From Wild Mage to Wizard King

After a day of discussion, the final plan for administrative reform was officially confirmed.

First, the capital status of Old Qi was officially established, with Roland as the supreme leader and holding the highest power.

Authorized by Roland, the capital Old Qi established a central agency, which exercised Roland's highest administrative power on behalf of Roland, and formally established the principle of centralization and the central government's supremacy over the local government.

Combining Julius's suggestions and Roland's plan, in order to clarify the powers, according to the current situation of the territory, the central government has seven departments: the Administrative Department, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Engineering, the Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Management and the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The Administrative Department is the highest administrative agency, responsible for the formulation, review and implementation of central government orders and policies, and is also responsible for the promotion of officials, leading and managing other departments and only responsible to Roland.

Julius, as the Archon of Old Qi, directly transferred to the Archon of the Administrative Department.

Ministry of Finance: responsible for the management of territory, household registration, taxes, currency, wages, foreign trade and all financial affairs.

Ministry of Agriculture: responsible for the management of a series of production affairs such as cultivated land, spells, and mineral veins.

Engineering Department: Responsible for managing a series of engineering and construction affairs such as construction and civil engineering.

Law Department: Responsible for establishing laws, enforcing laws, and criminal law and supervision departments for punishment.

Management Department: Responsible for the regulation and management of religious beliefs and traditional customs, and will also be responsible for education affairs.

Military Department: Responsible for managing all military forces including city defense forces, legion soldiers, and extraordinary people, and responsible for all military affairs. It is the only department that is not directly managed by the administrative department and is directly commanded by Roland like the administrative department.

From Roland's point of view, if a force wants to be able to operate normally, then the four most basic and core capabilities have been covered by these seven departments.

First, financial revenue and expenditure, there must be a clear and clear understanding and planning of the financial revenue and expenditure of the force, otherwise this force is prone to problems, and one day it may suddenly be out of money and unable to maintain the normal operation of the force.

Second, rules and order. If a power is to be established, it will inevitably establish its own rules and order. Whether it is the unspoken rules or the rules established in writing, a thriving power must have order, whether it is good or bad, and a power with order collapse or disorder will gradually collapse and become chaotic.

Third, government affairs processing. After a power is formed, it will inevitably have a large number of various affairs to be handled. Naturally, it will also need an institution that can handle these affairs and arrange for their execution.

Fourth, internal affairs and logistics. After a power is formed, someone needs to manage and ensure the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the power personnel. Only by managing and ensuring the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the personnel can the power operate well.

Of course, this is only the most basic and simplest organizational framework for the operation of the power.

As the power continues to grow and develop, these organizational frameworks will become more and more complex, and will inevitably be refined again. In the confrontation with the outside world, a new core dedicated to fighting against foreign enemies and maintaining itself will be born, that is, the army.

Considering the size and development of Roland's territory, the current division of seven departments is already very detailed.

This is the case when Roland accepted some of Julius' suggestions and reduced the number of departments.

In fact, Roland originally planned to separate the Ministry of Finance responsible for land, currency and trade affairs, and independently establish the Ministry of Land, the Ministry of Currency and the Ministry of Trade, and split the Management Department into the Faith Management Department responsible for managing religious beliefs and the Ministry of Education responsible for training and education.

The Ministry of Agriculture should also be refined, and agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry should be divided into three departments, and the Engineering Department should also be refined into two different departments, public engineering and military engineering.

The same is true for the Ministry of Law. Legislation, law enforcement, execution, and supervision can be divided into four departments, and the military department can also be divided into two departments for internal and external affairs.

However, under the data and suggestions provided by Julius, Roland still accepted most of Julius' suggestions and did not split the powers so thoroughly.

In the final analysis, Roland's territory is still just a backward agricultural power, with a limited population and output, and there is no need to refine it to this extent.

However, Roland did not accept Julius's suggestions in their entirety. He did not agree to the suggestion that the Law Department and the Management Department be merged into the Administration Department.

Although in Julius's opinion, there is no need to set up a separate department for the purpose of compiling a written law or managing religious beliefs and education.

After all, according to the view of this world, the order and rules can be used for hundreds or even thousands of years after they are established. Whether it is the Central Kingdom or the Silver Kingdom, the rules established at the founding of their country can still be used today. At most, they are occasionally repaired. There is no need to set up a special department to deal with it.

If it really needs to be changed, at most, we can draw more people to set up a temporary department to discuss how to change it.

As for religious beliefs, these are not managed by the state in this world. Basically, they are left alone. Faith is faith, and secularism is secularism. There has never been a special organization to manage them. At most, there is an organization for communication, or they infiltrate each other and get some of their own people inside each other.

This is the first time Julius has heard of setting up a special organization for management.

As for education, isn't that something only available to nobles? Even if Roland wants to learn from Sinar and set up an academy, the total number of teachers and students is at most one or two thousand. Does it need to set up a separate department? Isn't it enough to just assign a few officials to handle it?

This is how Julius persuaded Roland.

Roland expressed his understanding, then rejected her suggestion and said, I am the decision maker.

Others are bad, but it doesn't mean Roland has to be bad with them.

Therefore, the political reform of Jiuqi was decided in this way.

Set up a central government, divided into seven departments, and clarify the powers.

As for the local reform, it is also carried out in imitation of the central political reform, setting up seven local departments, and being commanded and led by their respective departments.

If the reform goes smoothly and the relationship between superiors and subordinates is clarified, the highest power of the local government will be returned to the central government, and local governors will not be able to do whatever they want and selectively execute the orders of the central government.

The central agency will manage the internal affairs, foreign affairs, military affairs and other administrative affairs of the entire territory, while the local administrative organs will focus on managing internal affairs, no longer manage foreign affairs, and reduce the management of military affairs.
