Chapter 25 Special Division (I)
Lu Ning didn't expect that when Yang Zhao saw him, it was like seeing a ghost, and he called himself sick the next day, but things were also done beautifully, he was still the chief official of the special case department, and as soon as he responded to the letter, as long as the special case department sent it, he would sign it, that is, the matter was done by the General Academy of Culture, which acted as the secretary of the government, but the authority was his Yang Shaoqing's authority, and Yang Shaoqing took all the responsibility.
Dali Temple, in this dynasty status has been unprecedentedly promoted, and the same as the six ministries, promoted to the second grade of the institution, Dali Temple, is also one of the important cabinet general government.
As the deputy official, Shaoqing of Dali Temple is a third-grade official.
The Dali Temple under the Qi system is more like a composite of the procuratorate and the Supreme People's Court in later generations, and the Criminal Department reviews the highest prison sentences and death sentences in various places, including the Dali Temple, and also has certain legislative power.
In this special office, Lu Ning asked Yang Zhao to be the chief officer, originally wanting to hint at this old friend and let himself get the leading power of the special office.
After all, even if he incarnates as the General Academy of Literature, as the Son of Heaven, it is impossible for the courtiers to command him to do the east and the west.
But this temporary secretary, his official position, is not enough to support himself as the chief official, so Yang Zhao is used.
But he didn't want to, Yang Zhao, obviously recognized himself.
It seems that because he knew himself when he was the assassin of Haizhou, and he was very familiar with himself, even if he changed his appearance, he still couldn't hide his demeanor and actions.
Of course, it was also because he didn't deliberately hide it, and he wanted to reveal more information to him, but he didn't expect it, and he didn't need it at all.
Yang Zhao is also an extremely smart person.
Speaking of which, in the future generations, Yang Zhao is afraid that he will become a transgender person in the open, and now he can only rely on learning from the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties to cover up his authentic orientation, his Longyang fetish, and some powerful people who have had enough of women and like beautiful boys, is another matter.
It may also be this physiological reason that makes him extremely sensitive, a sensitive and intelligent person.
……
The temporary office of the "Lu Daping Case Special Office" was set up in the city branch of the Bianjing Inn.
The Bianjing Inn under the Donghai Baixing, in Bianjing, has three branches, one in the outer city and two in the city, which can also be seen in the prosperity of Bianjing City today.
Historically, Bianjing boasted a population of more than one million and even reached 1.5 million at its peak.
But in fact, even if this number is not exaggerated, but there is a Song generation, they all like to hoard the forbidden army in Beijing, when the forbidden army is the least, after Wang Anshi changed the law, the Beijing forbidden army was reduced to more than 100,000, plus the family fell below 400,000, before the change, the population of the forbidden army and relatives has never fallen below 400,000, 560,000 or even 780,000.
However, the prosperity of Bianjing today, the ratio of the forbidden army and family members is obviously not a decisive force.
This dynasty followed the Tang system, and there were not many forbidden troops in the capital, and there were 50,000 forbidden troops in the Beijing garrison, and 10,000 were reserve soldiers.
Like the Tang Dynasty, the border forbidden army of this dynasty is also fierce, and in terms of ordnance supply, there is not much difference between it and the Beijing garrison battalion.
Unlike the Tang Dynasty, the commander of the border forbidden army in this dynasty was not a feudal town and ignored local affairs.
This pilgrim to the Son of Heaven believes that the soldiers are fine but not many, and believes that as long as the weapons are well-armed, the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, the command is well-organized, and the baggage is smooth, then one soldier can block a hundred people.
Under the banner of the East China Sea Baixing, I don't know how many craftsmen are working day and night to create armor and ordnance for the forbidden army.
Arrows and the like have been mass-produced, and they are made of coal and iron, and the output has been unprecedentedly increased compared with the previous generation.
However, the three major border camps, the Hebei camp, the Hedong camp and the Shaanxi camp, their armor and weapons are still tempered by skilled craftsmen, so the supply will be slower, although the armor rate has steadily increased, but it will take time to catch up with the Beijing battalion.
Among the other battalions, the Lingnan battalion in Yongzhou was slightly better supplied, and when the Lingnan battalion was reorganized after the fall of Yongzhou, it used less of the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty, and more of it recruited mercenaries from the surrounding territories.
In fact, most of the profits of the East China Sea Baixing are now consumed in providing armaments for the Qi State.
Because the ordnance supplied by the East China Sea Baixing was paid in installments with very low interest, the finances of Qi State would not be too tight.
Of course, if you look at it from a higher level, the country is gradually stable, all industries are new, fertilizers, new farm tools, new technologies, so that the productivity of agriculture and handicrafts has increased compared with previous generations, and every year, it will step to a new level, and there is a gradual prosperity of overseas trade to earn more resources.
In particular, with coal ironmaking, mold scale production, not only arrows, but also civilian supplies, such as a variety of new farm tools, and, the dynasty to iron farm tools into the people, is a very encouraging attitude, mass production of farm tools greatly reduced the cost, the Yangtze River north of the earliest Qi land, the state and county even with a very low price to rent farm tools to farmers who can not afford it, Qindi, Sichuan and Shu and Jiangnan, Lingnan, is also gradually following up.
However, the people's living standards, that is, to maintain the food and clothing of the majority of the people, there are many people, struggling on the hunger line, starving not to death, but may not be able to eat, although the troubled times have just ended, the people have been extremely satisfied with this and even thankful, but in fact, the surplus value created by the more powerful productive forces is mostly used in armaments.
For example, if the proportion of craftsmen is greatly increased, the number of farmers will decrease, which will offset part of the increase in food production brought about by agricultural tools, fertilizers, and new technologies.
Tightening the belt now is for the benefit of the future, and Lu Ning just said it clearly.
However, large cities, in this development, have greatly benefited.
The increase in craftsmen, hired laborers, and merchants has led to a great economic development for the citizens of large cities.
The prosperity of Bianjing City can be seen.
There are two Bianjing inn branches in the city, and the full name of this place requisitioned by the special office is "Donghai Inn Bianjing Bingji", which is the smallest of the three inns, with two small courtyards, ten suites, twenty single rooms, five large chase shops, and several warehouses, of which each large chase shop can sleep up to 20 people.
C Kee is divided into three courtyards, the front street is a two-storey restaurant, on both sides of the restaurant, there are two elegant courtyards, there are doors to the street, it is the best guest room of C Kee, the middle courtyard behind the restaurant, there are one or two floors, the second floor is ten suites, the first floor and the courtyard wing rooms are single rooms, the backyard of the north of the middle courtyard is the five large rooms of Datong shop.
However, the doors of the ordinary middle courtyard and the backyard are locked, and those who sleep in the Chase shop, or the peddlers' pawns, or the hired workers brought by the merchants who can live in the front and back yards, will not eat at the Bingji Restaurant at all.
Nowadays, Tianzi No. 1 Courtyard has become a place for special office deliberations and arraignment of witnesses and criminals, and Tianzi No. 2 Courtyard was originally supposed to be a resting place for Yang Shaoqing, the director of the Temporary Government Department, but now Lu Ning lives in it openly.
The suite at the beginning of the land number is the temporary residence of other officials of the special office, and in addition to Yang Zhao and Lu Ning, there are eight officials in the special office, and there are also two suites vacant.
The single room at the beginning of the Xuanzi number was inhabited by the officials and errands who were temporarily transferred to the Ya Division, with a total of more than 30 people, two people living in one room, which was enough, and four or five rooms were vacant.
The entire temporary government office, officials and officials together, there are nearly 50 people, and they can top the county government office of a small county, which shows the importance attached to this case from above.
