"Duplicity." Du Yan saw the boiled beef come up, picked up the chopsticks and said disdainfully: "You want to see if the people of Jianghuai and Jiangnan are as happy as you assumed at the beginning after the food problem is solved." I tell you, don't look at it, certainly not; You just say Chang'an, the output has come up, the tax has been reduced, but most of the landlords have increased the rent, and the benefits have fallen into the hands of the landlords, and the ordinary people have not received much benefit, the most important thing is to see your results on Shanyue. ”

Du Yan's words were like a needle, which made Yang Chong a little uncomfortable, and the news collected by Tianqi, Yang Yanda and others from all sides has long proved this, after the material conditions go up, the life of the common people will change limitedly. However, Du Yan was right, Yang Chong's cards were in Shanyue, and Jinling Iron Works was a resounding slap in the face to the Jiangnan Shi clan, and Cui Yao, who was sitting on the side, poured a glass of wine for Yang Chong and asked: "Didn't Shangshu Province stipulate the proportion of rent collection below, don't they put it in their eyes?" ”

Du Yan said bitterly: "If the following has an effect, then what else do you need officials to do." Shangshu Province itself is reluctant to this matter, since Xu Kang and they were transferred, Chang'an and Wannian's new county orders did not dare to provoke the gate lord Haoqiang; In fact, even if Xu Kang and the others are still there, those people can also use the yin and yang contract to fool the government, after all, there are so many things in the local area, and there are not so many manpower to investigate. ”

Yang Chong said decisively: "You can't increase officials, governing the country is like cooking a small fresh, the most taboo is ten sheep and nine herds, once it reaches that point, it will really be all over." still consider replacing the county orders of Chang'an and Wannian counties, and transfer Lu Junye and Niu Fangyu to Beijing to serve as county commanders of the two counties; Yuan Shao and Gao Yuanli were transferred to the prison generals, and Chang He and Niu Jinda were transferred to Cheng to bite the gold department as Huya Lang generals. As for auditing accounts, in a few years, a large number of school graduates will come out, and there will be officials who will audit the accounts. ”

Du Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly, worrying in vain, in fact, Yang Chong had already prepared, but today he made a mistake for himself; Du Yanxiao pointed at Yang Chong, shook his head and said: "Then you have to help me arrange two people, one is the criminal department member Wailang Zhi Huaidao, Huaidao had the name of prudence when he was the head of the ministry, when the Holy Son of Heaven went down to Jiangdu, all the officials echoed it, but Huaidao was against it. The other is Gao Hyo-gi's son, Gao Chong. ”

Gao Xiaoji was Du Yan's benefactor back then, and recommended Du Yan to become an officer, and Du Yan also had this identity that he was brought to Gaochang by Yang Chong to serve, and since then he has been moving all the way; Zhi Huaidao didn't know who it was, but the person who dared to oppose Yang Guang in person must have some courage and vision, Yang Chong nodded and said: "No problem, let the two of you go to Jiangnan with me first, it's just that you are the secretary of the ministry, why don't you recommend Liu Linfu?" ”

Liu Linfu was appointed by Li Yuan when he was in Chang'an, and he was in charge of secrets and known for his talents; After Yang Chong entered Chang'an, Liu Linfu surrendered and was transferred to the Ministry of Officials as a foreign officer, and the selection of people was prudent, fair, and knew the lessons of people, and many people said that Liu Linfu was the second Gao Xiaoji. Du Yan said bluntly: "Same as what you mean by transferring Chang He, Liu Linfu is not one of our people, and he can't be used at present." ”

Yang Chongran was silent, Du Yan said no problem, now Liu Linfu only has the power to choose people, and he can't see anything wrong, once he mentions the position of someone who can be appointed, if he is not of the same mind as himself, and specially promotes some independent and special people, it is nothing to do. The appointment of several people caught Shangshu Province off guard, the county order was arranged by the county Cheng Zhuge Jiahui, the general of the prison gate was arranged by the Privy Council, and the Yue Wangfu and the Ministry of Officials approved a document, and even the discussion in the political hall was saved.

It is inevitable that there will be dissatisfaction in the political affairs hall, but the attitude of Yuan Wei and Yang Wang is that Yang Chong has the final say in everything, Du Fuwei's identity is embarrassing, and no one else can interject, so they have to acquiesce. With the words, everyone who was mobilized set off one after another, although Niu Jinda and Chang He were reluctant in their hearts, but their families secretly told that this was a good opportunity to get out of the circle of right and wrong, and although befriending Du Fuwei looked beautiful for a while, the final result was worrying; Wang Ting and Cheng Yanjin are both people valued by Yang Chong, and they will make contributions in the future, and their future is limitless.

After Lu Junye arrived in Chang'an, he immediately went to the Yue Wangfu to meet Yang Chong, Lu Junye understood that the step of Chang'an County Order was very important to him, which was equivalent to no longer Wang Shichong's old minister, and giving an official was like a consolation prize, but really hopeful of returning to the high-level. Yang Chong didn't see him, but just asked Zheng Cheng to come forward to receive him. The two have been colleagues under Wang Shichong for two years, and Zheng Ying said bluntly: "Chang'an is rampant, King Yue hopes that the county order can manage things well, Lord Lu will let it go, as long as it is really for the people, if there is anything, Zhuge Juncheng and Yue Wangfu will help you bear it." ”

Who doesn't know that Brother Zhuge and Yang Chong are a family, thinking of his cousin Lu Yanqing's letter, Lu Junye understands that he must take a stand, otherwise he will fall into a storm in Chang'an sooner or later in the future. Since the two can only choose one, Lu Junye's life was saved by Yang Chong, and the official position was Yang Chongfeng's, so how could there be a choice; Lu Junye said angrily: "The lower officials understand, please ask Lord Zheng to tell the king of Yue, and the lower officials will definitely live up to the love of the king of Yue, maintain the order of Chang'an, and benefit the people." ”

Zheng Ying nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "King Yue has confidence in adults. There is just one thing that needs Lord Lu's help, and that is the matter of the martial arts. ”

Lu Junye heard that Yang Chongdu pardoned Pei Lin and others, but he refused to let go of the unknown warrior Tong alive or dead, and the martial artist had business dealings with Yang Chong. Wu Shi Tong was locked up in the secret location of the Hundred Cavalry Battalion, and no one could see him, and some people in Luoyang discussed that it was probably because Wu Shi Tong shouldered a certain trust of the Li family and was discovered by the Hundred Cavalry Battalion, so there would be this result.

Lu Junye understood that this was a vote, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Zheng, please speak." ”

Zheng Ying whispered: "Wu Shi Tong is related to the Qin Wangfu case back then, his father was responsible for supplying the tofu of the Qin Wangfu at that time, it is said that the Qin princess is very fond of eating tofu banquets, and she must eat tofu at every meal." The Cui family found two cooks and a maidservant girl back then, saying that every time the Wu family sent a piece of tofu was specially for Princess Qin, which was very suspicious, and the Yang Mansion also made tofu, there was no such thing as making a small piece of tofu at all, unless there was an article in the tofu. The tofu workshop of the samurai family is in Chang'an County. ”

The squirrel farm sells tofu, and the judgment on this will not be wrong, as for why the Baiqi Battalion did not check and came forward by itself, there must be another reason; Lu Junye has been in the sea for a long time, and he is not a person who is afraid of things, so he said: "King Yue wants to find out the news in the martial arts, and I will arrange someone to investigate this matter after I take office." ”
