Pingyin County!

Hong Min has been here for half a year.

From the beginning of the puzzle, then the shock, and then the full of worry.

When he arrived at the ministry, he knew his duties and what he had to do.

The worry in my heart weakened a little.

Came to Pingyin County.

Without the imaginary resistance, the officials of the entire Pingyin County, almost from top to bottom, were all wiped out.

It may be a bit untrue to describe the officialdom of Pingyin County with ten not one existing, but the real status quo should be ten without ten.

From the first level, Lizheng, father, Du Zai, Li Jian Men, Li pawn.

And then to the pavilion level, pavilion chief, pavilion Zuo, pavilion marquis, thief, pavilion father, pavilion pawn.

Then at the township level, the township has rank, township husband, township zuo, township tour payment, township three elders, and township pawn.

Then to the officials at all levels in Pingyin County, one is counted as one, and they are all dismissed, those who should go home go home, and those who should be punished are punished.

For a time, the people of Pingyin County were panicked.

And the days of military management are also a little chaotic, so that the daily life of the entire Pingyin County can hardly be maintained, and it is even difficult to achieve normal operation.

This situation is undoubtedly a huge challenge for these officials who are about to come to Pingyin County to perform their duties.

Chen Hua, the county magistrate, is from Suixian County, Nanyang County, even though he has more than 20 years of political experience, but after coming here, he is still a little helpless.

The entire county commander is a bare-bones commander, and there are only a few henchmen brought by himself under his hands.

But these people are not officials, they can only help him do some trivial chores, run errands or something.

After Hong Min came here, he also felt a headache.

Fortunately, Hong Min has a lot of grassroots experience, although he has not been a real leader, his experience is enough to support him to sit in this position now.

After realizing the layout of the imperial court for Pingyin County, Hong Min changed his report to his direct superior county commander and suggested that the officials at these two levels in the township should adopt the method of different appointments in the county to solve the problem.

After all, Pingyin County is only a pilot project, and county-level officials can be appointed in other places, even if there are a lot of additional positions, it is enough to transfer eight officials from other places.

However, the number of people at the township level is extremely large, and if all of them are transferred from other counties, the work is extremely complicated.

Moreover, if the grassroots officials use the words of people from other counties, all kinds of problems will inevitably arise.

On the contrary, those problems can be avoided by letting them serve in other townships in the county.

Although it is not my own township, it may be next door, no matter how far away, it is also in a county.

If you are too nonsense, you will be pointed at and scolded every day, and you will not be able to mix in this county.

And if the official monument does this, it basically can't escape the fate of being dismissed.

Chen Hua felt that this method could be tried, so he reported the idea to the officials in charge of Pingyin County, and was finally approved and allowed to experiment.

I thought that it would be a difficult battle next, but Chen Hua didn't expect it.

I, a subordinate who has never been a master officer, has such a wealth of experience, and many things can be handled without worrying about it myself.

In just two months, all the officials in all the townships and districts of Pingyin County were in place, and the work of the government was finally carried out normally.

As the principal, Hong Min has hardly been in the county government in the past few months.

Through various means, they investigated, inquired, and secretly inquired about the performance of these officials after taking office, and made a list of evaluations.

Maybe it's because of habit, no matter what Hong Min does, he likes to do a part of it himself, so as to know it in his heart.

However, today, as usual, Hong Min habitually went down to take a turn.

Unexpectedly, before he left the city, he heard some rumors.

As soon as he arrived below, he was asked by the officials, and he was a little confused.

So he had to temporarily give up his job and return to the county government.

"You mean, there was a sudden rumor in and around the city today?" Chen Hua realized that the situation might not be quite right, and couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, this rumor came very suddenly, and it spread extremely quickly, I suspect that it was spread in an organized manner, this sudden rumor, coupled with the previous events in Pingyin County, made the people suddenly a little worried." Hong Min said.

"It's strange, how could there be such a rumor all of a sudden?" Chen Hua frowned tightly.

Conventionally, there is no wind.

There must be a reason for what kind of rumors have been circulated among the people.

Either the official deliberately released it, or someone did it deliberately.

But there are all kinds of rumors, and this kind of rebellion has something to do with it, what's the use of releasing it?

Could it be that you are still worried that there will be rebellion in Pingyin County?

That's not right!

Could it be......

Chen Hua suddenly thought of a possibility.

There is no ground, and the rebel may not be Pingyin County.

And it is normal for the people of Pingyin County to be worried because of the previous incident.

If you don't enjoy those policies, you won't have tax exemption for three years, and that's a lot of money.

And the most lethal thing is that taxes are doubled.

The current tax is five acres and one stone.

According to the average yield of two stones per mu, this tax rate is one out of ten.

It is neither light nor heavy, and it is within the acceptable range of the people, provided that it is not too frequently conscripted.

But in addition, there is a large number of official fields in Pingyin County, which are distributed in every corner of the county, and the people who cultivate them can be directly contracted without running around.

Cultivating official land only requires effort, and for every three acres cultivated, as long as the yield per mu is not less than one and a half stones, the tax can be offset by one stone.

If you count this, the tax is actually not heavy.

But there is one point, the lazy man.

A diligent person can earn ten more stones of grain than others in a year.

And people who are too lazy can earn 20 stone less than others in a year.

Because I'm too lazy, I can't keep up with the output in my own fields, and I have to pay taxes, isn't it twenty stone less than others?

The five acres tax one stone becomes five acres tax and two stones, and the cultivation of official land is not allowed to offset the tax payment, who can afford this tax rate?

Chen Hua realized that it might be that some places were not peaceful, and the imperial court might be taking precautions at the end of the rain.

So he instructed his subordinates: "Order all townships and counties to ask the officials, today's rumors are all nonsense, don't panic everywhere, if there is an opportunity to cause trouble, punish it severely!" ”

"No!" A henchman hurriedly ran out.

Thinking about it, Chen Hua still felt unsafe.

Then he instructed: "Go and inform the county lieutenant and ask him to send more people to inspect, and some people must not be given an opportunity." ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Hua took out another silk cloth, thought for a while, and then picked up a pen and wrote on it.

Silk cloth is very valuable, and the storage capacity of each county is not large.

Ordinary official documents can only be written in bamboo slips, and only those that must be archived with official seals are allowed to be written in silk cloth.

As for paper, it is not very mature now, and I don't know that the imperial court is engaged in paper.

After a while of writing and writing, Chen Hua took out his official seal from his body and stamped it on it, then handed it to another henchman, and instructed: "Quickly go and hand it over to Captain Wei of the city defense!" ”

The city defense army is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and although it is stationed in the counties, the county commander has no right to mobilize them.

The two are not a system, nor are they subordinate to each other.

The main task of the city defense army is to guard the city, control the city gates, and guard the county warehouse.

But if there is no connection between the two, it is naturally not conducive to local development, so there is this document written by Chen Hua himself.

Although Chen Hua did not have the right to mobilize the city defense army, after receiving the documents, the city defense army needed to maintain the vigilance of the whole battalion or a certain number of troops according to the requirements, and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

If it is determined that there is unrest in the city, it can directly send troops out of the camp to suppress it without an order.

Of course, the decision on whether to send troops or not is in the hands of the captains of the city defense corps.

As for whether to send troops or not, the officials of the military department will personally review it afterwards to see if his decision is reasonable.

In short, this approach is to follow Wang Buxing's explanation, to loosen the power of power, and at the same time to put power in a cage.

This method, at present, is only used in Pingyin County in the entire Dahan, and it is also a pilot.

From beginning to end, Hong Min played his role very well, except for the appointment and dismissal of officials, he did not intervene or ignore anything.

"The prefectural order, the imperial history ...... from outside the government"
