The reason why Su Jin was corrected was because Huang Qiong discovered through this incident that Su Jin was the one who bit anyone who caught him, impeached him at all costs if he thought there was a problem, and would never give up until he was pulled down. Now he has truly matured and can take on important tasks. Huang Qiong transferred Su Jin back to the capital from his post in Zhengzhou Prefecture, and placed him on the censor's desk in order to bring out his unchangeable hatred of evil in his bones and help him rectify his officialdom. He has been training and testing him since he was the third-rank right deputy governor.
From the right deputy capital, the imperial envoy, to the left deputy capital of Jin Dynasty. He was promoted to the position of censor of the right capital three years ago and now takes full charge of the censorship. This is all because Huang Qiong is satisfied with his changes over the years. Originally, Huang Qiong planned to hand over the Yushitai to this guy after he met his expectations. On this matter, he was courteous and courteous when persuading those officials, and did not follow the trend of making trouble. Huang Qiong, who was finally relieved by Su Jin's performance, handed over the Yushitai to him. However, Huang Qiong had planned to advance to the first rank.
Strengthen the status, powers and responsibilities of the Yushitai, and strengthen the supervision and management of officials. Yushitai no longer assisted the three prime ministers of Zhongshu Province in supervising officials, and jointly supervised the administration of justice with the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. Instead, he was directly responsible to the emperor, supervising officials and impeaching officials. Rights and responsibilities have also been greatly strengthened. The powers of the original thirteen supervisory censors have been strengthened. As for the river work and salt roads, according to Huang Qiong's clear request, the censor station should also be like all roads, sending fourth-level censors to supervise them.
Huang Qiong even gave judicial power to the thirteen supervisory censors, as well as the riverwork and salt supervisory censors. Officials found to be corrupt can be locked up first as long as there is clear evidence. As for the Fenshoudao responsible for supervising local officials, they were all dispatched from the original inspection envoys to Yushitai. In addition to the original powers, the greatest power and responsibility is to supervise the third-level officials of prefecture and county in the jurisdiction. The local criminal names were changed to local officials for sentencing, but the review and compliance of the cases were the responsibility of the affiliated Taoist authorities.
Death penalty and exile can only be reviewed by the affiliated Taoist Taoist platform before being reported to the Dali Temple for review. Neither the Dali Temple nor the Ministry of Punishment will accept the application without a writing attached to it. The officials dispatched by the Yushitai are all responsible only to the Yushitai, or to be precise, to the emperor. This resulted in the formation of a multi-level inspection system from top to bottom. However, Huang Qiong was not only extremely strict in the selection of those supervisory censors, but also had strict institutional requirements. Once they are found to be corrupt or derelict in their duties, not only will their crimes be increased, but they will also be punished without mercy.
Huang Qiong granted these censors great powers, but the requirements and supervision were also stricter. If you know the law and break it, you will be severely punished. Moreover, this iron law was not only written into the "Da Qi Law", but was also written as a banner by Huang Qiong himself, carved into a stone tablet, and erected in the courtyard of Yushitai Yamen. Facing this increasingly large, hierarchical, and increasingly authoritative system, a capable person is needed to control it. Su Jin served as a magistrate, a road inspector, and was transferred to the Yushitai where he practiced for many years.
As long as Huang Qiong's expectations are met, Su Jin is the most suitable choice for Huang Qiong. Although the prefect did a pretty good job and just followed the route he set for him step by step, he didn't do anything outstanding. Compared with his colleague, the difference is more than one step. But after being appointed as the inspector and transferred to the Yushitai, he performed very well. But before he was fully mature, Huang Qiong still couldn't rest assured. It was not until this incident that Huang Qiong felt that Su Jin finally met Huang Qiong's expectations. That's why I got this promotion.
However, the turmoil of this matter is over now. Many officials who were still unconvinced could only curse behind their backs. Su Jin had now become a villain and had no choice but to do anything. However, it was also expected that these officials would object, so Huang Qiong kept a low profile on Chen Yao's funeral. Not only did he suppress the bitterness in his heart, he also did not send Chen Yao into the underground palace in person. Even the imperial edict to confer Chen Yao as empress was only announced to the world after Chen Yao's coffin had been transported to the mausoleum.
For some people who are not good at doing things or being good at being a person, but their ability to act as a troublemaker is first-rate, so-called clean flow, even Huang Qiong, who has always had a tough attitude, sometimes has to give in. Not sending Chen Yao off for the last time became Huang Qiong's biggest regret. Fortunately, a hundred years later, he would go down to accompany Chen Yao, which made him feel better. After Chen Yao was finally buried, Huang Qiong's imperial tomb project was also in full swing. Naturally, Huang Qiong will not pay too much attention to this matter.
What gave Huang Qiong some headaches was that although the leader he sent to the Western Region did a pretty good job overall, he could barely control the situation. But the original agreement of coming to pick up the family in three years was not really fulfilled. The three-year period has arrived, but there is just a twist, hoping that the agreement will be postponed for two years. As for his vague breach of contract, Duan Lin couldn't help but be full of doubts. Although Duan Lin's ideas are somewhat incompatible with women of this era, she distinguishes certain things very clearly.
Even the greedy Huang Qiong's strength also enjoys the gentleness brought by the Lord. As for her husband's breach of contract, even if she is greedy for the affair with Huang Qiong, it does not mean that she will give up on another person. After asking for permission, Huang Qiong agreed and temporarily fostered the child with Dao Meiping. He pestered Huang Qiong for half a month before taking the ten people Huang Qiong allocated to him, carefully selected from among the Duan family members who were good at martial arts, as well as twenty bodyguards, plus three hundred bodyguards. The army rushed to the Western Region to find out.
Huang Qiong was relieved that Duan Lin finally left. Without him, this woman's pestering temperament made Huang Qiong somewhat unbearable. Not only that, but you have to beware of this woman's calculations in that kind of thing. No one will think that doing that thing is a transcendent enjoyment. Although Duan Lin was so dissolute, especially when sleeping with Dao Meiping, Huang Qiong was stunned and enjoyed it very much, but the problem was that this woman was very unpredictable, which also made Huang Qiong very upset. It's a headache.
Now that Duan Lin finally thought about it, going to the Western Regions to see that guy gave Huang Qiong a feeling of relief. Even the half month of stalking Duan Lin before she left made him no longer so repulsive. After Duan Lin left, Huang Qiong brought Zhang Qiaoer and Zhao Xiu to the palace for a carnival to celebrate. After learning why Huang Qiong was so happy, Zhang Qiaoer and others were speechless. It's not that they blame Huang Qiong for treating Duan Lin ruthlessly. They have served together many times in the past three years and they also know that Duan Lin is not a simple person.
Moreover, when Huang Qiong was with her, it was never Huang Qiong's initiative. In the following days, although he was forced to accept her, he never took the initiative. Compared with herself, Huang Qiong had always been the one who took the initiative with her. Duan Lin's departure was actually a relief for Huang Qiong. They were speechless just because it was the first time they saw this decisive and decisive leader being helpless by a woman and suffering from such a headache. There were even times when he had to avoid her.
But now in the harem, Huang Qiong, who is very proud of himself, is even more liberal in government affairs. It took several years to advance the change in small and fast steps, and now it has gradually achieved considerable results. In the past few years, God has been very generous. Although the weather has not been smooth all over the world, at least there have been no major droughts or floods. In particular, there are not many flaws in the river affairs of the two rivers. Let Huang Qiong focus all his energy on government affairs. Various changes were implemented in an orderly manner, and no one used excuses such as warnings from God to find fault.
But even in the past few years, God has always given him face, but Huang Qiong still did not relax too much. After the government reforms took effect and the annual income became increasingly abundant, and he had enough money to do other things, Huang Qiong basically allocated a large amount of money every year to spend on the two rivers and canals. Moreover, Huang Qiong changed the concept of river management from previous dynasties, which only focused on blockage and not on dredging. Not only at the mouth of the Huaihe River, the population has built more than ten estuaries into the sea. Along the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, many artificial lakes have been dug along the canals.
And the water surface of the lake created by the Yellow River burst in the past dynasties was expanded as much as possible. Huan Mingren built a new river parallel to the Xuhuai River at the point where the Yellow River had captured the Huai River and entered the Huai River. As the supreme emperor, he has to personally patrol the river every year before the autumn floods. Under Huang Qiong's painstaking efforts, in the eleventh year of Huang Qiong's succession, which was also the tenth year after Huang Qiong succeeded to the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Chongde, a rare flood of the Yellow River in a century broke down the river embankment and moved southward in a mighty way. , and almost captured Huaihe again.
However, the Yellow River water that broke through the embankment came out along several new river channels in the middle and lower reaches, without causing major flooding. Along the way, several lakes were widened and deepened, which also played a role in diverting floods. When the flood reached the Huaihe River, there was not much water left. The newly increased water flowed into the sea through the new river channel, without causing a major disaster in the Huaihe River. This once-in-a-century flood also caused a flood disaster. However, the number of prefectures and counties involved is less than 30% of the Yellow River's capture of the Huaihe River in previous dynasties.
Although tens of thousands of people were affected by the disaster, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people were displaced and starved to death when the Yellow River floods occurred in previous dynasties. Compared to the vast expanse of land covering tens of thousands of miles in the middle and lower reaches of the two rivers, the damage suffered can be said to be almost negligible. Coupled with the court's timely response to the disaster, this once-in-a-century flood not only caused no disturbance, but instead became a monument to Huang Qiong's record of merit. Although Huang Qiong's method of river management has taken up a lot of cultivated land, it has caused some criticism.
But when a flood came, those criticisms disappeared. The water control method left by Huang Qiong has become a classic magic weapon for river control. The Lianghuai River, which was originally flooded by the Yellow River, has become a famous land of plenty to the south of the Yangtze River. Especially under Huang Qiong's painstaking efforts, cotton planting and the initial formation of cotton spinning technology blossomed everywhere. Because of the promotion of cotton cultivation, ordinary people also obtained an extremely cheap product to keep out the cold. There is no need for winter, because we can’t afford expensive furs or cocoon velvet to keep out the cold.
Poor people can only use cheap paper clothes with poor cold resistance, or catkins stuffed into clothes as winter clothes to keep out the cold. At the same time, with the heavy investment of the Fan family, various cotton cloths and cotton products gradually began to circulate. Although clothes made of cotton are not as comfortable as silk, the problem is that cotton production is larger, so the price is cheaper.
Cotton and cotton cloth are no longer only used by the rich and powerful as curios, for viewing, or as luxury items. Although in order to promote cotton and cotton-padded clothes made of cotton, Huang Qiong invested a lot of money, and it took five years to gradually realize it. Among them, the reason why cotton planting can be pushed forward is because Huang Qiong issued an imperial edict to enforce it and reached a certain planting area. It wasn't until the income from growing cotton exceeded that of sorghum that people began to actively accept it.
