Because of the appearance of the concrete road, the news spread quickly, and the news of the flood was delivered to Emperor Yuan and Qing earlier than before. He quickly dispatched the imperial army to rescue and organized disaster relief donations. Still saved a lot.

Reporters from the local Times and reporters from the headquarters of the newspaper in Beijing rushed to the front line to record the disaster relief situation, which was faithfully presented in the Times soon and made known to the people all over the world.

This matter was being discussed in the teahouse and restaurant.

"...I would like to express my gratitude to Huang Dalang's rubber shoes, Yu Niangzi Bingtang, Zhang Da Maofang...and Chang'an common people Zhao Qiansun Sanzhou'an...the above-mentioned third batch of 380 people donated a total of..." The storyteller who read the newspaper breathed out After reciting more than 3 names, my mouth was dry, and I picked up tea to moisten it before continuing to read, "All donations and expenditures will be recorded in detail and published in the Times to ensure that every penny donated by everyone will be used. On the victims of the disaster, thank you to everyone who extended a helping hand for our suffering compatriots..."

"Have my name, my name!"

"What's the noise? Listen to the newspaper carefully. If there is something, there is nothing to shout about."

"Are you jealous? I haven't heard your name, not even anyone with the same name."

"What's there to envy? It's just that it's so great to be published in a newspaper."

"It's just amazing. I was personally named and appreciated by the Holy Lord. I bought a copy and circled my name and asked someone to frame it and hang it at home. After all, it can be regarded as a family heirloom. You can envy it."

"you……"

"Okay, okay, stop arguing and continue listening."

……

"...all officials involved in embankment construction and appropriation of corruption have been put under arrest, escorted to the capital and handed over to Dali Temple for review..."

"...As of the press release, 420 households have been resettled. The cities and counties destroyed by the flood have also begun to organize the reconstruction of the victims. It is initially estimated that all resettlements will be completed before the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

"...The collapsed Shanghu dam was also rebuilt with the help of the Second Infantry Division of the Forbidden Army. In this battle against the flood, these soldiers used their bodies to build a human wall for the people, and tens of thousands of people escaped from danger, but some soldiers remained in the flood forever, they exchanged their flesh and blood for the safety of the people, the author pays special tribute to these soldiers who sacrificed for the people for the sake of our great Wei..."

"As of the submission of the manuscript, 38 soldiers have died. I hope the disaster victims will remember these people who built a bridge of safety for them, and hope that the people of the whole country will not forget their sacrifices..."

"According to the news from the Ministry of War, in addition to receiving due pensions for the families of these sacrificed soldiers, the Holy One specially approved the construction of monuments on the embankment and engraved their names so that their deeds will last forever."

As the storyteller read, the noisy people in the restaurant quieted down one by one, and many people even had red eyes.

Some people were uneasy because their own son was one of the soldiers who went to rescue the disaster.

The storyteller took a deep breath, suppressed the choking in his throat, and continued to read: "The list of sacrificed soldiers is as follows: Wang Wu, Zhang Qing...Zhou Shi..."

While I was thinking, there was a sudden crack, someone's wine glass was not held firmly, and it fell on the concrete floor. Everyone was listening solemnly, and couldn't help but glared away, but saw that the person who smashed the glass was an old man in his fifties, and the old man stopped. His hands in the air trembled, his eyes were red, and his lips trembled: "My son, Zhou Shi is my son..."

After saying two lines, tears fell.

Everyone was silent, the next moment several men dressed as scholars stood up and saluted the old man.

Seeing this, the rest of the people learned to salute one after another. The shopkeeper of the restaurant came forward, and while calling for Xiaoer to clean up, he saluted the old man and said, "My son Gao Yi, I admire you. You don't have to care about this wine glass. Today's drink is also my drink." Please." Turning to greet another waiter, "Go get a carriage and escort the old man home!"

……

Such incidents happened one after another in Chang'an City, including other provinces and counties. The Yuan and Qing emperors were prepared for sacrifices when they sent the imperial army to rescue the disaster. After all, it is impossible for such a large flood to be without sacrifices. The list of sacrifices was published in the Times Before that, the decree was sent to officials from all over the country, and the county officials from all over the country were ordered to come to their homes in time to express condolences. At the same time, the first pension was distributed. It was supervised by the village chiefs, clans and reporters from all over the place. They were not afraid that the money would not be in place, and at the same time, they were willing to let their children go to school. All children can be sent to Chang'an Academy after they reach the age of six.

Continuous disaster reports, open and transparent donation bills, and tragic but positive deeds have mobilized the hearts of the people across the country. In the past, where there was trouble in the Wei Dynasty, people in other places would only know about it when the disaster recovered. In the more remote areas, even if the disaster was over, the whole people participated in it. For a time, the Yuan and Qing emperors and the forbidden army had a great reputation among the people.

In the past, Emperor Yuan and Qing would have feared such a prestige of a military general, and would have absolutely suppressed it, but now instead of suppressing it, he manipulated it to make his reputation ferment, and now all the elite soldiers of the Great Wei Dynasty are in the hands of the emperor. In addition, although the Great Wei did not clearly emphasize civil and military affairs, the status of military officials has become lower and lower after several generations. There will be fewer and fewer military attaches.

In addition, he still has the heart to open up the territory. The army must be cultivated. Although there is no war at the moment, soldiers can also be sent to do such things as suppressing bandits, disaster relief, guarding the border, etc., which not only helps the people but also trains the soldiers, killing two birds with one stone. .

The most important thing is to use this propaganda to strengthen the military and civilians' recognition of the Great Wei, and to stimulate the people's patriotism towards the Great Wei. It is no longer like the past, and the people just bury their heads in their own lives, regardless of who the emperor is and which dynasty it is now .

Wu has the emperor's uncle, Wen has the master, has the new knowledge and technology provided by the traversers, has high-yield food and a stable life, why do the people start wars, if it is too late to hate, what is there to fear?

The prestige of military generals was so high that some civil officials in the court couldn't sit still, and tried different ways to give King Su eye drops to several commanders. Fu, revealed the upcoming new test method.

Since Liu He was executed, all the officials were in a state of panic for a while. Emperor Yuan and Qing didn't order to set up a minister of the Ministry of Officials, and directly handed over to the Taifu to take over. After Shao Yan came back, he recruited the Taifu and Yuan Pei, and the four of them took over Various modern official rank systems and assessments have been discussed in detail.

It has been more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the current official system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is not so easy to completely change it. After careful discussion between the Yuan and Qing emperors and the Taifu, they decided to start with the examination of officials.

In the past, officials below the fourth rank were mainly in charge of the Ministry of Officials. Emperor Yuan and Qing’s impressions of these officials were mostly from the Ministry of Officials. Although Jin Yiwei spread all over the country, they were only in various prefectures and cities, and rarely went to townships and counties. This is why the officialdom stood in line. The phenomenon is serious, and many officials are entrenched under the ministers of the cabinet and the six ministers.

Although the imperial court has promulgated various evasion laws, this matter cannot be completely resolved. As long as a person is a person, he will have relatives, friends, classmates, fellow villagers, friends, in-laws and other interpersonal relationships. Therefore, there is no guarantee that officials will not use power for personal gain, even if it is just Little things.

As far as the Yuan and Qing emperors knew, this kind of human relationship is still deeply rooted in the officialdom in modern times, so it can't be completely eradicated at all. We can only refine the official department to set up a detailed official assessment system and set up a supervision and management agency.

And this institution, the Yuan and Qing emperors borrowed the name of the Inspectorate from the modern and Ming and Qing official systems.

As the name suggests, it is specially used to supervise and investigate officials, from the ministers of the cabinet to the low-ranking officials, all within the scope of the Procuratorate's review and impeachment.

At first glance, it sounds the same as Yushitai’s duties, but it has wider power than Yushitai, and the division is more detailed. Emperor Yuan and Qing directly transferred the entire Yushitai officials, or in fact, it was changed for Yushitai. Name, added responsibility.

However, he did not intend to hand over all the power to the officials of Yushitai. After Liu He's incident, he was very disappointed with these Yushi who usually did nothing and would only shrink their heads when accidents happened. It was just that many officials had been dismissed and exiled before. Appropriate filling, let them go first, but it is impossible to entrust them with such an important matter as the prosecution.

Emperor Yuan Qing was hesitating who to transfer, Liang Ping'an reminded him with one sentence.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing that the crown prince of Ankang County accidentally fell from a high place during training, but it happened that they were practicing near the medical hall, and the imperial physician had already rushed over."

Emperor Yuanqing's eyes lit up, and he almost forgot that there was still this stubble.

It's just right to send these reformed dandies to do surveillance!

When ordinary officials are sent out, they will always take care of them, and even worry about returning to Beijing after random inspections of their official careers, but these dudes are not afraid, especially the children of the clan. Their biggest backer is the royal family, but those officials should be a little more cautious.

Now his intention to promote the clan is well known, so it is not unexpected.

Emperor Yuan Qing pondered for a moment and had an idea in his mind.

"Come on, it's a purpose."

Camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

Wei Huai, the prince of Ankang County, had his head wrapped in gauze, and waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, okay, do what you want around me, everyone said it's okay, it's just a fall, what a big deal."

Wei Dun, the concubine son of the prince of Shunhe County, was worried and asked the imperial physician, "Is the third brother all right?"

The imperial doctor replied: "Don't worry, sir, the son did not fall to the critical point, but scratched his forehead when he fell, change the medicine on time, and he will recover within ten days at most."

"That's good, that's good." Wei Dun heaved a sigh of relief.

The other dandies next to him also reacted in the same way, which shows that this group of people is headed by Wei Huai.

After the imperial doctor left, Wei Huai lifted the quilt and got off the ground: "Go ahead and see if you win or lose!"

Wei Dun quickly supported him: "Third brother, be careful, if you lose, you lose. Let's compete next time."

"You know what a fart!" After several months of training, these dandies have also become vulgar, Wei Huai rolled up his sleeves, "I lost eight times, don't you feel ashamed?"

A dandy next to him said: "My lord, that is the Special First Battalion, not to mention us, I heard that Jin Yiwei is no match."

"That's right." Another dude said, "It is said that Jin Yiwei also lost several matches when he fought against the Special First Battalion!"

"What's wrong with Jin Yiwei? What's wrong with the Special First Battalion? Let others destroy our prestige, forget how they tortured us in the first place? If others can't win, it doesn't mean we can't win!" Wei Huai looked at the few people who hated iron and steel, "Let me tell you, the young master has made up his mind, and he will never give up until he wins the Special First Battalion!"

The rest of the dandies suddenly frowned, saying that you have tortured us a lot, my lord.

Just as he was talking, suddenly the curtain was lifted, and several eunuchs walked in.

"Eunuch Liang?!" Wei Huai and Wei Dun knew several eunuchs around the Holy Majesty as clan members, and they looked at each other in surprise.

Liang Pingan came forward with a smile: "Greetings to the prince, His Majesty heard that the prince was injured, so he specially sent our family to come and have a look."

Wei Huai hurriedly said: "I'm sorry to trouble you, please tell your majesty that there is nothing serious."

"That's good." Liang Pingan said with a smile, "We were still thinking about what to do if the prince fell badly on the way home, and the next thing will be really difficult without the prince."

What's next?Wei Huai narrowed his eyes: "Eunuch, this is..."

Liang Ping'an's expression changed: "Your Majesty's secret decree, the prince of Ankang County accepts the decree!"

Wei Huai faintly expected something, his eyes lit up, he lifted his robe and knelt down: "The minister accepts the order."
