Chapter 128 Administrative System

Wang Guorui had just finished a meeting on military reorganization, and then immediately went to another conference room to hold a meeting on the construction of the administrative system. In the past, because of the war, there were not many changes to the construction of the administrative system, after all, if there were any reforms to be carried out during the war, it would be a great loss of vitality. Therefore, in order to prevent accidents in the war, Wang Guorui did not carry out the reform of the civil service system. And now that the war is over, it is natural to make a change in Taiwan. Because Taiwan has now become a special administrative region, if it still follows the management model of the past, I am afraid that it will have a great impact. Moreover, the management methods of the past are also backward, and must be replaced by another more advanced method.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we are discussing the establishment of an administrative system under the leadership of the Governor General of Taiwan, that is, the establishment of a civilian bureaucracy. We in Taiwan should follow the example of the West and establish a more mature civil and bureaucratic system, so that we can give better play to our administrative efficiency. And first of all, we must establish our administrative system in Taiwan, and first of all, I intend to set up an institution under the leadership of the Governor General of Taiwan. Taiwan should be divided into two systems, one is the Taiwan Governor-General's Office under the leadership of the Governor-General of Taiwan, and the other is the Executive Yuan of Taiwan. The Taiwan Governor-General's Office is responsible for macro strategic decision-making, while Taiwan's Executive Yuan is responsible for specific implementation. The president of Taiwan's Executive Yuan is directly appointed and entrusted by the Governor General of Taiwan, and the Governor of Taiwan cannot directly intervene in the affairs of the Executive Yuan under normal circumstances, and can only directly remove the president of the Executive Yuan after a major mistake in the Executive Yuan, and then order the reorganization of the Executive Yuan. From then on, all orders issued by the Governor's Office had to be countersigned by the President of the Executive Yuan in order to be considered an order that could be passed on to Guò. ”

And Wang Guorui said this about the division of labor between the governor of Taiwan and the executive yuan of Taiwan, and everyone knows that the executive yuan of Taiwan is actually a specific administrative person. And if the governor is the emperor, then the executive yuan is also the prime minister in charge of specific affairs. However, Wang Guorui also said it in advance. Even he, the governor of Taiwan, could not directly intervene in the affairs of the Executive Yuan, and could only remove the president of the Executive Yuan after a serious mistake. This one made many people breathe a sigh of relief, after all, if Wang Guorui is a strong governor, then the president of the Executive Yuan may be replaced like a marquee.

Of course, Wang Guorui knows that if a head of government changes frequently, it may not be a good thing for a country or region. And Wang Guorui knows the Taiwanese administrative system he is currently building. It is a miniature version of the future when the country was established by itself, and the establishment of the national administrative system in the future is probably to be enlarged according to this version, so we have to pay attention to it. In order for the country to function normally in the future, it is still necessary to set up good rules, and then select the candidates for this Executive Yuan.

And Wang Guorui also knows that if he becomes an emperor in the future, the general trend of the whole world will be a constitutional monarchy, so Wang Guorui does not think that he can escape this fate. Therefore, he chose to be the governor that is, to manage macro affairs, and if he becomes the emperor in the future, he only needs to be responsible for macro affairs. Don't get too involved in the affairs of the government below. If you meddle too much, I am afraid that it will cause a backlash from civil officials. Although Wang Guorui was not afraid when he was alive, revenge may also be revenge on his descendants. Therefore, it is necessary to set up rules at the beginning and not get too involved in specific administrative work, so that many problems can be avoided.

As for Wang Guorui's plan, it is actually a synthesis of the current foreign system, one is the presidential republican system, and the other is the cabinet system. In the United Kingdom, the cabinet system is implemented. The United States has a presidential system. And Wang Guorui synthesized it and found that in fact, neither of these two is suitable for him. After all, he will definitely rule the world in the future. Naturally, he is not willing to be a person who has no rights at all and is at the mercy of the cabinet. However, the presidential system is not very suitable, if you become the emperor or interfere in everything like the presidential system, I am afraid that it will have a great impact on your descendants, so that your descendants will follow the example, and in the end they may suffer a violent backlash from civil officials. Instead, they overthrew their own descendants.

Therefore, Wang Guorui adopted the "semi-presidential system" of France in later generations, so that it can be relatively well passed. This kind of system can balance the rights of the emperor and the prime minister in the future, and will not cause the problem of disintegration. In this way, as a king in the future, as long as he is in charge of the army, diplomacy, and the final decision on major affairs, and the government is responsible for daily affairs, most things can be left to the government side to decide. Only the most important matters will be asked to the monarch to decide. In this way, no matter what, the monarchy and the relative power can check and balance each other, so as to ensure that their descendants will not be too reckless, and they can also ensure that even if they are misbeneficial, at most they will only temporarily lose power, and will not cause a major revolution in the country. This is also the semi-presidential system, which is very flexible, so as not to cause collapse.

"Your Excellency the Governor, what are the yamen in the Governor's Mansion and the Executive Yuan?" Someone asked.

Wang Guorui took the initiative to say: "There is a military committee under the governor's palace, and the governor himself is also the chairman of the military committee. The Governor's Office consists of the General Office of the Governor's Office, the Department of Friendship and Liaison with Foreign Countries, the Department of Personnel, the Department of Publicity, the Department of Supervision, and the Supreme Court of Taiwan. These departments are directly subordinate to the Governor, who is responsible for appointing the candidates. ”

The structure of Wang Guorui's Governor's Mansion is actually imitating the structure of the party committee of later generations. First of all, he gathered the military power, personnel power, propaganda power, supervision power, and judicial power under the management of the governor's palace, which was tantamount to controlling almost all the heavy powers, so as to ensure that all the heavy rights were in the hands of the governor. And those Executive Yuan are only attached to the Governor's Palace, and at most they are just a "super director". This can ensure that the governor's palace, that is, after becoming emperor in the future, will not change too much. And as long as you have a good grasp of the macro situation, you will not be afraid of what the Executive Yuan under its command can do.

As for the so-called "International Liaison Office", it is because Taiwan is still nominally within the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and is not an independent country, so it has no corresponding diplomatic rights. Therefore, a "Liaison Office for Friendship with Foreign Countries" has been set up to cover up and steal bells to deceive oneself and others. However, now many countries in the world, especially Britain, also regard Taiwan as a region that coexists on an equal footing with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so naturally they will not care about this nominal matter, and the foreign devils pay more attention to actual interests than the so-called name.

And when those future civil officials heard this, they also knew that Wang Guorui had deprived him of all his main rights, and the president of the Executive Yuan only had the right to be responsible for implementation. However, this one also makes many people tempted, after all, with the right to execute, there is still a lot of flexibility. Because Wang Guorui also promised that as long as the Executive Yuan did not make a big mistake, he could not remove the Executive Yuan at will, which was still very secure. Compared with those Manchu military ministers and cabinet ministers who were replaced like a marquee, this is obviously more secure. Although this guarantee is only Wang Guorui's verbal promise, it is better than the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which did not even have a verbal promise. As for the next, it is necessary to slowly establish the corresponding rules from the system.

Next, the Executive Yuan will set up a president and several vice presidents. The General Office of the Executive Yuan is responsible for assisting the President of the Executive Yuan. The Executive Yuan also has departments and bureaus of agriculture, industry and commerce, education, civil affairs, finance, construction, transportation, etc., and the heads of these departments and bureaus are nominated by the president of the Executive Yuan and then submitted to the Governor for examination. However, in principle, the Governor will not veto a candidate, unless there is a serious record of bad deeds or a history of dereliction of duty, otherwise the Governor will not lightly veto a candidate for a subordinate department. ”

Hearing Wang Guorui's assurance, this made many people a little moved, after all, if he can become the executive president, it is equivalent to being able to take a group of team members to take office, so the power is still very considerable. Although there are no rights such as personnel rights, judicial powers, supervision powers, etc., at least they can guarantee many important rights. These lower-level executive powers have also been handed over to the Executive Yuan, so that they can feel at ease and there will be no problems. In this way, there is a relatively stable administrative body, which can also allow the country's policies to be implemented well, so that the head of the executive will not be replaced like a marquee. Of course, Wang Guorui knew that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen changed dozens of prime ministers in a row, how could the state administration be well implemented in this case? Therefore, Wang Guorui also set up a rule, even if the executive president cannot be 100% in line with his own ideas, but he cannot be replaced casually, which is a very bad example for his descendants, which will be very dangerous.

"Next, I appoint Ouyang Xuan as the premier, and then he will be responsible for the formation of the Executive Yuan, which will serve for a term of five years." Wang Guorui said.

This Ouyang Xuan's name looks like a girl, but she is a pure man. He used to be the magistrate of Hengchun County, Taiwan, and now he stayed in Taiwan to take up his post and did not return to the mainland. According to Wang Guorui's observation, he is the official in Taiwan with the highest anti-Japanese enthusiasm, and he usually has no bad deeds, and he died in the process of Taiwan's resistance against Japan in the original history, and he is a patriotic person, so Wang Guorui appointed him as the premier of the Executive Yuan, responsible for the formation of the Executive Yuan.
