Du Yu looked at the dumbfounded Lin Yang and chuckled.
"Lord Lin might not know much about our Qiongzhou.”
"The officials of Qiongzhou are more detailed. Unlike the officials of the imperial court, they were more cosy.”
Lin Yang asked doubtfully,"
"What do you mean?"
Du Yu smiled and said,
"For example, in Leizhou, the magistrate of a county has a chief clerk and a county magistrate. The county magistrate is in charge of the county's affairs, while the county magistrate is in charge of the documents and the county's warehouse management.”
"The registrar is in charge of household registration and arrest.”
"But it's different in Qiongzhou. In Qiongzhou, although the magistrate of a county is also in charge of the affairs of the county, he's more in charge of the overall situation.”
"As for the registrar and the county deputy, although they are also in charge of some affairs, they are no longer in charge of the county's affairs. They only control and assist the county magistrate to develop the county.”
"In addition to these three main official positions, Qiongzhou has also set up a tax office, investigation office, business management office, traffic office, city management office, construction office, land management office, labor office, civil affairs office, supervision office, judgment office, and so on. There are too many, so I won't introduce them one by one.”
"In addition to the county-level officials, Qiongzhou also has township-level officials. Although there are not many of them, they are still a large number.”
"So, don't look down on these people's ordinary clothes. In fact, most of them are officials of Qiongzhou. Moreover, this is only the first batch, about eight thousand people. There will be a second and third batch, depending on the needs of Leizhou.”
"So, Lord Lin, don't make a fuss.”
After listening to Du Yu's introduction, Lin Yang was completely dumbfounded!
His mind was in a mess.
Qiongzhou had so many officials from just one province?
Was this really not a joke?
According to Du Yu, just Leizhou alone had nearly 20,000 officials.
Was he crazy?
How many people did he have in the entire Leizhou Prefecture?
How many commoners were there?
It was estimated that it would not exceed one million at most.
Leizhou had less than a million people, but there were as many as 20,000 officials.
What was he doing?
Was there something wrong with this King Qiong's brain?
Moreover, how much money was needed to support so many officials?
Could Qiongzhou afford it?
With this money, wouldn't it be much better to raise weapons?
This was only a small Leizhou. If this King Qiong really ruled the world in the future, how many officials would he need?
A million?
Or two million?
Thinking of this, Lin Yang suddenly regretted it.
With Qiongzhou's style of doing things, could it really achieve great things?
Wasn't it too careless of him to damage King Qiong's pirate ship like this?
Just as Lin Yang was letting his imagination run wild, Yu suddenly said,"
"Right, Lord Lin, His Highness King Qiong asked me to ask you. Now that King Jingjiang is rebelling in Guangxi, Leizhou and Guangxi are only separated by one province.”
Lin Yang was stunned, then he shook his head and said,"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. However, although Leizhou is only one province away from Guangxi, it is not an important province. Moreover, I think that with the current troops of the Leizhou Guard, it is not a problem to defend Leizhou. There is no need for Your Highness to mobilize more troops.”
Du Yu nodded.
"That's fine too. His Highness King Qiong said that if Lord Lin has any needs, you can just ask. The guards of Qiongzhou are ready to enter Leizhou to help you at any time!”
Lin Yang smiled and nodded."
"This humble official thanks King Qiong for your kind intentions. This humble official will remember this.”
Hearing this, Du Yu didn't say anything else. He began to organize the officials who disembarked and distribute them in an orderly manner.
Lin Yang looked at the busy Du Yu and didn't stay any longer. He left with his men.
Although Lin Yang couldn't understand why King Qiong would mobilize so many officials, he didn't intend to interfere since he had already handed over the administrative affairs of Leizhou Prefecture.
Right now, the top priority for Leizhou was to set up defenses in Leizhou as soon as possible.
Although he had only met King Jingjiang once, he could tell that King Jingjiang was a vengeful person.
Lin Yang couldn't guarantee that after King Jingjiang took down Guang Xi, he wouldn't go south to attack Leizhou in revenge.
He needed to be prepared!
……
At the same time.
The news of King Jingjiang's rebellion in Guang Xi also reached the Ying Tian Prefecture immediately.
When Zhu Yunwen heard the news, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
The King of Yan in the north was causing him a lot of trouble, and the King of Jingjiang suddenly appeared in the south.
To be honest, Zhu Yunwen had almost no impression of who King Jingjiang was.
If it wasn't for Qi Tai's reminder, he wouldn't have remembered that he had such a distant relative.
However, Zhu Yunwen did not have much of an impression of King Jingjiang, but she had heard a lot about the Prime Minister of King Jingjiang!
"Hu Weiyong! Damn it! Wasn't Hu Weiyong killed by his great-grandfather? Who can tell me why he is still alive?”
Sitting in the main hall, Zhu Yunwen looked at the ministers below with an ashen face.
He simply could not imagine that a person who had been executed by Emperor Taizu back then was actually still alive and well now. He had even become the prime minister of the southern rebels!
Was there a need to be so sarcastic?
The officials below looked at each other. How were they supposed to answer this question?
They did not know either!
Looking at the livid Emperor, the officials all chose to remain silent.
At this moment, Qi Tai stood up and said in a deep voice,"
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to ask why Hu Weiyong is still alive. The most important thing now is that the Imperial Court needs to immediately send an army to the south to quell the rebellion.”
"The Guang and Guangxi regions are the rich lands of our Ming Dynasty. More than thirty percent of the taxes of the Ming Dynasty come from the Guang and Guangxi regions. Now, Guang Xi is in a mess. If we can't quickly set things right, the impact will probably be even greater than Yan Ni's.”
Qi Tai's words made Zhu Yunwen calm down quickly.
However, when she thought of sending troops to quell the rebellion, Zhu Yunwen's head started to hurt again.
Zhu Di from the north had forced him to use Geng Bingwen, a veteran who was over seventy years old.
Now that Hu Weiyong had appeared in the south, who would the imperial court send to fight?
