The next day, Qinzhou Prefect’s Mansion.
Su Yi has returned with his troops and is about to return his orders to Xiao Yuan.
Outside the meeting hall, there were guards standing on both sides. Su Yi was wearing a general's armor and had a war sword hanging on his waist. When he arrived here, he paused slightly, then rolled his eyes, began to take off the war sword from his waist, and handed it to the guards for safekeeping.
There were many people on both sides of the hall. After he came in, he didn't care about anything else. He walked forward quickly, knelt down on one knee towards Xiao Yuan who was standing above him, clasped his fists and saluted: "The bandits of Black Dragon Village have been destroyed. , the last general, Su Yi, is here to report back to you!"
"General, please get up." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan walked over quickly, and then reached out to help him up.
"Thank you, sir." Su Yi said hurriedly.
After he stood up, Xiao Yuan looked at him with a smile, and then said: "I have already read the general's battle report. The planning between them is heartbreaking. Please take a seat."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to the left and right: "Everyone, please take your seats."
In the hall, there were also Peng Shuang, Ye Cheng, Liu Yuzhi and Liu Changqing. At this time, Liu Changqing had changed into a clean official uniform and had washed and tidied up.
Xiao Yuan also sat back on the main seat above, and then said: "We will all work together in the future, let's get to know each other."
As he spoke, he began to introduce: "This is General Su Yi."
"This is Mr. Liu, Liu Yuzhi."
"This is General Peng Shuang."
"This is Liu Changqing, Lord Liu."
"This is General Ye Cheng Ye."
He introduced them one by one, and everyone bowed to each other.
Under such circumstances, Su Yi's heart also changed. The prefect had already regarded himself as his true subordinate. Thinking of this, he made up his mind.
After finishing this, Xiao Yuan said again: "Everyone must also understand the current situation in Qinzhou. There are too many problems to be dealt with. Corrupt officials need to be investigated. There are huge problems in internal affairs. However, the elimination of bandits and the elimination of bullies are the main problems. These two issues are the top priority at this stage. Therefore, my official intention is to order the Qinzhou army to completely suppress the bandits. At the same time, I will order all the counties and regions to eliminate the bullies and restore justice to the people."
It can be said that when he came to Qinzhou, what he inherited was a complete mess.
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other first, and then Liu Changqing raised his hands and said, "Sir, bandits and bullies, this is indeed a top priority, but it may be difficult to implement it in all counties."
"Master Liu, continue." Xiao Yuan signaled.
Liu Changqing explained: "Take Lin County as an example. County officials and soldiers often collude with local bullies, and there are not a few who call themselves brothers. What's more, these officials often blackmail the people and set up various pretexts to collect benefits. If you want to purge them, Bully, I’m afraid these officers and soldiers have already informed them before they take action.”
"Didn't you take care of it before?" Xiao Yuan asked.
"Of course they have control." Liu Changqing said helplessly: "Xiaguan has dismissed the officers and soldiers in the county many times, but after one dismissal, the next one is still the same. To put it bluntly, the people of Qin say that the officers and soldiers are raised by bullies. This is directly related to the original state government officials and decrees.”
The government allows bullies to run rampant. The bullies bribe officers and soldiers, collude with others, and exploit the people. This has created the current situation, which is indeed very difficult to deal with.
"Well..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and then said immediately: "If this is the case, then set up a new official office!"
"New official office?" People were a little confused.
Xiao Yuan explained: "The Wuwei Mansion was established to hunt down criminals, catch thieves, investigate criminals, and protect the safety of the place."
"My lord, what you mean is..."
Xiao Yuan continued: "Soldiers are drawn from the army. Qinzhou Wuwei Mansion has a thousand people, two hundred people at the county level, and fifty people in each township."
This was based on the police department in his previous life. If this official office was established, Qinzhou Wuwei Prefecture would be equivalent to the Public Security Bureau, each county or branch would be equivalent to the police station, and the township would be the police station.
After listening to his explanation, Liu Yuzhi said: "According to your Excellency, the number of sergeants transferred is a thousand in the capital and two hundred in each county. Qinzhou has 21 counties under its jurisdiction, and together with the villages and towns, the number is nearly nine thousand. "
Nine thousand people were scattered throughout Qinzhou to set up Wuweifu to protect the place, which should be enough.
Xiao Yuan also glanced at a few people and asked directly: "Do you have any opinions on this?"
People looked at each other again, and then they all raised their hands and said, "We have no objection."
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan's eyes also flashed, and he said seriously: "Since you all have no objections, my order will be conveyed to the army immediately."
The county officials have become corrupt and this is the only way to punish the bullies.
After finishing speaking, he added: "Deploy three thousand people from each of Peng Shuang and Su Yi, and record the names of these soldiers. After that, there will be a formal establishment."
"No!" Peng Shuang and Su Yi responded in unison.
After finalizing the deal with the bullies, Xiao Yuan said again: "My determination to govern Qinzhou is unquestionable. While eliminating the bullies, the Qinzhou army will completely suppress the bandits. Within three months, all banditry must be eliminated... …”
As soon as he said this, a guard walked in quickly, then stepped in and saluted: "My lord."
"Speak." Xiao Yuan spoke concisely and to the point.
"Master Chang Shi Guo, please see me."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let him come in."
"No." The guard took the order and left.
Not long after, Guo Qian walked over quickly in official uniform. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw so many people inside. He was stunned for a moment, then bowed down to Xiao Yuan and saluted, "Sir."
"Master Guo, there is no need to be polite. What's the matter?" Xiao Yuan asked directly.
"This..." Guo Qian looked at the others again and seemed a little embarrassed to speak.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan waved his hand and said, "Hey? What's the matter? Mr. Guo just said it's okay."
"Yes." Guo Qian responded, and then said: "My lord said before, the matter of decorating the prefecture's mansion..."
Originally, he wanted to say that he had already thought of a reason to make money, but before he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan interrupted him directly: "Forget it, let's drop this matter, the current prefect's mansion is quite good. "
"Wha...what, your lord, you mean..." Guo Qian didn't respond.
"My officer said, no need to repair. Does Mr. Guo have anything else to do?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him.
"Oh, no, it's okay." Guo Qian swallowed, then glanced at the others again, then saluted and said, "Then, I'll take my leave now."
"Yes." Xiao Yuan had no intention of keeping him.
There was no such long history as him in the state capital's affairs. No matter how stupid Guo Qian was, he still felt that there was something wrong. What's more, Liu Changqing was about to be questioned and executed, so why did he appear here again.
His thoughts were changing and he quietly retreated.
