Jiang Ji has traveled for more than ten years, and almost all of them are traveling in the north. The New Year is also in accordance with the customs of the north. This is the first time that she has returned to the south. New Years in the South are very different, not only in customs but also in environment.
The snow in the north is always thick, but it doesn't feel too cold around the New Year.
The south is not the same. The snow is not heavy, but the air is chillingly cold.
At this time, it was also during the war, and the taste of the New Year that the salted fish were familiar with was not strong, and the streets and alleys were almost empty.
Jiang Ji began to lead people to visit places unannounced half a month before the Chinese New Year, and he was relieved to make sure that the people were properly placed.
In this world, there are people who follow yin and yin, so there will be scandals of poor supervision and poor enforcement.
Not even the future interstellar with information explosion, let alone the ancient times when communication was extremely inconvenient
The people below did not take the common people as a matter of fact, and did not take her orders as a matter of fact. The winter clothes and money and food for relief victims were embezzled and deducted, which is normal operation. Therefore, Jiang Ji had a lot of blood on her hands during this private visit.
The investigation went all the way and killed all the way, so that the local officials lived the New Year with trepidation, for fear that Jiang Ji was watching in secret.
Who knows where she came from!
The crimes were relatively minor, and they were reprimanded from top to bottom, and none of the people involved could escape.
The crimes are heavier, the amount of embezzlement has reached the standard set by Jiang Ji, and the death of the head is considered kind.
Of course, this private interview is not without promotions.
Corrupt people are hateful and slaughterable, but those who do their duty tremblingly, or even overdo it, should also be rewarded and encouraged.
The people and things she has seen along the way are all recorded in the ledger in her head. Some people should be promoted by one rank. It is too inferior to squatting in their original positions. Some people do not have enough qualifications and experience. It is more than enough to compare with the above, and the reward is enough.
"The snow outside is about to melt, why is the lord dressed so thinly?"
Wei Ci didn't run around with Jiang Ji, and stayed to deal with the New Year's chores.
Even if he wanted to follow, Jiang Ji would not allow it.
After all, Wei Ci is not as strong as her body. If she really ran around for a month in the freezing season, she was going to fall ill.
"I'm not afraid of cold."
Jiang Ji untied the tether of the robe with one hand, and threw the list of bamboo slips to Wei Ci.
The paper is light but also has shortcomings. If it is accidentally exposed to the rain, the ink will smudge and spread. Jiang Ji uses bamboo slips to record for convenience and engraves with pen and knife. Even if the bamboo slips get wet, the handwriting on them can be preserved for a long time, long enough for her to bring them back for Wei Ci and a few others to transcribe.
Wei Ci opened the bamboo slip. The dozen or so names on the top were all killed by the lord, and each name was followed by the crime of being killed. The twenty or so names in the middle were reprimanded or demoted, followed by a dozen or so names. It's a compliment, a promotion...
"This year's Chinese New Year, the latter few people will record it."
"promise!"
"Those who were punished or killed, the files are still on the way. It's a long way, and it's estimated that it will take two days to arrive." Jiang Ji smiled, "In order to be able to come back to spend this year with you soon, I will hurry up and hurry up. The journey has been shortened again and again, don't you feel moved?"
Wei Ci sighed, "I want to be moved in my heart, but this year there are so many things to do, and Ci is helpless."
During Chinese New Year and festivals, important ministers will be rewarded generously. It is a kind of year-end reward, and officials who work hard and perform well in the last year will also receive them. Except for the important minister, who was personally seen by Jiang Ji, everyone else was ordered by his subordinates...
In the past, Dongqing, which was a fraction of the time, had a small site and not many officials, so the new year was naturally easy.
Now sitting in Dongqing, Beijiang and Nansheng prefectures, the scale is expanding, and the New Year's ceremony must be prepared long in advance and delivered to various places.
This habit, His Majesty in the previous life did not start until he ascended the throne.
From her enthronement to the year of Long Yubintian, it lasted for 18 years. No matter how fierce the fight in the court, the lower-level officialdom was still clear.
Now it has started early. Here is Wei Ci's persuasion and inspiration from the salted fish.
Even a small year-end bonus can be highly encouraged by those who receive it, and it can also be used to beat those who confiscate it.
The types of gifts are relatively simple, such as a set of ink, a knife of paper, clothing and cloth...
It is not important whether the gift is more than the gift, and the gift is light and heavy. What matters is the meaning behind the gift.
This is not only to win people's hearts, but also to beat and supervise many officials, so that they are always vigilant and dare not slack off.
Especially when they know that Jiang Ji will spend January to inspect the grassroots at the end of the year, and they dare not be vague.
Being able to receive gifts means that they did a good job last year, the Killing Star is very satisfied, and they don't have to worry about losing their lives during the New Year.
Those who didn't receive it were naturally trembling, for fear that someday disaster would strike.
After so many years, apart from Nansheng and the two states who still don't understand the rules, everyone in Dongqing understands her temperament.
For those who are dereliction of duty and corrupt, this man will kill without blinking an eye.
As long as she does her due diligence and works hard to do her duty well, she is also the lord of generosity and kindness.
Every New Year, the people will be surprised to find that these parents and officials have become extraordinarily hardworking, their government affairs performance has risen steadily, and their efficiency has been extremely high.
For example, one of the New Year's letters sent this year is very interesting
There is a small county magistrate in a remote rural area who has mediocre talents but has been in the backcountry for 23 years. He complained that his old mother was getting old, and she accidentally heard about Qiang peaches from outside the territory. I want to buy a pound and a half for my old mother, but there is no such thing in the small counties of the 81st tier, and the price of overseas purchasing is too expensive. Jiang Ji thinks this requirement is not too much. The performance of this small official last year was also good, and the local reputation is good. , So the New Year's ceremony changed from a knife of paper and two ink ingots to a pound of peeled Qiang peaches.
Not to mention how terrified and surprised Xiaoguan would be when he received Qiang Tao, Jiang Ji was busy until New Year's Eve morning before closing the pen.
This year, there are wars everywhere. In winter, we even allocated funds to relieve millions of people in Nansheng and two states.
If it hadn't been through the last Nan's assassination that plundered seven Fenzhou nobles and enriched the private treasury, her wallet would have been bottomed out.
The New Year's banquet is not as elaborate and grand as in previous years. It is more like an ordinary family banquet. Everyone gathers for a meal and summarizes last year's performance.
Compared with the low-key on her side, the Encore on the other side is arrogant.
Hua Yuan could hear Ann's smile from far away.
He adjusted the expression on his face, showing just the right amount of doubt, and entered the main tent with a smile.
"I don't know what a happy event can make the lord so happy?"
Next to An sat the shy Xichang Emperor Ji, his big palm grabbed the Emperor Ji's soft weeds, and his palms kept rubbing and sighing.
"There is no end to my heirs!"
An's eyes reddened as he spoke.
He said that Emperor Xichang was just a gadget and was not qualified to conceive a young master for him, but he was still very happy when he was really pregnant.
The fact that Xichang Emperor Ji was able to become pregnant proves that his hidden disease has been cured and he is a sound man.
