Xiong Xiasheng is very good at handling emergencies. He told the people gathered outside the Yamen that they had not yet received any official document regarding the whereabouts of the great master. The eldest master is not in the Yamen now. He went to Suzhou to see the prefect. There should be news when I get back in a few days, and I will notify everyone as soon as possible.
Then Xiong Dianshi changed the topic and reprimanded the citizens for being too impulsive with a dark face. Such a blind gathering may cause trouble if the bad guys incite them. When the time comes to inspect the censor's book, the eldest master will inevitably be dismissed from his post and investigated, and everyone will have no place to cry.
He Wenwei also patted his chest and assured that the good situation in Kunshan will never be affected. If a dog official comes, he will lead everyone to drive him away!
These words played a decisive role, and the people cheered loudly, saying that because of the second master's responsibility, they could not cause trouble to the county, and they should go back and wait for the letter, and then they dispersed one after another.
Behind the screen wall, seeing that the storm had finally calmed down, Bai Shouli wiped his sweat and couldn't help but admired: "Master He is so ruthless. If you say these words, you will be a bitch in the futureI will no longer be an official."
"What's the benefit of being a dog official?" Mr. Zhao glanced at him and said, "Is it because I didn't give you enough?"
"That's what the elder said." Bai Shouli said sarcastically: "In our Kunshan County, being a good official earns more than a corrupt official. Who wants to be a bad official?"
"If you think so, I'll be relieved." Mr. Zhao smiled happily.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir" Bai Shouli almost choked to death, wondering in Master Zhao's mind, was he that unbearable?
??~~
That night, He Wenwei and the other three actively convened an overnight meeting with the Lijia elders in the county and told them the truth.
Mr. Zhaooh no, Mr. Zhao has been in charge of Kunming for three years. The most critical move is to use embankment construction to control insects, so that the Lijia old man system, which existed in name only, has regained its vitality.
The so-called Lijia Elderly System is a grassroots organizational system established by Emperor Taizu on the basis of the previous dynasty. To put it simply, every 110 households are classified into one li, and the 10 households with the most Dingliang serve as li chiefs, with ten years as a unit. Cycle, take turns serving. The remaining 100 households are called Jia Shou, that is, Jia Chang.
Every year, a li chief leads 10 chiefs who are sent by the government and are responsible for managing the affairs of the li.
In addition, each village also has the post of an elder. Each district recommends one to ten highly respected elderly people over fifty who are responsible for educating, persuading farmers, supervising, and hearing minor cases among the people.
The head of the village, the head of the Jia, and the elderly are the starting points for grassroots governance in the Ming Dynasty.
However, over the past two hundred years, as land has been annexed and farmers have been reduced to tenants, and even completely separated from the land to make a living, this system has long been in vain The village chief has long been unable to find the chief, and the chief A cannot find the villagers, and the old man in the village has become even more difficult to find. No longer exists.
Zhao Hao took advantage of the great opportunity of distributing disaster relief materials and organizing embankment repair work to rebuild this grassroots organizational system. And improved it into one armor for every ten households, one li for every ten jias, and one guarantee for every ten li. Moreover, it is no longer compulsory to appoint the village chief and the armor chief. Instead, those who are willing to serve will no longer recommend themselves, and the villagers will vote to make the choice. The selected candidates will be elected once every three years and will be re-elected after three years.
Because at that time, the commanders and chiefs in these areas were in control of the distribution of disaster relief materials and the allocation of embankment repair tasks. They had great power, so some good people enthusiastically signed up to run for office.
??And starting from the year before last, the county began to pay one, two, and one month's salary to the district chiefs, and there will be bonuses at the end of the year based on the evaluation results. It is said that at the end of last year, the top few village commanders and armor commanders received a reward of hundreds of taels of silver. There is no way, who makes the county really rich? What should I do if Mr. Zhao can¡¯t spend all the money in every possible way?
There must be brave men under heavy rewards. The lijia chiefs are naturally very motivated and do not want the lijia leaders they are responsible for to fall behind in the rankings.
As for the chief security officer, the county government directly appoints officials to serve concurrently. In accordance with the unified deployment of the county, the security chiefs led and coordinated the work of each Lijia to prevent the power of the gentry from overexpansion.
In addition, he also ordered each group to elect a respected old man, and each group formed a hundred-member group, responsible for supervising the chief of the group, the chief of the group, and the chief of the group, and adjudicating the daily civil litigation in the group.
This is not an innovation, but an ancestral system established by Emperor Taizu. "Every small matter, such as a fight or a fight in a household, marriage or farmland, is not allowed to be reported to the official. It must be settled by the elder Jia in charge." If it doesn't pass, first cut off the complainant's staff by sixty points, and then send it back to the old man Lijia to sort it out.'
Mr. Zhao only expanded and detailed this article. He stipulated that Lijia litigation should be presided over by the Bao Zhang, and more than 20 disinterested Lijia elders should be selected from a group of 100 people. After hearing the prosecution and defense of both parties, the minority should obey the majority. method of collegial refereeing. However, both parties to the lawsuit can raise objections to the county government's prosecution and defense results against the Hundreds.
Although old man Lijia has no solidThere is a fixed salary, but the county provides generous gifts for three festivals and two birthdays. They also wear special badges and are respected wherever they go, which greatly satisfies the vanity of the elderly, so they are extremely serious and responsible.
With the help of Xu Wei and Wu Chengen, Mr. Zhao established a set of dynamic grassroots political power through the transformation of the old "Lijia old man system", which perfectly filled the gap of "imperial power not extending to counties". Only then could all the government orders issued in the name of Mr. Zhao be implemented to every household in every village without turning into a piece of paper.
Kunshan County¡¯s ability to ¡°make a small change in half a year and make a big change in three years¡± is absolutely inseparable from the strong grassroots control of this scorpion.
But this cannot be said to have solved the eternal problem of "imperial power not extending to counties". Because Kunshan County¡¯s grassroots reforms are difficult to replicate.
First of all, the clan power in the Susong area is relatively weak and not as stubborn as in Huizhou in Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang and southern Zhejiang. The relationship between the gentry and peasants in Jiangnan was mainly that of landlords and tenants, which did not have as strong a cohesive force as clan relations, so it was easier to break up and reorganize.
Secondly, it takes a county magistrate like Mr. Zhao who is kind to Kunshan County to promote this matter, so that those "unruly people" in Wuzhong will obey the orders. In fact, Mr. Zhao was able to complete the arduous task of restructuring the Lijia organization through the objective needs of flood fighting and embankment construction.
¡°Furthermore, the county must be super rich. In this world, you can only set up a pot to cook white rice, but there is no reason to set up a pot to cook rice. Perhaps when fighting floods and fighting schistosomiasis, those villagers can still work voluntarily with enthusiasm to benefit their hometown. But as time goes by, how can there be so many matters of life and death? If you keep having sex for nothing, no one will be able to persist.
However, following the example of Kunshan County, this year Taicang Prefecture, Changshu County, Shanghai County, and Huating County, several neighboring counties, will also follow the prescription and restructure the Lijia elderly system. Mr. Zhao is cautiously optimistic about this and will never interfere. He is only the son of the magistrate of Kunshan, not the son of the magistrates of neighboring counties. How can he dictate the power structure of other counties?
It¡¯s disgusting to cross the line
??~~
The words are returned to the home, those who are long and long, and the old people of the Lijia. I heard that the rumors are true. The old parents have determined to be transferred, and they also fry the pot.
They are the group of people who have a direct interest in Mr. Zhao! I have just started to get a taste of it, and I am thinking about how to be re-elected for another term. Why is Mr. Zhao leaving now?
"Does the group of 100 people still count?"
"Will the security chief and chief armor still pay wages?"
"The bonus at the end of the year will be lost, right?!"
The auditorium was filled with panic, and questions arose everywhere.
Until Bai Shouli announced that He County Cheng would take over as the county magistrate; He Wenwei swore to the sky that he would never change the late emperor Oh no, he would not change the way that Second Master Zhao was established. Whether it is the election and treatment of the Hundreds or the old people in Lijia, nothing will change. Even if it changes, it will only get better! Only then did everyone gradually calm down.
"Sure enough, all loyalty in this world comes from self-interest" Mr. Zhao, who was hiding behind the scenes, couldn't help but think of what his son had said. It was really to the point. Thorough and excellent!
Then, He Wenwei and the other three persuaded everyone with earnest words, so that the village chiefs and armor chiefs reluctantly accepted the dismal fact that "the He family replaced Zhao". After ordering them to go back, they divided up to appease the people in their ranks and told the people not to act excessively.
" In short, there must be no chaos. Whoever's inner armor is in trouble will be removed without mercy!
After the slap, He Wenwei said to Tianzao that maintaining the stability of the team during the handover is the most important thing. As long as it goes through smoothly, this year's year-end bonus will be doubled!
¡®This old man is inexperienced at first glance¡¡¯ The second master curled his lips in disapproval. One code must be the same, special things must be handled specially, money must be sent in a timely manner, and money must be generous in order to achieve the best results!
If it were him, he would never let these people go back empty-handed
??~~
However, Kunshan County's strong grassroots control still worked this time. With the help of the village chief and the elderly, the people in the county finally stabilized their emotions and reluctantly accepted that their old parents were about to leave. Go to the fact.
So gloom and gloom are inevitable. A strong sense of separation and farewell lingers in the county town. Citizens can't help bursting into tears whenever they mention their old parents. There are even those who are sentimental and can't even read the word "go". They miss each other when they see the word!
¡°In a blink of an eye, it¡¯s the first day of April, the day when the Yamen announces the announcement, and it¡¯s also the last time Mr. Zhao will sit in court in Kunshan County Oh no, he¡¯s sitting in court.
On this day, he was dressed neatly and came to the lobby early to sit down. Looking at the familiar bricks and tiles in front of him, he felt filled with emotion.
Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. I have gone from a nerd who knew nothing and was treated like a monkey by the pawnshop owner to a fair and impartial person in the county who is respected by all people. This life experience is really amazing. It's hard to predict.
He sighed as he glanced over, not even knowing when the first pair of plaintiffs and defendants were brought to court.
"Ahem." Mr. Wu, who was standing behind him, had no choice but to remind him.
"Oh, let's ask questions." Only then did Mr. Zhao come back to his senses and said skillfully to the plaintiff kneeling in the hall: "Who is kneeling in the hall, and what grievances do you want to complain about?" (Remember the website address of this website: www .hlnovel.com)??Full of emotions.
