after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 1181 Innovation
Chapter 1181 Innovation
After the post-sealing ceremony, Lin Yuesha stayed with Qi Heng in the palace for three days.

Facing the pile of memorials piled up like a hill, the two looked at each other and smiled wryly.

Most of these memorials were sent by officials from all over the capital, with various contents.Officials in the south paid more attention to the flood and the plague that might spread in a large area, and continued to send urgent memorials, and Qi Heng gave priority to reply.

In other places, those who have something to say, those who have nothing to do, write a nonsense and exaggerated bragging article, to the effect that the new emperor is the son of destiny.

"This is not the way to go."

Qi Heng stood up, staring at the memorials piled up like a hill in thought.

Since he took office, the situation of sending officials from various places to send memorials has been changed.

In the past, the county magistrate handed over the documents to the magistrate, and handed over the papers layer by layer. This caused a long delay, and secondly, it was prone to mistakes.

Officials with actual achievements are likely to be obliterated and stolen, so that the flatterers are constantly promoted, and those who have the ability to do practical things cannot change their positions for several years, and have always been a small sesame official.

In addition, officials and officials protect each other, if something happens, Qi Heng will be like a deaf man in the capital, knowing nothing.

In order to rectify this phenomenon, Qi Heng set up special errand runners in several places in the east, west, north, south, and north of Daqi to deliver letters and memorials, and to help those in need deliver letters.

In this way, you can earn enough food and lodging for the official mission, and the remaining money can be used to pay the official mission, which is just incidental and will not delay the business.

Between each city, there are post stations built, and the official messenger only needs to go to one city.

This one trip every day or two is fast, and Qi Heng gets the memorials from various places more efficiently and in a timely manner.

Delivering letters on behalf of Lin Yuesha meant it, and it was also the beginning of Xinqi's development of postal services.

At present, the national medical care and postal services are being gradually improved. Although the general direction is still losing money, it is within the acceptable range, which is better than Lin Yuesha expected.

"The lady still has an idea."

It's just that there are not enough staff now, so I can only help deliver letters. When there are more officials recruited in the future, I can help deliver some food.

Sending souvenirs from the capital to relatives in the Northland does not require a special escort team to deliver them.

"I have a lot of ideas, all recorded in a booklet."

The postal service is a very convenient measure. Lines are drawn on every town and city in Xinqi, and each line forms a network of relationships. In this specific area, there are dedicated people responsible for delivery.

At present, it is necessary to increase manpower in various places. The disabled soldiers and their families in the northwest and north are given priority, and the military families are properly taken care of.

The memorials piled up, and Lin Yuesha watched with Qi Heng for a few days, feeling very boring.

"These flattering articles are a waste of my time."

Lin Yuesha thought that it would be better to find talented and learned people in the Imperial Academy to take charge of this matter, and to classify these memorials first.

Divide them into regions first, and then subdivide them. Whether the people's livelihood issues are other issues, mark them on the baskets and put them away in different categories, so that it will be much easier for Qiheng to review them.

Throw all those bragging aside and save it for lighting a fire.

In addition, there needs to be a confidential reporting mechanism.

The requirements of the Ministry of Officials for officials from all over the country are to go to the capital for inspections every six years, and those who have been evaluated as excellent for consecutive years can be promoted to official positions as appropriate.

These six years have not been a short period of time. If corruption prevails in a certain place and no one reports it, Qi Heng will always be kept in the dark.

The system is gradually improving, and the new laws must also be revised.

In the capital, a doctor was found to see men and women in advance, so that abortions occurred frequently, and those female fetuses were drowned and abandoned after birth.

The common people value filial piety, and parents are heaven. It seems that children are sold and abandoned as they should.

There have been some changes in the law. If a child is sold, they are not allowed to take care of their parents. If they abandon a child, they must eat in prison. If they kill a female fetus, they will be released after three years.

There are troublemakers in the poor mountains and rivers, and the use of illegal activities is prohibited in various places. There are many rewards for those who report.

"This unhealthy trend must be changed."

This is Lin Yuesha's attitude. Although patriarchy is the general environment in this era, and the bad habits that have been passed down for hundreds of years or even longer are difficult to change, but she has the right to speak out when something touches the bottom line.

Perhaps, this is the benefit of sitting in a high position, saying what one says.

"What the lady says counts."

Qi Heng pampered Lin Yuesha ignorantly, wrote the imperial decree that day, and arranged his subordinates to various places to implement it.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and Enke will be opened on March [-] next year. Zhang Qinger and Hu Mian have already come to the capital to prepare for Enke.

Lin Yuesha's godfather, Mr. Zhang, has now taken the high position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and is the second-rank official.

The days of pregnancy are like years.

In the first three months, Lin Yuesha saw red several times, and she had a false alarm every time, so that she couldn't work hard, and lay down to rest every day, feeling that her joints were going to rust.

Three months later, Lin Yuesha began to improve, and her morning sickness gradually decreased. She had a big appetite, and her appetite was like a bottomless pit of insatiability. She had to eat six or seven meals a day.

Qi Heng was busy with government affairs, leaving many trivial matters to King Luo, and even Xiao Chenggui volunteered to help.

As long as he has free time, Qi Heng stays in Qi Mansion, accompanying Lin Yuesha to raise her baby.

At the end of the year, Lin Yuesha was six months pregnant. Her stomach was bigger than many women who had given birth, and she felt very strenuous to walk.

Seeing this, Yan Yan specially made a strap for her to support her stomach. After wearing the strap, Lin Yuesha felt a little more relaxed.

In the sixth month of her pregnancy, Lin Yuesha's legs and feet were often swollen, and she couldn't fit her shoes at all, so she had to make new ones.

This year's Lunar New Year's Eve is different from previous years. It can be regarded as the first year that the country's name has been changed to Xinqi.

The flood in the south receded, and officials dealt with the situation, and decided to build water conservancy and dig river channels to divert the water to the north.

There is no war, food prices are stable, and in the twelfth lunar month, in order to pray for the fetus in Lin Yuesha's womb, Qi Heng gave subsidies to farmers who raised pigs, allowing the people to buy pork at a very low price.

In the past, before the Chinese New Year, pork belly cost [-] renminbi a catty, but this year the court subsidized half of it, only [-] renminbi.

People who were reluctant to buy meat also grabbed pork belly and were overjoyed.

Not only pork, rice, noodles, grain, oil and other daily necessities are all subsidized.

At first, some people didn't believe it, so they took a step back. When they realized it, the neighbors had already stocked up a lot.

At the end of the year, the prices did not rise but fell, and the common people got benefits and smiled.

Qi Heng issued another decree that officials from all over the country should pay attention to the orphans and widows without children, and bring some gifts to visit to ensure that everyone can have a good year.

When they are free, the common people get together to discuss, changing the dynasty, it turned out to be a great thing for them, the emperor and empress are of the same mind, God will bless the new Qi!
