It was already dark, and Li Yihai returned to the square with several other members of the Habayashi Guards who had become police officers. They said at the gate of the square: "Gather here at five or four tomorrow morning and go to the government office together." Then they dispersed.
Everyone went back to their homes.
When Li Yihai returned to his home, his second son Li Sizhou came up to him and said, "Dad is back?"
Li Yihai handed him the coat he took off and asked, "How was your reading today?"
"The teacher in the school has learned Mencius and is interpreting it chapter by chapter." Li Sizhou said.
Li Yihai touched his head and said, "You must study hard."
"Yes." Li Sizhou nodded in agreement.
While he was talking, he had already returned to the house. The eldest daughter-in-law Yang came up to her with a smile and said, "Dad is back?"
Li Yihai agreed and looked at the back of his daughter-in-law who went back to work with some emotion: when he was no longer useful to the family, although his daughter-in-law didn't say it clearly, she couldn't hide her disgust.
Now that he is making a living again, working as a policeman in Yingtian Mansion, his monthly salary is more than that of being a soldier in the Shang Twelve Guards. His daughter-in-law no longer looks down on him, and her brother-in-law and sister-in-law look much better.
'Your Majesty's kindness is truly higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.' Li Yihai thought.
After a while, dinner was ready. Li Yihai sat in the front seat, his wife Xu sat beside him, his daughter-in-law Yang sat on the left, the second son sat on the right, and the youngest daughter sat under the second son and started eating.
While eating, Li Yihai said: "Mr. Yang,"
Yang agreed: "Dad?"
"I thought about it. I currently have a salary of eight shi a month and a 'subsidy' of 600 yuan. Our family still has a few yuan left over. If I save money for four or five months, I can buy one piece."
The land is used to build a house for the second brother."
Mrs. Yang was a little unhappy, as this would cost her money; but it would be outrageous not to build a house for her second uncle. The house at home was not big. Of course, when her second uncle got married in the future, he would have to live separately, and she would not
Dare to object.
However, she made some calculations and said: "Dad, materials and labor are not cheap now. Especially when building a house, you have to hire experienced craftsmen with many years of experience to guide you. I'm afraid it won't be enough to save money for four or five months."
"It's okay. Although I'm inspecting the North City now, we have brothers in the guards who are inspecting the Nancheng. The craftsmen in the Nancheng have said that if their brothers build a house, they can get 20% off the asking price. As for the materials, we can also discuss with the material dealer.
20% cheaper.”
This is the invisible income of grassroots public officials. As patrol policemen who deal with ordinary people every day, although they work harder than criminal policemen, because they often deal with ordinary people, even if they do not blackmail them, ordinary people will actively give them various preferential treatment
.Why can’t developers give some discounts to even the grassroots workers in the land bureau, housing management bureau, and newly established real estate trading center who buy houses in later generations?
After hearing this, Yang did the math again, and sure enough, the money was enough. He smiled and said, "It's much more affordable for me to be a policeman than a soldier. Being a top soldier is just a small salary, but it's because we are in the upper ten."
Only the second guard has a salary, not other guards."
"Being a policeman not only brings you a salary, but also various miscellaneous benefits. If you can be like the subordinate officials in the past, you can earn money from ordinary people's homes..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Yihai interrupted: "Don't talk nonsense! If you are caught, not only will your job as a police officer be lost, but your job in Sanzhou will also be unsafe. You don't dare to do such a thing. Besides, Your Majesty, you are so kind.
How can we, the crippled people, still have a livelihood but not be grateful to His Majesty for His great grace? How can we extort money from the people?"
Yang was very timid, and when she heard Li Yihai say that it would affect her husband Li Sanzhou's errands, she did not dare to say anything.
Li Yihai said again: "Mr. Yang, I have no time now. When you come back from Sanzhou's vacation, tell him to learn how to read! He should have heard about it in the army. Nowadays, literate people are promoted quickly, even if they can't become
A well-trained general can raise a small flag or a general flag."
Yang agreed.
The family was eating and talking, and after a while the meal was over and they dispersed. Li Yihai returned to his room, thought about something again, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
At the beginning of the next day, Li Yihai got up, washed up, had breakfast cooked by his daughter-in-law, and then went out.
After waiting at the gate of the square for a short while, everyone arrived and headed to Yingtianfu Yamen together.
As they walked, they were still chatting with each other. One of them said: "Have you heard that Lord Fu Yin is going to set up patrol police offices in the south and north of the city, with two general magistrates serving as offices?"
"Isn't this the same as the previous Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division? There is a general magistrate in Yingtian Mansion. Shangyuan and Jiangning counties are located in the east and west. If we set up patrol police offices in the south and north of the city, it will really be the same as the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
." Li Yihai said.
"It doesn't matter what the difference is! But it's hard work for the brothers who are transferred to the south branch of the city. It's the same thing. We live in the north of the city and have to leave home early."
When everyone thought about this, of course those assigned to the south of the city were a little unhappy, but those assigned to the north were happy: they could be a little later.
When a few people walked to Yingtian Mansion Office, it was already broad daylight, and everyone went to look for their Shangguan to order.
…
…
"Lord Fu Yin, the patrol officers in Beicheng have already called the numbers, no one is missing."
"Lord Fu Yin, the patrol police in Zhongcheng have already called on you, no one is missing."
"Lord Fu Yin, the patrol officers in Nancheng have already called the number, no one is missing."
"Lord Fu Yin, the Shangyuan County patrol police have already called the numbers, and no one is missing."
"Lord Fu Yin, Jiangning County patrol police have already called on you, no one is missing."
The three magistrates and two county captains stood upright and reported one after another.
"Okay. Sit down first." Huang Huai said while sitting in the lobby.
Several people sat down one after another.
Huang Huai then ordered: "Next, I will arrange the matters for today. Your Majesty said that a police station will be set up in the capital."
"What is a police station?" someone asked boldly.
"The police station, as the name suggests, is where the police are dispatched. In fact, it is to set up a stationary police station near each village. If anything happens, they can rush to the scene immediately to deal with it..." Huang Huai gave a rough explanation according to Yun Xi's words.
Now, after conducting an inventory of the entire city, Yunxi finally set up a police station to control the capital.
But after listening to Huang Huai's explanation, they were still confused. However, although they still didn't know what the purpose of the 'police station' was, Huang Huai was now their immediate boss. Whatever he said, as long as it wasn't something that everyone couldn't do
Everyone will do what is required. At this time, a general judge said: "Sir, we will set up a police station immediately. But how to set up this police station? Does your Excellency have regulations?"
Huang Huai said: "The military residence in the northwest is not under the jurisdiction of the Tianfu, and all the guard stations handle matters themselves; the northeast is the palace, and there is no need for patrol police. There are no police stations in these two places."
"There are many noble mansions in the east, and many official mansions and public rental housing for officials in the southeast. We can't control them. However, we still set up a few police stations. If there is any violation of curfew or domestic slaves breaking the law, even if we can't control them on the spot, we can
You need to record it and report it to me."
"More facilities will be built in other places," Huang Huai pointed to the southwest on the map, "Especially here, close to the ferry, there are many merchants, there are many brothels, houses, and houses, and the people are the most complicated.
There must be more of them.”
"So there are thirty-six police stations in the south of the city, eighteen in the east of the city, eighteen in the northwest of the city, twenty-six in the middle of the city, and forty-nine in the southwest of the city, for a total of one hundred and forty-seven police stations. Counting the director of each station
Twelve people, divided into two shifts, half of them go out on patrol every day, and half of them stay inside. The rest of the patrol policemen still stay in the patrol office."
"Patrol officers assigned to the police station still go to the patrol yamen every day to do their rounds, and then go to the station after doing their rounds. When they are off duty, they also go to the yamen."
"..."
Huang Huai gave orders one by one regarding the establishment of a police station.
Everyone agreed and listened to Huang Huai's instructions before retreating.
…
…
A few days later, Huang Huai entered the palace, met with Yunxi and said, "Your Majesty, all police stations in the city have been set up."
"Has the establishment been completed?" Yunxi stood up and stamped his feet, thinking.
Yunxi had been thinking before, setting up a police station and inspecting the whole city, whether to crack down on the gangsters and bullies first, change the customs first, or change the industrial and commercial tax first. He didn't think about the result at that time, so Yunxi postponed it.
It has finally come to this point and can no longer be delayed.
Yunxi walked around and around, but he still couldn't figure out what to do first, so he asked the people in Zhongshushe next to him: "I want to punish the little gangsters and bullies, I also want to change customs, and I also want to change the industrial and commercial tax. Among them...
..., so what do you think you should do first?”
These people said in unison: "Your Majesty, of course we must first punish the gangsters and bullies so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
Yunxi was stunned for a moment: 'How come they all agree with each other?' Then he understood: 'They all believe in Confucianism, believe in frivolous corvee and low taxes, and are not interested in what I said about changing customs, so they all say this in unanimous agreement.'
Yunxi thought for a while, but had no clue. He turned around and saw another foot-thick pile of memorials. He sighed and sat down again to criticize the memorials.
Yunxi was absent-mindedly criticizing the memorial while thinking about this matter. At this time, he took a copy of the memorial, glanced at the title, and wanted to open the memorial and copy down the articles drafted by Guo Zhenpiao, but suddenly he thought of
What? I turned back to the cover, took a closer look at the title, and my eyes lit up.
Yunxi quickly copied down the articles drafted by Guo Zhenpiao, and then said to Huang Huai, "Come here."
After listening to Yun Xi's words, Huang Huai said: "This, this, your Majesty, is still..." It is reasonable to investigate this matter, but as an official of the imperial court, he felt that it was important to investigate, so he wanted to refuse.
.
Although what he said was unclear, Yunxi already understood what he meant and said: "You let Li Guan enter the palace. I will make him responsible."
Huang Huai breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and left.
Yunxi put the memorial aside and saw on the cover: "Severely punish the border troops for privately plundering civilian women."
