After Liu Yixiao made a circle, he selected Chaotian Palace in the city as his residence. The West Detachment set up camp outside the city. Most of the old cities in Hainan prefectures and counties are small, lack infrastructure, and have poor sanitary conditions, which are not conducive to development and construction.
In terms of specific development and construction, the Civil Affairs People's Committee adheres to the Lingao model, that is, choosing another location to build a new city. It will initially serve as an administrative and military garrison center, gradually attracting merchants, and gradually form a new urban center.
After the Danzhou working team settled down in Chaotian Palace, Liu Yixiao immediately asked Yin Chengshi, the Danzhou Dianshi who was in charge of the surrender work, to report on the work.
"Humble job...Humble job...Yin Chengshi..." Following the registration call in the yard, a local servant trotted all the way to deliver the notebook.
The handbook is equivalent to a person's resume and can understand the person's basic situation. Liu Yixiao heard it in the lecture and also learned how to read the handbook. He opened the handbook and looked at it, and then casually opened the "Conversion Manual" at hand.
After converting the Ganzhi years in the handbook to AD, I found out that this person was already fifty-eight years old.
Yin Chengshi's ancestral home was from Beizhili, and his family name was "Bagong" - obviously, if it weren't for Bagong, he would not be so old and would not be reduced to the ends of the earth to be a small classic historian.
A fifty-eight-year-old man works as a minor official in a barbaric land far away from his hometown. Although he can make some money, the cost is to leave his bones here at any time, which is quite miserable when you think about it. No wonder Sun Ruiwu and other local people
The junior official has no feelings for Ming Dynasty.
"Please come in, Mr. Yin."
Yin Chengshi walked in cautiously. Since he had sold himself to join the army, he naturally wanted to be sincere. Dian Shi was "not yet in the mainstream" and there were no patches on his official uniform, but his official robe was still neatly washed.
of clothing.
"Yin Chengshi, who is of humble rank, kowtows to you, sir." He said, kneeling down and kowtowing very skillfully.
Liu Yixiao was already accustomed to the kowtow habit of the natives of this time and space, but he was still a little uneasy when such an old man kowtowed to him: "Get up, we don't like this."
"Yes, yes, thank you, sir." Yin Chengshi stood up carefully and presented the gift list.
The gift list was a joint gift from the wealthy Jin gentry households in Danzhou: ten pigs, one hundred chickens, one hundred bolts of local cotton and twenty bolts of silk. In addition, fifty stones of brown rice.
Liu Yixiao nodded, and the care was received by a special person. He carefully looked at the first Ming Dynasty official who surrendered voluntarily. Yin Chengshi looked as old as seventy or eighty years old, but his movements were still flexible - an indigenous person of this time and space.
He looks very old once he turns fifty, but I didn't expect him to be so old.
Yin Chengshi took a cautious look at his new boss. He had a complicated mentality at this time. He didn't want to die for the Ming Dynasty, but he was also afraid that the new foreign rulers would look down on his surrender, and he was even more afraid that they would suspect that his surrender was deceptive.
―Then we must cut them off in two immediately.
Although this group of Australians were not considered bloodthirsty, he had heard of their reputation of showing no mercy once they wanted to kill someone.
"You are the only official in the city?"
"Yes, sir." Yin Chengshi felt a little more at ease after hearing him ask about the affairs of this city. Since he wanted to ask questions, he would not kill people casually.
There were originally four officials in the city of Danzhou, but they had been under-staffed for a long time. After Zhizhou committed suicide, he was the only one left. As for himself, he had been serving as a historian in Danzhou for more than five years. He was familiar with the local situation.
very familiar.
Liu Yixiao asked about the local household registration, money, food and local power situation. Yin Chengshi reported them all one by one. He was very familiar with the local situation and basically asked and answered ten questions. Liu Yixiao was very satisfied. Not to mention, this
The level of understanding of local government affairs is much better than that of ordinary officials.
It seems that this is a talent - it is Liu Muzhou's established policy to properly retain local officials who are willing to serve, especially before there are not enough new cadres to replace them. In addition, he can also set an example for other local officials.
"You must have a good future as a classical historian."
"This... this..." Yin Chengshi's face was distorted, thinking that he was trying to exploit him. Officials like Dian Shi are indeed very profitable. "The villain does have some benefits, but I don't dare to go too far..." He
He glanced at Liu Yixiao and muttered in his mind that he didn't know how many gifts he should prepare to satisfy him? He actually had a gift list in his sleeve. At this time, he quickly took it out.
"This is a small thing from a villain. It's not respectful. Please forgive me, adults."
The most valuable thing on the gift list is one hundred taels of silver, as well as cloth, silk and satin. For a place like Hainan, to be able to spend one hundred taels of silver as a bribe is really not a big deal for this Dianshi.
Difference.
"You are good at making money."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, making Yin Chengshi soften immediately - he thought that this group of Australians were going to play the "Master Qingtian" trick and use his head to win people's hearts. He was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"I won't accept the gift from you. You're old, and being a small official here just means a little money." Liu Yixiao said very magnanimously.
In fact, he hated it very much in his heart - Liu Yixiao hated corrupt officials the most, and he had a passion to kill every one he saw. But he still understood the basic truth that killing people cannot solve the problem.
Now is the time to hire people, and we cannot lose the help of this local official who knows the local situation very well.
"Yes, yes, the crime of humble duty deserves death..."
"That is a crime against the Ming Dynasty that deserves death, and we have nothing to do with it." Liu Yixiao said, "Our Australian and Song Dynasty regime has always insisted on the attitude of 'dividing one into two'. All the crimes you committed in the past were caused by the Ming Dynasty, and you can also be considered
a victim.”
Yin Chengshi didn't understand how he, a corrupt person, had become a "victim", but he accepted it no matter what the Australians said. He even claimed "yes".
"...But in the future, when you work for Aosong, I won't tolerate you doing this nonsense. You understand!"
"I understand the humble position, I understand the humble position!"
"Okay, just take the gift back. I don't want it. I now appoint you as the general liaison officer of Danzhou and the deputy director of the Danzhou Rehabilitation Bureau. I will handle all matters dealing with the local indigenous people through you. You must effectively handle the situation."
Get things done—don’t take the opportunity to blackmail and cause trouble.”
"I don't dare to do anything in my humble position," Yin Chengshi said with a heartbroken look, "I will definitely change my past mistakes and serve the Emperor of Australia and Song Dynasty with all my heart!"
"Gather all the clerks and clerks in the yamen who are still alive. I have something to do."
Immediately, he brought the seal of Danzhou Prefectural Government Office and Liu Yixiao asked him to immediately issue a notice to calm the people, asking the gentry people in the city and the surrounding countryside not to panic and to settle down in their own business.
After gathering the basic staff, Liu Yixiao asked people to handle the case on the spot in the courtyard of Chaotian Palace: there were hundreds of people detained in Danzhou's state prison and the prison cells of the torture chamber. This group of people must be cleared out quickly.
He brought with him several personnel who had been retained from the torture chamber in Lingao County to work together on the case. The detainees were cleaned up. The Legal Research Office of the arbitral tribunal conducted a special project on how to clean up cases and prisons after taking over the local government.
During the investigation, Wang Zhaomin and the remaining personnel of the execution room were specially invited as consultants. Many of the joints and disadvantages were studied in depth, and a special manual was compiled for the reception personnel to use.
This manual provides detailed regulations on how to handle cases after taking over power and how to deal with prisoners in custody. Generally speaking, when peasants rebelled or sieged a city during a change of dynasty, "releasing all prisoners" was regarded as a "clearance" after the city fell.
"Benevolent government". However, from a modern perspective, it is difficult to say that this approach is appropriate.
No matter how dark a regime is or how corrupt the judiciary is, the people in prison cannot be all good people who have been wronged. There must be many real criminals, and some can even be said to be extremely vicious criminals.
Releasing them without asking anything is very relaxing for a while, but the result is chaos in public security and a lot of social instability. There are many examples even in the old times.
With the help of retained personnel, Liu Yixiao quickly sorted out the case files and prisoners' conditions one by one.
Those who owed taxes and rent, and all kinds of "witnesses" were released on the spot; those who were indeed criminals, according to Lingao's example, a reform-through-labor team was set up, and this reform-through-labor team was relocated to a location in the city - the prison
If the environment is too harsh, it will only waste valuable manpower.
It is not difficult to re-examine cases where someone claims to be unjust. Almost all unjust, false and wrong cases cannot be hidden from insiders - even laymen may not be able to hide them. The main factor that cannot reverse the case is the entanglement of interests and interpersonal relationships. Now all of a sudden
If the world changes and these relationships no longer exist, it will be easy to sort out the situation.
In this way, it took less than a day to clean up the most important prison affairs. The ancients valued the ability of local officials to handle punishments and considered it an important indicator to evaluate the ability of local officials. The work team dealt with this matter as soon as they took over the power.
It has the effect of adding image points.
The public sentiment in Danzhou City gradually calmed down, and Liu Yixiao knew that his preliminary work had yielded results, so he called Yin Chengshi and asked him to make a list - Liu Yixiao was about to hold the "First Danzhou *** Consultation Meeting"
.
"Every village has to send people, as well as the big households in the county. One person from each household has to attend the meeting." Liu Yixiao informed the general liaison officer Yin Chengshi, "The committee members of the aftermath bureau need to be served by big households. This is
Don't be absent from things that benefit your hometown."
"Yes, I understand!" Yin Chengshi was very positive,
By convening a *** consultation meeting, a "liaison officer" system was first established in the grassroots villages. Through this system, initial control of the grassroots and the transmission of government orders were ensured.
Recruiting soldiers, requisitioning grain, and sending missions are not simple forced extortion, but the most effective way to quickly instill the will to rule into the grassroots. Through these measures, we can quickly grasp a large number of people, money and food from the local area to provide the work team.
