    ¡°Bang~bang~¡±

    With the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, the 21st year of Hongzhi has arrived.

    Liu Jin was sitting in his study, thinking quietly.

    With the arrival of the new year, many things have to be dealt with.

    One of the things that gives Liu Jin a headache now is the reform of the government.

    The content of traditional government work in the Ming Dynasty was very simple. It was nothing more than reviewing cases, maintaining local security, and providing relief and relief when there was a famine.

    In a traditional feudal society, there was naturally no problem.

    " Being an official and not causing trouble is already a high priority for the common people. Don't expect to be able to do much for the common people.

    However, with the rapid development of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty, the cities of the Ming Dynasty began to expand rapidly. Not only did the size of the cities become larger and larger, but the population of the cities also began to increase dramatically. A large number of people moved to the cities to work.  began to gather in the city.

    Take Beijing as an example.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Although it was very large, it was also one of the largest cities on the entire earth during this period, with a population of millions.

    But after just over a decade of rapid capitalist development, the capital¡¯s population now exceeds six million, which is six times the previous population.

    In the traditional sense, the walled capital simply cannot accommodate such a huge population. A large number of people are distributed in the new districts in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest of the capital.

    The influx of a large number of people and the high concentration of the population will naturally bring about many problems.

    ¡° Such as public livelihood, public order, transportation, medical care, housing, etc., this series of problems are all problems that the government has never encountered before.

    It is obviously not possible to continue to manage such a huge city in the same way as in the past.

    This time, Liu Jin also walked around the capital during the Chinese New Year and saw many urgent problems that needed to be solved.

    Although roads extending in all directions have been built, most people still have no awareness of traffic, so a lot of traffic problems have arisen. Traffic jams are still a minor matter. Traffic accidents often occur, and people are killed or hit by horse-drawn carriages.  hurt.

    Public health in the city is very poor. Open defecation and littering are very common. Garbage is not cleaned up in a timely manner and piles up like mountains. In some places, spectacular mountains of garbage are even formed, emitting a stench that makes people avoid it.

    In addition, a large concentration of the population will inevitably lead to security problems. There are many petty thefts, and they are even very rampant. Gangs are rampant, and robberies and fights occur one after another.

    These problems have become more and more serious and have begun to affect the operation and image of the entire capital. They are also problems that urgently need to be solved.

    However, the current government structure of the Ming Dynasty cannot effectively deal with these problems.

    Even the Shuntian Prefecture at the foot of the capital is higher than the average state capital, with more officials, more officials, government servants, and official servants.

    But after all, the number is limited, and they have been officials from the beginning. They have no intention of providing many services and conveniences to the people. Their main job is to hear cases and maintain law and order. As for other things, they really don¡¯t think about it.  Do it.

    Why do you ask the government to do sanitation?

    Doesn¡¯t this make people laugh to death?

    How could someone who had worked so hard to become an official come and take care of such things as hygiene?

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of traffic congestion?

    Anyway, in one sentence, they are high-ranking officials who have no awareness of providing services to the people, and there is no such content in the traditional government responsibilities.

    But even so.

    With the expansion of the capital's population, Shuntian Mansion is already extremely busy just trying cases. ãá reduce &#555zw*.c*o*m ãá

    The population is six times that of before, and there is a large number of immigrants. There are countless various matters. There are endless cases and endless matters every day.

    In the past, there might only be a few murder cases in a year, but now, murder cases may occur every three to five. The workload at Shuntian Mansion suddenly increases. How can we not be busy?

    This is also the reason why Shuntian Mansion Yamen has no time to worry about other things, because they are indeed too busy.

    &nAll kinds of things are happening.  "

    "Fortunately, the country is now peaceful and the people are safe, the country is prosperous and the people are strong, there are few things to worry about, and there are not many headaches."

    "Sometimes I really admire people like Zhang Juzheng and Li Hongzhang. It is really too difficult to do something under complicated circumstances."

    After writing the memorial, Liu Jin looked at the huge world map. Most of the areas were already the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Pacific Ocean had now become the inland sea of ??the Ming Dynasty.

    With such a vast territory and huge population, the Ming Dynasty can still prosper and become more and more prosperous and powerful, and it is not in vain to travel across the country and work hard.

    Think about some of the famous figures in the history textbooks that later generations have studied, and then think about the position you are in now, which is also high and powerful. If you were in the position of the other party, I am afraid that there is really no way for you to be like these.  Great people usually make some achievements.

    Mi He Mi.  The higher you are in a high position, the more great wisdom you need, especially when facing various difficult situations, in order to truly reflect a person's wisdom and talents. In comparison, life now is simply too comfortable
