At the end of the first civil service examination, the examination was naturally full of spirit.

It doesn't matter if you don't pass the test. went home and studied hard for two years, and the year after that happened to be a scientific expedition held by the imperial court. When the time comes, just go back and participate. Once you are lucky enough to be admitted to the Jinshi, you may be released as an official to serve as a county magistrate, which may be more comfortable than being an official in the anti-thief territory.

During this time, Zhang Hongbin also made certain adjustments to his territory according to some of his later views.

Perhaps these adjustments are a bit shocking and unacceptable to these natives, but in fact no one will object. After all, it is also common for the new dynasty to adjust government agencies or something. For example, the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty did not appear in the Tang, Song and Yuan eras.

Of course, the scientific expeditions of the previous dynasties did not test the Baguwen.

Zhang Hongbin set up the county-level administrative organs completely according to the methods of later generations.

First of all, each county has a primary court, and the judge is the former county magistrate, and there will be three executive deputy judges in charge: administrative, criminal prosecution, and internal service. From the date of its establishment, the courts will fully accept the petitions submitted by the people and then deal with them in special courts.

Of course, the evidence is also based on the principle of 'who appeals, who provides', after all, the police force and court staff are limited, but there are too many people in China and there are many disputes, and the investigation of them one by one can only make the backlog of cases a mountain.

Secondly, every county has a police station, in fact, if the same state is captured, then a police station will be set up in the same state, and after the whole of Shaanxi is conquered, a police headquarters will be established in the capital of Shaanxi, and at the same time, a police department will be set up in the capital of the new regime. At least, in Zhang Hongbin's eyes, the police should be set up like this, and the villages below set up police stations, and stationed a group of police officers to receive police in the local area.

The police station has a director and three executive deputy directors to help deal with public security, household registration and miscellaneous matters, and each police station has a criminal investigation team to receive and handle criminal cases, under the direct leadership of the director. To put it bluntly, the police department is responsible for the security and household registration of the entire county, and the director of the bureau is the original county lieutenant, in fact, the duties of the county lieutenant are almost the same.

Finally, there are the county government agencies, which are naturally in charge of the county order, and there are three executive deputy county magistrates below, among which the local police chief occupies the position of one of the deputy county magistrates, who is naturally responsible for local law and order issues; the other two, one is responsible for local finances and food reserve management; A local official in charge of business and environmental issues. As for the county magistrates, while conscientiously listening to the reports of the three executive deputy county magistrates, they should also fully promote the development of the counties under their jurisdiction according to their own administrative philosophy, and this period is four years, and after four years, according to the annual evaluation, the decision will be made whether to be leveled up, or to be promoted or promoted.

Under the county, there are also eight new institutions, including the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, the Health Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Finance Bureau, the Science and Technology Bureau, the Statistics Bureau, the Planning Bureau and the Construction Bureau.

Among them, sanitation is responsible for daily garbage cleaning, planting and maintenance of green plants; The Health Bureau is responsible for teaching everyone about epidemic prevention and managing local medical institutions. Needless to say, Education for All is Zhang Hongbin's obsession; The Finance Bureau is a permanent institution, and it is a stupid X that is not set up;

The Science and Technology Bureau is a new institution, mainly headed and adjutant by a few candidates who have applied for the industrial examination, who are mainly responsible for understanding the technologies of the past and at the same time proposing new research projects to the above, after which they can get research funds and then start working on the so-called new projects until the results are available. At this stage, how to enhance the power of weapons, how to decipher and improve the power of firearms, and how to manufacture more powerful firearms are the key projects laid out by Zhang Hongbin. Others, such as new agricultural tools and new processes for smelting metals, are also what he needs to see very much.

The Bureau of Statistics is completely a Qingshui yamen, and its tasks are small, mainly to review the county's financial budget for the year, as well as the budget of construction projects, and to cut some projects that are obviously Lang's money. To put it bluntly, it is to check for the government and avoid corruption and fees in the construction process. Zhang Hongbin said, 'Every cent of tax is the people's hard-earned money, so are you embarrassed to spend it or be greedy for it?' ’。 After that sentence was said, the work of the Bureau of Statistics naturally did not dare to be sloppy.

The Planning Bureau and the Construction Bureau are very simple, how to plan and build the construction and consolidation of the county, and at the same time evaluate the private investment of the people in the construction of workshops and other things, to confirm whether it will affect the development of the local county. If not, then you can build, and if it is in the way, you can change the place. To put it bluntly, it is also a gatekeeper for the construction of the local county.

Under these competent leaders, there is also a group of officially admitted civil servants, because the previous civil service examination was the first examination under Zhang Hongbin, so someone can directly become a county commander and a county official or something. At the beginning of the second time, that is, the second civil service examination four years later, regardless of the results, they can only be hired according to the civil service trees required by each locality, and the official editors can enjoy state benefits.

But in the same way, no matter how many grades you have, whether you are in the probation period or becoming a regular, you must start at the grassroots level and then promote step by step. Of course, according to the plan designed by Zhang Hongbin, it is natural that those who are able will be burdened, and those who are useless will obediently guard the Qingshui Yamen and wait for retirement. There may be no way to avoid the sophistication of human feelings, but it is necessary to limit such situations to the greatest extent and strive to give every talented civil servant the fairest opportunity for promotion.

Considering the problem that the people did not dare to sue the officials, Zhang Hongbin also set up an internal guard, which was actually the same as the Jinyi guard. The internal security is mainly responsible for the evaluation of officials, and for officials who have heavy greed, inaction, and persecution of the people, they will be reported to the local police station as soon as possible, and they will assist in the arrest of the prisoners, and then submit them to the court for judgment in the form of administrative lawsuits, and of course the evidence will be provided by the internal guard.

In other words, the internal security only has the power to investigate and deploy, but they do not have the ability to arrest, torture, or even directly sentence.

It is undeniable that after all officials take office, they are indeed not very accustomed to their duties. But it doesn't matter, Zhang Hongbin generously gave a three-month adaptation period. After three months of adaptation and the performance is not bad, he will continue to stay in office, and even have a certain possibility of promotion. As for those who can't adapt, they will be demoted, retained or even dismissed directly, which is nothing to say.

In the blink of an eye, it was May 1629, and it was already the first month of entry for the candidates.

was originally an official, but he quickly adapted to the new administrative rules, and unexpectedly found that his salary had increased. Originally, the annual income of the Qipin County Order was forty-five taels of silver, but now it has risen to eighty taels of silver. The county magistrate and the county lieutenant also found that they had risen a little, although there were not as many as the county order, but they were a lot more than before. The happiest are the civil servants below, they were originally local county officials, not only did they have no possibility of promotion, but also their salaries were not high, but now they not only have the possibility of promotion, but also their salaries are more than three times that of before, and they are immediately grateful to Zhang Hongbin.

I just want to say thank you sincerely, I'm afraid that they are a little depressed, after all, since Zhang Hongbin gave such a high price, there is obviously no way to collect some additional income from the previous black-and-white era. Besides, isn't this internal guard still staring at himself?

"Young Master, we give so many salaries, and there are so many administrative staff, will our administrative costs be raised too much?" Ling He has been with Zhang Hongbin for a long time, and he also understands some special words.

"How much tax do we earn?" Zhang Hongbin asked casually.

"Last year, if you don't count the extra money, the four places earned a total of 500,000 taels of silver. Of course, some of them are also extra money, so about 400,000 taels is the most reasonable, and on average, each county can collect 100,000 taels of silver. Ling He also had some impressions of this number.

"We are now six county seats, and we are in agriculture, and now three new crops are providing us with a steady stream of food, and we can sell them at a good price; Local industry and commerce have already begun to develop, at least as I expected, the annual industrial and commercial tax revenue will be appropriately raised, and in general, next year perhaps each of our counties will receive an average of 150,000 taels of silver, a total of 900,000 taels of silver. After deducting military spending, we still have a certain surplus as daily expenses. On top of that, we have some other revenues, which are equivalent to net income, which will go directly to the treasury. Zhang Hongbin analyzed Ling He more seriously.

"My subordinates have been taught!" Even if Ling He thought he was better than Zhang Hongbin before, he had to admit that Zhang Hongbin was better than him in terms of economy.

"By the way, that guy from Niu Jinxing is still used to staying in the army, right?" Zhang Hongbin suddenly remembered something.

"That literati is a staff officer, and we just lack a qualified staff officer. As for whether Xi is used to it, this guy's adaptability is very strong, and he has been accustomed to military life in just one month. Wang Er, who was standing on the side, replied.

"That's good, you can tell him now, let him be a staff officer, and now immediately formulate a strategy plan for the same state. How many soldiers, how many siege weapons, what tactics are needed, and what generals are needed are all worked out for me, and at the latest in a month, you will set out for me to defeat the lonely city in Tongzhou. Zhang Hongbin decisively slapped the board.

"Yes!" Wang Er was excited, and there was another battle to fight in the secret road.
