Dong Liang likes to communicate with his subordinates one by one before the meeting.

Any conflicts are best resolved before the meeting.

There is no need to argue with each other at meetings, as that is too inefficient and affects unity. Therefore, on the surface, Chinese meetings are all meetings of victory and unity.

In fact, this is exactly the case. At the meeting, each department basically reported on its work, and Dong Liang and the board members of the Renaissance Association listened to the report.

The Renaissance Association cannot be fully regarded as a political party. The board of directors is the top level of the Chinese community.

But Dong Liang hoped that the Renaissance would develop in the direction of a political party.

Because he knows that in the future, it will be the general trend for political parties to lead the development of government.

Lin Ben reported on the work of the Ministry of Industry. In the past year, how many factories they built, how many roads they renovated, and how many fortresses they built...

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce are the two largest ministries among the Chinese, one is in charge of construction and the other is in charge of business.

Chen Deli reported on the state-owned industrial and commercial operations managed by the Ministry of Commerce, and also pointed out some problems.

During this time two years ago, the Ministry of Commerce conducted a self-examination and dealt with a number of bad apples, but they were not eradicated.

The Ministry of Commerce also needs to explore a more stringent supervision model.

Liu Fengliang has just taken over the household department not long ago, but his reports are still very detailed.

This is Liu Fengliang’s consistent work style.

In addition to reporting on the current financial situation, the Ministry of Accounts also has another major event, that is, they are preparing to issue banknotes.

The previous shopping coupons were not banknotes, they were just directional exchange coupons.

The main purpose is to allow the common people to adapt to the form of exchanging paper for things. After all, most people have never seen using a piece of paper to buy things.

Now basically everyone has come into contact with shopping coupons. It will be much easier to replace them with banknotes.

The focus of the discussion at the meeting was still whether paper currency should be based on gold or silver.

This is very important. Before government credit has been established, the credit of currency lies in its ability to be exchanged for equivalent silver or gold.

In the end, the standard of the Chinese was determined to be silver, because the Chinese still needed to draw blood from the Manchus.

Then you can only continue to use silver.

Dong Liang means that Hube first tried banknotes on Toban Island and Ryukyu.

Wait until it matures before promoting it.

Dong Liang didn't know much about finance either. Since he didn't understand it, he just groped his way forward.

The work of the Ministry of Personnel mainly includes two parts, the selection and training of officials, work performance appraisal and disciplinary review.

In order to deal with the increasing internal violations of laws and disciplines, Dong Jin, the chief of Dong Liang's Ministry of Civil Affairs, established an Integrity Department and set up Integrity mailboxes in various places.

At the same time, we will increase publicity in various places to guide people to join in the supervision of officials.

The Chinese people are accustomed to being oppressed, and the idea that the people do not fight with the officials is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

It is developing so fast that it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will sneak into the ranks of Chinese officials, as well as some original Manchu officials and officials who still retain their previous bad habits.

According to the Chinese position, officials serve the people. But most scholars today feel that they are herdsmen on behalf of the emperor. Managing the people is like herding sheep, and anyone who is disobedient will be whipped.

Therefore, in order to change the administration of officials, we must first let these people understand what the government does. Officials are not parents but servants.

The Ministry of Justice is the most low-key among the Chinese tribes. Zhang Da led the Ministry of Justice to establish a refereeing system from top to bottom in the Chinese tribe.

In addition, the Ministry of Law also recruited a large number of legal talents, who drafted a large number of legal drafts and made great contributions to the construction of Chinese legal laws.

The medical department can be considered a low-key department, but it has done many great things.

Now the Chinese medical department has its own medical school and its own factory for manufacturing patent medicines.

Dong Liang actively promotes the development of traditional Chinese medicine and changes the situation of difficulty in using traditional Chinese medicine.

The medical department has also established a medical system that covers the entire Chinese community, extending from cities to villages.

According to Dong Liang's requirements, every village should have at least one doctor. Even a barefoot doctor is better than none.

This can be said to be a great initiative.

Moreover, Dong Liang also supported Shang Yun in creating the nursing profession and recruited women to study nursing in medical schools.

Without the support of others, this matter would never have been able to break through the shackles of feudal ethics.

The president of the academic department is now Chen Li, a great scholar from Guangdong. After he became the president, he actively promoted educational reform.

The original eight-part essay education was abolished, but Confucianism was still a key subject.

However, under the banner of the restoration movement, Chen Li advocated the establishment of a New Confucian system and changed the name of Confucianism to Guoxue.

He hoped to change the situation in which Confucianism had gradually closed itself off since the Northern Song Dynasty and restore the openness and tolerance of Confucianism in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Yang Yingying, on the other hand, focused her main energy on the construction of elementary education.

She is a woman who is good at dealing with children.

However, in addition to elementary education, the Chinese also run literacy classes in most rural areas.

This requires a large number of teachers, and the salaries and training costs of these people are a huge expense.

This is what Chen Li admires most about Dong Liang. No one in power has ever been willing to spend so much money on education.

Especially since the Chinese have not yet overthrown the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they are still in an unsafe and unstable state.

Many ANBU matters cannot be brought to the table. However, Sun Yanping still has to pick up some important matters and report them to the conference.

The Chinese gradually formed a convention that the top officials in the government must be elected from the directors of the Renaissance Association.

The major political policies of the Chinese people are formulated by the Renaissance Association and then handed over to the government for implementation.

Dong Liang also explained the work of the ANBU, that is, the ANBU should actively go out to establish overseas intelligence networks and strengthen communication and cooperation with the headquarters.

This will be a huge plan. The arrival of ANBU overseas actually means that the Chinese people have officially opened their eyes to the world.

But this thing is not easy to do. There are too few Chinese overseas. If a Chinese appears on the streets of Europe at this time, it will definitely attract people's attention.

At the meeting, Dong Liang also reorganized the center of the Chinese clan.

The Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Posts were newly established.

The Post Office was upgraded from the previous Post Office.

The stalls in this area are actually very large, and the business involved in the postal system is very wide.

Not only the traditional letter delivery business, but also item delivery, financial exchange, official reception, etc. It involves many industries such as postal service, express delivery, finance, and hotels.

They are even preparing to develop their own retail business.

Post offices across the country, like a network, are the carriers of these businesses.

The Ministry of Transport has spun off some of the functions of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry. These two ministries are already too large.

Transportation requires relatively efficient coordination.

In the future, the construction and maintenance of railways and highways will be handed over to the Ministry of Transport, and the shipping companies and maritime transport teams originally belonging to the Ministry of Commerce will also be assigned to the Ministry of Transport.

The Ministry of the Interior is responsible for internal security affairs, including police agencies and internal security agencies.

The Chinese have never had a specialized police agency. This responsibility was previously the responsibility of the local garrison.

The result of this is that it is too unprofessional, and many problems will occur in actual operation.

As the Chinese territory gradually increases, many government functions must become professional.

The police officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be selected from the garrison units in various places. In addition, some experienced police officers and police officers will be hired.

Dong Liang is planning to establish a special internal affairs police training institution to enhance the professionalism of this team.

And there is a bigger change this time, that is, Dong Liang is preparing to formally select a cabinet prime minister to assist the head of state in managing the administrative affairs of various ministries.

However, the Chinese prime minister has no power to interfere with military affairs.

The affairs of the army are under the responsibility of the General Headquarters.

The news of the election of the Prime Minister made many people within the Chinese community excited.

Dong Liang was not in a hurry to make a decision in the first meeting.

As for the general headquarters, Dong Liang appointed a deputy commander-in-chief so that when Dong Liang was away, someone would be available to handle military matters.

This choice was quite simple. Dong Liang directly appointed Kang Laoba as the Minister of Training and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Guards. At the same time, Kang Laoba was also the commander-in-chief of the militia.

At the end of the day's meeting, Dong Liang ordered an announcement to be published in the Chinese Daily.

He has always believed that ordinary people should be made aware of major foreign affairs, so as to enhance their sense of ownership.

Of course, newspapers have no confidentiality. The government can let the people know, even those external forces, what is mentioned in it.

Newspapers published by the Chinese have now been circulated to the outside world. Even Emperor Xianfeng read Chinese newspapers.

"Head of the State, if you throw out the bait of Cabinet Prime Minister, many people will not be able to sleep tonight. Who among scholars is not eager to be crowned and become Prime Minister?" After the meeting, Kang Laobao followed Dong Liang to the study for a drink.

Tea.

Among all his friends, Dong Liang likes chatting with Ba Ye the most.
