Beiyang reactionaries

Many people originally speculated that Duan Xun and Yan Huiqing had a falling out.But it shouldn't be, how much Duan Xun trusted Yan Huiqing before, how much he supported Yan Huiqing's work.Only now that the issues in Shanghai come out, everyone understands.

It turned out that Duan Xun had already thought about sending Yan Huiqing to Shanghai as the mayor of Shanghai.Yan Huiqing has always been in the field of education and diplomacy. If he can do well in Shanghai this time, then he has done all kinds of work, and the road ahead will be widened immediately.It seems that Yan Huiqing's becoming the mayor of Shanghai is not as good as the cabinet members and foreign ministers, but it is the right way.

With his qualifications as the mayor of Shanghai, Yan Huiqing can return to the cabinet in the future, serve as the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, and serve as the chief of some important departments without any problems.Without such qualifications, Yan Huiqing could only spend his whole life in the fields of education and diplomacy.Everyone immediately knew that Duan Xun's trust and support for Yan Huiqing hadn't changed at all.On the contrary, Duan Xun valued Yan Huiqing more than everyone imagined.

Not only Yan Huiqing, Duan Xun also sent Tang Shizun, his direct descendant in Beijing, to Shanghai as the deputy mayor and chief of the police station, and Lang Boyu, the director of the general office who was his secretary, was also sent to Shanghai as the secretary general of Shanghai. Minister of the Interior.

Just these three people are already very luxurious.

The emphasis on Shanghai can be seen.

This is not over yet, Duan Xun also sent Wang Boqun, the brother of Wang Wenhua, the commander-in-chief of the Guizhou Army, to Shanghai as the director of the Construction Department.This is Dai Kan's person.

Although Wang Wenhua was once an ally of the Cantonese Army, he followed Sun Yat-sen, and fought against Duan Xun.But since Duan Xun began to reorganize the Cantonese Army, Wang Wenhua's guardian Guijun accepted Duan Xun's reorganization.

A large number of generals of the Qian army defected to Duan Xun again.

There are plenty of capable people.Duan Xun didn't use them before, but as Duan Xun's position in the Beijing government stabilized, Duan Xun began to use these talents from other factions in large numbers.Because at this time, what Duan Xun needs is to gather as many talents as possible.

Wang Boqun is a very outstanding talent.

Of course, let Wang Boqun be the director of the construction department, and Duan Xun doesn't want to favor one over another.Dai Kan's people went to Shanghai, and Duan Xun sent Wu Dingchang, one of the generals of Yang Yongtai's "Politics Department" and the Deputy Minister of Finance, to Shanghai to serve as the director of the Department of Finance.

In fact, Duan Xun didn't like Wu Dingchang very much.

Because although this person is very capable, like everyone else in the Department of Political Science, he is a technocrat with excellent professional ability.But compared to other political science department officials, this person's personal integrity is not very good.Many of the officials in the Department of Political Science are technocrats, so although their political integrity has been criticized, they are considered to be a group of people who are in a hurry.But in terms of personal conduct, they are still very good, each of them is very clean, and they have excellent professional ability.

But Wu Dingchang is a person who does not distinguish between public and private, and uses his power to let his relatives amass a lot of money.Especially using one's own power to let one's relatives reach into those companies and acquire their shares.

Bad marks.

It's just that Wu Dingchang has a strong wrist in the financial field, and his ability is very good.Coupled with the support of Yang Yongtai, as long as he is not too much, Duan Xun will just turn a blind eye.

Now the Shanghai area is mixed with good and bad people. There are great powers, compradors, national capitalists, youth gangs, financial and bank forces, anyway.

To rectify the situation, a mayor with an international outlook like Yan Huiqing is needed, a ruthless police chief like Tang Shizun is needed, and a person like Wu Dingchang who has been in China's financial market for many years and has connections with various forces is also very much needed.

"I agree."

Dai Kan nodded.

Because Duan Xun gave Dai Kan enough face.Lang Boyu was born as Duan Xun's secretary, from Duan Xun's secretary to the director of the secretariat, and later to build the civil affairs system, as the director of the cabinet office, until this time as the secretary general of Shanghai.But Lang Boyu and Dai Kan had a deep relationship. Lang Boyu's father was Dai Kan's mentor, so Lang Boyu and Dai Kan were brothers.

And Wang Boqun is also a close friend of Dai Kan, and they were comrades-in-arms during the Revolution of [-].Although Wang Boqun is a revolutionary party and a member of the Tongmenghui.Dai Kan is a student of Liang Qichao and a member of the Republican Progressive Party.But at present, they are all from Guizhou, and they should need to help each other politically.

They all went to Shanghai to take up important positions, of course Dai Kan was satisfied.

"I agree."

Yang Yongtai also expressed his opinion.

Yang Yongtai is also very satisfied to be able to get a share of the action when Shanghai is upgraded this time.

"Prime Minister, what about some other positions?"

Wang Yongjiang spoke.

"Institutions directly under the cabinet departments can be recommended by each department. For other departments in Shanghai that are not directly under the cabinet department, let the new mayor of Shanghai recommend it after he takes office."

"kindness."

Wang Yongjiang nodded.

The three cabinet deputy prime ministers nodded at the same time, Liang Hongzhi immediately said: "Prime Minister, I think there is no problem with this list."

Looking at Liang Hongzhi's dog-legged performance, many people despise him.Liang Hongzhi far surpassed Duan Xun in terms of qualifications, and he was arrogant in his early years, and he did not know how many people he had offended.But look at what they are doing now in order to get promoted and get rich.

really.

After Duan Xun slowly built the cabinet according to his own wishes, things in the cabinet went much smoother.Opposition voices are dwindling.Of course this is just because it is just getting started.

There are bound to be disputes in human society.

When these people now stabilize their positions, future meetings will definitely not be as smooth as today.Because at that time, everyone will have conflicts of interest and will not be so amicable.

"Then the issue will be passed."

Duan Xun immediately made a final decision.Then he said to Liang Hongzhi: "Secretary-General Liang, after the meeting is over, submit the proposal of listing Shanghai as a separate city and appointing Yan Huiqing as the mayor of Shanghai to the Provisional Senate. Let the Provisional Senate review it as soon as possible, so as not to delay the normalization of Shanghai." Work."

"Yes."

"The first topic is over, and then we will discuss the second topic."

364 Institutional Reform 3

"Everyone talk."

On and off.

That is the case with institutional reform.

In the past, hundreds of years ago, in the county town, there were not many serious and well-organized officials.Except for a few officials appointed by the imperial court, the rest are officials, and there are not many in number.A few people manage a county seat, and then go down to the towns and towns, which are all managed by local gentry.Many departments of the imperial court also manage many things in one department.

But with social development, economic development, and population increase, there are more and more various departments.

There are many departments that have never been thought of before.

For example, the Ministry of Communications, and the postal services, telegraphs, and railways under the Ministry of Communications are all new departments. There was no such thing before.As well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, although there were similar departments in the past, they were all subordinate to the Ministry of Rites.The Ministry of Rites is a department that takes care of everything.

But look now.

Now a county government, starting from the county magistrate and even sub-divided into township governments, has a lot of staff.In the township government alone, there are branches of the police station, those in charge of collecting agricultural taxes, and those in charge of the township government's finances.The rapid expansion of government workers.

Don't say anything else.

Compared with the late Qing Dynasty alone, the current number of government workers has expanded several times.

But this is impossible.

why?

Because the current situation is becoming more and more complicated, and there are more and more things.After human society entered the industrial society, the government's control over local areas became more and more stringent.Therefore, there are more and more government departments and more and more government workers.

If the situation is as complicated as it is now, a department manages too many things and cannot manage it at all.You have a Ministry of Communications that manages road construction, road transportation, water transportation, railways, postal services, telegraphs, and even electricity and water conservancy for a period of time.

How good are you?

You are the chief and deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications, do you understand road construction?Do you understand railway construction?Do you understand the development of water transport?Do you understand postal construction?Do you understand telegraph technology?Do you understand phone development?Do you understand electrical layout?
