During this period, Taiwan did not have a clear consciousness, and the governor of Taiwan has always been supported by people supported by the five major families in the province. Local provincial legislators generally belong to the Restoration Party and fewer Democratic Party. The current governor Lin Xiantang is from the Lin family in Chifeng.

He belongs to the local center-left political tycoon. Although he is from the Restoration Party, he has a lot of contacts with the Social Democratic Party.

However, Lin Xiantang himself is indeed a representative of the local autonomy faction. He hopes to change Taiwan Province to Taiwan Autonomous Province, expand the real power of the provincial government and provincial parliament. The biggest advantage of becoming an autonomous province is that the central government and the province share taxes of 55 yuan.

Most autonomous provinces are relatively poor, and the central government will also receive a large amount of subsidies every year. Although Taiwan is not an autonomous province, it has also received more subsidies from the central government in the past twenty years.

Since he was going to Taiwan, Emperor Song Biao of course wanted to deal with the Taiwan autonomy issue.

Before Christmas, before Prime Minister Winston Churchill was about to visit the United States, Emperor Song Biao and Crown Prince Yuhua arrived at Tainan Prefecture on a special plane on the Oriental Emperor.

Taiwan Province is currently set up in five prefectures and one prefecture, with Taipei Prefecture, Taichung Prefecture, Tainan Prefecture, Kaohsiung Prefecture, Taitung Prefecture and Yilan Zhili Prefecture. The administrative division of the empire adopts the three-level division of provincial prefectures and counties, and Zhili Prefecture is the same.

At the provincial level, Zhili County is administratively owned by the government level, but financially managed by the provincial government. If a Zhili County has a higher level and basically enjoys various treatments at the government level, it can be divided into more

The unique Zhili Prefecture is basically divided into the same administrative division as the prefecture level.

The place where the magnitude 7 earthquake occurred is Zhongpu Township, Chiayi County, Tainan Prefecture. This is a very typical mountainous area with a small local population and relatively few affected people. However, it is very difficult to rescue. The Fuzhou Military Region has sent an airborne division to airdrop.

The soldiers and a large amount of supplies were rescued from the two regiments, and the provincial government and the patrol force were all involved in the rescue work.

Because the Fuzhou Military Region responded very quickly. From the current perspective, the disaster relief situation is still relatively ideal. The only problem is that the local land traffic is basically paralyzed. It can enter but not exit, and only contact can be established through the military's radio command vehicle, constantly

Transport disaster relief supplies to the local area through airdrops.

When Emperor Song Biao arrived, the helicopter rescue team of the Fuzhou Military Region Army Air Force had arrived. This batch of helicopters belonged to the old model Z3 series without a turboshaft engine. It has low load tonnage and poor airworthiness. It is very difficult.

Adapt to the complex mountain environment in the local area.

After Emperor Song Biao arrived, Taiwan Province Governor Lin Xiantang, Taiwan Province Patrol Chief Yang Zhaoji, and Fuzhou Military Region Commander Xie Jinyuan, the commander of the 230th Airborne Division, who was responsible for rescue command, arrived at the first time.

Although Chiayi County failed to rule out the possibility of aftershocks, after arriving in Taichung Prefecture, Emperor Song Biao continued to take off-road vehicles from the military headquarters to Chiayi County.

Chiayi is a major agricultural county in Taiwan. The county ranks first in the province with sugarcane and citrus production, and the largest water conservancy facilities. The largest Fushan Reservoir in Taiwan Province is located in the county. It is only a few dozen kilometers away from the earthquake zone. Fortunately, it

There was no major danger in the reservoir.

Because he could not inspect the epicenter, Emperor Song Biao inspected the Chiayi County, which was also seriously affected. He met some local public representatives and ordinary people, leaving the Crown Prince Yuhua to continue to inspect the local relief and disaster relief situation. He was in Xie Jin

Accompanied by Yuanhe Lin Xiantang, he went to Fushan Reservoir.

Taiwan's current local scientific research level and strength are still relatively low. The local Water Resources Department lacks sufficient technical experts to conduct evaluation. The Central Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources and the Central Geological Exploration Bureau directly appointed an expert team to inspect the Fushan Reservoir and the surrounding seismic areas,

Determine whether there will be new dangers in Fushan Reservoir.

The expert group will also examine a question that cannot be disclosed for the time being, that is, whether the Fushan Reservoir is the main factor causing this earthquake. The international world has already criticized large reservoirs to a certain extent, and the suspicion of reservoirs that can trigger shallow earthquakes.

It has sparked widespread debate.

Fushan Reservoir has a great similarity with Qiandao Lake Reservoir and even the Three Gorges Power Station in the discussion, that is, there is an analogy between the local soil and mountain structure.

Of course, this series of issues cannot be disclosed yet.

The Fushan Reservoir is not only the largest reservoir in Taiwan and the largest Tamsui Lake District in Taiwan. It is still a certain distance from Toyama. At that time, considering that the meaning of this word has the meaning of affluent mountain people, it is therefore the name Fushan Reservoir is adopted, and the local Dapu Township is also

It was renamed Toyama Town.

Emperor Song Biao took a long mountain road to arrive at Fushan Town. He also encountered several landslides along the road that were under emergency repair. He was preparing to live in Fushan Town tonight and returned to Chiayi County at noon tomorrow.

Governor Lin Xiantang could only stay in Toyama Town with fear at night, trembling because no one dared to be sure whether there would be a new earthquake behind. Maybe the earthquake ahead was just a front quake, and even a larger earthquake would be

It's in the back!

The military's arrangements were still very stable. It sent several helicopters to treat temporary treatment in Toyama Town. Once a new earthquake really occurred, the emperor must be taken away immediately. Even so, no one dared to guarantee that there would be no problem.

Emperor Song Biao didn't have so much worries. After he arrived in Toyama Town, he could only stay in a local hotel. The conditions were very ordinary. When the sunset shone, he was still leisurely walking on the reservoir dam.

Take a look at the beautiful scenery of Taiwan’s No. 1 reservoir.

Relying on the mountains and relying on the water to harvest water, Toyama Town is a real freshwater fish town. It mainly relies on aquaculture and fishing for a living. Due to inconvenient transportation, small factories such as fishmeal and fish ball factories are built in the local area.

After he took a walk, the local town mayor organized a feast with Governor Lin Xiantang.

countryside.

It is really a countryside, and I don’t understand the rules at all. They are in charge of the emperor’s diet and daily life.

They didn't ask clearly, as if they were giving an unexpected surprise, the whole town was very busy, killing chickens and sheep. For so many years, their local tribes, including the ancestors, did they have the opportunity to receive the emperor today, of course it is true.

Very enthusiastic.

As a result, when they had a grand dinner, they went to inform the head of the inner court, Chen Jiayou, and then they realized that the emperor's diet and daily life were definitely not the place to handle it, otherwise what would they have to do in the inner court?

Moreover, no matter where the emperor inspects, the foreign royal family and government will arrange dinners unless he visits abroad. Otherwise, according to common practice, the experts from the inner court will arrange them according to the solar terms and the emperor's recent health. Such as being alone outside,

At most, there are only four dishes, two soups and two cold dishes. The head of the inner court and the secretary-general are half insiders. As well as local officials, they may be rewarded for dining with the emperor.

After Song Biao came back, he learned about this and asked Lin Xiantang and the head of the inner court Chen Jiayou to represent him to attend a dinner organized by local villagers. He still stayed in the hotel for his home-cooked meal.

Now that he is older, Emperor Song Biao doesn't like such troubles. The quieter the better. When Governor Lin Xiantang returns in shame, Emperor Song Biao rarely asks him to accompany him.

Sun Hengshan, the chef of the Imperial Food Bureau, went south to dinner with him.

Sun Hengshan is a famous Huaiyang cuisine. He is also proficient in Beijing, Shandong and Shanghai cuisine. He has worked in the royal family for 20 years and is a national special chef. His characteristic is that he is good at cooking various ingredients, and he has soup and vegetables as his best.

This time, I arrived in Toyama Town and arrived in the evening. Where did Sun Hengshan have time to prepare ingredients? I had to temporarily use local unique bass eels and cherry salmon as the main ingredients to make a red stewed sweet and sour bass eels and a Chinese salmon soup.

When he was sweet and sour eel, he chose local sugar cane as the source of sugar, and did not use sugar juice because he forgot to bring sugar juice. The sugar juice in local restaurants was too bad, so he didn't dare to use it.

In fact, Sun Hengshan has experienced this sudden situation several times in the past twenty years, and his experience in dealing with it is already very rich.

Emperor Song Biao was not a particularly picky foodie. After a rough taste, it felt very good. He joked with Sun Hengshan that if he returned to the capital in the future, he would probably not have such oral conscience.

When the imperial meal ended, Emperor Song Biao rinsed his mouth and returned to his guest room to handle some official duties, reading the various disaster situations and disaster relief reports submitted by the Taiwan Provincial Government and the Fuzhou Military Department.

The overall disaster is not serious. If there are no more severe aftershocks, it is expected that the current rescue work will be basically over before mid-January next year, followed by the post-disaster reconstruction work, which requires a lot of funds. The central government has already

If the insurance company agrees to approve the post-disaster rehabilitation funds of 2 million yuan, the insurance company will claim a part of the funds, while the provincial government's appropriation will be 4 million yuan, and there will be a large gap in total.

Emperor Song Biao made an estimate based on his own experience that the funding gap is expected to be about three million yuan. This money is not a lot of expenses for the royal family. He plans to make the Royal Charity Federation, which Princess Yuanyuan currently hosted.

Make up for the gap in reconstruction funds.

Compared to these things, he paid more attention to the situation of local indigenous people.

According to investigations and research by the Imperial Central Academy of Social Sciences, Taiwan’s indigenous tribes are closely related to Polynesians, and they basically fall into the same range in culture, language, and population, and may be the source of Polynesians.

This is of great benefit to the long-term stability of the empire in the Polynesian Islands and the South Pacific Islands. Of course, the political factors behind this research cannot be denied.

During this inspection in Taiwan, Emperor Song Biao had intended to set up a special social fund to support the indigenous people. As for the so-called xenophobic voices of the people in Taiwan, he was still quite unhappy. It was nothing more than a relationship that was hundreds of years ago.

It is basically the same as that of Fujian Province.

If all this is to engage in xenophobia in the province, how can the entire empire be governed?

After Emperor Song finished reading the official documents in his hand, Governor Lin Xiantang happened to come to pay a visit.

The hotel where Song Biao stayed is already the best place to stay in the local area, but it is not as royal as it is. If the inner court had not arranged it urgently a few days ago, it would have been impossible for even a single room in a three-star hotel.

.

Even so, Song Biao still had to work in the living room, and met Lin Xiantang in the living room. Although he didn't like this person, the other party was also an elected governor and a boss of the local party. Song Biao still asked someone to sit down and let him sit down.

Lin Xiantang sat down and talked to him about official duties.

As soon as Lin Xiantang sat down, he couldn't wait to apologize for his hasty arrangements for hospitality among local villagers.

Emperor Song Biao didn't care much about this. Although he rarely encountered this situation, it was not considered a clear responsibilities. He just staggered this question and asked Lin Xiantang: "You have been in Taiwan Province for 11 years.

Governor, this term is your last term, right?”

Emperor Song's words were very ordinary and had a gentle voice. Lin Xiantang was taking the teacup from Jiang Shoulin. He replied with the Emperor Song with gratitude: "The emperor is wise and when this term is over, I will retire and return home.

Go back to Chifeng to be an old man who grows tea. He is a child of his life."

Emperor Song Biao certainly did not believe this nonsense, and he persuaded him kindly: "We have the ability and reputation. We should do more things to our fellow villagers in this province. I think you are in good health. After the term of this governor is over

Do you want to work in the central cabinet?"

Lin Xiantang trembled, no virtue or ability. How could he dare to go to Beijing to work in the cabinet? The party is about factions, so he can only be regarded as a local faction in the province. He has no hope of being selected by the three major factions in the central government.

In the local area, as long as he can hold the Democratic Party up and prevent the Democratic Party from reversing the election, it is the primary contribution of all the local tycoons in the party. You must know that the Democratic Party is in Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, but he is the only one in Taiwan.

Speaking of which, the Democratic Party once used the Taiwan Provincial Autonomy policy to win over these elected bosses in the province. They once got closer at that time, but Song Jiaoren was "short-sighted" and hastily stopped this policy.

Lin Xiantang did not understand that although Song Jiaoren liked to sing on stage with the Central Committee and was eager to expand the Democratic Party's election, he was very principled on the issue of major issues in his country.

Now that the emperor personally proposes that Lin Xiantang beg for office in the cabinet in the future, how can this not make Lin Xiantang feel happy? The political characteristics of the empire are very special. In fact, the governor's real power is not very large.

The United States is a federal system, and its governor's real power is very large. This is normal, but the real power of the chief executives in Britain, France and the local executives is very ordinary. The empire is a centralized system, so the real power of the governor is even lower.

The political structure of the empire is actually a dumbbell. The grassroots county government level has greater real power, the upper central government level has greater real power, and the central provincial level has relatively weaker education. Moreover, the empire has a very strict professional bureaucratic system, with the vast majority of them.

The civil servants are professional and technical personnel, and many administrative powers are controlled by these people. The central departments have direct administrative management power over the functional departments of the province. The central government controls the position of the chief and deputy directors of the local provincial level, and the local governments

The governor has only the right to supervise.

Therefore, in terms of actual rights, a cabinet minister in the empire is usually much more powerful than a governor. At the source, it is related to the distribution of power by the imperial constitution. The government level is relatively much more powerful, but in fact it is at the provincial level.

Many rights are directly delegated to the level of the government.

To a certain extent, you can think that the empire is more like the county system of the Qin Dynasty. The big reason why the empire did this was to restrict the internal split movements of Xinjiang, **, and Mongolia, such as provinces.

The appointment power of the Chief of Patrol and the Director of the Police Department is controlled by the Central Committee, while the appointment power of the prosecutor is in the hands of the governor of the province.
