Chapter 543: Two Major Departments, the Behind-the-Scenes Pushers of the Yellow Turban Rebellion!【4】

A few days later, Hanyang Commandery, Ji County.

It was November, and the bitter cold winter had already descended upon this land.

The deep blue sky was like a boundless, crystal-clear giant ice mirror, hanging high above the firmament, exuding a heart-palpitating chill.

The wild wind howled, its sound like a hungry wolf wailing at the sky, running rampant on the cold streets, mercilessly sweeping through every corner.

The withered yellow leaves and dry branches on both sides of the street were swept up by the cold wind.

Since entering November, the entire Liangzhou seemed to have been blown into an eternal frozen realm by this cold wind.

Time also seemed to have frozen at this moment, all stagnant.

The once bustling streets had now become cold and clear, with no pedestrians in sight; on the vast wilderness, the herdsmen had suddenly disappeared, hard to find.

Inside the Prefectural Office.

It was a busy scene, with servants and attendants busy, following Diaochan's prior instructions, changing into new clothes in an orderly manner. Everyone looked refreshed and brand new.

In the corridors and halls, charcoal braziers burning red were placed.

The charcoal burned vigorously, emitting warm light and bursts of heat.

The charcoal in the brazier was burning well, and sparks occasionally splashed, dispelling the winter cold, making people feel extremely comfortable and pleasant.

In the study, which was antique and filled with a faint scent of ink, Jia Xu was respectfully kneeling in front of Duan Yu.

Between the two, there were two burning charcoal braziers, and the jumping flames illuminated the room, making it flicker.

And placed in front of Duan Yu was a letter from Li Ru.

After Duan Yu finished reading it, he smiled and threw the letter into the charcoal brazier in front of him.

Although Li Ru did not explicitly state the true cause of Dong Huang's death in the letter, Duan Yu had already guessed it.

Dong Huang could not have died at Dong Zhuo's hands; he could only have died at Li Ru's hands.

Ginger is indeed spicier when it is old; when it comes to a poisonous strategist, Li Ru is now more poisonous than Jia Xu.

"Wenyu, you need to make progress."

After Duan Yu burned the letter, he looked at Jia Xu and said this for no reason.

Huh?

Jia Xu was stunned.

His expression was somewhat confused.

Then his two eyebrows twisted together.

It must be Liu Bai Tu, it must be!

It must be Liu Bai Tu who reported that he had been a bit lazy during this time.

That guy who loves to eavesdrop on other people's walls.

Looking at Jia Xu's expression, Duan Yu knew that Jia Xu probably didn't understand.

But it didn't matter; one always needs to give some time for growth, right?

"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. From now until next spring, there should be no more war."

"Next is the problem of implementing the new policies for next year."

"The three commanderies that can be settled are Jincheng, Hanyang, and Longxi."

"I plan to establish a department similar to the Salt Inspectorate in these three commanderies, called the Administration Commission."

"It will be used to manage, supervise, and promote all matters of sericulture."

"Does Wenyu have any candidates to recommend?" Duan Yu looked at Jia Xu and said.

This Administration Commission Duan Yu mentioned was similar to the Administration Commission of the Ming Dynasty.

It was just that the authority was smaller than the Administration Commission of the Ming Dynasty.

It only had the power to manage, supervise, and promote sericulture and silk reeling, and did not have the right to weave.

Currently, only sericulture and silk collection were being promoted among the Qiang.

As for weaving, he also planned to establish a Weaving Bureau separately in Hanyang Commandery.

Unify the collected silk for weaving and execute it according to standards.

This way, the styles and patterns of the silk fabric sold in the future could be customized by him, or directly customized according to the customer's requirements.

There was another reason for doing this.

That was to separate the collection of silk and weaving to avoid corruption as much as possible.

If the power of collecting silk and weaving were given to one person, then the quantity of silk collected and the quantity of weaving could be controlled by one person.

There was no way to count the specific quantity. ===== CHAPTER 545 =====
