Magistrate Shi spoke impassionedly and his mouth went dry. Finally stopped to take a sip of tea.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Xian quickly expressed her stance.

She coughed twice and said: "With Master Shi's ability, I believe that Master Shi will be able to manage Minbei Mansion well and lead the people of Minbei Mansion to live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing."

She continued: "In this case, I will appoint you as the new magistrate of Northern Fujian Prefecture, with a probation period of three months. After three months, if you pass the assessment in all aspects, you will be promoted to full position."

This was her plan from the beginning, so that no one would mess around. This matter has just begun to be implemented, and she has to make it clear to Magistrate Shi.

"Probationary period? Recruitment?" Magistrate Shi asked with some confusion, "May I ask Your Majesty, what does this mean? I don't understand."

Is it because he has been isolated from the world for too long or something? Why can't he understand His Majesty's words?

What His Majesty said was something he had never heard or seen before. I don't know what the specific meaning is, whether it is what he thought.

Wen Xian pursed her lips and smiled and said: "This is the system of our new dynasty. All officials in the imperial court, regardless of their official position, whether they are new or transferred, will have a three-month probation period after they arrive at the post.

During these three months, a comprehensive assessment will be conducted on the officials in this position. If he fails to meet the court's requirements, he will go back to where he came from. "

This means that if the newly appointed officials fail to meet the requirements, they will retire as civilians. For those who are transferred like County Magistrate Shi, if they fail to meet the requirements, they will be returned to their original posts.

Wen Xian didn't want any of her officials to be dawdling, so she had to do practical things and serve the people.

Of course, not only the court is a supervisor, but also the people are supervisors. If something is wrong, people can supervise and report it.

Magistrate Shi's eyes brightened, and he became interested: "What if the people deliberately cause harm and slander the imperial officials?"

People's hearts are unpredictable, and it is not ruled out that there will be such evil-minded people.

It would not be a good thing if officials were manipulated by such people and would shrink back and dare not use their fists for a long time.

"If the common people lie about the military situation and slander the imperial officials, they will be fined a small amount of money, and they will be imprisoned in prison and convicted according to the circumstances." Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "So, Mr. Shi, you don't have to worry too much. Such harm to others is not beneficial to oneself. I believe not many people will do it.”

There are more severe punishments she hasn't mentioned yet, that is, if the circumstances are serious, these people will be exiled, beheaded, etc.

Under such circumstances, if there are still people who risk their lives to slander the imperial officials, then she can only say one word of admiration.

Hearing this, County Magistrate Shi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is a wonderful plan. Your Majesty is really good at it. I admire it."

In this way, there is no need to worry about too many officials not fulfilling their duties, nor too much slander.

It is definitely impossible to have none at all and can only be reduced to the minimum.

Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "So, Master Shi will accept this assessment?"

She thought she would have to waste more words, but she didn't expect Magistrate Shi to accept it so easily, which was really surprising.

Immediately, Magistrate Shi stood up and kowtowed and said, "My lord, I have received the order to thank you."

He was quite happy to try out the effect of such an unexpected arrangement.

I think that Shi Jian has worked hard for so many years and is worthy of his heart, the court, and the people. He has no reason for others to catch him.

"Master Shi, please get up quickly." Wen Xian stood up and gave him a virtual support, and continued, "It is really a blessing for the people in northern Fujian that Master Shi can come to Northern Fujian. As for Guandong County, the county magistrate was appointed as the county magistrate. Order, I will send someone to deliver the order later."

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that she didn't even have an imperial edict, let alone a jade seal.

Fortunately, she still had a think tank, so she temporarily drafted the imperial edict of appointment using the memorial she had made a few days ago, and stamped it with a private seal.

Only then did people hurry up and send them to Guandong County. At the same time, she also brought her letter to Shen Cheng.

And Magistrate Shi, oh, no, it should be Magistrate Shi, Lord Shi.

Mr. Shi stayed up all night on his first day in office and roughly sorted out the situation in Minbei Mansion. Early the next morning, we started the aftermath work in a big way. With Master Shi joining in, Wen Xian finally had her hands free and began to follow around the Minbei Mansion.

Moreover, she also roughly planned where the future factory should be built.

Later, on the third day after Lord Shi came, Wu Zhong and his son led the Wu family army to continue their expedition north.

The great cause of reunification has not yet been completed, and they must continue to work hard.

Of course, they left two hundred Wu family troops behind when they left, specifically responsible for assisting the Northern Fujian Prefecture in daily patrols and supervision.

Supervision is actually not the focus. The focus is on training the new city defenders and protecting Wen Xian's safety.

After things are arranged in the Northern Fujian Prefecture, Wen Xian will follow in the footsteps of the Wu family army and head north.

But before she left, she had to meet the new and loyal defenders.

Therefore, after planning the construction of Minbei Mansion, Wen Xian went to the military camp of the city defenders without stopping and began to select new generals of the city defenders.

That's right, even if there is a rebellion ahead, Wen Xian still wants to select new generals in the city defenders.

After all, she couldn't catch the Wu family army forever without using these people.

In this case, the Wu family's army will fight less and less.

Even the two hundred Wu family troops left by Wu Zhong had to be taken with her when she went north so that they could be returned to Wu Zhong.

What she admired the most was Wen Zhan. Every time he captured a city, he made the people in it obedient and didn't dare to have a rebellious heart at all.

Although, this was suppressed by force.

The selection of the generals of the city defense army is very simple. First, they must have high force value, and secondly, they must understand management and the art of war.

Therefore, in the first stage, Wen Xian organized a martial arts competition.

The top three winners in the competition will take the written test.

She will watch these competitions as a judge, and also invites Wu Jiajun, special forces, and An Ye to jointly select the judges.

Not to mention, Wen Xian discovered a lot of malleable talents during a martial arts competition.

Among the top three winners, there was actually one who was born from the grassroots.

This man's name is Si Yu, and he is the first place winner in this martial arts competition.

He was not in the city defense army before. I heard that he took the initiative to sign up during the recruitment.

Unfortunately, they were defeated without even participating in the battle.

After the defeat, Si Yu did not think about leaving. Instead, he continued to stay in the city defenders and became an unknown soldier.

It was this martial arts competition that made him stand out and made Wen Xian see him.

Wen Xian is extremely interested in Si Yu. She has a hunch that Si Yu may be a hero who has not yet grown up in troubled times.

If she didn't get involved, maybe he would be the dominant figure in a few years.

Of course, this is just her imagination. How specific it is, we still have to observe it to know.
