Chapter 216: The county magistrate's private interview with Weifu
The magistrate of Zaozhuang County finally sent his family to Liuqiu Island, leaving only two small servants and a few servants in the newly established Zaozhuang County, so that they could devote themselves to their work...... For the sake of your own future. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the so-called county seat is a few simple houses, although it looks shabby, but the momentum of development is very strong...... New houses are being built every day.
The magistrate of Zaozhuang County knows that the development of this place is very promising, because the tax revenue here has been growing rapidly, and he knows the specific figures.
When all kinds of materials needed by Liuqiu Island are purchased here, they are not bought together, nor are they forcibly collected, but they are truthfully paid with various taxes on the sale and purchase.
Merchants who have come here to set up various workshops have also paid.
Even Zhang Guoan's own property has to pay local taxes, which one of the others can not pay??
He lamented that he was the number one in the local administration, but he was not able to directly manage the money-seeking bank, so he could only obediently wait for what administrative money he would get from them...... Fortunately, the withdrawal was timely and sufficient.
Sometimes, like other officials in the county office, he went to the money shop to queue up to receive his salary, and he often felt sorry for the long queue...... Since then, everyone in the county government has known that they are begging for money and who they are doing things for.
This has to be said to be a good way to control officials...... I heard that even the soldiers in the army had to receive money from the money shop, and it had nothing to do with the commander of the army.
The importance of the Flowing Money Store is that it was the first formal building to be completed here, which shows how much it is valued.
It's a pity that the magistrate of Zaozhuang can't be in charge of the taxes here, and he can't participate in the judicial management here, so he doesn't seem to have any power on the surface...... But there are also quite a few things about public administration.
Urban construction planning and public health also have to manage the examination and approval of some applications, and also supervise whether the workshops in various places have implemented the various regulations of the demand...... All in all, everything is very clear and pragmatic.
Therefore, when he reported to Captain Bao Wei on various tasks, he could tell that he himself had some management talents, and he slowly understood and mastered the working methods required by the flow of requirements, so it was just an oral report, and the data and content were very detailed.
Captain Bowie was very pleased with his work, and he paid special attention to the way the workshop owners solved their labor...... "Are you sure they've solved the labor shortage themselves?" he asked. ”
The magistrate of Zaozhuang nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I have investigated and they have hired enough people......
"What a good people...... Honestly pay all kinds of taxes and goods to us, but when there are difficulties, they solve them by themselves and do not add any trouble to us! ”
Captain Bao Wei's exclamation made the magistrate of Zaozhuang speechless for a while.
He understands the taxpayer concept that Liuqiu is talking about...... It is to understand that after people pay taxes, they must serve others, and there is the concept of taxpayers first, and then Zaozhuang County.
Well, this notion has subverted his long-standing notion of "herder...... However, he will not believe that there is a government first and then the people, and at this time the Tatar bandit group is still in the development stage, and they have not yet had time to systematize their own fallacies and heresies, such as they claim that their Tatar bandit group is the choice of the people, otherwise how could they win?!
Without them, the people would not be able to live, because they have the duties of Heaven and all that nonsense.
So, it's easy for someone like the magistrate of Zaozhuang to turn to ...... But there is one core that cannot be changed: I have come thousands of miles to be an official, just for food and clothing.
Although the amount of money that flows for money is very high, and it can allow a large family to live a decent life in line with their status, they cannot make a fortune for a while...... This is a real violation of his ways.
There is no official position to scoop up the head, which is no different from an idle position!
The magistrate of Zaozhuang County studied the management methods and rules and regulations of Liuqiu, and he found that the so-called "audit method" of Liuqiu was not the same as the planning method of the Great Song Dynasty and the manager method of the Tatar bandit group, the difference was that they were expressed in various forms, and the detailed rules on the project were also very detailed.
After he read it carefully, he remembered a sentence, don't say it unexpectedly...... Of course, he knew the severity of the punishment of Liuqiu, so he wouldn't violate those rules and seek death in vain...... Besides, it seems difficult to make cross-departmental corruption public.
However, if he wanted to get his hands on the money, there must be a way, and he hit the idea on the workshop owners.
The workshop owners solved the problem of labor on their own, recruiting many displaced people, men, women, and children, from the northern regions for a small amount of money...... But they do not seem to be paid according to the rules of the stream, and they give very little money to these laborers, and even some of the workshop owners do not give money but only for the goods of subsistence.
The magistrate of Zaozhuang County secretly inspected the small coal kilns and brick kilns in the mountainous areas with two small servants, and asked them to truthfully report the number of laborers.
When the workshop owners saw that the county magistrate was able to come to the mountainous area for a private visit, everyone was shocked, what could have led to such a situation? !
To be honest, they still have a lot of respect for the officials and adults who are begging for it...... This respect comes from the fact that so far, they have never encountered a request for a card in terms of application, sale, etc., and even if there is a dispute, they can basically get a more reasonable judgment.
Of course, the merchants or ordinary people of this time and space are reluctant to fight lawsuits and do not like to deal with officials...... What makes them happy is that the officials don't seem to be very willing to deal with them, and they come to the officials to do things when they have something, and their attitude is not good or bad, and they do things normally; When there was nothing to do, I didn't see the officials jumping down to find trouble among them.
In short, they found that the officials seemed to be the least likely to deal with the common people, which they liked and respected.
However, the workshop owners in the wilderness and mountainous areas heard that the magistrate of Zaozhuang had brought two of his men to inspect their workshops, and they did not wear the uniforms of the Liuqiu officials...... Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, did design official uniforms for administrative officials, in fact, as a disguised welfare, which allowed officials of all sizes to save money on clothing.
Their official uniforms are one set for spring, summer, autumn and winter, the fabrics are different, but the style is the same, with a small collar top, two-legged trousers, whale leather shoes or leather sandals, four pockets on the top and two pants on the bottom.
It could have been tighter, but it was a little looser considering the characteristics of the clothing of this plane.
In the Liuqiu area, the official uniforms are not of any rank, and they are also inconspicuous, far less beautiful than military uniforms and police uniforms...... Maybe that's a bad taste for some people.
Therefore, as long as many officials leave the official palace, they try not to wear official uniforms, which is really not good-looking.
Most of those workshop owners are not as desperate as Lao Gui, they usually do not supervise the work in those workshops, but when they heard that someone reported a private visit from the county magistrate, they immediately ran to the workshop in fear.
They are still afraid of officials. (To be continued.) )
