Zhang Xuān fell silent when he heard this.

He knew very well that what these immigrants were saying was not unreasonable. In the frontier areas, unlike in the inland⊥ half of the income of the peasants had to be handed over to the army to feed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses: in addition, they had to pay a large amount of taxes to the imperial court, which were recorded layer by layer, and naturally they received little.

I think this is the key to this group of immigrants taking the opportunity to make trouble.

It is its purpose to reduce taxes and pay tribute for military rations to the imperial court.

It's just that if they don't meet Zhang Xuān, a traverser from modern civilized society, this kind of appeal will basically not be taken seriously≥ but Zhang Xuān, a clean official who cherishes the people's power, will not be accepted because of this.

Zhang Xuān's clear gaze was projected on Hu Kan's body, and he was silent for a long time.

That Hu Kan lowered his head slightly, he seemed to be calm, but in fact, he was still a little nervous in his heart to gather the crowd to make trouble, threatening the king of pingxi, this is a big crime, if zhang xuān is a little dissatisfied, his small

I can't save my life. As long as the dozen or so of them are killed, under the pressure of the army, the incident will naturally subside, and these immigrants will still honestly go to Tuntian in Liangning Prefecture to open up wasteland.

If it weren't for the fact that when he was in Lingzhou, he heard that Zhang Xuān loved the people like a son, was harsh and strict with officials and soldiers, and was lenient and benevolent to the people, Hu Kan would definitely not have the courage to do so.

Zhang Xuān slowly got up and strode over.

He walked up to Hu Kan, leaned down, gently patted the head of the little girl who was lying beside Hu Kan, and said softly with a smile, "Little girl, what's your name?" ”

The girl shrank her head in fear, her thin body trembling a little.

Hu Kan was taken aback, and said in a trembling voice, "Back to the words of the prince, this is a little girl of the grass people, named Huanniang." "Hehe, Huanniang, good name girl, come to this king, don't be afraid, this king is here, no one dares to hurt you." Zhang Xuān squatted there and beckoned to the girl with a smile.

Hu Huanniang is only a seven or eight-year-old girl, and now she can accompany her father on such occasions without crying, which is already precious. But she is a child after all, although she has a little courage, she is still afraid of Zhang Xuān, a big official, and does not dare to approach.

Zhang Xuān's smile became even stronger, and he continued to say in a harmonious voice, "Don't be afraid, come to me, this king will ask you a few words." ”

Na Huanniang slowly raised her head, looking at Zhang Xuān's smiling face with some fear, and hesitated slightly.

Everyone present, whether it was Hu Kan and other representatives of the people, Li Tan and Nan Jiyun and other soldiers, could not understand why Zhang Xuān suddenly had the leisure to put down the majesty and arrogance of the king of Pingxi to tease a girl.

Hu Kan gently squeezed his daughter's little hand and looked at her encouragingly.

First, he saw that Zhang Xuān had no malicious intent, and secondly, he angered Zhang Xuān for this, and eventually caused trouble.

Huan Niang hesitated, walked over slowly, raised her little face and was about to say something, but was hugged by Zhang Xuān.

Huan Niang was startled, her body struggled a few times, and when she saw Zhang Xuān's gentle demeanor, she slowly relaxed.

Zhang Xuān held Huanniang in one hand, waved the other hand, and said loudly, "Wait and get up and speak." Zhang Xuān hugged Huanniang, walked to Hu Kan and others, and said loudly, "Immigrants bring burdens and pressures to the people, and this king knows it in his heart. ”

"However, immigrating to Liangning Prefecture is a plan of the imperial court. If we do not implement the strategy of military cantonment, it will be difficult for us to hold Liangning Prefecture, and the great territory that our soldiers have thrown their heads and shed their blood will fall into the hands of the Tubo people again. Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation of the whole country, I can only grieve everyone. ”

"In order to reduce the burden of the people, this king has been sleepless lately, and he has been exhausted." Zhang Xuān smiled lightly, "Let's go back to appease the people first, and then continue to march to Liangning Prefecture, this king promises you, within three days, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will issue an edict ♀ to relieve the people's burden, which is the king's promise, and you will never eat and enjoy!" ”

Zhang Xuān looked back at Huanniang and smiled, and took out a token from his arms, "Huanniang, this is the token of this king, you take it." If the king breaks his promise after three days, you can take your father to the Hezhou Mansion to find me with this token! Perhaps it was because Zhang Xuān's continued gentle attitude made Huanniang feel greatly relaxed, and the sense of awe gradually subsided, and the child's innocent romance took its place. ”

Zhang Xuān laughed, "This king is a good talker, Huan Niang can rest assured." ”

Huan Niang innocently stretched out a finger to "pull the hook!" "Okay, retractor!"

"Pull the hook on the sedan chair, and it will not change for a hundred years! If it changes, the prince will change to fight the tiger! Huanniang's innocent nèn's voice echoed dàng on the field, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Li Tanze's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and this scene made him see the soft and simple side of Zhang Xuānx ìng again. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have thought that Zhang Xuān, the governor of Longshuo, the king of Pingxi, and the powerful minister of the dynasty, who had always been strong and majestic, would have such soft feelings.

Hu Kan and others were moved to tears.

Looking at Hu Kanqiao Huanniang's little hand slowly leaving, Huanniang also turned around to look at Zhang xuān step by step, shaking her little hand, Zhang Xuān smiled and said nothing.

Huā Nu'er stood on his side and said softly...... This girl is clever and pitiful, "...

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Zhang Xuān's move may still have a hint of the superior's show of foolishness, but Huā Nu'er, who knows him more and more, knows that Zhang Xuān does not have any pretense elements.

At the very least, this girl Huanniang did arouse Zhang Xuān's liking.

"Yes, such a young child can not cry or make trouble on such occasions, this child is not simple." Zhang Xuān smiled lightly, looked back at Li Tan, arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, let's enter Hezhou City." ”

Talk about getting up.

The immigrant chaos subsided, and no force was used to suppress it, just a few words from Zhang Xuān. After a short time, the migrant team spontaneously continued to advance, the congested official road was cleared, and Zhang Xuān led the team to continue to move forward until outside the city of Hezhou.

Li Guangbi, who rushed over in the early days, took Zuo Cheng, a subordinate official of the Hejiao Governor's Mansion, to greet him in fear, and he didn't see Zhang Xuān angry, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Zhang Xuān holds on to it, it will be the ineffective handling of the officials of the Hejiao Governor's Mansion, and even Li Guangbi, the chief military and political official, can be held responsible.

Li Guangbi and others welcomed Zhang Xuān and Li Tan into the city and entered the Taishou Mansion in Hezhou.

Zhang Xuān sat behind the table in the lobby, and Li Tan still set up another seat on one side to listen.

After sitting down, the smile on Zhang Xuān's face suddenly fell, Huo Ran got up and looked around at Li Guangbi and other civil and military generals of the Hejiao Governor's Mansion and said in a deep voice, "Li Guangbi, the people have reported to this king that the settlement fee and rations have been deducted from the layers of inventory, and you must find out about this matter as soon as possible." No matter who is involved, they will be severely punished! If the crime is serious, there will be no forgiveness! ”

Zhang Xuān's voice was solemn, Li Guangbi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly replied respectfully, "Yes, the last general will obey the order!" ”

"In addition, the king is ready to implement the immigration exemption policy, for those who immigrate to Liangning Prefecture, the amount of land obtained to pay military rations will be halved, and the king will also petition the imperial court to implement a six-year exemption in Liangning Prefecture, and enter the government with light taxes, and collect less than 1,000 yuan a year."

"Enslavement Kuanping, Xingfeng Province, and the people are rich" Zhang Xuān waved his hand indifferently, "Only in this way can Liangning Prefecture prosper and settle down in the shortest possible time." Otherwise, the people will not be able to get the benefits and feel uneasy, and the Liangning Prefecture will be unstable.

Li Guangbi and other officials of the Hejiao Governor's Mansion couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and immediately frowned.

Anyway, most of the taxes collected must be handed over to the imperial treasury: but the military rations are halved, which directly affects the long-term garrison of 40,000 soldiers and horses in Liangning Prefecture. If you can't even eat your stomach, how can you still fight the border with peace of mind?

No one dared to say anything, but Li Guangbi gritted his teeth and said softly, "Dashuai, please forgive the last general, it is already a great grace to be exempt from taxes for six years, if the military rations are reduced or exempted, I'm afraid... I'm afraid that my tens of thousands of troops will be unsustainable in Liangning Prefecture, please think twice! ”

Zhang Xuān smiled, "Guangbi, this Wang Yi ù let the military horses of Liangning Prefecture take turns to march to the tun, half of them are on the border, and half of them are engaged in the construction of Liangning Prefecture, and they are rotated once every three months, and they are rich in food and clothing." If the war starts, the whole army will be restored. ”

Li Guangbi was speechless for a while, and could no longer say anything.

Zhang Xuān's words have all been said about this, and he has obviously made up his mind a long time ago. Although Li Guangbi felt a little disapproving, he could no longer refute it face-to-face. He was going to find Zhang Xuān and 140,000 soldiers and horses to guard against the entire Tubo army in Tuyuhun's hometown, which was a little insufficient in itself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the power of the people is the foundation of the country. When the people are strong, the country is strong, and the people should not be slackened. If the implementation of harsh government and the accumulation of public grievances for a long time, the internal troubles are still frequent, "Zhang Xuān has clear eyes, looks around at everyone, and said indifferently" As an official, he misses the people day by day, and even if he can't love the people like a son, he also needs to face up to the people's suffering! "The emperor once said that although I am thin, the world will be fat. If we can't do it as if we can't do it as if we are walking on thin ice, then the people complain about the chaos in the world in order to reduce the pressure on the people's livelihood, from today on, this king decided to implement the wine restriction order, where I Longshuo prefectures and counties, the grain of wine is halved and the wind of drinking and pleasure consumes a lot of food, which is really sighing! ”

"This alcohol restriction will last for two years. The people drink, this king will not intervene, but I eat the Dai Lu of the court, should practice and set an example. From now on, from this king onwards, all our Longshuo officials and generals are strictly forbidden to drink and have fun during the day, and any unnecessary wine banquets should be cancelled. "If this king can do it, you must do it." ,, Zhang Xuān tone jīang, waving his arms, face lù resolute and decisive sè.

He has long been dissatisfied with the extravagance of Datang's good wine and pleasure, and now he has seized the opportunity to take advantage of this bad trend. Not to mention a complete ban on alcohol, how much food can be saved by halving the existing alcohol consumption?

He can't control the drinking of ordinary people, and he can't control it: but he can still do it if the official drinking wind is strongly suppressed.
