"Pilot reform?"

“How to change?”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he asked quickly.

After wandering around the capital, I also have some understanding of the current situation in the capital.

The population of the capital is too large. The three major urban areas of the Old City, Dongcheng District and Beicheng District all lack the management and planning of the government, so the roads are congested, dirty and messy, and the thieves are rampant, and the gang forces have not been eradicated.

In addition, because Shuntian Prefecture has not planned and changed in time, it has blindly followed the previous systems and methods. Although the staff has been increasing, it is always very busy, but it is still unable to handle many big and small things that have happened in the capital.

"The first thing is to first divide the responsibilities of Shuntian Prefecture. The current system is obviously no longer able to meet the needs of the development of the capital."

"Some yamen can be abolished or added accordingly according to the development needs of the capital, and the relevant powers and jurisdiction areas can be clearly divided."

"For example, there are many cases in the capital, so you can take out the prison area separately, set up a special prison office, divide the capital area into areas, and each area becomes a small constable office, appoint corresponding officials and a certain number of constables and yamen runners to be responsible for the public security of this area."

"In addition, a serious crime team is set up separately to solve serious cases and major cases, and to deal with those extremely vicious criminals. In this way, the public order in the capital can be better maintained."

"For example, you can set up a separate small yamen, called the Urban Management yamen, etc., which are specially used to manage the streets, traffic and sanitation of cities, and manage those who occupy streets, roads, set up stalls, or perform juggling, etc."

"Those places can allow stalls and vendors to set up stalls, those places do not allow, and those time periods can be used, and those time periods cannot be used, and they must be planned and managed accordingly."

"Just like the new city in the south district, the night snack stalls are concentrated in that street. To establish a special vegetable market to meet the needs of life, there must be a plan and rules. People cannot let the people set up stalls and set up places indiscriminately, which will seriously affect the city's traffic, image and hygiene."

"For example, you can set up a city construction yamen to plan the construction of the entire city and make unified requirements. Houses cannot be built randomly and must comply with regulations, including road planning, drainage system construction, water supply system construction, etc.."

"This will allow the city to expand in size while not having a large number of shanty towns or various random constructions."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin also explained some systems and methods for urban construction and management in later generations.

In later cities, the stall vendors who occupied the road to do business were very annoying.

They can't do much business, but they often occupy roads, resulting in congestion on the roads and difficult vehicles. They also go to streets with high traffic flow, making these roads even more congested.

Even if there is congestion, they often do not pay attention to hygiene when setting up stalls and doing business. They can throw away the garbage at will, and they will not even sweep the floor when they leave.

Why do we say that urban management should exist in cities? Although urban management often reports rough things, stall vendors set up stalls randomly has indeed seriously affected the city's traffic and sanitation, whether it is not possible.

As for urban construction, it is even more necessary.

If there is no urban construction management, there will be no need to think about it. There will definitely be a large number of shanty towns, slums, and cities where every inch of land will be valuable. Everyone will rush to occupy the land. Just look at the urban villages in some big cities to know.

Almost every inch of land has been taken over. The buildings built by each other cannot even open their windows, and they can't even control them even if they want to. Sometimes it is really difficult for the government to do things.

The current Ming Dynasty is good, with a vast land and sparsely populated areas. Except for big cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Songhu, and Nanjing, other places are vast land and sparsely populated areas, and the city will not develop too quickly.

Urbanization has just begun and has not yet developed to a certain extent. As long as you plan well, it is still time to do better.

There were more than one billion people in later generations, and there were millions of people in any city, and tens of millions of people in big cities. There were many people, few land, and the resources were tight, so there was great pressure to survive.

But the Ming Dynasty was different. It was vast and sparsely populated. The key was that it could also plunder huge wealth from overseas, with many resources and low survival pressure, so many things could be planned and arranged better.

"Well, you really have to take care of it, plan it well, and plan it."

"The gap between this old city, Dongcheng District, Beicheng District and the new city in the south is too big, and it even makes people wonder if it is the same place."

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded and agreed.

Only by going and taking a closer look and inspecting yourself can you see the most real side of the capital.

The capital city has the pressure of the imperial city, the luxury and atmosphere of the powerful and powerful areas, the prosperity and order of the new cities in the southern area, and the congestion and messiness of ordinary old cities, as well as the messy areas in the Dongcheng District, without any planning and order.

Similarly, in the capital, there are officials who are drinking tea and reading newspapers, and there are officials on Shuntian Prefecture that are tired and cannot rest on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

This is just the capital city. The places under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture are very large, and they also cover the surrounding Huairou County, Miyun County and the like. What is the situation of these places? It also needs to be visited and inspected on the spot.

"The government must play a positive role in the daily lives of ordinary people."

Zhu Houzhao remembered what he saw in Hezhong and Central Asia Province, and the local governments had done something, so only Central Asia Province and Hezhong Province could develop a fixed ranch economy.

If there is no government in it to guide, guide and help, it is estimated that even if there are vast grasslands in Central Asia, it is obviously inappropriate for you to let a group of Han people go to nomadic life. Only Han people will not like the nomadic life.

We must constantly explore a path suitable for local development based on the actual situation in the local area, and this is the responsibility and obligations shouldered by the government.

Liu Jin smiled when he heard Zhu Houzhao's words.

He did not say everything, but he still wanted to leave some room for Zhu Houzhao to play to see if his crown prince is capable of doing well.

I have already reached this point, and I believe he should know what to do next.

A few days later, after the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year's leave ended, and the court's government offices began to work. Lin Pan, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, wrote a letter to resign, saying that he was old and weak, and was unable to do so, hoping to return to his hometown to enjoy his old age.

Originally, Emperor Hongzhi was about to replace him, but now he resigned himself, which is naturally the best. At the same time, he quickly appointed the Crown Prince of Ming Zhu Houzhao to serve as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately received strong opposition from many ministers.

These ministers believed that the crown prince was the crown prince of the country. Even if he was involved in government affairs, he should stand in the court instead of being a small prefect. In this way, the identity and status of the crown prince were not learned much. At the same time, he felt that a small prefect could not learn much.

Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin knew exactly what these ministers were thinking.

If the prince starts from the magistrate step by step, to the prefect, and then to the governor, he will have a deeper understanding of the Ming Dynasty and all aspects, and will be clear about many things in the officialdom.

When you become the emperor in the future, it will be difficult to fool you if you want to fool you.

If the prince had been growing up in the hands of women in the palace, he would learn under the guidance of their great Confucian Confucianism and take up the court to listen to everyone's way of governing the country.

The emperor who comes out like this will definitely be better fooled. For example, Emperor Hongzhi is like this, and everyone almost fooled him.

Moreover, these ministers in the court were basically all Jinshi and Hanlin Academy, but they actually did not have much experience in governing and managing.

The prince has experienced it step by step, and the requirements for them will be even higher at that time. If you don’t have some skills, it will probably be difficult to survive.

This is also the reason why they opposed it, because such a cultivation route violates the prince cultivation route that has been followed in all dynasties, making them at a loss and very uncomfortable.

However, Emperor Hongzhi ignored their opposition and still asked Zhu Houzhao to take care of Shuntian Mansion to see what Zhu Houzhao could do.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao took over Shuntian Prefecture, he immediately began a series of vigorous restructuring. The first was to divide the capital into several areas as Liu Jin said, and accordingly, the yamen in charge of these areas were set up at the same level as the county yamen.

Then there is a separate branch of the prison yamen, which is dedicated to managing public security and arresting bandits, setting up an urban management yamen, specializing in managing the sanitation, transportation and greening of the city, etc., setting up an urban construction yamen, and specializing in planning and managing the construction of the city.

These three yamen were originally found in the Prison Office, but they were not listed separately and placed under the management of the government office. The responsibilities are unclear and the division is unclear. There are many various affairs, so the public security situation in the capital is not optimistic.

The two new yamen, urban management and urban construction, have been newly added, and are specially used to manage the city.
