The Travelers of the Heavens

Liao Lei (PS: This person has nothing to do with Liao Lei, he is the original actor in this story, don’t be confused) is the current mayor of Yancheng. He was originally the mayor of Chongqing and was transferred to the mayor of Yancheng at the end of 1964.

His appointment was an order signed by Chu Xun, and was not reported to Wang Yu, who was far away in Jiankang. Moreover, Liao Lei never went to Jiankang to meet Wang Yu after taking office, so it was normal for Wang Yu to have no impression of Liao Lei.

In addition to the garrisoned Kyushu Army in Dongzhou and Beizhou, administrative agencies in various places were re-established along with the abolition of provinces and the establishment of states, such as prefectures, cities, counties, townships and other official offices.

These levels are the main administrative units in the mainland of the Great Zhou Empire and the territories outside the Nine Provinces and Ten Thousand Kingdoms. State officials are called"provincial governors" just like those in the mainland of the Great Zhou Empire."Mayors" are appointed in cities, and"counties" are appointed in counties. A township has a"township chief".

As for the districts in the city, the districts in the county, and the townships in the township, they are not considered to be the main administrative units. Basically, the districts and districts are elected by themselves, and then certified by the higher-level units directly under the central government before they can take office..

Although Yancheng was abolished as the capital, under Chu Xun's suggestion, Yancheng was directly governed by the current capital Jiankang. Therefore, although the administrative power of the mayor of Yancheng is lower than that of the state governor, his salary is the same as that of the state governor..

Yancheng's special status is somewhat similar to that of modern"municipalities".

The current mayor of Yancheng, Liao Lei, is a native of Dongzhou. He served in the original North China Maintenance Committee in 1945 and was one of the younger members of the maintenance committee at that time.

As traitor organizations such as Maintenance Associations in various places were banned, Liao Lei was selected into a crash course for a year of study to adapt to the upcoming new situation after being temporarily unemployed.

After graduation, Liao Lei first served as the mayor of the township, and later served as the mayor of Fengtai County and Miyun County. In 1960, he was appointed mayor of Chongqing. It was not until the end of 1964 that he was transferred to the mayor of Yancheng, a"direct municipality" due to his outstanding work.

Administrative officials like Liao Lei do not wear military uniforms. They all wear gray or dark gray Mao suits and a round bear's head badge on the left chest.

The crash course is mainly used to train suitable former Wang Puppet, former Puppet Manchukuo, and suitable personnel in maintenance committees in various places. After the training, they will be tested and then recruited.

Major universities, primary and secondary schools in Dongzhou and Beizhou are currently closed. For a long time, there will no longer be the primary, secondary and university students in our impression. They will be replaced by private schools, which are currently mainly used for literacy. No more esoteric knowledge is taught.

In the overseas territories of the Great Zhou Empire, wherever people live, Luoyi Mandarin will become the official language. The private schools in Dongzhou and Beizhou teach Luoyi Mandarin instead of the local language. These private school teachers have also received literacy training. Then he opened a private school to continue literacy.

As for the remaining professors, doctors, and deans from the original Republic of China era in Dongzhou and Beizhou, their academic qualifications were not recognized by the Zhou Empire, and they were no different from being illiterate.

As for reopening various schools, we will consider it in the future, and the military academy is a very special existence. The students in the military academy are all active soldiers of the Kyushu Army.

This is completely different from our understanding of social recruitment and admission to national defense academies through college entrance examinations and other methods. The military academy of the Kyushu Army is called the Military Academy. If you want to enter the academy, you must first join the army. After joining the army, you must pass the exam before you can enter the academy.

All recruits of the Kyushu Army must undergo a literacy course before joining the army. Illiterate recruits must attend literacy classes to learn basic knowledge so that they can understand the content of written orders under special circumstances without being at a loss.

Therefore, the overall cultural quality of the Kyushu Army is second to none among various armies with slave-owning, feudal and aristocratic nature.

Back to business.

Mayor Liao was guided by the female officer into the outer hall of Qian'an Palace to wait, and a maid served hot tea.

"OK, thank you." Liao Lei said thank you.

"Your Excellency, the regent will be here soon," the female officer said to Liao Lei

""Okay." Liao Lei nodded, but he did not sit down. Instead, he walked back and forth to look at the furnishings in the hall.

About ten minutes later

""His Royal Highness the Regent is here," a maid called at the door.

Hearing the sound, Liao Lei immediately straightened his clothes and stood up.

Wang Yu also walked in at this time.

"Liao Lei, who is of humble rank, comes to see the regent. I wish you good health and long life." Liao Lei bowed in greeting.

"Excuse me, Sir Liao, please take a seat." Wang Yu first sat on the dragon chair, and then gestured.

"Yes, thank you Prince Regent." Liao Lei thanked him and sat down.

"Mr. Liao, do you have any important official business to meet me?" Wang Yu asked

"I heard that the regent had arrived, so I came here to pay my respects," Liao Lei said.

"Haha, when did you take office?" Wang Yu asked

"1964No, no, no, he was transferred from Chongqing at the end of the 17th year of Chong'an," Liao Lei said.

"It doesn't matter, the time is the same, you don't have to be nervous," Wang Yu said

"Thank you Prince Regent for your understanding," Liao Lei responded.

"Master Chu transferred you to Yancheng, right? It seems that you are very capable." Wang Yu asked

"The regent and the prime minister’s appreciation make me feel very honored," Liao Lei said.

"The folk customs in Yancheng are good, and you have contributed a lot." Wang Yu nodded and said

"It is all thanks to the cultivation of the regent and the prime minister that I have the opportunity to show my ambition," Liao Lei said

"Mr. Chu has entrusted you with the management of Yancheng, which shows that you are a trustworthy person. Is there anyone else in your family?"Wang Yu asked

"My mother is here, as well as two wives and three sons and two daughters." Liao Lei told the truth.

"Oh, very good, it seems that the family is very prosperous; what does your son do for a living now?" Wang Yu nodded, and then said

"The eldest son is now a patrol officer at Songjiang Police Station, and the other two sons are still young and have nothing to do at home," Liao Lei said.

"Well, it's good to work in Songjiang, which is also a prosperous city," Wang Yu said.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Nowadays, there are no universities, middle schools, or primary schools. Liao Lei's second son and third son can only Staying at home for the time being, these two children are too young to apply for the police station or join the army. Even if the age is relaxed to 18 years old, Liao Lei's second and third sons are not up to standard.

"What the regent said is absolutely true, Songjiang is very good," Liao Lei agreed.

"Are you familiar with the situation in the Taihang Mountains?"Wang Yu asked

"I heard people say that the villages and towns around the Taihang Mountains have been hit by natural disasters frequently and the land has become barren and the villagers’ lives are so miserable that there are even cases of people exchanging their children to eat, or even digging people’s graves and taking their corpses to eat," said Liao Lei.

"It’s really not what I want, I have to do it," Wang Yu said

"Yes, you also have difficulties," Liao Lei agreed.

"Outside the blockade, I don't want to see anything that can still breathe. You have to keep a close eye here and don't allow any usable materials to flow to areas outside the blockade." Wang Yu stood up and ordered.

He wanted to continue to tighten the blockade. The areas outside the"Great Wall" blockade that are not controlled by the Great Zhou Empire must be completely turned into dead areas, and then Wang Yu can restore them.

"Yes." Liao Lei also stood up and lowered his head in response.

"Okay, if there is nothing else, you can go down," Wang Yu said

""I resigned from my post" and Liao Lei left the palace. He felt that Wang Yu was a very contradictory person, and at the same time he was shocked by Wang Yu's cruelty.

The next day, Wang Yu announced in Yancheng in the name of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Empire The order was issued to continue to tighten the blockade. Not a drop of water, a grain of food, or a tiny bit of useful things was allowed to flow out of the blockade. If there was any problem, the person in charge of the place would be severely punished.

After the order was issued, there were still two dealers who were trying to dump supplies in the face of the wind. After being caught, the ten tribes were killed, and this smuggling trend was quickly banned. At this time, the already difficult days outside the blockade will become even more difficult in the future.
