Chapter 14: Killing the Chicken and Showing the Monkey (Part 2!) )

The group of six or seven people in Western clothes and with short hair is not conspicuous in what is now Gaiping County—many people in the city have already cut their braids for a bowl of noodles or safety, no matter what their purpose, but at least Tang Haoran and his party are not conspicuous on the street. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoIn the eyes of outsiders, this is just a group of passers-by dressed in Western style, and there is no difference.

The Civil Affairs Office is the old county office, and when he got closer, Tang Haoran couldn't help but glance at this yamen, the county government looked a little old, just like this city, maybe just like this country, it was rotten everywhere, and there were even some weeds growing between the cracks of some old gray walls.

At the main gate of the yamen, the plaque that originally hung the "Gaiping Administration" has been replaced with the plaque of the "Gaiping County Civil Affairs Office" with black characters on a white background, and the plaque can be seen at a glance that it is new, but a pair of couplets on the pillar of the house is old, although it is somewhat damaged, but it only appears clear because of the cleanliness of the pillar of the house.

"Deceive others as if you deceive the heavens, and do not deceive yourself; To bear the people is to lose the country, how to bear it. ”

Looking at this couplet, Tang Haoran sighed for a while, starting from the Song Dynasty, officials used the way of writing couplets in the official office yamen to show their way of being officials. But how many people can do it? This couplet is not so much an "official association" and "official motto", which is called the "quintessence of the country" by later generations, but rather a manifestation of the Chinese people's ability to play with words, and how "long-standing" this officialdom tradition is.

"In this world's officialdom, a few people don't deceive people, a few people don't deceive the sky, a few people don't live up to the people, and a few people don't live up to the country!"

After sighing, Tang Haoran took a step towards the yamen, but he had just entered. Over there, I saw a few people standing in front of the second hall. You can tell it at a glance from the dress. They were all officials in the department, and one of the young men stared at the other with a grim face.

"Your Excellency!"

As soon as he heard that he was going to be confronted face to face, Sun Tiangong only felt that his knees were weak, and the whole person knelt down.

"The small, the small one also blinded the lard for a while, and became greedy, just a piece of meat. Small refunds, refunds, and retributions are ......"

What's going on?

The scene in front of him made Tang Haoran stunned for a moment, and he and Song Yuxin glanced at each other, and then stood aside with great interest.

"You uncompetitive thing, just a little bit of meat blindfolds your heart! Don't you know the discipline in the PCPD? ”

In Sun Tiangong's begging voice, Fang Yan Jingxing reprimanded, but looking at his pitiful appearance, he persuaded softly.

"Civil Affairs Chief, I think it's okay. It's not a big deal anyway! After all, Sun Tiangong is quite diligent in his work! ”

It's really not a thing, ten pounds of meat. It's not worth two dimes!

"A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed in an anthill!"

Thinking about this sentence in his heart, Qin Lang, who frowned, immediately contacted a principle that the teacher repeatedly emphasized when he was studying at the Seoul Administrative School, in fact, this is also the reason why the government has zero tolerance for corruption and dereliction of duty, not to mention two silver dollars, even if it is a copper dollar......

Tang Haoran, who was standing on the side of the second hall and watching the scene in front of him, was now curious about how the civil chief was going to deal with this matter. The civil affairs chiefs of the northeastern regions are the supreme governors of the same place, and this position was established when they were in Korea, but at that time they were to "compete for power" from North Korean officials.

However, the reason why he is still using the post of civil affairs chief is that Tang Haoran has his own considerations -- it is an attempt in some kind of administrative system. The Civil Affairs Office is only a temporary civil affairs organization, and in the future there will still be institutions such as local councils, while mayors and county mayors are elected by the councils.

If the Consultative Bureau is allowed to control the localities, it may lead to the prevalence of localism, just like the late Qing Dynasty in another time and space. This will undoubtedly pose a challenge to the centralization of power, and may even lead to the central government having to devote more energy to balancing local forces.

To a certain extent, the Civil Affairs Office is not a mature idea of how to find a balance between the local government and the central government, and although the future chief of the Civil Affairs Office is sent by the central government, he needs to accept the dual supervision of the central and local governments, that is, the supervision of the city and county magistrates and the advisory bureau.

In this way, local power is still controlled by the central government, but the local government supervises the officials dispatched by the central government, so that the two sides do not deviate, so that localism does not run rampant, and it also ensures that local officials do not become corrupt because of their power without supervision. In other words, it is to put a "tightening spell" on each other, and by establishing a position of non-subordination to each other, non-interference and mutual supervision, so that neither side dares to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

The reason why there are no city and county mayors at present is to pave the way for the establishment of an advisory bureau to elect city and county mayors in the future. While the city and county governors were in local control, the power remained in the governor's office.

However, it is precisely for this reason that the current civil affairs chief, as the supreme magistrate of a locality, is in a state of semi-supervision - a government has only one inspector general, and it is naturally impossible to supervise all officials.

In such a situation where there are loopholes in supervision, how will the civil chief in front of him deal with this matter? At this moment, Tang Haoran heard the man say sharply.

"If you know that it is wrong, how can you generalize? If the staff of the PCPD do not deal with the extortion and extortion by the public office, how will the people view us? ”

But even if they get a salary of eight yuan a month, they still inevitably use the little power in their hands, fish and meat the people! And the reason why they can prey on the common people is precisely based on the ignorance of local government affairs by section chiefs like Fang Yanjing, if not, how could Fang Yanjing rely on them and intercede for them?

What's more, if this matter is not cured, if everyone in the office is lucky in the future because of trivial matters, how can this situation be saved at that time, and I am afraid that it will not be a question of firing a staff member at that time.

"Deduct Sun Tiangong's salary this month, and report the dismissal!"

When the expulsion reached Sun Tiangong's ears, Sun Tiangong only felt that his whole body was soft, and his job was smashed like this!

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

Looking at Sun Tiangong, who was paralyzed on the ground, with tears running rampant and a pitiful face, what Qin Lang thought about was the sentence he learned when he was studying, "Let your officials be as clear as water, it is inevitable that the officials will be as smooth as oil." ”。

sighed in his heart at the treacherous and pitiful of the officials, and turned his eyes to the chief of the Civil Affairs Section,

"As for Section Chief Fang, ...... you?"

Staring at Fang Yanjing, Qin Lang first let out a long sigh, and then shook his head and sighed.

"As the chief officer, you naturally need to be directly responsible, write an inspection first, and I will report to the deputy inspector general along with the inspection!"

What the! Fang Yanjing, who was originally pleading for Sun Tiangong, suddenly changed his face, he didn't expect that he was also responsible, but it was just a matter of a few cents, for him, who graduated from the Seoul Administrative School three months ago, he naturally knew that in the administrative system of the Governor's Palace, the provincial supervisors were directly dispatched by the Governor's Office Supervision Department, and the judges were generally independent of the civil affairs system. This means that he is not likely to be promoted in any way - it is a basic principle, even if it is only a very slight stain, that a tainted clerk cannot be promoted.

Just as his face turned pale and tried to justify, he heard Qin Lang say again.

"Officer Feng, you go to that mountain goods store immediately, ask the owner of the store to come over, and I apologize to him personally!"

Until Tang Haoran and his entourage withdrew from the Civil Affairs Office, no one noticed them, After walking out of the office for dozens of meters, Tang Haoran looked at Song Yuxin, who seemed to be thoughtful, and asked.

"Jieqi, what do you think? Do you think he's dealing with it too much? ”

Heavy?

To a certain extent, it is true that the dismissal of the employees involved has been able to put an end to the matter, and in fact this is the best way to deal with the "temporary workers", and then the people saw the "justice" of the government, and they shouted "Adults are wise", and then sang praises for the government, thanking the adults for upholding justice for them.

This has always been the case in China, it is like this now, and it will be the same in 120 years. He handled this matter like this, even Tang Haoran himself couldn't find anything wrong, the party had already been dealt with!

was fired, and his job was smashed because of such a trivial matter, how can he not be satisfied? But that Qin Lang didn't stop there, and asked the head of the Civil Affairs Section to ask for an inspection, and also reported the matter to the deputy inspector general. What will be the result? For the chief of civil affairs, the best outcome would be the destruction of his political future, and he would even be fired. After all, my original request to the Inspectorate was to "turn a small matter into a big thing", not "make a small thing".

In this case, he still has no intention of giving up, and he will investigate the employees and section chiefs in the office. In other words, he's turning "small things into big things."

"It's really heavy!"

Song Yuxin said yes, and then changed the conversation again.

"But at this time, you need to kill the chicken to show the monkey! Governing the world first governs officials, and magistrates govern officials first. In the Qing Dynasty, the scribe's unauthorized power over the common people has long been a problem that is difficult to return. There is a saying in officialdom: "If you are as clear as water, it is inevitable that the officials will be as slippery as oil." "It's the county officials, the old officials were like this, how can those employees not follow suit? This courage is raised little by little, today he can use two copper dollars to buy ten catties of meat, tomorrow he can extort dozens of hundreds of taels of silver, when the time comes, I am afraid that even those section chiefs may be pulled down, he can make the employees of the Public Office restrain their greed, and make the officials vigilant! ”

Sometimes, it is always necessary to kill the chicken to show the monkey, the way to govern the country does not rely on power, but after all, it is still inseparable from power, and power always needs supervision, although he sighed in his heart, Tang Haoran still has no intention of implementing that set of "administrative system" in which municipal and civil affairs cooperate with each other and do not subordinate to each other, do not interfere with each other and supervise each other, after all, what the Northeast needs now is arbitrary.

"Okay, Jie Qi, this Gaiping is nothing to see, let's go directly to Fengtian tomorrow!"
