Chapter 595 Cabinet Responsibility System--

And Liang Pengfei's hand is naturally a shock to the whole country. Many people who were not optimistic about Liang Pengfei are now gradually changing their views. Many people who call themselves Qingliu celebrities, also turned their eyes to Liang, who is now in power, under the inspiration of Yuan Mei and Zhao Yi, who are two famous people who have shocked the world. Peng Fei seems to be a little tempted.

And those who resigned because Liang Pengfei overthrew the Qing Dynasty and retired, it seemed that they wanted to see Liang Pengfei's jokes were also changing their minds. Through those who stayed in the officialdom, they seemed to want to be active again.

In 1799, at the end of the summer of the first year of the Chinese era, almost all the famous gentry in the country were invited to participate in the founding ceremony held in Jiading, the capital of the Chinese Empire. In front of hundreds of thousands of people in Jiading and those envoys of various countries, Liang Pengfei, dressed in a brand-new Hanfu, finally boarded the emperor of the Chinese Empire. The position.

Looking at the dark scene of hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial square, Liang Pengfei really had a sense of shock that his body and mind seemed to have soared to the sky.

However, the following various ceremonies made Liang Pengfei feel that his mother was simply suffering, sacrificing heaven and earth, announcing the establishment of the country, and meeting the envoys who came to watch the ceremony... From before the founding ceremony to the founding ceremony, Liang Pengfei was busy for more than a month without touching the ground. If it hadn't been for him. This figure is not bad. I'm afraid it's not finished yet. I'm afraid that the founding king of the country has been lying in the coffin to prepare for the funeral.

After the founding ceremony and accession ceremony, Liang Pengfei then built a political axe system, which should be said to be a transitional political axe system.

Liang Pengfei, the original three-provincial and six-ministerial system, has made certain changes. First of all, the original six departments have evolved into more than 20 ministries and commissions. For example, the original Ministry of Household has been split into the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture, etc. In addition, those directly affiliated institutions, just the names and functions of each department have been clarified. It took a whole year. In addition, Liang Pengfei also set up a special department: the parliament.

The parliament is also divided into the upper house and the lower house. The upper house is naturally selected by the well-known gentry, while the lower house is directly elected by the provinces. Of course, the part of the parliament is just a shelf, and the specific implementation, I'm afraid there is no way to complete it in ten or twenty years, and there will be even a longer time, but at least there is already a template. In the 18th century, there was a turning point in the political structure of Kyushu and China. In the words of some brazen guy, "I'm helping the Chinese nation take off!"

--------------------

The sound of light hoofs echoed, and two tall horses were walking elegantly, dragging a four-wheeled carriage between a cement road covered by towering ancient wood.

And a very conspicuous emblem is depicted on the door, representing that the carriage belongs to the premier's office of the Chinese Empire, and in the slightly empty car, Zhao Yi, who looked a little tired, and his proud disciple Wang Jing.

At this moment, Wang Jing looked at him nervously and closed his eyes, as if Zhao Yi was trapped in meditation. Teacher, thank you for your hard work during this period. Otherwise, I will tell your majesty and let you..."

"No, why, do you think I'm useless?" Zhao Yi rolled his eyelids, and his eyes were still clear and sharp.

Hearing this, Wang Jing couldn't help arguing urgently, "Teacher, that's not what I mean. Please don't misunderstand your disciples."

"Ha ha, I know, it's just a little joke on you. To be honest, I'm afraid I've been more tired and laborious in the past few months than the previous decades of my life. However, I think it's worth it. Anyway, I have to continue to do it and do it well. No matter what, I have to take my term of office. After finishing it, if the body permits, it will be impossible to join the prime minister again. Touching the long beard under his chin, Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows, and his tiredness just now seemed to dissipate with laughter.

The prime minister, who had been abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, was taken out by the Chinese Empire. Zhao Yi became the first prime minister nominated by Liang Pengfei, the emperor of the Chinese Empire.

In addition to the prime minister, there are also four vice-presidents. They form a prime minister's cabinet, which is responsible for the government affairs of the entire Chinese empire and is responsible to His Majesty the emperor. It is indeed lucky for the Chinese Empire to meet an emperor like Liang Pengfei. At least, he knows how to delegate power.

Moreover, what Liang Pengfei adopts is the cabinet responsibility system. First of all, Liang Pengfei has a large number of elites from all walks of life, called consultants. First of all, according to the situation of the country, a general assessment has been made, and according to the will of the emperor, some expected goals and development directions have been made.

After that, these will be handed over to the Prime Minister, and the cabinet formed by the Prime Minister will be responsible for the implementation. If the Cabinet has problems with this, it can naturally raise objections to the emperor. However, once it is confirmed, if it is not done well, it is the problem of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, and the responsibility will naturally be borne by the Cabinet and the Prime Minister.

And the emperor is equivalent to withdrawing from many things, coupled with the guidance of public opinion, then even if something goes wrong, the world's spearhead will only be aimed at the cabinet and the prime minister, not the emperor.

However, in this case, Zhao Yi, as the first Prime Minister, is very clear about the twists and turns in Liang Pengfei's belly, but he has to follow the road arranged by Liang Pengfei and is still willing, because Zhao Yi knows that such a political axe structure can force the infinite expansion of imperial power to a large extent. There are great benefits for the country and the people, so no matter how tired it is, it is worth it.

However, as the prime minister, Zhao Yi is also under great pressure. First of all, he wants to file a lawsuit with Liang Pengfei, the rogue emperor. For every government goal proposed by Liang Pengfei, they are competing for bargaining, and even the two have returned to the way they get along with each other in Guangdong. In short, it is common to slap the table and hit the bench. The thing.

Often the officials who have newly stepped into this political axe are stunned and drop their eyes and chins. However, it is precisely because of this that those cabinet officials are more and more impressed by him as the Prime Minister. After all, Liang Pengfei's fierce reputation is definitely not a joke, but Zhao Lao But the head dared to pat the table in front of Liang Pengfei. This courage alone is enough to make them throw themselves to the ground.

In the conversation between the two masters and apprentices, the car was already parked in front of a tall and white concrete masonry building, with three floors high. The Prime Minister's Office of the Chinese Empire, which covers an area of dozens of mu, and the ministries and commissions of the cabinet are located here.

About five miles north of here is Liang Pengfei's home in Jiading, that is, the palace of the emperor of the Chinese Empire. In this way, once there is any emergency, the Prime Minister's Office can deliver the news to the emperor in the first place.

"Zhao Xiang, you are finally back." Seeing Zhao Yi get off the carriage and walk up the steps, Finance Minister Wu Bingjian, who had already wandered at the gate of the Prime Minister's Office, quickly greeted him with a smile.

"It turned out to be Minister Wu, hehe, why, are you so anxious to know the news?" Seeing the person coming, Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty has agreed to your question about the circulation of silver and silver dollars. The mainland can suspend the circulation of silver dollars, but foreign trade must use silver dollars as the settlement currency."

Hearing Zhao Yi's reply, Wu Bingjian was obviously relieved. It's so good. In this way, we will not suffer losses in foreign trade, and in the mainland, we will not affect the lives of the people.

"Yes." Zhao Yi nodded: "Your Majesty's intention is good, but now is not the time. After all, it takes time for everyone in the world to accept silver dollars and cancel silver taels."

"That's the reason. Zhao Xiang, please come in quickly. At today's regular meeting, the ministers and several deputy prime ministers have arrived." As they spoke, several people entered the tall and towering Prime Minister's Office in the envious eyes of the people on the street.

"See? The one just now seems to be the prime minister Zhao Yi and Mr. Zhao. Tut-t-t-tight, I didn't expect that the ordinary people here could have such a blessing. An old scholar in a silk robe stroked his long beard with a satisfied expression.

"What's the matter with this? In the previous days, I also saw that the emperor came here." The other one put on a more bullish expression. Someone next to him suddenly came over and asked curiously, "What does the emperor look like?"

"I didn't see it clearly, because it was too far away. Those soldiers didn't allow us ordinary people to get too close. However, at that time, the emperor was wearing a black military uniform. Yes, it was similar to the military uniforms of those soldiers around the Prime Minister's Office, but it was more beautiful."

"Lao Wu, you are not talking nonsense, are you? Your Majesty, you can only wear black, bright yellow and golden. How can you wear black? One of them immediately retorted.

"Chee, Brother Liu, it seems that you are really old-fashioned. Do you know, our emperor said that since ancient times, the affairs of the world have changed from time to time. In today's China, we need to restore the open mind of the Han and Tang Dynasties. For the dignity and awe of the royal family, we only need the people to keep it in their hearts, and It's not to put it in the mouth, so the previous days have abolished a series of restrictions such as clothing, dress, hair and so on. In addition, Your Majesty once said that in the past, I had Hua Mulan joining the army on behalf of my father in China, and even the Tang Dynasty led tens of thousands of people to turn to the customs, captured Chang'an, and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's country, such as If they are all wrapped in their little feet, can they get on the horse and hold the sword?

"What? Good boy, emperor, isn't this changing the usual law of the ancestors? Is that okay?!" The old scholar who spoke at the beginning couldn't help blowing his beard and staring.

However, his words were immediately refuted by others: "Ancestors, whose ancestors, the emperor said, this is called a retro ceremony. He returned to the Han Dynasty before the Song Dynasty. At that time, no one in China, men and women, no one wrapped cloth on their feet. Everyone could hold knives, guns, paper and pens." ... Such a drama, in Jiading, in the Central Plains, in the south of the Yangtze River, and in more remote Chinese areas, are being staged one after another, arguing for every change, but at least the world is no longer as insensitive as before...--------------------
