The first thousand one hundred and fifty-six chapters return to the north
Cao De explained helplessly: "Your Highness, this...should be divided into two. The old officials in the past did not have a formal background. Since the regulations were made five years ago, all new civil servants must have a formal education."
"Okay! I won't ask whether it's a matter of academic background, but external teachers are paid on a daily basis. Is this reasonable? I know that Zhang Chun's father was a former doctor in the Ministry of Etiquette of the imperial court. If there was no Jingkang crisis, his father would at least be a doctor.
Now that he is a minister, can it be that the son of the minister cannot even finish an ordinary state school? His situation is special, so doesn’t your government have the responsibility to write an ultimatum to the Internal Affairs Bureau and ask for special treatment?"
"I know my fault for my humble position!"
"If you recognize your mistakes, you should correct them. I would like to make two suggestions. First, equal pay for equal work. External teachers should have the same treatment as civil servants and teaching assistants. Salaries should be the same and rest should be the same. Paying by the day is never allowed. They are teachers.
, not a small job doing odd jobs.
Second, Magistrate Cao wrote an ultimatum to the Internal Affairs Bureau, requesting the Internal Affairs Bureau to open a loophole to the people who came back from Liaodong. Those who need official education qualifications will be regarded as having official education background. Those who are not qualified to participate in the imperial examination will be given the qualifications. Others
There is no such problem in other places, only Taiyuan Prefecture has it, so this is your responsibility."
Cao De nodded repeatedly, "I will remember my humble position."
Chen Qing pointed to Zhang Chun again, "In his case, I have specially approved it. He will be treated as a graduate of a major and hired as a teaching assistant. From the time he joins the job, any amount of compensation will be given to him!"
"thump!"
Zhang Chun and his wife knelt on the ground and kowtowed with tears in their eyes, "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Highness!"
"Both of you, please get up! Please get up!"
Chen Qingxu asked them to stand up and said with a smile: "Teacher is your personal problem, but I also want to know about the common difficulties of everyone. Tell me about it and tell the truth."
"The villain must tell the truth!"
Zhang Chun sat down again, wiped away his tears and thought for a while and said: "In general, it's pretty good. Everyone has a house to live in, so they won't live on the streets. There are old and helpless people, and at least they have a monthly salary."
Money for living expenses, food and accommodation are not a problem, but to say that everyone has no objections would be a lie. There are indeed some things that make everyone dissatisfied."
"What dissatisfaction do you have? You don't have to worry about offending Magistrate Cao even if you say it. He only took office in May this year. Many things are not his responsibility, but it is up to him to solve the problems in the future."
Cao De nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, even if you say it bluntly, I am also a soldier and I like people who are cheerful."
"Okay! I said, there are two main points. One is our identity. The people in Taiyuan call us Beigui people. In fact, it is a kind of discrimination. They are unwilling to study with our children, marry, or even work as companions.
Handmaids are paid lower wages than others. We also know that this discrimination cannot be eliminated in a day or two. It will take several generations to slowly eliminate it. But the root lies with the government. The government has compiled a separate household registration for us, so we are not the same as ordinary people.
, so in the eyes of ordinary people, we have become a lowly household, and even if we want to move elsewhere, we cannot move, unless we become a black household."
Chen Qing glanced at Cao De, and Cao De said quickly: "Zhang Chunxiao told me that the special household registration is mainly to take care of them, such as allocating houses, giving security money, etc. It does not mean to discriminate."
Zhang Chun said dissatisfied: "But in fact we are discriminated against everywhere. The locals look down on us from the bottom of our hearts. We don't dare to say that we are from Beigui, but we can find out after checking the household registration. We all have a special number in the household registration.
Just the word '北'."
Chen Qing nodded, "It can be special in the beginning, but after so many years, if it continues to be special, it will become a burden. It must be restored to normal household registration. Except for a few people who need special care, everyone will be treated equally."
"I understand my position. I will make arrangements later to eliminate the special household registration as soon as possible."
Chen Qing smiled and asked Zhang Chun, "What about the second point?"
"The second important thing is that the house we live in was agreed when it was first allocated to us. As long as the original landlord did not come to ask for the house within three years, the house would belong to us. Now three years have passed, and
If no one comes to ask for it, then according to the agreement, this house should be ours.
But so far we have not received the house and land deeds, and two months ago, the county government made a new statement, saying that this house is an official house and is only temporarily lent to us to live in, with three years of rent-free rent. In other words, we will have to apply to the government in the future.
We have collected rent, but the house is not ours yet, which makes everyone extremely angry. To be honest with His Highness, tens of thousands of us are preparing to march collectively to Jingzhao after the Chinese New Year to protest against the Taiyuan government for going back on its word and deceiving us!"
Chen Qing was very angry. He suppressed his anger and asked Cao De, "Does Magistrate Cao know about this?"
Cao De said in astonishment: "I really don't know about this matter. I will start investigating tomorrow. If the government really made a promise before..."
Chen Qing shook his head, "You don't need to investigate. I remember it very clearly. This is my promise. I signed an order and the government will allocate them houses so that they can live and work in peace and contentment in Taiyuan. I did not say that I want the government to rent them houses and allocate them to them."
Houses and land distribution have the same meaning, and ownership must be given to those who own it, Magistrate Cao, do you understand what I mean?"
Cao De nodded, "I understand!"
Chen Qingdan said: "The problem all lies with Wang Zhixian of Yangqu County. Let him reflect on it!"
.........
After coming out of Zhang Chun's house, Chen Qing immediately went up to the east city wall. He walked to the wall, held the battlements and looked at the Taihang Mountains in the distance.
Cao De saw the worry in His Highness King Yong's eyes and knew why he was angry about something. Cao De stepped forward and explained: "The humble post will thoroughly investigate various problems and take charge of the matter personally. We will solve each problem we find. Please, Your Highness
rest assured!"
Chen Qing sighed softly and said: "This matter is also my fault. I didn't explain it clearly to everyone at the beginning. These Beigui people are a political test question for me. If I handle it well, I will get points. If I handle it poorly, I will lose it."
separated.
If tens of thousands of them really go to Beijing to demonstrate and petition, what will the court say? The originally passive court will definitely make a fuss about this matter and publicize it everywhere, "Look, they bring people back, or let them go"
Living like a dog, what's the difference between living in the Kingdom of Jin?'
To be honest, I am very dissatisfied with how Zhang Chunxiao handled this matter and failed to live up to my expectations for him."
Speaking of this, Chen Qing glanced at Cao De and said: "Prefect Cao, the reason why I only care about the situation of the Beigui people when inspecting Taiyuan is because they are related to my reputation. I hope you can handle their affairs well and take proper care of them.
, try to reverse the situation as soon as possible, I will definitely remove Yangqu County Magistrate this time, you can recommend a capable magistrate."
Cao De said sincerely: "I promise that there will be big changes before the spring of next year. Tomorrow, I will suspend the king of Yangqu County from his post, and then let the Prime Minister of Wu County temporarily take over the position of chief official. If he can do a good job,
Since he has a humble position, I recommend him to take over as county magistrate."
Chen Qing nodded and added: "We will do two things tomorrow. First, treat all external teachers as civil servants. Counting from the time they join the job, they will be compensated as much as they are underpaid. There can be no slightest difference.
Hanhu, please pay attention to what I mean. Treating them as civil servants does not mean that you can really turn them into civil servants. That would be a violation of the rules. Do you understand?"
"I understand the humble position!"
"Second, at least twenty house deeds and land deeds must be issued tomorrow. All must be issued before the Chinese New Year, and they must be publicized so that everyone in the city knows this. This is very important. With real real estate, they have
If they belong, the locals will not discriminate against them.
The third point is what I just thought of. It may not be done tomorrow, but it must be done as soon as possible. The government will select a group of learned young people from the Beigui people, including today's Zhang Chun, and then invite several experienced scholars to teach.
They prepare for the Ming Jing Ke exam, and as long as they pass the Ming Jing Ke exam, they will be officially hired as teaching assistants, which is very beneficial to improving their status."
"I have remembered what His Highness said. I can issue a military order. If there is no major change before the spring of next year, I am willing to resign."
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "With your words, I feel relieved!"
