After solving the problem of infighting, in front of Zhang Yichen, Du Ruhui, and Luo Cheng, the three major leaders of Zhangqiu County, the most urgent problem is actually the problem of public security. During this period of time, it has been a blue-faced ghost and a thief in Zhishilang, as well as a gang of cattle slaughterers and so on, and the key is that there is Changbai Mountain, a hotbed of thieves who hide filth and dirt.

In particular, this Changbai Mountain is huge, spanning the six counties of Qi County, so even if Zhangqiu County catches thieves and thieves, thieves from other places will still flow over, and even retreat back into the mountains after the case is done.

The most terrifying thing is that they usually hide within the jurisdiction of several other counties in Changbai Mountain, but they go to Zhangqiu County to commit crimes, and run back after they finish doing it.

In this way, Zhangqiu County cannot even cross the border to crack down, and it will still be very difficult to jointly handle the case.

Now Luo Cheng proposed a new method, that is, to move the county barracks from Zhangqiu County to this Changbai Mountain, and guard the roads leading from the mountain to Zhangqiu City at the foot of the mountain.

The soldiers stationed in the mountains not only had to crack down on and suppress the bandits and prevent them from taking root and settle down again, but also to prevent a nest of thieves from wandering over and passing by.

And Luo Cheng only needs the county seat to pull out the fields left by his fugitives as a county soldier's army.

"What does Lieutenant Du think?" Zhang Yichen did not agree immediately, but asked Du Ruhui first. The relationship that had just been bridged, he didn't want Du Ruhui to feel that this matter was agreed upon by them.

"Absolutely, it's a great idea. The fugitives from the mountains have been arrested, there are empty villages left, and the land has become wasteland, which is registered in the county account, but in fact no one will cultivate it. After a long time, the village became an abandoned village, and the fields became deserted fields, which made it easier to attract homeless people to flee to the past, and even became a den of thieves harboring bandits. ”

"If the county soldiers of Luo Duwei are willing to go over and station, then the county should support it. I think that not only can all those fields be assigned to the county barracks as military cantonments, but even the county can specially pull out a batch of seeds, farm tools, and cattle, and even pull out some prisoners to help with farming. ”

The soldiers of the county barracks, that are all in turn to serve, the people have to bring their own dry food to be on duty, if there is a tuntian, then at least the county barracks can be self-sufficient, the people on duty only need to cultivate and manage the tuntian during the leisure time of training, then they do not need to bring their own food to be on duty, they can eat the grain produced by the county barracks themselves.

If there is even a surplus, it can be sold or stockpiled for armaments.

Du Ruhui was greatly amazed by Luo Cheng's proposal.

"Captain Luo, I also have a proposal. After you cleaned the two rooms and three yayas, you used your township and township to help the three classes of officials, and the management was strict, and you did a very good job. Now the newly elected people in the Yamen are indeed good and bad, and they are not as good as your fellow villagers before. Therefore, I think it would be better to re-employ the people of your county barracks for part-time work. ”

Du Ruhui's consideration is also based on reality, the trapper he just promoted, only a little time, there is a problem. And Luo Cheng took over Sanya for a long time, and he personally checked the accounts, but there was no problem at all, this is the gap.

Besides, he had considered that there were some other advantages to having the county barracks serve as a third-class officer. First of all, the county barracks are more disciplined, they will not reach out everywhere to ask for part-time service, and secondly, the county barracks are on duty in turns, if they also serve as government officials, then the county barracks in Zhangqiu County do not have to be on duty, they have errands and a stable income, so they can be in charge for a long time.

Such a fixed contingent of county soldiers and government servants will be of great help to the security of Zhangqiu.

Another one is also exempted from often conscripting the people to take turns on duty, which affects the lives of the people and cultivates, and it can be counted in one fell swoop.

Let the county barracks come back to work part-time as a third-class officer, which is something Luo Cheng didn't expect.

It seems that Du Ruhui did have the idea of reconciliation this time.

That's a good thing.

Everyone does not hide and have something to say, just for a common purpose.

"You can let the ten teams of the county barracks rotate the station, and one hundred people in the county town can serve as the three ya's errands, and then recruit and transfer a hundred people from the township regiment to help the idle." Luo Cheng gave advice.

"I'll see it." Zhang Yichen did not object.

Then Du Ruhui took the initiative to propose the replacement of the two rooms and three classes of the Yamen, "Please ask Zhang Xianling and Luo Duwei to recommend suitable candidates." ”

With such great sincerity, Luo Chengdu was surprised.

He thought about it and refused to recommend candidates, after all, people have shown so much sincerity, he can't go too far, if he arranges these officials as his own, it will be too disrespectful to Du Ruhui, the county lieutenant.

"Let's ask Zhang County Ling and Du County Lieutenant to personally select and appoint them."

Zhang Yichen also said, "If there is an unsuitable candidate, County Lieutenant Du can be replaced with a suitable one." ”

"Then I'll put forward a few candidates, and you can take a look together. I think the county record can be served by Duan Yancheng, who is originally from Zouping, but has settled in our county for many years and is a big household in the county. His brother served in Taiyuan County, and he himself had some reputation and ability. ”

Du Ruhui proposed a candidate for the record.

The county clerk is a clerk's position, with miscellaneous duties and no rank, but it is very important in the yamen, and he is the first official under the county order, the county officer, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant.

In terms of ministry, this is the equivalent of the position of the director of the county office, and the responsibility of the chief secretary of the work is checked.

Duan Yanshi, this person Luo Cheng knows, a big family in this county, a family with thousands of acres of fertile land, and quite a lot of family resources, but this person wanted to pit Luo Cheng last time, but Luo Cheng knocked him a sum of money and food to help him.

But now Du Ruhui proposed to use him as a record, Luo Cheng thought about it but agreed.

It's not a big grudge with Duan Yanshi, since Du Ruhui recommended him, Luo Cheng has no reason to oppose it directly, so let's wait and see the after-effects.

Both agreed, so the candidate was overrun.

Du Ruhui also recommended the judicial assistant candidates of the legal room, "I recommend Luo Cunxiao and Feng Yi as judicial assistants, and Wang Ziming and Liang Shuyan as Sihu Zuo." ”

Originally, there were two rooms in the yamen, one room was one and two histories, and there was one more account history in the household.

And now Du Ruhui proposed to set up one more in each room, and he recommended two people each, both of whom were Luo Cheng's brothers, and then one of the local wealthy families.

For example, this Feng Yi is a big family in Gaoshan Township, Zhangqiu County, and he is also the captain of the township regiment in Gaoshan Township.

Since they recommended Luo Cunxiao as a judicial assistant, Luo Cheng naturally had no reason to object to him recommending Feng Yitong as a judicial assistant, so he agreed, and Zhang Yichen also agreed.

Si Huzuo's situation is similar, Liang Shuyan is a Lizheng in Xishan Township, also a local household, and he used to study in Guozijian, and was later expelled because he made some mistakes.

"I support the candidate of Du County Lieutenant."

Luo Cheng still voted in favor, followed by a few candidates for history and order, Du Ruhui recommended a few candidates, most of them were local scholars or strong backgrounds, and they had no stakes in Luo Cheng and Zhang Yichen, let alone any grievances, so naturally they all passed.

At the banquet, the three of them reorganized the county government team.

Recording Duan Yanshi, Justice Zoro Cunxiao, Feng Yi, Sihu Zuo Ziming, Liang Shuyan.

Zhou Dewei, the head of the soap class, Luo Siye, the head of the fast class, and Zhao Gui, the head of the Zhuang class.

"Come, raise a glass and drink together!"

The atmosphere was very harmonious, and Du Ruhui was also very happy, his face was ruddy, and he stood up and shouted with a wine glass.

"Drink together!"

Luo Cheng also smiled and got up to raise his glass, thinking that tonight was not in vain, and it was worth the trip.
