Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 563 Chen Zilong's Promotion, Liu Rushi's Autobiography

In addition to the three-level system adopted in rural areas, the four-level system of county, district, street and lane will also be adopted in cities.

The reason why they did not completely copy the administrative division of cities in later generations was naturally because of Ming Dynasty's own national conditions.

In terms of the feudal society, the degree of urbanization in the Ming Dynasty was actually quite high, especially in the south of the Yangtze River, where there were more than two or three cases where two counties or even three counties were attached to the capital.

Such as Suzhou, Xi'an, Nanjing, Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou and so on.

Therefore, Aimee Zhu did not use districts to replace counties, but used districts as the next level of administrative units to refine the administrative management of the city.

In this new city administrative system, the head of a district administration is called District Zheng.The prefectural city area is Congba, the Fucheng District is Congba, the provincial city is Congqi, and the capital city is Congqi.

The county magistrate of the capital is the sixth rank, which is exactly one rank and two ranks higher than the district.

District Zheng is accompanied by District Deputy and other secondary officials, and the rank of District Deputy is one level lower than that of the corresponding District Zheng.

Offices are set up in the streets, and the main person in charge is called the director, who is accompanied by a deputy director and other officials.

The director of the sub-district office is one rank lower than the corresponding district.The director of Guzhoucheng Sub-district is Cong Jiupin, and so on, the director of Jingcheng Sub-district is Zhengba-rank.

The person in charge of an alley is elected by the people like a village head, and is called the alley leader.

Only the heads of the three lanes in Beijing, Beijing, and Chengdu are officials, and the lane leaders in the rest of the places are not included in the establishment of officials.

The reason why these three cities are special is naturally because of their different status and large population.

Not to mention the northern and southern capitals, Chengdu is Zhu Yu's "Land of Prosperity". According to the usual practice, it will serve as the accompanying capital of the Ming Dynasty in the future.For such cities, it is necessary to carry out more detailed management.

Because this system is quite mature, after it is established, it will be implemented in Yingtian Mansion, Shuntian Mansion, and Chengdu Mansion.

After one year, it will be extended to the four provinces of Nanzhili, Beizhili, Sichuan, and Chongqing, and in a few years, it will be extended to the entire Ming Dynasty.

Basically, it followed the Qingtian policy.

···
After the cabinet meeting on the abolition of the Lijia system and the trial implementation of the three-level system of "township, commune, and village" in the three prefectures, Zhu Yuxi issued an order and the cabinet printed it.

Therefore, Chen Zilong can also be called the governor now.

It's just that his governor is incomparable with Du Yinxi and Lu Daqi, who are the governors of the two provinces' military affairs, but are similar to Zhang Guowei's temporary dispatch of the river affairs governor.

At the same time, the newspaper office of Da Ming Bao also received a task for promoting Liu Rushi, which was to publish an article written by Chen Zilong on the political page of the next issue of Da Ming Pao.

It is not only to explain to the public the three-level system of "township, commune, and village" at the grassroots level, but also to publicize this new policy and encourage the public to cooperate with the implementation of the new policy.

The yamen (courtyard) of the Daming Newspaper office.

Liu Rushi received Zhu Yu's decree and learned that Chen Zilong was entrusted with an important task by the court and even promoted to an official position, so he was quite emotional for a while.

Looking at the book case again, she just finalized a handwritten article "On the Necessity of Prostitution Prohibition", and she couldn't help recalling her experience more than ten years ago.

This is an article based on her personal experience, which is used to conclude the "Prostitution Prohibition Order" that has been discussed by the public for more than half a month. When it is published, it will be signed by her most familiar name "Liu Rushi".

She is very supportive of the "ban on prostitution" implemented by the imperial court.Because she was kidnapped by human traffickers since she was a child, and sold to Guijiayuan, Wujiang County, Suzhou, where she was given to Xu Fu, the number one famous prostitute in Guijiayuan, as a maidservant.

This is the beginning of what outsiders know about her experience of falling into Zhangtai, but they don't know how hard it was before she was abducted by human traffickers and before she followed Xu Fu.

At that time, she and many little girls who were several years old were often locked in dark places where people could not easily find them, and they only had one or two meals a day, barely sustaining their lives.

Even when I went to Guijiayuan (brothel), I did various training with a group of girls of the same age at first, and I was often punished, denied food, and beaten.

She was able to obtain such a good position as Xu Fu's maid by relying on her outstanding appearance when she was a child, as well as her own intelligence, and even used some small tricks.

Because, serving a famous prostitute like Xu Fu as a servant is also a disciple.

In the end, when she was twelve or thirteen years old, she became a rare commodity that could be sold by Guijiayuan, and was sold to the old Zhou Daodeng of the Chongzhen court who was an official at home at that time as a concubine.

That time, Guijiayuan made a lot of money.The proprietor behind Guijiayuan even managed an important matter through Zhou Daodeng's contacts.

After that, she was lucky and unlucky.

Zhou Daodeng, who doted on her very much, died of old age and illness a year or two later because he was over seventy.

When she was only 14 years old, she was kicked out by Zhou's family—speaking of which, it was not entirely because of her luck, but also because she had a long-term vision and made arrangements before Zhou Daodeng was alive, so she was just driven out by Zhou's family. Instead of selling it as property.

As a result, she got the long-awaited freedom.

However, growing up in a brothel, she has no other skills other than entertaining people with talent. In order to make a living, she can only become an upright official by herself.

One or two years later, she went to Songjiang Mansion, where she took the nickname "Ying Lian", and she often dressed in Confucian shirts. With her talent in poetry, she interacted with literati from Fushe, Jishe, Donglin Party and other groups, and gradually gained fame. .

During this period, she first fell in love with Song Zhengyu, a young man from Songjiang Prefecture who was the same age, and she was looking forward to marrying into the Song family, even as a concubine.

However, soon, the prefect of Songjiang ordered the expulsion of out-of-town prostitutes, and she, who was from Suzhou, became one of the targets of the expulsion.

She consulted with Song Zhengyu, hoping to use the Song family connections to get through the door and stay in Songjiang Mansion.However, Song was weak and advised her to "avoid the edge" and leave Songjiang Mansion first.

She was also young and vigorous at the time, so she broke up with Song Zhengyu.

Then came the relationship with Chen Zilong, which was known to many people and also ended up in vain.

After regaining consciousness, Liu Rushi immediately called a reporter from the newspaper office who was good at interviewing civil servants and writing feature articles, and asked him to find Chen Zilong for an exclusive interview, and asked for a piece of Chen Zilong's article.

Although she and Chen Zilong had an old relationship, since Chen Zilong entered the Zhaowu Dynasty as an official, she had never had any contact with her.

After all, twelve or three years have passed since her relationship with Chen Zilong, and things have long changed—she is married and a woman, and although Qian Qianyi has various shortcomings, he treats her very well.

"Tiju, this "Beijing News" is too much, this time it plagiarized many of our news, and dared to sing against us on the 'Prostitution Prohibition Order'!"

When Liu Rushi was in a daze thinking about the past, Gui Zhuang walked in holding a newspaper, and his expression was very angry.

This person is the great-grandson of Gui Youguang, a prose master in Suzhou during the Jiajing period and the official minister of Nanjing Taipusi.

Guijia, Kunshan, Suzhou, has produced generations of talented scholars, all of whom are famous in the south of the Yangtze River for calligraphy, painting, prose, and seal cutting. Guizhuang is even more talented in calligraphy, painting, and literature.

He is only five years older than Liu Rushi, and Liu Rushi once received his favor when he first came out of the Zhou family in the past.

Therefore, when the newspaper office was short of people, I thought that Gui Zhuangshan's prose and transliteration of vernacular prose must be smooth, so I wrote a letter to invite him to join the newspaper office.

Guizhuang does have certain talents, and Liu Rushi intends to promote him, so he is now the vice-president of the newspaper.

Liu Rushi heard Gui Zhuang say that there was an article in the "Beijing News" that contradicted the "Prostitution Prohibition Order", and felt that the matter was unusual, so he immediately took the newspaper from Gui Zhuang and looked...
Chen Zilong's official residence in the capital is now full of people, but most of them can only leave greeting cards, and very few of them are actually received by Chen Zilong.

However, when he learned that the reporter from the "Da Ming Pao" newspaper office had been ordered to come, Chen Zilong immediately interviewed him.

　First more.
