Chapter 430: Xiahou Lan (2)

The phoenix chick flew away!

Dong remained in Anyi and did not leave immediately, .qВ5, C0M

After the war, there was a need for a period of recuperation everywhere. Newly occupied areas, in particular, need officials to govern them.

But where did Dong come from and transfer so many officials?

There are a lot of talents in hand, but most of them are still very young. It may be possible to deal with specific matters, but if you want to control one side, it is not a simple thing. Qualifications and knowledge are indispensable. Gu Yong has sent people countless times to urge Dong to go back, but Dong has never said the exact time to return to Chang'an. It's no wonder that Gu Yong can't solve the matter, can he solve it?

Not to mention that the territory under his rule has expanded several times compared to four years ago.

Only in the east of Hedong, where he is now, there are many troubles. The most important of these is that the former Hedong Taishou Ma Qiao was transferred to Yanmen County, so that Hedong County is now leaderless, and government affairs are piled up, but there is no suitable candidate to take over, which is very troublesome.

Yanmen County is very important, but Hedong is also very important.

Although there are enough officials at the grassroots level, there is no one at the helm, and it is never a long-term thing.

Pang Tong is gone, and there is only one Li Kui left by Dong's side, and even Dong himself feels that the people around him are not enough.

Changan......

Let Gu Yong and Chen Gong take it again.

If they can solve the problem best, but they can't solve it, then they can only draw people from the county school to see if they can solve the problem.

Today, there are 27 county schools under Dong's rule, with more than 3,000 students.

According to the "Minutes of Three Studies" left by Huang Shao, these 3,000 students can act as middle-level officials in the future, and as for the people who can really be on the stage after graduating from the county school, the number will not be too many. One out of a hundred. Already a very optimistic result.

But that's still a wait!

In the middle of summer, the willows are green; The Fen water flows and flows into the big river.

It was a rare good day, after a heavy rain. It adds a bit of coolness to the hot summer. Dong Beidi gave birth to You Xing, took Meng Tan, Pei Yuanshao, Han De and Li Kui, and forty or fifty followers, rode out of Anyi, and went to the suburbs.

A group of people in fresh clothes and angry horses galloped on the official road.

Along the way, you can only see lush greenery. It's quite refreshing.

As there has been no war in Hedong for several years, the population is also increasing. People who fled their homes are now returning to their hometowns.

The barren fields have become prosperous again.

Watching the farmers busy, Dong Di was extremely happy. This is my rule, and all these things have been brought upon them by me.

It's a pride from the heart!

For Dong. Although the imprint of the future generations has continued to fade away with the passage of time, it has always maintained a pure state of mind.

Dozens of miles out of the city. And he saw a great multitude gathered together.

It is close to the Tiao Mountain, and to the southwest is the salt prison. To be precise, although this place is under the rule of Anyi, it is actually under the care of Xia County. As the seat of the county seat of Hedong, the land under the rule of Anyi is very large. Something that needs to be dealt with. It's also very complicated.

Most of the time, the Anya Order can't do it all.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Emperor. The surrounding counties will consciously classify a part of the adjacent Anyi territory as their own.

For example, north of Anyi, the land that crosses the water is basically taken care of by Wen Xiling. The same is true for Xia County, which has become an unwritten regulation.

Seeing so many people gathered around, Dong couldn't help but feel curious.

So let Li Kui go over to inquire, and after a while, he saw that the crowd was separated, and a young man hurriedly followed behind Li Kui, came to Dong Ma, and intervened to salute, "Xia County ordered Liang Xi, I don't know that the metropolitan governor is coming, and I am not welcome, and I ask the metropolitan governor to forgive my sins." ”

This Liang Xi, who is around thirty years old, has a white skin, but because of the long-term sunbath, it is bronze.

This also made his originally very elegant bearing, adding a heroic atmosphere. Although he was dressed as a scribe, his service looked shabby.

There are calluses on the hands, the knuckles are thick, and it looks a little rustic.

When Dong saw this young man, he smiled! Judging from the color of his skin, this is not a local official who spends all day in the government. The bronze color must have been stained by walking around all year round. He was about seven feet eight inches tall, with patches on his shoes and calluses on his hands, which were formed by martial arts training at that time.

Because when Liang Xi was cramped in saluting, some clues could be seen from the movements of his hands.

Dong doesn't like to stay in the house all day, but he doesn't pay attention to the people's feelings, and he is a deciding person without field investigations. Although Liang Xidi has a rustic atmosphere, Dong likes it. Such people may be the real officials who share the worries of the people.

"Liang Xi?"

Dong turned over and dismounted, looked at the crowd not far away who were looking here, and smiled: "What's wrong, how can there be so many people gathered together?" ”

Liang Xi hurriedly replied: "Qiyu Metropolitan Governor, these people gathered here to ask the yamen to help them resume their business. ”

"Resumption?"

"Exactly!" Liang Xi gradually got rid of the previous restraints and replied: "Most of the governors don't know that in the early years, there was a war in Jizhou in Guanzhong, and the people in Hedong lost a lot. In the past two years, due to the gradual stabilization of Guanzhong Hedong, many people have returned to their hometowns. However, the land has been barren, and the assistance of the county yamen is needed to rebuild the homeland...... However, since the beginning of the previous year, it has ......"

"But what?" Dong seemed to understand, and asked in a deep voice, "Liang Xi, it's okay for you to say it." ”

"Because of the repeated wars of the Metropolitan Governor, all parts of Guanzhong are poor in materials. In addition, Xinde Hanoi, Jingzhao, and the secluded places, officials of all sizes were transferred out one after another, and even the materials that belonged to Hedong were also taken away, resulting in the current embarrassment of Hedong. ”

Behind Dong, there are Meng Tan, Pei Yuanshao, Han De and others, although they are not well-educated, but they are also coarse in writing and ink.

Hearing Liang Xi's words, he couldn't help but gasp. This Liang Xi is clearly accusing Dong of his behavior in the past two years, which has the meaning of being reckless. This is also the plan made for Chang'an. A kind of accusation. I can't get it. It's going to be decapitated.

Meng Tan and the others were all from poor families, and when they heard Liang Xi speak like this, they were all a little worried about him.

It can be seen that this Liang Xi is a good official. If it angers Dong because of this. It is a big loss for the people and Guanzhong.

Meng Tan hurriedly shouted: "Bold Liang Xi, Chang'an's strategy, how can you evaluate it?" ”

Dong frowned, turned his head and narrowed his eyes, which frightened Meng Tan in his heart, and his fluttering heartbeat accelerated a lot for a while.

Today's Dong is more and more majestic.

Even if you don't speak. But the slightest action can be intimidating. This may be the temperament of being in the top position for a long time.

On the contrary, it was Liang Xi, who puffed up his chest after saying this.

Dong looked at this person up and down, and suddenly said, "Since this is the case, why don't you go to the imperial court." Requesting improvements? ”

Liang Xi said: "If you don't want to be a lower official, you really can't." Last year, there was a fierce battle in the sun. Hanoi is newly determined, with less grain and grass and material support. If the supply to the east of the river is cut off, Hanoi will inevitably be in chaos. And the Metropolitan Governor and Luoyang, who did not know the suffering in Guanzhong, blindly sought war. It was not done by Ming Gong. ”

I've offended you anyway. It's the same for both life and death.

Liang Xi puffed up his chest and looked at Dong. There is no fear at all.

Dong was expressionless, his eyes were half-closed, and after staring at Liang Xi for a moment, he suddenly said, "Take him away, let's go back to Anyi." ”

"The Metropolitan Governor's men have mercy!"

The surrounding people hurriedly stepped forward to plead. They already knew that the man in front of them, who was as burly as a lion, was the general of the tiger and wolf.

Seeing that Dong was going to take Liang Xi away, everyone hurriedly came up to plead.

Dong's face sank, "You won't disperse immediately." Liang Xi's approval of government affairs is not the work of his subordinates. The country has its own laws, and you can't understand it. Every man goes back to his own house, and I know the afflictions of you. The court will have its own solution, don't say more, leave quickly. ”

Although the people had the heart to intercede for Liang Xi, when Dong spoke, the awe-inspiring murderous aura made people dare not speak out.

Liang Xi was not afraid, and returned to Anyi with Dong and his party.

After Dong changed his clothes, he asked Liang Xi to be brought to the hall......

"Liang Xi, you are a smart person. Now that the war is over, people are at peace, but you criticize the government, do you want to create chaos? ”

Liang Xi just wanted to be happy for a while, but ignored what Dong said. When I heard this, I was stunned at first, and I couldn't help but sweat coldly.

Indeed, in front of the public, he criticized the measures of the imperial court, which was inevitably suspected of provoking people's hearts.

Dong lightly tapped his fingers on the table, "Your behavior can be killed if you are guilty." But I know that you are also dedicated to the people. Now that you've pointed out the drawbacks, is there a solution? If there is no solution, then I will kill you immediately for the crime of demagoguery! ”

Liang Xi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The lower official's mouth is a capital crime." However, the Metropolitan Governor said that the solution was a solution, and the lower officials had some ideas. ”

"Speak!"

Liang Xi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There are thousands of miles of fertile soil in the east of the river, and the population is extremely abundant now. What is lacking is only money, food and materials. Xia Guan also knows that the imperial court is also short of money and food now, and it will be difficult to solve it for a while. Therefore, Xia Guan came up with a method. ”

Dong Dao: "What way?" ”

"Hedong has a lot of resources, especially the salt pond. It's just that the salt ponds are mined and sold, but it's extremely chaotic...... Why didn't the governor set up the salt pond as an official property, and then set up an envoy to supervise the sale. In this way, the imperial court could collect salt taxes from it to buy farm tools to plough cattle and supply them to the returnees. In this way, the returned people can resume farming and rebuild their homes, and the imperial court will not have to spend half a cent, and it will be able to replenish the treasury in the future. ”

Dong is definitely a layman in this way of governance.

However, listening to what Liang Xi said seems interesting, maybe it can really solve the current problems in Hedong.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Liang Xi, you said so much, it sounds good." But I just want to know, if I appoint you as the Taishou of Hedong, how long will it take to solve the current embarrassment of Hedong? Don't talk to me in vain, I want to listen to the truth. ”

Liang Xi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said loudly: "Three years, if Xi is too guarded, it only takes three years to restore the scene of Emperor Huan in Hedong." Without any assistance from the imperial court, just give Xi a decree, and Xi can do this. After three years, Hedong will pay the full tax. ”

Dong pondered for a moment, "In that case, you immediately give me a charter." All the requirements can be made...... Liang Xi, if you say three years, I will give you three years. If, after three years, you can't do it, I will never be merciful, and you will have to give your head when the time comes. ”

"Xi, I am willing to make a military order!"

Dong nodded and let Liang Xi leave.

Then he turned his head to Li Kui and said, "How about it, if I order this person to serve as the Taishou of Hedong, what about it?" ”

In government affairs, Dong will never act alone. Most of the time, he would ask the opinions of his staff before making a decision.

In the past, Dong had Pang Tong and Huang Xu by his side.

Now, Li Kui plays the role of a staff member......

Li Kui thought for a while, "What this person said is also feasible. If it can really succeed, it can be implemented not only in Hedong, but also in Guanzhong, Liangzhou and other places. But whether it's really possible or not, we need to think about it again. After all, there seems to have been no precedent for such a thing earlier. ”

Dong closed his eyes in contemplation, and after a while, stood up.

"In my name, you go to Chang'an. Let's just say that I will set up a salt supervisor in Yanchi, appoint Liang Xi as the Taishou of Hedong, and set up a lieutenant in Anyi, and Liang Xi will also be ...... Well, just like this, you ask Meng Tan and them to prepare, and we will return to Chang'an in three days. ”

Li Kui immediately took the order and left.

Dong was in the hall, but he fell into deep thought.

If Liang Xi's approach can work, then the resources of Guanzhong and the secluded land can be greatly utilized.

You must know that Dong Di has a lot of resources in his hands. A single horse and a weapon can make the pass a great benefit.

Prior to this, horses and weapons were contraband.

Xuzhou Elk's family, Xichuan Zhang's family, and Zhongshan's Zhen family...... and so on, although it is involved, but in fact it is still restricted by Dong.

However, it is better to be blocked.

No matter how strict you are, there will always be loopholes. In this case, I simply opened up the horse weapons, and of course the secret of the core was always in my hands. I just need to be one step ahead of you, that's enough. At the same time, it can also bring me great rewards, so why not?

It's just that these materials must be run by the government, and good merchants must be selected at the same time.

Who should you choose?

Dong patted his head lightly and sat in the hall...... After a long time, he suddenly snorted, and a smile appeared on his face.

That's it!

Dong muttered to himself.

Note, to be precise, the method of the Yanchi official office originated from the hands of Wei Qian during the Three Kingdoms. For details, you can search for the word Baidu Weiqi.
