Yang Baize stood at the bottom of the steps, looking up at the plaque that read 'Inuyama Castle Propaganda Division', and the lower row was marked with the translation in Japanese.

This was the rule set by Emperor Longwu when he had just conquered the Japanese people.

However, with the deepening of the education of the Japanese people, Ming has become the lingua franca here, and there is no longer a need to translate in the local language. It is enough to see that the history of this plaque is probably not short.

On the left and right sides of the yamen stand two half-human-high huge stone pillars, on which lie two mechanical lions, and the feet are not the common stone hydrangeas in the empire, but the two dogs in the culture of the Japanese people.

The Guardian Lion stared at the unfamiliar young man with dark red eyes, and a faint buzzing sound came from his chest.

Click.

Yang Baize popped out two symmetrical black yarn hat wings on both sides of the crown on his head, and I saw him lift the front of the green shirt and shake it gently, and a heron jumped on his chest, leading his neck to roar.

The two grinning guards suddenly died down, and the vigilant light in their eyes immediately dimmed.

"Even two dead things bully the soft and fear the hard."

Yang Baize shook his head and smiled bitterly, slandering in his heart. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Li Jun, who was deliberately standing one step behind him.

"It's good that I found a harder one in advance."

Crossing the threshold at the height of his calf in front of the door, in accordance with the rules of 'life in the east and death in the west, entering and exiting in the west' formulated by the Imperial Ministry of Rites, Yang Baize took Li Jun through the long rain channel and entered the Yimen.

After the Yimen, it is the most important place of the entire Xuanfu Division's yamen, the public court.

A public case is placed in the center, and the four bright red characters of "Silence" and "Avoidance" are projected left and right, suspended in the air. The killing sticks that were usually inserted on the left and right were removed and replaced with two rows of chairs.

Although it was already the end of the day, the chairs were already full of people.

Only the first place on the left-hand side is still vacant.

"When I received the notice from the ministry, this commander thought that the time was written incorrectly, but I didn't expect Yang Tongzhi that you really arrived."

It was greeted by a hearty laugh.

The person who spoke had a wide nose and thick lips, a beard and thick eyebrows, was wearing a red military attache robe, and the complement on his chest was a golden-haired beast, staring at the heron on Yang Baize's body.

"Below is the commander of the Inuyama City Propaganda Division, Huang Yue."

Yang Baize bowed and saluted, "I've seen Commander Huang." ”

"Brother Yang doesn't have to be polite, in the future, we will be colleagues who get along day and night, the coming day is long, brother, you are always so polite."

Huang Yue only had Yang Baize in his eyes at the moment, and he didn't pay attention to Li Jun who was following behind him, and diligently led the other party to sit down in that vacant seat.

Li Jun, who was hanging in place, didn't say a word, and stood behind Yang Baize with a black umbrella and watched the changes.

Today he is only a supporting role, and he doesn't need to show these meaningless limelights.

"Except for the consolation envoy who has returned to the empire in accordance with the imperial edict, all the other colleagues of our yamen have arrived."

Huang Yue sat at the top of the right row and said with a smile: "I'll introduce you to my brother one by one?" ”

"Don't bother Commander Huang."

Yang Baize declined the other party's kindness and raised his eyes to look at the Confucian student sitting next to him.

"If I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency should be the official in charge of government affairs of the Propaganda Division, Lord Luo Heluo, right?"

"In Xia Luohe, I have seen Lord Yang."

This person named Luo He looks handsome and gentle, righteous and awe-inspiring, which is exactly the same as the description of the appearance of Qing officials in the history and culture of the empire.

placed in the empire itself, it is enough to become a standard template for the 'official appearance' in the major black doctors.

"I didn't expect Lord Yang to be promoted to the same acquaintance from the sixth grade at such a young age, he is really young and promising. Let us be ashamed of those who are still doing nothing in the year of our establishment. ”

Although he looks good, as soon as Luo He opened his mouth, there was a look of sycophancy between his eyebrows.

"In the future, when the new policy is implemented, I will ask Yang Tongzhi to take care of it."

"Lord Luo is polite, you are a Confucian Seventh, and I am just a Confucian Eighth who has just started. According to the old rule of Confucianism, 'the master is the teacher', I still have to call you senior brother." ”

Although Yang Baize is the first time to become an official, during the period of studying with Pei Xingjian, he has already understood the flattery in the officialdom.

Immediately, he just smiled and praised each other with Luo He, and then set his eyes on the remaining four.

"The four of them should be the Japanese people of Inuyama Castle, right?"

Inuyama Castle is divided into five districts, southeast, northwest, and middle. Except for the Qin Capital of the Central District, which was planted in the hands of Jinyiwei, the remaining four are all here.

"My subordinates have seen Yang Tongzhi." The four districts all got up at the same time and bowed to Yang Baize.

The slightly stiff words fell into Li Jun's ears, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

These people are the Japanese people.

However, he immediately remembered some of the things that Ghost King Da had introduced to him, about the situation of the Xuanwei Division's yamen.

In the early days when the Japanese people were just established, it was established by the Yamen of the Xuanwei Division, the garrison military town and the Jinyi Guard.

There are reasons for collaboration, but also checks and balances.

The garrison military town was responsible for maintaining order, the Xuanwei Division Yamen was responsible for maintaining law and order, and the Jinyiwei was undoubtedly responsible for fighting Honghu and other rebel groups operating in the Japanese area.

However, after the 'Great Dynasty Debate', the New Donglin Party implemented a policy of 'indoctrination'. In order to appease the people, he ordered all the garrisons to be withdrawn to the uninhabited area outside the ten cities, and they were not allowed to enter the city to harass the people's lives.

As a result, the pressure on the Yamen of the Propaganda Division increased sharply, and at the same time it had to expand the number of garrisons in each city, and at the same time, it recruited local well-known Japanese people to serve as the capital, acting as a lubricant between the Propaganda Division and the people.

These Japanese people who can become the capital are either the heads of the families with big surnames in the city, or they have descendants working in the sequence of heavy enterprises, or they themselves are in the sequence.

On weekdays, they are mainly under the management of the central district, and they can be regarded as an important backbone of the Xuanwei Division.

"In the future, the stability of Inuyama Castle will require everyone's concerted efforts."

The four of them nodded and echoed in unison: "Please rest assured Yang Tongzhi." ”

"No wonder brother, you don't need my introduction, it turns out that you have already done your homework. Since everyone has met, why don't you enhance your relationship again? ”

Huang Yue's tone was bold, he got up and raised his hand, and slapped it in the air.

The servants who had been waiting next to him immediately rushed in, with various drinks and dishes on the tray in their hands.

Seeing this, the other five people got up one after another and prepared to take their seats.

Only Yang Baize sat in place and did not move.

"Brother, you here. Is it tired? ”

Huang Yue's face stiffened, and then he made a look of sudden realization, patted his forehead and said: "It's because I didn't think it through, it took thousands of miles from Chongqing Mansion to the Japanese People's District, and I was tired all the way, and I must be very tired now." ”

"That's not as good as this, let's raise a cup together, the right is to pick up the wind for you, Brother Yang, and then brother, how about you go to rest again?"
