There are no impermeable walls.

Zhu Ping'an, the magistrate of Jingnan County, fought against more than 3,000 Japanese pirates with less than 100 servants and soldiers, and not only defended the county seat of Jingnan, but also beheaded 824 Japanese pirates, and also recovered Taiping County, a neighboring county that had been invaded by Japanese pirates.

This news spread in the Wuyi Palace, first in the officialdom circle, and then to the people.

A civil official who is not yet in the age of the weak crown has been demoted out of Beijing on the front foot, and he has made outstanding military exploits that are difficult for many generals to make on the back foot......

This news was very topical, and for a while, people could be heard talking about it in the streets and alleys of the capital from time to time. Of course, although it is not as popular as the concubine of a certain high-ranking official who has an affair with a housekeeper, the cow of a certain family gives birth to a calf with two heads, and the selection of the top ten oiran in the capital is hot, it is also one of the more hot topics.

Although Zhu Ping'an is not a man of the year in the capital, he is not an unknown person.

Of course, in Jingnan and even in Taiping, Zhu Ping'an is a full man of the hour, and there is no one.

This was the third day that the plague had completely subsided, and on this day, Zhu Ping'an did another thing that shook the entire Jingnan.

Zhu Ping'an dismissed all the officials of the six rooms of the county government, leaving only the officials who guarded the city together and recorded them during the period of the Japanese disaster.

After the post-disaster reconstruction was on the right track, Zhu Ping'an finally freed his hands and took the power of peacekeeping to reorganize the county government in a drastic way.

"My lord, why did you dismiss all of us?! You're kidding, right?! ”

"That's right, all the officials of the six rooms have been dismissed, and there has never been such a ridiculous thing since ancient times."

"Think twice, think twice. Even if the adult is wise and powerful, without our assistance, how can the adult manage the huge Jingnan County alone, the adult is three heads and six arms, and he can't do it. ”

"My grandfather was a tax scrivener, my father was a tax scrivener, and in my generation, he is already the third generation of tax scriveners. Three generations of my family have contributed to the county government, conscientious and conscientious, decades are like a day, my lord, you have only been in Jingnan for a month, how can you say that you will be dismissed from your post, and I will wait. ”

"A good man, three gangs, a fence, three piles. Without me waiting, how will the county government function?! Your Excellency, you can't just go your own way......"

After receiving Zhu Ping'an's dismissal order, the officials in the county government couldn't help but be angry, boiling and rebellious, and surrounded Zhu Ping'an to ask for an explanation, both soft and hard, and asked Zhu Ping'an to take back his dismissal.

"Why should you be dismissed?"

In the center, Zhu Ping'an glanced at the six room officials calmly, pulled the corners of his mouth, and pulled out a trace of arc.

"That's it, why should I be dismissed! Zhang Xiancheng, Yao Zhubo, and Li Dianshi have not yet arrived in the Yaya, you just want to dismiss us and wait, at least ask their opinions, right?! The officials of the six rooms were furious.

"Just because I'm the magistrate of Jingnan." Zhu Ping'an slowly glanced at everyone and said lightly.

In ancient times, only the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the lord and the history belonged to the imperial court officials, who were selected by the officials and appointed and dismissed by the central government. The remaining six officials are not officials of the imperial court, and they are all appointed and dismissed by the magistrate. In ancient times, the county government implemented the county responsibility system, and the county magistrate had great power, and he could directly decide on the appointment of the six chambers.

To clean up Zhang Xiancheng, Yao Zhubo, and Li Dianshi, Zhu Ping'an still has to work hard, and he needs to be impeached upwards and appointed and dismissed by the officials. But to clean up the six rooms, Zhu Ping'an can say a word. Time is precious, and Zhu Ping'an is too lazy to work hard.

"Yes, you are the magistrate, it is true that you have this power, but you can't abuse your power like this!"

"My lord, we are not convinced! What is the reason why you dismissed all the officials of the six rooms including us for no reason?! ”

"We're going to Fucheng to reason ......"

It was about their vital interests, and the officials were shouting endlessly. Although they have no rank, are not officials, and have no salary, they can only receive meager subsidies for paper and pencils, copying fees, food expenses, and other expenses from the county government, but they hold real power, and use the power in their hands to eat, drink, and take bribes...... They have a hundred and a thousand ways to fill their pockets.

"For no reason?!" When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he lowered his face, "You can also say this word." ”

The face of the Liufang Xu official was slightly unnatural, but soon he raised his neck one by one.

"Thou shalt be absent from work for thirty-eight consecutive days without any reason. The "Da Ming Law" stipulates that officials who are absent from work for 1 day will be punished with 20 small boards, and every 3 days will be added to the first class, and 100 large boards will be beaten with a cane for 20 days. During the Hongwu period, an official of the household department was dismissed after being absent from work for 30 days. Officials who are absent from work are still punished, not to mention you and other petty officials?! And if you are absent from work for thirty-eight days without any reason, your sin is even greater! What is wrong with the dismissal of this official and your position? Zhu Ping'an glanced at everyone expressionlessly, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said coldly.

Belch!

Yes!

A group of Liufang officials looked at each other, at that time, in order to hug Zhang County's thighs, they joined forces behind their backs to block Zhu Ping'an, wanting to drive Zhu Ping'an out of Jingnan County, and deliberately being late. Thinking about it, how stupid the action was at that time, it was equivalent to taking the initiative to send the handle to Zhu Ping'an.

However, even so, they did not admit it.

"Absenteeism? No, my lord, I am not absent from work, and I am always on time every day. ”

"No, it won't."

"Nonsense......"

The officials shook their heads again and again to deny the three times and did not admit it.

Expecting this, Zhu Ping'an pulled the corners of his mouth disdainfully, took out the signature book from his arms, and threw it on the table, "You and others are recorded in the book every day, and they are signed by you and others every day." ”

"Liu Mu, Dadao, you are optimistic about the sign-in book. If you are not satisfied, you can come forward and check with Liu Mu. ”

Zhu Ping'an glanced at the officials.

All the officials lowered their heads, not daring to look at Zhu Ping'an. Now I understand why Zhu Ping'an is staring at them at the door every day...... It turned out that they were waiting for them here, this little thief, it turned out that he had harbored evil intentions since then, hateful, I thought I had embarrassed this little thief at the time, but now that I think about it, the little thief didn't know how to laugh secretly in his heart at that time.

"My lord, we were just late, and we didn't miss work."

"yes, that's it, we're not absent from work, we're just late."

A few officials chewed on the words, stalked their necks, and said that they were just late, not absent.

"Now it seems that you are not only 'lazy', but also 'mediocre'. What is 'diligence', responding on time and letting go of the government is the minimum requirement of 'diligence', and you are not divided between 'diligence' and 'absenteeism'! is not only a lazy official, but also a mediocre official, and the official should be dismissed from his post and so on. ”

Zhu Ping'an glanced at them and pulled the corners of his mouth disdainfully, you bite and chew words with me, aren't you dead!

The men were immediately red-faced, and their heads were almost lowered into the crotch of their pants.
