The bolt pillar understands the young master, so he reminded Fan Wei to clean up the street immediately after taking office as the prefect.

The dung tax is not a harsh tax, but a tax that must be collected.

Because in a provincial capital city like Baoding, there are at least 10,000 heads of cattle and horses, camels and other livestock that come in and out every day, and if they are not rectified, there will be only one result, that is, Baoding City is full of stench and coaxing.

This has been proven by Jingshi.

Why did the emperor have to sprinkle water and sweep when he traveled, there was no other reason, but because the road was full of feces.

Many outsiders who came to Beijing for the first time were surprised to see that the feet of the Son of Heaven were filthy everywhere, "The northern land is full of filth, especially in Beijing, and they are naked during the day, they do not avoid officials, their bodies are blasphemous, and the villains are accustomed to each other and secretly dispel their respect."

The area around the Deshengmen school where Jia Liu was originally tested was the largest cattle, sheep and horse market in Beijing, and the manure was piled up like a hill.

This phenomenon is mainly due to the fact that the urban sewers left over from the Ming Dynasty have long been shut down, and the sanitation facilities in the city are also seriously insufficient, and there is a lack of thatched toilets.

For a hundred years, the ditch was impassable, so it was necessary to dig the ditch regularly.

In addition to human dung, there is also livestock dung on the streets, "left behind by people, camels, donkeys, mules, cows, horses, and dogs", and the stench rises with the wind, and the sour wind sweeps the face.

The livestock used by the Beijing division is much more than that of Baoding, and the result is that inside and outside the capital, in the streets and alleys, before and after the yamen of various ministries and courtyards, mule and horse manure is all over at any time, and in case of rain and snow, it is transferred into mud, and the smell is unbearable, just like a big dung factory.

The Westerners recorded what they saw and heard in the Qing Dynasty Jingshi, and the text boiled down to one sentence - "Where is this barbarian." ”

It was after the Tatar occupation of China that civilization miraculously disappeared in the East.

Of course, another reason why the stench is so bad is that the population is so dense that the rural areas around the city cannot digest the feces produced by millions of people.

The scale of Baoding is much smaller than that of Jingshi, but the first impression of Jia Liu is also stinky, and there is feces everywhere.

The thought of working in the city for a few years is a sure thing to do.

After all, he can't manage it at that time, and he can still do it with his own one-third of an acre.

But it was not easy to say directly why the governor's garrison was so dirty, so ventriloquist was used.

Those who can understand will definitely improve, and those who can't understand will be forgotten.

Seeing Fan Wei coming up, he couldn't help but ask him: "Did Director Yang mention you?" ”

"Well, after taking office, I will collect a large dung tax, and organize people to clean up the streets and city gates in different divisions, so as to ensure that adults no longer have to smell the smell."

Fan Wei has a very serious work attitude, and at the same time, he also reflects on why he didn't hear the meaning of the ghost family's words.

Since ancient times, only those who figure out their intentions can make progress and continue to improve.

"This is just the surface, the focus is on the environmental sanitation problem in the city to pay attention to, you take this, according to what is said in the book, a year down, you are the first in the world in the performance appraisal of the officials."

Fan Wei hurriedly took the booklet from the ghost family, and the cover was "Urban Construction and Development Planning".

After opening, there is a directory on the first page, which is sewer construction, public health construction, street environmental improvement, people's entertainment facilities construction, livestock management, etc., and the last directory is a landmark building.

In essence, except for the cement reinforced concrete Jia Liu couldn't get out for the time being, other things were available in the Qing Dynasty.

Since the Ming Dynasty, there has been sewer construction technology, but later generations used plastic pipes, and in these years, pottery pipes were used, or masonry was used to repair and repair them regularly.

Therefore, as long as Jia Liu is willing to do it, the people below can also do it seriously, he can definitely make Baoding the most beautiful and civilized city in the Qing Dynasty.

Serve as a benchmark.

It was undoubtedly his greatest political achievement as the governor of Zhili.

You can see it at a glance.

"For the sake of this prefect, for the sake of the people of Baoding, do you know how much heart I have broken?"

Jia Liubai glanced at the dog-headed military advisor, "I read that the Liu family asked me to open my heart last night, this time it will be cheaper for you, put away the booklet, do it according to the above, and if you need money, the province will solve some of it, and you can figure out the rest." In short, I have one request, that is, it will change every year, and it will change in three years, so that your political performance will be the first in the world in the evaluation of the officials, and you will be able to rise in the future, understand? ”

"It's true that adults are despicable"

Fan Wei subconsciously sniffed his somewhat sour nose, and made up his mind that if the adults were still worried about him sleeping, then grit his teeth and endure it.

Everything is for progress, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, not chilling.

"Don't say anything against your will, I'm still relieved that you can do something."

It's almost time to arrive at the governor's yamen, Jia Liu didn't want to say too much, but he still advised: "I let you think of your own way for the project funds, not for you to expropriate and expropriate, but to use your brains, for example, you can find a way to introduce private funds for project construction, don't just know how to reach out to the people to ask for money." Even if you collect taxes from the people, you must take them from the people and use them for the people, so that the people know where the money they pay is spent, so that you, the prefect, can be supported by the people. ”

"Understood, lowly understood!"

Fan Wei nodded without hesitation, the spirit of the ghost family who loves the people like a son has always been an example for him to learn.

Jia Liu nodded slightly, Baoding was right under his nose, whether Fan Wei was doing well or not, he could see it with his ass, so he was not afraid that Fan Wei would fool around behind his back.

Surrounded by civil and military officials such as Yang Jingsu, the political envoy of Zhili, Wan Chaoxing, and Wang Guangquan, the envoy of the procuratorate, they finally arrived at the future work unit - the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili.

The building is still very magnificent, sitting in the north and facing south, a typical architectural style of the northern government office, covering an area of not small from the periphery.

When I looked up, I saw a plaque, which was placed vertically instead of horizontally, with six big characters written on it: "Zhili Governor's Department".

There is also a group of closed courtyards outside the gate, which is composed of east and west class rooms, east and west gates, and light walls.

When the new Governor arrived, the relevant officials and subordinates of the Governor's Office lined up to greet him, and the overall atmosphere was similar to that of welcoming the leaders, except that there were fewer flags and banners.

The handover ceremony of the old and new governors has been arranged, and the venue is in the lobby.

The predecessor, Zhou Yuanli, was waiting in the lobby.

When Jia Liu arrived, he saw his seventy-year-old predecessor standing in front of the screen in the middle of the lobby, which was painted with cranes, sea, and sun, looking quite magnificent.

There are all kinds of public desks on the left and right, Hao sealed shelves, and even a Wanmin umbrella.

On behalf of the imperial court, the military aircraft department Manzhang Jingyijiang Atong military department staff Shiro Zhongyubao showed the relevant identity documents to connect with the officials in the court.

After that, Yi Jiang'a read out the holy decree of Jia Jia Shikai as the governor of Zhili, and then Jia Liu and Zhou Yuanli, the predecessors, symbolically politely said a few words, and then received the seal of the governor of Zhili from the other party, as well as the banner of the king's order.

Zhu Zhu and others checked a number of handover documents prepared by the former governor, that is, the four pillars of the old management, the new receipt, the dismissal, and the real four pillars.

The folk saying is called the inventory.

Shi Langzhong, an official of the Ministry of War, came to be a "supervisor member", and after the new and old governors were handed over, he signed and sealed them.

But this process is undoubtedly symbolic, because it is impossible for Jia Liu, the successor, to liquidate his predecessor.

This is the unspoken rule of officialdom.

That is, even if Zhou Yuanli left him some big holes, he had to go next, and then find a way to solve it himself, instead of impeaching this water control expert who returned to his hometown.

Just as he was the director of the Jingling Committee at the beginning, he couldn't settle the old accounts of his predecessor.

The four-pillar inventory was signed and sealed separately, which meant that the handover of the old and new governors was successfully completed.

Next, the old governor Zhou Yuanli said a few words to Jia Liu, the young governor, and the general meaning of the speech, Jia Liu listened to it similar to what he said in the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army.

That is, different words are used in different eras.

There is no qualitative change in the central meaning.

Lao Zhou said, Xiao Jia listened humbly, and from time to time said a few words under the governance of Lord Zhou, how Zhili is, and how he will be in the future.

It's all official words.

In the end, in a cheer, Zhou Yuanli and his family left the governor's yamen, where they had worked for two years, in a carriage.

At this point, the dust has settled.

Lao Zhou couldn't figure it out, Jia Liu wasn't sure, anyway, Lao Yang secretly told him that there were more than 30 carriages for Lao Zhou to move.

After receiving the big and small officials, Jia Liu looked at the lobby in front of him, where Li Wei, who was also from a donation background, had worked decades ago.

In another hundred years, a person named Shikai will also live here for a while.

Inherit the past, inherit the future!

After struggling for so many years, he finally has his own complete office organization, or the governor's yamen, Jia Liu's excitement can be imagined.

Touching every object in the governor's hall, there was a sigh in my heart, it was really like a mess in the world, who is a sage and who is evil?

When I looked up, I found that there was a large plaque with the four big characters "Branding Gong Shoumu" written on it, and I couldn't help but wonder who it was.

Yang Jingsu hurriedly said: "My lord, this plaque was given to Tang Zhiyu, the former governor of Zhili, in the imperial book of the first emperor. ”

"Ah, it was written by Yinzhen?"

Jia Liu called Yongzheng's name, which is particularly natural.

Lao Yang was slightly stunned, and naturally echoed: "It was written by the fourth elder brother." ”

Jia Liu smiled, Lao Yang is absolutely loyal, and he can develop into a club, and he will lead the formation of the Zhili Branch.

Suddenly, he looked at Lao Yang with a sideways face: "Brother Pu Yuan, there is a secret I want to tell you, but this matter involves Jiangshan Sheji, and I don't know if I can tell you. Because once this matter spreads, it may be a great disaster in the world. ”

The forehead suddenly became extremely serious and seemed to be very hesitant, which made Lao Yang subconsciously straighten his waist and said respectfully: "Since it is an adult's secret, then the subordinate officials don't listen." ”

This answer caught Jia Liu off guard, Lao Yang is not very good at praising him.

Just as he didn't know how to tell Lao Yang about this secret, the bolt column rushed in, holding an object that looked like a square wrapped in clothes, probably too excited to pay attention to the threshold under his feet, and almost tripped.

After stabilizing his body, he said excitedly: "Young master, what the demon said is right, the jade seal of the country is really in the well in the back wing of the governor's yamen!" ”

After that, he stepped forward and couldn't wait to open the package in his hand, revealing a jade seal with a corner of pure gold.

Whether it is jade or gold, there are traces of fire.

Ordered by the sky, the eight words of longevity and Yongchang are clearly visible.

There are also four words on the right side: "Heavenly Mandate Shishi".
