The restructuring activities of the Northern Zhili have been carried out vigorously, and not only have many officials sent down by the DPRK and China, but also many local officials have been forcibly recruited, and the scope of influence is very large.

Chen Zizhuang is one of them.

Chen Zizhuang, the forty-seventh year of Wanli, was awarded the post of Hanlin editor, and then he has been staying in the Hanlin Academy.

However, the normal path, because of Zhu Youxiao's overhaul, was completely out of shape. He did not serve as the chief examiner of the Zhejiang Township Examination as in history, but was sent to Baoding Mansion and became the Imperial History of the Baoding Prefecture Metropolitan Inspection Branch, presiding over the construction of the entire Baoding Prefecture Metropolitan Inspection Institute.

There are so many institutions under the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the name has become a big problem, the highest governor of the central government is the left and right imperial history, what is the name of the place, the provincial capital and county is a difficult level, and later, the first leader, Sun Juxiang, the left capital of the imperial history, simply did not want to do it, come to a simple point, all called the imperial history, just add the name of the place in front of it.

This move also inspired Dali Temple, Dali Temple Qing Cao Yubian is also distressed by various titles, seeing that Sun Juxiang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate adopted this method, he also did the same, and directly dealt with it like this.

So in this case, Chen Zizhuang became the imperial history of Baoding Mansion, and he was the fifth grade, only one grade lower than the Baoding prefect from the fourth grade.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the grades of each province were different, but later it was agreed to revise it to the fourth grade, and after that, after the governor became a permanent official, the officials of each province were all downgraded by one level, and the political envoy was reduced from the second rank to the second grade, and the prefect became the fourth grade from the fourth grade.

However, this grade may not be able to be kept for long, and now that the North Zhili has withdrawn from the province and changed to the province, the newly appointed governor Li Banghua is also the level of the third grade, and it is foreseeable that the prefect's fourth grade will definitely be reduced.

There are no political envoys in the north of Zhili, and the seven or eight prefectures, Sanzhou, and Zhili prefectures are directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, and there are no higher governors at the top, which also reduces the burden on the construction of the provincial government. However, it is precisely because of this that there has been a dispute over where to determine the provincial capital.

However, recently Li Banghua has a plan and wants to set the provincial capital in the ancient city of Zhuozhou, but this involves Shuntian Mansion and the administrative division between the prefectures, Zhuozhou is now subordinate to Shuntian Mansion, and Li Banghua wants to come over, and he must go through the emperor's consent.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Zizhuang in Baoding, what he should be concerned about at present is how to do his job well and run the Baoding Prefecture Metropolitan Inspection Branch.

The current Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the previous Metropolitan Procuratorate, have a great change, and have many more functions, not only to supervise local officials, impeach them for illegal acts, but also to have judicial matters, what to file cases for investigation, public prosecutors and the like, and supervise the judicial system.

But he didn't dare not look at it, these were written by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and in the future, the administrative work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as the number one, he must master it. These are just small things, and more things are for the formation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in each county under his jurisdiction, and he also needs to be responsible.

This is very nerve-wracking, there are few officials who are not sent in Beijing, and even fewer who can directly serve as the governor of a prefecture. Therefore, from the capital division, that is, each prefecture and county sent a chief official, as for the following manpower, they have to find their own way, either from the governor or from the local recruitment.

This time, for the restructuring of Hebei Province, the cabinet really fought hard and delegated a lot of powers, one of which is this right to call, any talent needed in the formation of an institution, as long as there is a local prefect, the local governor can be forced to requisition, give the establishment, and those who do not obey will be removed from the fame of the school officials everywhere, and will never be used.

However, even so, Chen Zizhuang didn't find many satisfied subordinates, it is really that the style of learning in this place is not prosperous, even if it is a person, the knowledge is similar to that of a talent in the Jiangnan area, so he pays attention to using it.

After nearly two months of busy work, Chen Zizhuang finally completed the construction of the Baoding Prefecture Ducha Branch, and each department was also divided according to the documents issued by the cabinet.

"It's just, how am I going to do my job?" On this day, Chen Zizhuang sat in his office, looking at the Di Bao and the Imperial Daily with blank eyes, and the latest news in the center was the scene of the triumphant return of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"Your Majesty has been back for a few days, although I have set up the Ducha Branch here, but there is still nothing to do, in case Your Majesty takes the test, how about it." Chen Zizhuang's face was full of sorrow, he was naturally very happy to be in charge of the government, although it was the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it was easy to make achievements.

It's just that, correspondingly, if you don't do it well, it's also very obvious, especially in this period, personal achievements are directly displayed in front of the emperor, in addition to mistakes, the future is worrying.

"Your Excellency, the prefect sent a message to ask your Excellency to greet the police chief sent down from above." Suddenly, a scribe knocked on the door and walked in. These scribes were all economic officials, leading the country's wealth.

"Chief of Police?" Chen Zizhuang was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed, "Is it finally coming?" The police department has finally started to set it up! As soon as he stacked the newspaper in his hand, he ran out and went to the gate of the city.

The officialdom of Hebei Province has changed from top to bottom, no matter how much the provincial government has to be built, even the government has many changes, such as the six rooms set up in the past modeled on the six central departments, and now it is officially incorporated into the official system, and the principals are all given official bodies and promoted grades.

Originally, the intention of the cabinet was to re-appoint officials to take over, but the emperor was troublesome, so he directly waved his pen and promoted them on the spot, and all the economic officials who had been in charge of various rooms were promoted to officials, and they were promoted and dismissed from officialdom.

"What are you afraid of, you will be promoted directly on the spot, anyway, now there is a metropolitan procuratorate, and if you don't do well, you can go through the procedure directly and send it to prison." It is said that this is the emperor's original words, and this sentence is like a basin of ice water, which makes those officials wearing black gauze and official uniforms warn their hearts, do not threaten small profits as before, and ruin today's good future.

When Chen Zizhuang came to the gate of the mansion, several major leaders had arrived, and they were left to die.

"Master Chen, it's here!" The prefect Chen Xin took the lead in bowing, followed by Wang Lei of the Dali Branch Temple in Baoding Prefecture, and the heads of the houses.

"Hello everyone!" Chen Zizhuang didn't hold it big either, and saluted one by one.

After saluting, several people stood quietly, waiting for someone to come, taking this opportunity, Chen Zizhuang secretly asked the prefect, "Lord Chen, I don't have an official notice, I don't know who this so-called police chief is?" ”

"Lord Chen...", this title made the prefect Chen Xin feel weird and awkward, as if he was calling himself, but the other party was helpless and the surname was Chen, and it was really difficult to change his words, so it was worth saying awkwardly, "You should know that the empire has set up a new police department, and there is also a police department under the governor's yamen, and this Baoding police station is the corresponding department. ”

"Where did it come from, I have to wait for His Majesty to come back from the expedition, could it be that he is the same Jinyi Guard as the Jingshi Police Department?" Chen Zizhuang asked curiously, his tone was more polite, after all, the other party was the prefect, and he was older than himself, so it was not too much to be respectful.

"Hey, where else could it be, Yulin Junbei!" The prefect Chen Xin spread his hands and looked helpless.

"Yulin Army!?" Chen Zizhuang grew his mouth, "This ...... This... Make no mistake. A military leader can also sit according to the case? ”

"You haven't read the newspaper delivered yesterday, have you?" Prefect Chen Xin gave him a strange look.

"No, I've been too busy these two days to watch." Chen Zizhuang returned embarrassedly.

"That's it, if you see it, you don't love this idea." Chen Xin explained in a quiet tone, "In the palace newspaper, His Majesty has clearly issued a letter to reset the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which is opposite to the cabinet, one is in charge of the government and the other is in charge of the army, and the civil and military are divided and the size is relative. ”

"Ahh Chen Zizhuang was very surprised, this is big news, "Even so, a soldier, to be a civilian..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Chen Xin directly interrupted, "The police are military positions, although they belong to government offices at all levels, but there is no doubt that they are military positions. ”

"In other words, I'm going to be an official with a vulgar martial artist in the future?" Chen Zizhuang asked with a somewhat ugly face.

"That's true, we can't wait to deal with it." Chen Xin was depressed, the police station was in charge of public security, and he was his subordinate, so he couldn't avoid it.

The same is true for Chen Zizhuang, the Metropolitan Procuratorate also has a role in supervising the police department, and it is clearly stated in the work booklet of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that it is his job to urge the police to solve cases.

"Hey!" Looking at the owners of the houses next to him who were dressed in the official mansion and had no bearing, and then thinking about the fact that there would be a killing skin mixed in in the future, Chen Zizhuang felt that his future officialdom career would be dark.

"Don't sigh, look, it's coming." Chen Xin pulled his sleeve, and together with Wang Lei next to him, the three of them stepped forward to greet him.

I saw more than ten horsemen flying from far away, dusty, and stopped at the city gate.

"I've seen the prefect."

The leader was dressed in a military uniform, and looking at the mark on his shoulder, he was a captain, according to the newspaper, which was equivalent to the seventh-rank rank of a civilian official. Quickly looked at the other party, Chen Zizhuang secretly judged in his heart.

"Everyone is finally here, please come inside, the official has already set up a banquet in the restaurant in the city, and will wash the dust for the bit." After all, Chen Xin is the prefect, and the overall situation is stronger, he soon saw that the dozen or so people on the opposite side all looked at each other, in addition to the fierce aura, what impressed him the most was the other party's body.

Almost everyone thinks that there is a certain defect in the body, or a few fingers are missing, or an arm is missing, and then there is a part of the nose, eyes, ears, etc.

This kind of appearance made the officials of Baoding Mansion who went out of the city to greet them look frightened, and thinking about how to deal with them in the future, everyone felt that their eyes were gloomy.
