"Xinghua, didn't you say that the transoceanic telegram would soon be available? Why hasn't there been any movement yet? Shi Kefa saw that Luo Jian was still thinking, and then asked.

"Brother Xian, I forgot to tell you this, the equipment Cihuan has already come out, just wait for the next time the fleet will go to North America to install and test, let's set up a relay station on the island of Hawaii, and the problem of connecting to North America is not big, but Cihuan wants to go to North America by himself, what do you think?" Luo Jian said.

"Huh? Cihuan is going to North America? I don't think it's appropriate, I'm afraid that Cihuan will go and never return. Shi Kefa pondered for a moment, shook his head and said.

Hearing Shi Kefa use the words "there is no return", Luo Jian laughed.

"Brother Xian, didn't you always hope that Cihuan could inherit the unification, if he could go to the Ming Kingdom in North America to become the emperor, wouldn't it also be regarded as inheriting the unification?" Luo Jian said with a smile.

"Cihuan is going to be the emperor? I'm afraid he can't even compare to a concubine now, right? Besides, if Cihuan leaves, our losses will be too great, the foundation of the electromagnetic industry has just begun, and as soon as he, the leader, leaves, I am afraid that the impact will be too great. Shi Kefa shook his head and said.

"Okay, I'll talk to him, Cihuan just misses his sister, and he's not interested in that throne." Luo Jian said.

The unanimous support of the Cabinet members for the help of the Ming Kingdom in North America was unanimously approved, and a week later, 2,000 new rifles and 30 guns from the 7th Division were loaded onto the ocean-going fleet, along with 50 instructors.

Liu Lan finally returned to Nanjing a year ago after finishing the preliminary preparations for the establishment of "Jian Lan" University, this is the first time Liu Lan has left Nanjing for such a long time, Luo Jian personally cooked a sumptuous dinner to welcome Liu Lan back.

"Liulan, your university is ready?"

"Where can you get it right in one go? There are many things, but this time the school site was chosen, and the construction of the house began. ”

"Liu Lan. You have to be a little ahead of your time, and you have to get it right in one step. ”

"Xinghua, I said what do you think? One step to make Tsinghua look like that? Do we have that many students? Liu Lan glanced at Luo Jian dissatisfied.

"Liu Lan, I didn't mean that, I mean that you have to demarcate the scope of the campus at one time, and save yourself from buying land for expansion in the future." Luo Jian said with a smile.

"It's up to you to say that. It's bigger than Tsinghua's territory, you can rest assured. Liu Lan said confidently.

"Two universities are built at the same time, Liu Lan, your money is almost spent, right?" Luo Jian asked with a smile.

"Cut, that was two years ago, tell you Xinghua, I can't spend enough money to build two more universities like this." Liu Lan said.

"Where did you get all this money?" Luo Jian asked in surprise.

"You! I never ask about family matters. Did you know that the bicycle factory already has three branches? Did you know that the woolen mill already has six branches? You know..."

Before Liu Lan finished speaking, she was interrupted by Luo Jian, "Liu Lan, why do you want so many factories?" Can you handle it? ”

"Cut. You think I'm in charge alone, I now have my own management team, and I report to me once a month, so I don't bother to care about the small things of each factory. Liu Lan said with a smile.

"Xinghua, I'm going to go to Arabia to buy land next, now that Song Lao and they have already figured out the internal combustion engine, the value of oil will soon be known to everyone, if it's too late. I'm afraid I won't buy it. Liu Lan continued.

The internal combustion engine has been successfully developed, of course Luo Jian knows, but now the internal combustion engine has not been applied to automobiles. Trials are beginning at only a few military factories as power equipment, but the development of automobiles is also underway.

"I agree with your idea, but I'm worried that the Arab region is still under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, but the rule of the Ottoman Empire will not last long, and these Arab countries will be separated in the future. Can you still count the land you bought? Luo Jian said with some concern.

"Che, Xinghua, how did you learn history? That's early. Besides, if even these overseas rights and interests are not protected, then we have worked in vain all these years. Liu Lan said with a smile.

"Hmm. You're right, the Naval Research Institute has already started building the first cruiser at the Nanjing Shipyard, which is a 6,000-ton ship. Luo Jian said.

"And the problem of steel welding solved?" Liu Lan knew that the fundamental technology that restricts ironclad ships is welding, so she asked some questions.

"It's solved, Liu Cui'e and their chemical research institute have got acetylene out, and now they use gas welding." Luo Jian said.

"Xinghua, the world is really unpredictable, I wanted to help Xiao Liu become a family, but I didn't expect to get a chemist, which is an unexpected joy." Liu Lan said with a smile.

"There are many surprises, Xiao Liu, they have already got the plastic out, you didn't expect it, right? Liulan, are you interested in building another factory? Luo Jian quipped.

"Xinghua, are you really trying to exhaust me to death? You can let someone else get this thing, I don't have that energy. Liu Lan glanced at Luo Jian dissatisfiedly and said.

"By the way, Xinghua, how is your government reshuffle?" Liu Lan asked.

Hearing Liu Lan ask about this, Luo Jian's face darkened suddenly.

If there is anything that has made Luo Jian unhappy in the past few years, it is the reshuffle of the government.

After conducting research in Hangzhou the year before last, Luo Jian arranged for a pilot government reorganization in Hangzhou, but encountered unprecedented resistance.

Although Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, and others have been publishing articles on institutional reform in the China Daily since last year, these articles have not attracted everyone's attention.

Subsequently, Luo Jian personally wrote several articles and published them in the "China Daily", although Luo Jian's current prestige has reached its peak, these articles are still resisted by everyone.

The resistance first came from within the cabinet, and Shi Kefa, out of absolute trust in Luo Jian, did not raise clear objections to the government's reform plan, but several cabinet members such as Yuan Jixian and Lu Zhenfei believed that the current government work model could not and did not need to make major adjustments, and once the action was too large, it would inevitably cause social unrest.

The difficulties encountered by Mao Bijiang in the pilot project in Hangzhou have indeed proved that the worries of Yuan Jixian and others are not unreasonable.

In fact, the system reform that Luo Jian is currently considering mainly only contains two aspects, the first is to adhere to the principle of judicial reading, specifically that the court exercises judicial power alone in accordance with the law. The procuratorate exercises its procuratorial power independently in accordance with the provisions of law, and is not subject to interference by administrative organs, social groups, or individuals.

In the pilot project in Hangzhou, police agencies were set up in various localities, but they encountered great difficulties in establishing procuratorates and courts.

The key is that there is no change in concept, and in the past, a small lawsuit between neighbors could be concluded in a few words by officials in the public court. Now when they go to the courts, they often go to court without results for several months, which makes ordinary people extremely dissatisfied.

Later, when people had some lawsuits, they often did not go to the courts, but continued to go to government departments to find officials, and the court established in Hangzhou last year became an ornament.

The report on judicial construction made Luo Jian feel a strong sense of frustration.

In her opinion, the current economic development does not require such a detailed law to restrain it, and the current legal construction itself has great problems.

Although a legal research institute has also been established. However, the "Da Ming Law" on which the research is based and the legal provisions in another time and space that Luo Jian found on the computer are not applicable to the current actual situation, and how to modify and improve them according to the actual situation requires the accumulation of time and experience.

Liu Lan suggested that Luo Jian should not consider establishing the judicial system in one step, but should first establish the police organization, and then gradually increase and improve it according to the needs of the development of the situation.

The second content of the system reform is to change the unclear powers and responsibilities into statutory functions and powers in the performance of duties. With power comes responsibility, and power and responsibility are reciprocal. The government can only ensure the correctness of power when it assumes the responsibilities entrusted to it by it.

Everyone understands the truth, but the idea of the official standard for thousands of years has made it extremely difficult to implement this point, and this point is even more obvious in Hangzhou. This is also the problem that makes Luo Jian the most headache.

In fact, Luo Jian also knew that in his own time and space, this problem still existed. And the problem is serious. Luo Jian was eager to change this situation, so he wanted to achieve statutory authority at the beginning of the reform.

The key to the statutory authority lies in handling matters according to procedures, and now the biggest problem is still implementation, although many of the Nanjing government has formulated relatively complete government work procedures, but in the actual implementation is often a formality.

The problems of judicial construction and the establishment of legal functions and powers have not been resolved, and the reform of other systems has also been delayed. It can be said that for more than a year, the pilot project of government reorganization in Hangzhou has basically not succeeded.

During this time, Luo Jian has been avoiding this question, but fortunately, there are continuous military victories and continuous breakthroughs in science and technology that can be comforted, otherwise Luo Jian doesn't know what he will be depressed about, and he was mentioned by Liu Lan today. Luo Jian's mood suddenly became bad.

Knowing that Liu Lan had returned from Beijing, Shi Kefa's family also went to Luo Jian's mansion at night, and the old lady saw that Liu Lan's eyes were red, and she almost burst into tears.

"Girl, you're back, if you don't come back, I'm ready to go to Beijing to find you."

Although the old lady is sixty-five years old, her health has become better and better in the past two years, and her spirit is also full, and she runs back and forth between her house and Luo Jianfu every day, and she hardly pulls down a day.

"Mother, aren't I coming back?" Liu Lan walked up to the old lady and hugged the old lady, and said coquettishly.

"Alas, I know that you are going to do great things, but my old woman is old, and I can't see any of you this day, so I am worried about it." The old lady hugged Liu Lan and said.

"Girl, are you having trouble with Xinghua? Why is he upset? The old lady saw Luo Jian sitting on the side silently, and found that he was in a bad mood.

Seeing Luo Jian's tightly knit brows, Shi Kefa stared at Luo Jian vigorously for a while, and then said:

"Xinghua, what's wrong with you? Liu Lan came back after going away for so long, why are you so unhappy? ”

"Brother Shi, Xinghua is not for the reorganization of the government, alas, I persuaded him for a long time, but he just can't turn this corner." Liu Lan said beside her.

"Let's talk, Xinghua, let's go to the study to talk?" Shi Kefa said as he walked towards Luo Jian's study upstairs. (To be continued.) )
