Chapter 28 Seizing Power
Du Zhongxiao looked at the official document in his hand and was stunned for a long time before he summoned Jin Shuzhao: "I didn't expect that Tan Erniang was so fierce that she actually went to the prefecture city alone. Outside the yamen, she took a life to save Tan Erlang. Who would have thought that when she saw her—"
Tan Erniang Du Zhongxiao had seen him several times, and he felt cowardly and a little confused, and he was confused in his words and actions. Unexpectedly, he would make such a decision in the end, which made people feel that he was not alone. Perhaps he heard that his son would be asked to be killed and did such a thing with his heart. People like Tan Erniang were the most unpredictable and looked confused, but once they decided on something in their hearts, they could do everything they could.
After handing over the official documents to Jin Shuzhao, Du Zhongxiao thought for a long time before saying, "Have you completed the registration of Ma Mengzhuang these days?"
Jin Shu summoned: "According to the official's orders, five households have one insurance policy, five guarantees have one major guarantee, five major guarantees have one capital guarantee, and Ma Mengzhuang has barely compiled one capital guarantee. These days have been compiled, and only the officials can teach and read it."
Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Okay, let the major insurance Baozheng and Baozheng come to the inspection camp, I have something to say."
Jin Shuzhao crossed his hands and responded to the promise, turned around and left the official hall.
The Baojia method was not invented by Wang Anshi during the reform, and it had already taken shape. However, at that time, it was implemented nationwide and gave more military functions. Du Zhongxiao wanted to strip Ma Meng of Zhuangzi, and the first choice was to implement the Baojia method there, and the official organized the people and households in the village. He did not need the insurance company to have any military functions, as long as he organized production and served, and replaced the duties of the former official.
Du Zhongxiao's management of the village was actually based on the organizational form of the production mutual aid group, production team, and production brigade in his previous life, and focused more on production mutual aid. As for local military and public security functions, it was still the previous model of Ding Zhuang's inspection village.
The reason for this is very simple. Focusing on military functions will increase the burden on the village households and cause a rebound. Letting them produce mutual assistance, and the official organization and giving certain subsidies will mobilize their production enthusiasm to a certain extent.
Standing up, Du Zhongxiao walked out of the official hall, went to the yard, and stood there quietly. He never expected that Tan Erniang would do such a thing. She looked so timid and occasionally looked a little confused, so she should accept it. He didn't expect that Ma Meng was released and his son Tao Shiqi was about to behead him, so that Tan Erniang would do such a fierce thing. It is said that he should not think that honest people are easy to bully, and honest people are very angry. It seems that this is true today. With such a mother, it is not accidental that Tao Shiqi killed people in the street.
Tao Shiqi was bound to die, but Tan Erniang added many variables when this happened. Han Yi cherished his feathers and was about to retire. In his tenure, he would not punish Tao Shiqi, and this matter would be delayed first.
The state-level system of the Song Dynasty had complete judicial power, and even the death penalty was judged by the state-level level, and it was only approved by the court. In the words of Du Zhongxiao's previous life, the state-level envoy was the Supreme Court and had the power of final trial. Now the biggest variable in this case is that when it comes to Du Zhongxiao. As long as it is found out that Ma Meng colluded with Lu Yuhou and killed Tao Shiqi's father, it is possible to re-sentence it.
After sighing slightly, Du Zhongxiao felt a little tired. As an official, he only wanted to do something politically, so why did he involve so much energy in the criminal prison? He was sentenced to more than 20 scepter until the death penalty was decided by the state, and most of the energy of the provincial officials was on the criminal prison lawsuit. He finally arrived in Yongcheng and left those complicated affairs, but he didn't expect that he could not escape the case because of Tao Shiqi's case.
More than an hour later, Jin Shuzhao brought Da Baozheng and Du Baozheng from Ma Mengzhuang to come and sang a promise to Du Zhongxiao on the steps.
Du Zhongxiao said, "I have something to do to call you today. Tan Erniang, who was originally in the local area, was resentful that Ma Meng was released from prison because he was angry that his son Tao Shiqi was going to kill someone in the street and beheaded him and hang himself in front of the state yamen. According to Tan Erniang's complaints, he confessed to Tao Shiqi. The cause of this was a few years ago. His family went here to sell medicinal materials. Yaman Ma Meng falsely accused the medicinal materials of falsehood and forced to claim compensation. After the Tao family raised money, he instigated his relative Lu Yuhou to kill the family and fled with money. Tao Shiqi had hated him for many years, and finally assassinated the street when Lu Yuhou entered the city. Because there was no evidence of evidence in this case, the state did not go to interrogate Ma Meng. Now, except for Ma Meng, the rest of the people involved in the case have passed away and there is no evidence of death."
Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao sighed: "Human life is at stake. Now, the lawsuit is left, Tao Shiqi, the Tao family, and the case cannot be closed hastily. You are all from Ma Meng Village. He is a man of everyday life. Everyone knows how he is. The world is fair and free, and there is a wide net of words without any leakage. If Ma Meng really commits a crime, the horse's feet will be exposed. After you go back, pay attention to the movements and rewards at any time."
The six people below the stairs looked at me, and I looked at you, but I haven't spoken for a long time. Although Ma Meng was apart from the official servant of the Lizheng, he is still the largest household in the village, and many things cannot be separated from his family. Not to mention that many families in the village owed money from the Ma family and had a close relationship with his family. Many families even relied on Ma Meng for dinner. Du Zhongxiao blatantly asked everyone to monitor Ma Meng, how to do this.
Seeing that, Du Zhongxiao said again: "Ma Meng has been a stinger for bulk goods such as medicinal materials in Yongcheng for many years. What he holds is the food and clothing of many families. The government sets stingers to facilitate merchants and make the transaction smooth. However, in the Tao family's case, Ma Meng relies on his power to seize people's property, and other small cases have already made local merchants complain. In the past few days, I will discuss with the county and not set up stingers. The people in your village have paid attention to it. Those who used to make a living by Ma Meng, look at the county's list at any time, and don't find a way out."
The guild manipulates local business, while the Yaren manipulates the business activities of merchants from other places, which has a great influence in the wharf town. Ma Meng uses the Yaren as an identity to control most of the commerce of the two wharfs on both sides of the Bian River, and is very powerful. Even if Zhuangzi's power is taken away by Du Zhongxiao, many people still have great authority because many families rely on him to make a living. If even his Yaren's identity is deprived, it will be a firefighting from the cauldron.
Seeing that Du Zhongxiao had made up his mind, Du Bao crossed his hands on Zhengji Road: "Officials, Ma Da Guan Ren is still in charge of the labor work at the nearby wharf. Every day, he will not be able to load and unload the goods when he is not at the wharf. I don't know--"
Du Zhongxiao waved his hand: "This is easy to do. Now you are the official, so you can get the job at the dock here first. Go there once a day, and just set the wages. I will give someone else to the dock opposite."
Ji Lu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly crossed his hands: "Official, how can this be done?"
"What can I do? It's just to see how many people are there every day and how to settle their wages. You are respected and the locals are all in charge, so who dares not listen! Those who are the people who are unloading goods at the wharf. After they hear it, will the boats in the river not follow?"
Seeing that Du Zhongxiao was a little impatient, Jilu had to obey his orders. In the past, when Ma Meng was in great power, Jilu dared not do anything. Now with the support of the government, it doesn’t matter. Every day, how many people are there to unload goods and how much wages are collected at the dock, it’s a fat man.
After Ji Road managed the wharf, Du Zhongxiao simply distributed all the markets at the wharf to these several Baozheng. For example, those who sell chickens, fish, meat and vegetables, except for shops, they all have their own rules, and stalls and vendors have to listen to the bad guys. In other words, this is the official certified market tyrant, and there is no need to say the benefits of it. In fact, without the government platoon, there will be vibrant non-government organizations to manage it, which is better than the government arrangements.
