Beggars are not only responsible for watching the streets, collecting roads and dumping corpses, putting out fires and carrying water, opening and closing river gates, clearing ditches and removing silt... they are almost always present in these daily municipal tasks. If the people of Guandi Temple are not taken care of
If the upper class and the big bones are completely defeated, these jobs will only become tools for them to exploit citizens and beggars.
"If you want to make it easier to rule and save money, the Guandi Temple troops are very useful tools for the rulers," Lin Baiguang said. "They do not use a penny of government funding, and they also bear many responsibilities that should have been borne by the government.
The job is simply perfect social management..."
"But there is actually a price." Mu Min said.
"Yes, this price is actually borne by the common people." Lin Baiguang said, "In fact, the government also has a price: the Guandi Temple people have robbed citizens in various ways for hundreds of years, sheltered criminals and harmed the interests of citizens. In fact, it is
The government has transferred part of its tax collection and security powers to obtain their services. The result will inevitably be damage to the government's credibility and authority, which is uneconomical from a governance perspective."
Mu Min nodded and did not express an in-depth opinion on this issue. She asked: "Director Lin, what is your opinion?"
"Let's not be busy for the moment. Let's find out their details first. Finally, we will catch them all." Lin Baiguang said.
The beggar group has a complex composition, a large number of people, and a large number of disabled people, the elderly and children who are unable to work. If you do not find out the details, formulate a proper resettlement plan, and take rash actions, it will be easy to kill the leaders and big bones at all levels.
The diaspora of people remains a social problem.
"Okay!" Mu Min nodded. To find out the details, he had to start by improving the grassroots organization. Mu Min decided to personally conduct the household census and find out the details of the Guandi Temple personnel during the investigation.
Mu Min immediately began to form a team. In the past few days, she had initially established a police agency and enriched its personnel. However, these measures were basically focused on "maintaining law and order" and were still far from achieving the goal of "governance."
She knew that the Senate's concepts of police and grassroots governance were learned from the previous thirty years, and many of them were inherited from the old Japanese police system. Therefore, police work has a strong "police administrative" aspect.
Tendency. In other words, the police agency is not only a law enforcement unit, but also undertakes the work of grassroots administrative governance.
To meet this demand, we must strengthen grassroots forces as soon as possible. The police will not be able to strengthen them for a while, so we must make use of the old Baojia system.
She sent a message to Meng Gongchang and asked him to send a message immediately to convene a meeting of the security chiefs throughout the city and every gate.
Guangzhou's old grassroots Baojia system was basically established according to the method proposed by Wang Shouren and Hai Rui: ten households, one A, and several A, one guarantee. There are "Paijia" in the cabinets of prefecture and county yamen.
"Register" - Residents, regardless of their status or gender, as long as they are over fifteen years old and are permanent residents of the household, must be registered in the Paijia Register. The accuracy of its data is much higher than that of the Yellow Register. It is similar to the modern household registration
system.
However, the A register is not perfect. First, it only registers men and women who are over fifteen years old. Second, it does not understand the changes in the population. Although there are provisions for registration of floating population, the problem is that there were no police stations in the Ming Dynasty. Whether to register or not depends entirely on the A chief.
Do you do your best? Therefore, this registration material can only be used as a reference.
There are thousands of Jia chiefs in the whole city of Guangzhou, so Mu Min naturally cannot call all of them to the meeting - even if he only summons the Bao chiefs, there will still be several hundred people.
The security chiefs cautiously came to the Lingnan Road Yamen - logically speaking, the security chiefs would go to the county Yamen to meet with officials, but this time they were summoned by the Australian "chief arrester Yamen", and the Australians' new "Quick"
"The leader of the squad" is actually a woman! I have heard of female gangsters and bandits from time to time. This is the first time I have heard of a woman being a police officer. In short, this Australian does everything with a sense of curiosity.
There was probably an element of curiosity. The security guards came in full force. Except for a few whose whereabouts were unknown and those who were really sick and could not move, almost all the security guards in the city came. Because there were so many people, not only the lobby of the Lingnan Road Yamen
The seats were full of people, and even the courtyard and under the eaves were filled with security guards who had come to hold a meeting. It was dark and crowded with people.
When Mu Min appeared on the stage wearing the black uniform of a senior police officer, there was an immediate commotion at the venue: a well-tailored black uniform top, black uniform skirt and boots, a heroic and capable "Australian outfit", made the security guards instantly stunned.
Eyes widened: This girl has a green tattoo! The security guards in the back row all stood up and stood on tiptoes to look around.
The only female concubine they knew was Pei Lixiu, but Pei Lixiu wore Ming Dynasty women's clothing most of the time. Sometimes she also wore "improved Hanfu" clothes - which was generally within the scope of people's cognition at the time.
Mu Min's completely modern uniform gave them a huge impact instantly. They were all stunned.
Mu Min was accustomed to this kind of behavior from the natives, but there were so many people "watching" today that it was still a bit embarrassing.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, several government officials quickly came out and shouted "Mighty--" in unison, suppressing the once-commotioned security guards back.
Meng Gongchang served as the Cantonese translator for the meeting, and Mu Min did not talk nonsense. Three tasks were immediately assigned.
The first is to re-register all the chiefs. The current chiefs must report to the city police station within a time limit. Those who fail to come will be removed. At the same time, they must pay a "Personal Autobiography" and fill it out according to the sample format.
Secondly, the security chief informed each license plate A that the police station was preparing to re-register the license plates and asked each license plate A to fully cooperate.
The third issue is a sample format, and the director of the insurance policy will fill in the "Basic Situation Report of Such-and-such Insurance Company" on the spot.
Based on the basic situation reports they filled out, the staff of naturalized residents marked the jurisdiction of each province on the map of Guangzhou in order to arrange the order of the census.
While Mu Min was busy arranging the census matters, he was also mobilizing census personnel. Due to the limited number of naturalized cadres, most of the personnel in the census team were old personnel. However, Mu Min arranged at least three people in each team who could speak Cantonese.
naturalized citizen cadres to play a role in mutual supervision. In addition to the team leader, the clerk responsible for filling in the registration form and household registration book must also be a naturalized citizen to prevent the retained subordinate staff from secretly causing trouble. For this reason, not only the
Cantonese-speaking personnel were recruited from the city's naturalized civilian cadres, and many Cantonese-speaking soldiers from the National Army and regular army were also seconded.
Zhang Yu has not been to the social studies school in the past few days. Since the Australians came to the city, the social studies school has been closed. It is said that his husband has hid in the countryside and has not come back yet. There is no one to teach in the social studies school, so it is closed for the holiday.
Others may be saddened by the closure of the social school, but all the children in the school are secretly happy - in ancient society, regardless of academies, private schools only have a few days off during the Chinese New Year throughout the year. On weekdays, unless the teacher asks for leave for something, he usually never takes a holiday. Students now
You can just and openly not go to school, but everyone is like a monkey who unlocks the door. You can hang out with friends and watch the "Australian scenery", forgetting the warnings of teachers "Don't run around".
Zhang Yu was not so lucky: he could have skipped classes and went out for fun in the name of "going to school", but now he was on vacation openly, but his family asked him to help - after the Australians "recovered" Guangzhou, far away from the city
People are coming to buy this "Australians' favorite" walnut cake. I don't know if they want to establish a connection with the Australians, or if they want to understand the habits and habits of the Australians. In short, his walnut cake business suddenly increased several times.
.Making the already busy business even more overwhelming, Zhang Yu had no choice but to help out at home.
He can do the job - he's seen it since he was a child. But being stuck in the shop all day long, busy making noodles and peeling walnuts, is really not what a curious person like him wants to do. Besides, he has never been able to do it since he was a child.
I didn't do much work and was busy all day long. When I climbed into bed to sleep, I felt that my limbs and bones were all sore. I couldn't help but secretly complain.
Fortunately, my family always asks him to go when they need to deliver fine goods, so I finally have a chance to go out and relax.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver goods, Zhang Yu traveled to many places in the city. If there was any difference between the arrival of the Australians, it seemed to be no different from that of the Ming Dynasty - I just heard that they demolished the shacks on Chengxuan Street and the Qing Dynasty.
After clearing the road, a group of underlings were arrested and killed. The foxes and rats in the city suddenly became much more honest. In the words of the proprietress of Doufu House, "I feel refreshed when I open the door."
The subordinate officials continued to exist. They all wore the copper basin hats passed down from the Australians, and put sleeve bands on their sleeves with the word "xie" written on them. They patrolled the streets, and everyone behaved in a well-behaved manner.
I no longer have the energy to yell at the store and hit the store every now and then.
The soldiers brought by the Australians can be seen everywhere. Some are wearing blue and gray uniforms, while others are wearing gray uniforms. Zhang Yu has been reading various "Australian magazines" for a long time and knows that those wearing gray short coats are called "National Army" -
Li Ziyu said that the official name of the Song Dynasty was "Xiang Army", and the other one was probably the so-called "Forbidden Army".
These Xiang troops and imperial troops are stationed at the city gates, in large temples and government offices, and I heard that many are stationed in teaching centers outside the city. They are on duty and sentry all over the city. Their uniforms are neat, their weapons are sophisticated, and they are full of energy when patrolling.
Compared with the officers and soldiers who are either tired and poor or brutal and brutal, even if you look at them from the perspective of a common man, you will know that they are two completely different armies.
Zhang Yu has never had a good impression of officers and soldiers - they only bully the common people, and they ignore the water bandits who kidnap, kidnap, rob and kill people outside the city; they don't think that being a soldier is a glorious thing - it is a desperate situation.
Only ghosts can make a living doing it. When I first read an Australian magazine, I couldn't quite understand the Australians' "honorable military service". At most, I could only think of the martial arts masters of Qin and Han Dynasties - this was what Wu Ji said. But now he saw it
Regardless of the majestic appearance of the Imperial Guards, the Australians understood a lot at once. (To be continued.)
