Li Zhongyi stayed in Zhengzhou for only one day, then boarded the ship and continued westward. After all, military affairs are urgent, and there is not so much time to visit the mountains and rivers.

On the military dock in Zhengzhou, Zhi Yuqing and Guo Xiaocheng looked at each other and smiled, and sent the emperor away peacefully, and the two of them felt relaxed in their hearts.

Civilian officials are not allowed to interfere in military affairs, and military generals are not allowed to intervene in government affairs, and this rule has been thoroughly enforced.

Therefore, although there are some minor contradictions, there is no big substantive conflict of interest, and the relationship between the two is quite acceptable on the surface.

At least, the impression given to Li Zhongyi is that the two of Zhe Yuqing and Guo Xiaocheng can still maintain the unity on the surface, and this is enough!

In the past, when Li Zhongyi was the vice president, the president and the secretary could never pee in the same pot, and the relationship was extremely tense.

To put it bluntly, this is the inevitable consequence of the excessive conflict of interest.

Nowadays, on the basis of the division of civil and military rule, there is no fundamental contradiction of interests between local civil servants and military generals.

Two days later, the flotilla arrived in Luoyang, Xijing. Luoyang was originally the second largest city in the world, and the first city was Chang'an.

However, after the warlord melee at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the destruction of the Huangchao rebel army, Chang'an and Luoyang gradually fell behind the times.

Today's Luoyang has become the fourth largest city in the entire Qiang Han Dynasty. The total population of the city is 200,000, which is half less than the largest city in the world, Kaifeng.

The more people you have, the more transactions you have. When there are more transactions, commerce will prosper, which is already an iron law of urban development.

In today's world, in addition to Jinyang and Chengdu, Kaifeng City is not only the capital of the empire, but also the largest city in the country, followed by Hangzhou, Yangzhou third, Luoyang fourth, and Zhengzhou fifth.

As soon as Li Zhongyi arrived in Luoyang, he heard the bad news that Chai Shouli had whipped his servants to death, and had been taken to prison by the servants of Luoyang Mansion.

Chai Shouli is Chai Rong's biological father, and since he moved to Luoyang to settle down, he has been bad and has a bad reputation.

About nine years ago, Chai Shouli killed people in the street. Because he was the emperor's biological father, the magistrates did not dare to ask, and they all pretended to be deaf and dumb, just as if there was no such thing.

This time, Chai Shouli committed the murder again, and the magistrate did not dare to slack off, so he immediately took Chai Shouli into prison.

"Chai Shouli is the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor?"

"Inspector Sikong?"

"Guangluqing?" Li Zhongyi said a word, and Yan Zhengchang, the prefect of Luoyang, nodded his head and whispered: "Yes." ”

"Well, there is a Dali Temple in the local area?" Li Zhongyi asked Yan Zhengchang again.

Yan Zhengchang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Chai Shouli has been taken into the prison of Dali Mansion Temple to await trial. ”

"Well, just dispose of it according to the law!" Li Zhongyi did not raise his noble hand and spared Chai Shouli.

Yan Zhengchang immediately understood that since the emperor said that it would be dealt with according to law, it meant that it was a matter of business, and he was given full authority to Dali Temple for interrogation.

Yao Hong, the head of the Luoyang Soldiers and Horses, has been by Li Zhongyi's side, but he has never said a word.

Soldiers are not allowed to interfere in politics, this is an iron law set by Li Zhongyi, and he Yao Hong's 800 courage does not dare to meddle in judicial cases.

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people." After Li Zhongyi put down this sentence, Yan Zhengchang completely understood that Chai Shouli would be very difficult to pass this time.

"Success, how many soldiers and horses are available in Luoyang?" Li Zhongyi turned his head and asked Yao Hong.

Yao Hong arched his hand and said: "If you go back to the emperor, there are a total of 35,458 township officers and soldiers available in Luoyang. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded, and Yao Hong's answer was very consistent with the numbers he had seen before. Obviously, Yao Hong is not out of touch with the actual situation on the front line.

Speaking of which, Yao Hong is also Li Zhongyi's old subordinate. I think that at the beginning, when Li Zhongyi was ordered to leave Lingzhou, Guo Huai was the commander of the Lingzhou army, and Yao Hong was the pacification envoy.

Later, after Li Zhongyi became the ruling king, Yao Hong was transferred to the capital and promoted to the commander of the holy army.

After Li Zhongyi ascended the throne, in view of the importance of Xijing, Yao Hong was transferred to be the head of Luoyang's soldiers and horses.

According to the rules of the military, the soldiers and horses of a place are in charge of all the Xiang army and the township army in the area, except for the forbidden army.

Objectively speaking, whether it is the forbidden army stationed in Kaifeng or the forbidden army stationed in other places, the imperial forbidden army with a total strength of 300,000 is the category of the field corps, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council, and is not under the control of local military generals.

Today's Privy Council of the Imperial Court only has four privy deputy envoys to assist Li Zhongyi in managing military affairs, and there are no chief envoys.

To put it bluntly, the so-called Privy Council, that is, the base camp of the military, has always been vacant, so that Li Zhongyi can firmly grasp the military power.

Today, the highest level of the military is under the unified leadership of the Privy Council, with the responsibilities of the Ministry of War, the Department of Suppression, the Department of Military Justice, the Department of Logistics, and the Department of the General Staff.

After Li Zhongyi changed into civilian clothes, he led Yan Zhengchang and Yao Hong and walked onto the street.

Everywhere he goes, Li Zhongyi will go to the streets as long as he has time, take a look, and observe the actual local people's feelings, and Luoyang is no exception.

When he arrived on the street, Li Zhongyi noticed that many shops were closed in broad daylight, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Obviously, this was an arrangement secretly made by officials in Luoyang, worried about his safety.

Li Zhongyi walked into a silk village, touched a big red silk horse, and asked the guy in the store: "How much is a horse?" ”

"Don't hide it from the big officials, if you want it sincerely, you will always have a horse." The guy obviously didn't recognize Yan Zhengchang and Yao Hong, and told the price truthfully.

"What about this one?" Li Zhongyi pointed to a dark blue silk again, smiled and continued to ask the guy.

"Don't hide it from the big officials, this one is a little more expensive, and it has always been two hundred dollars a horse."

The man's answer aroused Li Zhongyi's interest, and he smiled and said, "Why is the blue one so much more expensive than the red one?" ”

"Great officials, the main reason is that the price of dyes is different, and this pure blue dye is much more expensive than red."

Li Zhongyi nodded, in these years, although the imperial court implemented a land rent policy of twenty taxes and one tax, the poor still couldn't afford silk after all.

The goods in the silk village belong to the category of luxury goods, and only the rich can afford to buy and use them.

After coming out of the silk village, Li Zhongyi saw a stall selling wonton in the alley where he avoided the street, and there were more than six diners in line. His appetite was also aroused, so he came to the edge of the stall and lined up at the back of the line.

Li Zhongyi participated in the queue, Yan Zhengchang and Yao Hong, dare not participate in the queue? So, these two people also followed closely behind Li Zhongyi.

Zhang Sanzheng frowned, staring at the middle-aged vendor in his thirties, lest he miss any fatal details.

When it was Li Zhongyi's turn, Yao Hong suddenly took a step forward, took the porcelain bowl handed by the vendor, picked up the spoon, and tasted it first without hesitation.

Li Zhongyi understood in his heart that Yao Hong was worried that there were ghosts in the soup, and he grabbed a bite because he wanted to test the poison.

Just after Yao Hong tried non-poisoning, Li Zhongyi was about to start eating, suddenly, several errand servants came over, and one of them shouted: "Chang Gui, you deliberately want to find trouble, right?" The above has already sent a message, it is forbidden to go out of the stall to do business in the past few days, you dare to take it as a deaf ear? ”

Li Zhongyi raised his eyes and saw that it was indeed a serious errand servant coming, hehe, they should be in charge of the city * in this era, right?

"Taiwei, the villain's lady is sick and has no money to get medicine, please, okay." Chang Gui, a street vendor, was indeed forced to have no choice, so he secretly set up a stall to sell wontons.

"Hurry up and take it, the wind has been tight lately, and we can't help it. Let's go, don't make it difficult for us, otherwise, someone's ass will definitely be opened by Taishou. The officer at the head did not look very vicious, and he had always been kind to Chang Gui.

Li Zhongyi couldn't help nodding secretly, the relationship between the government and the people was tense, and the phenomenon of hating officials was endless, in fact, it was inextricably related to the attitude of the street officials towards the people.

The attitude of the few officers in front of him is not particularly good, but they are not rude, and this is considered a good comrade.

Li Zhongyi held the bowl and ate wonton in small bites, and although Yan Zhengchang and Yao Hong couldn't eat it, they had to pretend to eat with them.

"Everyone, let's disperse, let's disperse, the situation is special, everyone is dispersed."

Several diners in line were driven away by the servants shouting and shouting, leaving Chang Gui with a sad face.

"Chang Gui, let's go quickly. By the time we turn two blocks and come back, if you haven't left, it won't be easy to talk. ”

Li Zhongyi didn't pay attention to it originally, but he looked at the servants coldly, and frequently looked at Yan Zhengchang. He immediately understood that the servants must have recognized Yan Zhengchang to be so easy to speak, right?

After Li Zhongyi ate the whole bowl of wonton, he ordered Zhang Sanzheng to give more money, which could be regarded as helping Chang Gui, so that he would not risk going out to make money and buy medicine.

In this era, the poor really can't afford to see a doctor and can't afford medicine. Often, minor illnesses depend on boiling, and major illnesses can only wait for death.

The conditions of the imperial court were very limited, and it was impossible for Li Zhongyi to implement free medical care, after all, the number of professionally trained Langzhong was extremely rare.

As far as traditional Chinese medicine is concerned, it pays attention to the special treatment of special diseases, and the application of medicine according to people and diseases, which invisibly increases the difficulty of cultivating qualified langzhong.

Generally speaking, without 30 years of medical experience, it is difficult to achieve great things!

Therefore, the famous doctors of this era are often old Chinese medicine doctors who are more than half a hundred years old.

Now that the world has not yet been unified, and the northern captives still threaten the northern tranquility of the empire, Li Zhongyi is temporarily unable to spare his hands to train a team of doctors in modern medicine.

Although Li Zhongyi had already seen through Yan Zhengchang's secret tricks, he pretended to know nothing and didn't say anything.

As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observed, there will be no fugitives!

As long as Yan Zhengchang is not corrupt or takes bribes, and can resolutely implement the policies of the imperial court, he will be a good official.

As for the details of ushering in the send-off, Li Zhongyi didn't think it was a big deal, he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and it passed.
