What happened in the main hall quickly spread throughout the official circle of the capital. Many people knew that Wang Qin's death was actually related to the Ling family. The officials who returned home after going to court immediately sent people to inquire about the news. Soon, they

Got this.

In the Ling Mansion, Ling Shang was in a very depressed and angry mood. Not only did the officials do this to Ling Zhian, but treating him like this was a blatant attack on the Ling Mansion. What made him even more unbelievable was that his three

son.

When did that frail scholar who could only recite poems, paint and pursue Princess Xiuning actually understand the affairs of the imperial court? Even if he gained a certain degree of popular support in Jiangzhou City and improved the living conditions of the local people, he just heard today

That old man from the Wang family actually said that he built a Ling Mansion in Jiangzhou City, and the 10 million taels he said were just taxes from Jiangzhou City?

This made him feel incredible and deeply suspicious of this third son whom he had not liked since childhood.

Thinking of the end of the year, he sighed and said that although the fourth child had achieved certain results in Jiangzhou City, he didn't know if he would get used to it after staying in that remote place for more than two years. At that time, Butler Yang said that the third young master was very good.

, there is no need for the master to worry.

"Steward Yang!" Ling Shang shouted, and soon Butler Yang appeared in front of him.

"Steward Yang, let me ask you, you have been to Jiangzhou City, how did that boy do?" Ling Shang asked with a livid face.

"Master, are you talking about today's matter?" Butler Yang replied. As long as the affairs of the government and the opposition were discussed in the main hall, it was not a secret at all, so Butler Yang asked directly.

"Well, tell me, what exactly did he do there?"

Butler Yang thought for a while and said: "Master, the third young master has not done anything big, that is, he has made refined salt, opened a restaurant, introduced vinegar, soy sauce, and spirits, and built a school. It is said that a few months ago, he also started

We built a smelting plant, and the emperor also agreed."

Ling Shang suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at Butler Yang and said, "Have you seen all of these?"

Butler Yang shook his head: "I have never seen the smelting plant before. It is said that the Ling Mansion has also been completed. I just went out to investigate and found that the Ling Mansion and the smelting plant were almost completed. It is said that the whole Jiangzhou City was bustling on the day of the housewarming.

A few days.”

"Since you know everything, why don't you tell me? Also, why don't you write a letter and tell me?" Ling Shang's tone was excited and angry.

Butler Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Master, don't say you don't know, I don't even know. The people we stuffed in to take care of the third young master secretly were all fired or transferred away by him for various reasons without knowing it, and we couldn't get close at all.

.”

"Then tell me, what do the officials mean about Wang Qin? How dare you issue such an order so shamelessly?"

"Sir, I think this matter is strange. Although the Ministry of Personnel has the responsibility of supervising the appointment and dismissal of hundreds of officials, there is a secret that cannot be told in the capital. That is, the appointment and dismissal of the descendants of the officials in the capital will be notified in advance, and then the interests of all parties will be played.

, the third young master’s dismissal was not announced in any official document, so I don’t think the people in the official department would be so rash.”

Ling Shang suddenly woke up and sat there, stroking the tea cup carefully.

With Ling Xin'an, Jiangzhou City really had a backbone, and there was a kind of relaxation in the bustle. When Ling Xin'an received the appointment of reinstatement on the same day and sat in court again, there were cheers from outside.

Ling Xin'an handed over her hand and thanked her.

He must pass by and then sit in the court. As long as he is there, no matter it rains or winds, he must go to court. This is his principle.

Everyone also knew his habits, so they stood at the door to see if anyone reported the crime or something, and also took a look at Master Ling's handling of the case.

Duan Qing had already told him many things in Ling Mansion a few days ago. As for Wang Qin's matter, Ling Xin'an's ruthless and resolute methods had not changed. More importantly, they firmly believed that Ling Xin'an

It will be taken care of.

Sure enough, Wang Qin died and was only given the title of Zhongyong. Ling Xin'an had nothing to do and was reinstated. As for the other lost wealth, Ling Xin'an said that when he returned to the capital in the future, he would still be able to return to the capital with profits.

Slowly get it back from the old guys in the official department.

The poor officials, they still don't know who they have offended.

After sitting for more than an hour, the courtroom was quiet except for whispers outside. Ling Xin'an couldn't help but sigh: "Master Duan, Chief Guo, are we really in peace with the country and the people?"

Guo Song smiled and said: "Sir Ling, Jiangzhou City is now the most prosperous city within a thousand miles, and the security is also the best. Now the patrol has been expanded to 200 people, patrolling day and night. According to your instructions, we will patrol every five

Every day, people will be sent to patrol various towns and villages to deter thieves and maintain public order."

Ling Xin'an nodded: "It seems that I am also going to patrol to see if it is as you said."

Duan Qing and Guo Song said: "We are always waiting for you, sir!"

"Captain Guo, Chief Duan, there are now more than 200 people on patrol. Choose a day to discuss with Capt. Dou to see which of your subordinates are worthy of training. Recommend them and divide them into several groups. For example, you can be responsible for patrolling outside.

On daily streets, those who maintain law and order, those who are responsible for criminal offenses, those who receive feedback from the people, those who are registered and naturalized, and then those who are specifically responsible for tax collection. In the past few days, you will draw up a list, and then discuss it with Mr. Huang, and you can increase the number.

, but the upper limit cannot be exceeded!

I have already discussed with Mr. Huang that from now on when patrolling, those who do not need to perform tasks every morning must train with the garrison soldiers to increase their physical fitness."

"Yes, sir!"

Three days later, the Jiangzhou City Government Office issued an official document stating that starting from today, the Government Office will implement the new system.

The functions of the new government office are divided into the Public Security Department, the Criminal Department, the Taxation Department, the Civil Affairs Department, and the Litigation Department.

Then the details of the functions of each department were announced together to teach the people how to do things quickly in the future. Finally, it was specifically stated that if they didn't understand something, someone from the government office would be on hand to guide them on how to do things.

The local people in Jiangzhou City have become accustomed to Lord Ling's various reforms, so looking at these, taverns, teahouses, and hotels are all discussing the significance of the reforms reflected in these functions.

The outsiders, on the other hand, looked surprised and confused, and inquired about Lord Ling's various deeds.

It's a new day. Ling Xin'an went to the hall this time. Now, there are five people sitting below. They are the leaders of the new department.

The head of the Criminal Department is naturally Guo Song, the head of the Public Security Department is Dou Kai, the head of the Taxation Department is naturally Duan Qing, the Civil Affairs Department is Duan Xiaoming, Duan Qing's nephew, and the Litigation Department is Zuo Jun.

Zuo Jun was a down-and-out scholar in Jiangzhou. He was very eloquent and of good conduct. He was quite famous in Jiangzhou City. Guo Song and Dou Kai also knew him and recommended him.

Ling Xin'an agreed.

The head catcher below is

Lei Bing, Zhao Hu, Wang Meng, Dou Yong and others also attended the court today.

After talking about the original intention of reforming the functions and the next work, at the same time, different functions were divided into the central courtyard and the backyard of the government office. Now Ling Xin'an no longer lives in the government office, so the various rooms in the government office were changed into offices for different departments.

place.

This is still the case in the court, but more often it is just a symbol. When different matters need to be dealt with, there is someone in the front hall to guide you, so there is no need to beat the drum every time unless there is an emergency.

What Ling Xin'an has to do is to manage and unify the coordination of various departments and handle some matters that are difficult for each department to decide, and each department needs to report on things every day, so that he needs to know what is happening in Jiangzhou City.

Guo Song and Dou Kai are happy in their hearts. They are no longer headhunters. They don't need to patrol if not necessary. They only need to manage. The rise in position means that the status is also the same. Following

Lord Ling, the same goes for his reputation.

Naturally, it was quite chaotic at the beginning. The coordination and division of labor between various departments were not clear at first. But fortunately, Ling Xin'an was behind to control the general direction, guiding everyone on how to carry out the work, how to publicize it, and how to carry out the work every day.

How to deal with the things you need to face at work.

Because of the addition of these departments, more staff or masters were needed. Therefore, many down-and-out talents in Jiangzhou City integrated into the Jiangzhou government offices. These people who could not enter the college and became civil servants suddenly found that in Jiangzhou City,

Jiangzhou City actually became a useful place in a kind of staff way.

For a time, many literati came to the government office and actively asked to join, but Ling Xin'an was admitted on a merit-based basis.

Half a month passed by, and Ling Xin'an finally had time to take a look at his shipyard.

After avoiding everyone, Ling Xin'an came to the shipyard. Jiang Hui and his son received him and looked at the entire shipyard built in the cave of the mountain. It was covered by woods. If you didn't find it carefully, there would be no way to detect it.

The huge ship bones and frames have been completed, and the high-strength steel sent by Ling Xin'an has begun to take shape. Even though it looks like just a skeleton now, the huge momentum is still coming.

Hundreds of people are busy working on various processes.

Seeing Jiang Hui and his son again, they both exuded a strong sense of confidence: "Sir, we can keep up with the progress."

Ling Xin'an asked: "Is there any technical problem with these steels?"

"Sir, you have sent us the technical documents. We can handle it. It's just that the intensity is too high, more people are needed, and the speed is just a little slower."

Ling Xin'an nodded: "Although I don't know how to build a ship, the keel is definitely the soul of a ship. If it is missing, the ship will definitely not work. So if you add steel to the keel, you don't have to worry about hitting the rocks in the future!"

"Yes, sir, with the protection of steel, I can guarantee that every ship that leaves from me can travel sideways on the Yangtze River."

"I believe you. By the way, where is that boy Jiang Tao?" Ling Xin'an asked.

"That kid is training a group of what adults call the navy. He should be diving at this time." Jiang Hai said.

"Okay, I'll go see him. Thank you both for your hard work!" Ling Xin'an said goodbye, and Jiang Hai went together.
