Just like political donations, there was democracy in ancient times, thousands of miles away as officials, in addition to two long-term followers, everything needs to be written with the scribes and officials around them, to collect the opinions of the gentry, to be supervised by the villagers, this is not democracy What is democracy?

In the Han Dynasty, if that official was as domineering as the Barbarian Qing Emperor, he would probably be tied up by the villagers and sent to the capital during the Hongwu period. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After figuring out the ancient governance structure, and then comparing it with the modern governance structure, the East secretly scolded the wheel for harming people, and on the other hand, was pleasantly surprised to find the road to democracy, freedom and civilization, that is, in the name of the official gentry and the village elders, the talented (squire) and virtuous (village elders) were selected to form a parliament.

Although Qian Bangqi felt that it was inappropriate, but now that the army is in chaos, Yang Xuan is in the name of maintaining local stability and strengthening the supervision of officials, so it is not easy to oppose it.

In addition to the Squire Conference (abbreviated as the old gentleman), Qian Bangqi obviously found other changes, such as the separation of tax collection from households, and the registration of households, land, shops, etc., and some civil work for disaster relief, which has become a department such as the State Administration for Industry and Commerce or the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Each county has set up a gold house to be responsible for the collection of local commercial endowments, field endowments, ding endowments and customs endowments.

The counties basically merged the accounts and warehouses to form the degree branch office, which not only managed the money, but also included the grain and weapons reserves of the counties, and the treasury was only responsible for the specific affairs.

The post houses in various places are contracted out, and they are under the jurisdiction of post envoys or scribes, so as to realize their own profits and losses.

Counties generally include officials such as magistrates, county magistrates, chief clerks, and wardens, among which the chief clerk is mostly the county magistrate or staff member, who is responsible for the management of yamen personnel and documents.

The county is generally in charge of the two key departments of the gold house and the degree support house.

Most of the officials in charge of anti-theft are retired members of the Loyal and Righteous Army or generals of the Righteous Army.

Qian Bangxin gasped, this is an adaptation of the imperial court system, whether it is good or bad, no wonder the former prefect Shi Jinchen opposed it.

With mixed feelings, everyone thought together, although the two of them admired the effectiveness of the new policy, they were worried that changing the ancestral system might cause criticism in the future.

At noon, Yang Xuan rushed back, and as soon as he sat down, Qian Bangqi asked: "My lord, yesterday you said that you would send troops to attack Hezhou, may I ask if you have already sent troops, if there are any problems, let's find a way to solve them together." ”

Taking the teacup from the maid's hand, Yang Xuan drank half a bowl violently, and then put it down and said: "Qian Yushi, Qian Jianjun, I am a different person from others, since I accepted it yesterday, how can I delay?"

The military order has been issued, the navy will be able to reach Diaoyu City tomorrow, the cavalry battalion will be about three days later, and the 3rd battalion of the infantry army is now stationed in Dazu County, which is very troublesome to mobilize, but I expect that the division will arrive at the front line in five days to cooperate with the navy to attack the ancient city of Diaoyu.

I have given full authority to the magistrate of Wusheng County, and Chen Huaixi of the water military camp commanded this battle. ”

Qian Bangqian was born as a civil official, although he was appointed as the supervisor of the army, but it was beyond his ability to lead the troops to fight, and now he heard Yang Xuan so refreshing, and he arranged it quietly, except for suggesting that he let his two guards accompany the army, there was nothing else.

Yang Xuan looked at the things on everyone's desk and said with a smile: "Although the two adults are not from the army, they are worthy of the official class and have extraordinary knowledge."

The two adults are worried about the use of the military, and in the past few months, the official has often been worried about this.

The Loyal and Righteous Army alone has 5,000 mouths, and if you add ordnance, logistics, and local government yamen, so much more. “

The two looked at each other and smiled, and hurriedly gave up their hands, indicating that they didn't dare to be.

Yang Xuan arched his hand and said with a serious face: "Two adults, in the past two days, the torture room has found that there is actually a profiteer hiding in my Shunqing Mansion, who should collude with the officials of the imperial court, ostensibly engaged in public salt trading, but in fact engaged in private salt trading.

What's even more odious is that when the two tributaries of Ma Ke and **** Li invaded my Shunqing Mansion, the profiteer actually funded Ma Ke 5,000 taels of silver and **** Li 5,000 taels of silver.

Qian Jian Jun is the imperial history of the emperor, and I hope that Qian Yushi can handle it impartially. ”

The expressions of everyone in the entire hall were very different, and Shunqing was shocked with Shi Jinchen, who quickly stood up and asked, "Yang Xuan Yang Zixiu, who are you talking about?" Who colluded with whom, this, this must be made clear. ”

And although Qian Bangqi felt that the problem was serious, punishing the evil and promoting the good was originally his consistent adherence to the proposition, and the more he argued about many things, the clearer he became, and he must not offend Yang Xuan because of this.

Yang Xuan has already sent troops to attack Hezhou, if it is not in line with Yang Xuan's intentions, who knows what will happen?

After thinking about it, Qian Bangxin accepted the case head-on, and Yang Xuan arranged for Pan Mengke from the torture room to assist in handling the case on the grounds that he was busy with official business.

As for Fan Wenguang, he was asked to go to Guang'an Prefecture to help Li Shikai, the governor of Guang'an, clear the land, check the household registration, and implement the new policy.

At the same time, the wealthy businessman Gou Weiyi's house was raided, Gou Weiyi and his main cronies were locked up in different prisons, and more than ten shops of the Gou family were affixed with official seals.

Qian Bangxin tried several shopkeepers who helped Gou Weiyi take care of his business overnight, and slowly figured out the context of the matter.

Gou Weiyi was born in a wealthy businessman, and his family ran a silk business, and Shunqing Mansion was known as the Silk City in the previous life, which shows the development of the silk industry.

Gou Weiyi was raised in high school ten years ago, and when she went to Beijing to take the exam, she met Shi Jinchen, a governor of Bazhou, and the two became friends.

Six years ago, Shi Jinchen was promoted to the governor of Shunqing Mansion because of his outstanding political achievements, and the Gou family's silk business suffered an accident.

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the Gou family had more than ten cars of Shu brocade ready to be transported to Guangdong to sell to the Franco machine merchants, but at that time Zhang Xianzhong led the army into Sichuan, and the Gou family's more than ten cars of high-grade Shu brocade were looted by the Liukou.

In ancient times, Shu brocade is one of the four famous brocades in China, and it is also the oldest brocade in China, whether it is the cloud brocade of Nanjing, the Song brocade of Suzhou, or the Zhuang brocade of Guangxi are all developed on the basis of the brocade of Shu, it can be said that the best brocade of Shu is soft gold in ancient times, and its value is very expensive.

In order to revitalize the family business, Gou Weiyi found Shi Jinchen, who was the prefect of Shunqing at the time, hoping to get some salt to sell official salt on the surface and smuggle the salt industry privately.

At this time, although Shi Jinchen's official position was getting bigger and bigger, it was difficult to support his greed by relying on the prefect's annual salary and the filial piety of the officials below, and the two hit it off, Shi Jinchen helped get 200 official salt (300 catties per introduction), and Gou Weiyi has been engaged in illegal salt sales since then.

Just like many red-top businessmen now, when bureaucratic businessmen like Gou Weiyi are in vogue, the harm is great and the legacy is profound, which can be said to be exactly the same in ancient and modern times.

Whether it is Zigong County in southern Sichuan or Tongchuan Prefecture, there are many salt wells, and the government distributes salt according to the number of households on the fish scale book, and the actual number of people in various places is often more than double that of the government fish scale book, plus the profit of smuggling salt is huge

In the feudal dynasties, the huge profits from salt smuggling often attracted many people to take risks and engage in salt smuggling activities.
