Chapter 918: The Cake of Power (Part II)
The vast territory of the current Eastern Star Sea. Most of them are still under military control, so there are no problems for the time being, but this is not a long-term solution. Of course, it is only right that local administrative affairs must be managed by the civilian team.
So far, even with the addition of those officials of the former regime who have surrendered to the Empire, only one-third of the newly accepted provinces and the many star fields under their jurisdiction have established the appointment of local officials at all levels, and have obtained the approval of His Majesty the Emperor; Another third of the candidates have already been listed, but they have not yet been fully vetted, so they cannot be counted.
As for the remaining third, there is no suitable person available at all, and Duke Song Guangyu, who is in charge of personnel arrangements, will be so difficult.
Of course, for a regime that aspires to unify the world of the Star Ocean and has been working towards this great goal, this issue should be fully considered and prepared long before the Empire's war machine is launched. Now there is such a headache situation, it can only be that something is wrong.
For this, the ministers are naturally well aware. The rebellion that took place in the imperial capital during the last time His Majesty the Emperor was trapped, and the bloody purges that followed, were the main reasons for the current situation.
In that unprecedented purge, half of the officials and nobles of the entire Starlight Empire were imprisoned and executed, and many of their relatives and friends were implicated! And afterwards, in order to fill the large number of vacant positions left by these traitors, the top of the empire took a lot of effort to not paralyze the political system!
Now that the Imperial Government has suddenly acquired such a large territory, it is simply impossible to solve this problem in a short period of time!
At least for two years, the empire simply won't be able to come up with so many suitable talents to effectively control and manage the newly laid territory! Not to mention, the Empire's army is still fighting outside, and it won't be long before more star fields will be planted with the Empire's flag, and the situation at that time will undoubtedly be even more embarrassing!
There is no land but there are not enough people to manage it, such a strange story is rare in the thousands of years of history of the human world.
In the past, the administrative level division of the major empires of the human world was basically based on the administrative planet. There are three to five major levels. Today's Starlight Empire is mainly divided into three levels: planets, star fields, and provinces, and of course, there are several small division standards under the planet.
With the current situation of the interstellar age, there are tens of millions to hundreds of millions of people on each standard administrative planet, together with many satellites, spaceports, space industrial bases, resource planets, wormholes, star gates, waterways, etc. near this administrative planet, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the planetary government.
Such an important position, of course, cannot be appointed at will! In addition, the candidates for charge of the judicial, financial, personnel, resource development, internal affairs construction, and other important departments under its jurisdiction should not be treated hastily!
As for the higher-level star domain governors, depending on the size of the star field under their jurisdiction, they have several to dozens of administrative planets at all levels, as well as all the independent resource planets in the star field, all kinds of meteorite belts, some animal and plant territories growing in the void, and the military regions to which the star field belongs, all of which must be controlled by the governor!
Further up is the governor of the province, who directly governs as few as ten or as many as thirty star fields, and has power and resources that are almost equivalent to the lord of a medium kingdom! It is the veritable foundation of the imperial regime and the existence of the power system that cannot be ignored!
Such a fat position is something that a normal person wants, but whether or not he can win it depends on the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor!
And after the last purge, the emperor's prestige has risen to an unprecedented peak, and those surviving family giants, although they are all enthusiastic about this big cake, they no longer dare to make any outrageous moves, and can only mediate as much as possible within the scope of the rules, in order to earn a few places for the clansmen.
Standing in Yun Haoyu's position, of course, he would not hand over all these positions to the aristocratic and wealthy families, so the question of this candidate has become an almost unsolvable problem.
Everyone discussed for a long time without any result, and finally Zhong Xuanying had no choice but to say: "Since it is difficult for Zhuqing to decide, then fold this matter and send it to the southern Xinghai camp, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to make an idea!" ”
The ministers naturally had no objections, but at the end of the court meeting, Crassus suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, the ministers have a plan to solve this problem of the empire, I wonder if you are willing to adopt it?" ”
Zhong Xuanying said with some surprise: "Oh, what way?" Tell me about it? ”
"It's very simple, it is to select suitable administrative personnel for the private sector in the form of open recruitment!" The Imperial Prime Minister replied, "The Imperial Empire has a population of tens of trillions, and there is no shortage of talented people among them, if the Imperial Government can give them a chance, it will not only solve the problems we are facing, but also have a good effect of rallying the hearts of the people. ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace suddenly changed their faces, and many people looked at the prime minister with a slight dissatisfaction.
Permir. Augustine looked at him with complicated eyes, sighed slightly in his heart, pursed his lips and did not make a sound.
Crassus's proposal was indeed a solution, and it was expected to yield good results, but it was not good news for the nobles present.
It is true that they do not dare to fight for this cake unscrupulously, but no one will give up easily until the last resort, as long as possible, they always want to fight for their family.
As long as the current stalemate lasts for a while, His Majesty the Emperor, who has no one to use, will eventually have to rely on them, the nobles, and offer to allocate these important vacant positions to them.
But if Crassus's proposal is approved by the imperial concubine and even Yun Haoyu himself, it means that this cake will all belong to those muddy legs of the people, and they will get some leftovers at most! How can they accept such an outcome?
Yan Longji couldn't help but say:
"Your Highness, this matter is too important, and the minister thinks it's better to be cautious! The appointment of governors at all levels is related to the long-term stability of the eastern and southern territories of the empire, and it should be filled by people with sufficient administrative experience. ”
Paul glanced at the imperial concubine's expression and said calmly: "The minister thinks that such a major matter can be submitted to the Imperial House of Commons for deliberation, and after the results are demonstrated, it will be handed over to His Majesty the Emperor to decide. ”
"Yes, we should think about it in the long run......" everyone gossiped and echoed one after another.
Zhong Chenying's heart is like a mirror, how can she not know what these big people think? It's just that they all oppose it on other grounds, and no one has dared to directly propose that the children of the nobles of the family should hold these important positions.
Since they didn't pierce the layer of window paper, the imperial concubine didn't break it, but just asked, "Do all the ministers think this way?" ”
Su Shangqing said calmly: "Your Highness, the minister feels that the Prime Minister's proposal is very fair, and there is nothing wrong with implementing it accordingly!" After all, now that the Eastern Star Sea has been calmed, this major event can't be delayed for too long no matter what, and we can't afford to think of another solution, so it's better to do it like this. ”
Gurungs' answer was very simple: "The minister agrees with the opinion of His Excellency the Prime Minister!" ”
Jin Yue looked at the old nobles with unhappy faces, pouted his lips disappreciatively, and was about to speak, but Bernard next to him quietly pulled him and stopped his movements.
Zhong Xuanying's gaze drifted to Yun Tianque, who had been silent, and Wen Yan asked, "Regarding this matter, Prince Yun doesn't know what to say?" ”
The speaker of the House of Nobles stood up and saluted and said, "Your Highness, the old minister thinks that the Prime Minister's proposal is very reasonable, but the opinions of the ministers cannot be ignored, so this matter should be left to His Majesty the Emperor to decide!" ”
"Don't offend either side, if you say it, you don't say it, this cunning old fox ......" Jin Yue secretly despised in his heart.
Zhong Xuanying nodded helplessly, announcing the end of the court meeting, and two hours later, Feng Lanxi, who was hundreds of thousands of light years away, received an urgent performance from the imperial capital.
……
"It's all done, it's time to go back!"
In the void, Yun Haoyu looked at the Yuan Gu Divine Pattern suspended above his head, and said to the two women beside him.
Yun Ruoxuan said with a smile: "This harvest is really not small, after going back, improve well, and then collect the rest of the things together, there will be hope for dealing with those starry sky demons!" ”
The boundless Magic Quadrant matrix in front of him was rapidly shrinking, and then merged into the golden pillar of light projected by the Ancient Origin God Pattern.
Move this lethal base back in its entirety, and then organize a large number of experts and scholars to continue the topics that the Protoss civilization failed to complete back then, I think there will be a good discovery!
This divine pattern represents the inheritance of the lord of the Origin Ancient Divine Race, and is the most important one among the three primordial divine patterns of the Origin Civilization, and there are also divine patterns representing the Origin Ancient God of War and the Origin Ancient High Priest are missing. If you can collect them all, you will be able to use them all kinds of incredible things!
Yun Haoyu already had a plan for this, if the expectations were not bad, those two divine patterns should be in the territory of the Bojiang Empire, in the third Origin Ancient Inheritance Base, and when the Imperial Legion goes out to the Bojiang Empire in the future, this matter can be solved by the way!
Returning to the Imperial Legion station, less than two days had passed, and he had first gone to see Luo Qiyue, and played with the little princess Yun Zhixia for a while, and then went to Feng Lanxi's dormitory.
"Isn't it? How long has it been since I was out! Why is there so much backlog? "As soon as he saw the mountains of electronic documents on the bookcase and in his brain, he had a headache.
Feng Lanxi said with a smile: "This is just sent by the imperial capital, and the concubines have already seen some of it, and there are not many of them that need to be reviewed by His Majesty personally, and it won't take much time!" ”
