Chapter 338 Mountain Fire?!

This is a memorial written jointly by Wannian County, Wei County and Jing County.

The night before yesterday, thunder fell from the sky, triggering wildfires and causing huge casualties.

A total of seven villages in the three counties have been hit by wildfires! They are currently being put out.

Originally, thunderstorms in autumn were unusual and considered a natural phenomenon. However, a thunderstorm actually caused wildfires in three counties. This is a rare event.

Autumn is originally a season prone to wildfires.

In autumn, the weather is dry, rainfall decreases, and patches of dead branches and fallen leaves fill the mountain forests, together with weed piles and bushes, which can ignite fires when encountering sparks.

Recently, there have been thunderstorms again, and the upper parts of trees are easily struck by lightning and catch fire, eventually causing large-scale wildfires.

When Changsun Fuji on the side looked up, he saw Yang Qingyuan who was in a daze and couldn't help but be curious.

The memorials that Yang Qingyuan needed to "vote" were initially screened by the General Affairs Department. Most of them were matters submitted by various counties at different levels and had little impact on national affairs.

However, the difficulty of these government affairs is not small, and some are even more complicated and troublesome. This is the method used by the palace to train new prime ministers.

In the eyes of Changsun Fuji, Yang Qingyuan had a rare expression of doubt.

Although the government affairs of Dali Temple were busy, Yang Qingyuan was deeply taught by Yanyi and Qian Muqian, and he was very good at handling government affairs.

"Qingyuan, what?! Are you in trouble!?"

Changsun Fuji was also tired of sitting. He stood up and walked to Yang Qingyuan and looked at the memorial in Yang Qingyuan's hand.

"This is just a memorial to report the fire situation and ask for help from the imperial court. Is there anything embarrassing about it?!" After reading it, Changsun Fuji didn't understand why Yang Qingyuan was in trouble.

"It's not that this memorial is embarrassing! It's just..."

"Just what?!"

"Lord Changsun, have you noticed that this place has appeared too frequently recently!"

Yang Qingyuan pointed to the three words "Wannian County" above the memorial and said.

After Yang Qingyuan said it, Changsun Fuji realized that he seemed to have heard the name of Wannian County often in his ears recently.

On the tenth anniversary, it turns out that either the Li family and her son were unjustly accused, or they were from Wannian County. The poisoning case of the county school that shocked the government before happened in Wannian County.

Now there is another wildfire in Wannian County, which is indeed a bit strange.

But then Changsun Fuji said, "However, thunder from the sky caused mountain fires. There are also records in ancient books, so it is reasonable."

Although Changsun Fuji is good at government affairs, his acumen in criminal investigation cannot be compared with Yang Qingyuan, the young minister of Dali Temple.

So many low-probability events happened one after another, which made Yang Qingyuan feel very unusual.

However, from the perspective of Blue Star statistics, different types of low-probability events occur continuously, and the event distribution does not essentially obey the probability distribution, because there is no correlation between these events.

Although Yang Qingyuan had doubts, he put them aside for the time being.

Although the frequency of incidents in Wannian County has been too high recently, in the final analysis, it was only three accidents. Although the impact was not small, it could not be regarded as a major disaster. They all seemed to be natural events.

Yang Qingyuan then wrote on a small piece of paper on the side: "The three counties should cut down some flammable trees, build fire zones to isolate mountain fires, and relocate mountain residents from nearby villages. Anyone affected by mountain fires should

Tax exemption for one year, and each county will make its own arrangements."

Yang Qingyuan wrote his approval on a small note on the side of the memorial.

This is the function of the Zhou cabinet. It is to respond to the emperor's official reports and handle government affairs. When encountering important and complicated matters, the cabinet's great scholars will discuss and deal with them with the emperor.

Changsun Fuji read the contents of Yang Qingyuan's book and nodded slightly with satisfaction. This kind of handling was infinitely better than the appropriation between the imperial courts.

If something goes wrong somewhere and the court asks for money, then no matter how much money the court has in its treasury, it won't be enough.

After briefly moving his muscles, Changsun Auxiliary also sat back in his seat.

This day's memorial often takes a cabinet scholar two to three days to complete, so he doesn't dare to slack off.

As the two sat down again, the Wenhua Hall once again fell into a brief silence. After that, voices of discussion could be heard from time to time.

By the time the two stood up again, it was already dark.

Changsun Fuji looked at the sky and smiled and said, "Qingyuan, thanks to you, you don't know that without you on duty, I, an old man, might not be able to approve half of the memorials even if I get to Xu Shi."

"Lord Changsun, how can you be old-fashioned if you are so energetic?!"

Changsun Fuji shook his head and chuckled, he was indeed a naughty boy.

However, Yang Qingyuan did help a lot in the government affairs of Wenhua Palace.

Nowadays, among the four halls and two pavilions, only Wenhua Hall and Zhongji Hall have bachelors, and the rest are assisted by the editors of the Hanlin Academy.

Like Dongge, who has no real power and is just a decoration, there is only an honorary bachelor, Kong Qinli, and no other assistant officials.

The remaining bachelor of Zhongji Palace is Wang Hua, Wenkui in the 13th year of Yong'an. This person now holds the positions of General Secretary and Zhongji Palace, and was trained as a reserve prime minister. However, now that the bachelor of Zhongji Palace has retired, he will follow

Yu Yanyi, a bachelor of Wuyingdian University, handled government affairs.

Except for the Wuying and Wenhua halls, the other pavilion halls have no assistant officials. They only have people temporarily recruited by the Hanlin Academy to help with some paperwork, and the daily affairs are even more complicated.

Changsun Fuji saw that it was getting late, so he said, "Qingyuan, why don't we have dinner together?"

Yang Qingyuan apologized and said, "Forgive me, Lord Changsun, but I have to go to the Hanlin Academy. There have been some difficult cases in Dali Temple recently. I have to go to the Hanlin Academy to check some books."

Changsun Fuji said that he understood that Dali Temple was now in charge of criminal investigation and important cases in the capital, and at the same time he had to deal with those warriors in the world, so there was indeed a lot to do.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qingyuan! Although you are still young, you still need to take care of your health!"

"Then I will take my leave first!"

After Yang Qingyuan said goodbye, he walked towards the Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin Academy was the place where Yang Qingyuan stayed in the capital for the longest time. He was in charge of Dali Temple for only three years, but he had studied in the Hanlin Academy for five years, and even presided over the compilation of "Zhou Xuan Dao Zang".

"Master Yang!?"

"Scholar Yang, long time no see!!"

At this moment, the Hanlin Academy was still brightly lit, and a large group of Hanlin editors were revising books and writing articles.

The two Hanlin Academy bachelors were pleasantly surprised when they saw Yang Qingyuan.

"Why did Mr. Yang return to the Hanlin Academy!? Do you want to borrow some books?! How about just giving the order?! We will make a copy and send it to you!"

Although Yang Qingyuan also held the official title of bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, he rarely came to the Hanlin Academy. Usually even when he performed his duties, it was only for the Imperial College to give lectures to the students.

"Master Liu, Master Wang."

Yang Qingyuan also bowed to the two Hanlin Academy bachelors who greeted them.

Every three years, a group of Jinshi will be born. Among them, the first-class, heaven-earth, and third-class scholars will be directly awarded to the Hanlin editors. The young ones with outstanding performance will be selected from the second-class scholars, and they will be selected as Shujishi.

Shujishi will participate in some political affairs in the Hanlin Academy and the cabinet, thereby selecting and selecting those who are good at practical work, either into the six ministries or outside.

As for those who are good at studying classics and meanings, they will stay in the Hanlin Academy.

Liu and Wang were among the bachelors who stayed at the Hanlin Academy.
