Chapter 431 The Manchu Qing rule made the people in southern Liaoning forget how to live a normal and civilized life!
"Brother Wang, we haven't seen each other for a year. I can't believe that our old friends have met again in Fuzhou City. How is it? Is it more comfortable to be the director of Fuzhou than when I was in Hongzui Fort?" After two days of inspection at the construction team camp,
Huang Chao rushed to Fuzhou City without stopping and paid a visit to Wang Dabao, the criminal director of Fuzhou, hoping to quickly solve the problem of villagers stealing construction materials.
"Brother Huang laughed. To be honest, although the rank of criminal director in Fuzhou is higher than that of the magistrate of Hongzuibao, this is a state government after all, and there are many people talking and taking care of things! There are still not as many as us in Hongzuibao.
Shi Zizai. A few days ago, I heard that Brother Huang was transferred to a new job and is now in charge of the project team for official renovation. I wonder how Brother Huang feels about his new job?"
"My little brother, this job I took looks like a good job, but in fact, I am doing it with my future and my head in mind, walking on thin ice. Not only did I just take the job, I came to visit you, brother, to make it easier for you."
"Brother Huang is here for the unruly people stealing stones from the construction team, right? Recently, someone came across someone from the construction team to report the case. This group of unruly people in southern Liaoning really doesn't make people worry. In Tatar
When the emperor was under the rule, they were too well-behaved, but after the imperial army recovered, they became the ones causing trouble. I have already figured out a solution to this matter, and I must deal with them properly. "
"Brother Wang has a way to rectify it? I wonder what method it is?"
"It's not a new method. I plan to follow the imperial court's method of controlling maritime disasters and form a security militia inspection team in Fuzhou. We will develop security militia in each town and village to assist the state's Criminal Bureau and the management of each town inspection office.
Villages. The reason why villagers are difficult to control stone theft is mainly because there are not enough criminal manpower to supervise the villages, which gives them an opportunity. As long as the militia and security teams are set up, they will no longer be able to commit crimes.
This is the opportunity. I have figured out one thing these days, why are they obedient in the hands of Jianlu? It is because the bannermen of Jianlu are the masters when they arrive in the village, with the power of life and death, so they dare not do anything.
Once upon a time, after the imperial court restored Liaonan and drove away the bannermen, there were no strong men in the village, and these people became unbridled donkeys and started to act mischievously."
"If we build a security team, can we put bridles on them?"
"It should be about the same. As long as there are people in charge of things in the village, they will not have the courage to do bad things. I have piloted it in several towns a few days ago, and the results are very good. I am currently preparing to implement it across the state."
The experience summarized by Wang Dabao is very reasonable. In terms of rural management, the Manchu control in the hinterland of Liaodong is quite strong, and it can basically cover the villages. The bannermen assigned to the villages by the Manchus are the serf owners and the whole people.
The chief administrator of the village can kill people and punish crimes at will in the village. If someone in the village commits a crime, they can directly solve it on the spot. Village affairs will basically not leave the village.
This management method is simple and crude, but the effect is quite effective. It is precisely because they are accustomed to being under high-pressure control that when the Ming Dynasty regains control of southern Liaoning, the villagers will become lawless. Because the current administrative agencies of the imperial court have arrived in the town, and it is basically over
, and criminal power has even been concentrated in prefectures and counties. No one can kill people casually in the village. The people in southern Liaoning are not used to it. They seem to feel that their lives have lost all shackles and direction, and they can do whatever they want.
That's right. They have forgotten how to live in the Ming Dynasty in the past and don't know how to behave as common people in a more civilized social environment.
Therefore, the difficulty of administrative work after the restoration of Liao Dynasty is how to quickly re-establish a new order in the hearts of the people and let them know how to live a law-abiding life without the master in the village. To put it bluntly, it is to establish a new class order as soon as possible so that the people can live a law-abiding life.
They have new concepts of hierarchical belonging and self-governance.
"Is there any problem in relying on these unscrupulous people to build their own security force? If they collude with the unscrupulous people, it will be more difficult to control them."
"Brother Huang's concerns are not unreasonable. I also took precautions when forming the militia and security team. The main members of the security team are new citizens transferred from the imperial court, as well as people from the labor team placed in Fuzhou. With their
As the backbone, we can prevent the security team from colluding with unscrupulous people. However, there are still too few members of the labor team for immigration and resettlement, otherwise the establishment of the security team will be smoother."
Lu Youcheng used to follow the rebel army to Northern Zhili to fight against the world. He became a prisoner of the official army during the Xuanhua War in the 17th year. After being captured, he first worked as a coolie in the railway construction team for a period of time. Last year, due to
With good performance, he received priority release rights and was assigned to settle in Fuzhou, Liaonan.
More than a year after coming to Fuzhou, Lu Youcheng actually regretted it. Originally, he thought that after the imperial court divided the land, it would be a pleasure for him to be a good farmer. Now that the imperial government's policies are good, he can be a farmer safely.
How good is this for the farmers? The imperial court was very kind to these laborers who settled in southern Liaoning. Not only did they allocate water for irrigating the land, they also provided settlement expenses, relatively complete farm tools, and distributed daily necessities on a monthly basis.
His own land is productive. In more than a year, he has cultivated the 20 acres of irrigated land and 20 acres of dry land. This year, he has planted 20 acres of land and harvested a lot during the autumn harvest.
Grain. According to the current trend, next year he will be able to live purely on the harvest of the fields. The output of the land in Fuzhou is greater than that of his hometown. Logically speaking, the current life is what he used to think about day and night.
A life to live.
However, now Lu Youcheng feels that this way of living is not what he wants. He yearns for the life he had in the labor camp. Originally, judging from his performance, he had the opportunity to switch to a construction team after leaving the labor camp.
He was a formal employee. But because he could not resist the temptation of allocating land, he chose to come to Liaodong to plant water and irrigate the land.

After farming for a year, he felt that it would be better to be a worker. Wouldn't it be nice to get two taels of silver a month as a salary? He had to go up a pole to dig out food in the soil. After a year of hard work on forty acres of land,
In fact, there is not much money left. Being a farmer is not only hard work, but also has no living money. The only advantage is that the land becomes your own, and it is a family property that can be passed down to the next generation.
The problem is that this family property that he originally thought was very valuable does not seem to be as valuable as he imagined. After becoming a worker, his children can continue to be workers in the future, right? He has to farm in order to leave some property for his family.
, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the gains outweighed the losses.
What made him even more disappointed was that after becoming a farmer, his relationship with the imperial court seemed to be far away, and it was not even as good as the sense of belonging he felt in the labor camp.
In order to find that sense of belonging, when the Fuzhou Criminal Bureau recruited personnel to form a militia and security team, he hurried over to sign up. The militia and security team was a non-staff organization, and only received a subsidy of one or two buckets of food every year. But Lu Youcheng still went to the pole.
He is so enthusiastic about it, not because of the food subsidy he will receive every year, but because of his status. Being a member of the security team can be regarded as working for the court, which can make him feel at ease.
