for a long time.
Xu Yi stood up slowly and laid out all the papers filled with Zhou Qiping's life trajectory on the desk.
The part of paper about disaster relief was placed closest to my sight.
Xu Yi's eyes slowly passed over the papers without any emotion.
"Not only are there many opponents this time, but their energy is also extremely powerful."
Xu Yi murmured and quickly gathered the papers on the desk.
Refill the inkstone with water until the ink overflows.
Cover the desk with a piece of white rice paper again.
Sitting on the desk, he picked up a pen and wrote six characters:
"Food is being depleted dramatically."
The fundamental reason why Zhou Qiping failed was the inability to provide disaster relief.
The fundamental reason for the ineffective disaster relief is the abnormal consumption of food.
Xu Yi did not believe that Zhou Qiping could not understand the importance of food with his wisdom.
Since we understand the importance of food, we will definitely send true confidants to strictly control every grain of food.
In this case, it still caused a sharp consumption of food.
Then obviously, there is only one possibility.
That was a sudden surge in the number of victims.
A large number of disaster victims poured into Chang'an City, causing a rapid consumption of food.
Quite reasonable.
This is what Zhou Qiping told officials at Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.
However, it was a pity that when officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment verified the number of victims.
The answer is that instead of increasing, the number of disaster victims has decreased significantly.
In addition, three boxes of gold were found from the inn where Zhou Qiping stayed the previous day.
Zhou Qiping really couldn't argue.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi slowly wrote the second line of large characters on the paper with a langhao pen.
"Real and fake disaster victims!"
Assuming that Zhou Qiping was wrongly accused, this is the only way for the victims to explain it.
"Master."
Xu Yi stared at the ten big characters on the rice paper, with a cold smile on his lips.
There seems to be some speculation in my mind about the calculations of the people behind the scenes.
He stood up slowly and threw the rice paper and all the information he had collected from his investigation into the stove beside him.
Along with a puff of smoke, all the papers covered with writing slowly turned into ashes.
Open the windows and let in fresh air.
Xu Yi took a deep breath of the cold winter night air and stared out the window at the dark night.
I murmured to myself: "The night has fallen, can the dawn be far behind?"
No one knew what Xu Yi was thinking that night.
No one knew what Xu Yi's eyes looking into the darkness meant.
...
A night of silence.
The next morning, when the sky was bright.
The two masters and servants in Youningyuan slowly walked out of Youningyuan again on their tall horses.
Different from yesterday, today Xu Yi is wearing a white jade crown.
Wearing a dark jade python robe, there are small seals three fingers wide hanging on the waist, and a token the size of a baby's palm.
The small seal with three fingers wide is clearly the official seal of Jingzhao Yin, which symbolizes the third-grade official position.
The token, which was the size of a baby's palm, was clearly the imperial token symbolizing the commander-in-chief of disaster relief.
With these two things in hand, all counties in the Guanzhong area must unconditionally obey Xu Yi's disaster relief orders.
Half an hour later.
Two war horses slowly stopped at the main entrance of Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.
When the officer on duty at the door saw Xu Yi wearing a dark jade python robe, he didn't dare to hesitate and quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Give the war horse to the Yamen servant.
Xu Yi strode towards the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen.
Zhao Shou behind him had a treasured sword hanging on his waist, and in his hand was Xu Yi's Zhanyuan Sword.
Walking into the gate of Jingzhao Mansion, you are greeted by a long and wide corridor.
On the left side of the corridor is the gloomy and terrifying Hell Temple, and next to the Hell Temple is the notorious prison.
On the right side are the Yamen Temple and the Earth Temple.
Comparing the left and right, it is really a hell and a paradise.
"Meet the Sixth Prince."
"Meet the Sixth Prince."
"Greetings to Mr. Jing Zhaoyin."
Along the way, all the officials walking on both sides bowed their hands and saluted Xu Yi.
The Sixth Prince Xu Yi took over as Jing Zhaoyin and took charge of the disaster relief work in Guanzhong. Now everyone knows about it.
Even the refugees outside the city had already learned about the appointment of the new Jing Zhaoyin through notices.
The low-level official in Jingzhao Mansion looked at Xu Yi with respect.
But for some reason, there is a different kind of emotion hidden in this respect, as if... pitiful?
Xu Yi nodded slightly without stopping.
After passing through a tall ceremonial gate.
The scene in Jingzhao Mansion changed again.
The three spacious buildings on the left side of the Yimen are the barracks, execution room, and workshop.
The three spacious rooms on the right side of the Yimen are the official room, the household room, and the ceremonial room.
And these six rooms are the epitome of the six departments in the court.
Among them, the military department is responsible for recruiting civilians and training local warriors. Once a rebellion occurs, the military department also needs to organize forces to participate in operations such as suppressing bandits.
Due to the fact that Jingzhao Mansion is located in the capital, the barracks are almost in a semi-destructive state and can only manage some government officials on weekdays.
Jingzhao Yinzhong's executioner is responsible for hearing cases on weekdays. If there is a major case, the executioner will automatically become Jingzhaoyin's secretary.
They are responsible for assisting Jing Zhaoyin in investigating cases. When Jing Zhaoyin is hearing cases, they need to take notes.
After that, the files are sorted out, and the daily management of the prison is also the responsibility of the execution room.
It can be said to be one of the busiest parts of the entire Jingzhao Mansion.
During this era, the Gongfang was mainly responsible for the construction and maintenance of large-scale projects in Chang'an City, including dams, bridges, warehouses, ancestral halls, etc.
Because it is located in the capital, the Ministry of Industry is in front.
Therefore, the workshops in Jingzhao Mansion are almost on the verge of bankruptcy.
If not, why would Xu Yi need to borrow people from the Ministry of Industry?
The official office is mainly responsible for the promotion, transfer and appointment of local officials, the attendance of the government office, and the management of squires.
However, because it was located in the capital and had officials in front, the first two responsibilities were completely abolished.
Xu Yi turned his head and glanced at the deserted household and ceremonial rooms.
He couldn't help but shake his head. Just looking at the deserted appearance, he knew that these two departments in the government office were basically disabled.
Going forward is a spacious platform.
There are two spacious side halls on the left and right sides of the platform.
On the left side of the hall, go to the official office of the Chengfu government, and on the right side of the hall, go to the official office of the Wei government.
The government system of the Zhou Dynasty consisted of three chief officials in one place.
If it is a county, the three chief officials are the county guard, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant.
If it is a county, the three chief officials are the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county captain.
The county governor is a landowner and is responsible for directing all affairs of the county.
The county magistrate is the second-in-command in a county and is mainly responsible for assisting the county governor in managing the area. Similar to the second-in-command and the secretary-general of the office in later generations.
The county lieutenant is the third-in-command of a county, mainly responsible for the security and prison affairs of a place, similar to the top judicial leaders in later generations.
The three chief officers complement each other.
Because Jingzhao Mansion was located in the capital, it was renamed a prefecture and the county governor was renamed Jingzhao Yin.
Jun Cheng was renamed Fu Cheng, and Jun Wei was renamed Fu Wei.
