Rebirth of South America as King

Chapter 335: Finish the storm

No matter how good a policy is, it must be carried out by qualified officials. The internal composition of the Han government is complex, and most of them are unsuccessful talents, noble people, and businessmen with a little cultural knowledge who have not gone through systematic education. Although the problem of the insufficient number of officials in the Han Dynasty has been solved to a certain extent, with the delay of time and the impact of the doubling of the land area of ​​the Han country, they rushed to the office not only could not help the effective operation of the government, but also directly Or indirectly harmed national interests.

The case involving Lin Yaxiang and the Yixing company he controlled is a typical example of official corruption and collusion between officials and businessmen. Local officials in Yunzhou violated the laws and regulations of the government by secretly conveying benefits to relevant personnel and infringing the country. Public land, taxation, etc., they know that doing so does not meet the legal requirements, but because of the lack of professionalism of officials, many officials took the risk and tried to do it without anyone's awareness. Eventually, the entire Yunzhou local government was frustrated. Corruption is rampant.

In the early days of the founding of the country, the replacement of the old class by the new ruling class is the period most likely to provoke a monopoly of power. If the government officials are not reorganized at the source period, the longer the delay is, the higher the cost and consequences of reform.

There is no good way to clean up the ranks of officials and improve the administrative efficiency of government agencies. Combining with the actual situation in Han Dynasty, Li Mingyuan decided to start from four aspects.

Qi Yi sent professional intelligence personnel from the Ministry of National Security to various local states and counties to conduct investigations, collected evidence of local officials and businessmen's violations of the law, and found batches of batches.

Twenty-two newly set up a department of integrity in the Inspectorate, with a high administrative level and a deputy ministerial level. He is directly responsible to the emperor, and is responsible for handling cases of official corruption, collusion between officials and businesses, and crimes in the economic field.

Twenty-three speed up the training of professional officials, and select graduates to enter central and local government administrative agencies to work. Initially, they will perform some tasks of supporting principals, share the powers of the principals, and restrain the principals to a certain degree.

In view of the fact that there will be no major war in South America in a decade, the country will be in a long period of peace. Li Mingyuan believes that continuing to arrange officers and soldiers with a certain cultural literacy and strong execution capabilities to the government's grassroots institutions can strengthen the government's At the grassroots level, although demobilized officers and soldiers will inevitably have corrupt members, compared to those mainland literati and businessmen who joined in halfway, Li Mingyuan believes that after a period of military education and training, he is highly obedient. Retired officers are more reliable.

At the beginning of the following month, after months of groping investigations, the first round of clean-up and rectification work for various prefectures in Han Dynasty began.

As the focus of attention, Lin Yaxiang and Yixing Company were the first to be arrested and sealed up. Lin Yaxiang himself was condemned for the large amount of the country ’s wasteland and concealed major casualties in the company and plantation under his jurisdiction. He was sentenced to death and All personal property was confiscated. At the same time, more than 100 officials involved in Lin Yaxiang's case and all major officials of Yixing Company were arrested. Eighty percent of the assets of Yixing Company were confiscated and confiscated. They were illegally employed by Yixing Company. And 6,200 workers who restricted their personal liberty restored their free status and were allowed to receive a portion of their assets as financial compensation.

The first round of internal reorganization storms started in all regions of Beijing, the three prefectures, and 18 states. As of the 24th of the month, a total of 1,075 officials, large and small, were arrested and imprisoned. 2,148 businessmen and old-style literati were filed for investigation, and the land and shops involved were confiscated. The total value of the property is equivalent to about 10.7 million silver, which accounts for about one-half of Han's total fiscal revenue in a year.

Based on the 30 million silver revenues of the Manchu and Qing courts during the same period, the total annual fiscal revenue of the Han Dynasty was 20 million silvers, which only accounted for one-fifth of the income of the Manchu courts, which is equivalent to per capita fiscal revenue. Only three times more than under the Manchu dynasty, but taking into account the annual subsidies by the Han government forces in the costs of immigration transportation, local land development, industrial construction and other factors, as well as the low prices of domestic grain and cloth products On average, the standard of living of a Han nationality is four to five times higher than that of the people under the Manchu dynasty, and the per capita fiscal income is much higher than on the books.

The stormy internal rectification and the arrests of a large number of officials and businessmen have brought great shock to the local officials and businessmen. Originally because of the victory of the Argentine War and Li Mingyuan's ascension to the throne, he brought to Han The country's future development prospects are promising, and the relevant personnel who intend to use various means to seek a high official position and expand the scale of business quickly wipe out the ideas that should not be in their hearts. They are doing this job honestly, for fear of being inadvertently affected by national security. The people in the Ministry and the Inspectorate had seized the evidence, and their lives were overwhelmed, and I would end up in a dead end.

Frightened by the turmoil in the local officialdom, many businessmen beat back and decided to leave the Han country and return to the mainland or Nanyang with the funds earned in the Han country. As their own rich man, for these people, Li Mingyuan had nothing to say, instructed government officials to make a single word, check, and seriously investigate their business experience. Whenever something touches national law, they will be punished immediately. If the level of involvement is low or even the law is obeyed, then they must pay three One percent of the property is used as a tax for appearances. After all, neither Li Mingyuan nor his generals are generous people. They have enough of the benefits given by the Han Dynasty. If they want to leave, they must spit out some.

With the implementation of the departure tax policy, about two-fifths of people changed their minds, and were reluctant to lose nearly half of their property, and chose to stay. Another group of strong-willed people was removed because of the illegal source of property. There are 648 businessmen and 215 old-style talents and people who have left South America or went to Nanyang or returned directly to the mainland to live a life that they think is suitable for them.

The composition of domestic immigration in China is complex. Different types of people, such as ordinary Chinese laborers, fleeing civilians, and overseas Chinese businessmen, have come to South America for different purposes. Most of them are removed to eat a bite and take their families to find them. In a living way, there are also some speculative businessmen and rogues who have violated the law on the mainland to come to South America in order to get ahead.

In order to manage immigrants in a unified manner, the Han government thought hard and adopted a set of measures and administrative orders to transform Chinese people who came from immigrants with bad purposes. From the beginning of the transport ship to the shore, the government provided simple sanitation to the immigrants. Education and training of policies and decrees, two years of collective labor, participation in government-renovated road repairs, settlement housing construction, and the end of the two-year labor period.

It can be said that after more than ten years of exploration and improvement, the immigration education and reform policies in Han were generally successful. However, some Chinese who are stubborn in nature can hardly be completely changed by external education and training. During the labor period, after receiving unified militia training in the settlements and obtaining formal national status, some gang members and locals of Chinese origin from hooligans have reactivated, extorted new immigrants, bribed grassroots officials to run across the countryside, engaged in gambling, usury, and other activities. .

It can be said that old-style gangs and local gangsters provided a lot of space for government officials to be corrupt and government-business collusion. Lin Yaxiang had no office and no office, but he was only a businessman. Why can he attract more than 100 people in Yunzhou? Large and small officials, not only the wealth in his hands, but also the thousands of gangs and local gangsters who lived under Yixing's name, are also a force to be reckoned with.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Han government issued an executive order to ban all local gangs. Without the government's permission, ordinary citizens could not take home the muskets used for training without authorization, and even more strictly prohibited the original gang members from pulling gangs and disrupting them. Local law and order.

There are police forces and militia to terrify the place. During the year, they severely dealt with a group of local hooligans and gang members. The sentencing sentence was changed to exile in the Congo. After going through a four-year clean-up period, the local community ’s social atmosphere became neat. Due to the impact of Ding Weiqi, the number of Chinese immigrants has soared, and the energy of the central and local governments has been hindered by immigration affairs. As a result, the supervision of the local public security environment has been relaxed, and gang members who have newly moved into the country have provided space for activities. As a result, the local government's internal, economic, and social security problems were exposed in the second half of 1879.

Taking the opportunity to rectify the problems in both the officialdom and the business, I cleaned up the gang members, gangsters, and thugs involved, interrogated the arrested people, and dug into the distribution of gangs hidden in various places ~ www. wuxiaspot.com ~ catching big fish and small fish together is not only for the stability of the country, but also to Li Mingyuan for help. Local officials at all levels, inspectorates, the Ministry of National Security, from senior officials at the ministerial level to ordinary intelligence personnel and grass-roots officials, all I made great efforts to prepare for the achievements before Li Mingyuan ascended the throne, so that the social outlook in the area was renewed and met the requirements of the new empire.

A number of national roundworms were dug out, and the new official positions have stimulated the enthusiasm of officials at all levels. Due to the influence of traditional culture, there is never a shortage of people who want to be officials in the local area. Even if some of my colleagues around me are corrupt, illegal, etc. The problem was arrested, but this did not stop the ambition of other officials to promote. Han was a country with a large population and a scarce population. As government officials, there was no shortage of land and wealth to meet the needs of life. The reason why those officials were arrested can only be blamed. They are not greedy, they do n’t know the current affairs, and they do things according to laws. Although the promotion of the office is slower, there is no risk. They do n’t have to worry about falling asleep all the time. Their ambitions and abilities match. They have self-knowledge. Are they afraid that there is no good ending? ?

Officials mobilized themselves to deal with various illegal and criminal activities in the area under their jurisdiction. The militia and the security forces dispatched troops to arrest the fugitives. By mid-December, about 13,000 gang members and rogue mobs were captured. After the rough trial of the government, all of them were exiled to overseas colonies. Of these, 11,000 were assigned to the African Congolese colonies, and the rest were divided into three batches and entered the three places in Zilu, Tonga, and Samoa. The colony exchange agreement signed with the Germans in July 1878 accepted the Zilu and Samoa islands directly controlled by the Germans, as well as the commercial bases established by the Germans in Tonga.
