Chapter 227 The Cabinet
After the discussion among the people present, Li Yan pointed to the gate of Jiangcheng, next to the pottery warehouse, a newly built building with a courtyard.

Then, Li Yan solemnly said to the people present: "That courtyard is called the Yamen. If you encounter unfair things or difficulties in the future, such as being beaten or having your belongings stolen, you can go there to report the crime. Go trouble your village chief, there are government officials inside, they can help you."

After all, a civil guard captain from the police department walked up to everyone and said, "Hi everyone, my name is Jiang Jing, and I am the chief of the yamen. If you have any problems in the future, or if you are beaten, you can come to our yamen." We will bring the bad guys to justice!"

The captain of the guard spoke fluently and fully met Li Yan's requirements. The Yamen Bureau was only a civil enforcement agency. If someone made a serious mistake, they would be transferred to another department for punishment.

"So that's how it is. I just go to the yamen directly instead of the village chief. I understand."

"Yes, I understand too."

This time, everyone present nodded. For them, it was just a different place to appeal.

But to Li Yan, this has a very important meaning. Setting up a public yamen can greatly weaken the power of the village chiefs, and at the same time concentrate the power in his own hands. This is one of the means of feudal society's rule.

When laws are enacted, the masses are no longer confused.

Li Yan dismissed the crowd, and the next work will not need the crowd.

In the afternoon, Li Yan called all the department heads of the tribe to Tacheng on the mountain, and held a meeting under the totem tree, which can also be said to be a meeting of the ruling class.

For example, there are people in charge of industry and commerce, agriculture, military, foreign trade, and high-level officials of the original Taka tribe.
More than a dozen people gathered together and looked at Li Yan one by one. Li Yan's series of reform measures such as enacting laws and building an army all made everyone amazed.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Mu looked at Li Yan kindly, his eyes full of trust, and Jiang Mu said, "Yan, tell us, what are you calling us for?"

Since Li Yan was elected as Emperor Yan, Jiang Mu and Bai Wu had handed over the highest power of the tribe to Li Yan. Now, Jiang Mu's power has been emptied, and Li Yan, who has military power, is now a veritable king in the tribe.

Li Yan slowed down, and said, "Mum, everyone, I want to form a cabinet!"

"Cabinet? What is it?" Jiang Mu was confused.

Li Yan looked at everyone present, and then replied: "The people present are all the leaders of the tribe, and they govern the tribe together with me. Now, I have established many departments, and you are almost all ministers. Everyone manages the tribe. In one aspect, I am very familiar with my own governance work, so when major events happen to the tribe in the future, everyone can gather together for meetings and discuss major issues."

"For example, if the tribe wants to build a city, it needs manpower, food, tools, etc., so all departments need to coordinate."

"This cabinet is just a meeting, a meeting for everyone to discuss. After you discuss it, weigh the pros and cons, and then hand it over to me. If I think it's okay, I will approve it. That's probably what it means."

Everyone present was thinking when they heard it.

Soon, Jiang Mu nodded and said happily: "Yan, your proposal is very good, I agree!"

Jiang Mu agreed, and the rest naturally did not object.

Now, the determined departments are: the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, which manages the industry and commerce of the tribe, and the minister is Keban.

The Ministry of Agriculture manages the tribal agriculture, and the minister is Sakura
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs manages tribal diplomacy, such as trade with other tribes, and the minister is Yang Yan.

The military department manages the army, and the minister is Tamar.

The police department, the minister is a black witch.

The Minister of Construction is a Taka man named Jiang Jian.

The Beast Department is in charge of the tribe's breeding industry and the management of beasts. The head is Wen Shi.

There are six departments in total.

Li Yan paused, and continued: "In addition to the original six departments, I plan to add a few more departments."

Everyone looked at Li Yan expectantly. In fact, there are many people here who have not yet confirmed their jobs. Those departments were also gradually established during the development of the tribe.

Li Yan looked at Bai Wu and said, "Mother, you will be in charge of the tribe's finances in the future, that is, the Finance Department, which will manage the four major banks, and will also be responsible for collecting taxes from all parts of the tribe."

Bai Wu has been doing this before, so she nodded: "I understand."

Then, Li Yan looked at Jiang Mu again and said, "Grandmother, you are the most dignified in the tribe. I plan to let you be the minister of the Ministry of Justice. In the future, the Yamen Bureau will catch some people who violate the law and need to punish them. Leave it to you to judge."

Jiang Mu thought for a while, and nodded in agreement.

Then, Li Yan looked at a Taka man and said: "Uncle Ren, you were in charge of checking the entry work of each newcomer, you continue to do this, you are the head of the personnel department, responsible for counting the tribe's population, managing The population distribution of the tribe, and the work of newcomer slaves."

Jiang Ren nodded and agreed, he has been doing this all the time, and now it's just to confirm his identity.

Then Li Yan looked at Jiang Tu and said, "Tu, you have done a lot of work before, and I found out that you are also good at medicine. You will be the Minister of Health in the future."

"Ministry of Health? What are you doing?" Jiang Tu was stunned.

"It's about the treatment of diseases. I will build a hospital in Jiangcheng later, and integrate white witches from all ethnic groups to treat diseases for tribal people. When tribal people are sick, they will go to the hospital for medical treatment." Li Yan said.

"Okay, I should be able to do it." Jiang Tu nodded thoughtfully.

"There is also the matter of offering sacrifices, Mu, who do you think is the most suitable to find?" Li Yan looked at Jiang Mu. Rites are very important, they are the pillar of people's spirit. Conduct ideological and moral education.

"Yangyan's younger sister, Yanggu, she knows how to sacrifice." Jiang Mu replied.

The Yang Tribe was the first tribe to be merged with the Jiang Tribe. Half of the Jiang character in the current Jiang surname belonged to the Yang Tribe.

"From now on, Aunt Yang will be the head of the ritual department of our tribe, and she will be responsible for the sacrificial work." Li Yan said.

"Well, I will tell her." Jiang Mu nodded.

Li Yan continued: "Mum, I want to teach the tribe's children to read and write!"

"Writing?" Jiang Mu was taken aback, "Is it my bone inscription?"

"No, I created the characters myself, those simplified characters hanging above the factory gate." Li Yan said.

"How many characters do you know? Can you pass it on to the people in the tribe?" Jiang Mulian asked. Teaching words is not easy.

"I know a lot." Li Yan nodded.

"The characters you created are indeed simpler and easier to learn than mine, and I know some of them." Jiang Mu nodded, "Okay, go teach them how to learn."

The evolution of Chinese characters, from pictographs to oracle bone inscriptions, to bronze inscriptions, big seal script, small seal script, clerical script, traditional Chinese characters, and simplified Chinese characters, every change is an expression of progress.

Li Houying knew the traditional characters of the Han Dynasty, but Li Yan thought it was unnecessary to teach the traditional characters of the tribe.

Let people learn characters, it is to be easy to promote, easy for people to learn, any traditional characters will only cause trouble for himself, so Li Yan plans to use simplified Chinese characters as the future characters of the tribe.

But now, in the tribe, only Li Yan understands simplified characters. Therefore, before the establishment of the Education Bureau, Li Yan has to train a group of teachers and solve the problem of learning tools for the tribesmen. empty talk.
