Beijing. The Capitol of the Empire of China.

Beijing in midsummer is the hot summer. At the main entrance of the Acropolis, the solemn military police standing on the marble steps sweat like rain, but still stand like a javelin.

Before I could reach the entrance of the House of Representatives, the speeches inside were clearly heard through the microphone, electronic loudspeaker, and repeated strengthening in the hall, even through the thick teak door.

The annual fiscal balance is expected to be 109 million Huayuan..."

The new Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi told the story one by one, and the audience made low discussions and exclamations.

The changes in the Chinese Empire in the second year of Huaxing made the sidelines dazzled.

Since the public trial, a series of promotions, a triumphal military parade, and the military recovery of the ancestral temple, the third phase of immigration relocation has begun. But the most shocking thing is the series of administrative relocation and personnel arrangements announced by the empire: the Hezhong Governor's District is responsible for managing the areas from the northwest border of the original empire to the new western border Yilihai and the Enba River. The new Hezhong Governor is Lin Suren's Chief of Staff Zhao Qiming, the Deputy Governor and Chief Civil Affairs Officer of the Governor's District was Lin Jinwei, and the Hezhong Commander was Lu Zhenming, the former commander of the Zhongxianbei Liya Front Army.

The Governor of Central Xianbei Leather was established from east of the Yenisai River to the Lena River, including Anxi Province and Anbei Province. Zeng Qimeng, the former commander of the Eastern Xianbei Leather Front, served as the Governor, Zhang Huaming, the former governor of the Méng Gu Province, served as the Deputy Governor, and Zhang Pushun, the commander of the Western Command, was appointed by Zhang Pushun, the former commander of the Suzaku Cluster.

To the east of the Yulena River, it will reach the Bering Strait in the south and to the outer Xing'an Mountains to establish East Ontario, with the former governor of Chahar Province Mo Ming as the governor.

Dongning Province was directly established south of the Xing'an Mountains to Vladivostok, including Sakhalin Island, and former Tianjin Mayor Xu Shichang served as governor.

The commander of the Eastern Command was appointed by Marshal Xu Fan: the commander of the Southern Command was appointed by Kang Jian, the former commander of the Korean Front.

The imperial prime minister Liu Dingyi proposed his resignation, but he repeatedly tried to keep him but failed. The ruling alliance requested him. Zheng Yu made an appointment with the former Minister of Finance and the senior veteran of the Fuxing Party, Tang Shaoyi, formed a cabinet.

Foreign Minister Li Jingfang and Army Minister Nie Shicheng respectively submitted their resignations.

Minister of Industry and Commerce Liang Dunyan had submitted his resignation long ago, and this time he was dismissed.

This person who is ready to concentrate on party affairs and vigorously develops the Chinese Liberal Party and is preparing to show off his skills in the general election two years later. However, Zheng Yu strongly recommended the former head of the royal industry Xie Zhong.

In Zheng Yu's view, Xie Zhong was able to manage the extremely complex and huge royal industry kingdom in an orderly manner, which itself shows his organizational coordination and understanding of the modern industrial and commercial system. In addition, in Zheng Yu's plan, the major reform of the royal industry was about to begin, and many business models that were originally strictly confidential for strategic considerations and management mechanisms should be promoted. In other words, the industry and commerce of the entire country must replicate many models of the royal industry in a sense.

Whether it is ability or loyalty, who can compare with Xie Zhong?

In order to comply with national laws, Zheng Yu not only canceled Xie Zhong's position profit sharing according to regulations, but also repurchased his share in the royal industrial fund and paid the remaining profit sharing part of the years in advance. The amount of money is as much as Xie Zhong, but there is actually not much difference. Being able to control a domestic cabinet member and grasp the key points of a country's economic development is not a resistant one for Xie Zhong.

In addition, in order to meet the needs of the development of the empire, after repeated communication between Zheng and the cabinet and the ruling Lianpeng, it was decided to establish two new cabinet departments, the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Health.

The Ministry of Labor, Zhou Minggen, the former head of the Labor and Capital Relations Committee of the Base Camp, serves as the first minister. He is mainly responsible for coordinating the establishment of a social security system and supervising implementation, mediating labor disputes, investigating the actual situation of labor, and making reform suggestions. The Ministry of Health, Zhao Shuyuan, the former head of the National Health Commission, serves as the first minister. He is mainly responsible for coordinating the establishment of a national medical and epidemic prevention system, improving the layout of medical institutions, coordinating the state's investment in medical education and institutional settings, and coordinating the formulation of various policies in the medical and health field.

The final list of new cabinets is as follows: Imperial Cabinet General, Tang Shaoyi, Fuxing Party Member: Imperial Navy Minister, Xu Fan Fuxing Party Member: Imperial Navy Deputy Chief of Staff Lin Taizeng, Non-party: Imperial Navy Chief of Staff, Li Tianlin, Fuxing Party Member: Imperial Army Minister, Jiang Sheng, Fuxing Party Member: Imperial Army Deputy Chief of Staff, Cen Chunxuan, Fuxing Party Member: Imperial Army General Staff, Lin Suren, Fuxing Party Member: Imperial Police Minister Zhao Bingjun, Fuxing Party Member: Imperial Finance Minister, Li Dengyun, Fuxing Huan Member: Imperial Foreign Minister, Fang Shijian Fuxing Party Member: Imperial Commerce Minister, Xie Zhong, Fuxing Party Member: Imperial Central Bank Bank

Chief, Ma Xinyu, Fuxing Party Member: Imperial Minister of Transportation, Zhan Tianjue, Unified Party Member: Imperial Minister of Agriculture, Li Qingwen, Fuxing Party Member: Imperial Minister of Education, Wu Zhihui Constitutional Party Member: Imperial Minister of Propaganda, Yan Fu, Constitutional Party Member: Imperial Minister of Labor, Zhou Minggen, Fuxing Party Member: Imperial Minister of Health, Zhao Shuyuan, Constitutional Party Member: Imperial Minister of Interior Affairs, Li Hanchang, Fuxing Party Member: Compared with the previous cabinet, the so-called new members are not much of a change. Most of the so-called new members are also the original subordinates. However, out of satisfaction with the governance capabilities of the previous cabinet, this list has received widespread support overall.

For the future new China, China's people still have high expectations.

"The empire's current foreign exchange reserves, including gold, foreign currencies, and foreign government bonds, are equivalent to 800 million British list. The cabinet plans to restore Huayuan local currency to domestic and foreign exchange. The gold content of gold is 1 gram/yuan (7.32238 grams/yuan list). The specific matters will be listed in the revised "Huayuan Law".

A bombshell.

Since the amendment to the Huayuan Law in 1901, Huayuan has suspended the free exchange of gold, and the exchange rate with foreign currencies has gradually declined. Although the war has announced the resumption of free exchange after the war, it was considered to be a temporary measure at that time to stabilize the currency value. But now it seems that this matter is actually true!

Although the official Huayuan vying for the English list has also been adjusted to a level of 7.3:1, the price of the black market has actually risen to 8.3:1.

But now it seems that Huayuan is indeed returning to the official pricing!

"…The annual surplus of the empire will be postponed to the next year. The annual treasury bonds will be 200 million Huayuan, which will be the five-year construction treasury bonds issued in 1901, and will be repaid by the Ministry of Finance with a surplus. A batch of treasury bonds are planned to be issued within the year, with a period of ten years. The first phase of the Imperial Education treasury bonds of 500 million Huayuan, which will last for ten years, and will be subject to the Dutch-style bidding law." "…The above budget is a plan formulated by the cabinet in accordance with the draft Huaxing 15th Development Outline. I beg the national representatives to give it an assessment." After Tang Shaoyi finished speaking, he bowed deeply, and then looked at the audience with a serious expression.

"Is the annual funding of the theater reconstruction of 240 million yuan per year for two years?"

The first question was Yang Wanli, a member of the Liaoning Provincial Constituency and a backbone of the constitutional party.

"This amount has been discussed repeatedly by the Cabinet and the Reconstruction Planning Groups." Tang Shaoyi said, "The current plan is mainly to include the procurement of supplies and equipment, as well as the needs of labor for life. Several architectural design institutes in the Empire will undertake the reconstruction plan at a fair price, and the labor camps will undertake the main labor services for reconstruction. Relocation migrants and residents who apply for migration will also participate in the reconstruction, so the cost will be controlled to the maximum extent... The allocation amount of the plan is as follows..." "I have no problem."

"Will Tibet spend too little on reconstruction?" The speaker was a Tibetan Representative, a member of the Bali Party. He was born into a serf and was selected by the exam earlier. He studied political science at Nanyang University, the predecessor of Imperial University. After graduation, he has experienced many years of political dust and has become one of the few political elites among Tibetans.

However, Tibet Province is a province of tutoring that has not yet implemented comprehensive constitutionalism. The members of parliament were designated by the imperial emperor according to regulations, so this Gesang Gyatso is also considered to be a simplified person in the heart of the emperor.

"Tibet reconstruction must raise materials and utilize people's strength on the spot. The local labor costs and prices are low. In fact, this fund is mainly to purchase food, and then to renovate damaged houses from local materials. As for temples, the cost of rebuilding is difficult to calculate and may be revised in the future. However, please rest assured that the central government has always attached importance to the construction of Tibet and will definitely try its best to reduce the suffering of Tibetan people." "In the future, Tibet will unify the training system and be consistent with the provincial system of the Ministry that has not yet changed the training and constitution. Local government agencies only take the initiative and do not treat the Tibetan people badly. You can rest assured."

Since the annual government budget itself is part of the five-year plan, the two issues were left to the Congress to discuss together. Many members of the Imperial Congress frequently visited voters during the war to listen to public opinion. This time, the resumption of the meeting was obviously full of energy and wanted to gain dividends on the post-war political map. Many members of the parliament asked questions, although the words left enough respect for these "war heroes", the sharp words also made the media watching the battle excited.

Liang Qichao, the president of the Civic Party who was ridiculed by the Emperor and Han elements, was still calm: "...The reason why the empire's military supplies case was passed in the last time was that the army and the navy promised to reduce the war expenses. At present, the annual military expenses are still 500 million Chinese yuan. Cabinets, is this proportion too high? Today, Russia is resigned, Asia is settled, and the emperor's power is shocked. Will he fulfill his promise and turn resources to civilians?"

There was a sensation in the audience.

Many members of the military came from the same state had red faces and stared at Liang Qichao viciously. Although many people just opened their mouths and didn't make any sounds, the keen reporters knew at a glance that their mouths were nothing more than "Hanjiān", "traitors" and "traitors".

Tang Shaoyi smiled at the new Minister of Defense Jiang Sheng. Jiang Sheng took the microphone: "What Congressman Liang said is certainly very reasonable, but the times change. The empire's current military expenditure of 500 million yuan is really unreducible." "After this national war, the empire's newly expanded territory exceeded its original territory, and it was thousands of miles away. The empire had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of East Asia's peace, which was a long way to go." Jiang Sheng said, "Our land defense and coastal defense need to be re-planned... This budget has indeed undergone many cuts, which is already the minimum requirement for national defense..."

Jiang Sheng talked about the annual costs of each preparation of the national defense outline, talked about the reduction, and even compared the proportion of Germany and France's territory to the army to the empire to compare it with the empire, which shows how the scale of the imperial team is currently reduced without any reduction. In the end, Liang Machao had to express his approval.

The debate on the development goals of industrial and agricultural industries is even more intense. Representatives from major industrial provinces like Guangdong are focused on asking whether the investment support received by the industry is sufficient, especially whether there are more support policies for new territories. Representatives in semi-agricultural and semi-announced areas such as Chahar (Nei Méng) are concerned about whether the center will pay too much attention to the development of the new territories and reduce their investment in the Chahar region.

The representatives of Xinjiang not only demanded more reconstruction costs, but also hoped to implement more funds for agricultural reclamation and animal husbandry development, especially to improve water conservancy and water storage projects. At the same time, they hoped to increase the development of sodium saltpeter ore, expand exploration efforts, and accelerate railway construction. The representatives of Shanxi demanded that the development of Shanxi coal and iron resources be strengthened in the detailed construction plan..., and even required the consideration of the "Shenzhen-Shaanxi Industrial Zone".

Representatives of the Huanghan School required that "Chinese Grammar" be added to the cultural planning for ten years and all those who are over 30 who cannot speak Chinese are deported from the country. They also required that the immigration law be amended to prohibit foreign immigrants from entering the country "unless they have extremely outstanding special talents" to "pure national blood and avoid blood degeneration."

Although these proposals have received some praise, they have been directly criticized by many members of parliament as "absurd". The cabinet believes that these measures are unconstitutional and are not conducive to national stability and development, so it still adheres to the original strategy.

The most intense dispute occurred in land policy.

The Henan MP Ma Zili was the first to strongly oppose it. As the MP spoke, he felt emotional and his tone was choked: "......For so many years, everyone has built bridges and roads in the rear, donated money to new schools, and donated porridge and rice in disasters, and worked hard without credit. This time, the country was in danger, and the gentry donated money and grain for the national war, and took the lead in supporting the new policy. Only Henan gentry donated money and grain to be equivalent to Huayuan, and how many gentry children also joined the army. Now the national war is victorious, the whole country is joking, and the gentry is to bear unprecedented heavy taxes. Thinking about strengthening the rule of Chinese Wenjing, implementing thirty taxes and one country is strong. Now the empire is developing industry and commerce, building roads, strengthening education, and the country is strong.

The gentry had no objection, but the industry and commerce could reduce taxes, but the farmers were damaged. How reasonable is this? How appropriate? How difficult is the gentry? "The gentry is!" The representative of the 11th, Zhao Lifeng, was also full of resentment: "The country is short of money, and the gentry is willing to fund it. But these land are all the income from hard work of the ancestors, and they are not cheated or cheated. The late emperor said that rent reduction was reduced, and this was reasonable, and the gentry recognized it. The country prepared for war and increased the income of more than 20 acres of land per household, and the gentry also recognized it. But now the land tax of 20% is never heard of. The rent is at most 30%, and most of it has to be handed over to the country. So what is the meaning of this land? The gentry contributes money and efforts to the country, and in the end he drinks the northwest wind?"

These words immediately resonated a lot.

Since ancient times, there has been no distinction between officials and gentry in China. In the long-term bureaucratic society, the imperial examinations and the privileges of scholars have led to scholars taking officials as the highest way out, and using power to protect land to "transmit their families and establish careers". In the early and mid-term period of the prosperous town, a large number of intellectuals who were inspired by new ideas or joined the revolution for various hopes were almost all from gentry families, large and small, and closely related to the land.

Over the years, although many people have pulled out of the land due to the booming industry and commerce, most of them have a close relationship with the gentry class. At this moment, facing such a bill, there is a bit of sadness or sympathy. Not only some senators who are gentry themselves raise objections, but many non-senators have also come forward to support and believe that the case is "too much".

Not only these small parties, but also constitutional parties and MPs of the Liberal Party have been clamoring. Although many members of the Baxing Party are not able to openly refute the cabinet, the expressions on their faces also show their ambiguous positions.
Chapter completed!
