Chapter 164 0161 [Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger]

The sky is bright.

Han Zhen got up early, washed up, and after breakfast, put on the walking armor and led Shi Wenhui to the government office.

He did it deliberately, so that he could quickly establish an iron-blooded and majestic image in the hearts of the people in the county and the officials.

It is better for people to be afraid than to be pitied!
When you first arrive in a new environment, you must use iron and blood to suppress it. After you get used to it, it will not be too late to turn spring wind into rain.

At that time, the people and officials will think of him instead.

This is the same principle as "prestige first and virtue second".

He himself was tall and burly, with a heroic temperament, and now he was wearing a step armor, which made him even more domineering.

Just by looking at the fearful eyes of the maids and servants in the mansion, one can know the effect.

In the government office, a group of officials, big and small, plus three classes of officials and six subordinate officials, had already arrived at the government office before dawn.

Whoa whoa whoa!
Before the people arrived, the sound of walking people's Jiajia leaves shaking and rubbing was first introduced into the government office.

"The county magistrate!"

The official guarding the gate of the government office was shocked, and immediately bowed to greet him.

Han Zhen nodded, and stepped into the government office in a hurry.

He walked straight into the lobby and sat down behind the case. Han Zhen looked around at the officials below and said loudly, "Where is Sihu joining the army?"

In May of the third year of Chongning, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty reformed the system, dismissed the prefect of Kaifeng, and appointed Mu, Yin, and Shaoyin. All states and counties in the world.

So far, no matter the prefecture, prefecture or county, there are six Caos.

There are Cao officials in the state capital, but only subordinate officials in the county seat.

After the voice fell, no one stood up, and everyone's expressions were slightly weird.

Liu Mi hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Report to the county magistrate, Si Hu joined the army and Ma Pan colluded with the rebels and was beheaded yesterday!"

Hearing this, Han Zhen asked again: "Does Hucao have other officials?"

"The next official is Wang Weizhong, and Tian is Cao Guan of the Sihu Hall."

An official steps forward.

Han Zhen ordered: "You will join the army on behalf of Sihu temporarily."

what?
Is this a promotion?
Wang Weizhong was taken aback for a moment, then a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and he quickly thanked: "Thank you county magistrate, I will definitely live up to my trust."

It is said to be a temporary replacement, but now he is the only one left in the entire Sihu hall. As long as he performs better, there is a high probability that he will firmly sit in the position of joining the army.

Han Zhendao: "I now order you to lead the householder Cao Xuli to count the casualties and losses of the people in the city. Be sure to detail them."

"The subordinate takes orders!"

Wang Weizhong bowed in response, and then walked out of the hall quickly.

The pace was quick, but also a little brisk.

Looking at dozens of officials, large and small, in the lobby, Han Zhen fell into deep thought.

The problem of redundant officials in the Northern Song Dynasty was really serious, and the powers and responsibilities of many positions covered each other alternately.

For example, recording affairs and joining the army is the head of the six Caos, and its duty is to take charge of the general affairs of the state court and correct Cao Ji's violations.

In charge of prisons, but also responsible for the trial of civil and criminal cases.

This led to the fact that most of the responsibilities of the manager and the judiciary to join the army were covered.

All the officials of the Department of Justice, big and small, can only do some minor work, such as searching for and retrieving applicable legal provisions when recording and joining the army to hear cases, so that they can be used in judgments.

Obviously, Facao's subordinate staff can do this kind of work concurrently, but they still have to cram in a group of officials.

Another example is that Sihu joins the army, is in charge of household registration taxation, and warehouse receipts.

As a result, this authority was covered by the general judgment, resulting in the authority of Hucao officials only remaining in marriage and civil litigation.

A job can be done by two or three officials, but it must be divided into three or four departments, and then filled with more than ten officials.

It's bloated, cumbersome, and inefficient.

Restructuring is inevitable.

However, there is no rush for this matter, it cannot be decided with a slap on the head.

Floating people's hearts is one aspect, and on the other hand, it is necessary to formulate a new efficient and convenient system.

After regaining his senses, Han Zhen continued to order: "From now on, the subordinate officials in the government office will be restructured."

The reform of the official system cannot be moved temporarily, but the subordinate staff can.

Moreover, the reform of subordinate staff is the most important thing, and it is also the biggest capital for Han Zhen to compete for the world in the future.

Other policies can be carried out smoothly only when subordinate officials are restructured, which has been verified in Linzi County.

Since the rectification of subordinate officials, light corvees and low taxes, and business and tax reforms have all been easily implemented without any hindrance.

All the officials looked solemn and pricked up their ears.

Han Zhen raised a finger and said loudly: "First, increase the income of subordinate staff by three times on the original basis, and the minimum salary should not be less than [-] Wen. Performance rewards, and the subordinate staff who perform well every month will be given additional rewards."

Three times, it sounds like a lot, but in fact the income of the subordinate staff is small, especially if they are not receiving real salary. After deducting up and down, it is not bad to have three or four hundred cash.

Three or four hundred cash a month is not enough to support a family in Linzi County, let alone Yidu County?
The more developed the city, the higher the price of goods and the higher the cost of living. This is the natural law of the market economy.

The price of goods in Tokyo City is higher, and the average daily living cost of ordinary people is as high as [-] Wen.

Although Yidu County is not so exaggerated, as one of the ancient Kyushu hubs in Qingzhou, there are more than [-] people in the city. If you want to feed a family of five and feed your wife and children, you need at least two yuan a month.

Liu Mi frowned and said, "Is this... a little too much? In this way, the government's annual expenditure will increase several times."

Han Zhen asked: "Counting the levies collected a while ago, how much money is there in the treasury now?"

"Counting Ding's personal money and the confiscated assets of the offender's family last night, the treasury totaled more than 280 million yuan."

As the general judge, Liu Mi was in charge of the taxation of a state, so he knew it clearly, and he answered easily.

Ding's body money accounted for the bulk of this money, followed by Xia's taxes, and finally commercial taxes and land taxes and confiscated officials' family assets.

Han Zhen waved his hand: "The treasury is full, so there is no need to worry."

Since Han Zhen didn't care, Liu Mi naturally had nothing to say.

"Secondly, increase the number of subalterns. The third class and each department of the Liucao will recruit ten more people. The period of half a month will be to recruit those who pass. At the same time, we will adopt the elimination system for the bottom. Those who are dismissed!"

"Thirdly, add a Supervision Department. The Supervision Department is responsible for picketing the subordinate officials. Once they are found to be cheating and cheating the people, they will be severely punished!"

As the rules of the restructuring were announced one by one, the eyes of the officials in the lobby looking at Han Zhen changed obviously.

These rules are intertwined, with equal emphasis on kindness and power, like an invisible chain, which locks the subordinates firmly.

Once it is implemented, it will definitely sweep away the sloppy and cunning of the subordinate staff.

At this moment, Shi Wenhui, who was standing behind Han Zhen, was trembling with excitement.

Ming Lord, Ming Lord!

After finishing speaking, Han Zhen looked around the crowd and asked, "Do you have anything to add?"

"The magistrate is wise, we have nothing to add."

All the officials applauded.

Han Zhen ordered: "Since that's the case, let's go back and do errands, and each inform the subordinates of the sects to reform the rules. Zhao Zhizhou and Liu Tong are ordered to stay."

Soon, all the officials in the lobby dispersed, leaving only Zhao Ting and Liu Mi behind.

Han Zhen said: "Liu Tongpan, I have an errand for you."

Liu Mi said seriously, "Please order from the county magistrate."

"During this period of time, Cao officials led the household, registered the population, checked the accounts, and determined the land."

As soon as Han Zhen finished speaking, Liu Mi's complexion changed slightly.

Even Zhao Ting, who was at the side, had a look of horror in his eyes.

Which of these officials is not a piece of shit, the hidden land under his hands is more than [-] mu, and the number of black serfs raised by them is as high as [-].

As for the various accounts of the government office, it is a messy account, you take a little, I will transfer a...

Han Zhen stared at the two of them sharply, and said word by word: "What did you do in the past, and now they are all written off, I don't care about it, it should be yours, it is yours. But this time, it must be detailed, If you dare to cheat and hide the population of the field, then don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

The chill in the tone made the two of them shiver.

Zhao Ting's thoughts changed sharply, and then he changed his mind and said, "County magistrate, I am willing to donate all the land, a total of more than [-] acres of fertile land!"

This fellow was obviously extremely afraid of Han Zhen, for fear that a large number of hidden fields and black households would be found out under his name, and Han Zhen would chop him off in a rage.

Don't look at Han Zhen's nice words at the moment, everything has been written off, and it will be too late to turn his face.

Companion is like a tiger!

Although heartbroken, for the sake of his own life, Zhao Ting decided to reluctantly donate all his farmland.

It can not only solve future troubles, but also set an example, and win Han Zhen's favor, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Liu Mi turned her head abruptly, her eyes fixed on him.

Hello Zhao Ting!
Such a big matter as donating the land, he didn't even discuss it with himself.

Zhao Ting directly put Liu Mi on the fire.

Donate or not?
Donated, it is more than 2 mu of fertile land, not dry land for poor people, and there are many fertile paddy fields, worth 10,000+ guan.

If he didn't donate, would Han Zhen see him like this?

For a moment, Liu Mi was in a dilemma, and Zhao Ting had already been scolded bloody in his heart.

A trace of surprise flashed in Han Zhen's eyes, and he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "Zhao Zhizhou doesn't need to be like this, I, Han Zhen, always say the same thing."

"The county magistrate's words are wrong."

Zhao Ting looked serious, and said loudly: "The county magistrate is benevolent and righteous. He has not confiscated the family assets of the subordinate officials. The monthly dividends are still the same. How can the subordinate officials be a greedy villain. Now the people are in poverty, and the county is waiting for prosperity. Officials have to do their best."

Han Zhen nodded and said: "Zhao Zhizhou has a heart, and I will remember this friendship."

Hearing this, Zhao Ting was overjoyed immediately, flatteringly said: "The county magistrate is now in the midst of his grand plans, and it is an honor for me to be able to share the county magistrate's worries."

damn thing!
Liu Mi cursed inwardly, then gritted her teeth and said, "County magistrate, my... I am also willing to do my best to donate [-] mu of fertile land."

Once the two of them donated, the rest of the officials would certainly donate after they learned about it.

Without any effort, more than [-] mu of fertile land were taken into his hands.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen said with a smile: "Since it's your wish, I'll accept it. Don't worry, I won't let you bleed for nothing, and I will give you compensation after a while."

Although she didn't know what the compensation was, it finally made Liu Mi feel better.
