In p>1923, Shenyang (called Fengtian) wanted to establish a municipal system, that is, to establish a municipal office (similar to the municipal government) to manage urban administration. The establishment of the city system is an important symbol of urban modernization, which is an unprecedented event. Of course, a mayor should be elected to establish a city system.
the mayor is a new term, which the common people have never heard of and the officials are not familiar with. However, since the news of the appointment of the mayor spread, some people have recommended themselves to the provincial office, and many have recommended themselves to the general security headquarters. Some of them think they have the experience of studying abroad and are familiar with the management mode of foreign cities; Some people think that they have followed Zhang Zuolin's useful journey, and maybe they will reward a mayor for their work! In this way, several candidates for mayor recommended by the department's top management entered Zhang Zuolin's field of vision.
On this day, in the afternoon of spring, Zhang Zuolin had a tea in the living room of the fifth wife in the south building of Shuaifu, and opened the file. A piece of material about Zeng You-yi caught his attention: Zeng You-yi, the word Zi Jing, was from Hong Ling Fort, Sujiatun. Because of his poor family background, he didn't have the opportunity to study in a private school when he was a teenager, and he couldn't afford a tutor. In order to seek knowledge and culture, he once ran to the window of a private school to eavesdrop on lectures and practice calligraphy with branches on the land. After a long time, the teacher was moved and gave him some advice.
Seeing this, Zhang Zuolin was impressed. He felt that this boy was promising in his studies, and his bitter and cold background was similar to his own.
after years of self-study, Zeng youyi finally succeeded in the examination in the late Qing dynasty, which caused a sensation in the village. Later, he was selected as a tribute student from imperial academy, so he could go to Beijing and study in the highest institution of learning in the Qing Dynasty. In 196, he was promoted to Yougong. After gaining fame and saving a little money, Youwing could not forget his hometown and the hardships he had worked out in his childhood. He funded the establishment of the first primary school in his hometown-Honglingbao High School, which is the first public primary school in the history of Sujiatun District.
In 197, Zeng Youyi was admitted to Jingshi University Hall (the predecessor of Peking University), and returned to Fengtian after graduation. He successively served as supervisor of Fengtianmeng Literature Hall, history teacher of Provincial No.1 Middle School (now No.5 Middle School), advisor of Provincial Education Department, and chairman and vice president of Education General Association.
Seeing this, Zhang Zuolin is a little suspicious. Is he just a scholar?
actually, it's not like this. In 1912, Zeng Youyi began to enter the political circles, successively serving as a member of the Senate, the President's Advisory Council and the House of Representatives of the Beijing government, entering the high-level government circles, and also making friends with some important people in Beijing. Later, he served as the salt transport envoy of the three northeastern provinces and the supervision of Shanhaiguan. In these two positions, Zeng Zijing made many achievements and became a well-known political figure in the province. Once again, I saw the record of Youwing as the secretary of the Military Supervision Department. Didn't Zhang Zuolin feel that this talent was by his side?
feng tian established the official land clearing bureau, and Zeng Zijing served as the director. During his tenure, the former Qing Dynasty Huangzhuang, Guanzhuang, Shanchang, Weichang and Linguo Manor in the province should be confiscated for the people. Wasteland, marginal land, abandoned land and concealed land should also be confiscated. Even licensed land should be re-cleared, and the tax quota should be re-determined ... This measure is a major change in the land system in Fengprovince. In this regard, the people gave Zeng Youyi some nicknames, calling him "whole net", "whole clean" and "whole dead net" according to Zeng Zijing's homonym. It was these that cleared up a large amount of land in a bristle, and later became an important source of land tax. For this kind of practice, Zhang Zuolin praised it even more, and thought that ever having wings was a useful talent.
in 1917, the whole country issued a general order to compile local chronicles, and you-yi once presided over the compilation of "Shenyang County Records", which was the main author. From this point of view, Zeng Youyi, with a moderate figure, a melon hat, a long robe and a moustache, can be said to be both civil and military. Isn't that the right candidate for the mayor? When it's getting late, Zhang Zuolin has chosen Zeng You as the first mayor of Fengtian.
On May 23rd, 1923, Zeng Youyi took office and became the first mayor of Shenyang since its establishment. Zeng Youyi lived up to expectations after taking office and drew up 19 things that should be handled immediately after the city was established. On July 1st, the CCBA set up six departments of general affairs, finance, engineering, health, education and business, and began to work.
During the three years that Zeng Youyi was in office, the municipal administration of Shenyang achieved initial results, the street planning took shape, the trams were introduced into the city, the planning of Huigong Industrial Zone and Shenhai Industrial Zone was completed, and the commercial port, Dadong Industrial Zone and the ancient city were connected together, becoming the jurisdiction of the municipal office. The establishment of the municipal office has accelerated the process of urban division to bridge, and laid the foundation for Shenyang's urban modernization. Zhang Zuolin advocated "northeast autonomy", and the first mayor of Shenyang, a native of Hong Ling Fort in Sujiatun District, who was selected by "serving the people", left a deep impression on the city.
