There is absolutely no problem for Shuan Zhu to relieve the young master's worries. The problem is that he can either directly become a prefect like Fan Wei, or he can preside over prison-related work as the director of the governor's office. What does it mean to be a temporary prefect?
Does this temporary position have a grade? Does it count as a prefect or not?
It sounds nondescript.
As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not be correct, so Shuan Zhu hopes that the young master can give him a chance to prove himself, a stage where he can show his talents, and a real official seal, rather than an official title that appears out of thin air.
"Is there a 24-year-old prefect in the Qing Dynasty?"
Jia Liu rolled his eyes at Shuan Zhu angrily.
The implication is that you, Shuan Zhu, must be self-aware. Don't think that the young master loves you, likes you, but you are too young in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty. Your background is not as brilliant as the young master, and your backstage is not as strong and smart as the young master.
He is not as open-minded as the young master, and his ability cannot catch up with the young master's ass.
How could he be Bailihou's immediate boss, the mayor?
"The Qing Dynasty did not have a 24-year-old prefect, but it had a 22-year-old governor and a 21-year-old general!"
If the young master had used other reasons, Shuan Zhu would admit it, but he was not convinced about his age.
The young master in front of him was younger than him, and Feng Sheng, who was about to be blackballed, had an even smaller forehead.
Besides, the emperor also likes to use young people.
The fourth Japanese devil's employment is about rejuvenating senior officials.
The younger the better.
Otherwise, the group of teenagers behind the young master would be serving as ministers and ministers, and where would the dead A Piao come from?
Therefore, age is not a factor considered by the prefect at all. If age must be considered, then youth would have an advantage.
"My man is determined to be an official. I will follow the young master to the mountains of swords and seas of fire, and I will be loyal. I can't be inferior to a traitor like Fan Wei, right?"
Shuan Zhu looked aggrieved and expressed his strong protest to the young master for the first time in his life. It was also the first time in his life that he asked the young master for an official position.
Deep down in my heart, I thought that if I became the prefect, Qiutao would definitely be the prefect's wife, and she would be very happy.
Upon seeing this, Baozhu quickly spoke up: "Your Excellency, Director Yang is fully qualified and has the ability to serve as the prefect of Yongping. This is recognized by everyone! Besides, didn't you often say that as long as an official can write, it will be fine? Yang
The director's handwriting is very good, and I am ashamed of myself. I applaud him with both hands when he becomes the prefect!"
Baozhu, who is illiterate, said this out of conscience.
After saying that, he gave Shuan Zhu a look, which means you should know better.
The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and Deputy Director Ding also expressed his opinion: "Director Yang holds many positions, is both civil and military, and can be called a military and political talent. He is also a confidant of the Lord. Furthermore, Yongping is the experimental point for the family division of Qitian, and is also a civil prison.
A demonstration point of work must have a trusted person in charge to make people feel at ease. If you let others sit here, you can rest assured."
Speaking of this, Deputy Director Ding paused and said worriedly: "Sir, you don't want anything to happen to this pilot project in Yongping, right?"
Seeing that Deputy Director Ding also spoke for him, Shuan Zhu felt more confident and looked at the young master with his head held high and his face earnest.
"I feel like you are walking on a dangerous path, and that worries me."
Jia Liu looked at the three giants in Xingyuan with resentment.
"Master, what do you mean?"
Shuan Zhu was stunned and confused.
Ding Qing was also confused. What's the danger? What's there to worry about?
Baozhu hesitated and said: "What do you mean?"
Jia Liu did not answer, but instead readily agreed to Shuan Zhu's appointment as the prefect of Yongping. There was no problem with the procedure, because the old rich man had given him part of the power of appointment and dismissal of Zhili officials.
That is, if the military officer is below the third rank and the civil servant is below the fourth rank, he, as the direct governor, can be directly appointed and removed, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs can just go through the formalities.
Previously, I wanted Shuan Zhu to be appointed as the prefect of Yongping. The main reason was that Shuan Zhu was not qualified enough and had no specific administrative experience.
After all, although Shuan Zhu was also a fourth-grade military commander before, this military commander did not actually manage affairs. If he did manage, he would only be in charge of a few hundred people.
But the fourth-grade Yongping prefect was in charge of hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers of land and millions of people.
Therefore, I was worried that Shuan Zhu would not be able to do well as the prefect.
I didn't expect Shuan Zhu's reaction to be so strong. Fan Wei, a half-monk, has become a prefect. There is no reason why his most loyal partner should not be given the job of a prefect.
As for what he was worried about, it was actually a matter of mental illness.
It is said that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and wherever there are rivers and lakes, there are factions.
In the Qing Dynasty, there were co-progress societies and mutual aid societies; there were royalists and anti-royalists.
Naturally, people around Jia Liu in the secular world will also have small groups.
Blood ties, interests, beliefs, and various factors including locality will automatically classify people.
To put it in a child's terms, I play with him, not with you.
Obviously, because they are often together, a small group headed by Shuan Zhu, Baozhu, and Ding Qing has formed around Jia Liu. Fan Wei, who may have been appointed as the prefect of Baoding, is also a member of this small group. It is not excluded that Li An'an is also a member of this small group.
Jamur, Laiwang, and Demu are also part of this small circle.
At present, this small group has not yet shown obvious corporatization, but in the future it will definitely form a corporate force that can compete in the court.
If I have to describe it, this small group is the Royal Camp Sect.
Similarly, Asha, Queenie, and Yang Jingsu will also form a group.
Bo Qing'e and Li Shijie who are far away in Sichuan; Zu Yingyuan, Wang Fu and Bao Guozhong who are far away in Huguang; and Yang Yuchun and Liu De who are training in Taiwan will spontaneously form small groups.
It was precisely these small groups that formed the Gongjinhui and built Jia Liu's basic base, enabling him to become the youngest feudal lord in the Qing Dynasty, and most likely the youngest Emperor Taizu in history.
Jia Liu was worried that now everyone's common enemy is the Qing Dynasty. In the future, if the Jia family dynasty is established, these small groups without a common enemy will form their own spheres of influence in the court and local areas, and will continue to fight with each other, which will affect Jia Liu.
The stability and development of family dynasties?
This worry is not unfounded.
Maybe the Manchu faction and the Han faction will compete with each other.
Later parties, princelings, pro-prince parties and so on.
No matter how wise Jia Liu was, the dynasty he founded could not avoid the shortcomings of any feudal dynasty.
This is the inevitability of historical development and an indispensable factor in social development. It is a phenomenon that no one can stop.
However, Jia Liu did not intend to stifle or suppress the internal gang competition. Instead, he wanted to add fuel to the fire and let the various small groups headed by himself continue to grow and each form a certain spokesperson for power.
Because he is confident enough to let the competition in this gang develop in a healthy direction. The reason is that he is not a human being at all.
A centuries-old ghost still can't deal with the various "painful diseases" caused by the transition from the feudal era to the capital era?
Give Jia sixty and fifty years, and he can turn the British Isles into the scraps of the empire, and make the American continent the most dazzling pearl of the empire.
The prefect has given it, and now Jia Liu wants to hear how Shuan Zhu governs Yongping, how to carry out civil prisons, and how to minimize the impact of civil prisons on the Yongping government system.
It's just the exam.
When it came to governing a government, Shuan Zhu came and talked a lot, most of which sounded familiar to Jia Liu. They were all published by him in the "Qing Daily".
It is inappropriate to call it a cliche, because these principles are indeed good ways to govern a place.
It is appropriate to say that it is not a cliche, because these principles have been cliche for more than two thousand years.
"If you can really govern according to what you just said, then you will not be qualified as a prefect, but absolutely excellent."
Jia Liu nodded and signaled Shuan Zhu to answer the questions on the spot in the prison.
There is no need to answer how to attack this area, because Jia Liu is not as good as Shuan Zhu in this field.
The key point is how to ensure the normal operation of the government system while combating the attack.
Shuan Zhu knew that this was his platform, so he clarified his thoughts and answered seriously.
The first is to attract foreign aid.
What is foreign aid?
That is to ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs to cooperate with the Sichuan authorities to mobilize a group of experienced grassroots members to take up posts in Zhili. This can alleviate the "official shortage" caused by prisons.
"There is a shortage of official positions?"
Jia Liu smiled, the new word invented by Shuan Zhu sounded quite familiar.
It's also quite ridiculous.
It's a pity that there will always be a shortage of officials.
Shuan Zhu said: "The first batch doesn't need to be large. I think a hundred people are enough."
Then another measure was proposed, which was to pay attention to the selection of low-level officials with available talents during the crackdown and entrust them to reuse. This involves the issue of who will rebel against the Qing Dynasty and who will not.
Jia Liu pointed out the key question: "Can you tell who is the available talent?"
Shuan Zhu was confident: "Those who are loyal to the young master may not be talented people, but those who are not loyal to the young master are definitely not talented people."
"That makes sense!"
Jia Liu's eyes lit up. This formulation was advancing with the times and in line with the general policy of Zhili's reform.
"In the early days of the civil war, we were going to crack down on the government officials, county chief officials, second-ranking officials, and senior officials. Basically, these people have problems, and it is impossible to ensure whether they are loyal to the young master. The young master can allocate a group of personnel from each room of the governor's office to me.
In order to supervise the normal operation of the county government, it is just a transition period, and the vacancies will be filled after people from Sichuan come in."
Shuan Zhu's idea can be summed up as pulling out carrots.
Pull them out one by one, rather than piece by piece, so as to prevent the administrative system from being paralyzed due to the defeat of officials.
"Don't attack those who are honest and upright, lest the common people scold you. Regardless of whether you are talented or not, you should make arrangements as appropriate."
Jia Liu specially warned.
"Don't worry, sir. The local officials must have been unjust if they brought them all out and chopped them off. They chopped off every other person to make sure that no one slips through the net."
Ding Qing has worked in criminal investigation in Sichuan for more than 20 years, and he is very familiar with the corruption and darkness in the officialdom. He does not think there are many honest officials in Yongping Prefecture.
Hearing this, Jia Liu said unhappily: "Don't make any arbitrary results before conducting an investigation. Everything should be based on the actual investigation results. If he is an upright official, then take him out of prison, if not, deal with him severely. In short, I am still that way
As the old saying goes, don’t wrongly accuse a bad person, and don’t let a good person go.”
After saying that, I thought about something wrong and quickly corrected it: "Don't let a good person go, and don't unjustly accuse a bad person!"
"嗻!"
The three giants of Xingyuan responded at the same time.
Jia Liu was satisfied and asked Shuan Zhu again: "Does Mr. Yang have anything to add?"
"No, that's all for now, I should be able to handle it."
Shuan Zhu feels the same.
"Gone?"
Jia Liu hated it and said, "Why is it gone? First, why didn't you think of cultivating your own talent team so that you can replace incompetent officials at any time? Second, why didn't you think of mobilizing the people to achieve top-down governance?
If we manage it directly, will it be much smoother to divide the flag fields when the time comes?"
