Wen Desi first expressed his agreement with Zhang Xiao's doubts: "Comrade Zhang Xiao's concerns are very reasonable, and we have learned lessons in this regard. What's more, Guangzhou has an unstable foothold. But because of this, everyone should understand us more That’s it.”
After that, he turned to Wu Mu and said: "The situation in the past two years is very clear to everyone here. The Senate is unwilling to face instability in the rear while fighting the Ming army, and has to compromise with local forces. These forces also We have always behaved indifferently - we can neither really control it nor grasp the levers to suppress us. In extraordinary times, we do not necessarily have to deliberately pursue procedural justice. Our plan can be completely adaptable. Even if we arrest them all first, we can always find someone to take advantage of. Aren’t they people?”
The elders of the Political Security Bureau were already used to Wen Desi's violent remarks. He had previously told the junior elders in Foshan that he would not mind wiping out tens of thousands of people in Foshan Town if necessary.
Wu Mu was noncommittal, but Director Zhao obviously had deeper considerations on whether to adhere to procedural justice:
"If we don't want to follow the footsteps of those famous celebrities in history who were able to stop children from crying at night but were finally thrown away like rags, we must insist on 'procedural justice', because those who gain the greatest benefits from 'efficient actions' groups will try their best to distance themselves from it.”
At this time, Li Zhuoxian expressed his opinion: "As everyone knows, even in the Shunzhi period when most of the country was under the rule of a certain dynasty, Guangdong was still unclear and unclear for a long time. The reason for the embarrassing situation was that all strata of Guangdong society were faced with difficult choices of where to go. Later, the Qing Dynasty continued the policies of the previous dynasty and actively won over local gentry by holding imperial examinations, and then it was accepted and recognized by Guangdong society. Therefore, the rule of these two dynasties is a continuous era. Obviously, the Senate does not intend to continue the policies of the Ming Dynasty, so even if we are temporarily in decline in some areas and fields due to lack of strength, in the near future There will also be fierce conflicts with the feudal gentry. In my opinion, bloodshed is inevitable. But I can understand the worries of some elders. If there is an indiscriminate 'purge', unexpected local problems will be encountered during the Northern Expedition in the future. Resistance. The division must be well-known, and it is best to uproot potential resistance forces at once."
"This is both... and..." Mu Min couldn't help complaining. The more she learned about Guangzhou society, the more disgusted she became with these feudal gentry.
Another person said: "I still feel that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain..."
The municipal government team obviously did not agree with Mr. Wen's opinion. Liu Xiang's opinion was very clear: if there is no major case with conclusive evidence like the witchcraft case, he does not agree with the indiscriminate "purge" operation.
NND, Liu Dafu’s attitude is very ambiguous now. Zhang Xiao thought to himself, when he first came to Guangzhou, he was very keen on "criminal crimes" and "stirring family wealth". Why did he suddenly change his gender now? Could it be that he has some kind of interest relationship with the local gentry? This is worth digging into...
While he was thinking wildly, the meeting mentioned in the report on Jin Shen's movements that Chen Bangyan might be connected with the Huashan bandits.
He is quite familiar with the Huashan bandits. In the history of old time and space, they were an important force in Guangdong's anti-Qing forces in the late Ming Dynasty. In this time and space, Zhang Xiao has seen their names more than once in relevant newsletters and announcements. Because in this time and space, they are also a potential force that threatens the Senate's rule in Guangdong. Shortly after taking Guangzhou, he became the number one target in the public security crackdown campaign.
I didn’t expect they were still there! Although he knew it was inappropriate to ask this question, he couldn't help but ask: "The Huashan bandits are still there? I thought they would have disappeared after two years of public security campaigns."
"This is also something I want to bring up in today's meeting." Liu Xiang glanced at him and said, "After we occupied the various state capitals in Guangdong, the administrative divisions still followed the Ming Dynasty settings. Huashan is located at the junction of several counties. The terrain is difficult, the people are mixed, and it is far away from the county governments. It has always been the main area where bandits gather in Guangdong. It is known as the three invincible places of Panyu, Qingyuan, and Conghua. It gradually calmed down after Hua County was separated in the early years of Kangxi. There were many purges. , new bandit gangs appeared soon, indicating that our local governance is still insufficient."
Another reason Liu Xiang did not mention is that this area lacks powerful gentry or powerful clans. The municipal government's desire to maintain law and order at a low cost in the Huashan area lacks local support and is difficult to achieve. Now I can only make great efforts to manage it myself.
"What do you mean by Dafu, add Hua County?" Zhang Xiao understood Liu Xiang's purpose.
"That's right," Liu Xiang said, "In fact, as early as the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, some gentry petitioned to establish a county in Huashan. I propose to meet the needs of the situation and divide Huaning Fort, Sushan Fort, and Luocun in Sanjiangdu, Nanhai District Fort and other places, as well as parts of Panyu District, will be combined into Huaxian County to strengthen the management of this three-nothing zone."
Liu Xiang asked Zhang Xiao again: "Do you have any objection? When you came here, a piece of land was taken away from your jurisdiction."
Zhang Xiao quickly said: "No objection, no objection. The water in the South China Sea is deeper than the Mariana Trench. I can just paddle out a few more areas. It will help reduce my burden."
Liu Xiang nodded. It seemed that this "pharmacist" with an industrial background had done his "homework" in advance. When Ma Qianju saw that the "Little Elders' Social Practice" proposal was a foregone conclusion in the Senate, he planned to let Hou Wenyong, the mayor of Nanhai District, concurrently serve as the director of the Foshan Economic Development Zone Management Committee to lead the internships of the little elders. Obviously, the elders were psychologically unwilling to see naturalized cadres climb on top of the elders and give orders, even if they were young elders, so they pushed Zhang Yunmi out and transferred Hou Wenyong to replace Zhang Yunmi as secretary-general of the municipal government. It can be regarded as making the best use of everything. Naturally, the post of Nanhai District Chief can only be temporarily held by Liu Xiang.
In addition to the cadres transferred from Fangcaodi Learning Institute and the Middle School, there were also a group of cadres from Nanhai District who followed the young elders to Foshan. After this mobilization, although Ma Qianzhu's plan came to nothing, Liu Xiang himself not only held multiple positions, but also had to deploy a group of manpower. He gradually became overwhelmed and finally sent a telegram to Xiao Zishan. This "pharmacist" has just arrived in the city. Not only does he seem to have a deep understanding of the local situation, but he also brought a team of people with him, which can be said to have greatly reduced his pressure. It seems that he has Gao Ming's guidance.
"President Wen, do you think we should apply to the Government Affairs Council for regional adjustment?" Liu Xiang saw that no one at the meeting objected, so he asked Wen Desi for his opinion.
Wen Desi said: "According to the current regulations: Guangdong Region can make its own decisions on the adjustment of administrative divisions at the county level and below in Guangdong and Guangxi. As long as it needs to be reported to the Government Affairs Council, the information on both sides must be aligned to avoid information asymmetry. Case."
In this way, after Zhang Xiao arrived in Guangzhou, he held meetings for three days in a row, including conferences and small meetings, one after another. The overwhelming amount of information exceeded his brain's processing capacity.
Although he often holds meetings at the industrial port, most of the meetings at the industrial port are of a technical nature, and rarely involve management and resource allocation. The number of participants is generally small, and unless it is a technical research meeting, meetings are rarely held for a long time.
It's completely different here. Almost all lines have meetings. As the executive deputy county magistrate of Nanhai County, he not only has to attend most meetings in Guangzhou City, but also presides over relevant meetings in Nanhai County. Meetings were held almost around the clock.
He originally wanted to convene the county cadres and important people in the county to talk alone, and then go down for a "walk around." Understand the situation at the grassroots level. Unexpectedly, after arriving in Guangzhou for a week, apart from wandering around various "yamen", I never left the gate of Nanhai County Government. My schedule was full.
Although he has not yet appeared in public, the "Yangcheng Express" published relevant news on the front page on the day of his arrival: "The transformation of industrial veterans brings a new atmosphere to local governance", officially announcing to the people of Guangzhou The county magistrate of Nanhai County has been appointed, and Liu Xiang is also preparing to formally introduce this new helper to the Guangzhou gentry at the New Deal presentation meeting on the 15th.
In successive meetings, he probably also learned about the current general situation in Guangzhou and Nanhai. In particular, he is most concerned about the situation of cadres and governance.
Cadres in various states and counties in Guangdong have studied the three "Civil Servant Guidance Series" drafted by Lin Baiguang: "County Government Policy Outline", "Government Guide" and "Common Laws and Regulations of Grassroots Governments", which he based on when he was the director of the county office. It is compiled based on experience and various "official guides" published in the Ming and Qing Dynasties based on actual conditions. In principle, there are no problems and it is highly practical. But a book is a book after all, and it is impossible to write down all possible government affairs issues in detail. The naturalized cadres sent out have uneven abilities, and many times they cannot flexibly handle problems based on the actual situation, resulting in many policy absurdities. Cavity board. This contrast also more vividly demonstrates that the elders were the nerve center of the entire Song Dynasty. For a long time, naturalized civilian cadres still could not replace the elders.
The naturalized civilian cadres in Nanhai are known as the "strongest lineup" in Guangdong, but after actual understanding, this "strongest lineup" is actually very good.
The specific water content is rural cadres and urban cadres. As we all know, Nanhai County is a subsidiary county of Guangzhou. The county government office is also located in Guangzhou Fucheng. However, Nanhai County is not only the "Nanhai District" part of the city, but also includes the vast rural areas outside the city walls. Because of Guangzhou's special attributes, the "Nanhai District" within the city walls has a strong cadre configuration, and the relevant experience and capabilities are also top-notch. But once they reach the vast countryside outside the city walls, the resumes of cadres look less good.
