There was nothing to say all the way, and after Xiao Yuan returned to China, he started busy government affairs again.

Although the rapid expansion of Qin Guodong's published maps brought many direct benefits, the troubles it brought were also obvious.

Because the decrees and decrees of the nations were not uniform before.

After the end of the war, the generals of all military camps and departments also wrote to Xiao Yuan about conscription.

In this regard, Xiao Yuan made certain instructions and strengthened a national conscription on the basis of the existing recruitment.

In terms of civil and military affairs, he obviously paid more attention to military affairs, but in this way, the increase in military service was undoubtedly opposed by some civilian officials.

This day, back garden.

Xiao Yuan sat on a stone bench in the pavilion.

Liu Changqing knelt underneath with a cautious look.

The bamboo slips on the stone table, Xiao Yuan has already seen it, it is Liu Changqing who plays, in the bamboo slips, although the words are respectful on the surface, but between the narratives, there are many obscure accusations against Xiao Yuan.

Originally, Xiao Yuan was walking with Gu Xue today, so the latter was also here, sitting opposite Xiao Yuan, and he looked at Liu Changqing with a worried face.

Other courtiers didn't dare to talk to the king like this.

Liu Changqing is a direct minister, although his advice is more beneficial to the society, but he never cares about the face of the king, and there are many cases of blocking Xiao Yuanlu, to put it bluntly, this person does not know how to detour.

Staring at him coldly, Xiao Yuan didn't let him get up, but picked up the bamboo slip and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Weichen is based on the facts, and has no other intentions." Liu Changqing returned.

Xiao Yuan laughed angrily: "In this way, in Lord Liu's words, he is talking about the military dictatorship of this king?" ”

"I don't dare." Liu Changqing hurriedly said.

"What else do you Liu Changqing dare not do! Kindness!? ”

Xiao Yuan was a little angry, and even more angrily pointed at him with a bamboo slip: "Liu Changqing, don't think that this king won't dare to kill you!" ”

He is a king, and he actually said such a thing, which shows that he actually has a helplessness towards Liu Changqing.

Hearing this, Liu Changqing was also frightened.

Gu Xue moved the corners of her mouth, wanting to persuade, but she didn't dare to speak.

"Get out of here!" Xiao Yuan's anger continued unabated, and he threw the bamboo slip on Liu Changqing.

"Yes, yes, Wechen retired...... the latter hurriedly saluted.

With his character, he met Mingjun, but if he was a little faint, or who liked to listen to slander, he was either degraded or lost his head early.

The days passed like this, Xiao Yuan was diligent in state affairs every day, and he was trying his best to further strengthen the Qin State.

A few days later, due to the problem of the state's grain reserves and the improvement of a series of programs, the Prime Minister's Office issued an order and began to order all counties and counties to hand over this year's grain tax revenue to the state treasury as scheduled, and the local government treasury must not hide its own secrets.

This matter, which has nothing to do with the common people, is a matter of pure officialdom, and the taxes are still the same as usual, there is no change.

Liu Yuzhi, among the prime ministers of the world, is definitely the most tired one, he not only has to assist the king, handle government affairs, but also be in charge of the people's livelihood, politics, economy, culture, and even the general dispatch of grain, grass and ordnance in wartime.

You can imagine how busy he must be.

But for the sake of Xiao Yuan's great cause, for the sake of the Qin State, he has no choice, Liu Yuzhi is also the first person who really cares about the country and the people, no wonder Xiao Yuan respects him so much.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, these days are very busy.

In terms of grain taxation, if it goes down layer by layer, it is the responsibility of the county officials, to the county order, the county order to the county guard, the county guard to the household department, and the household department to the prime minister's mansion.

Each layer must have official seals, as well as official seals of officials at all levels.

But even so, something happened.

Now that the autumn harvest has arrived, the first batch of grain and grass escort in Liangdi is for the use of the army, and it is related to wartime reserves, and it has almost been handed over.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Yuzhi was checking the latest official document sent by the Ministry of Households.

Looking at it, his brow furrowed.

The silk book in his hand already has the official seal of Zheng Shiwei, the head of the household department, and this official document is very important, to put it simply, he is involved in the grain production and taxation of all the counties in Liangdi, since the prime minister and below, all the officials have confirmed that it is correct.

But if Liu Yuzhi doesn't seal it, then this official document still can't be implemented.

This is like countless streams, which have converged to a point, this point is Liu Yuzhi, and above it, is Xiao Yuan, the king of Qin.

As soon as the seal was sealed, the first batch of grain and grass incidents ended perfectly, but Liu Yuzhi took this official document and urgently asked to see Xiao Yuan.

Now Xiao Yuan has stabilized from his anxious state, and he is just taking a walk with his daughter-in-law these days.

Hearing that the prime minister asked to see him, he closed his eyes and knew that there must be no good thing, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only sigh secretly and said, "Please wait in the study." ”

"No!" The guards took the order and left.

Zhong Duoduo beside him also showed a helpless expression and said, "Okay, the prime minister is here, husband and go get busy." ”

Although she really wanted Xiao Yuan to accompany her more, she also knew that things were big and small.

Half an hour later, in the study.

Liu Yuzhi had already roughly reported the problem to Xiao Yuan.

After the latter listened, he also frowned, and asked in a condensed voice: "Did the prime minister say that there was a big problem with the official documents and accounts of Liangdi this time?" ”

"Yes." Liu Yuzhi explained: "This is also thanks to the fact that after the king attacked Liang, all the books of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Liangguo were included, and Weichen had read some people's livelihood issues before, and the average grain tax in Liangdi and the number of taxes handed over to the treasury were all seven million stones, but this time, the official document reviewed by the household department was only 800,000 stone when it came to Weichen!" ”

"Even if the current number of counties in the eastern border of Liangdi are in the hands of Huan Guo, but my country has Youzhou, Liangzhou, Yanzhou, Jinling and other large counties, and it is impossible to only have these numbers with these four counties alone, so Weichen is quite suspicious of this."

"What do you mean......"

"Cool land, there may be a huge corruption case." Liu Yuzhi said directly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Is the household department involved?" ”

Liu Yuzhi said truthfully: "It's hard to say, if it involves the household department, it is not a cool land problem, but a national problem." ”

"Don't make a noise about this matter yet." Xiao Yuan said a word first, then calmed down, paced back and forth in front of the table for a few steps, and said: "Now we must send a powerful minister to go to the cool land on behalf of the king to inspect this matter, in the opinion of the prime minister, who can be appointed." ”

Liu Yuzhi thought for a while and said: "Officials who can handle this case must have a clean breeze on their sleeves, only admit death, be upright, and not be afraid of power......
