Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 167 The Police and the Post Office
Fang Shi is back, which is really a pleasant surprise to Zhu Zhanchang, but he still pretends to be so indifferent on his face, so that no one can find out the details of you.

"We have military preparations, education, patrolling, the Qing army, Yi Chuan, and farmland, etc., and we have full-time staff, but such positions as Yi Chuan are more difficult, so everyone is reluctant to go."

Fang Shi said it very euphemistically. Hard work is one aspect, and the most important thing is that there is less oil and water. The main task of Yi Chuan is to communicate with officials and deliver official documents.

Water flows to low places, and it is human nature to walk to oily and watery places.

"His Royal Highness, if we are separated, I am afraid that things like Yi Chuan will not be able to make ends meet, and it will be difficult to run."

In Fang Shi's eyes, the post is a burden, but in Zhu Zhan's eyes, it is postal logistics. As long as the sea ban is lifted, steam ships and commodities from various places will definitely greatly promote the development of the logistics industry.

To do a good job in Yichuan, logistics is also one of the basic industries required for social development. The efficiency of logistics determines the speed of goods transfer.

It's just that the development of the logistics industry must start at the same time as the opening of the sea ban and the rise of port trade.

The most critical part of Guangzhou's logistics is to send things to the rich and prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River, because the most economically developed region in this era is the Central Plains.

In terms of land transportation, there are two mountainous areas in Fujian and Zhejiang. It is still not easy to travel, and we have to rely on sea transportation.

"Has Fang Zansi thought about setting up a magic soldier alone?"

"Magic soldiers? Your Highness must never dare to think about it. Wei Chen is in charge of judicial supervision. If there are soldiers, it is not beyond his power, and he must never dare."

Seeing that Zhu Zhanchang said more and more outrageous things, Fang Shi felt even more panicked.

Zhu Zhanchang smiled: "Don't be nervous, Fang Zhansi, this soldier is not a soldier, but a law enforcement officer. I thought of a name for it, what do you think about calling it a policeman."

"Police?" Fang Yansi didn't understand.

"The meaning of vigilance, supervision, has the power of law enforcement, and the right to arrest and detain people, but has no judicial power. Whether they are guilty or not, they need to be sentenced to trial by the police, and whoever can be arrested also needs to be ordered by the police."

After thinking about it, Fang Yansi felt that this was a bit similar to Jin Yiwei, but the power was not as great as that of Jin Yiwei.

This is equivalent to adding a team to himself in disguise, what does this mean?He must be testing himself.

"His Royal Highness, this is absolutely impossible. If a police force is formed, it does not mean that it will increase the number of troops and military households in Guangzhou."

"No, this is not the same. The police are not under the military household system. Their duty is to protect the laws of Da Ming, and in this case, the police will not have to trouble the army when they need to enforce the law. Under normal circumstances, the army does not have to intervene. any judicial matters."

Fang Shi immediately understood what Zhu Zhanchang meant. The police are small. He wants to completely separate the army from the judiciary. Once the judiciary has its own law enforcement team, unless there is a rebellion, the army will not be used. shot.

It seems that it is dividing his power, but it is actually reducing the power of the army.

But Zhu Zhanchang is the man in charge of the army, why cut his power?
The military household system currently implemented in the Ming Dynasty, but this system had problems in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. When three generations of military households were in the army, there would gradually be class protection and inadequate supervision. Exploitation of the common people will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the army.

A lot of things are good at first, but over time will show their ills.

"What is he going to do, what does he want to do?" These two questions kept lingering in Fang Shi's head.

"I definitely want to do the police station. It doesn't need too many people. Maybe three or five people in each township are enough to maintain law and order and maintain the dignity of the law."

Upholding the dignity of the law, these people are firmly in Fang Shi's heart. He has been serving as a prisoner for six years, and is accompanied by the law every day, but the law is often trampled on, and even commonplace. .

The law is not responsible for the powerful, unless someone more powerful asks for the law.

The law does not blame high officials, and the law does not blame noble families.

Instead, it has become a tool for the powerful to oppress the people, because the people at the bottom do not understand the law.

How can such a law have any dignity?

He can avoid corruption and perversion of the law, but the relationship between human beings and officials protect each other, who can be clean and self-clean?
"His Royal Highness's thoughts on the police station, Wei Chen agrees, but Wei Chen can't be the master."

"It's just a chat with you, I will ask your Majesty for your order. If Fang Zhan agrees and His Majesty approves then, I will hand over the related matters to Fang Zhan. If Fang Zhan thinks my approach will not work, At that time, I will have to find someone else to do it.”

"Wei Chen is willing to share the worries for His Highness."

This is the first errand that Zhu Zhanchang has handed over. To refuse is to block the door of Zhu Zhanchang. He can't refuse, and this matter requires the emperor's approval. If the emperor really approves, then he has received the imperial decree. In doing things, he has no worries.

The matter must be taken care of, but if it is really done, it will inevitably affect some local elites who are used to being arrogant, but he chooses his future instead of offending some people.

He has always been careful in his work, but even if there are some stains, he can clean it up himself.

"Fang Yansi, I plan to go to Xiangjiang Village again in seven days. If you have time, come with me."

Facing the invitation from Zhu Zhanchang, Fang Shi responded with a smile on the spot: "If you are free, it is an honor for Wei Chen to accompany His Highness."

This time, Fang Shi felt relaxed when he walked out of the 24th bridge Mingyue building. He thought that this was a good relationship with Zhu Zhanqian, and the other party did not intend to take him into action.

When he got home, he first wrote a letter to Hu Guang, in which he said: "Sitting and talking with the Prince of Zhujiang County, His Highness is mature, serving the country and the people, and I am ashamed, but His Highness insisted on setting up a county and a port with Xiangjiang Village, This place is desolate, and it is only open to the sea, and persuasion is fruitless."

This letter was sent to Yingtianfu as quickly as possible, and he needed Hu Guang's information.

……

Zhu Zhanqian in the moonlit night of the 24th Bridge stretched his waist and said, "Chu'er waits for me to change clothes, Zhao Quan, Zhang San, let's go out and look around to find a place to set up a factory."

The factory needs to be settled and built as soon as possible, and these matters do not involve political affairs, and the factory does not need to be set up in a prosperous place, just find a place where shipping is convenient, or a wasteland.

Cao Xinyue stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness, I have to go to my friend's house as explained by my mother, and I have to deal with the business of the Cao family, so I will leave first."

"Also, divide ten guards to protect Miss Cao's family."

"Your Highness, there is no need."

"I'm not at ease, just follow. If there is anything I need to use, I can use my name as much as possible, and remember to come to me when I encounter things that I can't handle."

Cao Xinyue lowered her head and said softly, "En."

After saying goodbye to Cao Xinyue, Zhu Zhanchang suddenly said, "I almost forgot. I sent a letter to tell my father, mother and grandfather that I was safe, and sent three letters to Jiaozhi, Yunnan, and Guangxi to inform me of my arrival."

"Let's go, everyone, come with me, Huangpu, Nanhai Temple."
