"I am polite to the people and ordered King Qi to preside over the cause of disaster relief and epidemic prevention. The first thing is to clear the ditches and kill rats and insects." Wang smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, please issue a document..."

"Not appropriate." Xia Yan shook his head and said solemnly: "Although the responsibility for cleaning up the streets of the capital is Shuntian Prefecture, its power is in the Ministry of Works. It is difficult for officials to handle this document."

Zhou Yan frowned slightly and said, "The streets of all prefectures are managed by government offices. Don't shirk responsibility for the elders."

"Your Highness, the lower-ranking official said that although the responsibility is in Shuntian Prefecture, the capital's chariot hub should be managed by the Ministry of Works' Dushui Department. The "Zhu Zheng" compiled by Emperor Taizu mentioned it." Xia Yan said: "It is said that 'The capital city dredged ditches every year to open water channels to clear up the accumulation of filth, and to support the Dushui Treasury silver', which is not the power of Shuntian Prefecture..."

Zhou Yan was speechless for a moment.

Wang Xiao smiled and praised: "Mr. Xia is really a good writer."

When Xia Yan heard his bad tone, he hurriedly said, "The lower officials just act according to the law."

"If all the officials of our Chu Dynasty could read the regulations as well as Lord Xia, the world..."

Wang Xiao said, and suddenly picked up a fire sign and threw it hard on his face.

Xia Yan exclaimed, and his face was hit and hurt a little.

But he heard Wang laughing and scolding, "The world is probably going to die long ago! I don't do anything, but I can recite the excuses so well! The emperor's feet are smelly. If you don't clean it up, he won't clean it up, and you won't do this little thing, and you will be your fucking official!"

Then, another fire sign fell heavily on Xia Yan's face.

"The prince consort!"

The clay man also has three parts of fire. Although he was used to being a smiling person in Shuntian Mansion, Xia Yan finally got angry at this time. He said angrily: "Sir can be killed but not humiliated! The lower-ranking officials have been studying hard for twenty years and have been in the official career for another thirty years. He has always been pride in his career and asked himself about his own questions. On the other hand, you, the prince-in-law, are in charge of soldiers in the capital, kidnapped officials, and insulted officials in the court. What are you going to do?!"

"I am a civil servant, how can I be so humiliated by honors and relatives?!"

Zou Xueyi also stood up and said, "No, today's matter is tortuous, and the officials will witness it with their own eyes. If the prince-consort does not restrain himself, the prince will write a letter to sue the prince-consort!"

Zhou Yan was slightly surprised and his face was tightly tense.

The old man Xia Yan usually looks like he doesn't have any official spirit, but he is not strong enough in his position. But once he gets angry, it still makes people feel thrilled. At this time, the implication is to mobilize civil servants to attack Wang Xiao.

Now that I'm going to be implicated.

Wang Xiao smiled sarcastically.

"This is the Chu Dynasty officialdom? How small is it to clear the ditches, kill rats and insects? You even brought out the regulations of Taizu? It's so decayed that you are worthy of Emperor Taizu?"

Zhou Yan's heart trembled suddenly.

He suddenly felt that Wang Xiao was saying these words for him.

Today is prepared. Wang Xiao should have a better way to suppress Xia Yan, but after this debate... he wanted to see the officials of the Chu Dynasty? Also see why the Chu Dynasty has reached its present level?

Just a small matter of clearing the canal and destroying rats is so difficult. How determined is it to revive the country?

Wang Xiao looked at Zhou Yan's thoughtful look, nodded slightly, and then made a gesture to Qin Xuance.

Qin Xuance understood and came forward with Bai Laohu. One of them pressed Zou Xueyi and the other pressed Xia Yan, and said grimly: "Do you write the document?"

Xia Yan was unafraid and said loudly: "I have said that a soldier can be killed but not humiliated..."

Wang smiled and said, "There is one prefect and one prefect, and it's enough to keep one. The father gave the King of Qi a sword, and he can kill him first and then report it."

Zhou Yan's eyelids twitched.

What kind of Shangfang Sword?

Where did the sword come from?

Wang Xiao, you are so overdoing!

Bai Laohu smiled and said, "I'm here, I haven't killed a third-rank official yet."

As he said that, he picked up the knife and weighed Xia Yan's neck.

As soon as the cold blade touched the skin, Xia Yan suddenly shuddered and said in panic: "The official of the lower official knows that he is wrong, the official of the lower official writes!"

"The next document is more than this one. Lord Xia has thought about it?" Wang smiled, "If you have to regret it in a few days, why not stop Lord Zou's future now."

Zou Xueyi heard Wang laugh at him, and when his legs were weak, he almost knelt down.

Xia Yan was angry and afraid, but more afraid, and said in a trembling voice: "Writing from the officials, you can write any documents you want..."

"very good."

"The first thing is to use His Highness of Qi and Shuntian Prefecture to send a message to the Five City Military and Horses Office to clear the ditches in the capital, clean the streets, kill rats and control insects. There is a batch of masks and clothes outside, so that all laborers can wear them. If they take them off without authorization, they will be severely punished..."

"The second thing is that the traffic control in the capital will be regulated from now on, and the people in the capital will not be gathered, gambling, and leaving the house without any trouble..."

Xia Yan said: "But, Shuntian Prefecture has no authority... The officials of the lower ranks are willing to write, but Shuntian Prefecture has no authority to martial law in the capital."

Finally, he added: "It is even more inappropriate to be in the name of His Highness of Qi."

Wang Xiao nodded and said, "I will inform the police camp and the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Guard. Just write your documents. Also, pay attention to your wording and never say 'martial law' to avoid panic and just say 'traffic control'."

"yes."

"The third thing is that I will let people from the Beijing Suburb Industrial Park enter the city, establish quarantine, isolation, diagnosis and cold places in the capital according to the Beijing Suburbs. Shuntian Prefecture sends people to cooperate and inform the people in the name of the government."

"The fourth thing is to collect the bodies of the sick and dead..."

“The fifth thing…”

Wang Xiao talked for a long time, and Xia Yan picked up his pen and started writing documents, sending them to the five cities' military commanders, the police camp, the Beijing Guard Commander and other yamen.

"The subordinates still have to remind the prince consort. Many things may not be willing to cooperate with each other." Xia Yan whispered after writing the document.

"I know." Wang Xiao said: "You will not go home these days. Please find out all the streets and hiding maps of the capital; find out the household registration of the capital, and register the number of people in each store; keep a record of the deaths and plagues in the past few days to understand the projects of various measures and adjust at any time..."

When the officials in the hall heard this, they began to whisper.

"How can I not go home? Since ancient times, no one has treated officials like this." Finally, someone shouted with courage.

"What does the prince consort want to do? Can you hold me hostage?"

Wang Xiao ordered the soldiers, "Come in."

Then he saw a soldier carrying a heavy box in.

The box was lifted up under the curious eyes of everyone, and there was a burst of surprise. It was a box of silver.

Several officials who were in charge of the administration, and those who promoted the officials were still a little indifferent to the money, but many civil servants were a little surprised.

Wang Xiao was quite pleased with their expressions.

There are soldiers on one side and silver on the other, which can be regarded as a big stick and a carrot.

"Next, those who have made great contributions in epidemic prevention will receive a reward." Wang Xiao said, "Look, the bento I ordered for you has arrived, so please work overtime with all your heart..."
