Qi Yu shook his clothes and walked out with a high-spirited look, while Tan Junyan and Huang Fei followed behind him, one on the left and the other on the right.
I am about to meet a group of my subordinates, and I am a little excited. I hope that they are all talented people who can solve my problems.
As a prefect, the pressure on responsibilities is quite high.
Someone may have asked, isn’t being an official just about being greedy? How stressful can this be? Could it be because of money?
Ahem!
Corruption is only for most officials, but Qi Dalang, who has political ideals, is not among them.
Let’s talk about specific pressure first.
The magistrate is in charge of the government orders of a government and the commander-in-chief of all counties. Promulgating court decrees, governing the people, hearing and deciding lawsuits, inspecting traitors, assessing subordinate officials, collecting taxes, etc., all these government affairs are their responsibilities.
There are so many things that one prefect alone cannot handle. If you want to achieve political achievements, you must have a capable team to assist you.
Therefore, Qi Yu wanted to know how capable his subordinates were?
If that doesn't work, I'll have to find another talent.
He paused at the door and glanced quietly, only to see that all three classes and six rooms, as well as all the major scriptures, were already in place.
If you look closely, you will see that they are all neatly dressed and full of energy, and none of them is a fool.
Well, judging from the appearance alone, it feels okay.
Then go in!
"cough!"
"I've met Mr. Qi!"
Um? He can actually speak Chinese with curled lips, which is great!
Come to think of it, they come from scholarly backgrounds, how could they not understand Chinese?
"No gift!"
Under the respectful greetings of all the officials, Qi Yu walked up to the main case solemnly, and then sat there upright with a very solemn expression on his face.
Of course, this was intentional on his part.
What?
When a new official takes office, he shows his coercion first!
Before each introduced themselves, Qi Yu made a meaningful opening statement.
"I was appointed by the imperial court to come to Qiongzhou and serve as the prefect here. Haha, I'm new here and I'm not familiar with many things. I hope all my colleagues can give me some advice."
Then, his tone suddenly changed, and he said with some sternness: "Before I left the capital, the Holy Emperor repeatedly told me that we must appease the people of Qiongzhou and calm down the civil strife here as soon as possible. To this end, Your Majesty also I have been given the special right to act expediently. If I encounter someone who obstructs governance or does nothing, haha..."
This shout of "haha" only made all the officials' scalps feel numb. As for what it means, it is self-evident.
This is the art of speaking, and it is also Qi Dalang’s greatest experience after serving as an official for many years.
These two sentences one after another, one loose and one tight, one gracious and one powerful, soft yet hard, clearly expressed his official stance.
Moving the emperor, the giant Buddha, directly out would not only act as a deterrent, but also hint at Qi Yu's political stance.
Is this necessary?
Is necessary!
If these new subordinates cannot be subdued, it will be difficult to carry out future governance. The simplest and most effective way is to expose one's domineering power.
Sure enough, after all the officials looked at each other, they responded in unison: "We are willing to do our best for Lord Qi."
"Yes!" Qi Yu nodded with satisfaction and said with dignity as before: "Let me tell you something first! Just yesterday, Xiao Yunyan, the manager of the household, knew and broke the law, plundered people's food and injured people. It was simply lawless! What a coincidence! Yes, when this evil official was doing bad things, he was caught by the government. So, I executed him on the spot."
Show off your power!
Learn from the facts!
According to Qi Yu's idea, if the former prefect had not died in the line of duty, even he would have wanted to do it together. If you don't kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, how can it have the effect of setting an example to others?
Qi Yu believes that under the current situation, it is equally important to rectify official governance and provide disaster relief to the people, and we must try our best to regain the lost public support.
Originally, all the officials wanted to intercede and speak for Xiao Yunyan, to show their friendship as colleagues in the past, but unexpectedly, Mr. Qi was still stern and had no intention of forgiveness. How could he go against the trend?
In silence, all the officials exchanged their views with each other with their eyes, and soon formed a unity of political opinions.
Forget it, Mr. Xiao should just ask for his own blessings. Although we have intentions, we are powerless and cannot help him.
Qi Yu looked around and was secretly happy: It looks okay like this, they are all a group of smart people, and they can tell the truth at a glance.
So, he put away his deliberate majesty and said to the officials in a warm voice: "Next, let's introduce ourselves so that we can get to know each other. Let's start with myself..."
Under the leadership of Qi Yu, everyone introduced themselves in order of weight:
The Jingcheng of the Lifang was called Wei Qingyang, the Jingcheng of the Gongfang was called Ren Yu, the Jingcheng of the Xingfang was called Zhang Li, and so on.
In terms of fame, except for Wei Qingyang, who was the deputy candidate, the others were all scholars.
This level of education is not as good as a small town in Jiangnan.
Then there is the issue of position.
Currently, there are still vacancies: the general manager of the experience department, the manager of household housing, and the two masters of Qian Liang and Xing Ming.
"quiet!"
"yes!"
Qi Yu stood up slowly and solemnly announced his first two decrees after taking office.
The first one was about the appointment of personnel. He appointed Peng Wenchang as the double master of money, food, and punishment, and then appointed Tan Junyan as the general manager of the experience department and the manager of the household.
Both of them have two temporary positions, and they are special appointments that are expedient.
The second article is about the decree on disaster relief. He ordered that all officials should go deep into the front line and take the lead in post-disaster relief and reconstruction work, and they were not allowed to just deal with it. If there is anyone who excuses himself and asks for leave, he will come to see him wearing his hat.
To put it simply, no one is allowed to be lazy. Even if you show off, you have to keep an eye on me. Otherwise, be dismissed!
After hearing this, all the officials felt their hearts tremble. As soon as he came up, he had a businesslike attitude. Could it be that this Lord Qi is an aspiring and upright official?
If that's the case, wouldn't there be no money to be made?
In addition, Peng Wenchang and Tan Junyan had just entered the official position and had already taken up the role of double challenge. It is obvious that this is a sign that they are highly valued.
Well, in the future, you must have a good relationship with these two people, otherwise you will get into trouble.
After announcing the decree, Qi Yu asked about the progress of disaster relief. As a result, all the officials were hesitant and unable to tell the real reason. Even if there is an answer, it is vague and misses the point.
Alas, these officials who are so proud of themselves are completely ignorant of the sufferings of the people, which is a serious omission.
Fortunately, I didn't have too high expectations for them, otherwise I would have been troubled and sad again.
Rectifying officialdom starts now!
Thinking of this, Qi Yu touched the gavel on the case, slapped it suddenly, and shouted: "You all set off immediately, and all of you go to the front line to find out the actual situation. In the evening, come back to the lobby for a meeting. If you can't come up with something, As for the specific situation, please get out of here and farm!"
"yes!"
This move is cruel enough!
It’s impossible to be ruthless. If we don’t improve the administration of officials, Qiongzhou will really be hopeless.
All the officials were frightened and dispersed without saying a word, rushing to the front line to conduct a thorough investigation.
At that speed, he was running like crazy.
They originally thought that the magistrate would throw a grand banquet today, but unexpectedly, they were scolded.
Tan Junyan was about to leave, but Qi Yu stopped him and said, "Brother Guangling, you don't have to go."
"Uh... why?"
Qi Yu chuckled, walked slowly down the hall, patted Tan Junyan on the shoulder and said: "Today, I want to take Mrs. Peng to your house for a drink, which can also be regarded as a wedding banquet for me. Do you like it?" "
Look at this question.
Who dares to say that they are not welcome?
Although Tan Junyan was a little puzzled, he still said sincerely: "It's an honor for you to be honored. How can Junyan not welcome it?"
Qi Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Without further delay, let's go."
