"Retire after a success. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Chen Xin listened to the words muttered to the mouths of several ministers sitting on both sides until everyone was puzzled, so he continued to explain, "That's right, that is, the military control committee has completed its mission, and the next step is to reorganize the military management committee into a centralized civil affairs organization that is more suitable for the current situation."

I am going to divide and reorganize the functions of the original Military Management Commission in detail.

First of all, a basic law should be drafted, which would establish by law that the king is the head of state, the supreme magistrate, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and the supreme religious leader of the United Kingdom of China.

The king has powers, but not limited to, [appointing and dismissing officials at any level in the country, adjusting all institutions, enacting, approving and amending laws, declaring wars with foreign countries, armistice ceasing, signing contracts, etc.].

Next, I am going to set up a cabinet, which is not a decision-making body like the Ming Dynasty is now, but his original form, that is, an advisory body directly under the king.

The cabinet was an auxiliary structure and subordinate structure of the king, without an independent status and the power to act beyond the king.

The cabinet consisted of ministers of state who dealt with the affairs of the state, i.e., ministers or ministers, as well as other officials appointed by the king. Specifically, it includes the first assistant and the second assistant, and also includes all senior ministers of state.

There are 13 ministries at the ministerial level, including the State Council, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of National Security, the Ministry of Veterans, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Education.

In addition to this, I will also establish a Privy Council, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet, but is directly accountable to me, and has a number of professional advisory bodies under my authority to provide advice.

The Privy Council includes the Council of Economic Advisers, the Office of Preparation, Management and Budget, the National Policy Committee, the Office of Science and Technology Policy, etc., which can be established slowly.

In addition to the Cabinet and the Privy Council, I will continue to build a number of institutions, which are also independent and not under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet and the Privy Council, but are directly accountable to me.

They roughly include the postal system, the news system, the banking system, and other institutions that we will build in the next step, but the establishment of these institutions requires a lot of time to prepare and explore experience, and it is a long-term project.

These are the central institutions, and then there are the local government institutions.

Locally, because our three administrative districts are spread out.

Between the northern and southern administrative regions of Korea is the warring Kingdom of Korea and the remnants of the Sangyong region occupied by Sukh Saha and Anbuyang.

The Kyushu Prefecture is an overseas territory that we have seized from the Japanese country.

In this case, the administrative region of Hanbei is directly under the jurisdiction of the central government. Due to the perennial war and the sparse local population, most of the county seats were merged and the county system was used.

Under the Cabinet, the Asami Regional Affairs Department and the Kyushu Regional Affairs Department were established, with two offices to manage the affairs of each prefecture in the two regions.

However, the current offices of the two ministries are not in the central government, but are temporarily located in Chaonan and Kyushu, and they will be moved back to the central government when they have long-distance and timely communication capabilities in the future.

At the county level, various local government bodies are set up in accordance with the general division of the central ministries, and all departments jointly form a county-level government to carry out its work on the principle of democratic centralism.

Then, according to different data such as population density and the proportion of industry and agriculture, different township and township subordinate institutions will be built.

In the areas along the Yalu River such as Yiju, Myeongju, and Maoshan Iron and Steel Coal Base, Pyongan County was established as the temporary capital.

Yanju to the south of Uiju starts and ends in Anju, forming Anju County.

South of Anju to Pyongyang, it forms Pyongyang County.

South of Pyongyang to the Shangjing front, it forms Seoul-gun.

Next, the old-style south-facing administrative district and Kyushu administrative district are next. The division of counties there is the responsibility of the two ministries of affairs. ”

This meeting was just a general way to give the subordinates a rough run, so that they could prepare for the work, and Chen Xin never thought that he would be able to smooth out the work of the government at one time.

After the meeting, Chen Xin roughly assigned, and asked several ministers to set up a departmental preparatory committee on the basis of the Military Management Commission, and slowly prepare for the establishment of these institutions.

Next, there is a lot of work to be done, such as the recruitment and training of personnel, the construction of government office space, personnel adjustment, the division of responsibilities and powers, and the transfer of documents and files.

The various ministries of the Cabinet are now prepared by the Military Control Council, but there are also the Privy Council and the direct organs of the King.

Who should the Privy Council be entrusted with? The Council of Economic Advisers, the Office of Preparation, Management and Budgeting, the National Policy Committee, the Office of Science and Technology Policy, and so on, are all highly specialized institutions, and I am afraid that there are not many people who can do them now.

The current kingdom has only implemented a literacy policy among adults, and primary education has only just begun, with the establishment of a few primary schools.

Moreover, because the time is too short, the first batch of primary school graduates, it will not be until next year, and the middle school is even more missing.

Under these circumstances, it would be impossible to form a highly professional Privy Council to provide professional advice to you.

However, it's not impossible to think about it, after all, Chen Xin still has a golden finger.

Now that there is a solution, then Chen Xin is not in a hurry.

I continue to think about the next step, that is, the establishment of the postal system, the press system, the banking system and other directly subordinate institutions.

Let's talk about the news system first, but there is no way to get those high-tech now, and it can only be paper media, and newspapers are the mainstay.

Newspapers are important carriers of mass communication and have the function of reflecting and guiding public opinion.

The press and publishing industry believes that "Di Bao" is the earliest newspaper in China.

"Di" originally referred to the residence of the officials of the ancient pilgrimage to Beijing in Beijing, which appeared as early as the Warring States period, and some people say that it began in the Western Han Dynasty.

Yan Shigu said: "The house of the county and the country, the famous residence of the master in Beijing. Di, to also, to the words to also. ”

Later, as the office of local high-ranking officials in Beijing, "Di" was set up to transmit communication news, so it was called "Di Bao". "Di Bao", also known as "Di Bao", and also known as "Chao Bao", "Article Newspaper", and "Miscellaneous Newspaper", is a kind of annunciative news used for notification, which is specially used for the court to disseminate documents and political information about the government and government, and belongs to news copying.

With Di Bao as the foundation, it is not difficult to develop into newspapers.

Moreover, newspapers are the mouthpieces of state propaganda and must be taken seriously.

The kingdom will first set up one or several newspapers, and then it will also establish a press censorship mechanism to censor the newspaper boom that may come in the future on the basis of partial freedom of speech.
