Half an hour later, the group left through the side gate of the palace.

Xia Qi was dressed in a black robe embroidered with silver lines, and walked in the front.

Zhang Liang followed behind Xia Qi.

Looking at Zhang Liang, who had more than a dozen jade pendants hanging from his waist, Xia Qi couldn't help but be a little speechless, he was a private interview with Weifu, you are so high-profile, and you have a private interview!

But who makes the talent of the family like that?

The more strange-grade jade you wear, the more your intelligence and spirit will grow.

Around Xia Qi, more than a dozen big men hid around Xia Qi, isolating all the people who wanted to get close to him.

Unconsciously, Xia Qi came to the Martyrs' Garden outside the city, and looked at the tombstones, and sighed secretly in his heart.

At this moment, one of the guards suddenly pointed behind a tombstone and said, "Your Majesty, there is a man there!" ”

Xia Qi followed the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, there was a person lying in the shadow of a tombstone.

"Let's take a look."

Everyone walked over to take a look, only to see an old man curled up on the ground, his eyes closed and unconscious.

"Old man, old man, wake up."

One of the guards stepped forward, shaking his old body, and it took a while for the other party to wake up.

"Hungry ......"

Hearing this, the guard took out a piece of bread from his bosom and put it in front of the old man.

As a guard, you must be fully prepared.

The old man grabbed the dough and devoured it, even though he choked and rolled his eyes, but the movements on his mouth still did not stop.

"Eat a lot, don't rush."

As he spoke, the guard handed the water bladder to the old man.

After a while, the old man finished the dough and drank a few more sips of water, which was considered to be relieved.

The old man struggled to stand up, and said gratefully to Xia Qi: "Little old man, thank you for your life-saving grace." ”

Xia Qi smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that this little old man has the foresight and knows who is the leader.

"It doesn't matter."

Xia Qi waved his hand, and then asked, "Why is the old man here?" ”

The old man replied, "Little Lao'er came to this Great Xia City yesterday, but the city gate was closed at that time. Xiao Lao'er was cold and tired at that time, and he searched outside the city for a long time, and finally found such a place. ”

Xia Qi asked again: "The old man sleeps here, isn't he scared at night?" ”

The old man grinned when he heard this, and replied, "Why be afraid? They are all heroes who defend our Great Xia! ”

The old man's words moved Xia Qi's heart, yes, what is there to be afraid of?

"The old man's home is not in Great Xia City?"

The old man shook his head and replied, "Little Lao'er is from Yangcheng. ”

Xia Qi thought about it in his mind for a moment, but he never remembered the place of Yang Cheng, and it was only after Zhang Liang's reminder that he had an impression.

Yangcheng is a small city in the west of Great Xia, and if you want to come to Great Xia City, you need to go through most of it.

"That's not close. The old man came to Daxia City to visit relatives and friends? ”

Unknowingly, the old man shook his head and replied, "No, the little old man is here to sue the emperor." ”

Sue the royal court!

Hearing this, everyone present trembled.

This Great Xia, I'm afraid it's going to change again.

Xia Qi's face remained unchanged, and he asked the old man, "Can the old man tell me why you are suing the emperor?" ”

"Childe is Xiao Lao'er's life-saving benefactor, Childe wants to know, and Xiao Lao'er has no reason to hide it."

Xu Wei knew that Xia Qi's origin was not small, and it might be helpful for him to sue the emperor in the future, so he did not hesitate at the moment and told the reason why he wanted to sue the emperor.

The old man was a farmer in a village outside Yangcheng and had two sons.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

In the spring, the river rises and floods the land on both sides, leaving fertile land when the water recedes.

The city issued a notice stating that the peasant households could reclaim the land along the river on their own, and that all the land reclaimed would belong to the reclaimers, and that they would be subject to five years of agricultural taxes.

The old man and his two sons got up early and worked late at night, and finally reclaimed nearly 20 acres of farmland.

For this reason, the eldest son of the old man was tired.

Just when the family was looking forward to their future life, a small official came to the door, claiming that the newly reclaimed rabbits needed to be uniformly distributed.

Then give the old man a piece of paper and ask him to sign it.

The old man's family did not suspect him, and because he was illiterate, he pressed a handprint on it.

Who knows, when the fields were allocated, the old man's family only got a few acres of mountain fields, and they were still fragmented.

Of course, the old man's family was not convinced, claiming that they would report to the official.

Unexpectedly, the original little official reappeared, still holding the document he had pressed his handprint on.

At this time, the old Han family knew that the original certificate they signed was the certificate of reclamation of 20 acres of land, but the transfer document.

The transfer document clearly stated that the old man had exchanged the reclaimed land for five acres of mountain fields with the big families in the city.

"Are we stupid? Twenty acres of water for five acres of his mountain fields? ”

When the old man said this, his face was full of grief and indignation.

The young son of the little old man was disgruntled and ran to the big family to theorize. As a result, he was beaten by the evil slave commanded by the man, and when he returned home, he was already less inlet and more angry. That night, the man was gone. My eldest son, who was already bedridden and filled with grief, died soon after. ”

Speaking of which, the old man is already full of tears.

At this time, Xia Qi's face was already black and turned into the bottom of the pot.

After a while, the old man continued to swallow more: "In just a few days, the two sons who depend on each other are gone, and I was originally thinking of one death, but when I think of the two sons dying in vain, I am unwilling!" ”

"I went to the government to file a complaint, but they said that without a complaint, the city lord would not accept it. Xiao Lao'er asked someone to write a statement and went to the government again. ”

"The result...... Results ......"

When he said this, the old man's face was already red.

"As a result, I found out at that time that the city lord and the big families in the city had long colluded together, and the earlier notice was that they joined forces to deceive us!"

"The little old man was unwilling, and after returning home, he sold his family property and wanted to come to Daxia City to sue the emperor. But the men, who had heard the news from somewhere, stopped me halfway through and put me in a small courtyard in the middle of the city. And it was also strictly guarded. ”

"On the way, I also heard that the scholar who helped me with some paper-like papers was also seriously injured."

Speaking of the scholar, the old man had some grievances in his heart.

"The scholar is also a bit famous in our side, with integrity and a penchant for helpfulness. Now, if you offend the city lord, I'm afraid it's ......"

The old man sighed, and then talked about himself again.

"I knew that I couldn't do this, and I couldn't escape, so I said I wouldn't go to the lawsuit. The other side first observed for a few days, and saw that I was indeed relieved, and then relaxed the supervision of me. ”

"After some time, I said that I was going to weed the graves of my two sons, and I was able to get out of the city. After throwing away the man who was guarding me, I went out day and night, and made a detour, and this is how I came to this Great Xia City. ”

Listening to the old man finish telling his story, Xia Qi's face at this time had returned to normal.

"Zhang Liang."

Xia Qi's voice was flat as usual, but Zhang Liang couldn't help but shudder.

Because those who know Xia Qi well know that he is far more terrifying at this time than when he is angry.

"Wechen is here!"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"Are all the people of the Tikas blind and deaf? Or have they been bought? ”

Zhang Liang immediately knelt on the ground, and said to Xia Qi in a loud voice: "Weichen is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Although Zhang Liang is now the secretary general of the secretariat, he is also the director of the Tiqi Division.

"It's already happened, what's the use of saying it now? Check, check to the end! I really don't believe it, only Yang Cheng had such a thing happen in the entire Great Xia. ”

"Also, the Tish's spies must have known about it, but if they didn't report it, it proves that they are no longer reliable. Except for the spies in the steppes, I want you to take stock of the entire Tiqis. ”

Xia Qi's fluttering words made Zhang Liang close his eyes in pain.

After saying this, Xia Qi got up and walked towards the Great Xia City.

And the old man, after learning that Xia Qi was the emperor of Great Xia, fainted with a grunt.

Hall of Service.

Xia Qi wrote in a hurry, and on the blank pieces of paper were some of his thoughts on the structure of the officials of Great Xia.

Now those city lords in Daxia have very great power, and all the officials and officials of a city are promoted by him, so that sooner or later, the entire city will become his hall.

In addition, the city lord has served in one place, often for more than ten years or even decades.

You must know that this is how the local wealthy families and gate valves were born.

So Xia Qi was wondering if there was a new system that could replace it.

The answer is yes.

Whether it is the imperial examination system in ancient China or the examination and compilation in modern society, it is a very good system for collecting talents.

The reason why Xia Qi gave the city lords of each city such a big power before, and even the city lords of the Great Zhou at that time were not replaced, was because of the scarcity of talents in Great Xia at that time, even if Xia Qi removed them all, there would be no talent to make up for them.

But now it is different, over the years, Xia Qi has vigorously carried out culture and education, and schools have been built in various cities, and some cities have built more than one school.

Since then, the literacy rate of the people in Great Xia has begun to rise significantly, for example, the old man's family is illiterate, and there are only a few cases.

But then again, if someone in the old man's family is literate, he will not be deceived, and in the end he will end up in a ruined situation.

After Xia Qi's long-term thinking, he finally came up with a combination system similar to scientific research and examination editing.

That is, each city will report the missing number of officials, and then issue it after the integration of Great Xia City, and determine a unified examination time.

When the time comes, anyone who aspires to enter the government can take the exam during this time.

At the same time, in order to avoid the occurrence of favoritism and irregularities, there will be an inspection team responsible for supervising at that time.

Once something such as cheating and fraud happens, you will go directly to prison.

Then the official position of the city lord was removed and replaced with a county order.

And the city was withdrawn and the county was established, and the city was changed to a county.

However, it does not force the people to change their titles, but only on official documents.

The counties in the world are divided into upper, middle, and lower levels, depending on the official's usual performance.....

Two days later, a monitoring team left Daxia City, and their task was to go to the cities of the human administrative region to investigate whether the officials of each city were engaged in favoritism, corruption, and bribery.

Because this move was bound to provoke a backlash from local officials, Xia Qi specially sent 500 soldiers to the body.

If anyone dares to resist, they can be killed!

The mastermind of this supervision group is none other than the former supervisor and beheader, Yi Zong.

And their first battle was Yang Cheng.

Originally, it was the right of Tiqi to supervise hundreds of officials, but now Tiqi has a problem, so now Xia Qi has to consider a new secret service department.

As for Ti Cai, then return to his old profession and specialize in anti-theft.
