Chapter 984: Back to Xuzhou

Liu Lan met them in the study, there are still a lot of books in the study, over the years he has collected a lot of classics, not only buy everywhere, but also from Chen Qun, Cui Yan printed a lot of Confucian classics annotated by the old birthday star, but the really rare is the only one from Chen Deng and Mi Zhu. There are more books, and it is impossible to imagine that they used to be packed in boxes, and it is under such circumstances that the inner government will build a new study room, or a library pavilion.

The situation is urgent, Liu Lan did not be polite with the three of them, Chen Qun and Zhao Yun are in charge of civil affairs and the other are in charge of public security, these are also simple, but the complicated ones are here in Xu Shu.

The first thing is to ask him and Chen Qun to properly settle the displaced people sent by Xiaopei, which is not only a simple livelihood problem, but also related to the future development of Xuzhou and the taxation of money and grain, and if the problem of displaced people is not solved well, these displaced people may become wanderers, a thief-ridden Xuzhou, sooner or later will be finished.

I have to say that Chen Qun made preparations early in the morning, and immediately gave a solution after Liu Lan put forward his request, and built a new permanent position in Xuzhou, but this regular liquidation is different from the past, because he innovated through previous loopholes. First of all, in Xuzhou City, the city of Chang Ping Ping, the five counties of Xuzhou (except for Guangling in the hands of Zhirong) people's grain into the Xuzhou warehouse.

Although this is similar to the previous imperial court to set up a regular liquidation, but its essence is very different, the regular liquidation is only in charge of the accounts of the counties, and the people are clearly detailed rules to the counties and even the counties to manage, so that the accounts and things are separated, and the wind of the increasingly serious permanent liquidation and greed for grain can be avoided.

Liu Lan didn't expect him to carry out a separation of government and office in Pei County, so Chen Qun thought of a separation of accounts and materials in Xuzhou City, and was quite satisfied. Just about to make a decision, Chen Qun boldly did it, but he thought about it. Although Yicang seems to be a granary, the official government manages the accounts and materials, but there is a major omission. Suddenly raised his head and said: "Changwen, your proposal is indeed a good way to deal with the omission of the current regular liquidation, but I still have two doubts, first of all, your proposal is indeed very good at regulating the wind of Changping and greedy for food, but this is undoubtedly cutting the right to often close the position and increasing the responsibility of the county government, at that time, the government not only grasped the details of the people in each county and the household registration of the people more clearly, once the people migrated or died, these can all be in the control of the government. However, we don't know that if someone in the government wants to take the grain of the regular position for themselves, it is extremely simple or even very likely to happen, we can't say that we only need to take strict precautions from the county magistrates in various places, but at the beginning of the new construction of Yicang, we must come up with practical methods to eliminate the corruption problems that may occur in the county governments in this process! And such loss materials as grain and grass are very easy to rot and deteriorate during storage, that is to say, the people can only receive two or three buckets or even one bucket after deducting the loss after a few years of permanent closing of five buckets of grain. Although the chief has weakened his power and responsibility to close positions, how can the magistrate prevent it if he makes a profit? ”

Chen Qun's starting point for proposing the permanent liquidation has always been on how to prevent corruption in the permanent liquidation, but he has never considered the possibility of corruption being transferred from the permanent liquidation to the government during this period, even if it can ensure the integrity of the county order. But it is difficult to prevent the little officials from getting in the way, and it seems that it is difficult to be detected by profiting from loss, so there is only one way. In each county, a standing position was set up, which was directly responsible for the officials sent by the state minister.

Liu Lan still shook his head. Is it possible to eradicate corruption under the direct jurisdiction of the governor's office? This is impossible, the mountain governor of Zhuo County back then can make Liu Lan remember it vividly. What's more, there are too many government agencies set up too much, and too bloated will only become a burden on the state and pastoral government, but it will not be of much benefit to the people, and his idea is to hand over this institution to a money bank like Xiao Pei to deal with, which is also profitable, and the people's storage is relatively free. ”

Chen Qun is no stranger to Qianzhuang, but the people of Xuzhou do not know much about the existence of Qianzhuang, and the custody of the government is out of trust, and even the government enforces it, but it can be deposited in the bank but it is bound to make the people have many concerns.

The first thing is like this, Liu Lan had to say the second thing, that is, the tiger Ben Wang Yue appeared in Xuzhou, although he is Liu Lan's old friend for many years, but this matter Liu Lan still ordered Xu Shu and Zhao Yun to investigate openly and secretly, to see this old friend, now the red people around the emperor came to Xuzhou for what face, if it was just to chase the old friend, then why didn't he come to visit himself?

This is too strange, so he estimated that Wang Yue had another article to Xu, and now the situation in the Kanto and Kansai is so grim, especially Emperor Xian is still in deep trouble, how can the Sword Saint go thousands of miles to Xu in order to come to Ying'er? Therefore, he estimated that Wang Yue's visit to Guandong was due to the secret decree of Emperor Xian to visit these princes in Guandong, and the first to bear the brunt was naturally Yuan Er, Yuan Da ******** set up a new monarch, and Yuan Er could declare his support for Emperor Xian on various occasions. Of course, all this is his speculation, as for what purpose Wang Yue went to Guandong to Xuzhou, Liu Lan still needs Xu Shu's investigation to be able to accurately grasp the true inside story.

And the third thing is not complicated, but this matter Liu Lan had to talk to Xu Shu alone, and not long after the three left, Liu Lan sent Liu An to call him back again.

He is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, of course, he knows that Xu Shu has an old mother alive, in order to avoid the recurrence of things like Zhen Yan and Zhang Jaw, Liu Lan must prepare in advance, and said thoughtfully: "Are the relatives of Yuanzhi's family alive?" ”

Xu Shu's expression became gloomy, his mother seemed to appear in front of him instantly, and in a trance, he even felt that his voice and smile were so clear, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was about to shout, but he found that the scene became fragmented in an instant, and there was only one lord in front of him, remorse and guilt were instantly written on his face, sighed, and said: "There is still an old mother at home, I don't know why the lord asked?" ”

"Jaw, isn't Zhen Yan's matter vigilant enough?" Liu Lan also laughed as if he was sneering: "Although I believe that Yuan Zhi will not do anything ridiculous, even if he does, it is excusable, not to mention that even Zhang Jaw and Zhongwen can be tolerant." What's more, it's Yuan Zhiyou! ”

If one person does not tolerate it, how can it tolerate the world. Xu Shu had such a sentence in his heart, and said movingly: "The lord has a big heart. If it can accommodate the mountains and thousands of streams, how can it not tolerate people? ”

"You, you!" Liu Lan scolded with a smile, and the embarrassing atmosphere in the field was relieved, and then he said: "Has Yuan Zhi ever thought about taking his mother to Xuzhou?" ”

"I've thought about it, but ......" Xu Shu said as if he was mourning, "Carrying Mount Tai over Beihai, you don't want to, you can't, you are young and vigorous in the past." After killing people with a sword, he had to leave his hometown, and since then he has abandoned the sword to learn literature, and now although he obeys orders in front of the main public account, he is still taken by his hometown, and how dare he easily return to his hometown to pick up his mother? ”

Xu Shu's expression of remorse was also sad in Liu Lan's eyes, he couldn't go back to his home, and he couldn't serve his mother, even if he didn't experience it personally, he could imagine how much suffering a filial son like Xu Shu had endured in the past few days, otherwise Xu Shu would not have given up Liu Bei because of his mother in history.

"I'm not thinking about it. By the way, can your aunt recognize your handwriting? If you can, you see that this will not work, you will write a letter to the family first, and then I will send someone to pick up my aunt with the family letter. In this way, you don't have to show up, and Xuzhou is indeed inseparable from you at present, so that you don't need to return to your hometown and your aunt can arrive in Xuzhou safely. What do you think? ”

"The lord is thoughtful, so I'm going to write a letter to my family!" Xu Shu said a little impatiently

I'm going to Pengcheng tomorrow. When the time comes, you can directly tell Chen Guo to do this, and how to hide it from the local government. And how to arrange to return to Xuzhou, you and Chen Guo first discuss a practical way to do it, don't think about your mother and be hasty because of your mother's heart, if something goes wrong, you will regret that it will be too late!

Chen Guo is Chen Zhi's younger brother, his temperament is very stable, compared to the deputy leader of the pro-soldier back then, and now Xiangping Ling Yan Zhi is still stable, in fact, the latter's temperament is boiled out, and it can be regarded as being forced out by Liu Lan, who follows Liu Lan all the year round, fishing, playing chess, reading books and practicing martial arts, and hones it little by little, which is much stronger than Zhang Fei who followed him early on, but this old father and father forced him to study but practiced a skill in painting ladies and ladies without grinding his temperament, just ask how much he can gain by following him, but Chen Guo is different, Since he came back from Shouchun, he has been by his side, light and dark observation, this kid has a calm mind that surpasses his peers, but in addition, he also has this extremely hot ambition, which makes him even if he is just a little soldier can put in a hundred times the effort, and it is this kind of ambition that is unwilling to succumb to endure will make him finally ascend to the position, of course, what kind of height can he climb in the end, whether he can be like his third brother in the history books, this needs to be marked with a question mark, but Liu Lan has always been full of hope for him, blue out of blue and better than blue? Why is it not possible?

So Liu Lan is just blindly suppressing him now, and when he reaches a critical point, Liu Lan will entrust him with a heavy responsibility, and whether he can soar to the sky at that time depends on whether his cool mind can help him.

~~~~~~~~~

After separating from Xu Shu, Liu Lan took a detour to Mi Zhen's boudoir, there was no one in the room, only a faint sandalwood smoke wafted from the incense burner produced by Yue Yao, which continued to rise and finally disappeared. There is a huge screen in front of the boudoir, and the golden and splendid rivers and mountains attached to it are occasionally illuminated by the sun, shining with dazzling brilliance. On the east wall is a lifelike picture of the phoenix flying around, and on the west wall is a pear blossom wood wardrobe, engraved with many ornaments, although I don't know the doorway, but I can still feel the soft and soft texture and the straight want to protrude the picture, and in front of the dresser is full of various styles of jewelry boxes, the variety is staggering.

The show bed was tidy, the curtains were put away, Liu Lan sat down on the edge of the bed, patiently waiting for Mi Zhen, thinking that she had just sent a hint to ask her to wait for herself, didn't she understand? Otherwise, where would they go now? Or did she understand what she meant early on and deliberately made herself wait at this time?

After sitting for a while, I heard Dongmei outside exclaim: "Miss, the slave and maid obviously closed the door when they left, why is it open at this time?" Have you been robbed? ”

Looking at Dongmei's anxious look of burning eyebrows, Mi Zhen smiled stupidly: "Don't guess, how many path-cutting thieves in this world who don't have long eyes dare to come to the state pastoral mansion to steal?" Behold, a thief is almost a thief, but a thief! After speaking, he pouted and said, "Dongmei, you go down first, I will call you if there is something!" ”

Dongmei also wondered why Miss had to send herself back since she said that there was a thief, and suddenly saw her surging spring tide, and immediately reacted to who would be the person who dared to rampage in this state pastoral mansion, and giggled playfully: "Miss, this day is not reasonable!" "Don't wait for Miss to be angry, she ran away with Luo skirt style.

"Dead Nizi, even dare to make a joke with me, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" Mi Zhen and Dongmei are used to messing around on weekdays, but now the lover is waiting in the house, she can't catch up with Dongmei to mess around regardless of her reserve, and she can't just let the lover who finally came back to hang in the house and continue to wait, with a strange sentence in her mouth, she moved the lotus step into the house.

Mi Zhen entered the house, passed the middle hall and entered the bedroom, looking at Liu Lan sitting on the edge of the bed with a resentful face, like the deep resentful woman, her eyes were blurred but she pouted and said with a small temperament: "It turned out that the lover came, where did the slave family come from!" ”

This little girl has become so mean after being alone for a long time? Liu Lan was a little surprised, but he was still shy, and said with a smile: "Haha, I don't know if it's a master in the world, but you don't know if it's tall or not?" ”

Mi Zhen also turned his face shyly, and only after a while did he say: "Not serious! ”

Liu Lan saw him smiling and smiling, beautiful eyes, like disgust, like resentment, like a strange standing there, like a begonia with rain, more and more aroused his ****, tugging at his heartstrings, came to his side and hugged him in his arms, and was about to warm up, but saw her Yao nose wrinkled, sour and vinegar: "There is a human smell!" ”

"What did you say?" (To be continued.) )
