There was nothing to say all the way. After Xiao Yuan returned to China, he began to be busy with government affairs again.

Although the rapid expansion of Qin Guodong's published pictures brought many direct benefits, the troubles it brought were also obvious.

Because the previous government orders and laws of various countries were not uniform.

In the Battle of Liang, the losses of the Qin army's officers and men were actually quite serious. After the war, all military camps and generals of each department wrote to Xiao Yuan about the conscription.

In this regard, Xiao Yuan gave certain instructions and strengthened a nationwide recruitment based on the existing recruitment.

In terms of civil and military affairs, he obviously paid more attention to the military. However, the increase in military service was undoubtedly opposed by some civilian officials.

This day, the back garden.

Xiao Yuan sat on the stone bench in the pavilion.

Liu Changqing knelt down, looking cautious.

Xiao Yuan had already seen the bamboo slips on the stone table, which were written by Liu Changqing. Although the words in the bamboo slips were respectful on the surface, there were many hidden accusations against Xiao Yuan in the descriptions.

Originally, Xiao Yuan was walking with Gu Xue today, so the latter was also here, sitting opposite Xiao Yuan, and looked at Liu Changqing with a worried look on his face.

Other ministers would not dare to talk to the king like this.

Liu Changqing is a direct minister. Although his advice is beneficial to the country, he never cares about the king's face, and has blocked Xiao Yuan's road many times. To put it bluntly, this person does not know how to use detours.

Staring at him coldly, Xiao Yuan did not let him get up, but picked up the bamboo slips and said, "What does this mean?"

"Wei Chen has stated it according to the facts and has no other intentions." Liu Changqing returned.

Xiao Yuan laughed angrily: "So, Master Liu is talking about my military dictatorship in his words?"

"I don't dare." Liu Changqing said quickly.

"Is there anything else that Liu Changqing doesn't dare to do! Well!?"

Xiao Yuan was a little angry, and pointed the bamboo slip at him angrily: "Liu Changqing, don't think that this king dare not kill you!"

He is a king, and he actually said such words. This shows that he actually feels helpless towards Liu Changqing.

After hearing this, Liu Changqing was so frightened that his head dropped.

Gu Xue moved the corners of her mouth, wanting to persuade, but she didn't dare to speak.

"Get out of here!" Xiao Yuan was still angry and threw the bamboo slip on Liu Changqing.

"Yes, yes, I am retiring..." The latter saluted quickly.

Based on his character, if he meets a wise king, if he is a little faint or likes to listen to slander, he will either be demoted or lose his head long ago.

The days passed like this, Xiao Yuan worked diligently on state affairs every day, and tried his best to further strengthen the Qin State.

A few days later, due to the problem of national grain reserves and the improvement of a series of plans, the Prime Minister's Office issued an order and began to order counties and counties to hand over this year's grain tax revenue to the national treasury as scheduled, and local government treasuries were not allowed to hide anything.

This matter has nothing to do with the people. It is purely an official issue. Taxation will remain as usual, with no changes.

Liu Yuzhi, among the prime ministers of various countries, was definitely the most overworked one. He not only had to assist the king and handle government affairs, but was also in charge of the country's people's livelihood, politics, economy, culture, and even the general dispatch of food, grass and weapons during wartime.

You can imagine how busy he must be.

But for Xiao Yuan's great cause and for the sake of Qin, he had no choice. Liu Yuzhi was the first person to truly care about the country and the people. No wonder Xiao Yuan respected him so much.

The Prime Minister's Mansion has been very busy these days.

In terms of grain taxation, if it goes down one level at a time, it will be the responsibility of the county officials, to the county magistrate, the county magistrate to the county guard, the county guard to the household department, and the household department to the prime minister's office. After Liu Yuzhi integrated it, it was confirmed that it was correct.

, and then handed it over to Xiao Yuan for review.

Each level must have official document seals and official seals of officials at all levels.

But even so, something happened.

It's now the autumn harvest, and Liangdi's first shipment of grain and grass, which is for the army and is related to wartime reserves, has almost been delivered.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Yuzhi was checking the latest official documents sent by the Ministry of Revenue.

As he watched, his brows also wrinkled.

The silk document in hand has the official seal of Zheng Shiwei, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and this official document is of great importance. To put it simply, it involves the grain production and taxation situation of all counties in Liangdi. From the prime minister down, everyone

The officials have confirmed it is correct.

But if Liu Yuzhi didn't seal it, the official document would still not be implemented.

It's like countless streams that have converged to one point. This point is Liu Yuzhi, and above it is Qin Wang Xiao Yuan.

After sealing the seal, the first batch of grain and grass incident came to a perfect end, but Liu Yuzhi took this official document and urgently asked to see Xiao Yuan.

Now Xiao Yuan has stabilized from his anxious state. He has been relaxing for the past few days and is taking a walk with his wife.

Hearing the Prime Minister's request to see him, he knew even with his eyes closed that something bad was going to happen, but he had no choice but to sigh secretly and said, "Please wait in the study, Prime Minister."

"No!" the guard took the order and left.

Zhong Duoduo, who was beside him, also showed a helpless expression and said, "Okay, the Prime Minister is here, husband, please go and do your work."

Although she wanted Xiao Yuan to spend more time with her, she also knew that it was a big deal.

Half an hour later, in the study.

Liu Yuzhi has roughly reported the problem to Xiao Yuan.

After hearing this, the latter also frowned and asked in a solemn voice: "The Prime Minister is saying that there are big problems with Liangdi's official documents and accounts this time?"

"Yes." Liu Yuzhi explained: "Thanks to the fact that after the king attacked Liang, he included all the records of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Liang. The minister had read some people's livelihood issues before, and based on the calculation, the average grain production and tax revenue in Liang was,

The amount turned over to the state treasury totaled 7 million dan, but this time, when the official document reviewed by the Ministry of Household Affairs arrived at Wei Chen, it turned out to be only 800,000 dan!"

"Even though several counties in the eastern border of Liangdi are now in the hands of Huan Guo, our country has Youzhou, Liangzhou, Yanzhou, Jinling and other large counties. The land of these four counties alone cannot be limited to these numbers. Therefore,

, Wei Chen is quite doubtful about this."

"you mean……"

"There may be a huge corruption case in Liangdi." Liu Yuzhi said directly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Is Hubu involved?"

Liu Yuzhi said truthfully: "It's hard to say that if the Ministry of Household Affairs is involved, then it is not a Liangdi problem, but a national problem."

"Don't make any noise about this matter for now." Xiao Yuan said first, then calmed down, paced back and forth in front of the table, and then said: "Now we must send a capable minister to act on my behalf.

Go to Liangdi and inspect this matter. In the opinion of the Prime Minister, who can be appointed?"
