Chapter 213 Ten Thousand Rivers and Mountains Open a New Face 17

[213] Ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains to open up a new face (17)

Hu Guangting said, "Chairman, we can repair whatever you say. That's not true."

Other comrades also agreed.

Yao Fan said: "At present, we need to set up a number of corresponding government agencies. I have considered that we need to set up various departments before the mechanism of the National Table Conference cannot be established for the time being. First of all, the first batch of institutions were established as follows.

Plenary meeting of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. This institution is used to unify and coordinate all the forces of the old regime, and our Socialist Labor Party will coordinate the relations between all parties and handle the affairs with the bureaucrats, intellectuals, famous scholars, enlightened gentry and businessmen left by the old regime.

National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. This institution, temporarily led by Li Hongzhang, is used to accept all non- proletarian patriots and establish the broadest united front.

Military Committee of the People's Revolution. I won't talk about this. The barrel of the gun has always been the foundation of the people's power.

Central Office. This institution is used to convey and arrange the highest instructions and work of the Party Central Committee.

The central general office has set up various ministries, which are the following institutions.

Ministry of Internal Affairs.

*.

Intelligence Department.

Statistics Department.

Disciplinary Supervision Department.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Ministry of Finance.

People's Bank of China.

Ministry of Trade.

General Administration of Publication.

Ministry of Health.

Ministry of Justice.

Ethnic Affairs Committee."

Because Zhongnanhai has not been rebuilt by the Qing government and the Beiyang government as in later generations, there is a lack of large-scale meeting venues.

For this reason, or other purposes, the plenary meeting of the Central Revolutionary Committee of the Provisional Government of the Chinese Socialist Revolution was privately set in the Taihe Hall by Yao Fan's subordinates.

Yao Fan did not agree at first, but considering that there were as many as 100 cadres at the meeting, and Taihe Hall, as the main hall for hundreds of years, seemed to be a pity not to take advantage of it. Selfishly speaking, Yao Fan also wants to sit in the dragon chair in person, even once.

There are four big words "jian ji sui you" hanging on the Taihe Hall.

Extremely, the central beam is represented in ancient Chinese. Only when the central beam is impartial can the house structure be safe. Jianji is to establish a formal and orderly government structure. Sui means to comply. You, representing the law.

The four characters "Jianji Sui" in the Taihe Hall were written by Qianlong, and the other was in time and space, he did not know where he was after Yuan Shikai ascended the throne.

Yao Fan sat on the chair under the plaque, condescending, looked around the rows of tables and chairs covered with temporary blue tablecloths and white chair covers in the Taihe Hall, and looked around at the comrades sitting in these tables and chairs.

But this chair is very uncomfortable to sit.

For 500 years, this is the most important chair in China. Sitting here means sitting in the world. But Yao Fan felt uncomfortable sitting on it.

Once, in the 2377 square meters of Taihe Hall, and even more than 30,000 square meters of Taihe Hall Square, only this chair was allowed. Nowadays, there are so many tables and chairs around it that this chair that has experienced 500 years of vicissitudes is no longer lonely.

The seven steps hold the throne decorated with 13 golden dragons, surrounded by incense burners and the treasure elephants with treasure bottles. The incense burner prays for the blessing of heaven. The treasure elephants heralds good luck in the world, and the treasure bottle means the peace of the country.

The chair is also uncomfortable to lean on. Although there is a bright yellow satin cushion embroidered with a golden dragon under the buttocks, the hard, concave and convex of the thirteen golden dragons on the back of the chair and armrest make people have nowhere to rely on.

Yao Fan resisted his awkwardness and told him: "Regarding the establishment and composition of subordinate institutions of various ministries and commissions, there are drafts here. Just follow the draft and implement them. You can also discuss amendments and add and delete them.

As for the election of department leaders, I think it is still necessary to mainly absorb progressive intellectuals. If some departments want to operate smoothly from the beginning, they have to bring in several old bureaucrats of the old regime. For these people, as long as they work diligently and are willing to contribute to the new regime, we will use it for the time being. We should properly discuss and decide on specific candidates during this period. In this regard, we can seek more opinions from Li Hongzhang and Ding Baozhen and appoint some patriots recommended by them.

............

With the formation of central departments one by one, the functions of the new regime have been improved day by day, initially having the prototype of modern government. Decrees have gradually been implemented in the liberated areas, but in general, North China is still under military control.

The old man's hair was gray and mottled. He was carrying a wrinkled face in the yard and looking at the sky and sighed.

Since the "glue thief" invaded Beijing, his family has never gone out.

When he experienced the chaos of Tianli religion during the Jiaqing period, the old man knew that those who rebelled were all outlaws. So far, the iron arrows of those believers who armedly attacked the palace are still poked on the Longzong Gate of the Forbidden City. Those people dare to fight in the palace. What else are they afraid to do?

At the beginning, the British and French allied forces entered Beijing and set fire to the Yuanmingyuan Garden, so the capital was full of soldiers and horses. There were bandits and robbers from the countryside who entered the city everywhere. They robbed things and broke into the gates when they saw them.

The psychological shadow caused by the two disturbances to the people in the capital is profound. Mr. Shi is no exception.

Now the old man ordered his family to put a broken jar behind the door of the courtyard, not to open the door, and the whole family was not allowed to go out.

Fortunately, he hid three months of rice noodles to drink at home in case of emergency. Now it comes in handy, which makes Mr. Shi feel that he is really wise, so he brings out his vision from time to time.

"If I hadn't known that the world would eventually be in chaos, the whole family would have to drink the northwest wind today."

"Dad, you are so wise." Shi Futing, the son.

"Dad, when do you think those glue thieves will leave?" Chuntao, the eldest daughter-in-law with black oily head, asked.

"Wen up! Don't mention these two words later. The old man said tremblingly.

About a few days later, there was no news that the city was in chaos, and the neighbors in the alleys also began to sneak into the streets and even visit. Everyone found that except for some soldiers in green military uniforms on the street, the rest were still as usual. The water carts still went into the city to sell water, the grain shops still opened to sell grain, and the carriage and horse shops were still full of people. .

Beijing people's favorite teahouse is also opened.

At that time, the old man felt that the wind had passed, so he decided to go to the teahouse to inquire about the news. That place has always been a place for gossip. For an ordinary person like Mr. Shi, who has no relatives, he can't think of any other place to get news except the teahouse.

Fuguang Teahouse is on the North Street, not far from the Xihutong where Shi family lived. The old man Shi entered here early this morning with his beloved little yellow bird accompanied by his eldest son Shi Futing.

The business of the teahouse is booming. In the past few days, people have been going out to find out for news. The teahouse is full of seats, and a group of people come in and out all day long, talking about the latest current affairs news.

After the master entered the door, he stood in the noisy lobby and waited for a long time before seeing the shopkeeper coming to greet him.

"Master Shi, you are a rare guest, but it happens that the seats are full now. Why don't you add a seat in the east wing?"

Master Shi didn't come here for tea on a special basis, so he nodded.

So the shopkeeper took Master Shi's little yellow bird and hung it on the iron hooks for a row of hanging cages in the inner courtyard window. He introduced Master Shi to the corner of the wall in the east, put two stools, brought a broken table from the backyard, and stuffed the lame corner against the corner of the wall to prevent the broken table from shaking.

The clerk quickly polished the table with a shiny cloth and asked with a smile, "Master, what would you like to drink?"

Master Shi said, "Give us two or six pieces of incense."

The man said with a smiling face, "Master Shi, the store is full now. It's not easy to make a seat for you. You only order six pieces of incense for that big man? Later, you can flush the six-star tea into eight times of water, so how will we live in the future when we open a teahouse? Nowadays, the soldiers are in chaos. Don't you want us to drink the northwest wind?"

Master tilted his head and said dissatisfiedly, "Then two more bowls of rotten meat noodles, and just go back for breakfast here."

"Hey! OK!" The man agreed with a smile.

After the clerk walked away, Master Shi pricked up his ears, turned on the wind-catching mode, and listened attentively to the comments of people from all walks of life in the teahouse. His son Shi Futing also looked carefully at the teahouse to see if there were any acquaintances he knew.

Soon, as several flagmen inquired about the tea and the tea in front of the idle man began to thicken, and everyone gradually couldn't control their mouths.

A middle-aged man in a gray-white coat said, "Fifth master, those revolutionary troops are now sitting in the court? So where is our former emperor now? Or do you want to set up a new emperor? There must be a ceremony for the new emperor to ascend the throne, right? Also, do you think the new emperor is Manchu or Han? Also, were these revolutionary armies used to be green camps? How can you wear green from head to toe?

"Bullshit Green Camp. I heard that they are all mud legs from Shandong. Speaking of those revolutionary troops, not only look at the color green all over their bodies. In fact, the green cloth is exquisite, and the green color is the most difficult to dye. I ask you, which dyeing workshop in Beijing can dye it? It is estimated that the bright oil cowhide belt with a copper head in the waist can only be one or two pieces of silver. The fifth master took a small hat and shrank his head to open the topic involving the emperor, only talking about the dress of the revolutionary army.

Someone on the other table is asking, "Master Ma, I heard that your boss is now in charge of the post and telecommunications department?" What the hell is that?"

Master Ma said proudly, "I heard that telegrams are learned, and telegrams are foreign things. I don't understand them. It seems that they are divine objects that can communicate thousands of miles! Anyway, it's quite divine. Now the students of Guozijian are making a lot of noise and are unwilling to learn foreign subjects. Today, they are annoyed that if they don't like to learn, they will get out of here. As long as the rest of the students are literate, they can go to the Tingku Hutong Lama Temple to sign up. The new science training class is set up in the temple. My eldest brother used to listen to ceremonies in the ceremonial department. If today, the court changed his face, he had to stay home. He felt that the telegram method was quite divine in all kinds of new science, so he went to sign up.

"Master Ma, you have only been crying for a few days. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will come back and cut off your old head?"

Master Ma said excitedly, "Bah, are you still pointing back to the emperor? Dream about you. These days, the royal palace has been raided everywhere. The public trial table outside the front door is judging corrupt officials and imperial relatives every day. After the trial, they are pulled out and shot. The rolling heads of the people are all former princes and senior officials in each government. Do you still dare to mention the emperor now? That's all the old almanac!"
