Chapter 999 Organizational Adjustment
Although the food, clothing, housing and transportation enjoyed by travelers are often more advanced than those of the imperial aristocrats of this era, such extraordinary treatment is not always available everywhere, especially after leaving Sanya, the living conditions in many places are actually relatively primitive. During the territorial period, they even had to eat and sleep in the open for long periods of time. For example, if you want to travel across the ocean to territories other than Hainan Island, you can only take a sailboat with a displacement of no more than two to three hundred tons. This is indeed a big test for travelers from another era. The journey is bumpy and windy. He said that the living conditions on the ship were also quite poor, and he had to stay there for ten days and a half a month or even longer at a stretch. This was really a bad experience. For business trips to distant areas, except for soldiers who lead troops to fight, most travelers will not take the initiative to apply.
The nature of Liu Shanxia's work is quite special. Whenever there is a large-scale infrastructure project, the Ministry of Construction must arrange for a technical person in charge to guide the construction. Liu Shanxia, as the second-in-command of the Ministry of Construction, is naturally the first to bear the brunt. He cannot let Tao Donglai, who has taken on a lot of duties, leave. Sanya went out and ran around. In the past few years, Liu Shanxia has traveled through most of Haihan's territory, and he is considered one of the hardest-working people among travelers. So Tao Dong didn't think there was anything wrong when he came to see him and set up a tea table outside the construction site to enjoy.
After all, this is already the seventh year of time travel. The total time Liu Shanxia has spent in Sanya is estimated to be less than twelve months. It is really not easy to be a contractor, and the executive committee does not have many measures to compensate him. All that can be done is to give Liu Shanxia as good a treatment as possible in terms of personal living conditions, especially when he is on a business trip.
"This time I am going to Taiwan on a business trip. The living conditions there may be difficult, so we will prepare a few servants for you to take care of your daily life and food. If you have any other requests, you can put them forward after you get there. The executive committee will try its best to satisfy the request as appropriate," Tao Donglai continued.
Liu Shanxia said: "Boss, listening to your tone, I've been out for a while and a half, and I still can't come back?"
Tao Donglai said: "You will definitely have to stay there for a few months, but you won't be there for a long time. When the infrastructure construction on Amborna Island starts in a few months, you may need to be transferred south... Hmm , maybe you have to go to Xingdao too.”
Liu Shanxia spread his hands and said: "You are the boss, you have the final say. I am a brick of the revolution. I can move it wherever it is needed."
Tao Donglai said: "One more thing, let me tell you in advance. During this celebration, the executive committee will make some adjustments to the functions and personnel of the departmental agencies, which will probably be announced in two days."
Liu Shanxia also understood what Tao Donglai meant, and said happily: "Then thank you boss first!"
The division of labor among Haihan's early functional agencies was relatively rough. One time traveler often held the positions of several departments. Naturally, this situation could not continue forever. Therefore, during this founding celebration, the Executive Committee will also organize the existing departments. The organization has made some adjustments. After all, Haihan is now a national rather than local separatist force, and the places that should be orthodox must also start to gradually get on the right track. Of course, this adjustment also includes a large number of personnel transfers and appointments, and everyone is happy to be promoted to a third level.
Tao Donglai has always been the top leader of the Ministry of Construction, but in fact he doesn't have much time to manage specific matters, especially design and construction. Liu Shanxia is almost always in charge, and Tao Donglai can only control things. After so many years, Liu Shanxia has no credit but hard work, not to mention that every piece of work he has done is a real achievement. The houses where the travelers now live were all built by the Ministry of Construction. In view of Liu Shanxia's achievements, Tao Donglai decided early in the morning to strengthen Liu Shanxia during this organizational personnel adjustment and make him the top leader of the Ministry of Construction.
The two people had a superior-subordinate relationship before time travel, and they knew each other's ins and outs after working together for many years. When Tao Donglai revealed it, Liu Shanxia understood his intentions. Although Liu Shanxia is not the kind of person who cares too much about fame, being promoted to a full-time position is considered to be above the court. If this position is placed in the Ming Dynasty, then it corresponds to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the second rank, and one of the most important officials. When writing family trees in the future, let future generations see that there is such a founding minister in their ancestors, and at least he can be compared with others. Rong Yan.
Tao Donglai raised his hand to look at the time, stood up and said goodbye: "Then you can finish the work at the construction site. I have to rush back to attend a meeting."
After bidding farewell to Liu Shanxia and returning to the exclusive meeting room of the Executive Committee in Fort Victory, the meeting was already crowded with people. In addition to all the members of the Executive Committee, the attendees were basically all the top leaders of various departments and major agencies. Even He Xi, who had just arrived in Hong Kong, was already present.
These leading figures of Haihan gathered here for a meeting, and the content of the review was the adjustment plan of various departments of Haihan. Because after the founding ceremony, various departments and agencies will start to operate in the form of a country, so these adjustments must be completed before the celebration.
Of course, this is not a temporary act. In fact, the relevant adjustment plan has been formulated a few months ago and approved by the Executive Committee. Most units have even begun to implement it to ensure that after entering the national state, these institutions functions can be smoothly transitioned. The purpose of today's meeting is mainly for final deliberation to see if there are any other revision opinions that need to be put forward by various departments.
"I believe that everyone here has their own things to be busy these days. It is not easy to find time to attend this meeting together. I will keep the story short." After Tao Dong came to Dianmao and saw that everyone was already there, he cut into the topic concisely. Main topic: "It has been some time since various departments began to operate according to the new arrangements. According to the understanding of the Executive Committee, there are basically no major problems. Today is mainly to bring everyone together and announce the official notice of the adjustment of agency personnel. Everyone If you have any other questions, you can raise them on the spot and discuss them immediately.”
Tao Dong came to see that no one here had any objections, so he opened the documents in his hand and began to read out the relevant resolutions and arrangements. There are no major changes in the functions of various departments and agencies directly under the Executive Committee, the main ones are adjustments in names and personnel. The Ministry of Shipping will also be merged with the existing railway and highway departments to form the Ministry of Transport.
The existing ones will be adjusted to include the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Culture and Education, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Health. Of course, the Haihan Security Department, as a special agency directly under the Executive Committee, is not included in the above-mentioned public ministries.
In addition to these, there are also some bureau-level agencies directly under the Executive Committee, such as the Post Office, Archives Bureau, Statistics Bureau, Religious Affairs Bureau, Press and Publication Bureau, etc.
This kind of adjustment cannot be said to be a big move, but for a "small country" of Haihan's size, it is not a small move. Tao Donglai held the document book and read for more than half an hour before finally coming to an end.
"The functional division of labor of each department is basically the same as in the past, and there are no major changes. The executive committee hopes that each department can complete a smooth transition before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and do not mess up just because the title is changed or the person in charge is adjusted. Square inch." Tao Donglai concluded word by word: "Everyone here is considered to be the founding hero of Haihan, and will definitely be remembered in the annals of history. What I want to remind you is the countless experiences of our predecessors. Lessons have taught us that conquering the world is easy, but defending it is difficult. Although our territory is still expanding, we have actually entered a state of defense since the day we were founded. I hope that everyone can adapt to this as soon as possible. With this kind of role change, we are no longer fearful foreigners, but the most powerful ruler in the Far East in the future! ”
Tao Donglai's words finally gave the slightly dull atmosphere of the venue a little life. Yan Chujie took over the conversation and said: "The mission of our soldiers to expand territory and protect our country remains unchanged. But I need to be here." Let me remind you that it took us seven years to occupy Hainan Island and some corner areas of the mainland. At this rate, it will take us thirty to fifty years to establish the huge empire we imagined before we traveled. After that. How many of you here are still alive and can enjoy this honor? I hope that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Executive Committee can increase the military budget so that Haihan can expand as quickly as possible. "
"Territorial expansion cannot rely solely on military means. Stable rule is more important than blind expansion!" Needless to say, the person who stood up to oppose the military at this time was Gu Kai, a famous anti-war figure in Haihan.
“To maintain a huge territory, we not only need a large number of naturalized cadres who are loyal to Haihan, but also need more convenient transportation and communication methods, a more complete legal system, and better management institutions. These conditions cannot be achieved by increasing You can get it with military expenses." Gu Kai was very dissatisfied with Yan Chujie's approach of seizing every opportunity to promote military theory, and immediately refuted him.
"You don't need to start an argument here. The main purpose of today's meeting is not to discuss increasing military spending or expanding the army." Tao Donglai saw that the two men were about to argue again, and quickly intervened to persuade them, lest they get distracted by their few words. .
Yan Chujie snorted coldly and did not offer a rebuttal, thus giving Tao Donglai face. Tao Donglai continued: "What we need in the future is not just the efforts of any one department, but the full cooperation of all departments. It is normal for everyone to have different opinions on the development path, but I hope everyone can face it. Current situation, clarify the conditions required for our development. In three or four days, you will be the true pillars of a country. I hope you can also take on the corresponding responsibilities, work together, and not ignore the country in order to realize your own political ideas. Benefits!”
Tao Donglai's words were very straightforward. Gu Kai and Yan Chujie looked at each other and turned their heads away angrily. Of course they will not give up their political opinions because of Tao Donglai's words, but it is not appropriate to continue arguing on this occasion.
Tao Donglai continued: "In the next period of time, everyone will work hard to organize the founding ceremony. During this period, everything will take the celebration as priority. The division of labor among various departments is also very clear. I am here I won’t waste time repeating it. Please remember that you are now the ruling class of Haihan State. The rise and fall of this country will also affect your family in the next few decades and hundreds of years. The rise and fall of the years. Your words and deeds today may be recorded by scholars and become the object of study by later generations. I personally hope that we can be remembered forever and become the founding fathers respected by future generations. Before the founding ceremony, think about why you participated in the time-travel operation in the first place, and what your original intention was when you came here.”
Although everyone's purpose in participating in the time-travel operation is different, it is undoubtedly everyone's common wish to become successful in this era. Seven years have passed, and some people have slowly lost their original vigor and begun to return to the lives of ordinary people. After all, most of the original participants were ordinary people. Although they came with ambitions, most of them lacked the ability to become high-ranking people. That kind of determination. When the primary desires of a peasant woman, a mountain spring, and a bit of land are realized, some people's energy is slowly worn away in a comfortable and stable life.
Not everyone wants to be a general on the battlefield, or a politician who attracts everyone's attention. Some people participate in the time-travel operation just to achieve the goal of becoming a master, and this is very easy to achieve in Haihan's ruling area. . Even if the time traveler does nothing, relying on the annual dividends from the Ministry of Finance, it is enough to buy a few large houses in Sanya, invest in a few plantations, and then be safely served at home as a big boss. Examples like this are not uncommon among time travel teams. In recent years, many people have gradually begun to leave their original positions and choose to become comfortable and free rich people.
People who are really willing to work in functional departments and use work to prove their self-worth are basically people who are still pursuing their careers. Their personal goals are not as simple as being farmers or apartment owners, but to become influential figures of this era, and to write their names into history and be praised by future generations. The last words Tao Donglai said were a reminder to them, so that they should not forget their original intention of abandoning their past lives and coming here.
