Thunder Emperor

Since Fusang has a class regime, it has been enfeoffed. As long as the land is enfeoffed, everything on it belongs to the lord. People living on these lands cannot cultivate and collect food on the land at will. Even going up the mountain to cut firewood has to offer most of the offerings, and the people on that piece of land that is not fertile are forced to fight with their lives for a morsel of food, and even see death as a relief, and slowly The so-called Bushido spirit was born.

Although it can be said that the Japanese pirates were in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of group that made a living by plundering had appeared since the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, because the sea was not closed, a large number of merchant ships traveled to and from the coast of Asia. The pirates have been provided with a place to live, and the entire sea area of ​​the Song Dynasty has been exposed from time to time. The news of Japanese pirates or pirates has brought great troubles to the people living along the coast of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, it is urgent to exterminate the pirates. .

By the end of 1125, there were still [-] days before New Year's Day. For the people of the Song Dynasty, another year of abundance had passed, and for the officials of the Song Dynasty, another year-end assessment was coming.Before the reform of the Song Dynasty, the annual court system was an assessment of officials by the imperial court. Officials who were released to the outside world needed to prepare a report and submit it to the Ministry of Officials for review and review. The performance is simply a fool's dream, so Liu Qiang and Li Qi set up a parade assessment system.

A total of 14 directors of the seven major departments and five small bureaus, plus [-] people in total including the national teacher and the emperor, took the Mojiao flying boat to patrol the provinces, prefectures and counties across the country. For Liu Qiang and Li Qi, it is nothing to Liu Qiang and Li Qi.The entire Song Dynasty now includes the central and southern parts of Hebei and Shanxi provinces, southeastern Gansu, most of Sichuan, a small part of Yunnan, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi , Guizhou, Hainan fourteen provinces.

Although the place is not small, because the current residents mainly live around the provincial capitals, it does not take long to inspect each province. In one month, Liu Qiang and his 14-member monitoring team can completely inspect the area in more detail. Examine the achievements of all officials.The current Xin Song regime implements a two-year evaluation and promotion system. No matter how many substantive constructions officials have made during their administration, as long as the people vote that you can’t do it, they will automatically step down and give way to the officials selected by the people. He will give up his post directly, but will work as a deputy for two years before he will be eligible to participate in the selection again.

This kind of selection was supported by the people, but it was not welcomed by officials at the beginning. However, after a large number of officials who made troubles were sent to farms for ideological reform, the officialdom of Song Dynasty gradually moved towards this virtuous cycle.Because the officials have pressure from their superiors and the people, and those officials who were dawdling were dismissed, all the current officials must work hard, or they will be devolved or demoted waiting for them.

However, since officials have high pressure, there will be corresponding benefits. The monthly salary of officials at all levels in the Xin Song Dynasty is scary compared to before. The lowest level of county magistrate has a monthly salary of ten taels of silver. Fifty dans of grain, which used to be achieved only by reaching the second-rank official position.The policy of high salaries and honesty has given officials hope. No one will take bribes or embezzle the country's money and food at the risk of lifelong labor. You must know that the supervisory offices set up by various provincial governments are all composed of junior tame The eunuchs of the pharmacy are responsible for their loyalty and will never be bought by local officials, and these eunuchs are also given the method of body training and the method of six-style practice, so there is nothing to say about their combat effectiveness.

Today, Liu Qiang and other inspectors came to Hangzhou Mansion. Although Hangzhou Mansion in this period was not as rich as Bianliang, it was also a place of outstanding people.Xinsong established a new university here, and a large number of Jiangnan students are studying here. The current Hangzhou Mansion has become the new education base of Xinsong in Jiangnan, sending a large number of qualified officials to the country every year.This is also the place where Minister Cai Jing is proud of being in charge of the work of the Ministry of Education, and the person in charge of the overall work of the Hangzhou government is Cai Jing's second son Cai Tao.

The flying boat landed slowly in the government compound of Hangzhou Mansion. After receiving the notification, Cai Tao, the chief executive of Hangzhou Mansion, had already led all the officials in office to stand in the yard to welcome the arrival of the inspectors.This year's work performance of the Hangzhou government is very outstanding. It has completed a large area of ​​water conservancy dredging work, opened up a huge area of ​​high-quality paddy fields, built a large medical center and a trading market, and resettled a large number of people who went to the inland to find a way out due to coastal windstorms. refugee.

In the conference room, after paying respects to Song Huizong and the national teacher, Cai Sui bowed down to his father Cai Jing again. This is because he was unable to return to Bianliang to accompany his father for the New Year again this year due to his busy government affairs. Here It was an apology to the father who had finally met. Cai Jing couldn't help crying when he saw his second son working so hard, and Liu Qiang and Li Qi were also quite moved.Cai Wei is famous for his filial piety, but two years ago he went to Liu Qiang and recommended himself to be an official in Hangzhou, and managed the Hangzhou government in an orderly manner here, becoming the leading wealthy province in the Song Dynasty. In the popular election not long ago, he passed the re-election with a unanimous vote, becoming the first official to be re-elected with a unanimous vote.

After a two-day inspection, Hangzhou Mansion passed the assessment of the monitoring team, and everyone boarded the flying boat again and flew towards the last stop, Quanzhou Mansion.This time, Quanzhou was chosen as the last stop because not only the local officials had to be assessed this time, but also the large-scale military exercises of the Quanzhou Navy were to be watched to witness the formal establishment of the new navy of the Song Dynasty.After less than an hour's flight, the Mojiao Flying Boat has arrived at the sky above Xingang City, Quanzhou Prefecture. At this time, Quanzhou has already become the largest city in Xinsong Dynasty.

The current Quanzhou Prefecture covers a huge area, comparable to that of modern Guangzhou City. The city has a population of 550 million, and it is a veritable giant city in the world.The whole city is centered on Quanzhou Port, radiating inward in a fan shape, and taking the extended port of call of Quanzhou Wharf as the central axis, it is divided into two cities on the left and right.The main residents of Zuocheng are a large number of foreign businessmen, and its buildings have an obvious exotic style. There are many restaurants and shops, and there are many pedestrians walking on the street. They all serve foreigners with strange blonde hair and blue eyes. Persian dancers.

The right city is further divided into a residential area and a trading area. Most of them live in all parts of the country. The merchants who come to do business face the left city. The shops are divided into four rows, and each row has thousands of stores. The scale is so huge that you can walk The passers-by in it were all amazed.On the ten-meter-wide street, there are carriages covered with blue cloth to go back and forth. This is the main means of transportation in Quanzhou city. Because the traffic is not well managed, the Quanzhou government stipulates that all businesses are not allowed to own carriages privately. They are all blue public carriages, and the goods are transported in red carriages. The cost of each use is very cheap, so this mode of transportation is very popular.

The city is divided into left and right, and the port is the same. The left port is the place where foreign merchant ships dock. All kinds of ships are lined up on both sides of the wide trestle, and countless stevedores are busy on the trestle. Boxes of goods are loaded or unloaded, looking busy and orderly.All the stevedores on the wharf wore uniform dark blue vests. They were all workers from the Quanzhou Wharf Labor Chamber of Commerce, and the trade union was under the name of the Quanzhou government. All the workers were retired veterans or refugees arranged by the government.

On the right port are the ships of the Song Dynasty merchants and the giant treasure ships of the Song Dynasty National Caravan, especially those huge treasure ships. Each one of them is like a battleship when parked beside the pier, showing the strength and strength of the new Song Dynasty. majesty.The workers working on Yougang also wear dark blue vests, but those who are loading and unloading the treasure ships are some workers wearing red vests. They are all under the name of Li Qi, employees of the Xinsong Shipping Company, and now Li Qi The shipping company under his name owns [-] treasure ships divided into two transport fleets.

Liu Qiang and his party finished admiring the scenery of the new Quanzhou port city in the air, and then slowly landed in the compound of Quanzhou mansion. At this time, there were only three officials in the compound to greet them, and the other officials were too busy to get away. , which also means that the new Quanzhou Port City is busy.The person who came to greet him was Qin Hui, the highest administrator in Quanzhou. This sinner who was scolded by the world in the real world was sent by Liu Qiang to serve as an administrator in Quanzhou Port after taking an intermediate taming potion. Now the new Quanzhou Port City can Such a scale is also the result of his dedicated work.

When Liu Qiang and the others came to check last year, Qin Hui was already bedridden due to overwork. For this reason, Liu Qiang specially gave him a primary physique evolution fluid, so now Qin Hui looks very energetic, but in fact, he just finished thirty. Hours of work, if not for the arrival of Liu Qiang and the monitoring team, he would have to work another ten hours before sleeping for eight hours.
