At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

If the emperor wavers, the courtiers must waver one after another. This is a disaster for the relatively weak reformers.

This is a great test of Guo Jin's political determination and vision as an emperor.

It all depends on Guo Jin's courage whether he can firmly support the development of some businesses, insist on not changing the current model, not suppressing the reformers, and not complying with the demands of the conservatives to change the situation of the Wei Empire.

Therefore, the biggest impact of this wave of economic crisis is not economic impact, but political impact.

A huge blow to the reformers will severely impact the fragile business model that the Wei Empire has just developed.

It will also have an impact on Guo Peng's "going out" strategy, which Guo Peng cannot accept anyway.

This is Guo Peng's reverse scale.

It is a place where he cannot be offended.

Anyone who dares to take action against this achievement is courting death.

After so many years of hard work, it is to let the people of the Wei Empire break the shackles of existing concepts, work hard to attack outside, and find a way out. Now, the conservatives are very likely to expand the contradiction along the economic crisis, pointing at Guo Peng's formula Strategy.

That's something Guo Peng can't stand.

He felt that Guo Jin would not accept such a thing—his younger brothers were still sending them out.

Now, it remains to see how the situation will develop.

In addition, he will continue to introduce outstanding officials with innovative tendencies into the central government to expand the political power of the reformers so that they can continue to maintain the achievements of Guo Peng's reforms after his death in the future.

Cao Ang couldn't understand Guo Peng's worries.

Similarly, Guo Chengzhi, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't understand it either.

However, things did develop as Guo Peng expected.

The economic crisis spread along with the trade routes. After the crisis of the Zhenxi Protectorate's Mansion, the crisis of the Beiting Governor's Mansion and the Annan Protectorate's Mansion followed.

From the first restaurant or hotel in the westernmost city of the two prefectures that could not persist and chose to go bankrupt, this bankruptcy seemed to form a wave, and it began to spread in the city and spread to other cities.

Those with small scale, weak capital, and unable to attract many customers, had no customers for more than ten days in a row.

Then I went to the government to ask my grandpa to sue my grandma, and told the government not to arrest them or embarrass them. They will try their best to repay the loan, and just ask the officials to give them some time.

The officials were unprepared at the beginning. They just thought it was a normal situation and there was no need to embarrass these people.

So set a time with them, agree on a deadline, and repay the loan before the deadline.

But as more and more people came to ask questions like this, the officials felt that the question was not right, and began to report it to let the county magistrates and county heads know about it.

After the magistrates and magistrates knew about this, it was Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi's turn to know about it.

But at this moment, they were already prepared for such a thing.

Before such a thing happened, they had completed the tasks assigned by the court ahead of time and were ready to deal with the shock.

Needless to say, if the imperial court hadn't informed them in advance to make preparations, if the preparations had only started now, the situation in Beiting Dufu Mansion and Annan Duhu Mansion would be much worse than it is now.

Despite the preparations, there are still many shops that cannot continue to operate and close down.

It is conceivable that if there is no previous preparation, there will be many more closed stores now.

Zhuge Liang's side was told by Guo Peng after he arrived, and Zhuge Liang himself had expected a little bit of the situation.

Sima Yi was just as smart. He deduced from the clues that the crisis was coming, and after receiving a warning from the court, he began to prepare to restrict business.

The means of the two are not the same.

It is very difficult to develop a business. You have to start from scratch. Once you get it on track, it will be easier. The same is true for restricting business. It is also very difficult to order all localities to reject applications for opening stores and close some stores.

Compared with Beiting Duhufu in Shanbei Road, there are more oases in Shannan Road, but they are also more fragmented. It is more difficult to develop agriculture, and it is more necessary to rely on commerce to develop the economy.

Coupled with Sima Yi's sense of urgency and anxiety, he developed even harder and more aggressively than Zhuge Liang.

When Sima Yi learned that Zhuge Liang's tax income was higher than his, he decided to adopt Zhuge Liang's development model, and also vigorously developed service-oriented cities to attract more caravans to take the Shannan Road instead of the Shanbei Road.

He anxiously followed Zhuge Liang's pace, fearing that he would leave him too far behind.

As a result, before the crisis came, the situation he faced was more dangerous than that faced by Zhuge Liang.

It's not difficult to reject the application. If you don't approve it, you can block those people.

No matter how they make trouble, they can't set up shops without the permission of the government, and the loan has not been processed, and there is no interest relationship.

But it is not easy to close the shops that have been allowed to open.

Especially for those small shops that have just successfully applied, received loans and invested their own savings, opened the shop for business or just opened, you now say that it does not meet the standards, and if you want to close it, it is simply killing them.

I just opened the store, I have invested everything that should be invested, and I haven't made any money yet, so why don't you open it?

Aren't you disregarding human life?

One family or two, these people have little power, and they dare not confront the government. Now that the number has increased, dozens of small businesses have been threatened together, so what's the matter?

Close it if you say it?

Have you done this?

don't close!Just leave it off!

This group of people also has a stubborn temper, and when there are many people, they are not afraid of the government. When the relevant officials were sent to perform tasks, the other party called seven aunts, eight aunts, neighbors, and dozens of people to block them there. , I didn't let those officials and officials take a step forward.

It's useless to say it anyway, Wen's idea is not going to work, and the officials from all over the country are so big that they don't know what to do, so they report the news to Sima Yi one after another.

Sima Yi also has a head as big as a bucket.

He is very aware of the urgency of this matter. If it is not closed now, and the loss cannot be stopped in time now, it will be a big financial black hole when the funds are exhausted before closing down.

Most of these people who set up small shops borrowed loans, and when the loans were lost, the Ministry of Finance also wanted to trouble Sima Yi.

You Sima Yi did not follow the central government's order to close the store and caused the loss to the Ministry of Finance. If you are not responsible for this part of the loss, who is responsible?

And now those who are unwilling to close the store may not thank him, but instead blame him-why didn't we force us to close it at that time?

If you are tougher, won't we follow?

At that time, Ta Sima Yi is not a human being inside and outside, and he will be offended everywhere, so what kind of central government will he serve as a high-ranking official?

When the economic crisis hits, big-ticket shops must go bankrupt, and there may be some troubles. Now I can't think of a way to reduce the scale, when will it be?

close!It must be closed!Shut it down even if you use coercive means!

Sima Yi felt that this must be done.

But if you do this, the text will not work, and you will obviously have to resort to force.

But if you resort to force...

Can the policemen in his hands alone work?

And what if something happened, and the criminal department came to invite you to drink tea, what should I do?

Sima Yi was worried.

The local armed forces of the Wei Empire were fully rectified by Guo Peng after the ten-year rebellion in Yande.

Ten years after Yande, the local armed forces are not part of the army, but called the police, which belong to the level of officials. In layman's terms, they belong to the administrative establishment, not the army establishment, and have nothing to do with the army.

If you want to say anything about it, there is.

For the time being, the Wei Empire has no financial allocation to build a school for police training. Generally, those retired soldiers who are not interested in village chiefs or military instructors can be transferred to serve as police officers.

This is a transitional policy. In the future, Guo Peng has plans to let Guo Jin set up a martial arts school for police training. However, the transitional policy is quite good for now, and the local police also have good force.

They are mainly responsible for the daily security management of the place.

Moreover, the reason why the county magistrate and the county magistrate can fight each other with the state governor and violate the state governor, in addition to the central check and balance, is mainly because the county magistrate can mobilize the county police, and the county magistrate can mobilize the county police, but the state governor has no state police to mobilize .

The state governor does not have the power to mobilize the state's police, whether in name or in reality, and there is no state-level police organization at all. There is no armed force to mobilize the state governor.

This power belongs only to the chief administrators at the two levels of county guards and county magistrates.

In the past, township and village chiefs worked with military instructors to lead the people's self-defense forces to maintain law and order and enforce the law.

With the police, the power of law enforcement is transferred to the police, and the villagers and self-defense forces of the villagers are only qualified to assist in management and have the function of sweeping up the mountains to sweep up bandits and beasts.

This is the power to overturn the table reserved by the county guards and county magistrates in order to do business, which is the reliance of the ultimate violent means. Without this reliance, many people would not take the local chief executive seriously.

Power must be relied on by coercive execution. Without a strong and violent enforcement agency, power will have no support.

It doesn't matter whether you are a man of iron or water, whether you have a high status or a lot of power in name, as long as you don't have the command power of a violent organization, to put it bluntly, you won't fart.

The governor of the state is like this.

But the county magistrate is different from the county magistrate. Although they are also constrained by the central government, they have the command power of a violent organization in their hands, so they can really do things.

Chapter 1547 One thousand four hundred and sixty seven anti-stress master Sima Yi

There is no clear hierarchical relationship between county police and county police.

The county police listen to the county magistrate, and the county police listen to the county magistrate, and the two sides do not belong to each other.

Nominally, the county police are only responsible for the security management and punishment of criminals in one county, while the county police can manage the whole county.

However, there is no superior-subordinate relationship between the two parties, no one can force the other, and there is no clear boundary for handling affairs.

The imperial court has no regulations, and the localities form their own rules. If the county police can't handle things, the county police will help, and the county police are usually not needed.

It seems to be very clear, but there are many problems and troubles in operation. The responsibilities of the two parties often overlap and conflict, so that no one accepts the other. Therefore, in terms of their own work, there are conflicts and frictions between the county police and the county police. Not small.

It is necessary to find a common superior for both parties, and that is the Central Criminal Department.

The names and registries of all the policemen in Wei State are affiliated with the Central Criminal Department, and the name, hometown, history and family information of each policeman are in the records of the Central Criminal Department.

The Central Criminal Department does not have the command of the police, which belongs to the county magistrate and county guard.

However, the power to reward the police for meritorious deeds and reprimand them is in the hands of the Police Department of the Criminal Ministry, and the salary is directly issued by the local branch of the Central Ministry of Finance.

Actions are governed by the Chief Executive, while promotion, rewards and punishments are presided over by the Police Department of the Criminal Ministry, and salaries are issued by the Central Ministry of Finance.

This is also the check and balance strategy that Guo made to prevent the armed forces of a county from obeying the orders of one person and forming a whole.

Even if the number of police officers in a county is not too many, hundreds of people are still needed, otherwise it is impossible to take on the heavy responsibility of law and order, so it is possible for a county to have two to three thousand registered police officers.

Generally speaking, the number of police officers in a county is arranged according to a certain proportion according to the local population.

Large counties with large populations will have more police officers, while small counties with small populations will have fewer police officers.

The number of county police is based on another ratio, which is arranged according to the population of the whole county. The larger the population, the more police officers there are, which is convenient for the county guard to handle affairs in a more complex environment.

Because they have a police team that obeys orders and have the ability to enforce things, the county guards and county magistrates still have some confidence in speaking locally.

Compared with the state governors who do not have any coercive power, the county guards and county magistrates are often much tougher. Many state governors are very loyal because they do not have the support of armed forces.

The Annan Protectorate's Mansion is a county-level administrative division of Erqianshi, and Sima Yi, the protector, is also equivalent to the county guard.

The entire Annan Protectorate's registered population is 78 people, divided into six counties, with an average of more than [-] people in each county and more than [-] households.

According to regulations, county-level governments can have one hundred police officers per 10 people, and the population is rounded to an integer.

There are [-] county policemen under Sima Yi to maintain his dignity, authority and personal safety.

County-level governments, on the other hand, are calculated based on the ratio of the population to 10 people, and there are [-] police officers for every [-] people. In a county with a population of [-], there are generally [-] police officers in charge of public security.

There is no distinction between county police and county police.

They are only different in their yamen, they are also under the jurisdiction of the Police Department of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, they also receive their salaries from the Ministry of Finance, obey the orders of the chief administrative officer of the government, and use coercive force to enforce the law when necessary.

As the minions of the county guards and county magistrates, they are important drivers for the county guards and county magistrates to speak loudly in the administrative department.

However, in many areas, because the management is in place, the country is initially determined, everyone with registered households has land and is farming the land, and there are no refugees and hooligans, so the local situation is relatively harmonious.

Generally speaking, there will be no criminals, and the number of times they need to use force to enforce the law is not much.

The police do not all serve the Chief Executive, they also have responsibilities.

According to the regulations, every [-] police officers is counted as a police force, with a sergeant, and every five police forces has a superintendent.

The duty of the police is to patrol law and order and catch common civil criminals.

In the early days of the Wei Empire, there were few criminals and the crime rate was low. Most of the police had no criminals to catch most of the time.

Therefore, they will not carry deadly weapons such as steel knives, bows and crossbows. They usually carry a standard wooden stick to show their presence and deterrent power, or they don't carry them at all to show their closeness.

The daily task of many police officers is to go to the streets to mediate neighborhood disputes and so on. In fact, they are similar to people-friendly officials.
