Escorted by a cavalry team, several Western-style wagons drove north along the road, and the so-called highway was actually just an old official road with rammed earth roads, although it was leveled several times during the war, and even paved with gravel and sand ginger "semi-hard roads", but after several rainwater soaks, they were run over by heavy carriages, and the road that seemed to be smooth at the beginning of the construction quickly became potholed again, and only a few ditches were crushed by the wheels, which was still relatively smooth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thanks to the shock-absorbing springs on the wheels of the carriage and the driver deliberately driving along the relatively flat wheel prints of the whole car, it is not a bump in the reversing carriage, Shen Jingxian, who was leaning against the window, opened her beautiful eyes wide, looking at the ground outside the window, although the carriage was full of wasteland, she was still curious.

Is this China?

Is it the dynasty that grandpa said?

Why are there so few villages along the way? Why is there so much wasteland?

When questions like these were cold in her mind, a girl in a pale cyan gown sitting opposite her also blinked curiously, looking at the earth outside the car, unlike Shen Jingxian, her eyes carried an inexplicable longing.

"Yingyan, if I'm not mistaken, the ancestral home of the Li family is Liaodong!"

Shen Jingxian, who had already taken her eyes back from the car, noticed the eagerness in Li Yingyan's expression, so she casually asked, the distant ancestor of the Li family in Yizhou was Li Chengliang, a general in Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty, and Yingyan and her sister Yingmin were from the Li family in Yizhou, and they were the "maid rings" who were ordered by the king of Joseon a few months ago.

"Madam, the ancestral home of the Li family is indeed the ...... of Liaodong"

Madame's words made Yingyan's face change slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her head. She and her sister were both brought into the Shen family by the king of Joseon. As Shen Jingxian's dowry, she married into an adult's family. Li Yingmin, who was on the side, hurriedly took her sister's words and said.

"Ma'am. The ancestors of the Li family avoided North Korea because of the chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor was attached to North Korea during the Ming Dynasty, and now he is attached to Liaodong with the adult, which is thanks to the blessing of the adult to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, the great grace of the Li family, my sister and I are difficult to repay even if the bones are broken! ”

Ying Min's words made Shen Jingxian look out again, recognizing her ancestors and returning to her ancestors, the Li family is like this. What about the Shen family? When will the Shen family, who came from Jiangnan, be able to recognize their ancestors? When will my father be able to return to his ancestral grave?

Li Yingyan and Li Yingsen, who are only fifteen or sixteen years old, don't know why their wife has a sad face, thinking that their wife only reunited with the adult in Lushun five days ago, and then left in a hurry.

"Madam, how about we wait here for an adult? After all, adults are going to Mukden too! ”

Ying Min's suggestion made Shen Jingxian's heart move, although it was said that the family members of the house had left Lushun with Xianggong, but they were in front, if they could wait for two days, maybe they could really wait for him. After all, there is only one official road from Lushun to Mukden.

But when the time comes, Haoran shouldn't be angry?

Angry. How so? Thinking of Haoran's love for herself since she got married, Shen Jingxian's heart was a burst of sweetness, and when it was sweet, there was a burst of worry in her heart.

Although she almost enjoyed the exclusive favor after marrying into the Tang family, as for the "girls in the room" who accompanied the marriage, Haoran didn't even touch it, but she didn't dare to enjoy this exclusive favor in her heart - jealousy is a woman's taboo. If the name of jealousy goes out of the house...... Knowing that the strength of her family is weak and completely unreliable, she immediately realized that if she still enjoyed the favor as before, what if someone fanned the flames or sent the woman into the house?

Thinking of this, Shen Jingxian's heart was in a mess, looking at the two girls sitting in front of her, with ordinary braids, ordinary light green gowns, and general crystal eyes, but the two sisters had almost ordinary beautiful faces, but they exuded two completely different temperaments, one gentle and graceful, and the other charming and delicate.

This Joseon king really knows how to choose people!

Such a pair of sister flowers, don't say that they are ordinary men, even she, a woman, is also a pity for me to stay by my side, but Haoran, thinking of Haoran's ignorance of this pair of sister flowers, Shen Jingxian's heart was slightly warm, but she sighed in her heart.

"Don't wait for others to say it, then it's too late......"

After a long sigh, I knew that they were married into the house as their "dowry" Shen Jingxian, who helped them fix their favors, and knew that compared to the women outside, whether it was the Li family sisters in front of them or the other six North Korean women, no matter what their past identities were, their family in the Tang family was "the people of the Shen family", and they were their masters, even if they were born children before themselves, they had to call themselves the eldest mother first, and if they were replaced by others, they might not be what they would become.

Shen Jingxian, who had a sense of worry about the future for the first time, seemed to have figured out something, looked at the two sisters with a smile, stretched out her slender hand to hold the hands of Yingyan and Yingmin, and said with a smile.

"Since your sisters married into the Tang family with me, they are the people of the Tang family, what needs to be talked about there is not to be reported, let's wait for the husband in front, my body is a little inconvenient these days, and then you will accompany the husband for me......"

For Tang Haoran, who had just arrived in Gaiping County, he naturally didn't know that Haicheng, which was more than 100 miles away, was waiting for him, but looked at this Gaiping County with great interest.

When I left the barracks outside Gaiping County and entered the county seat, it was just after five o'clock in the afternoon, although it was already time to set off in the market, but the streets were still bustling with people, the shops on both sides were lined up, the shops with hanging stalls were completely cluttered, and the streets also seemed to be very clean and completely missing the dirt of the traditional town, and even the floor tiles that were paved at some point and should have been covered with ash and soil would have been swept out.

As for the curtains of the street stalls on the side of the road, they are also brand new, not only the height is even the same as the width of the street, as for the street vendors, they are also deliberately limited to the area on the side of the street, and occasionally the patrol police will be seen passing by, whenever the patrol police's eyes sweep over the street stalls, the people always seem to be in awe. And a vegetable vendor hurriedly put the rotten vegetable leaves on the side of the stall in the vegetable basket.

For this detail. Tang Haoran just glanced at it. They did not express any opinions, and although these police officers do not have the power to supervise family health here, it does not prevent them from bringing the "community health supervision" implemented in the SAR and the places where they are stationed to the northeast. Even compared to North Korea, there was no resistance from the police in the process of promoting community appearance and sanitation supervision - it was a wartime, although there were people who had just settled down under the notice of the people, and they dared to disobey the orders of the "military masters" to clean up the garbage in the city. Naturally, he did not dare to disobey, so he replaced the old sunshade curtain full of patches, and immediately replaced it with a new curtain according to the regulations, and the cloth of the same color and size was empty.

The so-called Diao Min, who had worried the Governor's Office the most, did not appear at all, and the people could not tell what was a soldier and what was a policeman, but for them, these people were "rebels" who would be killed at any time, and it was better to obey first than others in any case, and the Chinese people's obedience to power was average. For these obedient people, they were always able to submit to the new ruler in the shortest possible time.

"Let's go. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Department and have a look! ”

After saying to Song Xinyu, Tang Haoran quickened his pace, although he advocated achieving the improvement of the social atmosphere through coercive means, changing the hygiene habits of the Chinese people, and reproducing the so-called "state of etiquette and music", but on the other hand, he was most worried about the civil affairs system, and Gaiping County was the first county he passed, so he naturally wanted to understand whether the simple civil affairs system could effectively govern the city.

"Dashuai, this place is not familiar with the place, it is better to wander around less, the civil affairs officer of Gaiping County, naturally knows a lot about the pros and cons of the place, talk to him first, and then take a walk, it will save trouble and less trouble."

In fact, from the beginning, Song Yuxin did not agree with the marshal only bringing four bodyguards into the city, after all, now the war Fang Jing, if there is any accident, it is not something he can afford to afford, but how can he say that Tang Haoran, who has already made up his mind, can be moved.

"I still like this, if we go directly to the civil chief, we will definitely not see the real thing. Some people are officials, all by one mouth, and that mouth can really tell the dead to live, from ancient times to the present in the mouths of those officials, the people there are not living a life of abundant food and clothing. It is well said and substantiated, if this is the case, how can there be a change of dynasty? How can there be a thousand miles of starvation, to say ruthlessly, I would rather believe a dog, and I dare not believe the rhetoric of the officials! ”

Although this sentence is vulgar, it is also inspired by feelings, and in later generations, he has seen more than once how officials whitewash the peace with their rhetoric, and in this era, through contact with them, he is even more disappointed with the officials. In the past, Tang Haoran may not have been able to care about those officials, but now it is different from the past, in the past, it was said that it was to oversee North Korea, and if it was unpleasant, it was to colonize North Korea, so naturally there was no need to worry too much, and in the past, the civil affairs officials of the Unified Supervision Office put it bluntly, they wanted to "usurp" the power of the North Korean government, but despite this, most of the time they still need to use the North Korean government to implement indirect rule, and usually do not have direct contact with the North Korean people.

And now the Civil Affairs Department and the Civil Affairs Office have completely replaced the Manchu Qing Dynasty government and become the basis for the Governor's Office to rule in the Northeast, and it is precisely because of this that Tang Haoran will be nervous, after all, those civil affairs officials are just a group of young people in their twenties, and in the past, when they were with North Korea, they were able to withstand the "temptation" because of the mutual supervision caused by the conflict of power and responsibility with North Korean officials, and now? Once in power, will they fall into China's so-called humane society?

It is precisely because of this that when Tang Haoran speaks, he will inevitably have some anger due to excessive concern or nervousness.

Sensing the anger revealed in the handsome's words, Song Yuxin hurriedly persuaded him:

"At that moment, at this time, things are different. Governing the country by the way cannot all rely on power. The reason why the marshal often said that there was no one before the fall of corruption in the Manchu officialdom, and all its civil and military officials were unreliable, and its corruption was very, it was because there was no law to follow, when the marshal was in Korea, he said that even in North Korea, it was necessary to govern the country according to the law, and as for officials at all levels, they must use their power according to the law, and if they can use their power according to the law, they will naturally be able to use their power according to the law, and they will use their power honestly.

In order to avoid the influence of the Manchu officialdom's habits, a basic principle was formulated long before the attack on the northeast -- no old officials were used, so no one in the old officialdom was used, and even if they were faced with a shortage of personnel and manpower, they would rather reduce the administrative pressure by reducing or reducing the land endowment. Nor will they follow the people of the old officialdom.

There was a slight pause. Song Yuxin looked at the handsome man next to him and smiled.

"Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion. 100,000 snowflakes of silver, in the words of adults, it is precisely because power is not supervised, so it will lead to this situation, but in the cities of the Northeast, in addition to the chief of civil affairs, there are judges, and their power and responsibility lead to mutual supervision, if anyone dares to be corrupt. They will be punished by joint sitting, which will discourage those who dare to try the Fa. Coupled with the formulation and implementation of the corresponding administrative system, corruption in the government has always been rare. Moreover, even if there are occasional bold people who wait until the establishment of the newspaper in the future, there will be public opinion to supervise the outside world, and if the people are unfair, there will naturally be a newspaper to apply for it, so how can any official be willing to smash his golden job bowl for that little silver! ”

"Golden Rice Bowl" This is the name of the outside world for the position of the official of the Governor's Office, and the reason why it is called "gold". But because of its "gold content". The composition of the government agencies under the Governor's Office can be described as extremely thin - for example, there are only a few county affairs officers. Even the police, there are only a dozen or so. The treatment from the period of the Korean Unified Supervision Office can be described as extremely generous, and even the most ordinary clerks have a higher salary ratio. An ordinary clerk has a monthly salary of more than 100 yuan after the expiration of the probationary period. At present, Qipinzhi County in the interior can receive 29.3 taels of silver every year, 1,400 taels of incorruptible silver and 160 taels of public silver every year, although it is not less than 10,000 taels of corruption every year, but it is still difficult to compare with the affairs officer of the governor's palace -- after all, in addition to promotion, he also has an annual salary increase.

Compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had not increased their wages since they entered the customs, the public offices under the Governor's Office had regular promotions and salary increases, so as to ensure that even if they were not promoted, as long as they complied with the system, they could still get a good salary. Even if the officials retired from old age, they could receive a lump sum pension equivalent to ten years' salary, which was beyond the reach of Manchu officials, one of which would have no income.

This is the retirement system and pension system implemented by Tang Haoran in the unified supervision office and the company. Usually the salary is good, and there is a considerable pension as a pension as a pension after retirement, so the affairs officials in the government can be free of worries when they are on duty, and they can work with peace of mind and serve with all their hearts. Moreover, the longer the service period, the greater the accumulation of pension funds, and the more reluctant to give up later. In this way, the pension fund has actually become a guarantee for officials to maintain integrity and clean administration, which has virtually increased the management effectiveness of officials. After weighing the pros and cons, most of these officials do not want to take risks for corruption, and they are not willing to lose their jobs for corruption.

Of course, compared with the officialdom in the mainland, in addition to the system of interlocking, mutual supervision, and even mutual sitting, what is more important is supervision, and supervision starts with Tang Haoran himself, so that no one can be exempt from supervision, and nothing can be operated in the dark. In addition, Tang Haoran has repeatedly emphasized the implementation of the system, if any official is found to be misconducted, once it is reported, it will be investigated to the end, and he will not be soft. At the end of the end is to fight corruption and promote clean government, and unremittingly grasp it, and if it is discovered, it will be investigated and dealt with together. Therefore, officials at all levels naturally no one dared to cross the thunder pool, and even feared that if they were not careful, they would break the golden rice bowl.

"Hey, I got the tip of the horn!"

Tang Haoran, who realized that he had ignored the binding force of the Fuzhong system on officials, waved his hand helplessly, and then said with a smile:

"However, this is also a worry about the future, after all, everything we do here now directly determines our future ......"

When mentioning the future, Tang Haoran naturally thought of Li Zicheng, and thought of how he hit Beijing, but lost the world, isn't it because of corruption?

"Qixin, do you know what I imagine the future of Northeast China should look like?"

After a rhetorical question, Tang Haoran said with longing.

"It is that the politics are clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the economy is prosperous, which is the Chinese paradise that everyone yearns for......"

Although the Paradise almost made him instinctively think of the so-called "Imperial Paradise" in another time and space, but for Tang Haoran, this is exactly what he wants to see, in the next few years, the first thing people think of when they mention the Northeast is that the politics are clear and the officials are honest, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, the economy can prosper, and so can they conquer the hearts of the people.

Although reunification inevitably requires the use of force, and even the Military Command Department has begun to formulate a corresponding entry plan, and in the next ten years, the Northeast Army will ostensibly implement a military building plan to prepare for war against Russia, but in fact Russia is only an imaginary enemy, and the eight governors in the pass are the real enemies, whether it is Li Hongzhang or Zhang Zhidong, the future will be their own enemies!

“…… Only when the world regards the Northeast as a happy land, when the soldiers meet in the future, can it make people's hearts in me! ”

"The marshal is far-sighted, not what we can see, but the more so, the more we should abide by the formula, the civil affairs of Gaiping County is naturally responsible for the chief of civil affairs, although it is the superior and only exercises the power of supervision, if it is corrupt or dereliction of duty, its own procuratorate to collect evidence and investigate. It's not hearsay, and if the marshal wants to know about this place, he should listen to the civil affairs chief's report first! ”

Song Yuxin, who used the system in the house as a shield, hurriedly rushed to a bodyguard behind him to order after saying this truth.

"Sun Tian, you immediately go and call the local civil chief......

Before Song Yuxin finished speaking, Tang Haoran interrupted him and said.

"No need, let's go together!"
