Chapter 48 Decentralization
Wu Zhi Shanshan came, which made everyone in the county government look sideways and secretly surprised.
This county magistrate is finally going to work on duty, and he doesn't know what kind of joke he is going to make! Everyone was speculating with a dark mind, and some people couldn't help but sneer when they thought about it, as if they had seen this embarrassing scene full of jokes for Lord Wu Zhi.
But how can Wu Zhi know the hidden psychology of these subordinates, he Shi Shiran walked into the county office, and saw many strange eyes in the leisurely stroll, he didn't care, smiled and greeted them one by one, and then stepped into the hall. He's going to have a meeting, a general meeting for all!
Wu Zhi had just sat down in the hall when he saw Ma Bantou come in with a pot of tea, poured him a cup of tea diligently, and then stood aside, bowed his eyebrows, and waited quietly. Wu Zhi picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, then put it down, and said to Ma Bantou with a smile: "This tea is okay!" You go and get everybody here, the county has something to say to everyone! ”
Ma Bantou was stunned when he heard this, nodded his head in agreement, bowed down, and went to gather everyone over. Before leaving, he was muttering in his heart: "Strange, this tea is okay?" ”
This tea is actually really not delicious! Wu Zhi knew in his heart that someone had deliberately changed the tea leaves in order to give him a dismount, or it was just a prank and wanted to see his jokes.
Wu Zhi looked at the clear soup and oligotea in his hand, and couldn't help but shake his head, with only a wry smile in his heart. It seems that his arrival is not very popular, some people really don't want to see themselves, and it is estimated that their arrival is blocking the official road of some people!
After almost all the officials in the county government arrived, Fan Sheng and Mr. Niu Ben walked into the hall one after the other, followed by Wang Mingyang, the chief bookkeeper, and Wei Gang, the county lieutenant, also came in one after another.
Hundreds of people crowded the hall at once, and the scene was in an uproar. Everyone was talking about it, and they thought in their hearts that the magistrate summoned everyone over today, and it was estimated that he was going to burn the first fire after the new official took office. So they were very curious and waited and watched.
After coming to Weishi County, during this time, although Wu Zhi did not go to work in the county office, he went to the streets and looked for people everywhere to inquire, and he had already had a preliminary understanding of the composition of the personnel in the county government of Weishi County, and also inquired about the names and origins of some important figures such as the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant. And I know from it that now the entire county government is actually divided into three camps, he himself is one side, Wei Gang and some officials are one side, Yu Wenqiong, Wang Mingyang, Fan Sheng, Niu Ben and many government officials are one side, three-legged! And I also know that in just five years, Weishi County has changed five county commanders, and he will be the sixth. Except for the former county commander Wu Cheng, who was lucky to replace him and returned to Beijing to take office, the first four people either died mysteriously or were demoted inexplicably, and the situation is very complicated! Wu Zhi obviously felt that in the county government of Weishi County, some people were waiting for themselves to cast their nets!
But Wu Zhi won't just crash into the net and let others slaughter him. He came to Weishi County to make a transition, not to make political achievements, and not to do coolies, why should he bother to work hard to fight with others, he just needs to spend this time steadily. As long as others do not affect his development plan, others can fight as much as they like, and he is happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
After Yu Wenqiong, Wang Mingyang, Wei Gang, Fan Sheng, and Niu Ben were seated, Wu Zhi immediately nodded to Ma Bantou, who was standing beside him. Ma Bantou comprehended, shouted heavily, and ordered everyone to be quiet, and the scene suddenly fell into silence.
"Hello everyone!" Wu Zhi sat firmly on the high-headed chair of the magistrate, slowly glanced at the people below, and spoke, after a pause, he started to speak in an official tone, word by word, and continued unhurriedly: "The main reason why this county is holding this meeting today is that there are a few things that need to be explained to everyone. The county hopes that everyone can act according to the rules, and do not violate the law, and the offenders will be severely punished! Speaking of this, he habitually picked up the teacup and prepared to take a sip to moisten his throat, but remembering the taste of the tea, he put it down again, so bear with it!
As soon as Wu Zhi finished saying this, the hearts of everyone below instantly exploded: "Who do you think you are?" Is the word a holy decree? And act according to the rules, don't disobey the yang and the yin, and punish the one who does not lend! Do we have to do what you have to do? ”
The crowd was unimpressed. Especially officials such as Yu Wenqiong and Wang Mingyang, they sneered in their hearts.
Wu Zhi glanced around at the people below again, and continued: "The first thing is that during the term of office in this county, the daily salary of everyone here will be increased by one hundred and fifty yuan, and it will be settled at the end of the month!" He deliberately made it bad, and when he said that, he stopped.
"What?!" This sentence was like a boulder thrown into a pool, and it suddenly made waves. When the people, especially the officials, were surprised, they thought they had heard it wrong, and they were dumbfounded, and then they were ecstatic and jumped for joy. They never expected that the first fire of this new magistrate would burn like this! Burn their blood boiling!
Raising the daily wage by 150 yuan is equivalent to doubling their salary! Can they not say yes? Absolutely not, who will have trouble with money? So, for this one, they must be 100% supportive!
"Master Wu, it is a good thing to raise salaries, but where does this money come from? We don't have that much extra money in our county's accounts! Yu Wenqiong looked at the elated appearance of the officials in front of her, frowned, sneered, and said coldly casually, pouring a basin of cold water on everyone's hearts.
"Yes, Master Wu, we can't afford this money!" When Wang Mingyang, Fan Sheng and Niu Ben heard what the county lord said, their eyes lit up, and they also casually agreed.
They all decided that this magistrate was really not a good person, and he didn't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt were expensive, and he was a scholar, so he didn't have to do anything!
When the officials heard this, they were immediately disappointed that the eggplant was like frost, and they were too happy too early!
"You don't need the county to pay for it, the county will pay for it!" Seeing this, Wu Zhi smiled and hurriedly added.
"Ahh "What!" The next sentence was even more like thunder, which suddenly shocked everyone, and everyone exclaimed in surprise, and everyone was completely messy. Yu Wenqiong, Wang Mingyang and the others were also shocked and jumped up, dumbfounded, and looked at Wu Zhi in disbelief.
This magistrate is crazy! They hadn't seen such a crazy prefectural order since ancient times!
As the saying goes, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver! People sharpen their heads and drill up, isn't it just for the snowflakes that are rolling in? People are accustomed to seeing the prefects and prefects who fight for money, but they have never seen the county orders that were poured out of the country and pasted to their subordinates in the past. Wu Zhi's actions are like a shock, unheard of!
Why did Wu Zhi put the silver upside down to the officials? It's not about buying people's hearts! He is now starting to have money, and spending four or five hundred yuan a month is just a drop in the bucket for him, but this money can be used to buy the hearts of the officials, so that their hearts will be towards him and follow him, so that they will not have to worry about them stumbling on him in the future. Therefore, no matter how Wu Zhi looks at this deal, he thinks it is very cost-effective, using the way of soldiers, attacking the heart, and at the same time, he can also disintegrate the camp of some political enemies from within the county government and reduce the resistance to his actions.
The scene was jubilant, Wu Zhi had no choice but to stop first, and hurriedly signaled to the horse squad next to him.
"Let's be quiet! Listen to the county lord finish speaking! Ma Bantou shouted loudly. There was obvious sincerity and respect in his words.
When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped celebrating and talking, and looked at Wu Zhi one after another, their eyes were no longer the initial snubbing and contempt, and they were full of respect.
"The second thing is that this county is not here to fight for power! The county is not in good health, and since he was a child, he has suffered from old cold legs, and he will be swollen and painful if he is overworked. Therefore, in the future, the affairs of Weishi County will depend more on everyone present. "Wu Zhi plans to put down the power in his hands, so that the subordinates who want to control the power have something to do, so that they will not bother him! Therefore, he has already thought of this set of rhetoric, everything is going to the pain, yes!
Got old cold legs at a young age? Isn't that a lie? Everyone didn't believe him in their hearts, and they despised him very much, this young magistrate dared to make up such a lame excuse in order to ignore political affairs!
"First, in the future, the affairs of Weishi County will be presided over by Lord Yuwen, including all affairs such as money, grain, household treasury, personnel appointments, etc., and the county will only be in charge of checking, printing and grasping the direction! If you have something to do in the future, you can just find Lord Yuwen, you don't have to ask me! Wu Zhi glanced at Yu Wenqiong and said slowly word by word. Since Yu Wenqiong is so keen on authority, then Wu Zhi might as well push the boat down the river and put down the power in his hands, and give him enough authority to satisfy his desire? !
As soon as he finished saying this, it was like thunder blowing up the river, and the waves suddenly broke out, which frightened everyone a lot, and they were all stunned.
Especially Yu Wenqiong, who was even more surprised and jumped up like a lightning strike, looking at Wu Zhi dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief and ecstasy. Happiness came too quickly and too suddenly, and he found that his brain was completely insufficient, and it had become a mess, like a dream.
Wang Mingyang, Wei Gang, Fan Sheng and Niu Ben were also confused, they were also stunned by what Wu Zhi said, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
This is the effect that Wu Zhi wants. He glanced at the people below, then at Yuwen Qiong, and then said, "Lord Yuwen, the affairs of Weishi County will be entrusted to you in the future!" You bother to try to do a good job in Weishi County! ”
"Thank you, sir! I will do my best under the next and live up to the trust of adults! Yu Wenqiong was still immersed in surprise, and when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said respectfully, this time, he finally knows how to respect people.
"Second, in the future, everyone must perform their duties, strive to do their own work, and don't slack off! Third, in the future, everyone must obey the leadership and arrangement of Lord Yuwen, and work together to do a good job in Weishi County! Fourth, don't know the law and break the law, oppress the good, and do more good things for the people! Seeing that his expected effect had been achieved, Wu Zhi didn't plan to sell Guan Zi anymore, and said what he wanted to say in one go.
After speaking, Wu Zhi's mouth was dry, and he didn't care whether the tea was good or bad, so he picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all, only to find that the taste of the tea had completely changed and became mellow and delicious. It turned out that while Wu Zhi was saying the second thing, Ma Bantou had quietly run to the tea room, took out the best tea leaves in the county office, re-brewed a pot of tea for him, and quietly replaced it with a new teacup and poured new tea.
Wu Zhi looked at the teacup in his hand, knew it in his heart, and smiled.
His smile made everyone below suddenly feel that their county magistrate was so handsome and chic, and for the first time, they felt that their county magistrate was so kind and lovely!
Wu Zhi's operation made everyone in the county government happy! He himself became a shopkeeper, and from time to time he went to the county office to sit and drink tea, and then went to the streets to wander around, and when he got home, he teased Jin Lian and Xiao'e to be happy, doing some experiments or other things, but he also felt more relaxed and comfortable.
Intentionally planting flowers and flowers, unintentionally planting willows and willows! Wu Zhi just wanted a smooth transition, but he never thought that he would completely delegate power to his subordinates, but he would also achieve himself.
County Chengyu Wenqiong has obtained the power he dreamed of, without the original intention of being the enemy of Wu Zhi, and without fighting, he is full of spirit and conscientiousness in his work; Moreover, he has been operating in Weishi County for many years, deep-rooted, the tiger is still there, and all his subordinates also obey his command, and work hard, and soon, he actually governs Weishi County in an orderly and prosperous manner, and the people of the county all applaud!
Wu Zhi's notoriety as a "madman", "straw bag", and "a scumbag" also disappeared almost overnight, and the reputation of "handsome son", "indifferent fame and fortune", and "good county order" quickly spread throughout Weishi County, and everyone knew and praised it.
