Chapter 44 Wang Gui: King Li Kuan of Chu, a talented person in governing the world

 After thinking for a long time, Li Kuan didn't understand, so he found his own car.

Xu Jingzong, who was very busy, came over quickly when he heard Li Kuan's call.

Although I am very busy, I cannot delay when my boss calls me.

After describing Wei Zheng's words to Xu Jingzong, Li Kuan waited for his reply.

Xu Jingzong frowned, what is this?

His family is from a poor family, which is better than a poor family and poorer than an ordinary aristocratic family. He said that he simply could not understand what choice Wang Gui was making.

How much benefit would it have to make the now powerful Wang Gui give up everything to benefit the family?

When aristocratic families are in political struggle, sons of aristocratic families can be sacrificed when seeking benefits for the family.

But Xu Jingzong couldn't understand how much benefit it would be to allow someone of Wang Gui's level to make a sacrificial plan at the cost of his life?

Xu Jingzong could only choose to shake his head and smile bitterly. He really couldn't understand.

"How about you ask the prince directly? I think with your identity and relationship with the prince, it should be no problem to ask directly."

Xu Jingzong asked cautiously with an embarrassed look.

My boss asked me to make suggestions, but I couldn't respond. It was really a bit embarrassing.

Li Kuan hesitated a little and said softly: "But I am the governor of Chunzhou. If I leave, who will do the work in Chunzhou?"

Hearing this, Xu Jingzong's face twitched crazily, his eyes also showed resentment, and his voice contained the emotion of resignation: "I do it, and your job is the biggest, so you can go without worry, I will stay here, don't worry."<

/p>

Li Kuanxi smiled broadly and asked Li Hai to prepare a car for him. He took Minglan and the guards and prepared to go to see Wang Gui.

However, Li Kuan was a little confused when he saw the accompanying guards. They were all wearing the armor of the Xuanjia Army. Are they from the Xuanjia Army?

Duan Zhixuan arranged it? My relationship with him should not be as good as this.

Li Kuan was a little confused, but it didn't happen. He planned to wait and see, and he would explain it later.

If it were placed in another state, it would definitely be a big deal if the governor left.

But if you put it in Chunzhou, it doesn't matter. In Xu Jingzong's words, my Royal Highness, the King of Chu, has never done any work except for industry. I and the officials of the Li family do all the work.

If it weren't for our strong capabilities, the Chunzhou administration would have collapsed long ago.

Of course, we also have to thank His Highness the King of Chu for decentralizing power and for investing heavily in building factories so that the people of Chunzhou can have jobs and reduce the pressure on us to govern Chunzhou.

When Li Kuan was about to leave, Xu Jingzong sent two memorials, which were issues that needed Wang Gui's help to deal with.

Sitting on the carriage, Li Kuan opened the first memorial, read the contents, and laughed.

Minglan, who pinched Li Kuan's shoulders, also saw the content of the memorial, but didn't understand the joke at all.

The carriage drove slowly on the official road. Li Kuan opened the curtains and looked at the Xuanjia soldiers outside the window. The smile on his lips could not disappear. Xu Jingzong had already explained the reason in the memorial.

Li Kuan then opened the second memorial, and his laughter became even louder after reading it.

In the end, I could only choose to shake my head, muttering in my heart that Xu Jingzong is really bad, he is going to piss off the aristocratic families to death.

Li Kuan's journey was uneventful. Thanks to the efforts of a large number of aristocratic family members in the various states of Lingnan Road for official status and family interests, all the robbers who blocked the road were killed, and the barbarians in each state were also cleaned up.

This fully proves that the problem that could not be solved before was mainly because the interests were not in place.

Moreover, Li Kuan looked at the large areas of land that had been reclaimed on both sides of the road, and he also predicted the harvest of Lingnan Road next year.

The fact that Li Kuan left Chunzhou was not hidden. Many people knew that he had to go to the inns along the way to replenish supplies, and he had to use the best to replenish them.

Arriving calmly in Guangzhou, the capital of Lingnan Province where Wang Gui currently resides.

When Wang Gui saw the Xuanjia Army guarding Li Kuan, he frowned deeply.

Seeing Wang Gui's frowning expression, Li Kuan threw Xu Jingzong's two memorials over with a smile.

"Prince, take a look, these two memorials can answer all your questions."

The Guangzhou governor next to him was filled with envy when he saw Li Kuan's arrogant appearance.

He also recognized the guarding Xuanjia Army. It was a serious crime for officers and soldiers to use it for their own use. At first, he thought Li Kuan was a dandy. Now seeing how Li Kuan threw the two memorials to Wang Gui, it seemed that he was well prepared.

.

Wang Gui took the memorial and led Li Kuan into the living room. After chatting for a few words, the governor of Guangzhou saw that the two of them never got to the point, so he took the lead in bowing and leaving.

After waiting for the others to leave, Wang Gui opened the memorial. Both memorials were very simple. The first one described the Xuanjia Army in Chunzhou taking turns to have nothing to do, arranging for them to guard the caravan in Chunzhou, and then the caravan gave

Salary compensation.

The memorial was accompanied by a schedule, which was signed by Duan Zhixuan.

Wang Gui knew the significance of this memorial after reading it, signed it, and said with a smile: "I will write another memorial about the part-time job of the local resident soldiers in Lingnan and give it to His Majesty."

Li Kuan lowered his head and agreed that this was the best. Sending the two memorials together would attract Chang'an's attention. At the same time, Xu Jingzong's military part-time job in Chunzhou would not be too obvious.

The most important thing is that after reading Xu Jingzong's memorial, Li Kuan felt that this behavior was very good.

The caravans feel at ease, business develops, and the soldiers can earn some extra money to supplement their families.

Li Kuan calculated in his mind that the Xuanjia Army in Chunzhou basically got one month off in half a year. They would travel with the caravan for a month and take care of food and accommodation. The caravan would basically pay ten to twenty guan.

, calculated according to the preciousness of the goods.

There are 5,000 Xuanjia troops in Chunzhou, and the annual part-time income of these 5,000 people is enough to allow 5,000 families to earn an extra 20 yuan of starting money.

This money can improve their food, clothing, housing and transportation, and stimulate daily commerce in the area where their families live.

Wang Gui could also see this, so he chose to agree and planned to write a memorial, hoping that the court would agree to implement it in other places.

Of course, if you want to promote it nationwide, there will be a lot of things involved, and you basically need to make a template first.

But looking at the benefits contained in this matter, Wang Gui felt that it made sense to carry it out.

The second memorial is equivalent to a petition for merit.

It probably means that there are some families in Chunzhou who want to divide their families.

Nowadays, most families have more than a dozen people per household and have not divided their families, which can reduce the taxes paid.

But now some families in Chunzhou have also discovered that the factory recruits workers per household. They thought about it. Their one family has become two families. As long as the second one also joins the factory, the salary for that year will be enough to pay for both families.

The tax can save the wages of their other factory workers.

As long as the families are divided and the food is not divided, don't they just make money?

The purpose of Xu Jingzong's memorial was to ask whether they could separate their families.

Wang Gui waved his hand, wrote down his opinions, and submitted them to the central government together with the first memorial.

This is a good thing, and it means that the current system in Chunzhou is developing for the better.
