It was more than ten days after that

The latest news from London is that former Prime Minister William Yurt Gladstone, who has been appointed in a critical position, has finally set up the framework for an emergency cabinet, which is the product of a compromise, the most vivid example of which is the fact that many important cabinet positions have been occupied, including the post of colonial minister.

The new Colonial Secretary was the leader of a small party from Glasgow, a political faction called the Northern Union of England, which was a conservative local party that bordered the nearby Duchy of Edinburgh and represented the interests of workers and capitalists in the emerging cities.

The Northern Constituency of England is the weak point of the Liberal Party, and the Northern Union of England can make up for this shortcoming, and will be able to win more support in the formal elections that will follow, which will be crucial for the partisan interest.

Li Fushou did not have time to analyze these messy things, and after carefully reading the latest report of the Political Analysis Office under the Secretariat, he adopted their suggestions with a stroke of his pen; Actively operate and strive for the best results.

These specific matters must fall on the diplomatic representative Tang Shaoyi, and it depends on his diplomatic skills to what extent he can do it. And, of course, there's the £50,000 sugar-coated shell.

Generally speaking, the formal election will be held in 3~8 months, not more than a year, so it is not worth spending too much energy to tackle key problems and lobby, and the cost-effectiveness ratio is too low.

If it weren't for the fact that the advance team of the African Expeditionary Force had already landed in Mozambique and urgently needed the tacit support of the colonial department, Li Fushou would not have been willing to spend 5,000 pounds.

It's not early, it's almost noon.

Li Fushou stood up and strode out, and Fu Peng, the captain of the guard on duty in the morning, hurriedly stepped forward and asked; "Master, which yard are you going to?"

"Then don't go, just walk around the front."

"Got it."

Fu Peng followed closely behind with a few personal guards, as well as Li Sixian, the secretary on duty this morning, and others, who followed closely behind.

Lingxiao Pavilion was built on the top of the mountain, Li Fushou walked down the steps, and the guards on duty on both sides of the road saluted solemnly, he bowed slightly to show that he returned the salute, and quickly followed the footsteps of the road to the halfway up the mountain.

Two rows of spacious two-storey stone buildings are newly built here, each floor is 6 meters high, it is a traditional Chinese cornice structure, carved railings and painted buildings, and the momentum is extraordinary.

This is the secretariat's political office, which can be used by nearly 300 people at the same time, and more than a dozen institutions under the jurisdiction of the secretariat are all concentrated here, which is the central nervous system of the entire Red Fort decision-making.

Each important government department has a corresponding bridging group in the secretariat, and its management scope is far beyond the state of Queensland, including Western Australia, South Australia, Shangri-La, Borneo, Sulawesi, and Somalia in the Horn of Africa.

The secretariat has no decision-making power, nor can it interfere in local governance, but it has the power of supervision and evaluation after the fact, which has formed a great constraint on local officials, and it is a system specially set up by Li Fushou in order to strengthen the centralization of power, and it has worked well.

Powers must be checked, and it is not enough to rely on an audit office, but must be checked in legal, administrative, mechanical, supervisory review and anti-corruption aspects, which is also one of the responsibilities of the Secretariat.

Today's Secretariat is a huge organization of more than 1,000 people, and no more than 300 people can work in the Red Fort, and most of the others are conducting research in various places, tracking and evaluating on the spot, making inspections, and doing some trivial daily work.

The research teams and inspection teams sent by these secretariats only watch with their eyes and listen attentively, but they do not express any opinions, do not make any decisions, do not interfere with local governance, and only exist as scrutinists.

Li Fushou's arrival caused a commotion in the government room, Fan Zhongzhai, Tian Shan and other secretariat bigwigs walked down quickly from the large office on the second floor, and went out of the door together, looked at Li Sixian who was behind him with reproachful eyes, and then asked respectfully; "Lord Yuan Ding is here, we are not welcome, guilty of sin!"

"It's nothing, I'm just going to take a walk and take a look, and everyone can do their own thing."

"Obey the master's orders, Zhong Zhai is not talented, please guide Lord Yuanding." Of course, Fan Zhongzhai didn't let him squeeze around Li Fushou, and scanned the heads poking out of the windows with a majestic gaze.

In the blink of an eye, the heads disappeared in an instant.

"Hmm."

Li Fushou responded lightly and took the lead in stepping into the office building.

At this time, everything in the political office was restored to calm, and every secretary was diligently doing the work at hand, and after Li Fushou and his entourage came closer, he immediately stood up, his hands naturally drooped and his head bowed, ready for inquiry.

Walking along the way, sometimes you have to stop and ask a few words.

Li Fushou was very satisfied with the well-organized deployment of the secretariat, Fan Zhongzhai and Tian Shan were very good helpers, and it could be seen that the adjustment of his subordinates was very effective, and the name of the secretariat, the "base camp for personnel training," was not covered, and it was indeed very good.

"Has the Jinshui River Basin Development Plan Docking Team summarized the relevant pre-colonization situation?"

"Report master, has summarized the report is being formed, the Jinshui River Basin development plan was officially launched at the beginning of the year, on this major project, personnel, materials and funds are all in place according to the time node, Nangong Yunfei commander-in-chief personally sits on the front line, and the project is progressing in an orderly manner."

"Well, how is the Koi Mining Bureau production?"

Since the beginning of the year, the Koi Mining Bureau has imported 16 high-horsepower steam engines and more than 200 sets of diesel machinery, all of which have been put into mine production, and the output of gold, silver and copper mines has increased by 17% over the same period last year, and the output of iron ore has increased by 23%, showing a gratifying growth situation. Due to the successive equipping of more than 870 Bison 350 heavy-duty tractors, the total number of tractor transportation teams has reached 1,375 sets, which has greatly alleviated the bottleneck of transportation and promoted the operating rate of Longmen Iron and Steel Plant to increase from the original 26% to 57%, showing good social benefits. ”

"Well, this Li Siyuan is still quite capable." Li Fushou nodded in appreciation, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head and asked; "Zhongzhai, Li Siyuan seems to have an application for a report on the establishment of a city, how did he deal with it later?"

"Master, upgrading the administrative level is a very serious matter, it needs to be considered from the economy, people's livelihood, social development, population and development prospects, and conduct a detailed assessment before we can give opinions, we have formed a special research team to rush to the Longmen Mining Bureau, and now we have not brought back specific research opinions......

"It is indeed necessary to be cautious, since you have rules, you must follow them, so that you can not make mistakes."

"The lesson of the master is that the secretariat has always been strict in rules and abides by its duties, and the Longmen Mining Bureau is a strict management area according to its own positioning, with a strategic position, in fact, it is not suitable to vigorously develop the people's livelihood economy, so we follow the policy of strict control."

"Li Siyuan is also a person who wants to do things, don't tie his hands and feet, I'm very interested in seeing what he can do?"

"Uh...... I see. ”

"Arrange the procedure as soon as possible, Li Siyuan has done a good job in Qingdao Town, and he is a good seedling." Li Fushou gave a casual order, attracting an envious look behind him.

This Li Siyuan has entered the sight of the earl, and his future is very bright.

"Yes, sir." Fan Zhongzhai respectfully agreed.

Now that the Earl has commanded, the approval process must enter the fast lane, and all rules must give way to the priority of the Secretariat's work.

This is not to say that if you don't follow the rules and procedures, there will be no less processes to follow, but it will be greatly accelerated, from the original small steps to jogging all the way to a wild run, and the green light along the way......

Inspected the circle

Li Fushou walked out of the office building in front of everyone, and the charming sun shone on his tall figure, which looked so outstanding and outstanding.

"The work of the Secretariat is very effective, I hope you will not slack off, make persistent efforts, do a good job in service decision-making, do a solid job, the development of Queensland needs to move forward step by step, and the Secretariat plays an indispensable and important role in it......

After Wen Yan gave some encouragement

Li Fushou asked about the things he was most worried about; "Did the summary report of the national economy come out last year?"

"Back to my lord, the report has basically taken shape, and I only need to add some necessary data, and it is expected that it will take another three days."

"I don't need to bring it all together, first bring the part of the report that has been finalized, and I will read it in the afternoon."

"Obey the order, sir, the report on population, immigration and some large backbone enterprises has been formed, and I will personally hand it over to you for review."

The report on the national economy for the whole year of 1885 was the most important task of the secretariat for more than a month, and more than 100 people were mobilized just to gather a huge amount of information, which was a huge workload.

The requirements are high, the tasks are tight, and the relevant personnel of the secretariat are working overtime and hard work as if they are winding up, and this comprehensive report has been initially formed.

Li Fushou is also looking forward to this, which is an important task that he has personally deployed.

It has been 11 years since the arrival of the Brisbane wharf, and this summary report of the national economy for the whole year of 1885 is a summary of Queensland's development over the years, a large inventory of the family's background, and a solid basis for scientific decision-making in the future.

From this point of view, the importance cannot be overemphasized.

Due to the limited conditions, the statistics of each year in the past are not comprehensive, and can only roughly reflect the development status of a certain field.

From now on

The annual economic report will be implemented as a long-term work of the secretariat, for which the secretariat has set up a special statistical affairs department, which is responsible for the summary and statistics of various social, military, financial and economic data, and promotes it as a regular work, and persists in it.

Looking at the countries of the world today, there is only one company that attaches so much importance to statistical work, and there is no other semicolon.
