Back in the city hall, Liu Xiang and Lin Baiguang began to arrange and dismantle the structures on Chengxuan Street. Lok Man Novels
"To dismantle it immediately is to punish without instruction. We will make a notice and dismantle it ourselves within a time limit." Lin Baiguang said.
"Then we'll give it 24 hours to dismantle it tomorrow, and then we'll do it." Liu Xiang looked at the troop dispatch schedule. The South China Army's logistics troops were still gathering on Hong Kong Island. "Xi Yazhou told me that the troops are now going to We had to act quickly and we couldn’t waste too much time on the military parade, so we decided to only arrange for the few battalions and directly-affiliated troops that landed later to participate in the city entry ceremony. The troops that had already landed did not enter the city and quickly expanded in their respective directions."
"This way we will be under less pressure." Lin Baiguang said, "If the troops stay outside Guangzhou, arranging logistics will be complicated."
"Let's first arrange the urgent things we need to do right now." Liu Xiang said, "The first is House No. 1, which allocates offices and housing to various agencies. This matter is very urgent - President Wen's provincial party committee agencies...the regional agencies also have Even before entering the city, the South China Army Headquarters also needs a house. These are the responsibility of our Guangzhou Military Control Commission, and we must do it as soon as possible."
Guangzhou's new urban area has been planned to be built on Henan Island. Now is naturally not the time to carry out large-scale construction. First, the relocated ministries and agencies must have a place to live.
Lin Baiguang said: "I have inspected all the government offices inside and outside Guangzhou. The houses are adequate, but many houses are badly damaged and need to be repaired. The workload of garbage removal and cleaning is not small." He He opened the map and said, "This is roughly the arrangement..."
In addition to the Guangzhou Municipal Government, which has clearly occupied the Guangzhou government offices, and the two district governments, which have occupied the county offices of Panyu and Nanhai, Lin Baiguang's arrangements are the Guangdong regional agencies: Guangdong Provincial Envoy Si Yamen; National Army Guangdong Command Department: Guangzhou Wei Yamen; Courts and Procuratorate: Press and Inspection Department Yamen; Municipal Police Department: Lingnan Road Yamen; Monopoly Bureau and Taxation Bureau: Salt Affairs Department; Propaganda Department: Tixue Road Yamen; Political Security Bureau: Guangdong Inspection Bureau of the Metropolitan Procuratorate Press the Censor Yamen.
The advantage of this arrangement is that all agencies are close to Chengxuan Street, making communication easy.
Lin Baiguang nodded: "I'll ask someone to arrange this. There are actually a lot of empty official rooms, but they are a little dilapidated."
"Cleaning. That is the business of each agency. House repairs can be outsourced to the wooden cabinets in the city first. Zi Ji has been in Guangzhou for so many years. There should be a lot of wooden cabinets coming and going."
"The second thing is the household registration census. Logically speaking, this is a priority..." Liu Xiang smiled bitterly, "But we don't have a police station yet. The yellow book in the household is useful. But there must be something wrong with the data in it, and the most terrible thing is What’s strange is that there are no house numbers in this city yet.”
"We can do these two things together." Lin Baiguang said, "First find the licensees from various places. They are very familiar with the situation in this section. Let them lead the way, check the registered households one by one, and order the house numbers and street numbers by the way. As for the police station, we don’t even have a police station now, so we can postpone it. Build three police stations first. We have to control the general matters, and we will talk about it later."
Although Lin Baiguang expressed his unwillingness to be the police chief, he had his own ideas about public security work in the city. The establishment of police stations is not an urgent matter. Firstly, they do not have so many naturalized police officers. Secondly, there is a certain scientific basis for how to deploy police stations and the size of their jurisdiction. It may not be appropriate to set up police stations without detailed population data.
"There are only two main points in police work: maintaining law and order and checking household registrations." Lin Baiguang said, "Others can be temporarily pushed aside. The integrated detective team will be led by naturalized police officers to patrol every day. The patrol locations should cover all residential areas. , at least ensure the security within the city walls and various gates. Create a sufficient sense of security for the residents."
After Lin Baiguang left, Liu Xiang called Zhang Yunmi and handed her a note: "Classmate Xiao Zhang. You should immediately draft a proclamation for self-demolition within a time limit. The main content is these three points."
Zhang Yunmi's current official title is Secretary General of the Guangzhou Municipal Government, and he is actually Liu Xiang's secretary. When notifying Liu Xiang of the appointment, Xiao Zishan specifically reminded him: "Pay attention to the impact and don't think too much."
Zhang Yunmi looked at the note in his hand: "Shouldn't Lu Yizhong be asked to write such a notice? I can only write in vernacular."
"This is written for the masses to see, and there is no need for anyone to care about it. Besides, we must let the masses get used to our style of writing."
Zhang Yunmi nodded, took the note and went out to draft the text.
Lin Baiguang returned to his office, where the main staff of the Guangzhou Urban Engineering Department were waiting for him. These people are all the backbones who have been selected and trained by himself. Through these more than 20 people, he controls about 200 staff members of the Urban Work Department. At the same time, there are hundreds of peripheral "eyes".
"Everyone, please sit down." Lin Baiguang looked at the group of men and women in front of him who still maintained Ming Dynasty attire. They had made indelible contributions to the occupation of Guangdong. However, it is still unclear whether they can adapt to work under the new system. Except for a few of these people who were naturalized people from the Lingao sect, most of them were recruited locally in Guangzhou. Although they were all sent to Lingao for training, they have been working in Guangzhou for a long time, and their speech, behavior and mentality are very different from the cadres of the Qiongya detachment. He was very worried about this: he did not want a recurrence of the "anti-localism" turmoil that resulted from the conflicts between cadres who went south and local cadres.
"Now the army has entered the city. According to the orders from superiors, the Guangzhou station will be canceled after the transfer of affairs is completed, and our city work department will be disbanded." He looked at everyone's faces and seemed to be a little scared. Lin Baiguang continued, " The achievements of everyone's work are obvious to all. Guangzhou's bloodless opening of the city this time is due to everyone's contribution-the Senate also sees it.
"As for your future work arrangements, most of you will be transferred to the Comprehensive Management Office with me. The person who was originally responsible for intelligence will be responsible for the National Police System General Affairs Section 9 in the future. The new director will take office in a few days. You should report to him .Old Bi!"
The person who was called to Lao Bi quickly stood up: "Chief."
Lao Bi's real name is Bi Defan. He was originally a "white member" of the soap class. He was originally the shopkeeper of a small shop. Because he couldn't stand the extortion by the local gangsters, he spent money to get the status of a government servant.
He is an honest person and a conscientious person among the subordinate staff. Therefore, he was favored by the Ministry of Urban Work for development very early and became the main intelligence officer of the Ministry of Urban Work in the Zaoban.
"Don't expose your identities. Chief Liu has now reorganized you into a detective team. You will continue to work in this capacity and report the movements inside at any time. The meeting place remains unchanged."
Lin Baiguang did not intend to call these intelligence officers who were originally distributed in various industries to surface, but arranged for them to continue to lurk. According to the resolution made in advance at the security joint meeting, the original intelligence personnel of the Guangzhou Urban Industry Ministry and the informants under their control were taken over by the National Police General Affairs Section 9 - the General Affairs Section 9 is the counterpart of the National Police Political Security Bureau, and is managed by They receive intelligence sharing that benefits both parties.
Lin Baiguang then began to arrange the demolition of violations. When Bi Defan heard that the shack on Chengxuan Street was going to be demolished, he couldn't help being frightened and said: "Chief, this matter is not easy to handle!"
"What's difficult to deal with is the big thresholds." Lin Baiguang said with a smile, "Now that the dynasty is changing, these big thresholds are too busy to take care of themselves. How can I have time to take care of them!"
"No, no, there is another reason here." Bi Defan said, "I must know about Wenlan Academy."
"I know. It is a big academy with many industries. It has made great achievements in educating people." Lin Baiguang nodded, "Although they are very prestigious among the gentry, they are still scholars. Can't you understand this?"
"Those are the principals and scholars in the academy. They just sit and talk. There is someone else in charge of the academy's affairs - this person is not easy to mess with."
"Oh? Please tell me in detail." Lin Baiguang suddenly became interested. Guangzhou Station had little contact with Wenlan Academy, so he naturally did not investigate its background.
Bi Defan said: "The current host of the academy is named Mo Rongxin. His father used to be a minor official in the capital and became a godfather to the eunuch. After he retired and returned to his hometown, he relied on the eunuch's power to drive away the directors and took control of the academy. . Because he had eunuchs to support him, the father and son had controlled the affairs of the academy for decades and embezzled countless properties of the academy. There were thousands of acres of rented land, sand fields, oyster ponds, and fish ponds under the name of the academy alone. They paid for it every year. The money given to the academy is only a mere hundred taels."
Lin Baiguang thought to himself that there is a big owner here! During my several years in Guangzhou, I only knew that Wenlan Academy was famous and wealthy, but I didn't expect that there was such a story behind it.
He asked: "His father is the godson of the eunuch - the eunuch is probably dead long ago, and there is nothing others can do against him?"
Bi Defan said: "Both generations of their father and son have achieved fame. His father was a civil servant, and he donated a prison student himself. They are also considered well-dressed people. The Mo family is very good at perfunctory. Not only do they make friends with the Jin gentry, but they are also good at winning over the scholars in the city. Small favors keep coming. The most important thing is that the Mo family still has power to rely on."
"What force?"
"It's the people from Guandi Temple."
Lin Baiguang nodded, no wonder Bi Defan said it was difficult to handle. However, it is really unexpected that Wenlan Academy would collude with the Beggar Clan.
"Mo Rongxin asked his youngest son to marry the daughter of the leader of Guandi Temple, and they became in-laws. Therefore, no one dares to touch his power in the academy."
Lin Baiguang couldn't believe his ears when he heard this. It was unbelievable that the dignified director of the academy was actually married to a beggar. But it's normal to think about it again. The power and wealth of a beggar in a big city in this time and space are far beyond that of ordinary wealthy families. (To be continued.)
