Chapter 1737 Great Threshold

Back in the city hall, Liu Xiang and Lin Baiguang began to arrange for the demolition of the buildings on Chengxuan Avenue.

"Immediately dismantle it by hand is called punishment without teaching. Let's make a notice to dismantle it by ourselves within a time limit." Lin Baiguang said.

"Then give it 24 hours, and the demolition is limited to tomorrow, and then we will demolish it." Liu Xiang looked at the latest troop dispatch schedule. The logistics troop of the South China Army is still gathering on Hong Kong Island. "Xi Yazhou told me, the troop Now we must act quickly, and we can’t spend too much time on the military parade, so we decided to arrange only a few battalions and troops directly under the army to participate in the city entry ceremony, and the troops that have already landed will not enter the city, and quickly spread out in their respective directions.”

"In this way, we are less stressed." Lin Baiguang said, "If the troops stay on the outskirts of Guangzhou, it will be complicated to arrange logistics."

"Let's arrange the urgent things to do first." Liu Xiang said, "The first is the No. [-] house, allocating office and housing to various agencies. If you haven’t entered the city, the headquarters of the South China Army also needs a house. These are all under the responsibility of our Guangzhou Military Control Committee, so we need to do it as soon as possible.”

The new urban area of ​​Guangzhou has already been planned to be built on Henan Island. Naturally, this is not the time for large-scale construction.

Lin Baiguang said: "I have inspected all the government offices inside and outside Guangzhou. There are enough houses, but many houses are badly damaged and need to be repaired. The workload of removing garbage and cleaning is not small." He said As he spoke, he opened the map, "It's roughly arranged like this..."

In addition to the Guangzhou Municipal Government, which has clearly occupied the Guangzhou government office, and the two district governments that occupy the county offices of Panyu and Nanhai counties, Lin Baiguang's arrangement is the Guangdong regional agency: Guangdong Chengxuan Zhengshi Yamen; National Army Guangdong Command Department: Guangzhou Wei Yamen; courts and procuratorates: Yamen of the Procuratorate; City Police Department: Lingnan Road Yamen; Monopoly Bureau and Taxation Bureau: Salt Division; Press Yushi Yamen.

The advantage of this arrangement is that all the agencies are close to Chengxuan Street, which is convenient for communication.

Lin Baiguang nodded: "I'll ask someone to arrange it. There are actually a lot of vacant official rooms, but they are run-down."

"Cleaning is the responsibility of each agency. House repairs can be done first by the wooden cabinets in the city. Ziji has been in Guangzhou for so many years, and there should be quite a few wooden cabinets coming and going."

"The second thing is the census of household registration. It stands to reason that this is the most important thing." Liu Xiang smiled bitterly, "But we don't have a police station yet. There are yellow books in the household, but there must be something wrong with the data in it, the most terrible thing What’s more, there are no house numbers in this town.”

"We can do these two things together." Lin Baiguang said, "First find the cards from various places, they are familiar with the situation in this section. Let them lead the way, check the registered households one by one, and book the house and street numbers by the way. Yes. As for the police station, we don’t even have a police station now, so we can put it off for a while. First build three police stations to control the general affairs, and we’ll talk about it later.”

Although Lin Baiguang expressed his unwillingness to be the police chief, he has his own ideas about the security work in the city.The establishment of police stations is not an urgent task. First, they do not have so many naturalized police officers. Second, there is a certain scientific basis for how the police stations are located and the size of their jurisdiction. It may not be appropriate to set up without detailed population data.

"Police work, there are only two main points: maintaining law and order and checking household registration." Lin Baiguang said, "Others can be pushed aside temporarily. The incorporated criminal police team is led by naturalized police officers to patrol daily, and the patrol locations must cover all residential areas. , at least ensure the law and order inside the city walls and in each gate. Create enough sense of security for the residents.”

After Lin Baiguang left, Liu Xiang called Zhang Yunmi and handed her a note: "Student Zhang, please immediately draft a proclamation for self-demolition within a time limit. The main content is these three points."

Zhang Yunmi's current official title is the Secretary-General of the Guangzhou Municipal Government, but he is actually Liu Xiang's secretary.When notifying Liu Xiang of this appointment, Xiao Zishan specially reminded him: "Pay attention to the influence, don't think too much."

Zhang Yunmi looked at the note in his hand: "Shouldn't Lu Yizhong write such a notice? I can only write in vernacular."

"This is written for the masses to read, and there is no need to care about it. Besides, the masses must get used to our style of writing."

Zhang Yunmi nodded, took the note and went out to write a text.

Lin Baiguang returned to his office, where the main staff of the Guangzhou Urban Industry Department were waiting for him.These people are the backbones selected and trained by himself. Through these [-] or so people, he controls about [-] staff members of the Ministry of Urban Industry, and at the same time there are hundreds of peripheral "eyeliners".

"Everyone sit down." Lin Baiguang looked at the group of men and women who still maintained Ming Dynasty costumes. They made indelible contributions to the occupation of Guangzhou, but it is still unknown whether they can adapt to work under the new system.Except for a few naturalized people from the Lingao faction, most of these people were recruited locally in Guangzhou. Although they were all sent to Lingao for training, they have worked in Guangzhou for a long time. Cadres are very different.He is very worried about this: the conflict between cadres who went south and local cadres led to the "anti-localism" storm that eventually led to him. He doesn't want to have another incident.

"Now that the army has entered the city, according to the order of the superior, the Guangzhou station will be canceled after the transfer of affairs is completed, and our city work department will be disbanded." He looked at the faces of everyone, and seemed to be a little panicked. Lin Baiguang continued, " The achievements of everyone's work are obvious to all. Everyone contributed a lot to Guangzhou's bloodless opening of the city-the Senate also saw it.

"As for everyone's future work arrangements, most of them will be transferred to the Comprehensive Management Office with me. The people who used to be in charge of intelligence will be in charge of the Ninth Section of General Affairs of the National Police System. The new director will arrive in a few days. You should report to him .Old Bi!"

The person who was called to Lao Bi quickly stood up: "Chief."

Old Bi's name is Bi Defan.He was originally a "white member" of the soap class. He was originally the shopkeeper of a small shop. Because he couldn't bear the extortion and extortion of the gangster yamen servants, he spent money to get the identity of a yamen servant.

He is a down-to-earth person, and he belongs to the category of people with a deep conscience in the ranks of subordinate staff, so he was favored by the Ministry of Urban Works for development very early, and he is the main intelligence officer of the Ministry of Urban Works in the squad.

"Don't expose your identities. Now Chief Liu has reorganized you into a detective team. You can continue to work in this capacity and report the movements inside at any time. The meeting place remains unchanged."

Lin Baiguang did not intend to let these intelligence personnel who were originally distributed in various industries surface, but arranged for them to continue lurking.According to the resolution made at the security joint meeting in advance, the original intelligence personnel of the Guangzhou Urban Industry Department and the eyeliners under their control were taken over by the Ninth General Affairs Section of the National Police-the Ninth General Affairs Section of the National Police is the counterpart of the Political Security Bureau. They receive intelligence sharing that benefits both parties.

Lin Baiguang then began to arrange the demolition.When Bi Defan heard that the huts on Chengxuan Street were going to be demolished, he couldn't help being startled, and said: "Chief, this matter is not easy!"

"There is nothing difficult to do, isn't it just the thresholds." Lin Baiguang smiled, "Now that the dynasty is changing, the thresholds are too busy to take care of themselves, so there is no time to take care of them!"

"No, no, there is another reason here." Bi Defan said, "Master must know about Wenlan Academy."

"I know. It is a big academy with many industries. It is quite successful in educating people through reading." Lin Baiguang nodded and said, "Although they are very famous among the gentry, they are still scholars. Can't you explain why?"

"That's the head of the academy and the scholars. They just sit and talk about the Tao. There is another person in charge of the academy's property—this person is not easy to mess with."

"Oh? Tell me in detail." Lin Baiguang immediately became interested. Guangzhou Station had no contact with Wenlan Academy, so naturally he didn't investigate his background.

Bi Defan said: "The current host of the academy is called Mo Rongxin. His father was a small official in the capital, and he worshiped the eunuch as his godfather. After returning home, he relied on the power of the eunuch to drive out the director and took control of the academy himself. Because of the eunuchs backing him up, the father and son have controlled the affairs of the academy for decades and embezzled countless property—the rented fields, Shatian, oyster ponds, and fish ponds under the name of the academy alone amount to thousands of acres. The money given to the academy is only a mere 100 taels."

Lin Baiguang thought to himself that there is still a big family here!I only knew that Wenlan Academy was famous and rich in Guangzhou for several years, but I didn't expect such a story behind it.

He asked: "His father is the eunuch's godson—this eunuch probably died long ago, and others can't do anything about him?"

Bi Defan said: "Both generations of their father and son are well-known. His father is a juren, and he himself donated a prison student. He is also considered a well-dressed man. The Mo family is very perfunctory. Not only do they make friends with gentry, but they are also very good at winning over scholars in the city. There are many small favors and small favors. The most important thing is that the Mo family still has power to rely on."

"What power?"

"It's the people and horses of Guandi Temple."

Lin Baiguang nodded, no wonder Bi Defan said it was difficult.However, it was unexpected that Wenlan Academy would collude with the Beggar Gang.

"Mo Rongxin let his youngest son marry the daughter of the head of Guandi Temple, and they became a family. Therefore, no one dared to touch his power in the academy."

Hearing this, Lin Baiguang couldn't believe his ears. It's too unbelievable that the dignified head of the academy actually married the beggar head.But it's normal to think about it again. In this time and space, the power and wealth of a beggar in a big city are far from comparable to ordinary big households.
