Chapter 297: A Chilling Decree
Linglong is very intoxicated with leisurely and happy, and the small days of staying together are seven or eight days.
Yang Zhi is also a human being, a person of flesh and blood. While enjoying such a pleasant time, he was also waiting. Qin Kongyun secretly asked the master of gold and stone to carve the big and small official seals, the customs regulations sorted out by Su Ziming, the donation that instigated Qin Jiaoyang to ask Bai Xinglang to come forward to launch, and Mr. Yi went to supervise the robes and ...... of various officials who were formulated. All of this is not something that can be reached by opening your mouth and closing your mouth, but must be patiently waited.
Just as US President George W. Bush wronged Saddam Hussein for stealing his family's pressure cooker, everything must be famous. Everywhere you go in the future, the letters of appointment that need to be distributed, the official duties necessary for officials, and the money required in the early stage, all of them must be presentable, and all of them are indispensable. But if you can't do everything on the spot, it will be extremely unserious, and the value will inevitably drop greatly. Otherwise, is it possible to send a "while it's hot"?
Whenever Yang Zhi thought of this section, he couldn't help but laugh secretly: the treasury didn't give a single copper plate, and even the official uniform and official seal had to be raised by himself. In the future, you have to carry so many bits and pieces on the road everywhere, what is the difference between it and a merchant who walks the rivers and lakes with a burden? In the past, I always thought that the emperor was the ultimate wholesaler of official hats, but now I am a bit similar to the second-level agent of OEM production.
It's good. Everyone is worry-free.
At the end of the month, the first thing waiting for was Su Ziming's "Regulations of the Governor of the Great Xia Customs". To Yang Zhi's surprise, Su Ziming not only understood the content of his dictation at that time very well, but also further refined it on the basis of citing ancient precedents and integrating reality. While taking a long-term view. He has unique insights in many aspects, and clearly proposes a detailed operation process that is highly feasible.
The most commendable thing is. This public pointed out sharply that in order to prevent collusion between officials and businessmen, prison guards and self-theft. The customs yamen must form a strong law enforcement force independent of the current official system, but it must also report to the local government and county, and should also accept regular or irregular inspection and supervision by the imperial court at any time.
Su Ziming can be said to be a pioneer in understanding the separation of powers and checks and balances in the judiciary. This person's talent, this person's name, must not be buried! After repeated review and consideration, under the current historical conditions, the regulations written by Su Ziming do not need to change a word! I couldn't help but compare Xu Wenhan with Su Ziming secretly: If it comes to academic strategy, Su Ziming may not be as good as it. If it is about governing the country through the world, it should be equal.
The only fly in the ointment is. Su Ziming made a preface of thousands of words before the main text. In addition to the statement that humans and animals are harmless to the country and the people, it is emphasized again and again that Yang Zhi is the original creator with absolute intellectual copyright, and he is just a parroting writer.
Yang Zhi only mentioned two changes: one was to change the title of the cover to "Interim Regulations of the Yamen of the Governor of Daxia Customs". The second is to draw a big black cross on the preface of each page with thick ink, and solemnly write "written by Su Ziming".
After Mr. Ming Yi wrote two copies for publication, he sent the original manuscript to Jinlilai Jinan with an expedited 600 miles and handed it to Su Ziming.
The iconic design and emblem of the Customs were designed by Yang Zhi himself. The Hermes Merchant God Scepter on the iconic pattern of the customs in the previous life is estimated to be not only unknown now, but will think that it looks weird like a witch. Yang Zhi simply abandoned it. I don't bother to use it. True to its creativity, with a bright gold background and a large shield behind a large shield is an iron anchor and a key crossed to the rest of the official robes. All of them are the same as officials of the same rank, and only need to add the iconic ornament of the customs yamen to the shoulders and hem.
After consulting Mr. Yi himself, Yang granted him a seven-rank official title. He was appointed as the first Yamen of the Customs Branch of Penglai...... Slightly made. Mr. Yi is cunning and intelligent by nature, and is good at improvising. Even Wang Yuxin, the commander of Penglai County, was often stunned by him. The determination of the rank and official name is all from the handwriting of Mr. Yi.
It's not enough to be a Xu official. In terms of procedures, it is necessary to ask the emperor for approval and approve the records of the Ministry of Officials for the record, so that he can be regarded as a Daxia official with a decent appearance. Just like the political trial in the previous life, not to mention the eighteenth generation of your ancestors, the basic situation still needs to be understood. Mr. Yang wrote a personal resume himself, such as his legendary experience as a killer contact and the "director" of the Penglai branch of Pirate Co., Ltd., all of which were replaced by the words "home leisure". At first glance, seeing the resume written by Mr. Yi, Yang Zhi almost didn't laugh so much, Mr. Yi's real name and surname are very distinctive: Rong Yi. The word Kunnan.
Within the scope of the authority given to Yang Zhi by the emperor, the Fucheng Branch Office made the highest grade to be awarded five grades, and six grades were temporarily awarded, so as not to be underestimated by local officials because the grade was too low, leaving a certain amount of room for promotion. The county branch office has a relatively large number of practices that need to be handled in person, so it is at the same level as the local county order, and the actual seven products are awarded. At this level, once there is a conflict, everyone is an equal-level court official, and no one is bird. In case it comes to the point of tearing your face, just show the carriage and horse to do it. After finishing work, their respective Shangguan will naturally wipe their butts and clean up the aftermath, so that they will not be out of control.
In fact, all the gods and Buddhas, including the emperor, knew that as long as there was trade overseas, the customs yamen would be tantamount to an inexhaustible gold mine, which could be called the No. 1 fat shortage in the sky. It's just that the official establishment of the government office is still from the beginning of Daxia, and it is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, and the first customs governor is Yang Zhi, a powerful figure that no one dares to provoke, so they are holding a wait-and-see attitude for the time being. When everything is straightened out and everyone comes to their senses, the local government and the imperial court, many princes and dignitaries who covet their benefits, and giants and predators with different backgrounds in the open and secretly will all participate in the competition for interests like bloodthirsty flies and insects.
Therefore, Yang Zhi, as the governor of customs, personally drafted two decrees. The core content of the two decrees is terrifying.
The first is the enforcement order: all customs duties and fees payable by customs merchants should be paid within three days. If there is any objection, you can appeal, calculate and confirm within these three days. If one day is in arrears, the fine will be doubled. Those who are in arrears for two days shall be fined three times. Those who are in arrears for three days shall be fined five times. Those who are in arrears for more than three days shall be fined and confiscated for all goods, and shall be sentenced to 50 strokes. Those who are in arrears for more than five days shall be beheaded. If a customs officer commits favoritism or malpractice, if it is verified, he shall be guilty of the same crime as the above. Those who are unable to pay the fine shall be beheaded.
The second is the conscription order: 100 law enforcement officials are recruited, and anyone over the age of 16 and under 40 can be recruited. Half of the water steps, those who have martial arts skills or can run ten miles, and have military experience are preferred, and all the officials will be equipped with waist knives, bows and arrows, and armor. Each of the land servants was equipped with one horse, two cannons, and ten muskets. The officers on the water were equipped with five clippers equipped with heavy crossbows and artillery, and 20 firearms. The salary and silver pension of the government service imitated the practice of the Great Xia Forbidden Army, and there was a subsidy for each mission.
After Mr. Yi read it, he couldn't help but gasp: "Master Hou, it's not difficult to understand the weight of the first law enforcement order, but ...... your second recruitment order, is the recruited officer still a servant?!" Even if it is really against the Great Xia Forbidden Army, it will be a sure win and not a loss! Moreover...... With such an equipment like yours, the sea of money to be spent has gone, and where does it come from? β
Yang Zhi sneered: "You are right, I just want to re-establish my authority!" The emperor and I had a five-year term, and apart from a few empty decrees, I didn't give a single son. If it's a cat or a dog, he dares to bark, so can Lao Tzu still mix? You don't have to be scrupulous, just do it boldly! I'll take care of everything! β
"Penglai is the first pass to land by the sea, and it is neatly equipped, and I can say it in both public and private terms. I will say hello to Xiong Zhan, if someone is lucky and chooses another place to land in order to avoid taxes, even people will clean me with goods! It doesn't take long to sweep, sweep and sweep, sweep and sweep and they will get used to it. β
"You don't have to worry about the silver. I will give you the full amount of silver that will cost you the opening and the first three months. But you remember, this is all Lao Tzu's own money, and it has to be repaid! In the future, it's up to you to figure it out. Because of Penglai's special location, I verbally promise you two special cases, one is that before you leave office, the tariffs collected will be 10 percent, and all expenses, including salaries, will be included. Second, all the extra oil and water are at your disposal. You only need to remember one thing: you must not only care about your own wealth, and after you have eaten and wiped it clean, you must not leave anything behind! β
Mr. Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Master Hou,...... What if there is? β
