Chapter 19: Errands

Since the construction of the military academy began, Guangxu has not made a clear division of labor for several of his subordinates. As an engineer of the enterprise in later generations, for an enterprise, Guangxu knows that the consequence of unclear rights and responsibilities is the decentralization of power, when the enterprise develops to a certain scale, it must adopt more management personnel, and managers are the users of power, and have the right to have no responsibility, have no responsibility, and mismatch of power and responsibility. The phenomenon of over-concentration and over-decentralization of power and responsibility coexists at the same time, the allocation of decision-making, execution, and supervision functions is not scientific, and an effective supervision and restraint mechanism, performance appraisal mechanism, and accountability mechanism have not yet been established. Enterprises must be dragged down by internal friction and cannot develop and grow. It's the same with a political axe. When an emergency occurs, some leading cadres are analyzing whether the incident falls within their purview, whether they should bear the corresponding responsibility, who they should report to if something goes wrong, and how they can be exempted from responsibility. Passing the buck to each other will inevitably lead to inefficiency.

The stipulation is dead, but man is alive. "Power and responsibility are equal, and while having power, you also bear corresponding responsibilities", this sentence seems easy to say, but when it is actually implemented, there are countless difficulties of one kind or another. This is also the reason why Guangxu asked the courtiers to write down the list of engineering personnel and the matters they are responsible for when they go up the fold.

As for the current situation, Guangxu himself needs to monopolize power. Bijing, as a traverser, is still very clear about the trend of the military, politics, and world pattern in later generations, and Guangxu, as the emperor, only needs to grasp a general direction. However, in order to cope with the First Sino-Japanese War and prepare for the future, Guangxu ...... military, financial, intelligence, logistics, and security The stall was a little bigger, and there were a few people here. You have to count Liu Mei and Kou Liancai. If there are few people, it is inevitable that there will be several things to manage. Previously, for the procurement of ordnance at the military academy, Ouyang Zhenhua, Zhou Qin, and Cen Chunxuan had contradictions. In the end, it was decided by Guangxu. This can never be done again. Guangxu thought about it for several days, but he didn't discuss it with anyone.

"Also, although the world is big, there are only a few of you around the young master. I've never had a specific division of your work. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I don't know if it's right or wrong, so I'll set the tone now. If you think there is something wrong in the future, it is not too late to raise it and change it. Let's settle for now. ”

For several months, everyone has been doing the errands assigned by the emperor. The emperor has also praised him many times. But no one was given a clear official position. Although it doesn't have much to do on the surface. But secretly, who hasn't thought that he would really become an official and a half-job, so that he can be revealed. When everyone heard this, they knew that Guangxu was going to assign official positions to everyone. Excited expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

Seeing this situation, Guangxu could only smile faintly: "Don't think too much, I'm just an emperor with no real power." If you want to be assigned a specific official position, can you do it without Lafayette's consent? But don't worry. When the time comes, nature will come naturally. ”

Guangxu lowered his head and took a deep breath. Raising his head, he whispered, "Command." ”

Everyone stood up.

"Ouyang Zhenhua."

"Here." Ouyang Zhenhua replied in a low voice.

"You are in charge of military affairs, and you have trained an iron army for me. Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, and Feng Guozhang are going to be used by me, and these three people will be of great use to me in the future. ”

"Yes."

"Cen Chunxuan."

"Here."

"You have sent governors out many times, and you have impeached a large number of officials in each office. I don't want to judge how well you're doing. What is certain is that you can still be fearless of the powerful when it comes to breaking the law and discipline. That's good. Therefore, I order you to establish a military justice department to administer justice. I've seen the excerpts you've made, and it's generally good. However, military law is not comparable to national law, and some regulations still need to be considered. This can be discussed with Zi'an. You must do that those who violate military law will be punished regardless of their official position. Without exception. Guangxu pointed at Cen Chunxuan with his finger: "Including you." ”

"Yes, the minion understands."

"Zhou Qin."

"Here."

"I heard that you have a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, right?"

"Yes." Zhou Qin didn't know why, so he could only answer truthfully: "The minister is a gangster, and Mr. Rong doesn't remember the previous suspicions and accepted me as the first son." It's a pity that I didn't pass the imperial examination, so I can only donate an official, but I think that some officials can do this on the face. Friends in the rivers and lakes still remember that the minister is a little righteous, and he still has some personal popularity. ”

"Everyone has strengths, what's wrong with the gangsters. There are some things that can't be done officially, but the Jianghu people can do it. These people are also the most well-informed people. It is most suitable for finding out information without anyone noticing. And with the support of intelligence, it can be targeted. The important surname of this must be understood. Guangxu suddenly said in a stern tone: "Remember, your main errand is to build an intelligence network for me all over the world. Not only in my Great Qing Dynasty, but in the future, I will need my Great Qing intelligence officers in every place where there are people. Do you understand? ”

"Understood."

"Even if a mouse dies in the mouse hole, you have to find out for me. If you need any convenience, come directly to me. You should also take charge of the supply of military supplies for the time being. When you have the right person, leave this errand to someone else. There's really no one. You have to work hard first. ”

"Tang Shaoyi."

"Here."

"I was a good consul in Seoul, but I was transferred back to be the deputy assistant of a school. I must be sad in my heart. No way. I know you're very good at handling foreign affairs, but I really can't do it. It doesn't matter if you say it, I can only wronged you first. ”

"Ordered by the emperor, don't be wronged......"

Guangxu waved his hand and interrupted Tang Shaoyi: "I will be wronged in the future." I am constrained everywhere in the court, and I am powerless to change anything about my family and country, no matter how big or small. I figured out that I would set up a secretariat in the Imperial Study, and on the surface, I would be able to handle the paperwork for me. In fact, he specializes in giving advice to me. If necessary, it is also possible to bypass the military aircraft department. You should be the secretary general by my side. If there is a suitable person, you can also recommend it to me. ”

"Qi Yide."

"Here." Qi Yide learned from them to reply.

"You're in charge of security. There are some masters in the palace, you choose carefully. The safety of my wealth and that of all of you here is in your hands. You can not get out of the half spread pool. ”

"Understood." Qi Yide asked cautiously: "Young master, the slave has some friends outside, and his kung fu is not bad." Can it be used? ”

"You don't forget your friends. Faithfulness comes first, and you should use those who need it. But I still want to remind you that you are not only protecting the safety of me and your family, but also the security of intelligence, that is, what we say and do cannot be known to others. You've been with me for a long time. You have to think about these things. Fang Liang, the same is true for the people you use. Don't leak your own business while we are inquiring about others. ”

"Minions understand." Qi Yide and Zhou Qin replied when they returned.

"As for Willow Eyebrows?"

"Here." Liu Mei replied, which made Guangxu feel very awkward.

"Sit down. Liu Mei, you see that everyone has given me an errand, if I don't give you a point, I can't say that I am biased. I see, in addition to serving my diet and daily life, you also have to help Shaochuan in your spare time. The Secretariat is doing this only on an ad hoc basis. Shaochuan's big Buddha is still going to be released after all. I really need someone who can handle paperwork. What do you think? ”

"Yes."

"Kou Liancai."

"Huh?"

What is it called, Guangxu said unhappily: "Ah, what, so you didn't hear it." ”

"Young master, a slave is just a slave who serves a master. The slave only thinks that he can serve his master well. I'm afraid that the minions of this national event will not be able to do it. ”

"Don't bother to talk, isn't it bad for the young master to say it? There are only a few people around the young master, and everyone has to be on top. ”

"It's good to make it, what the young master said is definitely good for the slave."

"Just do it, listen. There is Fang Liang outside the palace, and the palace will be handed over to you. ”

"Yes."

That's pretty much it. Guangxu talked to them again and left. It's too late to go back, and the old lady can't go online yet.
