The arrival of Duan Zicheng and Yu Hai signified that their staff had basically arrived.
What remains is the question of how to delegate or allocate responsibilities.
For the officials, although they did not know Qi Yu's true motive for doing this, they could guess the general intention.
Nine times out of ten, it should be related to the next appointment.
As the saying goes, observing words and emotions, or in other words, considering the meaning, is the basic quality of an official. How could they not know?
All qualified!
Qin Qingqing, Qi Yu coughed dryly, cupped his hands towards the north and said: "Everyone, I am honored by His Majesty and appointed as the governor of Qiongzhou. I deeply feel the great kindness of the Emperor. However, I feel the burden on my shoulders all the time.
The responsibility is so great that I often lament it day and night, fearing that the entrustment will fail and harm the name of His Majesty. Therefore, I would like to urge you all to do your duty with all your heart and soul, to do it personally, and to do your best in the future, in order to repay me.
The Emperor’s trust!”
Hearing this, all the officials hurriedly raised their hands and replied: "It is the duty of a lower official to share your Majesty's worries and solve your problems..."
Well, the attitude is very correct.
good!
Qi Yu said 'hmm' and then said: "I believe you have all heard that for a long time to come, our Qiongzhou will not only continue to enjoy the convenience of widening the sea ban, but also enjoy the absolute autonomy of this side."
For example, the daily administration of Qiongzhou Province, the dismissal and appointment of officials, and the collection of taxes within the jurisdiction are all decided by me. In other words, the future of Qiongzhou is in the hands of you and me. The imperial court
No interference.”
This means that Qiongzhou's politics is already independent and has no ties to others.
As for the so-called autonomy, Qi Yu also gave a further explanation.
To put it simply, whether you starve to death or starve to death, it has nothing to do with the court.
Of course, if you develop and grow, the court cannot be greedy, let alone increase taxes indiscriminately.
This is the so-called right of autonomy.
Hearing this, all the officials said in unison: "All the lower officials know about these matters."
"Okay! Now that we understand everything, I will announce the appointment of the three provincial departments!" Qi Yu straightened his face and said solemnly.
"..."
The so-called "three divisions" refer to the administrative envoys' division, the administrative envoys' division, the promulgation envoys' division, and the general command envoys' division. That is, they are the general handlers of the three major departments of administration, justice, and military affairs in the provincial government yamen.
Among them, the two right-hand men, other than the Metropolitan Commander, are the focus of strict attention from the local officialdom.
This is not to say that the position of the commander-in-chief of the local government army is not very important, but because this position does not participate in the decision-making and discussion of government affairs, it receives less attention.
Objectively speaking, these three bosses are basically equal, but have different divisions of labor.
According to the laws stipulated by Emperor Taizu at the time of the founding of the country, the three local ministers are all high-ranking officials of the third rank, and their status is second only to the governor.
One can imagine how important these three positions are to the local area.
If there is an opportunity for promotion, who would not miss it?
Therefore, all the officials held their breath, widened their eyes, and looked at Qi Yu with longing eyes.
They are all looking forward to it, hoping that that big piece of shit will fall on their heads.
However, they knew very well that this idea was almost fanciful and unrealistic.
How many kilograms do you have? Haven't you counted to 'thirteen' yet?
So, theoretically there is a chance, but it can only be described as a fluke.
After Qi Yu was quiet for a moment, he finally announced:
"Yu Hai, please come out and accept the appointment!"
"The official is here!"
"Today, the governor officially appoints you as the Chief Envoy of the Qiongzhou Provincial Government, taking charge of all administrative matters within the jurisdiction. I hope you will work hard and show your talents to push the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce of Qiongzhou forward one step further.
"
"yes!"
As for Yu Hai, although he seemed calm on the surface, he was actually very happy in his heart. He did have some expectations for this appointment, but when he actually sat in this position, he couldn't help but feel a little carried away.
But the senses of the officials were completely opposite. They never expected that this fat-bellied outsider could actually reach the top of the three departments in one fell swoop. This was really impressive.
However, this also indirectly proves how much Lord Qi trusts him.
"Peng Wenzhang, please come out and accept the appointment!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Today, the governor officially appoints you as the inspector of the Qiongzhou Provincial Government, overseeing the establishment of the Experience Department, the Care Center, the Prison Department and other departments. I hope that you will take the law as a guide, be impartial and impartial, and create a fair and just society for Qiongzhou.
social environment.”
"Subordinates take orders!"
Peng Wenchang never expected that he would actually reach the position of a third-grade official as a scholar. Those legendary late bloomers are nothing more than this, right?
Surprisingly, the officials were not jealous of Master Peng's appointment, but showed expressions of approval. This also shows that his high moral character has been recognized.
"Duan Zicheng, please come out and accept the appointment of this governor!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Today, the governor officially appoints you as the commander-in-chief of the Qiongzhou Provincial Government, to take charge of the recruitment, training, campaigning, rewards and punishments, and other important military affairs of the provincial government's army. I hope that you will strictly enforce the law and organize the army efficiently.
We must use military force to create an invincible and invincible army of justice and a mighty army, so as to safeguard the partial peace of our province and even our country."
"Yes! Take the order!"
As far as Duan Zicheng is concerned, this appointment can be regarded as his re-entry into the official position in the true sense. Before this, his identity was just a court guest with no rank or rank, but now, he has been promoted to an upright third-rank official.
Member. He bowed sincerely to the reputation of Entong Zaozao.
At this point, the appointment of the third division has come to a complete end.
Among them, some people were surprised, some were disappointed, and some were watching the excitement.
Qi Yu looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "Except for the other appointments of the Third Division, we will discuss them another day. Next, please each report the essence of your own government affairs."
"Well……"
For other officials outside the Third Division, they are very miserable now.
Why were only three departments appointed and not six ministries?
What should I do if I wait?
Up? Or down?
Or should I say, keep your job?
This kind of suffering is by no means an ordinary worry.
In fact, it wasn't that Qi Yu didn't want to appoint him, but he wanted to hear what the three ministers wanted alone.
As far as the deliberations of the provincial government are concerned, they are very different from the swarm-like gatherings of the state governments. They are small-scale deliberations. The three departments in charge of the government are the core factors that lead the decision-making.
It was precisely because of this that Qi Yu decided to follow the rules.
Yes, since the three divisions have been appointed, they must respect their rights. If you are still going to stick it out like before, then it is better not to establish it!
Once established, we must fully delegate power and trust them.
