Not long after, in the Zixuan Pavilion of Shangyang Garden in Luoyang, the eastern capital, His Royal Highness the contemporary prince, dressed in purple gauze and black crown, was also listening to routine reports from foreign ministers. These include the Fifth Chamber of Cardinals, the Wude Department, the Privy Council and the General Counselor's Office, as well as the recently established Qingzhengsi and the Anxing Yushi Department.
The atmosphere during the period was also very upright and peaceful, until Bai Acui, the representative of the Anxing Yushi Department/Li Xingyuan, the current director of the inner machine room who was close to Mrs. Cen, and the grandnephew of the former prime minister Bai Xingjian; The copywriting also made other people present short of breath:
"Your Majesty, this is the "Treatise on the Evil Mind of Heaven" that was recently published by Xijingli Xingyuan. It is said to be the fundamental path of reincarnation of all things in the world. It itself has no consciousness; but because of encounters with evil spirits from foreign lands, After alien invasion, there will be a reciprocal reaction."
"It's just like the miscellaneous diseases caused by wind evil that ordinary people are unintentionally infected. Abscesses and sores will naturally appear on the body surface as a warning. And several secret realms that have appeared in the world are similar to the acne infected by wind evil. The wounds are broken; and those monsters that arise are diseases and poisons."
"Therefore, the source of all things in this world will naturally produce corresponding antibodies, that is, those alien talents who are awakened one after another, from stopping and eradicating the poison of the evil winds in the alien world, and even the powerful ones who emerge with a mission. Just to repair the trauma of the realm invasion.”
"It sounds like there is some truth in it. At least it can explain the current situation." The prince smiled slightly: "But I don't know which great talent in Lixingyuan came from this set of "Theories on the Evil Mind of Heaven". Hand: Could it be that supervisor, the new discovery and induction?"
However, Bai Atui, who was the manager of the internal computer room, continued as if he didn't realize it:
"I dare not hide it from you: this set of inferences comes from the hands of Yu Cong, the deputy supervisor of Xijing Lixingyuan and the former Dongge bachelor. More importantly, it also mentions that if someone is involved in something different, it is said that this is The focus of corruption and poison will be spurned and counterattacked by the consciousness of the heavenly heart of this world."
"Although I was able to gain extraordinary power for a while, I was also invisibly rejected by heaven and earth. As time went by, I became more and more inhuman; even under the influence of the monster instinct, my temperament changed drastically, and I lost more and more. Much memory and intelligence were eventually replaced."
However, after hearing these words, the expressions of several people present changed slightly; or their eyes became twinkling. But when His Highness the Crown Prince came over with his eyes, he immediately responded with the usual humility, as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, Jiang Tian was already in a three-story painting boat on Mochou Lake in Jiangning Prefecture, accepting the hospitality of local officials. As one of the four major flower shops in Xuanwu and Mochou Lakes in Jiangning City, Shenglefang has been reserved exclusively for Jiang Tian for the past two days.
And after the civil and military officials from the local Zhejiang Province, including the administrative envoys, inspection envoys, transshipment envoys and economic envoys, the patrol censor, Jiangning Shaoyin, the city shipping envoy, etc., all visited in turn like a revolving lantern; Jiang Tian also I once again gained a rare sense of purity and began to slowly appreciate this ancient city.
In a sense, this is actually a fairly young city. Because, as the predecessor of Jiangning City, Jianye/Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties; in fact, when the "Eternal Emperor" Yang Guang was the commander-in-chief, he attacked Nanchen, it had been destroyed, and even the foundation of the palace city was plowed into farmland. .
Therefore, the current Jiangning City, except for the stone city on the riverside that cannot be destroyed, other parts of the city are the product of reconstruction over the hundreds of years under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Despite this, the emerging Jiangning City is reviving again relying on its unique geographical location.
It even eventually replaced Dantu in the lower reaches and became the capital of West Zhejiang Province, which was divided into two Zhejiang provinces in the reform of Taixing; and then became one of the sixteen prefectures in the two capitals, parallel to Guangling. Therefore, when incidents in rainy areas continue to break out, these local officials have no choice but to be nervous and solemn.
Jiangdong Road, where Xuanzhou is located, and Zhexi Road, where Jiangning Prefecture is located, are both the richest and most productive areas in the southeast. Together with Huainan East Road and Zhejiang Road, they constitute the core area and most of the wealth center in the southeast of the imperial court. In addition, the coastal areas are rich in fish and salt, and commercial maritime trade is developed.
Therefore, in the hundreds of years since Taixing was reformed, the revenue from various municipal taxes, commercial taxes, shipping taxes, and miscellaneous taxes on tea, salt, porcelain, and silk has far exceeded the traditional land tax and ding tax by several to ten times. , so the imperial court’s income from the Eight Southeast Roads accounted for nearly half of the country’s income.
It is also because of the abundant local output, the prosperity of the people, the number of scholars who can support it, and the cultural tradition of numerous talents and famous figures. Therefore, the Shanghai Party/Tonghai Party, composed of scholars from Liangling, Minzhong, Zhejiang, Lianghuai, Jiangdong and other regions, was also an important political group in the DPRK.
Therefore, the situation continued to expand and became out of control; it affected not only the shipping safety of the rivers and waterways, but also the financial revenue of the southeastern part of the imperial court, as well as the fortunes and futures of hundreds of local officials. Therefore, I am sincerely grateful and in awe of Jiang Tian who solved the situation.
On the other hand, the traditional inertia of the bureaucracy can always reveal some bright spots in major regional disasters, reporting good news but not bad news; or downplaying some funeral arrangements. But this requires corresponding cooperation and recognition from the parties headed by Jiang Tian.
For example, in this rainy area that affected several surrounding counties, only a few thousand of tens of thousands of households were saved. But in the densely populated Jiangdong area where land is at a premium, hundreds of large and small landlord families have died out in disguise, leaving behind hundreds of ownerless or land properties with inheritance disputes.
In fact, in this mutated area, although it turned into a muddy swamp due to excessive rain, it was also due to the melting and death of those alien species that the land became extremely fertile and productive; so that in The demarcation of various counties continued to be controversial for several years.
However, this has nothing to do with Jiang Tian at the moment. As the head of the local civil service system, the chief envoy and others came to visit in private without avoiding suspicion; just to get an attitude from Jiang Tian, an attitude that would limit the accountability of local officials involved to the state and county level. .
Therefore, Jiang Tian also took advantage of the situation and put forward corresponding conditions: the first one is to make every effort to rescue the surviving people in the rain area; the second one is that the local government needs to do its best to cooperate with the root cause behind the expansion of the rain area. This is also their only chance to reduce liability afterwards.
However, at this juncture, Linghu Xiaomu fell ill. After continuous exertion, she began to lie down completely with weakness, coughing and fever. So after some intense sweating/aerobic exercise in the hot pool, Jiang Tian could only let her rest for a few days.
Then they were stationed in Jiangling and other places from Xijingli Hangyuan, and some manpower was transferred to assist in the investigation. While he was conducting a secret investigation in secret, while he was repairing and waiting openly, Jiang Tian also received a letter from the family members of the back house headed by Ajie/Huixiang in the Qingqi Garden in the capital.
In this rather thick family letter, in addition to the current situation of everyone in the back house and some trivial matters of daily life, it also mentioned that the land prices around Qujiangfang have begun to rise recently and it is difficult to find large sums of money; many private villas, mansions and Gardens have begun to undergo renovations to varying degrees.
But at the same time, someone actually came to the door, saying that because the business he was running was unsustainable and he was in urgent need of money, he hoped to transfer the nearby mansion at the market price. Therefore, Sister A suspected that there was some kind of instruction and inspiration behind this matter.
The purpose is to test the attitude and stance of the family, and maybe even take the opportunity to involve Qingqi Garden in some potential right and wrong. But at least on the surface it seems that there is no problem with the other party; he is just a Daqin businessman in the West City who has been in business for a long time, and the previous generation bought a business in Xiaqujiang.
In addition, Sister A vaguely mentioned another thing in Beijing. After a series of incidents involving the Forbidden Garden Incident, the reassigned Shangjing Liubei has now taken up his post. It was Li Xun, the king of Guo, who was the younger half-brother of the present generation and was famous for his wealth of knowledge and friendship with scribes.
However, although there is only one word difference between the governor of Xijing who was appointed by King Guo and the governor of Xijing who was previously served by King Zheng, it is obvious that they are completely different in terms of authority and position. Without the word "supervisor", the title of supervising the military and government agencies in Beijing will be lost.
Although he can still be suspended from office for investigation through official impeachment, there is no longer the expediency of making temporary decisions, directly removing personnel, or even temporarily appointing an agent. Obviously, this is one of the inevitable prices and concessions in the game between the inner and outer dynasties.
