Chapter 100: A new official takes office

When Xu Qing's official robe was about to show his might, there was a sedan chair in the distance, and the sedan chair man shouted: "Cangzhou Governor Shi, Lord Xia is here~~~" Xu Qing glanced at him coldly, and found a holy decree, and when he saw the long history out of the sedan chair, Lang Sheng read: "Cangzhou Governor Shi Xia Chu received the decree~~"

"Divine decree? Really? The catchers whispered. That Xia Chu stood in place and looked at Xu Qing, Xia Hao suddenly stood up and drank: "Everyone, catch him quickly, this person is pretending to be a holy decree and pretending to be a court official, quickly catch him!" ”

--Xia Hao shouted hoarsely, but he was unmoved. How can you do it? Is the machine bracket crossbow in the cow's grazing hand a show?

--Xu Qing and Xia Chu looked at each other, Xu Qing was not busy or panicked, but Xia Chu looked at Xu Qing with no fear, and began to be a little afraid.

"Rebel, don't kneel down yet!" Xia Chu walked a few steps, facing Xu Qing, the "angel" holding the holy decree, his attitude suddenly turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and he made the appearance of a courtier, knelt down and said that he accepted the decree. Seeing this, Xia Hao also knelt down with a gloomy face, and this kneeling, Hulala Street knelt down. Xu Qing read: "Cangzhou Governor Shi Xia Chu, during his tenure of office, has made remarkable political achievements, and he is specially promoted to the history of Tengzhou, Shandong, and there must be no mistake in taking office immediately, so I admire this."

"Ministers thank the emperor for his kindness......" Xia Chu listened to the holy decree and was promoted, and couldn't help but feel a little more really happy.

"Lord Xia, congratulations?" Xu Qing said with a smile.

"Dare to ask the angel who is?"

"I am the newly appointed Cangzhou Thorn ......"

Xu Qing and Xia Chu both ignored Xia Hao, and secretly revealed what they had just done, as for whether they had really revealed it or not, it was unknown. Later, I learned that the father and son were preparing to go out of the city and return to their hometown, Xia Hao walked fast, Xia Chu walked slowly, so there was a meeting. It's just that Xu Qing can't figure out one thing, a city-level cadre, there is no escort when he goes out, is it because the people are simple? Hehe......

Cangzhou Thorn History:

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and he says: Xu Qingwen Simida, outstanding martial arts, real and humeral, and a special envoy to hold the military Cangzhou Assassin History, Qinzai!"

Xu Qing was crowned in scarlet clothes, recited the holy decree on the stage, and showed the golden seal and fish talisman to the state officials. Under the history of the assassination, there were officials such as Bi Jia, Chang Shi, and Sima, called Shang Zuoguan, who had no authority, and the imperial court often placed idle officials with their high quality. However, if there is a shortage of assassins, the adjutant can act as an agent for the state.

Under the history of the assassination, there are also Si Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu, Justice, Si Bing, Si Tian and other Cao joined the army, responsible for handling all aspects of government affairs, and was led by the record and military affairs. These officials are called judges and have real power. Under the prefecture, there are prefectural orders, and under the prefectural orders, there are prefectural officials such as Sasuke's officials, prefectural lieutenants who divide the public cao and urge rents, and there are officials such as the chief bookkeeper who is in charge of the clerical books.

Now that Xu Qing has become an assassin, it turns out that one will not drive back to Beijing to report on his work, and the other will be transferred to Shandong, so now Xu Qing will be able to grasp real power as soon as he takes office, and there will be no so-called situation of two tigers fighting. Of course, this real power still has to be discounted, after all, this group of state officials was not personally elected.

Xu Qingzheng sat at the top, smiling, looking like I was a good boss.

"You join the army, today I was sent by the imperial court to be the assassin of this state, and I will work with you in the future, and I will have to bother you......"

"Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Assassin Shi is young and promising, let me wait to be ashamed and embarrassed......"

"Yes, yes, in the future, if Lord Assassin Shi has something to order, I will do my best!"

"This official is newly appointed, I don't know how much Cangzhou has a population and what are the properties?" Xu Qing asked.

"Qi Yu assassination history, the next lawsuit is Zhao Yan, 12,480 households in four counties of Cangzhou, or 46,753 ding...... A man in a green shirt took the initiative to report.

"In Xia Si Tian Ciyuan, Cangzhou is 640,000 hectares wide, and the mountains are ......"

"In the subordinate soldier ......"

After listening to the reports of various divisions, I finally understood the basic situation of Xia Cangzhou, and I can say one word "poor", two words "poor", and four words "one poor and two white".

Not to mention whether the people are short of food and clothing, as far as the government is concerned, it is a poor jingling. Based on the household registration of Cangzhou, a year's rent adjustment, according to rough estimates, will also collect more than 100,000 stone of grain, and then receive 70,000 stone of grain from the county. However, the state official said that Cangzhou's existing grain stock was only 4,000 stones, and the rations for the state soldiers were only enough for two months. Xu Qing asked why there were so few, and the reason of the state official was that there were frequent wars, bandits were rampant, and they could not collect grain.

No, the more Xu Qing thought about it, the more wrong it became, he knew about the Hebei War, Liu Heimin has been active in the area of Lishui, this is Liu Heimin's rear, and it is a relatively stable place. But you can't collect taxes, what's the matter? Is it because bandits are rampant? It's......

Xu Qing had mixed feelings in his heart, and he still had a smile on his face. Then another thousand state soldiers were inspected, and the weapons were quite complete and the morale was still usable, but there was not a single horse. In this land of Hebei, there is basically no difference between the army and the bandits who rob their homes. The commander was called Qi Tai, and he said that the thousand people were left by the prince, and after killing Liu Heimin, let them be stationed here to defend. After inspecting the state soldiers, he had to inspect the Assassin's Mansion again.

It is said that although Cangzhou is poor, this thorn mansion is not poor and sour, it is a small city in Cangzhou City, and it is a good thing to cover. The walls were as high and wide as a real city, and there was a barracks in the small city that could accommodate 300 people, and all the officials of the houses worked here.

In the afternoon, Wang Shan also arrived in Cangxian County, Xu Qing arranged for them to be stationed in the inner city with 200 soldiers and horses, and all the posts were taken over by these people, and dozens of carts of farm tools were also put in their hands and not handed over to the treasurer.

In the evening, Xu Qing checked the account books in the state capital, but because the income was very small and the flag was changed frequently, there were only a few accounts.

--Xu Qingxin said: That's good, I originally wanted to catch a few dirty officials, but now I don't have to look at the account, and I can't find out how much others have taken. Xu Qing snorted coldly, this Cangzhou is really a puddle of mud.

Xu Qing calmed down, thinking that the top priority was to gather the army's rations, because the grain in the treasury was not enough for the state soldiers to last until the next harvest, and he didn't want to cause the army to mutiny. When he was in Shang Shufang, Xu Qing told Li Yuan that he would get rid of hunger and cold first, and then get rid of bandits, but Xu Qing now saw that this was going to be changed.

"Didn't you say that there were too many bandits to harvest food? I'll send troops to suppress the bandits, and I'm going to see what reasons you use to stop the taxation of summer grain......" Xu Qing thought alone, remembering to let the bullets fly inside, and the first thing Zhang Mazi did when he entered the city was to suppress the bandits.

For Xu Qing, sending troops to suppress bandits is to raise soldiers with war, and second, to deter the small group. Secondly, because the state soldiers are not locals, they are the troops left by Li Jiancheng, and they should be able to be used by Xu Qing, and there will not be too many yang and yin violations. However, this matter of suppressing bandits will have to wait for the dark river to come.

At the end, Xun Xue'er brought a bowl of soup, pinched Xu Qing's shoulders well, and loved her.

On the other hand, a group of local bureaucrats and gentry in Cangzhou also began to gather one after another, discussing the new leader, and finally came to a conclusion, if Xu Qing maintained the status quo, it would be easy to do, let him be a good assassin, if Xu Qing wanted to destroy the status quo, then give him a stumbling block.

However, the local gentry in Cangzhou are not monolithic, and some people see Xu Qing because they see a threat; And some people, when they see Xu Qing, they see an opportunity. It is true that the big forces want to maintain the status quo, and it is true that the middle forces want to go to the next level......

Cangzhou, the situation is changing for a while, and the undercurrent is surging.
