Chapter 800: Local Reforms

"Little brother-in-law, you see that the little nephew still has the title of Caojiang Admiral, there is something in the military camp, am I ......" Li Xian wanted to run, but how could Liu Chun let him go, "You don't have to care about this, I have asked Ping An to take over as the Governor of Caojiang, and the entire Yangtze River Naval Division is responsible for him, as for you, you are mainly responsible for Yingtian's safety, and I will go back and ask you for a general rank." ”

O Commander! This is an out-and-out high-level general, under normal circumstances, it is a prince who can be a general, Li Xian was a general soldier of Yingtian at a young age, and he definitely took a big luck...... However, he couldn't be happy at all, and the sister-in-law said that he could spend more money than King Zhao...... It's going to die.

Li Xian pondered that he should make arrangements, his family property could not be saved, and he had to divide his daughter-in-law's dowry, which was really not good, and he could still eat soft rice to live......

"Master, why did you come here all of a sudden?" Zhu Gaosui was a little surprised, he felt that Liu Chun might have come late, or he might have come early.

It's late because things have already started up, and as for early, it's because it's not big enough for Master to make a move.

"I can't help it, didn't it take a lot of effort to persuade His Majesty to agree to my reform plan!"

"Father, what does the emperor agree to?"

"Of course I agreed to spend money!" Liu Chun said with a smile.

Zhu Gaosui's eyes widened excitedly, "Master, what are you going to do?" ”

"If you don't do anything, you just add a little bit of officials to Nanzhili!"

After Liu Chun finished speaking, he stretched his waist, "Okay, I'll take a rest, I'm too tired on the road, go back and tell the Ying Tianzhi Mansion, as well as the two county orders of Shangyuan and Jiangning, let them prepare and come to see me." ”

Liu Chun said lightly, but Zhu Gaosui's heart was pounding, and he couldn't help but grow his mouth, in the end, he had come to this point! It's great that Master has finally convinced my father!

Liu Chun rushed to Yingtian, it is not particularly secret, some well-informed people have already gotten the news, especially those wealthy businessmen, Liu Chun walked on the canal line, and also met with Jin Youzi and talked for a night.

These news came one after another, and everyone had a bad premonition, could it be that there was a killing, just around the corner?

Or will there be a lot of people who will be sent to Dongfan Island to grow sugar cane?

Some are fearful, others are indignant.

Even if you Liu Chun has great ability, we have to touch you, it's a big deal to burn all the jade and make the southeast a mess...... Look at how the Ming Dynasty can still play without this wealth!

For many businessmen, they already have a lot of chips in their hands...... Newspapers are one, stock markets are one, bonds are one, foreign trade is one, factories and workshops in cities, huge merchant guilds...... Any mess will bring chaos to the southeast.

They are hidden behind these industries, even if Emperor Hongwu is resurrected, they can't do anything to them!

This is the courage, and this is the root of the businessman's call for the imperial court.

And the merchants have another judgment...... Liu Chun's changes are actually inclined to businessmen, which can be seen from his actions and the books he writes.

Once Shang Jia and Liu Chun stood together to deal with the gentry group, then again, the big guys are all on the same front, even if they fall out, what can you Liu Chun do to us?

Nothing else, we're just so confident!

Even Yoo Chun can't betray his own interest groups, that's what your Wealth of Nations tells us.

Liu Chun ignored the disturbances outside, he slept beautifully, then washed, ate porridge, a few side dishes, and an omelette...... Eat only seven minutes full, then drink a glass of goji berry honey water.

When people live in middle age, they should pay attention to health preservation. Like Zhang Dingbian, he eats seastuffs and nibbles dog meat every day, and he can live so much after all, after all, there are too few.

That's not a person, a complete old monster.

As an ordinary man, you still have to pay attention to scientific health preservation.

"At noon, prepare some yams, hardcore yams, roast and eat."

After instructing the kitchen, Liu Chun walked to the lobby with a smile, when he arrived, the prefect of Yingtian, and two county orders had already come.

They stood in the middle with a chair, but they did not dare to sit at all.

trembling, waiting for Lord Taifu to reprimand.

"Don't be so inhibited, sit down, sit down!"

Liu Chun greeted warmly and said with a smile: "I invited you to come over just to talk about some daily government affairs, nothing too big...... Like how many accounts Ying Tian has at the moment, can you figure it out? ”

"Hui Taifu, according to the statistics of Yongle for three years, Yingtian's household is more than 168,000, and the number of people is more than 1.23 million."

Liu Chun nodded, "You're talking about making up households, that is to say, the population from other places, who live in Yingtian, hasn't been counted yet, right?" ”

"That's right! This part of the people, conservatively estimated, is also more than 200,000, of which there are more than 50,000 overseas businessmen alone! ”

Liu Chun smiled again: "It's almost 1.5 million people, so how many available officials do you have?" ”

Ying Tian's prefect and the two prefects looked at each other, and the prefect said first.

Below the prefect, there is a fellow governor, who is the prefect's deputy.

In addition, there are a number of general judges, a magistrate, a director of experience, a governor, a director of the prison, and a prison director.

In other words, the official establishment of a government is less than ten people, so what are the government affairs to be responsible for?

In general, there are three things: propaganda and morality, peace of imprisonment and litigation, and all of them are enslaved.

The specific division is as many as dozens of things, including Xingkegong, the promotion of schools, and the cultivation of ceremonies. Accounts, artisans, posters, horses, thieves, storehouses, canals, ditches, roads. There are also things such as the Qing army, patrolling, grain management, agricultural management, water conservancy, tuntian, horse herding, and so on.

Ying Tian's prefect was full of shame, "Back to Taifu, the situation of the prefect's yamen is even better, after all, there is no fixed number of people in the general judgment, and it can be increased as appropriate...... Ying Tian has increased to as many as seven, but he still can't catch it.

This is the case with the prefect's yamen, not to mention the county yamen below.

There is only one county clerk, one chief bookkeeper, and one warden.

In a place like Yingtian, there are immortals above, they are ants, and they are a little bigger than ordinary people.

After so many years, it is the first time that a high-ranking official has asked, in the past, they were all called around, when did anyone care about their situation?

"Are you afraid of the newspaper?"

Liu Chun asked, "To be honest, I came here this time and just wanted to hear the truth." ”

The prefect pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "The Taifu is above, and the lower officials dare not lie, nor can they say that they are afraid, but there are so many things, we will inevitably make mistakes, and those reporters and newspapers are like flies, and it will be difficult to have a good end if they are targeted...... To tell the truth, in the past two years, there have been countless magistrates in various places who have been brought down by newspapers! ”

Liu Chun nodded, after all, he was still scared!

He got up slowly and paced on the ground, at this time Zhu Gaosui and Xia Yuanji also came to ask to see him, Liu Chun said to Xia Yuanji: "Mr. Xia, your performance hit the nail on the head, I can finally convince Your Majesty that from today onwards, starting from Yingtian, you must thoroughly reform the local yamen!" First of all, the first rule is to increase the number of officials and divide government affairs in detail. ”

Hearing the rectification of the yamen, the three officials almost fell down in fright, could it be that they were going to be knifed again?

But after listening to Liu Chun's lecture on the content of the reform, the three were overjoyed, and they almost wanted to kneel down and kowtow.

Master Taifu is simply timely rain!

The prefect is still one, and the number of confections has increased to three, and they are in charge of government affairs together with the prefect, and the following general sentences continue to increase...... Finance, taxation, education, criminal name, publicity, public security, agriculture, water affairs, and land are all arranged to be in charge! The same is true of the county yamen, one person in the county, two or three people in the county, the following main book is increased, and the specific matters are shared by the main book, and the county order and the county are in charge of the overall situation! ”

Liu Chun said loudly: "There are a few things at the moment that must be done well!" The first is the revitalization of the school that His Majesty has arranged a long time ago, and the second is the propaganda that has leaked out this time and has the most serious problems! When the court does things, it must be made clear to the people, otherwise it will be a black pot, which will mess up the overall situation. For newspapers in various places, it is necessary to strictly manage them, and at the same time, the government affairs of the imperial court must be specially arranged to convey them downward! ”

"All important government affairs must be publicized in newspapers, and at the same time, they must go to every village and town to explain to the people...... Strict rumor-mongering, rigorous fabrication, in short, in the final analysis, it is the court that needs you to take the responsibility that should be borne by you. ”

Liu Chun said decisively: "You immediately hand in the plan for the expansion of the yamen, as well as the future budget, I want to see the effect immediately!" ”

The three magistrates had already listened stupidly.

What did Taifu say?

Let them hand in the expansion plan, as well as the budget!

To put it bluntly, don't you just want people to give people, ask for money to give money!

Oh my God!

These magistrates have also turned over one day, they are so moved, why are their eyes so wet!

"Taifu, the lower official will go and prepare, even if you don't eat or drink, you have to make it for Taifu!"

Liu Chun nodded with a smile, "Listen, the core of this change is to enhance the management ability of the imperial court and increase the efficiency of administration...... It's not about you wantonly bullying the people, but so that you can do things fairly and justly, so that you won't be easily manipulated by some people, you know? ”

"Understood! We get it! Taifu rest assured. ”

The three of them were in an uproar excitedly, and hurried down to make arrangements. As for Xia Yuanji, he was deeply pleased, "Okay, that's great!" Taifu This is-for-tat, from now on, the local yamen will inevitably take on a new look! ”

Liu Chun chuckled, "I'm afraid it's not so easy, there are more officials, more power, and there may be more acts of greed and harm to the people, and the superintendent must keep up." ”

Liu Chun and Xia Yuanji talked and laughed, but Zhu Gaosui was silently calculating, and after the master's words, more than a dozen officials were added under the government and county offices, and the additional officials had special office space, and there were also subordinate officials below...... How many more officials is that?

How much more does it cost to pay for it?

Compared with Master, his money-burning behavior is simply pediatric!
