At the end of June, seeing that it was about to enter July, as soon as Chen Kai's internal meeting of the Guangzhou branch of the Zheng Group held in the governor's yamen in Guangzhou was over, he summoned the governors of all counties in Guangzhou to come and receive the instructions of the governor's yamen.

Guangzhou has 16 counties, including Nanhai, Panyu, Dongguan, Conghua, Longmen, Zengcheng, Xin'an, Xiangshan, Xinning, Xinhui, Shunde, Sanshui, Qingyuan, Lianzhou, Lianshan, Yangshan, etc., which occupy the core area of central Guangdong, and extend to the north to the junction with Huguang.

Compared with the Chaozhou Mansion, which has thirteen counties after passing through the sub-counties, and the Qiongzhou Mansion, which has maintained the original scale of three states and ten counties since the recovery, this volume alone is worthy of the status of the provincial capital.

Speaking of which, although these sixteen counties are under the jurisdiction of a single prefecture, the current situation is different. The northernmost counties of Lianzhou, Lianshan, and Yangshan were now under the rule of the Qing court, while Xinning County in the south was under Chen Qice's control.

Aside from these four counties, the remaining twelve counties were nominally subject to Chen Kai's control, but the five counties of Qingyuan, Sanshui, Shunde, Xinhui, and Xiangshan, as well as the two counties of Nanhai and Panyu, which were attached to the city of Guangzhou, were transferred from Li Dingguo. Fortunately, the two counties of Nanhai and Panyu were all Guangzhou natives brought by Chen Kai from Chaozhou under Jin Weixin's manipulation, but the officials of the other five counties were appointed by the civil official group in eastern Guangdong, and some things had to be finalized as soon as possible before the summer tax was collected.

In the Ming court system, the county level and above were the government, and the officials at the prefectural level were responsible to the political envoy and the procuratorate, and the officials at the provincial level were also under the title of the political envoy or the procuratorate, and these two divisions and the command envoy were to follow the instructions of the governor.

The tradition of a province is like this, and Chen Kai is overstepping the level, which does not conform to the upper and lower systems. However, the current prefect of Guangzhou has not yet been appointed, and Chen Kai, the political envoy and the envoy of the procurator, only agree that Wang Jiang is in charge of the former, and the latter has to wait for news from Zheng Chenggong's side. After all, Chen Kai's entrainment is still only some subordinates of the governor's yamen, and he can't hold such a high-level official position.

The decree was issued, and the Zhengyin of the twelve counties came one after another, and all the cards were all in place within the specified time. The meeting was still held in the governor's yamen, and a group of Baili marquis sat down, and as soon as Chen Kai arrived with the news of the second hall, everyone hurriedly stood up and gave the most respectful courtesy to this Shangguan who everyone knew was not easy to provoke.

"No courtesy."

The big lama sat on the chair of the master, waved his hand, and everyone saluted and thanked him. For example, the counties in the eastern part of Guangzhou, as well as the counties of Nanhai and Panyu, are sinking and sitting in danger. On the other hand, the other five magistrates sat down next to the edge of the chair with their buttocks, and they didn't dare to be rude at all.

Respect and humility, the system is like this, this is still a seat, and then a lower-level, or middle- and lower-level military generals sometimes don't even have a seat, and they are in a good mood to catch up with the officials, maybe they will be rewarded with a Maza, which is already a great gift.

Classes and rules have always been ubiquitous. However, Chen Kai didn't care about this, he picked the latter, and then said with a smile: "It seems that this chair will not need to make such a big face in the future, it will add up to a lot, and a few yamen will be able to build more warships, which is a more cost-effective business." ”

The words fell, and Chen Kai casually went to get the tea cup on the case. At this moment, those officials who have been under Chen Kai for many years already have an understanding of the temper of this official, and the magistrate of Dongguan County almost laughed out loud. However, the other five, who had never seen such a scene, had a look of ridicule on their faces, and they were very embarrassed for a while. In this way, several people looked at each other a few times, and then looked at the other officials, and one of them simply gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, moved his butt back a little, and then learned to sit upright, and the remaining four did the same.

"That's right, you don't like the diaphragm, and I think that if someone slides down from it during a meeting, it will interrupt my train of thought."

After taking a sip of tea, he didn't mention it again. Putting down the teacup again, Chen Kai didn't bother to do too much foreshadowing, and after a few casual greetings, he started the meeting straightforwardly.

Resolute and resolute is his label, most of them have long been accustomed to this, even if they don't understand, the sitting posture problem just now has already reminded them, presumably these people can also understand that in Chen Kai's territory, they must abide by Chen Kai's rules. Otherwise, don't think about any seats in the lobby of this governor's yamen!

As for whether the five magistrates have thoroughly comprehended it, it doesn't matter anymore, Chen Kai's psychological hints are in place, and that's enough.

"Today, I have summoned all the gentlemen here, firstly, the political envoy of Guangdong, the envoy of the inspection and the prefect of Guangzhou have not yet arrived, and the official has temporarily taken up an errand; Second, it is necessary to have an understanding of the current situation of each prefecture and the issuance of some government decrees. After all, the current situation is still the same as the enemy is strong and we are weak, and there has been no fundamental change. So, there's no time to wait. ”

As soon as the words came out, the magistrate of Nanhai County stood up and responded, saying that he would firmly fight for the cause of Daming Zhongxing under the leadership of Chen Kai, even with a number of officials. Only the five officials in the western part of Guangzhou were half a beat slower, but in front of Chen Kai and in front of so many colleagues, they also followed closely and echoed their words.

"Since this is the case, let's talk about the situation in each county first, one by one, starting with Panyu County."

Nanhai and Panyu counties are both attached to the city of Guangzhou, the dividing line of the two counties is in the north of Guangzhou city from the small road outside the city, south to Panfu Road, Dabeizhi Street, Sipailou, until the south end of the small market street, about the liberation road in the city of Guangzhou in later generations. The east of Jiefang Road belongs to Panyu County, and the west of Jiefang Road belongs to Nanhai County. The people in the city had lawsuits and lawsuits, and they all went to different county offices to solve problems according to this demarcation. The same is true of the villages and towns outside the city. Among these two counties, Panyu has been named for a longer time, and the government is also located here, known as the first county.

Chen Kai took the roll call, and the magistrate of Panyu stood up, saluted Chen Kai and all the colleagues present, and then handed out the draft and plate that had been brewed for a long time.

This person is the same as the magistrate of Nanhai County, they are all locals in Guangzhou, and they were originally all pawns. Chen Kai rescued them from the city of Guangzhou, just like Ding Youyi, who is still working hard in the Chaozhou Manufacturing Bureau, these grassroots officials are naturally devoted to Chen Kai, and there is no lack of petition activities of the people in Guangzhou some time ago with them operating behind the scenes.

In the past few years, those red tapes are not easy to call Chen Kai, and he has long forgotten them. Speaking bluntly, there are mainly two things: first, the return to the homeland movement organized by Chen Kai, this matter has basically come to an end, and there is still the rest, but the houses and everything are also controlled by the county government, and they will not be easily divided; Second, in Chaozhou that year, Chen Kai had promised to compensate the people of Guangzhou for their tuntian in Chaozhou with double the land of Guangzhou Prefecture after returning to Guangzhou, which was promised by Chen Kai, and now that Chen Kai controls the overall situation, he will naturally start to do it.

"Xiaguan has carried out the final verification work according to the records brought from Chaozhou, but it is easy in the city, and outside the city, there are many fields that have been encroached upon by the Tartars to be returned to the people, and it will take time to continue to sort them out."

"Well, there's no rush for now. But we must win the trust of the people, and we must post an example in the county government to inform the people in the city about the return of the usurped land to the old owner outside the city. In addition, depending on the time of delay, the people can be compensated appropriately. However, it is important not to prematurely lead to the widening of the province's fiscal gap. ”

"The subordinate obeys."

For compensation, the magistrate does not agree very much in his heart, because the government has always had a single decision power for the small people, and the latter was able to get those fields thanks to Chen Kai's gift, and now because of the trouble, he has to delay time, and he even has to give compensation, which is as if the government owes the people something, and it is a bit of putting the cart before the horse.

However, since this is Chen Kai's habit, as a subordinate, he naturally wants to do his best to complete it, not only because of the decree of his boss, but also to repay Chen Kai for saving his life and knowing the two great kindnesses.

"Fu Jun, and those military tuns of the King of Xining. The lower officials thought that these things had to be sorted out, but they had to be arranged after the return and division of the land of the local people, so as to avoid the chaos caused by the simultaneous process. ”

Li Dingguo's army was gone, but on the ground of Guangzhou, the seven counties he had previously controlled left a lot of military cantonments to raise troops. Chen Kai does not plan to cancel these tuntians for the time being, after all, he has to take into account the feelings of his allies. However, the extensive management model, especially the change of the ownership of administrative power after Li Dingguo left, these are all involved, but it is impossible to move it.

When the magistrate talked about it, Chen Kai also nodded, expressing a positive attitude towards this - those people in Guangzhou are his basic plate, and he naturally has to give priority to their interests, so as to obtain greater support. At the same time, it is also a reward for their activism in the petition movement. There is a give, there is a gain, so that the bond with each other can be stronger.

"Next, Nanhai County."

Panyu Zhixian sits down, no matter from which point of view, Nanhai County is the best. Hearing this, the Nanhai Zhixian got up and saluted like a ceremony, and what he wanted to talk about was still the matter of returning to his homeland and dividing the land that Panyu Zhixian had just talked about, which was nothing more than a change in the situation of the county. In addition, there is one more thing to mention, and hearing his words, Chen Kai also made a direct reply.

"Inspector Guo had discussed with this official before he set off, saying that there was a shortage of blacksmiths in Zhaoqing, and the army of the king of Xining also needed to repair weapons nearby. Therefore, they took half of the blacksmiths from Foshan to accompany the army. That's for now. ”

For Foshan, Chen Kai has plans to make a layout. However, this is not something that can be rushed, and similarly, he himself has an uncertain attitude about whether to invest more. As for the reason, it is still the same problem that was considered when the decision was made to develop the Shiroku iron ore mine.

This matter can be put to an end for the time being, and Chen Kai next pointed to the five counties of Conghua County, Longmen County, Zengcheng County, Dongguan County and Xin'an County.

Conghua was once the logistics base of Shang Geng's two feudal domains when they went south to capture Guangzhou, and among the Hongyi cannons that the Qing army attacked the city, except for those brought from Nanjiang, the others were cast there. This important position was not declared until the Qing army captured Sanshui. Today, when Li Dingguo and Chen Kai originally occupied Guangzhou, this was the frontier of the northern line of Chen Kai's department, but when Chen Kai recovered Shaozhou Mansion and had the central and southern parts of Shaozhou Mansion as the forward position, the importance of Conghua County had to give way to Qingyuan and Sanshui, because waterway transportation could better transport military supplies and personnel.

In Conghua, the four counties of Longmen, Zengcheng, Dongguan and Xin'an are all bordered by Huizhou Prefecture. Hao Shangjiu's obedience to Chen Kai at this stage is still relatively high, so he doesn't have to worry too much. In these prefectures, agricultural production is the first priority, and the cultivation of cash crops such as fragrant wood cannot be ignored, but fortunately, last year's war did not burn very much here, and according to the reports of the prefectures, the output should not suffer too much.

"The government strictly prohibits the collection of fragrant wood at a low price, and it must also strictly prevent profiteers from maliciously manipulating the market price."

"The lower officials obey the order."

Of the four counties, the first three are fine, but only Xin'an County, which was originally an unimportant southern border island, has now developed into a maritime trade center. This is a long time coming, and Chen Kai does not plan to change it. As for the administrative aspect, it must be directly under the yamen of the governor of Guangdong, because there are too many things involved there, and there will be more in the future, and it is far from enough to be placed under a county.

"The Hong Kong Special Economic Zone, how can I suddenly have the feeling of drawing a circle by the South China Sea."

Maybe it was a certain king from another time and space, which suddenly made Chen Kai shiver, and goosebumps flashed heavily on his skin, so awkward.

Coughing lightly, with the embarrassment, Chen Kai pointed to the magistrates of Qingyuan and Sanshui counties. For these two places, the restoration of people's livelihood is naturally not good, but the most important thing is the transfer of military supplies, especially the military supplies of Sanshui, northern Guangdong and Li Dingguo, which must pass through here, and there is no room for half a loss.

"However, we must not occupy too much people's resources."

It's the rhythm of letting the horses run without letting them graze. However, officialdom has always been a high-level official who crushes people to death, Chen Kai, a governor and a member of the second grade, directly gives these seven-grade sesame mung bean officials tasks and burdens, but if there is a plan to go further in their careers, maybe they will be grateful for this.

The officials present reported the local situation one by one, and Chen Kai also gave instructions one by one. Subsequently, Shunde and Xiangshan counties focused on silk production and the other on relations with Macao. Until the end, Xinhui County, that one in the Ming and Qing dynasties in the Ming and Qing dynasties two fierce battles, the war disaster continued, can be called the most dilapidated place in Guangzhou Prefecture, Chen Kai is even more focused on the importance and implementation of tax reduction.

"This year, all counties under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou have different degrees of tax reduction and exemption policies. In this regard, Xinhui is the most beneficial, tax-free for two years. However, what this official wants to make clear is that whether it is Xinhui or other counties, during the tax reduction and exemption period, there are those who dare to exploit the people in the name of collecting taxes or other items, the official who stretches out his left hand chops off his left hand, and the official who stretches out his right hand chops off his right hand, and he does what he says! ”

"The lower officials and others must obey the orders of the army, rest with the people, and dare not disobey the halfway."

At this point, the sound of getting up and responding to the harmony has been very neat. Chen Kai saw it, just smiled slightly, and then didn't say anything. When the meeting was over, Wang Jiang, the incoming political envoy of Guangdong, came to report on the personnel arrangements for the salt and fishery classes in Guangdong Province.

In the Ming Dynasty, the local administrative, judicial, and military powers were initially separated, and the political envoy Yamen was in charge of administrative affairs. Chen Kai was very relieved to hand over these things to Wang Jiang, an official from a student background, on the one hand, he did not believe that if he did well in the imperial examination, he would definitely have the ability to govern the government, and more importantly, Wang Jiang's own ability had already been reflected. When it comes to practice, the ability is still greater than a simple diploma, but the diploma is higher, which is conducive to future development.

Just like Li Dingguo and Guo Zhiqi jointly signed the appointment of Chen Kai as the governor of Guangdong, it is impossible for the imperial court to reject it, Chen Kai has already written a note to apply for Wang Jiang to be the political envoy of Guangdong, and the current Ming court will not reject it either. The official date of taking office is approaching, and Wang Jiang's side is getting more and more busy.

With the re-establishment of the bureaucratic system in Guangdong Province, there were two governors of Guangdong, governors of Guangdong, and political envoys immediately, and the command envoys were dispensable in the current situation, and the only one missing was the procurator in charge of justice. This appointment did not make Chen Kai wait too long, almost on the eve of Wang Jiang's official inauguration, a letter was sent from Fujian, on which Zheng Chenggong mentioned the name of the Guangdong envoy he was going to recommend.

"Cao Conglong, it's him!"
