After the war, after two years of development, Datong Town has not only restored its former bustle, but has even improved to a new level.
As the administrative center of Tiger Banner, Datong Town has also become a place where many merchants are willing to come, because here, merchants can buy goods that are only available on the grassland.
Many of the merchants who came to Datong to do business were merchants from the Ming Dynasty.
A businessman's nose is as sharp as a dog's when it comes to where he can make money. As for the bans imposed by the Ming Dynasty, they are nothing more than a piece of paper to these businessmen.
Behind every big businessman who came to do business under the rule of the Tiger Character Banner were figures from aristocratic families and officials of the current dynasty. In their eyes, they only saw themselves. As for whether doing so was subsidizing the enemy and poaching the Ming Dynasty, no one cared at all. .
Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money. For a wealthy family, whether the Ming Dynasty is good or not is a matter for Lao Zhu's family.
Liu Heng rode along the street to the main town office.
In front of the main town office, Chen Dali was already waiting here.
"Lord." Chen Dali saluted Liu Heng who came back, and then personally held the reins of Liu Heng's horse. After Liu Heng got off the horse, he handed the reins to someone else.
"Do you know everything?" Liu Heng walked inside without forgetting to speak to Chen Dali who was following him.
Chen Dali nodded and said, "My subordinates rushed over immediately after hearing the news."
Two people entered the main town office.
Zhao Wu asked his men to lead the horses back to the stables, and he and the other two guards followed Liu Heng into the main town office.
In the signing room, Liu Heng sat on the seat behind the desk, while Chen Dali sat on the bench opposite the desk.
Zhao Wu made two cups of hot tea.
One cup was placed on the table in front of Liu Heng, and the other cup was given to Chen Dali.
"Tell me what the Intelligence Bureau knows." Liu Heng picked up the tea cup and blew in the hot air inside.
Chen Dali put the teacup in his hand aside and said solemnly: "After verification, the corruption problem involves eight county magistrates and above, and three town magistrates. Two of them are from the Chief Envoy, and one of them is Secretly colluded with the imperial court."
"There are even those who collude with the imperial court. These people are really brave. It seems that the last punishment was too light." Liu Heng said with a cold look on his face.
Chen Dali said: "There is a counselor named He Guang involved in the Chief Envoy Department, who is in charge of supervising the grain road. This person is a civil servant. While serving as an official for our Tiger-Character Banner, he is also secretly communicating with the imperial court."
"Is the evidence conclusive?" Liu Heng asked in a serious tone.
This He Guang was the first person to vote for the Tiger-Character Flag. If he could become the Chief Envoy Councilor and assist Zhao Yutu, he could be regarded as buying horse bones for the Tiger-Character Flag's daughter.
Unexpectedly, what I bought was a white-eyed wolf.
Chen Dali said in a solemn tone: "Master, please rest assured, everyone mentioned by my subordinates has sufficient evidence, and I will never wrongly accuse anyone."
"I have arranged for Zhao Yutu to go to the grassland. He will be on the road in the next two days. At that time, you will cooperate with the newly appointed chief envoy to take action against these people." Liu Heng picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the tea in the cup.
"Yes." Chen Dali responded.
"Also," Liu Heng put down his tea cup and continued, "the Internal Intelligence Bureau has detached some personnel to establish the Metropolitan Procuratorate. You will be the president of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I will appoint the left and right censors separately. You will be responsible for the tasks of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future. Supervision of officials at all levels, of course, does not include the military, which is still handed over to the Internal Intelligence Agency."
Local officials in Tiger Banner had corruption problems several times, and he had to supervise the rights of local officials.
After hearing this, Chen Dali asked hesitantly: "My subordinates have taken over the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Who will the Internal Intelligence Bureau be handed over to?"
"You are still in charge of the Internal Intelligence Bureau, and the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are left to the left and right censors. You are only responsible for checking things for them." Liu Heng said.
Chen Dali reacted after hearing these words.
His position as the director of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is only a temporary position, mainly to help the Metropolitan Procuratorate get on the right track. Most of the members of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are filled by personnel from the Internal Intelligence Bureau. As the director of the Internal Intelligence Bureau, he sits in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. , the left and right censors would not encounter too much resistance when managing the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"Understood?" Liu Heng asked.
Chen Dali nodded and said: "I understand, my subordinates will help several imperial censors to straighten out the newly established Metropolitan Procuratorate as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, this is not against you, nor against the Intelligence Bureau, but to put a shackle on the necks of all officials under the rule of the Tiger Banner. The Tiger Banner is just a nascent local armed force that cannot withstand repeated attacks by moths. , you should know very well what the Ming Dynasty is like now. If the Tiger Flag becomes like the Ming Dynasty, we will kill ourselves without anyone taking action." Liu Heng was worried that Chen Dali would think too much, so he Explained to him.
Chen Dali nodded vigorously and said, "My lord, let it go, and all your subordinates will understand."
At this time, an attendant from the attendant team came in from outside with a secret letter in his hand.
"Lord, this is the secret letter that was just sent."
As he spoke, he held up the secret letter in his hands and handed it to Liu Heng.
Liu Heng received the secret letter.
First, he took a look at the lacquered opening on it, and after confirming that it was correct, he used a dagger to open the secret letter along the lacquered opening, and pulled out the paper with the contents written on it.
After reading the contents of the secret letter, Liu Heng raised his head and said to Chen Dali who was sitting on the bench: "You go back first. When the new chief envoy takes office, you go directly to see him."
"Yes." Chen Dali stood up, saluted and left the signing room.
Liu Heng read the contents of the secret letter again, then put it down and said to Zhao Wu in the room: "Bring the map of Liaodong."
After hearing this, Zhao Wu walked to the next room.
It didn't take long. When he walked out of it, he had a map of Liaodong in his hand.
The map is spread out on the table.
Liu Heng looked for the location of Pi Island on the map, then Tieshan, Yizhou, Kuandian, and finally Zhenjiang.
"Send a letter to Pidao," Liu Heng looked away from the map and said to the attendant in front of him, "If we encounter the pseudo-golden army that conquers North Korea, we are allowed to abandon Tieshan and return to Pidao to take advantage of the warships. We must keep the enemy out of Phi Island and ensure the safety of Phi Island."
The attendant took a charcoal pen and quickly wrote down what Liu Heng said in a small notebook.
"That's it. Arrange for someone to send the order quickly." Liu Heng said to the attendant in front of him.
The attendant turned and left.
Liu Heng looked at the Liaodong map on the table again.
Because Liaodong was the territory of slave thieves, Huzi Banner spent two years drawing this map, thanks to the help of some people in Dongjiang Town.
"Huang Taiji is really uneasy." Liu Heng pointed his finger at a certain location on the map.
If the old slave was still alive, he would never attack Korea so quickly. The Tiger Flag could have a few more years to run Pi Dao and drive a nail behind the counterfeit gold.
