Gao Panlong said that when he entered Beijing, he said that he would go back to Beijing the next day, not that he would have to travel day and night to Beijing the next day, on the contrary, he walked slowly and detoured far. He first walked along the canal from Nanzhili to Shandong, mainly to see if there was a place along the canal to keep up with Lin Yuan Huangzhuang, which was the apocalypse asked him to understand the situation for the promotion of the new farm. After arriving in Jiaozhou, Shandong, he turned west to Henan, mainly to see whether the big royal families, including chromium, had returned to the fields, and then went to Shanxi to learn about the preparations for mining in various parts of Shanxi, and to see if the new eunuchs who were responsible for mining had bullied others.

After arriving in Beizhili, he did not return to Beijing directly, but first went to Tianjin to see the construction of a large fishing boat. A few months ago, Wang Zaijin of the Bohai Naval Region said that building a large fishing boat can go to the deep sea farther away to catch shrimp and shellfish, kelp and other seafood, which can make up for the lack of food.

It is said that in addition to Gao Panlong, who is responsible for dealing with the mood of local officials, there is also a report that there is a form of economic inspection in Shaanxi, which has caused many officials to not withdraw from the undeserved property, which makes other officials feel unfair.

After Yang Lian finished discussing with Gao Panlong in mid-September, he went on the road, accompanied not only by officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but also by Hong Chengchou from the Military Affairs Department of the Military Affairs Yuan and Hou Sui from the Military Staff Office. It is said that Lin Dan Khan, who was in the Han Department of Mongolia, secretly sent people to the west several times to inquire about the situation, which seemed to be similar to last year's estimate of the Military Affairs Yuan to go west, and the Military Affairs Yuan sent Hou Sui out to inspect the garrisons along the Great Wall after the apocalypse. Hong Chengchou was to check whether the military supervision army sent at the beginning of the year was satisfactory, whether it was a prestige or a blessing, or a passable one, and this matter must also be clearly understood, after all, there is no trivial matter in the army.

Yang Lian, Hong Chengchou, and Hou Sui led 500 soldiers from Beijing, first to Xuanfu, then west through Datong, Yanmen, and Ningwu into Shaanxi, and south through Yan'an to Xi'an. The situation that everyone saw along the way was not so satisfactory, and the soldiers guarding the border everywhere were thin and listless, and Yang Lian shook his head, and it was the end of September when he arrived in Xi'an. I heard that people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Military Affairs Yuan were coming, and the governor, governor, and general soldiers of Shaanxi sent people to go fifteen miles forward to greet them, and when they arrived in Xi'an City, they all participated in the banquet. Although everyone spoke and toasted very politely and enthusiastically, Yang Lian could still see their doubts inadvertently.

The next day, Hong Chengchou and Hou Sui said goodbye to Yang Lian, and the two of them were going to various places to inspect the affairs of the military supervision army, and along the way asked the soldiers guarding the border that everyone did not know that there was also a military supervision army, which made Hong Chengchou and Hou Sui feel that there was a problem and they had to find out the situation.

Judging from the results of Shaanxi's own investigation, there is indeed a case of omission in the form of this economic inspection, but it is not as serious as the person who reported it said. In the past, the economic inspection of officials was supervised by the internal guards, but later, after the Apocalypse threw off the affairs of the DPRK and China, he slowly focused on the big iron company, and correspondingly, the internal guards and the Jinyi guards also gradually transferred the economic inspection to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Without the emperor's order, the Metropolitan Procuratorate commanded the internal guards and the Jinyi guards, and it was taboo to select people from the army.

In the past, the internal guards engaged in economic inspection, which was gentle-tempered but iron-faced and selfless, one was that they only recognized the emperor and Yang Gongchun, the chief of the internal guards, and the other because they had been stabbed in key parts, they had an innate advantage in the resistance to money and beauty, and the most important thing was that they all understood that people who were favoritistic would not live long and would be buried. But then the group of people who came up was not easy to use, it was a leisure official who hadn't smelled the smell of oil for a long time, and he had the power in his hand and love in his heart, and he couldn't be ruthless when he was examined, and the people who were inspected saw the cheapness, and it was not very surprising that something would happen that was mutually beneficial and then turned a blind eye.

Knowing that Yang Lian was investigating the economic inspection, the governor of Shaanxi came to visit him and wanted to explain the situation. Now this governor's surname is Lu, and he was originally a squire in the court who was expected to be promoted to Shangshu, but because he was not a member of the Donglin Party and did not belong to the Donglin Party's favorite person, he was not promoted. But he has a good official reputation, has been diligent and has not made any major mistakes for many years, and belongs to the kind of people who have no merit and hard work, no hard work and fatigue. The Donglin Party also has a sense of shame, embarrassed to do things, seeing that although the old gentleman is old and healthy, the time on the stage is short, thinking that anyway, this person's political life is about to end, let him go to a distant place in Shaanxi to exert his residual heat.

Governor Lu didn't like the Donglin Party in his heart, thinking that they had no ability to deal with specific affairs except for empty talk, and knew the reason why he was excluded to Shaanxi, but he didn't express any dissatisfaction, after all, he was still promoted to a second-class official, and he wanted to spend the past few years safely, as long as he didn't make a big mistake and didn't make a big mistake, he would definitely have his own place in the Holy Academy in the future, and then he would talk to you nerds about the level.

Governor Lu was very polite when he saw Yang Lian, and they held hands with each other and talked about friendship that did not exist for a while, and admired each other's exaggerated great achievements, so he turned to the matter of loopholes in economic inspection. Governor Lu first asked: "I heard that someone reported that Shaanxi's economic inspection had covered up each other in a formal manner, did Lord Yang come to investigate and deal with the parties?" ”

Yang Lian said with a smile: "Although I haven't found out who is reporting, but after many investigations, it is certain that there is indeed a matter, but although I am here to investigate this matter, I will not deal with the parties." ”

Governor Lu frowned when he heard this, and said: "Knowing that the imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, and has already locked up all the relevant people in the lower ranks, does Lord Yang say that he will not deal with people mean that the imperial court wants to let them go again now?" ”

Yang Lian thought for a while and said: "The economic inspection system was personally implemented by the emperor, and in the eyes of the emperor, the economic inspection system is more important than the scientific examination system. The emperor once said a sentence in the impression is not sad, he said that an official who will not intentionally infringe on the interests of the people is an official worthy of training, no matter how capable and learned a person is, as long as there are no people in his heart and only look at the money in his bag, then this person is also a pig and a dog, and it is not a pity to kill it. The purpose of this time is to find out the reason, to see if there is a loophole in the system or someone knowingly committed it, and if there is a loophole, it will not involve dealing with people. ”

Governor Lu said: "Then if there are no loopholes in the system but someone knowingly commits a crime, will it be severely punished?" ”

Yang Lian said: "If there are no loopholes in the system, these people will definitely be punished according to the law, and if I let them go, the emperor will not let me go, but the law itself has no leniency and severity, and what punishment should be punished is what is punished." After reading your findings, I tentatively agree with your view that there is a shortage of manpower. However, I would like to know how you are going to change this situation, because this is not a special problem but a universal problem, and if it is not dealt with properly, it will spread throughout the country, and the emperor's economic inspection system will slowly become a formality, and this is the root of the problem. ”

Governor Lu said: "Originally, this matter was originally in charge of the internal guards, but after it was handed over to the province, it was impossible to find a suitable person, so I borrowed ♀ the people who were originally going to be sent to be the imperial history supervisor, and some people who had either made mistakes or lived for a long time and had no future. Now it is not easy to find a more suitable person, it is said that some officials directly said to the supervisor that they would not report half of the person, Lord Yang, please think about it, who can do not like silver by nature? ”

Yang Lian suddenly realized and said: "It means that there is not a single low-level supervisor on the front line in all parts of the way, and it turns out that they have all been taken away by you, is this the case in Shaanxi and Henan?" ”

Governor Lu said: "Not only this province, but also other provinces" For a period of time, the imperial court said that it would send people to the provinces to serve as the imperial history supervisors, but only a few were sent from each province, and I heard that most of them were sent to several military regions such as the Liaodong front. Later, the provinces were asked to select willing people among the middle and lower-level officials and retired officials, but Shaanxi selected more than 200 people, and the army did not like it, saying that they did not have any military literacy, and they were not enough to succeed and more than to lose, so they had no choice but to place them in another place and prepare for more training before using them. ”

Yang Lian thought for a while and said: "People can be changed, there is no inherently useful person ♀, let's go elsewhere to understand the situation, Governor Lu will go back and find a way to publish a document to inform all Shaanxi officials about this matter, so that they can remember the lesson and continue to do things without burden." ”

Governor Lu said, "What about these people who have been locked up? How should we deal with economic inspections in the future? ”

Yang Lian thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Now there is no way but to treat headaches and pain in the feet, anyway, economic inspection is only used when officials take office and leave office, and let them discuss a system after returning to Beijing next time." As for these locked up people to be released first and let them make meritorious contributions, it is still necessary to let the original supervisors inspect the original officials to see if they can make mistakes and correct them. ”

Governor Lu said: "I have been thinking about this matter for a month, and now I have come up with a good idea, that is, let the people who supervise others also be strictly supervised, what does Lord Yang think?" ”
