The eldest brother went to Huguang to buy grain. The wealthy households had all taken a break, and the common people were busy raising silkworms. The yamen were quiet and quiet. For the officials of Fuyang County who have been busy all spring, this April should not be too pleasant.
Except Wang Xian...
Because the county magistrate is absent and the chief registrar is suspended, all major and minor matters in the county fall on Jiang Xian Cheng and his acting Dian Shi. Jiang Xian Cheng will sit in the Yamen and be in charge of administration. As for the troublesome matters such as public security and prisons,
, everything is under the control of Wang Xian.
There is no way, who made him become a Dianshi now. Although there is only one horizontal line between Dianshi and Dianli, one is an official and the other is a official, which are completely different things.
Although Dian Shi is just a low-ranking miscellaneous official, if you look down on him because of this, you would be wrong. Because this is the most powerful official position in the county - Dian Shi is in charge of traitors, inspects prisoners, and records records.
The bookkeeper, the guarantor, informants, and officials of a county are all under his control!
The so-called guarantor refers to the village chief, Jia Shou in the countryside, the village chief in the city, and Jiezheng. In addition, there are fish farmers on the water and owners of Australia, those who mine in the mountains include mine owners, beekeepers include shed managers, and tea pickers include liao.
Long... In the design of Emperor Taizu, his country was a well-organized paramilitary collective with each performing its own duties. Although now that Emperor Yongle is in power, this strict system has been relaxed, but in this special period,
The guardians have to report to him every day the dynamics of the population under their jurisdiction.
Only by fully mobilizing these guarantors can we keep abreast of the dynamics of the county's resident population, and prescribe the right medicine to nip problems in the bud. As for the floating population, we have to rely on informants... The shopkeepers of all the hotels and inns in the county
The boss of the brothel, the abbot of the temple, the host of the Taoist temple, the owner of the shop, the owner of the dental shop, the owner of the dock... are all his informants. Not only are they obliged to report the situation to him proactively, but they are also required to report the situation to him.
The government provides professional support. For example, if there is a theft case, the pawnshop will be called in to determine the amount of the loss. As for the recovery of the stolen goods in the future, the cooperation of the pawnshop is indispensable.
Of course, neither the guarantor nor the informant is from the government, and it is easy to be unreliable at critical moments. But it doesn't matter, Wang Dianshi still has his own people - the public servants, that is, the three yamen, Zaoban, Kuaiban and Zhuangban.
Zaoban is the Zaoban in the yamen, responsible for the security of the county government. Kuaiban is Hu Baotou’s subordinates. Zhuangban is the militia and the main armed force in the county. Even in a small county like Fuyang, there are 500
Minzhuang, half of which is under the jurisdiction of the Dianshi, is called the machine soldiers. The other half is under the inspection department, and is called the archers.
In addition to the three squads, there are also jailers, jailers, jailers, executioners, watchmen, fire armors, etc., who are also among the public officials. Therefore, Dianshi is also called the chief officer, the security guard, public security, police, and militia of the county.
, intelligence personnel are all under his control. You can imagine how powerful this official will be if he is good.
Of course, it is extremely difficult to become an official, because although Dian Shi is not a high-ranking official, he is still in the civil service ranks. He is restricted by the imperial court's "no official position in the local area", so he has to go to other counties alone to take office. Moreover, the official position is low and the term is short. How to control it?
Subdue all the gods under his command? Those are all cunning local snakes!
Ma Dianshi is an example. When this fourth master took office, he also wanted to establish his power and subdue these monsters, but he was beaten to death by them... The subordinate officials worked together and had no problem in rectifying the county magistrate. It was even more difficult for a mere Dianshi
No problem.
In short, in less than half a year, Ma Dianshi surrendered, and from then on he shrank in his Dianshi Hall, only uploading and issuing orders, catching up on schedule, and letting go of the rest.
I have to add that it was Wang Xian's father, Wang Xingye, who was the criminal secretary at the time, who originally planned to fabricate the history of Ma Dian and successfully seize power. And Hu Buliu and Li Guan were his accomplices.
Now that Wang Xian has become Dianshi, the situation is very different. First of all, he is a confidant of Weizhi County; at the same time, he is a local, which is very important; furthermore, Li Guan and Hu Buliu are his father's old subordinates, and there are always a few
There is a lot of love in it; finally, and most importantly, everyone shudders at his scheming and skills...
There is no need to brag, just looking at the list of people who fell into his hands is enough to make veterans like Li Guan and Hu Buliu tremble and not dare to slack off at all just because he is a young junior.
Therefore, Wei Zhixian can be regarded as a good judge of people. He made Wang Xian the Dianshi, which is definitely not the same effect as when Ma Dianshi was in office. Even when Jiang County Cheng was in charge of this area, it was far from what it is now.
Without any effort, Wang Xian made all the gods under him obedient and perform their duties, working much harder than before.
.
Now, Wang Xian has handed over the household affairs to Wu Wei, and he has gone all out to fulfill the responsibilities of Dian Shi. During this period of famine, Dian Shi was mainly responsible for maintaining public security, repairing city walls, guarding prison cells, guarding Yongfengcang, and maintaining sales.
Rice on-site order... As the saying goes, lucky people don't have to be busy, and unlucky people are busy. When Jiang County Cheng was in charge of this area, there was a food shortage in the county. The local people had serious anti-foreign sentiments. There were many cases every day. Busy people
The second master was very worried.
But when Wang Xian took charge of this area, the people of Fuyang were immersed in the joy that the food shortage had been solved and food prices had dropped. There was peace in and outside the city. Even the local ruffians no longer bullied outsiders, which reduced people's labor intensity.
dropped sharply to less than one-third of its original value.
However, Wang Xian had always been worried in his heart that the Ming Church would not retaliate. Just in case, he still stepped up his vigilance. He walked around the streets and inspected the countryside, publicizing the dangers of the Ming Church and offering rewards for the arrest of Ming Church members.
Although Mingjiao once made indelible contributions to expelling the Tartars and restoring China, Wang Xian ignored them. He only knew that in the current peaceful situation, it was the cult that incited the people to rebel. Since he was in his position, he had to protect it.
If you are safe, try your best to eradicate them.
Well, you have to be honest. Even though Wang Xian is so busy, he is never tired of it... He is now the chief officer. Every time he goes out, he is surrounded by a large group of subordinates. Four of them are legal long-term followers.
, there are also more than a dozen police officers and dozens of civilians, the force is mighty and the momentum is astonishing! It is said that this is to deter lawless elements, but who dares to say that there is no element of showing off in it?
It has always been there, and there is nothing he cannot admit. He just wants to show the men, women, and children in Fuyang County that Wang Er, whom they despise and laugh at when he mentions it, is now their patron saint!
You can call him vulgar, because you have never experienced the feeling of being looked down upon by everyone. For him, a guy who enjoys revenge and never suffers injustice, he must take revenge and come back. The folks just listen.
It's not enough to say how powerful he is now, you have to let them see it!
After finishing the inspection that day, I returned to the Yamen. It was almost Shen time. Wang Xian returned to his duty room in the household room... His Dianshi was just an agent. When Ma Dianshi came back, he had to do whatever he had to do, so Wang Xian
Xian did not move, and still stayed in the household to work.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Shuai Hui came up to him and started chatting, which meant that those guys were here again.
Wang Xian smiled and looked past him, and saw several scholar-gentlemen wearing colorful shirts and soap towels sitting outside the duty room.
Several ministers were sitting there, always paying attention to the door. As soon as they saw Wang Xian appear, they all stood up, with smiles on their faces, raised their hands and saluted, "Students have seen the fourth master."
'Ahem...' Wang Xian couldn't help coughing twice and said: "How many times have I told you, don't call me that. I'm just an agent."
"With your ability and political integrity, it will only be a matter of time for you to achieve success sooner or later." The leading scholar was none other than the elegant Li Yu, and he listened to his serious compliment: "My future achievements will never be just a mere classic.
"
'It's just a classic history...' Wang Xian thought resentfully: 'This is my life-long goal, but this guy looks down on it at all...'
Seeing his gloomy expression, the atmosphere in the reception room suddenly became depressing. All the scholars looked at each other and wondered what they said wrongly, which made Fourth Master Wang unhappy.
He sat down on the main seat without hesitation, Wang Xian nodded and said: "Please sit down."
When all the scholars dared to sit down, Li Yu asked casually: "It's already the seventh day. I wonder if you are free today..."
Since seven days ago, scholars have been coming to invite Wang Xian to dinner every day, but they have been rejected by him for various reasons. Although the scholars are full of complaints, they will not let Mr. Wang calm down, and the old men will take care of them in their own way.
The arrogant scholar had no choice but to come to the Yamen to report the matter, hoping to impress Wang Xian with his sincerity.
In their words, "Sincerity leads to gold and stone," but they didn't expect that Wang Xian's stone was too difficult to open, so they returned six times without success.
Fortunately, this seventh time, we finally got some clues. At least Wang Xian said: "When do you plan to go swimming in the West Lake?"
All the scholars were stunned, and then they realized that Wang Xian had been refusing to keep the appointment because he remembered Liang Zi who had lost the bet during the Lantern Festival, but did not want to fulfill it and actually left his women and ran away.
"This..." Li Yu apologized and said with a smile, "That was just a joke. I offended a lot of people at that time. Please forgive me."
"When we made the contract, it was not a joke." Wang Xian said calmly: "If I hadn't been called to the boat, I would have been thrown into the West Lake by you."
"No, no, how is it possible?" All the scholars hurriedly denied: "It's just a joke."
"He is a person who has no faith and can't even make a bet or make a contract," Wang Xian said expressionlessly, "I don't know what to talk about with him."
All the scholars were speechless. After a long while, Li Xiucai said with difficulty: "It would be too shameful to swim in the river. In that case, we would no longer be human beings. Could you please be accommodating and use other methods instead?"
Wang Xian was silent for a long time with an unhappy look on his face, then Fang slowly nodded and said, "Okay."
All the scholars were delighted and said: "As long as we don't go into the river, we can do whatever you want us to do!"
"That's what you said." A sneer appeared on Wang Xian's lips.
