"A place like the Senate?" Xiang An frowned, "Who will control it?" ”

"Of course, it's the head of the line." Ji Sheng snapped his fingers and said, "At present, there are sixteen big guilds in Jiehe Commercial City, such as winemaking, construction, real estate, maritime trade, shipbuilding, timber, livestock, rice grain, medicinal materials, engraving, papermaking, masonry and plaster, gold and silver utensils, Qinglou tiles, restaurants and restaurants, and slave trading, as well as seventy-two small guilds, for a total of eighty-eight guilds. There will be four leaders in the big guild and one person in the small guild, for a total of 136 leaders. How many people can Wu Hao Gu master? ”

"Thirty or forty at most." Zhang Kexiang calculated, "But a small half of the sixteen big guilds are in his hands, and seven guilds, including brewing, construction, rice grain, medicinal materials, masonry and plaster, engraving, and Qinglou tiles, all listen to him." ”

"That's a lot less power than in the Senate." Ji Sheng smiled, "Raise your hands in the Senate, let's just have three hands, and Wu Haogu has sixteen hands...... There's nothing like that! But if there is a guild, he can have at most thirty or forty hands, and we can pull at least twenty people!" ”

"Guild House?" Xiang An thought for a while, "Wu Haogu won't agree, right?" ”

"There's a way!" Ji Sheng said, "Ji Yizhi gave a trick in the letter. ”

"What kind of immortal trick is it?" Zhang Kexiang asked.

"Let the Shilin newspaper incite the guild to resist taxes after Du Zhongyi's case comes out!" Ji Sheng said, "Without the guild house, the eighty-eight lines will not pay taxes!" ”

Is this considered no representation, no tax? While busy preparing for his own business market, Ji Yi, who had to take time out of his busy schedule to make trouble for Wu Haogu, probably never dreamed that he, a scholar who was not a businessman, was about to become a feudal gravedigger......

Of course, Wu Haogu would not have thought that his business market had progressed to such a point, and he was listening to the report in the conference room of the government office at this time.

The Jiehe Commercial and Municipal Office Building is a four-storey "building" similar to the "Doctor's Group Headquarters" building, located in the semicircular center of the southern part of the commercial city, close to the Jiehe. The conference room was located on the third floor, a rectangular room facing south, and a long table was set up in the room, and Wu Haogu was in the middle of the table, sitting in a seat facing north and south, with a stack of note-taking papers and pencils in front of him, and a stack of reports full of words.

“…… The school building of our police patrol school has now been completed, and the teaching materials and teachers have been completed. The preparatory courses are 'Confucianism', 'Fencing', 'Archery', 'Prison', 'Puppet', 'Detective', 'Law', 'Secret Agent', etc., with a duration of two years. The first phase plans to enroll 50 students. ”

The one who is making the report is Lin Wancheng, the old man is the first police chief of Jiehe Shang City, and now he is in charge of the police patrol school - managing a city is indispensable for a well-trained police force! When the police patrol of Jiehe Commercial City was opened, it was all served by veterans of the forbidden army. Now it is difficult to bear the increasingly complex public security situation in the business market!

Therefore, the training of more capable police patrol officers has also been put on the agenda. Wu Haogu's method was to open a school, and invited a retired head catcher from Kaifeng Mansion to serve as a teacher to systematically cultivate talents.

"We also need to add a 'traffic' class," Wu Haogu interrupted Lin Wancheng, "The police patrol station has now opened traffic services, and the school must also keep up." Double the number of students, and recruit 100 people in the first phase. ”

"A hundred?" Lin Chong interjected, "Führer, there are only more than 200 people in the police patrol station at the moment. ”

Wu Haogu glanced at him: "In two years, there will definitely be more than 500 people." ”

With the large number of merchants and craftsmen who originally lived in Cheongju and Xijin Fucheng moved in, as well as a large number of construction workers and nobles of the Liao State settled down. The population of Jiehe Commercial City has increased rapidly, and now the permanent population of the commercial market has reached 100,000, and it is possible to double it to 200,000 in two years.

With such a large population, of course, there is a need for adequate police and public service forces to manage it. Not only will the number of police officers exceed 500, but the number of public servants in other departments will also increase significantly, and the total number of more than 500 will only come sooner.

"Führer," Zhang Xizai, the deputy mayor and director of the finance department of Shangshi, reminded Wu Hao Gudao, "Is there too many people eating official meals?" Now there are more than 700, if the police patrol more than 500......"

"In two years, there will be more than 1,500 people in the bank!"

"1,500 people?" Zhang Xizai frowned, "It's too much, right?" Now the annual personnel cost is more than 140,000 yuan, if it reaches 1,500 people, won't it cost more than 300,000 yuan? ”

The salary of the civil servants in Jieheshang City is not low, and the most basic police patrol for a month and various benefits are added up, and it also reaches 12 pieces of cloth, which is relative to the regular salary of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty from the nine grades.

"I'm afraid it will cost 400,000 personnel costs at that time." Wu Haogu smiled, "High salary!" This money can't be saved, and the public bank in the commercial market should also have a promotion charter and a grade.

In addition, there must be a system of incorruptibility, not only with a high salary, but also with a pension and benefits such as public housing ...... As long as our public bank can be honest and self-disciplined, we can have a good pension and get real estate as a reward.

If they lose their public office due to corruption and bribery during their employment, their pensions and public housing flats will be recovered! ”

Regarding the problem of corruption in the commercial market, Wu Haogu has always been a headache. The Troubled Times are not suitable for the Jiehe Commercial Market. Because the commercial market is not a state capital or a state in the proper sense of the word, it is still technically a business sector – equivalent to a company running the city. Isn't it true that a company kills a corrupt and bribed manager? The bitter master of the people may go to knock on the drum and sue the emperor, how should Wu Haogu end?

Therefore, when formulating the law, the Senate of Shang City has always avoided heavy sentences, so as not to cause judicial disputes.

Wu Haogu can only take financial incentives or punishments to deal with those civil servants who do not follow the rules very well.

However, this method is unlikely to have any immediate effect, and now every year, twenty or thirty commercial city civil servants are fired and even sentenced by commercial market courts, including many middle and senior civil servants!

In addition, the purpose of Wu Haogu's high salary to civil servants in the commercial market is not only to maintain integrity, but also to attract students from new schools such as Jiehe Yuntai School Palace to serve the commercial market.

Conversely, the high-paying jobs offered by the commercial market will also become an incentive for students to apply for new schools such as the Academy.

The students of the new school became civil servants of the commercial market, members of the doctoral group, officials of the Kaihe City Bureau, and managers of half-new and half-used commercial institutions such as the Republic Bank, and gradually a new group was formed. An elite group that is different from traditional scholars and merchants. With them, Jiehe Shang City will become a new type of autonomous city that is different from other cities in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Shiro," Wu Haogu then called Huang Zhisheng's name, "The public house is built according to the standard of 'Shikumen', not too small, at least two bays. A circle of land within the ring wall was used to build a public house. ”

The ring wall is the city wall of Jiehe Shang City, because it is an illegal building (according to the "Lan Yuan Alliance" Song Dynasty can not also build a city wall on the land close to the border of the Liao State), so it cannot be called a city wall, at first it was called a wall, and now it is called a ring wall.

When the ring wall was constructed, Huang Zhisheng, who was in charge of the construction, played a trick and expanded the site selection of the ring wall. In this way, there is an extra circle of land between the 34 squares and the ring wall of Jiehe South City, which becomes the property of Jiehe Commercial City. In addition, the land in Jiehe North City and the land outside the city of Jiehe Commercial Market are not distributed to shareholders, so they are also real estate in the commercial market. However, now except in the city of Jiehenan, the real estate elsewhere is not valuable. Therefore, Wu Haogu took out the land in the ring wall of Jiehenan City to build a public house.

When the municipal meeting was in progress, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and it was Wu Chenglan, who was Wu Haogu's copywriter, who walked in a hurry, and when he arrived behind Wu Haogu, he said in a low voice: "Führer, someone from the shipbuilding guild has exposed to the Senate that the finance office has solicited bribes!" ”

"Du Tax?" Wu Haogu frowned, "Du Wenzhong? ”

"Yes!"

"This kid can't ......," Wu Haogu shook his head repeatedly.

Du Wenzhong is Du Wenyu's elder brother, and Du Wenyu arranged the fat shortage arranged by Wu Haogu - Wu Haogu has never avoided relatives in Jiehe Shang City. The children of the Wu family, the Ximen family, the Murong family, and the Du family used a lot, and he also used the children of several of his henchmen. There are often people who are caught out for corruption and bribery, and Wu Haogu does not punish them severely, but he just starts something, and he will never be hired.

"Sect Leader Lin," Wu Haogu just sighed, and he didn't expect that this matter would involve a lot of trouble, "You go and put Du Wenzhong under house arrest first." ”

At present, there is no independent anti-corruption agency in Jiehe Commercial City, and the anti-corruption work is supervised by the Senate, investigated and arrested by the police patrol office, and then the court is responsible for judgment and enforcement.

Of course, if Wu Haogu wants to protect anyone, it's also a matter of one sentence. Wu Haogu is not a great master of the blue sky, and he still takes great care of his henchmen who are really useful. Even if the matter of corruption and bribery happens, he will suppress it as much as possible, and then change him to a position away from money - comrades are still good comrades, the main thing is that the temptation of all evil money is too great!

For example, Ximen Qing's cousin, Ximen Anguo, who is also a veteran of the Shang City, and Murong Wang's nephew, Murong Yu, who used to be a veteran, have all committed crimes because of bribery and smuggling. But Wu Haogu couldn't have kicked them out of his team - they were all core members and knew too many secrets. Moreover, both of them are the horsemen of Yunwen and Yunwu, and they are also the key players of the Ximen family and the Murong family, and it is impossible for Wu Haogu to destroy their mouths, so they can only pretend to scold them, and then reuse them. But Du Wenzhong certainly has no such value.
