Chapter 421: Who's in Charge

Whether it is the internal merit of the Ministry of Justice or the public praise of the Executive Committee, this is already a great achievement for a naturalized citizen. Fu Li has been in the Haihan system for nearly two years, and he has gradually become familiar with the bureaucratic system of Haihan, and he also knows that getting these official awards will play an important role in his future development, so he is naturally excited.

Not only that, the executive committee also decided to assign him a new task, that is, to be fully responsible for the reception and accompanying work of Shi Zitong on behalf of Huang Que during his stay in Sanya. This is simply drowsiness meets a pillow, and before Fu Li has time to apply, the executive committee took the initiative to hand over this errand to him. Of course, in terms of the current situation of naturalized civilian cadres under various departments, there are indeed not many senior cadres from the Li nationality, and there are even fewer people like Fu Li who know the roots, are loyal enough, and are more able to do things, plus he has also participated in the previous stage of the work throughout the process, and then completes the rest of the things, there will be no disjointed handover.

As Fu Li had predicted, the Yellow Sparrow had already been impressed by the prosperity of the place when he sailed into Victory Harbor. Since Huang Que was born, the farthest place he has been to is Danzhou, but compared with Shengli Port, the port of Danzhou Bay is at most the scale of a rural wharf, mostly civilian ships and fishing boats, and merchant ships can only see one every three or five times. In the past, Danzhou still had two large freight exporters, the salt field and the coal yard, but after the Haihan people settled in Shengli Port, these two businesses in Danzhou have basically been occupied by the Haihan high-quality and cheap refined salt and refined coal, and the salt and coal yards have even run out of people, and the merchant ships engaged in local trade have become more and more rare.

Danzhou has become so depressed, how can the county seat under its jurisdiction get any better? In a small place like Changhua, many supplies still have to be obtained from Danzhou, not to mention the situation in the market. And the small port on the coast of Changhua is even more trivial compared to Shengli Port, and Huang Que looked at the various ships docked at the shore dock here, and was very shocked at that time.

Fu Li understood Huang Que's feelings very well, because when he walked out of the mountains and came to Victory Harbor two years ago. A similar shock was received. However, at that time, the renovation of Victory Port had not yet been completed, and there were no foreign merchants visiting here, so it was not as prosperous as it is today. If what he saw at that time was what Victory Harbor looked like now, he was afraid that his reaction would not be as calm as Huang Que's.

After Fu Li was assigned the task of the executive committee, he immediately went to the State Guest House to find Huang Que. As Fu Li had predicted, Huang Que was clearly curious about every aspect of the place, including the ceramic bathroom and running hot water in the room. All the novelties that could be touched filled the teenager who had just left the mountains with a desire to find out.

Huang Que was also very happy to see that Fu Li was coming, and there happened to be a lot of questions that no one could ask for advice. Rune power can be regarded as solving the problem.

"Look, as soon as this water pipe twists the upper mechanism, water will flow out on its own, cold water to the left, hot water to the right, what is the reason?" Huang Que didn't wait for Fu Li to sit down, so he pulled him to the bathroom first and asked himself a puzzled question: "Could it be that there are two springs in this pipe, one of which is a hot spring?"

Fu Li smiled: "Your imagination is not bad, although it is not hit, but it is not far away." (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable) This water pipe is not a spring water. It's a big tank on the roof, and as soon as you twist it, the water will automatically be pressed out of the pipe. One of the tanks has been heated with coal, and naturally hot water is coming out. ”

"I see, but why do the Haihan people do such a laborious task? Isn't it enough to dig a well in the courtyard?" asked Huang Que puzzled.

"You have to carry water to dig a well, isn't it better to unscrew it?" Fu Li replied.

Huang Que shook his head and said, "But you said that this water tank is placed on the roof, don't you have to carry water to the roof?"

"No, I don't. Come and see. Fu Li brought the yellow finch to the window, pointed to the roof of the other row of buildings in the State Guest House, and said, "Look, just use a windmill to lift the irrigation device, basically no one needs to take care of it, and the water will naturally be injected into the water tank." ”

"I see, this thing is wonderful!" said Huang Que with a fist, "When I go back." Let the lord also get a thing that can automatically run water. ”

"Don't look at it as inconspicuous, this thing is very expensive. Fu Li poured a basin of cold water on the enthusiastic Yellow Bird: "This water tank and water pipe have to be made of fine iron, not something that can be made of ten taels or eight taels of silver." ”

"Ah......h Although I envy the convenient setting of the Haihan people, it is obvious that the so-called convenience must be based on certain material conditions, and this is precisely the shortcoming of the Li people's cottage like Shizidong.

"It's nothing, and you don't have to envy life here. If you wish, you can also come and stay here in the future. Fu Li spared no effort to sell the Haihan-style lifestyle to the Yellow Bird: "You can be like me, while studying and working here, the Haihan chiefs are happy to hand over some important work to our Li people to complete, they are not as hostile to us as the Han people of the Ming Dynasty, here we have no Han, Li and Miao, only the identity of Haihan!"

"Sounds good, but why are the Li people doing things for them, not them doing things for the Li people?" Huang Que was not immediately stopped by Fu Li's statement, but instead put forward his own opinion.

"That's because the chiefs are capable enough! Astronomy and geography are all-knowing, and you see that all the qiē in Victory Harbor were designed by the chiefs and then built little by little with the people here. What they can do, we can't do, but we can follow them to do more!" Fu Li pointed to the Shengli Port pier in the distance outside the window and said: "Now this is the most prosperous port on Qiongzhou Island, but the chiefs hope that one day the entire Qiongzhou Island can become the most prosperous area in the South China Sea! If the chiefs rule Qiongzhou Island one day, wouldn't it be a very interesting thing?"

"You mean...... Will Haihan one day occupy the place of the Ming Dynasty?" After all, Huang Que still felt the authority of the Ming Dynasty since he was a child, and he didn't dare to agree with the arrogant argument of Fu Li.

"There is no need for one day, you go out and stop someone on the street now and ask, who has the final say here, whether it is the Ming Mansion or the Supreme Haihan Executive Committee!" Fu Li smiled: "I guarantee you won't hear a second answer appear." The authority of the Executive Committee here has long surpassed that of Daming!"

Huang Que was puzzled: "But when I went ashore, I also saw the flag of the Ming Inspection Division on the wharf......

"The Daming Yulin Inspection Department is now under the orders of our Haihan Ministry of Justice. Seeing Huang Que's look of disbelief, Fu Li smiled: "I know you probably won't believe this kind of thing. We'll go to the dock and talk to the people from the Inspection Department, and you'll understand. ”

Of course, the Inspection Department is subordinate to the Yazhou Prefecture and has jurisdiction. However, in view of the current special political environment in Yazhou, all the local Ming official departments are under the orders of the Haihan Executive Committee, and this inspection department will naturally be no exception. As for Wei Ping, after tasting the sweetness, he had long since forgotten about the festival, and if it weren't for the fact that the Executive Committee still needs to maintain the existence of the inspection department, I'm afraid he would have stopped doing his old job a long time ago and applied for a naturalized citizen status with better benefits.

Of course. Wei Ping now has an informal establishment on the side of Haihan, in addition to the official position of inspecting the Ming Dynasty. Before that, the Hai Han militia launched a large-scale attack on Hue. The Executive Committee and the Yazhou government have set up a cooperative organization for the maintenance of law and order, the main purpose of which is to manage the recent influx of Ming immigrants into Sanya in the name of joint law enforcement. The main source of these immigrants is Liangguang, and the weight of Haihan in the hearts of new immigrants is obviously not as important as the authority of the Ming Dynasty, and the law enforcement actions of the police department are often resisted by new immigrants.

Under such circumstances, the Executive Committee had to once again sacrifice the tried and tested shield of the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, now the Yazhou government and the executive committee are basically wearing a pair of pants, and naturally they will not be too entangled in this "small problem". A joint law enforcement brigade was formed with the police department under the Haihan Executive Committee to manage civil law and order affairs in the area from the Liangjiang River Basin to Nanshan Town, which is actually the scope of the Sanya New Area planned by the Executive Committee.

And the leader of this temporary joint law enforcement brigade is Wei Ping, and the deputy is Ren Liang on Haihan's side. Of course, this kind of appointment must be a deputy with real power, and the main post is a temporary decoration. The purpose of adopting such an establishment is to facilitate the enforcement of the law against immigrants -- those who serve the Haihan will be managed according to the rules of the Haihan. If you don't obey the Haihan, then rule people with the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of the formulation and implementation of laws, Haihan's way is obviously more scientific and rigorous, and the Ministry of Justice in charge of Gu Kai has formulated a legal framework for all aspects of social life with reference to various professional laws in later generations, while the Daming law is mainly five punishments, ten evils, and eight discussions. Among them, there are 47 articles in the "Famous Laws". It's the outline of the whole law. The household law that is closely related to the general public is divided into seven volumes: "Household Service", "Field House", "Marriage", "Warehouse", "Course", "Money and Debt" and "Market", covering population, household registration, religion, land, taxation, servitude, marriage, banknote law, treasury, salt law, tea law, alum law, commercial tax, foreign trade, lending, market and other social fields.

The intention of the Executive Committee is to implement the Haihan legal system as early as possible in its own jurisdiction, so although it is generally the inspection department that comes forward to take people, the Haihan Ministry of Justice is responsible for the trial and execution. This strange situation can only appear in special periods. It was also used by later scholars as a research material for the history of law after a long time.

Half an hour later, Fu Li and Huang Que found Wei Ping on the dock of Sanya Port, where he was supervising a shipload of new immigrants from Guangzhou to assemble the whole team on the dock. In addition to commerce and trade, the department that Wei Ping usually deals with the most is the Ministry of Justice, and he naturally recognizes the little celebrity Fu Li in the ministry. After listening to Fu Li's explanation, Wei Ping motioned for them to come with him to the tent in the office.

"Do you see this seal? Yulin Inspection Division, do you recognize this thing?" Wei Ping picked up the official seal and handed it to Huang Que.

Huang Que looked at Fu Li, saw him nodding, and then took over to confirm it.

"How useful this thing can be, it still depends on how much combat power you have, and how much strength your backstage boss has. In the early years, there were often pirates ashore in Shengli Harbor, and even the guards set up by the Ming officials and soldiers were withdrawn, and the Yulin Inspection Department was just an empty signboard. Wei Ping said with a sigh: "I have been an inspector for four years, and I really came to Yulin to do things, in fact, it was after the Haihan people built Victory Port here." If there were no Haihan people, this place would probably still be a wasteland, so the Haihan people would take care of this place next, and I, Wei Ping, would be convinced. As for the Daming Inspection Division, it is actually really dispensable, if it weren't for the fact that some immigrants from the Ming Dynasty were not so peaceful, and the Executive Committee didn't want to make extraneous branches, this Inspection Department could have been abolished long ago. ”

Huang Que had been on the Han territory for a few days, but he also knew the general relationship between the upper and lower levels of the Ming officialdom system, and after listening to Wei Ping's statement, he couldn't help asking: "Then the inspection department obeys the orders of the Han people, and Yazhou doesn't care?"

"Lord Zhizhou also listens to the Executive Committee. Wei Ping said with a smile: "Lord Zhizhou's baby son-in-law, General Luo Shengdong of Yacheng Water Village, is now the largest smuggler of salt on Qiongzhou Island, and the source of goods is the Shengli Port Salt Farm, which side do you say Lord Zhizhou will help?"

"What about the capital city of Qiongzhou?" Huang Que continued to ask.

"Those officials in Qiongzhou Mansion City don't just want to make money, as for who is an official in Yacheng and who is in charge, they don't care at all. Wei Ping shook his head helplessly and said: "The Haihan Executive Committee sends at least tens of thousands of taels of silver to the capital city of Qiongzhou every year, and those who are officials will definitely give face to these silvers even if they don't give Haihan face." No matter what the Haihan people do in Yazhou, as long as they don't openly raise the flag to rebel, they won't care who is in charge here. ”

Speaking of which, Huang Que can probably also feel how much Haihan's prestige in the local area is. Since even official law enforcement agencies such as the Inspection Department are helping the Haihan people, it seems that the Haikou that Fu Li boasted about before may also be true. Thinking of this, Huang Que couldn't help but have more curiosity about the Haihan collective.
