Chapter 264 Autumn Fu Twenty-nine
Xiong Buyou took the piece of paper and saw that it was a "commitment note" for contracting the agency's treasury. This was his first time handling this matter, so he couldn't help but ask: "Is this all right?"
"You have to get approval from the Yamen and issue a notice to download." Wang Zhaomin said, "The matter will be settled. I will naturally handle it."
Seeing how sophisticated he was about this matter, Xiong Buyou suddenly became suspicious. Could it be that Wang Zhaomin had done something like this in the past?
Wang Zhaomin probably knew what he was thinking and said with a smile: "You don't have to look at me. This matter of acting as a public treasury has been handled somewhere in Ming Dynasty -"
"This method has many benefits," Wang Zhaomin said meaningfully, "Although I have never done it before, there are people among my brothers who can do it."
"Oh" Xiong Buyou became interested, "I'd like to hear the details."
"It's nothing unusual to say, it's similar to what you do." Wang Zhaomin said, "However, it also depends on the lack of qualifications. In some places, it can't be done - like here."
There must be several prerequisites for a place that can handle bank agency public treasury. First, it must be a prosperous area with developed commerce and frequent circulation of people and goods. It will involve the flow of large amounts of public funds - such as the prefectures and counties in southern Zhili. Banks will not be opened in remote areas.
The bank's agency in the public treasury is naturally beneficial to the public affairs, but the biggest benefit is private to the county magistrate. Merchants who open a bank pay attention to making money in a harmonious manner, discussing everything, and not adding insult to injury easily. It is much easier to deal with greedy and cruel cunning officials. Sometimes public funds cannot be used for private purposes at the moment, so you can borrow them temporarily.
"Then if there is a shortfall, wouldn't it be difficult to make up for it——"
"Hahaha," Wang Zhaomin laughed, shook his head and said, "No one in the Ming Dynasty can match you in the ability to observe things and put them into practical use. But when it comes to the ethics of being an official, your ethics are still very shallow."
"I will ask Master Wang for more advice in the future."
"Haha, with your talents, if you become an official in the Ming Dynasty, you will all be capable." Wang Zhaomin deliberately wanted to praise them.
"Where, where." Xiong Buyou said, "It is said that the pen of a friend of the secretariat is very powerful. Every word that goes in or out can be the fate of the family. It can determine life and death. Sometimes it will also affect the future of the master. Some people say that the world is full of gossip. In the shogunate, you can see the effort involved."
"This is not an exaggeration." Wang Zhaomin accepted it calmly, "But I am not good at studying and I am not at this level. Otherwise, why would I be a leader in this small county?"
He seemed a little sad when he said this, and seemed to feel lost for his own dissatisfaction.
It seems that this sleek Master Wang is also a dissatisfied member of society. Xiong Buyou thought, this is good. Only when you are dissatisfied can you be motivated.
According to the informants' reports, Wu Mingjin had gradually begun to distrust this master in private. Wang Zhaomin received a lot of benefits because he was responsible for contact and negotiations with the Cross-Travel Group for a long time. Wu Mingjin often wondered if he was causing trouble.
In this case, he could be pulled over in the future and cut off one of Wu Mingjin's arms.
So after a few perfunctory words, Xiong Buyou resigned. In less than a week, the takeover of the county government was completed, and everything in the county government was refreshed. Wu De ordered most of the action personnel to withdraw from the county. The new government officers who have completed the replacement tasks have officially taken up their duties. In order to ensure that the county government was firmly controlled by the Chuanchuan Group, a "county office" was specially built next to the county government, and transmission lines and telephone lines were installed. Xiong Buyou is the director. You Guotuan serves as the security commissioner in the county office and is fully responsible for the political and military security work in the county. In order to facilitate unobtrusive access to the county government office at any time, a closed corridor was built between the county government office and the county office.
After the county treasury was counted by the Planning Commission and the accounts were re-established in accordance with modern treasury management methods, it was officially owned by Delong Agency. In order to avoid irritating Wu Mingjin too much, in addition to the grain warehouse and bank warehouse, the salt warehouse, material warehouse and stolen goods warehouse were also It is managed by the county government, but all the treasury officials are replaced by interns trained by the Planning Commission, who manage the treasury in accordance with the rules and regulations specified by the Chuanchuan Group.
"The next step is to start a large-scale liquidation activity." Wu De sat in Zhang Youfu's house and continued to give instructions over the phone. "We must thoroughly check the assets of all subordinate officials working in the county, especially In a lucrative position.”
"Now Zhou Dongtian and the others are concentrating all their efforts on dealing with Chen Minggang and his group." Zhou Botao felt sad that there was not enough manpower.
"Ask them to expose each other," Wu De said coldly, "First select a few that are not important but have blood debts, find their enemies, and hold a public struggle meeting in the study class, so that everyone can repay injustice and take revenge. , fight to death a few."
"I understand." Zhou Botao understood what he meant, "I'll ask people to decorate the venue and make it louder."
"We need to find out everyone who has a grudge against them, whether they have blood debts or have suffered a small loss. When the atmosphere rises, the masses will inevitably take action -" Wu De instructed, "Let the masses vent their anger. But you have to be careful, protect others, and just let them suffer a little bit."
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."
"When will Operation No. 1 begin?" Wu De asked.
"Three days later," Zhou Botaohui reported, "the troops and necessary equipment for the operation are being mobilized."
Operation No. 1 was to remove all the family members of subordinate officials who were taken to study classes from the county. First of all, it was to ensure the stability of the county and prevent sabotage. Secondly, their property was inspected and used to replenish the Planning Committee's warehouse.
"We must prevent them from gathering in crowds to resist or setting fires - it will disturb ordinary people and affect our reputation." Wu De spread out the layout of Lingao County on the map, "Some subordinate officials live in clusters, and these families Pay close attention.”
"We have already made a plan to launch arrests at the same time according to the unified signal."
"Is anyone watching them now?"
"Yes, that's what the people in the Zhuang class are mainly doing."
"Remember, the entire cleanup work must be done quickly," Wu De said. "People and things must be sent out of the city as soon as possible. After the completion, people must be arranged to guard the scene - the special search team of the Accounting Committee cannot take care of these many places for a while. Just in case someone takes advantage of the fire and steals the hidden items that we didn’t find.”
The Special Search Team of the Planning Commission is a newly established special search team of the Executive Committee and is directly under the Planning Commission. It is composed of several traversals and indigenous personnel, and its mission is to specifically search for hidden properties and important items. Known as the "house raiding team."
After arranging the work in the city, he called the study class again:
"Did Chen Minggang confess?"
"Not yet." Zhou Dongtian's voice came over the phone, "I plan to start with other people first and collect all the surrounding materials before starting to interrogate him."
"Okay, but we must get it as soon as possible, especially the fish scale book and account book in his hand. We must get it as soon as possible." Wu De said the word "as soon as possible" in a strong tone.
The matter of collecting grain taxes is only halfway through so far and cannot be abandoned halfway. How many tricks Chen Minggang did in it, and how much of the real situation of Lingao's "Hidden Field" he knew, must be known from the account books. Not to mention the upcoming tax system reform and land property rights re-registration.
"I'll get it as soon as possible." Zhou Dongtian smiled on the phone, "I'll make sure he opens his mouth in one night."
"It's all up to you."
"But you have to arrest his family first, as well as the little wife named Hong. I think this old boy is a piece of meat, and he needs to be emotionally moved before he can be captured."
"Okay, everyone is keeping an eye on it. I'll send someone to take care of it right away."
After making the phone call, Zhou Dongtian returned to his interrogation room. The study class camp is located in a temple not far from the county seat. This temple was built when Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and when counties were improving supporting facilities. It is a type of official sacrifice. Which god is worshiped over the years? Even the locals cannot tell clearly. There is no incense in the temple, but some high-quality temples from the past are still standing, and are now used by time-traveling groups. Lingao Construction Company renovated the dilapidated houses that were usable, and simply demolished the stone house foundations that were not usable.
Construction companies used existing building ruins to build rows of barracks, towers and barbed wire fences. This place has a moderate geographical location and does not encroach on arable land. Although it is close to the county seat, it is relatively hidden. The Executive Committee plans to build this place into a prison in the future to hold important captives and prisoners.
Zhou Dongtian's interrogation office was located on the stone platform of a collapsed palace. The construction company used prefabricated wooden structures to build a fully equipped special modular house on top. There are all electric lights and telephones inside.
He crossed the corridor and opened a leather-covered earthen soundproof door at the top of the corridor. All furniture in the house is fixed to the floor or walls. A desk lamp was on, and the beam shone on the face of the umbrella shop Xiao Hu, who was handcuffed on the interrogation chair and had his head hanging down.
There were several of his apprentices in the room, all with their sleeves rolled up and sweat dripping from their heads. When he came in, he stood at attention and saluted.
"Okay, let's ask if there's anything."
"I have nothing new to report to the chief." The person in charge of taking the confession stood up and reported loudly.
Zhou Dongtian walked up to Xiao Hu. His face was clean and his clothes were neat, but he was exhausted. Zhou Dongtian adhered to the most important rule of doing this job in another time and space - no obvious scars. To teach his students.
"Okay, you're a ration man, do you have to be so loyal to Chen Minggang?" Zhou Dongtian knew that he had suffered a lot and needed a gentle person to play the red-faced role.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Please spare the little one,” Xiao Hu just lowered his head and cried, “Young one really knows these things.”
