"Sichuan is under our full control, Zhili must also hurry up!"
"Don't be conservative, be more courageous, and use the same spirit that you used to kill Wen Fu, Hei Agui, and Fu San, young master!"
Shuan Zhu tried his best to persuade the young master to start a major prison case in Zhili, so as to prove that his hard work over the years was not in vain.
"Your Excellency, don't have any worries. You must correct any mistakes you make, and you must show your full energy!"
"If you cannot go further, we will be swallowed up by the torrential flood!"
Sure enough, the two pillars merged, and Baozhu spared no effort to sell his brother's plan to the president.
If your Excellency accepts it, then Director Yang will owe him another hundred taels.
"It is possible to take a humble position. Although this matter is criticized by others, it is so that the people of Zhili can live a good life. For the sake of a better tomorrow for the Qing Dynasty, you must not be benevolent as a woman!"
Deputy Director Ding did not collude with Erzhu, but he also agreed with the idea of using the prison to purge the Zhili officialdom.
Because so far, in addition to Yang Jingsu, the governor of Zhili, Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin, Wan Chaoxing, the governor of Zhili, Ye Qing, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin, Fan Wei, the prefect of Baoding, Demu, the commander-in-chief of Suiyuan, and Ruilin, the deputy commander of Rehe, there are many others.
Except for the officials, almost all the officials in Zhili Province have nothing to do with Mr. Jia Jia.
Outside Tianjin, none of the provincial deputy-level Daotai in Wudao Tongyong, Bachang, Qinghe, Rehe, and Koubei directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Government has the surname Jia. This is very fatal, because although the Daotai level is lower than the Buzheng level, it is still
Higher than the prefect, he can be said to be the backbone of a provincial official and the key link between past and future.
If officials at this level are not members of the Jia Party or Tongjin, how can they ensure that the Governor's orders are implemented at the grassroots level through normal administrative means?
In the eight major prefectures of Zhengding, Daming, Shunde, Guangping, Hejian, Chengde, Chaoyang, Xuanhua, and Yongping, there is no one with the surname Jia serving as department-level prefect, department deputy magistrate, or tongpan.
The following division-level prefectures and counties are not mentioned here.
In other words, Master Jia Jia's current control over Zhili is limited to the top level, and the middle and lower-level officials are completely free.
These officials were also loyal to the Qing Dynasty and could not understand the true meaning of common progress with the governor-general.
Most officials' impressions of the Governor-General are based on the trip report in the "Qing Daily" and the recently published portrait.
Apart from this, what impression do these officials have of the Governor?
Due to the Qing Dynasty's unique official appointment system of "taking three jobs and selling seven", the officialdom of various provinces, including Zhili, was actually rigid, dogmatic, decadent, and dark from top to bottom.
What can you do with a group of officials who only know how to engage in corruption and bribery and flatter others?
The reason why Chairman Li is able to control development so well in Sichuan is not because Chairman Li is so good at managing people, but because the advanced system of the Gongjin Association has played a huge role in Sichuan.
The construction of the Zhili Joint Progress Association is still on paper.
In this case, of course we cannot expect that the Zhili officialdom will all turn to the governor Jia Liu, completely obey his plans and orders, and fully implement his policy concepts of large-scale development and large-scale reform.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that 10% of officials are available, but this 10% of officials obviously cannot change anything compared to the officialdom as a whole.
No matter how fiercely the Governor shouts or emphasizes in the newspapers, most places will still do their own thing, or engage in some formalism to fool their superiors.
The reason is that some of the instructions issued by Jia Liu in the past few months are essentially valuing business and technology, which actually conflicts with the education officials have received since childhood.
Among scholars, farmers, and merchants, merchants were at the bottom of the pile, not to mention those craftsmen who were not popular among the people.
The so-called science and technology, in the eyes of these officials, are actually just miscellaneous, the kind that are lost in playing with things.
All in all, what kind of industry, what kind of Western trade, what kind of provincial roads and county roads are engaged in, isn't this a waste of people and money?
As a result, apart from the stimulation of interests, Jia Liu, the governor-general, actually has no good means to mobilize the officials below and mobilize the entire province to invest in reforms unprecedented in ancient and modern times.
But except for Tianjin, other places will not gain much benefit from industry and trade in the short term. This is destined that Jia Liu's beautiful wishes will be slowly diluted by the existing bureaucracy, and may even be used in disguise, creating some four differences.
We cannot rule out the possibility that Jia Liu will move forward and the officials will retreat.
Or something even more ridiculous might happen.
The backward bureaucracy may not dare to confront the governor Jia Liu head-on, but they are fully capable of expanding the governor's orders and causing disastrous consequences, thereby proving that the governor is acting indiscriminately.
Those who are bolder may incite civil unrest and attack the authority of Jia Liu, the minister of the direct governor-general.
The public opinion is coming together, and I can't suppress it even if I want to.
In short, in Shuan Zhu's view, whether it is the industrial development carried out by the young master, Beiyang trade, or land consolidation and other matters, relying on the current team of Zhili officials to advance, he is optimistic that he can move forward under strong suppression, but he will definitely
It's the climbing kind.
Not efficient.
And what did the young master emphasize in the "Qing Daily" recently?
Time is money, efficiency is life!
If we don’t talk about anything else, let’s talk about what Deputy Director Ding just mentioned about setting up a pilot project in Yongping.
Without an official team that firmly centers on the young master and takes the young master as the leader in everything, how many of the current Zhili officials dare to touch the cake of the bannermen?
Therefore, when he encouraged the young master to launch a civil prison, he did not really want to punish people, but wanted to use this civil prison to remove all obstacles to the young master's reform and new policies.
Otherwise, the Zhili officials will hold the young master back.
"You mean people have to rely on themselves?"
Jia Liu tapped his index finger and thought seriously about the feasibility of launching a large-scale prison sentence in Zhili.
"Tall buildings rise from the ground. You can only rely on yourself for glory, young master!"
Shuan Zhu quoted a poem written by the young master a few months ago when he first took office as the governor of Zhili to express the importance and urgency of establishing a team of officials named Jia.
"Yes, society is very simple, it is the officials who are complicated."
Jia Liu was persuaded, and the idea of initiating civil prisons in Zhili could be said to be a very bold idea, but it was not illegal because the imperial court encouraged the use of civil prisons to combat anti-Qing thoughts.
This is the national policy of the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties that continues to this day.
As a governor and the most loyal follower of the Qing Dynasty, Jia Liu had no reason not to carry forward Wen Yu.
Maybe Qianlong would be very happy.
In terms of prisons, Qianlong could be said to be crazy. In the forty-one years since he ascended the throne, he had captured more than 40 provincial officials who had been neglected in prisons or had lenient sentences. Among them were Yin Jishan, the governor of Liangjiang, and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.
Er Jishan, Governor Echang of Jiangxi and other Manchurian dignitaries.
Therefore, Jia Liu's establishment of a literary prison in Da Zhili was in line with Qianlong's interests and was Qianlong's consistent pursuit.
Even the rich man won't say that he has spun a web into a prison and harmed everyone.
Prison is like a sharp sword that points anyone to death.
But who to refer to is actually subject to discussion.
Shuan Zhu aimed his spearhead at the Yongping officialdom, that is, the sword of civil prison was not pointed at ordinary people, but specifically at officials.
This is called using the sword of the Fourth Japs to chop at the people of the Fourth Japs.
It is also a pilot project. It is necessary not only to bring down the current official team in Yongping, but also to ensure that the government system is not paralyzed. Eventually, all "official" personnel below the prefect of Yongping Prefecture will be named Jia, and then this work will be promoted to the whole province. There is no doubt that
It is a very complex and large-scale project, and it is also very challenging.
"Okay, let's start with Yongping Prefecture. Shuan Zhu, you will replace Gui Tu and take up the post of Yongping Prefecture first and take charge of related work."
Jia Liu was not an indecisive person, so he made the decision immediately, and then he patted Zhuan Zhu who was overjoyed with great importance, saying with a sense of humor: "Sorry for those officials, you have to bear the curse for me."
