Section 4 Institutional Reform (2)

 This time the work in the countryside was personally organized by the social work department that Du Wen was in charge of. Not only did he get the support of Ma Qianzhu, but Wen Desi, who had always scorned Du Wen, also seemed very enthusiastic and expressed his "strong support". This

What kind of medicine are you two selling together now?

While he was doubting, he saw that the cat in vest had moved over with a speech. Xiao Zishan's seat was in the second row near the intersection, so he sat directly next to Xiao Zishan.

Xiao Zishan knew that he was the next speaker, so he probably moved over to make it easier to get on stage.

"Director Xiao, have you come up with the plan for the chief executive to go to the countryside this time?" Ma Jia suddenly asked in a low voice.

"The Ministry of Social Work is arranging this matter, and the details haven't been released yet." Xiao Zishan didn't know why he suddenly asked about it.

The vest said "Oh" and continued: "I heard that the scale of this time is not small. From the executive committee to the director to the researcher, as long as they are non-production and military front-line veterans, they will go to the countryside in shifts for a period of one

By three months…”

Xiao Zishan was slightly surprised. How big was the scale? He originally thought that he would send more than a dozen elders into several working groups to investigate in the countryside.

"This is not a small scale." Xiao Zishan suddenly became cautious. Why did Ma Jia ask him to talk about this? He changed the topic, "I don't know how effective this organizational reform will be."

"It's impossible to satisfy everyone." Ma Jia patted his portfolio with confidence, "It just needs to be acceptable to most people. In fact, everyone is fighting for a guarantee for the future.

Well, it’s not enough to just talk, you have to take practical actions. Speaking of which, you, the chief of staff, also need to keep pace with the times and build more villas. Otherwise, how will you arrange the maids? Comrades have opinions, that’s for sure...

"

At this time, Ma Jia saw that Yu Eshui had finished speaking, and quickly clapped his hands a few times. He stood up and said, "I'm going to speak first. Let's talk when we have time!"

Ma Jia's speech was a briefing on the institutional reform plan drawn up by the leadership group. At present, this is only a draft. Xiao Zishan has read this draft a few days ago: It is different from what most elders think. Institutional reform not only involves the Senate-Executive Committee

This central power-government system also involves major issues such as the operation of local governments and the distribution of power and finance between the central and local governments. These issues were not clearly defined in the past, only "interim measures."

The first part of the draft is an elaboration on the status of the Senate, the relationship between the Senate and the country, and the relationship between the Senate and the government. This has never been done before.

Because it involves the state system and is equivalent to amending the constitution, it is also called the "First Amendment to the Common Program".

In the First Amendment, the Senate is no longer the highest legislative body of the country they established with their own hands - whether it is called the "Great Song Dynasty" or the "Human Empire under the Rule of the Senate" - but is transcendent to the entire

The highest symbol of power above the country.

"The Senate is the source of everything and the seat of destiny. It is the symbol of the country and the embodiment of the highest power.

"The Senate possesses supreme temporal and religious power.

"The Senate is the supreme commander of the country's armed forces.

"The Senate has the final authority in all matters

Ma Jia read out these gorgeous words sonorously and powerfully, and Qian Shuiting's heart moved. Isn't this Liu Xiang's statement that "the Senate is the emperor"? But here, the Senate is elevated to an almost "god" position...



Regarding the specific institutional arrangements, the new government abolished the old Senate-Executive Committee system and adopted a new system.

Under the new system, the Senate is no longer a parliament. Instead, it serves as the symbol and final arbiter of the country's highest power, with a status similar to that of the "Assembly of Experts" in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The President of the Senate is the supreme leader of the Senate country, and is also the leader and symbol of the Senate. The authority of the President includes appointing and removing the commander of the armed forces, the president of the arbitral tribunal, and the head of the cabinet; declaring war or an armistice; and coordinating the leadership of the country’s three powers institutions.

relationships between people; issuing letters of appointment, removing heads of government if they commit malfeasance or if the parliament deems them politically incompetent, etc.

The president is elected by the Senate. The Senate holds an annual meeting every year to discuss state affairs and the behavior of the president. The Senate can depose the president with a two-thirds majority when the president is incompetent or loses the necessary conditions for the presidency. The term of office of the president

The term is four years, renewable for one term.

The government implements a cabinet system and abolishes the executive committee system. The Secretary of State is the head of government after the Chairman. The Secretary of State manages the daily work of the country through the Central Government Administration Council. He has the power to appoint several people's committee members and is in charge of various specialized affairs. The Secretary of State is elected by the parliament.

The term of office is four years and can be re-elected for one term. The People's Commissar is nominated by the Secretary of State and needs to be reviewed and approved by the parliament.

The nomination, election and appointment of the Secretary of State and People's Commissar require the consent of the Senate.

All ministries and commissions that were formerly in charge of the executive committees, except for a few, were integrated into the Central Government Affairs Council system and were adjusted and reorganized in accordance with the principle of large ministries. In this way, the Secretary of State is the legitimate Prime Minister, and the People's Commissar is equivalent to the Deputy Prime Minister in charge. The Secretary of State can effectively

Management controls various departments of the government, rather than having multiple branches of government as in the past.

The Sintoku Central Government Office is roughly divided into: Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Armed Forces, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ministry of Culture, Science, Ministry of People's Livelihood and Labor, Ministry of People's Security and Planning.

Parliament is the highest legislative body in the Senate country and adopts a bicameral system. Currently, only the House of Lords is established. Every elder who has reached adulthood and enjoys full senatorial powers automatically becomes a member of the Senate and enjoys the power of a member.

The Parliament enjoys all the powers that the highest legislative body should have, such as the power to approve all treaties, agreements and contracts with foreign countries; to review the budget; to question and impeach the Secretary of State, People's Commissar and Ministers at any time, and to approve emergency measures that the government needs to take

Etc. However, any bill passed by the parliament must be approved by the senators before it can become a law. The speaker is elected once a year and can be re-elected.

In order to ensure that parliamentary resolutions do not violate the Common Programme, the Senate has the power to supervise, review and veto all resolutions and proposals passed by parliament.

Regardless of the fact that this system is now just about "supervising itself and approving itself", the Senate and the House of Lords are the same thing in reality, but they have made institutional preparations for sharing power with naturalized citizens in the future, when conditions are mature in the future.

, the Senate will retreat behind the scenes and exist as a "guardian", only grasping the general direction rather than directly intervening in specific government affairs.

The arbitral tribunal maintains an independent status and is not affiliated with the Central Government Affairs Council system. The Central Government Affairs Council has a separate Ministry of Justice to coordinate with the arbitral tribunal. As the supreme law and supreme prosecutor of the Senate country, the arbitral tribunal is directly responsible to the chairman of the Senate, and its chief officer is also appointed by the Senate.

Appointment and removal of the President of the Senate.

Originally, the General Office of the Executive Committee will be divided into two, namely the General Office of the Senate, which serves the Senate, and the General Affairs Office of the Government Affairs Council, which serves the legislative and administrative agencies.

Under the new system, in addition to continuing to enjoy the power of the "Common Programme", the senators also enjoy the power to automatically become members of the House of Lords. It is clear that the senators naturally have the power to manage any national institution, provided that the Senate as a whole controls him

Authorization.

The First Amendment once again clarifies that the personal, property and rights of the senators are "sacred and inviolable". In addition to the Senate, any infringement of the persons and property of the senators by any organization or individual is deemed to be disrespectful and an infringement of the Senate.

The punishment for "disrespect" is up to the death penalty.

In order to fully ensure the needs of the succession of senators, the Heraldry Institute of the Senate, led by the General Office of the Senate, was established, which is responsible for studying and managing the continuation of the bloodline and title inheritance of the senators; designing coats of arms and family emblems for the senators; and registering the family status of the senators.

; Regularly publish the "Yearbook of Elders". At the same time, the "Law on Marriage and Succession of Elders" will be reviewed and approved as soon as possible to ensure the safety and reliability of marriage, family and inheritance of elders.

The First Amendment made a clear distinction for the first time between the property of the Senate and the property of the country under the rule of the Senate. The Senate will establish a Senate Fund, and the income from the fund will be used to pay regular dividends on the Senate's shares. The Senate Fund

The source is 20% of the war spoils, commonly known as "one-fifth of the Senate"; allocate some shares of state-owned enterprises and some shares of enterprises directly under the Senate Fund to be established.

At the same time, the regulations on personal business activities of senators are clarified: Any senator with a formal position may not directly engage in business activities. Family members of senators are not restricted from engaging in business activities, but they must obtain approval from the Senate and pay taxes according to regulations. This is not allowed.

Invest in any form of shares in naturalized or indigenous enterprises, but encourage and fund family members of elders to engage in commercial activities individually or in partnership.

The General Administration of Guards for the Elders, commanded by the General Office of the Senate, was established to protect the personal safety of the elders and their families.



Xiao Zishan noticed that everyone listened carefully to the issue of protecting the power of elders, and some people kept sketching on the documents, probably to highlight the key points. He noticed that the original directors and directors were a little eager to try. This time

Needless to say, the major adjustments will bring greater opportunities to many people. The expressions of the executive committee and ministers are different. People like Wu Nanhai, who have deep roots and are well received by public and private parties, will naturally sit firmly on Diaoyutai; some critics

If there are too many average or replaceable talents, they will inevitably show anxious expressions. There are a few who are calm and there is no expression on their faces at all. As for the few who work in the big library

The elders have rich expressions and different styles.

Yu Eshui's expression was relaxed and at ease - Xiao Zishan knew that the Great Library had been defined as a "unit directly under the jurisdiction of the Senate" and would not be merged into the Central Government Affairs Council. The Senate was unwilling to give up this huge technical advantage. (To be continued.)
