Section 122 The New Regime in Danzhou

After Liu Yixiao turned around, he chose Chaotian Palace in the city as his residence. The western detachment set up camp outside the city. Most of the old towns in Hainan County are small, lack of infrastructure, and poor sanitary conditions, which are not conducive to development and construction, so the People's Committee of Civil Affairs adheres to the Lingao model in the specific development and construction, that is, chooses another location to build a new city. In the early days, it served as an administrative and military garrison center, gradually attracting merchants, and gradually forming a new urban center.

After the Danzhou team settled down in Chaotian Palace, Liu Yixiao immediately asked Yin Chengshi, the Danzhou Dianshi who presided over the surrender work, to report on the work.

"Humble ...... Humble ...... Yin Chengshi ...... "With the sound of registration in the courtyard, a local servant trotted all the way to deliver the notebook.

A handbook is equivalent to a person's resume, which can understand the basic situation of the person. Liu Yixiao listened to it in the lecture and learned how to read the manuscript. He opened the handbook and looked at it, and then casually opened the "Conversion Manual" in his hand to convert the Ganzhi year in the handbook to AD, and knew that this person was already fifty-eight years old.

Yin Chengshi's hometown is a person from Beizhili, and his family name is "Bagong" - obviously, if it weren't for Bagong, he would not be so old and would not have been reduced to the ends of the earth to be a small canon.

A fifty-eight-year-old man, who is a petty official in a barbaric place far from his hometown, can make some money, but the price is to throw his bones here at any time, which is miserable enough. No wonder Sun Ruiwu, a local petty official, has no feelings for Daming.

"Please come in, Master Yin."

Yin Chengshi walked in cautiously, even though he had already sold himself to take refuge, he naturally wanted to achieve 120,000 points of sincerity. The classic history is "not in the stream", and there is no complement on the official uniform, but the official robe is still neatly washed.

"Humble Yin Chengshi knocks to see your lordship." As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed very skillfully.

Liu Yixiao was already accustomed to the kowtowing habits of the natives of this time and space, but he was still a little uneasy when such an old man kowtowed to him: "Get up, we don't want to do this." ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Xie." Yin Chengshi stood up cautiously and presented the gift list.

The gift list was given by the gentry of Danzhou: 10 pigs, 100 chickens, 100 local cotton cloth and 20 silk. Plus fifty stone brown rice.

Liu Yixiao nodded, and the care was received by a special person. carefully looked at the first Ming official who took the initiative to surrender. Yin Chengshi looked as old as seventy or eighty years old, but his movements were quite nimble - the natives of this plane looked old as soon as they passed fifty, but they didn't expect him to be so old.

Yin Chengshi cautiously glanced at his new boss. He didn't want to be martyred for the Ming Dynasty, and he was afraid that the new foreign ruler would not look down on his surrender, and he was even more afraid that they would suspect that his surrender was deceptive—then he would immediately cut it in two.

Although this group of Australians is not a murderer, he has heard of the reputation of being ruthless when he wants to kill.

"You're the only one in the city?"

"Yes, sir." Yin Chengshi listened to him ask about the affairs of the city, and his heart settled down a little. Since you want to ask questions, you won't kill people casually.

There were originally four officials in Danzhou City, but they had been in a state of dissatisfaction for a long time, and after Zhizhou's suicide, he was left alone. As for himself, he has served as a canon's historian in Danzhou for more than five years. Very familiar with the local situation.

Liu Yixiao asked about the local household registration, money and grain, and the situation of the local shili. Yin Chengshi made a statement one by one, he was very familiar with the local situation, and basically asked one question and ten answers. Liu Yixiao was very satisfied. Don't say it, the level of understanding of local government affairs is much stronger than that of ordinary officials.

It seems that this is a talented person -- the proper retention of local officials who are willing to serve is the established policy formulated by Liu Muzhou, especially before there are enough new cadres to replace them. In addition, it can also set an example for other local officials.

"You must be good at making this canon."

"This ...... This ......" Yin Chengshi's face was distorted, thinking that he was going to squeeze his oil and water. This kind of official is indeed very good, "The villain is indeed somewhat beneficial, but he doesn't dare to ...... too much" He glanced at Liu Yixiao, muttering in his heart that he didn't know how many gifts he had to prepare to satisfy him? He had a gift slip in his sleeve. At this time, I quickly took it out.

"This is a little meaning of the villain, not a tribute, please laugh at it."

The most valuable thing on the gift list is one hundred taels of silver, as well as cloth, silk and the like, as far as Hainan is concerned, it is not too bad to be able to take out a hundred taels of silver to bribe, and the kung fu that this classic has gathered on weekdays is really not too bad.

"You're good at collecting money."

These words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Yin Chengshi suddenly soften - he thought that this group of Australians was going to play the trick of "Lord Qingtian" and use his head to buy people's hearts, and he was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy again and again.

"I don't accept your gifts, you're old, isn't it just a little money to be a petty official here?" Liu Yixiao said very magnanimously.

In fact, he hated it very much in his heart - Liu Yixiao hated corrupt officials the most, and he had a pride in killing one by one. However, the basic truth that killing people does not solve the problem is still clear.

Now is the time to employ people, and we cannot afford to lose the help of this magistrate, who knows the local situation very well.

"Yes, yes, the crime of despicability deserves death......"

"That's a crime that deserves death, and we can't control it." Liu Yixiao said, "Our Australian and Song regimes have always paid attention to the attitude of 'dividing into two'. All the crimes you have committed in the past are caused by the Ming Dynasty, and you can be regarded as a victim. ”

Yin Chengshi couldn't understand how he became a "victim" as a corrupt element, but he recognized what the Australians said. Even claimed "yes".

“…… But in the future, if you do things for Ao Song, you won't be allowed to come here like this, you understand"

"The lowly understands the lowly position, and the lowly office understands"

"Okay, you can take it back. I don't want to. I now appoint you as the Danzhou General Liaison Officer and Deputy Director of the Danzhou Aftermath Bureau. Anything that should deal with the local natives, I will do it through you. You have to get things done well -- you don't take the opportunity to extort trouble. ”

"I don't dare to do anything about my humble position," Yin Chengshi made a heartbroken appearance, "The humble position must change its past mistakes and serve the emperor of the Song Dynasty with all his heart."

"You have gathered all the officials and clerks in the yamen, I have something to do."

At the moment, the big seal in the Danzhou Prefecture Yali was brought in, and Liu Yixiao immediately issued a notice to the people, asking the gentry and people in the city and the four townships not to panic, and to settle their own business.

After gathering the basic clerks, Liu Yixiao took care of the people to handle the case on the spot in the courtyard of Chaotian Palace: there were hundreds of people detained in the state prison in Danzhou and the squad room of the torture room. This group of people must be cleared out quickly.

He brought with him several retained personnel from the original torture room in the Lingao County Ya to handle the case together. The detainees were cleaned up. The legal research office of the arbitral tribunal conducted a special investigation on how to clean up the cases and prisons after receiving the local government, and also invited Wang Zhaomin and the retained personnel of the torture room as consultants.

This handbook provides detailed rules on how to handle cases and how to deal with detainees after taking over the regime. Generally speaking, when the peasants revolted or changed the dynasty, the siege of the city, and after the fall of the city, the "release of prisoners" was done as a kind of "benevolent government". However, from a modern point of view, this approach is difficult to justify.

No matter how dark a regime is and how good the judiciary is, it is impossible for all the good people in the prison to be wronged, there must be many real criminals, and some can even be said to be extremely vicious criminals.

It was very relieving and easy for a while to release everything regardless of whether it was indiscriminate, but the result was a great chaos in public order and a large number of factors of social instability. Even in the old plane, there was no shortage of examples.

With the help of the retained personnel, Liu Yixiao quickly sorted out the case files and the situation of the prisoners one by one.

tax arrears, rent arrears, all kinds of "witnesses" and the like are released on the spot; If they are indeed criminals, they will follow the example of Lingao and set up a labor camp, which will be relocated in the city - the prison environment is too bad, and it will only consume valuable manpower in vain.

It is not difficult to re-handle cases where someone has complained of injustice. Almost all unjust, false and wrongly decided cases cannot be concealed from insiders -- not even from laymen. The main factor that cannot be reversed is that there are entanglements of interests and interpersonal relationships. Now that the world has changed all at once, it's easy to sort out these relationships when they no longer exist.

In this way, it took less than a day to clean up the most important prison administration -- the ancients attached great importance to the ability of magistrates to manage punishments, and regarded them as an important indicator for evaluating the ability of magistrates. As soon as the task force took over the administration, it dealt with the matter with a positive image.

The people's feelings in Danzhou gradually calmed down, and Liu Yixiao knew that his preliminary work had achieved results, so he called Yin Chengshi and asked him to make a list -- Liu Yixiao was about to convene the "First Danzhou Political Consultative Industry Association Meeting."

"Every village has to send people, and there are also big gentry in the county, and each household has to send a person to attend the meeting." Liu Yixiao took care of Yin Chengshi, the chief liaison, "The members of the Aftermath Bureau should be served by big households. This is a matter for the benefit of the township, and it is not allowed to be absent. ”

"Yes, I understand that Yin Chengshi is very positive,

Through the convening of the Political Consultative Industry Association Meeting, a "liaison" system was established in the grassroots villages, through which the initial control of the grassroots and the transmission of government decrees were ensured.

Requisition, rations, and dispatch are not simple coercive extortion, but the most effective way to quickly instill the will to rule at the grassroots level. Through these measures, a large number of people and money were quickly secured from the ground for the use of the task force.
