Chapter 672: Governor
In the backyard of the Jinguo Mansion, as soon as Li Zhi walked into the hall, he saw Cui He clasping his hands tightly in front of his chest. She looked at the report on the "Tianjin Daily" www.biquge.info looked very nervous.
Li Zhi swept the newspaper in front of Cui He and found that Cui He was reading "The new head of the discipline inspection team killed all directions, and beat the Tianjin general soldier with a cane".
Cui Changwu is not a hit, and he is a blockbuster. In just 15 days after taking office, he has already handled all the cases that the former chief executive had accumulated for several years and did not dare to handle. Not only did he arrest Li Xing who was derelict in his duties at Cuiyulou, but he also dealt with a regimental commander who abused soldiers, five court presidents who engaged in favoritism, three tax bureau chiefs who allowed businessmen to evade taxes, and the principal of Fanjiazhuang Middle School, who illegally recruited a relative's child.
The rest of the little people, too many to count.
Even Jing Yishan, who was in charge of water conservancy, was dealt with. Najing Yishan had a dispute with the local people in Jiaozhou, Shandong Province over the demolition of the reservoir, and in a fit of rage, he withdrew all the water conservancy project plans in Jiaozhou. As a result, this matter was caught by Cui Changwu, and Jing Yishan was demoted to a second-order official position, and Jing Yishan was punished for one year.
Cui Changwu acted resolutely, even Li Xing dared to punish him, and other minor officials who were punished did not dare to say a word when they were punished. In just fifteen days, the officialdom of Tianjin and Shandong suddenly shook up, and everyone talked about Cui's color change.
Lee Sik was very satisfied with Choi Chang-moo's performance.
However, Cui He was very worried about his younger brother.
Since ancient times, officials who are in charge of discipline inspection have been called cool officials, and it has always been a matter of offending people. Of course, when you arrest people and take people in office, you are majestic, and everyone is afraid of you. But this kind of work that is the enemy of the officials is actually very risky. Once you lose your position, or give someone the slightest leverage, you are likely to be attacked by the officials en masse.
For example, the four cool officials in the Wu Zetian period, Lai Junchen, Zhou Xing and the like, what happened in the end? Not one by one.
As for the Ming Dynasty's officials, they all depend on people cooking. These officials often defect to their parties, attacking only one or two people a year, and they often attack people from rival parties. If it is counterattacked by the other party, it is often fully protected by its own party bosses. In the Ming Dynasty, the speech officials were completely reduced to tools for party struggle, and no one fought for fairness and justice.
Choi Chang-moo's previous chief also knew that Mingzhe was protecting himself, and he had a large amount of evidence of disciplinary violations, but he did not deal with it. There are almost no people like Cui Changwu who are completely for fairness and justice, and for the sake of clean government and morality.
Choi Chang-moo has nothing but Lee Sik's support. Although he is Li Huan's uncle, if this identity really works, he must wait until Li Huan comes to power, or at least until Li Huan can influence Li Zhi's decision-making as an adult.
The current Cui Changwu is actually very fragile, and Cui He is afraid that his younger brother will be like Wu Zetian's cool official, and finally end up with a tragic end.
Li Zhi walked up to Cui He, touched Cui He's head, and said with a smile: "Worried about your brother?" ”
Cui He lowered his head and did not speak.
Cui He was a little angry that Li Zhi let his younger brother do this, and began to ignore Li Zhi.
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Cui He is not afraid, no matter how many people Cui Changwu offends, I will always support Cui Changwu until Cui Changwu completes his three-year term as governor!" ”
Cui He's mouth was deflated, and he said: "Even if he becomes the governor, the people he offends will still hate him." What if someone frames him and traps him in the future? ”
Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Cui Changwu came out to do discipline inspection work, and he made meritorious contributions. Even if he makes some mistakes in the future, I won't deal with him. In this way, even if someone sets him up, he will not be easily brought down. ”
Cui He pursed his mouth and lowered his head, silent.
Li Zhi said with a smile: "Cui He, you have to rest assured, being a husband is definitely not one of those leaders who will abandon them after taking advantage of their subordinates." I will always pay close attention to the work of discipline inspection. Cui Changwu is just setting an example for the chief of discipline inspection, not only will he not be counted backwards by the counterattack, but he will also rise step by step because of this. His example has been erected, and the successor chief will dare to stand up and offend people! ”
"If no one dares to do this, your husband and I will do it myself."
"I will always attach importance to the discipline inspection work in place to ensure that the officialdom under my rule is efficient and fair and benefits the people."
Cui He's face softened a little when he heard Li Zhi say this.
"If my brother Cui Changwu is killed, I won't care about you anymore!"
Li Zhi pinched Cui He's face and said, "Don't worry, little lady!" ”

On November 20, Li Zhi sat on the high platform of the main hall of the Jinguo Mansion, looking at the subordinates standing below.
This main hall is a large hall with high regulations, and it is a place for ceremonial activities, and it is generally rarely used. Today, Li Zhi will appoint high-ranking officials such as governors and chief soldiers here, so this main hall is used.
In front of the high platform, the civil and military officials under Li Zhi's command were lined up on the left and right, all wearing Liang crowns and crown uniforms -- Li Zhi listed his subordinates in his meritorious service after all wars, so Li Zhi's subordinates all had military attache officials, from the governor of the second rank to the general flag and small flag of the seventh rank.
Of course, at this time, the officials who saluted in the main hall were all officials of the fourth rank and above, so they all wore bright red crown clothes.
Li Zhi looked at the subordinates who were standing solemnly and felt that the subordinates were a little nervous. After all, Li Zhi wants to announce a large number of official promotions at one time, and many people can become high-ranking officials such as governors, chief soldiers, and prefects. If you miss it this time, it will be difficult to get promoted in the future.
Li Zhi smiled, took out a list, and read: "Li Xing, the chief soldier of Tianjin, has been promoted to the governor of Tianjin, and is in charge of the administration of Tianjin. ”
Li Xing straightened his clothes, went up and said, "The subordinates are ordered!" ”
Li Zhi Zhengse said: "Li Xing, you have been a little slacking off recently, and you have spent too much time playing. I think the punishment of the head of the discipline inspection team for you is very appropriate! I advise you to be vigorous and be the chief official of the people in Tianjin. ”
Li Xing was still a little afraid of Li Zhi, and he lowered his head after being taught a lesson by Li Zhi, and said honestly: "What Guogong said is that his subordinates will handle official affairs well and manage Tianjin well. ”
Li Zhi nodded, and said: "Zheng Hui, the general of the sea, has been promoted to the governor of Shandong!" ”
Everyone glanced at each other, and some eyes were red. Unexpectedly, the most powerful position of Shandong governor finally fell into Zheng Hui's pocket. This governor of Shandong manages more than 10 million people, and a sentence can rise and fall a state and county.
The official positions that Li Zhi got this time were all "officials", and the imperial court did not issue money, so Li Zhi needed to issue silver. The affairs of the governor of Shandong were complicated, and Li Zhi's Yu Lu was one level higher than the other four governors. Even if the governor of Shandong completely enforces the law impartially and does not occupy a penny of the official family, Li Zhifa's salary alone is 230 taels, which is enough to support hundreds of people.
As such a high-ranking official, not to mention enjoying incomparable honor, he can also marry three wives and four concubines and support dozens of children with that share of money.
However, with Zheng Hui's political achievements in managing Taiwan, he can be said to be the governor of Shandong, and everyone is convinced.
When Zheng Hui heard this, his face flushed with excitement. He trotted to the center of the main hall, shook his shirt and knelt down, and shouted loudly: "The subordinates thank the prince for his kindness, and there is no way to repay him if he is not smeared with liver and brains!" ”
