Chapter 046
Inspector Jin Xiang, on behalf of Zhang Liao, performed his duties as inspecting counties and townships, inspected everywhere in Xihe County, and promulgated the work of government and laws.
The chief clerk Wen Hui and Gongcao Sun Zi assisted Zhang Liao in commanding a county affairs.
With the assistance of these three people, the county government affairs were clear and there were few traitors who committed crimes. Some local landlords occupied the countryside and were also disrespectful to Zhang Liao's decrees before, but under the rule of the three people, there were no perfunctory people.
This is all because of the benefits of the three people's super high reputation. In addition, they act according to the law and treat people with a fair attitude, which has led some arrogant people to put away their thoughts they shouldn't have and never dare to underestimate Zhang Liao, the Lord of Xihe.
"I remember that after Cui Yi succeeded as the county magistrate of Lin County, I issued an order to clear away abandoned water conservancy and irrigate fertile fields. However, when recruiting labor-serving men, only a hundred people were introduced to comply with my orders. Most of these hundred people were prisoners and son-in-law who committed crimes. The local countryside was very resistant to my government orders in Huize Lin County."
Zhang Liao looked at Wang Qian and other officials and said happily: "Inspector Jin inspected Lin County. Qiangfu, the head of the local township pavilion, responded to the government orders conveyed by Jin's office. There were more than 2,000 civilians who took the initiative to clear the canal. Moreover, the head of the pavilion and the village chief took the initiative to lead the males in the township pavilion to participate, and there was no perfunctory move."
"Since ancient times, the imperial power has not been sent to the countryside, and the power in the hands of the county magistrate has become even more indifferent. County magistrate Zhang is dominant in the Xihe River. However, if you really want the countryside to obey orders, you must have a county magistrate with equal kindness and authority on it. Otherwise, the clan forces between the villages will slightly block it, which will be a great obstacle to the issuance of government orders."
Wang Qian analyzed incisively: "Jin Yinyou is a famous scholar and is quite famous in Taiyuan County. Now, Jin Xuyou inspects counties and townships. Even if those clan forces do not give Zhang County a shameful face, they will not dare to disobey the orders for Jin Xuyou's sake."
Zhang Liao was very thoughtful and naturally understood the truth. He would not take out a slight amount of money and grain to support the county. Everything had to be borne by the people of the countryside. Although it was a policy that benefited them, if no one cared about it, it would be useless policies, and all the decrees would not work if they stayed in the book.
Even if they take out money and grain to provide support and exempt them from their obligation to serve as civil servants, if the clan forces in the countryside intervene, all government orders cannot be implemented.
Judging from Zhang Liao's own experience, if the Mayi County Magistrate wants to do something, he must negotiate with the Mayi family Zhang. After obtaining the support of the rural family, all the decrees, whether good or bad, will be possible to be implemented.
Without the support of the gentry and local tyrants, even the best strategies to benefit the people will be difficult to implement. They do not mind following old rules and dominating the countryside, and there are countless people who do not seek change or want to maintain the original state.
"The reason why the political affairs of the Jin Junyou go is harmonious is entirely due to the determination of the Zhang County Magistrate to rectify the local area. Only then can the Jin Junyou have the opportunity to show his ambitions."
Wen Hui said sharply: "The troops under the command of the county magistrate Zhang are the greatest shock and the confidence of Superintendent Jin.
Inspector Jin sent the local documents to the county magistrate's case one by one. After the inspection of Inspector Jin was completed, the county officials who did not do anything or were too greedy could be punished based on the situation of each county.
Then pick up capable and honest people to lead a county. If County Magistrate Zhang wants to recruit the villagers to transport food and grass in the future, he can realize his own proposal. Otherwise, if the army goes to war, even the civilians who transport food and grass cannot recruit the villagers to transport food and grass, it will be a great irony."
"I have a lot of insights from Master Wen's words. I asked Master Wen to take on this burden with all my strength. According to the inspection documents of Supervisor Jin, I will select the officials who can be dismissed. Some civil servants who have been excluded and suppressed may wish to use them boldly."
Zhang Liao's vision is very lofty. If you want to achieve your grand goals, you have to implement them step by step.
A smart and capable county magistrate or county magistrate can bring the officials and people of a county back to his heart. If he has more county magistrates under his command, he, the lord of Xihe, can rest assured and be able to take on the civil and military affairs of a county.
Otherwise, if there is a bond, it will be a huge constraint for him.
Wen Hui modestly Ying Nuo said: "The officials will receive the order."
Gongcao Sun Zi suggested: "If the governor of the county wants to make the administration of a county clear and clear, he must follow the laws and regulations, and also take into account both the feelings and reason. If the laws and the two orders of the law and reason are in line with each other, then it is supplemented with fairness and fairness, so that there are laws to follow when punishing and rewarding, so that a county can be followed soon."
"Sun Gongcao's rewards and punishments are clear, his love and law are taken into account, his fair and selfless strategy is very reasonable, and he has the style of a good minister in governing the world."
Zhang Liao laughed happily and said with relief: "I'll ask Sun Gongcao to assist Wen Zhuan, and at the same time communicate with Inspector Jin to inspect and screen all officials of Xihe County. You will be responsible for your efforts."
"This is the duty of Gongcao, and I will help the county magistrate Zhang to solve the problems." Sun Zi made a polite decision and took over the burden put on him by Zhang Liao.
"If you really do this, you will definitely dismiss a large number of officials. Offending others is inevitable."
Zhang Liao put himself in his shoes and considered the issue from the perspective of Sun Zi, Wen Hui and Jin Xiang. Although the three of them were brave enough to be responsible and were not afraid of offending the officials and clan forces of Xihe County, as the lord, of course, they had to understand the efforts of their subordinates.
"Mr. Zhang doesn't have to worry, nor do you have to consider the gains and losses for us. If the cancer in the county can be removed and the common people can have a stable living environment, this is our long-cherished wish for studying."
Wen Hui's eyes were firm and full of coldness and said: "If someone dared not to obey the orders of the county magistrate, he would use the momentum of sweeping the acupoints to clear the obstacles. The county magistrate Zhang served as an official with his military position. He would definitely not be a kind woman like a woman. The sword in his hand must be extremely sharp."
Zhang Liao looked calm, mixed with murderous intent and said with a smile: "What Wen Zhuan said is reasonable. If it comes time to take action, I will definitely not disappoint you."
Wen Hui nodded and praised: "Only one can kill decisively, one can be a real man."
"In addition to rectifying the officials in the county, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans entrenched in Baibo Valley, Xihe County must be eliminated. On the one hand, this cancer in the county can be eliminated, and on the other hand, the officials and civilians in the county will no longer suffer from the robbery of the Baibo army."
Sun Zi had already made this plan and said directly: "In Baibo Valley, there are tens of thousands of common people with family members. As long as the leader of the Baibo army is destroyed, the rest can be declared."
"What Sun Gongcao said is exactly what I want. However, Baibo Valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the iron cavalry is useless. The infantry is still in training, so it is delayed."
