The local administrative agencies decided first, and then some adjustments were made to the administrative agencies in Hangzhou. Now there are nine departments under the Hangzhou Administrative Department, namely the Education Department, the Finance Department, the Zhongzai Department, the Farmland Department, the Industrial Construction Department, and the Commerce Department; there are also the Audit Department, the Documents Department and the Publicity Department that directly pay responsibilities to Shang Yi.//// In terms of division, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Administration.

These nine departments almost cover a basic administrative department other than military affairs, but now there are some obvious differences in Shang Yi's jurisdiction compared with the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, in terms of handicrafts, since the policies formulated by Shang Yi basically contain content to support the development of handicrafts, the handicrafts in Zhejiang are developing very rapidly, with more than 150 registered factories, including 28 medium and large factories with a scale of more than 500, and twelve factories with a scale of more than 1,000. In addition, there are more than 2,000 registered handicraft workshops based on family units, which is not considered to be half-agricultural and semi-handmade families. In addition, industries include textiles, silk, shipbuilding, woodworking, printing, machinery, salt control, etc.

Now the population in Zhejiang that relies entirely on workmanship to maintain survival has reached more than 100,000. The so-called germination of capitalism has achieved great development, and a brand new class such as the working class is gradually forming. Now the management of factories and handicraft workshops still belongs to the Business Department.

There is also foreign trade and flow. Needless to say, foreign trade has become the most important source of fiscal revenue in Zhejiang. Moreover, with the expansion of foreign trade, foreign flow has also expanded. Now there are three countries in the Netherlands, Britain and Portugal that have opened semi-official shopping malls in Zhejiang. In addition, at least ten countries have traders from many countries often travel to Hangzhou to do business. Therefore, Shang Yi planned to establish a foreign-business gathering area in Hangzhou to manage foreign businesses, including foreign personnel. Now all these things are left to the Business Department for management.

Of course, these are still within the scope of business and are managed by the Business Department, which is reasonable. However, with the development of Shangyi's power, whether it is announced to be independent or not, it will sooner or later establish official exchanges with the outside world. If the Business Department still carries these things, it will be a bit inappropriate.

In addition, since the Merchant Army is an army mainly using firearms, and Shangyi has applied some new technologies, the level and scale of mining, metallurgy in Zhejiang have also developed greatly. Not only has a large steel mill opened, but it also requires a large amount of imports of various metal minerals. This is also the main imported materials in Zhejiang. Therefore, mining and metallurgy have become a rapid development industry. At present, mining and metallurgy affairs are still under the management of the Industrial and Construction Department.

The same principle as metallurgy and mineral development is the textile industry. Textile products account for a considerable proportion of the commodities exported by Zhejiang, including silk, embroidery, cotton cloth, raw silk, yarn and other commodities. More than half of the manual work in the Zhejiang region are related to the textile industry, so the textile industry has also established the largest pillar industry in Zhejiang. All textile industries are managed by the Ministry of Commerce, which is obviously inappropriate.

In this case, the existing nine departments were obviously unable to meet the needs of development, so Shang Yi also decided to add four departments, namely the Industrial Department, the Foreign Trade Department, the Mineral Metallurgy Department, and the Textile Department.

The Industrial Department is responsible for managing the production affairs of various factories and handicraft workshops; the Mineral Metallurgical Department is responsible for managing mining, metallurgy and other affairs; the Textile Department is responsible for various affairs related to the entire textile industry, and the Foreign Department is divided into two parts, one is responsible for business and trade, and the other is responsible for external traffic. Because now the foreign exchange is mainly trade, Shang Yi does not need a foreign department for the time being, and then separate after the conditions are ripe in the future.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages. The division of departments is divided into details. Although it can make management more convenient, professional and direct, some new problems have also arisen. Many things require several departments to be managed simultaneously, such as a steel mill. Because this is both a factory and a commercial behavior, it must first be registered with the Industrial Department and the Commercial Department. At the same time, steelmaking belongs to the metallurgical industry, so it must be approved by the Mineral Metallurgical Department. If you want to import ore, you must also pass the Foreign Trade Department, plus the Finance Department for tax payment, and the Construction Department needs to be built in the Industrial Building Department. Therefore, you have to work with six or seven departments in total.

The same is true for a silk factory. Although it does not have to be in harmony with the Mineral Metallurgy Department, there is another agricultural department, because weaving silk requires planting mulberry and silkworms. Although it is not like later generations, one thing has to be stamped, it is much more troublesome than in the past. Therefore, Shang Yi's proposal has also been opposed and questioned by some people. Some people believe that only the Industrial Department and the Foreign Trade Department can be established, while the Mineral Metallurgy Department and the Textile Department can be hung under the Commercial or Industrial Department first, and wait and see for a while before talking about it.

However, Shang Yi also knew that there was no absolutely perfect system in the world. With the socialization of production, division of labor unions became more and more detailed, and management became more and more detailed. This is also the general trend. It is impossible to reject this development trend. It can only be solved by improving the efficiency of each department. Therefore, he did not bother to explain the principles of adding these departmental departments repeatedly to everyone.

But despite this, at the final vote, only the two departments of the Industrial Department, Foreign Trade Department, and the Mineral Metallurgy Department and the Textile Department were rejected.

Of course, if Shang Yi had to take the initiative, he could also use his prestige and influence to forcibly establish these two departments. However, from the perspective of maintaining the voting system, he followed the opinions of everyone and took back his plan and immediately came up with an alternative plan, namely, to change the Metallurgy Department and the Textile Department to the Metallurgy Department, the Textile Department, and the Metallurgy Department will be under the Ministry of Industry, while the Textile Institute will be under the Commerce Department.

This point was approved by everyone, because everyone knew that from the current development situation, the metallurgy and textile industries really needed specialized organizations to manage it, and this was the same in the Ming Dynasty in the past. Therefore, it was also passed.

Of course, these things did not pass in one day, but after three days, countless discussions, arguments, explanations and explanations were conducted, and finally a clear goal was set for the next development of Shangyi Group and the administrative organizational structure.

At the end of the meeting, Shang Yi officially announced that in the future, the main administrative decisions would be resolved by this secret voting method and retained as a formal decision-making system.

At the same time, Shang Yi has also formulated an interim system for secret voting:

1. The voting method is secret ballot, including "agree", "opposition" and "abstention". Any decision must exceed half of the valid "consent" votes before it can be passed. However, some major decisions require more than 70% of the valid "consent" votes before it can be passed.

2. The voting participants are headed by the eleven departments currently established, plus Zhou Shiqi, Wang Fuzhi, Li Yan, Shang Yi or Ye Yao-ying, who belong to the Administrative Department, a total of fifteen people are fixed. In addition, one or two relevant personnel may be invited to participate in certain major decisions. Shang Yi or Ye Yao-ying are allowed to vote for two votes. This is their only privilege.

3. The proposal to vote can be proposed by the voter or by the non-voting person. First, the discussion can be conducted. The proposer explains the reasons for the proposal and answers related inquiries from other voters. The voting decision will not be made until no one asks questions.

4. At the current stage, voting is limited to administrative affairs. The decisions of the United Front Work Department will be formulated by the United Front Work Department. It is not within the scope of the voting decision. The administrative department must obey unconditionally.

5. When a certain decision is made, three consecutive plans cannot be passed, Shang Yi or Ye Yaowang has the right to directly decide to choose one of the plans or new plans without voting.

In the past, although Shang Yi would try his best to solicit everyone's opinions during every meeting resolution, the final decision was still in Shang Yi's hands. Theoretically, even if everyone opposed it, as long as Shang Yi firmly requested the implementation, it could still be passed. However, Shang Yi basically did not do so extreme.

Now as his own power expands, the state system has gradually become a prototype, and Shang Yi also needs to consider the future state system. Therefore, from this point on, the first step in establishing his own national system is to introduce the voting decision-making system. In fact, the principle of the minority obeying the majority and replacing the independent strategy with collective efforts is the first step in establishing his own national system.

Of course, under the current circumstances, it is impossible to completely replace the so-called one. In war, individual so-called ones are more efficient and useful than so-called ones. This is the reason. It is impossible to say how to fight the war, and it is up to everyone to decide. Therefore, in the interim system for voting decisions, Shang Yi also left a large piece of privilege for himself and the United Front Work Department.

However, the officials had no doubts about these five interim plans, and all believed that this method of secret ballot decisions was very good. On the one hand, it could reduce a lot of sting and stretching. In addition, it also showed that Shang Yi's enlightened attitude and xiong-mindedness were not a person who liked to monopolize the power and act arbitrarily in everything. After all, no one wanted to serve such a monarch.

Moreover, he had two privileges and the last two rights, and everyone had no objection. First, it was indeed the time of war, and everything was given priority to war. In this regard, the ten mediocre generals combined together could not compete with a famous general, and the officials of the administrative department obviously did not have professional generals. Second, the Chinese in this era did not have any concept of democracy, and the emperor said it was natural. Officials only had the obligation of advice and advice. No one could be the emperor's home. It was very satisfying to be able to get a little decision-making power.
