In addition, the Da Ming Law clearly stipulates that retired sergeants (and disabled sergeants, not very heavy ones) come back, and the first one is given priority, and the second one can be re-elected.

The chief of the big security has a lot of money, very little, five times a year, tax exemption of one percent, and two points for the school examination (including the imperial examination) for immediate relatives.

The chief of the chief is preferentially recruited from among the retired junior officers, and the same term is once every five years, and if there are no retired officers, they are selected from twenty chief officers.

There are more than one million households in Suzhou, and there are six or seven thousand people in the chief of the big security, and the annual expenditure of the prefect's yamen is not small, which is 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

Of course, this is really a small amount of money for the Suzhou government.

However, many big security chiefs do not lack money in their families, nor do they lack this percentage of taxes, what they lack is the two points of the exam, which is very important.

This big chief is very competitive every time.

Many people are willing to serve as soldiers in order to be a security chief, a big security chief.

The imperial court now recruits new soldiers every year, and there are a lot of registrations in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and many people are rushing to come back in the future to become the chief of the security guard, so as to add points to their families' exams.

There is also a village chief above the chief of the big security, Hong Xichu first circled according to the number of households, and later found that there were remote and sparsely populated places, so he changed to a certain adjacent place according to the region, and it became a village, and the number of natural households with a large population is more, and the number of natural households with a small population is less.

Like Suzhou, there are basically about 1,000 households in each village.

Therefore, the Dabao of the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the village of the later generations, and the village of the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the town of the later generations.

The requirements of the village chief of Daming are high, first of all, literacy, and then primary school, middle school, and university are preferred.

Many people who failed the imperial examination after graduating from university are willing to come back to be village heads.

As a village head, he has the power, like a small county official, although he is not included in the organization, he also has a salary.

The village chief has 20 yuan a year, which is not much, and the seven counties and one state of Suzhou add up to more than 1,000 village heads, and the annual expenditure is tens of thousands of yuan.

The village chief's family is also tax-exempt, and the immediate family member will be given five points for the exam.

Before this restructuring, many security chiefs, chief security chiefs, and village chiefs were all part-time in the inspection department, such as rounding up criminals and sealing up intersections and ports.

After this restructuring, these people will not participate in the work of the inspection department, but they will have to cooperate with the work of going to the countryside at the county government level.

To put it simply, if there are any new orders and policies from the imperial court, the county capital and the prefecture will be transmitted to the villages, and the chief of the county and the village will cooperate in the implementation.

Gu He's current power is quite large, and there are seven canons in the fishing room, and Qin and Han have set up four departments for him.

The first is the Public Security Section: handling cases and arresting prisoners, and the second is the Patrol Section: the household registration management and statistics of territorial personnel (in the past, the local Jinyiwei was responsible for the Fucheng), and now all of them are handed over to their office, but the data must be reported to Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei will contact and cooperate to manage the household registration of the population in the Fuzhong. The third is the urban management department: the local health city order, including the construction of the sewer in the Beijing division, is the cooperation of the people who catch the house, which is equivalent to the responsibility of the urban management in later generations, and the fourth is the urban health department: guarding the city gate.

Within three days, he would recommend four section officials to Qin Han and assign more than 200 people in his hands.

After Gu He returned to the yamen, he immediately gathered a group of confidants and miscellaneous officials to talk about it.

Everyone was shocked at first, and then they were all red-eyed, wanting to get some real power positions.

One of the henchmen was a former household warden, surnamed Ding, and the Ding pawn said strangely: "Isn't the household registration of the population in charge of the household?" Why did you hand it over to us to capture the house? ”

Gu He shook his head and said, "The prefect said that the household is in charge of big data. ”

“。。” All.

Gu He didn't know what big data was, so he could only say, "Let's put it this way." ”

"What we manage in Suzhou is how many households, how many men, how many women, how many children, the elderly, how many new people are added every day, and how many people die."

"What we care about is how many outsiders are in Suzhou every day, and how many locals are working outside."

"The main thing is the management of mobile personnel to prevent fugitives from other places."

"To put it simply, the people in the house don't need to know the people in the state city, but the people in our house hunting patrol section must be familiar with every household in the state city."

"In the past, this was Jinyiwei doing, but now that it's in our hands, I feel that there is a bit of a shortage of manpower."

There are only about 200 people in total, and the Demography Department plans to put about 100 people.

However, it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 households in Suzhou, that is, each person must know 1,000 households.

Ding Dianguan exclaimed, how is this enough? How do you see it?

Gu He couldn't help it, and said with a wry smile: "That's what Jinyiwei did before, Jinyiwei is capable?" Can't we do it? ”

"I run 20 households every day, and I finish it in 50 days."

Ding Dian's official said, after a few days, I will forget it again, and I don't know it.

"So run more, each person scribbles, and everyone is familiar with the people on their own territory and their families."

"After running for a few years, you will be familiar with it, and if there are any unfamiliar faces in the future, everyone will be able to recognize them at a glance."

"We don't have to do anything else, just run the film?" Someone asked in confusion.

"Yes." Gu Hedao: "At that time, there will be specially made clothes, called patrol uniforms, and they can also be equipped with knives. ”

"With a crossbow."

"Every two or three people, patrolling the streets, walking from house to house, is mainly to know the people in their own area."

"When there is an emergency, deal with it in time, and if there is nothing to do, I walk on the street all day long and chat with the people."

“。。” The crowd was speechless.

Gu He couldn't be embarrassed when he saw everyone, it was estimated that some people were already thinking about it, and they were looking for a place to hide and rest everywhere.

He immediately said: "Your Majesty said that this is called a patrol police, you must patrol up and run the film, you can't be lazy, the local Jinyi guard will investigate and secretly visit, and if you catch being lazy, you will be dismissed." ”

"Grass." Everyone immediately scolded.

"At the end of each year, we will also take an assessment to see if everyone is familiar with the situation in the area, shops, houses, geographical locations, names of family owners, etc."

"It's not a lot more than before, and it's tiring to run every day." Someone complained.

How could I have been walking the streets so much every day?

"So your salary has also been improved, you can be a chief if you do a good job, and if you become an official, you don't have to go to the street." Gu Hedao.

“。。” Everyone's eyes lit up in unison, as if this was the truth.

In the past, everyone didn't expect it, and every day was a mess, but now you can be promoted if you do a good job, which is really exciting.

But the bigger key is that His Majesty has given everyone a raise.

"Your Majesty knows that everyone is hard, so the salaries of the patrol police, including our arresting houses, are the highest." Gu He reported good news, and everyone was overjoyed.

You must know that when Zhu Gaoxu raised the army, five coins of silver, that is, five hundred wen a month, attracted many military households.

Of course, now Daming has money, so it will come out so high.

"Six days and one day off, Your Majesty said that it is called a single holiday, and you can take a day off." Gu He said again.

Everyone cheered again, and some people shouted directly, Long live Your Majesty, and then everyone hugged their fists one after another, shouting Long live Your Majesty in the direction of Jingshi.

Gu He has four sections, more than 100 people in the patrol section and more than 40 people in the public security section.

There are more than 50 people guarding the city gates, and there will be four gates in Suzhou, and only four people need to be put in each gate.

Sixteen a day, one rotation every three days, and a few more people are substituted for sick leave.

The city guard department works once every three days, and many people still want to go to the city guard department, but guarding the city gate is boring, and the salary is low, only two.

Of course, this will be considered a high salary, and ordinary soldiers in the Ming Dynasty only have this amount of money a month.

There are more than 60 people, who were placed in the city management department by Gu He.

The main thing is to inspect the order of each market, don't block the road, and then see where it is not clean, and if it needs to be cleaned, it must be dealt with.

But it is impossible for such a few people to clean the whole city of Suzhou.

Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor also thoughtfully thought of a word for them, called outsourcing.

The city management department bids for bidding in Suzhou, with 20,000 taels per year, and is responsible for the sanitation and cleaning of the whole city.

This tender is quite interesting, probably a new initiative of Zhu Gaoxu, and it was shot upside down.

From 20,000 taels downwards.

As a result, a local green skin surnamed Ma was finally auctioned for 14,000 taels.

That is, the Suzhou government pays him 14,000 taels a year, and he is responsible for cleaning up the garbage on the street, especially the most cluttered places such as vegetable farms.

The garbage decorated in the people's own homes also needs to be pulled to the designated place and disposed of by the contact surnamed Ma.

The man surnamed Ma pulled up a team of fifty people, got a few wagons, and got going.

He thinks very beautifully, each person produces fifteen taels a year, fifty talents are a few hundred, and it doesn't cost much to eat, and he earns more than 10,000 taels of Suzhou Mansion a year.

Unexpectedly, Suzhou City is relatively large, there is garbage everywhere, and the city management department turns around the street every day, and when it turns to the dirty one, he will be notified to do it.

More than fifty people are not enough to be busy all day.

The surname Ma complained bitterly, and increased the manpower again and again.

A year later, he had nearly 500 people in his hands, and he was barely able to do it, but he was tired, and then he knew that the money of the imperial court was not easy to earn.

In short, Zhu Gaoxu took Suzhou as a pilot project this time, and the restructuring was very large, and it basically developed for future generations, and comprehensively strengthened and improved the economy, civilization, public health, household registration, and all aspects.

The functions of the various yamen have also become more and more perfect, and the division of labor is clear.

In order to prevent the staff from cheating and cheating, especially some related households who take money and do not do anything, the imperial court also stipulated that every yamen and every subject must be voted by the undergraduate at the end of the year.

For example, there are more than 50 people in the urban health department, the person in charge and the deputy do not participate, and the other personnel vote for excellent, qualified and unqualified.

If the excellent rate reaches a quarter, that is, 25 out of 100 people vote for you excellent, and you will be rewarded with an extra month's salary, if 50 out of 100 people vote for you excellent, the reward will be more, and if more than 70% of you are excellent, you will be credited with merit, and you will be promoted to an official for three consecutive years.

If the same unqualified reaches one-tenth, three months' salary will be deducted for the first time, and the award will be given to the excellent, and more than one-tenth will be dismissed in the second year.

If it reaches 50 percent, it will be dismissed directly.

In later generations, the leaders generally named who is excellent, and basically they will not be unqualified, unless they really offend the leaders, even if some will vote, they will vote blindly, and sometimes someone will greet and specify who to vote for.

The person in charge of Daming's side does not participate, and the staff votes by themselves, and it is also a secret ballot.

Don't be afraid of offending the relatives of the leader, because no one knows that you voted for it.

But most people didn't feel the threat of this vote, and many people didn't think so, especially some related households, didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhu Gaoxu is not doing this to get the so-called master.

He is a person who wants to be lazy and not do a good job, because many officials are now the family members and relatives of officials.

If you don't do this, these people will take his Zhu Gaoxu's salary and do nothing, and in the long run, Daming will be full of people who eat empty salaries and don't do things.

Whoever doesn't work hard and wants to eat empty salary, votes for him at the end of the year.

In the fifteenth year of Hongxi, Suzhou's pilot restructuring began vigorously, Yan Xiaoshao appeared as the first female official in the Ming Dynasty, and she was also on the Daming Daily, and the world was shaken.

But on the same day, the newspaper publicized many female officials in history, even female emperors, including foreign ones, and even female kings in the eastern country.

In fact, there is no need for newspapers to deliberately publicize it, Zhu Gaoxu has been on the throne for more than ten years, and the national ideology has been greatly inspired, and new students have entered the society year after year, and their ability to accept them far exceeds that of before.

Confucianism is being phased out.

——

Tao Xiaowang is the nephew of Tao Jiangzhi, the secretary of the ceremonial room.

Tao Jiangzhi is a local, went to middle school, did not be admitted to university, Hong Xi entered Suzhou Mansion in the twelfth year, his family was relatively rich, and the prefect at that time had a relationship, plus he went to school, was a student of Hong Xichao, not a former scholar, so he first became a miscellaneous job, and waited for two years, and made up for the rite room in the fourteenth year of Hongxi.

This time the restructuring, because of the expansion of the ten rooms, Tao Jiangzhi performed well before, and he was added to the secretary of the ceremonial room, and he had the same level as the officials, and he was the ninth grade.

Now the Tao family is awesome, and the family is official.

Tao Xiaowang entered the yamen last year, and before he worked as an archer in the inspection department, and later turned into a tunya, this time he was restructured and entered the fishing room.

I heard that the patrol section has a high salary, and asked my uncle Tao Jiangzhi to intercede with Gu He and came to the patrol department.

Tao Xiaowang used to work in Qingpi, he was impatient in doing things, and he didn't take it seriously after he came to the patrol department.

Although his uncle Tao Jiangzhi reminded him many times that he would vote at the end of the year, Tao Xiaowang thought, who would dare to vote for me?

My uncle is a ceremonial officer, Zheng Jiupin, and he has a good relationship with Gu He.

The restructuring began in February of the 15th year of Hongxi and ended in April.

In mid-April, Tao Xiaowang held a meeting with the patrol department, and everyone received a new uniform, patrol uniform, and the imperial court required each person to manage 1,000 households, the first 60 days or so, 20 households a day, first know and understand the 1,000 households they manage, and then sort out the form, statistically summarize, and record a copy of the prefect's yamen, a copy of the capture house, and a copy of themselves.

It is required to be completed by the end of June.

Tao Xiaowang originally thought it was a good errand, but he didn't expect to run when he came up, there was no way, he could only change his uniform every day like all the inspectors, run one household at a time, know the owners of each family, the location, and if the area is divided into shops, he also needs to know the shopkeeper and other personnel.

Before the Hongxi Dynasty, everyone hoped that the more local shops they managed, the better, but now it is not popular, many shops do not need to give them face, merchants pay taxes on time, and the imperial court treats them quite preferentially.

So it's not a good thing that there are more shops now.

Fortunately, Tao Xiaowang was divided into almost all residential houses, so the task was relatively easy.

In this way, he ran for 70 days before he finished all the runs, tired and half dead, in his spare time, he scolded his mother every day, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and faintly scolded the current emperor.

He came in to enjoy happiness, and he originally wanted to eat empty salary, so he knew that this three-way money was so difficult to earn.

But this is not over, after entering July, the imperial court is doing things again.
