However, there seemed to be signs of changes in the Li family. Huang Hankun then remembered that Li Xiaopeng had stopped talking to him about how to deal with the thieves a few days ago. Moreover, there has been a mysterious atmosphere in the Li family these days. He now
Only then did I realize that the Li family was in cahoots with the Kun thief.
After a while, Li Xiaopeng came over to express his regrets. Only then did Huang Henkun have the opportunity to inquire about the arrival of the thief.
Li Xiaopeng told him in a low voice that a few days ago, as soon as the news of the defeat of the army in Chengmai came, the Li family was in chaos. Because Li Xiaopeng and Huang Hankun colluded together, the two secretly dealt with the Australians.
, the elders in the family knew something about it. Now that they heard the news about the defeat of the army, they strictly ordered not to get involved in this matter again.
Li Xiaopeng himself was so frightened that he immediately burned a copy of "Manhuazhai Notes" written in his hand. "Manhuazhai" is the name of Li Xiaopeng's study. This thing was originally a book he secretly wrote about the Kun thief.
Notes on the arrival of the emperor, governance, establishment, legends and other wild talk materials, which also recorded the past when they contacted together to fight against the Kun thief "Zhangtian". Li Xiaopeng originally planned to publish it after the Kun thief escaped.
, which can be regarded as satisfying my wish for writing - to avoid being secretly called "Young Master Shi" all the time.
Two days ago, the big leader of the Kun bandits stationed in the county, named Xiong Buyou, suddenly came to visit his home with people.
"What do you mean by his coming?" Li Xiaopeng was actually a little proud and gave it a try.
"What's the purpose of Xiong Ni?"
"Brother Huang! Don't ever say Xiong Ni again!" Li Xiaopeng said sternly, "If you use your words, you may cause unexpected disasters!"
Huang Xunkun didn't care about his change of attitude, and quickly asked Kun what happened when he came to Li's house.
"You can't even imagine! The bandits want to set up a 'county advisory bureau' in the city, and every village in the county will send people to serve as committee members. From now on, members of the county advisory bureau will have the right to intervene in all kinds of county affairs.
.There are four quotas allocated in this county, and the Li family has one."
Not only was there a quota for a committee member, but Xiong Buyou told him clearly that the County Office planned to let the Li family serve as deacons of the "County Advisory Bureau" to take charge of the overall daily affairs.
Li Xiaopeng's grandfather, Li Sunqian, had a bad reputation because his family was a "shit tyrant". Although he was rich, he had a bad reputation. Now that he can be a deacon of the county advisory bureau, his status is much stronger than before.
"That's it!" Huang Hankun nodded. This move was sudden and caught people off guard. What is the use of this "county advisory bureau"? At a loss, Li Xiaopeng said again: "This is incompatible with this dynasty.
It is somewhat similar to how Taizu set up Shenming Pavilions in various counties."
"So this is where all the elders and gentry in the county come together to discuss matters?"
Li Xiaopeng said: "Yes, that's what Australians say. They also say this is a '*** organization' or something like that."
"Is this 'county advisory bureau' led by the county government?" Huang Xun had to point out the key point to him. He warned in a low voice, "This is a fake job!"
"Brother Huang!" Li Xiaopeng said disapprovingly, "This is just a place for county citizens to discuss matters. It is not considered an Australian government office. It is at best half-official and half-citizen. How can it be considered a fake position?"
Huang Xunkun was speechless. The conflict between the wealthy Jin gentry families was indeed not a big deal in the local area. Even if the imperial army really fought back one day, it would be nothing more than extorting a few money. This group of Jin gentry people have recently
After two years of being excluded from the overall situation of county politics, now the Australians suddenly opened a small opening, and the officers and soldiers suffered an unprecedented defeat. No wonder they were all eager to pounce on them like flies seeing blood.
Thinking about it again, Huang Jiazhai might not be able to escape. My father can't serve as a "committee". This job will probably fall on him.
Huang Hankun's eyes suddenly lit up. Originally, he wanted to go deep into the inside of the Kun thieves to find out their true identity. Now he had a great opportunity. Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited. He didn't even think about whether he was a fake employee.
I didn’t care anymore. I immediately asked Li Xiaopeng to talk about the details.
Li Xiaopeng was very proud that his grandfather was about to become a deacon. In fact, he had already paid a lot of flattery to Xiong Buyou in the hall, saying that Chief Xiong was "majestic and heroic" and praising Xiong Buyou as the best person in the world.
He is a talented man who has long forgotten all the words and deeds he said and did when he and Huang Hankun were going to "cruel the bandits" more than half a month ago.
He explained the specific situation to Huang Hankun and said that the county advisory bureau is based on villages. As long as it is not a village under a commune under the jurisdiction of the Australians, any village with more than 50 households must publicly recommend a village.
The committee members went to attend the county consultation bureau.
"What if there are less than fifty households?" Huang Hankun felt strange. This condition was a bit harsh. Although the villages in Lingao are generally relatively large due to banditry, small villages with a few or more than a dozen households are not.
Less.
Li Xiaopeng was not very interested in this issue. He said: "I don't know about this. But I heard that the Australians are engaged in intra-county immigration and dividing villages into households. Anyone who is willing to move to a designated place and merge into a big village can enjoy a lot.
preferential treatment…”
Then Huang Huangkun asked Li Si Gongzi about going to Fangcaodi to study. Li Xiaopeng did not deny that this was a gesture of goodwill from the Li family to the Australians.
"My younger brother is not good at studying. Why don't you send him to learn some knowledge about managing the world and applying it? It will also be good for our Li family in the future." He said it openly and honestly, but Huang Xunkun knew that Mr. Li Si and his son were not happy in the Li family.
A lowly figure - Young Master Li's mother was born as a maid, and she had fallen out of favor a long time ago. Now even the respectable servants in the house can speak more effectively than them. This child is obviously a figure sacrificed by the Li family.
"I wonder what are the requirements for studying in Fangcaodi in Australia?" Huang Hankun also had a similar idea, but he was not married yet and had no sons, let alone a bastard. The eldest brother also only had a son and a daughter, and he was young.
He was young and ignorant and could not be sent to Fangcaodu to learn anything from Australia. He planned to send his accompanying student Huang Ping to study. Huang Ping could barely be regarded as a distant relative of his family.
"There are no requirements. As long as you are willing to go," Li Xiaopeng said enthusiastically, "You just have to pay for tuition and food. It is not expensive. In addition, you will live on campus together and cannot go home except during holidays."
"It's as strict as some famous academies on the mainland."
"Why not!" Li Xiaopeng said casually, "I heard that they teach a lot of things, but it's useless."
In his opinion, knowledge that cannot pass the exam is useless. But Huang Hankun no longer thinks that way. He thinks that Kun Thief defeated the officers and soldiers and occupied Lingao by relying on these knowledge that cannot pass the exam.
Xiong Buyou and Tang Tang, who had just been assigned to him as a clerk in the county office, walked out of the door of Li's house together. Tang Tang was surrounded by people in the flower hall. The people of the Li family ranged from the old man to the humblest night watchman.
Everyone took a sneak peek, and behind the screen there were groups of female relatives who came to see the "female Australians" - from old ladies to old ladies and maids.
Female Australians are not too rare in Lingao, but in the county town, Tang Tang is the first one to come face to face with her. No wonder everyone in the Li family is so enthusiastic. They look at her inexplicably.
The people in the Li family commented on the glasses on her nose, the curly hair she permed with a poker, and her figure. The people in the Li family all agreed that the Australian woman was too tall and too strong. Her perm made her even more attractive.
Considered to be natural curly hair.
"Why are they looking at me like this...it's so weird." Tang Tang complained, "I'm getting goosebumps."
Xiong Buyou replied nonchalantly: "Are you curious? When a woman is the leader, everyone treats her like a peep show. You see, as soon as Du Wen goes out, the natives on the street will pay attention."
"How can Du Wen and I compare? He is now a pioneer in bringing political power to the countryside..."
"It's okay if you want to go." Xiong Buyou didn't like this girl at all - he thought she was a bit squeamish. Not to mention, basically all the female elders had their hair cut short, and the most beautiful ones only had their hair cut short.
It's just grown a little longer. Tang Tang still has waist-long hair, and she even permed it with a poker herself. She never wore training clothes or uniforms in Bairen City, only the clothes she brought.
And Xiong Buyou found that she was still wearing makeup! Even though it was just simple makeup like lipstick and eyebrow pencil.
Tang Tang didn't take it seriously: "I can't do it. It's too hard to go to the countryside. I can't bear to go there for a few weeks like she and Dong Weiwei did. Not to mention it's not convenient to take a bath."
Xiong Buyou laughed: "Then you still want to do civil affairs work? To do civil affairs, you have to go to the countryside. No wonder Liu Muzhou has to let you take charge of the work of the county advisory bureau. The county is still a city after all."
"It's okay. I'm not so squeamish." Tang Tang didn't care about the sarcasm in his words or didn't hear it at all. "Ma Dugong said that civil affairs work is our core work and we have the support of the people.
Only then can we gain a foothold in this time and space and build an industrialized society..."
"You admire the Governor very much."
"It's okay." Tang Tang nodded, "I admire him very much. His writing is so good and his thinking is so profound..." A blush appeared on the girl's face, "Don't you admire him?
"
Xiong Buyou couldn't laugh or cry: "Why should I admire him? He is not handsome."
"But he has a good temperament! He has a manly temperament..." Tang Tang said shyly, "Fortunately, he doesn't have a wife."
Xiong Buyou couldn't understand the good temperament of Ma Qianzhu at all. He said deliberately: "He doesn't have a wife, but he will have a life secretary soon."
Tang Tang sighed: "This is a man's shortcoming...forget it, I can tolerate this."
Xiong Buyou was completely defeated. He simply stopped talking and smoked to himself. Lingao County is a blue zone, and their security guards were following five or six steps behind. Although it was already dark, there was only one person on the street.
There are no people, so they are quite safe.
"The work of the county advisory bureau that you are about to take charge of is very important, because it is almost all big households, but there are few basic people." Xiong Buyou said in a low voice, "The big gentry households are the targets that need to cooperate and cooperate at the same time.
, we must cooperate with them. In the long run, large households that are unwilling to accept the new system we have arranged for them will be targeted for elimination..."
Tang Tang asked: "Understand, transform, and eliminate, is this what it means?"
"Basically correct." Xiong Buyou praised her. This girl's understanding was not bad. "The problems we face are very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words. In short, we must find partners who are in line with our long-term interests and promote their transformation."
"
The large gentry households are the strata at the grassroots level in the countryside who are both independent and in control of grassroots administrative and economic power. To transform the social structure and economic environment of the countryside, the Crossing Group must rely on them and eliminate them. This is the consensus of the Senate.
.
The so-called elimination does not mean simple physical elimination, but the use of social and economic means to promote their transformation. From simple tenant landlords to commercial landlords, including transformation into industrial and commercial people. This class has huge financial resources, and they can
Most of the people who have accumulated wealth also have certain business capabilities, and as long as they are guided properly, they can be transformed quite quickly. The elders hope that the local landlords can be transformed into the first generation of private capitalists, and their buried wealth can be transformed into something that can actually be circulated.
of funds.
"Yes, the Governor gave us a special speech at the meeting." She took out a small notebook and said:
"...Our task at this stage is to unite all the forces that can be united and build the political power at the most basic level as soon as possible, so that every village has cadres, police, and political institutions..."
"That's right, you were very careful in the meeting." Xiong Buyou complimented casually, thinking that this girl is really interested in her, and she doesn't seem to be an embroidered pillow. Lao Xiong has always believed that whether a person has ability or not is not a big deal, the key is
Are you willing to put your mind to doing something?
According to the plan of the Civil Affairs Committee, we took advantage of the change in public sentiment after the Chengmai victory to infiltrate and accept county-level power in other counties, while in Lingao, we fully implemented the activities of decentralizing power to the countryside and villages.
Now that they have improved the basic political power of each village under the commune system, the next step is to build political power in other villages in the county. Du Wen and Dong Weiwei have achieved results in bringing political power to the countryside in the thirteen villages.
The political power was fully established.
Regarding the issue of how to build village-level political power, the Government Affairs Council and the Senate held several special discussions. The final design of the village-level political power was a replica of the model of the old time and space, but some changes were made to suit the situation of this time and space.
The Government Affairs Council roughly determined that counties will serve as the basic units across the country in the future, and that below the county level there will be three levels of political power - counties, communes and standard villages.
Among them, the standard village is the most basic political institution. The commune is responsible for the direct leadership and control of each village. Most administrative affairs will be issued and completed through the commune.
Generally speaking, each village has a village chief, and under the village chief there is a village committee. The village committee has a standing committee consisting of a production team leader, a women's team leader and a militia team leader. These four "village-level cadres" are not paid.
, but enjoy subsidies. The candidates for these four "village-level cadres" are directly appointed by the superior department and can be from the village or from other villages.
Village cadres do not use the electoral system. The elders believe that it is meaningless to adopt the electoral system at this stage. Farmers have little understanding of the new thing called elections, do not understand the power in their hands, and do not understand the meaning of public office. It is easy to cause the village to
Level power was stolen.
"...Farmers are generally not willing to come forward, which is a characteristic of rural corruption," Fang Jinghan, who has done many social surveys and fieldwork, expressed his views at the seminar. "This is not only the fear of taking responsibility or worry.
The interests are damaged, and there is also a fear of being laughed at."
Judging from historical experience, the complete adoption of village elections without any guidance will allow many so-called "capable people" who like to show off to occupy the position of village cadres. They may be eloquent or rogue in the village.
They use intimidation or deception to force villagers to elect them to public offices. This was a common grassroots malady in the old days.
Based on Du Wen's experience in the Thirteen Villages area, the most appropriate method is for the work team to take over the village administration, initially build the basic organization of the village, and then gradually select and train cadres from the activists. Not only can each person's situation be accurately examined
, and also provided a model in establishing grassroots organizations and administration, avoiding the taken-for-granted implementation of low-level village cadres.
In addition to the village cadres, each village has a resident policeman. The resident policeman is not a native of the village and is assigned by the county police station. Once the resident policeman is appointed, he will take his family to settle down in the local area. The resident policeman is not subject to the influence of the village committee.
command, he reports directly to the superior police department. He is a true public official.
Finally, each village also has a "village representative", formally called a member of the County Advisory Bureau. The committee members are also appointed rather than elected. Their responsibility is to go to the county every month to attend the meetings of the County Advisory Bureau. Directly
It reflects the situation in the village and the demands of the villagers. He is also selected by the work team rather than elected. County Advisory Bureau members are not public employees and do not receive job allowances.
According to the design of the People's Committee on Civil Affairs, the County Advisory Bureau is not a political organization in the true sense. It is not a county assembly, but a platform for the rural elite to express their views and explain rural conditions. Its members only have the right to
Certain social honors do not enjoy actual political power. They have the right to express their views, opinions, provide various opinions and suggestions, and at the same time provide a channel for supervising village affairs. But that is all.
In this way, vertical management of the three lines of village-level government was formed. First of all, they restrained each other institutionally, preventing the village chief from monopolizing power alone or colluding with the village committee.
"Can't they collude with each other?" someone questioned.
"Of course you can, but under this system, it will become very costly for all parties to collude with each other to monopolize village political power. So much so that the maximum benefits that can be obtained from controlling a village cannot make up for the expenses required for this kind of collusion." The agency in charge.
Ming Ming, director of the organization's organizational department, said.
