Chapter 567: A big game of chess

Sun Yuanhua asked: "What is the purpose of the general to call Wu Mingjin, the magistrate of the county?" ”

Sima De guessed: "I guess the general wants Wu Mingjin to manage Lingao New City." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info he is the local magistrate, this is all his business. Before, he was worried that he would harm our affairs, but now that the overall situation has been decided, the entire Lingao County is run like an iron bucket, and he can't afford to set off the storm, except for clinging to the Qiongzhou battalion and serving the general, there is no better choice. ”

Xia Nanzan said: "Mr. Sima is very right. At this time and at that time, three years ago, the Qiongzhou battalion was fledgling, and he must be put in the air. Now that the climate of the Qiongzhou camp has been established, we can consider letting him do things for us. And he is in a good state of mind now, his position is very correct, and his relationship with us is also harmonious, and he has betrayed Jinyiwei, and he can be regarded as half of his own people. At present, we have a big shortage of management talents, and there is no extra manpower to manage this matter, so we can only try people like Wu Mingjin, who have been the county governor for many years, and may be able to succeed after honing it. ”

Sima De suggested: "In this case, you can allocate the money to him again and continue to assist him." ”

"Master Qian?" Xia Nan thought for a moment and nodded, "This is feasible." It was a waste of money to stay in the army to do a paperwork, but he didn't know how to fight and didn't know how to manage the factory, but he helped Wu Mingjin to do his best to do his old job. ”

While speaking, Wu Mingjin was brought in by Liu Quan. He cautiously asked, "I wonder what the general is looking for me?" ”

Xia Nan greeted him politely: "Wu Zhixian is here, please take a seat." There's something I'd like to discuss with you. ”

Wu Mingjin only dared to sit on half of his buttocks, and when he heard Xia Nan's words, he immediately stood up again, and replied with sincere fear: "The general has something to order, and it will be a pain in the discussion to me!" ”

Sun Yuanhua secretly sighed, this is a county parent official under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, in front of Xia Nan is like a mouse seeing a cat, no literati discipline, no officialdom. Thinking of Lu Gengyu's experience again, he was secretly speechless, it turned out that unconsciously, the Qiongzhou battalion had grown into an existence that the entire Qiongzhou officialdom could only look up to, the prefect did not dare to provoke, and the county was afraid of it like a tiger.

Xia Nan said: "You are the parent official of this county, don't be so restrained." In fact, things are simple to say, after Bofu opened the tax customs, the foreign population in Lingao increased sharply, and the mud and sand were mixed, and they must be managed by the county government, but they can't follow the old rules before you. ”

Wu Mingjin was secretly happy in his heart, is this the rhythm of returning power? After three years of waiting, it seems that the bitterness is coming. He still asked respectfully: "Excuse me, general, if you don't follow the old rules, how should you do it?" ”

Xia Nan groaned: "Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time. On the one hand, foreign businessmen must be encouraged to pay taxes, but on the other hand, there are too many people from other places, and the good and the bad are uneven, and if they are not strictly managed, it will be a major hidden danger to the security of the entire Lingao. For example, just now, someone pretended to be a beggar to assassinate me, and if he succeeded, he would drill into a crowded place, where would I arrest him? ”

Wu Mingjin said "with righteous indignation": "There are still people who assassinate the general? It's just eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard. ”

Xia Nan waved his hand: "The matter has passed, don't mention it again." My idea is to divide the entire Lingao people into local residents and migrant populations, and issue residence permits and temporary residence permits respectively, and everyone must have a permit, and the undocumented vagrants and those who do not want to apply for permits will be caught by the county government and locked up. ”

Wu Ming Jinqi said: "I only know that this dynasty will be issued to guide the road, but this residence permit and temporary residence permit are the first time I have heard of it." ”

In fact, the residence permit and temporary residence permit that Xia Nan said are plagiarized from the management mode of the old space-time ID card. As long as everyone receives a certificate similar to the old space-time ID card, it can not only effectively manage the people in the territory, but also make the people who sneak in have nowhere to hide, but the amount of work is really not small.

Sun Yuanhua asked: "If it is just to manage people, the county government has a fish scale booklet, there is a baojia in the city, and there is a governor in the countryside, why do you need to do this residence permit?" ”

Xia Nan replied: "The fish scale booklet is a stuff from many years ago, everyone knows it, and it is useless at all. The year before last, we cleaned up the 'hidden fields', and if we relied on the fish scale book, we couldn't find out a single acre. As for the armor and lieutenant chiefs, the management is too crude to achieve the purpose I want. The local people are issued residence permits, where they live, whether they are male or female, and how old they are, and this information is carefully filled in after verification, so that it is clear at a glance how many people we have under our rule, and how many men, women, and children are each there. Temporary residence permits are issued to migrants, and those who do not have a certificate are detained and imprisoned, so that everyone is under our supervision, and if there are people who steal chickens and dogs and plot against them, they cannot hide at all. ”

Sun Yuanhua frowned and said, "This matter requires a lot of manpower and material resources to do - just finding out the information of all the people under his rule is a troublesome matter. If it is just to prevent those who steal chickens and touch dogs, it is inevitable to kill chickens with a knife, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"That's right, in order for the information on the residence permit to be accurate, you can't just rely on the mouth and pen of the official, you must conduct a census. That is to say, Wuzhi County will organize manpower to investigate and register all the people, and the household registration information should be kept and archived, and then the vouchers will be uniformly made and distributed according to this information. If you don't have enough manpower, you can spend money to hire a clean and literate student to help you do things, don't be afraid to spend money, things that can be done well with money are not a problem. If it doesn't work, mobilize scribes from the neighboring counties of Chengmai and Danzhou to help. ”

Wu Mingjin was speechless, such a big deal can only be done by the wealthy Qiongzhou battalion. Moreover, Zhang Kou is to transfer scribes from neighboring prefectures and counties -- you must know that the counties are not subordinate to each other on an equal footing, and the dispatch of personnel from the establishment of the yamen of other counties to do things has never happened in this dynasty -- such a thing that goes against the common sense of officialdom is said from Xia Nankou, and there is no sense of disobedience, and Wu Mingjin actually has a sense of excitement that is fake and pretending to be a tiger.

"As for Mr. Sun's concern that doing this will not outweigh the losses, it is not a problem." Xia Nan explained, "I spent so much energy on this because I wanted to play a big game of chess, and it was just incidental to prevent the young people." In the future, within the jurisdiction of the Qiongzhou battalion, whether it is to enroll in school, farming, working, doing business, being a soldier, or being an official, you must have a residence permit, and you must not have the experience of being a traitor or a criminal to be eligible, otherwise you will be prohibited from enrolling in school, you will not be allowed to rent tenant land, you will not be allowed to enter a factory to work, you will not be allowed to open a shop, and you will not be allowed to enlist in the army. As for this official, it does not refer to the officials of the imperial court, but the internal stewards of our Qiongzhou battalion. ”

Sima De high-fived and applauded: "I understand, the general means that in this way, the people under his rule are controlled from all levels of industry, agriculture, education and business, and only those who obey the rule and management of the Qiongzhou battalion can live a nourishing life, otherwise they will run into walls everywhere and will not be able to move an inch." In the long run, all the people under the rule of the Qiongzhou battalion only knew the general, not the court and the emperor. ”
