In addition to the propaganda team that went to the countryside, Du Wen also found some literary and artistic backbones from the communes - the so-called literature and art refers to those who can sing country folk songs, organized some writers to write propaganda songs, and taught them in Dongmen City or random The group went to the countryside to perform. [Full text reading] There is no folk entertainment in Lingao. In order to find programs that the masses like to watch, Du Wen even used the minds of monks and Taoists in several abandoned temples and Taoist temples outside the city - although monks are all monks, in the rich This place is obviously very different from a frontier place like Lingao. Although several temples were built by the government in the early Ming Dynasty, they have not been repaired for more than a hundred years and are in a dilapidated state. Seven or eight monks and five or six Taoist priests often live half hungry and half full. Du Wen recruited them all, and after entertaining them all for a few hearty meals, he asked them to make up a song to praise the people's declaration of love. Both of these are religious ballads sung by monks and Taoists in temples in the past when they went out to pray for alms. They mainly focused on religious stories and stories of karma and retribution, and played a role in encouraging good deeds. In the past, there were few folk entertainment activities, and listening to, singing, and preaching were also pastimes for the common people.
Now the song must not only have the content of advocating good deeds, but also include various "good deeds" performed by the public, such as relieving victims of disasters, caring for the elderly and helping the poor, cleaning up banditry, fighting against pirates, etc., all of which must be included.
Du Wen is not very good at literature and art. Fortunately, there are people who engage in folk arts in many Chinese middle schools across the country. They are invited to review the manuscripts. For good compositions, they will be paid one kilogram of rice for each piece. Especially outstanding three Kilogram. This price made the religious workers who had never had enough to eat very motivated, and soon they wrote thirty or forty pieces. Du Wen asked them to go to the countryside to sing and was paid one kilogram of rice every day. After having a full meal and receiving "donations" of cloth from the travelers, the monks and Taoists all made brand-new outfits and went to the countryside to promote the event.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of this propaganda offensive, the voices of time-travelers were heard everywhere in Lingao County, from the county seat to the most remote rural areas. Those villages that had a procrastinating attitude now have to reconsider their attitude, especially after the songs have infinitely promoted the strength and kindness of the travelers.
While the publicity campaign was being prepared for the "Political Consultation and Business Association Meeting", the Executive Committee also began formal organizational adjustment work.
Although the basic structure of six committees and four directly-administered groups had been formed before the crossing, several months of actual operations showed that. This organization is really oversimplified. As a result, many professional groups have appeared under various committees. Some departments are inevitably suspected of overlapping, and some have completely strayed away from their original intentions-the most typical one is public security. group, its function is now almost entirely focused on political defense tasks. However, public security was left to the so-called "Dongmen City Police Station" without establishment.
Another example is the current intelligence department. In theory, there is a professional intelligence and information group under the executive committee. In fact, most of the people in it have nothing to do with intelligence and are mainly engaged in technical data and historical research. Although the Guangzhou Dispatch Station is nominally their subordinate, it actually belongs to a separate intelligence department under the Executive Committee.
Obviously, this simple and crude system can no longer meet the needs of crossing the political power. This is the unanimous view of the Executive Committee before the organizational adjustment meeting.
"Everyone, we are now a political power. In addition to ourselves, we also have ordinary people. It is time to introduce civil affairs management institutions and methods." Xiao Zishan said at the meeting, "Systems like the Internal Affairs and Civil Affairs Committee used to only serve for time travellers. For service, such unclear authority is not suitable for future development."
"What do you mean?"
"I propose: split the NKVD."
Xiao Zishan's opinion is that the Internal Affairs and Civil Affairs Committee should be split into two departments. One, as the name suggests, manages civil affairs, that is, the management of the indigenous residents under their rule. The other one was changed to "Office".
"Office?" Someone was puzzled.
"I understand what Zishan means." Wen Desi said, "The so-called general office is responsible for the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of the people themselves, right?"
"Yes, in fact, I am in charge of these things now. But the civil affairs will become more and more arduous in the future. Ade needs a specialized agency to manage it, always in the name of the head of the labor group and the president of the commune. inappropriate."
Undoubtedly, this is great good news for Wu De. Once split in this way, Wu De will become the de facto Minister of Civil Affairs and one of the executive committee members. But now he only participates in the executive as the leader of the professional group. committee meeting.
Wu De didn't show any humility - because what Xiao Zishan said was very reasonable, and he himself had thought about this issue. However, he pointed out in his speech that his concurrent role as president of the commune could only be temporary. In the long run, it would be better for a local to hold the position of president.
So starting with this proposal, the executive committee held several small meetings, including not only the executive committee members, but also various groups and professionals. The discussions were very lively. Wen Desi made it clear in the organizational adjustment meeting that although adjustment is a major event, it cannot be at the expense of organizational expansion - now the Chuangchuang Group itself is still responsible for a lot of basic work, and if the organization is set up too much and too detailed, the final result will inevitably be terrible. Most people will be busy with administrative matters. And for a time there were not many qualified locals to fill various positions.
After several days of discussion, controversy and private negotiations, the organizational adjustment plan was finally released:
The House Civil Affairs Committee was abolished and replaced by the Civil Affairs Committee and the General Office of the Executive Committee.
Wu De served as the Civil Affairs Commissioner, with full authority to manage the indigenous residents who had submitted to the Chu government. Institutions such as the Bairen Commune, the Labor Corps, and the Reeducation through Labor Corps continued to be managed by him. The General Legal Affairs Department, the General Taxation Department, and the General Industry and Commerce Department were newly established.
Xiao Zishan serves as Director of the General Office of the Executive Committee. Responsible for all the life affairs of the Transcendental Society and the administrative and personnel matters of the Executive Committee. The general affairs group and IT group directly under the original executive committee were merged into the general office.
The Industry, Communications, Energy, and Transportation Committee was renamed the Industry and Energy Committee, which consists of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Metallurgy, and the Ministry of Light Industry.
The communications and transportation departments under the jurisdiction of the former Industry, Communications, Energy, and Transportation Committee were independent, and the Telecommunications Corporation and the Postal and Transportation Bureau were respectively established. The construction group that originally belonged to the committee became the Lingao Construction Corporation. The Water Bureau and Electric Power Company were newly established under the committee.
The Board of Agriculture is making no changes, while also explicitly authorizing it to operate food processing businesses. The Chuanchuan Public Canteen managed by the Ministry of Agriculture was handed over to the General Office, and the Labor Canteen was handed over to the Civil Affairs Committee.
The Foreign Affairs and Commerce Committee consists of the Foreign Affairs Department, the Foreign Trade Company and the Foreign Stations. Responsible for all external relations, including negotiations, trade, negotiations, etc. The so-called foreign trade refers to all foreign trade in areas other than Lingao that travelers directly participate in. The Guangzhou Advance Station is subordinate to the Committee in terms of establishment. The committee's agencies and members are also responsible for collecting intelligence information and are accountable to the Intelligence Committee.
The Planning Commission does not make major adjustments, but its Finance and Finance Committee is independent and becomes a separate department. The status is the same as other committees. Ma Qianzhu continues to serve as a member of the Planning Committee, and Cheng Dong serves as a member of the Finance Committee.
The Military Commission made major adjustments and formally established the General Staff Headquarters, the Teaching Corps, the 6th Military Headquarters and the Maritime Power Department. Among them, the Maritime Force Department of the Corps is not only responsible for naval affairs, but also responsible for all maritime affairs including shipping, fishery production, fishery management, etc. The teaching corps manages all healthy adult male time travellers, and uses modern weapons. Once an accident occurs and the indigenous troops cannot stay, the teaching corps will be mobilized. The time traveler militia within the military group formed its backbone in the past.
The Internal Affairs Commission was newly established as the overall command body to control powerful departments. The police headquarters and customs were newly established under it. The original security group was reorganized into the General Political Security Administration, and the internal affairs forces under the original military commission system were merged into the General Political Security Administration.
Cultural and Propaganda Department: It consists of a radio station, a printing house, and a publicity office. Officially given to Lingao Times for compilation,
Resources Department: Set up a remote resource exploration team, a large library, and a survey team.
Ministry of Education: Responsible for local education work.
Intelligence Committee: In addition to having the Foreign Intelligence Service, which directly dispatches and controls full-time intelligence personnel, it also serves as an intelligence coordination and analysis agency. Responsible for analyzing and summarizing intelligence information gathered from various aspects such as the military, foreign affairs and trade, and political security. The Guangzhou Dispatch Station is under the dual leadership of it and the Diplomatic and Commercial Committee.
This new system has relatively clear powers and takes into account the needs of all parties. Everyone is quite satisfied. Ma Qianju then struck while the iron was hot and announced that from now on, a project approval system would be adopted. No department would be allowed to launch any new facilities or projects without approval from the Planning Commission.
"In the previous stage, various ministries and commissions were scrambling to improve their office environment, build buildings, decorate, and purchase furniture. Everyone was preparing to enjoy the blessings," Ma Qianxu said with a sad look on his face, "How much labor was consumed , cement, bricks and tiles!”
"Comrades, I know that you have risked your life and worked so hard to come to this time and space, just because you want to have enough food and clothing, to be rich and glorious, and to work for the officials. Now everyone is living a happy and comfortable life, although it is more difficult, every day With a few plates of seafood and two cups of wine, my life is indeed quite good. There are also comrades who are thinking of becoming life secretaries. This is not impossible.
"But we must also remember the old saying: people who have no long-term worries must have short-term worries. The political power in front of us is just entrenched in a corner of the small county of Lingao. The pirates Zheng Zhilong, Zhu Cailao, and Liu Xiang are eyeing it, and it is only a matter of time before the Ming army comes to encircle and suppress them. There are all kinds of foreign bandits, we are sleeping on a volcano crater! Don’t take it lightly!"
Everyone looked at Ma Qianzhu with serious faces. He then spent ten minutes denounced the private establishment of clubs by the Army, expressing his extreme distress at such unorganized and undisciplined phenomena. The members of the Army did not expect that they would be pulled out by Ma Qianxu and used as live targets. All of them were dejected.
"Since more than 70% of the affairs of the Army Club have been completed, there will no longer be a requirement to stop work. But this will not happen next time." Although Ma Qianzhu pulled out the Army Club and criticized it, but unlike all the people like this It's the same thing, it's settled with Chinese characteristics.
