Chapter 37: A New Atmosphere
PS: Ask for a monthly pass
After Liu Pojun, Mo Huaiwen walked to the front desk, saluted Chen Xin and others, and began to read out the personnel appointments of the civil administration.
The Civil Department is under the overall management of Liu Minyou, and has a direct jurisdiction over the Counsellor's Office, the Supervision Bureau, and the Security Office, and has under its jurisdiction the Department of Industry and Commerce, the Department of Tun Affairs, the Department of Education, the Department of Personnel, the Department of Finance, and the Department of Construction.
Mo Huaiwen cleared his throat and said loudly: "The Tun Affairs Department is responsible for the construction of the Tunpu and the management of the household registration of the tun households. It has jurisdiction over the Household Registration Office, the Grain Tax Department, the Water Conservancy Department, the Fisheries Department, and the Agricultural Research Institute. The chief officer, Mo Huaiwen, who is also the deputy minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has temporary special powers to mobilize the Tunpu militia of less than 1,000 people. ”
After he finished speaking, he bowed to the audience, and there was a commotion on the civil affairs side, especially some of the old tun chiefs who were originally Wendeng, and they thought that it would be Xu Yuanhua who would continue to manage the tunpu. The Tun Affairs Department is the most powerful department of civil affairs, and the most populous in Dengzhou Town is the tunhu, obviously Xu Yuanhua has lost the position of the second leader of civil affairs. Some people secretly looked at Xu Yuanhua's reaction, but saw that Xu Yuanhua was applauding and congratulating with a smile on his face.
When the appointment was announced, most of the civil administration breathed a sigh of relief. It has been a month since the news of the institutional adjustment was released, and the most uncertain thing on the civil affairs side is the Tun Affairs Division, and many people from the civil affairs here have also visited Xu Yuanhua or Mo Huaiwen in advance, and took refuge in advance to strive for the promotion of the ladder, to strive for the greatest interests, it is essential to stand in line, and most people are optimistic about Mo Huaiwen.
Those who chose Mo Huaiwen's side were all happy at this time, and those who stood on Xu Yuanhua's side secretly called unlucky. Mo Huaiwen continued to read calmly, and there were not many surprises in the subsequent appointments
The chief financial secretary is Wang Daixi, who has jurisdiction over the four departments of taxation, appropriation, budget, and settlement, and is in charge of Wendeng's money cabinet. has great power, even if it is a person of the status of Mo Huaiwen and Song Wenxian. Every time I saw Wang Daixi, I was also full of smiles, and I didn't dare to offend this female god of wealth. Otherwise, it's just the budget settlement, and you have to grind people to death. With such a status, no one dares to marry this twenty-year-old girl now.
Under the jurisdiction of the Department of Education, the Department of Education will establish hundreds of tunhu schools, three vocational schools, and one university. The chief officer of the Department of Education is called Bo Bo, this person is a native of Wendeng, his ancestors have raised people, and his family had no worries about food and clothing earlier. However, he didn't have any fame in his own right, and he couldn't pass the exam, he was quite interested in some strange machinery and the like, and the family's living standard gradually decreased, and later entered the workshop with this craft. Later, he was admitted to the first science and technology class, and after graduation, he taught a new literacy class in Wendeng, which Liu Minyou thought was suitable for the Wendeng education system.
The chief officer of the Department of Industry and Commerce is Xu Yuanhua, under the jurisdiction of the Industrial Department, the Commercial Department, and the Industrial Research Office. It still received an enthusiastic response.
The construction department is responsible for the construction of roads, drainage, ports and other large-scale public projects, and the chief official is Zhang Erhui, who helped Tang Zuoxiang in the workshop from Weihai to Chongzhen for four years. He asked to be transferred to the army many times, but he never got his wish, and this time he was still left in the civil affairs by Liu Minyou.
The Inspectorate supervises all officials. It is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the chief official is called Gao Xiang. used to be an ordinary inspector, and he had corrected more than ten illegal land divisions in a row. Thus being selected by Liu Minyou.
Another very important personnel department is responsible for the appointment of all civil affairs officials, and the chief official is Wu Youdao, who is also the chief officer of the civil department, and belongs to the new real power faction.
Finally, Zhou Laifu and Wang Erya of the Sihai Trading Company, and the other treasurers of the Sihai Trading Company were not qualified to participate in the conference, because most of them were stationed in other places, and it was not a good thing to spread out the internal system of Dengzhou Town, and Liu Minyou would also preside over the reorganization of the Sihai Trading Company. There is also a workshop of Tang Zuoxiang, the workshop was transferred to the Department of Industry and Commerce, and the tobacco factory, as the most promising industry, directly belongs to Liu Minyou.
After the appointment was announced, the power structure of Dengzhou Town became clear, and the people sitting in the room were the people who had entered the various divisions this time, and they were all looking forward to knowing which division they belonged to, and they began to ask the people around them.
Chen Xin knocked on the table, and after the room was quiet, he glanced at the room full of subordinates, this is the skeleton of his army with hundreds of thousands of people in the future, and the lower-level officials are his nerve endings, and a strong organization can burst out with the greatest mobilization force, and what supports this organization is to give power and resources at all levels, many of which conflict with the existing structure of society, which is the root of his system's constant conflict with the surrounding forces, It is also the reason why he is deeply wary of the vacillation of Lu Chuanzong and others.
He deliberately placed Lu Chuanzong's battalion headquarters in Shimen Mountain, not far away, and the other two thousand headquarters were stationed in Zhaoyuan and Laiyang, among which Zhaoyuan was dissatisfied with the staff, and Laiyang was cut off by the garrison battalion in Dengzhou. Judging from the tight control of Dengzhou Town, there is no basis for any general to rebel, but a small number of cronies will definitely have it, and Chen Xin's deployment is also in the hope that they will not have the opportunity to make mistakes.
If this system can't be kept tight, then the various bad habits of officialdom and society in the late Ming Dynasty will quickly erode Dengzhou Town, and at that time, even if Chen Xin wants to change, he may not be able to do so, so he needs to suppress these signs in the bud, as long as these organizational structures enter normal operation, he can have more ways to deal with wavering people, and there is no need to eliminate them.
Chen Xin said lightly: "What Director Liu and Director Mo read out above is the new system of my Dengzhou Town, and the appointment of lower-level military and political officers will be carried out with the reorganization plan, and will be carried out by the Department of Military Affairs. The heads of the civil affairs divisions need to immediately proceed to improve their statutes and arrange for their respective posts to be appointed to the Personnel Division. Within half a month, they must build their respective personnel, divide the responsibilities of the personnel, and start to deal with business normally, the new division has its own imperfections, and you need to improve, but the general framework has been determined, and each division must strictly complete the responsibilities within its jurisdiction, and if it is necessary for other divisions to complete together, it will be reported to the Ministry of Civil Affairs Liu for coordination. If you squat in the pit, you have to, those people who are vegetarian corpses are not what I want in Dengzhou Town, and I don't have to wait until the end of the year to evaluate the performance. In the small fishing village of the past, now the strong town of Dengzhou, you have also changed from a homeless person to the person in charge of the party, and you will definitely do more in the future. I hope to make great progress with Dengzhou Town, and we encourage you. ”……
The next half month. Dengzhou Town was in a state of chaos, and batches of appointment and dismissal orders were issued. Personnel everywhere are transferring and reporting, and each department has set up its own temporary government office on the east side of the school field, originally there were many unmanned mansions in the city, but Chen Xin thought that the city was too ostentatious, so that all the official offices were located near the school field, and the military camp was used to cover it up. Liu Minyou asked them not to disperse so that they could communicate with each other.
As the cells of the cantonfort are intensively established, the army is also being mobilized everywhere, and it is also necessary to build barracks. The money in Liu Min's account was spent like flowing water. In the past half a month, Liu Minyou and Chen Xin have not had the slightest idleness, and there are many office processes in each department that need to be confirmed, such as how much funding is required for which level of approval, and how to divide the intersecting things between each department, all of which must be decided by Liu Minyou and Chen Xin.
The army's structure used to be relatively perfect, and Chen Xin was less pressed, and he still had time to go to Laiyang to inspect the training base of the Mobilization Division.
Liu Minyou was so busy that he was on all fours, soaking in the pile of papers. The chief officials of the various divisions are also similar to Liu Min. There will always be a lot of inexplicable problems in a new department, and there will be no shortage of things to do with other departments, but under the pressure of Liu Minyou, they can only work overtime to complete it.
June 29. As soon as Liu Minyou arrived at the official office, Wu Youdao, the director of his staffing office, handed over the arrangements for today's meeting, and Liu Minyou saw that the meeting arrangements were five. Sigh helplessly.
The stupid monk helped the two of them deliver steamed cakes and buns, which was a benefit provided by Liu Minyou to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Complimentary breakfast is only available until work hours. It is to motivate those people to go to the office room earlier.
Liu Min didn't have any shelves, and the stupid monk was also used to it, the three of them each found a place to sit, and ate steamed cakes with rice soup.
Wu Youdao still looked so mysterious, he wiped his mouth after eating, looked left and right and said in a low voice: "My lord, there is a meeting that is not easy to open today." ”
Liu Minyou flipped the rì cheng in his hand, "What will?" Is it Huang Side participating in that? ”
Wu Youdao patted his leg, "That's right, his mission bureau will not only set up missionaries in Tunpu, but also set up teachers in vocational schools, and require that the performance appraisal of Tunpu and the school should be divided into two percent to the mission bureau, so they don't have to manage Tunpu." ”
Liu Minyou grabbed the brush on the table and painted the one on it, "I don't have anything to say to Huang Side, I won't go to this meeting, you and Mo Huaiwen can go, anyway, I will never agree to this matter, he can send a missionary, but the missionary is returned to the head of the tun and the principal for performance evaluation, you just tell Mo Huaiwen." ”
Wu Youdao is in charge of personnel, and also has part of the power of the tun chief's performance appraisal, he naturally does not want the mission bureau to meddle in the tunpu, he swallowed a mouthful of buns and agreed: "The villain remembers, the villain is made to be the tun chief, the work of the tun chief is tedious enough, you see, the tun affairs, personnel, supervision, mobilization, industry and commerce, and construction departments have to deal with it, no one can afford to offend, he is not enough, the villain to deal with him, I am not afraid of that Huang Side, he will say something big." ”
Liu Min had a look at the other four meetings, one of which was a regular meeting of the Ministry of Finance, two of which was a meeting of the Department of Construction, and the last one was a meeting of the Department of Industry and Commerce, and the topic was the expansion of the original comprehensive store.
"What's going on with this store? How could Dong Yu come to the meeting. ”
Wu Youdao just finished eating, wiped his hands on his clothes, and opened his briefcase, this is also a new product from Wendeng, Wu Youdao felt that it was very easy to use, he looked at the materials for a while and said: "It was proposed by Dong Yu, he thinks that there are more and more soldiers, and he is worried that there will be more and more wars in the future, and it is difficult to settle the wounded soldiers when they retreat, so he requires the shops in Tunpu to give priority to the wounded soldiers." The application was handed over to the reference room, and the villain was transferred to Xu Yuanhua. ”
"Oh." Liu Minyou pondered for a while, Dong Yu's matter is not the first time to mention, now in addition to the comprehensive store, all kinds of other shops have also begun to increase, especially some well-located Tunpu, for example, the population of the three Tunpu near Laoying is actually far more than 500 households, and the last statistics of the third fort reached 6,000 people, and it is naturally not enough to rely on a comprehensive store, "Then what did Xu Yuanhua say?" ”
"He said to invite adults to participate and set the tone."
"He himself is the chief officer of the Department of Industry and Commerce, and he has no bills to be elected, so he is waiting for me to set the tone?"
Wu Youdao hurriedly said: "He has it, he has proposed two bills, which are roughly left according to thirty percent, and by the way, he also proposed another bill, to expand the internal comprehensive store, so that there can be more shops." ”
"How do I scale?"
"In the past, the comprehensive store was only in Tunpu, and now the credit is also available, and the people outside are willing to sell their grain to our store, and they are also willing to come here to buy some commercial goods, but some of the distant ones are quite inconvenient, and some do not come, and there is a lot less business in plain water, and he said that it can be extended to the cities of Denglai, the guard and the big towns."
Liu Min nodded a little, "This is a good idea, this comprehensive store has brought down many grain stores in Wendeng, originally because I was afraid of expanding too much and there were too many conflicts with the local government, but now it has the prestige of Dengzhou Town, and those local officials and gentry don't dare to embarrass us anymore." It can be set up as a chain store, directly operated in large places, privately contracted in small places, and those who have someone in the family to join the army are preferred. ”
Wu Youdao hurriedly took a note, Liu Minyou remembered something, and asked Wu Youdao: "How is Zhaoyuan's gold?" ”
"Yesterday, Mo Huaiwen went to the army for a meeting, it is said that Lord Chen presided over it, and this matter is handled by the army, I'm afraid it's going to be done."
Liu Minyou frowned, "Why is the army in charge again." ”
"It is said that it will be transferred to the civil affairs after it is beaten, but we haven't made it clear who will take care of it, Mo Huaiwen worked overtime yesterday night to make an application, and came to hand it over to the villain in the middle of the night, saying that he hoped to bring the mining affairs into the jurisdiction of the Tun Affairs Department to facilitate the use of manpower, which also makes some sense, the tun has the most people, and there is no need for special miners to transfer people from various forts, and there is only a sum of manpower silver left."
Wu Youdao has a good mind and is very organized, he rummaged through the briefcase for a while, and quickly found the application and handed it to Liu Minyou, Liu Minyou glanced at it casually, which listed a lot of reasons, saying that it was convenient to comprehensively mobilize manpower, and that he was busy and idle, in short, he hoped to be included in the cantonment. Digging for gold naturally everyone wants, even if there is supervision, there are always benefits in it, at least it is to increase power, at the end of the year when the performance appraisal, this income of more than 100,000 taels will definitely greatly increase the goodwill of the leadership.
Liu Minyou now remembers that there seems to be no planning for the mining business, and Mo Huaiwen remembered to write the application just after the meeting yesterday, and hurriedly handed it over in the middle of the night, just to fight for the jurisdiction of the mining business. Liu Minyou muttered: "It is said that the Department of Industry and Commerce should manage this matter." ”
Wu Youdao heard it clearly, and immediately echoed: "Who said no, aren't miners just workers, it just so happens that the Department of Industry and Commerce is under the jurisdiction, and the major event of tun affairs is farming, and there is no tunbao over there in Zhaoyuan, so it is not appropriate to belong to tun affairs." ”
Liu Minyou rummaged through the white smoke, this Wu Youdao is organized, diligent, and very good at remembering, but he has no position in doing things, and he says everything according to himself, and was about to reproach him a few words, when the guards at the door knocked on the door and said loudly: "Master Xu of the Department of Industry and Commerce is here." ”
Liu Minyou and Wu Youdao glanced at each other and said in unison: "The one who wants the gold mine is here." ”
"Let him wait in the main hall for a while, and I'll see him when I'm done eating." Liu Minyou rubbed his head and sighed, "When can I take a break." (To be continued.) )
