It is not easy to be a county magistrate, and it is even more difficult to be a county magistrate.

In the Republic of China, county magistrates changed very frequently. Taking Henan as an example, 1931 county magistrates were replaced in 226 alone, which means that the term of office of county magistrates was generally less than one year.

In the environment of the Republic of China, if you want to secure the throne of the county magistrate, you must not only please the provincial officials, but also have to curry favor with the local gentry, and you have to serve the garrison.

Since the county magistrate is so difficult to do, let's fire him and leave.

But even if he wanted to leave, just handing over one item would not make it easier for the county magistrate.

When the new county magistrate took office, he had to bring the portrait of the prime minister and the party flag with him, and when he was dismissed, he had to fully account for the financial revenue and expenditure.

In this way, once the county magistrate is replaced and handed over, the county's land taxes, accumulated grain, city walls, government offices, Confucian temples, public property, etc. must be checked once.

Therefore, the cumbersome handover procedures usually take months or even years, and the county magistrate must bear all the expenses during this period.

During the period of the Republic of China, the county magistrate changed frequently. Under such circumstances, the handover became a huge additional expense for the county magistrate, even far beyond the scope of the county magistrate.

For example, there is a county magistrate in Jiangxi who has been in office for less than two years, and his salary is only 4000 yuan, but the transfer fee is as high as 2000 yuan.It can be seen how difficult it is to be a county magistrate in the Republic of China!

It's just that these problems don't exist for Yang Fan at all. What Yang Fan needs to do now is to find the correct way to open it, and then develop smoothly and quickly!

Yang Fan was planning alone in the office for more than an hour, when a system prompt sounded in his ear:

"Ding, congratulations to the host's prestige level, which has reached a small reputation, and the system level has been improved, hereby rewarding 1000 wealth points, and unlocking the door-to-door delivery function!

The host can specify any delivery address, delivery time and delivery method, and the system will deliver the goods directly to the door according to the instructions! "

"What? After a while, the prestige value of kung fu rose gradually, and it became a little famous! Haha, it seems that these three gangster heads really started to play a role!"

Yang Fan snapped his fingers happily. In this era of war and chaos, one must be quick, precise and ruthless, and must not have the slightest bit of womanly kindness, otherwise one will not be able to stand firm if he is not ruthless!

The 1000 wealth points obtained from this upgrade can only be regarded as a small fortune for Yang Fan, but the door-to-door delivery function is very useful!

In this way, Yang Fan can receive all kinds of materials in a legitimate way. Although there are still some inexplicable things in this way, it is much more rounded than making it out of thin air!

"Hey, since that's the case, I'll go buy a batch of supplies to solve the communication and transportation problems first!"

Now that there is no way to buy cars and electric vehicles, Yang Fan can only buy a batch of bicycles as government official vehicles and his own means of transportation.

Chapter 20

In this era, it can really be described as transportation relying on walking and communication relying on roaring. The two most basic tools, bicycles and telephones, are a luxury for most people!

In Gaomi County, only the post office communicates with the county government by phone, and each long-distance call has to go through layers of transfers. Not only do you have to pay expensive call charges, but the process is very time-consuming and extremely inconvenient!

In the 20s, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Tianjin were major commercial centers at that time, with relatively well-developed communications, and many installed telephones. The main service targets were government agencies, commercial affairs agencies, and some big businessmen.

For example, if you install a private telephone in Guangzhou, you must first pay the telephone management office an installation fee of 350 yuan, and the monthly rent for the telephone fee is 6 yuan.

In Guangzhou, operating services such as telephone booths are charged every 5 minutes, and calls of less than 5 minutes are also calculated as 5 minutes, and each charge is 0.6 yuan.

If it is a domestic long-distance call, the maximum charge for each call can be up to 5.5 yuan, and the average charge is more than one yuan per minute.

According to the current Guangzhou silver dollar purchasing power balance: one yuan ocean is equivalent to about 50--100 yuan today!

After careful calculation, the monthly income of ordinary citizens in Guangzhou is not enough to make an hour of phone calls.

In this day and age, a proper phone is the standard equipment for local tyrants.Only the rich and the very rich can afford it, and ordinary people can really break their fortunes by making a phone call!

Yang Fan immediately called up the system panel with a thought, and first spent 1200 wealth points to purchase a batch of Siemens step-by-step telephone switches and related accessories!

In 1889, the American AB Sternjo invented the three-magnet rising rotary selector, the key component of the step-by-step telephone switchboard.And in 1892, it was the first stepping telephone exchange to be put into use.

A stepping telephone exchange is an automatic telephone exchange consisting of selectors and relays.It replaces the wiring action of the operator of the manual telephone exchange with mechanical actions.

When the user dials, the corresponding selector in the switch will change the connection position step by step with the pulse current sent out during dialing, and automatically connect the telephone line between the calling and called users.

In 1909, Siemens Company of Germany improved the step-by-step telephone switchboard of Stranger, and then the British added a command plane, which gave it the advantage of indirect control.

The disadvantages of step-by-step telephone exchanges are also very obvious, such as slow connection speed, easy wear and tear of parts, loud noise, inflexible number arrangement, and low utilization of line groups, making it difficult to form an economical, safe and flexible telephone network!

However, the step-by-step telephone exchange is still considered the most advanced fixed-line telephone in the current era. Yang Fan can only choose to use it first, and he can't directly create a vertical-horizontal telephone exchange that has been advanced for more than ten years, right?

Immediately afterwards, Yang Fan spent another 1000 wealth points to purchase 50 28-bar trucks as official vehicles for the county government!

There is no way that the car is too expensive, and gasoline is in short supply. Even if you buy it from the system store, the price is not cheap. Yang Fan doesn't have enough money to afford it!

Besides, the 28-bar trucks of this era are completely comparable to the BMW luxury cars in the modern society.

Yang Fan then spent 1040 wealth points to buy 5 tons of refined rice, 2 tons of salt, and 2 tons of cooking oil, which he planned to use to distribute benefits to government servants to win people's hearts!

80块机械腕表、30个挂钟、300只钢笔、80个计算器、50箱墨水、50箱复印纸、100个公事包、100箱笔记本、100个订书机!

Shopping is really addictive, Yang Fan unknowingly turned on the shopping mode, browsed around office supplies, and spent another 2400 wealth points in one go!

In less than half an hour, Yang Fan spent a total of 5640 wealth points, which is at least 40 in RMB!

Fortunately, primary commodities such as system shopping malls are high in quality and cheap, and it is very cost-effective to buy them with wealth points, which is several times more cost-effective than buying them with cash!

After buying these "office supplies", Yang Fan also bought three 26-inch bicycles and a 24-inch baby carriage for his family, as well as several quartz and digital watches, binoculars, black and white cameras, chocolates, wine and other items!

As for the delivery method, Yang Fan designated office supplies to be delivered directly to the county government in 1 hour, and his own products to be delivered to his home in 2 hours!

Boom boom boom!

"County magistrate, the meeting time is almost here!"

As soon as Yang Fan exited the system interface to draw up a distribution plan, Liu Chengchang knocked on the door!

Yang Fan responded immediately: "Xiao Liu, come in and talk!"

Liu Chengchang hurriedly opened the door and walked in, and asked with a smile, "County magistrate, do you have any orders?"

Yang Fan smiled and said, "You did a good job on today's errand, how did the folks react when they saw it?"

"Thank you for the compliment from the county magistrate, this is my duty!"

Liu Chengchang said modestly, and then smiled in a good mood: "Of course it's a joyful celebration! Haha, the county magistrate, you haven't seen that scene. The villagers all applaud you, and everyone praises you as Yang Qingtian, on behalf of the people of Gaomi. Except for one great disaster! . . . "

"Okay, don't add oil and vinegar!"

Yang Fan interrupted Liu Chengchang's narration with a smile, and then handed over the shopping list and distribution plan:

"It is said that if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. I purchased a batch of materials from Shanghai before, and it should arrive in our county this morning! Take a look first, and then do a good job in the distribution and storage of materials!"

"Ah? Okay, okay!"

Liu Chengchang was surprised and stunned, then quickly took the list and glanced at it, and suddenly he was in a bad mood!

“什么?50部西门子步进制电话交换机、50辆自行车、5吨精制大米、2吨食盐、2吨食用油、80块机械腕表、30个挂钟、300只钢笔……”

“县政府所有机关人员每人可领取50斤大米,10斤盐、10斤油、1只钢笔、1瓶墨水、1盒复印纸、1个笔记本!”

"Each department head can receive 1 watch, 1 briefcase, and 1 bicycle!"

"Each department unit receives 1 bicycle, 1 wall clock, and 1 stapler!"

"My God, is this all true? How much does this cost?"

Liu Chengchang's eyes were straightened, not only because he could receive a wave of unimaginable super benefits, but also because he was completely shocked by this generosity!

Just a rough calculation, the total value of this batch of materials alone is at least tens of thousands of oceans, which is simply an astronomical figure!

Throughout the ages, "being an official for thousands of miles is only for money". Which official didn't want to come back empty-handed and return with a full load. The county magistrate of his own family did the opposite. He threw out tens of thousands of oceans to distribute benefits within a few days of taking office!

Liu Chengchang's brains are really not enough, what is the origin of his own county magistrate, this attitude of spending money like water is really scary!

"Haha, can such a small matter still scare you? Hurry up and stop being dazed. While there is still some time, you should come up with a charter for the distribution and storage of supplies as soon as possible! Don't be too confused then!"

Yang Fan raised his eyebrows proudly. It feels good to throw money at people. Although it costs a lot, the effect is absolutely superb. It is very useful for him to improve his prestige and start his work quickly!

Chapter 21 Envy, Jealousy, Hate

"what?"

With a word that awakened the dreamer, Liu Chengchang finally came back to his senses, scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "County magistrate, I'm really sorry, I lost my composure just now!"

Yang Fan smiled and said: "It's okay, you will get used to it slowly, there will be many surprises like this in the future!"

"Haha! The more surprises, the better. Following the county magistrate is different. Now I am full of drive and strength!"

Liu Chengchang hurriedly apologized, and then said excitedly: "County magistrate, with this material, the morale of our colleagues in the county will definitely increase, and the work efficiency will definitely increase several times!"

Yang Fan nodded and said: "This is what I want! The establishment of the telephone network is left to Chen Qing. In principle, all departments of the county government and the heads of all departments must have telephone calls at home!

In principle, the distribution of living supplies and office supplies is done according to what I said, and you can make some adjustments in some details. For example, the remaining supplies can be used to reward colleagues who perform well or have very difficult families!

In addition, do a good job in the storage and registration of consumables, so that you can spend in the office normally, but you must not waste or corrupt, otherwise you will be severely punished! ..."

Liu Chengchang quickly recorded the key points Yang Fan said in his notebook, and then nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, the county magistrate, I will definitely do a good job according to your instructions!"

"Well, it's getting late, let's go to the meeting first so we can't keep everyone waiting!"

After explaining the matter, Yang Fan immediately stood up, picked up a water glass and several documents, and said, "How is the attendance of the participants today?"

"County magistrate, let me get you a teacup!"

Liu Chengchang hurriedly reached out to pick up the teacup for Yang Fan, and then said with a cheerful smile: "County magistrate, there should be 65 people in today's meeting, and there are currently 65 people, and the attendance rate is 100%! Hehe, that means everyone is here. Just wait for the county magistrate to preside over the meeting!"

"Oh, not bad! You are doing things very efficiently!"

Now that the traffic and communication are very inconvenient, it is really not easy to notify all the civil servants to be in place within two hours and enter the venue on time!

Soon, Yang Fan followed Liu Chengchang into the county hall!

The crowded hall quickly quieted down, and everyone turned their attention to Yang Fan, their eyes full of emotions such as curiosity and admiration.

Obviously, the news that Yang Fan wiped out the bandits with colorful necks and cut off their heads to show the public has spread. Everyone is very curious about Yang Fan and wants to know what happened in it!

"Boom, boom, boom," Yang Fan didn't panic at all. He faced everyone's eyes with a calm smile, walked to the rostrum step by step, and after carefully scanning the audience, he said loudly:

"Today is the first plenary meeting since I took office as the county magistrate. I am very happy that everyone can be present, which shows that our civil servant team in Gaomi County is a disciplined and effective team!

As the saying goes, "One heart and one mind can go further." I have every reason to believe that we will become like-minded comrades-in-arms in our life and work in the future!

Everyone should know that I was a soldier with a gun before I became the county magistrate. I always like to do things neatly, and I never like to play around and play around!

There are three main purposes of my meeting today. One is to announce several personnel appointments, the other is to tell you about the reform of the county government organization, and the third is to arrange the county government's recent work priorities!

Then, let's move on to the first topic! "

After a few simple opening remarks, Yang Fan took out the four newly signed letters of appointment and began to read: "Appoint Liu Chengchang to be promoted to the secretary general of the county government, in charge of the county secretary's office and the accounting office!

Liu Chengchang is now invited to come to the stage to receive the letter of appointment and accept the official appointment! "

"Ah? How did this happen! Isn't this too sudden?"

"Wow, this kid is really lucky! He became the most popular person in the county magistrate from a young clerk all of a sudden, so in Gaomi County, it will be windy and rainy?"

"Yeah, if only I met County Magistrate Yang and got knocked out by bandits that day!"

"Isn't Magistrate Yang too sloppy in employing people? Liu Chengchang is just a small employee. Does he have the ability to be qualified for such an important position?"

"Hey, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, fortunately we had a good relationship with him before, otherwise something bad will happen!"

As soon as Yang Fan's words fell, the whole venue exploded. Everyone's eyes were full of complex emotions, and many people couldn't help whispering.

Today, Yang Fan's sudden comeback in good condition, the public display of the head of the colorful neck, and the appointment of personnel at the plenary meeting made everyone overwhelmed, and it was difficult to digest and accept for a while!

Especially yesterday, who was just an extremely inconspicuous grassroots clerk, suddenly became a hot celebrity, making those colleagues who think highly of themselves very envious and jealous!

"County magistrate, here I come!"

Liu Chengchang was full of excitement, and walked quickly to the rostrum. Although he knew about this appointment a long time ago, it has a completely different meaning at this moment!

"Good job!"

Yang Fan stood up and handed the letter of appointment to Liu Chengchang with both hands, his eyes full of affirmation!

"Please don't worry, the county magistrate, I will definitely do my best to die, and I will never disappoint the county magistrate's high expectations and cultivation!"

Liu Chengchang nodded with firm eyes, took the letter of appointment with both hands, and bowed respectfully to Yang Fan. So far, he has become the Secretary General of Gaomi County Government!

"Clap clap clap!"

At this time, there was a burst of sparse applause in the venue. Most people will not be able to adapt to this change for a while, but at this time they can only applaud against their will!

"Ha ha!"

Of course, Yang Fan knew this very well, and he would certainly be gossiped and treated coldly when he promoted Liu Chengchang, but he had absolute personnel rights on this three-acre land, so he didn't need to consider other people's opinions at all!

What's more, there is nothing to say about Liu Chengchang's ability and character, he just lacks a stage to display his talent!

"Appoint Miao Dadong, the deputy director of the Gaomi County Police Department and concurrently the head of the Public Security Brigade, in charge of the daily affairs of the police station and the management of public security in Gaomi County!"
