Office of the Director of Jinling Administrative Committee.
Director Jia is carefully reviewing the documents.
It was submitted through a secret channel, a memorandum about the first core group meeting of the Joint Advancement Association.
Jia Liu nodded while looking at it. The overall policy of the meeting was to implement the relevant instructions he had given before leaving Sichuan, and the executive committee members selected at the meeting were also in line with Jia Liu's wishes.
There are two Manchurians on the executive committee (Bo Qing'e, the left deputy general of Dingxi, and Haikang, the clan member of Aixinjueluo);
Six Han bannermen (Zu Yingyuan, Wang Fu, Bao Guozhong, Chang Bingzhong, Liu Heyi, Zhang Dabiao); two Sauron people (Madri, Xindasu); three Han people (Zhang Shisan, Guo Xiu,
Ma Dayuan).
There were representatives from all sides, which well reflected the concept proposed by Jia Liu that the Common Progress Association would be a big family for the common progress of all Banner and Han officials in the Qing Dynasty.
It is foreseeable that with the gradual development of the association, the number of members will exponentially double.
A fact that can be verified.
After the first keynote meeting of the Joint Advancement Association, more than 20 officials of fifth rank and above were invited to visit the Loyalty Building.
After three days of project experience, seventeen officials signed up to join the Gongjinhui on the spot, expressing their willingness to serve the Qing Dynasty better and more effectively in the big family of Gongjinhui.
The responsibilities of the local branch presidents and the newly established relevant organizations are very clear. Basically, this meeting has upgraded the Association from a loose, spontaneous organization to a group with a programmatic nature and combat effectiveness.
The metaphor is that a few desperadoes who only dared to rob armored trucks have grown into a group that can openly set up cards to collect fees on the road.
Among the politically similar groups, the only one that can be mentioned is President Cao of Beiyang's vote-buying parliament.
President Li Shijie gave a report on the development of the association over the past year to all key members.
At present, it has developed a total of 1,250 members, controls a total of 21,506 people in the army, and actually controls 36 counties in four prefectures, three states. In addition, it indirectly controls more than 7,000 troops, and 27 counties in three prefectures, five states.
The achievements are considerable, gratifying and congratulatory.
Jia Liu feels very honored that he has been unanimously elected as the lifelong honorary president by the key members of the group and has lifelong command of the association, and he deeply feels the great responsibility.
For this reason, I specially wrote a letter of thanks to the Gongjin Executive Committee. The letter emphasized that the 40th year of Qianlong was an important year. This year is also the year when the Gongjin Association will go beyond Sichuan and look at the whole country. Therefore, all members are asked to make persistent efforts and bravely
Climb to the top and create greater glory.
The only thing he was dissatisfied with was how there was an organization called the Secret Service. Although this organization was established to supervise members and was responsible for eradicating enemies that hindered the development of the Association, Jia Liu was still dissatisfied with the name of the organization.
It's a blemish in the ointment.
Taking out the honorary president's seal custom-made from Sichuan, Jia Liu "Baba" began to stamp the document.
This is the organizational process.
All members agreed that in the future, any documents of the association must be stamped with the seal of the honorary president to be effective.
This resolution is also a specific measure for the lifelong honorary president to enjoy lifelong command rights.
"This passage is inappropriate. What does it mean that the Gongjin Association is what it is today under my leadership? It's not appropriate. I think it should be changed to under the leadership of the Gongjin Association. Don't forget, I, Jia Jiashikai, am also a Communist Party member.
I am a member of the club. The club is for everyone, not just for me, Jia Jia Shikai."
"There is also a problem with this statement here. It should be written like this."
After being dictated by Jia Liu and edited by Liu Heyi, the new program "Everything for Progress" was refined and modified based on Wang Fu's first draft "For the Qing Dynasty" and was released on the grave of Emperor Sheng Zuren.
After re-reading it, Jia Liu happily stamped it.
Just when he was about to give specific instructions on how to set out to operate Huguang in the second half of the year, Wing Commander Delwang knocked on the door.
Jia Liu signaled Liu Heyi to put the things away, and then called Delwang in to ask what was going on.
"Lord Steward,"
Delwang glanced at Liu Heyi and hesitated to speak.
This appearance made Jia Liu feel refreshed, and he quickly told Liu Heyi: "You should go out first. Mr. De and I have work matters to discuss."
"Yes, sir."
Liu Heyi was busy and quit.
His current status is not within the official system, but a personal staff hired by General Manager Jia, and he is a senior political secretary.
But in the eyes of the people in the Jinling Administrative Committee, Liu Heyi is Mr. Jia's master.
Regardless of whether he is a senior secretary or a master, they are all close friends of the manager, so Liu Heyi is very happy in Jingling.
During the time when the manager was away, Mr. Liu was invited to dinner almost every day, and he received hundreds of taels of small money.
Delwang also invited him twice. Logically speaking, Mr. Liu is a confidant of the manager. He also invited Mr. Liu to dinner. Is there anything else that he should not say in front of others?
But I really can’t say it in person.
Because, this is the rule.
"anything?"
Jia Liu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, his heart beating with anticipation.
Just yesterday, the Treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs appropriated all the money for the maintenance of the Jingling Project, and more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages came with the money.
In order to show that he, as the general manager, is honest and fair, Jia Liu ordered three major engineering maintenance projects to be posted, allowing builders with certain strength to participate in the project bidding, so as to reduce expenses as much as possible while ensuring the quality of the project, and serve the court.
Save some money.
The actual cost of the project reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs was clearly stated on the list. For example, the estimated cost of the project from the Shima Monument to the Shinto Gate Monument was 32,000 taels, so the price tag was 32,000 taels.
The reason for this is because it is absolutely impossible for Director Jia to embezzle project funds, and the construction contractor is required to clearly mark the price of even a brick for verification by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Due to timeliness, there will certainly be no reaction on the day the official document is posted.
Today, the effect came.
No need to ask, Deyi Chang is interested in bidding.
Sure enough, Delwan took out a banknote from his arms and handed it respectfully to the steward's table.
I didn't speak in a hurry, because I wanted to see the manager's reaction first.
The face value of the bank note is five hundred taels.
I was already prepared to be scolded by the steward. This was also a necessary process. Unexpectedly, the steward directly reached out and put the banknotes into the drawer.
Then he asked him with a smile: "Have you brought the plan?"
"Bring it, bring it."
After reacting, Delwang hurriedly handed over the project bidding plan required by yesterday's list. He had hired someone to write it for him in the morning.
What Mr. De wants to bid is the renovation project of the General Administration Office. The project budget is 50,000 taels, which is the most expensive of the three major projects.
"Okay, not bad,"
Jia Liu took the plan and looked at it carefully, then he got angry and slapped the plan on the table, "A brick only costs two cents?! You can do it so cheaply, how can you guarantee the quality of the project!"
