Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 458 National Economic Report 1885

  The next ten days

The latest news from London spread one after another. Former Prime Minister William Yurt Gladstone, who was in danger, finally set up the framework of an emergency cabinet through active activities. This is a product of compromise. The most striking example is the multiple cabinets. Important positions are assigned to other homes, including the post of Minister of the Colony Department.

The new colonial minister is a small party leader from Glasgow in the northern part of the island of England. This is a political faction called the "Northern England League". It has a conservative stance. Glasgow is adjacent to the Duchy of Edinburgh not far away and represents emerging city workers and capitalists. Interests is a very influential local political party.

  The Northern British electoral district is the weak point of the Liberal Party. The Northern Union of England can make up for this shortcoming. It can win more support in the official elections shortly afterwards, which is of vital importance to the interests of the party.

  Li Fushou didn’t have time to analyze these messy things. After carefully reading the latest report of the Political Analysis Office of the Secretariat, he swiped his pen and adopted their suggestions; he worked actively to strive for the best results.

  These specific matters must fall on the diplomatic representative Tang Shaoyi. The extent to which it can be achieved depends on his diplomatic skills. Of course, there are 50,000 pounds of sugar-coated shells.

The temporary cabinet set up by the emergency latitude in the United Kingdom will not exist for too long. Generally speaking, the formal election will be held in advance of 3 to 8 months, and it will not exceed a year. Therefore, it is not worth spending too much energy to tackle the problem. To lobby, the cost-effectiveness ratio is too low.

  If it hadn’t been for the advance team of the African Expeditionary Force that had landed in Mozambique and urgently needed the tacit support of the Colonial Ministry, Li Fushou would not be willing to spend £5,000.

  Look at the time it is late, it is approaching noon.

  Li Fushou stood up and strode out. Fu Peng, the guard captain on duty in the morning, quickly greeted him and asked; "Master, which yard are you going to?"

   "Don't go there, just walk in front."

"understood."

  Fu Peng followed with a few personal guards, and the secretary Li Sixian, who was on duty this morning, followed suit.

The   Lingxiao Pavilion was built on the top of the mountain. Li Fushou climbed down the steps and saluted the guards on duty on both sides of the road. He slightly bowed his head to express his salute, and quickly walked along the road to halfway up the mountain.

  Two rows of wide two-story stone buildings were newly built here. Each floor has a height of 6 meters. It is a traditional Chinese cornice structure with carved columns and painted buildings, which has an extraordinary momentum.

This is the Secretariat's political affairs room, which can accommodate nearly 300 people at the same time. The more than a dozen agencies under the Secretariat are all concentrated here. It is the central nerve of the entire Red Fort decision-making. , Its role is equivalent to the mini cabinet.

Each important government department has a corresponding bridging group in the Secretariat, and its management scope is far beyond the Queensland state, including Western Australia, South Australia, Shangri-La, Borneo, Sulawesi, and Somalia in the Horn of Africa. Follow up the governance measures, evaluate the effect, feedback to form monthly, quarterly and annual reports, evaluate the capabilities of officials and local economic development, and evaluate the pros and cons of departmental management, and finally form a report.

  The secretariat has no decision-making power, nor can it interfere with local governance, but it has the power of supervision and post-assessment, which poses a great restriction on local officials. It is the system specially set up by Li Fushou to strengthen the centralization of power, and the operation effect is good.

  Power must be restricted. It is not enough to rely on an audit office alone. It must be restricted from all aspects of law, administration, mechanism, supervision and review, and anti-corruption. This is also one of the duties of the secretariat.

  Today’s secretariat is a huge organization with more than 1,000 people, and no more than 300 people can work in the Red Fort. Most of the others are doing research in various places, tracking and evaluating on the spot, making inspections, and doing some trivial daily tasks.

  The research teams and inspection teams sent by the secretariat just watched and listened attentively, but they did not express any opinions, make any decisions, or interfere with local governance. They only exist as observers.

The arrival of Li Fushou caused a commotion in the political affairs room. Fan Zhongzhai, Tian Shan and other secretarial officials walked down from the large office on the second floor, greeted the door together, and looked at the entourage with blame. Li Sixian then asked respectfully; "Master Yuan Ding will be here, I am waiting for a long time to welcome, sin and sin!"

   "It's nothing, I just walk around and take a look, everyone can do things by themselves."

  "Follow the master's instructions, Zhong Zhai is not talented, please be your guide for Master Yuan Ding." Of course, Fan Zhongzhai didn't let Li Fushou squeeze beside Li Fushou, and glanced at the heads protruding from the windows with his majestic eyes.

  In a blink of an eye, these heads disappeared instantly.

"Um."

  Li Fushou faintly responded and stepped into the office building first.

At this time, everything in the political affairs room returned to calm, and every secretary was diligently doing his work. After Li Fushou and his party came to the front, they immediately stood up, hands down naturally and bowed their heads respectfully, for inquiries. .

  Walking all the way to watch, sometimes I have to stop and ask a few words.

Li Fushou is very satisfied with the orderly deployment of the secretariat. Fan Zhongzhai and Tian Shan are both very good assistants. It can be seen that the adjustment of the staff is very effective. The secretariat is not covered by the name of the "talent training base camp", it is indeed very interesting. .

  "Have the Jinshui River Basin Development Plan docking team summarized the relevant early stage conditions of colonization?"

"Master of the report, the report has been compiled. The Jinshui River Basin Development Plan was officially launched at the beginning of the year. For this major project, personnel, materials, and capital allocation were all in place according to the time node. Commander Nangong Yunfei personally took the front line. It is progressing in an orderly manner."

   "Well, how about the production of Koi Mining Bureau?"

"Report master, since the beginning of the year, the Koi Mining Bureau has imported 16 high-horsepower steam engines and more than 200 sets of diesel machinery, all of which have been put into mine production. The output of gold, silver, and copper has increased by 17% over the same period last year, and the output of iron ore has increased by 23. %, showing a gratifying growth situation. Since more than 870 Bison 350 heavy tractors have been successively equipped, the total number of tractor transportation teams has reached 1,375 sets, which has greatly eased the bottleneck of transportation and promoted the operating rate of Longmen Iron and Steel Plant from the original 26%. Increased to 57%, showing good social benefits."

   "Well, this Li Siyuan is still quite effective." Li Fushou nodded in recognition. He suddenly thought of something and turned his head and asked; "Zhongzhai, Li Siyuan seems to have an application for the establishment of a city report. How did he deal with it later?"

"Master, raising the administrative level is a very serious matter. It needs to be comprehensively considered from the aspects of economy, people's livelihood, social development, population and development prospects, and a detailed evaluation can be given before we can give opinions. We have formed a special research team and rushed there. Longmen Mining Bureau, has not yet brought back specific survey opinions..."

  "It is indeed necessary to be cautious. Since there are rules, we must abide by them, so as not to make mistakes."

“The master’s lesson is that the Secretariat has always been strict and strictly abiding by its duties. According to its own positioning, Longmen Mining Bureau strictly controls the region and has a strategic position. In fact, it is not suitable for vigorously developing the people’s livelihood economy. Therefore, we follow strict controls. Policy."

  "Li Siyuan is also a person who wants to do things. Don't tie his hands and feet. I'm really interested to see which step he can do?"

   "Uh...understood."

   "Let's arrange the procedure as soon as possible. Li Siyuan did a good job in Qingdao Town. He is a good seedling." Li Fushou casually ordered, attracting an enviable look behind him.

  This Li Siyuan entered the eyes of Lord Earl, and the future is very bright.

   "Yes, sir." Fan Zhongzhai respectfully responded.

  Since Lord Earl has ordered, then the approval process must enter the fast lane, all rules must be given way, and the Secretariat will be prioritized.

  This is not to say that you do not follow the rules, do not follow the procedures, and there will be no less processes, but to greatly increase the speed, from the original small step jogging to a rush all the way, with a green light along the way...

   inspected a circle

  Li Fushou walked out of the office building under the hustle and bustle of the crowd, the bright sunshine shining on his tall figure, he looked so extraordinary and outstanding.

"The work of the secretariat is very effective. I hope you will not slacken off, continue to work hard, do a good job of service decision-making, and do a solid job. The development of Queensland needs to move forward step by step, and the secretariat has played an indispensable role in it. Role……"

  After some warm words and encouragement

  Li Fushou asked about the most memorable thing in his mind; “Did the summary reports of the national economy come out last year?”

   "Return to the master, the report is generally formed, only need to add some necessary data. It is estimated that it will take another three days."

   "You don't need to bring them together. First, bring the finalized report. I will read it this afternoon."

   "According to your orders, the report on population, immigration and some large-scale backbone enterprises has been formed, and I will pass it to you for review."

   is related to the 1885 National Economic Summary Report. This is the top priority for the Secretariat after more than a month of busy work. Just gathering massive amounts of information has mobilized more than 100 people, and the workload is huge.

  The requirements are high, the tasks are tight, and the peak hours are staring. The relevant staff of the secretariat work overtime as if they are winding up the clockwork, and this comprehensive report has initially formed.

  Li Fushou is also looking forward to this. This is an important task he personally deployed.

It’s been 11 years since I set foot on the Brisbane Pier. This report on the national economy for the whole year of 1885 is a summary of Queensland’s development over the years and an overview of the family’s wealth. Lay a solid basis for future scientific decision-making.

  From this perspective, the importance cannot be overemphasized.

  Limited by conditions, the statistics of each year in the past are not comprehensive, and can only reflect the development status of a certain field.

from now on

The annual economic report will be implemented as a long-term work of the secretariat. For this purpose, the secretariat has established a special statistical affairs department, which is responsible for the summary and statistics of various social, military, financial, and economic data, as a normal work to promote, and persist in it. Persevere unremittingly.

  Throughout all countries in the world today, this is the only company that attaches so much importance to statistical work, and there is no semicolon.
