Section 5
Since many specific departments have not specified specific superior jurisdictions, a large number of department leaders looked anxious. ( ') Especially departments like Cheka: Originally it was an audit department and was responsible for "anti-corruption". It was considered a semi-powerful department. Yifan also planned to organize a "Cheka" law enforcement team to expand law enforcement powers. If it is directly assigned to the Ministry of Finance according to the new classification, it will be completely reduced to the Audit Bureau. Yifan's Cheka dream is nothing more than a fart. Moreover, there are rumors that after the establishment of the ministry system, various departments such as taxation, auditing, and customs will establish "finance and taxation police", which will be directly subordinate to the Ministry of Finance. In this way, their dreams of establishing secret service agencies or even armed forces were completely shattered.
Moreover, the characteristic of the large-scale ministry reform is the reduction of hierarchies. Many ministries and commissions were bound to be downgraded under the new system. To be honest, the elders don’t care about the issue of rank and treatment, but in this case, there will be many division directors and few ministers, which does not sound so majestic...
Next, the scope of jurisdiction under the ministry system is announced.
The Ministry of Finance basically continues all the units under the Ministry of Finance, including the Finance Commission, the Special Audit Committee, the Central Reserve Bank, the General Administration of Taxation, the General Administration of Customs, and the Monopoly Bureau. The original Delong Bank was changed into a commercial bank.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was merged into most of the institutions of the former Ministry of Colonial Trade, and the establishment of foreign stations was cancelled. Under its jurisdiction: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Colonial Affairs, and the foreign trade companies under the former Ministry of Colonial Trade were set aside.
The Ministry of Justice, which exercises the power of the Ministry of Justice, is also integrated into the court and procuratorate systems under the original arbitration tribunal.
The Ministry of Armed Forces was incorporated into the departments under the former General Administration of Military Affairs, and the former Special Reconnaissance Team Headquarters was changed to the General Reconnaissance Bureau of the Fubo Army. Taking into account the collection and analysis of military intelligence and the training and operations of special operations forces. Specifically, it has the following jurisdictions: General Staff Headquarters, Army Department, Navy Department, and Fubo Army Reconnaissance General Bureau.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism dissolved its original departments and established the General Post and Telecommunications Administration, the General Administration of Transport and the Ministry of Natural Resources. Integrated into the remote exploration team.
Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. It was directly restructured from the original Agriculture Committee.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Machinery Industry, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Metallurgy, and the Ministry of Light Industry.
Ministry of Culture, Science and Technology. It has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Culture and Publicity.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs and Labor, with the former Civil Affairs Commission as the main body, was merged into the Health Commission.
The People's Security Ministry has jurisdiction over the Police General Administration, the National Army Headquarters, and the Political Security Bureau.
The organizational structure and functions of the Planning Institute remain unchanged. Increasing the management functions of state-owned enterprises and state-owned assets is equivalent to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the old time and space.
The General Affairs Office is responsible for the daily work of the Central Government Administration Council and also manages the Foreign Intelligence Bureau.
In order to adapt to the upcoming series of actions such as the mainland and southern offensive, and to coordinate related military and civil affairs, a separate People's Commissar for Unification Affairs was established to take on specific tasks.
so. That is, the Cabinet meeting of the Senate is composed of the Secretary of State, 12 people's commissars, and a non-voting director of the General Affairs Department.
The arbitral tribunal is placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Senate and has jurisdiction over the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate. These two institutions currently only exist in theory. In actual operation, the representatives of the arbitral tribunal are still responsible. The original arbitral tribunal investigation and enforcement bureau retained.
The Great Library continued to be under the direct control of the Senate.
A new Senate General Office was established to take charge of the life affairs of the senators. In addition, it has the Organization Department responsible for the appointment and dismissal procedures of senatorial cadres; the Heraldry Institute, which manages the succession of senators and heirs; the General Guards Bureau of the Elders, which is responsible for the safety and security of senators; and the Senate Foundation, which is responsible for managing the property of the Senate.
Existing wholly-owned joint ventures established by the Senate are included in the list of "national policy companies". All are transferred to the jurisdiction of the Planning Institute.
The First Amendment clarifies: The three main powers of "fiscal budget power", "senior cadre personnel power" and "senior status determination power" are controlled by the Senate. Policies and resolutions related to these three items must be reviewed and approved by the Senate as a whole. .
Under the new system, the supreme power of the Senate was clarified and institutional guarantees were provided. At the same time, the Senate was exempted from the specific management of administrative matters. In other words, the Senate no longer interfered specifically except for deciding major policies and financial and personnel powers. Administrative matters. (
Although this system cannot completely satisfy the backbone of the Zhai Party. But it's still acceptable. In particular, it was clarified that financial budget power and personnel power lie behind the Senate. It is a big constraint on administrative agencies. As for how to change it, it can be more consistent with the "power of the elders" and effectively "prevent dictatorship". No one has a unified idea. It is naturally unrealistic to adopt a "one-vote veto system" like that of the Communist Party of China. As for the patronage system, no one dares to say that they are particularly capable and can support stronger vassals than others. In particular, some soy sauce veterans feel that if the patronage system is really implemented, the resources they possess will be completely impossible to compare with those in power in supporting private power. What benefits will it have besides allowing the existing people in power to further expand their power?
After Ma Jia's speech, the host Qian Shuiting announced that Ji Xin would read the "Draft on Discipline Regulations of the Senate." Although the senators are not legally bound by the laws enacted by the Senate, some internal problems that have been exposed in the past few years have made the Senate consider it necessary to establish a disciplinary system to regulate individual senators. It is clear that the "red line" that the elders cannot cross. There are thirteen articles in this discipline, which are the basic disciplines that elders must abide by.
In addition to reaffirming the strict prohibitions on betraying the organization, murdering senators, leaking senate secrets, and undermining the cause of the great cause, the discipline also clearly stipulates that senators must not infringe upon naturalized citizens and civilians without authorization or non-official behavior. Aboriginal persons and property; relations between senators and naturalized people and aborigines must comply with the Relations with Naturalized People and Aboriginals Act.
Next, regarding the prevention of elders’ job fraud, Ji Xin first reviewed the current corruption phenomenon among elders, pointing out that the characteristics of the elders’ job fraud at this stage are small amounts, non-cash, and mostly appear in the form of human relations. . The high-incidence areas of ** are currently mainly concentrated in the shipping, commercial trade, and construction industries. The main manifestations include accepting gifts and meals from naturalized people and indigenous people; issuing project contracts at will without going through formalities; selling and purchasing goods without following the bidding procedures; Employment procedures arrange and transfer work for naturalized citizens...
"...The Senate will not let go of any comrades who have made this or that mistake in the past, but will impose necessary disciplinary sanctions on comrades who do not stop after the third plenary session and continue to repeat such mistakes."
"This is a double-ruled rhythm..." Mei Wan couldn't help but say. He was sitting very close to Xiao Zishan. As the person in charge of a construction company, of course he knows that his company is the "hardest hit area". "It's a mistake to do more, but it's good not to do it."
"Mr. Mei, you can't say that," Bingfeng said before Xiao Zishan could say anything, "I think it really needs to be rectified. The trouble is too outrageous now: a girl is having an affair with a senator, the seventh aunt The eight aunts followed the chickens and dogs to heaven. Both the naturalized people and the natives were using this idea. They were not concentrating on serious matters and only thinking about how to run a business: those who had daughters wanted to give them to them, and those who were young and had no daughters hoped that the elders would like their wives and aunts. My sister-in-law..."
Xiao Zishan didn't hear the following words clearly. But these few words alone were enough to make him frown secretly. No wonder Ji Xin and others insisted on submitting the disciplinary regulations to the general meeting for deliberation when drafting the bill. It turns out there is such a thing! Speaking of which, it doesn't matter if a senator has more women: the more heirs, the better. At worst, the general office will take care of him. It will be bad if the atmosphere is ruined.
Although in this time and space, it is not uncommon for women to gain high positions, and social trends also recognize this. But the Senate itself had the ideal of transforming social atmosphere and establishing a "new moral" system. As the superiors, the elders must play a certain guiding role in this aspect.
Ji Xin's speech caused a lot of controversy. First of all, the disciplinary regulations made many people uncomfortable. It seems to deprive the elders of the power to do whatever they want, but most people think that this disciplinary regulation is still acceptable. After all, if a elder has no restraint, his arbitrary actions will also infringe on the rights and interests of other elders. Just as many elders once worried about elders not being held criminally responsible: Elders who are hostile to each other cannot harm each other, but they can harm the naturalized people close to the other elder - such as directly shooting the elder's life secretary. - to disgust the opponent.
It is now clearly stated in the disciplinary regulations that once a senator is convicted by the Court of Honor of the Senate, he is only exempted from criminal liability. Not exempt from civil liability. Disciplinary actions were also carried out within the Senate. After having a disciplinary record, there will be restrictions on holding public office and exercising elder powers. This greatly increases the cost of "mischief" for the elders.
The third part of Ji Xin's speech was the draft "Law on Relations with Aboriginals" that had been proposed by the elders a long time ago. It is now officially renamed the Naturalized Peoples and Aboriginal Relations Act. This bill stipulated in legal documents various civil relations between the elders and naturalized people and indigenous peoples. Of course, this legal document is only valid within the Senate and will not be published to the outside world.
The Relations Act first defined elders, naturalized people, and natives.
Elders are limited to those who were born in the old time and space. Those who are still alive, regardless of whether they have political power or not, will be included in the Elders' Chronicle, a total of 522 people.
Naturalized citizens are all people in this time and space under the governance of the Senate who have gone through the naturalization procedures, regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, or gender. All are naturalized citizens.
The "Relationship Law" divides naturalized citizens into three categories, who enjoy different political rights and civil treatment in turn:
The first type is the "family members of the elders", including: children of the elders who were born in this time and space; spouses of naturalized citizens with whom the elders have formal legal procedures or living secretaries who are living together; and adopted children of the elders who have gone through adoption procedures in the general office.
The second type is cadres and workers (including agricultural workers, soldiers and students) who directly serve the Senate and have undergone decontamination procedures. Those who are active outside the yellow zone and are temporarily unable to undergo decontamination can also be classified as long as they meet the above conditions. The second category of naturalized citizens includes purified indentured servants purchased by the Senate and slaves privately owned by the Senate; it does not include slaves imported from Southeast Asia and prisoners sentenced to life-long hard labor.
The third type is the natives of this time and space who are under the open rule of the Senate and have not been purified but have been registered as naturalized citizens and pay taxes normally.
Aboriginals, the people of this time and space who are not under the direct rule of the Senate are all Aboriginals.
The "Relationship Law" stipulates that if a senator establishes a marriage or cohabitation relationship with a naturalized citizen or indigenous person, he must report it to the general office; if he adopts a child, he must also report it in time. If he fails to report it in time, the Senate will not recognize his civil status. relationship reas;.
Elders can obtain slaves through purchase, inheritance, dowry, gifts, etc. However, slave tax must be paid according to regulations. Slaves were equal in status to indentured servants and fell into the second category of naturalized people. The Senate had the obligation to purify slaves and submit them to the review of the Political Security Bureau. Slaves are only allowed to be used for housework and not for production and business activities. Slaves may not be sold or transferred. After the senator no longer needs slaves, the slaves will be redeemed by the general office.
The elders can hire any purified ones. Naturalized citizens who have passed the political examination will provide family services. However, production and business activities are not allowed.
The senators are not allowed to accept donations from indigenous people or naturalized people, unless it is an official act approved by the Senate - the property donated also belongs to the Senate. rather than individuals.
Elders who privately sponsor naturalized people and indigenous people for a long time, or who privately recruit disciples, must report to the General Office and report the name of the recipient, family situation, content of the sponsorship, and other items. This shall not establish any form of master-slave relationship.
Unless performing relevant tasks and obtaining authorization from the Senate, no elders or elders' family members may participate in enterprises run by naturalized people or indigenous people in the form of equity participation, employment, agency, cooperation, etc.; elders and elders' family members may not interact with naturalized people or indigenous peoples Establish credit relationships. Individual elders are not allowed to open private enterprises, family members of elders are allowed to open sole proprietorships, and they are not allowed to operate jointly with others.
Xiao Zishan thought to himself that these regulations curbed the possibility of the elders cultivating their private power to a certain extent, and also left a way for the elders to make money with "white gloves" - the elders' family members could do business. What's the difference between being a senator himself and being able to do business? However, the prohibition of joint ventures with naturalized indigenous people has closed a loophole.
In fact, according to the views of some elders, these restrictions should not exist in cooperation with indigenous peoples. Only in this way can we integrate with the people of this time and space faster. However, the mainstream public opinion in the Senate believes that such cooperation without any restrictions will only cause the Senate to be quickly integrated into the vast sea of indigenous people - and the object of integration is the upper class of this time and space. This class in the late Ming Dynasty In the turmoil, he has proven himself both corrupt and incompetent. Integrating with them will only cause the Senate to quickly become corrupted and unable to achieve the purpose of transforming society. Therefore, certain measures must be taken to maintain the relative independence of the elders.
But there are many elders who want to create large financial groups and earn large fortunes. The dreams of future generations to become masters come to this time and space. In their opinion, ideals, honors or future political status are not as beneficial as earning huge amounts of wealth now. Since there are restrictions on them in running a business, there must be adequate compensation in other aspects. After all, not everyone is an idealist.
Thinking that Wu Nanhai, Hong Huangnan and Director Deng had all talked to me about the elders running their own businesses, Wu Nanhai had a modest plan and wanted to privatize Nanhai Cafe. As for Hong Huangnan, needless to say It's No. 82, which hasn't officially opened yet - it still bears the sign of the office. Director Deng’s idea is to have a private hospital in Guangzhou - but it will definitely not pass the test of the Senate...
Xiao Zishan thought. Perhaps these companies could be changed to be owned by the Senate Foundation? It is regarded as the common property of the Senate. This way you can use your brain when it comes to holding shares.
He also recalled that before the plenary session, Cheng Dong and other Caijinkou people held an economic work meeting specifically on the issue of establishing senior deposits. He also went to the meeting. In addition to the establishment of the Senate Foundation, the meeting focused on the issue of how to digest the dividend savings of the elders - currently the dividend number of the elders is just a number on the passbook, and there is a limit to the amount of dividends that can be withdrawn each month. Essentially, through the so-called dividends and compulsory savings, a large number of over-issued circulating bonds have been accumulated, making the inflation of circulating bonds less dramatic.
But in this case, the elders have a strong opinion: you can see it, but you can't use it. Moreover, savings cannot solve practical problems. The huge accumulation of savings is equivalent to a "tiger in a cage."
The general office opened a special store to sell female slaves from Europe and the Middle East, and approved Hong Huangnan's plan for store No. 82... In addition to promoting the welfare of the elders, it also had the meaning of consuming the elders' savings. However, the consumption of luxury goods on the current huge savings is very limited.
Therefore, Cheng Dong proposed at this economic work conference that state-owned enterprises should be allowed to issue non-cumulative preference shares to veterans to make full use of this accumulated funds to make up for the shortfall in the fiscal budget. On the other hand, it should also provide the veterans with the savings accumulated year by year. Find a way out for huge dividends.
"... Another advantage of this is to increase the sense of ownership of the senators. After all, we are already preparing to separate the ownership of the Senate from the state. Some senators will inevitably have a sense of 'I am still not the master of the country.' It can be effective through shareholding to resolve their emotions.”
Since state-owned enterprises can issue non-cumulative preference shares to their elders, the Senate Foundation can also use the same method to issue stocks to run enterprises... Can everyone participate in this No. 82 or something?
Xiao Zishan suddenly seemed to have discovered a new continent: By the way, all the life services currently provided by the General Office of the Senate for the elders can be commercialized - a joint elders service company can be established, and the elders can also participate in shares...
Just as he was thinking about a series of unfamiliar terms and figuring out how to use the elders' dividend savings to "support national construction," Ji Xin's speech had ended. (To be continued ~^~)
