The first thousand one hundred and eighty-four chapters reform the county government
Zhu Pingan quickly went out to greet Zhang Tongsheng and others. When he saw Zhang Tongsheng, Wang Xiucai and others from a distance, he raised his hands and stepped forward to greet them. His face was filled with smiles, and his enthusiasm seemed to melt ice and snow.
In ancient times, walking backwards to welcome each other was nothing more than this.
Seeing that the county magistrate valued themselves and others so much, Zhang Tongsheng and others were extremely moved, and felt that their decision to serve as county government officials was extremely correct.
Zhu Ping'an enthusiastically welcomed Zhang Tongsheng, Wang Xiucai and others into the county government office, summoned Liu Dadao, Liu Mu and other county government officials, and introduced them to each other. From now on, everyone will become colleagues.
In the morning, he mainly led Zhang Tongsheng and others to get familiar with the county government. At noon, Zhu Pingan asked the county government kitchen to cook a few more dishes, and invited everyone in the government to set up tables and chairs for a dinner in the county government courtyard. By the way, he served Zhang Tongsheng, Wang Xiucai, etc.
People connect with each other and enhance mutual understanding at the banquet.
"We have business in the afternoon, so we won't drink. I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine to welcome you. You are all from my hometown and are more familiar with Jingnan's customs and customs than I am. I would like to ask for your help in governing Jingnan in the future.
"At the banquet, Zhu Ping'an raised his tea cup and paid tribute to Zhang Tongsheng and others.
"Thank you so much, Mr. County. Your words are true, and we will do our best." Zhang Tongsheng and others stood up with teacups in hand.
"The old concept is unfriendly to subordinate officials. They think that subordinate officials are of low rank and cannot be admitted to the Jinshi. In my opinion, this is a big mistake. A subordinate official's position is low and he is high. His salary is small but his ambition is to be big. I am a subordinate official.
An indispensable part of the Ming Dynasty, and also the most basic cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty's administration. Subordinate officials are responsible for the link between state officials and county magistrates and the local gentry and old people. Without subordinate officials, how can government orders be below the people?! Without subordinate officials, people's livelihood
Why do you want to be heard?! Subordinate officials play an indispensable role in consolidating the country. In addition, it is not impossible for subordinate officials to take the imperial examination. In the Ming Dynasty, there were special cases that were allowed to take part in the provincial examination and the joint examination, and even won the top prize.
For example, in the eighth year of Xuande's reign, Lord Cao Nai took part in the imperial examination as a historian of Taihe County, Jiangxi Province, and won the first place in the imperial examination.
Abandon old knowledge, work hard and make a difference."
Zhu Pingan held the tea cup and continued to talk to Zhang Tongsheng and others.
"Thank you so much for your encouragement." Zhang Tongsheng and others couldn't help but be excited when they heard this. The county official paid so much attention to the subordinate officials that they couldn't help but once again support them in their decision to serve in the county government. They felt that it was extremely correct.
"There are old subordinate officials in Jingnan, and I have dismissed them all. I have told you the reasons before, so I will not repeat them here. Your character, knowledge, and ability are all trustworthy to me, otherwise
I will not ask you to help me govern Jingnan. However, as the saying goes, it takes three years to learn well and three days to learn bad. As subordinate officials, you have direct contact with the people and govern the people. In the eyes of the people, you are the county government.
, your words and deeds are directly related to the life and well-being of the people in Jingnan. "In Toushihao Village at dusk, there were officials arresting people at night. The old man walked over the wall, and the old woman went out to see. Why are the officials so angry! What's the trouble with the women's cries...
...', I believe that no Jingnan people would want to experience such a scene. Please keep your heart and act impartially. If there are those who have bad conduct and harm the people, I will not show mercy.
"
After Zhu Ping'an encouraged everyone, he also beat them up in advance and said the ugly things first.
"Don't worry, Lord County, we will live up to the trust of the County Lord and the people of Jingnan." Zhang Tongsheng and others said in unison.
"Okay, everyone, please." Zhu Pingan raised his teacup and saluted everyone again.
"The county respectfully invites you."
Everyone responded and drank together.
After lunch, while all the county government officials were present, Zhu Pingan then arranged all the appointments.
The original system of county government offices was to have six offices, which were modeled after the six ministries of the central court. All county government offices in the Ming Dynasty had this system. However, Zhu Ping'an came from modern times and knew that this structure could be improved.
Therefore, following this opportunity to dismiss all subordinate officials, the county government system was also improved.
Of course, Zhu Pingan did not change the feudal bureaucratic form, but carried out reforms and improvements within the framework of the feudal bureaucratic form.
To say that the pinnacle of the feudal bureaucracy was undoubtedly the Qing Dynasty.
In modern times, a good friend from Neixiang, Henan Province got married, and Zhu Pingan went to attend the wedding. After the wedding, the friend took Zhu Pingan and other wedding guests to visit the AAA level scenic spot - Neixiang County Government. Zhu Pingan's historical understanding
I was more interested and watched it more carefully, and it is still fresh in my memory.
Neixiang County Government Office was first built in the Yuan Dynasty. After renovations in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it formed a large and magnificent government office building complex. It is still well preserved and is known as "the Forbidden City in the north and the county government office in the south". "The dragon's head is in Beijing and the dragon's tail is in Beijing."
The reputation of "Neixiang".
In Zhu Pingan's view, the beauty of the internal system of Neixiang County Government is no less than the beauty of its external architecture.
Therefore, Zhu Pingan reformed the Jingnan County government system based on the Neixiang County government system.
"Everyone, I have decided to add four more rooms, including the storeroom, the distribution room, the warehouse, and the warehouse, on the basis of the six rooms for the county officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and workers." Zhu Ping'an told Zhang Tongsheng and others.
said.
“Add four more rooms to the six-room building?”
"We are clear about the responsibilities of the six rooms, but what are the responsibilities of the long room, the delivery room, the warehouse, and the warehouse?"
"Isn't the County Lord specially added to accommodate us? The County Lord doesn't have to be like this. We have already felt the importance of the County Lord. The County Lord must not affect the operation of the county office for our sake."
"My lord, since ancient times, all county offices have had six rooms. It is unheard of to have four rooms including a long room, a delivery room, a warehouse, and a warehouse. I have never seen any prefecture with such a facility in the county. Please think twice, lord."
Zhang Tongsheng and others couldn't help but become confused when they heard that Zhu Pingan wanted to add four more rooms. They were worried that Zhu Pingan had specially added four rooms including a shop floor, a delivery room, a warehouse, and a warehouse in order to accommodate them. It has been the county's custom since ancient times.
If there are six rooms in the house and four more rooms are added at will just to accommodate them, wouldn't it be a small gain but a big gain?
"No." Zhu Ping'an couldn't help shaking his head and laughing after hearing this, "There are eleven of you. If it is to accommodate you, shouldn't I add five more rooms?! How can I add four more rooms?! You are overthinking. I'm not
A person who neglects public affairs for personal reasons. The reason why I added four additional rooms, including a storeroom, a contract room, a warehouse, and a warehouse, is the result of careful study and careful consideration since I took office, and it is not a hasty move."
that's true.
If it is to accommodate us, it would be better to add five more rooms.
Zhang Tongsheng and others couldn't help but nodded when they heard this, but they were still puzzled by Zhu Ping'an's move to add four more rooms.
