Chapter 631 Corruption
"A place similar to a Senate?" Xiang An frowned, "Who will control it?"
"Of course, it's the leaders of all industries." Ji Sheng said with his fingers, "Now Jiehe Market has 16 major guilds, including brewing, construction, real estate, sea trade, shipbuilding, wood, livestock, rice, grain, medicinal materials, engraving, papermaking, bricks, marls, gold and silver utensils, brothels, restaurants, slave sales, etc. There are 72 minor guilds, a total of 88 guilds. There will be four major guilds, and one minor guild, with a total of 136 major guilds. How many people can Wu Haogu control?"
"At most thirty or forty." Zhang Kexiang calculated, "but half of the sixteen major guilds were in his hands. Seven guilds, including brewing wine, creating, rice, medicinal materials, bricks, marsh, carvings, brothel tiles, etc., listened to him."
"That's much less powerful than in the Senate." Ji Sheng smiled, "In the Senate, we only have three hands, Wu Haogu has sixteen hands... It's impossible to compare! But if there is a guild courtyard, he can have up to thirty or forty hands, and we can pull at least twenty people!"
"Guizhou?" Xiang An thought for a while, "Wu Haogu wouldn't agree, right?"
"There is a way!" Ji Sheng said, "Ji Yizhi gave a move in the letter."
"What kind of immortal trick is it?" Zhang Kexiang asked.
"Let "Shilin" Xinbao encourage the guild to resist taxes after Du Zhongyi's case came out!" Ji Sheng said, "Without the guild, there will be no taxes for the 88 guilds!"
This is considered unrepresented, isn't you paying taxes? Ji Yi, who was busy preparing for his own business market and taking time to make trouble for Wu Haogu, probably never dreamed that he, a scholar-official who was not a businessman, would almost become a feudal gravedigger...
Of course, Wu Haogu would not have thought that his business market had improved to this level. He was listening to the report in the conference room of the political institute at this time.
The Jiehe Shang Municipal Office Building is a four-story "building", which looks similar to the "Doctoral Order Headquarters" building. It is located in the semicircular semicircular center of the South City of Shang City, close to Jiehe. The conference room is located on the third floor, and is a rectangular room facing south. There is a long table in the room. Wu Haogu is sitting in the middle of the table, on the seat on the north and south, in front of him, a stack of records and a stack of reports full of text.
"...The school building of our police patrol school has been built now, and the textbooks and teachers are equipped. The courses that are prepared to be offered are eight subjects, namely "Confucianism", "fencing", "archery", "punishment", "coroner", "detective", "law", and "spy", and the first phase is planned to enroll 50 students."
The person who is making the report is Lin Wancheng. The old man is the first police officer of Jiehe Commercial City. Now he is responsible for the police patrol school to manage a city. There is no need for a well-trained police team! When the police patrols of Jiehe Commercial City are opened, they are all acted as the old soldiers of the imperial guards. Now it is difficult to bear the increasingly complex public security situation of the commercial city!
Therefore, cultivating more capable police inspectors was put on the agenda. Wu Haogu's method was to open a school, and he invited a retired captain from Kaifeng Prefecture to serve as a teacher to systematically train talents.
"We also need to add 'transportation' classes," Wu Haogu interrupted Lin Wancheng. "The police station has now opened transportation services, and the school must keep up. The number of students has doubled, and the first phase will recruit 100 people."
"One hundred people?" Lin Chong interrupted, "Head of the People's Republic of China, there are only more than 200 people in the police station."
Wu Haogu glanced at him: "There will definitely be more than 500 people in two years."
With the large number of merchants who originally lived in Qingzhou and Xijinfucheng, craftsmen moved in, and a large number of construction workers and nobles from the Liao Kingdom settled. The population of Jiehe Commercial City increased rapidly, and now the permanent population of the Commercial City has reached 100,000, and it is possible to double again to 200,000 in two years.
Such a large population certainly requires sufficient police and official forces to manage. Not only will the number of police officers exceed 500, but the number of civil servants in other departments will also increase significantly. If the total number exceeds 500, it is probably a time to arrive earlier.
"Head of State," Zhang Xizai, deputy mayor and finance director of the Shang City, reminded Wuhao Ancient Road, "Are there too many people eating public food? There are already more than 700 people now, if the police patrol 500..."
"In two years, there will be more than 1,500 public transport personnel!"
"1,500 people?" Zhang Xizai frowned, "It's too many, right? Now the personnel expenses per year are more than 140,000. If it reaches 1,500 people, wouldn't it cost more than 300,000?"
The salary of civil servants in Jiehe Shang City is not low. The monthly salary of the grassroots police officers and various benefits is also 12 horses, which is compared with the regular salary of the ninth-rank official of the Song Dynasty.
"At that time, I'm afraid it will cost 400,000 people." Wu Haogu smiled, "It's a high salary to support the integrity! This money cannot be saved. The public business of the city should have a promotion charter and a level should be set.
In addition, there must be a system for maintaining integrity, which not only requires high salaries, but also a pension for maintaining integrity, and benefits such as public housing... As long as our public business can be honest and self-confident until we retire, we can have a good pension and get real estate as a reward.
If they lose their public office due to corruption and bribery during their employment, their pension and public housing must be recovered!"
Wu Haogu has always been a headache for the corruption of the market. The chaotic era of the chaotic market is not suitable for use in Jiehe Market. Because the market is not a legitimate prefecture or country. Strictly speaking, it is still a business department that is equivalent to a city-run company. It is not a good idea to kill a corruption and bribery manager? The victim may have to beat the drum to complain to the emperor. How should Wu Haogu end?
Therefore, when the Shangcheng Senate formulated the law, it has always avoided heavy punishments to avoid causing judicial disputes.
Wu Haogu can only take economic rewards or punishments to deal with civil servants who do not abide by the rules.
However, this method cannot have any immediate effect. Nowadays, twenty or thirty civil servants in the commercial city are fired or even sentenced by the commercial city magistrates, including many middle and senior civil servants!
In addition, Wu Haogu's purpose of paying high salaries to commercial civil servants is not only to maintain integrity, but also to attract students from new-style schools such as Jiehe Yuntai Academy to serve commercial officials.
In turn, the high-paying positions provided by the market will also become the driving force for students to apply for new-style schools like the Academy.
Students of the new-style school became civil servants in the Shang City, members of the doctoral organization, officials of Jiehe Maritime Bureau, and managers of half-new and half-old commercial institutions like the Republic, and gradually formed a new group. An elite group different from traditional scholars and businessmen. With them, Jiehe Shang City became a new autonomous city different from other cities in the Song Dynasty.
"Silang," Wu Haogu then pointed Huang Zhisheng's name, "The public housing house should be built according to the standard of 'Shikumen'. It should not be too small, at least two rooms. Take out a circle of land within the circular wall to build the public housing house."
The circular wall is the city wall of Jiehe Shang City. Because it is an illegal building (according to the "Chanyuan Alliance", the Song Dynasty could not build a city wall on land close to the border of the Liao Kingdom), so it cannot be called a city wall. It was called a fence at the beginning, but now it is called a circular wall.
When building the circular wall, Huang Zhisheng, who was responsible for the construction, was very careful and expanded the location of the circular wall. In this way, a circle of land was added between the 34 yards and the circular wall of Jie Henan City, becoming the property of Jiehe Commercial City. In addition, the land in Jiehe City and the land outside Jiehe Commercial City were not allocated to shareholders, so it is also the real estate of the commercial city. However, now except Jiehe City, the real estate elsewhere is not valuable. Therefore, Wu Haogu took out the circle of land in Jiehe City's circular wall to build a public housing house.
While the municipal meeting was in progress, the gate of the hall was suddenly pushed open. Wu Chenglan, who walked in, walked in quickly. He arrived behind Wu Haogu and whispered: "Head of State, someone from the Shipbuilding Corps exposed the Treasury Du from the Finance Department for bribery!"
"Du Taxun?" Wu Haogu frowned, "Du Wenzhong?"
"right!"
"This kid is not..." Wu Haogu shook his head repeatedly.
Du Wenzhong is Du Wenyu's brother, and Du Wenyuyang arranged by Wu Haogu to Feique Wu Haogu never avoids relatives in Jiehe Market. The Wu family, Ximen family, Murong family, and Du family have used a lot of children, and he also uses several of his confidant families. People often get caught for corruption and bribery, and Wu Haogu doesn't punish them severely, but they just make up the matter and add a never-hiring one.
"Teacher Lin," Wu Haogu just sighed, and didn't expect that this matter would cause a lot of trouble. "You go and put Du Wenzhong under house arrest first."
Now Jiehe Market does not have an independent clean government agency. The anti-corruption work is supervised by the Senate, the police inspectors are responsible for investigating and arresting people, and the judges are responsible for judgment and execution.
Of course, if Wu Haogu wants to shelter anyone, it will be a matter of one word. Wu Haogu is not a master of Qingtian, and he is very careful about a truly useful confidant. Even if the corruption and bribery are reported, he will try his best to suppress it, and then change him to a position away from money. The main reason is that the temptation of evil money is too great!
