Chapter 160: The South Building is Only in the Far West (2)
After seeing off Chang Anmin, Zhao Si returned to the backyard of the county government office. Empress Zeng took the concubines and put the princes and princesses to bed, and then gathered together to eat the four-object soup cooked by the accompanying imperial chef.
During the journey, what I worry about is not being acclimatized to the climate and getting cold from the outside.
It's summer in April now, and the weather is warm. As long as you don't get caught in the rain or cool wind, it won't be a big problem. In addition, the new "epidemic prevention measures" implemented by the Huimin Bureau and Taiyuan Hospital have greatly reduced the risk of invasion by external evils.
Already.
Therefore, the risk is relatively high now that people are not accustomed to the climate. Drinking Siwu Decoction regularly is one of the preventive measures.
So everyone is under the supervision of doctors.
In the patrol team, there are military doctors, imperial doctors, official doctors, and private doctors, including traumatology, orthopedics, internal medicine, pediatrics, and gynecology. Regardless of whether you are old or young, noble or humble, doctors must conduct regular examinations and observations.
Seeing Zhao Si come in, Zeng and others stood up one after another.
"They are all here. Brothers and sisters, are they all asleep?"
"The eldest brother went to sleep first. The second brother played with the eldest sister and the second sister for a while and then fell asleep." Mrs. Zeng replied.
"Oh, you are tired after a long journey. Go and have a rest early. I still have something to say with the Queen."
Hearing what Zhao Si said, the noble concubine Ming, the virtuous concubine Li, and Zhaoyi Liu hurriedly stood up and left. Zhaorong Wuya stared at Zhao Si, saying something in her beautiful eyes.
Seeing that Zhao Si just smiled and nodded without responding, Wu Yashi had no choice but to leave in anguish.
Zeng Shuhua brought a bowl of still warm Siwu soup, took a spoonful of it with a spoon, put it to her lips, and took a sip.
The hot and cold were just right. Zeng Shuhua took it into Zhao Si's hand and asked with a smile.
"The official family, are you done talking?"
Zhao Si took a sip and exhaled, "The conversation is over."
Zeng Shuhua said nothing, sitting next to him, quietly watching Zhao Si finish a bowl of soup, then took the bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and brought another bowl of warm tea.
Zhao Si took a sip, rinsed it in his mouth, and spit it into the pool next to him.
Zeng Shuhua sat down next to him again and said softly: "Mr. Xigu, he is a good official."
"Yes, I previously arranged for Mr. Xigu to be the Young Minister of Dali Temple, and also thought about letting him take charge of Dali Temple and then move to Sikou. Now it seems that it is really a waste. I am going to arrange for him to take over as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"The construction of the official team that officials often talk about is entrusted to Mr. Xigu?"
"Yes."
"What about Hedong County? Who will take over? Although the Xia Kingdom in the west has been eradicated, there are still Khitan people in the north. Hedong, like Hebei, cannot afford to lose anything." Zeng Shuhua reminded.
"Mr. Xigu recommended Li Fu and Li Lvzhong, who is also the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture. I specially summoned him to Xinjiang County. We met and chatted with him, and he was 50% satisfied."
Zeng Shuhua did not pursue the question, but asked: "Tonight the official family hosted a banquet for the officials and the common people. They must have drank wine. I asked the imperial chef to prepare a sobering soup and a liver-nourishing soup, and asked them to present it."
Zhao Si shook his head, "There's no need for the hangover soup. It's just a few glasses of wine and you'll start sweating after a while. Ask them to bring the liver-nourishing soup."
"Okay, I will go and explain to you now."
While Zeng Shuhua was explaining to Wu Baoxiang, Yu Huatian came over.
"The young one has met officials and wives."
"Huatian is here, come in." Zeng Shuhua saw this official's confidant. There must be something urgent at this time, so she said hello.
"This star really wants to retire"
"Thank you, Madam. Your Majesty, the Ministry of Secretaries has compiled the report, and Officer Tan hastily sent it over. I was worried that Your Majesty had already rested, so I asked the young man who was on duty outside to forward it."
Go ahead, Yu Huatian handed over a stack of words.
Zhao Si took it and took a look and understood.
"Okay, Huatian, go down."
"yes!"
When Yu Huatian left, Zeng Shuhua asked curiously: "What important text did Mr. Tan send so anxiously?"
"It's what I told you. Before the patrol team left Kaifeng City, I called Mr. Tan and Mr. Yuwen, and arranged for a secretary to go to Hedong first and go to the designated prefectures and counties for field investigation in private. At the same time, I also notified the people in the interview office of China News Agency
, sent elite soldiers and generals as the second wave of manpower to investigate in the designated prefectures and counties in Hedong."
Zhao Si shook the stack of paper in his hand and said, "This is the first batch of reports. Yancheng knew that I was keeping a close eye on them, so he hurriedly sent them over after sorting them out."
Zhao Si divided out half of it and handed it to Zeng Shuhua, "Madam, let's take a look together."
Zeng Shuhua took the text, did not read it in a hurry, and quickly asked the waiter to add a few more lamps to make the room brighter.
The two of them watched quietly under the light. Suddenly, Zeng Shuhua frowned and said, "There is such a demon?"
Zhao seemed to be able to read things quickly and had already finished reading the text in his hand. The difference was similar. Hedong County was governed by Chang Anmin, Li Fu and others. There were no major problems in the states and counties, but there were still some minor problems.
These are all common problems.
Officials are lazy and lazy in their administration, delaying political affairs, and shirk government orders... Nowadays, in the states and counties in Hedong, just like other places, most of them are former officials and carry with them the previous style.
Now there are people from above who are urging me to change the political style, but how can it be so easy to change? I was whipped and took a few steps forward, and immediately lay down to rest, refusing to move even for the life of me.
There is no use in rushing, you must use other methods to correct it.
Zhao Si put the text on the table, shook his sleeves with both arms, leaned back on the chair, and said lazily.
"I'm too lazy to read it, so I'll just ask you, madam, to think about it with me."
"Okay, I'll give it to the officials so that you can rest your head." Zeng Shuhua replied happily, "Secretary Lang who rushed to Yicheng has a report. He went to Yicheng to investigate the prevalence of cults in Yicheng.
. During this trip, I saw Taoist priests in the county town and two nearby towns and villages practicing magic and preaching. They claim to be Tianzhengdao, and they follow the will of heaven and..."
Zeng Shuhua paused for a moment, "It is your will to open the way and preach the gospel to the Guan family. They say that the Guan family is the Great Emperor of Zhongtian Ziwei North Pole, the disciple of Taoist Taiqing Daode Tianzun, and the younger brother of the Jade Emperor Haotian God. You have descended to earth to be a human king.
To cope with the catastrophe..."
"Good guy, you have given me so many titles. It's just so you can use my banner."
Zeng Shuhua pursed her lips and smiled, and continued to read: "Then they said that their leader is the first of the Four Saints of the North Pole, and that Marshal Tianpeng has descended to earth..."
"Who?" Zhao Si was startled. Marshal Tianpeng descended to earth?
When I first traveled through time, I had confirmed that it was definitely not the world of "Water Margin". I never expected that I had avoided the timely rain of Song Gongming, but not the world of Marshal Tianpeng's "Journey to the West"?
Zeng Shuhua was asked by Zhao Simeng. She stared at the words hesitantly for a while and said, "That's right. The Zhengdao preacher said that day that their leader called the Patriarch Jiutian Shangfu, the Five Directions Commander, the North Pole, General Zuoyuan."
Grand Marshal Tianpeng Zhenjun."
"Oh, it's okay, madam, continue reading."
"Those missionaries said that their leader brought with him the eleven great obsidian stars of the Shangqing Dynasty, the natal star kings of the twelve yuan chen, the Taisui star king of the sixty-year-old age, the twenty-eight constellations in the sky, the thirty-six heavenly gangs in the battle, and the seventy-two earth evil spirits descended to the earth.
The first is to assist Zuo Shengjun, and the second is to relieve the suffering. They make talismans and turn them into fairy water to cure stubborn diseases..."
"A crooked way to get money by cheating?"
"The official family is more than that. These evil ways are one way of saying it to ordinary people, but it is another way of saying it to the core believers. It is said that when the time comes and the sky brings disaster, the righteous way will lead the people and kill all the corrupt officials.
Officials, local tyrants and evil gentry, divided the fields and grain to create a peaceful world in Datong."
Hearing this, Zhao Si straightened up and said, "This is an evil path with ideals and ambitions, and its ambitions are not small. Have you found the source?"
"The official, Secretary Lang did not find out. However, the reporter from the China News Agency found a clue. It seems that it was transmitted from Hebei, through Luzhou to Jinzhou."
At this point, Empress Zeng asked hesitantly: "Guan family, how come this kind of thing is always eliminated?"
Zhao Si was silent for a while and said quietly: "The situation is changing greatly. There are many capable people among the people who have sensed this change. Some people remain unchanged in response to the changes, while others are eager to try."
After saying that, he shouted to the door: "Go to Yu Huatian who passed in the value."
"Are the officials going to order a raid? Should the patrol continue?"
"Let's conduct a close investigation first and find out their background and backstage. Let's continue to Taiyuan." This chapter has been completed!
