I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 623: We Will Go Through Fire and Water
The backyard of Guanyangxuan.

The temporary office of the Hunan Bureau of the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division.

In the main house on the north side, the sunlight shines in through the windows, making it bright.

Ren Boan sat at the top, with eleven people sitting around him.

First, Wang Congyib, the office manager, reported.

"As soon as Ren Dushi made his move, our new government office was settled. Yesterday I went to the Changsha prefectural government office to handle the formalities. Puxianyuan, the Buddhist temple three streets away from the police station, was sealed by the government in the second year of Longqing because of illegal activities. Now it is allocated to us.

The magistrate in charge said that it was because the Governor's Office had made a request that the formalities were completed so quickly. "

Everyone quickly followed suit and flattered Ren Boan.

"We will follow Ren Dushi, and we will have good food and drink and live a good life in the future."

"We are the officials appointed by Governor Wang himself. Not to mention the Provincial Government, even the Governor's Office has to give us some respect."

Ren Boan waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop flattering.

"Master Wang, when can we move in?"

It used to be a station, so it was quite small. Now it has been expanded into a bureau. Although small, it has everything. Once various departments and institutions are opened, they need spacious places, and Guanyangxuan cannot accommodate them at all.

"To reply to the chief, I received the title deed and documents yesterday, and have asked people to repair and clean the house today. I specifically instructed them to repair the important parts first, and then clean it up, and then we can move in first.

Small places can be repaired slowly later. Puxian Temple was also built 20 or 30 years ago. The house is not old and there are no major problems. It is estimated that it will take about ten days to repair and clean it, and then we can move in. "

"Okay. The approval document from the Jinyiwei headquarters has also come down. Legally speaking, the Jinyiwei Zhenfusi Hunan Dispatching Bureau has been established. Once Puxianyuan is repaired and cleaned, we will all move in, and then choose an auspicious day to officially open for business."

"Good!" Everyone applauded.

"We are all thanks to Ren Dushi."

Ren Boan waved his hand and said, "The government office has been found and the approval document has also been issued. According to the document approved by the Honglu Temple, our bureau has 112 staff.

We only have 53 people on the list now, and we are still short of manpower. We will be assigned 15 retired non-commissioned officers and officers, 17 graduates from the Imperial Academy and colleges, and 15 backbones from other places.

There are still 12 vacancies, which means to keep it simple. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. First recruit them, then study, and then be recruited as clerks through supplementary recruitment.

Everyone, there is no need for a recruitment exam, we can just do an internal exam. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you will never have it again. If you have any relatives who are students and are smart, go to the Personnel Department to sign up."

As soon as Ren Boan said this, everyone understood that this was a "benefit" that Ren Dushi had arranged for from above.

If you have any relatives, hurry up and get them into the Jinyiwei to work as clerks and receive royal rations.

Everyone works for the Jinyiwei, so they are the most well-informed.

The "Provisional Regulations on Civil Service Recruitment Examination" formulated by the cabinet has been issued, and the new rules are gradually becoming clear.

After the provincial examination, there is the civil servant recruitment examination, or the local official recruitment examination. The joint examination is the official recruitment examination, or the central official recruitment examination.

The former is to recruit officials for the departments under the third-level government agencies in the province. Those with average performance during the probation period will not be admitted into the regular ranks. After the six-month probation period, normal officials will start as regular officials. A few with excellent performance during the probation period will start from the ninth rank.

Those with excellent test scores will not be admitted during the internship period. After the internship period, normal people will start from the ninth rank, and excellent ones will start from the ninth rank.

The latter is to recruit officials for the central government and the three provincial offices. As long as they pass the examination, they will start from the eighth rank. They are not called interns, but observation officials. They observe officials for half a year, and then take another exam at the end of the period. Based on the practical evaluation during the observation period, the Shujishi are selected.

Shujishi usually start from the seventh rank and are assigned to key departments, so their future is promising.

The rest started from the eighth rank, and the outstanding ones started from the eighth rank. Some were assigned to the central government, and some were assigned to the two departments in each province.

The provincial and metropolitan examinations were divided into two sections: national politics and national law. For national law, candidates could enter the Censorate or the Ministry of Justice. For national politics, candidates could go to any of the Cabinet, the Law Courts, the Three Departments, and the prefectures and counties.

This is the correct way. There are also more special ways such as supplementary recording and special recording.

Supplementary recruitment is just like what I just said. When new government offices are established, they are in urgent need of manpower. With special approval, the government office will recruit suitable talents internally. However, there are certain requirements. They must be students, scholars, and juren. They must be sent to study in higher places, and they must take exams after studying. If they fail the exams, they will be dismissed immediately.

There are two types of special recruitment: one is to transfer from the "industrial and mining companies" under the Shaofujian and Taifujian to the central and local government offices. In modern popular terms, it means that leading cadres trained by state-owned enterprises are transferred to local areas.

Second, officers and non-commissioned officers of the army and navy retired and transferred to local jobs.

They also had to go to a study class first to get familiar with the operation procedures of the central and local government offices, and the relevant laws and regulations before taking the exam. However, their exams were much easier, and there was no such thing as being expelled. If they did not do well in the exam, they would have to study for a longer period of time.

But just compare, how difficult is the provincial examination and how difficult is the metropolitan examination!
Now the Pacification Office has such a good opportunity to take care of everyone, and we must seize it.

Everyone was thinking in their minds which relative of theirs met the requirements and was worth fighting for.

They all said in unison: "Thank you for your consideration and for bringing benefits to our subordinates."

As expected of a capable general appointed by Wang Duxian himself, he has great connections. All the three departments of the provinces and the prefectures and counties would not want such a good thing, but the Ministry of Personnel and the Honglu Temple can only approve a few in a year.

Don’t approve your recruitment?
Haha, without the establishment of the Ministry of Revenue there will be no budget, and without a budget there will be no salaries and allowances. Are my colleagues in office willing to give away part of their salaries and allowances?

Set up a slush fund to get extra income?

If you don’t find out what you are eating, you will find out what your whole family is eating.

Now the court is getting more and more tense, and the crackdown is getting stricter and stricter. Things are different now than in the past.

Besides, if there are ways to make money, I can just put it into my own pocket. Why should I put it into the slush fund and hire more non-staff members to work for the government?

Am I so noble?
What a serious problem this is!

Under such circumstances, Ren Boan was still able to get a chance to re-record. In addition to the fact that Jinyiwei himself was special, it also showed that he was quite capable.

As subordinates, who among us would not support a boss who is capable of getting benefits for his subordinates?
Ren Boan waved his hand nonchalantly, "Okay, let's talk business now. Director Zheng, the Taichang Temple recently promulgated the new "Da Ming Newspaper and Book Printing and Distribution Regulations", announcing that starting from the first day of the first lunar month of the second year of Wanli, the printing of books must be the responsibility of publishing houses approved and established in various places.

In addition to the Xiangjiang Publishing House of the Xiangjiang Political Newspaper, the Hunan Provincial Government has also approved the Baling Publishing House. You should contact them more often and take up the responsibility of inspecting the publication of books. "

In addition to daily sending and receiving confidential documents and keeping confidential files, the Confidential Department is also responsible for checking newspapers and printing books.

Ren Boan paused and continued, "The new rules of the Taichang Temple are that from now on, all new books that are printed and distributed, in addition to those published by publishing houses, must have a publication number.

The publication number is compiled by the Taichang Temple and distributed to various regular publishing houses. A publication number means that a publishing house has reviewed the new book and is willing to guarantee it.

You should keep in touch with them more often so that you can carry out your work in the future. "Pan Shiliang, the head of the Confidential Affairs Department, quickly replied: "If you want to tell the capital, we have already contacted Xiangjiang Publishing House and Baling Book Society. We also heard that Yuelu Academy and Shigu Academy are also actively trying to get a publishing house license from the Taichang Temple."

Ren Boan laughed, "They can't get it. At least they can't get it now."

Why can’t I get it?

Ren Boan did not explain, and no one dared to ask, but they just felt it was impressive.

We all deserve to have studied in the Patriotic Academy Study Class, and we know a lot of "high-level confidential information" that we don't know.

Ren Boan continued, "The Investigation Division is investigating the case of Shigu Academy's illegal publication of books and collecting evidence. Now we have a clue, and it all lies with Li Lang, the youngest son of Li Shan, the chief priest of Shigu Academy.

The case has been investigated to this point, and now there is a thorny problem. Liu Huan, please tell everyone about it, and let's brainstorm and help come up with an idea together."

"Yes, everything." Liu Huan introduced to everyone, "Now all the clues are gathered on Li Lang. He has a lot of evidence. The key is how to get it out of his mouth.

It's easy to arrest him, as long as we have clues. Li Lang is just a scholar, and we, the Jinyiwei, dare to arrest him. But Ren Dushi has said that we must not alert the enemy.

So we have to think of a way to get Li Lang without arousing the suspicion of Li Shan, the old fox. "

Ren Boan got an explanation from Wang Yi'e. Evidence about Li Shan and other wealthy families and the mines in southern Hunan should be collected first. Before the arrival of the new governor Ling Yunyi, do not act rashly and alert the enemy.

Now Ren Boan has found a case of illegal book publication and an excuse to investigate and collect evidence in advance, and is looking for evidence and clues from Li Shan's family.

Now that we have the clue, we must not alert Li Shan while looking for evidence.

Liu Huan and the others looked at Ren Boan, their minds were clear as a mirror. Li Shan and the others must have been targeted by Wang Duxian, so he asked Ren Boan to investigate secretly.

The Jinyiwei were responsible for this kind of thing, and they had seen it many times before.

Everyone pretended to be confused tacitly and thought hard about how to catch Li Lang without arousing Li Shan's suspicion.

Pan Shiliang, the head of the Confidential Affairs Department, suddenly came up with a good idea.

"Everything, the autumn examination is approaching, and scholars from all over the country are gathering in Changsha, including students from academies in various places. The most famous academy in Hengzhou Prefecture is Shigu Academy, and there are also Ganquan Academy and Yehou Academy. Among them, Yehou Academy and Shigu Academy are the most incompatible.

At the same time, Yehou Academy and Yuelu Academy also had old grievances. Li Lang was a student of Yuelu Academy and the son of Li Shan, the chief priest of Shigu Academy. His relationship with the students of Yehou Academy was incompatible.

I have heard that Li Lang studied at Shigu Academy, but just a few days after he entered, he had a fight with people from Yehou Academy at the foot of Mount Nanyue. The incident was a big deal and had a very bad influence on the literati.

Li Shan had no choice but to send Li Lang to study at Yuelu Academy."

Ren Boan's eyes flickered. "Are you trying to stir up a fight between the students of Yehou Academy and Li Lang, and then use it as an excuse to ask the National Police Agency to arrest him?"

"Yes, that's what I think."

Liu Huan frowned and said, "Li Shan is the retired Minister of Works in Nanjing. He is a veteran Jinshi and has a huge influence among the gentry in Huguang. Even our Hu Fansi has to call him senior when he sees him.

When the time comes, we can arrest Li Lang, and Li Shan will give them a name tag, and the police department will have to release him. Of course, we can keep him, but the old fox might get suspicious. "

Everyone was speechless for a moment and the room fell into silence.

Ren Boan glanced at everyone, stroked his chin and began to think.

It is really troublesome to catch Li Lang. The key is not to alert the enemy.

The meaning of Wang Yi'e's explanation was very clear. The matter of the mine in southern Hunan was easy to deal with. The key was to catch the wealthy and powerful families behind the mine.

Hai Rui set an example in the southeast. The Southern Examination fraud case, the three banned books case, and the Renaissance Society treason case were all investigated by the procuratorate, the courts, and the courts. The evidence was conclusive and could withstand repeated investigations by the world.

Wang Yi'e and Ling Yunyi committed a major crime in Hunan, and the evidence must be solid and able to withstand repeated investigations.

If we alert the enemy, an old fox like Li Shan will destroy all the evidence and witnesses, and then we will be in trouble.

The emperor has repeatedly stressed that cases must be handled according to the law and convictions must be based on solid evidence. Who would dare to go against his will and slap him in the face?
Ren Boan thought for a while and patted the armrest of the chair.

"Li Lang often went to Wuchang to look for women. With his personality, he must have a criminal record there. Then he would say that the Hubei Police Department had issued a warrant for his arrest. When our Hunan Police Department saw it, we would transfer him to Wuchang.

Li Shan was very well connected in Hunan, but that didn’t work for her in Wuchang.”

That’s right, Hubei is a place of great literary talent, with more Jinshi (imperial examination candidates) and a bunch of gentry. They even have a prime minister who calls himself the Chu Party.

Li Shan was a well-known figure in Hunan, but was nothing in Hubei.

Ren Boan continued, "Li Lang was pretended to be sent to Wuchang, but he was actually kept in the Yuezhou Guards Camp for secret interrogation.

"The king is in charge."

"The humble position is here."

"You were transferred from Wuchang. You are familiar with the place. Go there immediately and make arrangements. If the Li family comes looking for you, you know what to do!"

Wang, the chief official, chuckled and said, "They only take money but don't do anything. Those former jailers were very good at this."

Ren Boan smiled grimly: "It takes four or five days to travel from Wuchang to Changsha by water. As long as we don't let them see anyone and give them a false message, and go back and forth a few times, more than ten days will pass.

By then, the big drama in Hunan will begin, and it won’t matter whether the old fox Li Shan knows about it or not.”

Liu Huan said thoughtfully: "It doesn't matter. We in Huguang are also going to put on a big show? Like the one in the southeast?"

Ren Boan replied without comment: "Su Dushi of the Nanjing Bureau of the Zhenfu Division, my old boss, has now been transferred to the Jinyiwei to serve as the Zhenfu Envoy of the Zhenfu Division.

Before leaving, he told several of us old subordinates with all his heart that the bigger the wind and waves, the bigger the fish caught, and the greater the credit for the fisherman.

Liu Huan and others' eyes suddenly lit up.

Some people heard the merits and started to plan for their future.

Some people also heard the key word "old subordinates of the new pacification envoy".

His boss's background was too strong. Not only was he an old acquaintance of Wang Duxian, he was also an old subordinate of the new pacification envoy.

Ren Dushi, please give the order. We will go through fire and water without hesitation!
