Chapter 1147 The so-called imperial mind
In February of the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Da Ming, the glass factory began to be built. Under the constant urging of officials at all levels, it was finally completed and put into production in mid-May.
This is the first fully automated glass manufacturing factory in the Han tribe. It is impossible to say that it is fully automated. Workers are also needed here, but compared with the old glass factory on the northern lake island, the work here is much easier and there are fewer workers. The glassmakers no longer need to blow with their mouths. Air compressors are used here to blow air.
After the glass factory was put into production, a steady stream of flat glass was produced, and then it was not stored in the warehouse at all, but directly transported to the imperial palace in the capital by train.
All the palaces, attics, pavilions, terraces and terraces in the palace were installed with glass where it should be installed, and painted where it should be painted. It was not until the end of August of the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Da Ming that the entire palace project was finally completed.
The current imperial palace has golden and blue glazed tile roofs, vermilion palace walls, vermilion lacquered pillars, large glass curtain walls, and scenery everywhere. The interior is full of tiles and wooden floors. When you arrive at the harem, standing on the attic, you can see the Taiye Lake artificial lake, which covers hundreds of acres.
Wow, the area of the artificial lake is so large that you can drive a speedboat in it.
What's more exaggerated is that there is an island in the center of the Taiye Lake, which is called Penglai Island. There is also a small building with ancient style architecture inside, which is simply beautiful.
But when Luo Chong looked at the garden of the harem again, he suddenly felt bored.
That's it? This is called a palace?
I always feel that something is missing!
Yes, it's exotic flowers and plants!
So, Luo Chong ordered Hanyang County to send a team to the Rumeng Water Valley in the west to collect some seeds or branches of luminous plants, or even seedlings. If they can be planted, they will be planted, if they can be cut, they will be cut, if they can't be dug out and transplanted. Anyway, Luo Chong has made a decision, he wants to make this harem as beautiful as a fairyland.
After the palace was built, Luo Chong immediately ordered to transfer the Jinwu Guard and the Xiaoqi Guard to the military camp of the palace, and the soldiers of the remaining two camps of the Shen Ce Guard in the north were also transferred and moved to the palace. They are responsible for guarding the palace.
Then Luo Chong asked people to select a group of young and good-looking female slaves from the captured cannibals according to needs and put them in the palace as maids. The total number is about 800, responsible for cleaning various palaces and courtyards and flower gardens.
These maids also have their own dormitory area in the palace, and they will not live with Luo Chong's family. They are only responsible for cleaning.
The maids who really served the emperor were hired from the people and paid monthly wages. In modern terms, they were called nannies.
In ancient terms, the female slaves of the cannibals were all rough maids.
However, although Luo Chong had maids selected to clean the house, he did not let the family move in immediately.
In fact, Luo Chong had taken Xiaodie and the children to visit the new home, and they were all dumbfounded, especially the seven-year-old Xiao Luocheng and Xiao Luolan. The two children clamored to live in the palace, but Luo Chong still rejected them. His reason was that the paint smell here was too strong, and their younger brothers and sisters were still young. It was not good for their health to smell such a smell, so they had to wait for another half a year to get rid of the smell.
Especially in the palaces, the wooden furniture was basically painted with tung oil or paint, and the smell was very bad, so it was better to let the maids clean for half a year, ventilate on time every day, and get rid of the smell.
In addition, Luo Chong now has five children. After Tang Yao married, she became pregnant at the end of the second year of Da Ming. In the autumn of the third year of Da Ming, she gave birth to a boy, Luo Chong's fifth child, named Luo An, which means peace.
Luo An was born in the autumn of the third year of Da Ming. Now it is the autumn of the fourth year of Da Ming. The little guy is now one year old. If calculated according to the number of months on Earth, the child is already fifteen months old. He can walk with the help of the wall and babbles a few words.
Now the palace has been built, but Luo Chong is not ready to move there himself.
The population of the capital is still too small, so in the beginning of winter in the fourth year of Da Ming, that is, in October, Luo Chong ordered another group of people to migrate to the capital, but this time it was not a forced migration, but an invitation to visit.
Invite some rich people and businessmen to visit the capital, see the hugeness of the capital, and understand the future construction goals and plans of the capital. Finally, take these people to various markets, and there is no need to attract investment. They will rush to migrate to the capital.
In this way, Luo Chong recruited a group of business talents for the capital.
However, this was not enough, so Luo Chong issued another mandatory order that the patriarchs of the small tribes who had joined the Han tribe before must bring all their direct family members to live in the capital.
This will not only divide the power of those clans, but also put them under Luo Chong's eyes, so that they will not rebel.
In addition, most of the patriarchs of these clans have titles, and they have saved a lot of money over the years by relying on the extra land. These people have money, and it is wrong not to spend money. Such rich people must move to the capital to live, otherwise how can they spend money?
In addition to the patriarchs of those small tribes, the patriarchs of the eight counties and clans in the Yuantang tribe who were forced to migrate to the capital this time also included the patriarchs of the eight counties in the Yuantang tribe.
Finally, the families of officials above the county level in various parts of the Han tribe must also move to the capital to live.
In this way, Luo Chong directly brought in about 30,000 people. With the addition of the more than 10,000 people who migrated before, the capital now has a population of nearly 50,000.
In the winter of the fourth year of Da Ming, Luo Chong issued a strange order to the governors of the various counties under the jurisdiction of the Han tribe, asking all county-level officials to select suitable successors and to start the Jingcha in the fifth year of Da Ming to assess the work ability and administrative level of officials in various places.
A group of county governors were puzzled. The leader had forced all their families to move to the capital first, and now he asked them to start selecting successors to their current positions. Could it be that the leader was going to transfer all county-level officials to the capital?
Is this a promotion or a demotion?
The county governor is moving up, shouldn't he be the governor of the state? Even if he is promoted, he should be the governor of the state, right? What does it mean to let them go to the capital?
However, there is no way to figure it out, but they actually know in their hearts that there is a high probability that they will be promoted this time. If these county governors leave, won't the people who are promoted below be promoted?
Even the people below have been promoted, will they be demoted? Or transferred horizontally?
Only the governors of the eight counties of Hanyang and Dashu were clear. Dashu had heard the news that Luo Chong was going to establish a country and become emperor. The governors of the eight counties of Hanyang had more contact with Luo Chong and often heard the word "country" from the leader.
They all understood that the imperial palace in the capital had been built and the population had moved there. The leader was likely to establish the so-called country during this period!
In this way, some were confused and some were clear, but no matter what the governors thought, they could only execute Luo Chong's orders.
In the fifth year of Daming, the whole country conducted a merit test. The factory directors of various factories, county-level officials, black-clothed clerks of various rooms, and teachers of various schools were all inspected. According to the four levels of dereliction of duty, reluctant appointment, good appointment, and good appointment, the officials were tested and listed in a table according to their work ability.
In fact, the four selection criteria are unqualified, barely qualified, good political performance, and good at local governance.
After the assessments were completed in various places, Luo Chong ordered all the county governors to bring the assessment list and go to the capital for a meeting after the sowing of summer grain in the second quarter of the fifth year of Da Ming.
More than 20 county governors of the Han tribe, all with trepidation and expectation, came to the capital together on May 5, the fifth year of Da Ming.
In addition to the county governors of various places in the Han tribe, Luo Chong also called You Fu, the governor of Qiongzhou Xue Qingyao, the Grand Commander of Qiongzhou Yang Feng, the commander of the Fu Bo Guard of the Navy You Fu, the commander of the Huben Guard Xue Tu, and the leaders of the nine regiments left after the military reform, and even the leaders of the original Tang tribe Tang Ji and Tang Yao, as well as the main management of the three research institutes and the "scientists" of the Han tribe.
Dozens of people, as well as their main family members, formed a tour group of several hundred people. After these people gathered in the capital, Luo Chong personally took their family to visit various places in the capital, let them see the grandeur of the capital, and explain the future plans of various places.
To be honest, when everyone first arrived in the capital, they were really shocked. It was because the capital was so big. This should be the largest city in the world, without a doubt. The various magnificent and unique buildings opened everyone's eyes.
After Luo Chong took them to visit the imperial palace, everyone was even more shocked.
After visiting the imperial palace, Luo Chong took them to visit the official office area inside the imperial city and the family compound in the official office area.
In addition to the various administrative offices, the rest were the residences of senior officials in Beijing. Some places had model rooms, and some places had nothing built. Now it was still an empty piece of land, but the corresponding grades and specifications had already been standardized. The higher the official, the larger the homestead, the number of courtyards and buildings, all of which were regulated and could not be messed up.
But even those model rooms were much better than the houses they used to live in.
The families of the officials were very excited about the houses here, but the officials above the rank of county governor observed more things, such as the palace, the emperor, and the functions of the three halls in the palace. This is the leader, no, no, no, that's not right, this is the place where the emperor and the ministers discuss matters.
In that case, has he been promoted from a county governor to a minister in Beijing?
However, they don't understand the system of the state-level political system yet, and don't know what departments the central government has set up. And the leader called them all here to arrange new positions for them.
Before these people could think more, on the next day, May 6th, Luo Chong began to call everyone to a meeting.
The meeting place was in the Purple Palace Hall in the palace, which was the innermost of the three halls. It was the place where the emperor summoned his close ministers to discuss confidential matters. The Purple Palace Hall was not big, and in addition to being magnificent, the decoration had a sense of home.
Luo Chong brought all the officials here, and they all sat around a long table. Luo Chong sat in the center, with two guards standing behind him. They were also Luo Chong's secretaries and assistants, one of whom was Luo Chong's assistant who sent and received letters.
The two guards each held a stack of pamphlets, and after everyone arrived, they began to hand them out to the officials. The pamphlets were all about the Han tribes, no, the various administrative agencies of the Han Empire's "court", as well as the operating principles of the central court, what departments there were, and what these departments needed to manage.
After the booklet was handed to everyone, Luo Chong said to everyone, "After yesterday's visit, I think everyone knows what to do next. Take a look at the booklet in your hands. After you finish reading it, we will discuss your new positions."
Everyone curiously opened the thin booklet in their hands. At first, they didn't feel anything. They just felt fresh. It turned out that the central court had set up so many departments and institutions that they had never heard of. However, when they turned a few pages and saw the specific responsibilities and rights of each department, as well as the official ranks, they couldn't help but take a breath.
Shocked, this is really shocking.
Although the central court has many departments and positions, it seems that the local power that used to be managed by one person in a county has been split up, but if you look closely, you will find that the chief officer of each department has considerable power. Take
the Ministry of Households for example. In fact, there is also a household office in the county-level county governor's office, which manages the local land, money, grain, population, household registration, taxation, etc., but it only manages a county.
However, although the Ministry of Revenue of the central court lost the right to manage other departments, it held all the money, grain, land, population and household registration in its own hands.
How great is this power?
It seems to be divided into fragmented rights, but after adding the title of national scope, the value of gold has doubled.
Looking at the countless departments and official positions, everyone's breathing became rapid.
Some people even began to count the heads quietly. It seems that the number of people attending the meeting is about the same as the number of departments of the central court written in the booklet. In this case, wouldn't everyone be able to manage a department specifically?
Even these people attending the meeting may not be divided, after all, Luo Chong has set up too many departments.
When everyone finished reading the booklet and began to discuss in a low voice, Luo Chong clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention.
After everyone looked at him and quieted down, Luo Chong said to them.
“After reading this administrative system and rules and regulations, I believe you all know the purpose of calling you to this meeting. Yes, the purpose of our meeting is to discuss the personnel appointments and dismissals of these departments, and who is suitable for what position.
“However, some people should have already seen that our central court has many departments. That is, each of you present will serve as the head of a department, and I am afraid that some positions will still have vacancies.
"But we don't need to rush. Although so many positions have been set up, some departments are not needed for the time being. We can set up the overall framework first, and when the time is right and there are more suitable candidates, we will select talents and set up these departments."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, but they were embarrassed to speak up and recommend themselves. After all, this is not as simple as a county governor.
The departments and positions set up by the leaders of the central court divide various affairs into very detailed categories. If you want to be the chief officer of these departments, you must have rich experience and skills in related fields.
It's like a big tree. If you ask him to manage a research institute, he doesn't know anything about research and he won't be able to do anything there. This emphasizes the professionalism of the relevant departments.
Everyone was also considering what position they were suitable for.
At this time, Luo Chong, who was sitting at the top, spoke again.
"I know that you are embarrassed to be picky, and some of you may not understand the functions and responsibilities of the relevant departments. Now, I will assign positions to you first. Those who are assigned to positions and do not understand the functions of their departments can raise their hands to ask questions.
"If you feel that you are not suitable for the position I assigned and want to go to other positions, you can also raise your hands to make suggestions after I finish speaking."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. If the leader asked them to choose by themselves, they would not have the courage or really don't know what to choose.
After everyone quieted down again, Luo Chong spoke.
"The first position, the first Minister of Revenue, will be held by Lin Shu, also known as Dashu, the current governor of Takumi County. He will be in charge of the national taxation, civil affairs, finance, auditing, bank supervision, and national agriculture. If you have any opinions, please raise them later.
"The first Minister of War will be the current commander of the Navy's Fubo Guard, Shuda, who will oversee the country's military, including defense deployments, foreign military plans, military equipment manufacturing and renewal, local management of conscription and retirement of soldiers, and troops stationed throughout the country.
"The first Minister of Personnel will be the current governor of Dongxin County, Jing Yan, who will be in charge of the performance evaluation of officials at all levels across the country, the appointment and removal of low-level officials, the recommendation for the appointment and removal of senior officials, and the evaluation and appointment and removal of factory managers across the country. "
When Luo Chong just said this, Jing Yan couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise. He never expected that the leader would arrange such a position for him. Originally, Jing Yan thought that it was already great for him to be a chief officer in a branch under the six ministries. He didn't expect that the leader would think so highly of him.
Being able to appoint and dismiss low-level officials across the country, and having the right to recommend the appointment and dismissal of senior officials, how much power is this?! Doesn't this mean that whoever you want to be an official can be an official?
But before they could think about it further, they saw the leader above flipping through the small notebook in his hand and continued to announce.
"The first Minister of Works will be Luo Dali, the current governor of Xingang County. He will oversee the construction of water conservancy facilities across the country, the construction and operation of railways across the country, the construction of various special projects, the repair of roads at all levels across the country, and the construction of key factories across the country.
"The first Minister of Rites will be held by Jiang Xuan, the current governor of Guanhai County in Qiongzhou. He will be in charge of the education of the whole country, including schools, printing bureaus, publishing houses, propaganda of official media, and the postal system and environmental protection system in the whole country."
When Luo Chong announced the appointment, everyone, including Jiang Xuan himself, opened their mouths in surprise. There are only six ministers in six departments. Such a big official was actually given to Jiang Xuan?
Isn't this man the former leader of the Jiang family? He is now just a small governor of a remote edge of Qiongzhou Island. If we talk about the population in the jurisdiction, any larger county town has a larger population than his county. What is so outstanding about this man that the leader actually gave him the title of Minister of Rites? However,
Luo Chong hadn't finished speaking yet, so they couldn't interrupt casually. They could only continue to listen. If they had any questions, they could raise their hands and ask questions after the announcement.
So they listened to Luo Chong continue.
"The first Minister of Justice will be Ying Rui, the current governor of Kaiyuan County in the grassland. He will be in charge of the country's public security, criminal arrests, arrests of criminals, publicity of laws, confiscation of property, as well as prisons and criminals across the country.
"The above six people are the heads of the six major departments. The appointment of the heads of the following branches will be discussed later. Next, I will talk about the appointment and removal of the heads of the nine academies."
After hearing this, the six people who were given official titles had mixed feelings, especially the three dark horses, which made people want to complain.
And those who did not get official titles all pricked up their ears nervously, fearing that the leader had not called out their names this time.
At this moment, Luo Chong flipped the small notebook in his hand and continued.
"First is the chief of the Supreme Court. Well, the chief officer of the nine courts is called the chief, and the deputy officer is called the assistant chief. The first chief of the Supreme Court is Yun Zhi, the current governor of Ruyang County. He has an overview of courts at all levels across the country and handles all civil lawsuits.
"Then there is the chief of the Inspectorate, who is Xue Qingyao, the current governor of Qiongzhou. He is responsible for inspecting officials at all levels across the country and has the right to investigate and report on officials at all levels. If there are officials who violate laws and disciplines, they can apply to file a case and initiate an internal review.
"There is also the Procuratorate, which is a public prosecution agency. It has the right to file public lawsuits in court and is responsible for verifying evidence. When the evidence is conclusive, it has the right to issue arrest warrants and search warrants to the Ministry of Justice. The first president of the Procuratorate is the current Weishan County Magistrate Lu Guangzhu.
"The Procuratorate, the Court, and the Ministry of Justice are collectively called the Three Law Departments. I will explain to you in detail the operating principles of the Three Law Departments later.
"Next is the president of the Central Academy of Sciences. This department can also be referred to as the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The first president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is Lin Fei, the current director of the Institute of Power.
"In the future, the three research institutes of the Han tribe, the Institute of Comprehensive Research, the Institute of Power, and the Institute of Biology, will all be merged into the jurisdiction of the Academy of Sciences. In addition, several other research institutes will be established to oversee scientific exploration and technological research and development throughout the country.
"There is also the State-owned Assets Institute. You Fu will be the first director of the Institute."
When You Fu heard this, he suddenly raised his head in surprise and looked at Luo Chong with an expression of disbelief. Luo Chong looked at him and immediately understood what he meant. You Fu's expression clearly said, "I don't want to be a director. I just want to run around. Please don't give me such an official position." Luo
Chong ignored him at that time, but added a sentence.
"The responsibility of the State-owned Assets Institute is to count the land resources, including measuring mountains and rivers, drawing maps of the world, counting forest resources, salt pond resources, lakes, and oceans in various parts of the country, and searching and exploring various minerals."
You Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then sat down honestly again, but said in his heart, "It turns out that the director of the State-owned Assets Institute is still a job of running around. That's too suitable for me."
For this department, other people didn't have much thought, so they didn't care much, and those who hadn't been assigned a position could only continue to listen to the appointment below.
"In addition, there is the Zongzhengyuan among the Nine Yuans, which is in charge of the clan affairs of the royal family, including the payment of royal family salary, behavior supervision, and punishment of crimes. For example, the director of the Zongzhengyuan reports to the emperor, who makes the decision personally. No department is allowed to interfere in the royal family's affairs, but they have the right to report.
"The first director of the Zongzhengyuan was Luo Ya. "
When Luo Chong mentioned this position, everyone lost interest in it. They knew without thinking that this was a position that offended people, and they couldn't manage many things at ordinary times. Moreover, even if they were qualified, they couldn't do it, because the managers were the clan members of the chief's family, so the managers themselves must be clan members of the chief's family.
And Luo Ya, that is, the original Shou Ya, Shou Ya is a veteran of the Han tribe. His father was the last chief of the Han tribe, and he must have a blood relationship with Luo Chong. And Dali is also. These are all the original members of the Han tribe, and they are a family connected by blood with Luo Chong, so now their official names, that is, the names registered in the household registration book, are all surnamed Luo.
It is precisely because Shou Ya is related to Luo Chong by blood and is Luo Chong's cousin, and Shou Ya's work ability is not bad. He used to be a diplomatic ambassador to the Xin tribe. Therefore, Luo Chong put him in the position of the director of the Zongzhengyuan, which can be regarded as making the best use of his talents.
“Finally, there is the director of the Health Center. The first director of the Health Center is Tang Ji, the former leader of the Tang tribe. He is responsible for overseeing the national medical system, such as the construction of hospitals in various places, administrative management, drug supervision, early warning and prevention of epidemics and other related work.
“There is also the director of the Academy of Culture and Sports. The Academy of Culture and Sports is the unit in charge of literature, art and sports competitions, such as making musical instruments, composing music, hosting sports events, etc., the distribution and publication of records, the creation and review of movies and other things.
“However, because there are no suitable candidates now, and the technology is not up to standard for the time being, this Academy of Culture and Sports will not be established for the time being. It will not be too late to set it up after we have the relevant talents and systematic teaching standards.
"In addition to this, there is also the Academy of Economics, which is responsible for the management of state-owned enterprises throughout the country, production and manufacturing tasks, as well as the corresponding allocation of resources, etc. The first director of the Academy of Economics is the current Liuyang County Magistrate She Xin.
"There is also a last bank, whose full name is the Central Bank of the Han Empire. The chief officer is the president, who is the current Heyuan County Magistrate You Ye. This central bank has the right to mint currency, the right to issue currency, and the responsibility and right to absorb private savings, private and industrial and commercial loans, as well as remittances."
"Okay, these are the main officials of the six ministries, nine institutes, and one bank
. If anyone doesn't understand the position or feels that they are not suitable for this position, you can raise your hand and ask questions now. Let's get started." As a result, as soon as Luo Chong finished speaking, several people raised their hands immediately, and the first person to raise his hand was Tang Ji?! !
Luo Chong immediately called her name, "Aunt, please ask if you have any questions! "Since he followed Tang Yao, he had to call Tang Ji aunt.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ji immediately expressed her opinion, "Chief, I don't think I'm suitable to be the director of a health center. I can't treat people. Such professional matters should be left to professionals. Since you are in charge of medical management, why don't you appoint Tang Yao to be the director?"
Luo Chong had already thought about these problems. After all, he was the one who chose the person. Would he not know what was going on?
So he listened to Luo Chong's explanation, "Aunt is too modest. You may not be a qualified doctor, but you watched Tang Yao grow up. It is impossible for you to know nothing about the medical industry. It is enough to know the general idea.
"Second, the position of director of a health center is a management position. It is responsible for managing hospitals across the country and supervising the medical market, not a doctor who treats patients.
"Aunt may not be a competent doctor, but as the former leader of the Tang tribe, she has experience in managing tens of thousands of people. Now she is only allowed to manage hospitals across the country. Aunt will definitely be able to do this job.
"As for Tang Yao, she is a genius in medicine. She is indeed outstanding in her professional field, but she is not a qualified manager. Talents like Tang Yao are only suitable to be placed in a medical research institute, where she can display her greater value."
Tang Ji was speechless when she heard this.
Well, she admitted that what Luo Chong said was right. She had watched her niece grow up. Tang Yao was indeed not a qualified manager, but a researcher obsessed with medicine. If she was really asked to manage hospitals across the country, there might be trouble.
In the end, Tang Ji had to admit that she was convinced by Luo Chong, so she nodded and sat down and said, "Okay, I will obey the leader's arrangement."
After hearing Luo Chong's explanation, the others also felt something. The leader really knew how to use people well. He always considered work ability, not the background of the person.
Of course, arranging an important position for Tang Ji could not rule out the intention of winning over the hearts of the people in the Tang tribe.
After Tang Ji's problem was solved, the other people who had raised their hands just now raised their hands again.
The newly appointed Minister of Revenue Dashu, Minister of Personnel Jing Yan, Minister of War Shuda, and Minister of Works Luo Dali, these four people had no problems. They were very satisfied with their positions and were also very clear about the responsibilities and powers of their departments. Instead, the Minister of Rites Jiang Xuan raised his hand. Not knowing if he had any questions, Luo Chong called on Jiang Xuan's name.
"Chief, I have a question. I saw it in this booklet. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of education, which means all the schools in the country, including students and teachers, as well as examinations. I understand this. Publishing houses and printing bureaus, I also understand this. It's nothing more than reviewing manuscripts and printing books.
"But this Propaganda Department, and the official media, as well as environmental protection and postal services, what are all these things? "
Luo Chong suddenly realized that this person did not dislike the position, but did not understand what his responsibilities were.
However, it was not their fault. After all, this was a department that had not yet been established. It was impossible for them to know what they knew.
So they listened to Luo Chong's explanation.
"The Propaganda Department is responsible for managing the media throughout the country. The so-called media is like the bulletin board outside your government office. There are often notices posted on it to tell the people what happened in the tribe. These notices are the official channels for our government to publicize to the people.
"However, this propaganda method is still the most basic. The more advanced ones are the official court reports, which copy the latest political decrees and important events that have happened recently into newspapers and send them to various places.
"However, the court reports are only circulated within the official circle and have little effect on ordinary people. But in the future, we will create newspapers for the people to read. We will set up a newspaper company to publish the latest news from all over the country in newspapers, and then use the latest printing technology to print them in batches and sell them to millions of people.
"These organizations that collect news, edit newspapers, print newspapers, and sell newspapers are called newspaper companies. In the future, our government, that is, under the Ministry of Rites, will set up such newspaper companies. Of course, private businessmen can also run private newspapers.
"The main responsibility of the Propaganda Department is to review the content of these newspapers to prevent them from spreading some evil and misleading remarks to the people. Newspapers are media and information channels. We should make good use of these media to guide the people's eyes and thoughts to the right path.
"The above are all the responsibilities of the Propaganda Department. There will be more responsibilities in the future. All channels that can be used for propaganda to the people should be controlled by the Propaganda Department. "
Next, I will talk about the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
"The Ministry of Environmental Protection is the environmental protection department. Its main task at present is to prepare for the establishment of an environmental protection system. For example, in our capital, every street in the capital must be cleaned by a special person.
"These people are employees of the environmental protection system, including street cleaners, public toilet cleaners, garbage transporters, garbage disposal workers, and the pruning, watering, and planting of trees and shrubs in the green belts in the city are also under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Department.
"In fact, you have all done this work in the counties below. There are also such cleaners in every city. The government pays some money from the treasury every month and hires old people from all over the country to do this, but there has never been a systematic management.
"Ministry of Rites, what is etiquette? It is politeness. Etiquette is the cultivation of a person's inner rules and morals, and it is also a reflection of appearance.
"What is environmental protection? Environmental protection is the appearance of the city. When a foreigner comes to the capital, he sees that the streets of the capital are full of garbage and the stench is everywhere. Do you think such a city is polite? The establishment of this environmental protection department is to maintain the appearance of the city.
"Of course, not only cities, but also the villages below should establish rules. Don't dig manure pits everywhere, but look for downwind vents to dig. Don't throw garbage around, it should be handled in a standardized manner. In addition, each family should sweep the snow in front of their own door. If you are not allowed to sweep the whole street, then you should always clean up your own door, right? These rules must be established.
"Another point is that all of the above are only temporary. The environmental protection department is not just a department that sweeps the streets. It also has to manage the pollution discharge of enterprises and factories. For example, some chemical plants will discharge toxic and harmful sewage and gases into the nature.
"People around here have contracted serious diseases and strange diseases after smelling these gases. There are also sewage, such as sewage produced by papermaking. If it is discharged into rivers or irrigation ditches, it will eventually pollute the drinking water for people and animals, causing people to become sick. Or the irrigation water will be polluted, resulting in a reduction in grain production, or toxic grain will be grown. Such enterprises, whether they are private or state-owned enterprises, will be severely punished.
"In mild cases, the business will be suspended for rectification, and construction will not be allowed to start if environmental protection standards are not met. In serious cases, the business will be closed directly, and the main managers will be held criminally responsible and will be sentenced to prison or labor reform.
"For things like this, the environmental protection department will also have to take responsibility in the future.
"The last one is the Postal Department. The so-called Postal Department is the postal system, which is actually for delivering letters. This is the official channel for delivering letters. In the future, we will open post offices in various places and hire postmen.
"The information transmission network of our tribe cannot only have the method of flying eagles to deliver letters. This is the official method of emergency contact, but what about the people who pass messages and letters to each other? The current solution is to establish a Postal Department to create a postal network specifically for letters or parcels. Post offices in various places will provide paid letter delivery services to local people.
"Of course, this is only the current Postal Department. In the future, if our scientific research institutions develop more efficient information transmission methods, the Postal Department may be reformed at that time."
There was another half sentence that Luo Chong didn't say. In fact, he had thought about it. If he could develop a telegraph or a telephone in this life, he would change the Postal Department into the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. In the future, people can directly send telegrams to pass messages to each other, which will make the transmission of information much faster.
"Okay, that's all about the functions of the Ministry of Rites. Does anyone else have any questions?"
Jiang Xuan, who asked the question at this time, nodded and said, "Thank you for the explanation, Chief. I have no more questions."
After answering this question, some people raised some questions about the specific functions of each department. The main reason was that there were many new administrative agencies and some new terms that they could not understand and did not know what they were for.
But these people overlooked an important thing, that is, Luo Chong secretly used the emperor's mind in the appointment of positions in various departments.
For example, the three chief officials of the three judicial departments appointed by Luo Chong just now, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice in charge of the Ministry of Justice is Ying Rui. Ying Rui was brought into the Han tribe by Luo Chong himself, and he was also a person who could stand on his own in the early days. In Luo Chong's heart, he was only a little bit worse than Da Shu.
Moreover, Ying Rui had been in Kaiyuan County on the grassland for a long time and was not familiar with the county governors of other counties, so he was a lone minister and could also be regarded as Luo Chong's man, so Luo Chong dared to use him.
As for Yun Zhi, the director of the Supreme Court, this guy was an ambitious villain in Luo Chong's mind. When he first joined the Han tribe, he used the bargaining chip of recruiting 50,000 people for the Han tribe to make a deal with Luo Chong, wanting to change a county governor of the Han tribe.
So Luo Chong made him the county governor of Weishan County.
But who knew that this guy was not honest? When Yun Zhi was the governor of Weishan County, he actually relied on the resources of the Han tribe to expand his own small circle and wanted to secretly expand himself, which Luo Chong did not allow.
So later, Luo Chong squeezed out his ability to win over the wild people, and then kicked him to Ruyang County as the governor. Moreover, this governor of Ruyang County has been in office until now. It seems to be a horizontal transfer, but it is actually a demotion.
This guy is narrow-minded and likes to envy and envy others. Let him become the president of the Supreme Court. He must have caught others when he got the chance. To put it bluntly, Yun Zhi is a vicious dog, a vicious dog that bites people without barking, and has a bad heart.
It is precisely because he is a vicious dog and he likes to bite people that he is suitable for a career in the judicial department. Isn’t this kind of career used to bite people? !
Finally, let's take a look at the president of the procuratorate. It turned out to be the second governor of Weishan County, Lu Guangzhu. When this guy first took over Weishan County, he was often tripped up by Yun Zhi before he left, and suffered a lot from Yun Zhi.
These two people are clearly enemies! ! !
As a result, Luo Chong made one of them the president of the court and the other the president of the procuratorate, and the other Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Ying Rui, was Luo Chong's man. This is interesting.
If Yun Zhi, this vicious dog, dares to bite people indiscriminately, then Lu Guangzhu, as his enemy, and the leader has the ability to verify evidence, as long as Lu Guangzhu does not nod and admit that the evidence is valid, then even if Yun Zhi is the president of the court, he can't convict and sentence people at will.
Yun Zhi is the vicious dog that Luo Chong released to bite people, and Lu Guangzhu is the collar tied to the dog's neck. As long as he dares to bite people indiscriminately, Lu Guangzhu can pull him back.
And Ying Rui, who is in charge of the Ministry of Justice, is the person who supervises the two of them for Luo Chong. It can also be likened to a trainer, the person who leads the dog for Luo Chong.
Although Luo Chong had never been an emperor, once he really reached this position, there were some things that he really didn't need to be taught. This imperial mentality was played so naturally.
