Fortunately, Guo Qian and others left him a huge amount of gold and silver, which could be used for military and political reforms.
As long as he can strengthen Qin, Xiao Yuan is willing to do whatever it takes.
Then, he asked Ji Ping to take him around the Ordnance Department. As he walked, the latter introduced Xiao Yuan to Xiao Yuan.
After leaving here, when he went outside, Ye Cheng saw that the Ordnance Department had received funding. He moved the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but said: "Sir, you set up the Military Guard Office, but we still don't have a serious official office. "
He is the chief officer of Wuwei Mansion and wants to win something for his department. This is normal.
Now, although the official establishment of Wuwei Mansion has been put on the agenda, what about the Mansion? The official office has not yet been determined where it will be located, so how could Ye Cheng not be in a hurry.
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he glanced at him and said with a smile: "I have already discussed this with Shangguan Wenruo. Qinzhou Wuwei Mansion is set up not far from the Prefect's Mansion. Now, there are residential areas there. However, Shangguan has already started negotiating with the homeowners and will buy a place from some people and build it."
"What about... the county-level Wuwei Mansion?" Ye Cheng asked again.
"Don't worry, these will be arranged." Xiao Yuandao.
"That's good, that's good. It's better for adults to think carefully."
Ye Cheng said this first, but soon he added: "But Sir, I would like to ask about the salary of an ordinary sergeant in Wuwei Mansion. I am humbled by my position and have the courage to do so."
"This is still under discussion." Xiao Yuan did not answer directly.
Seeing this, Ye Cheng hurriedly argued: "Sir, you have issued a decree to increase the military pay of the Qinzhou army by three times, but the Wuwei Mansion was also established by you, and your responsibility is to ensure the safety of the place and arrest the murderers. Catching thieves, sergeants below, is very hard and dangerous, so you must not be partial."
"Oh, okay." Xiao Yuan glanced at him angrily and funny, and said, "These will be taken care of. Also, are you not short of officers here?"
"It's missing, of course it's missing." Ye Cheng said, now Qinzhou has changed. Official positions and offices have to be completely renewed. As long as he can fight for it, he is now fighting for it with all his strength.
After finishing speaking, he immediately added: "The sergeants in Wuwei Mansion now are all transferred from the army. They were all soldiers before. They can fight, but there are very few talents in this field to maintain public security in a place, especially Your Excellency, please send some people to Wu Wei Mansion to solve the case and pursue the murderer."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said as he walked: "After purging the bullies, I was planning to disband all the previous officers and soldiers, but I was afraid that there would be some talents among them, so I checked their files. , there are a few people, which are quite interesting.”
"Oh? Dare you ask an adult to explain something." Ye Cheng also became interested.
Xiao Yuan continued: "These people used to be outstanding officers and soldiers. They were quite good at investigating murder cases, but most of them were transferred to remote villages because they offended the local county magistrate."
"Among them, there is a man named Qi Ying who used to work in Fengyang County. Although he was young, he repeatedly solved murder cases during his tenure. There were many cases that had no clues, and he was able to uncover them. He found the real culprit, but he stood firm. Because he was chasing the culprit, he offended a big family, and the big family bribed the county magistrate with gold and silver, but he still insisted on investigating the case, so he was transferred to Niujia Village..."
After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he also looked at Ye Cheng and asked with a smile: "How about this person? Do you want this person?"
"Think about it, think about it, of course I think about it. The Wuwei Mansion is short of such officers now. Sir, I hope you can make the decision for your humble position." Ye Cheng said repeatedly.
"Okay, these people will all be transferred to Wuwei Mansion." Xiao Yuan made the decision directly. Of course, he valued this department of Wuwei Mansion very much.
Two more days passed.
Fengyang County, Niujia Village.
Outside the village, Qi Ying lay leisurely on a hillside with her hands behind her head and a weed in her mouth.
The farmhouse in front of him was picturesque, but he had no intention of appreciating it. Ever since he was transferred here, he had almost fallen ill, and he often lamented his bad luck and encountered corrupt officials.
At this moment, his follower ran over in a panic. Before he could get close, he shouted loudly: "Brother Qi, Brother Qi——"
Hearing the cry of the follower, Qi Ying rolled her eyes helplessly, and then sat up reluctantly: "Stop screaming, whose cattle are they, whose crops have they trampled, or whose crops are they? The folks’ chickens have been lost.”
The villagers are simple and honest. After he arrived here, there were no murder cases. All he dealt with were trivial matters. Two days ago, an aunt came to complain. It was said that the old buffalo of Old Man Zhang's family trampled on her farmland. She wants Qi Ying to make the decision for her.
How could old man Zhang admit it? He was holding the old cow, and the aunt was holding the basket. The two of them were arguing in front of Qi Ying, blushing and thick-necked.
You can imagine what kind of scene it was. Qi Ying had a headache at that time.
And this kind of thing happens from time to time.
Today, he thought it was the same as usual, but when the follower ran over, he said out of breath: "No... no, Brother Qi, it's... it's an official document from the state government..."
"What!?" Qi Ying was surprised. Even when he was still working in the county, it was impossible for him to have official documents from the state government.
He couldn't help but asked quickly: "Do you know anything?"
The follower shook his head, took a breath, and then took out the letter and said, "I just heard from the person who came here that it was written by the prefect and asked to deliver it to you personally."
"What! Taishou?" Qi Ying was even more shocked. With his status, how could he possibly know the prefect, and how could he alert the highest official of Qinzhou.
His eyes widened immediately, and after being stunned, he immediately grabbed the letter, unfolded it, and read it carefully.
This is a transfer order, with Xiao Yuan's official seal stamped at the end.
Qi Ying was not an illiterate person. After carefully reading the order, his eyes widened with a look of shock and disbelief.
Seeing his expression, the follower was very curious and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Qi, what does it say? Why did the prefect give you a letter?"
Hearing this, Qi Ying came back to his senses. He swallowed hard first, and then his voice trembled a little: "The prefect personally ordered me to be transferred to Qinzhou Wuwei Mansion."
"What?" The follower raised his eyebrows in confusion and said, "Brother Qi, what kind of official office is this Wuwei Mansion? Why have I never heard of it?"
Wuwei Mansion is still being officially established, and the followers don't know about it. This is not surprising.
When Qi Ying heard this, he said: "No matter what official office it is, it is conceivable that the prefect has ordered it here."
"Then, Brother Qi..."
"What are you waiting for! Let's go!" Qi Ying was excited.
He knew in his heart that this time, he might be in trouble.
