The time of the night passed quickly, so many things happened, many people may have difficulty sleeping, but Yuan Xi slept very soundly, Tian Yu was under house arrest, although Xian Yufu has not completely surrendered, but the position of the Taishou of Shanggu County has indeed been recaptured, this threat can be put down for the time being, speaking of which, it is also Yuan Xi's luck, if Tian Yu does not underestimate him, but treats him cautiously and guards Shanggu County, then he really has to spend some means, and even has to dispatch the black devil to carry out the beheading operation.

Fortunately, the Mandate of Heaven is on Yuan Xi's side, just like his father Yuan Shao back then, if the original Jizhou Mu Hanfu could be a little tougher, instead of directly retreating in a hurry and sacrificing the entire Jizhou, Yuan Shao would never be able to unify the north so quickly.

In the early morning of the second morning, the rain and dew had not yet dried, the air was unusually fresh, and in the huge back garden of the Thorn Mansion, on a quiet path, Yuan Xi and Badun were walking slowly.

"Da Shan Yu, whether it is me or my father, I have a lot of trust in you, in the eyes of our Yuan family, Wu Huan's Da Shan Yu can only be a ghost, or your heir, we will not admit anyone else, and the Son of Heaven will never admit it" Yuan Xi said in a firm tone

"Thank you for the attention of the second son, please rest assured that as long as I am alive, no one will be allowed to destroy the peace and friendship between you and me," said the second son.

"Okay, Xi is also here to promise you, as long as you need help, despite the letter, whether it is internal contradictions or external distress, Xi is obligated to support you to the end" Yuan Xi looked at the loyalty value that had reached 75, and promised with a smile on his face.

"Thank you Second Prince" He suddenly gave a respectful salute, and then said with a smile: "This time, I didn't bring any other gifts, so I selected five thousand war horses from the grassland, which can be regarded as congratulating the second son on his succession to Youzhou Thorn History."

"Haha, Da Shan Yu is too polite, we Han people pay attention to courtesy and exchanges, since Shan Yu sent me a horse, then I will send you grain, I have already ordered to go down, prepare three thousand loads of grain, and a cart of jewelry, and hope that Shan Yu must accept it" Yuan Xi said softly, his strength is not enough now, and he needs the help of this Da Shan Yu

"Then I won't shirk it," he replied, and the two immediately laughed in unison, and the friendship was slowly established under the condition of equality and mutual help.

After eating a hearty breakfast, he said goodbye, Yuan Xi did not force him to stay, he still had a lot of things, after the two parted at the door, Yuan Xi officially began his first day of life as the assassin of Youzhou.

On the top of the main hall of the Assassin's Mansion, the civil and military stood on both sides, standing in order, and Han Yan was reporting at this time.

"Yu Gongzi, at present, there are 91,354 troops in Youzhou, among which General Yan Rou, as Wuhuan Sima, commands the most elite 40,000 Han and Wuhuan mixed army, stationed in Linyu, controls Wuheng, defends Liaodong, and guards Liaoxi, which can be described as an outstanding meritorious service."

"This point Xi is very clear, General Yan Rou has worked hard, he should be praised, you send a document for Xi to go over, and send two thousand loads of grain and grass to tell General Yan Rou, let him not relax, whether it is Liaodong Gongsun Kang, or foreign affairs, you must be cautious, Xi is willing to give him good logistics, if there is any need, just write over" Yuan Xi affirmed, although Yan Rou has not surrendered, but it is indeed the Dinghai Divine Needle for Liaodong and foreign tribes, now Tian Yu can no longer make trouble, I believe that after a period of hard work, this general should be able to pull back.

"No!" After Han Yan responded, he continued: "The other 50,000 are located in Zhuo County, Guangyang, Dai County, Shanggu, Yuyang, and Youbeiping counties under the jurisdiction of Gongzi, among which the specific number of troops in Yuyang County remains to be investigated."

A cold light flashed in Yuan Xi's eyes, and he said softly: "Yuyang Taishou is Wang Song!" ”

"Not bad," Han Yan nodded.

Yuan Xi smiled coldly, looked at Xian Yufu, who was standing at the top of the generals, and said with a smile: "General Xian Yu, what do you think of Wang Taishou?" ”

Xian Yufu was stunned for a moment, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Son, forgive me, the last general is not very familiar with Wang Taishou,"

Yuan Xi smiled, knowing that Xian Yufu's heart was still knotted, and he didn't force it

"Childe, Wang Song is arrogant, ignoring Childe, and the officials ask for orders, thoroughly investigate the taxes and troops of the Yuyang Army, and they have been corrupted and ruled by officials" Lu Yu, who had just been promoted to the Assassin's Mansion, immediately stood up and said in a loud voice.

"Don't be in a hurry, Wang Taishou still has merit" Yuan Xi smiled and waved his hand.

After Lu Yu reluctantly retreated, another official stood up and said respectfully: "Master Wang Feng, report to the son"

Yuan Xi glanced at it, his loyalty was not bad, but his intelligence value was too low, so he was not a great talent, but he still smiled and said, "Say"

"Yu Gongzi, at present, the treasury has 8,000 gold, 320,000 money, 1,241 rolls of cloth, and 25,100 quintals of grain and grass."

Yuan Xi frowned, and said seriously: "How can it be so little, the tax revenue of a state alone should be more than this."

"Gongzi, the troubled times are coming, the war is going to be fought every year, Youzhou has just been pacified, the treasury has long been empty, and these have only been reluctantly collected recently, but please rest assured, as long as the counties are stable, as long as there is only one more year of light and shadow, the treasury will inevitably be full" Han Yan stood up again, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Yuan Xi nodded, after the war, it was really devastating, and said softly: "Open up more sources and reduce expenditure, encourage industry and commerce, attract wealthy businessmen from other states to come and invest, you can give them some preferential treatment"

"No!"

After the two most important parts of the military and finance were finished, other civilian officials at all levels also gave some advice, all of which were about the administration of officials, agriculture, water conservancy, civil affairs, and so on.

After they finished talking one by one, Yuan Xi was satisfied: "All the princes are very diligent, Xi is very pleased, I believe that with our efforts, we will definitely be able to restore Youzhou to life."

"Obey the order of the childe," everyone at once.

"Okay, then I'll also talk about two points, first, I will set up three departments: Tiangong Academy, Audit Department, and Military Department, and these three departments are under my direct leadership" Yuan Xi looked much more serious.

Although many people were curious about what kind of department this was, Yuan Xi decided and did not share their cakes, and hurriedly agreed.

Yuan Xi shouted again: "Ma Jun, frustrated"

"In!" The two of them immediately stood up excitedly.

"Ma Jun is in charge of the Tiangong Academy, and Fu Hu is in charge of the Audit Department, presumably you also know what to do, and all the expenses you need, you can talk to Han Beijia"

"No!"

"In addition" After Yuan Xi arranged for the two of them, he slowly stood up, looked at Li Ru, who was standing in the second place on the left, and had not spoken: "From today on, Mr. Lianglu is the military advisor officially appointed by Xi, who can supervise the administration of officials and civil affairs, and has the same status as other drivers."

In addition to Yuan Xi's own people, the Wenchen military general of the original Assassin Mansion was suddenly startled, and looked at Li Ru curiously, even Han Yan was surprised, what kind of person is this Liangluo, Gongzi actually gave him such a big right, it seems to be the same as other drivers, but it is indeed a civil and military supervision, and he can also mobilize the army, even after Yuan Xi arrived, he has no right to mobilize the army, this is completely under one person, above ten thousand people!

"No" However, Li Ru's face was indeed very calm, which made the people present can't help but glance up.

Yuan Xi smiled slightly, although Li Ru may not care, but he must give it, this is his respect for himself, the mastermind of the destiny of heaven.

On the first day of taking office, Yuan Xi didn't say anything important on the bright side, and after a few small talks, everyone retreated one after another, and went to work on their own things, and because Yuan Xi had just arrived, he needed to understand the situation first, and what the officials said was only part of the point, and more was still in the pieces, so he was drowned in the pieces that pushed like a mountain.

Until the evening, Yuan Xi was still in the inner hall, staying up all night to review, it is not a simple matter to really manage a state, from the advance of the army, the promotion of officials, to the supervision of local officials, none of them is easy.

If you want to make a career, you need to work hard, and to achieve the emperor's business, you need endless effort, in a word, the superior, you can not be refined, but you must be well-read and memorized, and you must understand a little bit of everything.
