Zhao Ziliang had just finished breakfast that day when Chief Shi Liu Shan came over and complained: "General, these days, there have been thirteen cases of theft, five cases of murder, and eighteen cases of disputes between neighbors in the city.
When disputes arise over various trivial matters, I really don’t know how to deal with them, and reviewing and solving cases is not my specialty.
I haven’t slept a wink for three days in a row.”
In the few days after the Tang army took over Suiye City, there were many conflicts between the various tribes in the city due to customs.
Before the government affairs were on the right track and social security had not stabilized, Zhao Ziliang had to implement military control. , dispatched soldiers and horses to forcibly suppress these conflicts, and only after killing several times in a row could the conflicts between the tribes be resolved.
It was suppressed, but a new problem appeared again, that is, social security issues.
This kind of matter must be handled by dedicated personnel.
That is to say, the Administrative Affairs Department under the Governor's Office must set up an arrest room to specifically handle public security incidents.
However, all Zhao Ziliang's subordinates are It's okay for the rough soldiers to kill people with knives, but it's completely blind to let them solve cases.
Zhao Ziliang had no choice but to send a letter to Bi Sichen, the newly-appointed chief of the city guard, and transferred Zhou Shancun, the inspector who was guarding the city, to him.
Can't do more , was promoted by Zhao Ziliang to the rank of patrol captain of the garrison, so he was also regarded as Zhao Ziliang's person.
Bi Sichen had just returned from Chang'an when he received Zhao Ziliang's letter, so he sold a favor to Zhao Ziliang and deposited it with Zhou Shan.
After Zhao Ziliang listened to Liu Dan's complaint, he also looked troubled and helpless.
The new Yamen originally had a lot of chores and was not perfect, so it was inevitable that he would encounter various problems.
This is normal, but now the security problem has It has become the biggest problem since the establishment of the Metropolitan Government.
If this problem is not solved, people of all ethnic groups inside and outside the city will become panicked, and business travelers will not stop here because they are worried that it is not safe.
If business travelers do not stop here, Suiye City will have no income. , Zhao Ziliang had no money to raise troops.
While he was troubled, Chu Ge walked in with his sword in hand, bowed to the two of them, and said, "General, Zhou Shancun has arrived from Diaochuan City and is right outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion."
Zhao Ziliang was overjoyed and couldn't help but stand up and said repeatedly: "Ah, is he here?
Let him in quickly."
"promise" After a while, Chu Ge walked in with two dusty-looking people.
One of them was Zhou Shancun, but he didn't recognize the other one.
"See General" Zhou Shancun bowed his hands and bowed respectfully, and the other person also followed suit.
Zhao Ziliang quickly stood up and walked down the steps to help the two of them up.
He smiled at Zhou Shancun and said, "It would be great if Yi Zhi is here.
General, this place is a mess.
The public security in Suiye City is too chaotic.
I will come here to take charge of it before You Yi."
The general is relieved.
Yi Zhi, let me introduce to you.
This is Liu Dan and Liu Changshi, who specializes in assisting the general in handling the government affairs of Suiye Dudu Mansion.
From now on, you will serve under him."
When Zhou Shancun heard this, he bowed his hands to Liu Dan and said, "I have met Mr.
Liu."
Liu Dan felt a little unhappy when he saw this, waved his hand and said: "No need."
Zhao Ziliang saw it clearly and didn't care.
He pointed at the person next to Zhou Shancun and asked, "Who is this?"
This young man looks elegant, wearing a gray cloth long-sleeved robe, a square scarf on his head, and a scholar's sword hanging from his waist.
He must be a scholar.
Zhou Shancun quickly introduced: "General, let me introduce you.
This is a close friend of my subordinates.
His surname is Di, his given name is Kejian, and his given name is Ziqin."
Di Kejian quickly saluted Zhao Ziliang and Liu Dan: "Late Di Kejian has met General Zhao and Master Liu."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and asked: "Where is Brother Ziqin from?
How could he come to Anxi?"

Zhou Shancun hurriedly introduced: "General, Mr.
Liu, Brother Ziqin is the great-great-grandson of Di Gong.
He has a profound family knowledge.
He obtained the case-solving letters left by Di Gong during his lifetime and studied them carefully.
In recent years, he has gained a lot of experience.
My subordinates are The general is coming The letter learned that the public security in Suiye City was chaotic and there were many perpetrators.
It happened that Brother Ziqin came here to join the army, so he dragged him over.
His subordinates recommended Brother Ziqin to the general to be responsible for criminal investigation and solving the case.
Willing to serve as deputy” Zhao Ziliang had not yet spoken, but Liu Dan was shocked.
He stood up and asked, "The Di Gong you are talking about is Di Renjie, Di Ge, and Huai Yinggong."
Zhou Shancun immediately replied: "Exactly" Di Renjie, also known as Huaiying, joined the cabinet as a minister when Wu Zetian was the emperor, so he was often called Mr.
Di Ge.
If Wu Zetian wanted to secure the throne, she had to eradicate the influence of the aristocratic family headed by Changsun Wuji, and then support officials from poor families. , and Di Renjie was a representative and outstanding figure among officials from poor families.
With his help, Wu Zetian finally The throne was secure, but he always insisted that if Wu Zetian died, the throne must be passed to Li Tang.
Wu Zetian was not happy about this, so he was demoted several times.
However, during Wu Zetian's reign, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty declined. , there were many troubles both in the court and in the border areas, and Wu Zetian had to recall him every time to give him important tasks.
"It turns out he is a descendant of Di Gong.
Liu is disrespectful and disrespectful."
Liu Dan quickly raised his hand.
Di Kejian returned the gift repeatedly and said modestly: "The descendants are unfilial and have insulted the reputation of our ancestors.
I am really ashamed."
Zhao Ziliang said: "I didn't expect that Brother Ziqin was actually a descendant of Di Gong.
Di Gong is one of the people I admire the most.
I want to set up a sentencing officer under the Government Affairs Department to be responsible for the detection and trial of cases under the Suiye Dudu Mansion."
I am under Mr.
Liu in terms of affairs, and I also ask Brother Ziqin to serve as the punishment officer.
I wonder if it is possible."
Upon hearing this, Di Kejian bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "Detecting and trying cases can be regarded as my expertise.
In this case, I would like to thank the general and Mr.
Liu."
Liu Dan smiled and waved his hands and said: "Okay, okay, now that Ziqin is in charge of criminal investigation matters, it will be much easier for me.
If there is anything that Ziqin can't solve, just ask me."
"Being Jian will definitely live up to the trust of generals and adults."
Zhao Ziliang said to Zhou Shancun again: "I'm sorry, this general's governor's office has just been established.
There are many chores and insufficient manpower.
Now that you are here, you can't be idle.
You have to continue to take care of military discipline matters.
So, in military affairs An inspection office has been established under the command, and I have appointed you to take charge of it.
I am appointed as the Inspecting Captain, and I will give you one hundred people to be responsible for inspecting the military discipline of all the armies under the Governor's Mansion.
In addition, you are also considered a member of the military, and you cannot have a military rank, otherwise you will not be able to control the arrogant and powerful generals below.
So, This general has promoted you to the rank of Colonel Zhiguo of the seventh rank, waiting for your establishment.
You have to work hard and be promoted separately.
In addition, you have to temporarily take charge of the public security in the city, and concurrently serve as the chief arrester under the commanding officer of the Dudu Mansion.
The general will also transfer fifty people from his own retinue to you temporarily.
It's under your command.

You have three things to do now.
First, take care of Maintain public security in the city, and then manage the discipline of the army.
Finally, you have to teach this general a reserve candidate for the chief arrest, and then train a group of police officers.
The police officers will be recruited from the local people.
Even if you teach them out, this general It is impossible for your subordinates to serve as your chief killer all the time."
Zhou Shancun cupped his fists and saluted: "The kindness of the general's knowledge will be unforgettable by my subordinates.
I will do my best and die for it."
With the participation of Zhou Shancun and Di Kejian, in a short period of time, the public security problems in Suiye City and several small towns under its jurisdiction have been greatly improved.
The backlog of cases in the past few days was downplayed by Di Kejian.
After the investigation was easily solved and the trial was completed, Zhao Ziliang was in a good mood and rewarded Di Kejian and Zhou Shancun with fifty coins.
After the public security improved, business travelers traveling between the East and the West began to settle down and stay in Suiye City and several of its subordinate towns.
Businessmen also opened shops here to purchase goods from the East and the West.
Some businessmen from Chang'an believe that although the profits from going to the West are huge, the journey is too far and too dangerous along the way, so it is better to sell the goods in Suiye City.
Although the profit is less, it is better than safety.
The same is true for merchants from the West.
Merchants from both sides sold the goods they brought here and bought back some goods from the Tang Dynasty to take back.
Suiye City has gradually become a large-scale transfer station for Eastern and Western commodities.
However, a large part of the caravans still only stay here for accommodation and business.
Merchants from the West want to see the prosperity and greatness of Chang'an, and come from Merchants from Chang'an also wanted to go to Western Asia, Persia and the Eastern Roman Empire to see the civilizations there, and they could also make huge profits.
At this time, there were two overland Silk Roads after leaving the country, namely the southern route and the northern route.
The southern route took the Uzbeli Pass and crossed the Pamir Plateau, a rugged and extremely dangerous area, into Tochara.
The territory ruled by the chieftain then goes westward into the Dashi Kingdom.
The northern route passes through Tuoyunbao or along the Ili River.
After going west, it either passes through the Bahanna Kingdom or goes to Suiye City.
Relatively speaking, if you are worried about whether it is unsafe to go to Dashi Country via Suiye City, pass through Ashbulai City and Julan City, then go south through Henglus City and enter the territory of Shi Kingdom, then pass through the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu and enter Dashi Country. , you can also reach Permanros City without going south, and go straight to Going west, crossing the Caspian Sea and finally arriving at the Eastern Roman Empire, this road is much smoother, but passing through the territory of the Bakhna country and taking the southern route is much more dangerous.
The tribes of Tocharia in the south are at war with each other all the year round, and the roads are not smooth.
It’s easy to walk, and you have to cross the snow-capped mountains many times.
However, due to the Tuqishi rebellion in the past year and the tense and bad relations with the Tang Dynasty, the northern route has become very unsafe.
Therefore, many businessmen traveling between the east and the west dare not take the northern route, and there are fewer business travelers on this road than before.
A lot.
This is also something that Zhao Ziliang has been worried about these days.
With less business travel, the income of Suiye City and its small towns will be less.
It is necessary to attract businessmen to take this road.
So how to attract businessmen to take this road has become Zhao Ziliang's problem.
The biggest headache now
