    Chapter 198 Meeting Gao Xiaosan again (1)

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When Shang Cheng and several major yamen of the Department of Health discussed the idea of ??establishing the Yanshan Disaster Relief Interim General Department, neither Lu Ji nor Di Xu saw the reason, and did not pay much attention to it, so they readily agreed.  It is obvious that this temporary office does not occupy the official establishment of the Department of Health and does not require many manpower. It only handles some problems that even they find difficult. They really have no reason to object.

    But they soon realized that this small yamen was not as simple as they imagined.

    Shang Cheng proposed that he should be in charge of the general affairs department, with Lu Ji Di Xu as his right-hand man, and the chief officials of several major yamen in the Department of Health, as well as Yanzhou magistrate Tao Qi, and Zhou Xuejiao Yu Wenlun.  The chief clerk of the small government office.  This means that all the heads and heads of the Yanshan Health Department and Yanzhou local government are included in this small yamen. You can only imagine how much role this small yamen can play!  What¡¯s even more surprising is that the General Secretary has more than a dozen directors, deputy directors, and chief clerks, but there is only one deacon who actually does things

    Lu Ji and Di Xu immediately realized that although the deacon of this small yamen seemed to have no power, but with so many senior Yanshan officials standing behind him, his "authority" was simply terrifying!  No, this position must be performed by one of their own!  They immediately had a fierce dispute over the selection of deacons, desperately trying to persuade the other party to agree to their personnel plan.  Just when they were arguing with each other, Shang Cheng came up with a compromise.  He recommended Huo Shiqi from Yi County to be the deacon, and then appointed the left and right Sicheng as Huo Shiqi's assistant in the General Governor's Department. The candidates for Sicheng were recommended by the Mufu and the Inspection Department respectively.  Lu Ji immediately agreed with Shang Cheng's proposal.  He certainly had his reasons for doing so.  First of all, as Wei Mu who assisted the admiral in handling local government affairs, he could not openly oppose Shang Cheng; secondly, with the opposition of Di Xu and the Inspectorate, he could not win this position for the Wei Mu government.  Besides, he didn't suffer a loss, since the Inspectorate couldn't get what he wanted anyway, so it would be better for Shangcheng and Huo Shiqi to have a friendly relationship.

    Di Xu had the same idea as Lu Ji and agreed with Huo Shiqi to be the deacon of the General Fusi.  However, he pointed out that Huo Shiqi's resume is not good.  Huo Shiqi was a scribe who was reprimanded by the government for his work, and was later expelled from the official school. Although this time he had achieved military merit and was awarded the civil service of Chengwulang by the court, but if he was suddenly promoted, would it cause criticism from below?

    This time, Lu Ji rarely agreed with Di Xu.  Lu Bofu tactfully reminded Shang Cheng that Huo Shiqi was related to him. If he did this, others would definitely think of him for it without saying anything.

    Shang Cheng told them that when reviewing the old files from the year before last, the state school found that there were doubts about Huo Shiqi's dismissal of his title, and had already sent the letter to the academic officials in Duanzhou and Yi County for them to review and report truthfully.  As for Huo Shiqi being reviled in Yi County, Shang Cheng thought it was not worth mentioning.  Huo Shiqi was only involved in the Nanguan Daying fraud case, and was not really found guilty of corruption. He was kicked out of the Yi County Yamen, which was considered a small punishment but a big punishment.  Besides, who can avoid making mistakes?  As long as Huo Shiqi knows his mistakes and can change them, that's fine.  Moreover, this wasted experience can serve as a lesson for him, and he will be more cautious and avoid making mistakes in his official duties in the future.  As for whether his relationship with Huo Shiqi would cause material disputes, Shang Cheng didn't even care - don't avoid relatives when you promote talents!  If Huo Shiqi can do it, let him do it; if Huo Shiqi doesn't have the talent, let someone else do it

    When Shang Cheng reached this point, Lu Ji and Di Xu had nothing more to say.

    The three people unified their opinions, and Shang Cheng convened a few more yamen to hold a meeting to announce the matter. The "Yanshan Disaster Rehabilitation Interim General Secretary" was officially established.

    Before people could figure out what this inexplicable chief minister was doing, people were immediately surprised by the efficiency of this small yamen. They didn't even make a good sign, but they sent dozens of people to various prefectures and counties in one go.  An official.  These humble officials immediately scared the whole place into sweat.  Speaking of which, the highest official position among these people is only a scholar of the ninth rank, and the youngest is a minister of foreign affairs. But who can dare to seriously offend them if they can't stand up to the powerful people behind them?  These people are all talented officials selected by the Admiral's Office, the Wei Mu's Office and the Inspection Department. They are familiar with official affairs and are meticulous in their work. They immediately bring a bit of freshness to the stagnant procrastination habit in the place.  breath.  With their supervision and efforts, the long-lasting aftermath gradually unfolded.

    By early February, the dispute between the right prime minister in the court ended with Zhang Pu's reinstatement. In the notice to Yanshan, Shang Cheng downplayed the matter of Shang Cheng's private release of military rations for relief, saying "there seems to be something wrong", and was still waiting and watching.  Only then did the state and county officials wake up from their dreams. For a while, all places were scrambling to deal with the aftermath, counting the population, registering and registering, calculating money, grain and allocating materials, and all kinds of official documents were flowing towards the Admiral's Mansion like a snowflake.  Especially near YanzhouSeveral counties in the country are working overtime day and night to handle official duties.  In order to make up for their mistakes in official duties some time ago and reverse their bad impression in the eyes of the new admiral, the magistrates and magistrates of these counties even ran from one extreme to the other, simply abandoning the things at hand and leading the team out of the city themselves.  Go to the countryside and solve the difficulties and problems of returning refugees in the fields.  When Shang Cheng learned the news from Tao Qi, he was dumbfounded.

    In February of the 20th year of AD, the entire Yanshan Guard basically spent their time in this hectic yet orderly atmosphere.

    ???????????????????????????? But even after thirty or forty days of busy work, I still achieved great results.  After spending a lot of money and food, around the Qingming Festival, most of the victims who had dispersed to the prefectures and counties in northern Yan returned to their hometowns under the arrangement of the government.  In order not to delay spring plowing, various prefectures and counties also provided them with large amounts of grain rations and large livestock.

    Seeing the reports coming from various places, Shang Cheng in the Admiral's Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    In the past month or so, he has been worrying about what will happen after the refugees return home. Now this hanging stone can finally be put down.  In order to celebrate the good news, he rarely drank a few glasses of wine during lunch. He also made an exception and gave himself a half-day off. He put on ordinary clothes and took a few guards to go shopping.

    It is the Indian summer in March, and the golden sunshine is shining warmly on the earth.  The dilapidated scene in winter has disappeared, and the streets and lanes are full of new looks.  The jujube, apricot, and locust trees that were bare some time ago seemed to have changed into green in the blink of an eye. They were walking leisurely with their branches stretched out in high spirits, stopping from time to time to pick something from a roadside stall.  Two favorite things.  In such a beautiful spring, even the dogs that people keep to look after their homes have become lazy. They lie down in places where they can get the sun, lazily looking at the people coming and going, or simply squinting their eyes.  Take a nap.

    Now, Shang Cheng has arrived at Nanshi.

    Although this place is called Nanshi by Yanzhou people, it is actually not a market, but a very spacious street.  Shang Cheng heard that the real Nanshi was destroyed in a fire more than 20 years ago, and then this street was built on the ruins. In order to commemorate the Chengnan Market that existed in the Middle Tang Dynasty, people named it  Nanshi.  Now, this is still the most prosperous place in Yanzhou. On the streets less than two miles from the north to the south, there are both furs, jewelry, papers, pens, and ink from the north and south. There are large shops with more than four storefronts lined up in rows, all of which are Cang Ying.  Green tiles and green bricks are laid all the way to the top, with painted eaves, black columns and carved arches.  Further south is Caoxi City, which sounds inconspicuous, but in fact, the three streets, one horizontal and two vertical, are full of restaurants, restaurants and singing houses. Every evening, countless large lanterns can make half of the sky red, and the drinkers shout and drink.  The sound of fighting wine fills the sky, coupled with the singing and dancing of singers and dancers on silk, bamboo, harp and flute, the female voices are intoxicated and clear in the din, and the excitement is almost extreme.

    Shang Cheng was wearing a soft-legged bun with a gauze top, a straight-necked round-neck robe made of blue-gray southern silk, and a silver-edged belt around his waist, walking along with the bustling crowd.  He had no purpose and didn't buy anything. He just walked around casually with his hands on his hands.  Several personal soldiers were also dressed as ordinary people, scattered about three to five or seven steps away from him, and followed him without leaving a trace.

    As he walked, he looked at this ancient city with satisfaction and criticality.  Yanzhou's prosperity made him happy, but the city's shortcomings also made him worried.  What made him most uncomfortable was the garbage everywhere.  Even in places like Nanshi and Caoxi City, piles of garbage can be seen in the narrow and secluded alleys between the red buildings.  Some garbage has been piled up for an unknown period of time, and a thick layer of loose soil has accumulated on the surface. The sun and rain have soaked the floor together, forming a "black shell" with cracks everywhere, exposing the "content" inside.  A trace of the stench emanating from the garbage pile rippled in his nose from time to time, making his happy mood become uncomfortable.

    A green-headed fly flapped its wings and flew out of a dark and damp corridor, buzzing in front of him.  He stretched out his hand angrily, trying to drive away this "uninvited guest".  The fly that angered him quickly realized the danger and ran away nimbly.

    He took his arm back and rubbed his fingers subconsciously, thinking about how to solve the garbage problem.

    The domestic garbage generated in the city is not a small problem, especially as summer is about to begin. If these dirty things are allowed to remain here "unscrupulously", breeding mosquitoes and flies is a trivial matter, but we are afraid of bringing some serious diseases.

    He felt that there should be a solution to this matter.  Maybe Tao Qi's Yanzhou Mansion Yamen has a way to deal with it.  He thought that Tao Mengchang should be urged to find a solution as soon as possible.

    Just do it!  He immediately turned around, ready to go find Tao Qi now.
