This work trip to the countryside was personally organized by the social work department that Du Wen was in charge of. Not only did he receive the support of Ma Qianzhu, but Wen Desi, who had always scorned Du Wen, also seemed very enthusiastic and expressed his "strong support." √∟, what kind of medicine are these two selling together now...
While he was doubting, he saw that the cat in vest had moved over with a speech in hand. Xiao Zishan's seat was in the second row near the intersection, so he sat directly next to Xiao Zishan.
Xiao Zishan knew that he was the next spokesperson, so he moved over to make it easier to get on stage.
"Director Xiao, have you come up with the plan for the chief executive to go to the countryside this time?" Ma Jia suddenly asked in a low voice.
"The Ministry of Social Work is arranging this matter, and the details haven't been released yet." Xiao Zishan didn't know why he suddenly asked about it.
The vest said "oh" and continued: "I heard that the scale of this time is not small. From the executive committee, director, director to researcher, as long as they are non-production and military front-line veterans, they will go to the countryside in shifts for a period of one By three months…”
Xiao Zishan was slightly surprised. The scale was so big? He originally thought that he would send a dozen elders into working groups to conduct research in the countryside.
"This scale is not small." Xiao Zishan suddenly became cautious. Why did Ma Jia ask him to tell him this? He changed the topic, "I don't know how effective this institutional reform will be."
"It's impossible to satisfy everyone." Ma Jia patted his portfolio with confidence, "It just needs to be acceptable to most people. In fact, everyone is fighting for a guarantee for the future. Well. Just talking about it is not enough, you also need to take practical actions - Speaking of which, you, the chief of staff, also need to keep pace with the times and build more villas. Otherwise, how will you arrange the maids? Comrades have opinions, that's for sure... "
At this time, Ma Jia saw that Yu E Shui had finished speaking and quickly clapped his hands several times. He stood up and said, "I'm going to speak first. Let's talk when we have time!"
Ma Jia’s speech was to inform the leadership group on the institutional reform plan drawn up. This is just a draft at the moment. Xiao Zishan has read this draft a few days ago: it is different from what most elders think. Institutional reform not only involves the central power-government system of the Senate-Executive Committee, but also involves major issues such as the operation of local governments and the distribution of power and finance between the central and local governments. In the past, these issues were not clearly stipulated, and there were only "interim measures." .
The first part of the draft is an elaboration on the status of the Senate, the relationship between the Senate and the country, and the relationship between the Senate and the government. This has never been done before.
Because it involves the state system and is equivalent to amending the constitution, it is also called the "First Amendment to the Common Program".
In the First Amendment, the Senate is no longer the highest legislative body of the country they established with their own hands - whether it is called the "Great Song Dynasty" or the "Empire of Mankind under the Rule of the Senate" - but is transcendent to the entire The highest symbol of power above the country.
"The Senate is the source of everything. It is the seat of destiny, the symbol of the country, and the embodiment of the highest power.
“The Senate possesses supreme temporal and religious power.
“The Senate is the supreme commander of the country’s armed forces.
"The Senate has the final authority in all matters
Ma Jia read out these gorgeous words sonorously and forcefully, and Qian Shuiting's heart moved. Isn't this Liu Xiang's statement that "the Senate is the emperor"? But here the Senate has been elevated to an almost "godly" position...
Regarding the specific institutional arrangements, the new government abolished the old Senate-Executive Committee system and adopted a new system.
Under the new system, the Senate was no longer a parliament, but served as the symbol and final arbiter of the country's highest power. The status is close to that of the "Conference of Experts" of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The President of the Senate is the supreme leader of the Senate country and is also the leader and symbol of the Senate. The powers of the President include the appointment and dismissal of the commander of the armed forces, the president of the arbitral tribunal, and the head of the cabinet; declaring war or an armistice; coordinating the relationship between the leaders of the country’s three power agencies; issuing letters of appointment when the head of the government has committed malfeasance or the parliament considers that his political Removing them due to incompetence, etc.
The president is elected by the Senate. The Senate holds an annual meeting every year to discuss state affairs and the actions of its president. The Senate may depose a president by a two-thirds majority if he is incompetent or loses the prerequisites for the presidency. The term of the President is four years. Can be reelected for one term.
The government implements a cabinet system and abolishes the executive committee system. The Secretary of State is the head of government after the Chairman. The Secretary of State manages the day-to-day work of the country through the Central Government Council, and he has the power to appoint several people's commissars. In charge of various specialized affairs. The Secretary of State is elected by Parliament for a four-year term. Can be reelected for one term. The People's Commissar is nominated by the Secretary of State and needs to be reviewed and approved by the Parliament.
The nomination, election and appointment of the Secretary of State and the People's Commissar are subject to the consent of the Senate.
All the ministries and commissions offices formerly under the jurisdiction of the executive committees were integrated into the Central Government Administration System, except for a few. Adjustment and reorganization will be carried out in accordance with the principle of large-scale ministries. In this way, the Secretary of State is the legitimate Prime Minister, and the People's Commissar is equivalent to the Deputy Prime Minister in charge. The Secretary of State can effectively manage and control various departments of the government, instead of having to deal with multiple departments as in the past.
The Shintoku Central Government Office is roughly divided into: Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Armed Forces, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ministry of Culture, Science, Ministry of People's Livelihood, Labor, Ministry of People's Security, and Planning Agency.
The Parliament is the highest legislative body in the Senate country and adopts a bicameral system. Currently there is only a House of Lords. Every senator who has reached the age of majority and enjoys full senatorial powers automatically becomes a member of the House of Lords and enjoys the powers of a parliamentarian.
The Parliament enjoys all the powers that the highest legislative body should have, such as the power to approve all treaties, agreements and contracts with foreign countries; to review the budget; to question and impeach the Secretary of State, People's Commissar and Ministers at any time, and to approve emergency measures that the government needs to take etc. However, any bill passed by Parliament must be approved by the Senate before it can become law. The Speaker is elected once a year and can be re-elected.
In order to ensure that parliamentary resolutions do not violate the Common Programme, the Senate has the power to supervise, review and veto all resolutions and proposals passed by parliament.
Regardless of the fact that this system is now just about "supervising itself and approving itself", the Senate and the House of Lords are the same thing in reality, but they have made institutional preparations for sharing power with naturalized citizens in the future, when conditions are mature in the future. , the Senate will retreat behind the scenes and exist as a "guardian", only grasping the general direction rather than directly intervening in specific government affairs.
The arbitral tribunal maintains an independent status and is not affiliated with the Central Government Affairs Council system. The Central Government Affairs Council has a separate Ministry of Justice to coordinate with the arbitral tribunal. As the supreme law and supreme prosecutor of the senate country, the arbitral tribunal is directly responsible to the president of the senate, and its chief officers are also appointed and dismissed by the president of the senate.
It turns out that the General Office of the Executive Committee will be divided into two, namely the General Office of the Senate, which serves the Senate, and the General Affairs Office of the Government Affairs Council, which serves the legislative and administrative agencies.
Under the new system, in addition to continuing to enjoy the power of the "Common Program", the senators also enjoy the power to automatically become members of the House of Lords. It is clear that the senators naturally have the power to manage any state agency, provided that the Senate as a whole controls him Authorization.
The First Amendment once again clarifies that the person, property, and powers of the senators are "sacred and inviolable." Except for the Senate, any infringement of the person or property of the senators by any organization or individual is deemed to be disrespectful and an infringement of the Senate. The crime of "disrespect" will be punished - up to the death penalty.
In order to fully ensure the needs of the succession of senators, the Heraldry Institute of the Senate, led by the General Office of the Senate, was established, which is responsible for studying and managing the continuation of the bloodline and title inheritance of the senators; designing coats of arms and family emblems for the senators; and registering the family status of the senators. ; Regularly publishes the "Journal of the Yuan Dynasty". At the same time, the "Law on Marriage and Succession of Elders" will be reviewed and approved as soon as possible to ensure the safety and reliability of marriage, family and inheritance of elders.
The First Amendment made the first clear distinction between the property of the Senate and the property of the state under the rule of the Senate. The Senate will establish a senior fund, and the income from the fund will be used to pay regular dividends on the senior shares. The source of the Elders' Fund is 20% of war spoils, commonly known as "one-fifth of the Senate"; it allocates some shares of state-owned enterprises and some of the shares of enterprises directly under the Elders' Fund to be established.
At the same time, it is clarified the regulations for individual senators to engage in commercial activities: Any senator with a formal position may not directly engage in commercial activities. Family members of senators are not restricted from engaging in commercial activities, but they must obtain approval from the Senate and pay taxes in accordance with regulations. It is not allowed to invest in naturalized or indigenous enterprises in any form, but family members of elders are encouraged and funded to engage in commercial activities individually or jointly.
The General Administration of Guards for the Elders, commanded by the General Office of the Senate, was established to protect the personal safety of the elders and their families.
…
Xiao Zishan noticed that everyone listened carefully to the issue of protecting the power of elders at the end, and some people kept sketching on the document, probably to highlight the key points. He noticed that the former directors and directors were somewhat eager to try. Needless to say, this major adjustment will bring greater opportunities to many people. The expressions of the executive committee members and ministers were different. People like Wu Nanhai, who are well-established and well-received by both public and private parties, will naturally sit firmly in the Diaoyutai; some whose reputations are average or who have too many replaceable talents will inevitably show anxious expressions. There were a few who were calm and there was no expression on their faces at all. The several elders working in the big library all have different expressions.
Yu Eshui's expression was relaxed and at ease - Xiao Zishan knew that the Grand Library had been defined as a "unit directly under the jurisdiction of the Senate". It will not be merged into the Central Government Administration Council. The Senate was unwilling to give up this huge technological advantage. (To be continued...)
