The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 704 Linde Three Years
In the last year of the 24th year of Yong'an, Zhu Zhankun, the third emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the temple name Xizong, unjustly killed the King of Chu and Yu Yanyi who had made great contributions to protecting the country.

Marquis of Wuxiang, former Minister of Dali Temple, Yang Qingyuan Xingyi soldiers, punished by heaven.

On behalf of the common people of heaven and earth, the emperor was abolished and a new emperor was established.

The ministers headed by Qian Muqian, a senior scholar, supported Zhu Zhanhou, the thirteenth son of Emperor Taizong Wen, to succeed him.

The following year, the name was changed to Linde.

In the first year of Linde, the emperor offered sacrifices to the heavens to change the yuan, Tongwei manifested real people, Taoist priest Zhang Sanfeng came to the gods to congratulate the emperor, the world will finally be settled, and the hearts of the people will be peaceful.

As the greatest contributor to the new king's ascension to the throne and the start of the New Deal, Yang Qingyuan's voice and name seemed to have disappeared into the vast rivers and lakes.

There are only legends about him in the gods, but he has never been seen.

According to what he said, the affairs of the court are too tiring. He has only been in the court for five years from the Imperial Academy, and he has been busy with state affairs most of the time. minister.

Take the flying fairy to travel, embrace the bright moon and die forever.

He was so chic that Li Xunhuan, the third in command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the imperial censor Li Xunhuan was so envious that he didn't know what to say.

Time flies, and it is three years in a blink of an eye.

The capital of the gods seems to be more prosperous, and the flow of people between the city and the city is dense.

The East Market and the West Market are the economic centers of Shendu, and they are also important trading places for Dazhou and the whole world.

Dongshi, the capital of the gods, is mostly "treasures from all over the world", and most of the people living in the surrounding squares are royal families and dignitaries.All kinds of precious medicinal materials, rare treasures, mink fur, brocade fur, and gallant horses are dazzling.

While the West Market mainly sells daily necessities such as clothing, food, and medicine, it is more prosperous than the East Market, with many high-rise buildings and various shops.

Banks, pharmacies, iron shops, porcelain, silk, bookstores, fruit shops, coal shops, restaurants, teahouses, and rice shops are everywhere.

Merchants from Japan, Goguryeo, 36 countries in the Western Regions and even Pekan came here to do business.

Therefore, Dongshi is also known as "Gold Market".

The prosperity of commerce and trade has greatly increased the tax revenue of the court, and the proportion of commercial tax has also increased accordingly.

Although it is a simple sentence, it does not know how much blood is contained in it.

Two years ago, Wang Huazheng was appointed as a Bachelor of Zhongji Temple, which officially opened the prelude to the New Deal.

Every innovation means infringing on some interests, so reform is accompanied by bloodshed.

The son of Linde, the emperor, is holy and wise, and he governs with a bow, entrusting the scholars with state affairs.

Cao Xueyang, Marquis of Pingyang, took the Yinxin of Marquis of Wu Township to control the two armies of Yulin and Longwu, and acted as the sword of the New Deal to protect the law, keeping Gyeonggi and even the world in peace.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, although the New Deal has ups and downs, it is considered smooth.

Today's Great Zhou has gradually begun to look like the beginning of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. If the New Deal can last for ten years, it will gradually reach a state of harmony between the government and the people!

It was dusk, and the Chinese pen scribes in Zhongji Hall were still busy.

"Brother Dehui, I came back from inspecting Qizhou, here is the list!"

After Li Xunhuan handed the list to Wang Hua, he spread it out on the side, and the writers and clerks around him were not too surprised by the unruly behavior of the right-handed censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This person's ability, martial arts, and character are all recognized by the world, but so is his unrestrained style.

"Another group of people have been exiled, and they will never be returned! The money is touching!"

In this investigation, a total of one Qizhou governor, one county guard, five county magistrates, and several other officials were found, suspected of perverting the law and corruption.

Wang Hua couldn't help but shook his head when he saw the results of the investigation of officials by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now that the imperial court is rich, the salaries issued to officials are more than ten times those of Emperor Taizong's time, but there are still some people who are not satisfied.

The salary of a seventh-rank official is now nearly 1000 taels.Including the ice charcoal subsidy issued by the imperial court, his actual annual income is definitely outside 1000 taels.

You must know that the price of one mu of good paddy fields is 30 taels, and its annual salary is worth more than [-] mu of high-quality paddy fields, which is enough for an official's family to live a decent life!

But there are some people who don't want this dignity, and want to compare their own neck with the knife of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is stronger!
The current Metropolitan Procuratorate has gradually become independent from the pavilion, exercising the power of supervision, and only needs to notify and report, without requesting a separate order.

"But Brother Dehui, Qingyuan's strategy of maintaining integrity with a high salary is still useful! I remember when I dared to start investigating the government, the amount of corruption was shocking. Isn't it much better now?!"

Li Xunhuan has seen all of this. In Linde's early years, most of the people involved in the investigation of corruption were extremely greedy and evil, and the most corrupt people could be as many as one million taels.

Some officials are well-known, but they don't know how much they have been corrupt behind the scenes.

Before the New Deal, the officials of Dazhou, including most of the upright officials, had two unspoken rules of gray income.

Fold the color and fire consumption, pour the tip and kick the dendrobium.

For the convenience of national statistics, the central government requires all localities to melt and cast the collected scattered silver into standard "silver ingots". The loss caused by the melting and casting process is called "fire consumption". From a technical perspective, it is about 2% loss.However, local officials will increase this ratio and profit from it.

Kicking the dendrobium with the tip of the dendrobium is to kick the dendrobium vigorously with your feet when checking and accepting the public grain. The grain on the top of the dendrobium will fall down but not fall down. The grain that flows down is called "loss" and put into the local officials in the pocket.

These two unspoken rules were acquiesced by the imperial court from top to bottom.

Gein, during the period of Taizu, the salaries of officials were too low, and they could not survive without gray income!Unless everyone can be like Hai Gangfeng on Blue Star.

I don’t eat meat every day, don’t take a sedan chair when I go out, grow vegetables by myself, and patch up official robes.

But how many Hai Gangfeng can there be? !
If you want the horse to run, you need the horse to eat grass.

Therefore, when the cabinet and the senior officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate jointly discussed the matter, they put forward a limit. The expanded meeting of the cabinet proposed to adopt a lenient attitude towards officials who were corrupted before the New Deal.

However, after the new salary is issued, those who still do not restrain themselves will be dealt with seriously!
At the beginning, most officials, especially those at the grassroots level, took this matter to heart. Officials were checked every year, and that was the case.

Therefore, the number of people detected by the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the first year was shocking.

With the support of the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has no scruples, it should be caught and punished.

But having said that, the effect of the new policy is still not obvious. This year, the number of corrupt people detected is much smaller, and most of them do not exceed [-] taels. This can be regarded as an improvement in the system and official administration!
You can't become fat if you eat one bite, and it's even more impossible for officials to be clear all at once, so it's gratifying on the way forward.

"I don't know where brother Yang is at ease right now!?"

Although Wang Hua was mature and prudent, he also showed nostalgia when he heard the words.

Although Yang Qingyuan did not directly participate in the New Deal, there are Yang Qingyuan's shadows everywhere in the New Deal.

……

Under the setting sun, the lintel of Dali Temple is still solemn and solemn.

Although his re-establisher is no longer here, his successor is still doing very well.

People go and politics don't stop!

The students of Dali Temple Criminal Law College are also continuously sending talents to Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and even the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The current Dali Temple is in charge of the inspector Dali Temple Secretary Di Zhiyuan. Originally, he wanted to directly promote Di Zhiyuan to Dali Temple Secretary, but he is too young!

Di Zhiyuan didn't have the great achievements that must be rewarded like Yang Qingyuan, nor did he have the prestige and reputation like Wang Hua. He was only [-] years old, and he was promoted to the third rank.

On the contrary, Song Huifu, who came from Dali Temple, was promoted to Qiuguan Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment one step ahead of schedule.

Not only talent, but age and qualifications are also difficult to ignore in Da Zhou's officialdom.

With the arrival of unitary time, the gate of Dali Temple began to close slowly.

A fast horse galloped in from the city gate.

The gods are galloping on the road, and it is not allowed to rush the horse, except for rushing.

"Dali Temple, hurry up to [-] miles! Please get out of the way!"

A Dali Temple field worker wearing a black uniform of Dali Temple with a bar on the cuff sped past, shouting to avoid it.

Half an hour later, the originally closed gate of Dali Temple opened again.

Dali Temple, which had already been turned off, lit candles again, and Dali Temple's field staff borrowed a post station for [-] miles to rush, and something must have happened.

Di Zhiyuan sat in the side hall wearing the uniform of Dali Temple, and below him were the six departments of convicting crimes, arresting robbers, Guangwen, Mingqiu, Tianzhi, and suppressing prisons.

Part of the original robbery department and Chahaosi under the leadership of Song Huifu followed him to the Ministry of Punishment.

Tie Chengxuan cupped his hands to Hu Die for the head of the robbery department.

"Master Hu, I didn't know it was an urgent matter, so I rushed eight hundred miles."

There was no news of Ji Yaohua's retreat in the East China Sea. Since then, the Guangwen Department has been represented by Hu Die, and Mrs. Mingzhu has also been in charge of the Guangwen Department for a period of time. But after Yang Qingyuan left, Ji Mingzhu also left and lived in seclusion at the foot of Wudang Mountain.

Now Guangwen Division is once again represented by Hu Die.

"Lord Di, all the department heads, the Dali Temple Branch Office in Yangzhou has issued a series of major cases. The Dali Temple Branch Office in Yangzhou and the Liufanmen Branch Branch in Yangzhou jointly reported the case. Please send someone from the Dali Temple to investigate the major case!"

Said Hu Die handed the paper in his hand to Di Zhiyuan!

After Di Zhiyuan took the paper, his eyes were fixed, and then he passed the paper to everyone.

Nearly [-] people have been killed in sudden murders in four counties in Yangzhou. However, the six gates of Yangzhou and the Dali Temple in Yangzhou belong to each other, and there has been no progress so far.

At this moment, people in Yangzhou are panic-stricken. The head of the Yangzhou Six-Fanmen branch is arresting the head. The chairman of the Yangzhou Dali Temple branch feels that it is difficult to solve the case, so he asks Dali Temple for help!
"From this point of view, this case is really not simple!" The one who spoke was Su Youming, the new head of the Mingqiu Division of Dali Temple.

He was from the School of Criminal Law, and even Di Zhiyuan's disciple.

Being able to take over the position of the Mingqiu Sizhu in Dali Temple without avoiding suspicion, one can know that it is extraordinary.

Su Youming's words were not just nonsense.

If you change to another yamen, you may suspect that your subordinates are incompetent and other reasons.

But those who can go out from Dali Temple to serve as the chairman of the Dali Temple's state branches are all the elites of the Dali Temple headquarters.

Maybe they will go bad due to corruption, but they will never turn into vegetables in such a short period of time!

If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't find any clues, they definitely wouldn't ask for help from Shendu headquarters.

"It seems that we can only take one trip!" Di Zhiyuan said after considering, "Su Youming, you will lead the team this time!"

"Yes! My lord!" Su Youming scratched his head after receiving the order, "My lord, I have to ask someone to help me make this trip!"

Su Youming is a typical partial-education student, and his skill points are all in the way of criminal investigation.

Although he is proficient in criminal investigation, his martial arts are not as good as his teacher Di Zhiyuan. He can only be called physical fitness, and he may not even be able to catch a thief.

Di Zhiyuan looked at the mascots, one big and one young, present here.

Of course, this is not referring to Xiaoheixiaobai, but Ye Jianhan, the head of the Prison Department of Dali Temple, and Lao Xin, the head of the Tianzhi Department.

Well, although Ye Jianhan is unreliable, he is the number one expert in Dali Temple after all. He is needed in the gods, so let him go, it's not right!
Then... Di Zhiyuan looked at Lao Xin, the director of Tianzhi.

Seeing Di Zhiyuan's actions, Su Lingfeng became faintly excited. Does he have the opportunity to work with this dragon in the word? !

"Old Xin, I don't know if there is a suitable candidate among the disciples of the various sects who will be on duty at Dali Temple this year!"

As soon as Di Zhiyuan opened his mouth, he told Su Lingfeng that he was thinking of farting!

Yang Qingyuan is not here, this is Dali Temple's last trump card, how could he go out to handle the case? !

Lao Xin was born as a clerical officer. Although he changed his career and worked as a general, it didn't affect his ability to do clerical work in the slightest.

"I recommend Dugu Jian, a rotating disciple of the Hengshan School, and Master Jingxuan of the Emei School."

"Dugu Sword is the orphan of the late fairy swordsman Dugu Yun. He has been taught martial arts by Liu Qingzhou, the chief guardian of Hengshan. His martial arts skills were first-rate at that time."

"Master Jingxuan was sent by Emei to replace Nvxia Zhou. Although her martial arts are not brilliant, her foundation is still solid. She ranks first among the eight disciples of Jingzi generation, and she also has the skill of Yuanhua realm. "

Even though the masters who worked in the Tianzhi Department of Dali Temple changed frequently, Lao Xin could still say it casually.

"With these two people going together to assist Master Su, I think it should be enough!"

Su Youming: ...

What am I expecting? !Is it possible that a case can still surprise this boss? !
"That's it! Inform Jingxuan and Lonely Sword, Su Youming, go prepare and pack your bags. After I go to the palace, I will meet the emperor. After I get the order, you can leave immediately."

"Yes!"

……

With the sound of horseshoes, Di Zhiyuan entered the palace before the imperial city was closed.

"Long live, Lord Di of Dali Temple is seeking to see you outside!"

"Xuan!"

Thirteen, who was reading in the imperial study, slowly put down the book.

"Chen Dali Temple Shaoqing Di Zhiyuan sees the superior!"

After meeting Di Zhiyuan, he bowed to Emperor Linde as a sign of etiquette.

This is also one of the New Deal reforms.

The Holy Son of Heaven does not need to show his majesty in this way. A person with hard bones will have a straight waist even if he is kneeling; a person with soft bones will have weak legs even if he is standing.

Therefore, except for special events, kneeling ceremony is canceled even in the usual courts and regular courts.

"I don't know what's urgent for Di Qing to enter the palace late at night!?"

Di Zhiyuan was left behind by Yang Qingyuan, and Shisan always had the greatest kindness towards Master's former subordinates.

"Report to Your Majesty! It was Dali Temple's dereliction of duty! It caused a series of major cases in Yangzhou! Yangzhou Six Gates and the Dali Temple Branch Office jointly asked Dali Temple for help, and asked Dali Temple to send people to solve the case!"

Shisan was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said, "This is not the crime of Dali Temple and the Six Gates. Even if we can really monitor the world, who can guarantee that good people will suddenly have evil thoughts? Di Qing doesn't have to blame himself. Then the cabinet will draw up an order to give the commissioner of Dali Temple the right to investigate major cases, and the local government in Yangzhou must do their best to assist and not postpone it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
