Henan Road has long been prepared for King Yong and his entourage to receive the banquet. The banquet was held in the largest restaurant in the port, Donghai Pavilion. Jiaozhou Port has begun to take shape as a port city, except that the administrative level is still under the jurisdiction of Jiaoxi County.
, as well as the lack of a comprehensive administrative system, other infrastructure is very complete, especially business and people's livelihood conditions.
Since twenty years ago, a special phenomenon has appeared in Michigan. The state magistrate is not in the state, and the county magistrate is not in the county. They all like to go out to inspect the people's sentiments. As for the location of the inspection, nine out of ten are at Jiaozhou Port. The reason is obvious, greed.
The port is prosperous and prosperous.
Later, Jiaoxi County simply moved the administrative office to the port without permission and chose a geomantic treasure land as an office space. The reason was also very simple. Along the line around Jiaozhou Bay, the population surged and public security deteriorated. Moving the administrative office facilitated nearby management.
.
However, the result is that the security situation in Jiaozhou Port has not improved at all, but has become increasingly worse. There are shadows under the sun, and evil often brews behind prosperity.
With the rise of overseas trade, relying on the sea power of Jiaozhou Harbor, and decades of development, the population and economic structure of Michigan have undergone tremendous changes. Although agriculture and fishery are still the main industry, both the government and the private sector have
They are paying more attention to the sea.
Therefore, land conflicts under the jurisdiction of Michigan are not acute. In fact, due to the influx of a large number of people into the harbor to make a living, some land has been abandoned for farming. The biggest problem in Michigan is corruption and public security.
A developed place is often accompanied by some negative things, and this is the case in Michigan. Relying on the excellent port and foreign trade conditions of Jiaozhou Port, various forces swarmed in, and all kinds of people were mixed, especially among the people, and a large number of gangs were born.
In the process of rapid development of Jiaozhou Port, they also grew wildly like weeds.
Interests are motivating, and good people are oppressed. Not to mention the common people, in order to fight for territory and financial resources, they kill each other. Hundreds of injury cases occur every year. The crime rate in Jiaozhou Port has always been high, even with the East China Sea Fleet.
Stationing nearby did not have much of a deterrent effect. After all, the navy did not have the power to go ashore and intervene in local affairs.
Public security has deteriorated, and social order and good customs have been severely challenged. However, the officials of Mizhou and Jiaoxi counties have not done much in the past. On the one hand, it is the compromise nature of the bureaucracy itself. As long as there is no big trouble, the surface stability can be maintained and taxes can be guaranteed.
The normal payment will not affect his fame and fortune. Other matters can be discussed, and there is ample room for compromise.
The Michigan government, which owns Jiaozhou Bay, actually does not need to do anything more. The annual two-tax quota is allocated to them without any pressure and even with a lot of profit. Even if they encounter some difficult years, they are still enthusiastic
The local tycoons and gentry helped to ensure that the court's tax collection tasks were completed, and this situation was rare.
In order to make the officials feel comfortable when they are in office, the people below are even more considerate. They never cause any big troubles, and if they do, they have been suppressed long ago. Even if someone is killed, they are dealt with in advance.
, never cause trouble to the superiors, and even some unspoken rules have emerged. Anyone who violates will be attacked in groups, which is more powerful than the legal binding force of beheading in the court.
If you want the market to be prosperous and people's livelihood to be stable, isn't it easy to give an illusion about small things? At least when Shangguan comes to inspect, Mizhou will always have good government and people, and all industries will prosper.
In the past twenty years, Michigan has been a very magical place. The most absurd, cruel and real aspects of the world are perfectly presented here.
Collusion between power and money is an objective law, as if it is the truth, and no one can violate it or control it. Many officials in Mizhou have taken the benefits and colluded with those black and gray forces, and even the Mizhou government still needs their help to maintain
law and order.
Otherwise, the population that has exceeded the limit of existing state and county government management will not be able to control it at all. After all, Mizhou has not been upgraded, and there is a serious shortage of various subordinate officials in the government. In this regard, the imperial court has made clear restrictions.
As a last resort, the Mizhou and Jiaoxi government agencies, under the original official system, set up some "non-staff personnel", which is translated as "temporary workers", to assist management.
Although these non-staff positions are nothing in the eyes of the government, they are even chess pieces that can be discarded at any time. However, these positions are highly sought after by local gangsters in Michigan. Even if they are temporary workers, they are still covered by official skins.
, for the ordinary gangsters and evil forces, it is also a real power, and even an opportunity to clear their name and come ashore.
What's more, what do ordinary people in Guizhou know? They only recognize their official status and often weakly succumb to violence and power. Those in power in the government have their own relatives and relatives to take care of, and the local squires, county magistrates, and merchants also
We need to arrange some of our own people to facilitate things. With these forces colluding together, you can imagine what the situation was like in Michigan in the past.
Those "temporary workers" who have the government as their backing and hold the power of law enforcement are naturally unscrupulous and do whatever they want to ordinary businessmen and farmers.
The dirty situation in Michigan even leaked out of the state and spread to the Taoist Bureau. Forced by public opinion, the Henan Taoist Inspectorate once conducted a crackdown on the Mizhou government and took down some state and county officials.
However, as time goes by, the old ways will return. Even if the style has converged, the essence has not changed much.
The local forces colluded together and were extremely stubborn. They did not dare to resist the imperial court and did not have many strong counterattacks in the face of attacks. However, it was also impossible for the imperial court to eradicate them. And the bureaucrats, as representatives of the imperial court, often
Unable to stand the temptation and threats, he colluded with them. The scenes that Emperor Liu hated deeply were especially prominent in Mizhou.
Therefore, when Emperor Liu's minions extended their claws to local Daozhou, Mizhou was a key target in Henan, and Wang Jiang, the special envoy of Wude, was even more ruthless.
As the largest port in the northern part of the Han Dynasty, Jiaozhou Port has attracted quite a lot of attention. It is impossible for Wude Division not to be aware of it at all. However, in the past, their focus was on national security surveillance, and government administration was only a very small part of it. If they focused all their energy on the local area,
If these flies and dogs persist, Wude Si may not be able to do anything else.
What's more, in the past, Mizhou, although full of ills and crimes, did appear to be prosperous and prosperous on the surface. The authority of the government was very strong, and the rule of the court was very solid. This was beyond the screening standards of the Wude Division.
.
However, this time, under the will of Emperor Liu, Wu Desi naturally shifted the focus of his work and served Emperor Liu's government clarification campaign wholeheartedly, focusing all his energy on fighting corruption and eliminating evil.
Wang Jiang is also the clan nephew of the former Wude Envoy Wang Yinwu, and was originally implicated. However, when Wang Xuanzhen unexpectedly rose to power, gained Emperor Liu's trust, and became the Wude Envoy, Wang Jiang also made a comeback, and was later appointed as the Wude Secretary.
Everyone in Henan Province knows it.
Naturally, Wang Jiang is not completely ignorant of the situation in Mizhou. It can even be said that he understands it very well. In the past, if he did not move, he would not care. But now that the edict has come and the political frenzy has come, Mizhou is the number one in Henan Province.
A place for incision.
Wang Jiang and the special envoy from Beijing cooperated with each other. Based on the evidence collected, they compared the list and searched for pictures. Starting from the prefectural government, they locked up the relevant people one by one. The whole process was not smooth sailing. With the intelligence of Wu Desi, plus
The emergency operation and the arrest of the bureaucrat went smoothly, but he did not dare to resist, lest his family members be implicated in the crime of one person.
The problem arises precisely with those who are interested, whether they are powerful country squires or those evil forces, who dare to resist, especially those who are reckless and who actually gather a crowd to resist the arrest of officials.
Those people were extremely daring, and lived with ruthlessness. They were fearless, but no matter how ruthless Wude Si was, they directly characterized it as rebellion. So officers and soldiers were dispatched to suppress the rebellion and suppress the bandits. Those large and small civil forces entrenched in Jiaozhou Harbor,
Most of them were wiped out, and many people were killed without even a chance to be interrogated. After all, they had rebelled, so why interrogate them.
The comprehensive rectification operation against Michigan lasted for nearly two months. Two months later, 80% of the officials in the state and county governments of Michigan were dismissed. Some were dismissed from their posts on the spot, while others were exiled.
He was taken to Xijing, not to be tried, but to be sentenced. In order to avoid excessive delegation of power, Emperor Liu made a rule that, except for special circumstances, all officials who committed official crimes would be taken to the capital to serve their sentences.
It has to be said that this time's major rectification was very painful for Mizhou. The originally good economic situation was severely damaged, private business operations were severely hit, the government was in chaos, and the administrative order was paralyzed for a while.
The port was also depressed for a time, and everything seemed to prove that the imperial court's efforts to combat corruption and evil were wrong. That is to say, Liu Chengxun came back late. If he had come back half a month earlier, what he would have seen at Jiaozhou Port would have been a different scene.
With Dao Si's subsequent intervention, everything finally gradually improved. Shi Dejun dispatched some grassroots officials from all over Henan to fill the vacancies, and even asked his deputy Quan Mizhou Zhizhou to sweep away the mess after Wude Si
Clean it up first, restore the functions of the government offices, and maintain civil stability.
As Emperor Liu said, today's Han Dynasty really has no shortage of officials. Overdeveloped places like Mizhou are short of officials. Corruption in the imperial court certainly scares bureaucrats all over the world, but similarly,
It also gives more opportunities to a large number of middle- and lower-level officials who are struggling. After all, when someone comes down, someone will come up. Only when there is a flow of people can they show their vitality.
This is what happened in Mizhou. There are quite a few people in Henan Province who are willing to serve as officials in Mizhou. Not to mention its economic conditions, considering that it has just been renovated, it should be a relatively safe place. After all,
Two artillery shells will not land in the same crater, and it is impossible for the court to fiddle with one place over and over again. On this point, the bureaucrats can see clearly.
As a result, the vacancies in Mizhou were quickly filled temporarily, and personnel arrangements involving important positions only had to be reported to Xijing for confirmation and implementation by the officials. Generally speaking, there would be basically no refutation. Of course, in this turmoil
In the chaotic situation, the Civil Service Department is probably the busiest department because it involves too many bureaucrats and job changes.
Taking advantage of the great purge in Michigan, Shi Dejun also solved some administrative problems accumulated in the past. The first was to upgrade the ports of Michigan and Jiaozhou, especially Jiaozhou Port, which became independent from Jiaoxi County.
It is a county-level port directly under the jurisdiction of Michigan and is equipped with a complete bureaucracy. At the same time, the number of officials in Jiaoxi and Jiaozhou Port has been greatly expanded to meet management needs.
After all, Jiaoxi County had less than 300 people including police officers and township officials at the time, but it was unreasonable to manage the entire Jiaoxi County and the coastal areas of Jiaozhou Bay. It could not keep up with the development speed of Jiaozhou Bay.
It needs to be adjusted appropriately to meet development needs.
After Shi Dejun implemented various rectification and appeasement measures, Mizhou has gradually settled down. After all, the foundation is there. As long as the order is stabilized, everything will come back. Even because of the elimination of those blood-sucking silverfish, many people have discovered that now
In Jiaozhou Bay, the air seems to be much fresher than in previous years, and people are much more relaxed.
