"This is easy, we just have to contact Master Wang as usual." Wu Ya said.
The head of the fast class and the household secretary's office are both very high-profile jobs in the county. It costs a lot of money to fill the gap. For Lingao's vacancy, it would cost two hundred taels to fill the position of the household secretary's office.
Silver. The leader of the fast class must also show a certain amount of filial piety before he can take up his post. This benefit is received by the county magistrate. Of course, this kind of thing does not happen often on weekdays.
"I will naturally contact Mr. Wang about this matter." Xiong Buyou said. He was very disgusted with these endless bad rules. A remote and backward small border county has a lot of these things.
However, for now, the county government's brand name must be kept, and this rule can be followed. A few hundred taels of silver is nothing for the Chuan Chuan Group.
"It's just that you have dealt with Chen Minggang and a group of his men. How will this year's autumn ceremony be?" Wu Ya expressed concern.
"Don't worry, we don't have this little food at our fingertips." Xiong Buyou patted his chest. In fact, he didn't know what Wu De would do, and he didn't care much - there was always a way anyway.
"The plan for now is to ask Zhou Qi to take over Chen Minggang's stall as soon as possible." Wu Ya said, "How many have been collected? How many grain strings have been given, and how much has been collected in the warehouse. These are all complicated.
Things to do. Although Zhou Qi is a skilled person, Chen Minggang has to keep a few of his subordinates..."
"Thank you Wu Zanfu for your advice." Xiong Buyou will be in charge of the county government this time to complete the work of taking over the county government, so he is not in a hurry to resign, but chats with these two about daily life. In fact, the family situation of these two, he
It has been clear for a long time, now it is purely to win over the feelings, and also to find out the details of the county government office.
Lunch at noon was provided by the women's cooperative restaurant, which was very elegant. There was also fine wine. The few of them had a great time chatting. Wu Ya and Sun Ruiwu were both minor officials who had been stuck in the same place for more than ten years, and they were already worried about their promotion.
He is desperate and regards being an official as just a means of making a living. Compared to Wu Mingjin, he has much fewer worries and can speak freely.
When they talked about the three classes and six houses in the county government, the two of them were also very angry. Lingao has always been a place where the emperor is far away from the sky. Not only are the local powerful and extremely tyrannical, but the subordinate officials are also intricately connected to control the county administration and have no control over it.
The officials saw it in their eyes. Wu Mingjin's main position was better. Assistant officials like Wu Ya and Sun Ruiwu had many things that they were required to do. The benefits were naturally given as much as they were given, so they didn't dare to care about it.
"We officials have really become 'plagued officials'." Wu Ya complained, "We have been the director of history books and bookkeepers of five or six counties - they are all 'evil soldiers from far away states'.
It took me nearly 20 years to become a county magistrate, and I was sent to this place. I only served one term, and then I was given a second term! Even if I was transferred, I don’t know where to be a minor official!"
Sun Ruiwu also sighed. Xiong Buyou was making up his mind while talking about socializing. Although these two petty officials were in the ruling class, they were obviously dissatisfied with the reality. They had served in the local area for a long time, had rich experience in local administration, and were familiar with the officialdom.
He also knows a lot about the rules, but he can attract people to take advantage of. The Intelligence Committee has currently issued a notice to all departments, asking them to pay attention to whether there are any targets for development during their normal work.
At that moment, they were very perfunctory and said some words to defend the two of them. Although the two knew that these were just polite words on the scene, they felt heartbroken when they heard the Australians who were usually "omnipotent" praising themselves.
I still feel much more comfortable, and I feel like I know each other and have met each other.
The dinner ended at around two o'clock in the afternoon. Xiong Buyou personally sent the two of them home - Lingao County is a small place, and except for the local subordinates, the officials all live in the government offices with their families.
Then he took the opportunity to have a chat with their family members and check out the situation. Then he returned to his headquarters in Yanei.
The county government has been de facto taken over. The action team members of the Operations Division of the Political Security Administration, who had changed into official uniforms, took control of all entrances, exits and key departments. The next step is to start a comprehensive cleansing of the institutions within the county government.
Wu De and everyone have discussed the plan to take over the county government several times. How to arrange and dispose of the three classes and six rooms in the county government. If they are eliminated together, the administrative affairs of the county and other departments will be paralyzed, which is against them.
The original intention. After several discussions, I thought that we should start cleaning from the powerful and key departments.
The so-called powerful departments of the Crossing Group are the "three squads". Among them, the Zao squad is responsible for patrolling, standing in the hall, and torture; the Kuai squad is responsible for public security and anti-theft; and the Zhuang squad is responsible for guarding local security and armed forces. These three
"Class" is a department with a "knife handle" nature and must be taken over entirely.
The mode of taking over is similar to that of the Bopu Inspection Department. However, the inspection department is an official after all, and it is not easy for the crossing group to appoint and remove him at will. The inspection department must still be used as a signboard. It doesn't matter for the third shift. Replace them from top to bottom or
Swap some and leave some for whatever you want.
“Among these three departments, Zhuangban is the one with no technical content,” said Dong Weiwei, an “expert” on Ming Dynasty history, based on her historical knowledge and collected intelligence. “The eighty Zhuangban in this county are not only responsible for the most basic county security.
"Except, it has no effect at all. In the past, the county's anti-bandit operations basically relied on the local militia and township warriors."
The Minzhuang under the control of Zhuang Ban is different from the regular Ming Dynasty garrisons such as camps and guards. It is a local security force dedicated to guarding prefecture and county yamen. It also often undertakes missions such as escorting prisoners, escorting food and wages, and patrolling local areas. As for its combat effectiveness
Naturally, we can't talk about it. In the Qing Dynasty, the strong squads were called "fox", which meant that they only relied on the official power of the fox and faked the power of the tiger, and had no combat effectiveness at all.
The leader of the strong team in this county is a butcher named Li Heng. He is the only butcher who owns a butcher shop in the county. After buying this job, he often does evil in the countryside, buying and selling by force, which arouses great anger among the people.
Another "political deed" of this powerful leader is that he often takes advantage of the opportunity of escorting prisoners for exile and instructs his men and prisoners to rob along the way. He has committed many robberies and murders.
This kind of bizarre thing was not uncommon at the time. It could even be said to be a "hidden rule" that was not surprising.
"All the Zhuang classes will be purged, and all the Min Zhuang leaders and subordinates will be taken to the study class. Then they will be carefully screened." Wu De said, "Li Hengmin is extremely angry, so he can ask the county government to remove his errands. He will be imprisoned first.
There will be a public trial and execution when there is a suitable opportunity in the future."
An infantry company was transferred from the army to make up for the lack of "people strong". Instead, the defense of the county town was completely controlled by the crossing group.
"For us, the most useful part of Zaoban is torture." Dong Weiwei said, "It's not very useful, but if you say they have technical content, I don't have any objection."
"Someone has to do the dirty work." Wu De said. Of course there are time travelers doing the "dirty work" now, Zhou Dongtian is one, but the number is far from enough. After all, most time travelers grew up in modern civilized society.
Yes, it is not a big problem if they are asked to shoot and kill, but most people will not be able to torture a large living person.
"These people are all very cruel, but they can do it. There are many things they can do."
"Zaoban can stay still for the time being." Xiong Buyou said, "They can't make a fuss anyway."
"No, there are too many people in Zaoban. We can't support so many people who are relying on the financial system." Wu De said, "Their ICBC salary is very meager, but they will rip off people's heads. So we only need to keep a few people."
That’s it.”
In addition, Zaoban is in charge of the county government's own security and the escort of county officials when they come in and out, and is also responsible for many miscellaneous tasks in the county government.
"Zaoban must be firmly in our hands, so that we can completely control every move of everyone in the county government."
In the end, it was decided that the entire Zaoban class should be admitted to the training class, and seven or eight Zaobao slaves who could be "reformed and utilized" would be selected to continue the task of torture. A group of interns from the General Administration of Political Security would be sent to replace them.
"Then they can't all be promoted to class and clear the way?" Zhou Botao asked.
"Is this difficult?"
"I know it's not difficult, but it's hard to train interns. Isn't it a waste to use them to do this..."
"No waste at all. This is where they are needed." Wu De smiled, "Don't worry, after the population is exploded on a large scale, the crash course interns will no longer be rare. Now let them have an internship opportunity.
, they will be the backbone members from now on.”
The last to be dealt with was the fast class. Among the three classes, the fast class caused the greatest public outrage. Theoretically, the fast class is to maintain social order, but in fact it has the opposite effect. Generally speaking, the fast class only arrests those who are "blind" and "ignorant."
Foreign thieves and petty thieves, as long as they are registered and surrender to them, will not only protect them, but sometimes they will personally participate in them. Some fast squad leaders themselves are the bandit leaders in the county, and ordinary people have been greatly harmed by them.
Even the gentry were often blackmailed by these people. They were a group of people that everyone in the county hated, but no one dared to offend.
Wu De plans to use trainees from the police crash course to completely replace the fast-track officers and establish a modern police system in the county.
"But this fast class is no longer a county-wide institution." Wu De explained, "its actual status is only equivalent to the level of the county police station."
The plan was finalized and implemented in an orderly manner. As soon as it got dark, the watchmen followed the order and banged their clappers on the street to shout "curfew". There was no night market here, and no one was walking at night, so the streets suddenly became empty.
After stopping the pedestrians, the army troops waiting outside the city drove into the city one by one, starting from Minzhuang at the gate of the city and then to the county government office.
The government officials of the third class were gathered one after another according to the roster. Some people realized that the situation was not good since the afternoon, but after the city gate and the county government were controlled, they had nowhere to escape and had to surrender.
