Chapter 637 [681] Empire power structure
When Bi Fang read these papers, he felt that his field of vision was suddenly broadened. For the same question, different people have different judgments.And give different governance methods.Most of the governance methods are better than what Bi Fang thought.Bi Fang had to admit that these people were talents.But among these governance methods, Bi Fang claims that he can't think of a middle-level governance method, but he can easily see which governance method is better through comparison.

When Bi Fang read more than [-] papers, Bi Fang already understood the reason why Edward Lewis asked him to judge the papers together.Edward Lewis wants to keep learning while suppressing the test papers of these people, and learn to judge and judge what kind of talents he needs.As a monarch, he does not need to learn how to govern concretely.What he wants to learn is how to select the talents he needs and judge the quality of these people.To put it bluntly, there is only one thing Edward Louis wants to teach himself, and that is to be a monarch and learn to employ people.

Of course, educating yourself through this method is far more meaningful than telling yourself a monotonous sentence boringly, and it is easier to be accepted by yourself.Moreover, Bi Fang also knew that this Edward Louis never had only one purpose in doing things. After thinking about it, Bi Fang thought that Edward Louis wanted to use this matter to let himself be respected by those with high quality and outstanding talents. I also have a general impression of the talents, so that when he selects these talents, Bi Fang will suspect that he is employing people for selfishness.

It took Bi Fang five days to review all the more than 4000 papers in detail, but it took Edward Lewis only one and a half days to complete the review.As for the remaining three days, Edward Louis was letting those who passed the first checkpoint be grouped according to the classification they had chosen at the beginning, and question each other about governance.

After more than three days, half of the people have already realized their lack of talent and quit the competition below.

As for this process, it is naturally carried out under the premise of openness and fairness.Therefore, no one has anything to say about those who left on their own.

After Bi Fang finished evaluating all the test papers, a special person sorted them out, and then ranked them according to the two evaluations of Bi Fang and Edward Lewis.

Of course, this ranking is done by category.After the ranking was completed, the top [-] in each category were announced, and the top [-] in each category, even their test papers, were announced.These test papers also included comments from Bi Fang and Edward Lewis.

The publicity lasts for five days. During these five days, anyone who thinks that his talent surpasses someone in front of him can apply. Then, Edward Louis will host a public competition.The winner goes up, the loser goes down.

During these five days, the entire main city of Xinghuo City can be said to be very lively. As the saying goes, Wen Wu is the first, and no one thinks that they are inferior to others, so there are many challengers.

However, a person's talent is high or low, and experience is also rich and shallow. Therefore, as long as there is no special situation during the exam, the fluctuation of this ranking is not particularly large.

As the saying goes, you can know the autumn by looking at a leaf, through a reasonable and comprehensive test paper, you can basically test the level of the examinee.

Therefore, after five days, except for a very small number of people whose rankings have changed, everyone else's challenge has failed.When the final list is finalized.Bi Convenience publicly announced that the top ten players in each category can challenge Edward Lewis.However, this kind of challenge is not limited to a certain aspect, but all twelve categories of questions can be compared with each other.

Following Bi Fang's announcement, these top talents in all aspects originally came for the position of prime minister of the Holy Empire.But now, when they were able to officially challenge for the position of prime minister, they did not have the expected lively scene.Through these days of getting along with each other, they already know that Edward Louis is the planner of all these series of exams, and the comprehensive and reasonable test papers, and the 600 incisive and thought-provoking comments made these people dare not take it easy. stand out.

They believed that in what they were best at, they might not lose to this Edward Louis, and might even slightly surpass him.But in the face of such comprehensive knowledge, they all lost confidence in the overall situation.They all know that as the prime minister of a country, the latter is the most important.As a prime minister, you only need to master various professional knowledge, and don't need to be proficient.Because, as long as the prime minister assigns the right job to the right person, more professional people are enough.

At the end of the day, only six people hesitated for a long time before standing up and asking Edward Louis for advice.They didn't dare to say it was a challenge, and they all claimed to be asking for advice.

And after some not particularly intense cross-examination, in the end, everyone expressed their gratitude sincerely and returned.

In this way, people can really appreciate how knowledgeable the prime minister Bi Fang decided before taking the exam.At the same time, watching this intellectual competition of top talents, everyone present felt that they had learned a lot of knowledge.

Of course, this challenge is not open to the public.Only the top [-] in twelve categories are eligible to attend the audition.

"Everyone! You are all outstanding talents in this series of examinations. Now, our Emperor Bifang, please feel free to visit the palace. After an hour, we will have dinner in the back garden. If you really want to serve in the Divine Grace Empire, please stay. If you don’t want to, please leave before the meal. Within this hour, there are no restrictions in the palace. Please rest assured , no matter what decision you make, our Divine Grace Empire will not have any embarrassments. Friends who want to stay in the Divine Grace Empire, we can arrange for you land, houses and living supplies. The empire values ​​talents, so you will get more than ordinary civilians. As for those who want to leave, we will arrange for someone to send you back to the place you want to go. However, once the appointment is issued, it is found that the pregnant We are very sorry for sneaking in with unscrupulous purposes. For the enemy, our Divine Grace Empire will never be lenient." Edward Louis stood on the throne after the end of the challenge time and after asking Bi Fang Underneath, announced loudly.

Hearing what Edward Louis said, the people present couldn't help but started to discuss in a low voice, but they were not ordinary people. It can be imagined that the behavior of the Divine Favor Empire with such a big fanfare would inevitably cause those who want to take the opportunity to infiltrate the vital departments of the Divine Favor Empire.This is a normal phenomenon in all countries, and there is nothing surprising about it.

"Everyone, please!" Bi Fang stood up and said to these talents.

Hearing Bi Fang's words, these people left from the main entrance of the main hall.The reason why Bi Fang opened the palace to these people and let them visit is also because Bi Fang's palace has nothing to do except a piece of land enclosed by a high wall and a few simple palaces built.There is nothing to visit at all, Bi Fang just let those people with ulterior motives leave on their own.

Those people toured on their own, and more than 40 people left the palace while others were not paying attention.The people who stayed behind also knew how to avoid taboos, so they just put on a show and walked around, and then they all went to the back garden to wait in advance.

There is really a garden here, and every plant and tree here is planted by Xiao Cliff in his spare time.Little Cliff has been fond of flowers and plants since she was a child.Because Xiaomoya also needs to concentrate on cultivation, so he doesn't have a lot of time to tend flowers and plants.Most of the time, it was the maids who took care of her.

It can be said that the meal was not extravagant, and the most precious thing on the table was the relatively rare special fruit of the elves and the elf fruit wine, and the others were slightly better than the meals of ordinary people.

At first, these people felt that Bi Fang was treating them harshly or testing them.But when Bi Fang, Edward Louis, Bi Fang's wife, and the heads of the main halls of the various temples were all present, and when their two tables also had this kind of food, they all understood that Bi Fang was here In this way, tell them that the Divine Favor Empire was first established, and the supplies are not abundant, so I hope everyone below him will be frugal and not wasteful.

"To be honest, I can't afford this meal today. However, the Divine Grace Empire is now poor, and there is nothing I can do about it. I hope that with everyone's efforts, I, the king, can also be like Like other kings, when entertaining the ministers, they can prepare a meal that can satisfy everyone without any calculations. Everyone, please!" Bi Fang stood up, raised his glass, and said to the audience All the people said.

When everyone heard Bi Fang's words, they were thoughtful, thinking about the meaning of Bi Fang's words.Bi Fang was born as a commoner and did not receive an orthodox royal education, so his words and deeds were even more difficult for these people to fathom.They also need to pay more attention to observing Shangyi, so that they can be better officials.

What kind of king to follow, what kind of words and deeds and official attitude must be followed, this principle is no stranger to everyone present.They also know this well.

After everyone drank, they sat down and started the banquet.

This meal, it can be said that the guests and hosts did not enjoy the meal. Of course, it is strange that this kind of banquet for the monarch and ministers can eat to the fullest.

After the banquet, everyone was invited to the main hall again, Bi Fanggao sat on the throne, and Prime Minister Edward Louis presided over the appointment ceremony.This time, the appointment ceremony will frame the administrative framework of the Divine Grace Empire.This is also the system that Bi Fang and Edward negotiated for several nights.

"Now, let me announce the imperial rights framework of our Divine Grace Empire. The supreme ruler is the king, who exercises all the supreme powers. Below is the Congress, which is divided into the House of God and the House of Representatives. The House of God is composed of the gods of the major temples. Composition, responsible for religious affairs. The House of Representatives is composed of talented and prestigious people elected from various places. It is responsible for the legislation of the empire and has the right to impeach officials. It has the right to supervise all officials. The empire has a prime minister and two deputy prime ministers. Name, serving in the cabinet. The cabinet is divided into the official court and the Privy Council. The prime minister presides over the cabinet, and the official court is responsible for assigning the functions of the ministers, and reports government affairs to the Queen when they meet with the Queen regularly. The Privy Council is the source of government administrative power and provides the monarch with "Private" advice. May also be called the King's Council. Provides comprehensive advice on the administration of the monarch. Is the monarch's think tank. The cabinet, under the auspices of the prime minister, meets weekly to decide the policy of the government on major issues. After that It is the specific functional departments, namely the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of National Defense. The Ministry of Finance is responsible for the national fiscal revenue and expenditure. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is responsible for external affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for several detailed tasks such as the imperial household registration system. Among these parts, it has the largest number of people, the most work, and the most difficult department to do well. As for the Ministry of National Defense, it is responsible for national security and the use of foreign troops. At the same time, the Ministry of Industry of the Empire is temporarily merged into the Ministry of Finance. "Edward Lewis In a very general way, he described the kingdom power structure of the Divine Grace Empire for everyone present.The people present basically have served in various countries, or grew up in the family of officials. Although the power framework of the Divine Grace Empire is a little different from that of other countries, it is because of the simplicity of the structure and the Much the same, so they can all understand.

"On behalf of His Majesty the King, I now appoint Holland Keane as Minister of Finance of the Empire." Edward Louis announced the first appointment.

Holland Keane is No.1 in the financial category this time. If it weren't for Edward Lewis, he would even have the strength to run for the position of prime minister.

Amidst the warm applause, Huo Lanmu Keen stepped onto the throne in the main hall.Bi Fang personally issued a letter of appointment to him.And solemnly hand over the financial power of the empire to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Prime Minister, thank you all, I, Huo Lanmu, hereby swear allegiance to His Majesty Bi Fang, and in my lifetime, I will be loyal to His Majesty Bi Fang and to the Empire of God's Grace." Huo Lanmu Keen followed the normal process, Swear allegiance to Bi Fang.Immediately there was more enthusiastic applause from the audience.This opening is such an important appointment of important ministers, which let everyone present know that Bi Fang's recruitment of talents from all over the mainland is not just talk.It is really necessary to hand over the power of the empire to the hands of truly talented people.Moreover, Holland Keane's financial ability has been recognized by everyone in the three major categories of finance, and everyone is sincerely convinced that he has won this position.

Now finance is the biggest crisis of the Divine Grace Empire. Therefore, after discussing with Edward Lewis, Bi Fang made the finance minister the first to announce the important role of the finance minister. I hope everyone can understand that the empire is now main direction of development.

"On behalf of His Majesty the King, I now appoint Camvas Brunn as the Deputy Prime Minister, in charge of the Court of Officials. Responsible for the evaluation, promotion, appointment of officials, and the selection and training of new talents, to provide a clear administration of officials for the empire, and provide A steady stream of excellent talents." Edward Lewis once again announced an important position.This position is equivalent to the Book of Rites in ancient China.

In a series of oaths and applause, Camvas Brunn was sworn in as the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the Court of Officials of the Divine Grace Empire.

"On behalf of His Majesty the King, I now appoint..." Under Edward Louis's series of appointments, all the main positions in the Divine Grace Empire were filled.

And these people present also formed the core of the civil servants of the Divine Grace Empire.

"Now, the main official positions have been fully appointed. Now, all ministers in charge, you have three hours to choose your subordinates from those who have not yet obtained official positions, and write down the positions that you think are suitable for each other, and report to His Majesty the King. Declare. Anyone who is approved by His Majesty the King will be appointed on the spot. They will become your right-hand men. Today, our Divine Grace Empire has 200 million troops to fight in natural disasters, and their logistics support work will be guaranteed by you. and provided, so we don't have more time. Now is the time to show your talents." Edward Lewis announced from above.

Hearing the prime minister's words, the heads of various departments immediately took action, and they all understood the truth that quick hands have nothing but slow hands have nothing.They all hope that useful talents in all aspects will work under them, and a useful talent can give them a lot of help.

Therefore, after Edward Lewis made the announcement, the entire hall suddenly fell into chaos, and various competent departments launched a battle for talent.

During this process, Bi Fang asked people to provide various fruits, snacks and drinks to the hall for the officials and quasi-officials to eat.

Among these officials in charge, only the speaker of the House of Representatives, Camvas Brunn, and the prime minister, Edward Louis, are relatively leisurely.Because, they don't need to select their subordinates anymore, or, their subordinates are not selected in this way.

This talent competition started from Edward announcing the time until the next morning, and the whole process lasted for [-] hours.Later, for some good talents who are really in demand, it is not officials who select talents, but talents who select officials.Those officials have to display their means and personal charm to persuade the other party to join their camp.

"I am very happy. I have seen a team full of vitality. I hope that with the concerted efforts of all of us, our Divine Grace Empire can become stronger and stronger. It will become the richest and most powerful country on the continent, not just the most powerful It is one of the most famous countries. Wealth and strength mean richness and strength. The task of making the empire strong will be forged by those soldiers with their lives, and prosperity will be accomplished by all of you present." Standing neatly in front of him in his class, he suddenly said with great joy.Today, there are more than a thousand civil servants who can go to the palace.For many people, this is the only chance in their life to go to the temple to discuss matters.Because, from now on, there will be no more than 50 civil servants who can go to the palace every day, and no more than 200 officials who have the right to meet themselves in the palace.Therefore, Bi Fang encouraged everyone present very earnestly.

In order to let them feel the importance he attached to them, Bi Fang handed out letters of appointment for all of them one by one.Although the whole process lasted just over three hours, each person had only about ten seconds to face Bi Fang.And in these ten seconds, they have to swear an oath and accept the letter of appointment, and the remaining time is extremely short.The only thing Bi Fang can do is to let himself completely belong to this person in this short period of time, so that he can feel from his heart that Bi Fang attaches great importance to him.

In the end, everyone was invited to have lunch, and these civil servants all boarded the carriage arranged by Bi Fang for them, and went to various places.

"Prime Minister Edward, the next thing is all up to you. The disaster of the undead army in the land of natural disasters is still ruled out. If this crisis cannot be completely resolved, the mainland may fall into the world of the undead army again at any time, and , will be more tragic than ever before. Therefore, in the next time, I need to practice with all my heart, and I must practice to the Dzogchen realm of martial arts before the arrival of the natural disaster emperor Balta. Therefore, I hope you can help I managed the empire well during this period. If you need anything, you can go to the people of the God Council, and they will give you the greatest help. The people of the God Council are people who can be completely trusted." Bi Fang saw the civil servants They all left, and only some people who were going to work in the main city of Xinghuo City stayed here, but they all went to their own business, so they said to the prime minister.

"Your Majesty, I would like to know what is going on with the Emperor of Natural Disasters. If I can't fully understand this matter, it will make me deviate when I formulate policies. Although I know, this matter I shouldn't ask about it, but in fact, I think the most urgent thing we need to do now in the Divine Grace Empire is disarmament. But I know that under such a difficult situation, you not only did not disarm, but also vigorously developed the army , almost the entire empire is serving the army. If I didn’t know that His Majesty is not a militaristic person, I really doubt that I am working for an ambitious careerist.” Edward Louis finally asked his heart question.

"It's a long story, but since you asked, I might as well tell you everything. There are many layers of worlds in this world. The highest layer is God Realm, Demon Realm, Underworld and Elemental Realm. "Bi Fang began to complain.
