Chapter Seventy-Four: Separation of Powers and Delegation of Power (I)

After Chen Fei left in the morning, he also left the county government with this Li Wanrou and went to Shuozhou City to look around. And the officials in those county offices were also nervous, and they didn't know what kind of person the new county magistrate was. Of course, Chen Fei hoped that they would be nervous, but he was very relaxed. Because Chen Fei knew that his power position was very stable, because Chen Fei had read some officialdom novels in later generations, he knew that the power at the county level was very concentrated, and the power at the county level was known as the most concentrated level of power in China. Often the words and deeds of the leader can affect everyone. This situation has not changed much until later generations, and as long as Chen Fei is stuck with the rights, then they are all empty shelves without any rights. And Chen Fei also grasped this point and could control them at any time. And those scribes were even more panicked, because these scribes were not civil servants in later generations, and if the civil servants in later generations did something wrong, as long as they did not break the law, then the boss would at most adjust their work, but they could not fire them. But these scribes are different, they are not the staff of the imperial court, as long as Chen Fei, the county order, gives an order, they will also be covered and fired. So they were also very nervous, and Chen Fei's angry attitude also made them feel very nervous.

In the afternoon, Chen Fei finally returned.

"How many, are you still there?" Chen Fei asked.

And Chen Fei saw that there were still a few people left at the scene, that is, Zhang Mingde, the county magistrate, Sun Jiadong, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant Equation Xi. These three people are the only three incoming officials in this Shuo County establishment, that is, the people who need to be appointed and dismissed by the Ministry of Officials. And these three guys, Chen Fei is not qualified to decide whether they go or stay, and they must be carried out by the officials. So even Chen Fei couldn't do anything to them, so they were all a little fearless.

The county is the person who assists in the work of the county order, but there is not much corresponding actual responsibility, and his power is big and big, if the background is enough, he can completely empty the county order. But if the county order does not authorize him, then he may not really have much power, which is because the county does not have much legal authorization in this position. The right of a position depends on how much legal authorization he has in this position, but this county is also like this in legal theory, he is the person who assists the county order. However, to what extent it was assisted, it was not mentioned. This rule is also too lenient, so some counties have great power, and some counties have little power.

As for the master bookkeeper, he is responsible for the clerical work of a county, as well as the duty of supervision and inspection. This job position is equivalent to the director of the county government office and the county party committee office in later generations, and with the combined responsibilities of the discipline inspection commission and supervision department, the real power is also very large. As for the county lieutenant, he is in charge of the work of a county's prisons, as well as the work of prisons. And this is equivalent to the part of the Public Security Bureau, the court procuratorate, and finally the warden of the county jail where there is a prison. These are all "giants" in the county, and even Chen Fei can't ignore them.

"Chen County Order, what will our government do next? Please give me a hint! Zhang Mingde, the county magistrate, said.

Chen Fei was puzzled for a while, how do these three guys usually work? Chen Fei actually didn't know, but why did he ask himself?

"Normally, all the rights are concentrated in the hands of the Niu County Order, and we have no actual responsible duties, everything is arranged by the Niu County Order! Now that you're here, it's only natural that we're asking for your assignment! Zhang Mingde said.

When Chen Fei heard this, he also understood what the ancient county order was about. In ancient times, a county order can be said to be concentrated in the county order, and everything must be carried out by the order of the county order. Other officials only have executive power and no decision-making power, which also causes other officials to sometimes be at a loss. Now that Chen Fei has not been assigned a job, then they have nothing to do.

"Chen County Order, what are you going to assign to us? Please advise! However, if something happens, please ask Chen County to take care of it yourself! Step by step, Sun Jiadong said.

Chen Fei also understood that these guys wanted to bully their newcomers, and they didn't know much about things. These guys are all old fritters who have been here for many years, and they are very familiar with things here, although they have no decision-making power, but it is up to them to implement it. If they don't obey, then I'm afraid they will read all the good scriptures crookedly, and it will be miserable. How to implement it depends on them. So what they mean is to threaten in reverse, that is, if Chen Fei doesn't take into account their interests, then they will deliberately execute crookedly. When something happens, it is still Chen Fei, the county commander, who is responsible.

"Hmph, you want it, I'll carry it if something happens, you treat me as a stupid bird! However, this right does have to be given to you. Chen Fei thought to himself.

Chen Fei took the initiative to sit down and said, "Next, let's discuss the internal division of labor in our county government first!" I plan to discuss it, we have a division of labor internally, usually just a mess, if there is something, we will meet together regularly and irregularly to solve it. ”

"First of all, I, the county commander, is in charge of the officer's room and the household room, the county Cheng Zhang Mingde is in charge of the ceremonial room and the workshop, and the county lieutenant is in charge of the military room and the torture room. The three of us are in charge of each stall, and the documents that are usually reported by each room are also directly handed over to the corresponding person in charge, and there is no need to send them to me. If you handle it well, you will leave the ordinary little things to me, and I will use the seal directly without my review. And your decision represents my decision. As for the master book, you can be responsible for reviewing our policies, and if you don't agree with them, you can reject them, and then we will meet collectively to discuss and make decisions together. ”

"Finally, we meet regularly and irregularly to discuss some important matters. The four of us, when the time comes, everyone can express their opinions on important matters, and then after everyone has finished talking about their opinions, we will all vote to solve them. It should be resolved in accordance with the principle that the minority obeys the majority and according to the scheme agreed by the majority. However, we also have to keep a record of what we discussed on the spot, who agreed to which plan, and we have to sign the minutes of the meeting at that time to keep as evidence. ”

And when these three guys heard Chen Fei's words, their heads immediately became dizzy, and they were obviously stunned by this large string of pies.
