Chapter 1214 Monster Research Institute
Taking advantage of the rare truce period, Ouyang Shuo was in charge of the capital and made a partial adjustment to the imperial structure according to the needs of the dynasty's development. The establishment of the Daxia Bank was only the first step in institutional adjustment.
On October 10, the Daxia Transportation Department and the Asset Management Department were established one after another.
Neither of the two major institutions are among the four major courtyards, but are parallel to the Industrial Agency and are managed vertically by the cabinet. This arrangement is both out of practical needs and a balance of rights for the four major courtyards.
The four major courtyards hold the power of the court. Once it is too bloated, it may hinder the cabinet and suppress it from the bottom. If it is more serious, it may even lead to poor government orders.
It is precisely based on this consideration that the two major agencies have not been included in the jurisdiction of the four major courtyards.
The Transportation Department has a Road and Bridge Department, a Canal Transport Department, a Sea Transport Department and a Railway Department, which is in charge of the dynasty-like transportation facilities. It is responsible for formulating and organizing the implementation of road and bridges, railways, rivers and shipping plans, policies and standards, undertakes planning and coordination work involving the comprehensive transportation system, and promotes the connection between various modes of transportation.
The most eye-catching thing is the Railway Department.
With the acceleration of the industrialization of the dynasty, railway construction was officially put on the agenda. The first phase of the plan was to build a Fengshan line that started from and fell from Fengcheng in the north and went to Shanhaicheng in the south.
The Fengshan Line runs across the five major provinces of Hedong, Central Plains, Jingchu, southern Hunan and southern Sichuan, opening up the freight channels of the dynasty north and south, and strengthening the imperial court's control over the provinces.
Although the Jingchu province is still under the rule of the Song Dynasty, it is also a huge project for Daxia at present, and it is no less difficult than building the Great Wall.
The court planned to open all routes in three years.
It was precisely because the Mafengshan Line Railway Project was launched that the court had to set up a separate railway department.
As the name suggests, the Asset Management Department is responsible for centralized and unified management of various groups and enterprises established by the dynasty. This responsibility was previously managed by the Industry and Development Planning Department under the Finance Yuan.
This time I took it out separately, not to cut off the power of the Finance Yuan, but as the group scale rapidly expands, a specialized and professional institution needs to be established for unified management.
[Shushan Iron and Steel Group], [Huaxia Textile Group], [Huaxia Construction Engineering Group], [Canglong Military Industry Group] and [Shanying Brand Bicycle Factory] are all included in the scope of asset management jurisdiction.
Only [Huaxia Shipping Group] is included in the corresponding jurisdiction of the Transportation Administration.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of establishing the Asset Management Office, the court will also restructure the Chamber of Commerce, guide the Chamber of Commerce to carry out corporate reforms, set up industry access mechanisms, and review business qualifications.
This work is organized and implemented by the Commerce Department under the Finance Yuan.
Daxia has a prosperous economy and trade, and the business atmosphere is relatively free and the business is developed. According to the accounting of the Bureau of Commerce, there are no less than 5,000 large and small chambers of commerce registered in Daxia.
Among them, the giants of the chamber of commerce, such as [Bai's Trading Club], [Cui's Chamber of Commerce], [Song's Chamber of Commerce] and [Yishiluo Trading Club], have almost covered all walks of life.
As long as the imperial court does not explicitly prohibit access, these super chambers of commerce will operate.
The power of the Chamber of Commerce has become a giant beast lurking under the sea. For the dynasty, this is a potential risk that may appear on the surface at any time and affect the court's policies.
This has to make Ouyang Shuo alert.
As industrialization intensifies, the power of capital will only become stronger and more unscrupulous.
What Ouyang Shuo can do, or what the Daxia court can do, is not using violence to interfere, but will only destroy the business environment that has been established and cause both losses.
The real fundamental solution is to regulate and restrict the monster through policy guidance to achieve a win-win situation when it has not yet emerged.
The reform of the company system was the first weapon introduced by the imperial court.
Through the reform of the company system and the establishment of an industrial and commercial registration system, the operation of the chamber of commerce has become more transparent and easier to supervise.
Establishing a corporate business qualification review system can eliminate defective products and raise the industry entry threshold, which is also conducive to supervision and will not allow the chamber of commerce to rush around and do whatever it takes to make money.
In addition, it is also conducive to increasing tax revenue and avoiding tax evasion in the Chamber of Commerce to the greatest extent.
All of these things made Ouyang Shuo firmly determined to make great efforts to promote this matter, and it is necessary to complete the relevant reform and review work seven years before Gaia.
If any chamber of commerce dares to disobey the situation, Ouyang Shuo will be blamed for being cruel and ruthless.
In the short term, this will indeed dampen the enthusiasm of the chamber of commerce and weaken the strength of some chambers of commerce. However, in the long run, it is only possible to further regulate the business environment of Daxia and lay the groundwork for the next great commercial prosperity.
Economic construction has become the top priority of territory construction.
…………
On the 11th, Ouyang Shuo came to the Privy Council Office and attended a plaque unveiling ceremony.
Starting from now on, the Privy Council will set up a "Monster Research Institute" to be responsible for studying monster combat techniques and developing targeted weapons and equipment, and studying how to make monster meat into high-end military rations.
As October begins, the animal disasters in various places have not weakened at all, and are becoming more and more serious. According to statistics from the Privy Council, the casualties of soldiers in camps located near the monster nests are gradually increasing.
This has to attract Ouyang Shuo's attention.
Gaia is really not playing house this time. The beast tide has become a major territorial threat. Compared with the bandits in the wilderness period, the bandits are even more cruel, and it is not an exaggeration to pay attention to it.
Now is only the first year of the arrival of the beast tide. Will there be new changes next year?
Ouyang Shuo had no idea, so he could only strengthen prevention.
It was in this case that Ouyang Shuo decided to set up the "Monster Research Institute" to turn passive into activeness. Because monsters are highly realistic, the research results are also helpful to the planet Hope.
…………
On October 12th, Shanhai City.
In the imperial study room, Ouyang Shuo was summoning Ouyang Xiu, Director of Science, Education, Culture and Health, to discuss the upcoming education reform. This is also the most important thing Ouyang Shuo pays to the dynasty among the reforms, which is related to the foundation of the dynasty.
Education reform, and the need to align with the reform of money houses and chambers of commerce, are all about accelerating the modernization process.
As the territory of the dynasty continues to expand, the need for the cultivation of high-level talents alone, such as the [Southwest University Hall] and the [Army Military Academy], can no longer support the demand for the cultivation of high-level talents.
Restructuring is imperative.
Ouyang Shuo decided to rename [Southwest University] to [Peking University], [Army Military Academy] to [Army University], and [Naster Academy] to [Naval University].
Not only will it be renamed, the [Beijing University] and [HR University] will also move out of the royal city and choose another place to build a larger and larger university campus to meet the needs of expansion in the scale of school management.
The royal city seems too restrictive and is not suitable for the free and open academic atmosphere of the university.
In addition, Ouyang Shuo also decided to build another [Imperial Capital Normal University] in addition to the three universities, which is specially used to train faculty and transfusion blood for education reform.
In the future, other professional universities will be formed one after another, such as [Imperial Capital Academy of Art].
A longer-term plan is to set up local universities in some central cities in the future, such as Luoyang, Quanzhou, Chengdu and other places, to further improve the education system at the right time.
Only in this way can the dynasty's desire for talent be satisfied.
Just as Ouyang Shuo and Ouyang Xiu were discussing education plans, a guard suddenly ran in, "Report to the king, Shanhaiwei stationed in the Mongolian Empire Intelligence Station, and sent a red emergency message."
