Wang Sheng refused to comment and said, "Give me the list of officials of our government. If anyone who has not come today, cross it out directly on the list."

At this time, Lu Xiangming didn't dare to say anything more. He honestly took the list of people who would be today and the future, and then picked up the pen and drew a line on the side to indicate it. But he vaguely felt that today's affairs might not have been finished yet. The new prefect must have had other actions.

Just as Lu Xiangming was drawing the list, Wang Sheng said again: "We are probably aware of our origin. We were not originally from the court, so our rules are very different from those in the court before. We are all working in Jinan Prefecture for many years, and we also know some of the rules in the court before. We use our power to bully people, corruption, robbing, and plundering. You probably have done a lot of things before, and the situation in various parts of the Qing Dynasty is similar, but for us, these things are absolutely not allowed."

Everyone was listening quietly to Wang Sheng's words. Although they all pretended to be respectful on the surface, their thoughts were different. Wang Sheng directly removed the officials of the future today, which did cause a significant impact on everyone. Some people have understood that the overseas Chinese may be bad. But some people disagree, thinking that although Wang Sheng is speaking loudly now, they will know when they really implement the government. How powerful are the people who were removed from the list? If they can't do anything at that time, just wait and see the jokes of overseas Chinese. Some people think that the salary given by the court is only a little bit, and it would be good to pay half of it a year. If you are not allowed to eat and get the robbery, would you ask us to drink the northwest wind?

Wang Sheng said again: "We also know how much salary the imperial court gave you in the past. To be honest, it is not high, and it cannot be paid for it. It is not enough to support your family. Therefore, you used to ask for money and plunder the people. There are also things that cannot be left alone. We can understand this. Working under our hands will definitely guarantee that your salary will be higher than before. We will never treat you badly, but we cannot compare with the money you have plundered. However, we can ignore what you did before. But from today on, we took over Shandong, and all the previous rules will have to be changed. We must follow our rules. At that time, we will naturally teach you what rules we have. In addition, we are willing to work under our hands, and you can stay. If you don't want to do it, you can resign. But if you stay, it is a slander. One thing in person is behind the scenes. Don't blame us for being rude."

It turns out that before Wang Sheng took office, there were two opinions in the East China government. One was that the East China government lacked the experience of governing big cities like Jinan. After all, in the past, the places where the East China government took over were all small cities such as county towns, and Tianjin and Beijing were all attacked by force. The original administrative organizations in the city had been destroyed, so they could conduct military control for a period of time to gain time for the time travelers to re-establish their own administrative organizations; Qingdao and Weihai were basically in this model; while Jiaozhou, Gaomi and Jimo counties first controlled the surrounding rural areas and then took over the county town. Moreover, the size of the county town was not large, so it was not difficult to re-establish their own administrative organizations; only Jinan was the first big city taken over by the East China government through peaceful transfer. Not only was the city large, but the original administrative organizations in the city were still established and operated well. It was easy to cause chaos.

The original officials in Jinan were familiar with the local situation and previous operating models, and had certain administrative management experience. If you let it go and start a new business completely, it would be too wasteful. It would be better to include them in your own administrative management system. This will not only save manpower, but also help to re-establish your own administrative organization to make a smooth transition.

Another opinion is that the Qing court's official system has been corrupted from its roots. Almost all of these officials are experts in exploiting the people, and their methods are hidden, with clever names and various ways, and they are mixed with each other, forming a huge network of relationships. Among them, many of them are notorious in Jinan Prefecture and have extremely high public resentment. Once they are included in their own administrative management system, it will not only easily cause the people to have no difference between the East China government and the Qing court, but it is also easy to be overshadowed by these people and continue to control the grassroots level. At that time, they continue to plunder and exploit the people, but the East China government will pay the bill. Therefore, it is better to completely clean up this group of officials. At most, they will not cost much money to support them. They must start a new foundation and re-establish their own administrative management system. Although it will cause some chaos in a short period of time, it can reduce many troubles.

The two factions held their own opinions and argued. In the end, the Executive Yuan decided to discuss the principle that the grassroots officials of the Qing court were retained, and the few officials who were notorious and had high public resentment were not ruthless and immediately eliminated. On the one hand, they killed the chicken, Hai and Monkey and shocked the other officials; on the other hand, they made the people feel that the East China government was different from the Qing court. On the other side, they did not blame other officials and adopted the principle of voluntary action. If they were willing to work under the system of the East China government, they would need to go through training and education before they could officially take up their posts, but they could only start from the grassroots level. However, the salary standards were the same as those of other followers working in the East China government, and they also had the opportunity to be promoted. Those who were unwilling to do it in the new government did not force them to retain their original official positions in the famous discussion, but they did not have the privileges. The salary was paid by the East China government, but the standards of the Qing court were implemented and there was no chance to make extra money.

At this time, Lu Xiangmingji finished drawing up the list of future personnel and handed over the list to Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng opened the list and looked at it, and then said: "Li Shan, Wei Jiao, Yao Huowu, and Qin Youqi obeyed the order."

The four people named by Wang Sheng were all heads of the prison in charge of the prison. They usually do the work of detention and arrest. When they heard Wang Sheng clicked his own list, they hurriedly stepped out and bowed, saying, "The villain is here."

Wang Shengdao: "You four lead the officers to arrest Cai Yi, Yang Huaiyuan, Feng Siping and Liu Jinfeng immediately to see me."

When the four people heard this, they were shocked. Lu Xiangming beside Wang Sheng also beaten a Doso, and the others were all gloomy. It turned out that the four people Wang Sheng wanted to arrest were all officials who had not been present today. Cai Yi's position was governor, responsible for collecting grain taxes from Jinan Prefecture and collecting corvée service; Yang Huaiyuan's position was Zhumo, responsible for licensing files, auditing, and supervising subordinate local officials of Jinan Prefecture; Feng Siping's position was a prison, responsible for arresting and arresting theft, maintaining public order, and Liu Jinfeng's position was a officials, responsible for deciding lawsuits and interrogating prisoners.

Although these four people have different official positions, Cai Yi is only a ninth rank, and the other three are only from the ninth rank, but the affairs in charge are all important matters of the grassroots. Moreover, these four people have been in Jinan Prefecture for many years, and have been in this position for more than 10 years. At least two generations have passed on. Not only do they control the actual power of the grassroots, but they also form a mixed network of relationships through marriage and swornship and apprenticeship, forming a mixed-raised network of relationships. In Jinan Prefecture, they are all famous figures. Even the prefect has to be very polite when they see them. Local officials in counties, towns and other places directly under the jurisdiction of Jinan Prefecture spend money to manage them every year. Every time they come to Jinan Prefecture to work, they have to hand over gifts first and then go to see the prefect.

These four people not only accumulated a lot of wealth, but also accumulated a lot of land. Therefore, they were naturally extremely dissatisfied with the land reform of the time travelers. This time, Wang Sheng was in the hall for the first time, and the main officials did not come. It was planned by the four of them, intending to force the time travelers to give up the land reform with a non-cooperational attitude.

Everyone thought that Wang Sheng was so cruel that he would remove these four people, but they didn't expect that there were even more ruthless people in the future and they actually wanted to capture these four people in the lobby. But are these four people so easy to catch?

Li Shan stepped forward and said, "May I ask, I don't know why I want to arrest them."

Wang Sheng sneered and said, "Do you need to explain the order I gave?"

Li Shan hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The villain dares not."

Wang Sheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, today I will let you understand. According to my investigation, Cai Yi, Yang Huaiyuan, Feng Siping, and Liu Jinfeng are usually plagued by power, engaged in corruption, corrupt, bullying good people, and taking human lives to harm the local area. The people are angry. I want you to capture the four of them, just to bring them to justice and punish them with the canon. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. The overseas Chinese were so cruel that they even planned to take action. Many people's hearts were beating, and even Lu Mingxiang wiped his cold sweat. It seemed that something really happened today.

Li Shan also hurriedly said, "Yes, the little ones will go immediately."

Wang Shengdao: "Wait."

Li Shan was stunned and said, "What are the instructions for sir?"

Wang Shengdao: "These four people can be regarded as number one figure in Jinan Mansion. I ask you to arrest them. I don't know if you can do it. If you can't do it, please make it clear as soon as possible. I will send someone else to do it so as not to miss the matter."

Li Shan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Please rest assured, so let the villain do this matter, and it must be done for the adult?" He turned to the other three and said, "Do you think so?"

The other three people hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, we will definitely catch people."

Wang Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, this is what you said by yourself. If Gao catches someone, I will be rewarded with a lot. If you can't catch someone, don't blame me for being rude, go."

Several people quickly turned around and left the prefect's office. However, Lu Mingxiang sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that these people were afraid of being in danger.

And at this moment, Wang Sheng said again: "Prime Minister Lu Tong."
