It was drizzling.
Lu Bu drove the carriage to Beiyuan.
The formation of Beiyuan, like the Nancheng Industrial Zone, was transformed by the Construction Division. It covers an area of one hundred and sixty acres, ninety mansions, twenty gardens, and four spacious walkways.
Overall, it's bigger than the Thorn Mansion.
However, the construction of the North Garden did not take much time, and it did not take much time.
Because these mansions, gardens, and sidewalks, are all ready-made. It took only a month for the craftsmen to build a two-person high wall on the periphery of the 90 mansions, and then build four gates, east, west, north and south, and slightly change the interior of the North Garden.
"Where are Mr. Gongtai and Lord Xiao He?" Coming to the west gate of Beiyuan, Lu Bu got out of the carriage and asked the Dragon Guard soldiers standing at the door.
The soldiers all knew Lu Bu and took Lu Bu there.
Entering the gate of the North Garden, I crossed two sidewalks and turned four corners before I came to a super luxurious and majestic building. It looks like a courtyard house, but it has two attics.
Lu Bu raised his eyes and looked, at the gate of the courtyard, there were three words written on it---- Military Aircraft Department!
"It's kind of interesting." Lu Bu smiled and said to the soldier who led the way: "You go back, I'll just go in by myself." β
"No."
The soldier left.
Lu Bu entered the lobby of the Military Aircraft Department, where there were more than a dozen officials, who were busy in a hurry. Xiao He sorted out the information, Chen Gong studied the map, and Liu Bowen drank tea on the side.
"Ahem..." Lu Bu coughed lightly.
"My lord." When everyone saw Lu Bu, they hurriedly saluted.
"Don't be polite, keep busy."
"No."
Walking up to Liu Bowen, Lu Bu had an urge to strangle him, took a deep breath, and said, "Berwen is so idle, is there nothing to do?" β
Liu Bowen said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "With Mr. Gongtai and Lord Xiao He presiding over the overall situation, Xu Yang and the two states are peaceful and fine, and their ability to humble themselves is limited.... β
"Shit, you're still limited?" Lu Bu interrupted him, and after thinking about it, he didn't blame much, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you continue to drink tea, be careful not to be strung to death." β
Liu Bowen didn't care too much, maybe he was ready to be scolded by Lu Bu. After Lu Bu left, he sat down and continued to drink tea.
Xiao He and Chen Gong are very different from Liu Bowen. The two of them are very active in doing things, and they have never stopped being busy, even if Lu Bu came, they also flipped through the notebook with a notebook in their hands.
Lu Bu stepped forward, found a place to sit down, and said, "Don't be busy, come and tell me, what's going on in Beiyuan?" β
Xiao He put down the notebook and said: "My lord, there are ninety mansions in Beiyuan, all of which were used to seal up the family and family, and after the operation and construction of the department was rebuilt, they were used for the office of officials. For example, the Military Aircraft Department, the Department of Internal Affairs, the Sixth Department, the Construction Department, the Wenxian Pavilion, the Wuying Palace, the headquarters of the commercial bank, the bank office, etc., are all in the North Garden. Moreover, around Beiyuan is the residence of officials, which is convenient for them to go back and rest. β
"Yes, with Beiyuan, it is fast to issue government orders. You don't have to run around like you used to. Chen Gong said.
"Hmm."
Lu Bu nodded: "When I first returned to the city, I saw many shops on the street, did you open them?" β
"It's not..."
"Sit down and talk." Lu Bu waved his hand.
"Thank you, Lord." Two people were seated.
Xiao He said: "Those shops on the street are the cooperation of chambers of commerce and banks, and they are recommended by the newspaper and the Democratic League to select people with the best reputation, the best reputation, and a certain business acumen, and support them to open stores. When they make a profit, they will pay it back to the bank. β
"Many people can't even afford to eat with dozens of dollars. However, with the NLD as a guarantee, you can register with the Chamber of Commerce and borrow money from the bank. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands. After the shops were up, many wealthy people saw it and followed suit, and in just two months, the streets of Shouchun were full of shops, which was very different from the past. β
"Well done, who came up with this idea?" Lu Bu asked excitedly.
"It's the Golden Lotus Mistress Mother. As soon as it opened, I was still against it, for fear that the people would take the money and leave, causing huge losses to the bank, but I didn't expect that the people made a profit and consciously repaid the money. Xiao He said.
"If you make a profit, of course you won't be willing to leave." Lu Bu smiled: "Fortunately, you didn't stop it, otherwise there would be no Shouchun now." β
"The lord went to Jingzhou, what did he gain?" Chen Gong diverted the topic.
"Of course there is a reward." Lu Bu told Chen Gong and Xiao He about his trip to Jingzhou, and all the things before and after, including being ambushed by Huang Zu, and finally eliminating Huang Zu and capturing Jiangxia County.
After listening, Chen Gong and Xiao He were shocked into a cold sweat.
"Not good. The lord deceived Kuai Yue of 50,000 stone of grain, how could he be willing to give up? Chen Gong was taken aback and said, "An army should be sent immediately to garrison Jiangxia County to avoid a counterattack by Kuaiyue." β
"Mr. Gongtai may not know much about the affairs of Jingzhou, Kuai Yue is the main internal affairs, and there is no force to attack Jiangxia. Cai Mao is mainly military, but he is a sworn enemy with Kuai Yue. If you want to rule Jingzhou, you will never be our enemy. β
"I see."
Chen Gong thought for a moment and said, "But... In Huainan, there is no war, and there is not much need for troops to garrison, so General Xiang Yu should be allowed to go to the front line of Huiji and Lujiang to garrison, and transfer Zhang Liao's troops to Jiangxia. Don't forget, the lord, there are also Jiangdong's soldiers watching sloppily, so you have to guard against it. β
"Okay, you have the final say."
"No."
"My lord, this is a list of officials at all levels." Xiao He handed a thick booklet to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu took it in his hand, didn't look at it, threw it on the table, and said: "All the promotions, appointments and dismissals of ordinary officials are decided by the Ministry of Officials and the Department of Internal Affairs, so you don't need to tell me." I don't have time for all this. β
"Yes."
Xiao He knew that this must be the result, but he couldn't help but show it to Lu Bu.
After learning about Beiyuan, Lu Bu left.
In the next two days, he went to the Nancheng Industrial Zone and the North School Yard successively, and saw the structure and operation of dozens of factories, and the school drills Long Weijun, as well as the soldiers and horses of Luo Cheng and Mu Guiying.
Overall, everything was fine.
On this day, the pilgrimage meeting is routine.
LΓΌ Bu announced the establishment of a shadow command, responsible for investigating the enemy's situation and supervising hundreds of officials, with Nie Zheng as the shadow commander, and under LΓΌ Bu's instructions, anyone (including generals who lead a single army, important officials of the Military Aircraft Department and the Department of Internal Affairs) can be arrested and executed in private.
In other words, the appearance of the shadow has become a knife hanging over everyone's heads.
"My lord must not..."
"The officials have committed a crime and should be handed over to the Criminal Department for public interrogation and execution, how can it be handed over to the Shadow? If the case is not made public, how can the public be persuaded to kill the official who committed the crime? β
Many people stood up against it, and even Xiao He and Chen Gong did not approve of the establishment of the Shadow.
Nie Zheng stood in the court and was completely isolated.
Lu Bu's eyebrows tightened, and he said: "Establish a shadow, mainly for officials at the county level, to avoid corruption and bribery, and harm to the people." Anyone who executes a fourth-rank official or higher will report it to me for information. If you are not corrupt, what are you afraid of? β
