After settling in.

Yuan Xi gathered the officials in Youzhou and got to know them one by one. By the way, let's learn about the financial situation of Youzhou, because in the next period of time, he will go crazy to improve the system level. And to do this, it is indispensable to buy horses with money.

"Humble Xun Chen, I have seen the second son."

"Humble Cui Yan, I've seen Gongzi Xi."

"The last will hit the rocks, I've seen..."

"The last general, He Mao..."

Dozens of officials stood in the front hall and signed up one by one. Yuan Xi closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, and thought to himself: "Poor, there is no one available talent in the dignified and secluded state." Xun Chen and Cui Yan are still passable, and the others are garbage. ”

As a prince with great ambitions, there are few generals under his hands, how sad is it? Do you want to rely on Jiao Touch, He Mao and others to seize the world?

Yuan Xi shook his head secretly, feeling ridiculous to himself.

Zhang Jaw was also beside him, and when he saw Yuan Xi listless, he asked, "Is Childe too tired from traveling for days?" ”

"Ahem..."

Yuan Xi was awakened by Zhang Jaw's words, glanced at everyone, and said, "I'm really tired." Mr. Xun Chen, Mr. Cui Yan, General Reef, and General He Mao stayed, and the rest retreated. ”

"No."

The officials came and went.

They didn't know that because their names were not famous in later generations, they denied their life's work. It is destined to be reused during Yuan Xi's reign.

and those who were left behind, Xun Chen, Cui Yan, Hit the Reef, and He Mao. It is the civil and military who hold the real power in Youzhou. They were named and left behind, apparently taken seriously, and their hearts were happy.

Yuan Xi looked at them and said, "Before coming to Youzhou, Mr. Fu said it. The internal affairs of Youzhou have always been managed by Mr. Xun Chen and Mr. Cui Yan. I'm not interested in internal affairs and don't want to meddle. But I want to know the current situation in Youzhou. Which of you will report back? ”

Xun Chen stood up and said, "Return to the son." Youzhou now has six counties, and the most populous is Zhuo County.... ”

"Wait."

Yuan Xicai didn't bother to listen to these things that Rory was rambling, and asked directly: "How much money does the treasury have now?" How many horses can I buy? How much profit can be made per year? Sir, all you have to do is answer these three questions. ”

"Uh..."

In order to deal with Yuan Xi's question, Xun Chen spent several days preparing. The population of each county was also recounted to arrive at precise figures. Unexpectedly, in Yuan Xi's eyes, there was only money. And this is precisely what he cannot answer.

Xun Chen said with a little embarrassment: "Back to the prince, Youzhou has just been decided, and a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived." Half of the money and grain in the treasury were transported to Yecheng, and the rest has not yet been counted urgently. As for how much profit can be made? We'll have to wait until next year to find out. ”

"Okay. You figure it out as soon as you can, and then tell me. ”

"No."

Yuan Xi didn't dwell on these issues, and continued: "Youzhou is governed by me, and I have only one request for you. That's loyalty! I don't have sand in my eyes, and if I find out, you have signs of judging me, don't blame me for being ruthless. Of course, you can also choose to leave now, and I will guarantee that you will go to Jizhou to take up your post. ”

"The ministers are only the sons of the horse..."

Everyone said without hesitation.

Just kidding, whoever wants to back down at this time will definitely die a miserable death.

Zhang Jaw almost stood up. But thinking that he was the general of the Jizhou Army, he stopped abruptly.

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in your loyalty." Now I declare that Mr. Xun Chen and Mr. Cui Yan will remain unchanged in their powers and will continue to govern Youzhou. General He Mao was in charge of the military and government and commanded all the infantry. General Scorched Touch commands all the cavalry. After five days, I will go to the school field for a military parade, and I hope you are ready and don't drop the chain for me. ”

"No."

Yuan Xi's few words determined their future.

They are in charge of internal affairs, military affairs, and are only responsible to Yuan Xi, and they are already under one person in Youzhou and above ten thousand people!

With such reuse, can there be any other idea than desperate allegiance? Let's ask who has the courage of Yuan Xi to hand over hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to two unfamiliar generals.

After the meeting.

Jaw is ready to take his leave...

Yuan Xi sent him out of Jixian County until ten miles away, and said, "General Zhang, I really can't bear you to go." If my father agrees, I'm willing to exchange all the castles for generals. I'm saying this... The general must not believe it, right? Everyone values money, food, and cities more than their lives. I'm no exception. But compared to talent, those are too insignificant. There is no money to be earned, and there is no city to be taken again. But if you miss out on talents, it's hard to find. ”

"Childe..."

Zhang Jaw was moved, and said to Yuan Xi: "Son, please rest assured." I'll definitely be back! ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi has no doubts about this.

It's just that after leaving Zhang Jaw, the Youzhou Army lacks a soul character, which is a pity.

Sending Zhang Jaw away, Yuan Xi felt distressed for several days. It's like a landlord with a lot of money, who suddenly becomes a poor egg. No one can understand the thirst for talent from an aspiring person.

Inside the Assassin's House.

Zhen Mi, with the maid ring and the guards, had already cleaned up the courtyards in front of her.

Yuan Xi walked around, returned to the open living room, and breathed in the fresh air outside. Zhen Mi walked over and said with a smile: "Does the husband want to suck the air of the entire Thorn Mansion into his stomach?" ”

"yes."

Taking advantage of Zhen Mi's inattention, Yuan Xi hugged her and asked, "Do you feel that your life is the best now?" No one cares, no old witch, no need to look at other people's faces, and no need to worry about doing something wrong. From now on, you are the hostess here, I am the hostess, we can do whatever we want. ”

"If only we could keep doing this."

"Definitely!"

Yuan Xi hugged her tightly, fantasizing about a bright future.

Zhen Mi snuggled in Yuan Xi's arms and enjoyed this moment very quietly. It seems that time has stood still, and in a vast ocean, only by leaning on Yuan Xi's shoulder, can his heart be steady.

Time passes slowly...

Half a quarter of an hour later.

The cavalry commander was anxious to see him.

Yuan Xi let go of Zhen Mi and said to the soldier who reported the news: "Tell Jiao Touch that the 20,000 cavalry under his command should abandon their war horses and change to infantry for actual combat training." I will go to the school field for a military parade in half an hour. I want to see his soldiers, as swift and brave as war horses. Instead of riding on a war horse to show off your might. ”

"No."

After talking to Zhen Mi for a while, Yuan Xi went to the garrison's school grounds.

From the moment he entered Jixian County, he began to fight the idea of the 20,000 war horses. And the soldiers who are qualified to control the strengthened war horses must be selected by thousands of people.
