Corrupt County Magistrate (5)
With superb acting skills, Ji Changze successfully dumped all the things he should have done on his poor subordinates in the morning.
He didn't mean to trick them. Strictly speaking, these matters were not the responsibility of the county government. They were all taken over by Ji Changze from outside.
If he just let his subordinates do the work for him, and the superiors had to do the work they didn't have to do themselves, most people would not be happy even if they were given a salary increase.
Especially since they were "civil servants", except for the poor Wu County Magistrate, the others were actually not very greedy for money.
Of course, they would not refuse the money.
Look at how good it is now. Just a few words, someone helped Ji Changze do the work on his hands, and he was happy. Those who helped him do the work felt that they were the confidants of the county magistrate, and they were also happy.
And he didn't lie. In his heart, these subordinates were indeed of the same mind as him, and he really trusted them.
After all, those who were not of the same mind as him had been sent out in the past few days.
Now everyone is happy, and it is impossible not to say that it is perfect.
Lord Ji, who has nothing to do, eats melon seeds and goes to see his small vegetable garden in the inner court.
He waters the plants, watches others fertilize, puts a recliner in the sun, drinks juice squeezed by others, and eats snacks freshly made in the kitchen.
Ji Changze, who is sunbathing, sighs that he is really too tired recently and needs to rest well.
Over there, the chief clerk is busy calculating the extra accounts of Chui Liu County because of their magistrate. When he gets to the most difficult part, he wants to grab Ji Changze and shake him, yelling and asking him why he has so many side jobs.
Yuan Huayi is fine, after all, Yuan Huayi has its own account office, and he only needs to coordinate the silver from Yuan Huayi to support the county government.
But let's take a look at what good things their magistrate Ji has done.
The big and small shopping streets have to collect stall fees every day, but that's fine. After all, the money will be counted as the government's income, which is what he had to do. Building an orphanage and a nursing home is fine, after all, it's a good thing, and it can be justified in the tourist city. After all, it is to attract outsiders to Chui Liu to boost the economy.
What are these "how to eat experimental seafood", "whether raising cats and dogs will increase the happiness of the people", "government runners' protection expenses", "the birth of large ships"? ! !
He took a deep breath, and when he saw an account book with "county government personnel estimated expenditure this year", he opened it and saw his page. When he saw it clearly stated that Liang Zhubu's salary increased to one or two taels, and there were festival gifts and benefits behind it, the anger magically disappeared.
The salary of the Zhubu is fixed. Lord Ji gave more, which must be paid out of his own pocket. Such a good superior, who treated him as his own person wholeheartedly, how could he bear not to share the burden for his superior?
Meanwhile, County Magistrate Wu was locked up in his study every day, gritting his teeth and writing "Tourism Guide", "Top Ten Tourist Attractions in Chui Liu County", "On the Origin of Yuanhua", "The Role of Large and Small Commercial Streets in Chui Liu County", etc., gritting his teeth, while admiring Lord Ji for being so talented in writing. If it were him, he would have racked his brains to think of writing articles like this.
Captain Wang led his subordinates to intensify the inspection. After the inspection, he trained his subordinates in a deserted place nearby according to the method given by the magistrate. Last time, the magistrate even specially found someone to make new clothes for them, and also specially made protective clothing for them that could protect the important parts of the body.
Usually, the constables only looked impressive in front of the people, but in fact, they were nothing in front of the superiors. Wang Putou had been in the county government for more than ten years and had sent off several adults. This was the first time that an adult took the initiative to upgrade their protection.
It was also the first time that an adult regarded him as the most trusted person in the county government.
In the past, most of the county magistrates were best friends with the county magistrates, and they would not even look at the people under them. Now, he had a rare opportunity to show his face in front of the county magistrate, so how could he not seize it?
He walked through a row of constables standing upright with a serious expression: "Stand still, the county magistrate has said that we must make sure that those petty thieves dare not show up. The magistrate has given us clothes and bonuses, and also bought pork, mutton and vegetables and sent them to our homes. We must live up to the magistrate's care."
"If anyone dares to be lazy and can't keep up with the training, get out as soon as possible. Don't think that you are not afraid because the magistrate is not watching in person. The magistrate told me personally that all the constables under me are under the full responsibility of this head constable. If any of you are cunning and sly, I will directly drive you out of the county government office, and the magistrate will only praise me for doing a good job!"
Captain Wang has been in the county government office for more than ten years. This is the first time he has been so powerful. He is so happy in his heart.
The constables who were standing straight also stood up straight as he said.
If they lost their positions as constables before, they would feel disappointed but not too upset, but now it is different.
Since Lord Ji took office, the treatment of these constables has been much better than before. The monthly salary has increased, and they also have new clothes and new boots. Not only do they look very energetic when they wear them, but they also look very face-saving when they wear them out.
Even the official sword, although the sword has not been replaced, was carefully polished by Yuki-sama outside. He even hired someone to boil sweet water and make cakes and put them in front of the county government office. Although the reasons given were these Anyone who is a public employee of the county government can eat and drink Tianshui pastry, but in the entire county government, they are the only ones who have the most access to the gates of the police officers who are going out to patrol the streets. Isn't it placed at the door just for them?
Not to mention the clothes specially designed to protect them, and the boxing gifts that are enough for the whole family to eat for a month. Of course, a month is calculated based on very frugal.
The most important thing is that wherever they and their families go, people will look at them with envy.
It was Ji Changze who did it.
Didn't he build some bathhouses in Weeping Willow? There are two bathhouses, which are specially used by county government officials and their families. Immediate relatives, such as mothers, fathers, children, brothers and sisters, can enter as long as they live together.
It's a privilege, but this bathhouse was built by the county magistrate himself. He spent his own money to make it convenient for his subordinates, and no one could say anything.
For the police officers, this benefit was really touching. Those civilian employees were already respected, but the police officers had always been in a miserable situation.
The monthly salary is not as much as that of a civil servant, but the work is more tiring than that of a civil servant. I have to work hard every day without touching the ground. The common people are afraid of themselves because they have to deal with danger every day. Even better-off families are not willing to give away girls. Get married.
But it's different now. The relatives of the government officials are also counted as family members by Mr. Ji. The family members go to the special bathhouse, and there are still fewer people to save their face.
Not only the bathhouse children, but also the family members of the county government officials go to small shopping streets to set up stalls for free. Although they only have a penny, who wouldn't be happy? There are also the people who built the fragrant pancreas factory, built roads, and built public toilets before. In orphanages and nursing homes, these good jobs that provide food and accommodation and plenty of money are also given priority to the families of government officials.
Several of the wives of the agents are now helping to take care of the children in the orphanage. Not only can they get money back every month, they, the agents, can also work there to make a living.
This is also what Ji Changze allowed. The agents are his subordinates, and he opened the orphanage with money. A few more people to eat is nothing, but it can make these agents who can eat in the orphanage take care of him. Take out the lungs.
Moreover, this is ancient times, and the natural class system prevents those who have benefited from it. After all, Ji Changze has the power to kill them. If any of them takes the benefit and does nothing, no need to think about the consequences.
Didn't you notice what Ji Changze said recently? Do all the policemen treat them as if they were following the golden rule?
Wuxian Cheng has seen all the changes in his subordinates during this period, which further confirmed that Master Ji is good at playing with people's hearts and has deep intentions.
Fortunately, in Mr. Ji's heart, they are of the same mind, and he doesn't have to worry about Mr. Ji playing tricks on him.
It was also a credit to Ji Changze that he didn't know what Wuxian Cheng was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely think that Wuxian Cheng was thinking too complicatedly.
He has always felt that he doesn't like to figure out people's hearts, but isn't it easy to understand people's hearts? He didn't have to guess or think, he could tell what these people wanted and what those people wanted at a glance.
He did these things with the good intention of "I don't mind letting you have fun while doing things for me."
Well, after all, he is still too kind, and when he asks others to do things for him, he goes out of his way to make them happy.
There is no such a good boss as him anywhere else.
My good boss Ji Changze still eats and drinks every day, goes shopping with his wife, goes to the tourist city to provide guidance on work, and looks at his vegetable garden. He goes to bed at the same time every day, and can sleep in bed in the morning, living his own leisurely life. In less than a month, I have gained two pounds.
Finally, three subordinates, a county magistrate whose hairline gradually moved up, a chief clerk who had lost a lot of hair and had two big dark circles under his eyes, and another whose chest and biceps had become much stronger, were wearing it every day. The catchers who followed their subordinates either patrolling the streets or exercising, and occasionally visiting a few thieves' dens for hard-core exercises, all announced that they had finished what Mr. Ji asked them to do.
Ji Changze was very satisfied.
He used his own money to pay bonuses to them one by one, patted them on the shoulders one by one, and his face was full of appreciation.
"Very good. You have done beyond my expectations. The tourist city has been completely completed and we, Weeping Willow, can welcome tourists from out of town."
He looked at the subordinate in front of him who was in danger of baldness, the one who had transformed into a national treasure, and the one who was more than a little tanned, with a friendly smile on his face.
"I originally thought that in this huge county government, I could only trust one person, but now it seems that the three of you are my right-hand men. You and I are truly of the same mind."
The tired expressions on the faces of the three of them were slightly reduced, and they all showed a bit of pride.
They looked at each other without any trace, and naturally did not miss the same pride and satisfaction on the faces of the other two.
The three of them are all proud and complacent, and they automatically assume that they are the "one person" among the "only one person can be trusted" whom the Lord just said.
Tsk, look at them, they still don’t know that the adults have been of the same mind as themselves before, and that they are the first person trusted by the adults.
Even if the adults are of the same mind as them now, my own heart is still the most important. ,,
