Chapter 517 Lowering Your Vigilance
Qin Si's wife, Su Jing, is skilled in martial arts and can help train a group of female guards. Well, Alice can also help with this matter.
After Lu Songli arranged the women in her husband's family, she thought about it and went to talk to her elder sister-in-law Tian.
Tian was also a little confused. She never thought that one day she would have to go out to work?
If my mother-in-law wants to manage the Charity Bureau, then she should stay at home and take charge of the household chores.
"Sister-in-law, several sisters-in-law from my in-laws' family have decided to accept the advice and go out to work. Each of them is responsible for a certain job. Are you sure you don't want to go out?"
Tian was silent for a while and said, "Go ahead." They all went out to work, so she would go too.
"Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Xue and have him arrange it for you."
"Mr. Xue?"
"Well, he's responsible for setting up and promoting the street management office and the neighborhood committee."
"Am I working with your sisters-in-law?"
"No, they each have different areas of responsibility. Sister-in-law, why don't you be a clerk?" Lu Songli explained, "Being a clerk is less stressful, doesn't involve responsibility, gives you more time, and allows you to take care of the family."
Lu Songli knew that she loved her two children, Lu Xiao and Lu Dan, very much. If she let go of them all of a sudden, she would be at a loss and the children would not be able to adapt.
It sounded good, Tian nodded, "Okay."
Happiness is created by comparison.
Lu Songli felt that her sister-in-law might be too idle, so she was prone to having wild thoughts. It was necessary for her to go out more and see the world and experience the sufferings of the world.
After all, happy people are mostly alike, but unhappy people each have their own misfortunes.
The more you see, the broader your horizons will be and the more open your heart will be.
The next day, three red notices were posted on the white wall next to the governor's mansion again.
The first one reads "Liaodong Academy will add agricultural colleges, engineering colleges, medical colleges and military colleges and related admission requirements."
The second one is a notice that a special department - the Women's Federation, as well as two grassroots departments - the street management office and the township government office will be added to the Pingzhou and Youzhou areas.
Subsequently, a Salesian Bureau, a health center, and schools will be established.
The third one is a public notice of Jiang, Qin's mother, Cai Xue and others performing their duties.
Once these three red lists were posted, especially the contents of the first two, they had a profound impact on the people of Pingzhou and Youzhou, but few people could see it at that time.
Many middle and upper class people just think that Lu Songli is like a new official who is ready to make a lot of trouble.
These people's reaction to the first two red lists was not as strong as the third one.
The news that the women from the Qin and Lu families walked out of the inner house and were about to take up public office sparked a lot of discussion.
Many people were muttering, "Can women become officials these days?" But they didn't dare to speak out loud, because the current ruler of Pingzhou was a woman.
The main ones were the Charity Bureau and the Women's Federation, which seemed to have little power and little money. They just grumbled and didn't raise any strong opposition. Of course, even if someone objected, Lu Songli would ignore them.
Now, many people think that the positions held by the women of the Qin and Lu families are not important, and they don’t want to offend Lu Songli for this matter, so the matter was resolved peacefully.
This is where Lu Songli's brilliance lies. Sometimes, if it is not necessary, there is no need to make drastic reforms.
As the momentum grows, resistance will also come.
Starting from the details, the effect will be subtle and silent, and may have unexpected results.
As Lu Songli issued the official document with the seal of the Pingzhou governor, Pingzhou from top to bottom began to move.
First of all, personnel were drawn from various prefectures and departments to assist the new policy in establishing two grassroots organizations: street management offices and township government offices.
Lu Wei received a transfer order, asking him to take charge of the construction and promotion of the township government and village committees.
He read the official document in detail. The document stipulated the size of the village. The maximum size of a village could not exceed 2,000 people. Villages with less than 300 people needed to merge with nearby villages. This was all for the sake of ease of management.
Then each village had a village chief, a production team leader, a militia leader, an accountant, and a women's secretary.
The official document also made relevant provisions on the duties of these people.
At the same time, Xue Xu was responsible for the establishment and promotion of the street management office and neighborhood committee.
The sub-district management office is approved by the county government and is responsible for managing the neighborhood committees within its jurisdiction. The sub-district management office and the neighborhood committee are in a hierarchical relationship.
Members of the subdistrict management office are recruited locally and are required to undergo relevant assessments, while members of the neighborhood committee are composed of representatives from within the jurisdiction.
The street management office is a good starting point. Xue Xu arranged for several clansmen who he thought had performed well to go in.
Although Pingzhou did not give large rewards to its officials during the rebellion, it is a fact that the Li people made great contributions in this incident. Lu Songli handed over the task of setting up the street management office to Xue Xu, which may have been intended as a reward for them.
In the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, managers such as Ding Jun and Zhou Yi were also transferred.
Those who knew them congratulated them.
People were transferred from breeding workshops, planting workshops, garment workshops, etc.
With this two-pronged approach, Lu Songli hopes that both parties will complete the establishment of the two grassroots organizations, the street management office and the township government office, as soon as possible.
Pingzhou officials have always been highly efficient, and Xue Xu is also decisive in his work. As soon as all the staff arrived, he started his work.
Tianshui New Village
A group of people gathered in front of the comprehensive ancestral hall, with smiles on everyone's faces.
These people were all those who had applied for positions at the Subdistrict Administration and had passed the assessment. There were a total of twenty of them. These people were not only from Tianshui New Village, but also from nearby villages, and they were all gathered here.
The most important thing is that among these twenty people, there are two girls.
At that time, the street management office came to recruit, and it was stated that applicants were welcome regardless of gender or age. With the attitude of giving it a try, they went, and they didn't expect that they would actually get the job.
There were many people watching enviously nearby.
The mother of a child pointed at one of the girls and said to the children next to her, "Did you see that? Study hard and become like your sister Yang in the future—"
Yang Panpan, who was standing next to them, heard it and smiled at them.
They are leaving today to attend on-the-job training.
Yang Wei's wife, Mi, shut up when she saw this and didn't say anything more about her sister-in-law.
Not long after, a carriage came to pick up Yang Panpan and her group.
Meng Yu looked at them enviously, and then his ears were twisted by his mother.
"I told you not to study hard! You got rejected for the job application, right? You're truly bringing shame to our Meng family!"
"The Meng family is not a wealthy family." Meng Yu muttered. He felt regretful in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have worked harder.
Seeing that her son refused to repent, Mrs. Qiao exerted force on her hand and said, "The reputation of our Meng family is not important, but what do you say about bringing shame to your brother-in-law?"
"Mom, please stop pulling my ears. They're going to break." Meng Yu begged for mercy.
Seeing her son grimacing in pain, Mrs. Qiao let go of his hand.
After Mi sent her sister-in-law and her group away, she saw her neighbor Qiao scolding her good-for-nothing son.
When we first came to Houcheng and were settled in Tianshui New Village, there were many bachelors, but in the past two years, many of them have already started families here.
Mrs. Qiao was considered lucky. As a widow raising a pair of children, her life was already difficult. Later, her daughter married Ding Guishan, and she and her son moved to Tianshui New Village.
Mi walked forward and said with a smile, "Auntie Qiao, please stop scolding Meng Yu. If it doesn't work this time, just try harder next time. Besides, there's more than one path for a boy to take."
Mrs. Qiao just felt it was a pity, and in response to Mrs. Mi's comfort, she could only smile.
Mi's words made Meng Yu's eyes light up, "Yes, mother, at worst I can join the army when I'm old enough!" There is more than one way out anyway.
Joining the army? Qiao thought of her son-in-law Ding Guishan, who was already a centurion, and thought it was a good idea. After all, he would have his brother-in-law to look after him.
"Let's see."
