On the third day after Xu Mingxu left the capital, a thick memorial was placed on Uncle Zhang's imperial case.

Boss Zhang didn't want to deal with these desk jobs recently, so he handed over the work to Prince Tuantuan, and went to the military camp by himself to check military affairs.

The state apparatus has always talked with big fists.Although most of the civil servants look down on Wufu, they can't accuse Boss Zhang of not doing his job properly in such a situation.

On the contrary, it was the trust in the heir shown by Boss Zhang that made the civil official group very fond of it.After all, everyone hopes that if something happens, there will be a smooth transition between the two generations of emperors.Although Prince Tuantuan is still young, Boss Zhang looks energetic and can work for another few decades.

Prince Tuantuan carefully read the memorial three times, followed his father's example, and called several important ministers to the imperial study to discuss: "I wonder what your lords think about this public rental housing proposal?"

This matter was originally proposed by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, so naturally they would not object.The Ministry of War has almost always stood at the Ministry of Households unconditionally.

The Ministry of Rites expressed its support directly.Among the six ministries, they can be regarded as Qingshui Yamen.When there are more clean streams, there will naturally be more poor officials and poor officials.According to the memorial, a two-entry house with a good location can be rented for only [-] cash per month, which is simply cheap.

He also made a quick calculation in his mind.There are so many rooms in the two-entry house, it can completely accommodate two families.Let’s share it, but it’s only four hundred cash a month.Even ordinary officials can bear it, which is far better than living in a place almost close to the root of the city wall now.

The Ministry of Officials thought it was good: "Is it possible to arrange a house similar to a post house for officials who come to Beijing to report their duties?"

Every year, there are always a large number of officials pouring into the stalls where they go to Beijing to report on their work.When other officials come, it is impossible to come here alone, and the young master will bring one or two entourages.In this way, no matter how big the posthouse in the capital is, it cannot accommodate all these people.

Every year, there will be some small and big conflicts over who can live in the post house and who has to rent a house to find a house outside.

As one of the signers of the memorial, Tu Hao also participated in the meeting. After hearing this, he thought, isn't this the guest house?

The Ministry of Punishment has a problem: "If the public rental housing is arranged in this way, the population will be too densely populated, and additional manpower should be sent to patrol from time to time to prevent accidents." This accident is not only for people, but also for sanitation and fire protection.Just where does the manpower come from?

Tu Hao nodded silently, and the urban management walked up.

However, what people didn't expect was that after Xu Mingxu landed in Taiping County, they were still discussing the details repeatedly in the imperial study, and immediately started in full swing.

In terms of population status and all kinds of things, Taiping County cannot be compared with the capital city.But the problems that exist in the capital also exist in Taiping County.

For example, some officials could not afford to buy houses for various reasons, so they could only live in rented houses.

For example, every year after the spring plowing, a large number of farmers come to the city to look for work.Although some bosses will provide accommodation, there are still a large number of people who can only live in some places with very poor conditions.There are even some of them, just like beggars, directly build a shack in some corner at night.Not to mention the many problems that arise from this.

For another example, Taiping County, as a thoroughfare, has a lot of merchants traveling from south to north every year.Therefore, there are more inns and restaurants in Taiping County than in other places, but some places are no different from black shops, and the prices are ridiculously expensive.

Xu Mingxu was sorting out various problems in this area along the way, and when he arrived at the county government, he had revised and perfected the plan countless times.

When the county magistrate came back, the officials of the county government naturally wanted to go out to greet him, but they didn't expect Xu Mingxu to ask a series of questions before they could speak.

"How many vacancies are there in the county? Where are they located?"

"How many merchants come and go in the county every month? Where do they live?"

"How many migrant workers come to the county? Where do they live?"

"How many inns and restaurants are there in the county now? How to set the price?"

"How many beggars are there in the county today?"

Following Xu Mingxu's questions one after another, the officials searched out all the recorded content and showed him. Some of the data that had not been counted were counted immediately.

That is to say, Taiping County is small, and most of these problems are aimed at the county seat. It was already late when they went out, and it was not yet time for the government to close when they returned from investigation.

Feeling refreshed by the sudden busyness, they queued up to hand over the report to Xu Mingxu's desk: "Master Xu, take a look, do you have any other orders?"

Xu Mingxu was lowering his head to make statistics, and without raising his head when he heard the words, he said, "Come here first today. It's getting late, everyone has worked hard, go home early."

It is a good thing to be able to get off work early, but the officials feel a little uncomfortable.They were like this when the county magistrate was away a while ago.

When the magistrate was here before, they were all busy like dogs, and they were so tired that they wanted to be fed every day when they went home.But when the magistrate left and they were free, they suddenly felt that their lives had lost their direction?

Obviously they are doing the same things as usual, but they always feel that they are not motivated.Today's Taiping County looks exactly the same as yesterday's Taiping County.It's not like when Xu Mingxu was here, you can always see a little change every few days.Today a new shop opens here, tomorrow a tree or something is planted there.

Xu Mingxu noticed the strange silence in the wing room, raised his head and looked at the listless look of everyone with some incomprehension, and asked, "What's the matter?" Why are you not in a hurry to get off work and leave?

After he understood everyone's thoughts, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be something to do a lot soon. I almost forgot, I brought some local products from the capital, wait a moment, I asked Xiao Zhong to bring the things Bring it."

When the next day began to get busy, the officials quickly regretted what they said yesterday.What a big fight, this is a big fight to the point of squeezing everyone out!

The specific manifestation is that they used to be busy, and they still thought about eating when they went home; now they have been busy all day, and they lie down directly after returning home.

The results of such busy work are also gratifying.

Several vacant houses in the county will be renovated soon.

The house that has just been repaired cannot be moved in immediately, and it has to be dried for a while, but this does not prevent Xu Mingxu from going to inspect it.

The accompanying official introduced: "This bunk can accommodate ten people, and there are fifteen similar rooms. There are six-person rooms, triple rooms, and double rooms upstairs."

Xu Mingxu saw it at a glance, and found that this was not the Chase shop he thought.Each bed is about three feet wide and can only accommodate one person to sleep.Each bed is separated by a layer of wooden boards that almost touch the ceiling. The wooden boards are equipped with wooden hooks to hang some clothes and the like.The head of the bed is a little higher, about one palm wide, so it doesn't look too cramped.

"The style of the furniture is made by Jiangdan Woodenware." The clerk took off his shoes, stepped on the bed and walked over to show Xu Mingxu, "This bed can put some small things. The back can be opened, and you can put some luggage. Seeing Xu Mingxu nodding, he got out of bed, put on his shoes, and pulled a wooden board from the side, "This is the door, you can lock it. Although it can't completely guarantee safety, at least it's much better than ordinary bunks." .”

Xu Mingxu thinks this is very good, and the servants at home can also use it: "How much is the price, is it more expensive?"

The little official reported a number and said with a smile: "Not at all. There are ready-made ones in Jiangdan Woodware Shop. You can buy them and assemble them yourself, or find a master carpenter to come and assemble them. In such a room, two people spend half a day It can be finished. It is more convenient than asking a carpenter to come to your door. The price is similar."

Xu Mingxu thought that when he was in Anchang County, the furniture was indeed directly made by craftsmen.During those days of working, you have to take care of the food and drink.Let's not talk about the cost of it, the time it takes can't be done in just a few days.

In this way, it is indeed more convenient to buy ready-made ones directly.

Xu Mingxu went to look at several other styles of rooms, and nodded: "It's well thought out." Then he felt that something was wrong, and pointed to the next door, "Separate the yard?" He remembered that this place should be even bigger. Some.

Although I looked around just now, there are not many rooms occupied by shops and so on. They are distributed on two floors, but it is just two entrances to the house.It turned out that this was a big house with four and a half entrances.

The little official cupped his hands and said: "Yes. According to the adults' orders, this side is mainly used for general shops. The other side has been converted into a small courtyard, which can be rented to some family members or traveling businessmen."

Xu Mingxu walked around the county with the little official, and was very satisfied with his work: "At night, we should arrange a few people to patrol at night, and plant more grass and trees to repel insects. Pay attention to the use of fire, and set up caissons in the courtyard. If the place is flooded, something big will happen."

The little official didn't dare to be careless: "Yes, my lord."

After Xu Mingxu returned to the yamen, he explained: "There are sentry boxes in Fangshi, and two people are stationed in each sentry box in turn to be responsible for the safety of Fangshi. There are many people coming and going between the eastern and western cities, so we can add one more sentry box. Pay more attention to women, children, elder……"

Some officials asked: "In this case, there may not be enough yamen servants in the county. I don't know if these people are recruited from outside, or they are seconded from the army after discussing with the garrison? If they are recruited from outside, is there a standard? Where do these people's salaries come from? "

"External recruitment. There are standards. I will draw up a charter in a while, and we will discuss it." These people are no different than others. They need to work harder, be more alert, and have to be decent.It's not obvious at a glance.

He thought of Tu Hao's previous arithmetic examination, and felt that he could learn a thing or two from it.He can set a rough standard first, recruit some people, and conduct unified training; after the training, he will conduct an assessment. After passing the assessment, he can practice, and after the internship period is over, he can finally work.
