Seeing that His Majesty was in a good mood and was willing to chat a few extra words, the head of the secretariat, Liu Xianjun, beat the snake and said with the stick; "If the officials in various places are not satisfied, they can't do it, the Royal Bureau of Statistics is directly under the Royal Government, and the hard bar of taxation cannot be faked, and only by making every effort to develop the economy is the right way."

"It is necessary to implement the audit work of outgoing officials, do a good job of supervision and review, completely put an end to the luck mentality of officials, and if they are found, they must be severely investigated and punished, and they will not be tolerated, so as to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and cut off the thoughts that the ranks of officials should not have." Richard instructed again.

"Your Majesty; Weichen thinks that the rule of the Tang Kingdom is far better than that of the powerful countries in the world today, and is known for its strong action, high efficiency, honesty and justice, which can be described as an example for all countries! ”

"This is the result of a set of systems restricting each other, and officials have goals, assessments, examinations, and supervision during their tenures, and audits when they leave office, and public announcements when they take office, forming a complete set of restraint systems. Coupled with the high salary system, this has pushed up the cost of crime, and it seems that it is being implemented very well. Richard said proudly.

He picked up the cup and took two sips of tea leisurely, and was in a pretty good mood.

From the beginning of the founding of the Tang Kingdom, it was committed to copying the British-style civil service system in its entirety, distinguishing between elected officials and official officials.

When the conditions were ripe, the supervision and restraint mechanism of officials, which was proved to be very effective in later generations, was gradually introduced, so that the rule of officials was perfected day by day, and a reliable administrative system guarantee was provided for the economic development of the whole country.

It is certainly not possible to govern a country by any one person.

If we want the country to have long-term peace and prosperity day by day, a complete set of clear and honest officials is indispensable, which can be said to be the basic system of a strong country, and it is also an indispensable mechanism for supervising and reviewing the ranks of officials.

He did not pursue the harsh punishment law implemented by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, nor did he copy the Manchu Qing Dynasty's system of raising honest silver, but innovated in the British style of official governance, so as to become more efficient, more honest, and more suitable for the vigorous Tang Kingdom.

Britain's rule has its own clever place, tens of thousands of civil servants are generally of high quality, and the efficiency of colonizing the world is far better than that of France, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, and other old colonial powers, which has been recognized by the world.

However, the shortcomings of the British officials are also obvious: due to the imperfection of the supervision system and the lack of outgoing audits, corruption is serious, decision-making efficiency is low, prevarication is commonplace, and the habitual thinking of getting by has become the mainstream.

This is also the main reason why British society has become increasingly conservative since the middle of the 19th century.

There is a bad side, and naturally there is a good side.

Britain's electoral officers are subject to national scrutiny, and whether they do well or not during their tenure of office naturally have a scale in the hearts of voters, and every new government wants to do something, which also gives the rigid social atmosphere of the British Empire some vitality.

The officials of the Tang Kingdom have absorbed beneficial nutrients, that is, they have established the difference between election officials and office officials, and they can achieve such good results now, mainly holding three trump cards.

In layman's terms;

Electoral officers include members of the Cabinet, the House of Lords and the House of Commons, mayors and deputy governors of the provinces and principal officials of various departments, independent prosecutors, presiding judges of the districts, etc., all of whom are elected at the national, provincial, municipal and county levels, with a fixed term and subject to parliamentary and voter scrutiny.

The post officer is the civil service, including the deputy officials of the national, provincial and municipal departments (note: excluding senior officials, deputy mayors, deputy county heads, and deputy town mayors), such as the deputy minister of the interior, which is held by experienced post officials, no matter how the minister of the interior is rotated, the deputy minister has no major fault during his tenure, and will only change his post and will not be dismissed.

The rank of Deputy Minister of the Royal Government is the ceiling of the ranks of officials.

The only exception

They are officials serving in the royal secretariat, they belong to the inner court, they are ministers in nature, and can be understood as domestic servants of the royal family, and their salaries and appointments and dismissals are completely determined by the inner court, and have nothing to do with the royal government.

So

There is a clear line of demarcation between election officials and office officials, with mutual checks and balances and mutual supervision.

For example, if the new election officials want to make some big names and make a big noise and attract attention in the short term, but they harm the long-term interests of the region, then the officials will definitely strongly oppose it and obstruct the implementation in various ways.

The reason is simple

You have indeed been in the limelight in the past two years, you have had enough, you have accumulated enough political capital, you can run for mayor, or even high-ranking officials, you can run for Congress, but who will take care of the mess left by all your efforts?

Unless the officials reach the top level of the municipal or provincial government departments, they generally serve in the local area for a long time, and they must think about how to live their lives in the future, which is the contradiction between the interests of the two sides.

The first trump card is the role of democratic supervision in the British government, and whether a senior official or mayor does well or not is left to the parliament and voters to evaluate.

The second trump card is the high-salary pension system, and the third trump card is the outgoing audit system.

The outgoing audit system covers the election of officials and officials who have reached a certain level, and truly achieves the publicity of officials before taking office, the whole process of supervision after taking office, and the whole process of auditing after leaving office, which has played an excellent role in practical application.

In addition to these three trump cards, the Tang Kingdom established an administrative college in Taoyuan City, with the goal of cultivating excellent and qualified administrative officials, instilling correct concepts such as loyalty, responsibility, responsibility and honor, establishing a correct outlook on life and values, and supplementing the grassroots civil servants.

These new forces have knowledge, enthusiasm, enthusiasm and responsibility, and they are the fresh blood urgently needed by grassroots government agencies.

Seriously

The Tang Kingdom is not a British-style constitutional monarchy, but more similar to the Prussian constitutional monarchy, that is to say, the electoral system is not perfect, and the parliament and the main officials of the state are decided by His Majesty the King, which is basically an ornament.

Since it was in the early days of the founding of the country, the disadvantages of the monarchy's dictatorship had not yet been revealed, but instead it condensed the military and political powers, which was conducive to the rapid implementation of economic policies and military mobilization, and had many benefits.

"The last thing?" Richard asked in a good mood.

Hearing His Majesty ask about this, the head of the secretariat, Yoo Hyun-jun, replied with a smile;

"Your Majesty, it is Dong Jie, the newly established Minister of the Colonies, who has made a statement on the application for appropriation and personnel transfer arrangements for the supply and funding of materials and funds for the development of the two towns in the east and west of the island of New Guinea."

"Oh, the colony is moving fast! As soon as the pre-imperial meeting was passed, the relevant measures followed, and it seems that it has been prepared for a long time! ”

"Your Majesty, now the government is very active in handling government affairs from ministers to grassroots officials, and the development of the kingdom is a thriving scene.

"Well, the positivity is commendable." Richard nodded in response.

The officials of the Tang Kingdom have high salaries, high status, good benefits, and perfect institutional constraints, so they are generally diligent and hardworking, so they have a good reputation, and they are a specific social group that is respected.

The royal government has never treated these officials badly, they are really just doing their part.

However, in today's situation where officials in all countries in the world are generally corrupt, and there is no blackest, only the blacker than the worst, the official ranks of the Tang Kingdom seem to be a clear stream, and they are becoming more and more prominent.

The Tang Kingdom has already set its sights on the island of New Guinea, which has lasted several years, and the relevant survey team has conducted a comprehensive survey of the island's topography and has identified two good places to establish colonial towns.

One port area located in the northeastern part of the island is the former Moresby area, known as the "East Port".

"Donggang" has a world-class encircling port, the inland valley is flat and wide, the annual rainfall is about 1100 mm, which is equivalent to the level of northern Jiangsu, neither drought nor waterlogging, the climatic conditions are maintained between 20 degrees and 26 degrees all year round, the temperature difference is very small throughout the year, comfortable and pleasant.

It is only more than 370 nautical miles from Darwin, Australia's northernmost city in the south, and is the best transit port for the proposed Central Pacific Rim route.

The other is located at the tip of the southwest of the island of New Guinea, and is the capital of the former Guinea Province of Indonesia, Jayapura, which is called "New Xi'an" because of its location in the western part of the island.

Since the island of New Guinea has almost no traces of the existence of civilized society, it is completely primitive, and there are only a few terrible primitive cannibal tribes on the island, so the construction of the town has to start from scratch.

In the early stages of construction

It is the complete net investment of the government of the Tang Kingdom, and the budget and materials applied for by the colonial department, as well as the corresponding personnel and weapons, must be as meticulous as possible and carefully prepared.

Because there is no reliable supply point within 1,500 kilometers of the surrounding area, the town of Darwin in Australia is just a town of more than 100 people, and there is not even a wharf, let alone supplies.

In the initial stages of reclamation, the convoy had to bring with them the equipment necessary for the construction of the wharf, such as I-beams, rebar and cement, equipment for the construction of brick kilns, gasoline for burning the jungle, kerosene for lighting, animal power such as cattle and horses, herbs against tropical diseases, various construction tools and machines, tents, materials for construction, enough cans and food, and everything else imaginable.

The amount of manpower and material resources required to build two large port towns on a blank slate is enormous.

Fortunately, the trees and rocks needed to build the town can be taken locally, and the transportation team will unload the materials after arriving at the destination, and the next step will be to continue sailing northwest, and after arriving at the southern port of Shenzhou, a large number of Chinese who are ready to emigrate can be loaded back, and they are the main labor force for the construction of the new town.

So

These two new towns will have tens of thousands of young and vigorous laborers in a short period of time, and they will be able to reclaim land and turn it into fertile land, raise chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, and vigorously build towns.

You're welcome

Only the Tang Kingdom, backed by the land of China, has an endless source of labor, has industrious and simple Chinese immigrants, and has the first-class ocean-going navigation ability of today's era, can the island of New Guinea be developed to the greatest extent.

In another country, there is no door.
