The two are all indispensable on weekdays, as if they are the abyss of the people's heads, and the acupoints are all dependent on the system. Once you encounter "hard goods" that cannot be controlled by the system. It's only deflated.

Australians naturally don't buy the Ming system, and the officials know each other very well. Gao De was originally planning that they might have a riot or something. Unexpectedly, after seeing the shiny spears and broadswords around him, he obediently lined up and went out of the city one by one without saying a word of nonsense. I didn't even use the rope that had been prepared to tie the people.

Among them, the team leader and backbone enjoyed special treatment, and they were directly tied up and stuffed into the loading ox cart and pulled out. They will enjoy a separate room in the class.

The place where the officials went was "study class, and of course study class was not to engage in" study. The main trick is used for screening and interrogation. Before zuihou settles these people. Dude intended to get as much information as he could from them.

As for the six rooms. The house has been fully accepted by a special group of the Planning Commission. Because of the county's financial problems involved in the house, in addition to the arrested Chen Mingwang and his subordinates, "food difference." In addition, the rest of the people are temporarily retained to be cleaned up slowly. The post of Zhou Qi's appointment as the secretary of the household has not yet come down. However, he has officially taken over the place, of course, under the bayonet escort of the crossing group.

Gao De also didn't trust Zhou Qi, in his opinion, none of the people who came out of the old system could be reused. Zhou Qi is just a temporary person, and he has another set of plans for how the household will be disposed of and how to carry out the work of collecting grain and taxes in the future.

For the time being, all the personnel in the torture room have been retained, but the secretary Zhang Shi has already been arrested. His arrest was mainly related to Chen Mingwang. Since he is Chen Mingwang's brother-in-law, such a position can no longer be kept. It's better to make mistakes. Absolutely good put. Because the secretary offices of the other rooms needed to trick them to deal with their daily affairs, after they were summoned to the county office, Xiong Buyou announced that they would continue to work in the office. "Do your best to serve the emperor. To serve the imperial court, but not to leave the yamen. The same applies to the retained personnel of each room.

"Although the personnel in the office did not move, you tricked Lihai to send someone to take over, and they were not allowed to move the archives inside, and Dude gave instructions to Zhou Botao.

The officials have mastered the personnel systems of Lijia, Baozheng, and township officials in the county, as well as the files of the officials in the yamen, etc., all of which are under the management of the house, and all appointments, dismissals, promotions, transfers, and additions must go through their hands. It is equivalent to the county personnel bureau and organization department in modern time and space. The authority is huge.

To clearly grasp the "local cadre" system of Lingao County in Daming Dynasty, the files of this department are very important. The county's shelves and stalls dedicated to storing archival materials have also been assigned special personnel to control them.

Another one. The most important technical recipe is the county's warehouse. One of the targets of the arrest that night was the treasurer in charge of the treasury. After he was arrested, he was immediately detained in the county government office to be dealt with. The Planning Commission has little confidence in how much rice can be collected in the county warehouse in Lingao County. But. There will always be a little bit. And the wealth of this treasurer's family will not be less.

As for the other officials in the county government, they include jailers, qianzuo, executioners, cangdou ranks, executioners and the like. They are all professionals, and although there are drawbacks in almost every link, cleaning them up is not a priority. Just keep it for now.

That night, the lights in Lingao County were bright. Busy all night. Every family in the county was closed and did not dare to come out to visit, and the whole county fell into a tense and uneasy atmosphere. Xiong Buwei was in charge of everything in the county office, and he was very busy.

Wu Mingjin and Wang Zhaomin had no idea what was going on in the front office. After the interrogation in the flower hall at noon. Wu Ya came in and told the whole story. He was satisfied with the result.

It seems that Australians also know the joints of local governance, and appeasing Hunt Shenfang is the first priority, Wang Zhaomin commented.

Wu Mingjin frowned: "It's a good thing to appease Zhu Shen." It's just that Chen Ming.com was reprimanded. How is it good to depose a dry food deficit again, and receive half of the autumn endowment? ”

"Don't worry about this." Wang Zhaomin is very sure. "They dare to arrest Chen Minggang. Naturally, there are countermeasures

Wang Zhaomin volunteered, saying that he was willing to contact the Australians and asked them to come up with a practical countermeasure on how to pay the autumn tax. Come back again.

"Just don't make any more tricks this time?" Wu Mingjin sighed, feeling that his official position was really a little thrilling, and there were no more points left in the good mood of sitting and enjoying his success for more than half a year.

It was afternoon. He was even more in a panic, and a servant suddenly came to report, and the county government was blocked before and after. Even the passage to the front office was guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

"Look at the clothes you wear, it's the soap ban's brother. But I don't know the little one! The servant said.

"Is there such a thing?" Wu Mingjin was taken aback. What is this for?

"Please come over Mr. Wang!" … Eight mountains. After a while, he came back again, saying that the passage to Mr. Wang's courtyard was gone. No one is allowed to enter or leave now.

Wu Mingjin's mood that had been fluctuating once again fell into despair, and he coexisted peacefully with the thief until his delusion of leaving office was completely shattered. It looks like they're really going to rebel this time. I just don't know if I want to accept the false position myself. This terrible thought, which had been haunting him since the morning, frightened Wu Mingjin. Although he was ready to die rather than give in, he really had to die, and it was coming. It's still hard to face your fears. That same evening. Everyone in the county government had a sleepless night. Wu Mingjin didn't close his eyes all night, listening to the sound of the front office in fear. However, aside from the sound of footsteps, there were no incidents of killing or looting that he expected. Dongfang is white, Wu Mingjin got up in the signing room, in order to avoid his family's inquiry, he didn't go back to the inner house to wash hastily, and the maid brought breakfast. Question: Master Wang is already here, do you want to invite him in?

"Of course! Please come in right away. "Wu Mingjin almost didn't even want to eat breakfast, and when he thought about it, Master Wang probably hadn't eaten it." Ask the kitchen to add another one. ”

Wang Zhaomin said that he had already eaten it. Look at him. I didn't look frightened at all. It's a bit smug. Wu Mingjin couldn't help but be suspicious. This Master Wang couldn't have done something yesterday for the thief, right? Fashionable thieves have always been generous,

Master Wang didn't know that Dongzong was suspicious of him in his heart. Tell him the important news you heard in the morning.

"The matter of Qiu Fu, the Australians have all responded." Master Wang knew that the owner was most concerned about this matter, "The autumn grain in the county is not ready for a while." and they will pay for it."

"Advance?!" Wu Mingjin was taken aback. Even the positive forehead belt consumes rice. The brown rice alone would have to cost at least 12,300 koku. This is Lingao, not Nanzhili, not only the population is scarce, but the field yield is even more pitiful. Even if the thieves themselves have a secret method to grow rice, they have more than 10,000 people under their own command. These people also ask for rice to eat."

"Not bad" Wang Zhaomin was obviously very relieved about the ability to cross the group, "In a while, Master Xiong and a master from Delong Grain Store will come to see Dong Weng and talk about Qiu Fu." ”

"How much interest do they want?" Wu Mingjin knew that there was no white pie in the sky. Advance taxes are also found in other places, for example, when some counties levy summer taxes, the imperial court specifies that wheat should be levied, but local wheat is harvested in autumn. Generally, the county will borrow grain from the large households in the county to deal with it, and then repay it after the autumn harvest, which will naturally have an interest.

"No interest." Wang Zhaomin's face showed a smug expression, "Master Xiong said it, because of the Chen Ming.com." The matter of the collection of autumn endowments must be sorted out again. In order not to miss the deadline for the payment of grain. First, they will pay the positive amount and consume the rice. Even the matters of carrying and paying the warehouse are also handled by them. ”

There is a large amount of miscellaneous expenses for carrying and paying for the warehouse, and the matter is cumbersome and subject to the blackmail of the carrier owner. It's a lot of work every year. It gave Wu Mingjin quite a headache. Wouldn't it be a great thing if Australians were willing to undertake it. No wonder Wang Zhaomin looked proud.

Wu Mingjin suddenly remembered: "Last night, the front office was very noisy, and the front and back were isolated, what happened?" ”

"Something big happened." Wang Zhaomin was invited by Xiong Bu as soon as he got away this morning. Xiong Bu estimated that he would talk to him about the matter.

"What?!" Wu Mingjin took the case, "How can this be reasonable, who wins the world in this Lingao County?" ”

Overnight, he actually arrested so many officials, and it was just a matter of reprimanding Chen Mingwang. actually arrested the head of the third shift and the secretary office of the torture room. This is nothing short of a rebellion!

It's not that these people are so loyal to themselves. How easy to use is the opposite. This group of people, all of them, are not good. But the Australians arrested all of them without greeting them, which is too contemptuous of the government!

"Dong Weng!" Wang Zhaomin said, "It seems that this Australian is going to get involved in the affairs of the county government."

"Hmph. This is to coerce the Son of Heaven to order you" Wu Mingjin said this, shut up, what kind of door is he "Son of Heaven", wouldn't it be a big rebellion to spread it. Wang Zhaomin understood what he meant, the Australians were emptying the county government, and after completely taking away the administrative power of the county government, they could do things in the name of Lingao County in the Ming Dynasty.

To be in the core area of the Ming rule. This trick may not be easy to succeed, and it is a different matter in a small county in the south where the emperor is far away like Lingao. It is a vast and sparsely populated area, almost isolated from the rest of the world, and the exchange of goods is extremely underdeveloped. There is very little movement of people. Internal and external news circulated very slowly, and most of the local priests had not seen much of the world, and the imperial examination was not prosperous, and they lacked influence in the officialdom.
