Crimson Dawn

Chapter 114

Waiting for Shang Yuan in the house are several main "officials" in the county.To be more precise, it is the three "officials" who have not been eliminated by Shang Yuan.Since Shang Yuan arrived in Fengtai County, he began to replace the main "officials" in the county with members of the People's Party.The first is the "yamen servant".In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the yamen servants themselves not only had to undertake various security tasks, but also took on many other tasks, such as collecting taxes and issuing civil servants.Anyway, it's a pretty versatile job.

According to the system of the Qing Dynasty, "officials" were selected through imperial examinations, and they acted as the top administrative leaders in various places. However, it is impossible to govern a locality by relying on officials alone, and it is naturally impossible for the country to recruit a large number of manpower to serve as grassroots administrative staff. Local officials can appoint "officials".For example, Shang Yuan himself is a juren and can serve as a magistrate.However, the "officials" below Shangyuan were not produced through the imperial examination, but were either local hereditary or "recommended recruitment".Although these people do not have "official status", they have a great say in the local political system, and these "officials" are all from the local government.It's a local snake.

In the political system structured by Chen Ke, there is naturally no room for such old-style "little officials".What Chen Ke is going to adopt is to imitate the bureaucratic system of the Republic.

The biggest difference between the bureaucratic system of the New Republic of China and the bureaucratic system of the Manchu and previous dynasties is that the Republic is "undifferentiated between officials and officials".

Roughly speaking, in the Manchu Qing system, “officials” were in charge of administration, and “officials” were responsible for carrying out administrative tasks.Without passing the imperial examination, "officials" have not been promoted to "official" system.

In the Republic, no matter whether you are an "official" or an "official", you must pass the organizational selection and test, and those who are selected are collectively called "national staff". "National staff" also have no chance to reach the sky in one step.The cadres of the Republic all start from the grassroots level and do the work of "officials" first. If they can perform well, they will climb the stairs in the selection system and step up to higher-level positions step by step.

This selection system must be infinitely superior to the political system of the Manchu Qing era. This system guaranteed the unity and competitiveness of the administrative agencies.As long as you are included in the "National Staff" system, you will have the opportunity to be famous.In the Manchu Qing era, there was no "in-system" opportunity for petty officials to become officials.

But the so-called "a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake", and those who can mix with "little officials" in the local area are not ordinary people.Therefore, the People's Party originally formulated a plan to get rid of the petty officials, but it is not as good as the sky. After the flood, the power of the insurance group expanded violently, and by organizing the victims, the People's Party has completely held the real power in the local area. .The petty officials in the county government were dismissed one after another.The "Master County Magistrate" above ignored them, and the people below were completely controlled by the insurance group.On the day Zhang Youliang was wiped out, Shang Yuan told several petty officials in charge of taxation and government officials that they were "laid off", and Shang Yuan told them very clearly that he hoped that these people would voluntarily ask them to leave.This saves everyone's face.

These few people are here today to give the final answer.

Chen Ke felt that he had been very murderous recently, or in other words, facing the complicated situation, Chen Ke's patience had been exhausted.He has decided to take "simple and rude" means to solve some problems.He had already instructed Hua Xiongmao that if these people "occupied the latrine and refused to shit", then they had to "take some measures".Anyway, the People's Party does not lack manpower. Under the current situation, there is absolutely no need for the existence of petty officials.

Now that he has this thought in mind, Chen Ke has no intention of "confiding his heart" to these people at all.He came here just to hear the attitude of these people.Shang Yuan himself also meant the same thing.As a bureaucrat and landlord, Shang Yuan has a very bad impression of "little officials".As bureaucrats, petty officials are obedient and vicious, and try their best to make the existence of superior officials overhead.For the landlords, petty officials are a group of levies and tyranny.Shang Yuan, a landlord and bureaucrat at the same time, firmly supported Chen Kedang's plan to pacify the petty official.

These small officials were also from people with some status in the county, although Shang Yuan ordered them to dismiss themselves, but until now, they still have no panic.On the contrary, these few people seemed to really want to "fight" with Shang Yuan.

"Lord county magistrate, the villain doesn't know what he did wrong. The county magistrate wants to treat the villain like this." Liu Wenshu, who was in charge of money and grain, asked.Liu Wenshu is in his 30s this year and inherited his father's clerical work.

"Liu San at the pier said that you asked him to do everything possible to prevent the insurance group's ship from docking at the pier. I feel that in this extraordinary period, we should work together to rescue the disaster. Don't you feel guilty for doing this?" Shang Yuan asked sharply .

Liu San is a relative of Liu Wenshu, who dominates the wharf business in Fengtai County.During the disaster relief period, the insurance group collected ships, and also bought a large ship to transport grain, Liu San was always very upset.However, the insurance group never gave Liu San a chance. Now that Shang Yuan brought up this topic, although Liu Wenshu did come up with some ideas, he felt that since Liu San hadn't really acted, the charge was naturally not valid.

"Lord county magistrate, you are being accused of weaving." Liu Wenshu knew that Shang Yuan would never let him go, so he simply put aside his respectful expression and said sharply.

"Fill the charges? This officer has already charged you, what are you going to do?" Shang Yuan sneered.

"You!" Liu Wenshu didn't expect that Shangyuan County Magistrate, who usually looks very polite, would be so unreasonable when he became arrogant.But he really had no way to refute it.

"Do you dare to say that you didn't collude with Liu San?" Shang Yuan laughed and said, his eyes were cold, staring at Liu Wenshu closely.

"I, I dare to say it!" In this case, Liu Wenshu simply insisted on being tough.

"Bring Liu San in." Shang Yuan shouted.The soldiers from the insurance group outside responded, and not long after, a man with a pale complexion was dragged in.The three little officials were inexplicably surprised at first glance, Liu San was originally a dark and thin man, but now he has become white and plump.After careful identification, it was found that it was Liu San.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Chen Ke almost laughed out loud.This Liu San soaked in the dark "water dungeon" for a day, and his whole body was "haired".Naturally, it is "white" and "fat".The advantage of a scholar is that he is well-informed, and Chen Ke has more knowledge on the Internet.The KGB has accumulated long-term experience of torture, and the result they have come to is that torture only gets the result that the interrogator wants to hear.And Chen Ke didn't want Liu San to tell the "truth" at all.So after he caught Liu San, he took the less bloody waterboarding.

One of the methods of torture to create pain and despair is not to let the prisoner get used to a certain kind of pain.You have to find ways to create pain from different angles.So first he was suffocated by hanging upside down, and Liu San was hung upside down into the water for one and a half minutes at a time.Without anyone asking, Liu San was repeatedly plunged into the water for half an hour.Liu San wailed and repeatedly said that he could do whatever he wanted.

The torture officer asked Liu San about Liu Wenshu's collusion with Liu San in trying to sabotage the transportation of the insurance group, but Liu San refused to recruit at first.So the torture officer adopted Lai Junchen's method of "inviting the king into the urn".There is no shortage of coal in Fengtai County, so find a big urn, bundle Liu San into it, and burn coal underneath.Liu San arched outwards after eating hot, and the interrogator poured vinegar into Liu San's nose.Once poured down, Liu San completely surrendered.

Whatever the interrogator asked him to say, he said.Let him sign and draw a deposit, and he will sign and draw a deposit.In order to consolidate the "persuasion effect", the interrogator followed Chen Ke's wishes and tied Liu San into immobilization.In particular, the head was fixed, so that Liu San couldn't move at all except for the eyes.Then put it in a closed water cell without light for a day.If you can't move, you can't relieve the pressure, and the dark water prison can greatly destroy people's spirit.The Americans did this in Guantanamo, and Chen Ke felt that it was necessary for him to learn from the experience of democratic torture.

After dragging Liu San out, the effect was really like the effect of the US military, and Liu San collapsed.Except for "whitening", Liu San has no scars on his body.

"Liu San, who ordered you to make trouble for the insurance company's fleet?" Chen Ke asked.

Liu San stared blankly at several people, then pointed at Liu Wenshu. "It's him." Although Liu San had soaked for a day, his mouth was dry and his throat was hoarse.It sounds like an old man.

"You are training to become a prison!" Liu Wenshu shouted angrily.

"Liu San, take off your shirt and let them see if they haven't hit you." Chen Ke asked.

Liu San's body shook, but he didn't move.

"Don't be afraid, I'll buy you some tea." Chen Ke said comfortingly.

As soon as he heard "water", Liu San's body shook and he almost cried out.He looked at Chen Ke pleadingly, and Chen Ke smiled at him, "Don't be afraid, with the county magistrate here, they dare not do anything to you."

Liu San looked at Chen Ke in fear, and then looked at several people around him, only to see Chen Ke took a sip of the tea bowl.Liu San hurriedly took off his shirt, and then took off his trousers in a flurry.Sure enough, apart from "Bai Pang", there was no scar on his body.

"Liu San, did we hit you?" Chen Ke asked.

Liu San shook his head quickly, and kept saying in a hoarse voice: "No, no. Didn't hit me."

Shang Yuan didn't care about Liu San's tragic situation, he asked sharply: "Liu Wenshu, now we have witnesses. What else do you have to say. I don't want to make everyone down, you have to ask me to take the physical evidence as well." It’s impossible to come out. If there are all the witnesses and material evidence, I won’t ask you to dismiss yourself decently. Then I will convict you.”

Liu Wenshu was furious, he snorted and was about to leave.But the door was blocked by several soldiers from the insurance regiment.

"Liu Wenshu, you want to leave this door without writing a request for withdrawal. I also told you that you can withdraw if you don't want to. The food in the official warehouse is not enough. As the clerk in charge of the official warehouse, this You have to explain everything to me. If I don’t see your papers, please return them when I come back, I will send someone to take you back to the yamen, and ask about the food.” Shang Yuan finished speaking After that, no more words.He and Chen Ke got up and left the Yamen together.A few people with frightened and angry faces were left in the house.

"Brother Wangshan, do you think the positions of these small officials can make those landlords take the bait?" Chen Ke asked with a smile on the way.

"Wen Qing, you don't know the hatefulness of petty officials. You can't imagine how the landlords hate petty officials." Shang Yuan just sneered.

"That is to say, our bargaining chip has increased by a few points." I will go back to wrangling with the landlords soon.Although the episode in the middle is not very witty, the feeling of suppressing those villains with power and violence is still very happy.Chen Ke finally laughed out loud.
