Li Ru could detect the trace of pride in Jiang Jiaquan's heart, as well as the indifference to himself, and couldn't help but be slightly annoyed in his heart, he was really proud, but even if you have a small achievement now, you are just cramped in this corner, how can you know the voice of Daqin's Kunpeng?

The two of them walked silently along the gallop road, the further they went, the more farmland there became, and the number of people working in the fields gradually increased, but there were mostly women, old people, children, and some adult men, but if you looked carefully, you could see that most of these adult men had minor or severe disabilities.

Looking at these people, Li Ru was slightly surprised, in his reflection, such people should be very poor, very sad, and the lowest people who are struggling to survive, but now, these people seem to be very happy, what they do is not heavy work, just to remove some weeds for the crops, and there are also some people with hoes, digging in some corners of the field, as if they are ready to plant some new crops.

"Grown men are out ready for war? Li Ru asked, he naturally knew that because of the sudden invasion of the Qi people, the Zhengdong Mansion was now facing the dilemma of having no soldiers available.

"Hmmm! Jiang Jiaquan nodded succinctly, "All those who can fight must be prepared, although they may not be able to be used, but it is always good to be prepared."

"This time you are in danger." Li Ru said lightly: "According to the information I received, Jicheng has not held out for too long, if Jicheng is taken, then Tiandan's army will rush into Langya, how can you resist it then?" ＂

"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will flood the earth. That's it." Jiang Jiaquan raised his eyebrows and said disapprerovingly: "Under the leadership of the governor, the Eastern Army has gone from more than 100 people to hundreds of thousands today, what kind of big scene have you not seen, how can you be afraid of Tiandan?" ＂

Look at each other's confident looks. Li Ru shook his head and said: "Even the Qin army will not regard the Qi army as nothing, the Eastern Army does control hundreds of thousands of troops now, but where is it now?" ＂

Jiang Jiaquan laughed, "Senior brother." Why do you care about this? ＂

"I think we can help you," Li Ru said: "If you need it, we will send an envoy to warn Tian Dan that invading the area of the Eastern Army is a provocation to the Qin State." I don't think Tian Dan dared not think about the consequences of angering Daqin."

Jiang Jiaquan looked at Li Ru with a smile, "Senior brother, we understand your kindness, but we don't need it, so it's better to leave it to us to worry about ourselves."

Jiang Jiaquan's answer seemed to have been expected by Li Ru, and he was not surprised. Just smiled faintly, "My mention yì has always been effective if you guys need it." Feel free to let us know."

"How long is Senior Brother going to stay in Jishi City? ＂

"I'm old, I rarely go out, it's rare for our brothers to get together, this time I want to stay longer, it depends on whether you want to be a brother? ＂

"Senior brother can stay as long as he wants! Jiang Jiaquan smiled: "Just take a walk." Look around, brother. In all these decades, I have never doubted that what I am insisting on is right. You go down and see what is the difference between the people under the jurisdiction of our Zhengdong Mansion and the Qin people, or it will make the senior brother touch, oh, by the way, not far from Jishi City, there is also a village where the Qin people gather, of course, they all claim to be the people under the jurisdiction of the Zhengdong Army."

Li Ru was stunned, "Oh, I really want to take a look."

"Senior brother, you said earlier that your king has listed some of the most dangerous people in the world, and you don't know that our governor is not among them? Jiang Jiaquan asked suddenly.

Li Ru suddenly became a little embarrassed, although Gao Yuan's status in the heart of King Qin Wulie has risen extremely quickly, but he is still not listed in the top few, and he is not willing to lie, so he can't help but get up for a while.

Seeing Li Ru's expression, Jiang Jiaquan naturally understood the meaning of this, and said lightly: "I think it won't take long for the name of our governor to be the first among these people."

Li Ru froze slightly, he heard the meaning of Jiang Jiaquan's words very clearly.

The conversation between the two broke up unhappily, and Li Ru returned to the post house, and he brought a large number of entourage.

In Li Ru's room, in addition to him sitting, there was another person sitting, although he was dressed as a servant, but whether it was his bearing or demeanor, it obviously did not match his identity.

"Let's talk about it, what did you find out about this day? Li Ru asked.

A middle-aged man dressed in the official uniform of the Great Qin stood up, bowed to Li Ru and another young man, and said, "The subordinates, as the subordinate officials of the Great Qin envoys, pay tribute to the many yamen of the Eastern Mansion."

"Tell me, what's the profoundness? The young man beside Li Ru leaned forward slightly, obviously interested in this topic.

"Efficiency! The middle-aged official said affirmatively: "The officials of Zhengdong Mansion are concentrated on one street, although the subordinates only went to a few of the yamen, but they also watched the flowers and saw some other yamen affairs slightly, and what shocked the subordinates was the efficiency of their work, without delay, without embarrassment, and the degree of handling of some affairs detected by the subordinates was several times that of the same yamen in our Qin State."

"How many times? The young man sat up straight in shock, in his reflection, the yamen of the Qin State had always been vigorous and resolute, could it be that the yamen officials of the Eastern Mansion were more effective than the Qin State.

"The second is discipline." The middle-aged official said: "Although our Daqin has strict iron laws, as long as we are willing to find a way and are willing to make a bid, we can still find out the news, but I have bribed a total of eighteen times in one day today, none of which succeeded, and those with a good attitude refused politely, and those with a bad attitude directly expelled their subordinates."

", and their officials, officials, and messengers have all talked, for this invasion of the Qi country. Without exception, everyone expressed disdain."

The look on the young man's face slowly became a little grim.

The middle-aged official sat down, and another man dressed in a merchant's uniform stood up under him, "My subordinate has been ordered to investigate the commercial transactions in Jishi City, where commercial activities are extremely prosperous. The goods include almost all the qiē things above this big 6, and the price is fair, all of which are clear and real, and it is found that more than sixty percent of the commercial activities here are controlled by the four seas commerce. The Four Seas Trade is a loose business alliance under the control of the Zhengdong Prefecture, and the merchants who join the merchants are all over the world, and the taxes levied by the Zhengdong Mansion on commerce and trade are heavier, twice that of our Qin State. However, the merchants did not have any dissatisfaction, and their subordinates inquired with a Qin family that although the taxes levied by the Zhengdong Mansion on them were heavier, as long as they had the proof of paying the taxes, they did not have to pay any other fees in any area under the jurisdiction of the Zhengdong Mansion, so that their actual expenses were calculated. In fact, it is lighter than the burden in our country."

"That's one thing, and that's two, but any local farmer in Jishi County comes to the city to sell anything. , There is no protection fee, and the public security situation is excellent, this Qin businessman told us that Jishi City has really done the road without leaving any stone behind. But now he spends most of the year in Jishi City, and he will only return to Qin State when he buys goods."

The young man nodded with a heavy face.

A third man stood up. "The subordinates went out of the city to explore the farmers, and the surrounding area of Jishi City. Most of them are villages composed of disabled veterans of the Eastern Army, these villages are basically built in the form of military fortresses, and the martial arts are very victorious, and each village has what they call a militia team, and now the adult men have been withdrawn, but there are martial arts arenas in the villages, and weapons such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds are blatantly placed outside, and children of school age must enter the school hall to study with their husbands, otherwise, their parents will be punished."

When the young man heard this, he couldn't help asking, "What is the life of these disabled veterans?" ＂

The third person bowed down and said: "When the disabled veterans leave the army, they will get a considerable amount of silver, and after returning home, part of the fields they own are Yongye fields obtained because of military merits, and they do not have to pay taxes, and these disabled soldiers also hold different functions, such as training children, young people's martial arts, these Zhengdong Mansion will give payment, so these people's lives are better than ordinary people."

"Children also practice martial arts? The young man asked in shock.

"Yes, the children study in the morning and practice martial arts in the afternoon."

The young man nodded, "These people are definitely the most loyal supporters of Zhengdong Mansion, have you been to any villages made up of displaced people?" ＂

"I've been there, my subordinates heard that there is a village composed of fleeing Qin people thirty miles outside Jishi City, so they went wherever they went, and their hearts are all Qin people, and they may be able to find out some of the most authentic news." He glanced at the young man with some embarrassment, "But as soon as they heard that I was an official of the Qin State, they blasted me out of the village, refusing to recognize their Qin people, and only calling themselves from Jishi County."

The young man's face showed annoyance, "? ＂

"The subordinates went to another village not far from this village, and they all had nothing, and the Zhengdong Mansion used interest-free loans to build houses for them, put ploughing cattle, farm tools, and most importantly, gave them land, and the price of these lands was also sold to them in the form of interest-free loans, and the loans have been completely repaid, and now these lands, houses, livestock, and Zhengdong Mansion will send a village chief, a retired soldier, and a literate person to serve as officials. The other administrations are no different from those of villages made up of ex-servicemen."

The young man looked at Li Ru, and now Li Ru was also looking at him, and the eyes of both of them were very solemn.

The other stood up and began to report to the two of them what they had discovered. (To be continued)
