The people of Qingzhou did not have any expectations for the prince to take charge of Qingzhou. Of course, they were not disappointed.
Their lives are too far away from those things. Anyway, life would not be easy for anyone else.
The difference is that I suddenly found that there were fewer officers patrolling in the past, and many familiar and annoying faces were gone.
After careful inquiry, I found out that these official servants had left with Song Zhizhang and others, saying that they were there to protect the safety of these officials.
Gradually, the people discovered that the remaining official officials seemed to be a little different.
It feels more intense than before.
In the past, the attitude was not so bad. At most, it would knock down someone else's vendor's stall, but it would not end someone's livelihood.
Now it's good, East Street is starting to drive people away and they won't be allowed to do business.
Chen Ze originally planned to sleep in today, but when he woke up early in the morning, he was so frightened by the news brought by Li Yuankang that he lost all sleep in an instant.
There was a stampede on East Street!
"How many people were injured!?"
"At least thirty or forty, they are all in the hospital now."
"No one died, right?"
"without."
Chen Ze breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "Are these officials stupid!? Where is Sun Fugui!?"
"It's being processed over there!"
"You caused such a big mess for me when I first took office. If this person dies, how can I carry out my work next!?"
Li Yuankang hurriedly said: "Master, calm down, it's just self-defeating."
Chen Ze glared: "As soon as Sun Fugui is done with it, get over here!"
"Yes Yes."
Li Yuankang saw Chen Ze getting angry and hurried out.
Chen Ze was completely sleepless and speechless.
Unexpectedly, trouble occurred just after the first internal reform.
Yesterday, Lu Qingyun and others finally came up with a complete reform plan, and then Chen Ze began to implement it on a trial basis.
The core is the three disciplines and eight points of attention of the fine traditions of the Red Army.
Qingzhou Yamen version 2.0.
Three major disciplines: follow orders in all actions, do not take a piece of cake from the people, and return all stolen goods to the public.
The eight points of attention are: speak kindly, be fair in transactions, return borrowed things, compensate for damaged things, do not hit or curse others, do not damage crops, do not molest women, and do not abuse prisoners.
Anyone who violates discipline will be sentenced depending on the circumstances. Serious violations of discipline will be directly punished.
Of course, since we want to reform, we must give everyone hope.
Therefore, wages and benefits must also be changed accordingly.
It turns out that the monthly salary of less than three taels can barely support the family.
In the past, some grains would be distributed, but in the past two years, the royal palace has collected grains for military training, and the grain depots in various states have been almost completely moved. There is no grain to distribute, and there is no replenishment.
Chen Ze, Lu Qingyun and others discussed the issue of salary and benefits for a long time, and even almost quarreled.
Everyone in the think tank felt that Chen Ze... gave too much!
The official job assigned at the end of the month actually required a salary of five taels!
Good guy!
Where are you raising your uncle here?
The think tank firmly disagreed. The most outrageous thing was that Chen Ze actually wanted to increase his salary based on the year everyone worked.
When Lu Qingyun was the magistrate of Lanxi County, his monthly salary was only twelve taels.
The main thing is that he is the chief of a county, and his monthly income is only so much.
You can’t spend it like this even if you have money!
Now Qingzhou Yamen has a total establishment of more than 400 people, and they still need to continue to make up for it. The most common official salary is five taels per month, and the team leader is not allowed to pay seven taels, and the head arresters are not allowed to go to ten taels?
How much salary expenditure does it cost per month?
Nowadays, Qingzhou is in ruins and awaits development, and the people's livelihood is promising. Every penny should be used wisely, rather than used for monthly payments!
But in the end, I still couldn't say anything about Chen Ze.
Present the facts and be reasonable!
Lu Qingyun and others are honest, thrifty, and can lead by example, which is indeed admirable.
But people have to live their lives!
You can't expect everyone to have the same noble spirit of serving the country and the people, and working hard and being simple.
At the very least, you have to let people have a successful life, right? ?
You work for me, and I make you eat rotten vegetables every day. Can you persist mentally, but can your body bear it?
Put people first! Officials are also common people!
In the end, it was Chen Ze who overrode the public opinion and raised all the salaries of Qingzhou Yamen significantly.
In addition, the monthly payment will be increased according to the year of employment, and will increase by one or two after five years.
Of course, five or two months' money is not outrageous. According to the current prices in Qingzhou, you can still eat meat several times a month without living expenses.
However, this is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.
For example, those sugar-making masters looked shocked when they were paid five to two months a month.
As expected, the establishment of a Financial Secretary is still quite necessary.
Lu Qingyun and others cannot be allowed to manage money, otherwise everyone under them will have a hard time, which will not be conducive to the overall operation, and they will only be responsible for government operations.
When the officials of Qingzhou Yamen learned that their monthly salary was mentioned as five taels, they were naturally in disbelief.
"What am I dreaming about in broad daylight?"
"Fifty taels a month!? Oh my god!? Double the monthly money!?"
"What if the difference is one or two taels per month after five years of service!?"
When the news was announced, doubts arose throughout Qingzhou Yamen.
It wasn't until Sun Fugui, who had just been promoted to the chief arrest officer of Qingzhou Yamen, personally confirmed the matter, and on this basis, there were also living allowances, travel allowances, clothing subsidies, and pension subsidies.
If there are too many people in the family and there are no other sources of income, a certain amount of money and food will be subsidized every month based on the number of people in the family.
Travel expenses can be reimbursed, and there are also subsidies for official uniforms and boots.
Finally, there is the pension subsidy. For those who died in the line of duty, the pension will be 100 taels of silver, and the monthly payment will be paid correctly. The family will receive it on their behalf until the children in the family have the ability to survive independently. Special care will be given in special circumstances.
Of course, more people must be skeptical.
However, Sun Fugui personally went to the homes of those officials who had died that day to distribute pension subsidies and monthly payments for that month.
Now everyone had no choice but to believe it, even the families of the victims were confused.
Even though people are dead, they still pay monthly money! ?
Mother!
His Royal Highness is really serious now! ?
However, the officials were not given time to be grateful. As their remuneration increased, the quality of all the officials also needed to be improved. Ideological education began that night. Everyone must keep in mind the three disciplines and eight points of attention. From now on, this will be law enforcement. Standards, everyone has the obligation to supervise each other, otherwise they will be punished together!
In addition to ideological education and construction, there is also conduct, appearance, law enforcement capabilities, etc... a lot of training!
The regulations had been worked out a long time ago. Lu Qingyun's subordinates arrested suspects of rural arson in Lanxi County one after another, and sent Comrade Liu Hanlin, nicknamed Liu Erluzi, as an instructor.
But who would have thought that he would get into trouble the next day!
