308 Constituent Assembly (B)
On February 17, the Datang Constituent Assembly was officially convened, and most of the delegates attending the meeting were newly elected cadres of the Datang Revitalization Party, as well as representatives of the newly formed democratic parties and outstanding figures without party affiliation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In the national attention, the INFO Constituent Assembly officially revised the provisional constitution drafted by the original cabinet and launched the first formal constitution of the Tang Dynasty.
In the new constitution, the composition and formation of the Tang regime were re-stipulated, and the Constituent Assembly was automatically transformed into the Tang Congress, and at the same time, in accordance with the provisions of the new constitution, the second president of the Tang Dynasty was elected. Not surprisingly, Zhao Daling was successfully re-elected and became the second president of the Tang Republic. According to the Tang Constitution, the president is the supreme head of state, the leader of the state and the head of government. The Tang Republic does not have the National Council of Ministers, the Prime Minister or other similar positions, and the President exercises executive powers. In accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, Zhao Daling appointed Zheng He as the vice president of the Tang Republic, which was approved by the National Assembly, thus becoming the first vice president of the Tang Dynasty. The Vice President does not have clear powers and is responsible for sharing the work of the President, and is appointed by the President to manage and supervise various affairs.
The president of the Tang Dynasty has a high degree of centralization of power, but there are also checks and balances. The appointment of the heads of the ministries and commissions of the National Council is first examined and nominated by the Party Organization Department for the Revitalization of the Party, then deliberated and approved by the Decision Committee, and then transferred to the Party Group of the National Council for appointment and dismissal by the National Assembly, and finally passed and becomes the new head of the ministry. The president's power spans both sides of the party, but the appointment of new cabinet members obviously needs to be approved by the decision-making committee. The President does not have full authority over the Decision-Making Committee, but the President-President, who is broadly endorsed by the Decision-making Committee, has full decision-making power.
The National Assembly also elected Leong Chun Hai, the former Minister of Industry, as the Speaker of the National Assembly; Yao Weichun originally wanted to retire. But Zhao Daling still kept him. Hopefully, he will serve as President of the Senate, who doesn't have much to do.
Zhao Daling made a series of appointments: Liu Tian, the former minister of civil affairs. He became the Secretary General of the National Council, second only to the Vice-President in the Cabinet; Su Liangxing was promoted to foreign minister; Xue Yue was awarded the rank of Army General and served as Minister of National Defense; Zhang Pengfei, the outstanding Los Angeles Public Security Commissioner, was appointed Minister of Public Security; Niu Bin became the Minister of National Security; Ye Baozao was transferred from the governor of the central bank to the minister of finance; Lin Youde achieved positive results, and finally became the Minister of Commerce as a businessman; Dr. Chen Ju was appointed Minister of Culture and Education; Mei Ruhe, the former military colonel in charge of the equipment industry, was transferred to the minister of industry and stepped down from his military post; Bao Xun has not changed, relying on his professionalism, he is still the Minister of Communications; Wei Zhiwen served as Minister of Supervision. Responsible for anti-corruption and anti-corruption work; Fang Xiaohua is the Minister of Civil Affairs; Song Jinxue is the Minister of Labor; Li Minjian is in charge of the Ministry of Land and Resources; Tang Zhi took over the Ministry of Agriculture left by Xue Yue; Zeng Cheng served as the head of the Propaganda Department; The Ministry of Health is headed by Ma Xin; The president of the Datang Central Bank is Cui Liguo, former deputy governor.
This time, the various ministries of the State Council have changed very dramatically, and some of the ministries that were originally concurrently served by the president have become full-fledged ministers, and the two departments of national security and public security have been separated, as well as culture, education, and propaganda. The new ministries include the Ministry of Supervision, the Ministry of Labor, and the Ministry of Land and Resources, in order to better coordinate the country's development. In this way, there are 17 ministries and commissions in the State Council, which basically cover all aspects of state affairs.
Due to the increase in ministries and commissions, some ministers have left their posts and been promoted, so a large number of officials who were originally middle-level cadres in the State Council. All have been promoted. However, by this time, the power of the Cabinet had shrunk considerably, and the legislative power had been handed over to the Diet. The role of cabinet members is a little lower than before.
Military affairs have also been readjusted, and the subordinate organs of the Ministry of National Defense have been formally changed into the General Headquarters of the Army, the General Headquarters of the Navy, the General Staff Headquarters, the General Political Department, the General Armament Department, and the General Logistics Department. Liu Fangwu and Deng Xiyi are respectively called commander-in-chief of the army and navy, Chen Tao, chief of the general staff, and Jiang Yuan, chief of the general political department.
Bai Nan was promoted to the rank of Vice Admiral, and at the same time, he was called the Governor of the United China Special Administrative Region as a soldier, and commanded all the Tang troops stationed in the Qing Dynasty. As a result of the current reform of the Ministry of National Defense, many military ranks have been promoted for the sake of their posts, and there are various comprehensive considerations in the awarding of titles, and the commanders on the front line have not changed much, but they have changed a lot in their high-level positions. However, in the past, these people were doing high-level things with low military positions, and there was not much discussion about it this time.
Bai Nan was originally one of the only few generals in the country, but a group of generals appeared at the head of the country, but he was relatively calm, and within ten years, the positions of these generals would not change much. And the colonels and colonels below will be promoted quickly.
The governors of Borneo and the Guwei Islands were all civilians, and the overseas governors of the Tang Dynasty were more flexible in their selection, and because armed conflicts could occur at any time in some places, it was safer to appoint officers as governors, and most of the governors in this era were military officers.
The convening of the Constituent Assembly and the change of the national system of Datang were a bombshell, which surprised ordinary people who had no news at all before. Ordinary people feel that the amount of information is too large for a while, and they can't decipher any valuable information, but Datang is still the same Datang, and their lives have not changed much.
Especially for the new immigrants, most of them do not know the written word, do not read the newspaper, and are not aware of the series of changes in the Tang government. For them, the most important thing is nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in life. They are passively sent by employees of the Immigration Bureau of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to their new homes by car, train or steamboat.
Only about 20 percent of the new immigrants are assigned to major farms, and many more are brought into the factory to begin training and learn some basic labor skills. Most of them join companies such as food processing plants, textile factories, cigarette factories, salt works, paper mills, etc., where production is not particularly complicated, and many of them learn how to work within a week.
Of course, the new job is not a particularly fuss for the immigrants, who are told that they have effectively become landlords, have a fixed annual harvest, and that they have enough settling-in money and wages to feed their families, and some are surprised to find that they can afford to eat the "luxuries" of eggs and meat on a daily basis.
In excitement and anticipation, they began to live in this land as a Tang people. (To be continued.) )
