Jia Liu couldn't help but ponder.

This time he went to the local area to take up a job, so he must set fire.

He can't show his ability without showing it.

Generally, arson is just three things: one is to rectify the administration of officials; two is to clean up accumulated cases; three is to promote water conservancy.

Reorganizing the administration of officials and cleaning up accumulated cases is essentially the same thing. Generally, major unjust, false and wrong cases involve the administration of officials, because without corrupt officials, there will be no unjust, false and wrong cases, or relatively few.

The reason why Sun Lehe's case was made unjustly by officials at all levels in Zhili was that Zhao Bingen used the money to connect all links.

So, he was going to use Sun Le and the unjust case to deal with it.

First take down the officials involved in the case, then dig deep from these officials, use points to lead the surface, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and you can dig out hundreds of corrupt officials.

If it was a little more ruthless and continued to expand, it would probably overturn the Zhili officialdom.

The reason is that few officials from the Qing Dynasty really had clean butts.

The famous Liu Yong and Ji Yun are both corrupt officials, let alone others.

In this way, he realized the name of the Qingtian and became the only old Nascent Soul monster in the Qing Dynasty.

Once the new policy is completed and the new army is released, looking at the world, there are at most a few golden elixirs, so why worry about the failure of the emperor's career?

But what Lao Yang said makes sense and is an objective fact.

There are thousands of officials of all sizes in Zhili, involving military, political and criminal systems. If Jia Liu, the new governor, is strictly arrested, he will definitely be in trouble. This will be two consequences.

First, Zhili officials collectively boycotted the new governor;

Second, the Zhili officialdom has been paralyzed.

No matter which result is, it will be unfavorable to Jia Liu.

Without an official to do his job for him, he, the governor, is nothing.

It is not without precedent for officials to boycott the governors sent by the court. In the late Qing Dynasty, officials collectively boycotted the court, which made Cixi helpless.

Jia Liu came to Zhili to do things. If he spent all his energy on fighting wits and courage, or even ruthlessness with the officials below, it would undoubtedly be a reversal of the cart before the horse.

Therefore, Yang Jingsu’s reminder is reasonable.

I knew that Lao Yang had pointed it out, and when he had an idea, he asked him what he thought.

"The officials involved in this case can be punished seriously, and the subordinates will never shelter them. However, the person involved in this case is limited to the people involved and should not be expanded."

Yang Jingsu gave him thoughtful suggestions.

After all, the prince is young and this is the first time he is in charge of the local situation. He must not do it by his own nature, as it will easily mess up the situation.

Therefore, Sun Lehe's case can be investigated in depth, but it cannot be digged in depth, otherwise everyone who is an official will be in danger and this mess will not end.

After listening to Lao Yang's suggestion, Jia Liu frowned: "How can that be done? An ordinary murder case in Ansu County can lead to more than ten officials, including provincial and provincial prefectures. I don't know if there are such cases in other places. If you don't investigate and deal with them strictly, you will be fair to the people. I, as the governor, might as well go home to sell sweet potatoes."

Lao Yang hurriedly said: "Sir, what a junior official means is that all the accumulated cases in the province can be cleaned up, and the administration of officials should be rectified. However, officials who had problems in the past can give them the opportunity to make meritorious service and make them self-sufficiency. If they still do not know how to restrain themselves, they will still commit corruption, corruption and abuse the law, and protect the real murderer, then they will never tolerate it and will be punished severely."

"Um?"

Jia Liu felt that Lao Yang’s proposal was a bit familiar. He was so weird that the bun in his hand subconsciously moved forward.

"Old man is not a sage, so who can be without mistakes?"

Lao Yang started from the overall situation and begged the prince not to be anxious to achieve political achievements and to slowly plan for it.

Otherwise, something big will happen, which will be unfavorable to stability.

"Forget it, it's difficult for ten years to go through. It's not easy for the court to train an official. So, you send a document to the subordinates in the name of the governor. First, you must highlight the determination to supervise the supervision and rectify the administration, and second, let the subordinates who have problems take the initiative to admit the criminal penalties."

Jia Liu adopted the reasonable suggestion of Lao Yang, a local snake, and added a prop to the proposal to discuss the crime.

It is not the fact that we make money by cracking down on corruption and rectifying the administration of officials, but to raise funds for the upcoming new Zhili policy.

"The officials involved in the Sun Lehe case do not have to pay the criminal bill. If you ask them to take off their clothes and go to the Governor's Office to listen to the Hou's handling. If you refuse to take them away, then it's not for this Governor to ask for the king's flag."

The Sun case was Jia Liu's first shot in the sky, and the officials involved must be severely punished, and this is not negotiable.

Lao Yang had no objection to this. Even though the prefect of Baoding, Song, was promoted by him personally when he was the governor, the deputy envoy of the Censorate Department had often given him gifts during the holidays.

There is no way, who made them hit the gun of the prince?

Besides, Sun Lehe's case is indeed too rough.

It is inevitable to cut a few heads.

Jia Liu asked Lao Yang again how much money is in the Zhili vassal treasury now.

Lao Yang said that there are about one million taels, and this year the summer tax can be collected about two million taels, and the deduction of the regular donation surplus can be at least one.5 million taels.

"This year, the summer tax in this province will not be paid to the Ministry of Revenue. After you go back, you will make a detailed list of the salary of officials in this province. After I take office, I will institutionalize the salary of officials in this province."

Lao Yang was the governor, and the salary payment of officials was the head of the governor's office. Jia Liu had to straighten out the Zhili finance, so he had to rely on Lao Yang.

His salary for the Governor of Zhili is paid by the Ministry of Revenue every October, and has nothing to do with Zhili finance, but the central finance affairs.

The same is true for the banner officer. Every year, the Ministry of Revenue allocates the money to each chief yamen, and then the chief yamen pays it to the banner officer himself or his family.

Lao Yang was a little confused and didn't know what the son-in-law meant by institutionalizing salary.

Jia Liu roughly explained that after he took office, all officials and employees who enjoy the salary of clean bank (usually above the seventh rank) in Zhili Province should be open and transparent.

For example, Yang Jingsu, the governor, had a formal salary of only 155 taels, while the integrity silver was between 10,000 taels and 16,000 taels.

Under the new system, the salary and the insured silver merger will be merged, and 15,000 taels will be given.

Based on the purchasing power of one tael of silver, Lao Yang can raise tens of millions of yuan a year.

Specifically, there is a standard reference for how much is given to maintain a clean silver.

Lao Yang deserves to be a governor, and he will understand it as soon as he hears it. He immediately pointed out that the corresponding salary can be formulated according to the annual performance of the officials.

If the assessment is excellent, the maximum amount will be allocated.

If the assessment is average, the mid-value will be allocated.

If the assessment is particularly bad, the minimum is allocated.

In the past, local officials actually paid for the maintenance of clean banks at the top level. This has a lot of disadvantages and it is easy to generate power and money transactions.

For example, the upper part is fully allocated to the lower part of the 3,000 taels of clean silver. The problem is that the lower part may not get all of them, and it may only get 2,000 taels.

Where is the other 1,000 taels?

The problem lies here.

opaque.

In the future, wage payment will be uniformly collected by the General Administration Office, and the General Administration Office will evaluate the performance of local officials in one year, and then report it to the Governor's Office for approval and payment according to the standards.

"Yes, that's what it means."

The old bureaucrat is good, just one thing.

According to his new regulations, he can save a lot of fiscal wages and expenses every year, and in addition, he will hold the "economic" life of officials across the province in the hands of him, the governor.

In the future, the officials in Zhili Province would not eat the food of the court, but the food of Lord Jia.

If Jia Liu gets silver dollars, it will be the people of Zhili and the officials who are Hua Jia Datou, who eats Jia Datou and use Jia Datou.

The economy became active all of a sudden.

However, Yang Jingsu quickly realized a new problem, that is, if all wage payments are collected into the provincial treasury, it will cause the problem of untimely payment of wages.

For officials with higher grades, the salary payment will not be too affected in time, but for officials with lower grades, especially those who work in Qingshui Yamen and actually work on the front line, it is a bit miserable.

Who is Lord Jia?

He had thought of what others thought of.

It is natural to come up with the Zhili Bank plan.

That is, "banks" are established in each county in the name of the Governor's Office. All official and employee salaries are handled by the bank, and local taxes are paid through banks, and local water conservancy and rivers are also paid by banks.

The concept of "sucking deposits" has not been proposed yet, but to wait until the new thing "bank" is familiar to officials and have authority before promoting it.

This is different from Sichuan Bank.

There are more than 100 counties in Zhili, which means that more than 100 banks are needed, and there are also prefecture banks and provincial banks, so at least 200 banks are needed.

It also connects bank personnel, guards, and government officials at all levels, etc.

It is undoubtedly a huge project.

It involves not only civil affairs, but also military.

"Next month, pilot will be conducted in Baoding, and the personnel establishment will be transferred from the vassal tutor to train the same as the construction."

Jia Liu talked to Lao Yang for half an hour.

The middle of the way, Lao Yang used the excuse to make things convenient, and when he came back, he had already taken the paper and pen and recorded it carefully, and gave his professional insights from time to time, which made Jia Liu very happy.

I simply explained my ultimate goal of organizing Zhili Finance.

That is, the expenses of local three shifts and six rooms must be included in the provincial finance.
