"Sir, the mighty! The Qin army is majestic—"

"Sir, the mighty! The Qin army is majestic—"

The people were excited and cheered, and everyone's eyes were gathered on Xiao Yuan.

Screams of shouts spread throughout the streets and alleys. The scene was so lively that it had never appeared in Qinzhou in the past.

The soldiers on both sides raised their long halberds in their hands as railings, trying hard to block the crowded people forward, and they were suffering.

On the second floor on both sides of the street, petals are falling all over the sky.

I don’t know how many young girls are in love with their eyes burning.

In ancient times, there were no beauties who didn’t love heroes, let alone the prefect who retreated from foreign enemies and kept the safety of one side safe, was still so young and handsome.

Along the way, the enthusiasm of the people in various places exceeded imagination, which also indirectly shows that Xiao Yuan, the lord of Qinzhou, is the basis of the people.

The excitement continues and affects the whole city.

Fortunately, no accidents occurred under the advance preparations of Wuwei Mansion.

When Xiao Yuan finally returned to the prefect's mansion, the servants in the mansion had already been waiting for a long time.

"Sir, I'm back!" When Chu Ning saw Xiao Yuan, she couldn't help but show surprise. For her, Xiao Yuan was like a reborn parent. Not only did she save her, she also gave her the identity of a housekeeper. She never disliked her. Since she went to war, she was often worried about Xiao Yuan. Now she is happy to see her triumphantly.

After being happy, she hurriedly put her hand on her waist and gave a gift, as did other maids and servants.

"No need to be polite." Xiao Yuan waved his hand with a smile, then turned over and dismounted. While walking into the mansion, he asked casually: "Xiao Ning, is it okay in the mansion?"

All the officials followed closely behind and entered one after another.

The Qin army soldiers temporarily returned to the Qinzhou camp.

Chu Ning followed Xiao Yuan and whispered: "Everything is fine. I will go down and prepare the dishes I love most to welcome you."

"Hey? No, I still have some things to deal with here. You can do your business first."

"Ah? Sir, you have just returned from the war..."

"It's okay." Xiao Yuan smiled and looked at her, "Go."

"No." Chu Ning was helpless and worried. Although he wanted to say something, he didn't dare.

Then, Xiao Yuan began to discuss matters with a group of officials in the lobby of the prefect's mansion.

He is in the main seat, and the officials below are arranged on both sides.

Before everyone could speak, Xiao Yuan took the lead and said, "In this battle, our army defeated the Western Rong and won the full victory of the war. It has an important relationship with the delivery of food, grass and weapons in the rear. You all try your best to assist in this. I am grateful to you."

"Oh, this is my duty. If you say this, I will definitely make me wait." Jiang Yi said quickly.

"Yes, if you didn't reorganize the army and lead our Qin army to switch to meet the enemy, how could we win this battle? How dare we take credit for our superiors?" Another official said.

"Okay, okay, reward if you have merits, and punish if you have mistakes. In this battle, whether you have done your work or whether you have done your duties, I will remember it here."

Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Xiao Yuan continued: "It was just this war that made me see the sufferings of the people in Qin. Think about it, the people have already paid taxes and cannot eat, but they would rather starve to support this war. Although it is for the unity of our military and civilians in Qin, from this point of view, the people's life is responsible for whom, and everyone!"

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Yuzhi again and asked, "Mr. Liu, can the materials donated by the people have records in all regions and counties?"

"My Lord, there are detailed records. After the official website is checked, the official documents have been stored in the prefecture." Liu Yuzhi returned.

"Yeah..." Xiao Yuan nodded, and just as he was about to continue speaking, Liu Yuzhi said again: "Sir, although the people donated supplies this time were all voluntary, the following officials' opinions and governments still need to give back to the people for this matter."

"What does Lord Liu think?" Xiao Yuan asked directly.

Liu Yuzhi pondered for a moment: "For those who record the book, taxes will be reduced and exempted."

"What about your opinions?" Xiao Yuan glanced at the others again.

"This...is probably inappropriate." An official said.

Jiang Yi said, "The officials also think it is inappropriate. It is reasonable for the people to donate in the previous war. Moreover, many people only donated one or two dou of rice. If the government reduces taxes like this, wouldn't it be too cheap for those people?"

"This is not to give the people away, but to unite the people's hearts and let the people know that our government is worthy of their trust and support, and is by no means comparable before!" Liu Yuzhi defended.

Then, he faced Xiao Yuan and bowed and said, "Old people are the fundamentals. Whether it is military, horses, money, food, taxes, gold and silver, these must be transported from the people. Without the support of the people, everything will be difficult. Although this matter is small, it is the place where the people gather their hearts."

"If an army is supported by the whole nation, its combat power is unimaginable."

After hearing what he said, Xiao Yuan immediately said, "There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, as Mr. Liu said."

"As for orders--" the officials bowed and responded.

Xiao Yuan said again: "In addition, I heard that Lord Liu had met with the four major merchants in Qinzhou and punished one of the shopkeepers surnamed Qian?"

"Yes, sir."

"Yeah." Xiao Yuan nodded, and did not talk much about this matter, but changed the subject: "As for the other three merchants, they can return the money and grain together. The prefecture is not short of this amount of money now, so as not to make the population a reality."

Liu Yuzhi was a solid faction that emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, but this should have been the case in the context of the times at that time.

In Qin, after Xiao Yuan’s major blood exchange, there is no problem with the official system. Officials at all levels have clear division of labor, and there is no problem with public security and other things.

What remains are people's livelihood and economy.

In terms of people's livelihood, the cultivation of barren fields has been effective. When the autumn harvest comes next year, as long as there are no natural disasters, the people's harvest will definitely increase several times.

As for the economy, Xiao Yuan is ready to monopolize the Qin market, crack down on private salt, and control salt and iron.

The following discussions were all about some internal affairs issues. After officials at all levels expressed their opinions, Xiao Yuan was a little tired after making the decision.

He looked around for a week and said:

"I hope that our county magistrate can think about the people and improve people's lives. This requires the joint efforts of the officials from all over the Qin area..."

"We will follow the teachings of the Lord..." everyone said together.

"Okay, if nothing else, you all will return to your jurisdiction as soon as possible." Xiao Yuan waved his hand again.

"The official surrendered—"
