Chapter 42: The Wind Sweeps the Fallen Flowers (2)
After entering Zhongmu County, he put the carriage luggage in place, Zhao Si changed into a set of clothes, and accompanied Li Qingzhao and Lady Liu San to wander around the first county town out of Kaifeng to the west.
There are two standard main roads, east, west, north and south, leading to the four gates and intersecting at the crossroads. Shops on both sides gather together, and there is a steady flow of people. In the north of the city is the county government office, and Zhao Shi walked here without knowing it with his two girls.
The gate of the county government is still there, and the plaque on the top still has the four words "Gong Zhong Lian Ming". However, on the left side of the gate, there is a long vertical sign that reads "Kaifeng Prefecture Zhong Mou County Official Office". On the right
There are two long vertical plaques, one is "Kaifeng Prefecture Procuratorate's Censor's Office in Zhongmu County" and the other is "Kaifeng Prefecture Zhongmu County Judicial Office".
The gate is no longer as formidable and difficult to enter as it used to be. There are two guards standing there. After checking your identity and registering in the guard room next to it, you can enter.
So you can see people coming in and out from time to time.
"Hey, can you enter the county government office at will now? I remember when I was a child, when my master took me around the county government office, he would walk quickly with his head down." Mrs. Liu San said curiously.
"Now this county government office is called the official office. The magistrate, county magistrate, chief registrar and twelve government affairs bureaus work in it. The county censor and the judge's office also work in it. You see, there are signs hanging on both sides of the door." Li Qingzhao talked.
talk.
Zhao Si couldn't help but look at her.
Ming Chuanxia likes to follow him around on tours, and is just interested in the local customs. She will not take the initiative to learn about this kind of political affairs. When she is curious, she will ask and then forget about it.
Queen Zeng Shuhua did understand her carefully, but she didn't talk much, she liked to keep things in her heart, and she didn't like to leave the palace very much.
Madam Liu San looks smart and clever, but after all, she was not educated when she was a child, so it is still difficult to understand this kind of thing. And she also knows her own position. She just needs to be beautiful and lovable.
Li Qingzhao came from a well-known family and had read history books since she was a child. She was very familiar with these political affairs. Unexpectedly, after she entered the palace, she stopped studying her favorite poems and songs, and instead began to seriously read "Ban Yue Za Tan" and other "boring" magazines and books.
"Sister, what's over there?" Mrs. Liu San said, pointing to the left side of the county government gate.
A large section of the courtyard wall there was knocked down, and a large street-facing house was built. The door to the street was open, and some people came in and out from time to time.
"There, it should be the Qinmin Hall."
"Qinmintang?"
"Yes, it is a rule stipulated in the new official system. There must be a people-friendly hall next to the county and county government offices. It is the responsibility of the administrative bureau of each county, state and county, and is dedicated to receiving inquiries and complaints from the people in the jurisdiction."
"The Administration Bureau? I've never heard of this yamen."
"The ten ministries of the Shangshu Province and the chief secretaries of each county have administrative offices, and the state and county offices are administrative bureaus, which are responsible for the affairs handed down from the official offices. Well, according to the new official system, this county's People's Hall should be headed by the county prime minister and the chief bookkeeper
The chief officials of the civil, police, and judicial bureaus take turns presiding over it."
Li Qingzhao took a look and didn't see the officials she mentioned.
"Sister, you know so much." Liu Sanniang said with admiration.
"I just like to read some miscellaneous books." Li Qingzhao glanced at Zhao Si and said calmly.
"Let's go in and take a look." Zhao Si took the lead and walked in.
The inside is very spacious, with a row of doors in the front and windows at the back and left and right, making it very bright.
There are four rows of benches on the right, with a few people sitting there. On the left is a row of counters, with four people sitting opposite them, explaining something to the people sitting here.
Over there at the counter were probably the stewards of the government offices and other officials. Some sounded contemptuous and impatient, scolding a few words from time to time; some were absent-minded and answered two or three questions out of ten; others spoke harmoniously and answered every question.
Most of the people here were weak and timid; a few of them started crying before they even opened their mouths, crying so loudly that it made Cheng Shilang opposite him a little embarrassed and embarrassed.
Zhao Si walked around and found that many people came to ask about things. The man opposite the counter could only tell which department he should go to to deal with it, and then dismissed them hastily.
Also, I tried to persuade you, this is the Government Affairs Office. If you have a grievance, go to the "Fengxianfang" on the right. There is a censor sitting there, who is responsible for the rules and regulations. The sky is blue, so go there quickly.
How do the people know about the division of labor in these new official systems?
After hearing what Cheng Shilang said, I thought they were trying to evade the situation as before. Because of the new official law, I finally got such an opportunity to express my grievances. How could I let it go so easily? Nailed here, begging hard, insisting
Got a definite answer.
The noise was so loud that an official wearing a turban came out of a nearby room.
He asked a few questions, clarified the situation, and said with some displeasure: "This matter is also very simple. You send these two to Fengxian Hall on the right. Look at the appearance of the two villagers, as long as someone can continue
If you mind their business, there won't be any trouble. Can't you handle this? Just keep trying to shirk it here. The more you shirk it, the more guilty the folks will feel!"
"Send the folks to Fengxiantang quickly." The official waved his hands repeatedly.
After receiving the reprimand, Chengshilang, who was doing the work, did not dare to say anything more. He lowered his head and led the two villagers out of the "Qinmin Hall" and transferred to the "Fengxianfang".
The official looked at Cheng Shilang's back and couldn't help but shook his head. What a ignorant guy!
With the new official system, how closely are the officials and superiors keeping a close eye on you? Do you still dare to slack off? Do you think that the officials and ministers are in the inner city of Kaifeng, and their eyes and ears cannot reach Zhongmu County?
Not to mention the Supervision and Inspection Bureau, which is "frightening" within the system, the "correspondents" in the interview office of Huaxia News Agency who are everywhere and have all-pervasive access are frightening.
There is also Zhongmu County, which is on the main road to the west. There are endless officials coming and going every day. Who knows what departments are there. If anyone has a whim, take a look here. If you encounter this situation, go back and mention, Zhongmu County Government Office
He became famous, and everyone from the county magistrate to the county magistrate to his own official was on the list.
Then I really want to thank you, my eighteenth generation ancestor!
Just as he was thinking about it, he looked up and saw Zhao Si and his party. His eyes lit up and his heart moved. He came up to them and asked kindly: "What are you doing here?"
"We are from Kaifeng. We are going to Luoyang on business and passed by your place. I heard that Zhang Fuyin presided over the reform of the official system here last year. It is completely different from other county governments and is very interesting, so I came here to see this rare sight."
Zhao Si had rich experience in the field of private interviews in private, so he casually laughed and made up a high-sounding reason.
The chief clerk saw that Zhao seemed to have an extraordinary demeanor and did not look like an ordinary person. He knew that his origin was extraordinary, but he did not dare to ask further questions, so he had to deal with it carefully.
"It is true that Zhang Fuyin has personally presided over the political reform. Each government affairs bureau has been divided into separate government affairs bureaus. It has been more than half a year since we opened the Qinmintang. The people have responded well to this, but they are still unclear about our responsibilities."
"Well, the missionary department still hasn't done enough publicity."
Zhao Si's casual words made the chief clerk's legs weak. Who among ordinary people can say such a "insight into the secrets of heaven"? But the mission and education bureau is in charge of it... Yaoshou!
The chief secretary quickly replied: "The propaganda team of the Mission Bureau went to various townships, went to the fields, went deep into the villages, and preached repeatedly. It's just that the people are less literate. After we explained it with all our heart, they turned around and forgot."
"First of all, there is a problem with your work attitude. Although you are busy, you are still dealing with errands, so you just forget about it and don't want to take care of the rest. Secondly, there is a problem with your working methods. You know the problem, but because
Work attitude, so I don’t want to think about solutions to problems!”
"This problem is actually very easy to solve. First of all, you extract the core of what you need to preach. What are the difficulties of your current work? What are the key points that the people pay attention to? After extracting it, there must be only three or four items. It can be compiled into a simple and easy-to-understand document.
It’s a slang nursery rhyme and a few catchy sentences, so of course it’s easy for people to remember it.”
"But if you just follow the script and pour all your nonsense into people's heads, who can handle it?"
The chief clerk's waist became even more bent and his legs became weaker.
This person's speech level was only the same as Zhang Fuyin's public speech at the meeting of three-level officials in the whole government.
Zhao Si looked around, nodded, and led Li Qingzhao and Lady Liu San straight out of the Qinmin Hall and towards Fengxianfang.
The head clerk rolled his eyes a few times, puffed out his cigarette and ran towards the back office of the government office. This chapter has been completed!
