Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 282 This Noodle is Delicious
Rest assured of the documents in his hand, Wang Xiaolie raised his head and sighed.

The document was written by Chen Yuyi.Recently, when he went to Xinye, he found that the morale of the army was not as strong as it was a few days ago.One is the rectification of the army, a group of middle and lower-level officers were promoted, but a group of people were also punished.Another one is that Xiangyang's economy has developed rapidly recently, and a large number of scholars have been recruited and appointed as officials.These officials are mixed, good and bad, a group of people are very bad, despised by officers and soldiers.

Putting down the documents, Wang Xiaolie thought for a while, and ordered his soldiers to call Chen Qiudao.

Chen Qiudao entered the official hall and saluted Wang Xiaolie.Wang Xiaolie ordered to sit down.

After Chen Qiudao sat down, Wang Xiaolie said: "After returning from Jingmen, many scholars took refuge and were appointed as officials. In a few months, some officials did a good job, and everyone praised them. But there are still a group of Officials, political affairs are a mess, they only know how to covet the wealth of the people, and there are many complaints from the people."

Chen Qiudao said: "Such things do happen. However, the time is short and cannot be dealt with easily. Our place is different from other places, and many people are not used to it yet. Give them a period of time and see the effect."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Counselor, the people's perception of these people is the perception of us. If we can't deal with it in time, I'm afraid the reputation of the governor will be affected. Those who are not familiar with political affairs can naturally Give time. But there are still some people who are greedy for people's wealth and harm one party, we can't let them run amok! They must be dealt with in time!"

Chen Qiudao thought for a while.Said: "How about the desire to observe?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Qin merged the six kingdoms, with the imperial censor as the three princes, and the officials were checked. Since then, when officials hold office, they are not only evaluated by their superiors, but also supervised by the imperial censor. Now the imperial court is far away from us. It is too far away, and the Zhenfu envoy dismissed the supervisor again, lacking the supervision of officials. In prefectures and counties far away from Xiangyang, officials arrived and acted recklessly. It is impossible to continue like this."

Chen Qiudao said: "The place where the governor is guarding, the imperial court dismisses the superintendent, there should be a deep meaning—"

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "The dismissal of supervisors by the imperial court just means that the imperial court will no longer be in charge of the political affairs of these places, so there is no need to think about it. Since officials are appointed, there must be supervision! How about this, you go back and think about it. Limit ten Within a few days, propose what kind of supervision system we should set up, which officials to appoint, and how to supervise each official. Within three months, we will inspect all states and counties!"

Chen Qiudao thought about it, but he couldn't think of any reason to object.Had no choice but to say yes.

Wang Xiaolie said again: "Supervision is the supervision of officials. I think it is not enough. How do the people think about the government's policies? What benefits and harms do they get? Which policies are welcomed by the people and which policies It is the people who are dissatisfied, and the government should know about it."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie felt that the matter was too complicated.He waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll think about it again. You try your best to think about how to supervise the officials. This matter is extremely important and cannot be delayed!"

Chen Qiudao said yes, turned around and left.

Looking at Chen Qiudao's back, Wang Xiaolie was stunned for a long time.In the past few months, I can say that I have made drastic changes to the previous political system.With the prestige of two big victories, there is basically no resistance.All these changes are too fast, many officials are not used to it, and neither are the people.Moreover, the new political system has many imperfect regulations and many loopholes.How can there be no problem?

Sitting down on the seat, Wang Xiaohun rested his forehead with his hands, deep in thought.

Still too impatient to do things by myself.Although the officials next to me didn't say anything, in fact, many people didn't understand why it was changed.The current Wang Xiaolie is not the former Wang Xiaolie. Officials have opinions and ideas, but they dare not speak up.For many things, contradictions have accumulated over the years.Little by little, and finally a big mistake.

Looking at the sunlight outside the window, Wang Xiaolie straightened up and let out a light breath.

Many things must be changed.Not only must the political system be changed, but also the military system, the economic system, and even the folk customs must be changed.But it should not be too hasty, so that officials and society are not used to it.You can't just change it to this way, and change it to another way before the government and the people are familiar with it.Quite frequent changes will destabilize the whole society.

Standing up, Wang Xiaolie walked a few steps in the hall.I finally decided to put aside the matter in Xiangyang and go to Xinye.

After a year and a half of development, Xinye City has developed rapidly.Due to the large number of troops stationed, there are many shops in the city.Unlike Xiangyang, there are not many surrounding villages, and there are few people. The shops here mainly focus on various consumer industries.There is even more food and drink than in Xiangyang.

Dingniang held Father's sleeve with one hand, and held a small bundle in the other, walking in small steps.He didn't dare to raise his head, but kept looking at the roadside shop with his eyes full of curiosity.

After walking for a while, Chen Qing felt a little tired.He stopped, and said to Zhang Chi's father, Zhang Yan, "I'm really tired from walking. It's hot, so what's the point of walking like this? Why don't you find a place to eat and look for it after noon."

Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "A few days ago I wrote to ask. Erlang is an officer in the army and lives not far from the city. It doesn't take much time to find an acquaintance and ask for directions."

Chen Qing shook his head: "We two big men are tired from walking, let alone Dingniang? Let's find a place to eat first!"

Zhang Yan had no choice but to go in together with Chen Qing and his daughter, seeing a noodle shop next to it.These noodle restaurants are nothing unusual in the city, but not in the countryside.When many country people go to the city, they have to come in first to eat a bowl of noodles.

The three of them found an empty seat and sat down.A boy ran over.

Chen Qingdao: "I heard that your food is delicious here, so give each of us a bowl!"

The servant smiled and said: "Guest officer, we have several kinds of noodles here. One is pulled noodles, twenty yuan a bowl. If you want to add meat, it costs at least five yuan. There is also a kind of noodle cooked in a casserole that is cut with a knife, which is new. Not long after, it cost 25 Wen a bowl. There is also a kind of noodles, vegetables and meat, which are stewed in a pot, which is called stewed noodles. The other kind is fried noodles with eggs added, which is called fried noodles. Fried noodles only cost 25 Wen, but braised noodles cost [-] Wen.”

Chen Qing looked at Zhang Yan, gritted his teeth and said, "We have traveled such a long distance, so we naturally want to eat something better. Let's eat some stewed noodles with meat and vegetables, three big bowls, one bowl for each person!" "

The boy nodded, said good morning, and walked back quickly.

Zhang Yan watched the young man leave, shook his head and said, "The things in Xinye are so expensive! In Xiangyang City, a bowl of ramen is only [-] yuan, and there is a lot of meat!"

Chen Qingdao: "Maybe there are a lot of noodles here, otherwise why are they so expensive? There are soldiers around, so how rich are they?"

The two discussed in low voices.There was no sun in the store, and there was a strong wind, so the sweat on my body dried up quickly.

After a while, the servant brought three bowls of noodles and put them on the table.The three of them looked at it, their complexion was darker, and there was pork mixed in it, as well as beans and celery, which was different from the ramen noodles, sliced ​​noodles, and hand-rolled noodles they ate before.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Qing said to Zhang Yan: "I haven't eaten this noodle before, so I don't know if it's delicious or not."

Zhang Yan said: "You don't know until you eat it. You just said you were hungry, but now that you're on the surface, just eat!"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the chopsticks, took a bite and ate.After eating it and chewing it a few times, he praised: "It really tastes good!"

Chen Qing picked up the chopsticks and said to Ding Niang: "You must be hungry too, just eat."

After finishing speaking, he started to eat.The braised noodles have meat and vegetables, and there is oil inside, which is full of flavor.Compared with ramen and sliced ​​noodles, stewed noodles are more complicated to make, and the price is naturally more expensive.But for farmers, this side is more flavorful.

Zhang Yan was thinking while eating.His son Zhang Chi looked to be 20 years old and was about to get married.In the past, my family was poor and the army was in turmoil, so I didn't have this condition.Now that he is an official, he has to deal with this matter.This time, it was the family members who decided on the Chen family's daughter-in-law, and Zhang Yan specially brought her to Xinye City for a blind date.If there are no accidents, the marriage will be settled.
