"I've met Mr. Lang!"

Mr. Han, the most casual and free-spirited man, saw the Lord Envoy outside Zhouli early in the morning and bowed respectfully.

The officials couldn't help but tremble when they saw it.

Immediately, his attitude towards Yang Xuan became more respectful.

Today, Yang Xuan's identity is constantly changing. It is natural to be close to the people, but the dignity that should be exercised must also be maintained.

Otherwise, over time, others will look down upon you.

"Who is going to do that in Taiping County?" Lu Qiang asked.

"Ore is the lifeblood of my Chenzhou. Wang suddenly sent a lot less, and many subsequent things cannot be arranged." Cao Ying glanced at Yang Xuan, "Lang Jun, Wang has changed his mind like this, is there anything wrong with this?

What will happen?"

"I'll go take a look."

Yang Xuan stood up and said, "Speaking of which, maybe I haven't visited Taiping in a long time, and I miss it a lot."

That's where he started, and there are many concerns.

…

Taiping is now an important commercial and taxation center in Chenzhou, which makes many officials covetous and want to work here.

But Zhen Siwen sat in the position of county magistrate and did not move.

He's just a minor official, why does your Majesty value this person so much?

Many people don't understand.

In the early morning, when it was still dark, lights were lit in the county hall.

Zhen Siwen was sitting behind the desk, reading a volume of documents in his hand, recording and calculating from time to time.

"This year's taxes must be higher than last year."

"Businessmen are cunning, and more and more people are evading taxes. We have to find a way."

"I don't know what happened to you!"

Zhen Siwen looked up and looked outside.

The sky was still numb and dark, and the morning star appeared shyly on the horizon.

"If I am not a small official, how can I manage Taiping if I am not valued by you? I don't know how to repay you for your great kindness... Only by managing Taiping well, return every grain to the warehouse, and save every penny and every grain of grain.

They were all gathered up and sent to Lin'an."

He picked up the water glass and took a sip of strong tea, then picked up a piece of cake from the plate and chewed it carefully.

"Hey! If you chew this dry pancake carefully, your mouth will be filled with the aroma of wheat. How can the big fish and meat taste like this?"

After eating a piece of cake, Zhen Siwen got up and walked in the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have been running around all over the world in the past few years, but I don't know if I have ever lost weight. Hey! I remember last time someone gave me a bezoar, saying it was a good thing that could help in emergencies. It's a pity that he was scolded by me... Otherwise, go back and gather some things at home.

I bought the bezoar with my money and presented it to the envoy."

He suddenly stopped, "I won't accept my gift, but I think you can accept my gift, right? If you don't accept it, I won't be able to kneel down... Yes, that's it!"

He sat down happily and started to work.

But then he thought about the iron ore, and he couldn't help but feel upset, and he could no longer read the documents in front of him.

"The Wang family is such a big deal! If they refuse to give it, how can we still fall out with each other?"

Zhen Siwen sighed.

It was getting brighter and the officials entered the county mansion one after another.

Seeing the lights in the lobby, everyone knew that Mingfu had arrived early again.

When it comes to diligence in political affairs, Chen Zhou ranks Zhen Siwen first.

"Mingfu."

Everyone comes in.

Zhen Siwen said: "Wang's steward is still in the city, so I invited him here."

Later, Zuo Bin, the steward who delivered the iron ore, came.

"Zhen Ming Mansion, I'm going back now."

"Boss Zuo, please take a seat." Zhen Siwen pointed to his side table.

Zuo Bin sat down.

"Serve tea!"

Zhen Siwen was very polite.

Zuo Bin also accepted it lightly, very reserved, even a little proud.

The Wang family had contact with many officials, not to mention county magistrates, even governors were just ordinary.

"The ore delivered in the past has a certain amount, but this time it is 30% less, which makes me a little surprised!"

"The Wang family is also short of ore, let's put it that way! Nowadays, the entire Tang Dynasty is short of ore."

Wang has been smelting on his own for several years, and his business has become increasingly prosperous, with demand for iron ore exceeding supply.

"It's agreed..."

We have to keep our word when we do things, right?

Zuo Bin said calmly: "The quantity of ore originally agreed upon has been several years old, and the price is almost free. Although the Wang family in Zhenming Mansion is big, the family fortune has been saved bit by bit. People should not be too greedy.

!”

I’ve given you iron ore for a few years, almost for free, and you’re still not satisfied?

Now it's just a reduction in the number, so just jump on it. Isn't that enough?

Zhen Siwen looked ugly, "Can't we discuss this matter?"

Zuo Bin smiled and said: "It was Yang Shijun who showed up in the first place, but Yang Shijun was not here..."

How can you, a county magistrate, discuss such matters with the Wang family?

"Your Majesty!"

Someone rushed in from outside.

He said ecstatically: "Mingfu, the envoy is here!"

Yang Xuan is here.

When he saw Taiping City, he heard cheers from the top of the city.

The soldiers raised their swords and guns and shouted: "The envoy is coming!"

Han Ji smiled and said: "Lang Jun has a high prestige among the Taiping Army!"

The old thief said: "Where did the Taiping Army come from in the first place? It was a death camp composed of criminals. It was trained by Lang Jun himself. If it weren't for Lang Jun, those criminals would have been dead long ago."

Han Ji nodded, "The prisoners are almost dead, which is a good thing for the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Punishment, Beijiang, and Chenzhou."

"Save food." Tu Chang thought of the days when he was imprisoned in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

About to enter the city.

Han Ji smiled and said: "I have been here before in this Taiping."

He came and went to Lin'an immediately.

At that time, he was a prisoner, but now he is an aide to the governor of Chenzhou.

I really can’t explain the fate of life!

As soon as he entered the city, Han Ji was frightened.

The last time he came, although the entire Taiping City was prosperous, it was in order.

But the city in front of me... was filled with people.

People are crowded together, and women don’t worry about being taken advantage of by men, the elderly don’t worry about having their legs broken due to crowding, and the children don’t worry about being abducted...

What did I see?

Several petty officials were also among the crowd.

Everyone has the same look.

fanaticism!

"Your Majesty!"

Amid huge cheers, Yang Xuan dismounted and slowly stepped forward.

He looked at these slowly.
To be continued...
