Early the next morning, the civil officials of the seventh rank and above, the military attachés of the sixth rank and above, and the well-known officials and gentry in the city gathered in front of the governor's yamen, and everyone gathered together.

Took over the official seal from the hands of Qian Bangxin, the former governor Ma Gan, the official seal of the Sichuan governor of the Ming Dynasty had already fallen into the hands of the Tartars, and he was forced to find a craftsman in the middle of the road to engrave the gold seal with a gold ingot of fifty taels.

After carefully checking the golden seal, a smile appeared on the corner of Yang Lin's mouth, and he sat down to accept everyone's congratulations.

Yang Lin sighed a lot, thinking of the predecessor he saw, the former governor, promoted his mentor Chen Shiqi to be martyred in Chongqing, the strong Long Wenguang martyrdom, and Ma Gan, who was martyred in the big festival although he was at a loss in the small section, but he was still martyred in the big festival, I hope that he is worthy of the joint recommendation of the local squires and can take on the heavy responsibility of serving the country.

Everyone also sighed, some of them were even more gloomy and tearful, the CD plain reached 20,000 square meters, because there is a Dujiangyan water conservancy project can be said to be free of drought and flood, the people live comfortably, since the Qin and Han dynasties are all the country of abundance.

In recent years, there have been many wars, local thieves have been rampant, people have been displaced, and even in the CD Plain, the most prosperous place of the agricultural society and handicraft society (since ancient times, there is a saying that Yang Yi Yi Yi is the best, and the reason is really because of the work of Dujiangyan, because of the power of the CD Plain), there are also large areas of abandoned fields.

Everyone expressed their opinions and discussed the key points of the recovery and reconstruction of Sichuan Province, which is the characteristic of Yang Lin's politics, that is, let everyone finish talking first, and let everyone speak freely without playing a board in the middle.

Since the Song and Ming dynasties, their thinking has become increasingly rigid, and everyone seems to be quite conservative in their way of government.

With the implementation of the New Deal in recent years, everyone has gradually seen the benefits and slowly has more methods.

One by one, it seems unfathomable and profound, and it is nothing more than these few articles, and the emphasis is only on the details, or the temporary shortcomings in the implementation of the new policy.

In order to save time and avoid some people saying that they are not allowed to speak, Yang Lin first divided the staff into more than ten groups and asked everyone to speak in groups, or this is probably the advantage of speaking in groups, that is, saving time, and everyone can say two sentences.

Past life experience taught me that the most skillful speaking technique is not to say what you say, but to listen carefully, and finally say a few words or two to make others feel that they are all in your heart, so that you can resonate.

In the morning, Qian Bangxin, Yan Ximing, Jiang Dingzhen, Zhao Sixuan and others were the conveners to conduct group discussions, and in order to avoid affecting everyone's enthusiasm for discussion, Yang Lin flashed out of the governor's yamen and brought three or five entourages to make a secret visit.

Walking on the avenue, thinking of Qian Bangqi's sanctimonious face in the past, Yang Lin felt funny in his heart, didn't you, a sour Confucian, say that I was a bit arbitrary in doing things? Today also allows you to savor the pain of organizing discussions, and see if others will say that you can't listen to opinions.

Although it was much worse than when it was flailed into the CD, the streets were full of people, and the citizens on both sides of the road saw that the people passing by were not as indifferent as in the past, and shouted loudly, and it seemed that they wanted to make a business.

Yang Lin bent down into a silk shop, looked at the rows of shops, and only a dozen silk horses were in the corner.

Yang Lin smiled: "Shopkeeper, take a good silk for me to see?" ”

A man in his forties who was thin and had old-fashioned eyes shook his head and said: "Your Excellency has good eyesight, this, this silk is the inventory woven during the Chongzhen period, and it was taken by a general yesterday and has already paid a deposit." ”

Thinking of the generous silver reward given to everyone last month, Yang Lin didn't care, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, you, your store looks very big, but how can you put these few silk horses?"

Forget it, I'll check out the other stores. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Your guest is young, why is it unreasonable?" This store is one of the few shops on this street, but even if you go to other stores, you can see even less? ”

Yang Lin pretended to be shocked and said: "The shopkeeper, our Shu brocade is famous all over the world, and the court magnates also had many orders in the past, but now the war is in chaos, is it the one who smuggles out this good Shu brocade to earn a high price?" ”

The shopkeeper sighed for a long time, complaining bitterly, in recent years, the war was chaotic, the goods traffic was cut off, after the recovery of the CD by the volunteers last year, although the silk supply in Shunqing City, but other places have been fighting for many years, everyone has no food to eat, how to raise silkworms and make silk.

Now rice is 5 yuan per bucket of silver, which is seven or eight times longer than in the Wanli years, and five times longer than in the past famine years.

Now everyone is struggling to support it, mainly to maintain the business handed down from their ancestors, and besides, they are in their forties, and they can't do anything else except sell silk.

Yang Lin nodded, the richest silk merchant in CD City in the past was still like this, let alone others?

After that, Yang Lin visited the rice shop, visited the blacksmith shop, and also went around the teahouse by the way, and went to the street to visit the homeless people.

Gradually, Yang Lin returned to the yamen, and heard from a distance that everyone was still discussing enthusiastically, asking about the results of the discussion, Qian Bangxin, Yan Ximing and others complained bitterly, thinking that everyone was actively speaking, and he couldn't bear to interrupt, hoping for a half-day grace.

Yang Lin smiled, looked at Qian Bangqi and said: "According to the envoy, in the past, you said that I was a man of my word and didn't listen to everyone, but you also saw it, sometimes if you don't restrain it, what will it look like?" ”

Qian Bangqi smiled awkwardly and bluntly said that it was just angry talk.

I heard that some groups discussed until late at night, and one by one they formed an outline of more than 500 words.

On the second day, a concluding speech will be made, and each group will select a speech that is articulate and can represent everyone's opinions, and the group will speak for no more than one stick of incense.

It can be seen that the crowd is very enthusiastic and admires this form, but after the deputies spoke, the others raised their hands, thinking that they did not express their views.

Yang Lin frowned, and immediately said with a smile Let each group finish speaking first, if everyone hasn't said it yet, it's not too late to talk about it, so we will stop.

The content of the speech is nothing more than cracking down on criminals, ensuring social stability, relieving the victims, settling the displaced people, continuing to collect business and customs taxes, and so on.

Just when everyone thought that Yang Lin would announce the key points of governance, they saw Yang Wei walking in with four or five men with surprised expressions, and Yang Lin smiled and said: "Gentlemen, while you are discussing, I have also visited some neighborhoods.

Everyone, don't worry, let's listen to what these ordinary people have to say?

Folks, don't be afraid, what did you say to me yesterday, and repeat it to all of you today, okay?

Don't be afraid, there's nothing wrong with saying anything, and those who say it are not guilty. ”

At first, these citizens were quite alarmed, but now when they heard that they had met the governor yesterday, they were quite surprised, and they repeatedly kowtowed and confessed, and said what they wanted to say in public.

It can be seen that these people worship Yang Lin very much, and they are very in awe in their words, but because they have encountered many misfortunes, they are not unhappy.

Yang Lin listened carefully, and sighed for a long time: "It has been more than seven or eight months since the Volunteers recovered CD, and the goods have not been fully circulated, and there are still so many beggars on the market, what about Yang Lin's crime?"

Told me that I was busy going north to fight the Tartars and didn't have much energy to focus on people's livelihood, plus I thought that CD was a provincial city after all, and that things would be slow and round, which now seems really wrong.

But this also tells everyone that in order to eradicate those underworld forces and protect the rights and interests of these ordinary people, it is not okay to be vigorous and resolute, and it is not okay to take resolute measures. ”

When everyone heard this, they knew that Yang Lin would make a decision, and everyone stood up and gave up their hands, saying that they would obey their orders.

And the key points of governance, as written in the slogan of the Volunteers entering the city, are mainly as follows:

1. Rebuild the governor's yamen and rebuild the yamen of the three divisions, in addition to acting as the governor of Sichuan, that is, to ask Zhao Ronggui to serve as the commander of the Sichuan capital, Yang Zhan as the commander of the Sichuan capital, Zhao Sixuan to participate in the politics of Sichuan, and Qian Bangqi to be the envoy of Sichuan.

2. In the past, in addition to the establishment of the chief of affairs, the command department of the capital, and the envoys, most of the other staff members were hired by the chief to take care of them, a bit like the West where local governors formed a small cabinet, but the people in the small cabinet did not have official names, and mainly assisted the chief in handling specific affairs.

As a traverser, of course, I know that the government yamen has developed to such a scale, and it is difficult to manage it through the line line responsibility system, and it is necessary to establish a line function responsibility system, that is, to establish corresponding functional departments.

When he was still the magistrate of the county, Yang Lin expanded the responsibilities of the three classes and six rooms, and each class and room were treated according to the non-influent officials (everyone should not look down on the non-influent officials, in ancient times, the county lord Bo was the prefect of the county, which is equivalent to the current deputy county magistrate, and it is only the ninth grade. ）

After serving as the local prefect, Yang Lin carried it forward and changed the various houses of the government into bureaus, and his treatment was equivalent to that of the eighth grade county and the ninth grade.

Now acting governor of Sichuan, Yang Lin went one step further and changed the offices of the provincial yamen into departments (halls), appointed officials respectively, and treated them according to the outsiders.

Zhao Sixuan was appointed as the Director of the Department of Civil Affairs (concurrently, in charge of the same as Hufang), Yan Ximing as the Director of the Finance Department, Zhou Zhengwei as the Director of the Experience Department (Office Management), Gong Wanjing as the Secretary for Etiquette, Fan Mingshan as the Director of the Public Works Department, Yin Chengzhu as the Director of the Military Administration, Chen Huaixi as the Director of the Transportation Department, Du He Gui as the Director of the Police Department, and Xu Kongtu as the Director of the Education Department, etc., to form their own small cabinet.

3. In consideration of the market and population situation, the counties under the jurisdiction of the general order should establish township offices and establish various chambers in the cities attached to Guo (in ancient times, the inner city was the fang, and the surrounding areas outside the city were the fang).

In the past, the CD included two county orders, the CD order and the Huayang order, but now it has been changed to the CD order, which is filled by Liu Xianfa, the governor of Pengzhou, and eight squares and 12 compartments are established in the CD to deal with general affairs respectively.

4. Implement population registration, with each township and each box registering the population, distributing household registration books free of charge, and issuing identity cards to adult men free of charge.

5. To resettle the displaced people and carry out the cultivation of the village, all the displaced people can register with the local officials to arrange for the resettlement of the people, and for those who have not registered or are unable to carry out the settlement, the government will make unified arrangements for the compulsory resettlement of the people.

6. Distribute military rations to solve food shortages. Grain is transported by troops from northern Sichuan or other places. For all the displaced people who are resettled, the government can lend each person 3 buckets of rice (in ancient times, the seeds were planted, and they could be harvested in three months, so that only 3 buckets were needed), and 4 buckets were returned after one year.

The people in the CD city, who are registered in the household register, can buy 2 buckets of grain from the government at the price of 1 bucket and 2 yuan of silver per mouth.

6. Taking into account the characteristics of rampant bandits and rampant bullies in the localities, a battalion of soldiers and horses was dispatched to each of the 28 counties and counties of the CD to exterminate the bandits and punish the bullies within a limited time.

7. Among the bandits and bullies, those who still have a conscience may surrender to the government within a time limit in order to expand the punishment, and those who exceed the time limit shall be subject to labor reform, such as the bandits, murderers, robbers, and murderers, and those who injure others, those who steal and abduct, those who bully the market, and those who are ruffians and scoundrels.

8. All convicts are to be taken to northern and southern Sichuan by the government to be taken under the care of re-education through labor.

………

If it is said that a small cabinet is established to help the chief officials govern one side

The establishment of township offices, the direct collection of taxes by the government, the registration of the population, the resettlement of displaced people, and so on

These initiatives have been expected for a long time, but others feel completely different.

Even if you lend food to displaced people, you can understand it.

However, according to the number of registered people in the city's household register, relief food is distributed according to 2 yuan and a bucket of silver per mouth, and everyone feels that they do not understand very well.

As for sending troops to the divisions to clean up, and go all out to crack down on bandits, bullies, and ruffians, these measures

Everyone gasped, since ancient times, bandits have never been wiped out, and there are even more ruffians who have been abducted and abducted, and everyone can't help but gasp when they see that the government is ready to use these people.

But Yang Lin appeared full of confidence and vowed to solve these problems.
