For the next half month, although he didn't like doing this kind of work, Yan Liqiang still stayed in the Supervisory Office, meeting with officials at all levels above the county level in the prefecture every day. At the same time, one appointment after another was issued from the Supervisory Office, which more or less brought some new changes to Qiyun County...
According to the official system of the Han Empire, the previous county magistrate's office was composed of four departments and two yamen. The so-called four departments were the Lifang, Hufang, Lifang, and Gongfang departments, while the two yamen referred to the Criminal Investigation Yamen and the Governor's Office.
The Lifang was equivalent to the organization and personnel department in Yan Liqiang's previous life. It was in charge of the promotion, transfer, appointment, attendance, mourning, and the origin, composition, and appointment of officials from the county who were serving outside the county.
The Hufang was equivalent to the purse of a county, and was mainly in charge of the county's civil affairs, finance, taxes, land, taxation, disaster relief and other matters.
The Lifang is equivalent to the departments of science, education, culture and health in the previous life. It is in charge of the county's education, schools, national martial arts examinations, etiquette, sacrifices, culture, festivals, etc. The Lifang also has a Jianfang, which is in charge of the county governor's office's letters and posts, and is responsible for dispatching umbrella bearers, fan bearers, sedan bearers, etc., and is responsible for the county governor's outings. At the same time, it is also responsible for issuing announcements and handling banquets for the county governor's office.
The Gongfang is equivalent to the city construction, water conservancy, transportation and other departments in the previous life. The Gongfang is mainly responsible for the construction of the whole county and the construction of water conservancy. The construction of government offices, city walls, warehouses, bridges, temples, casting of silver and equipment and other engineering projects are all undertaken by the Gongfang.
The Criminal Investigation Office is equivalent to judicial law enforcement agencies such as the public security, procuratorate and courts. The criminal department is mainly responsible for arresting bandits, accepting cases, solving criminal investigations, performing autopsies and filling out reports, recording court proceedings, drafting case documents, and managing prisons.
Needless to say, the Military Governor's Office was responsible for military affairs. It recruited soldiers and horses, trained young men, conducted military examinations, and sent soldiers to higher levels. It also managed post stations, military garrisons, bandit suppression, city defense, customs defense, and military affairs.
In the county magistrate's office, the chief officials of the four rooms, namely the Personnel Room, the Household Room, the Rites Room, and the Work Room, are called the Office Secretary, the chief official of the Criminal Arrest Office is called the Judge, and the chief official of the Governor's Office is naturally the Governor. Before Wang Jianbei came to Pingxi County, he took over the mess left by Ye Tiancheng. Because it involved the case of Ye Tiancheng, when Wang Jianbei came, almost half of the officials in Pingxi County, from the Governor to the county magistrates at all levels, were replaced. Wang Jianbei came to Pingxi County to take over the post of county magistrate with his trusted officials and his own team. When he left for his post this time, he also took away many of his trusted officials and officials who had been promoted in Pingxi County in the past two years.
By the time Yan Liqiang opened his office and established the Supervisory Office, none of the four rooms and two offices of the County Governor's Office were left, all vacant. There were only eight county magistrates left in the fourteen counties, six vacant, and only four battalion commanders left in the seven camps, three vacant. This was not because Wang Jianbei wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Yan Liqiang, but he knew that if he left his confidants behind, it would not be good for both him and Yan Liqiang. He left his confidants and capable people in Qiyun County, and he became a commander without troops. It would be even more difficult to start over in Wuwei County, and Yan Liqiang was not confident in reusing the people left behind, so he simply took them all away.
As for the officials that Wang Jianbei did not take away and stayed behind, many of them had experienced both Ye Tiancheng and Wang Jianbei as county magistrates. They were capable and diligent officials with usable abilities and not many bad reviews. Such officials would do the same thing no matter who they were under.
After truly gaining control of the power of supervision, the first thing Yan Liqiang did in the Supervisory Office was to build up the power structure of the Supervisory Office and appoint new officials so that the Supervisory Office could truly operate.
According to the rules of the Han Empire, the officials and power departments of the local supervisory offices actually had a great deal of independence and autonomy. There was no need to completely copy the system of the county governor's office or the provincial governor's office. All officials could be appointed by the supervisor alone. Yan Liqiang originally wanted to break up the four-room and two-yamen structure of the county governor's office and restructure a new system, but after considering various factors, especially the manpower he could use and the stability of the local area, Yan Liqiang finally chose a relatively safe method, retaining the four-room and two-yamen structure to the greatest extent, but only reappointed the chief officers of these institutions and adjusted some of their powers.
The first personnel appointment Yan Liqiang issued was to Qian Su, who was directly promoted by Yan Liqiang to be the Secretary of the Household Department of the Inspectorate, in charge of the purse of the Qiyun Inspectorate. As for the Manufacturing Bureau, Yan Liqiang and Qian Su also promoted a capable manager who had emerged to take care of it, so that nothing could go wrong.
The second personnel appointment issued by Yan Liqiang was given to Shi Changfeng. Shi Changfeng suddenly became the Secretary of the Rites Office of the Guardian's Office. Originally, the Pingxi County Martial Arts Museum was under the management of the Rites Office. Now, Shi Changfeng, who came from the Pingxi County Martial Arts Museum, suddenly became the Secretary of the Rites Office. His status was raised several levels at once. The original Pingxi County Martial Arts Museum, which is now the Qiyun County Martial Arts Museum, has become the agency under the jurisdiction of Shi Changfeng. Of course, because Yan Liqiang was short of staff, Shi Changfeng did not change his original position in the Kyudo Society while serving as the Secretary of the Rites Office of the Qiyun Guardian's Office.
Yan Liqiang's third personnel appointment was to appoint Lu Wenbin as the Director of the Workshop Office, which was beyond everyone's expectation. Lu Wenbin was originally just a steward of the Lu family. Now, he went from being a steward of the family to the Director of the Workshop Office of the Qiyun Guardian's Mansion. It was a step up, and I don't know how many people dropped their jaws.
Yan Liqiang's fourth personnel appointment was to appoint Chang Lu, also known as Fu Changde, as the county magistrate of Yingwei County and the person in charge of the border market of Yingwei County. He completely handed over the business of the border market to Fu Changde. After receiving the appointment from Yan Liqiang, Fu Changde took all the remaining people in Huijiaji and drove a long caravan, just like a great migration, and brought the entire Huijiaji, which was once the old subordinate of Qiyun Protectorate, to Yingwei County.
The biggest change in power and responsibility was in the Military Governor's Office. Its name had changed to the barracks under the Qiyun Protectorate. Yan Liqiang divided the former duties of the Military Governor's Office into two: recruiting soldiers and horses, training young men, taking military examinations, sending troops upwards, and duties like post stations and garrisons. All of these will be the responsibility of the barracks under the reformed Qiyun Protectorate. The command, leadership, mobilization, combat, bandit suppression, and city defense of the troops will all be separated from the Military Governor's Office and will be personally controlled by Yan Liqiang. All the soldiers and horses of the previous Pingxi County will be formed into an independent army and renamed the Longya Army. Yan Liqiang, in his capacity as the Protector General of Qiyun, appointed himself as the commander of the Longya Army.
The word "Dragon Fang" seems majestic and meaningful to others, but only Yan Liqiang knows where this word comes from. This word carries the deepest nostalgia in Yan Liqiang's memory - the most awesome special forces, the most awesome soldier king. Those were the days in his previous life when he read online novels carefree on the Internet. The most powerful violent agencies and the fiercest warriors in the novels were all from the Dragon generation. Dragon Fang, Dragon Group, just hearing the name can make the enemy tremble... Even when Yan Liqiang grew up, he always had a firm idea in his heart that Dragon Fang, Dragon Group and the like might really exist, but they were just unknown...
Of course, in addition to nostalgia, the name Longya is also Yan Liqiang’s reliance and hope!
In addition to these appointments, Yan Liqiang ordered that the other official posts and positions that had not yet found suitable people be temporarily assigned to the deputy positions or assistants in the various government offices. When the deputy positions and assistants got such an opportunity, they naturally seized the opportunity to show their abilities, and were trembling with fear, not daring to make the slightest mistake...
In addition to the appointment of these officials, a decree issued by the Qiyun Protectorate subsequently made the people of the entire county jubilant—Yan Liqiang abolished the head tax for the newly added Han population in the county and stipulated that the Shatu people in the county must pay the head tax...
