As summer is about to begin, the climate in Kyoto is already very hot. Especially in the afternoon, the sun is radiating heat with extra force.
At this time of year, most people in Kyoto rest at home. The streets, alleys, and city gate post roads are very quiet. Except for patrols and guards, there are very few people.
The guard from the outer city yawned, lazily leaning on his spear, and stood there squinting.
He and his partner agreed that they would take turns to rest.
"Ah! Chief Cen! It's those officials from Shuntian Mansion again!" His partner's crisp voice sounded along with the sound of footsteps approaching from far away.
The guard surnamed Cen reluctantly opened his eyes, put up a pergola with his hands and looked towards the source of the sound. He saw a dozen government officials walking back with a bang.
When they got closer, the heat smelling of sweat rushed towards the faces of the two guards Cen.
"Good guys! Everyone, this is not easy!" Guard Cen sighed sincerely while checking the visitor's entry order.
"Hi! It's your duty! It's your duty!" responded with big red faces.
"Okay, everything has been registered. Everyone, please go back and have a rest!" Guard Cen saw that his partner had finished recording and returned the entry order to the leading man with a smile.
The man thanked him, turned around and waved, and led the team to run towards the government office.
"They don't even have the strength on their feet. It's not easy to run out of and into the city all day long!" Guard Cen's partner is a newly hired man. He has just been crowned and is very young.
Hearing this, Guard Cen sneered: "Strength of feet? Haha, even if we have it, how can it be the turn of these small government officials? Even the Tongzhi and Tongsen inspectors are eating ashes from behind others' horseshoes!"
The little guard clicked his tongue twice: "Not as good as us guarding the city gate!"
"Who is better than the other!" Guard Cen sighed, and suddenly laughed, "It turns out that these guys acted like a boss, but they are more relaxed than us! It was only when the new governor took office that they were busy Round and round!"
Probably because there is a sense of happiness when there is comparison, Cen Guardsman felt comfortable just looking at him with a smile.
"Sir, when the patrol team returns, everything in the states and counties will be safe."
Hearing this, Sheng Yuan raised his head from behind the desk, took the record book handed by the clerk, flipped through it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes."
The clerk who was responsible for delivering documents to the governor saw that she had no other instructions, so after giving a respectful warning, he walked back and left with his hands clasped.
In this way, Shengyuan's attention returned to her schedule.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne and filial piety was abolished throughout the country, the old order in Dachu Kyoto has been restored.
As the prefect of Shuntian, Shengyuan has also been relieved of the additional tasks during the emergency period, and the focus of work has returned to its original position.
The Fu Yin is in charge of the administration of a government, promoting good morals, pacifying prisons and lawsuits, distributing taxes and servitude, educating the people, and is responsible for evaluating the performance of government officials. Things like local imperial examinations, school education, and sacrificial rituals are all within the scope of Fu Yin's responsibilities.
Although it is said that the Qing army, patrols, grain management, agriculture, water conservancy, farming, horse herding and other matters are handled by Tongzhi and Tongpan; judicial trials are handled by push officials, it sounds like the Fu Yin who is in charge of these officials is quite relaxed.
But in fact, as the governor-general and the official responsible for assessment, there are really too many things to consider.
Especially when the number of colleagues and judges under your command increases sharply, reaching six, seven, or seven or eight, you have to be careful about the agility among them.
There are many subordinates with the same function, and if they all get involved, the chief officer will inevitably worry that they will join forces to interfere with each other and deceive the superior.
But if the subordinates have too many thoughts, the supervisor will have to worry about them digging holes into each other and fighting among themselves.
There are already a lot of government affairs, and if his emotions are internally consumed by his subordinates, then he will become extremely depressed as a senior official.
Sheng Yuan didn't like ineffective consumption, let alone put her limited energy into unlimited battles of wits and courage, so after Kyoto was operating normally, she reorganized the government officials and asked the government officials who were not responsible for specific matters to be divided into teams. Patrol the jurisdiction area.
Although this change still cannot completely solve the shortcomings, it does save Sheng Yuan a lot of energy, allowing her to flex her muscles in government affairs.
"Sir, Yun
Qi Academy sends you an invitation. "The document came back again, and the news made Sheng Yuan smile.
Since taking office in Shuntian Prefecture, Sheng Yuan has learned that it is not easy to implement social studies outside the capital. In villages and towns, it is not only difficult for young girls to study, but also for young men. Most people only ask them to read and not blind.
Even though social studies did not charge tuition, and the court provided paper, ink, pens and inkstones, these families still refused to let their children study for a long time for the sake of labor.
Sheng Yuan couldn't control other places, but where she could, she refused to ignore them like her predecessors.
In fact, even if children are used as adults to work at home, how much can they do?
It's just that ordinary people live in poverty. Every penny they can earn is a penny, and if they can spend less, it's a penny.
Therefore, in order to steadily increase the enrollment rate of social studies, the key is to show the people the possibility of studying to improve their lives and let them get real benefits.
Sheng Yuan contacted Yunqi Academy because they valued the flourishing of hundreds of schools in their academy!
Medical College, Agricultural College, Craftsman College... these students went into the countryside and showed off the generous treatment and benefits provided by the imperial court, allowing the common people to truly see the real learning results. If they then promote their studies, I think there will be much less resistance.
At the same time, doctors, agricultural students, and engineering students go to the private sector for internships, which is beneficial to them but not harmful to them in accumulating a lot of experience, conducting experimental data, and achieving a unity of knowledge and action.
Medical students provide medical treatment to people in villages and towns, agricultural students provide better grain seeds, and engineering students provide more labor-saving and time-saving farming tools and advanced farming methods... These actions that benefit the people can achieve multiple positive effects.
Sheng Yuan, who wanted to win multiple things with one stone, made a special trip to visit the dean of Yunqi Academy and proposed establishing an official cooperative relationship between Shuntian Mansion and Yunqi Academy.
At that time, the old gentleman used practical actions to demonstrate what "rejection without moving" means.
Sheng Yuan was not discouraged, and was still thinking about whether to practice it and visit the thatched cottage three times.
Unexpectedly, after more than a month, things took a turn for the better, and a post came from Yunqi Academy!
This time, Shengyuan is confident to sign a cooperation contract at Yunqi Academy.
The fact is what Sheng Yuan thought. Yunqi Academy happily signed the cooperation contract after the change of dean position.
At this point, Shengyuan’s plan has reached its trial tentacles.
Of course, the implementation of specific matters depends on the ability of the colleagues and judges.
But no matter what, Shengyuan is much more leisurely.
And the leisurely Shengyuan turned his attention to the spacious streets of Kyoto.
Dachu Kyoto Street is more than ten feet wide. Whether it is sanitation or transportation, there is room for construction!
However, matters such as setting up garbage bins on the street, public carriage stations, and stalls for foreign merchants need to go to the cabinet and obtain its approval. There is no way, who let Shuntian Mansion be in Kyoto.
Therefore, Shengyuan had no choice but to roll up her sleeves and use her brains to try to impress the cabinet with the memorial.
But Sheng Yuan didn't know that no matter how good her writing was, the cabinet had no time to pay attention to it.
Because not long after she sent the memorial, an urgent military report arrived from the border town at an accelerated speed of 800 miles and landed on the desks of the cabinet ministers.
