Chapter 5 Reporting
On the third day, Lord Xia went out happily and came back happily, and he came back early in the morning. Looking at the way he looks like the spring breeze is on his face, you know that everything is going well.
"Daddy, it's all settled"
"He didn't ask us to write any more crimes, this is a turning point. Well...... Let's start talking about work. Speaking of work, who knows more about this Yizhou than me......? Hehe, don't you ask me to write a report on the past? "That pride and triumph felt like he was already floating.
"Hahaha, Daddy is the best"
On the fourth day, Daddy Xia went out happily, and then he didn't come back on time that day...
He presented the summary of the eight major congresses that had taken less than an hour last night to Lord Wang. Thin four pages!
Wang Jingxing swept his eyes slightly, and then finished reading the general matter, he had no expression or comment, and only told Wu An to pass the report to his colleagues below to see.
It seems that the warning did not work, Lord Wang thought coldly.
From the first one, some only looked at it roughly, some of them read carefully for more than half an hour, and after two hours, the hall was quiet, only the sound of paper rubbing, and the air seemed a little oppressive.
"I've read it all", Lord Wang spoke unhurriedly, "What do you think of Lord Xia's Eight Minutes?
Clear-eyed people can see that Xia Baisong is guarding Yanwang County, so he picked up a few crude things plainly, and there are no highlights in writing it, and it doesn't have much reference value.
There was silence below, and no one spoke. Wang Jingxing also took a good time and drank tea leisurely. As time passed, the people below were a little panicked, of course, the most panicked was Xia Baisong.
Wang Jingxing is not very old, but he has his own momentum, which is shocking and inexplicably stressful.
After a long time, he finally stood up and prepared to speak, it was Li Changqing, an official of the household. He was sincerely afraid, first flattered and boasted about Lord Wang, and then said that Lord Xia's report was detailed and comprehensive, condensed the results of the development of Shuzhong over the years, and expressed his approval and affirmation.
Lord Wang nodded, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does Li Hufang have anything to add to the content inside?"
"Back to my lord, no. ”
Lord Wang knew in his heart that Li Hufang was either standing in line with Lord Xia. Either an idle official who doesn't know anything, and the former is more likely.
One person took the lead in speaking, and the next people had the courage, and the rest of the wavering households stood up one after another, followed by some words that were biased towards supporting Lord Xia.
Forming gangs, taking sides obviously, the situation is unfavorable!
Half of them did not speak. Lord Wang looked at these people who were wise enough to protect their lives, and asked them with his eyes, what else do you have to say?
Only a young and vigorous person stepped forward, and the young man did not have any official position now, helping Li Hufang to do something: "Lord Hui, I don't know about other things, but in terms of agriculture, the income in the past few years has been that rice production has increased year by year. Taxes have also increased, but our population has increased even more, and people may not have as much food as they used to. ”
"What's your name?"
"Back to my lord, humble Nie Ming'er"
Then, no one else spoke.
Unexpectedly, it is reasonable that Lord Wang is calm and not angry.
He took another sip of tea and spoke slowly:
"The emperor's grace is vast, he sent me to Shu, and I am also grateful, and I am bound to seek the welfare of the people. As soon as I received the decree of appointment, the Governor mentioned Lord Xia to me and was full of praise for him! In the days when the county guard was absent, you have always been both the prefect and the county guard, and you have been in charge of the overall situation, which is really hard. ”
He paused, and continued: "Your Excellency the Governor also said that I am young and want to ask you for more advice and learning, you have a strong ability to work, and you always focus on the overall situation. ”
Lord Xia nodded confidently and smiled in agreement.
Lord Wang continued to say unhurriedly, "Then ask Lord Xia, how many merchants from the Western Regions come here to trade goods and how much is the transaction amount in Shuzhong every year, how much is the tax on the transaction, how many special products in Shuzhong are brought out? The number of people in Quanyizhou who has increased in the past three years, and the ratio of men and women, can you know in your heart. Do you know the specific output, harvest and price of various grains in Yizhou in recent years. Is the southwestern barbarian and our eastern friendship still smooth? How can we control the waterways and transportation in all directions? The border with Shaanxi and Gansu and other places is complicated, and the troops have been led to suppress the banditry and rebellion?.........
One question after another was like a hammer hammer hammering straight into Xia Baisong's heart.
Listening to it, I became more and more shocked, more and more frightened. With a series of questions that Lord Wang flattened and straightforwardly stated. Lord Xia and everyone here broke out in a cold sweat on their backs, becoming more and more nervous and nervous, and finally couldn't sit still!
