Chapter 895: Ruthless Lu Huiqing
In the Song Dynasty, taking county government offices as an example, there was usually a magistrate or county magistrate, a chief clerk in charge of documents, and two county magistrates who assisted the magistrate, and then six ministers were appointed to be responsible for the affairs of a county.
This kind of official configuration was similar from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and at most it was just a name changed.
With such a thin configuration, how can you take on the affairs of a county? There is no way to "outsource" the people and adopt an indirect management model. To put it bluntly, it means handing over the people to the landlords and gentry, and then the government deals with the gentry directly and controls the people through the gentry.
Why is Han Gang sure that Wang Ning'an is in trouble!
Because he knew very well that the Han family could control all the tenants and merchants, which were as many as hundreds of thousands... even exceeded the population controlled by local governments!
If you release so many people, it’s like a flood. If you don’t manage well, there will be no trouble!
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Just as the Han family was about to move away and the people were in chaos... there was serious chaos.
Some people were plundering and stealing in groups, and they did whatever they wanted. The ox that the people had just received was taken away and slaughtered and eaten meat. The house that they had just given was burned by a fire.
It's messy and chaotic.
Many people have a misunderstanding that cattle were not allowed to be killed in ancient times, and there was no beef on the market. The so-called hero set meal is nonsense!
In fact, the situation is not that simple. The laws are indeed there, but it is questionable how much they can be implemented... For example, at present, the Han family is leaving, and no one has decided on so many things. Even if there are many people who do something wrong, no one will restrain them. Even the yamen has stopped and completely lost order.
This is also the best way for aristocratic families to fight against the imperial court.
Without us, the place will be in chaos. If the court wants order, it must compromise with the gentry and ask them to come forward for help... In the past, all dynasties, especially the Song Dynasty, have chosen to bow their heads.
But this time I met someone who ate raw rice!
Wang Ning'an doesn't care at all!
Not to mention your small Han family and the servants in Yizhou who did not cooperate, I was dismissed, and the officials in the capital caused trouble, and even Sanyuan and Di were dismissed from office.
A little mess in a mere place can still be difficult for me!
Wang Ning'an took over the Yongqiu County Government directly!
"The magistrate and other clerks and servants, you can all put the beds and go home."
The magistrate was named Fang. He smiled with courage and said, "Prince, although you are the prime minister, you have to remove the imperial officials from the Ministry of Personnel. You must have the will of the emperor. Just do this, it is not in accordance with the rules!"
Wang Ning'an was too lazy to look at him, but smiled slightly at Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing.
"You both saw it! Most of the time, we cannot pay attention to rules and follow the laws of the court... For example, if we want to dismiss the magistrate, we have to pass the Ministry of Personnel, the saints and official documents, it will take a month. In a month, the chaos in the local area will be counted on us, but we have not made any changes... If one person spends a month, ten counties will be a year, let me ask... If we delay this, how can we implement the reform?"
Wang Ning'an smiled, "So, if you want to promote reform, there will be unreasonable cases, there will be unreasonable areas, and there will be grievances... However, I have no time to argue with you about these principles... County Magistrate Fang."
Wang Ning'an turned his face, the magistrate's legs were trembling, sweating profusely, and he knelt on the ground!
"Your Majesty, you're wrong. You shouldn't contradict the prince. You have a lot of princes. Please spare your humble position! You have been a humble position for many years. I dare not say that my political achievements are outstanding, but I am also diligent and hardworking, and I dare not slackew. Please give me another chance!"
Wang Ning'an smiled faintly, "Minister Fang, I said, "I don't have time. Maybe what you said is right, maybe it's unfair to you, but there is no way... The person who came, sent County Magister Fang, along with his family, and the Han family to Xixia and handed it over to Mr. Wen."
"County Fang, if you are really a clerk, you can show your strength in Xixia, and one day you will be able to climb to a high position!"
County Magistrate Fang's face was gray and there was no blood at all. He staggered out, almost like losing his soul...
To be honest, the magistrate Fang may be really unfair, but there is no way to keep him, keep officials, and all kinds of relationships and complexities. No order from the court can be pushed forward.
Not to mention anything else, almost all the people in the market know each other and the county government are all filled with money. They have long become one person. Letting them catch people and deal with the chaos is equivalent to asking them to hire a fox to look at the chicken. It would be strange if they can watch it!
With many years of experience, Wang Ning'an removed all the official positions in the yamen, and even a few of them were the common people. Then he promoted a few who were not usually valued and could not make any money.
New magistrates and county magistrates were selected, and a group of personnel were recruited from the ground, and the number of original yamen runners was tripled.
That Han Tong passed the assessment and served as deputy general of the law commander.
The so-called legal cadres are responsible for arresting people and local public security.
Han Tong was originally a man from another place... He had no relatives, so he was trapped in the Han family. Because of his good skills, he was appointed as the instructor of the Han family.
This person is usually a dull person. He has not met many people, his relationship is very simple, and he only knows to do things loyally... Because of this, Han Gang feels that he will definitely protect himself to go to Xixia and will definitely not have a second thought.
But Han Tong is also a human being, almost thirty years old, and he doesn't even have a wife. When others heard that he was the coach of the Han family, he kept his distance from him like a fierce spirit, which made him very depressed.
If you follow the Han family again, you will be ruined in your life.
The court recruited servants. Although the position was not high, he was at least able to eat the imperial grain. He was a person from the court. He was decent and could take advantage of it! If you want to marry a wife, you didn’t have to line up to deliver it to your door!
Han Tong didn't say it, but he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.
He has been in the Han family for many years, and he also knows the people who are causing trouble on the street.
After taking over the official position, he immediately started to take action. In less than ten days, more than 500 people were arrested. Among them, those who were confirmed to be guilty were dealt with immediately. The others were all exiled to Xixia without any hesitation!
...
Well, in Wang Ning'an's eyes, Xixia has become a garbage dump, and everyone who doesn't want it is thrown there!
Even Wang Ning'an knew that there were unjust, false and wrong cases, and some people should not be expelled, but there was no way... His time was limited. If he was dragged down, he fell into endless debates on right and wrong, and used all his precious time to sue.
How many lawsuits can he fight?
After all the time, my energy was involved. There were so many ordinary people and so many prefectures and counties, how could I not deal with it?
Helplessly, he had to use the autumn wind to sweep the fallen leaves to quickly solve the problem... But one thing is lucky, that is, he took Xixia, had a trash can, and had a place to deal with people, and there would be no killing and the heads were rolling.
As long as no one dies, he will feel at ease.
"Master, I think these people will still be unable to get along with you in the future, especially those like the Han family, the county magistrate of Fang, and other officials who exiled them to Xixia. If these people make a comeback and make a comeback, they may be in a dilemma with your master."
Lu Huiqing said bluntly: "Using the disciple's observation of Wen Kuanfu, the old guy will definitely pull these people out and prepare to cause trouble for the master."
Wang Ning'an smiled indifferently, "Ji Fu can see correctly, but is there any other way? You can't raise the butcher's knife and kill a river of blood! It's so difficult to move the world's powerful people. If you slaughter all the powerful people, wouldn't it become Huang Chao!"
Lu Huiqing scratched his head, and he knew that he could not go too far, but he still wanted to give people a way out, but it was really unwise to let a large group of the smartest brains in the world gather together.
Therefore, he suggested: "Master, my disciples think that if they stuff all these people into Xixia, they will definitely cause trouble... But if they disperse people, arrange them everywhere, and restrain each other, it may be much better."
Wang Ning'an thought for a while and smiled, "It's really a solution. Where do you think can be arranged?"
"This is obvious. Xixia can set up a governor, one from the Western Regions, one from the Bohai Sea. As for Goryeo and Japan, there are Jiaozhi, it depends on the Master's mood!"
"Hahaha, tell me the truth, did this idea come up with Zihou?" Wang Ning'an asked with a smile.
Lu Huiqing also smiled, "Master, it's Zihou's idea. He is a man, and he doesn't know what's going on. He just hates Japan so much. If there is any bad thing, he will pull Japan up...Master, do you think he has such a big grudge with Japan?"
Wang Ning'an chuckled twice, "It's not hatred, it's fate! Forget it, let's not talk about his affairs. Look, who should be arranged in these places? In addition, how should we move to the powerful?"
"The Western Regions are still left to Zhao Zongjing, Prince Zhao. He has experienced over the years and is already very capable. It just so happens that the Western Regions lack Han people, especially Han people who lack reading and literacy. The two northwest routes, including the fourth routes of Sichuan and Shaanxi, are going to move to the Western Regions... In addition to moving to Xixia, they can also move to Bohai and Goryeo... The remaining southeast, to Japan, and Jiaozhi... In addition to the Western Regions, the governors of the other places, I think I will leave them to those old guys, or people from the royal family. Being a local emperor is still very attractive, and they will not refuse."
Lu Huiqing smiled very sinisterly and treacherously. Obviously, he wanted to completely eliminate the roots, not only to deal with the powerful, but also to drive out the veteran officials. In this way, no one could threaten him.
Of course, excluding insidious plots, Xixia alone cannot pretend to be a powerful man in the world.
"As you mean, I will contact those old ministers immediately. It is just that the matter of moving to these places must be kept confidential, especially in the southeast. Don't reveal any rumors for the time being!"
Lu Huiqing nodded vigorously, "Master, Southeast is the top priority this time. The disciple is willing to charge for the master... The disciple has written a letter to his family, and they agree to go to Jiaozhi."
