Chapter 179: Rectifying Order: Zoning Management

After getting Dai Yan's explanation, Le Yi and Tang Ying, two people who were originally born as rangers, no longer have the slightest mercy for these Taoqiu rangers. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info now both of them think from the bottom of their hearts that these rangers are all criminals, and all of them are scum who need to be reformed!

And they have not been merciless in fighting these rangers since then!

However, after the entire Taoqiu Ranger force was completely eliminated, it didn't take long for Taoqiu City to gain stable order, and it was quickly guided by another kind of chaos.

This is the large and small crime cases encountered by the ordinary people in Taoqiu City.

While the rangers were still around, the chaos in Taoqiu City was mainly caused by blackmail, murder, robbery, etc. at the hands of the rangers. However, after the elimination of the Ranger forces, especially after everyone witnessed the attitude of the lord towards crimes such as murder and wounding, everyone did not dare to blatantly violate it. However, other cases, such as theft and fraud, gradually increased, and the whole Taoqiu began to fall into another kind of chaos.

And the occurrence of so many cases is by no means without reason. Taoqiu is the commercial center of the world, and due to the high frequency of merchants, at least half of the people in the city are foreigners. There will be honest law-abiding businessmen among these outsiders, but there will be no shortage of bullies!

This situation is actually not strange at all, think about the situation in Dongguan, the world factory of the Celestial Empire in the future, and then compare the situation of Taoqiu, you will feel that it should be normal for Taoqiu's criminal case to be so high!

However, since this city belongs to Dai Yan, and he wants to bring order to this city, of course he can't tolerate Tao Qiu continuing to be so chaotic after eliminating the rangers!

It is impossible to manage a city as large and complex as Taoqiu without dividing it! After referring to the zoning management of major cities in later generations, Dai Yan divided the entire Taoqiu into five districts for management.

Dongcheng District, the area that covers the richest merchants in the entire Taoqiu, the essence of Taoqiu, this area is controlled by Dai Yan himself, and the Yi government is directly under the jurisdiction.

Xicheng District, Taoqiu handicraft area, in which craftsmen gather, although not very rich, but in Dai Yan's eyes is a very vibrant place, Dai Yan handed over this area to the giant Tian Jiu, appointed him as the Xicheng Order, and let him appoint his subordinate disciples to manage.

Nancheng District, the original dark place of Taoqiu, is the dirtiest place, and it is also the place that can produce the soil of crime the most. If this place is not treated well, it is very likely to become a tumor in Taoqiu! Although Dai Yan has cleaned all the rangers in Taoqiu, but he can't relax at all about this place, Dai Yan ordered his first fierce general Tang Ying to be the commander of the southern city, in addition to giving Tang Yan the right to recruit officials, Dai Yan also drew elites from the rangers who originally followed him to Qi to assist Tang Yan in management.

Beicheng District, the trading center of the whole city, is the largest trading area, where people come and go every day is extremely frequent, and it needs a serious and meticulous person to deal with it. Dai Yan handed over this place to his chief adviser, Tian Buli, and appointed Tian Buli as the commander of the Northern City, and also gave him the power to recruit officials on his own.

The Shili Wharf area outside Taoqiu City, which is closely connected to Beicheng District, is the most important area for Taoqiu and external traffic, and the loading and unloading on the wharf also makes it the busiest area in the whole Taoqiu. This place is the most chaotic place in the southern city of Taoqiu, what is needed here is a warrior like Tang Ying as a deterrent, and at the same time it needs careful people to manage, so Dai Yan ordered the archer Xiao Xiang to be the river commander, responsible for managing the entire ten-mile wharf in Taoqiu. This wharf area was also named the riverside area by Dai Yan.

The whole city of Taoqiu is a commercial city, but today's world is an agricultural society after all, and Taoqiu is not without agriculture at all, on the contrary, Taoqiu's agriculture has developed extremely prosperous with the foundation left by the previous Cao State! The food supply of the entire Taoqiu City comes from the surrounding villages of Taoqiu!

However, if you compare the agricultural output value with the commercial output value of Taoqiu, it is really pitifully low, almost negligible.

However, these agricultural areas can't really be left unattended, after all, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and those rural wild people distributed around Taoqiu are also Dai Yan's lords! So Dai Yan ordered Chen Xiang, the chief disciple of the peasant family, to be Taoqiu Nongcheng, responsible for managing the vast countryside and agricultural production around Taoqiu.

As for Xu Xing, the leader of the peasant school, Dai Yan appointed him as the doctor of Fengyi and managed the whole of Fengyi for him. After all, Fengyi is Dai Yan's first place to start, although it is not as important as Taoqiu now, but it can't just give up!

The talents in his hands have been arranged to important positions, and Dai Yan has not forgotten the talent Le Yi who Zhao Xue married over. Dai Yan attaches great importance to the security of the entire Taoqiu, so he appointed Le Yi as the captain of Taoqiu, responsible for managing the security and criminal investigation of the entire Taoqiu.

The cavalry that Zhao Xue married over, Dai Yan attaches the most importance to it! He also had no intention of depriving this cavalry from Zhao Xue, but transformed all of them into mounted police, and the mounted police continued to patrol Taoqiu City, with the cavalry's rapid support ability, as long as there was a criminal case, most of the time these mounted police could quickly support! And this mounted police force is fully under the command of Le Yi, Captain Taoqiu.

Not only that, in order to take care of Zhao Xue's ideas, in addition to supporting Le Yi, Dai Yan also gathered the two thousand soldiers and horses transferred from Fengyi and the one thousand armor under Zhao Xue and handed them over to Zhao Xue to manage on a temporary basis. With the 3,000 soldiers in his hands, as long as Taoqiu is not invaded by foreign countries, the safety of the entire city is no problem at all.

Dai Yan appointed officials and gave them the power to recruit their own officials, not to be lazy, but to do a kind of behavior that caters to the situation of the times. You must know that in this era, even the six secretaries with the most power in a country, and the three princes and nine secretaries expanded into the Qin and Han dynasties, can open their own mansions and build their own teeth and appoint officials on their own.

In fact, this was a compromise that had to be made in the early days of centralization. It was only in the Sui and Tang dynasties, after the system of three provinces and six ministries was perfected, that the emperor could be regarded as having the power to appoint specific official positions. Even so, this power was slowly encroached upon by the bureaucracy, and finally the power to appoint and dismiss ordinary officials gradually fell into the hands of the ministry.

After dividing the entire Taoqiu area and assigning everyone's positions, everyone either appointed their own disciples, summoned fellow villagers, or recruited them on their own, and soon built a complete bureaucratic system in Taoqiu.

This bureaucracy was much larger than the original tiny Yi Dafu Mansion in Taoqiu, and it was extremely efficient and quickly put to the test!

After the completion of this bureaucratic system, the first thing Dai Yan had to do was to cooperate with the experts of Qi Guan to dismantle all the places that did not meet the fire protection standards in the entire Taoqiu!

Because there are too many illegal places in Taoqiu, especially the poor people in Nancheng, many people simply pull a shed and come to live. And if Dai Yan demolishes these buildings like this, it will definitely cause countless poor people to be homeless!

Dai Yan soon issued an order to open up all the rangers' lair, their own confiscated dwellings, for those poor people to live in!

Of course, considering that the poor people are all people who are used to living a hard life, and the combined number of those rangers' houses and rangers' nests is not at all an order of magnitude compared to the homeless poor, Dai Yan has no intention of letting these poor people enjoy those rangers immediately!

He cut off all the confiscated ranger properties, like the rental houses in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen in later generations, and turned them into small compartments, and then moved all the homeless poor people into it.

Of course, with such a house, the living conditions of the low-level people in Taoqiu have also been greatly improved at once. At least the dwellings and nests of these rangers will not leak like the grass huts built by the commoners themselves.

As for the houses provided to these ordinary people, Dai Yan has no intention of providing them for free at all. All the common people who lived in these houses, Dai Yan symbolically charged a certain amount of rent.

It's not that Dai Yan is stingy and wants to squeeze these low-level commoners like this. But he knows very well that if it is provided to these commoners for free, they will not cherish it too much, and secondly, they will have much less desire to get things and make progress, he doesn't want a group of people who have been satisfied, he hopes that his people are people who are never satisfied, and who continue to work hard and struggle for their ideals!

The entire Taoqiu was carefully cleaned up by Dai Yan's order, and after all the illegal buildings in the city were demolished, the entire city looked much cleaner than before, and the whole city had a new feeling!
