The floor heating made him lazy, lying on the couch, and Zhang Xiaowu soon fell asleep. His question made Wang Yijin difficult to answer, after all, Wang Yijin had never been an official in the imperial court, but if he asked Shi Chong, Shi Chong would definitely tell him that the changes he brought to the imperial court were too great.

In the past year, the central institution of the Holy Han Empire can be said to be changing with each passing day, and what makes everyone feel the most is that politics is more clear, although there are still buying and selling officials and accepting bribes, but after Zhang Kuan's resignation, Zhang Kuan's son Zhang Biao committed suicide, the biggest moth in the imperial court is gone, and then, some of Zhang Kuan's loyal henchmen, especially officials over 50 years old, have been transferred from important positions by Zhang Xiaowu one after another, and first put them in an idle position to be an official with a job but no business, Subsequently, Jin Yiwei secretly investigated the extent of his corruption and finally decided whether to pursue it.

Zhang Party officials resigned one after another and returned to their hometowns to retire, and Zhang Xiaowu did not pursue the old Zhang Party ministers who took the initiative to resign, he used a large number of young officials, and promoted many capable but unimportant officials. This includes Ma Huayun, the owner of Xile Fang, who is now transferred to Hunzhou and serves as the prefect of Hunzhou Datong Prefecture, although Ma Huayun can't make any money, but the corresponding power is also great. The owner is just at the same level as the county order, but the prefect is two levels older than the county order, so it can be said that the Ma family is all grateful to Zhang Xiaowu.

Zhang Xiaowu promoted Ma Huayun because he could make money, benefit the local people, and get rich, not because he knew how to embezzle. Even if he understands corruption, as long as he can make the people rich while he is rich, then he is a good official. Therefore, Zhang Xiaowu also promoted many officials who knew how to trade and trade, and even directly appointed some businessmen as officials to assist the local county magistrates in governing the county.

In addition to encouraging commerce and trade, Zhang Xiaowu has also abolished many unreasonable taxes this year, making the burden on the people lighter. After serving as the central commander, he was very cautious about the decrees, lest someone take advantage of the loopholes and use the policies of the imperial court for personal gain, but even if he was cautious, he would inevitably be used. Zhang Xiaowu did not expect to change the minds of officials all at once, but he thought to himself that he was young, and if he was given ten or twenty years, he would definitely be able to make Shenghan rich and strong again.

At the beginning of this year, although he suspended the reform of the tax law facing the gentry, he secretly demanded that the gentry not compete with the state for tenants, otherwise he would force the reform of the tax law, and then reached an agreement with the gentry to regain land and increase the country's cultivated land by 20%. In just one year, the country's land has increased by 20%, and this is where his confidence lies.

Both inside and outside the court, there was a lot of appreciation for this young central commander, and everyone believed that Zhang Xiaowu was a natural reformer, and the Shenghan Zhongxing is today.

Zhang Xiaowu walked on the grassland, and in the distance was the rushing Jialan River, the river rumbling, and the warm sun shining on his face. In the distance, the figure of a woman gradually became clear, Zhang Xiaowu looked carefully and found that the woman was Jiu'er. He ran to Jiu'er excitedly, but found that no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't catch up with him.

He shouted anxiously: "Jiu'er, Jiu'er, you wait for me." ”

Jiu'er stopped and said, "Don't chase after me, I'm leaving." ”

He hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Jiu'er said, "Get out of your world." ”

He rushed over in a hurry, grabbed Jiu'er's hand, and shouted, "You can't go." Jiu'er turned his head, he was taken aback, it turned out that this person was not Jiu'er, it was Ye Shishi, Ye Shishi asked playfully: "I didn't expect it, it's me." ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked, "What about Jiu'er?" ”

"What Jiu'er, who is Jiu'er?"

"My wife."

"Ha, you were married? You lied to me! You lied to me! ”

Zhang Xiaowu was speechless, he lowered his head and said, "You didn't ask me." ”

Ye Shishi said: "From now on, I don't want to see you again." ”

Zhang Xiaowu lowered his head and turned around, facing her facelessly, but he was suddenly hugged from behind, and he hurriedly said: "You are the concubine of the Ye family, even if you are a concubine, it is impossible to be a concubine for me, you can go." ”

"I'm willing to be your concubine." She said.

Zhang Xiaowu turned around, but was surprised to find that the person holding him was Tang Guifei. He hurriedly said, "You don't-mother, you can't do this." However, before he could finish speaking, Tang Guifei suddenly turned into a giant python and entangled him tightly, making him unable to breathe.

"Roar!"

Zhang Xiaowu immediately woke up from his dream and found that he was sweating. Looking at the hour, it should still be noon, and he shouted, "One catty, come in." Wang Yijin walked in and asked, "How long have I been asleep?" Wang Yijin said: "It's just a quarter of an hour, my lord, you have a good rest." ”

"A quarter of an hour?"

"No, more than half an hour."

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head, feeling some discomfort in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. Thinking about it, he could only think of Tang Guifei and the giant python, Tang Guifei turned into a giant python and entangled himself, could it be that he had any dirty thoughts about Tang Guifei, this is absolutely impossible, the relationship between him and Tang Guifei is innocent, but it is a relationship of mutual use.

But the giant python made it impossible to breathe, what did it mean?

It's not uncomfortable to hold this sullen breath in my heart, but it doesn't have to be so for the sake of a dream. He moved his muscles, put on his clothes, beckoned Wang Yijin to take a walk out of the imperial city, and continued to pay a private visit.

Wang Yijin smiled and said that adults like to pay private interviews with micro-servers recently, is it because of Miss Ye, it is estimated that Miss Ye is the queen's cousin or something, my lord, you married her, won't you be the emperor's brother-in-law in the future?

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Miss Ye and I are innocent, what nonsense is there." ”

"My lord, do you want to go to the Guirenfang?"

"Don't."

"Oh."

"Don't go out of your way."

"Okay."

The two of them left the imperial city with their escorts and walked aimlessly along the street where there were many people and many who were engaged in small businesses. Passing by a fortune-telling booth, the man pointed to Zhang Xiaowu and said, "A great omen, a great omen!" This guest officer, I see that your Yin Hall is black, and the passing year is not good, so things must have been bad recently, right? ”

Wang Yijin was so angry that he stepped forward to kick over the fortune-telling stall and let him talk nonsense, but Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand, he walked straight over and went to sit in front of the Xiangshi, the Xiangshi looked at him and his men, had a plan in his heart, and smiled slightly.

Zhang Xiaowu was very concerned, and said with a smile: "I've been going well recently, but you curse me, if I can't say why, I'm afraid I'm going to demolish your stall." ”

Wang Yijin said: "I'm going to dismantle your bones." ”
