Time is like flowing water, a year and six months have passed in the blink of an eye, and last year seems to be like yesterday.

The Chinese Empire has developed rapidly in the past year and six months, and after the civil and military imperial examinations a year ago, the officials of the three counties of the Chinese Empire have been filled.

Most of these officials who have passed the civil and military examinations are novices, so the Chinese Imperial Government has come up with a way, which is to arrange for old officials to bring new officials, and to make these new officials familiar with the affairs at hand as quickly as possible.

It has to be said that this method is the most feasible method at present, and this method enables officials who have passed the imperial examination to quickly get started with their own work.

It should be for the arrival of these fresh and energetic officials that the officials of the older generation of the Chinese Empire have burst out again.

The officials of the older generation don't want to be compared to these young people! Wouldn't it be a shame if these young people were promoted faster than they did?

Now it seems that this way of competing and helping each other between the older and new generation officials is something that the imperial court of the Chinese Empire is very happy to see.

Moreover, this kind of competition will not turn into vicious competition, because the talents recruited by the imperial examination of the Chinese Imperial Government last year are not enough for the current Chinese Empire.

Although the officials who passed the imperial examination were populated, the state and county governments were barely able to function. But this is only barely functioning, and there are still many departments that are in dire need of manpower.

For example, the number of teachers in the Ministry of Rites is still insufficient, although Rites has recruited some literate people from the people many times before the imperial examination, which temporarily fills the scarcity of teachers in the Chinese Empire.

However, with the Chinese Empire taking Luzhou and Luozhou, the number of teachers suddenly returned to the point of scarcity.

Moreover, teachers are more scarce this time than when they occupied Wanzhou in the past, so it will happen that the Manchu civil and military will teach together.

The Chinese Empire is not only short of teachers, but also lacks professional manpower in the Public Security Department under the Criminal Department, after all, it is too rare to find a group of people who understand the law.

The current method of the Public Security Department is to recruit a group of people who have a general understanding of the criminal law of China, and after one month of training, let them see and learn more by the side of the old public security.

To put it bluntly, these newcomers to the public security department are either civilian personnel who handle copywriting, or military personnel who deal with some daily disputes among the people, arrest some petty thieves, and manage social order and maintain order in counties and villages.

Although the commanders of the public security departments are military positions, the commanders of public security and health stations are also military positions, and the thousands of households and hundreds of households are also military positions, this does not mean that the public security departments and the various health centers, thousands of households, and hundreds of households under their command do not have civilian positions, in fact, the public security departments have civilian positions, and the scarce personnel of the public security departments are civilian personnel.

The newly recruited people from the government departments of the Huaxia Empire can only be said to be basically enough to squeeze, but if there is abundance, it will definitely not exist.

In the past year and six months, in addition to the civil and military examinations, the roads leading from Meijing to the various counties have also been basically paved.

The roads in each state and county were carried out at the same time, and after the calculation, measurement and planning of the Ministry of Industry, the construction of roads in Luzhou and Luozhou was started at the same time, and finally the roads converged in Wanzhou.

In addition, the cities of various counties and counties in Luzhou and Luozhou have also been built, and various departments and plans in the city have also been completed, and the only thing that is still under construction is the city wall and moat.

Therefore, in addition to their respective state cities, Luzhou and Luozhou still use wooden walls for other cities.

In addition to building roads and cities, the Ministry of Industry also set up sesame oil street lamps carved from stone on the sides of the main roads in various cities, and there is a ceramic oil lamp in the lantern of the oil road, and at night, the public security officer in charge of patrolling will light the oil lamp to illuminate the road.

The sesame oil street lamp was not set up by Gaoyang Yajun, but existed during the period of the first emperor. According to Prime Minister Mei Andao, after the first emperor became king, he found that everyone lit bonfires for lighting, so the first emperor created oil lamps.

In the early days, due to various reasons, sesame oil lamps were only popularized in the office spaces of various departments. Even the royal palace and the palaces of the various ministers did not use incense lamps.

At that time, candles were still used in the royal palace and in the palaces of the ministers, and the real popularity of incense lamps was only in the last four or five years.

In the last four or five years, with the improvement of living conditions and technology, sesame oil lamps have gradually spread to the royal palace and the palaces of ministers.

Two or three years ago, as the country became richer, sesame oil lamps spread to Meijing and various counties near Meijing.

Although sesame oil lamps have become popular, they were only used by large households and government departments in the past. After Gaoyang Yajun succeeded to the throne, after a year of governance by Gaoyang Yajun and the Ministry of Agriculture, the people of Wanzhou are no longer worried about food, and the people are getting richer and richer.

In this context, Gao Yang Yajun naturally took advantage of the situation to lift the curfew system, and after Gao Yang Yajun lifted the curfew, the night market in Huaxia was declared legal.

It can be said that it was Gaoyang Yajun who started the full-time Huaxia, and after the curfew was lifted, the merchants in various cities in China also continued to open at night, so the merchants placed an oil lamp at the door of their shop.

But it is not possible to place oil lamps at the door, most of the roads are still dark, so after Gao Yang Yajun's hint, Hubu Shangshu Feng Jialan quietly told these businessmen to ask Gao Yang Yajun to set up street lamps.

The merchants did so, but Gao Yang refused their request by telling them that the treasury was empty and that it was a thankless effort to set up street lights.

How could this businessman be willing, after all, the street lamps illuminate the road, and the people can come to their shops and restaurants to consume with peace of mind! In this way, their customers are more numerous, so they play again, and they feel that they pay for the construction of the street lights, and the built street lights are owned by the state.

With such good conditions, Gao Yang Yajun immediately agreed to their request.

After setting up the street lights, the people were at ease when they walked at night, and they could also rest assured that they could boldly go to their restaurants and shops to consume without worrying about being robbed, and the income of the night market merchants increased several times at once.

It was in this environment that the merchant again invested in the purchase of shops in the counties of Rookju and Naju, and then continued to invest in the construction of street lights.

Especially at night in Meijing, the lights are bright, the crowds are crowded, and Meijingcheng, the capital of the Chinese Empire, is a veritable city that never sleeps.

There are all kinds of shops in the Meijing Night Market, including those selling clothing, supper stalls selling supper, tea rooms for storytelling and tea, troupes for juggling, and Qinglou for discussing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., Meijing is really an extremely prosperous city.
