【213】Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains open up a new face (17)

Hu Guangting said: "Chairman, we will fix whatever you say, this is not said." ”

Other comrades also agreed.

Yao Fan said: "At present, we need to set up a number of corresponding government agencies, I have thought about it, and now before we can not establish a national table conference mechanism for the time being, we must first set up various departments." First of all, the first institutions were established as follows.

Plenary session of the Chinese Civil Affairs Consultative Council. This organ is used to unite and coordinate all the forces of the old regime, and we, the Communist Party, are to mediate the relations between all parties and to properly handle the affairs with the bureaucrats, intellectuals, scholars of merit, enlightened gentry, and businessmen left behind by the old regime.

The National Committee of the Chinese Civil Affairs Consultative Conference. This body, temporarily headed by Li Hongzhang, was used to admit a non-proletarian patriot and to establish the broadest united front.

People's Revolutionary Military Council. I won't talk about this, the barrel of the gun has always been the foundation of the people's political power.

General Office of the Central Committee. This body is used to convey and arrange the supreme directives and work of the Party Central Committee.

Since Zhongnanhai has not undergone successive reconstructions by the Qing government and the Beiyang government as in later generations, it lacks large-scale conference venues.

For this reason, or for any other purpose, the plenary meeting of the Central Revolutionary Committee of the Provisional Government of the Chinese Socialist Revolution was privately set in the Taihe Hall by Yao Fan's subordinates.

Yao Fan didn't agree at first, but considering that there were as many as 100 cadres attending the meeting, and the Taihe Hall was the main hall of the court for hundreds of years, it seemed that it was a pity not to take advantage of it. Selfishly, Yao Fan also wants to sit on the dragon chair in person, even once.

There are four big characters hanging on the Taihe Palace, "Jianji Suiyou".

Extremely, in the ancient text, it represents the central beam, and only when the central beam is impartial, the structure of the house is safe. Jianji hopes to establish a formal and orderly government structure. Sui means to conform. 猷, representing the law.

The four big characters of "Jianji Suiyou" on the Taihe Palace were written by Qianlong himself, and in another time and space, after Yuan Shikai ascended the throne, he disappeared.

Yao Fan sat on the chair under the plaque, condescendingly, looking around the rows of tables and chairs in the Taihe Hall with improvised blue tablecloths and white chair covers, and looking around at the comrades sitting in these tables and chairs.

But this chair is very uncomfortable to sit on.

For 500 years, this is the most important chair in China, and sitting here means sitting in the world. But Yao Fan felt uncomfortable sitting on it.

Once, in the 2,377-square-meter Taihe Palace, and even more than 30,000 square meters of the Taihedian Square, there was only this chair, and only this chair was allowed. Now there are so many tables and chairs around it, so that this chair that has experienced 500 years of vicissitudes is no longer lonely.

The seven steps hold the throne carved with 13 golden dragons, surrounded by an incense burner and a treasure elephant carrying a treasure vase, the incense burner prays for the blessing of the heavens, the treasure elephant indicates the auspiciousness of the world, and the treasure bottle means that the country is peaceful.

The chair was also uncomfortable to lean on, and although there were bright yellow satin cushions embroidered with golden dragons under the buttocks, the thirteen golden dragons on the back of the chair and the armrests were hard and uneven, so that people had nowhere to lean.

Yao Fan held back his awkwardness and instructed: "Regarding the composition of the subordinate institutions of various ministries and commissions, there are drafts here, and they can be implemented according to the draft, and they can also be discussed and modified, and additions and deletions can be made.

As for the selection of department leaders, I think it is still necessary to mainly absorb progressive intellectuals, and if some departments want to operate smoothly from the beginning, they will have to bring in a few old bureaucrats from the old regime. For these people, as long as they work diligently and are willing to contribute to the new regime, we will use them for the time being. We should properly discuss and decide on specific candidates during this period of time, and in this regard, we can solicit the opinions of Li Hongzhang and Ding Baozhen and appoint some patriotic personages recommended by them. ”

……………………

With the formation of central departments one by one, the functions of the new government have been gradually perfected, and the initial form of a modern government has been established. Decrees were gradually implemented in the liberated areas, but in general, North China was still under military control.

The old man had gray hair and mottled braids, and he was carrying his wrinkled face in the yard, looking at the sky and sighing.

Since the "glue thief" invaded Beijing, the Shi family has never been out.

The old man who experienced the chaos of the Tianli Sect during the Jiaqing period knew that those who rebelled were all outlaws, and to this day, the Forbidden City Longzong Gate still pokes the iron arrows of those sects that attacked the palace with arms. Those people even dare to fight the palace, what else dare not do?

At the beginning, the British and French troops entered Beijing and burned the Old Summer Palace, so the capital was in chaos again, and there were bandits and robbers from the countryside who entered the city.

The psychological shadow caused by the two turmoils on the people of Beijing is profound. Old Man Shi is no exception.

Now the old man instructed the family to put a broken jar behind the courtyard gate, and the door was not allowed to be opened, and the whole family was not allowed to go out.

Fortunately, there is rice and noodles at home that can be eaten for March and drinking water in case of emergency, and now it comes in handy, which makes the old man feel that he is really wise, so he takes out his foresight from time to time to talk about things.

"If I hadn't known that the world would be in chaos after all, the whole family would have to drink the northwest wind today."

"Dad, you're so wise." Son Shi Futing Road.

"Dad, when do you think those glue thieves will leave?" Chun Tao, the eldest daughter-in-law with a black oily head, asked.

"Be quiet! These two words are not to be mentioned again. The old man said tremblingly.

After about a few days, the city did not hear of the shortage of soldiers, and the neighbors in the alleys also began to sneak into the streets and even visit the door, everyone found that except for some more soldiers wearing green uniforms on the street, the rest were all the same, the waterwheels still entered the city to sell water, the grain stores still opened to sell grain, and the carriage and horse shops were still full of people.

Beijingers' favorite teahouse is also open.

The old man felt that the rumors had passed, so he decided to go to the teahouse to inquire about the news. That place has always been a place for gossip, and for an ordinary person like Old Man Shi who has no relatives to be officials above, he can't think of any other place to get news except for the teahouse.

Fuguang Tea House is on the North Street not far from the Xixi Hutong where the Shi family lives, and the old man took his beloved little yellow bird early this morning, accompanied by his eldest son Shi Futing.

The business of the teahouse is very hot, probably these days are out to listen to the news, the teahouse is full, all day long is a group of people in and out, talking about the latest current news.

After Mr. Shi entered the door, he stood in the noisy lobby and waited for a long time before he saw the shopkeeper come to greet him.

"Master Shi, you are a rare guest, but it just so happens that the seats are full now, why don't you add a seat in the East Wing?"

Master Shi didn't come to drink tea on purpose, he nodded.

So the shopkeeper took the little yellow bird of the old man and hung it on the iron hook of a row of hanging cages at the window of the inner courtyard. Introduced Master Shi into the corner of the east against the wall, put two stools, moved a broken table from the backyard, and plugged the corner of the lame leg against the corner of the wall to prevent the broken table from shaking.

The guy quickly polished the table with a shiny rag, and asked with a smile while wiping, "Second master, what do you want to drink?" ”

Master Shi said: "Bring us two lamps of six pieces of incense." ”

The guy said with a smiling face: "Master Shi, now that the store is full, I finally make room for you, so you only order a cup of six pieces of incense?" If you go back and wash the six-star tea leaves into the water eight times, how will we live in the future when we open the teahouse? Now that the war is in chaos, don't you want us to drink the northwest wind? ”

Master Shi tilted his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Then come two more bowls of rotten meat noodles, and simply have breakfast at your place and go back." ”

"Hey! Okay! The guy smiled and agreed.

After the guy walked away, Master Shi pricked up his ears, turned on the wind and shadow hunting mode, and listened attentively to the discussions of people from all walks of life in the teahouse. His son Shi Futing also looked seriously at the teahouse to see if there were any acquaintances he knew.

Soon, as the bags made by several flag people and the tea began to be thick in front of the idlers, everyone gradually couldn't control their mouths.

A middle-aged man in an off-white homespun coat opened his mouth and said, "Fifth Master, those People's Liberation Army are now sitting in the imperial court?" So where is our former emperor now? Or is it to create a new emperor? But the new emperor always has to have an enthronement ceremony, right? Also, do you say that the new emperor is a Manchu or a Han? Also, were these PLA green battalions before? How do you wear it from head to toe? ”

"Bullshit Green Camp. I heard that they are all mud legs from Shandong. If you want to say that those People's Liberation Army, don't look at the color of green worn up and down the body, in fact, the green cloth is exquisite, and the green color is the most difficult to dye, I ask you, which dyeing workshop in Beijing can dye it? Just the copper-tipped bright oil cow belt in his waist estimated that he would have to pay a tael of silver. "This fifth master wears a melon skin hat, shrinks his head and forks the topic of the emperor, only talking about the People's Liberation Army's dress."

Someone at the other table was asking, "Master Ma, I heard that your boss has now been incorporated into the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications?" What's that? ”

Master Ma said proudly: "I heard that I learned telegraphy, and telegraph is a foreign thing, and I don't understand it, as if to say, it is a divine object that can communicate thousands of miles!" It's quite godly anyway. Now the group of students in Guozijian are making a fuss, unwilling to learn foreign science, now annoyed, saying that if they don't like to learn, they will all get out, and the rest of the scholars as long as they are literate, they can go to the Lama Temple in Sainku Hutong to sign up, and the new science training class is set up in the temple. The eldest of my family used to listen to errands in the Ministry of Rites, but now the court has changed its face, so I have to go home and stay. He felt that among all the new sciences, the method of telegraphy was quite miraculous, so he went to sign up. ”

"Master Ma, it's only been a few days since you opened your mouth and closed your mouth to call that you are coming up today, aren't you afraid that the emperor will come back and cut off your old head?"

Master Ma said excitedly: "Phew, are you still pointing the emperor back?" Dream on you. These days, everywhere the palace has been raided, the public trial platform outside the front door is set up by the old Gao, every day in the public trial of corrupt officials and relatives of the emperor, after the trial, they are pulled out and shot, rolling heads to the ground, are some former princes Beizi, high-ranking officials of various yamen. Do you still dare to mention the emperor now? That's the old calendar! ”
