After Liu Yixiao walked around, he chose Chaotian Palace in the city as his residence. [Full text reading] The west detachment set up camp outside the city. Most of the old cities in Hainan prefectures and counties are small, lack infrastructure, and have poor sanitary conditions, which are not conducive to construction. Therefore, the Civil Affairs People's Committee adheres to the Lingao model in terms of specific construction, that is, choosing another location to build a new city. It initially served as an administrative and military garrison center, gradually attracted merchants, and gradually formed a new urban center.
After the Danzhou working team settled down in Chaotian Palace, Liu Yixiao immediately asked Yin Chengshi, the Dianshi of Danzhou who was in charge of the surrender work, to report on the work.
"Humble job...Humble job...Yin Chengshi..." Following the registration call in the yard, a local servant trotted all the way to hand over the notebook.
The handbook is equivalent to a personal resume and can understand the person's basic situation. Liu Yixiao had heard it in the lecture and learned how to do it. He opened the notebook and looked at it, and then casually opened the "Conversion Manual" at hand to convert the zodiac signs in the notebook to AD. He knew that this person was already fifty-eight years old.
Yin Chengshi's native place was from Beizhili, and his family name was "Bagong" - obviously, if it weren't for Bagong, he would not be so old and would not be reduced to the ends of the earth to be a small classic history.
A fifty-eight-year-old man works as a minor official in a barbaric land far away from his hometown. Although he can make some money, the price is to leave his bones here at any time, which is quite miserable when you think about it. No wonder local officials like Sun Ruiwu had no feelings for Ming Dynasty.
"Please come in, Mr. Yin."
Yin Chengshi walked in cautiously. Since he had sold himself to join him, he naturally wanted to be sincere to the extreme. Dian Shi was "not in the mainstream", and there were no patches on his official uniform, but his official robe was still washed and neatly worn.
"Yin Chengshi, who is of humble rank, kowtows before you, sir." He said, kneeling down and kowtowing very skillfully.
Liu Yixiao was already accustomed to the kowtow habit of the natives of this time and space, but he was still a little uneasy when such an old man kowtowed to him: "Get up, we don't like this."
"Yes, yes, thank you, sir." Yin Chengshi stood up carefully and presented the gift list.
The gift list was a joint gift from the wealthy Jin gentry households in Danzhou: ten pigs, one hundred chickens, one hundred pieces of local cotton cloth and twenty pieces of silk. Plus fifty shi of brown rice.
Liu Yixiao nodded, and the attention was received by a dedicated person. He carefully looked at the first Ming official to surrender. Yin Chengshi looks as old as if he were seventy or eighty years old, but his movements are still flexible - the indigenous people in this time and space look very old when they are over fifty, but I didn't expect him to be so old.
Yin Chengshi glanced at his new boss cautiously. His mentality was very complicated at this time. He didn't want to die for the Ming Dynasty, but he was also afraid that the new foreign rulers would look down on his surrender, and he was even more afraid that they would suspect that his surrender was deceptive - so he would break up with him immediately.
Although this group of Australians were not considered bloodthirsty, he had heard of their reputation of showing no mercy once they wanted to kill someone.
"Are you the only official in the city?"
"Yes, sir." Yin Chengshi felt a little more at ease after hearing him ask about the city's affairs. If you want to ask questions, you won't kill people casually.
There were originally four officials in Danzhou City, but they had been understaffed for a long time. After Zhizhou committed suicide, he was the only one left. As for himself, he has been serving as the historian of Danzhou for more than five years. Very familiar with local conditions.
Liu Yixiao asked about the local household registration, money and food, and local power. Yin Chengshi reported everything one by one. He was very familiar with the local situation and basically asked questions and answered questions. Liu Yixiao was very satisfied. Needless to say, this level of understanding of local government affairs is much better than that of ordinary officials.
It seems that this is a talent - it is Liu Muzhou's established policy to properly retain local officials who are willing to serve, especially before there are not enough new cadres to replace them. In addition, it can also set an example for other local officials.
"You must have a good future as a classical historian."
"This...this..." Yin Chengshi's face was twisted, thinking that he was trying to take advantage of him. Officials like Dian Shi are indeed very profitable. "The villain does have some benefits, but I don't dare to go too far..." He glanced at Liu Yixiao and wondered in his heart how many gifts he would need to prepare to satisfy him? He did carry a gift list in his sleeve. At this time, he quickly took it out.
"This is a little bit of a mean thing from a villain. It's not respectful. Please forgive me, adults."
The most valuable thing on the gift list is one hundred taels of silver, as well as cloth, silk and satin. For a place like Hainan, it's really not too hard for this Dianshi to spend one hundred taels of silver as a bribe. Difference.
"You are good at making money."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, which made Yin Chengshi soften immediately - he thought that this group of Australians were going to play the "Master Qingtian" trick and use his head to win people's hearts. He was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"I won't accept the gift from you. You are old, and being a small official here just means a little money?" Liu Yixiao said very magnanimously.
In fact, he hated them very much - Liu Yixiao hated corrupt officials the most, and he had a passion to kill every one he saw. But we still understand the basic truth that killing people cannot solve the problem.
Now is the time to hire people, and we cannot lose the help of this local official who knows the local situation very well.
"Yes, yes, the crime of humble duty deserves death..."
"That is a crime against the Ming Dynasty that deserves death, and we have nothing to do with it." Liu Yixiao said, "Our Australian and Song Dynasty regime has always insisted on the attitude of 'dividing it into two'. All the crimes you committed in the past were caused by the Ming Dynasty, and you can also be considered A victim.”
Yin Chengshi didn't understand how a corrupt person like him became a "victim", but he accepted whatever the Australians said. Even said "yes".
"...But in the future, when you work for Aosong, I won't tolerate you doing this nonsense. You understand."
"I understand the humble position, I understand the humble position"
"Okay, you can just take the gift back. I don't want it. I now appoint you as the general liaison officer of Danzhou and the deputy director of the Danzhou Rehabilitation Bureau. I will handle all matters dealing with the local indigenous people through you. You must effectively handle the situation. Things should be done well - don't take the opportunity to blackmail and cause trouble."
"I don't dare to do anything in my humble position," Yin Chengshi said with a distressed look, "I will definitely change my past mistakes and serve the Emperor of Australia and Song Dynasty with all my heart."
"Gather all the clerks and clerks in the yamen who are still alive. I have something to do."
Immediately, he brought the seal of Danzhou Prefectural Government and Liu Yixiao immediately issued a notice to calm the people, asking the gentry people in the city and the four countryside not to panic and to settle down in their own business.
After gathering the basic staff, Liu Yixiao asked people to handle the case on the spot in the courtyard of Chaotian Palace: there were hundreds of people detained in the state prison in Danzhou and the prison cells of the execution room. This group of people must be cleared out quickly.
He brought with him several personnel who had been retained from the torture chamber in Lingao County to work together on the case. The detained persons were cleaned up. The Legal Research Office of the Arbitral Tribunal conducted a special investigation on how to clean up cases and prisons after taking over the local power. During this period, Wang Zhaomin and the retained personnel of the execution room were invited as consultants, and they had a more in-depth understanding of many of the joints and shortcomings. research, culminating in the compilation of a special manual for use by recipients.
This manual provides detailed regulations on how to handle cases and the treatment of prisoners after taking over power. Generally speaking, when peasant uprisings or dynasty changes occur when a city is captured and captured, "freeing all the prisoners" is done as a form of "benevolent government" after the city falls. However, it is difficult to say that this approach is appropriate from a modern perspective.
No matter how dark a regime is or how corrupt the judiciary is, it is impossible for all those in prison to be good people who have been wronged. There must be many real criminals, and some can even be said to be extremely vicious criminals.
Releasing them without any hesitation can relieve anger and relax for a while, but the result will be chaos in public security and cause a lot of social instability. There are many examples even in old times and places.
With the help of retained personnel, Liu Yixiao quickly sorted out the case files and prisoners' conditions one by one.
Those who owed taxes and rent, various "witnesses" and the like were all released on the spot; those who were indeed criminals, according to Lingao's example, a reform-through-labor team was set up, and the reform-through-labor team was relocated to a location in the city - the prisoners in the prison If the environment is too harsh, it will only waste valuable manpower.
It is not difficult to reopen a case where someone has complained of injustice. Almost all unjust, false and wrongful convictions cannot be hidden from insiders - even laymen may not be able to hide them. The main reason why the case cannot be overturned is the entanglement of interests and interpersonal relationships. Now that things have suddenly changed and these relationships no longer exist, it’s easy to sort things out.
It took less than a day to clean up the most important prison affairs - the ancients valued the ability of local officials to handle punishments and considered it an important indicator to evaluate the ability of local officials. The fact that the task force dealt with this matter as soon as it took over the government has the effect of adding points to its image.
The public sentiment in Danzhou City gradually calmed down. Liu Yixiao knew that his preliminary work had yielded results, so he called Yin Chengshi and asked him to make a list - Liu Yixiao was about to hold the "First Danzhou Political Consultation and Business Association Meeting" .
"Every village has to send people, as well as the big gentry households in the county. One person from each household has to come to attend the meeting." Liu Yixiao informed the general liaison officer Yin Chengshi, "The committee members of the aftermath bureau must be served by big households. This is Don't be absent from things that benefit your hometown."
"Yes, I understand." Yin Chengshi was very positive,
By convening political consultation and business association meetings, a "liaison officer" system was first established in grassroots villages. Through this system, initial control of the grassroots and the transmission of government orders were ensured.
Recruiting men, requisitioning grain, and sending missions are not simple forced extortion, but the most effective method to quickly instill the will to rule into the grassroots. Through these measures, we quickly grasped a large number of people, money and food from the local area for the work team to use. v! ~!
