In July, some events occurred in the court.
The three provinces announced the establishment of a new surveillance system, deploying court inspectors to every state and county.
An inspector's term is three years, and during this period, if an official shows outstanding achievements, they will be immediately promoted after leaving office.
For local officials, the new surveillance system is akin to the sky falling, as it means they can no longer act freely as before; every action will now be under the watchful eyes of the inspectors.
If anything happens during an inspector's tenure, all local officials will see their promotions affected.
Additionally, the Imperial College has begun preparing more official schools. Any child over the age of five can enroll, and the academy not only teaches them to read and write but also provides two free meals a day.
Wealthy families have private tutors and look down on official schools.
