Chapter 373 Missing
In the afternoon, Xue Yuan actually met the emperor. At this time, he was surprised to find that the young man in front of him was actually the scholar who had asked him before. He was really surprised that the emperor actually made a private visit.
He knelt on the ground, thinking quickly in his heart whether there was any mistake in his conversation at that time. He only breathed a sigh of relief after he realized that there was nothing.
"Get up!" Li Jia glanced at Xue Yuan who was kneeling down. At this time, he and the day must have been not so depressed, but seemed a little energetic. It seemed that he had learned about his promotion.
"No--" Xue Yuan lowered his head, bowed his body, cautious.
"Have you ever known about the Police Department?" the emperor asked.
"I only know that the police department has only two different duties: one is to catch theft and reduce the labor of the government office, and the other is to manage the city!"
"Yes, it is the duty to arrest thieves. Those rogues saw the roughness of the county yamen, so they had the opportunity to take advantage of the fish and meat. In the end, the reputation of the yamen was ruined, but the benefits were eaten. This is the top priority. But don't forget that the city has a large population, and there are natural problems. The ditches need to be unobstructed, the houses need to comply with the rules. In addition, the people's homes are mostly used for wood, and there are frequent fires. There are many casualties and wounded people, and these, etc., are all professions of the police department!"
For such a new department, Li Jia only tried to set up a trial in Changsha Prefecture. If it is successful, it will be promoted nationwide later, so she must personally give in order to rest assured.
"I understand!" Xue Yuan frowned when he heard so many important tasks, but he took it down. The belief in his heart made it difficult for him to refuse.
"This is an important task!" The emperor glanced at his face and continued:
"I killed so many white yamen runners before, and many people were afraid of it. Now the Police Department only recruits dozens of people. In counties, prefectures, and governments like Changsha City, there are tens of thousands of people, only 300 people to be able to barely compete with each other. You must recruit well!"
"I know!" Xue Yuan said simply.
"Very good!" Li Jia admired such talents, especially scholars, scholars, and their consciences have not yet been eliminated. She has a belief in saving the world and saving people. This is the reason why Confucianism has lasted forever.
The Mohist school only cared about craftsmanship; the Legal school only followed the king's affairs; the Taoism was almost annexed by Confucianism.
"Changsha City, there are countless officials and wealthy families. You must remember one thing: enforce the law impartially and do not surrender. The prefect has no right to appoint you and must have the people in his heart!" The emperor's words were quite serious, and Xue Yuan was very moved when he heard them.
This is a good emperor who has the heart to the people.
"By the way, you must tell them that being a policeman is not for generations, and you should be a policeman, so that his descendants can also participate in the imperial examinations. Moreover, if you do well, you will be transferred to prefectures and counties to serve as a police envoy!" Li Jia finally reminded.
In a blink of an eye, it was mid-November and the winter solstice was on.
The meaning of the word "Winter Solstice" explains: "There are three meanings: one is the end of the Yin extreme, the two is the beginning of the Yang energy, and the three are the end of the day when it travels south, so it is called the end."
The Tang Dynasty attached great importance to the winter solstice. Every time the winter solstice festival was held, the Taoist customs presented congratulations. Those who lived in customs paid homage to officials and celebrated the winter solstice festival. When they saw the husband, they said: "The sunset moves forward, and the sun rises south. I am the husband who respects all the blessings of all the good things!". The noble and humble officials and the people all met and congratulate each other. Those who became monks met and congratulate each other, talked about the words of the winter solstice, and worshiped each other.
For all officials of the court, the winter solstice day and the Yuan Dynasty need to take leave. Zheng Qingyu's "New Book of Good and Bad" in the Tang Dynasty includes: "The two major festivals of Yuan Dynasty and the Winter Solstice day are allowed to take leave for seven days."
Even if it is a slave in the government office or a large family in the high-ranking families, it will be given a three-day leave.
The officials were naturally not so casual when they were on holiday. On the Winter Solstice, the emperor held a grand ceremony in the Chu Palace. Hundreds of officials from all over Changsha Palace were all wearing gorgeous clothes and brocade robes, and greeted each one to show the emperor's nobleness.
After that, the emperor still had no time to go to the south of the city to perform the winter solstice sacrifice ceremony.
In short, the day of the winter solstice is a time for the people to have fun, but it is a struggle for the officials and emperors of the court.
Eight rituals need to be completed: First, congratulations and banquets are held in the previous dynasty;
Then, the ceremony of worshiping the sky in the southern suburbs is performed;
Then the world is forgiven;
Then give official positions and rewards;
Three days of the world's big jelly (five days in the capital).
Tax exemption;
Respect the elderly and give them to them;
Praise filial sons and grandchildren, and be kind to the husband and wife.
After a while, he made a show, and he could not rest until the night and the banquet ended.
"Get back! I and the Queen no longer need to serve you!" Li Jia hugged Zhou Ying'er and pulled the tent.
First, then Zhongtong, and then deep (Shen) to achieve pregnancy. After touching her white and tender belly, Li Jia smiled and said:
"For such a long time, I believe the queen will be able to win!"
"Your Majesty~~" Zhou Ying'er was quite shy, but blinked and said, "I'm going to have a future for my period this month!"
Hearing this, Li Jia was delighted and said, "I'll send the imperial physician to see it tomorrow!"
As he said that, he hugged the girl, and her white and tender skin was smooth and she couldn't help but feel happy.
"Queen!"
"I'm here!"
"How old are you!"
"I'm seventeen this year!"
"It's good for seventeen, it's good if it's sixteen!"
"Why did Your Majesty ask this? Is there any benefit in age?"
"Starting in three years... No, next year, it's quite auspicious to have a child!" Li Jia kissed the queen's forehead and hugged her tighter.
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but remember that it had been almost half a year since he left Guangzhou, and those pregnant concubines would have children in a few months.
It is really exciting to have a life of two lives, and the first time he was born with a child.
In this era without mobile phones, TV series, and games, only power and women can make people no longer live in a daze, and only power can get women and have a luxurious life, a life where clothes can be used to open their hands and food can be used to open their mouths.
Since he came through time, Li Jia has decided to live the life of an emperor, and never be a minister, let others scold him, kneel down, and please him, otherwise what is the point of traveling over time?
He licked his face every day to please others, and then he was given some bones, and he devoted himself to it until his death. He did not look like a time traveler, but rather an ancient man.
No matter how awesome or wealthy the Northern Song Dynasty was, it was not Li Jia's business. It was not him who enjoyed wealth and glory. Therefore, he could really do it and was not afraid at all.
There is only one word in the eyes of the time traveler - Gan.
"Go back in a few days!" Li Jia closed her eyes and said softly.
"Let's go back to Lingnan to celebrate Yuanzheng!" Yuanzheng is the Spring Festival.
