"Your Majesty, do you want your concubine to be the executive vice chairman of this union?" Liu Xue first took this into consideration, thinking that Wang Guorui wanted her to be the executive vice chairman of the union, because she was also the head of the labor department.

But Wang Guorui shook his head and said, "No, I plan to let this guild elect its own executive vice president, and let those union members elect themselves, not me." If I were to appoint it, it would be easy to bureaucratize the unions in the end, which would be a huge blow to the unions. At that time, I am afraid that the trade unions will not be able to effectively protect the interests of the workers. I even have to restrict the person who is the executive vice chairman of the trade union from owning any company stock, and the social relationship background must be far from the entrepreneurs, at least there are no entrepreneurs within the close relatives, so that they can become the executive vice chairman of the trade union. ”

Wang Guorui was well aware of the consequences of the bureaucratization of trade unions, and the role of trade unions in later China was much lower than during the revolutionary period. The trade unions of that era, which represented the interests of the workers, had been severely weakened and had become largely subservient to the bureaucracy. Later generations of trade unions have been largely bureaucratized, which is very unhealthy. Therefore, Wang Guorui does not plan to appoint the vice chairman of the union himself, and let them elect it themselves. If you appoint yourself, you will definitely end up with a lot of problems due to the influence of many political factors. And if you appoint yourself, it's easy to think that it's a bureaucratic organization, and it's easy to bureaucratic the unions. Even if the emperor himself appoints him, it would be an unhealthy situation for the executive vice president of the trade union to be responsible to the emperor and not genuinely for the sake of the workers.

Therefore, in the trade union, the incumbent emperor is the nominal chairman, and the specific affairs are still in charge of the people elected by the union itself, and the emperor is only the final judge. Therefore, Liu Xue will not serve as the executive vice chairman of this union. After all, she is also a concubine, so she is obviously a bit wasted.

"Doesn't the concubine hold a position?" Liu Xue asked helplessly.

Wang Guorui arranges some positions for his concubines, which is conducive to their physical and mental health, and is also beneficial to his queen. Palace Harmony. Many emperors wanted their queen. The palace is harmonious, but in the end it is still illegal. In fact, the reason is very important, that is, those concubines are nothing more than competing for favor in the court every day, and there is nothing else to do. Their positions of power came from the favor of the emperor. Then they naturally have to think about how to compete for favor. And the position of the concubine is also like a ladder, and as long as there is self-motivation, they will climb along this ladder. And the most important factor affecting this ladder is actually the emperor's favor. Therefore, whether it is from "career development" or from oneself to obtain benefits, it is necessary to compete for favor.

Wang Guorui arranged a job for the concubine, in fact, it should be able to make them harmonious to a certain extent. After all, they all have their own things, so they don't regard competing for favor as the first priority every day. And Wang Guorui's electoral system for the throne also cracked the reason why they fought for favor for their descendants, so they had their own jobs. And there is no intention to seize the throne for the sake of future generations, so naturally there is no need to compete for favor so desperately.

But now Wang Guorui plans to remove Liu Xue from his position, which makes Liu Xue feel a little lost. Because other women have positions, then of course she is not happy. After Wang Guorui's. Palace, status can't just look at the title, many times the title can't be completely counted. For example, Tanya and Natasha, they are in the back. Gong didn't have any titles, but who dared to despise them? It is more important to see who they are and what they are responsible for. So if Bloodshed is removed from this position in the labor department, it means that her status has plummeted. Even with the title of queen, it is difficult to guarantee her status.

"You don't have to worry, I'm going to let you go to be the dean of the examination institute!" Wang Guorui said.

"Dean of the Examination Academy?" Liu Xue was surprised.

Of course, Liu Xue knows what the position of the dean of the examination institute is, and the dean of the examination institute is a very important department of power. Because the Examination Institute is in charge of the selection and appointment of civil servants and officials at all levels across the country, it is actually equivalent to the Ministry of Officials in the past. The ministry manages personnel power, and Wang Guorui stipulates that the prime minister and cabinet ministers are elected by the parliament, and then the prime minister organizes the cabinet to carry out administrative work. But Wang Guorui doesn't mean to let them mess around. Wang Guorui still grasped the appointment power of officials at all levels.

For example, the positions of deputy governors and above in each province must be handed over to the examination institute for drafting, and then handed over to the emperor to personally sign and approve the appointment. The provincial prefects and governors also have the principal and deputy positions of various halls and bureaus, which are also nominated by the local government and then handed over to the examination institute for review. Finally, it was approved and signed by the dean of the examination institute.

As for those county-level officials, they were not completely abandoned, but let the examination institute set up examination branches in each province, and then the president of the examination branch was nominated by the central examination institute, and then signed and appointed by the incumbent emperor. The directors of the examination branches of each province have the right to draw up official positions such as county governors and county officials at the county level, and then hand them over to the Central Examination Institute for record, but they will not be subject to too detailed political review. However, if there is a problem with the appointment of the dean of the examination branch, he can even be held accountable at his discretion.

As for the officials at the township level, they are also appointed by the provincial examination branches through internal consultation.

It is conceivable that this examination institute is an important means used by Wang Guorui to restrain the cabinet, and this examination institute has the personnel power. Although he does not have direct authority over the appointment of central officials, if the central cabinet wants to govern perfectly, and if it wants to implement its own governing philosophy, it must cooperate with the examination institute. However, the dean of the examination institute was appointed by Wang Guorui, so in the end, he had to return to a certain degree of political transactions with Wang Guorui. If the cabinet's policies are not in line with Wang Guorui's wishes, or if they are too harmful to the interests of Wang Guorui, the emperor, then Wang Guorui can directly appoint officials through the examination institute and make local officials obey his orders.

At that time, it was difficult for the central cabinet to implement its policies thoroughly, and perhaps at the central level, there would be a high level of enthusiasm, but at the middle level, it was completely obstructive.

In later generations, there was a situation called middle obstruction, the superiors were very enthusiastic, and the subordinates were full of energy, but the middle level was obviously not enthusiastic and deliberately delayed. And this state of obstruction can easily distort good policies, and then good policies cannot be implemented for a long time.

Wang Guorui is actually using the control of this executive layer to contain the cabinet, anyway, if the cabinet wants to implement its own policies well, it must also reach an agreement with Wang Guorui, if it can't be agreed, then the cabinet can issue orders, but Wang Guorui can make him unable to implement it, and become a dead letter. Therefore, Wang Guorui controlled the executive level, so that the cabinet did not dare to completely bypass him to administer. However, on the other hand, Wang Guorui also limited the emperor's power to directly interfere in government affairs, and the cabinet must carry out specific administration, which is also conducive to the balance of imperial power and relative power. This is exactly the opposite of the feudal era, where the emperor made decisions and the courtiers carried them out. But this is carried out by the emperor and decided by the cabinet.

"The president of the examination institute is very important, according to the five-year term of office of the president of the examination institute, once I decide to appoint it, unless all kinds of violations of law and discipline are exposed in the middle, the parliament and the court can remove the president of the examination institute, otherwise the president of the examination institute cannot be removed from the position. So once I was appointed, I was worried that within five years, the dean of the Examination Institute would betray me, so I was not very worried about handing over the first term to an outsider. So I'm going to make you the head of this examination institute and prepare for the establishment of the examination institute. Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui, the first dean of the Examination Academy, intends to let himself be a person who can almost be absolutely trusted, and the ones who can be absolutely trusted at present are his own concubines. After all, as long as these concubines are listed as concubines, they are destined to be completely linked to the royal family, and they can't be separated, and they can't get rid of them if they want to. So Wang Guorui can rest assured that Liu Xue's interests are absolutely the same as herself, and she can't act however she wants. Therefore, the first dean of the examination institute asked her to be in charge, which was also a good choice.

And there is one most important reason, there is no one behind Liu Xue. Behind Zheng Hong is the army and the forces of the Heaven and Earth Society, and Kang Tongwei is also a little behind him, such as those feudal and corrupt forces. If Kang Tongwei is put in charge of the examination institute, it may be possible that some feudal rotten people will return to the government. As for Chen Lin, her ethnic minority status is not suitable to come to the examination institute. As for other women, they are not qualified. The most suitable one is Liu Xue, although she was born in the Nanyang Liu family, but this makes her innocent behind her.

The Nanyang area was not affected by the Confucianism, and the great control of the Liu family's Lanfang Republic had been destroyed, and there was almost nothing left after being hit by the Dutch back then, and the Liu family actually had no power at all. Moreover, the Liu family has no power in the mainland and is not affected by the local forces in the mainland, plus there are not too many interest groups behind Liu Xue who are eager for power rent-seeking, so Liu Xue, who has a relatively innocent background, has become the only person who can hold this important position at present.
