People often say that there are three things a new official needs to do when taking office.
But the people of Yancheng can all feel that Lu Bai took office more than three times.
He first transferred Zhao Jianlian and other close associates who were originally from the Baihu Office of Shenlefang to Shangcheng District.
Although they are not qualified enough to fill the seats left vacant by Baihu, Deputy Liu Qianhu and others, the lack of positions does not mean that things cannot be done.
Chicken feathers can even be used as arrows.
With the resolute Lu Bai behind them to support them, although they do not have the name of their positions, they have the reality of their positions.
Of course, this is just a stopgap measure.
Therefore, Lu Bai was still actively cultivating his confidants in Jinyi Guards School.
In this regard, the Beggar Gang has been of great help.
They seem to be incompatible with the Jin Yiwei, but they still know a little bit about which Jin Yiwei are the black sheep and which Jin Yiwei can be saved.
Lu Bai used the information they gleaned from the public to continuously promote these Jin Yiwei into Shangcheng District.
Although he was a strongman in the lower city and still a strongman in the upper city, his status was different.
This is equivalent to the difference between being a civil servant in a third-tier city and a civil servant in a first-tier city.
They were naturally grateful to Lu Bai.
As for those unqualified Jin Yiwei in the upper city area, they were undoubtedly thrown to the lower city area by Lu Bai.
Although they had resisted, who was Lu Bai?
The master who was chopped down from Deer Park!
He didn't mind leaving scars as big as bowls on the necks of these Jin Yiwei and robbing them of their merits - Lu Bai liked killing Jin Yiwei the most.
Most of these royal guards are not clean.
After killing eight or nine Jinyi guards, these Jinyi guards became honest and no longer dared to object to Lu Bai's actions.
Lu Bai also brought Zhao Baili to his side and appointed him as the commander-in-chief and his right-hand man.
When Zhao Baili saw Lu Bai again, he couldn't help but sigh.
He never imagined that Lu Bai, who was his subordinate half a year ago, would become his immediate boss in the blink of an eye.
Time is also destiny.
But Zhao Baili was convinced.
Let me ask, who has the ability to enter the Immortal Cultivation Realm from the ninth level in just one year?
Lu Bai can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
"Brother Zhao, I remember you slowly climbed up from the bottom, right?" Lu Bai asked.
He invited Zhao Baili to drink at the restaurant next to Qingfeng Building in Shangcheng District.
Lu Bai has fallen in love with the fish dishes here since he tasted them with Gu Qinghuan and Wang'er a few days ago.
Zhao Baili nodded, "Not bad."
In the Jinyiwei, those above the chief banner are equivalent to officials, and these positions are almost all hereditary.
However, there were no people of the same level at that time, so Zhao Baili became the general banner.
Even so, if the admiral hadn't come here, he would probably still be depressed now.
"I didn't want to climb up at first. I didn't dare to think about it. I just wanted to live a good life, so I practiced martial arts hard. Later, I became the best among my companions, and I was lucky enough to become the general flag." Zhao Baili said.
In order to improve his realm, he put in a lot of effort and suffered a lot.
Lu Bai nodded.
In Lu Bai's view, another major reason why it is difficult for Zhao Baili to be promoted is that Ming Zhengsi taught Xi Taici. Although Lu Bai is very grateful to the three old Jinyi guards who taught him, he has to say that they cannot teach good apprentices at all.
.
As long as Lu Bai is in office, he will train some talents for his use.
Therefore, Lu Bai planned to ask Zhao Baili to reorganize Mingzhengsi, "increase the number of Mingzhengsi's instructors, improve the treatment of Mingzhengsi's instructors, and at the same time enhance the status of Mingzhengsi's instructors." Lu Bai put forward three points.
According to his thinking, Ming Zhengsi's treatment is the same as that of hundreds of households.
At the same time, Mingzhengsi's teaching and training are directly assigned and directed by Qianhu Institute. Baihu Institute of Baihu cannot interfere with it, and cannot deliberately disturb Mingzhengsi's art transfer plan.
Zhao Baili was surprised, "This, this is too, too -"
That's too bold.
Although Lu Bai acted within the rules, he was almost challenging Jin Yiwei's century-old disease.
More importantly, Lu Bai's move was thankless, with no political achievements at all.
"Haha, political achievements." Lu Bai didn't need this.
He offered Zhao Baili a glass of wine to calm him down, because Lu Bai had not dropped the bomb that surprised him even more, "Ming Zhengsi will conduct regular assessments of teachers every year, judge the quality based on the results, and eliminate unqualified teachers.
"
In addition, Mingzhengsi will adopt a progression system.
That is to say, the Jinyiwei of the three Baihusuo Mingzhengsi will be assessed regularly every year. Those who pass the exam will be promoted to the Qianhusuo Mingzhengsi to get better teaching guidance. After completing their studies, they will be assigned by the chief instructor of the Qianhusuo Mingzhengsi according to the situation.
Go to every household.
"When the time comes, I will personally serve as the chief instructor of Qianhu Institute of Mingzhengsi." Lu Bai said.
In other words, Lu Bai is equivalent to the principal.
In the future, the Jin Yiwei who will come out of Yancheng Mingzhengsi will all be his disciples.
He is the one who cultivates his team and loyal people.
If he leaves Yancheng in the future and enters a wider world, or even becomes the commander of the Imperial Guards, then the Yancheng group will be a big bargaining chip in his hands.
Zhao Baili didn't consider this level for a while.
In his opinion, Lu Bai's move will undoubtedly greatly improve those Jin Yiwei whose parents' generation was not very capable, giving them a chance to climb up.
Zhao Baili admired Lu Bai very much.
After many people become a member of a thousand households, they only think about their cultivation and future. They always muddle along and rarely try to change Jin Yiwei. Lu Bai is the first person he has met who has the intention and courage to change.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to tear his face, and even killed those Jin Yiwei who dared to oppose.
Only now did Zhao Baili feel that he had underestimated Lu Bai too much when he thought Lu Bai was a relative of Magistrate Lu.
For Lu Bai.
He has never been anyone's vassal.
He was Lu Bai from beginning to end, a bold Lu Bai who even dared to kill hundreds of households when he was unhappy.
"Okay!" Zhao Baili said enthusiastically, "I will definitely try my best to get this done."
Zhao Baili climbed up from the bottom.
Just because he climbed up, he knew how difficult it was for the Jin Yiwei at the bottom to climb up.
Lu Bai's move will undoubtedly benefit thousands of people, and of course he will do his best to help.
Lu Bai raised his wine glass and said, "Okay, with your words, Lao Zhao, I feel relieved."
This is a big deal.
He had to send someone who was experienced, capable, and reliable, and Zhao Baili was undoubtedly the right candidate.
Improving Ming Zhengsi's status and role was only Lu Bai's second fire.
Lu Bai's third fire burned directly to Zhao Prison.
He wants to thoroughly investigate the criminals in prison, punish the guilty, release the innocent, and never leave an unjust case.
As soon as Lu Bai issued this order, it aroused resistance from many Jin Yiwei.
The sky is high in Yancheng and the emperor is far away. There are too many unjust and wrongful convictions in Zhao Prison.
Some are deliberately framed.
Some of the Jin Yiwei did this to make money, and some did it to avenge themselves.
Others were for his concubine - Lu Bai kicked a man in Zhao Prison. This was the first wrongful case he investigated after not realizing his guilt.
This man lives in Shangcheng. He is not a wealthy man, but he does have some savings.
His wife is as beautiful as a flower, and somehow she got hooked up with the chief banner of Qianhusuo.
In order to stay together and be happy all day long, the two set up a bet - the wife falsely accused the husband of making false accusations about the emperor, and the general took advantage of the situation and sent the man to prison. He slept with someone else and his wife didn't even tell him.
Taking advantage of other people's wealth.
Lu Bai was overjoyed after hearing the case thoroughly and personally led a team to arrest the general.
This general flag still wants to resist——
That is to say, I touched the handle of the knife, pulled it out, and then moved my head and body to the west.
Not only did Lu Bai gain merit, he also got a chance to win a lottery for solving the case.
Lu Bai smoked at that time - he got a hat, or a cuckold.
This green hat also adds defensive attributes. It is not a fixed increase, but a growth increase. It is the growth condition - the more cuckolds you wear, the higher the defensive attributes, and each cuckold adds a little more.
Lu Bai gave the hat to the big black cow.
Da Hei Niu was confused and said, "Lao Lu, why do you always cuckold me?"
"Ahem."
Lu Bai almost choked, "Don't talk nonsense, who cuckolded you."
"Then this -" the big black cow pointed to his head.
"This is a blue hat." Lu Bai opened his eyes and told lies seriously.
His seriousness made Da Hei Niu think there was something wrong with his eyes.
"Am I going to go blind?" The big black cow rubbed his eyes, wanting to cry but without tears.
This is just a small episode.
In the next three months, Lu Bai successively handled the squeeze cases in Zhao Prison and corrected many unjust and wrong cases. As for those Jin Yiwei who made mistakes——
When Lu Bai went to arrest people again, they didn't dare to use the knife again.
Even so, a Jin Yiwei was chopped down by Lu Bai because he was cooking with a kitchen knife in his hand.
From then on, if Jin Yiwei made another mistake, he would like to have himself tied up and sent to Lu Bai.
Lu Bai didn't get much merit points as a result.
But there were a lot of draws, and Lu Bai got a lot of them - I can't say good things, because this panel is too random, and Lu Bai got a lot of incredible things, such as ghost summoning talismans, ghost exorcism talismans, magic talismans, ghost talismans, etc.
Bowls, bladeless knives, wooden donkeys, paper cranes, ghost lanterns and a series of other inexplicable things.
Lu Bai was thinking that maybe he had entered a spiritual realm, so most of the things he drew were related to ghosts.
Even if it has nothing to do with ghosts, it is still full of strange things.
For example, no one has a knife.
This knife has no edge, and the key panel is labeled [Knife that doesn’t hurt].
What's the use of this thing, Lu Bai?
He didn't redeem it at all.
There is also a wooden donkey. There is a note on the panel [Catch a ghost and run inside the wooden donkey].
As for the paper crane, on the panel is "pass the love letter a hundred times"
Lu Bai left them in the panel.
Of course, Lu Bai also got a lot of good things.
There are skill improvement cards, quality improvement cards, merit value cards, and eye gauze.
Lu Bai directly used the skill to improve the card and improve the "Drinking Feeling", changing the state from the middle stage of Qi refining to the complete Qi refining stage.
As for the quality improvement card——
Lu Bai improved "Yuyu" and upgraded the quality of "Yuyu" from purple to orange.
While improving the growth ability of the swimming fish, it also greatly improved the dodge and water properties of the swimming fish. Now entering the water, Lu Bai is estimated to be much more flexible than the fish in addition to being unable to breathe in the water.
As for the gauze——
This is something similar to what the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wear. It is used to cover their eyes like a gauze scarf. It is commonly used by many people in the summer.
Of course, there must be something unusual about what you draw from the panel lottery [you can see ghosts when you wear it].
Because of these words, Lu Bai put it in his pocket and never wore it.
Finally, there is the merit card.
This kind of card directly provides merit points after being clicked.
It seems that because there were too many merit points used later, the panel added this card to the lottery pool at the right time.
Lu Bai drew twice and received a total of 500,000 merit points.
It sounds like a lot, but it's actually a drop in the bucket, because Lu Bai now needs more than five million merit points to increase his level of "Drunken Spirit".
So we still need to solve more cases.
In addition, Lu Bai also drew a Peach Blossom Calligraphy Book, one of the Hundred Flowers Calligraphy Books, and Lu Bai gave it to Lu Qinghuan.
In order to get more lottery opportunities, Lu Bai spent half a year sorting out Yancheng Zhao Prison, and then reached out to Yancheng officials.
The Jin Yiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers. In addition to wanting to eliminate demons, they also have the responsibility of supervising all officials. Therefore, not only the Qianhu Guards but also the Baihu Guards, the Jinyiwei also collected evidence of many officials' crimes.
For example, when Lu Bai was in Luyuan, he got a vegetable book from Lao Jinyiwei, which recorded many crimes of officials taking bribes, embezzling people's property, robbing people's daughters, and even beating people to death in the street.
However, because they either had a good relationship with Jin Yiwei or used money, nothing happened.
Now that it's in the hands of Lu Bai, who is bent on getting the chance to draw the lottery, he's not welcome.
After a long pursuit and arrest, Lu Bai turned Yancheng upside down in a short period of time, and many officials were dismissed from their posts for investigation.
Many officials approached the city lord for this purpose.
"Sir, if he continues to act like this, Yancheng will be in chaos." An official with white beard and hair said seriously.
"Yeah yeah."
The other officials nodded in agreement.
City Master Gu took a sip of tea and smiled, "The Jinyi Guards are the emperor's personal army. It is beyond our control. Please wish yourself well. Then again, if your hands and feet are clean, why should you be afraid of his investigation?"
The official with white beard and hair said: "But he has caused a storm in the city and people are in panic. If he is not restrained, all the officials will be in danger. Who will dare to be an official in the future and who will focus on government affairs."
"Yeah?"
City Master Gu pretended to be surprised, "Why did I hear that the people on the street clapped their hands and applauded?"
These officials still had something to say, but they were driven away by City Lord Gu with an eviction order.
To be honest, he was quite annoyed.
What's annoying is that last year, Lu Bai actually rejected his daughter!
However, when he went to the Lu Mansion to raise an army to investigate, his sister stopped him and offered to cooperate.
In this case, these minutiae issues are no longer a problem.
"It would be nice if Yancheng was in chaos." City Lord Gu said to himself.
Things that were inconvenient for him to come forward happened to be done by Lu Bai, and he observed that Lu Bai's actions were not random, but well-founded and orderly.
"He is a talent."
"Dad, who do you think is the talent?" Gu Mei flashed out from behind the screen.
"Lu Bai, who else could it be?" City Master Gu said.
Gu Mei sat over and said, "He is really powerful. Now his name is spread all over the city, and everyone praises him. They all say that he has become a royal guard for thousands of households. It is a blessing that the people in the city have cultivated for hundreds of years."
City Master Gu smiled and said, "Do you regret it now? You were unwilling to get along with him when I asked you to."
Gu Mei lowered her lips and muttered: "It's not too late."
Last year, Lu Bai just came to Shangcheng District from Xiacheng District.
The label of Xiacheng District, as well as Lu Bai's unmodified dress, made her born to label Lu Bai.
Naturally, I resist getting along with someone who I subconsciously think comes from a poor place.
But it's different now.
Not only was Lu Bai now famous, both his clothing and temperament had improved rapidly under Gu Qinghuan's guidance. In addition, his elegance, confidence and calmness in his movements had made many ladies in the upper city obsessed with him.
Now the threshold for marriage proposal in the Lu family is almost crossed.
City Master Gu raised his eyebrows and threw the teacup on the table, "It's too late!"
