After eating, Jia Liu returned to his temporary office in his villager's house to continue working. The villagers are the aborigines of Manchuria with blue flags who have lived in the ant tun for a hundred years, and now there are some women, old people and children in the tunzi, and the young and middle-aged people are called Jinzhou deputy capital to defend the city.

About 800 meters to the east of the temporary office site is the banner exhibition, which is tightly guarded, and the royal camp with three layers in the open and dark sentry and three layers outside the out.

However, just as Jia Liu basically does not take special trains, he never lives in the big tent of the imperial camp. No matter where they go, they like to find a villager's yard to settle down, saying that it is so convenient to observe the people's feelings and understand the people's suffering.

He also did not like to wear the emperor's dragon robe except for necessary occasions, because he felt that wearing the dragon robe would easily separate himself from the masses, and it would also cause insurmountable class and invisibly increase the barrier of communication between him and his subjects.

Therefore, after leaving the customs, it is basically a big cotton jacket and a dog skin hat. It's very simple, and it doesn't change its original intention.

In the office, the prime minister and vice ministers Lao Ji and Kuini are working, and the two prime ministers and vice ministers are intolerant of the cold outside the customs, so they specially let people build four stoves in the office.

One each in the south, east, and west. Thanks to the charcoal burned, if the coal is burned, the two prime ministers and vice ministers are afraid that they will be buried in the imperial mausoleum in advance.

However, from the point of view of historical materialism, the early burial of the imperial mausoleum is not necessarily a bad thing for the two prime ministers and vice ministers, because His Majesty the Emperor carries with him another diary that has never been made public contains discussions on anti-corruption and anti-bureaucracy.

"All the members of the cabinet, 80 percent of the officials of the ministry monasteries, and 90 percent of the local officials were sent to Siberia, so that the initial success of the restoration led by me can be indicated." Because the contents of this diary are too scary, once leaked, it is easy to cause political instability, so even when Jia Liu sleeps, he is not at ease, so he uses England to write this secret diary, which is occasionally mixed with Japanese, Korean, Russian, French, etc.

Some key points are also replaced with ***. This ensures that even if the wives and concubines secretly open the diary while he is asleep, they will not be able to read the book because of the language barrier.

As smart as Jia Liu, no one believes it.

"Eaten?"

"Eat." After saying hello to the two who were busy with work, Jia Liu came to his desk, habitually cleaned up the desktop first, and then made himself a pot of tea, and then sat down and picked up the latest issue of "Daqing Daily" and read it carefully with a magnifying glass.

The content in the newspaper is very progressive, the three views are very positive, and the reported situation is also very good, which makes Jia Liu feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

While they were watching with relish, Lao Ji and Queenie quietly glanced at each other, and then they both got up and presented a copy of the streamlining plan for the large and small departments of the imperial court that had just been sent from Beijing to His Majesty the Emperor.

The plan was made by Prime Minister Bo Qing'e and Vice Prime Minister Chairman Lee, who were in charge of the overall situation in Beijing.

If the emperor has no opinion, the cabinet will fully implement it after the New Year.

"The plan has been prepared, and the efficiency is so high?" Jia Liu hurriedly took the plan and looked at it seriously, he couldn't help but be stunned at this look, and looked up and asked Ji and Kui in confusion: "Are you sure this is the plan for streamlining the imperial court departments drawn up by the cabinet?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two prime ministers and vice ministers answered in the affirmative. There will be no fakes.

"Are you sure?" Jia Liu took the plan in his hand and shook it in front of the eyes of the two prime ministers and vice ministers, and said in an accentuated tone: "Are you sure that this plan is implementing the guiding spirit of streamlining the imperial court organs?" ”

"That's right, Your Majesty!" The two prime ministers and vice ministers spoke in unison.

"Fuck you!" A nameless fire surged up from the bottom of his heart, and Jia Liu was angry

The "horn" slapped the plan on the table, and yelled at the two prime ministers and vice ministers: "What is simplified, that is, the less the better, damn it, you are good, the simpler the more!" It's called streamlining? That's right! The sound was like a dragon's roar, shaking the dust off the office beams.

Can you not be angry! Originally, there were only six central institutions in the Qing Dynasty, the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, the Lifan Yuan, and the Hanlin Yuan; There are 16 large and small institutions such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Dali Temple, Taifu Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, and Tongzheng Division.

According to the Manchu and Han official system in the past, these 16 institutions produced a total of 108 Manchu and Han chief officials and deputy chief officials.

For example, there is one Man Shang in the Ministry of Officials, two Man Shilang, and two Han Shilang. Then there are six directors and deputy ministers of the Ministry of Officials.

Now that the Restoration has been restored, the Manchus and Hans are equal, and the positions no longer distinguish between the Manchus and the Hans, according to Jia Liu's meaning, one department is a scholar and two squires.

In this way, three chief and deputy officials can be eliminated at once. The existing 16 imperial court institutions were also adjusted according to their different functions, and were reduced by half to eight central-level institutions.

In this way, the number of officials in the hall can be reduced by dozens, and the officials below can be eliminated by thousands. The dismissed court officials may be added to the rank of Minister of Parliament, or the length of service may be settled in a lump sum for retirement.

Officials who are not court officials and staff in non-leadership positions will be reassigned to other institutions, and those who cannot pass the examination will be given a certain amount of economic compensation and cleared out of the civil service.

Such as the flooding of various yamen, the Manmeng pen sticker, worship Tang A, etc. These positions have been the self-reserved place of the flag people since the beginning of the country, and many important officials have also used this position as a springboard to the pinnacle of life, such as Lao Bo, Queenie, and Asha, who either took the path of translators or took the path of pen and paste in their early years.

There are a lot of people who worship Tang A, but there are not many big names, except for Jia Liu, the emperor.

However, there are many middle-level officials who have come out of this path, and these people have held many important positions of real power from the central to the local level, and their own ability is close to zero, so they need to be cleaned up.

For this reason, Jia Liu specially issued an edict to the cabinet to define the translation jinshi, pen post style, and baitang a as the three origins that must be cleaned up.

And these three kinds of people are all banner people, and Jia Liu's attack on his compatriots is to convince the military and the people of the whole country and lay the foundation for the comprehensive rectification of the rule of officials.

After all, Jia Liu constantly emphasized on several occasions that the Restoration started from the Eight Banners, and at the same time, he also repeatedly told the hundred officials that the Eight Banners should atone for the crimes of the past, so that they could let go of the historical burden and better integrate into the new era of the Restoration.

Of course, layoffs are not one-size-fits-all. First, the future is determined. Of course, those who have passed the test can be retained, and those who can't pass the test should not complain.

Regardless of the Manchu or Han, they are treated equally. Starting with the central government to sort out and rectify the organs and officials on a large scale can greatly improve the administrative efficiency of the imperial court and save a lot of expenses on the other hand.

All temporary official positions such as team leaders and counselors created by Qianlong were abolished. Formalization is the foundation of a strong country.

Therefore, Jia Liu attached great importance to the streamlining plan of the imperial court organs, but the streamlining plan made by the cabinet turned the original 16 central-level institutions into 48!

Do you think he can not be angry? Before the Restoration was successful, the government team organized by himself acted in a grand manner, and even openly opposed his instructions, which made Jia Liu intolerable.

"It's called streamlining? You will take this lake and make it happen! I have just ascended the throne as the emperor, and before my ass is hot, I will not be able to move you if I don't leave the Forbidden City! The anger made Jia Liu's true dragon face distort a little, and the anger made him lose his mind even more.

The office was full of the roar of the real dragon, and everyone was affected everywhere the sound wave went, even Lao Chen, who was talking to the gang leader on the beach, was also affected, and couldn't help but shudder.

"Before the Restoration succeeded, I was completely hollowed out! What the hell do you want to do! ”

With a "bang", the official document on the desk was thrown to the ground by the angry Jia Liuyi.

"If this is what you want, then I will immediately announce that I will go to the wilderness, and then lead people to build sandbags at Zhengyangmen to launch an attack on the evil Bastille!" The excited Jia Liu's right fist couldn't stop waving, and his face was sickly flushed: "Learn that, France, reform bad governance!" For the sake of the country, I wish to be Rousseau and Voltaire! For Danton, Robespierre, Cromwell! For Mussolini, for that... Hi! ”

"......" is a bit hysterical. The air was filled with the smell of hormones and the spittle of stars flying in the sky.

The other two prime ministers and deputy ministers were dumbfounded. Even though the two adults had made rapid progress, they still didn't understand the golden sentences blurted out by His Majesty the Emperor.

"Say, if you want to be reformed, you still want revolution!" With the sound of Qiang Qiang's punch, Jia Liu gave two choices.

If you want to be revived, then listen to me, and everyone will be happy together. If you want a revolution, it will either be a guillotine or you will hang a street lamp!

The atmosphere in the "......" room was a little stiff. After half a ring, Lao Ji coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about the adjustment plan of the imperial court department, listen to the ministers and others explain slowly." After speaking, he picked up the thermos cup and opened the lid and took two sips.

After that, he slowly said that this plan was completely drawn up in accordance with the requirements of His Majesty the Emperor, but on this basis, it took into account the current national conditions of the Qing Dynasty and finally issued the plan after consulting all parties.

Therefore, this plan is the wisdom of the collective, not the idea of one person in the cabinet.

"The minister and Kui Zhongtang recognized this plan, because this plan can solve many practical problems at present, and can be unanimously supported by civil and military officials, Manchu and Han military and civilians, especially can reasonably solve the problem of the old officials..."

There are still quite a few hostile forces at home and abroad. Therefore, the unanimous conclusion of the cabinet after the closed-door meeting was that the old officials should be united and let these old officials continue to serve in the court on the premise of basically implementing His Majesty the Emperor's statement that the responsibilities of the imperial departments should be clarified.

This resulted in a programme to expand the number of departments from 16 to 48. There are more than 30 departments at once, and old officials and new officials can be arranged very well.

Queenie took over Lao Ji's words: "In the past, the Ministry of Rites was in charge of the ritual system of the Five Rites and the law of school tribute, but now according to His Majesty's requirements, the responsibilities of the department should be clear and clear, and the system of direct responsibility should be followed, so is it very reasonable to merge the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple in charge of diplomacy into three independent departments of education, diplomacy, and culture?" ”

"Huh? Jia Liu didn't say anything, because it sounded more reasonable. Lao Ji struck while the iron was hot: "There is also the household department, in the past, as a large ministry was responsible for too many things, resulting in a bloated administrative organization, low efficiency, and now the household department is divided into four independent parts of finance, agriculture, commerce, and taxation, is it very necessary?" ”

"Hmm." Jia Liu still didn't say anything, but the anger on his face gradually disappeared, picked up the plan on the table and looked at it carefully, hesitated for a moment and said weakly: "Although the new departmental plan has strengthened transportation, finance, national defense, and foreign affairs, and has a clear department, I feel that the industry is a bit insufficient, and a ministry of industry alone is not enough to show that I attach importance to industrialization... Can it be further split into the Ministry of Heavy Industry and the Ministry of Light Industry? Of course, this is my personal opinion, and whether it is feasible or not should be studied and discussed by the cabinet to come up with a charter. ”

"Your Majesty is right, what makes our Restoration different from the past is that we concretize the management of all government affairs, and at the same time adjust them according to changes in the international situation..."

I didn't give it to Lao Ji, because Lao Ji didn't like this kind of paper cigarettes, and still liked to smoke his big cigarette pouch.

"I have no experience in governing the country in the past, and some places will inevitably look immature, and you cabinet members should help me more in the future..."

The atmosphere was cheerful again. After smoking a cigarette, Jia Liu suddenly asked the two prime ministers and vice ministers with some puzzlement: "I have a doubt, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Lao Ji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Jia Liu nodded, curious: "How did you come up with the departments of finance, transportation, culture, and diplomacy?" ”

"Huh?" Lao Ji was stunned,

"Aren't these all recurring in His Majesty's diary? Why doesn't Your Majesty know? ”

"Yes?" Jia Liu's own self-esteem, his publicly released diary is actually a sentence he wrote when he was bored, and the notebook of the whole two sentences is not systematic and irrelevant, but I don't know how these guys linked those words together.

I was wondering, Luo Yuan, the deputy director of the Internal Affairs Committee, secretly came to report.

Fu Lehun openly claimed that the beggars helped the Son of Heaven, and said that as long as Qianlong followed him well, he might not be able to restore in the future! Your Majesty, the wolf's ambition is clearly revealed, and the heart of Fullerhun is known to passers-by! Deputy Director Luo was particularly angry and very excited: "The minister thinks that Your Majesty must not let the situation develop, and should take strong and powerful measures to immediately smash the reactionary clique headed by Fullerhun!" ”

"The old rich man is so bold?" Lao Ji and Queenie were also shocked by the old rich man's rebellious words, and they couldn't figure out how the old man dared to do this.

"This old rich man wishes that Lao Chen would not die." Jia Liu didn't take it to heart with a smile, because he knew that Lao Fu was luring Lao Chen to commit a crime and wanted to push Lao Chen into the abyss.

Seeing that the emperor wrote about this matter, Luo Yuan was anxious, and just as he was about to speak, someone came in, but it was someone from the attendant's room.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Eastern Advance Corps is in an emergency!" The guard in charge of the official document sent an urgent telegram. Jia Liu took it and looked at it, and casually threw it on the table to ask the guards to call back to the East Legion Headquarters, saying that he knew.

Lao Ji stepped forward and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, Jinzhou is liberated." Jia Liu's face didn't look like a big deal, and he bent down to pick up the official document that he had fallen to the ground when he was angry just now.

Jinzhou is liberated?! The two prime ministers and vice ministers were so shocked by the news that they opened their mouths wide and were speechless for a long time, didn't they say that it would take at least half a month to take Jinzhou, and it was only three days to take it?

"What's all the fuss, my army has always been invincible, don't say that the little Jinzhou, even Shengjing, will not fall overnight." Jia Liu's face was full of pride, the army he built with his own hands may not be able to catch up with the revolutionary army, but at least it can compete with the team of Beiyang warlords.

It is enough to take the initiative to provoke a world war.
