Chapter 1214: Monster Research Institute
Taking advantage of the rare truce, Ouyang Shuo sat in the capital and made a partial adjustment to the structure of the imperial court according to the needs of the development of the dynasty. The establishment of the Great Xia Bank is only the first step in the restructuring of the institution.
On October 10, the Daxia Transportation Department and the Asset Management Department were established one after another.
Neither of the two agencies is part of the four compounds, but is placed alongside the Industrial Department and is vertically managed by the Cabinet. This arrangement is not only out of practical needs, but also a balance of rights for the four courtyards.
The four courtyards are in charge of the imperial court, and once they are too bloated, they may form a constraint on the cabinet, and if they are more serious, they may even lead to unsmooth government decrees.
It is based on this consideration that the two major offices are not included in the jurisdiction of the four courts.
The Department of Transportation consists of the Department of Roads and Bridges, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Maritime Transport and the Department of Railways, which are in charge of transportation facilities like the Dynasty, and are responsible for formulating and organizing the implementation of plans, policies and standards for roads and bridges, railways, rivers and shipping, undertaking planning and coordination work involving the integrated transportation system, and promoting the interconnection of various modes of transportation.
The most eye-catching is the Railway Division.
With the acceleration of the industrialization of the dynasty, the construction of the railway was officially put on the agenda, and the first phase of the plan was to build a Fengshan line from Fengcheng in the north to Shanhai City in the south.
The Fengshan Line traverses the five major provinces of Hedong, Central Plains, Jingchu, Xiangnan and Southern Sichuan, opening up the north-south freight channel of the dynasty and strengthening the imperial court's control over the provinces.
Although Jingchu Province is still under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, if you want to build such a railway across the north and south, it is also a huge project for the current Great Xia, and the difficulty is no less than the construction of the Great Wall.
The imperial court planned to open the whole line to traffic in three years.
It is precisely because of the Mafengshan Line railway project that the imperial court has to set up a separate railway department.
The Asset Management Agency, as the name suggests, is responsible for centralized and unified management, and the group enterprises established by the dynasty. Previously, this responsibility was entrusted to the Industrial and Development Planning Agency under the Ministry of Finance.
This time it was brought out separately, not to reduce the power of the Finance Yuan, but with the rapid expansion of the scale of the group, it is necessary to set up a special and professional organization for unified management.
[Shushan Iron and Steel Group], [Huaxia Textile Group], [Huaxia Construction Engineering Group], [Canglong Military Industry Group] and [Shanying Bicycle Factory] and other enterprises are included in the jurisdiction of asset management.
Only [Huaxia Shipping Group] is under the jurisdiction of the Transportation Department.
Taking the opportunity of the establishment of the Asset Management Agency, the imperial court will also restructure the Chamber of Commerce, guide the Chamber of Commerce to carry out corporate reform, set up an industry access mechanism, and review business qualifications.
This work is organized and implemented by the Commercial Administration under the Finance Yuan.
According to the statistics of the Department of Commerce, there are no less than 5,000 large and small chambers of commerce registered in Daxia.
Among them, the chamber of commerce giants, such as [Bai's Trading Company], [Cui's Chamber of Commerce], [Song's Chamber of Commerce] and [Silk Silk Trading Company], have a business scope covering almost all walks of life.
As long as it is not prohibited by the imperial court, these super chambers of commerce are operated.
The power of the Chamber of Commerce has become a giant beast lurking beneath the surface of the sea, and for the dynasty, this is a potential risk, which may come to the surface at any time and affect the policies of the imperial court.
This had to make Ouyang Shuo vigilant.
As industrialization intensifies, the power of capital will only grow stronger and more unscrupulous.
What Ouyang Shuo could do, or what the Great Xia Imperial Court could do, was not to use violence to interfere, it would only destroy the business environment that had been established with great difficulty, and make both sides lose.
The real solution to the root cause is to standardize and restrain the monster through policy guidance when it has not yet surfaced to achieve a win-win situation.
The restructuring of the company system is the first weapon launched by the imperial court.
Through the restructuring of the company system and the establishment of an industrial and commercial registration system, the operation of the chamber of commerce has become more transparent and easier to supervise.
The establishment of an enterprise business qualification review system can eliminate defective products and improve the industry access threshold, which is also conducive to supervision, so as not to let the chamber of commerce swarm and do what to make money.
In addition, it is also conducive to raising taxes and avoiding tax evasion by chambers of commerce to the greatest extent.
All this made Ouyang Shuo firmly determined to make great efforts to promote this matter by the Department of Commerce, and to complete the relevant restructuring and review work before Gaia seven years ago.
If any chamber of commerce dares to disobey the yang, Ouyang Shuo will be blamed for being ruthless.
In the short term, this will indeed discourage the enthusiasm of the chamber of commerce and weaken the strength of some chambers of commerce, but in the long run, it will only further standardize the business environment in Daxia and lay the groundwork for the next business boom.
Economic construction has become the top priority of territorial construction.
…………
On the 11th, Ouyang Shuo came to the yamen of the Privy Council to attend an unveiling ceremony.
From now on, the Privy Council will set up a "Monster Research Institute", which will be responsible for studying monster combat techniques, developing targeted weapons and equipment, and studying how to make monster meat into high-grade military rations.
Entering October, the beast plague in various places has not abated at all, and it is getting worse, according to the Privy Council, the camp set up near the monster's lair, the casualties are gradually increasing.
This had to arouse Ouyang Shuo's attention.
Gaia really didn't play this time, the beast tide has become a big disaster in the territory, and it is even more ferocious than the rogues and bandits in the wilderness period, and it can't be overstated.
It's only the first year that the beast tide has hit, will there be new changes next year?
Ouyang Shuo had no way of knowing, only to strengthen precautions.
It was under such circumstances that Ouyang Shuo decided to set up a "Monster Research Institute" to turn passive into active. Because the monster is highly realistic, the research results are also helpful to Planet Hope.
…………
October 12, Shanhai City.
In the imperial study, Ouyang Shuo was summoning Ouyang Xiu, director of science, education, culture and health, to discuss the upcoming education reform. This is also the one that Ouyang Shuo attaches the most importance to among all the reforms, which is related to the foundation of the dynasty.
The reform of education and the restructuring of the Qianzhuang and the restructuring of the chamber of commerce are all aimed at speeding up the process of modernization.
With the continuous expansion of the territory of the dynasty, only the [Southwest University Hall] and the [Army Lecture and Martial Arts Hall], which are two universities of literature and martial arts, can no longer support the demand for the cultivation of high-level talents.
Restructuring is imperative.
Ouyang Shuo decided to change the name of [Southwest University Hall] to [Jingshi University], [Army Lecture Hall] to [Army University], and [Naval Academy] to [Navy University].
In addition to the name change, [Jingshi University] and [Army University] will also be moved from Wangcheng to another location, and a larger and larger university campus will be built to meet the needs of expanding the scale of the school.
Wangcheng seems too restrained and not suitable for the free and open academic atmosphere of the university.
In addition, Ouyang Shuo also decided to build another [Imperial Capital Normal University] in addition to the three universities, which is specially used to train teachers and transfuse blood for education reform.
In the future, other professional universities will be established one after another, such as [Imperial Capital Art Institute].
In the longer term, local universities will be set up in some local central cities, such as Luoyang, Quanzhou, Chengdu and other places, to further improve the education system at an appropriate time in the future.
In this way, the dynasty's thirst for talents can be satisfied.
Just as Ouyang Shuo was discussing the education plan with Ouyang Xiu, a guard suddenly ran in, "Your Majesty, Shanhaiwei is stationed at the Mongolian Empire's intelligence station, and a red urgent letter has been sent. ”
Ouyang Shuo was shocked in his heart, knowing that something big must have happened.
