Chapter 1184: Reform the County Government
Zhu Ping'an hurriedly went out to greet Zhang Tongsheng and the others, and when he saw Zhang Tongsheng, Wang Xiucai and others from a distance, he stepped forward, his face was full of smiles, and his enthusiasm seemed to be able to melt ice and snow.
It's nothing more than that.
Seeing that the county respected himself and others so much, Zhang Tongsheng and others were extremely moved, and felt extremely correct for their decision to go out of the county government.
Zhu Ping'an enthusiastically welcomed Zhang Tongsheng, Wang Xiucai and others into the county government, summoned Liu Dadao, Liu Mu and other county officials, and introduced them to each other, and everyone will be colleagues in the future.
At noon, Zhu Ping'an asked the county yazao room to make a few more dishes, and invited everyone in the yamen to set up tables and chairs in the county yamen courtyard for dinner, and by the way, Zhang Tongsheng, Wang Xiucai and others received the wind and enhanced mutual understanding at the banquet.
"In the afternoon, we don't drink because of official business. I would like to toast you with a glass of tea instead of wine, and I welcome you. You are all from your hometown, and you are more familiar with the customs and customs of Jingnan than me. At the banquet, Zhu Ping'an picked up the teacup and saluted Zhang Tongsheng and others.
"Thank you. The county is respectful, and we will do our best. Zhang Tongsheng and the others got up with teacups.
"The old concept is not friendly to the officials, and they are all based on the low quality of the officials, so they cannot be admitted to the Jinshi. In my opinion, this idea of the great Miao, the position of the Xu officials is low, the position is high, the Lu is thin and the big, the Xu officials are an indispensable part of my Ming Dynasty, and it is also the most basic cornerstone of my Ming administration. The officials bear the bond between the state officials and county orders and the local gentry and the old people. Without officials, how can the people's livelihood reach the people?! Officials play an indispensable role in consolidating the country's security. In addition, it is not that Xu officials cannot take the imperial examination, and my Ming Dynasty has special cases of being allowed to participate in the township examination and the meeting examination, and even won the top prize. For example, in the eighth year of Xuande, Lord Cao Naicao participated in the imperial examination as the history of Taihe County, Jiangxi, and won the first place in the palace examination. I also ask you to abandon your old knowledge, work hard, and make a difference. ”
Zhu Ping'an held the teacup and continued to say to Zhang Tongsheng and the others.
"Thank you for your encouragement." When Zhang Tongsheng and others heard this, they couldn't help but be excited. The county respected Xu officials so much, and they couldn't help but feel extremely correct for their decision to go out of the county government again.
"There were old officials in Jingnan, and I was dismissed at the same time. I've already told you the reasons for this, so I won't go into them here. I can trust your character, knowledge, and ability, otherwise I would not have asked you to help me govern Jingnan. However, as the saying goes, learn well for three years, and learn bad for three days. In the eyes of the people, you are the county officials, and your words and deeds are directly related to the well-being of the people in Jingnan. 'In the village of stone trenches at dusk, there are officials who catch people at night. The old man walked over the wall, and the old woman went out to see. What a rage! Why ...... the woman crying', I believe that no Jingnan people want to experience such a scene. I also ask you to keep your heart and act impartially, and I will not show mercy to anyone who misbehaves and harms the people. ”
After Zhu Ping'an encouraged everyone, he beat everyone in advance and said ugly things in front.
"The county respects rest assured, we will live up to the trust of the county and the people of Jingnan." Zhang Tongsheng and others said in unison.
"Yes, please." Zhu Ping'an raised the teacup and saluted everyone again.
"County honor, please."
Everyone saluted in return and drank it all together.
After lunch, while all the staff of the county government were there, Zhu Ping'an then arranged all the appointments.
The original system of the county government was six rooms, imitating the epitome of the six departments of the central court, and the county government of the Ming Dynasty was this kind of system. However, Zhu Ping'an is from modern times, and he knows that this kind of physique can be improved.
Therefore, this opportunity to dismiss all the officials was also improved.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an did not change the feudal bureaucratic form, but carried out reform and improvement within the framework of the feudal bureaucratic form.
If you want to say the pinnacle of the feudal bureaucracy, it is naturally the Qing Dynasty.
In modern times, a friend from the inner countryside of Henan got married, and Zhu Ping'an went to attend the wedding. After the wedding, my friend took Zhu Ping'an and other guests to the wedding to visit the AAAA-level scenic spot - Neixiang County. Zhu Ping'an is more interested in history and watches it more carefully, and he still remembers it vividly.
Neixiang County Ya was built in the Yuan Dynasty, after the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties repair, formed a huge and magnificent official building complex, so far well preserved, known as "the north has the Forbidden City, the south has the county Ya", "the dragon head in Beijing, the dragon tail in the inner township" reputation.
In Zhu Ping'an's view, the beauty of Neixiang County's internal system is not inferior to the beauty of its external architecture.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an took the Neixiang County government system as a blueprint and reformed the Jingnan County government system.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided to add four additional rooms, including a shopkeeper's room, a delivery room, a warehouse, and a warehouse, on the basis of the six rooms of the county office's officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers." Zhu Ping'an said to Zhang Tongsheng and others.
"Four rooms on top of six?"
"I am clear about the responsibilities of the six rooms, but what are the responsibilities of this shopkeeper's room, the delivery room, the warehouse, and the warehouse?"
"Didn't the county lord add it specially to accommodate us?! The county does not have to be like this, the county attaches great importance to it, and we have long felt the same way, and the county must not affect the operation of the county office for our sake. ”
"County respect, since ancient times, the county office has been six rooms. This shop long house, the development room, the warehouse, the four rooms of the warehouse are unheard of, I have never seen which prefecture or county has this setting, and please think twice about the county. ”
Zhang Tongsheng and others couldn't help but wonder when they heard that Zhu Ping'an was going to add four rooms, they were worried that Zhu Ping'an had specially added four rooms, including a long shop, a delivery room, a warehouse, and a warehouse, in order to accommodate them. Since ancient times, it has been six rooms in the county office, and if four rooms are added at will in order to accommodate them, isn't it because of a small loss?
"It's not." Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he heard this, "There are eleven of you, if it's to settle you, then shouldn't I add five rooms?!" How can you add four rooms?! You've been thinking too much. I am not a man who abolishes the public for personal gain. The reason why I have added four rooms, including a long shop, a contract room, a warehouse, and a storehouse, is the result of careful study and careful consideration since I took office, and it is not a hasty move. ”
yes.
If it is to accommodate us, add five rooms.
When Zhang Tongsheng and the others heard this, they couldn't help but nodded, but they were still puzzled by Zhu Ping'an's move to add four rooms.
