Chapter 151: Imperial City Division
Hou Liniang's arrival made the whole governor's mansion lively, especially with a child, it was even more noisy and full of life.
Li Jia really liked this kind of noisy, even lively scene. The huge courtyard of the Governor's Mansion was only now filled with life and had regained some vitality.
Maybe he came from time travel. Even though he inherited the memory of the original owner, he felt a different kind of loneliness. This was the distance traveled by thousands of years. Modern life flashed through his mind from time to time, making him eager to return to his original place.
.
Therefore, when dealing with memorials in the study, he still opened the window or accompanied a few maids to avoid being alone.
The same is true when sleeping. It's no lie that it's hard to sleep alone. If there aren't a few people around you, your heart will feel extremely empty and unreal.
"Wait a minute, it's only been a while, why are there four women around me? It's terrible, wealth is so overwhelming!"
He shook his head. These days, he has also lived a relatively fulfilling life. The new policy of Prince Xing's Mansion has been implemented very well. The measures of household registration and uniforming the people have been greatly implemented, or in other words, with the help of the Forbidden Army, they have been implemented.
Prince Xing's Mansion only has fourteen counties, including Xianning, Changkang, Panyu, Zengcheng and other counties. However, the number of people registered this time is 500,000. In the two counties of Panyu City, there are 370,000. Fanshang
Nearly 60,000 people.
If the previous imperial household registration was used, the number of people would be nearly one hundred thousand more, and there would still be many Dingkou who had been robbed as slaves or sheltered under wealthy families and had not yet been registered.
Even so, the establishment of households and all the people this time has also greatly improved the national strength. For 400,000 people, even if they are drawn one out of fifteen, there will be more than 20,000 people. Moreover, the wealth they create is far less than that of other states.
of.
"Do the nobles and officials have any complaints about the system of household registration for the people?"
"Of course there are, but it's just normal. Under the protection of the Forbidden Army, who would dare to cause trouble? The emperor's relatives are no exception. They all rely on the governor to be able to proceed."
Following the previous large-scale arrest operation, the Sound Department became famous throughout Panyu City and acted extremely quickly.
"They are just dormant temporarily, like hibernating poisonous snakes, waiting for the day when their vitality comes back. Therefore, the surveillance on them cannot be relaxed for a moment."
"In addition to Panyu, other places should also try their best to find out the news and report to me in time!"
"Yes -" As time went by, Wu Qing became more and more gloomy. Although he knew it was because of his work, Li Jia still felt a little uncomfortable.
Maybe it's because of the rise of the Shengsheng Division. The Shengsheng Division continues to expand and its power continues to grow. It's hard to guarantee that ambitions won't grow.
Perhaps, it is not appropriate to give such great power to one person. Since ancient times, the word balance has been the central theme of politics, and Li Jia naturally knows it.
After he withdrew, Li Jia fell into deep thought.
The longer he stayed in a high position, the deeper his love for power became. Now, Li Jia has gradually shifted to the mindset of an emperor and should nip problems in the bud.
It is often not good for a single family to dominate.
"Come here, call someone to go to the palace and find a well-behaved eunuch!"
Li Jia waved his hand, and the man below him ran away and broke his leg. A few hours later, a fat and white eunuch came over.
"Lang Jun, this person is a subordinate of the Shang Emperor Liu Bin. After Emperor Zhongzong ascended the throne, he was relegated to the cold palace until now!"
Butler An Guo turned sideways, put his round face next to Li Jia's ear, and whispered softly.
After the death of the great ancestor Liu Yan, the third son Liu Bin came to the throne. Because of his arrogance and willfulness, and his excessive lewdness, the officials were unhappy. As a result, the king of Jin Liu Sheng gathered his brothers, killed them, and ascended the throne as Zhongzong.
Liu Bin had only been emperor for more than a year, so there were naturally some close people inside and outside the palace, and this person was no exception. Because of his low status, he escaped disaster and stayed in the cold palace for more than ten years.
Eunuchs also need talents. Those who have not been honed in the palace for many years will not be useful if they are promoted suddenly.
When Tian Zhong saw Li Jia, he was flattered and kept kowtowing on the ground. He was only about forty years old, but he was as old as an old man, and his beard was more than half white.
Li Jia couldn't bear it, so he asked him to get up and said directly: "I have something for you to do."
Tian Zhong hurriedly bowed and said: "No matter what the governor ordered me to do, I will do whatever I want to do without hesitation..."
"Have you ever heard of Wu Deji?"
"I've never heard of it!" Tian Zhong shook his head, feeling very panicked.
"Wudesi was an agency that monitored the capital during the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains. Its duty was to find secrets and spy on information for the emperor..."
Li Jia spoke eloquently, and Tian Zhong listened attentively.
The Wude Division began in the Five Dynasties, and its name can be traced back to the Five Dynasties and the Later Tang Dynasty: "The Wude Envoy Shi Yanqiong is lucky to be an official, and the emperor treats him with sincerity. In the capital, he is powerful and blessed. The following is true,
They all lowered their shoulders and bowed their heads, busy with their work..."
In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed Huangcheng Division.
Li Jiadao: "Since the Tang State has it, why can't we Han people have it? You gather some cronies today and build a Wude Division. No, change the name and call it the Imperial City Division.
It is independent from the opening and closing of the imperial city palace gates, and is in charge of the imperial city, Renxiao City, and various city gates.
As for what to do? Look after the families of those thieves. You have to send people to monitor them. If the emperor wants to investigate corrupt officials, you will send people to investigate secretly... The people who do these things are your Imperial City Department."
"There is oil and water in every city gate. Consider these your financial resources! In addition, I will allocate 50,000 yuan to you every year as funding. It will depend on the situation in the future!"
Tian Zhong said hurriedly: "I obey my command."
"In addition, in Prince Xing's Mansion, we will focus on Panyu City, the city gates, the West Market, inns, restaurants, teahouses, and city compartments, and deploy spies to monitor suspicious persons. If they are suspected of being spies with unknown origins, they can be secretly arrested and tortured."
"Such a big thing has happened to us big men, but there is no movement at all from other countries. Something is really wrong. You have to check it out!"
Seeing Tian Zhong walking out respectfully, Li Jia shook his head and was filled with emotion.
No wonder those emperors like to use eunuchs, it is so convenient. They will go all out to carry out your orders, even if it is a wrong order, it will still be carried out.
