    Chapter 911: The status ranking of Chen's cabinet is that the Prime Minister is No. 1, the Deputy Prime Minister is No. 2, the Minister of Education is No. 4, and the Minister of Finance is No. 5. So which one is No. 3?  Of course, it is the interior minister who cooperates with the prime minister in governing.  In other words, Kong Shangren¡¯s ranking is higher than Hou Fangyu.  This is a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty cabinet. Education is very important.  The Ministry of the Interior has even issued a rule that if a local official's office location is better than a public school building, then he can just wait for the impeachment of the members.  It is no longer easy to be an official in the Ming Dynasty. Just let the parliamentarians supervise you. The media is just like flies.  Clean officials are not afraid of trouble, because the press law stipulates that reports that are fabricated, hearsay, or without evidence can be classified as false accusations.  I am afraid that those with dirty butts and the bad habits of corruption in the officialdom for many years cannot be changed overnight.  In this way, being an official seems to be meaningless.  In fact, this is not the case. The annual salary of a county magistrate is 6,000 Chinese yuan, which is enough for a family to live comfortably.  If you are lucky enough to live to retire at the age of fifty-five, you will receive a retirement allowance of 3,000 Chinese dollars per year, which will be paid by the state until your death.  So, being an official is a very good career, and there are also some gray incomes, such as government projects and so on.  But as for this kind of thing, as long as there are no problems with the quality of the project, it will be fine.  But if something goes wrong, the consequences can range from exile to jail.  Why is it called exile?  Because North America, the place of exile for the Ming Dynasty, is now not a barbarian land at all, but a place full of opportunities.  When a large number of officials commit crimes, they usually seek legal counsel and request that they be exiled to North America and try to turn over their heads there.  "The delivery of the contract between the three countries should be a matter for the diplomatic department, why are you here?" Chen Xie asked as usual with an easy-going attitude.  By the way, opening remarks.  Kong Shangren bowed slightly respectfully: "Returning to the prime minister, I happen to have something to ask for in my humble position, so I took the initiative to ask for help." "Oh, you tell me!" Chen Xie smiled and nodded, indicating for him to continue.  Kong Shangren said: "Back to Prime Minister Chen, the Confucius and Mencius Institutes of the Ming Dynasty are now located in Southeast Asia, North America and the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty. I think that the European barbarians do not know the power of the Ming Dynasty because they lack education." What do you mean?  As for those European ghosts, it is actually due to lack of education. Otherwise, how could they fight against the Ming Dynasty?  This theory is actually nonsense. What matters between countries is interests. It is normal to use knives and guns for interests.  Where else would World War I and World War II come from, and where would the Cold War and the U.S. imperialist containment policy against China come from.  To put it bluntly, interests are at work, and they are just politicians.  For the sake of profit, you always have to put on a good-looking coat. Whether others accept it or not is one thing, as long as it looks pleasing to the eye, it's OK.  The meaning behind this meaning is two words: "ask for money!" Obviously, the Ministry of Education's funds generally do not dare to make trouble with the Ministry of Finance, but when it comes to funds such as the Confucius Institute, you have to report separately.  At this time, the archenemy Hou Fangyu would laugh three times, his surname was Kong.  Have you fallen into my hands?  Well, that¡¯s what it means.  So the question comes again, is the Ministry of Education poor?  This problem is not a problem at all. Thirty percent of the annual fiscal budget is spent on education. This is basically a wealthy department.  The Ministry of Finance has sent back all previous reports.  Why did Kong Shangren continue tirelessly this time?  Even come to Chen Xie to say it?  The purpose is obvious, why can't Chen Xie understand it?  Kong Shangren¡¯s IQ is not so stupid that he can take down Hou Fangyu just by applying some eye drops here.  To put it simply, politics is too easy to mess up.  In fact, to put it bluntly, it means two things.  One is to let Chen Xie know that there is such a thing, and the other is to try his luck.  If Chen Xiang is in a good mood and says, "Here is the report, I approved it." That will be an unexpected surprise.  Not only can I get funds, but I can also attack my political opponents and tell Hou Fangyu that Prime Minister Chen supports me, so be careful.  Chen Xie can clearly see this little thought. When they fight against them, Chen Xie will not get involved, nor will he provide any assistance.  "How did you deal with it before?" Chen Xie asked calmly. Kong Shangren twisted his body uneasily as if his acupuncture points were tapped.  If Chen Xie was just doing business, it would be better. But now that he was asking the question, he was a little panicked.  Chen Xiang was so powerful that even a veteran in politics felt uncomfortable.  Fortunately, I can tell the truth.  "Back to Prime Minister Chen, in the past, local talents would sponsor some, and the Ministry of Education would get some from the funds." Kong Shangren hurriedly replied, and Chen Xie said expressionlessly: "In that case, let's follow the usual practice. There is something  , but I have to explain something. Nowadays, there are many foreigners from various places who want to study or work in Daming. The education department can issue a policy to clearly require the police department that foreigners want to stay in Daming for a long time, unless there are special circumstances.  , The rest must meet a standard. That is, there is a standard for their Chinese proficiency, and if they fail, they will not be issued a visa. "When he said this, Chen Xie felt really happy.  In the past, I could barely read three books and needed CET-4 in English to graduate  Who knows who made the rules, but now they have to be reversed for the foreign devils. If you don't know Chinese, you can't even get a visa.  Kong Shangren was on a roller coaster. He felt very uneasy at first. Hearing this, he was really overjoyed.  Well, in those years when foreign trade was booming, there were many foreign devils in Ming Dynasty, as well as in some surrounding countries.  Now that there is such a regulation, it will be easier to handle.  Do you want to come to Daming to study?  You have passed the Chinese proficiency level and want to settle in Daming?  There's an exam to take.  Want to do business?  Well, the capitalists can't afford to offend you, so I'll let you go.  "For the specific implementation of this policy, the Ministry of Education will go back and come up with a charter. The tentative scope of implementation is in the mainland of Ming Dynasty. The overseas territories are mainly for long-term settlers. Chinese must be passed." Chen Xie was really happy. He had a big hatred.  The meaning of reward.  Kong Shangren is also very playful, this is all rights.  After stamping the Prime Minister¡¯s seal on the Three Kingdoms Contract, Chen Xie sent Kong Shangren away. After returning, he asked the Emperor to add his seal.  But now the emperor's seal is not in the hands of the emperor at all, but in the safe of Chen Zilong, the deputy prime minister of the cabinet. It can only be opened by gathering the keys in the hands of the top five ministers in the cabinet.  Of course, this is also a rule made by Chen Xie. If two seals can be used to declare war, they cannot be placed in the hands of one person.  The key in Chen Xie¡¯s hand was thrown directly to Chen Zilong. Wasn¡¯t this because he was recuperating in Xishan?  Chen Zilong is no longer young anymore. Although he is not the legitimate Prime Minister of the Cabinet, his actual power is almost the same.  Chen Xie basically doesn't care about things, he makes the final decision most of the time.  In the future, deputy prime ministers will basically not have this kind of treatment. Chen Xie is the first and the last to do this.  Why did Chen Xie hide in Xishan?  In fact, the reason is very simple. The "watch" on his wrist has been vibrating slightly recently, and he doesn't know why.  I didn't see that guy Wu Qi appear either. It was just vibrating and no information was displayed.  It looks like an ordinary watch, but it keeps vibrating slightly.  Chen Xie, who always felt that something was going to happen, had no choice but to hide in Xishan, constantly handing over the rights to others, and even accelerated the placement of assets.  No, after Kong Shangren left, Chen Xie returned to the study. The watch on his hand was vibrating again, but there was still no information. The vibration was very slight and could not be seen by others.  All the assets that should be dealt with have been dealt with. Chen Xie looked at the last asset, which was the gold and antiques he had accumulated over the years. It was originally intended to be brought back to modern times, but it had no chance to be used, so it was just shelved.  Now it seems that it is time to deal with it.  Picking up the phone, Chen Xie called someone. Ah Xi, who was over fifty years old, walked into the study. Over the years, she had been responsible for training some Japanese girls to serve as Chen Xie's personal maid.  This is also the reason why Japanese girls can be accepted by Chen Xie.  "If one day I suddenly leave, you give this document to the Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet." Ah Xi knelt down silently, raised his hands to take the document, and asked: "Master, what should we do?" Chen Xie again  He took out an envelope, handed it to her and said, "Everything that needs to be explained is inside. You will know when the time comes." How to arrange for people like A Xi?  Chen Xie's solution is to let them return to society and live a normal life.  Moreover, in western North America, Chen Xie bought them a large piece of land and left enough funds.  For Chen Xie¡¯s instructions, people like Ah Xi will only carry them out to the letter.  She has always known that Chen Xie might disappear suddenly, God!  This world shouldn't exist in the first place.  Zhang Guangde¡¯s actions in Europe ended prematurely, and there was still one British issue that he had not yet dealt with, which made him very unhappy.  The African Corps is already making plans to attack the British mainland next spring. By then, the European problem will be completely resolved.  As for the problems in the interior of Europe, Ming Dynasty did not care.  Just support France and go through the trouble. It is estimated that France, whose strength has not weakened much, will become the public enemy of Europe not far away.  Although I returned home early, it was already September when I arrived in the capital.  Zhang Guangde and Chen Pingdao went to Xishan, and Chen Ping stayed behind while he returned to the cabinet to report on his work.  He officially took over the post of Minister of the Interior. This position had been vacant for half a year, with only the deputy minister.  Zhang Guangde, who was taking up his new job, had no idea that his friend Chen Ping was in a complicated mood.  Why is Chen Ping¡¯s mood complicated?  Because he discovered a problem, Chen Xie has been sending people to pick up women and children from all over the country recently, and they take turns living in Xishan for a period of time.  Chen Jiye, King Xinghai, who would never leave Java in his life, took a warship to go north and had the opportunity to live in Xishan Villa for a month.  Your Excellency the Princess also came out of the nunnery of the Prime Minister's Office and was waiting for Chen Jiye in the Xishan Villa.  Ye Hai, commander of the European Fleet, also received instructions to return to China and serve as deputy minister of the Navy and concurrently as commander-in-chief of the local fleet.  This series of changes all indicate one meaning, that is, Chen Ping may really lose his father.  As much as possible?This father looks like he is fifty years old, but he is actually nine years old.  Chen Ping has always had complicated emotions towards his father. He never thought that his father would die before him. Now that he sees that his father seems to be arranging funeral arrangements, his inner emotions are very complicated. He really can't explain.  Know how he feels at this moment.  The Ming Dynasty, with Chen Xie and without Chen Xie, was a completely different country.  The Chen family, with or without Chen Xie, is even more different.  It was not difficult for Chen Ping to get some hints from his father's words that he could be a little bolder in some things.  From now on, the Chen family will mainly rely on him and Chen Fan to maintain it.  (To be continued.)
