The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 56

Three-quarters of the construction of Heishui City has been completed, leaving only the official offices and mansions.After the lessons learned from the Shahu Village that the sand bandits raided last time, everyone demanded to build a city wall immediately, but Lin Yifan vetoed it, and he decided to build a city without walls in Heishui City.Because the city he planned was similar to the modern town he lived in, a city wall completely restricted the scale of the town and the space for continuous development.Therefore, he drew two lines on the mountain roads on both sides of Heishui City, and if he wanted to build a wall, he would build it at the mouth of the valley.As long as the mountain roads on both sides are blocked, it will be enough to resist external enemies.

Lin Yifan and Han Song strolled in the newly built Heishui City, watching the bustling crowd and listening to the hustle and bustle, all of which showed the vitality of the city.The corners of Lin Yifan's mouth raised slightly, a sense of pride welled up spontaneously.Han Song was surprised that the prosperity of this Heishui City was not worse than that of the county seat. The most amazing thing is that the east, west, north, south and north roads of Heishui City are straight and wide, and the houses and pavilions are arranged in an orderly manner.Green trees and flowers are carefully planted on both sides of this road, and strange wooden barrels are placed within a distance of [-] meters. From time to time, people can be seen dumping garbage into the barrels.There is no dust raised or discarded garbage on the whole street. At any time, a person in an orange bunt costume can be seen sweeping the street with a broom.And at a crossroads, a policeman gave orders in the middle of the road, who would go first and who would stop, all within the wave of his hand.Pedestrians are distributed on both sides of the road in an orderly manner, walking in order without confusion.

Walking to a park area, Lin Yifan invited Han Song to sit on a bench and rest for a while, ready to answer his doubts at any time.

Sure enough, when the two sat down, Han Song couldn't wait to ask what happened to the scenes he saw just now?

Lin Yifan smiled and replied: "Master Han, don't worry, let me take it slowly. After our detailed planning, Heishui City is mainly divided into four major areas, namely the residential area, the commercial area, the workshop area and the administrative area. We Now we are walking in the residential area. These houses were built a few months ago. In order to speed up the construction, we built houses with the same structure. In order to beautify the environment, we planted flowers and trees between the houses and the streets. In order to For sanitation and cleaning, we set up a garbage bin every 100 meters, and garbage trucks pass by every household every day, so that everyone can clean up the waste in their homes. In order to maintain the cleanliness of the street, we set up a team of street cleaners, every day Responsible for cleaning the streets. In order to maintain the order of the streets, we set up a traffic patrol to be responsible for street patrols and maintain traffic order. At the same time, we also formulated a series of rural regulations, folk customs and laws and regulations to supervise the behavior of the people and maintain public security. The environment. The place where we are sitting now is a small park, which is convenient for the common people to entertain their bodies and minds in their spare time."

Han Song was stunned for a long time, then cupped his hands in admiration and said, "Your Excellency is such a fantastic idea. What you do is a good way of governing politics, benefiting the people and benevolent methods. I admire you so much."

"My lord Han is overwhelmed. These are not due to me alone, but the result of the collective efforts of our colleagues in the county government." Lin Yifan said modestly.

"My lord and all my colleagues are really ashamed of how many court officials. If the ministers of the court are as willing to do practical things for the people as you are, the whole world will not be messed up. Sigh, think about it now, next time The official is also very ashamed, what is the difference between me and others." Han Song blushed slightly, mocking himself.

"Your Majesty Han, you don't have to blame yourself. As a person in his position, he should seek his own government. As the head of HS County, the official of the parents of the people, he naturally has to do it himself to benefit the people. The ministers of the court are governing the world for the emperor. They have different powers and positions. What you do is different." After Lin Yifan finished speaking, he stood up, looked at Han Song and asked, "How is Mr. Han resting? If possible, the next step is to visit the business district."

Hearing this, Han Song quickly stood up and followed Lin Yifan to the business district.

When they came to the business district, Lin Yifan began to explain the situation here to Han Song, and the two walked and chatted until they entered a tavern, where Lin Yifan treated guests, and they chatted about what they had seen and heard while drinking and eating food in the tavern.

"Master Han, what do you think about the situation here?" Lin Yifan asked after eating his food.

Han Song was also more relaxed at this time, put down the wine glass, smacked his mouth in satisfaction, and said thoughtfully: "My lord, I heard that this business district adopts a tax of [-] levies, which is higher than the one set by the imperial court. Ten draws and one less. Although the tax has been reduced, it has also stimulated the profit-seeking heart of businessmen, opened more shops and richer products. Therefore, the tax we can collect has also increased. In fact, we have not only no I lost money, but I received more taxes. I also read the market trading regulations you formulated. The content is detailed and reasonable, which can prevent businessmen from violating laws and disciplines and ensure fair market transactions. It is public and protects the interests of merchants and common people. The officials feel that as long as this system is implemented, the prosperity of Heishui City will continue.”

"Us?" Lin Yifan heard the change in Han Song's words, and couldn't help being overjoyed. He took him all over Hengshan with painstaking efforts, wasn't it just to make him feel a sense of belonging to Hengshan and to be willing to do things for Hengshan.It's all right now, judging by his attitude, he has obviously been infected by what he has done.This is a good sign, take your time.So he said with a smile: "Master Han is too famous. There is no law that does not change in the world. As time changes and the world changes, people's hearts are not old, and the world's conditions are completely different.Only by advancing with the times can we obey the destiny and welcome the new and abandon the old.I don't know if Mr. Han thinks so? "

"That's a great word!" Han Song stood up and bowed slightly to Lin Yifan, "Listening to what you say is better than reading for ten years."

In the afternoon, the two walked around the workshop area again, because the construction had just been completed and hadn't officially started yet.I had no choice but to read it briefly, and then went to the temporary government office in Heishuizhai.Here, Lin Yifan summoned all the officials of the government office to the meeting hall, and formally introduced Han Song to everyone.Then a meeting of the Heishui City was held to listen to the affairs reports of the officials.Han Song sat next to Lin Yifan, observing this strange meeting with a curious face.

The chief officials of various departments reported their own affairs one by one. When reporting, they not only introduced the progress of their work in detail and the problems they encountered, but also reviewed their own deficiencies, and finally proposed their own solutions.

After the county magistrate listened carefully to the report, he would first ask some questions.Then bring up the problem and let everyone discuss how to solve this problem.Finally, the methods agreed by everyone will be summarized and handed over to the relevant departments for processing.In this process, the county magistrate almost didn't have to personally think of ways to solve the problem. Instead, he used everyone's ideas to solve the problem smoothly.It not only allows everyone to show their talents, but also handles problems easily and effectively.Unless it is a problem that no one can solve, he needs to come up with some ideas to deal with the problem.

After the meeting, wait for the crowd to disperse.Lin Yifan stretched his waist, turned to look at Han Song, and said with a smile, "How about it, do you think this meeting is a bit strange?"

"It was really strange at first, but after careful observation, I found that this is actually the rule by the arch advocated by Neo-Confucianism?" Han Song replied while thinking, "My lord doesn't have to do everything by himself, as long as the affairs of the county are distributed to others. Officials at all levels are in charge, and everyone performs their own duties, so the government can be well-organized. The adults only need to be responsible for supervising the work of officials at all levels, and make decisions that are in line with the interests of the people, and then people will be in harmony.

"Master Han said it well." Lin Yifan applauded and said with emotion, "Master Han is a great talent, Hengshan is a new creation, and a thousand wastes are waiting to be reborn. There is a shortage of talents, and officials are mixed. Although I have the heart to revitalize Hengshan, I have no left or right arm to rely on Mr. Han has many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, and has rich experience. He is really a rare talent in Hengshan. I intend to hand over the affairs of the county government to Mr. Han, but I don’t know if Mr. Han is willing to give in? "

"Oh, my lord, this is a disgrace to the lower officials. Although the lower officials have been officials for many years, they are not as many as the adults. A few days ago, because the lower officials were tragically demoted, they became decadent. Fortunately, the adults were able to come to their senses with a blow to the head. Being an official is not about high or low, but serving the country and the people. If the adults believe in subordinate officials, they will be happy even if they do some chores." Han Song said seriously.

"What I'm waiting for is Mr. Han's words, haha!" Lin Yifan smiled happily, "Since Mr. Han is willing to do things for the people of Hengshan, then I will formally accept you as the county magistrate of HS, responsible for presiding over the daily affairs of the county government. At the same time, Because I have a shortage of talents in Hengshan, and you also hold the post of official and house official, what do you think, Mr. Han?"

"This is the high regard that the adults place on the subordinates, how can the subordinates refuse." Han Song said gratefully, "The subordinates should be diligent and conscientious, and will definitely live up to the high expectations of the adults."
