Seated high above, Xiao He waited until everyone had said their piece before rising again.
"So, everyone thinks that we first need to re-establish the Inspectorate's authority?"
"That's what I believe."
"I think so too."
"..."
Xiao He nodded slightly and looked at Baili Xinghua, the County Governor, who hadn't spoken, "What does Lord Baili think?"
Baili Xinghua remained expressionless, bowing his hands and saying, "I think that if we want to reshape the Inspectorate's authority, merely adding more constables is not enough. The key is to report to the Qin Capital and fill the vacancies of West Glory County Governor's Office and Inspector General."
The positions of Governor and Inspector General have always represented the peak of military power in Xirong County.
Baili Xinghua's point was that only such pinnacle military power could truly serve as a deterrent.
"Lord Baili speaks wisely."
The other officials nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
