A powerful person like the Ying'ao Xuluo family can control Yiliang City for generations and be the monkey pad emperor here, why can't we. [Read the full text] "Shi Zhiqi said that our people can only do better than these traditional local tyrants and bad people."
Of course, indigenous personnel who have been trained in modern administrative management skills will definitely do better than the egocentric giants. However, ancient society was a typical acquaintance society. The label of "migrant" is not easy to remove. Some families may have been reproducing in the local area for two generations, but they are still regarded as "migrants" by the locals.
Migrant households are excluded from the local social network and find it difficult to be trusted by local people. Of course talking doesn't work either. Because there are fewer people and more power, interests are often bullied and usurped.
The situation would be even better in a metropolitan city like Guangzhou. In a semi-closed rural society, it is difficult for outsiders to peacefully control local power.
The word "foreigners" in the ** words of the century has a derogatory connotation, not to mention the reality that a large population in a closed social environment is almost untouchable.
How to settle down one's own people and gain enough prestige without the support of large local households is a question that Wen Desi has been considering.
Now the local strongmen who resisted them have been wiped out. Most of them have been killed, and the rest are either hanging on the gallows or about to be hanged on the gallows. According to the established operational guidelines, this person will be eliminated. This is the euphemism for execution in the document.
Those who were lucky enough to escape death include their tribesmen's "distant relatives" and servants. These people have received some favors from them and are vested interests, so they will all be moved to Lingao to wait for resettlement. The Civil Affairs People's Committee will break up this population. resettled to the entire Hainan Island area.
After the end of these measures, the "rich and powerful class" in Yiliang City were completely wiped out. New arrivals can easily establish authority in the local area as long as they have sufficient funds and strong work capabilities.
While thinking about it, he half-reclined in his chair and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already completely bright. Wen Desi thought that a town meeting would be held today. Wen Desi quickly sat up and asked the orderly to come in and pour water for him to wash.
Of course, there was no need for him to take action in person when it came to convening a general meeting. The elders of the People's Committee for Civil Affairs who had specialized posts did not need to come forward. Wen Desi sat in his temporary office and read the various reports and requests that had quickly accumulated on his desk.
The captured country warriors and servants of the gentry need to be screened. The general principle is to punish those with public indignation and release them on the spot. However, who has public indignation and who just has private hatred is a complicated matter. Starting from this morning, it is secretly There have been more and more cases of people coming to the headquarters to complain about "x complaints" and submit anonymous letters. The civil affairs team has brought a group of indigenous personnel to deal with such matters.
The town meeting at the threshing floor went smoothly.
Wen Desi thought it was not surprising that the meeting under the bayonet did not go smoothly, let alone the 100 people who had been hanged from yesterday to today. At the meeting, several liaison officers were elected to be responsible for maintaining public security in the town, "remediating the aftermath, and approving the collection of reasonable burdens." Among them are the innkeeper Chen, the owner, and Li Cun, the local owner of a small grass mat shop. The last and only abbot of the temple spoke to the monk. Dao Liao presides over a Zi Palm Temple. The temple does not have many properties. Fortunately, there is only this temple in this town. Dao Liao undertakes all business related to the non-material world. The income is almost enough for their master and apprentice to live on.
These three people work under the direct leadership of the Civil Affairs Team. Wen Desi ordered to allocate 500 taels of silver and hundreds of stones of rice to the civil society as expenses. At the same time, the original public welfare organization in the town was restored first. The fire-fighting water club was reopened. The husbands also started to watch at night again. People whose houses and property were burned down during the fighting also received relief rice. Later, the civil affairs team prepared to donate more money.
It really surprised me. "Ji Xin, the arbitration representative who is responsible for inspecting and handling the legal affairs of the task force, saw that this temporary team was already in operation. Shopkeeper Chen, who was responsible for public security, Li Cunyou, who was in charge of the economy and reasonable burdens, said that the monk managed the charity of collecting corpses and relieving the poor. Everything quickly became organized at the affairs office. Before I came to Guangdong, I was afraid that if we openly recruit liaison officers like this, the local people would be afraid of official retaliation and would not come forward."
After the war, the practice of powerful local people coming forward to maintain local affairs is not considered surrendering to the enemy in traditional Japanese society." There are even praises for protecting Ji Zhang. Most of these people are local officials and wealthy people, who are originally required by the government. Of course, the grassroots rulers and collaborators they rely on will not punish their actions when they come back later. Of course, among them are upright people who sincerely serve the people and are eager for justice. There are also despicable scoundrels who try to gain profits and prey on the people. Very complicated.
At this moment, the Uelders have no choice but to use this person who takes the initiative to do things. Most of the indigenous people have not yet established basic trust in them. As for the quality of these people, we can only slowly examine them in practice.
With the local liaison officer, the civil affairs team's aftermath work was carried out quickly. The civil servants began to close up, bury the corpses, relieve the poor, catch the enemies who slipped through the net, and repair the buildings damaged by artillery fire. Private and public. The difference is that the former nursing home still agrees with the concept of the inviolability of private property to a certain extent. Of course, This is without interfering with the interests of the Senate and the Empire.
Liu Deshan's house was among the first to be put on the repair list because it was badly damaged. A group of sailors arrived at Liu's house carrying tools and pushing small cars filled with building materials. Liu Deshan had just attended the plenary meeting on the threshing floor in the morning. Although he knew that his life and property were not in danger for the time being, he still had doubts about the "reasonable burden" in the future. I'm afraid this amount will be a considerable amount when it is apportioned. .on the occasion
Just when he was suspicious, this group of people suddenly appeared in front of his house, making Liu Deshan think that the Chu thieves were coming to speculate. These tools are probably used to dig up floor tiles and demolish walls to find secrets." I was so frightened that I couldn't move.
Sir, we meet again. "The team was led by an Australian who came to his house yesterday. He smiled and waved the ax in his hand. Liu Deshan was so scared that he almost broke his pants. We are here to help you repair your house as promised."
"Uh-huh." Before Liu Deshan could react, the sailors rushed into the yard. Someone immediately removed the sill that Liu Deshan's guys had hastily ordered yesterday, and pushed in the purple-electric modified trolley filled with bricks, tiles, and lime. Some people were quick with their hands and feet. They set up ladders and climbed up to the roof. Some even borrowed a bucket from a waiter to mix lime and make mud. They started repairing the house with all their skills.
Li Deshan was stunned. In his mind, all soldiers were idle, idle, lazy, bachelors, and out-and-out officials and bandits. If they did not rob or kill, even if they were disciplined, they would compensate the common people after the war. It is unheard of for the army to personally come to help repair the house after the loss.
I never thought there were such people in the world." Liu Deshan praised him repeatedly. He quickly asked someone to boil water and make tea immediately.
"Master, there is no more Chencha." The waiter said that the Chencha was all used up yesterday.
Make the tea, bastard”
While Liu Deshan was busy making tea, shopkeeper Chen came to the office with a group of people cursing. The office the corporal mentioned was the original regiment training office. This was originally a temple that was abandoned and then renovated and turned into a public office. There are many houses inside and the halls are wide and suitable for offices. The detachment is here. After the Moonrise Sun broke the stronghold, it set up an office here.
The group of people were sent here. There is a large yard next to the office that is now used as a temporary dog shelter. The wing rooms were filled with people, all looking sad.
They were escorted to a courtyard alone. This was originally the lobby of the office. It is also the place where the members of the Tuanlian Office set up a private court to try cases. Any unlucky guy who gets suspicious people in and around Yiliang City or who offends the masters will be taken here and tortured. Except for the lack of plaques and ceremonial guards in the Yamen Hall, all public cases and torture instruments are available.
It is now temporarily used as a temporary military court to hear various cases. Ji Xin, the representative of the arbitral tribunal, has been hearing various cases continuously since the morning. Most of the people who came to file complaints were mainly wealthy and powerful people in the past. Some came to accuse them of killing people, some came to accuse them of raping women, and others accused them of taking property. Some come in person to deliver petitions and express their grievances, while others secretly send anonymous posts. This material is now piled up on a table behind the courtroom.
There is actually no need to try this case because the person involved was already dead when the stronghold was breached or was hanged that night. The prosecutor who sued Luo Tianqiu had many different charges and was full of five evils." Ji Xin thought that this man was really a typical bully landlord."
Although there is no need to try Ji Xin, we still asked the indigenous staff to sort out the materials, especially to collect enough witness testimonies. This will be the publicity material in the future.
If the defendant is still alive, he must be arrested and interrogated according to procedure one. This mode of trial, which has no legal basis and no evidence presented in court and relies only on the parties' mouths to refute each other, makes Ji Xin very uncomfortable because he has to rely on his own common sense, knowledge, ideas, and even intuition to make judgments.
Ji Xin does not believe in the theory that poor people are born good and rich people are bad. He knows very well that when a new ruler comes, many people will use this to plunder other people's property to change their own destiny. The false accusation against Fei is exaggerated. This kind of situation must be common.
Therefore, he paid special attention to the fairness of the trial. The theory he often expounds is that just because a person is guilty does not mean that all charges can be pinned on his head. "This is incompatible with the iron-fist theory of public security, procuratorate, and law led by Du Sou and the theory that law is a tool promoted by pragmatists."
Liaison officer Chen escorted several Xiangyong teachers to come. "Someone reported that these people did not admit it."
"Oh," Ji Xin nodded. Of course, people will not admit it. "He was very dissatisfied with the Wu Lao Yuan's decision to execute all the rural teachers. He thought it was suspected of killing innocent people indiscriminately.
But this was a matter decided at a high level and he could not object.
Bring it up. "He said, taking away the completed case files on the table and opening a new one.
Qingxia was taken to court alone. The scale of the scene here is no less than that of the county government, but there are no people in the hall, and there are no vicious government officials. There are only three or four people who look like murderers. The man in the center is six and a half feet tall, a strong man with a square face, thick eyebrows and big earlobes, and his skin is very white. It seems that he is a very official official, probably a high-ranking official among the thieves. Qingxia quickly pulled Jiang Suo to his knees.
Minxia meets the master."
There is no need to kneel and kowtow while standing and talking. "The strong man killed the thief and said that he looked kind-hearted and not as fierce and powerful as ordinary officials. Qingxia felt a little relieved.
Thank you sir. "
You're welcome. "This Australian actually laughed. What's his name? Where are you from? What do you do for a living?" Qingxialai only said that she and her group were just trying to sell their knowledge and did not dare to say that they had ever been rural teachers. He only said that he was framed because Boss Chen tried to seize their horses and property.
Master Mingjian, we are prostitutes who live everywhere and we are outsiders. How can we be the brave teachers here? "Qingxia knew that the only way to survive was to insist that there was no such thing. Ji Xin nodded and looked at this person. The woman in the middle who spoke was tall, well-proportioned, and had big feet. She was obviously well-trained. Next to Guo Wu's mouth was a seven-year-old boy who was short and stocky, and a woman in her early thirties with a somewhat pale complexion who couldn't even stand. She seemed to be sick. Such a person said that they were Teacher Xiangyong is truly incredible.
"Boss Chen jumped out immediately. "This person has indeed been a Xiangyong teacher and fought with the elders. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Xiangyong who was caught this time. He must know them." He then pointed. Qingxia, a woman, has an affair with Luo Tianqiu." Qingxia's face turned red and her heart was extremely angry. As a woman who works as a takeaway artist, her chastity has always been the subject of suspicion and mystery, so Qingxia takes this very seriously and does not allow others to misunderstand her. My virginity, which I had guarded like a vagina, was being slandered for no reason. At that time, I was about to rush up and grab shopkeeper Chen. Only when he saw the thief's bayonet was he able to contain his anger. He turned around and knelt down and kowtowed.
The girl is indeed a virgin and has nothing to do with Mr. Luo. Boss Chen is spitting blood, please let me know clearly."
Seeing the fierce expression on this woman's face, Ji Xin knew that she was telling the truth. He glanced at Shopkeeper Chen's smug look. Although law does not talk about personal impressions, the performance of these two people inevitably left Ji Xin with likes and dislikes.
Regardless of whether this person is Teacher Xiangyong or not, shopkeeper Chen obviously has ulterior motives. The idea of trying to blackmail horses may be true.
Qingxia, are you irrelevant to this case? "The dead thief sitting behind the desk is probably very dissatisfied with the inexplicable twist of events." He said to Qingxia, "Get up." Boss Chen said that you have been teachers of Xiangyong and you went into battle to fight. Is it possible? "
I reported back to the master that this is absolutely not the case." Qingxia categorically denied it and said, "We are just horse racing and selling solutions. We are all just showing off our skills. How can we coach Xiang Yong?" When Boss Chen saw Qingxia, she brushed it off as soon as she opened her mouth and her attitude was firm, for fear that the Australians would believe it. She quickly added: "Chief, they all have real skills. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to ask the people in this town." This woman's archery skills are extremely good and she can shoot money from a hundred steps away. Luo Tianqiu specially asked her to teach bows and arrows to the local heroes. He also pointed out that Jiang Niang is a woman who can throw knives. She still has a red wound on her leg yesterday. If she was not helping the local warriors in the battle, where did the red wound come from? "This is something that cannot be denied. Injury. Qingxia didn't know how to open her mouth for a moment
What Shopkeeper Chen said is true. "
Reporting back to the Lord, Minv and others are people who sell martial arts and practice martial arts. It is not surprising that they can make a living by performing martial arts. You cannot insist that if Minnv and others have Kungfu, they must be local brave teachers." The Australian pointedly asked Jiang Niang: Do you have something on your body? Injured?" Jiang Niang didn't dare to answer. She didn't know whether to say yes or no. But she was limping so much that Qingxia helped her in. It was undeniable. I had no choice but to say in a small voice that the girl was indeed injured. "
How to get hurt. "Qingxia quickly said that the master was accidentally stabbed by a civilian woman while practicing martial arts."
"They deny it." Shopkeeper Chen didn't expect that this young woman would be so sophisticated and calmly shirk the matter. He was furious. At this time, he no longer cared about the horses but felt that he was so helpless. In order to save face, he quickly took out the customer account that the customer had found.
"Please take a look." He pointed to the name on the account. This group of eight people arrived in Deben Town a month ago. They lived in our store until they moved out of our store half a month ago and then moved into the Luo Family Ancestral Hall. In the group room. The ancestral hall is not an inn, and Luo Tianqiu is not a kind-hearted person. How could he let them live in the ancestral hall for no reason. You will know this once you ask me, sir," he said proudly. And now there is only one person left. What about the old man? What about the man? Where has the other little child gone now? "Ji Xin heard that now he knew what shopkeeper Chen said was true. He nodded silently and asked
Shopkeeper Chen is right about this. "
