On weekdays, they are all arrogant and arrogant, as if they are a source of divination for the people, and the clan relies entirely on the power of the system. [No pop-up novel website] Once you encounter "hard goods" that cannot be controlled by the system, you will only suffer.
Naturally, the Australians did not buy into the Ming Dynasty's system, and all the government officials were very understanding. Gao De originally planned that they might cause riots or something. Unexpectedly, after seeing the shining spears and swords all around, they all obediently lined up and left the city without saying a word. Even the ropes prepared to tie people up were not used.
The team leaders and key personnel among them enjoyed special treatment and were directly tied up and stuffed into the loading oxcart and pulled out. They will enjoy individual rooms in the study group.
The place where the government officials go is the "study class", and the study class is certainly not for "study". Yes, it is mainly used for screening and interrogation. before finally dealing with these people. Dude planned to get as much information as possible from their mouths.
As for the six rooms. Household housing has been fully accepted by a special group of the Planning Commission. Because of the financial problems of the county involved in the household room, except for the arrested Chen Mingwang and a group of his "food poor", the others were temporarily retained until they were cleared up slowly. The post about the appointment of the secretary of the household room on July 7 was also Didn't come down. But he had officially taken over the place, escorted by the bayonet of the Crossing Group of course.
Gao De also didn't trust Zhou Qi. In his opinion, none of these people who came out of the old system could be reused. Zhou Qi is just a temporary transitional figure. He has another set of plans on how to deal with the household houses and how to carry out the future grain collection and taxation work.
All personnel in the execution room are temporarily retained, but the secretary Zhang Shi has been arrested. His arrest was mainly related to Chen Ming.com. Since he is Chen Mingwang's brother-in-law, he can no longer stay in such a position. Rather catch the wrong one. Definitely a good fit. Since the clerks of the other offices had to deal with their daily business, they were summoned to the county government office, and Xiong Buyou announced that they should continue to work in the government office. "Serve the emperor with all my heart. To serve the court, you are not allowed to leave the yamen. The retained personnel in each room will be treated in the same way.
"Although the staff in the official's office will not move, if you ask Lihai to send someone to take over, and they are not allowed to move the archives and materials inside, you have to give instructions to Zhou Botao.
The Lifang controls the county's Lijia, Baozheng, township officials and other personnel systems, as well as the Yamen's official and subordinate files, etc., all of which are under the management of the office. All appointments, removals, promotions, transfers, and salary additions must go through its hands. It is equivalent to the county personnel bureau plus organization department in modern time and space. Great authority.
The Chuan Chuan Group must clearly understand the "local cadres" system in Lingao County, Ming Dynasty. The files of this department are crucial. Special personnel have also been assigned to control the racks and storage rooms in the county that specialize in archival materials.
another one. The most important skill is the county's warehouse. One of the people arrested that night was the clerk in charge of the warehouse. After this person was caught, he was immediately imprisoned in the county government office to await disposal. The Planning Commission has little confidence in how much rice can be collected from the county warehouse in Lingao County. but. There will always be a little bit of it. And the property of this treasurer's family will not be much less.
As for other subordinate officials in the county government, they include jailers, qianzuo, executioners, warehouse-level officials, and executioners. We are all professionals, and although there are drawbacks in almost every link, cleaning them up is not a top priority. Just keep it for now.
That night, the Lingao County government office was brightly lit. Been busy all night. Every household in the county was closed and did not dare to come out to visit, and the whole county fell into an atmosphere of tension and uneasiness. Xiong Bucai was sitting in the county government office directing everything and was very busy.
Wu Mingjin and Wang Zhaomin had no idea what happened in Qianyamen. After the interrogation in the flower hall ended at noon. Wu Ya came in and told the whole story. This result made him quite satisfied.
"It seems that Australians also know the details of local governance, and appeasing Lie Shenfang is the top priority," Wang Zhaomin commented.
Wu Mingjin, however, frowned: "It's a good thing to appease Zhu Shen. I just rebuked Chen Mingwang. I also dismissed a grain clerk. What should I do if I receive half of the Qiu Fu?"
"Don't worry about this, Dong Weng." Wang Zhaomin was confident. "Since they dare to arrest Chen Minggang, they naturally have countermeasures.
Wang Zhaomin volunteered and said he was willing to contact the Australians and ask them to come up with practical strategies on how to pay the autumn tax. Return again.
"Just don't make any more trouble this time?" Wu Mingjin sighed, feeling that his role as an official was a bit thrilling. The good mood he had cultivated for more than half a year by sitting back and enjoying the fruits of his career was now gone.
By the afternoon. He even fell into panic. A servant suddenly came to report that the county government offices were blocked before and after. Even the passage to the front office was guarded and no one was allowed in or out.
"Looking at the clothes, he is a brother of Zaoban. But I don't know the younger one!" the servant reported.
"Is there such a thing?" Wu Mingjin was shocked. What is this for?
"Please come over, Mr. Wang!"... It's eight mountains. He came back after a while and told me about the passage to Mr. Wang's yard. No one is allowed in or out now.
Wu Mingjin's mood, which had always been ups and downs, once again fell into despair and coexisted peacefully with the fashionable thieves until his dream of leaving office was completely shattered. It seems that they are really going to rebel this time. I just don’t know if I should accept a fake job. Wu Mingjin was frightened by this terrible thought that had been haunting him since morning. Although he was prepared to die rather than surrender, death was coming. It is still difficult for people to face their own fears. That night. Everyone in the county government spent a sleepless night. Wu Mingjin didn't close his eyes all night, listening to the sound of the front office with fear. However, apart from more footsteps, there was no killing or looting incident as he expected. When the east was white, Wu Mingjin got up in the detention room. In order to avoid family inquiries, he did not go back to the inner house to wash up hastily. The servant brought breakfast. Question: Master Wang is already here. Do you want to invite him in?
"Of course! Please come in right away." Wu Mingjin almost didn't even want to eat breakfast, thinking that Master Wang probably hadn't eaten either. "Ask the kitchen to bring in more."
Wang Zhaomin said that he had already eaten it. Look at his appearance. He didn't look frightened at all. Still a little proud. Wu Mingjin couldn't help but become suspicious. Could it be that Mr. Wang helped the thief do something yesterday? The fashionable thief is always generous with his actions.
Master Wang didn't know that Dong Zong had doubts about him. Quickly tell him the important news you heard in the morning.
"All the Australians have agreed to the autumn harvest." Master Wang knew that his employer was most concerned about this matter. "If the county's autumn grain harvest is not available for a while, they will pay for it in advance."
"Advance payment?!" Wu Mingjin was surprised. Even the forehead is consumed with rice. It would take at least 12,000 to 3,000 koku to get through with just brown rice. This is Lingao, not Nanzhili. Not only is the population sparse, but the field output is even pitiful. Even if the thieves have their own secret method of growing rice, they still have over ten thousand people under their command. These people also need rice to eat.”
"Not bad." Wang Zhaomin was obviously very confident about the ability of the traveling group, "Mr. Xiong and a gentleman from Delong Grain Store will come to see Dong Weng soon to talk about Qiu Fu."
"How much interest do they want?" Wu Mingjin knew that there was no free pie in the sky. Advance taxes also existed in other places. For example, when some counties levied summer taxes, the court specified that wheat should be collected, but local wheat was not harvested until autumn. Then the county usually borrows grain from the large households in the county to cope with the problem, and then repays it after the autumn harvest, of which there is naturally a sum of interest.
"No interest." Wang Zhaomin said with a proud look on his face, "Master Xiong said it, because of the Chen Ming.com incident. The matter of autumn tax collection needs to be sorted out again. In order not to miss the deadline for paying grain. Let's start with They advance the amount and the rice consumption. They even handle the transportation and warehouse delivery."
There is a huge miscellaneous fee for shipping and warehouse delivery, which is cumbersome and subject to blackmail and blackmail from the shipping owners. It costs a lot of money every year. This gave Wu Mingjin quite a headache. If Australians are willing to host it, wouldn't it be a great thing? No wonder Wang Zhaomin looked proud.
Wu Mingjin suddenly remembered: "The front office was very noisy last night, and the front and back were isolated. What happened?"
"Something big happened." Wang Zhaomin was invited by Xiong Bucai this morning. Xiong Bucai told him roughly what had happened.
"What?!" Wu Mingjin shouted, "This is unreasonable. Who will win the world in Lingao County?"
Overnight, so many government servants were captured, so it was nothing more than reprimanding Chen Mingwang. They actually arrested the leader of the third shift and the secretary of the execution room. This is simply a rebellion!
It's not that these people are very capable and loyal to themselves. How useful is exactly the opposite. None of these people are good. But the Australians arrested all the people without even saying hello to him. This is too disrespectful to the government!
"Dong Weng!" Wang Zhaomin said, "It seems that this Australian wants to get involved in the county government affairs."
"Hmph. This is blackmailing the emperor to make people." Wu Mingjin shut up at this point. If it were spread that he was the "emperor", wouldn't it be treasonous? Wang Zhaomin understood what he meant. The Australians were trying to evade the county government. After completely taking away the administrative power of the county government, they could act openly and openly in the name of Lingao County of the Ming Dynasty. The calculation was not bad.
It must be in the core area ruled by the Ming Dynasty. This trick may not be easy to succeed, especially in a small southern county like Lingao where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The area is vast and sparsely populated, almost isolated from the rest of the world, and the exchange of goods is extremely limited. There is little population movement. News from inside and outside spread slowly. Most of the local officials had not seen much of the world. The imperial examinations were not popular and they lacked influence in the officialdom. ! ~!
