Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 884 My Court Has Finally Opened
On June [-]th, when the sun was scorching hot, the much-anticipated Hundred Officials Clan Conference was held in the Xiangyang Auditorium as scheduled.

Since there were not enough venues in Xiangyang City for the conference, the cabinet finally set the venue at Guangde Temple in the northwest of the city.

Chang Qing, the former admiral of Yunnan, passed away in this temple.

Considering that the internal enthronement ceremony will be seamlessly connected after the meeting of hundreds of officials and clans, all major civil and military officials at all levels in Hubei will attend the meeting.

Before the meeting, Jia Liu formally approved the list of candidates for the six ministers.

Prime Minister Bo Qing'e and Minister of Rites;
Li Shijie, the first-ranked prime minister and deputy minister, is also the official secretary;
The second-ranked Prime Minister and Deputy Minister Asiha is also the Minister of the Ministry of War;
The third-ranked Prime Minister and Deputy Minister Ji Yun is also the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment (due to a business trip, he is temporarily out of office).

The post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was taken up by Fan Wei, the former chief political envoy of Zhili. The reason is that Fan Wei was responsible for many engineering projects during his tenure in Zhili and was relatively professional.

The post of Minister of the Household Department is temporarily vacant, and only Zuo Shilang will be in charge first.

The position of Zuo Shilang is taken by Li Anan, the head of Xingyuan Finance Department.

It is also a professional counterpart.

In addition, recommended by Prime Minister Bo Qing's guarantee, Han Zhangjing Dong Gao of the Military Aircraft Department who was captured and underwent labor reform wrote a letter of repentance and a letter of guarantee, and took the post of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, actually in charge of the work of the Ministry of Rites.

Jia Liu personally met Dong Gao and commented that although he was greedy for life and afraid of death, he had a good character and more than enough ability to handle affairs, so he approved Dong Gao's appointment.

Recommended by Li Shijie, Deputy Minister of the Prime Minister, Cao Xibao, the former Secretary of the Imperial College who was in the hometown because of his father's death, served as the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, assisting Li Shijie in managing the work of the Ministry of Officials.

The main reason why President Li recommended Cao Xibao to serve in the Ministry of Officials is that Cao Xibao was a very clean official. When he was working in Shandong Liangdao in his early years, he handled the case of Zhang Jiqu's murder, and took the risk of offending many important officials in the court. The case has been wronged.

He is an honest and selfless official who is not afraid of the powerful.

Of course, Jia Liu liked such officials, and he also hoped to rectify the official atmosphere of the reform court, so he immediately agreed to Cao Xibao's appointment.

The right servant of the Ministry of War was Dax, the nephew of Prime Minister Bo Qing'e, Jia Liu's cousin and brother-in-law.

This person was first-handedly introduced by his uncle Bo Qing'e to join the association. He has served as a minister of participation and team leadership, and has also represented his uncle in negotiating with the big and small Jinchuan parties. He has certain skills in military affairs.

Instead of looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, Jia Liu couldn't save Lao Bo's face.

Guo Xiu, the former general of Jiangxi Green Camp, served as the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and was fully responsible for the research and development of firearms forging in the Wei Dynasty.

Originally, Jia Liu planned to promote his second brother-in-law Gao Delu for this position, but considering that Gao Delu had no fame, it was a bit unruly to be suddenly promoted to a second-rank senior official, so Guo Xiu took the first place.

He only issued an edict to increase the rank of Delu Daotai, and was fully responsible for Tianjin's military industry.

The left and right ministers of other ministries, including the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, Zongren Mansion, Taipu Temple, Guozijian and other institutions, have no clear candidates. Firstly, these institutions are all in the capital, and it is impossible to set up new ones in Xiangyang;
Secondly, the opinions of the cabinet are still based on the current officials of the Qianlong Dynasty, that is, as long as the officials of the capital can serve in the reform court, they will stay in their posts for the time being.

After the capital is stabilized, it will be abolished and the Yizhengyuan will be added.

In addition, the six ministries that can now function normally are the three yamen of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Officials. The other three ministries of rites, punishment, and engineering have only completed listing, and there is no actual office space or actual office needs.

The provinces, prefectures, and prefectures and counties are in charge of ethics, criminal law, and engineering construction. The governors of each province are temporarily responsible for the unified responsibility, and they will be officially reported after the imperial court officially moves to the capital.

Jia Liu has no objection to this. The Restoration Court still has the banner of the Qing Dynasty. Although it is orthodox right now, after all, the main administrative resources of the Qing Dynasty are in the capital, and it is impossible for him to set up a separate court without the capital. .

What worries him the most is that Qianlong will go crazy and set fire to the capital, and all jade and stone will be burned, so if the officials of the Qianlong Group can collectively abandon the dark and turn to the bright, he will welcome it with all hands.

Because in that way, even if Qianlong wanted to set fire, no one would do it for him. He didn't know the current affairs and refused to go to the field.

Before the meeting, Jia Liu had breakfast with the senior army generals who came to Xiangyang.

Including Zu Yingyuan, Admiral of the First Army, Bao Guozhong, Chief of Staff of the Army; Bao Ning, Admiral of the Second Army, Ruilin, Chief of Staff of the Army; Chief of Staff Chang Bingzhong and other 27 generals above the general level.

Breakfast is very simple, just porridge and meat buns, three deep-fried dough sticks for the other person, and a plate of pickles.

The porridge and pickles are full, and there are unlimited refills, but the meat buns and fried dough sticks are just the same.

Can be purchased for a fee if required.

The same is true for Jia Liu.

This system was proposed by him himself, that is, in the future, the officials attending the meeting will need to pay for the purchase of tea and snacks for all expenditures for small meetings of the imperial court.

You can buy it without paying, and boiled water is provided for free.

In order to implement the new style and new system, Jia Liu decisively took out three copper coins and asked for an extra meal after eating his own meat bun.

Seeing this, the generals looked at each other.

After the meal, surrounded by a group of generals, Jia Liu came to the meeting place in Guangde Temple.

The first thing that catches the eye is all kinds of flowers, which are refreshing.

After His Majesty the Emperor arrived, delegations from various provinces and clan representatives entered the arena.

"The Hubei delegation is here!"

"The Shandong delegation is here!"

"The Zhili delegation is here!"

"The delegation from Henan is here!"

"The Sichuan delegation is here!"

"."

Following the shouts of the ceremonial officer, the delegations from various provinces who came to Xiangyang to attend the conference entered the venue one after another, and found their seats under the leadership of the ceremonial officer.

The process is similar to the meeting of princes, princes and ministers held in Beijing last year.

Jia Liu, who was chatting cordially with the two presidents in the background, looked at the venue from time to time, and there was an indescribable pride in his heart.

Probably - it's finally my turn!
Jia Liu's proclaiming the emperor has been notified to the provincial delegations, and the provincial delegations have heard the news earlier, and they are mentally prepared for the Devil Liu's proclaiming the emperor, so the official announcement did not cause much repercussions.

There is no objection either.

The two delegations from Zhejiang did not attend. One returned to Hangzhou the day before yesterday, and the other left yesterday.

The reason is that the two delegations failed to reach an agreement with the reform government.

Carefully selected representatives of the clan quickly entered the arena, a total of 40 people, 60 with red belts and [-] with yellow belts.

The highest rank is General Zhen Guo.

Judging from the tension and restraint of these people entering the venue, it is obvious that they have gone through many rehearsals before and understand what they should do later.

"The Wuchang delegation is here!"

Accompanied by the singing officer's voice, all the delegations who entered the venue turned around in surprise, looking at the Wuchang delegation led by former Huguang Governor Chen Huizu into the venue in astonishment.

There was an uproar and a lot of discussion.

They all didn't know how the rebels had sent people over.

Ding Qing, director of the Internal Affairs Committee responsible for the order of the venue, stepped forward to inform the provincial delegations that Wuchang had come to attend the meeting at the invitation of the Emperor Restoration.

Nothing else is said.

But the provincial delegations soon got an important signal from this official statement-the imperial court was negotiating with the bandit army.

Bi Yuan, the team leader of the Shaanxi-Gansu delegation, frowned first. If Guizi Liu took care of the Xinghan bandit army, it would not be a good thing for Shaanxi-Gansu.

The delegations from the other provinces of the Jia family showed great encouragement, because doesn't this just show what His Majesty the Emperor wants.

After Chen Huizu smiled and took the deputy head Lu Yuanguang and others to sit in the designated position, the meeting officially started.

Ding Qing got up and sang: "Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"Wow!"

Under the signal of the etiquette officer, hundreds of people in the venue stood up collectively, and looked at the aisle decorated with flowers on the left side of the rostrum in unison.

Jia Liu, dressed in royal robes, appeared at the entrance of the passage with a smile on his face, appearing in the sight of his subjects.

The moment he waved his right hand, there was thunderous applause.

Almost at the same time, crackling firecrackers sounded outside the venue.

"Swish, swish" and "bang, bang, bang" kept ringing.

On June 42th, [-]nd year of the puppet Qianlong, the Restoration Court officially opened in Xiangyang.

This represents the advent of a new era.

One is different, one inherits the past and ushers in the future, one inherits the past and ushers in the future, and one creates the era of capital power unique to the Eastern system.

This is an era of reform and an era of common people.
