Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1746 Household Survey
Beggars are not only responsible for guarding the streets, collecting dead bodies from roads, carrying water for firefighting, opening and closing river gates, clearing ditches and silting... They are almost always involved in these daily municipal tasks.If the upper echelons and big bones of the people in Guandi Temple are not completely overthrown, these jobs will only become tools for them to exploit citizens and beggars.

"If you want to rule easily and save money, the Guandi Temple troops are very useful tools for the ruler," Lin Baiguang said. The job. It's the perfect social management..."

"But actually there is a price." Mu Min said.

"Yes, this price is actually borne by the common people." Lin Baiguang said, "In fact, the government also has a price: Guandi Temple's people have taken all kinds of tricks from the citizens for hundreds of years, sheltering criminals and harming the interests of the citizens. The government has transferred part of its taxation and public security rights to obtain their services. The result is bound to damage the government’s credibility and authority, which is not worthwhile from the perspective of governance.”

Mu Min nodded, but did not express her opinion on this issue in depth. She asked, "Director Lin, what's your opinion?"

"Let's not be busy for now, let's find out their details first. Finally, we will catch them all." Lin Baiguang said.

The beggar group has a complex composition, a large number of people, and a large number of disabled, elderly, and children who cannot work. The diaspora of people is still a social problem.

"Okay!" Mu Min nodded. To find out the details, you have to start with improving the grassroots organization.Mu Min decided to personally carry out this household census, and find out the details of the people and horses in Guandi Temple during the investigation.

Mu Min immediately started to form a team.In the past few days, she has initially established a police agency and enriched its personnel.However, these measures basically focus on "maintaining law and order", and are still far from achieving the goal of "governance".

She knew that the Senate’s concept of policing and grassroots governance was learned from the first 30 years, and many of them were inherited from the old Japanese police system. Therefore, police work has a strong tendency to "police administration". .In other words, police agencies are not only law enforcement units, but also undertake the work of grassroots administrative governance.

To meet this demand, grassroots forces must be strengthened as soon as possible.The police will not be sufficient for a while, so the old Baojia system will have to be utilized.

She sent a message to Meng Gongchang, telling him to immediately send someone to call a meeting of the security chiefs of the whole city and all gates.

The old grassroots Baojia system in Guangzhou was basically established in accordance with the method proposed by Wang Shouren and Hai Rui: according to the system of ten households, one family, and the few Jiajia, one protection system.There is a "card armor book" in the shelf library of the prefecture and county yamen-regardless of status, gender, residents, as long as they are 15 years old or older, and they are permanent residents of the household, they must be registered in the card book.The accuracy of its data is much higher than that of the Yellow Book.It has been similar to the modern household registration system.

However, the card book is not perfect. One is that it only registers men and women over the age of 15, and the other is that it does not have enough control over population changes.Although there are also regulations on the registration of floating population, the problem is that there were no police stations in the Ming Dynasty, and whether registration or not depends entirely on whether Chief Jia is dedicated.Therefore, this registration material can only be used as a reference.

There are thousands of Jiachang in the whole city of Guangzhou, so Mu Min couldn't call all of them to the meeting - even if only Baochang was called, there would be hundreds of people.

The security guards came to the Lingnan Road Yamen cautiously—it is reasonable to say that the security chiefs usually go to the prefectural and county yamen when they meet the officials. The team leader" turned out to be a woman!I have heard of female Jiangyang robbers, female bandits, etc. from time to time, but this is the first time I have heard of a woman as a police officer.In short, this Australian does everything with a rarity.

Probably out of curiosity, the security chiefs came very well. Except for a few whose whereabouts were unknown and those who were really sick and unable to move, almost all the security chiefs in the city came.Because there were too many people, not only the lobby of the Lingnan Road Yamen was full of people, but even the courtyard and under the eaves were also full of security chiefs who came to the meeting.

When Mu Min appeared in the black uniform of a senior police officer, there was a commotion in the venue immediately: the well-tailored black uniform jacket, black uniform skirt and boots, the heroic and capable "Australian attire", made the security chiefs feel instantly Her eyes widened: This woman's hair is blue!The guards in the back row stood up and looked around on tiptoes.

The only girl they knew was Pei Lixiu, but most of the time Pei Lixiu wore Ming women's clothing, and sometimes she also wore "improved Hanfu" clothes - which was roughly within the scope of people's cognition at the time.Mu Min's completely modern uniform made them feel a huge impact in an instant.Everyone was stunned.

Mu Min is used to this kind of performance by the aborigines, but there are quite a lot of people "onlookers" today, so it is somewhat embarrassing.

Seeing that the scene was out of control, several yamen servants hurried out and shouted "Mighty—" in unison, and pushed back the security chiefs who had become agitated for a while.

Meng Gongchang served as the Cantonese interpreter for the meeting. Mu Min didn't talk nonsense, and immediately assigned three tasks.

The first is to re-register all Baojia chiefs.The current Baojia chief should report to the city police station within a time limit, and those who fail to come will be removed from their names.At the same time, submit a copy of "Personal Autobiography" and fill it out according to the format.

Second, the security chief will convey each card, and the police station is going to re-register the card.Let each armor cooperate fully.

The third issue is a sample format, and the head of the insurance company will fill in the "Report on the Basic Situation of XX Insurance" on the spot.

According to the basic situation report they filled out, the naturalized people staff marked the jurisdiction of each insurance on the Guangzhou map so as to arrange the order of the census.

While arranging the census in full swing, Mu Min mobilized the census personnel.Due to the limited number of naturalized civilian cadres, most of the personnel in the census team are old personnel.However, Mu Min arranges at least three naturalized cadres who can speak Cantonese in each group to supervise each other. Huamin personnel, so as to avoid the secret mischief of the retained subordinate staff.For this reason, not only the city-wide naturalized civilian cadres who can speak Cantonese were transferred, but also many soldiers who were able to speak Cantonese were seconded, including the National Army and the regular army.

Zhang Yu has not been to the social school for the past few days. Since the Australians came to the city, the social school has been closed. It is said that the husband hid in the countryside and has not come back yet.There is no one to teach in sociology, so the door is closed for vacation.

When the social school is closed, others may be heartbroken, but the children in the school are secretly happy-in ancient society, no matter the academy or private school, they only have a few days off during the Chinese New Year throughout the year. On weekdays, unless the teacher asks for leave for something, they usually never have a holiday.Students can now stay aboveboard and not go to school, each and every one of them is like a monkey opening a lock.Invite friends to play around to see the "Australian scenery", and forget the teacher's warning "don't run around".

Zhang Yu was not so lucky: he could have used the name of "going to school" to skip class and go out for fun, but now he was on holiday openly, but his family asked him to help. After the Australians "recovered" Guangzhou, a place far away in the city Some people come to buy this "Australian favorite" walnut crisp.I don't know if I want to establish a relationship with the Australians, or I want to understand the temperament and habits of the Australians.In short, his family's walnut cake business has suddenly doubled.This makes the already busy business even more difficult.Zhang Yu had no choice but to help at home.

He knows how to do the job--even if you look down upon it.But being tied to the store all day long and busy peeling walnuts with noodles is really not something that a curious person like him is willing to do.In addition, he had never done much work since he was a child, and he was busy all day long. When he climbed into bed and went to sleep, he only felt that his limbs were sore and uncomfortable.Can't help secretly crying.

Fortunately, when the family wanted to deliver small goods, he was always called to go, and finally had a chance to go out and relax.

Taking the opportunity of delivering the goods, Zhang Yu went to many places in the city. If there is any difference between the arrival of the Australians, it seems to be no different from that of Daming—only I heard that they demolished the sheds on Chengxuan Street and cleared them. out of the way.Another batch of subordinate officials were arrested and killed.The Chengcheng Fox and Shemo were suddenly much more honest.In the words of the proprietress of the tofu shop, "I feel refreshed even when I open the door."

The subordinate officials continued to exist, and they all wore copper basin hats from the Australians, and cuffs on their sleeves, with the word "Xie" written on them. They patrolled the streets, each of them behaved, I also lost the enthusiasm I had when I called Yaoyao Liu, and I was always fighting for the autumn wind towards the store.

The Australians brought soldiers, and you can see them everywhere.Some wore blue-gray uniforms, while others wore gray uniforms.Zhang Yu has been reading various "Australian magazines" for a long time, and knows that those who wear short gray jackets are called "National Army"-Li Ziyu said that the official name of the Song Dynasty is "Xiangjun", and the other is probably the so-called "Forbidden Army".

These Xiang troops and forbidden troops were stationed at the gates of the city, in the big temples and in the yamen, and I heard that there were also many teaching grounds outside the city.They are on duty in various parts of the city. Their uniforms are neat, their weapons are excellent, and their patrols are full of energy. Compared with the officers and soldiers who are either tired and poor or brutal, even if they look at it from the eyes of ordinary people, they know that they are two completely different armies. .

Zhang Yu has never had a good impression of officers and soldiers—they only bully the common people. Water bandits kidnap people outside the city, kidnap, rob and kill them. Only ghosts can make a living.When I first read Australian magazines, I didn’t quite understand when it was said that Australians are “honorable to serve in the army”. At most, I could only think of the martial arts masters of Qin and Han Dynasties—this is what Wu Yi said.But when he saw the mighty military appearance of the Australians regardless of the imperial guards, he understood a lot at once.
