Chapter 24: Finding Someone
Li Yang didn't know that in the eyes of those ministers, he was almost a dead man. He was still complacent and felt that today's performance was very good.
not only unified the thinking of the entire team, let Meng Yi and others understand the proportions of conviction and sentencing, but also the concepts that he borrowed from later generations shocked the ministers to be convinced, so that the implementation of the later changes will be much smoother.
As far as Li Yang is concerned, all he can do is to use the historical experience summed up by later generations for more than 2,000 years to guide this era in a correct and advanced direction, and the specific content of the reform must rely on Meng and Feng to handle it.
After all, if you make specific laws by yourself, the laws will definitely be out of this era, and eventually lead to the failure of the law reform. The two men of Meng and Feng formulated the specific content of the law, which could be integrated with this era.
And all of this seems to be going more smoothly than expected today.
In a good mood, Li Yang whistled and returned to the backyard.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is a two-fold main building, divided into two courts, the front court is the government affairs department, which is used to deal with official business, and there are a number of official offices in the palace.
The backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is Li Yang's residence, because the Zhongcheng Mansion was renovated from LΓΌ Buwei's previous mansion, so this backyard is also very luxurious and spacious.
In the back garden, which covers an area of hundreds of square meters, I saw a pool of clear water in the garden, the water was full of lotus flowers, and a group of koi fish were playing under the lotus leaves.
On the edge of the lotus pond, a rockery stands, and a pavilion is placed in the middle of the water.
Seeing this scene in the garden, Li Yang couldn't help but think that even if this kind of landscape is placed in the future generations, it is an unattainable dream for countless people.
The backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion is still guarded by the Yulin Forbidden Army.
Ying Zheng knew that Li Yang was alone, so he also sent a hundred slaves from Xianyang Palace, and Ba Shi was afraid that Li Yang would not eat well, so he also sent three cooks from the world's restaurants, it can be said that the current Li Yang's life is extremely luxurious.
Walking between the pavilions and lotus ponds, seeing the picturesque scenery, Li Yang was thinking about chanting poems to give to the world, but Uncle Wu came over.
Wu Bo was invited to the mansion by Li Yang, and was directly appointed as the housekeeper of the mansion to take care of the affairs of the mansion for the Li Mansion.
In this strange world, Li Yang has no one to trust, and this Uncle Wu is one.
"Uncle Wu, is there something wrong?" Li Yang asked.
Uncle Wu came to the front and said, "Master, your subordinate official Lord Wang asks to see you!" β
"Officer? Lord Wang? Li Yang was stunned.
"It's the county guard of Dongyang County, the lord's fiefdom." Wu Bo said.
As soon as he heard this, Li Yang reacted, it turned out that the so-called "subordinate officials" referred to the officials of his fiefdom.
After understanding, Li Yang said, "Please come to the hall!" β
"No!" Wu Bo answered, turned around and went to summon ......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Not long after, Li Yang saw the prefect of his fiefdom in the hall, the county guard of Dongyang County.
"Xiaguan Dongyang County Keeper Wang Youxian, meet Lord Zhongcheng!"
Wang Youxian arched his hand and shook it deeply.
Li Yang said with a smile: "Lord Wang doesn't have to be polite, you are the county guard of Dongyang, and you can be regarded as the official of your parents." β
Wang Youxian looked frightened: "Don't dare, the lower officials only listen to Lord Zhongcheng's orders." β
In the Qin period, the marquis's fief only collected the tax of the fief, and did not have the jurisdiction of the fief, Li Yang was very curious, how could the subordinate officials of his fief come to ask for a meeting, so he asked: "I don't know why Lord Wang came to Xianyang this time?" β
Wang Youxian hurriedly replied: "Now Dongyang County is the fief of Lord Zhongcheng, and the lower official deliberately handed over the household registration and tax items of the county to the lord this time. β
"It's because Benxiang was too busy and forgot to send someone to Dongyang to hand over this matter, but it was annoying Lord Wang to run so hard." After learning the intention, Li Yang suddenly realized, and looked into the hall, sure enough, there were a few large compartments, which were obviously the household registration and tax accounts of Dongyang County.
"Lord Zhongcheng is polite."
Receiving Li Yang's praise, Wang Youxian was still very happy in his heart, and continued: "Lord Zhongcheng is in charge of the community, and the annual tax in the future will be personally sent to the mansion by the lower officials." β
Li Yang nodded with satisfaction, he was indeed unsend-free at the moment.
However, thinking that he has the dividends of the world's residence, and there is no shortage of money at the moment, he said: "In order to repay His Majesty's kindness, the prime minister intends to give the people of Dongyang County tax exemption for three years, and this matter needs to be passed on by Lord Wang to the local people." β
Wang Youxian was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he shook deeply: "Xiaguan...... Thank you for the kindness of Lord Zhongcheng for the people of Dongyang! β
"Lord Wang, what are you...... Why are your eyes still red? Li Yang was also stunned and said with a smile.
Wang Youxian hurriedly wiped his ruddy eyes and replied, "Xiaguan...... Move. β
"Huh? Haha, it seems that I, Lord Wang of Dongyang, am also a good official with the people in his heart. In this way, the true appearance is also relieved. Li Yang can see that this Wang Youxian doesn't look like acting, otherwise he would be too powerful.
In fact, the matter of handing over the household registration tax items can be done by sending a messenger to do it, and the reason why Wang Youxian will come in person is that he originally planned to come to Li Yang and ask for a reduction in taxes for the people under his rule.
Because in recent years, the forced labor has been too heavy, and the young and strong under the rule have almost been requisitioned by the forced labor, and the farmland is cultivated by the old and weak, so the people of Dongyang County have reached the point where they are unable to eat, let alone pay taxes.
Now, Dongyang County is already in chaos, and in order to rule the peace, Wang Youxian mustered up the courage and decided to go to Xianyang in person to ask for his life for the people.
It's just that he never thought that before the request could be made, Li Yang took the initiative to exempt the tax for three years.
For three years, the tax of a county is exempted, which really makes Wang Youxian surprised and delighted, and at the same time extremely moved.
During the day, he also read the notice of the new law.
The new decree not only abolished the joint sitting, but also lightly requisitioned, and the people ran around to tell each other, all in gratitude for the good governance of Prime Minister Li Yang.
Originally, he was still thinking that benevolence does not mean that he is benevolent. After all, in the past six countries, there were many benevolent ministers, but their people were not benevolent.
And now, Wang Youxian really believes that Li Yang is a prime minister with a benevolent heart, not only governing with benevolence, but also being benevolent when it comes to his own interests.
Thinking of this, Wang Youxian bowed his hand again and bowed deeply: "Dongyang has Lord Zhongcheng, which is the blessing of the people of Dongyang." Daqin has a Zhongcheng lord, which is a blessing for the people of Daqin. β
Li Yang laughed, and his heart was quite happy.
Although it was the first time they met, he had a good impression of this Wang Youxian.
"My lord, the lower officials will rush back to Dongyang on the same day and tell the people the good news." Wang Youxian gave up his hand and prepared to retreat.
Li Yang nodded, and was about to signal him to step back, when he suddenly remembered something again, so he stopped him: "By the way, there is still one thing in the original appearance, I want to trouble you to help." β
Wang Youxian hurriedly asked: "My lord, but there is a punishment, the next official will definitely go to the soup to fight the fire!" β
Li Yang smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you to help Benxiang find someone." β
"Looking for someone?" Wang Youxian was stunned for a moment and asked, "I don't know who the adults are looking for?" β
Li Yang said: "This person should still be in Huaiyin County, Dongyang County, named ...... Hanshin! β
