Chengdu, Sichuan Governor's Office has just opened. Except for one person who is responsible for cleaning, there is no other staff, and there is not even a candidate for governor. Deng Ming accompanied Gong Yan to inspect the Governor's Office and asked the other party: "What does Mr. Gong think of this yamen?"

Gong Yan looked at the building that was much smaller than the prefect's yamen and shook his head: "This is clearly a yard."

"There are several rooms, and the Governor's yamen is not very big, so why do you want a large yard? Now the housing prices in the capital are getting more and more expensive." In order to save money, the Governor's yamen is not even on Chunxi Road - I found a small house in the south of Chengdu, and hung a plaque to see the address of the Governor's yamen.

The prefectural yamen in Chengdu is not small now, but it is a historical issue, so Deng Ming agreed, and it was not used by Liu Jinge's family. The Taxation Bureau and the Ex-Sheng Yamen also lived there. Qin Xiucai and He Daoning wanted to move out, but because there was not a sufficiently powerful new yamen, it was not a long time since they were not in the new yamen.

Deng Ming believed that the yamen was an office place, so the Governor's yamen did not have a residential area for officials and had no courtyards, which saved a lot of area at once. Moreover, the Governor's yamen also had no judicial and tax rights, so naturally there was no need for too many offices, nor did the courts and other ancillary facilities. In the end, I felt that such a yard was in full swing.

In addition to the function issue, the more critical reason is that the Governor's yamen has no master now. Liu Jinge's yamen is unwilling to spend a lot of money to purchase land and decorate the Governor's yamen. He said that if he wanted to pay, Xuzhou would not be able to stay in his spare time and should fulfill the responsibilities of the subordinate institutions; but Xuzhou disagreed, saying that since the Governor's yamen is located in Chengdu, the expenses should be borne by the Chengdu yamen alone. Now it only needs to pay a small courtyard, and the Chengdu yamen is very satisfied, and the Chengdu yamen is also very satisfied (the Empire Parliament has been dissolved again, but the Chengdu Parliament has been held for a longer time, and there are signs of becoming a permanent one).

Xiong Lan's banking system will definitely not pay the Governor's yamen, and Qin Xiucai's tax system is the same. Then the Dongfeng of the Governor's yamen was established. Qin Xiucai successfully persuaded everyone not to oppose setting up a separate office for the Provincial Taxation Bureau. The Taxation Bureau bought a large piece of land on Chunxi Road, intending to flatten the original shops on it and build a new office location. The old houses in the prefect's yamen courtyard can be left for Chengdu's tax purposes - buying land, building houses, and decoration. The budget for the new office building of the Taxation Bureau is more than 200,000 yuan.

"This house cost 300 yuan," Deng Ming told Gong Yong. It was because of only such a little money that Liu Jinge generously stated that the money would not be shared by Xuzhou. Before the establishment of the Governor's Office, the Chengdu Prefectural Office was willing to bear the wages of the cleaning person, which was also considered a filial piety to the superior institutions: "I think it's good, and there are four houses inside and outside, clean them up, paste windows, and then put on tables and chairs to open them, without any trouble."

For the time being, the job of the Sichuan Governor's Office is to calculate the amount of provincial taxes collected by the tax bureau, determine how to spend it, and then instruct the tax bureau to allocate it to the local government, that is, the prefectural government in Chengdu or Xuzhou, and supervise their spending. Therefore, a house that settles accounts is indispensable, a governor's own office, a house that is publicly used by his staff, and a living room and a tea room.

"If you want to add personnel in the future, you don't have to worry about the place." Now the military power in Sichuan is not in the hands of the Governor's Office, and each pavilion is also subordinate to the prefect's office. However, things are hard to say in the future. Therefore, Deng Ming paid out of his own pocket to buy the two yards next door, and added a large section of wasteland a little further away. If the Governor's Office needs it in the future, he can buy the land from Deng Ming and build a house. The Governor's Office is located here, so there is still potential for land appreciation in the future. Deng Ming can also use insider information to invest.

"If there is no good candidate, I can get this governor first." Deng Ming finally said, "The position of this governor is not willing to come, and it is not suitable to randomly assign someone without qualifications. After thinking about it, Deng Ming felt that it was a good way to serve him as a part-time job. After all, most of the traditional power of the governor of Sichuan is in his hands now.

After saying this, Deng Ming, Gong Yong and a few guards walked out the door because there was nothing good about this little house. Before leaving, Deng Ming also instructed the old man who was looking at the yard: "Don't forget to lock the door when leaving."

"Yes." This old man had just immigrated from Zhejiang and went out to do odd jobs to subsidize his son's household income. He was just asked by a mysterious official in the prefectural office and asked if he would be willing to look at the yard for the governor's office and would also give him a salary of 120 yuan a month. The old man almost fainted happily - he was the gatekeeper or the gatekeeper leader. Such a good thing would actually fall on him, a person who had no relatives and no reason. What luck was this?

The facts proved that his luck was really not very good. After seeing this house, the old man felt a cold heart. If he hadn't really known that the person who assigned the task was an official from the Chengdu Yamen, he would have really suspected that he had encountered a liar. He personally hung the plaque of "Sichuan Governor's Yamen" in front of the door, but occasionally the pedestrians passing by did not give much attention to the house because of this. Maybe they all thought it was just a farce - a guy who had nothing to do hung a big sign on his door in this secluded place, and the Chengdu Yamen either didn't know or were too lazy to care about it, just like those passing by.

Today, the famous Duke Baoguo came to visit and issued some instructions on the yamen. For the uncle, this was probably the most exciting time for him to find this job. He planned to talk to his sons and talk about this matter when he got home from get off work today.

In the past two days, Deng Ming and Gong Yan took Gong Yan to various yamen in Chengdu, and asked him politely what other party had any suggestions for improvement. Gong Yan also honestly told Deng Ming that he had no idea. If the organizational structure of Sichuan was developed from the original Ming government, Gong Yan might be able to make some suggestions for modification. However, in addition to following the name "Prince, Excerpt of the Secretariat", the Sichuan government and the traditional government known to Gong Yan have no similarities. So far, Gong Yan has not yet figured out the principle of cooperation in the operation of the cooperation. Where can we make any suggestions for improvement?

After leaving the Governor's Yamen, Deng Ming returned to the Standing Army Command, which was his main stop in Chengdu. Even if he served as the Governor of Sichuan in the future, Deng Ming would probably choose to work here. In the past, Deng Ming often stayed in the Chengdu Prefectural Office because there were several structures there, which would be convenient for anyone to find. But now the chaotic yamen in the prefectural office is not suitable for work. In addition to Qin Xiucai's taxation, He Daoning's Examination Office was also busy preparing to move. After the Governor's Yamen announced its establishment, He Daoning took this opportunity to take his own yamen.

Upgrading to the provincial level, although He Daoning is not as rich as the Taxation Bureau, he has the backbone of the Death Office. After hearing that the Death Office was upgraded to the provincial level, Liu Jinge generously expressed his willingness to pay for He Dao Ning to repair the yamen. The congratulatory letters from the Xuzhou Prefectural Prefecture and the Death Office also expressed his willingness to share part of the cost. The Chengdu Parliament and the State Council of Xuzhou approved the grants very happily - He Daoning also held a big stick for convictions to be "unconstitutional". No one dared to step on the yamen without a governor, but no one was willing to provoke the Death Office.

"Mr. Gong should have some understanding of Wu Sangui, right?" Deng Ming asked.

"Wu thief..." Gong Yong snorted and asked back: "Why did the Duke ask this?"

When he first arrived in this world, Deng Ming was very afraid of Wu Sangui because this person was so famous. However, after traveling through time for more than four years, Deng Ming found that his original impression of Wu Sangui was really different from the reality.

First of all, it was military strength. Deng Ming felt that the other party seemed not as strong as he had imagined at the beginning. Liu Tichun repeatedly stated that Wu Sangui was not particularly powerful. If it weren't for the Qing Dynasty, Li Zicheng would never lose to him. Zhao Tianba also said that Wu Sangui had been defeated by Liu Wenxiu many times, forcing him to retreat in a mess. If Liu Wenxiu hadn't been careless in Baoning, he would have driven him out of Shaanxi. Deng Ming himself also felt that Wu Sangui seemed quite conservative and could even be called inaction. Only Wu Sangui performed well in attacking Shuixi. His quick victory made Deng Ming and Li Dingguo both wary, but then Wu Sangui re-cut again, lay in Guiyang and did not move, and missed the best opportunity to attack Yunnan.

The second is Wu Sangui's reputation. In Deng Ming's impression of his previous life, Wu Sangui was a rat crossing the street that everyone called him to beat; but now he has a very good reputation. People who support the Ming Dynasty think that Wu Sangui had the last resort to the Qing Dynasty, and he had never fought with the Ming army's direct lineage. Even if he attacked Yunnan, it can be considered as his deep disgust for the bandits. Not to mention the Qing court, Wu Sangui was simply a representative of loyalty and righteousness. Such a loyal and righteous veteran surrendered to the Qing court, which further demonstrated the destiny of the Qing court.

Among scholars, officers and even the people at the bottom, Wu Sangui had a very good image. When he was in Kunming, Li Dingguo also privately told Deng Ming that he believed that Wu Sangui was like Jiang Xiang and Jin Shengheng in the past, and was the object that could be won over.

In the eyes of Wen Anzhi, Zhu Shunshui and others, Wu Sangui was even much better than Jiang Xiang, Jin Shengheng and others before, because Wu Sangui did not surrender like Jiang Xiang, or attacked the imperial troops like Jin Shengheng, which shows that he had a stronger relationship with the Ming Dynasty deep in his heart, and could withstand the pressure from the Qing court and not do things that went against his heart.
