Chapter 972 Plan
In the second half of July, the entire south of Jingjiu officially entered the scorching summer. Taking Fengri City as an example, the hot summer here can make dogs too lazy to move.
However, the impact of the scorching sun as always has begun to change. The real rich people have actually been very low when they have been infested by the scorching sun in the past two years. Only ordinary people are still sweating profusely in the sweltering summer, and those who can afford air conditioners are already enjoying the artificial coolness leisurely.
There is no such thing as "technology changes life" here, or even "technology". Even the Ministry of Industry has only some basic mechanical research, most of which are used in battle, and a small part is used in farming.
Therefore, the emergence of air conditioners has really changed the living habits of many people.
Of course, even after the war in the south, Pan Lingshi is still a strictly controlled material, and only a small amount is sold outside. Most people still have to go to the black market if they want to get it. In addition, the emergence of air-conditioning has increased the consumption of pan-spirit stones during non-wartimes, which has caused the price of pan-spirit stones to remain high, and even rise steadily.
Therefore, although the price of the air conditioner itself has dropped repeatedly, the most basic air conditioner is actually enough for ordinary people with wealthy families to buy it, but because of the Pan Lingshi, it is not affordable to buy it.
On the contrary, government offices in various places have already begun to use air conditioners, at least in the main government offices in the government offices. Even the most basic models are rough in appearance, which does not affect the practical effect.
And those eyes that were infiltrated into the air conditioner and disguised as components also slowly entered the yamen along with the popularity of air conditioners. Among them, the local yamen are the most, because they have the least chance of entering and leaving high-ranking monks, which also minimizes the chance of the sky eye being discovered.
On the contrary, the more the Sky Eyes are spread out, the more messages will be sent back, and the more information needs to be screened, analyzed, and sorted out, which makes Heishui's not rich manpower even more stretched.
Wang Jian had already reported the shortage of manpower to Shen Hao, and Shen Hao also agreed to the application for the second expansion of Heishui, and this time he was considered drastic, directly allowing Wang Jian to double the manpower. Of course, the expansion is mainly the structure of the middle and lower levels, but the expansion of the structure of the Blackwater core cannot be so urgent, it can only be done slowly, and it has become the norm.
However, Heishui tasted the sweetness of relying on the eyes of the sky to obtain information because of the rollout of the air conditioner, and it also gave a great blessing to the intelligence side of the Black Flag Camp. But no matter how cool the air conditioner is, it can't make many people feel comfortable this year. This is especially true for people in Xuanqing Guards in various places.
In the past, there would be "purges" in Xuanqing Guard every now and then, and the official newspapers would catch some typical examples to deter unclean people everywhere. But generally speaking, it's just scratching the surface. Those who are dealt with are some unlucky ones or idiots who offended Shangfeng. It seems that every time the real thing is done, but in fact the core issue has never been involved.
If you really want to count, Jingxi has carried out an operation to clean the west before, and that time can be regarded as a purge within Xuanqingwei, and it was also a relatively large-scale operation. In addition, the copper cabinet on the side of Jingxi is indeed real. Taking advantage of actual results, Jingxi is much cleaner than other places after a lot of tossing.
But places other than Jingxi were hit hard this time.
Is Qianhuguan considered a bigwig in the local area? What's more, Xuanqingwei's Thousand Household Officers are all big figures who stomp their feet and shake the ground, but this time they are like little chickens, they are directly pressed on the ground and then locked away. There is no room for people to react, and the tyrannical command will do it right away, who would dare to stop it?
Thousands of household officials are still being beaten and killed at will like chickens, let alone the people below? Who doesn't live with his head shrunk?
If you don't do bad things, you will naturally not be afraid in your heart. But the problem is that what used to be a "normal" little action is now a big disaster with a head, who can bear it? It's okay if you don't get pointed out, but if you get pointed out, you really can't get away with a dead word.
There are also careful people who can find that all the victims were drawn out by a thread, and the source is the copper cabinets that have been placed on the street for many years but have not been taken seriously by everyone. To be exact, it was the report letter in those copper cabinets!
What is the copper cabinet? Isn't that a decoration made by that evil star in Jingxi in order to pile up his credit? Who cares about those ugly cabinets in the entire Jingjiu Dynasty except those idiots in Jingxi? Ordinary people who are not farts want to bring down Xuan Qingwei, who can't even be controlled by the law, just by throwing letters into such a cabinet? Isn't this whimsical?
But the reality is so fantastic, a mere copper cabinet that no one looks down on, has now become a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the arrogant and arrogant big shots in the past, life and death depend on whether their names are written on the In the report letters in those cabinets, the taste was reversed so unacceptably.
More and more people died, and in the end even the family members of the governor were affected, and they were treated equally, and few people could come out after entering.
However, there were many people who died, and many people saw some clues, that is, all the people who went in were people who had no bottom line. People who don't hurt and don't itch have not been bypassed so far. So it seems that the Black Flag Camp is also holding back some strength, otherwise Xuan Qingwei might not have a clean one up and down, right?
Shen Xixing? Naturally, it won't be clean, but why is the handle of the knife in someone's hand now? He can kill whoever he wants, and you can bully him the other way around, can't you? What's more, he is not only from the fourth grade like the Zhenfushi, but also a celebrity in front of the Commander, even His Majesty has summoned him alone, who can provoke him?
Although such a judgment is not enough to stabilize the mentality, it has also relieved many people. After all, the big deal for everyone is to take some, and by the way, make some conveniences of the world, and murder people's lives without harming nature, isn't it a heinous crime? You Black Flag Battalion can't really be wiped out like this, right?
At the same time, the atmosphere in Xuanqing Guard was also stirred up by the blood. More and more people, be they timid or defensive, are secretly and quickly ending their gray income. They would rather have a tighter life than wait for this gust of wind Let's finish blowing first.
However, by the end of July, Xuan Qingwei's internal purge had actually come to an end. Like most people watching nervously, although this kind of purge is unprecedented, it can't be done in one step.
It's not that Shen Hao doesn't want to do it in one step, nor does it want to have a "shock therapy", but that Xuan Qingwei really can't "shock", the cost is too high, and such a decision may not even support him. would agree. Therefore, we can only pinch the head-on kills to suppress people's hearts, and then start to rebuild the atmosphere from the bottom, and at the same time supplement it with long-term purges, so as to slowly reverse Xuan Qingwei's stubborn illness.
