Section 81 The Great Threshold

Back in the city hall, Liu Xiang and Lin Baiguang began to arrange and dismantle the structures on Chengxuan Street.

"To dismantle it immediately is to punish without instruction. We will make a notice and dismantle it ourselves within a time limit," Lin Baiguang said.

"Then we will give you 24 hours to dismantle it tomorrow, and then we will do it." Liu Xiang looked at the latest troop dispatch schedule. The logistics troops of the South China Army are still gathering on Hong Kong Island. "Xi Yazhou told me that the troops

Now we have to act quickly and we cannot waste too much time on the military parade, so we decided to arrange only the few battalions and military units that will land later to participate in the city entry ceremony. The troops that have already landed will not enter the city and will quickly expand in their respective directions."

"This will reduce our pressure." Lin Baiguang said, "If the troops stay outside Guangzhou, arranging logistics will be complicated."

"Let's first arrange the urgent things we need to do right now." Liu Xiang said, "The first is House No. 1, which allocates offices and housing to various agencies. This matter is very urgent - President Wen's provincial party committee agencies...the regional agencies also have

Even before entering the city, the South China Army Headquarters also needs a house. These are the responsibility of our Guangzhou Military Control Commission, and we must do it as soon as possible."

Guangzhou's new urban area has been planned to be built on Henan Island. Now is naturally not the time to carry out large-scale construction. First, the relocated ministries and agencies must have a place to live.

Lin Baiguang said: "I have inspected all the government offices inside and outside Guangzhou. The houses are adequate, but many houses are badly damaged and need to be repaired. The workload of garbage removal and cleaning is not small." He

He opened the map and said, "This is roughly the arrangement..."

In addition to the Guangzhou Municipal Government, which has clearly occupied the Guangzhou government office, and the two district governments that have occupied the county offices of Panyu and Nanhai, Lin Baiguang's arrangements are the Guangdong regional agencies: Guangdong Proclamation Envoy Si Yamen; National Army Guangdong Command

Department: Guangzhou Wei Yamen; Courts and Procuratorate: Press and Investigation Department Yamen; Municipal Police Department: Lingnan Road Yamen; Monopoly Bureau and Taxation Bureau: Salt Affairs Department; Publicity Department: Tixue Road Yamen; Political Security Bureau: Guangdong Inspection Bureau of the Metropolitan Procuratorate

Press the Censor Yamen.

The advantage of this arrangement is that all agencies are close to Chengxuan Street, making communication easy.

Lin Baiguang nodded: "I'll ask someone to arrange this. There are actually many official rooms available, but they are a bit dilapidated."

"Cleaning is the responsibility of each agency. House repairs can be outsourced to the wooden cabinets in the city first. Zi Ji has been in Guangzhou for so many years, and there should be a lot of wooden cabinets coming and going."

"The second thing is the household registration census. Logically speaking, this is a priority..." Liu Xiang smiled bitterly. "But we don't have a police station yet. The yellow book in the household is good, but there must be something wrong with the data in it, and the most terrible thing is

What’s strange is that there are no house numbers in this city yet.”

"We can do these two things together." Lin Baiguang said, "First find the licensees from various places. They are very familiar with the situation in this section. Let them lead the way, check the registered households one by one, and order the house numbers and street numbers by the way.

As for the police station, we don’t even have a police station now, so we can postpone it. We will build three police stations first. We will control the general matters and we will talk about it later."

Although Lin Baiguang expressed his unwillingness to be the police chief, he had his own ideas about public security work in the city. The establishment of police stations is not an urgent matter. Firstly, they do not have so many naturalized police officers. Secondly, there are also differences in how the police stations are deployed and the size of their jurisdiction.

There is a certain scientific basis, and it may not be appropriate to set it without detailed population data.

"There are only two main points in police work: maintaining public order and checking household registrations." Lin Baiguang said, "Others can be temporarily pushed aside. The integrated detective team will be led by naturalized police officers to patrol every day. The patrol locations should cover all residential areas.

, at least ensure the security within the city walls and various gates, and create a sufficient sense of security for the residents."

After Lin Baiguang left, Liu Xiang called Zhang Yunmi and handed her a note: "Xiao Zhang, please immediately draft a proclamation for self-demolition within a time limit. The main content is these three points."

Zhang Yunmi's current official title is Secretary-General of the Guangzhou Municipal Government, and he is actually Liu Xiang's secretary. When notifying Liu Xiang of the appointment, Xiao Zishan specifically reminded him: "Pay attention to the impact and don't think too much."

Zhang Yunmi looked at the note in his hand: "Shouldn't Lu Yizhong be asked to write such a notice? I can only write in vernacular."

"This is written for the masses to see, and there is no need to pay attention to it. Besides, we must let the masses get used to our style of writing."

Zhang Yunmi nodded, took the note and went out to draft the text.

Lin Baiguang returned to his office. The main staff of the Guangzhou Urban Work Department were waiting for him here. These people were all selected and trained by himself. Through these twenty people, he controlled about two dozen people in the Urban Work Department.

Hundreds of staff, as well as hundreds of peripheral "eyes".

"Everyone, please sit down." Lin Baiguang looked at the group of men and women in front of him who still maintained Ming Dynasty attire. They made indelible contributions to the occupation of Guangdong. However, it is still unclear whether they can adapt to work under the new system. These people

Except for a few naturalized citizens from the Lingao detachment, most of them were recruited locally in Guangzhou. Although they were all sent to Lingao for training, they have been working in Guangzhou for a long time, and their speech, behavior and mentality are different from those of the cadres of the Qiongya detachment.

There is a big difference. He is very worried about this: the conflict between cadres going south and local cadres led to the "anti-localism" storm that he did not want to happen again.

"Now the army has entered the city. According to the orders of superiors, the Guangzhou station will be canceled after the transfer of affairs is completed, and our city work department will be disbanded." He looked at everyone's faces and seemed to be a little scared. Lin Baiguang continued, "

The achievements of everyone's work are obvious to all. Guangzhou's bloodless opening of the city this time is due to everyone's contribution - the Senate also sees it.

"As for your future work arrangements, most of you will be transferred to the Comprehensive Management Office with me. The person who was originally responsible for intelligence will be responsible for the National Police System General Affairs Section 9 in the future. The new director will take office in a few days. You should report to him

.Lao Bi!”

The person who was called to Lao Bi quickly stood up: "Chief."

Lao Bi's real name is Bi Defan. He was originally a "white member" of the soap class. He was originally the shopkeeper of a small shop. Because he couldn't stand the extortion by the local gangsters, he spent money to get the status of a government servant.

He was an honest man and a conscientious person among the subordinate staff. Therefore, he was favored by the Ministry of Urban Work for his development very early and became the main intelligence officer of the Ministry of Urban Work in the Zaoban.

"Don't expose your identity. Now Chief Liu has reorganized you into a detective team. You will continue to work in this capacity and report the trends inside at any time. The meeting place remains unchanged."

Lin Baiguang did not intend to call these intelligence personnel who were originally distributed in various industries to surface, but arranged for them to continue to lurk. According to the resolution made at the security joint meeting in advance, the original intelligence personnel of the Guangzhou Urban Industry Department

The informants under their control are received by the National Police General Affairs Section 9 - the General Affairs Section 9 is the counterpart of the National Police to the Political Security Bureau, and they receive intelligence sharing that is beneficial to both parties.

Lin Baiguang then started arranging the demolition matters. When Bi Defan heard that the shack on Chengxuan Street was going to be demolished, he couldn't help being frightened and said: "Chief, this matter is not easy to handle!"

"What's difficult to deal with is the big thresholds." Lin Baiguang said with a smile, "Now that the dynasty is changing, these big thresholds are too busy to take care of themselves, so how can I have time to take care of them!"

"No, no, there is another reason here." Bi Defan said, "I must know about Wenlan Academy."

"I know. It is a big academy with many industries. It has made great achievements in educating people." Lin Baiguang nodded and said, "Although they are very prestigious among the gentry, they are still scholars. Can't you understand this?"

"That's the headmaster of the academy, a scholar. They just sit and talk. There's someone else in charge of the academy's affairs - this person is not easy to mess with."

"Oh? Please tell me in detail." Lin Baiguang suddenly became interested. Guangzhou Station had little contact with Wenlan Academy, so he naturally did not investigate its background.

Bi Defan said: "The current host of the academy is called Mo Rongxin. His father used to be a minor official in the capital and became a godfather to the eunuch. After he retired and returned to his hometown, he relied on the eunuch's power to drive away the directors and took control of the academy.

Because he had eunuchs to support him, the father and son controlled the affairs of the academy for decades and embezzled countless properties of the academy. There were thousands of acres of rented land, sand fields, oyster ponds, and fish ponds under the name of the academy alone. They paid for it every year.

The money given to the academy is only a mere one hundred taels."

Lin Baiguang thought to himself that there was a big family here! In the few years he had been in Guangzhou, he only knew that Wenlan Academy was famous and wealthy, but he didn't expect that there was such a story behind it.

He asked: "His father is the godson of the eunuch - the eunuch is probably dead long ago, and there is nothing others can do against him?"

Bi Defan said: "Both generations of their father and son have achieved fame. His father was a civil servant, and he donated a prison student himself. They are also considered well-dressed people. The Mo family is very good at dealing with people. Not only do they make friends with the Jin gentry, they are also very good at winning over the scholars in the city.

Small favors keep coming. The most important thing is that the Mo family still has power to rely on."

"What force?"

"It's the people from Guandi Temple."

Lin Baiguang nodded, no wonder Bi Defan said it was difficult to handle. However, it was really unexpected that Wenlan Academy would collude with the Beggar Gang.

"Mo Rongxin asked his youngest son to marry the daughter of the leader of Guandi Temple, and they became in-laws. Therefore, no one dares to touch his power in the academy."

Hearing this, Lin Baiguang couldn't believe his ears. The dignified academy director actually married a beggar. This was incredible. But then he thought about it. It was normal. In this time and space, a beggar from a big city was married.

The power and wealth are far beyond those of ordinary large households. (To be continued.)
