Fear and worry are instinctive when facing unfamiliar enemies. But Lin Chong's uneasiness was directly reflected in his dreams. He once again had the dream he often had at this stage, walking alone in a dark tunnel with no end in sight.
There were people running around and shouting loudly, but he couldn't hear anything clearly.
Lin Chong thought that he might be considered a strange flower from across the world.
After all, even in various popular modern time-travel novels, the protagonist will try his best to go back when he comes to a strange world. After he came, he almost never thought about going back, and he quickly integrated into the character and became a king.
Quite dedicated.
There may be many reasons for this. Manager Wang's idea of what kind of insect or poison is one of the reasons. It seems that he hasn't taken the antidote for a long time. Could it be that all those insects died on their own?
But the more important thing is that Lin Chong is actually not attached to this world. He is alone without a father and a mother. To those relatives, he is just a burden. It would be best if he died. Teachers and classmates will probably regard this as news, and they usually have a good relationship with him.
Some people would say: "Ah, it's too scary", and that's it. The only person who would worry about him is probably his best friend, An Ming, who he grew up with.
Lin Chong shook his head, what's the use of thinking about this now? It's better to think about something practical and think about who is plotting against the young master behind his back. Lin Chong sat on the couch in a daze. He was not the only one who couldn't sleep that night.
Liu Shishi was injured on her shoulder, so she sat by the window with her clothes on, quietly looking at the bright moon outside the palace wall.
I don't know if it was her imagination, but the moon was very bright today, and the stars were sparse, which made her look very lonely. She didn't move, and memories lit up in her mind like a revolving lantern, when the emperor first saw her.
The surprise, the voice calling her to stay, and the time he stared at her seriously and said I believe in you.
But after only a few days of not seeing each other, he already has a girl he likes. Although she knows this better than anyone else, she still thinks of him unconsciously when no one is around. When she walks on the street, she always feels like his shadow is everywhere.
.
This is not her. She, Master Liu, should not be such a fragile person. Putting aside distracting thoughts, Master Liu closed the window angrily and lay on the couch with her eyes closed and fell asleep.
The aftermath of Liuye Village is still going on, and Lin Chong has appointed new people to take over the local work.
Li Shizhen has been busy. Although the poison has been cured, he said there are still some things he wants to study, so he stayed in Liuye Village for the time being. Lin Chong actually wanted him to stay, after all, such talents are hard to come by.
But Li Shizhen is not in the court. When the matter is over, he will still travel around. That is what a doctor should do. Lin Chong does not stop him. After all, doing so is the blessing of the people. Who knows how many people can be saved along the way?
life.
There was another major event a year ago, which was the Beijing inspection.
The Beijing inspection is an assessment of Beijing and local officials. It is conducted once every six years in Beijing and once every three years in local areas. The assessment is divided into four levels: qualified, ordinary, unqualified, and corrupt. Those who pass the exam may be promoted, while those who are ordinary are not.
If you are not promoted or demoted, those who fail to meet the standards will be demoted. If you are found guilty of corruption and bending the law, you will not only be deprived of your official position, but in more serious cases, your life may be at risk.
Therefore, the capital inspection has become a great opportunity for officials to take bribes and corruption. Which local official who comes to the capital to report on his duties would be so ignorant and not bring something with him to the capital. It is a small matter to spend money, as long as he can keep his position, it is the best
important.
This is also the busiest time for the ministers in the capital, who are busy developing their own power. Those who have received money from others naturally have to do some practical things and move around. It is also the best time to eradicate dissidents and attack opponents.
Every year, the capital inspection team starts preparations early. This year, first because of the war, Wen Tiren, the official minister, was imprisoned and will be executed soon.
The position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has always been vacant. Lin Chong has never had any suitable candidates. He finally managed to pull down Wen Tiren, but he did not want to create Zhang Tiren and Wang Tiren to continue to take over and become the worm of the country.
The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the promotion and changes of officials. This is a very important position. Lin Chong should consider it carefully. Many people looked at Zhou Ze with admiration because of the previous events. Some people suggested that he take over the Ministry of Personnel. Lin Chong did not agree, not that he did not agree.
I believe in Zhou Zangyu's ability, but he has already made plans for this person.
He transferred Zhou Ze to the Ministry of Rites as a minister. He hoped that Zhou Ze could learn more from Huang Xin. This guy would definitely become a big help in the future.
If he is transferred to the Ministry of Personnel now, he is still young and is not familiar with the various affairs of the Ministry of Personnel. He may not be able to handle various affairs well, but will be able to implement them according to the needs of the people. It is better to stay in the Ministry of Rites and concentrate on studying, and he can develop better.
Own.
He once called Zhou Ze to the imperial study room and made it clear to him face to face. Zhou Ze also said that he had indeed never had contact with the official department, let alone be a top leader, and he was willing to train under Master Huang.
Lin Chong was very satisfied. He was no longer in a hurry to promote a new Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, so he asked the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel to temporarily assume the powers of the Minister, and asked Wang Chengen and Ren Zanhua to cooperate to complete this Beijing inspection. As for the twists and turns in the Beijing inspection
Wandering around, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.
It is impossible to correct the bad habits accumulated over the years. Regardless of ancient or modern times, this kind of unspoken rule in the workplace will never be eliminated. Therefore, as long as it is not too excessive, Lin Chong will turn a blind eye.
My eyes followed him.
What he is concerned about now is something very important to him. Since the implementation of the policy of encouraging refugees to join the army, the number of people in the three major battalions has increased greatly.
After the national treasury became slightly abundant, Lin Chong did not skimp on military expenditures. He was determined to cultivate his own living military force. Only in this way could he stand firm in front of Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui. Only in this way can he have the right to speak. Only then can others really take control.
He regarded him as the king of a country, a king with the power of life and death.
So we chose a day when the weather was still cool and wandered over to the Third Battalion. The soldiers from the Third Battalion saw the Holy One personally visiting and hurriedly came out to pay homage.
Lin Chong waved his hands nonchalantly: "You guys go on and do whatever you have to do. I just walked around and looked around."
That's what he said. How could he really think that he was just casually joining the army? Anyway, it just happened to show His Majesty that he didn't get his military salary in vain.
The three soldiers took Lin Chong to the training ground seriously. At this time, all the soldiers were practicing diligently. There were people on the stage not far away who were competing in boxing and kicking. Lin Chong walked to the side and watched with great interest.
