Ming Zuo

Chapter 628 The Cabinet
Legislative work is progressing very smoothly.

After enduring the wanton oppression of the feudal dynasty, Shandong has already formed a consensus on the use of law to build political power.

More than a dozen laws were released one after another, which also enabled the Shandong regime to establish a clear order.

From then on, even if the common people are promoted, the rulers cannot punish them with a single word and bully them wantonly.

After the law is enacted, the next agenda is equally important.

That is the establishment of political institutions.

Only with the establishment of a political power can Shandong tap greater potential and enter the stage of striving for world hegemony.

Just because the regime was founded, stability is more important than anything else.

Zuo Menggeng announced the new regime structure in public at the meeting.

One of the most notable events was the abolition of the Executive Council.

Instead, there is the cabinet.

Everyone is familiar with the cabinet.

Because there was a cabinet in the Ming court, the head of the cabinet was still the head of civil servants.

Just when everyone was wondering whether Shandong was going to repeat Daming's old path, Zuo Menggeng revealed the body of Shandong's cabinet.

"From now on, the cabinet is the highest administrative body in Shandong. It takes charge of all administrative affairs, operates independently, and is only responsible to the Legislative Council."

There was an uproar in the meeting place, and many people did not expect that the Shandong cabinet had such great power.

Especially those who used to be officials in Daming were even more excited.

Although the cabinet of Ming Dynasty is said to be the head of the ministers, in essence, it is just a transfer station for uploading and issuing.

Without the emperor's will, the ceremonial inspector wearing red, and without the support of the officials below, the cabinet would be useless.

But here, the cabinet is really about to become the head of the executive.

Zuo Menggeng ignored the discussions below and solemnly announced.

"The chief executive of the cabinet is called the chief minister of state, referred to as the prime minister. He is in charge of all affairs of the cabinet and is responsible for all administrative matters."

As soon as this title came out, many people present were excited.

The prime minister who was once abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang and who was able to fight against the emperor is back again.

Although the name is slightly different, but judging from his authority, he is even bigger than the former prime minister.

The officials of Ming Dynasty fought against the monarchy for many years, but in the end they watched the imperial power grow stronger and stronger.The bitterness in my heart, who knows?
Unexpectedly, today in Shandong, the prime minister reappeared.

The difference between the prime minister and the chief assistant is one word, but the gap is heaven and earth, and it cannot be measured by morality at all.

Prime Minister, that is refreshing to hear.

As for the first prime minister, there is no suspense that it is still Hou Xun.

Under him, Li Banghua and Chen Zhi served as his deputy.

These three constitute the highest authority of the executive branch and are in charge of administrative work.

Li Banghua concurrently serves as the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Chen Zhi is concurrently in charge of the commercial department.

Zuo Xiang is in charge of the Ministry of Finance.

Jiang Wei is in charge of the Ministry of Industry.

Xue Fengzuo is in charge of the Ministry of Water Resources.

Xu Ruolin is in charge of the Ministry of Education.

Wang Yun is in charge of the tax department.

Liao Zhongjian is in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Travel around and serve as the Ministry of Defense.

Deng Yuhan is in charge of the Ministry of Health.

Lin Huiyue is in charge of the Ministry of Communications.

It can be said that the center is full of talents and talents, and the combination of the old, the middle and the young is very good, far more energetic than the daimyo court.

Some of these people are ex-officials and frustrated officials;
Some people are down-and-out scholars who escaped death;
Some people are ladies from all over the world, duckweeds with the wind;
Some people are ordinary people with no food or clothing.

But here, under the influence of the general situation, all of them have realized the value that they never imagined through their own efforts.

Watching these people walk towards the center of power, all the witnesses present resonated with them.

People from different backgrounds can find their own value in Shandong, which will definitely inspire more people to work hard.

The establishment of administrative institutions is very important and complex.

In addition to the center, there are places.

In the Legislative Council, a clear adjustment was made to the original administrative division of Shandong.

Zhang Zongheng from Jinan, Zhang Jimeng from Dengzhou, Fu Yusun from Qingdao, Gongduan from Qingzhou, Qu Shiqi from Dongchang, Huang Daozhou from Yanzhou, Xia Yunyi from Xuzhou.

In addition, Zuo Maodi from Anshan Lake Industrial Zone and Cao Wenheng from Jiaodong Industrial Zone.

These people are the first local officials and also members of the cabinet.

In addition to the appointment of the commander-in-chief, he also has the right to veto one vote at a time.But I believe that no official wants this matter to fall on his own head.

Because that would mean the complete end of his political career.

All of the above constitute the preliminary political system of Shandong.

Compared with Daming, the progress is not a little bit, but a leap forward.

In particular, officials are no longer obedient vassals, but truly have the right to independent administration.

This change will greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of all officials, which will be transformed into the efficiency of Shandong's development.
