- Plato (one of the greatest philosophers and thinkers of Western culture)

After consulting with Mary, it took Oscar a day to roughly set up the overall framework of the Augustusian family's new bureaucratic system; In order to adapt to the customs of the Romans, the departments of the Augustan family were also represented by courtyards.

According to Oscar's initial concept, the official system and government affairs of the Augustan family will include one of the six courts; They are: the Foreign Affairs Yuan, the Government Affairs Yuan, the Military Affairs Yuan, the Maritime Affairs Yuan, the Commerce Yuan, the Academic Affairs Yuan, and the General Staff.

Among them, the Foreign Affairs Yuan is a specialized body that implements the foreign policy of the Augustan family and is in charge of all the foreign affairs of the Augustan family; The Foreign Affairs Yuan implements the overall foreign policy and foreign policy of the Augustan family, safeguards the supreme interests of the Augustan family, and handles bilateral and multilateral foreign affairs on behalf of the Augustan family.

In addition to these basic functions, the Foreign Affairs Yuan will also be responsible for investigating and studying the situation around the Augustan family and the overall and strategic issues in foreign relations, studying and analyzing major issues in diplomatic work in the political, economic, cultural, and security fields, and making suggestions for the Augustan family in formulating diplomatic strategies, principles, and policies.

In addition, it is also necessary to coordinate with other departments and report to the Government Council and make suggestions on major issues such as foreign trade, economic cooperation, economic aid, culture, military aid, military trade, overseas Chinese affairs, education, science and technology, and foreign propaganda in accordance with the overall layout of foreign affairs.

The foreign etiquette and ceremonial affairs of the Augustan family, the protocol affairs of the important foreign affairs activities of the Augustan family, and other diplomatic affairs are also the specific work areas of the Foreign Affairs Yuan. In other words, this Foreign Affairs Yuan is basically the Ministry of Rites in ancient China.

It's just that, compared with the functions and powers of the Ministry of Rites in ancient China, the powers of the Foreign Affairs Yuan have been reduced; Even compared with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of later generations, the functions of the Foreign Affairs Yuan are relatively narrow, but it is enough to deal with the foreign affairs of the Augustus family.

As for the first prefect of the Foreign Affairs Yuan, it was naturally Nepos, the head of foreign affairs of the Augustus family, whom Oscar had promised at the beginning; In fact, both Nepos' bravery in the Balearic Islands war and Nepos' sophistication in welcoming the Carthaginian secret mission are enough to prove that he was competent as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Therefore, Oscar was relieved and bold to appoint Nepos as the foreign minister of the House of Augustus; In order to bring the names of the officials of this new system closer to the Roman custom, the official name of Nepos was the head of the House of Augustus.

The Government Council, this department was naturally responsible for all government affairs within the rule of the House of Augustus; Its supreme governor is none other than Vipsani, and as for the specific functions of this government council, it is divided into the following aspects.

First, it is necessary to formulate plans for the development of civil affairs and to draw up guidelines and policies, draft relevant laws and regulations, formulate rules and regulations for the conduct of officials, and organize implementation, supervision and inspection; It also undertakes the responsibility of registration, management and supervision of various social groups, aristocratic families, and wealthy merchant industries.

Second, it is necessary to draw up policies, standards, and methods for giving preferential treatment, draw up policies and plans for the resettlement of retired soldiers, wounded soldiers who have left service, and officers who have normally retired from the army, draw up methods for commending soldiers who have died in battle, organize and guide the work of military families, and undertake specific work related to the granting of land rewards and benefits to all military officers and men after they are knighted.

Third, it formulates disaster relief policies for all regions under the rule of the Augustan family, is responsible for organizing and coordinating disaster relief work, organizing the construction of a natural disaster relief and emergency response system, organizing verification and unified release of disaster information, managing and distributing disaster relief funds and materials of the Augustan family and supervising their use, organizing and guiding disaster relief donations, and undertaking the specific work of the Augustan family to prevent natural disasters.

Fourth, the development of administrative division management policies and administrative boundaries, geographical name management measures, responsible for the establishment, naming, change of counties and above administrative areas and the relocation of the capital of the review work; Organize and guide the survey and management of provincial-level administrative boundaries, and be responsible for the construction and development of important cities.

Fifth, the preliminary development plan, policies and standards for the Augustan family welfare undertaking should be formulated, and the measures for the management of private welfare institutions and the management of the Augustan family welfare institutions should be formulated; Organize the formulation of policies to promote philanthropy, organize and guide social donation work, and guide the protection of the rights and interests of special groups such as the elderly, orphans, and the disabled.

Sixth, formulate policies for marriage management, funeral management, and child adoption, be responsible for promoting the reform of marriage customs and funerals, and guide the management of marriage, funeral, adoption, and rescue service institutions; In conjunction with other departments and departments, the Augustan family shall formulate various career development plans, policies and professional norms in accordance with regulations, and promote the overall development and construction of the Augustan family.

Finally, and most crucially; That is, the Council must undertake the important task of promoting the internal province and national integration of the Augustan family; This is also the most important task that Oscar has given to Vipsani!

The rise of the House of Augustus was inevitably the use of the resources of all the provinces under the rule of the House of Augustus; Internal stability is the necessary and indispensable factor to promote the Augustan family to become strong.

That's why Oscar gave this responsibility to Vipsani; Oscar is confident that Vipsani will be able to handle these trivial matters. Even if Vepsani doesn't handle it well, Oscar has another candidate to help Vipsani.

the Military Affairs Yuan, which was the department that presided over the military work of the Augustan Army; Its basic function is to manage the construction of the armed forces of the Augustan family in a unified manner, such as the recruitment, establishment, equipment, training, research and development of weapons and equipment, as well as the rank and salary of the military personnel. However, the Military Affairs Yuan does not have actual military command of the army.

Only when security is consolidated can the forces concentrate their energies on formulating correct policies, mobilize all manpower and material resources for economic construction, and enable the people to live and work in peace and contentment.

Of course, these are just high-sounding statements; For the Augustus family, the Military Affairs Yuan is the guarantee to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Augustus family's legions, and it is also the strength foundation of the Augustus family's external expansion and hegemony!

all the land armies of the House of Augustus, including the two Guards Legions, seven regular legions, and three other special legions, set up by Oscar himself; These legions will be managed by the Military Council to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Augustan army.

Considering the establishment of the General Staff, the Augustan Army does need an upper-level military organization that coordinates all the legions, and cooperates with the General Staff to jointly build the elite army of the Augustan Family.

The existence of this military academy will be the primary force of the Augustan family to dominate the world, and it is also the first element for the Augustus family to ensure its own strength; And the Augustan family is the only one who can take on this important task.

Among the other generals, except for Quintus, who could be compared to Luquis in terms of seniority, the rest of the generals were not qualified to be compared to Luquis at all; Especially those generals from the Wolf Legion, who were once all subordinates of Luquis, how could they compete with Luquis?

Even Quintus, whose special status made it impossible for him to gain the support of the Augustan family; Oscar will deliberately support Quintus for the sake of the balance of power within his family, but he will definitely not let his guard down on such a major event.

For Oscar, whether it is Quintus from the Scipio family or Marcus from the Maxentius family; Their existence is only better conducive to the development and strength of the Augustan family.

It is impossible for Oscar and the Augustus family to truly regard these people as henchmen, but Luquis is different; He was the honored patriarch of the House of Augustus and the family tycoon who was loyal to the House of Augustus, so how could Oscar not trust him?

After all, among all the generals of the entire Augustan family, Oscar trusted the most were those who came from the Wolf Army; Whether it is Luquis, who is the commander of the family, or Licinius, who is the commander of the Guards Cavalry Legion, they are the generals of the Wolf Legion.

Even Luculus, who was later promoted to the Guards Infantry Legion, was a general of the Wolf Legion of the Augustus family; This is the key to Oscar's decision to promote him, as for the so-called ability problem, that is just one of the influencing factors.

From ancient times to the present, no ruler would use his courtiers because of his ability; In the eyes of rulers, loyalty is always an important quality over ability, and it is also the key to determining whether a courtier can be reused!

The current Augustan family is far from reaching the point of peace in the four seas; Therefore, the existence of the Military Affairs Yuan does not yet have the ability to plan and override the legion for the Augustus family.

Even Luquis, the so-called supreme military chief, could not really sit in the military court of Syracuse and command the legions of the Augustus family; He also had to go to the Iberian Peninsula to take command of the army, which was the helplessness of the Augustus family.

However, Oscar still firmly believes that the Augustan family will eventually rise in the western Mediterranean and become the existence that stands on top of the world; The military affairs of the Augustan family, sooner or later, will become the same existence as the ancient Chinese military department, which is the highest pursuit of Oscar!

Don't think that the military department in ancient China was very wasteful, it was just a misunderstanding of later generations; The existence of the military department still played a decisive role in the military of the ancient Chinese dynasty. What's more, have you ever seen the military department secretary who walked on the battlefield in person? (To be continued.) )
