The secret war in Huazhou is in full swing, but the skin has not been torn yet, everyone has to drink the wine, and how to act in the play. It's just that some people think that they are still the protagonist, and the whole stage is his, but they don't know that the script has been changed by the supporting roles, and the ending of the big reversal is set. But it's okay to do this, everyone is happy to have fun, so as not to fist and kick each other.

"Your Highness, the thing has arrived!"

"Okay, put it here, go down!" Zhao Yu, who had just finished reviewing a few official documents and was about to take a sip of tea, saw that he was a scribe of the Secretariat Bureau, and knew that the latest information had been delivered, so he nodded.

"Hmph, let's have your spring and autumn dreams!" Zhao Yu flipped out the report on Huazhou, stretched his waist and said with a smile. Everything in Huazhou is going according to plan, if there are no major changes, the dust will settle when the messenger sent by the imperial court arrives, and he doesn't need to bother more.

Putting aside the report of the secretariat, Zhao Hao saw that there were still many unapproved official documents on the case, and he could only resist the urge to burn them to the ground and bury them again. However, these official documents seem to be much easier than in the past, of course, this is not how much more knowledgeable he is, but these official documents are mostly from the hands of newly recruited officials, which are less jerky and difficult to understand in the past, and there is no useless and empty nonsense, and the writing is also clear and extremely concise, so that people can see at a glance what is stated, so that Zhao Yu, who has been failing in ancient texts, is relieved, and he no longer has to guess while reading.

In addition to being gratified, Zhao Yu also realized that in the future, in the election of officials, they must not give officials to those who are holding up to the top of the jinshi and raising people, and they must be given basic training for a few years. Of course, he doesn't have an opinion on the scholars, but in fact, these nerds who read the Four Books and the Five Classics, are not diligent, do not distinguish between grains, and the world is all blank. Therefore, even if these people are awarded officials, it is difficult for them to be qualified for the arranged positions in a short time, but what Zhao Yu needs now is a skilled person who can enter the role as soon as possible, and there is no time to train interns.

They all started from the grassroots level, worked hard at the bottom for many years, were familiar with the functions of the job, clearly distinguished the wrongs of personnel, had outstanding political ability, and could quickly familiarize themselves with their positions and carry out their work immediately, which was far from being comparable to the white-faced scholars educated by the Confucian classics. Now with the participation of these people, the advantages have been revealed, the recruitment work that was difficult to promote in the past has been carried out smoothly, and the opinion of the Shuai Mansion has also changed greatly, at least the hostile attitude is no longer adopted.

Of course, Zhao Yu didn't believe that the Shuai Mansion had made these people awaken in just a dozen days, turning them into loyal and patriotic righteous men one by one, and turned their allegiance to himself. In fact, he believes in a saying that dignity and hunger cannot get along amicably, and that the will of a person can be controlled by controlling his salary. This is also the law of survival, and it is also the iron rule of society.

A person does not have independent economic rights, let alone independent political rights, even if he can't hold his head up in front of his wife, he is ridiculed for eating soft rice. Therefore, only with a stable economic income can we have an independent personality and a complete will. If you are not financially independent and rely on food to eat, it is difficult to keep morally in the first place. Once an individual loses his or her independent personality, his mind will obey his or her core figures, and he will do things that do not care about right and wrong, and the party will not be able to develop a sense of loyalty at all.

Now that Zhao Yu has given them the needs to live a decent life, so that they no longer have to rely on blackmail and blackmail the people, and deceive the officials to cheat some money to get food and clothing, then the moral standard will also rise, and no one will do those things that hurt nature and reason, after all, is human nature good in the first place! This is also in line with what Guan Zhong said: when the granary is full, you know etiquette; If you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace......

Thinking of money, Zhao Hao was worried. At least half of the official documents in front of him are asking for money, and almost all of them have been worrying about money since he came to this era. It is said that now he has a little savings, but he has never felt that this money is his own, he has always been left hand in and right hand out, he is a passing god of wealth. In the past, Zhao Yu thought that as long as he had land, he would be able to collect taxes, and if he had a fixed income, he would be able to raise soldiers. And with soldiers, you can lay more territory, get more income, and raise more soldiers, so as to achieve a virtuous circle, snowballing and gradually growing.

But when Zhao Yu finally won a piece of land, he found that the income in Qiongzhou not only couldn't support him, but he also had to fill the hole with money, and he didn't know how long it would take to fill this money-absorbing black hole. He is also responsible for causing such catastrophic consequences, mainly because when he chose Qiongzhou in the first place, he was mainly out of military considerations, and he did not have a deep understanding of the economic situation and underestimated the difficulties. But he also felt that it couldn't be all up to him.

Qiongzhou is poor, Zhao Yu has already thought of it, so he has to risk fighting Guangzhou to raise money, and he has also raised enough for the army of the Shuai Mansion to last for two years, but the actual situation is much worse. First of all, the infrastructure here is simply not enough to withstand the nearly 100,000 troops of the Shuaifu army, and the coastal defense project is almost zero, so everything has to be started from scratch; Secondly, Qiongzhou is not only unable to be self-sufficient in grain production, but also difficult to cope with fiscal expenditures due to tax revenue, let alone asking for money from them, so everything depends on the marshal itself; Moreover, the local area of Qiongzhou has been eroded to the point of being out of control, and the marshal's government cannot carry out its work, and the stability of the rear is inseparable from the cooperation of local officials, which must rebuild the bureaucratic system and build post roads, but this also requires financial support.

Now that the Shuai Mansion has arrived in Qiongzhou, it is equivalent to getting a piece of white land, everything needs to be reorganized and rebuilt, and the money will be spent after it is spent, at least there is something real to see. And some unforeseen expenses are still a lot, let's just say that Jiang Xuan made a scene, not to mention military expenditures, casualties and pensions, the places he occupied these three states are also too poor to be exposed, and it is estimated that it is also a business of discounting money. In addition, there are complicated ethnic relations, and at the moment when this great enemy is present, it is also necessary to pay money to pacify and stabilize the rear.

After calculating all kinds of expenses, Zhao Hao felt that the plan to build an additional warehouse could be cut, this kind of only in and out, and the consumption of the grain would be consumed before the new warehouse was built, and there would not be a single mouse at that time. But now the whole Qiongzhou is looking at the Shuai Mansion with a blank eye, if there is no money to be sent one day, Zhao Yu can't imagine what kind of scene it will be. However, to completely solve the current predicament, long-term planning is needed, and it cannot be done overnight, and it is not easy to get rich by grabbing, after all, there are not many places as rich as Guangzhou......
