Chapter 786: Examination House (Part 1)

"Your Majesty, do you want my concubine to be the executive vice-chairman of this trade union?" Liu Xue also considered this first, thinking that Wang Guorui wanted her to be the executive vice-chairman of the trade union, because she originally They are also the heads of the labor department. ▲∴▲∴,

But Wang Guorui shook his head and said, "No, I plan to let the union elect its own executive vice-chairman, and let those union members elect themselves, instead of me appointing them. If I appoint them, it will be easy to bureaucratize the union in the end. This will be a huge blow to the trade union. At that time, I am afraid that the trade union will not be able to effectively protect the interests of workers. I will even restrict the person who serves as the executive vice chairman of the trade union from owning any company stock, and the social relationship background must be You have to have a relatively distant relationship with the entrepreneurs, at least there are no entrepreneurs in your close relatives, so that you can become the executive vice chairman of the trade union."

Wang Guorui is deeply aware of the consequences of the bureaucratization of trade unions. In later generations of China, the role of trade unions has been much lower than that of the revolutionary period. The trade unions of that era, which represented the interests of workers, had been severely weakened and became largely subordinate to bureaucrats. The trade unions of later generations have been bureaucratized to a large extent, which is very unhealthy. Therefore, Wang Guorui did not intend to appoint the vice chairman of the trade union himself, and let them elect themselves. If you appoint yourself, it will definitely be affected by many political factors in the end, and there will be many problems at that time. And if you appoint yourself, it is easy to make people think that this is a bureaucratic organization, and it is easy to bureaucratize the trade union. Even if the appointment is made by the emperor himself, then in the end the executive vice chairman of the trade union is responsible to the emperor instead of really thinking about the workers. This is also an unhealthy situation.

Therefore, it is enough for the current emperor to be the nominal chairman of the trade union. The specific affairs should be handled by the person elected by the trade union itself, and the emperor is only the final referee. Therefore, Liu Xue will not serve as the executive vice chairman of this trade union. After all, she is also a concubine, so it is obviously a waste.

"Is the concubine not in the position?" Liu Xue asked helplessly.

Wang Guorui always arranges some positions for his concubines, which is beneficial to their physical and mental health, and also conducive to the harmony of his harem. Many emperors hoped that their harem would be harmonious, but in the end they couldn't do it. In fact, the very important reason is that those concubines are nothing more than fighting for favor in the court every day, and have nothing else to do. Their power and status all come from the emperor's favor. Then they naturally have to think about how to compete for favor. And the position of empress and concubine is also like a ladder, and anyone who is self-motivated will climb this ladder. The most important factor affecting this ladder is actually the emperor's favor. Therefore, whether it is from "career development" or gaining benefits from oneself, it is all about competing for favor.

Wang Guorui arranged work for the concubine, but in fact, it should be able to make them harmonious to a certain extent. After all, they all have their own affairs, so they don't make fighting for favor every day their top priority. Moreover, Wang Guorui's electoral system for the throne also solved the reason why they fought for the favor of their offspring, so they had their own jobs. And he didn't have the intention of winning the throne for the sake of future generations, so naturally there was no need to fight so desperately for favor.

But now Wang Guorui plans to remove Liu Xue from his position, which makes Liu Xue feel a little bit disappointed. Because other women have positions, of course she is not happy. In Wang Guorui's harem, status and status can no longer be judged by titles alone, and titles can't be completely counted in many cases. For example, Tanya and Natasha, they don't have any titles in the harem, but who dares to despise them? More importantly, it depends on their identities and the departmental responsibilities they have mastered. So if Bleeding is removed from this labor department position, that means her status plummets. Even with a queen title, it is difficult to guarantee her status.

"Don't worry, I'm going to let you be the director of the examination institute!" Wang Guorui said.

"The head of the examination institute?" Liu Xue was surprised.

Of course Liu Xue knew what the position of the director of the examination institute was, and the director of the examination institute was a very important authority. Because the Examination Yuan is in charge of the selection and appointment of civil servants and officials at all levels across the country, it is actually equivalent to the Ministry of Officials in the past. The Ministry of Officials manages personnel power, and although Wang Guorui stipulates that the prime minister and cabinet ministers and cabinet members are all elected by the parliament, the prime minister then organizes the cabinet to carry out administrative work. But Wang Guorui didn't mean to let them mess around casually. Wang Guorui still has the power to appoint officials at all levels in his hands.

For example, the positions of deputy governors and above in each province must be drafted by the Examination Institute, and then handed over to the emperor to personally sign and approve the appointment. The prefects of the provinces, the prefectures, and the principals and deputies of the halls and bureaus are also recommended by the localities, and then handed over to the Examination Institute for review. The final review was passed and the appointment was signed by the dean of the Examination Institute.

As for those officials at the county level, they did not completely let go of their hands, but let the Examination Institute set up examination branches in each province, and then the deans of the examination branches were elected by the Central Examination Institute, and then signed and appointed by the incumbent emperor. The deans of the examination branches of each province have the right to draft official positions such as county magistrates and county magistrates at the county level, and then hand them over to the Central Examination Institute for filing, but there will be no too detailed political review. However, if there is a problem with the appointment of officials by the dean of the examination branch, he can even be held accountable as appropriate.

As for officials at the township level, they were all appointed through internal discussions by the provincial examination branches.

It is conceivable that this examination institute is an important means used by Wang Guorui to clamp down on the cabinet, and this examination institute holds the power over personnel affairs. Although he cannot directly appoint the central officials, if the central cabinet wants to govern perfectly and implement its own ruling philosophy, it must cooperate with the Examination Yuan. However, the dean of the Examination Institute was appointed by Wang Guorui, so in the end, he had to return to a certain degree of political transactions with Wang Guorui. If the cabinet's policy does not meet Wang Guorui's wishes, or if it damages Wang Guorui's interests too much, then Wang Guorui can directly appoint the officials of the Examination Yuan to make the local officials obey his orders.

At that time, it was difficult for the policies of the central cabinet to be fully implemented. Perhaps at the central level, there would be great enthusiasm, but at the middle level, it was completely obstructed.

In later generations, there is a situation called middle obstruction. The superiors are very enthusiastic and the subordinates are also full of enthusiasm, but the middle management is obviously not enthusiastic and deliberately procrastinates. And in this state of obstruction, it is easy for good policies to be distorted, and then good policies cannot be implemented for a long time.

Wang Guorui is actually using the control of the executive level to contain the cabinet. Anyway, if the cabinet wants to implement its own policies well, it must reach an agreement with Wang Guorui. If no agreement can be reached, the cabinet can go to the He issued an order, but Wang Guorui could make him unable to carry it out, and it became a dead letter. Therefore, Wang Guorui controlled the executive level, so that the cabinet did not dare to completely bypass him for administration. But on the other hand, Wang Guorui also restricted the emperor's power to directly interfere with government affairs, and the specific administration must be carried out by the cabinet, which is also conducive to the balance of imperial power and prime minister's power. This is exactly the opposite of the feudal era. In the feudal era, the emperor made decisions and his officials executed them. But this is implemented by the emperor, and the cabinet makes decisions.

"The dean of the Examination Institute is very important. According to the five-year term of the dean of the Examination Institute, once I decide to appoint, the parliament and the court can only decide if there are various violations of law and discipline revealed in the middle. Recall the dean of the Examination Institute, otherwise the position of the Dean of the Examination Institute cannot be removed. So once I am appointed, I worry that within five years, the dean of the Examination Institute will betray me, so I am not at ease that the first term will be handed over to an outsider. So I plan to ask you to serve as the director of the examination institute, and prepare for the establishment of the examination institute." Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui, the first director of the Examination Institute, intends to let someone he can trust absolutely to be the post~lightnovelpub.net~ And the ones he can trust absolutely now are his concubines. After all, as long as these concubines assume the status of concubines, they are destined to be completely connected with the royal family, and they cannot be separated, and they cannot be shaken off even if they want to. So Wang Guorui can rest assured that Liu Xue's interests are absolutely consistent with her own, and she can't act whatever she wants. So it was a good choice for the first head of the Examination Institute to let her take charge.

And there is another most important reason, there is no one behind Liu Xue. Behind Zheng Hong is the army and the forces of the world, and Kang Tongwei also has some behind him, such as those feudal and corrupt forces. If Kang Tongwei is allowed to take charge of the Examination Institute, it may bring some feudal corrupt scholars back to the government. As for Chen Lin, her ethnic minority status is not suitable for mastering the examination house. As for other women, they are not qualified either. All the most suitable is Liu Xue. Although she was born in Nanyang Liu's family, this made her background innocent.

The Nanyang area has not been affected by corrupt Confucianism, and the Liu family's Lanfang Republic's great rule has been destroyed. It was hit by the Dutch back then and there is almost nothing left. In fact, the Liu family has no power at all. Moreover, the Liu family has no influence in the mainland and is not affected by the local forces in the mainland. In addition, there are not many interest groups behind Liu Xue eager for power and rent-seeking. Liu Xue, who has a relatively innocent background, is currently the only one who can hold this important position. people. (to be continued.) u
