Is there anything in the world that is difficult or easy? For the difficult is also easy; not for, then the easy is also difficult.
Although the situation in Jingnan is a mess, but Zhu Pingan believes that the beginning of everything is difficult, as long as you go to do, a mess can also clear up the head.
After listening to the report, Zhu Pingan pondered for a moment and clarified his thoughts: the backlog of cases, then overtime to hear the verdict; Taizhou government assigned to the pile of official business, then one by one to deal with the categories; taxes and money are not collected, then down to the grassroots level to check the situation, and call for the payment of taxes; there are waterlogged disasters, then timely disaster relief, water conservancy, to solve the drought and flooding disaster potential; Miao barbarians village disputes, then the good work to maintain stability; mountain banditsIf there are disputes between the Miao and barbarian villages, then we should do a good job in maintaining stability; if there are frequent occurrence of mountain bandits and sea bandits, then we should collect soldiers, horses, train soldiers, reinforce the city defence, and deploy the matters of combating bandits; if there is a hidden danger of Japanese pirates recidivism, then we should focus on the early warning and defence in view of the current situation in Jingnan.
Although the county government office was small, the organisations were all as complete as the country, and each job could find a specific department responsible for it.
As the county magistrate himself, he is responsible for all the work in Jingnan, and is in charge of the trial of cases; Zhang county magistrate is in charge of taxes and grain; Yao chief bookkeeper is in charge of the official affairs assigned by the Taizhou government; Li dianshi is in charge of law and order, arrests, and recruitment and training of soldiers; in view of the current situation in Jingnan, the magistrates and the existing civil servants will act as soldiers, strengthen the training and consolidate the defence of the city, and carry out the fight against bandits as appropriate; the six rooms of the magistracy are based on the duties and responsibilities of the county magistrates, and will implement them specifically, and at the same time, the courtesy room sends people to the Miao villages and villages to study the situation of disputes.At the same time, the ceremony room sent people to the dispute of the Miao village, village research situation, timely report, based on the facts, based on the overall situation, do a good job of maintaining stability.
After clearing his thoughts, Zhu Pingan laid out the work, looked around at the crowd, and said softly: ”For the time being, this is the arrangement, do you have any insights? Please don’t be stingy with your advice. Ping An’s seniority is shallow and inexperienced, there are bound to be some improper arrangements and deployments, please do not worry about your colleagues and tell us frankly.”
“No, although the County Eunuch is young, but his thinking is clear, his handling is old, and his arrangements and deployment are impeccable.”
County Minister Zhang and the others all shook their heads, raising their hands in favour of Zhu Pingan’s arrangement and deployment, safe from any dissenting opinions.
“Since this is the case, then I would like to thank all of you to take up your respective responsibilities according to the division of labour, and from today, from now on, work overtime to deal with Jingnan’s backlog of official business as soon as possible. If problems are found during the process, we will then work together to resolve them.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Pingan once again scanned the crowd and struck the iron while it was hot, directly finalising the matter.
“Don’t worry, County Honour, we will do our best to assist County Honour and do a good job.”
County Minister Zhang and the others were very cooperative, reacting enthusiastically and with high emotions and vigour.
The crowd was so cooperative, which made Zhu Pingan a little surprised, could it be that I was overthinking before?
Not bad, this saved himself a lot of work.
Next, Zhu Pingan in the hall will be Liu Mu, Liu Dazhou and other six people arranged into the county magistrate three class yamen, as the ancient power to hold the county magistrate, this power is still there. In this way, Jingnan County Yamen has a total of twenty-two soap class yamen, thirty-two fast class constables, and fifty-two strong class people.
Soap class yamen, equivalent to the modern judiciary bailiffs, is responsible for following the magistrate left and right guards to open the road, stand on both sides of the hall during the trial, to maintain discipline, escort the criminals, the execution of interrogation and flogging and caning sentence. Liu Dazhou and Liu Dahammer were assigned to the Soap Class.
The Quick Squad Constable, or Constable for short, is the modern equivalent of the Public Security Bureau or police station, and is responsible for summoning defendants and witnesses, detecting criminals, and searching for evidence. Liu Mu and Liu Dajun were assigned to the fast class of constables.
The strong class yamen, equivalent to modern armed police, were mainly responsible for guarding city gates, yamen, warehouses, prisons, and other key parts of the city, and patrolling urban and rural roads. Liu Da Gang and Liu Da Axe were incorporated into the Zhuang Ban Min Zhuang.
After the work was deployed, the crowd dispersed. When they dispersed, Zhu Pingan called on the criminal room official who went out and instructed him to collect and organise all the backlogged case files and hand them over to the room in the second hall where he had his daily office.
In the courtyard outside the second hall, Liu Mu, Liu Dazhou and the others changed into brand new yamen’s clothes, equipped with waist swords, hung the waist tags engraved with their names, became the official yamen in the Yamen, and beautifully appreciated themselves.
“Brother Mu, we have also become constables?”Liu Dazhou pressed the standard belt knife on his waist and said excitedly to Liu Mu.
“Yes, wearing this leather, I feel like I’m carrying the wind when I walk.”Liu Dahammer was also excited.
“In the past, our county constable, how powerful ah, that is our county counts the big man, walking can walk sideways. Once, the county constable chasing prisoners passed by our village, that guy, that pos ……Unexpectedly, our brothers and sisters also transformed into the official constable of the county office.”
Liu Dazhun couldn’t help but think of the past, touching the yamen’s uniform on his body, seemingly not believing that he had also become a constable.
“It’s all thanks to the Duke’s blessing, we have to do our job well, don’t disgrace the Duke.”Liu Mu reminded the crowd.
“That’s natural.”Liu Da Dao and the others were unambiguous.
Inside the office room of the second hall, Zhu Pingan waited for a long time and did not see the criminal room official sending the piled up case files over, he could not help but frown, the criminal room was only ten metres away from his office room, how could he send a file so slowly?
Zhu Pingan got up and walked out of the room, striding towards the household room.
Seeing Zhu Pingan going out, Liu Mu and the others came forward, ready to accompany and protect him, when they came, Li Shu emphasised to them that they should protect Zhu Pingan without moving an inch. Only when they learnt that Zhu Pingan was going to the torture room did they give up their intention of close protection.
Entering the criminal room, Zhu Pingan realised why the Household Chamber’s canonical historian had delayed in sending the case file to himself, because although the people in the criminal room, including the canonical historian, were all in the room, they were all grinding away, looking busy, but in fact, they were all out of work and not productive at all. Until now, they hadn’t sorted out a single dossier! Yes, a room full of people hadn’t even sorted out a single dossier!
“Ahem, Your Excellency, why are you here, it’s grey here, just wait in your room. I’ll send you the dossier as soon as I’ve sorted it out. It’s just that these backlogged cases have been going on for too long, there are many and varied places to put this dossier, and the dossier is in tatters, so it will take time to sort it out.”When Zhang Dainian, the criminal room official, saw Zhu Pingan at the door, he hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, coughed, and piled up a face of enthusiasm to welcome him, explaining one set of things after another.
The criminal room saving points, clerks and others also followed suit, saying how big the workload was, how difficult the work was and so on.
“All of you have worked hard, if there are difficulties, overcome them, work overtime, and strive to sort out the dossier today.”
Zhu Pingan narrowed his eyes and pulled the corners of his mouth, encouraging the crowd.
Out of the criminal room, Zhu Pingan face gloomy down, and then went to the household, rituals, soldiers, mandarins, workers five rooms also turned round, no surprise, the five rooms of the work state with the household room is the same, all are in which to grind, one by one, the reason is still very full, the difficulties put out one after another, pushing three and blocking the four.
Li Dianshi, not to mention, has not yet come to the Yamen to answer the call.
Zhang county magistrate, Yao bookkeeper are also the same, although people in the office, look also in the office, but out of work not to contribute.
These subordinates of their own with a cordial attitude and full of enthusiasm for work, behind their backs have long been united together!
This is not a dismount, this is trying to make oneself dismount ah!
