Zhang Yi issued a public security order and first launched an operation to eradicate gangs and evil in Chang'an.
The city is large in scale, has a large population, and is very complex.
The children of bureaucrats and nobles are the most difficult group to regulate. They rely on their family power to run rampant and do evil in the streets. They also raise a group of domestic slaves to act as thugs, and they will fight if they disagree, and even kill people in the street.
This gang of dandy boys chased fine food, cockfights, plundering wealth, and drunkenness. They often swaggered through the city in groups and became a major public nuisance in Chang'an.
The Zhonglang generals who were responsible for maintaining order often turned a blind eye to these children and did not dare to provoke them. After an incident happened, they were perfunctory, which only encouraged the arrogance of the playboys.
Of course Zhang Yi was aware of this situation. He abolished the Zhonglang General's office, established a police station, and recruited more than a thousand young people with excellent moral character to serve as police officers. At the same time, he set up posts throughout Chang'an, and those who encountered trouble were immediately arrested and sent to the Criminal Department.
No matter who commits the crime, he will be punished in accordance with the law and the parents will be held accountable.
Xiaolong, who was in charge of the interrogation, was impartial and impartial. Those who committed murders were sentenced to death if the evidence was conclusive. Seven people were convicted of capital crimes and dozens of others were imprisoned.
Many officials and several big families involved tried to plead with Zhang Yi but failed. They also submitted a memorial to King Liu Kai, offering money in exchange for their lives. However, the king issued an edict and severely reprimanded him.
From then on, this group disappeared and they all hid at home and did not dare to go out.
…
Foreign merchants are the second most serious public nuisance in Chang'an. The government gives them generous treatment and lofty status, but they are regarded as talismans by these people, and they roam freely in Chang'an City. From doing serious business, they gradually transformed into opening brothels, setting up casinos, and even
They introduced opium and made huge profits. With capital, they colluded with the bureaucrats and became even more rampant.
The people of Chang'an hated them deeply and regarded them as uncivilized barbarians. However, Prime Minister Wu Rui adhered to the principle of peace as the most important thing and was afraid that punishing them would cause disaster, so he blindly indulged them.
After Zhang Yi found out the situation, he issued a seven-day rectification order, requiring foreign businessmen to stop illegal operations and resume normal business transactions, otherwise their income would be confiscated and deported.
Unexpectedly, they turned a deaf ear and continued to go their own way despite the warning.
Seven days later, Zhang Yi issued an order, and the police station launched a lightning-fast operation, sealing down illegal shops in the city, confiscating the properties of illegal merchants, and deporting them to the border. They were never allowed to enter China.
It seemed true. The remaining foreign businessmen were trembling with fear, fearing that their lives and property would be threatened. They were summoned, and Zhang Yi comforted them with words. As long as they abide by the law, they can rest assured. Business still needs to be done, and it will be done.
It gets bigger and bigger.
At the same time, Zhang Yi encouraged foreign businessmen to settle and develop in Chang'an, demarcated areas to provide them with housing, and created business conditions, so that foreign businessmen settled down.
Through communicating with these people, Zhang Yi's blank world map was supplemented. He was surprised to find that all the major nations in the world were rising and establishing various political regimes.
Fortunately, everyone is still on the same level. They are all in the Iron Age, and transportation relies on horses and camels. History is cyclical again. It is expected that in the near future, various inventions will emerge, and mankind will enter the age of firearms.
A new round of competition has begun.
Zhang Yi felt a sense of urgency.
…
The third major public hazard is the idle people in society who do not engage in production but specialize in deception, abduction, and theft. There are powerful gang organizations, thieves who work alone to commit crimes, human traffickers, and people in the world pretending to be rangers.
This type of group hides among the people and is difficult to identify among the crowd.
So Zhang Yi mobilized the power of the people and offered rewards for clues to the criminals. He soon learned about dozens of gangs and hundreds of criminals, numbering in the thousands.
But something strange happened at this time. The gangsters heard the news from somewhere and fled one after another, only catching a few unsuspecting gangsters.
This is a big problem.
There seems to be an invisible black hand behind the scenes. Otherwise, there would not have been a large-scale escape, and the whereabouts are also a mystery.
Could it be that Prime Minister Wu Rui, who claimed to be ill at home, was causing trouble?
Not only Zhang Yi had this idea, Xiaolong and Wang Zheng also thought so, but no real evidence was found.
"Brother Yi, the order in Chang'an City has been improved, and we can start to govern dozens of cities in the kingdom," Xiaolong said, "But our energy is limited and we can only rely on past officials. The problem is that these officials are not effective. I am afraid of thunder.
The sound was loud and the raindrops were small, but in the end it was nothing."
"Yes, Xiaolong," Zhang Yi nodded, "It is impossible to completely change this kingdom with the strength of our brothers. We have been busy day and night for the past month, and we have only changed the city of Chang'an."
"When will the officials trained by Yi Ge in the university be in place?" Xiaolong asked.
"It will take at least a month before I can complete the replacement of the kingdom's officials. I plan to take the opportunity to change the old bureaucracy and move closer to the new civilization." Zhang Yi said.
"Yi Ge, you have to consider the king's feelings. You can't change everything at once," Xiaolong suggested. "It doesn't matter what the official position is. It doesn't matter whether it's county magistrate or county magistrate. As long as you can do business."
"I will consider your suggestion, Xiaolong," Zhang Yi said with a complicated mood, "Our time is very tight. Nowadays, many countries have emerged in the world, and China is still divided. Once a powerful enemy invades, we will be very passive."
"We have men, horses and weapons, so why are we afraid of those barbarians?" Xiaolong asked.
Zhang Yi smiled bitterly. Although Xiaolong is wise, he is the third generation born in the wasteland world and knows nothing about the previous world. His thoughts are similar to Wu Rui and others, that is, he thinks that all people outside China are barbarians. This is
What a huge misunderstanding.
"That's not the case, Xiaolong," Zhang Yi said, "the development levels of all the major nations in the world are about the same, and we do not have much military advantage. Not to mention the advanced nations, the barbarian tribes are also difficult to deal with.
In the Iron Age, nomads came and went like the wind, but they had greater force."
"Brother Yi, at the court meeting, you said that we want to be the founders and leaders of the civilized world, so what should we do to conquer the world?" Xiaolong asked.
"To achieve this, the premise is to unify China and bring the people together, then we implement the Dragon Project, and finally we can go global." Zhang Yi said.
"I understand, Yi Ge, this is a great cause, but we have to do it step by step," Xiaolong said with a smile, "From Mopan City to China, and from China to the world, Yi Ge's heart has always been bright, and we will follow
Just leave."
"Having said that, Xiaolong, I think we should deal with Wu Rui and his forces as soon as possible, preferably before my wedding." Zhang Yi pondered and made a major decision.
