Tianjin Customs Yamen, late at night.

"Bang Bang!"

The sound of beating outside the house alarmed Jia Liu, who was reviewing the documents, and looked up at the glass-inlaid window, and found that it was already dark, so he asked what time the bolt that was napping next to him was.

"Young master, it's the third watch."

Zhuzhu rubbed Mihu's eyes, took out the pocket watch given to him by the young master and looked at it, saying that it was half past eleven.

"Is it so late?"

Jia Liu's brows furrowed, sighed lightly, took off his reading glasses and casually took a few big sips of the thermos cup of bubbled ginseng wolfberry "Gu Du Gu Du", and he still felt that he was not in a good state, so he walked to the washbasin and wiped his face with cold water, then walked back to the desk and put on reading glasses, and continued to review the mountains of official documents on the desk.

These official documents were all forwarded from Beijing in the past two days, and although the cabinet gave advice on how to deal with them, as the emperor, Jia Liu still read the book.

When you see that the cabinet's handling of the opinion is not your own opinion, you should also write your opinion on a blank piece of paper with a red pen and paste it, so that the cabinet will reconsider after receiving the return and give a new opinion on the handling before submitting it to His Majesty the Emperor.

If the emperor has no opinion, he will implement it by forwarding it to the relevant department, and if he has an opinion, he will call it back.

Sounds like a bit of a.

However, Jia Liu set a rule, that is, he, the emperor, only had the power to dismiss the opinions of the cabinet three times.

If you want to refute it for the fourth time, you must organize a council and a vote of the princes and ministers to decide whether to do it according to the will of the cabinet or the emperor.

If the outcome of the Council of Ministers is in favor of the Cabinet, then the Emperor must obey unconditionally.

If the outcome of the Council of Ministers is in favor of the Emperor, the Cabinet obeys unconditionally.

If the cabinet refused to obey, the emperor exercised the power to dissolve the cabinet and reappoint new members.

If the emperor refused to obey, the Council of Ministers, as the highest organ of power in the Qing Dynasty, had the power to impeach the emperor.

If necessary, the emperor can be respectfully invited to go into the wilderness.

This system was personally convened by Jia Liu to the five elders of the cabinet, and then explained to them very seriously word by word.

At that time, the five elders were stunned, and then collectively picked up the tea bowl and clinked glasses, unanimously agreed to this plan, and planned to announce this system to the whole country in the form of a holy decree to ensure that the six emperors did not regret it.

How could Jia Liu regret it, his purpose in doing this emperor is to treat the emperor as a position and a job, not a son of heaven who says anything.

Even if it would make his children and grandchildren mascots, he had to.

Because, China does not need an emperor.

Europe has entered the initial stage of the industrial revolution, humanistic ideas are exploding, China will not be able to avoid revolution in the future, if you want the fire of revolution to prevent his six emperors from cutting off their children and grandchildren, then while he is still young, do everything that should be done.

Just as his next step is to do an unprecedented earth-shattering event - to declare himself the king of the fallen country, and at the same time to declare himself the king of the founding country.

Pretty, right?

Man is him, ghosts are him, and God is him.

Progress is him, reaction is also him, and the melon-eating masses are also him.

I'm such a man!

Just the right description.

Zhu Zhu yawned, and couldn't help but persuade: "Young master, it's not early, you better go to bed early, and you have to meet with foreign representatives tomorrow." ”

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep,"

Jia Liu looked up at the bolt pillar that he had brought with him, and said affectionately: "It doesn't matter if I, the emperor, sleep less, as long as the people of this world can sleep in peace." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became extremely bright.

In the shot, Jia Liu, who is sitting at the desk, exudes a great aura all over his body.

Sacred as Guevara.

"Great, great, Your Majesty, you are really a good emperor who can't be bumped into in eight lifetimes!"

Lao Ah placed a large glass mirror on the left side of His Majesty's desk and asked others to be placed from a scientific angle.

Not to mention, the light in the room is obviously much brighter than just now.

"Lao, you came just in time, what is your opinion on the candidate for the supervisor of Tianjin Customs?"

Jia Liu put down the official document that was being instructed and motioned for Lao A to sit down and speak.

In terms of establishment, the Tianjin Customs Yamen and the Guangdong Customs Yamen in Guangdong are both tax agencies directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households.

According to the regulations of the customs yamen formulated during the Kangxi period, the customs yamen is not only responsible for the management of foreign trade in the locality, but also in the management of the coastal waterway trade in the locality.

In other words, the Tianjin Customs Yamen not only levied taxes on merchant ships from Western countries coming to China, but also on the goods transported to Tianjin Port by their own countries through the canal.

It is a two-way charge, and both imports and exports have to pay taxes to the imperial court.

Jia Liu personally checked the functional regulations of Tianjin Customs and found that it was no different from the customs of later generations, that is, it was responsible for customs declaration and registration, filling in tax forms, collecting taxes, and also responsible for inspecting import and export ships and goods.

Jia Liu didn't know what the Guangdong Customs Yamen in Guangdong looked like, but he paid attention to the whole process from the establishment of the project to the completion of the Tianjin Customs Yamen.

Even the drawings of the Customs Yamen Building and its ancillary facilities were drawn by him in his busy schedule.

It is equivalent to a large government compound.

There are two floors, covering an area of less than ten acres.

One main building, two annex buildings, and the other is a dormitory for customs staff to eat, live and rest.

It looks like a tube building.

If it weren't for the fact that the building materials and construction level of this era were not enough for Jia Liu to play freely, he would have built an empire building by the Haihe River, giving a little Jia style shock to Western countries.

The head of the customs said that "Qin ordered the supervision of the trade and taxation department of Tianjin coastal and other places", but there was a dispute between the cabinet and the six emperors over whether the Tianjin customs supervisor was selected by the household department or by the internal affairs government.

In the past, customs inspectors were appointed directly by the emperor for a term of only one year. Before the expiration of one year, the prelude asks the hand-picked messenger to be replaced. If it is simplified, it will be retained.

Therefore, since the establishment of the customs yamen in the Kangxi period, the customs supervision of each treaty port was designated by the emperor from the internal affairs office, and was usually served by personnel from departments and bureaus such as Waiwai and Langzhong.

Jia Liu wanted to follow the old example, and he would appoint the person to supervise the Tianjin Customs.

But it was strongly resisted by the cabinet.

The reason is that this customs superintendent is too fat.

Although it is only a three-product setting, the money from its hands every year is tens of millions of taels!

Jia Liu finally synthesized it.

Set up a chief and deputy superintendent in the yamen of Tianjin Customs.

The day-to-day operations are the responsibility of the Superintendent, but the financial aspects are the responsibility of the Deputy Superintendent.

However, the cabinet and Jia Liu disagreed on who should be the chief supervisor and who would be the deputy overseer.

The cabinet is proposed to be supervised by the former military machine Zhang Jing, and the current secretary of the fourth product, Qian Shougu, because this person is not only talented, but also good at financial management.

A few years ago, Qianlong mobilized a large army to conquer Jinchuan, and Qian Shougu has been coordinating the work of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household and the work of money and grain in relevant provinces, and he is a good candidate.

Jia Liu wanted Zhu Dawen, the prefect of Tianjin, who was going to Macao to attract investment for him, to be the superintendent of Tianjin Customs. Second, it also means reward.

As a result, the cabinet has a hard top, so that now the Tianjin Customs Yamen has been established, and the staff have been selected, but the first and second leaders are empty.

Lao A thought about it here, and suggested that the emperor might as well let Qian Shougu serve as the chief supervisor and let Zhu Dawen serve as the deputy superintendent.

"It's fine."

Jia Liu didn't expect the candidate for the chief and deputy director of the customs to be in a stalemate with the cabinet, so he agreed to Lao A's proposal, and was about to hand over the bolt to the cabinet for implementation, but he noticed that Lao A was holding an official document in his hand and was busy asking what was the matter.

"Your Majesty, I just received the power supply of the Eight Banners outside the Guanxi!"

Lao Ah will present the electricity.

"Kanwai figured it out? Are they going to talk to me in Beijing, or are I going to send someone to Shengjing to talk to them? ”

Jia Liu turned on the emergency electricity and swept it, but his face became solemn.

The telegram of the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai is not to support him, the six emperors, but to demand the restoration of the titles of relatives and county kings who were removed from the clan in the previous time, and return the confiscated property to the kings, otherwise, the generals of the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai will enter the Shanhaiguan to replace the Tianxingdao and restore the ancestral system.

In addition to General Sheng Jing Hongxiang, Jilin General Fu Chun, and Heilongjiang General Fu Yu, there were also 68 Manchurian and Mongolian dignitaries at or above the level of the foreign deputy capital on the list.

"I'm not Chongzhen, let alone Li Zicheng, the Eight Banners outside the Guan, how dare I be this jumping clown!"

Jia Liu casually threw the telegram on the table, "Tell the cabinet that I will go back to my hometown next month to worship my ancestors." ”
