Zheng Chenghong is currently the only member of the Fuxing Association who has been appointed as the governor of the state, and he was also one of the first five people to be appointed as the county magistrate.
After the founding of the country, Su Yonglin promoted Zheng Chenghong as the governor of Haizhou Prefecture because of his best political achievements and outstanding achievements, making Haizhou the only prefecture in the country that can be called "Fuxing Prefecture".
It is strange to say that because of the prosperous private salt trade and normal commercial exchanges, this place was first controlled by Su Yonglin with the army, and it was also the first to be completely controlled by the Fuxing members.
It can even be said that it was Su Yonglin's template for using the Renaissance to seize national power, and it was also the testing ground for Su Yonglin to implement his own political ideas.
The Fuxing members here are conscientious, diligent, and work very hard to manage Haizhou, which was originally in chaos, very properly.
The method they used is also very traditional, which is to start from the grassroots level, build village by village, township by township, and register all the people in the state.
In the end, not only did he control the county government, he was also the first to establish a county-level judicial branch, and also established a county-level Renaissance branch. Each county completed its construction in accordance with Su Yonglin's political vision.
The county government leads the administration, and the judicial branch leads legal affairs. Since all officials holding positions are Renaissance members, the county-level Renaissance branch is responsible for supervising all of them, and is also responsible for the development of local Renaissance members.
All five counties in Haizhou have established such teams and they are running smoothly.
After running for a while, there were no problems, but a lot of achievements. So Su Yonglin selected the best Zheng Chenghong as the governor of the state, and all the political facilities of the county government were replicated in the state capital.
The state capital, state judicial bureau, and state-level Renaissance branch were all established accordingly, and their respective responsibilities were clarified.
Looking across the country, Su Yonglin felt that Haizhou was his paradise, everything to him, and the place where all his hopes lay. In Haizhou, he could observe everything he wanted to observe.
For many things that currently cannot be promoted nationwide, Su Yonglin chose to concentrate the manpower and material resources at his disposal to arrange them in Haizhou, allowing Haizhou to take the lead in running the political system he designed.
For example, the General Inspection Bureau responsible for public security and law enforcement in Su Yonglin's plan has not yet been fully established because it does not have enough manpower and material resources. It only proposed a set goal without even a shell.
But in Haizhou, Su Yonglin set up state-level inspection bureaus and county-level inspection bureaus to replace the temporary recruitment of personnel by the army and the government, comprehensively manage local security and law enforcement work, and accept the command of the local chief executive. One of Su Yonglin's measures to enhance the authority of local chief executives.
After all, he is a local chief, and he cannot deny him any authority.
If there is no authority at all, it will be like the Song Dynasty. The central government usurped too much power from the local government, causing the local government to lose the vitality of self-adjustment. There is no money to use and it is impossible to build public facilities. Except for Kaifeng and Linan, the economy in the country is good, and many remote areas are in trouble. It is a pool of stagnant water.
So since then, many people have said that the Song Dynasty used the power of a country to support a city.
The local government must also provide some authority, otherwise it will be difficult to get things done. At the same time, it is enough to have a third-party force that can restrain the local chief executive.
This system has been running in Haizhou for several months. So far, it is running well. Su Yonglin is very satisfied and plans to test more of his ideas in Haizhou.
For example, the reform of education and the reform of the imperial examination can be first tested in Haizhou. If the effect is good, there will be a precedent for promoting it to the whole country in the future.
Coincidentally, Xin Qiji also knew about Su Yonglin's reform pilot in Haizhou. He was also very concerned about this matter. Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to inspect Haizhou to see how the development of Haizhou was in line with Su Yonglin's expectations. .
Xin Qiji knew Zheng Chenghong.
When they were both in the army, he and Zheng Chenghong were students in the same instructor training class.
Later, Zheng Chenghong served as the instructor of the Red Ax Battalion led by Xin Qiji, and worked with Xin Qiji for a while.
During that time, the two formed a very friendly relationship. Xin Qiji did not look down on Zheng Chenghong's background as a poor peasant, and Zheng Chenghong did not regard Xin Qiji, who was born as the eldest son of an official family, as an enemy.
The two discussed some theoretical knowledge passionately, discussing what a world without the oppression of superior people should be like, and how to maintain the existence of such a world.
Later, Zheng Chenghong was transferred to a civilian position and began to serve as a local administrative official, starting from the village instructor.
Xin Qiji rose higher and higher, and was promoted by Su Yonglin to the current position of Chief of Staff of the General Staff Council of the Ming Dynasty. He has the actual command power of the army according to institutional regulations. He is the Chief of General Staff of the army in combat situations and can issue orders.
Therefore, Zheng Chenghong admired Xin Qiji quite a lot.
"We haven't seen each other for quite a while since we parted ways at Camp Red Ax. I never wanted to see you again. You are already the chief of staff of the imperial court, and the chairman still values you."
"I'm both a member of the Renaissance, so let's not talk about it. I still prefer the position of deputy director of the Military Affairs Department to the chief of staff."
Xin Qiji laughed and said: "You are not bad either. The first person among the Fuxing members to serve as the governor of the state was nominated by the chairman himself. At present, among the Fuxing members nationwide, you are the only one who can serve as the governor-level official. One person, so I don’t think your future will be worse than mine at all.”
Zheng Chenghong smiled bitterly.
"Do you think this is good? Because I am the only one, everyone is staring at me. They hope that I can make political achievements to prove the ability of Renaissance members, and they are worried that I will do something illegal and affect the Renaissance. reputation.
So not to mention Director Jiang from the State Justice Bureau, Director Wang from the Haizhou branch also came to my place every two days to hang out. He said he was just hanging out, but I didn’t know what he was actually doing?
It's a lot of pressure, and everyone is watching every word and action. I hope that a second and third revival member can serve as state governor as soon as possible, so that I don't have to be too stressed, and someone will help me share the burden. "
"That might be a little difficult."
Xin Qiji smiled and said: "The chairman's intention is to conduct enough experiments in Haizhou, accumulate enough experience, and figure out the cooperation and discord among the many departments that have not been promoted, so that you can try your best to work together and see what can be done. adjusted.
All the problems have been clarified, so that there will be no major chaos in large-scale promotion in the future, and any problems can be corrected in time, without affecting the stability of the world. Therefore, there will not be a second revival member to serve as the governor of the state in a short period of time. Yes, just bear with it. "
Zheng Chenghong rubbed his temples and let out a long sigh.
"I feel the chairman's high expectations, but it is really difficult. It is rare that I lose a lot of hair."
Xin Qiji became interested.
"What's so difficult? Logically speaking, you are the chief executive of Haizhou, and you also have the power to manage the inspection bureau. It is equivalent to an officer having military power. This is not an ordinary power. It can be said that the authority is very heavy. Is this difficult? Gu At that time, people called the county magistrate Bailihou, but aren't you, the governor of a state with real power, Qianlihou?"
"It's not what you think."
Zheng Chenghong smiled bitterly and said: "I hold the power to manage public security. I can only mobilize people from the inspection bureau because of some public security issues, and it must be on a certain scale. People can go directly to some minor troubles." When the inspection bureau reports a case, the state inspection chief and the county inspection officer can directly handle the case.
Only when major events occur, large-scale security incidents occur, or even groups of robbers and robbers appear, and the inspection bureau needs to dispatch more than a hundred people to solve the problem, then I need to give an order, and the inspection bureau will Manpower will be deployed on a large scale to handle these matters.
Then, in addition to public security issues, the Inspection Bureau itself also has to cooperate with the people of the Bureau of Justice. Some cases related to the law are handled directly by the Justice Bureau, which directly passes the information to the Inspection Bureau, and then the Inspection Bureau dispatches to arrest the prisoners and bring them to justice. This includes: I have nothing to do with it, I can't interfere at all. "
Zheng Chenghong spread his hands, looking helpless.
