Chapter 5 (26) Reunion with Senior Primary 3 (I)

At first, when Shang Cheng discussed the idea of establishing the Interim General Fu Division of Yanshan Aftermath with several major yamen of the Health Department, Lu Ji and Di Xu didn't see the doorway and didn't pay much attention to it, so they readily agreed. It was clear that this temporary office did not occupy the bureaucracy of the Department of Health and did not require much manpower, but only dealt with some problems that even they found intractable, and they really had no reason to object.

But they soon realized that this little yamen was not as simple as they had imagined.

Shang Cheng proposed that he personally served as the head of the General Fu Department of the aftermath, Lu Jidi Xu as his right and left hand, and the heads of several major yamen of the Health Department, as well as Tao Qi, the prefect of Yanzhou, and Wen Lun, the governor of Zhouxue, were the main books of this small yamen. That is to say, the entire Yanshan Health Department and the heads and brains of all aspects of Yanzhou have been included in this small yamen, and it is conceivable how much of a role this small yamen can play! What is even more surprising is that there are more than a dozen deputy directors and chief treasurers in the general affairs department, but there is only one deacon who really does things......

Lu Ji and Di Xu immediately realized that although the deacon of this small yamen seemed to have no rights, but there were so many Yanshan officials standing behind him, then his "authority" was simply terrifying! No, this position must be filled by their own people! They immediately quarreled over the choice of deacons and tried desperately to convince each other to agree to their plan. Just when they couldn't give in to each other, Shang Cheng proposed a compromise solution. He recommended Huo Shiqi of Yixian County to serve as a deacon, and then set up the left and right Sicheng as Huo Shiqi's assistants in the General Fu Division; The candidates for Si Cheng were recommended by the Pastoral Government and the Inspection Department respectively. Lu Ji immediately agreed with Shang Cheng's proposal. He certainly had his reasons for doing so. First of all, as a Wei pastor who assisted the governor in handling local government affairs, he could not openly oppose Shang Cheng; Secondly, with Di Xu and the Patrol Division's opposition, he couldn't fight for this position for the Wei Mu Mansion. Besides, he doesn't suffer a loss, anyway, the inspection department can't get his wish, so it's better to sell Shang Cheng and Huo Shiqi in a relationship.

Di Xu had the same idea as Lu Ji, and also agreed with Huo Shiqi to serve as the deacon of the General Fu Division. However, he pointed out that Huo Shiqi's resume is not good. Huo Shiqi was a scribe who was belittled by the government for something, and was later dismissed from the official school, although this time he made military merits and was awarded the civil vacancy position of Cheng Lang by the imperial court, but if he was suddenly promoted, would it cause criticism below?

This time, Lu Ji rarely had the same opinion as Di Xu. Lu Bofu euphemistically reminded Shang Cheng that Huo Shiqi was related to him, and if he did this, others would not say it, and they would definitely have an opinion about him because of this.

Shang Cheng told them that when the state school reviewed the old file of the previous year, it found that there were doubts about Huo Shiqi's reputation being dismissed, and he had transferred the school officials in Duanzhou and Yixian to ask them to report truthfully after review. As for Huo Shiqi being belittled in Yi County, Shang Cheng thought it was not worth mentioning. Huo Shiqi was just involved in the fraud case of the Nanguan camp, not that he was really found to be greedy for ink, and he was swept out of the Yixian Yamen, which can be regarded as a small punishment and a big punishment. Besides, who can not make mistakes? As long as Huo Shiqi knows how to change, it's good. Moreover, this stumbling experience can also teach him a lesson, and he will be cautious and less likely to make mistakes in official affairs in the future. As for the relationship between himself and Huo Shiqi, it will attract discussions, and Shang Cheng doesn't care about being virtuous and not avoiding relatives! If Huo Shiqi is capable, let him do it; If Huo Shiqi doesn't have this talent, then someone else will do it......

Shang Cheng said it to this point, and Lu Ji and Di Xu had nothing to say.

The three of them unified their opinions, and Shang Cheng convened a meeting of several yamen to announce the matter, and the "Yanshan Aftermath Interim General Fu Division" was officially established.

Before people could figure out what this inexplicable chief fuss department was doing, the efficiency of this small yamen immediately surprised people, and they didn't even do a good job of branding, so they sent dozens of officials to various prefectures and counties in one go. These tiny officials immediately scared the local people into a sweat. Speaking of which, among these people, the biggest official position is only the Confucian Linlang of the Ninth Grade, and the youngest is just a foreign official servant, but he can't stand the big background behind him, who would dare to seriously offend them? These people are all capable officials and cadres selected by the Admiral's Mansion, the Guardian's Mansion and the Patrol Division, and they are familiar with the case and official affairs, and they are meticulous in their work and resolute in their work, which suddenly brings a bit of fresh air to the procrastination habit of a pool of stagnant water in the place. With their supervision and efforts, the aftermath that has been going on for a long time has gradually unfolded.

In early February, the dispute between the right minister in the court ended with Zhang Pu's reinstatement, and Shangjing's proclamation to Yanshan was another downplay to Shang Cheng's private release of military rations, "It seems that something is wrong." The state and county officials who were still waiting and watching woke up like a dream, and for a time all localities were scrambling to deal with the aftermath, counting the population register, making a register, accounting for money, grain, and materials, and all kinds of official documents were gathering towards the governor's mansion. In particular, several counties near Yanzhou have worked overtime day and night to handle official business. In order to make up for his mistakes in official duties some time ago and reverse his bad impression in the eyes of the new admiral, the county magistrates of these counties even ran from one extreme to the other, simply putting aside the matter at hand and personally leading the team out of the city and to the countryside to solve the difficulties and problems of the homeless people in the fields. When Shang Cheng learned these news from Tao Qi, he couldn't laugh or cry.

In February of the twentieth year of the Eastern Era, the entire Yanshanwei was basically spent in this busy and orderly atmosphere.

However, the busy schedule of thirty or forty days is also a remarkable achievement. After spending a lot of money and food, around the Qingming Festival, most of the victims scattered to the prefectures and counties of Yanbei returned to their homeland under the arrangement of the government. In order not to delay spring ploughing, various prefectures and counties have also provided them with a large amount of food rations and large livestock.

Seeing the submissions from all over the country, Shang Cheng in the Admiral's Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For more than a month, he has been worrying about what will happen to the displaced people after they return home, and now this hanging stone can finally be put down. In order to celebrate the good news, he drank a few glasses of wine at lunch, and made an exception to give himself half a day off, changed into ordinary clothes, and took a few guards out to the market.

It's March and the golden sun is shining warmly on the earth. The dilapidated scene of winter is gone, and the streets and alleys are full of new looks. Some time ago, the jujube tree, the apricot tree, and the locust tree, which were still bare, seemed to have changed into green clothes in the blink of an eye, stretching their branches and leaves energetically to soak up the sun. On both sides of the street, you can see small tents and cloth banners sticking out everywhere, food stalls, needlework shops, incense and candle shops, paper fan shops, shoes and socks shops, almost one after another; Jacket-clad pedestrians stroll leisurely, stopping every now and then to pick up a favourite or two from a roadside stall. In such a good spring, even the dogs that people keep to watch the homes have become lazy, lying down in the sun, lazily watching the people coming and going, or simply squinting their eyes and napping.

Now, Shang Cheng has gone to Nanshi.

Although it is called Nanshi by the people of Yanzhou, it is not actually a market, but a very spacious street. Shang Cheng heard that the real Nanshi was destroyed in a fire more than 20 years ago, and then built this street on the ruins, and people named it Nanshi in order to commemorate the Chengnan Market that existed in the Middle Tang Dynasty. Now, here is still the most prosperous place in Yanzhou, on the street of less than two miles from north to south, two goods of fur, jewelry, paper, pen and ink in the north and south, selling everything, more than four large shops in rows, all of them are green tiles and a blue brick straight to the top, and the eaves of the black pillar carving arch are clear. Then to the south is the straw mat market, listen inconspicuous, in fact, one horizontal, two vertical three streets and alleys are all wine shops, restaurants, song buildings, every evening, countless bucket lanterns can reflect the sky red half, the drinkers shout five to drink six thumbs to fight the sound of wine boiling back to the sky, plus the light song of the singer and the dance, the silk bamboo piano flute, the female voice in the noisy and noisy is drunk and clear, noisy and lively to the extreme.

Shang Cheng wore a robe with a straight round neck covered in blue-gray southern silk, and a belt with silver trim around his waist, and walked with the bustling crowd. He didn't have any purpose, he didn't buy anything, he just walked around with his hands in his hands. Several pro-soldiers were also dressed as ordinary people, scattered in a distance of three or five or seven paces from the left and right in front of him, and followed without a trace.

As he walked, he looked at the ancient city with both satisfaction and pickiness. The prosperity of Yanzhou made him happy, but the lack of the city also worried him. What makes him most uncomfortable is the garbage everywhere. Even in places like Nanshi and Caoxi City, piles of garbage can be seen in the narrow and secluded alleys between the buildings. Some garbage has been piled up for a long time, and a thick layer of floating soil has accumulated on the surface, and the sun and rain have clumped together on the floor, forming a "black shell" full of cracks, revealing the "contents" inside. The stench from the garbage heap rippled through his nose from time to time, making his pleasure uncomfortable for a while.

A green-headed fly fluttered its wings out of a dark, damp corridor and buzzed in front of him. He reached out angrily, trying to get rid of the "uninvited guest". The fly, who had angered him, quickly realized the danger and ran away nimbly.

He withdrew his arm and subconsciously rubbed his fingers, thinking in his head to see how to solve the garbage problem.

The domestic waste generated by the city is not a small problem, especially when it is about to enter the summer, and then let these dirty things exist here "unscrupulously", breeding mosquitoes and flies is a trivial matter, for fear of bringing something terrible epidemic.

He felt that there should be a solution to this matter. Maybe Tao Qi's Yanzhou Mansion Yamen has a way to deal with it. He thought that Tao Mengchang should be urged to find a way as soon as possible.

Just do it! He immediately turned around, ready to go to Tao Qi now.
