Chapter 227: New officer takes office

Shenzhou, the west gate of Jinxia City.

"Call—" Hong Sizile stopped his horse and looked towards the gate. Through the

city gate, he can see the flow of people in the city and the lively shops on

the street.

"Master, this place...seems to be more prosperous than expected." The servant

Ding Pan said very excitedly, "I thought this promotion was another secret

demotion!"

"If you can think about it this way, it proves that the previous losses were

not enough and did not allow you to learn this lesson." Hong Siqi disapproved,

"You don't want to think, if it is really a good position, why should the

staff give it to me? "

"Uh, this... seems to be too."

"Compared to a prosperous place, I prefer a downturned town. At least I don't

have to be worried about it all the time. It's easier to get the money." He

touched the horse's head, "This place, I'm afraid every corner They have all

been cut off by the power of all parties."

"Then...what do you want to do, lord? Should you report to the government

office first?"

"Reporting? The government has been picked up by the pirates. Who should I

report to? The most urgent thing is to find out who is in charge of this

Yancheng." Hong Si grabbed his horse and let the horse slowly approach the

gate of the city. Go, "Let's enter the city."

He is the new prefect who transferred from the staff.

As a Jinshi in the Tianfeng period, Hong Siqi's first half of the official

road was fairly smooth. Although he could not stay in the palace, he was

stationed in other places for fifteen years, all the way from the seventh

prefect to the fifth prefect, which is regarded as the most proud of life. For

a while. However, in the following ten years, he never got a promotion, and

every time he was promoted, he was promoted and demoted, and it happened to be

when he laid a solid foundation and was about to make a fortune. This made

fewer and fewer cronies willing to follow him, and even the promoted adjutant

turned around to work for the chief official who succeeded him. Sometimes Hong

Siqi himself wondered whether he was being spotted by a big figure in the

court. Will be treated like this.

Until this time, it was finally no longer a flat adjustment, but a real

promotion to the presidency, but he did not believe that the officials made

this adjustment based on his political achievements.

Ten years of staying in place is enough to change a person's ambitions. When

he was admitted to the Jinshi, he still had a grand vision. Now he just wants

to save enough money, fortunately, he can live a life of honour and glory

after he is appointed.

As for Yuyuan’s Hall of Supreme Harmony in Gyeonggi, it has become his

unattainable thing.

After registering his identity and entering the city, Hong Siqi quickly

discovered a different place in this city-there are places under construction

everywhere in the city, as if Jinxia is not an ancient city with a long

history, but a newly established place.

Considering the contents of the letter of introduction sent with the

appointment and dismissal order, he can understand that the city was attacked

by pirates and many urban areas were damaged. However, this kind of

restoration is often extremely slow. People who lose their homes usually lose

their belongings. After they become refugees or street beggars, the next group

of people will replace them and become new residents of this land. This

process will take several months, as long as several years, depending on the

total population and prosperity of the city.

But here, he was surprised to see that many houses were being built at the

same time. It was obviously not a restaurant or a hotel, but a row house for

people to live in. Even the shapes of these houses are extremely similar, as

if someone behind them is uniformly directing the construction.

"During the day breaks the land, doesn't it disturb the people?" Ding Pan

pondered, "The government can issue a land break permit for this reason, and

it must pay a certain amount to start construction, and at the same time, give

a certain amount of convenience for entering and leaving the city. Master, do

you think I am right?"

While receiving the benefits, you must make the benefits worthwhile. This idea

is that I have been teaching him, but now... "Huh, just copy it." Hong Siqi

sneered, "You can know from the style of the house, I'm afraid it is. It is

not easy to have such a hand in a collective construction. Your method can

only limit the people who build by themselves, so don’t want to get a share of

the other party’s hands."

"Uh...Is that so?" Ding Pan touched the back of his head, "It seems that I

want to make it simple."

More than that, Hong Si said in unison. What surprised him more than the house

was the sight of the roadside-no matter it was the main road or the streets,

he did not see the beggar. As a common figure in the city, or a group of

forces, he disappeared without a trace in Jinxia City.

He couldn't understand for a while, what happened before that made such people

disappear.

If they were attacked by pirates, they should have been increasing rapidly.

Hong Siqi decided to choose a teahouse as the entry point to understand the

situation.

He knew that once his identity was announced, it would be difficult for him to

have a chance to actually inquire into the details of Jinxia City.

There are not many people in the teahouse unexpectedly, and there are only two

or three including the second.

After Hong Siqi ordered a pot of spring tea, he called Dr. Tea over again,

took a few copper plates and said, "Can you ask some questions?"

The latter smiled after accepting the saliva fee, "Guest officer, just ask!"

"Hey, man over there." Suddenly someone shouted at him, "The first time you

came to Jinxia City?"

Hong Siqi nodded unexpectedly, "Yes."

"If you want to ask questions, you can go to the General Affairs Bureau. The

answers there are the latest government policies, so you don't need to ask Dr.

Cha."

Dr. Cha obviously didn't dare to offend the guests, so he coughed and said,

"The bureau's answer is all business matters, and there will be no gossips and

anecdotes."

General Affairs Bureau? What is this place?

And what is this government's new policy... Didn't it mean that the whole

government was given to people? He has not yet taken office as the new prefect

holding the official documents of the court!

Hong Siqi bowed his hand to the other party, thanking him for his kindness,

and wrote down the term "General Affairs Bureau" in his heart. "I heard that

Jinxia was looted by pirates a while ago, and the government office was hit

hard, so the city is now Who is in charge?"

"Haha, a good question from the guest officer." When Dr. Cha saw that he was

not leaving, he immediately came to his mind. "There are two people in Jinxia

City who speak and count. One is naturally Princess Guangping, and the other

is the new appointment of the Privy Council. Fu Cheng is also the organizer of

the General Affairs Bureau, Master Xia Fan."

"His Royal Highness? Is she managing the affairs of the city?" Hong Siqi

frowned secretly-he had roughly inquired about the situation on the way here,

and naturally knew that Jinxia was the fiefdom of Princess Guangping, but he

did not expect it. The thing is that members of the royal family will

intervene in the local political situation. "Have no one raised objections to

this? I mean... the local wealthy and big households~www.mtlnovel.com~ Hey,

why do you oppose it?" Dr. Cha exclaimed, "The guest officer does not know

something, the pirates On the day of the invasion, the government did not see

resistance at all, and within a short time the North Wall and the East Wall

were lost to the enemy. At this time, it was the princess who stepped forward

and brought her bodyguards all the way from the west gate to the east gate and

from the east. The door slammed back to the north door, and in the end he was

completely blood-red."

Hong Siqi automatically ignored the other party's exaggerated words. He also

came into contact with military and political affairs when he was the prefect,

and he knew clearly that leading his troops in combat can never be won by a

single person. "Then what happened to the Privy Council House? I remember they

only deal with evil events, right?"

"Master Xia was supported by Princess Quang Binh alone, and it can be regarded

as the actual implementer of the decree." Dr. Cha enthusiastically replied,

"He is a great good man. Since the government neglected his duty, he has set

up a comprehensive affairs bureau. It also helps disaster-stricken households

repair their houses and distributes relief food to prevent refugees from being

hungry. Now there are many job-raising opportunities. The employer is the

Princess of Quang Binh, and the compensation is paid on time and on time.

Therefore, everyone feels that the words of Mrs. Xia are good The Princess

herself is not much different."

"Then...who will deal with the security and disputes in the city?"

"Of course it is the arrest of the bureau-they are not only in charge of evil,

but also in general criminal investigation cases."

Hong Siqi's heart rumbling loudly.

over, over.

Where is this disaster relief agency...

This is clearly a government department that completely replaced the Jinxia

City Government Office!
