The reason why they are familiar is that this is the place where Jiang Tian fought side by side with Zhang Wusheng and the others, and many subsequent stories took place from this place. The reason why it feels strange is that the ghost market that originally had densely built buildings along the mountain and looked like an above-ground city has completely changed.
For example, most of the caves and corridors on the surrounding mountain walls that once extended in all directions have been filled and cut off by thick masonry walls. There were only two or three seemingly most spacious entrances and exits left; and what Jiang Tian came out of this time was obviously one of them, a secret underground passage that originally led to the outside of the city.
On the platform at the bottom of the pot-shaped pit, those large areas of buildings damaged by fire have long been demolished and cleared. Only a large area of empty, flat white land was left, also surrounded by camp fences, maintaining the rough original layout. At the same time, the foundations and trenches were excavated again, and many equipment of unknown purpose were placed.
There are many temporary tents as big and small as mushrooms, and there are men pushing materials and pulling carts and horses, as well as craftsmen who are making endless noises. It is obvious that venues and building areas with different uses and functions are being constructed; such as training grounds, warehouses, testing grounds, watchtowers and police towers, etc.
The only ones that have been relatively intact are the five large pavilions close to the innermost mountain wall, including the original Fan Tower and Qi Tower. But these large pavilions have also undergone obvious transformation and repairs. After the original flashy exterior decoration was removed, various degrees of reinforcement and additions were carried out.
Therefore, it looks a bit primitive and strict at the moment. The horizontal and vertical ditches surrounding the core city area have obviously been dredged and dredged, and flowing water has been introduced. Therefore, a relatively closed terrain barrier is formed between the terrain and the surrounding gentle slopes that have been cleared.
And all of this seemed to have been completed within a few months after Jiang Tian left. At this time, the official who was responsible for guiding the way also put aside his calmness and reserve, which was precious to every word. Amidst the admiration and exclamation of his colleagues Zhang Wusheng and others, he turned to Jiang Gao and said warmly:
"Supervisor Jiang has seen that the current new place is the permanent residence of the Secret Service Department and the nobles in Xijing in the future. It's just that the time to start construction is still short, so there is nothing there at the moment. It looks like; only those few pavilions are barely usable, I wonder if the supervisor has any advice on this?"
"Okay, it's really good..." Jiang Tian nodded involuntarily: He originally thought of an ideal place, but it was actually at the old site of Han Palace Taicheng in Beiyuan, but he didn't expect it to be in this underground ghost market. "We can't talk about meeting for the time being. Please take me to those buildings and have a look before we discuss it."
A moment later, Jiang Tian stood on the highest terrace of the Fan Building; overlooking the huge pit and the pitted dark ceiling from a distance. And on some beams, columns and tiles that have not been replaced, the traces left by him during the previous capture and killing are as vivid as yesterday.
Then, he checked the hidden space behind Fan Building. The large-scale fighting performance venues and peripheral buildings built around the naturally formed crypts, as well as the various attached passages and large and small animal pens and prison cells, have also been emptied out again; with a little modification, they can be directly dispatched. Useful.
In this case, some of the contained objects that Jiang Tian brought back from Dongdu, as well as some instruments, specimens, and even the living bodies of captured beasts and ghosts, can be immediately put into storage and carried out experiments. Obviously, the people responsible for presiding over the relevant engineering projects have also carefully thought about all the details, large and small.
Therefore, along with the re-erected simple archway in the small square in front of the Fan Building; a black-base silver-painted plaque with iron paintings and silver hooks said to be written by a certain court elder was hung; The Xingyu History Department, also known as Xili Xingyuan, was officially established in a low-key and silent manner.
All the structures of the Xili Courtyard should be compared with the specifications of the main courtyard in Jinyong City of the East Capital. There are two departments of internal and external staff, as well as one room and three halls including the internal machine room, grain hall, training hall, and work and camp hall; only all personnel and officials are slightly lower than the first level of the main hospital/headquarters in Dongdu. Responsible for daily work as deputy.
Of course, most of this is still on paper, so with Jiang Tian's arrival, he needs to rebuild it from scratch. However, fortunately, with the size of Datang, there is no shortage of various talent candidates; preparations for this kind of thing had already begun before his return.
Therefore, after Jiang Tian presided over the simple inauguration ceremony under the witness of a handful of people, a list of experts from various departments agreed upon by the Political Affairs Hall and Ouchi was sent to him. in hand. Of course, Jiang Tian basically didn't know most of the people above.
Therefore, this is just a confirmation process; but Jiang Tian still noticed one detail. There are a total of ten personnel lists, as well as notes introducing their backgrounds and qualifications. Without exception, the word "power belt" is included. Does this also mean that this is not ironclad?
Rather, it will take a period of testing and follow-up operations before you can be formally appointed based on performance? In this case, perhaps the person who is responsible for establishing the new department will have a certain weight and restriction in the reference opinions he gradually puts forward as a professional in the future.
In comparison, the process of forming a lay team (field staff) is much simpler. Because Xijing Jinwu Guard's left and right street envoys directly have ready-made manpower, the establishment and titles directly refer to the existing military regulations, and the equipment and equipment are basically ready-made, so just make a list for allocation.
What Jiang Tian really has to do is to formulate a basic standard and selection regulations; conduct assessment and selection of general candidates recommended by all parties in terms of skills, mental ability, courage, etc. And this is also a legitimate opportunity to promote and place his followers into key positions.
Just like Lin Jiulang, who was promoted to brigade commander by surprise, he is usually taciturn and strict in his words, has enough perseverance and hard work in his actions, and has the corresponding moral persistence and bottom line; therefore, he has a good reputation among the sergeants under his command, and can also make people People are convinced. He happened to lead the team directly under the supervision department to be responsible for mobile support.
Zhang Wusheng, on the other hand, was enthusiastic and flexible, good at negotiation and comprehensive; his military skills were also pretty good; he also had the origin and background of the Jinwu Guards. Coupled with the fact that Li Huan, a senior military general with a background in military affairs, is a thoughtful and seasoned partner, he is the perfect candidate to support the layman team.
As for the thirty-five supervisory attachés (sergeants) who came together, except for the four who had varying degrees of physical deformation, they had long been designated as members of Jiang Tian's direct team. The others all rose up and were assigned to serve as the backbone of the newly formed layman first regiment on paper as fire captain and team deputy.
Therefore, they are also specifically responsible for the training and instruction of the newly added soldiers of the first lay regiment; they are also the first choice for the defense and supervision of some key departments and dangerous places. Basically, it is also the backbone of future field execution.
As for Xin Pingping, the only civil servant, he came from a serious background and was ranked third in the imperial examination. He almost let go of the head of a county. At the same time, he had a conscience of being eager for justice and a belief in overcoming difficulties and chaos. Jiang Tian recommended him as the deputy chief registrar under the ninth rank to take over the responsibilities of the internal computer room, which had a lot of general affairs.
As for Linghu Xiaomu, who had a dual relationship, Jiang Tian also issued a letter of appointment to her under the guise of public service and private affairs; she was officially appointed as the Supervisor and Recorder of the Secret Censorship Department. What you are actually responsible for is the collection and sorting of information and intelligence from various channels and sources. It can be regarded as the third-level official level among the foreign products.
The key is to give her the qualifications and status to negotiate on an equal footing with the former Shangguan of the Wude Division. The establishment and title that Chu Yu can get are much lower than hers. Because she was from a humble background and was a woman, she only had the status of a supervisor/walker.
Probably equivalent to a low-level official with uncertain responsibilities. However, Jiang Tian's future arrangements and positioning were used to secretly monitor and observe the miscellaneous leftist personnel assigned to him. After all, when the Anxing Yushi Department was established, he didn't want to repeat what happened when he was infiltrated into a sieve.
After all, as a newly established powerful department, it is impossible not to want to be interfered with by all parties. Jiang Tian is not a person who is obsessed with power and is reluctant to let go. But compared to the understanding that we have formed a certain tacit understanding with each other, it is completely intolerable to be used secretly.
"First Evolution"
Therefore, in the current brand-new office space, after Jiang Tian finally summoned Chu Yu, he also assigned her the first task, or the first instruction. With the newly established secret censorship department serving as her backing and support, she allowed her to completely resolve the entanglements and involvements of past grudges and hatreds...
Just when Jiang Tian sent everyone out, signed the last document, and was about to rest for a while, the announcement came again from outside the door. But it was the young official who was responsible for guiding the way, holding a stack of documents in his own hand, walked in and said calmly:
"Secretary Sheng Dianzheng and Dongge editor Yu Cong were ordered to come and deliver the documents. In the future, I also ask the supervisor to make corrections..."
Jiang Tian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this. Because, in the previous list of dozens of people, there was no one like Yu Cong. What's going on? Then he looked at the confession and the written text presented by the other party, but it was signed by the official behind the hall under Zhongshu's sect, and was appointed as the secret secretary of the Censorship Department/Li Xingyuan Supervisor Zuo Zi.
In other words, he suddenly had a fresh deputy.
