The officers and the dispatch office recruited by the Guardian Martial Department recently were mostly picked by Shen Qing from respectable families within the neighborhood, as well as fringe members connected to the Thirteen Lines.
These individuals were very clean, without any background, and were easy to control.
Moreover, these people were chosen by Shen Qing himself after careful selection, which was entirely different from those who had come in relying on personal connections in the past.
To put it bluntly, Shen Qing was their common sponsor, and the path they took was all through Shen Qing.
They had a relationship with Shen Qing where they prospered together or suffered together.
Furthermore, Shen Qing did not have the undesirable habits of Zheng Yuanqiu, never withholding others' official salaries, and occasionally offering rewards.
For a while, the past undesirable atmosphere of the Guardian Martial Department was swept away, with everyone striving to excel.
