Liu Bowen came to Jinling, but Yang Ye was very happy.

Dugusheng also has a continuous task of fooling Li Chongjin to build a big Shanghai, so he can't always stay in Jinling, and he has to follow Li Chongjin most of the time, so that he can flicker nearby, and the effect of flickering will be better.

In Guo Zongxun's words, it is necessary to completely fool Li Chongjin into foolishness, and let him concentrate on building Shanghai, a super city that has never been seen before, in order to leave a name in history.

"Governor Liu, it's great that you can come to Jinling, I'm almost sad to death these days."

Yang Ye held Liu Bowen's hand tightly, and said that he didn't let go, as if he was afraid that Liu Bowen would run away.

"General Yang, we are all working for Your Majesty, there is really no need to be so polite, now Liu and the general are both literate and martial, which can be regarded as complementing each other, and I will ask General Yang to cooperate more in the future."

"Governor Liu, you are serious, from now on, the lower officials will only be the head of Governor Liu, and everything will obey Governor Liu's orders."

Yang Ye was telling the truth, he really wished that someone would hurry up to replace him as the envoy of Jinling Town.

Dugusheng gave Yang Ye an idea, asking him to hand over the local government affairs to his civil officials to manage, and if he can't do it well, he will clean it up directly without asking the reason, this simple and crude method is actually very effective sometimes.

Yang Ye is a northern man, with an upright and stubborn personality and a hot temper, so it is said that there should be no problem in dealing with these civil officials in Jiangnan in this simple and crude way.

It's just that Yang Yeyang is short and avoids his strengths, but he doesn't need the method that Dugusheng told him, he actually wants to reason with the officials in the south.

Compared with the civil officials in the south of the Yangtze River, even compared with the civil officials in the north, ten Yang Ye is not one.

This is also Guo Zongxun saw that Yang Ye really didn't dare to establish power in Jiangnan because of his lack of confidence, so he sent Liu Bowen over.

"General Yang, let's start working now, you want to invite me to drink tonight, which can be regarded as a pick-up for me."

Yang Yexin said, how capable are you Liu Bowen, it's already noon now, and you can handle a bunch of official business in the afternoon?

If you can handle it, let alone invite you to drink, you can just go to the flower boat on the Qinhuai River to listen to the music.

"I don't know where Liu Dudu is going to work?"

"The Governor's Mansion doesn't have to be built, Your Majesty put forward the strategy of strengthening the army and streamlining the administration, we must follow it, it is better to divide the town guard embassy into two, the Governor's Mansion opens the east gate, and the town guard embassy opens the west gate, and works together, so that you and I can also communicate conveniently."

Divide the town guard embassy into two, and open the east and west gates, which is also a loss to Liu Bowen to come out.

In fact, this is Liu Bowen's intention, Guo Zongxun said that he wanted to strengthen the army and streamline the government, but it was not so shabby that the governor of Jiangnan could not even build a governor's palace.

Liu Bowen This is to mention Yang Ye nearby, he came to Jiangnan, mainly to deal with Wolong and Tsukasa Hu under Zhao Kuangyin.

In this land south of the Yangtze River, Liu Bowen will have to leave sooner or later, he is the chief military advisor beside His Majesty, and it is the world that assists His Majesty from a bird's eye view, Jiangnan ...... It's too small......

Liu Bowen proposed to start working immediately to deal with the government affairs that had accumulated before, and Yang Ye simply gave up the main hall of the Governor's Mansion first and used it as a temporary place for the governor of Jiangnan.

"The Governor of Bendu came to Jinling, presumably the local officials of all sizes have received the news, and there should be a lot of officials waiting outside the palace, so start with them, please ask General Yang to call them in one by one, in addition, send people to inform those officials who have not arrived, they will not come to greet the Governor of Bentu, the Governor of Bendu is very angry, and let them all come to the town guard embassy immediately, wait at the door, and wait for the summons of the Governor of Bendu."

Yang Ye scratched his head, how can this Liu Bowen act like a military general, it is very arrogant and unreasonable.

When Yang Ye went out to make arrangements, and then returned to the main hall, there were already officials answering Liu Bowen's question.

"Zhang Chao, you are in charge of the Jinling salt industry, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been recovering Jinling for many days, why is the sale of illicit salt in the market still so rampant and so blatant?"

"The lower official told my lord, this is the tradition of my Jiangnan land, I have a lot of rich families in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many people who specialize in opening salt farms, don't hide it from your lordship, that is, the government needs salt, and it is all to buy from these salt merchants."

Yang Ye nodded on the side, this has always been the tradition in Jiangnan, there are indeed many rich families in Jiangnan, and they are all big and thick-legged, deep-rooted, let's not forcibly expropriate their salt farms.

"According to what you say, the salt industry in the south of the Yangtze River is completely controlled by private salt merchants, is it also their final say on the price of salt?"

"Back to my lord's words, it is exactly like this, several major salt merchants in Jinling City get together regularly, and as soon as a few people sum up, the price of salt on the market will be set, what a coincidence, today is the day when they gather to set the price of salt."

Liu Bowen asked this, stopped asking, turned his head to Yang Ye and said:

"General Yang, please send a thousand soldiers, led by the captain, to follow Master Zhang to the places where these salt merchants gather, arrest all the participating salt merchants, and put them all in prison."

Yang Ye was dumbfounded when he heard this, what kind of operation is this, come up and arrest people?

And it is to catch a few unarmed salt merchants, even if they bring an entourage of guards, it is enough to deal with one or two hundred soldiers.

Send a thousand men to ......

Could it be that Liu Dudu deliberately wanted to make a big move, and the first fire of the new official was ready to burn the salt merchants?

Yang Ye is not stupid, he is actually quite smart, the reason why he is a little shrunken after coming to Jinling is mainly because he has never had experience in governing places, and he is afraid of arousing a strong backlash from the local wealthy families in Jinling.

Once an uncontrollable situation is created, the final blame will definitely be on Yang Ye's head, presumably His Majesty the Emperor will be disappointed in him, even if he is not punished heavily, I am afraid that he will not be reused in the future.

As soon as Liu Bowen came, he first started from Jiangnan Salt Industry, which was something that Yang Ye wanted to do but did not dare to do.

Why does Liu Bowen have such courage, there must be His Majesty the Emperor to support him, he is not afraid, what am I Yang Ye afraid of.

Thinking of this, Yang Ye puffed up his chest, hugged his fist at Liu Bowen and said:

"The subordinate obeys."

Then, Yang Ye turned his head and said to Zhang Chao with a cold face:

"Lord Zhang, please."

Zhang Chao, who is in charge of Jinling Salt Industry, was one of the officials who gave Yang Ye the most headache before, and today Yang Ye can be regarded as seizing the opportunity.

"Your Excellency the Governor, you must not, if these salt merchants are arrested, it will inevitably cause chaos in the salt industry in Jinling and even along the Yangtze River, which is a great sin that damages the society of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Zhang Chao was also stunned, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly.

Liu Bowen was silent, looked at Zhang Chao, who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Yang Ye.

If Yang Ye can't even understand this, then he doesn't have to mess around.

"Lord Zhang, the first order that the Governor came to Jinling and gave him, how many heads do you have, and you dare to stop it? You'd better come with me......"

After speaking, Yang Ye walked over, grabbed Zhang Chao's back of the neck collar, directly lifted Zhang Chao up, turned around and walked out.

Liu Bowen twisted his beard under his chin and nodded, this Yang Ye is really not stupid, and he is still very good at doing things.

"General Yang, when you go out, summon the next official to come in......"
