Since ancient times, it is conceivable that the emperor and his courtiers, as well as the local officials, will be adjusted after changing the chief official.
Within the scope of the policy, the overall principle must follow the national policy set by the imperial court.
Bian Guitan wanted Zan Jurun. At least his predecessor had laid a good foundation in Hunan. Even if Xiao Gui followed Cao, he still made some political achievements. However, after all these years, those who are willing to be shrouded in the light of others will eventually
They are in the minority, especially those with a status like returning to the border.
Of course, Bian Guitan is not the kind of person who just wants to show his presence by fishing for fame and indiscriminately changing his policies. In fact, just following the ideological concept of "Kaibao New Deal" and implementing policies will be enough to keep him busy for a while.
.
In the few months since he took office, Bian Guiyi mainly devoted his energy to the higher authorities, especially those measures to benefit the people and farmers. He implemented them as quickly as possible, educated and urged officials in various states, and informed the people throughout the territory.
Although it will take a certain amount of time to implement it and produce actual results, the publicity from the government has made the people of Hunan happy and somewhat hopeful. Especially those things that are most intuitive and understandable, such as Jiading
Money, lower taxes...
Now, autumn has entered, and it is time to test the implementation of the new policy and test the credibility of the government. Although it is later than in previous years, the collection of summer taxes has also started. According to the quota given to Hunan by the imperial court, Bian Guifan also started to collect taxes according to various regulations.
The situation in Daozhou in previous years is divided layer by layer.
It is often during the issuance of government orders that problems are most likely to arise. As a traditional civil servant, Bian Guifan is upright and upright. He is well aware of the principle that without trust, there will be no establishment. He has made the commitment to the policies that have been publicized.
, we must not break trust with the people.
Therefore, before the start of the summer harvest this year, a series of large orders were issued to exhort and warn the officials in various states and counties not to betray the entrustment of the imperial court and to implement the new policy effectively. At the same time, a group of officials were specially selected from the Chief Envoy Si Yamen to go there.
All localities, guidance and supervision.
In Changsha in autumn, the climate is naturally pleasant and the scenery is very eye-catching. Under the howling autumn wind, there is no hint of desolation, but instead gives people a sense of leisure.
Of course, as the top chief executive of Hunan, Bian Guiten had no interest or time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Changsha. In the official office, after handling the general affairs at hand, he simply took a rest, and Bian Guiten returned to his work.
In the process of reading various books and books in Hunan.
If you want to govern a place well, you must first understand its situation and then adapt measures to local conditions. If you are self-righteous and insist on going your own way, you are bound to not have good results.
As a mature politician, Bian Guifan understood this truth. During this period, he spent half of his time observing the political situation and public sentiment in Hunan. If problems were discovered, they were rectified in a timely manner.
Now, after initially gaining control over Hunan's civil affairs and starting to implement the New Deal, he has also begun to prepare for his own governance policies. After all, Kaibao's New Deal will not be effective in a short time, and his political philosophy and focus
, but it needs to be determined as early as possible.
Perhaps it was his experience as an official in his early years. Wherever he went, what he was most willing to do and what he was best at doing was to detect lawlessness and clarify the administration of officials. It was the same when he came to Hunan.
At this time, he was looking up the criminal cases in Hunan and Hunan provinces over the years, and he quickly found his own policy direction, which was the old method of clarifying official governance and strengthening public security.
Hunan is now considered an "immigration" area, with a large and complex immigrant population, which inevitably leads to conflicts with the original owner people, resulting in frequent civil conflicts that are becoming increasingly serious.
At the same time, due to the household registration and integration of Miao, Yao and other barbarians, Han and Yi did not live in harmony. There were conflicts from time to time and there were many bloodshed cases. Social security is an issue with huge room for improvement. On the border,
Among the goals of returning home, we should not pick up lost things on the road and never close our doors at night.
At the same time, Jurun made outstanding contributions to the development of Hunan, but he lacked restraint in the management and education of officials. He placed too much emphasis on political achievements and neglected ethics. As a result, Hunan's officialdom was not considered good, at least in the case of Bian Guifan.
In his eyes, it needs to be rectified.
The so-called political connections and people's control are only macro-level, and overall good results have been achieved, but they cannot cover up some of the problems behind them. Taking Yinkeng in Chenzhou as an example, in order to ensure mining and metallurgy production, the number of miners' casualties reported every year is high.
No less, although there are mining disasters, accidents and other factors to cover up, Bian Guitan can see the problems at a glance, and there must be some cases of over-employment of miners.
When Bian Guitan was immersed in his ideas for the next step of governing Hunan, an official in a light crimson robe walked in, bowed his hands and said, "Mr. Bian!"
Looking up and seeing the person coming, Bian Guichen put down the file in his hand, showed a reserved smile on his face, and said: "Li Changshi is here, sit down!"
The visitor's name was Li Guanxiang, who was the first staff member under Zhou Xingfeng, the former military governor of Hunan. He was entrusted with all civil affairs in the commander's office, and later served as the chief logistics manager of Zhou Xingfeng. When the imperial court took over Jinghu, at the end
stage, actively accept surrender and achieve the peaceful "liberation" of Changsha.
Li Guanxiang obviously had certain talents to be able to become the leader of civil servants under a strong man like Zhou Xingfeng who was cruel and easy to kill. After returning to the imperial court, he first helped stabilize Changsha and pacify the states, and was recommended by Murong Yanzhao as the governor of Langzhou.
, and was later transferred to Changsha to serve as magistrate of Zhizhouquan County. He also had the honor to serve as an envoy from Hunan and go to Beijing to report on his work and make contributions.
Nowadays, the official title of Jing Hunan Taoist Chief Shi is a fifth-grade senior official in the local area. After years of experiments and adjustments, the institutional positions of the various Taoist chief envoys have been basically determined. Under the chief envoy, in addition to the corresponding state
In addition to the county clerk, there are three main positions: Biejia, Longshi, and political participation. Among them, political participation is a non-permanent position and can be regarded as a transitional position. Generally, before state-level officials are promoted, they will serve as chief envoys for a period of time to participate in political affairs.
Because Biejia was transferred away from his previous appointment, there is currently a vacancy, so Li Guanxiang, a long-standing person, became Bian Guifan's deputy. And because Li Guanxiang was knowledgeable and ambitious, he also endured hardships and learned about Bian Guifan.
He was honest and upright, and after he took office, he resumed the hard work, self-discipline, and self-discipline he had in the past. After a period of time, he also gained the favor of Bian Guichen.
At this time, he noticed the pile of files on the public case and couldn't help but sigh to Bian Guichun: "Is Mr. Bian reviewing the Daozhou register again? Such diligence is really admirable!"
After listening to his compliment, Bian Guitan smiled slightly: "If you don't understand the details of civil affairs, how can you prescribe the right medicine and govern according to the situation? It's just that Duke Zan has governed Huxiang so well. I'm afraid that if I don't do things properly, the people of Sanxiang will suffer.
..."
Of course, one could tell that Bian Guitan was pretending to be modest. Li Guanxiang immediately held up his hands and said: "Bian Gong is upright and upright, and his reputation for self-denial and public service is known all over the world. The people of Hunan are truly blessed to have such a people-friendly official like you!"
After a few simple greetings, Bian Guidan asked Li Guanxiang: "What's the matter?"
When it came to business, Li Guanxiang's face showed a clear serious change, and he presented the two official documents he held in his hand: "The list of the southern expedition to Guangdong and Guangxi and the amount of reward money and food have been sorted out, please review it.
, if there is no objection, it can be enacted!"
"This is what it should be!" Bian Guichen immediately showed his attention, took it and started browsing it carefully.
That's right, Pingnan has been here for almost a year, and the settlement of the rewards from the conscripts has just begun. Of course, this is not too slow. There are also many processes and links to go through from the court to the localities, and then to the states and counties.
As for the number of rewards, Bian Guitan doesn't have much opinion. The Ministry of War has clear instructions. Only the personnel, merits, and casualties need to be verified.
"Have you checked it? Are there any discrepancies?" He glanced at Li Guanxiang.
"Already!" Li Guanxiang replied confidently and affirmatively.
After thinking about it for a while, he looked at the list of death and disability, and then said: "If there is no discrepancy, just order it to be implemented. Pay special attention to the distribution to households. In addition, let the county officials in various states personally
He visits you at your door to show your comfort. The Changsha Home for the Casualties has also made a list. If you have time, I will go there in person!"
"Yes! Mr. Bian is a truly benevolent and virtuous gentleman!"
As a compliment, Li Guanxiang continued: "In addition, after receiving the transfer documents from Jiangnan Province, the first batch of relocated wealthy people have already boarded the ship and traveled up the river. Please prepare for the resettlement of this province!"
"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Bian Guitan immediately became energetic and asked: "How many people are there?"
Li Guanxiang replied: "About three thousand households!"
Obviously, when Han Xizai went to Jiangnan, he had already started rectification affairs with great vigor. The first thing he did was to relocate the wealthy people. Now it seems that it was implemented very quickly.
As for Hunan, immigrants from Jiangnan are definitely high-quality immigrants. These people can definitely be the first to get rich in Hunan, which is vast and sparsely populated.
Similarly, for those Jiangnan clans who were forcibly moved out and left their hometowns, Hunan is probably the best place to go. Compared with those who were assigned to Shanyang or the northwest, they are simply lucky. Of course, those who were moved
, not entirely rightists, but also rich peasants and businessmen.
Bian Guitan was also overjoyed. He took the official document and asked, "Where do you think these people should be placed?"
Without hesitation, Li Guanxiang said: "The two states of Tan and Heng can still accommodate 500,000 people!"
