Chapter 899 The real minister
The commander of Huanzhou was the chief executive of Huanzhou affairs and a real chief official.
The county magistrate also had to claim to be a subordinate official in front of him.
There is no doubt that Xiao Yuan would take his anger at Zhang Gongyou in Lianzhou.
But before he could go to Huanzhou, the day after the incident, news came that Zhang Gongyou had arrived in Lianzhou and reported to him for a visit.
When the Lianzhou incident occurred, Zhang Gongyou’s news was no matter how well-informed it was, it was impossible for him to know it immediately. Judging from the time, he should have set off from Huanzhou a few days ago.
After hearing the report, Xiao Yuanyu put down the brush in his hand in the study room of the county government, and while sorting out the bamboo slips, he also casually said: "Let him come in."
"No." Xu Hu politely retreated.
After he went out, when he saw Zhang Gongyou, he moved his mouth because he had a good impression of this civil servant and couldn't help but remind him: "Mr. Zhang, the king was angry the previous one, you must be careful."
"This, thank you for your reminder, General." Zhang Gongyou felt nervous, and quickly adjusted his mentality, and then walked into the study.
When he came in, he naturally knelt down and saluted.
Xiao Yuan was still tidying up some bamboo slips behind the table, and said without raising his head, "Get up and talk."
Although his tone was very plain, no one could hear the dissatisfaction in his words.
"Yes." Zhang Gongyou responded first, then got up, and bowed slightly and said, "I seem to be angry when I see my king. In fact, I am also very angry in my heart."
"Anger?" Xiao Yuan was angry, and he paused to sort out Zhu Jian's movements, and looked up at him lukewarmly.
Zhang Gongyou no longer talked nonsense, but directly pulled out the bamboo slips from his sleeves, placed them respectfully on the table with both hands, and said, "This is a false report by officials in Huandi. It has been verified. Please make a decision."
"What?" Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then picked up the bamboo slips and opened them for a quick glance.
The bamboo slips explain all the issues in detail, and of course, there are also names of the county magistrates of Lianzhou.
In other words, Zhang Gongyou did not turn a blind eye, and the latter immediately explained: "Huan Di was invaded by the ghost clan, and was later entrusted and levyed by King Huan. In a short period of time, it is impossible for the people to live a prosperous life, but under the command of the king, it is impossible for the king to live a prosperous life.
, many officials think this is a great opportunity to commend political achievements, and therefore, they are cheating."
"And these things need to be verified. Since they are verified, they will inevitably take time."
"I have long noticed the problems of people's livelihood and even the management of officials. I just need to organize official documents and submit them to the court. But I heard that the king had arrived in Huandi himself, so I turned to Lianzhou."
"In other words, you just prepared this bamboo slip to the court?" Xiao Yuan raised the bamboo slip in his hand.
"That's right, the king is clear." Zhang Gongyou said concisely.
Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and could no longer blame Zhang Gongyou.
Because Zhang Gongyou moved from Huanzhou a few days ago, he prepared these things before the Tao Xingde incident and did not have any speculation.
To put it simply, he had investigated the matter and wanted to report it to Xiao Yuan, but when he arrived, something went wrong with Shijia Village.
What else can Xiao Yuan say?
After pausing, he put away the bamboo slips and reached out to his hands, saying, "Sir Zhang, don't stand and talk, sit."
"I dare not." Zhang Gongyou said seriously: "This situation occurs in Huandi, and I will not be able to escape his responsibility. If the king wants to sue him, I will not have any complaints in my heart."
"Okay, Gongyou." Xiao Yuan's anger obviously faded and said, "You can't blame you. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, such as Tao Xingde, who for the sake of so-called political achievements, make superficial articles and ignore the lives and deaths of the people.
It's really even more hateful than corrupt officials! After verification, all such officials will be dismissed and investigated and will not be hired!"
"I agree with the king's decision." Zhang Gongyou said: "There are many officials in Huan Land, including the gentry of Huan Country before, and the king can take this opportunity to clean up the officialdom and select talents."
To run an official, although it is just a matter of a king, it must have a name so that people can become more and more obedient.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but be happy when he heard this: "Gongyou, this is probably the biggest suggestion you want to bring to me during this trip, right?"
"This." Zhang Gongyou laughed dryly and said truthfully: "I dare not hide it from the king. The current officials of Huandi are actually not suitable for governing the local area. They do not agree with Qin's politics in their hearts, so they will never
He will treat the people well. If he doesn't change his blood once, it will be difficult for me to be the commander of Huanzhou."
"To be honest, the king trusts me so much. Since I was appointed, I saw that Huan was in a situation that I couldn't sleep or eat, and I was afraid that I would have to bear the king's trust."
This is what he said in his heart.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan was also very touched and couldn't help but sigh: "Gongyou, you are not only a pillar of my Qin State, but also the reliance of my king for governing Huan. You have to take on this burden."
"The great king is so kind that I have no way to repay you. I must be diligent and keep this level for the king." Zhang Gongyou returned seriously.
"Okay, I'm relieved if you say this." Xiao Yuan nodded with satisfaction and asked casually: "What are you planning for Huandi's next restoration of people's livelihood?"
Zhang Gongyou thought about it and said, "This, I am about to ask Wang Ting for advice. According to the current situation, there are many poor towns and counties in Huandi. The degree of poverty is not an economic embarrassment, but arriving.
If we pull weeds to feed, we are even less able to farm. If we want to restore vitality, the first thing we have to do is to let the people have a harvest of land. Only with this foundation can the people be able to have a full stomach, can they have a way out."
"Tell me specifically." Xiao Yuan asked directly.
"For example, after the ghost tribe occupied Lianzhou, chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and other livestock were cooked and killed, and there were no plowing oxen available. Even if the people had land, how could they cultivate it? This problem needs to be solved by the government.
"Zhang Gongyou said: "Because, the Wei minister decided to use the official silver left by the king in Huanzhou to restore farming in the spring. At the same time, solve some food and accommodation problems, help the people overcome the current difficulties first, and wait for the autumn harvest next year
, As long as it is not a natural disaster, the people will have food..."
"Of course, the treasury before Huan Kingdom was not sufficient, only a few million taels of silver. This amount was not enough to provide relief to the entire Huan territory. The ministers also had to request funds from the king."
"Okay, I'm sure. You have prepared a document and submitted it to the court. As long as it can benefit Huandi, you can restore life." Xiao Yuan did not hesitate too much.
Now it seems that the annexation of Huan Kingdom seems to have left a mess and have to pay for it themselves, but these are only temporary. As long as vitality is restored, with a vast territory, national strength will soar.
