My father is Jiajing

Chapter 372 Hu Zongxian has great talent
After chatting about these important matters with Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Zaigui did not keep any food for them, because Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were much busier now than when they were the idle Hanlin scholars.

Therefore, in order not to disturb them from continuing to contribute to the Beijing Special District, Zhu Zaigui naturally would not interfere with them.

Therefore, even though it was almost time for dinner, Zhu Zaigui still asked Meng Chong to escort Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng out of the house in a friendly manner.

Moreover, under Zhu Zaigui's guidance and after several days of preparation, Hu Zongxian finally submitted a memorial requesting the establishment of a patrol police system at the suggestion of Zhang Juzheng.

After reading this memorial, the cabinet had no expression on their faces, because before this, the Beijing Special District had also submitted a similar memorial.

At that time, the cabinet did not make a decision, but instead sent a draft that seemed to be correct to the Imperial Household Department and handed it over to the Emperor for decision.

As a result, within less than a day, Emperor Jiajing had already issued a clear reply: "Everything should be based on the needs of the Special Administrative Region."

Just these few simple words gave the green light to all regulations and construction in the Beijing Special Administrative Region.

Therefore, even though the cabinet was somewhat hesitant and wavering, they still replied to the Special District Yamen in accordance with the wishes of Emperor Jiajing, allowing the Special District Yamen to re-establish a new public security management organization according to its own needs.

But unexpectedly, just a few days later, Hu Zongxian also took advantage of the situation and submitted a similar memorial, and the content was also well-reasoned.

The general idea is to cooperate with the needs of the special district government in developing the Beijing Special District, and to ensure that when the next fifty years come, the inner city of the capital and the outer city of the special district will not cause much civil unrest due to differences in management models.

Therefore, we also request the establishment of a patrol system similar to that in the Beijing Special District.

The cabinet looked at Hu Zongxian's memorial and thought that it was no different if they were just one sheep being driven, or a flock of sheep being driven, so they agreed to Hu Zongxian's request.

However, the cabinet's consent was also discounted. For example, the cabinet did not abolish the powers of the Five Cities Military Commander and the City Patrol Censor.

Therefore, the final opinion was to let Hu Zongxian implement a dual-track management system.

When Hu Zongxian looked at the cabinet's reply, he couldn't help but feel angry. It was obvious that Shuntian Prefecture was the biological son of the Ming Dynasty, but how come it became a wild child at the critical moment?

Looking at the rapid changes in the Beijing Special District over the past year, others may not have thought much about it, but Hu Zongxian felt that this was a slap in the face of Shuntian Prefecture.

If Shuntian Prefecture cannot catch up and compete with the Beijing Special District in internal strength, then it is hard to say whether Shuntian Prefecture can hold the silver seal firmly in the future.

Who knows, after another ten or eight years, whether it is the imperial court or the people, the only thing they know about the capital will be the Beijing Special District, and the Shuntian Prefecture Government will no longer exist.

By then, the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen might really become a decoration, and it would almost be a luxury for any official to want to go directly to the six central ministries through the Shuntian Prefecture's ladder.

Therefore, whether for his own consideration or for the future of Shuntian Prefecture, Hu Zongxian must find a way to change this matter.

Therefore, under Hu Zongxian's operation, Hu Zongxian found the Five Military Governor's Office, the main unit of the Wucheng Bingmasi, and the Censorate, the superior unit of the Patrolling Censors who were responsible for supervising the capital.

The three parties held a small meeting and distributed the benefits. Shuntian Prefecture agreed to take over the salaries of all the people in the Wucheng Bingmasi and reorganize the Wucheng Bingmasi according to the patrol system of the Special Zone Yamen.

When the Five Military Commanders' Office heard about this good thing, they agreed without even thinking about it. After all, it was very tiring for the Five Military Commanders' Office to support these hereditary soldiers who did nothing all day long.

Since Hu Zongxian has the determination to do things, then let him do it and give him the Wucheng Bingmasi with a new look. If he does a good job in the future, it will be the credit of the Wujun Dudufu. If he does not do a good job, then it will be all the fault of Shuntianfu. Therefore, the communication with the Wujun Dudufu is extremely smooth.

Next, Hu Zongxian discussed management issues with the Censorate. Hu Zongxian said that he could give all supervisory powers of the capital's new patrol police to the city patrol censors, allowing the city patrol censors to continue to perform their duties of supervising the management of the capital.

At the same time, Shuntian Prefecture will also give the City Patrol Censor the salary subsidy of the Chief Police Inspector set up in the Beijing Special District, so that the City Patrol Censor can be taken care of both in terms of face and money.

When the Censorate heard Hu Zongxian's suggestion, they also knew that the imperial censors in the capital did not have much benefits, and there were many powerful people in the capital.

Even if they had nothing to do every day and wrote memorials to expose these evil officials, the court would still turn a blind eye and pretend not to see anything.

Therefore, the work of the imperial censors in the capital was not as enjoyable as that of the imperial envoys like Hu Zongxian who held the title of censor and inspected the local areas.

Therefore, for the sake of practical interests and to make the title of City Inspector worthy of its name, the Censorate naturally accepted Hu Zongxian's suggestion.

After all, no matter what, Hu Zongxian is a high-ranking official from their Censorate system, so it is only right that they give him some face.

Moreover, the people in the Censorate still haven't figured out whether Hu Zongxian has any connections with Xu Jie, otherwise how could he be recommended by Lord Xu to become the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture?
Moreover, Xu Jie is still the spiritual leader of their group of clean officials. Therefore, in order to be conservative, they should give Hu Zongxian some face first and make things easier for everyone.

So after all these twists and turns, Hu Zongxian finally got his wish and established a new patrol police system exclusively for Shuntian Prefecture in the inner city of the capital.

Those masters of the Five Military Governor's Office who usually only knew how to live a life of luxury and were unable to control the hereditary soldiers of the Five Cities Army and Horses. But when they came into Hu Zongxian's hands, it was completely a different story.

Hu Zongxian was a man of great talent as a commander. To use the elegant words of the ancients, he was a Confucian general.

Therefore, when he dealt with those old foxes from the Five Cities Army who thought they could rest easy with their hereditary title and who did not take their superiors seriously, he was ruthless.

The devilish training starts right away. If you can hold on, you can stay. If you can’t, leave.

As for their intention to file a complaint against Hu Zongxian for abusing them, let them go ahead and see if the current Five Military Commandery will still care about them.

Therefore, under this governance, although it cannot be said that the original Five Cities Army and Horses were trained to the point where everyone was obedient, at least in terms of execution and obedience, they have made great improvements.

As long as we continue to deal with these people according to the standards of the Beijing Special District without any slackness, will we still be afraid that we can't control these hereditary scoundrels?

Seeing the changes in the inner city of the capital, the court was very optimistic about Hu Zongxian's combination of punches. After learning about these things, Emperor Jiajing also praised: "Hu Zongxian has great talent!"

Asking for a monthly ticket. . .

I had a high fever yesterday that nearly killed me, but I feel much better this morning, so I'm taking advantage of having nothing to do in the morning to post today's update.

There may be no update in the evening...

After all, we have to recuperate!
