Chapter 538: The Power of the Position

However, the integration of the three powers looks so awesome, but in this great Chen Dynasty, there are three powers, and if you don't exercise them, it's just good-looking, but once they are exercised, they will offend the gangs that occupy the rights and interests of the township!

At first glance, it seems that he wants to push Zhang Hongyi's case into the fire pit, but if you think about it seriously, as long as Zhang Hongyi is not stupid to provoke gangs, and he will live a year or two with his position, it is an extraordinary qualification, and he will be promoted a lot in the future!

Zhang Zhongjun didn't think about it so much, he heard that the governor of Heyuan Mansion patrolled the township, as the name suggests, it can run around all towns and villages in the province, which can be said to be the most suitable position for him who wants to dig up treasures everywhere, so he naturally immediately thanked him.

As for the previous agreement with Chen Yifeng to go to Nanlin Town, Zijin County to be the mayor, then I'm sorry, we are eight-rank officials, and we can't be the mayor of the town.

As the middle-aged official who was like a weak chicken rose up to show off that he could control the unruly government officials of the whole government with almost no strength in his hands, the other officials all entered a state of self-satisfaction.

Although he was helpless to see them pretending to be forced one by one, he had to put on a flattering appearance of his younger brother, but Zhang Zhongjun also knew some things that outsiders didn't know from these top officials in Heyuan Mansion.

Not to mention anything else, the force of the government alone is strong, and the local gangs don't know how much, and the imperial court must still have all kinds of hidden hole cards, and they are really not afraid of gang rebellion and trouble. It's just that the government habitually ignores the rights and interests of the countryside, and in order to save trouble, it directly throws the countryside to the gangs.

That mentality is the same as that of the previous dynasties, they all felt that the countryside had no interests, but there were a lot of, and they didn't bother to pay attention to it for the sake of saving trouble, as for handing over the countryside to the local tyrants and gentry or gangs, it made no difference to the government.

Anyway, they just need to pay the prescribed taxes, and as for how the gangs make a living in the villages, that's the gang's business!

After understanding the government's thoughts, Zhang Zhongjun could only sigh helplessly, no wonder it has been rumored outside that the gang has taken the jurisdiction of the countryside from the imperial court because of its strength.

As for these guys who can only be in the wind and snow, it is estimated that these rumors will not reach their ears, and even if they do, I am afraid they will think that they are just conjectures.

In fact, it is also true, knowing that the strength of the government is so strong, the more senior officials are, the more calm they are, and they can laugh at any rumors. The grassroots officials below were terrified.

It's just this thought, after the fact, Zhang Zhongjun visited several chief officials one by one, got the appointment letter, and after seeing the content on it, he immediately flipped it.

"Damn, I used to think that the imperial court was strong, so I didn't care about those gangs controlling the countryside, but now it seems that this imperial court may not last long!

It's no wonder that Zhang Zhongjun is like this, the three appointment documents, the township inspection document issued by the government, are formal and decent, that is, Zhang Zhongjun's identity can be inspected in any village within the whole government, and the following counties should be supported.

What really surprised Zhang Zhongjun was the document issued by the inspection battalion and the head of the government service, who issued the document that Zhang Hongyi had the status of a magistrate, and could accept and investigate cases in all villages in the province, and the stolen goods found could be used as case handling funds.

And according to the rules, this pusher has a fast hunting team, that is, fifty people, and can also have appropriate white service coordination.

The 50 catchers are within the establishment and can eat official rations. And the white servant is as much as you can feed, you can recruit as much as you can. With this document alone, Zhang Zhongjun is pulling out hundreds of thousands of white servants, and they are all idle, and they are not breaking the law!

The documents issued by the inspection battalion were even more terrifying: First, they confirmed Zhang Hongyi's identity as an inspector, and then allowed him to have the power to patrol and arrest thieves and smugglers in various villages, and allowed him to set up patrols on his own, and then the proceeds of the anti-smuggling could be directly used as funds! As for the number of patrolmen? There is no limit!

Those fast catchers and white servants are still officials, they are dressed in the costumes of government officials, and their weapons are all quick knives, iron chains, and iron rulers.

However, the patrolmen who are responsible for catching thieves and smuggling belong to a semi-military organization, and they can not only conduct military training, but also equip them with bows, crossbows, armor, shields, mounts, and other things! As long as you have money, no one will gossip about you when you are completely militarized!

What is even more excessive is that the power of this patrol to arrest thieves and anti-smuggling has already infringed on the power of other departments, one arrest of thieves is to infringe on the power of the officials to arrest quickly, and the other is to infringe on the power of households in charge of salt, iron, grain, and other materials.

But it's very weird, not to mention that the boss of the inspection battalion who laid the paperwork didn't think so, and the boss of the household didn't think so, and he all patted Zhang Zhongjun on the shoulder and said do a good job!

Zhang Zhongjun knew that when the government abandoned the countryside to gangs, the so-called arrest of thieves and smuggling was only carried out in the city, and the government outside the city would not deal with it. Therefore, throwing these powers to yourself will not infringe on the interests of these officials in the city.

However, as long as you have the ability, you can completely take over all the territory outside the city of Heyuan Prefecture, and you can also form an army to take over the economy openly, and finally automatically form a separatist warlord!

Moreover, in all dynasties, as long as the power of raising troops, raising money and appointing personnel is decentralized, it means that the court is about to be torn apart. These officials who have read history books will not understand this, but why do they not care about throwing such power to themselves, the newcomers of officialdom?

Maybe because gangs have existed for hundreds of years, and for hundreds of years, they have appointed their own people, recruited their own people, and solved the problem of money and food by themselves, and for hundreds of years, there has been no gang to form the ability to destroy the imperial court, plus the imperial court is extremely strong, so it is not a habit to take this kind of thing that can divide the imperial court!

It's just that don't look at the fact that these adults in the government give the documents refreshed, and they also give the power to do their best, it is completely like you have the ability, pull out a large army, and completely control the whole township is legal.

But not only did they not give a single copper plate of funds, but they also did not give a single person, and some only represented three legal documents and represented powers.

And more importantly, if Zhang Zhongjun really wanted to exercise these three rights, the first thing he would encounter was not the disgust of the villages below, but the thunderous blow of Fengwutang!

Because Zhang Zhongjun's three powers are limited to the countryside, the right to inspect, the right to public security, and the right to anti-smuggling are all limited to the village level, and the countryside of Heyuan Mansion is the territory of Fengwutang.
