"Zhao Yin, how is the inventory of this batch of belongings and utensils!" On the way back home, Zhao Jie opened his mouth to ask Zhao Yindao.

Zhao Yin took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, browsed them roughly, and then replied: "The goods that arrived this time include the profits of Cuiweixuan branches in various places in the past year, some weapons developed by His Royal Highness's special order iron forging, and a large amount of paper sent by Handan Paper Mill. The people who arrived this time included the blacksmith sent by the Zhuo clan, some workers in the paper mill, some unambitious students in Handan, a few disciples of Pingyuan Jun, and a large number of poor people in Handan. ”

Zhao Yin paused, flipped through the paper in his hand, and then added: "Count the goods transported twice and the people who arrived, and then you can know that the things ordered by His Highness in the letter have almost been completed." ”

"So fast! I didn't think it would be done until next year! Zhao Jie gave Zhao Yin a thumbs up, praised him without thinking, and then muttered to himself: "Once the weather warms up, I can show my ambitions."

The horses were slowly marching towards the county government under the control of Zhao Jie, and Zhao Jie's heart couldn't help but feel happy.

When Zhao Jie walked into the alley where the county government was located, a familiar shout sounded: "Brother Mo, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I've been fine lately." ”

Zhao Jie fixed his eyes and saw that it was Zhao Ying, the young son of Pingyuan Jun, who was standing at the gate of the mansion and shouting. "Why are you here?" Zhao Jie hurriedly dismounted, walked up to Zhao Ying and asked, "Does your father know?" ”

Zhao Ying nodded, and then continued: "My father asked me to come and practice, and by the way, I will help you share your official duties. ”

"No wonder there were a few of your father's protégés on this trip." Zhao Jie suddenly realized: "It turns out that they were sent by your father to supervise and help you!" ”

"If you say that, you don't treat me as a relative, I help you work, and they work for me, isn't it equivalent to them assisting you in governing Pingcheng County?"

"It's that I'm thinking too much, and since that's the case, then I'll be gracious!" Zhao Jie thanked him, and then said to Zhao Ying with a smile: "Enter the mansion!" I'll take it personally! ”

The next day, the snow fell, the wind howled, and the sky and the earth were covered in silver. Standing under the eaves, watching the goose feathers and heavy snow falling from the sky, Zhao Jie couldn't help but feel glad for the timely arrival of Zhao Ying and others.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Winter is the season when most creatures in nature recuperate, and humans are no exception. The cold and harsh weather conditions in the Northland have forced humans to lie dormant in their houses, warming themselves around burning firewood, and Zhao Jie is no exception.

Time passed little by little, the temperature rose little by little, and after a long, long period of time, human traces gradually appeared in the streets and alleys of Heijo. The cold winter has finally passed, and the breath of spring spreads in Pingcheng.

With the gradual thawing of the lake, the follow-up construction of Pingcheng is in full swing again, smelting workshops have risen from the ground, shops have begun to open their doors, and the whole Pingcheng is a thriving scene.

"Brother Mo, this is the plan I spent a winter and sorted out according to our discussions, about the construction and management of the field. This plan is the crystallization of the wisdom of the two of us, you must bring it to Shanwu City, you must ask Li Mu to approve it, otherwise I will not spare you! Zhao Ying threw a wad of paper to Zhao Jie, and then said solemnly with a little seriousness.

"Don't worry! I will definitely make you the first official in charge of my Pingcheng County, and at the same time, you will also become the first trade officer of my Zhao Kingdom. Zhao Jie smiled without thinking and said, "But you still need to wait patiently for a while!" ”

"Your Highness, this is the training plan for Pingcheng according to your orders, which is divided into six major contents, namely recruitment, military system, training, combat, rewards and punishments, and weapons. This time, His Highness went to see General Li Mu, and handed it over to him by the way! Please do your best to get him to approve it. ”

"The major affairs of the country are in Rong. I will continue to pay attention to the matter of Pingcheng's soldiers; I have full confidence that I can get Li Mu's promise and promise. Hearing this, Zhao Jie continued to reply: "I'm not in Pingcheng these days. Alone, you will first set up the recruiting racks, and carefully select the people of Dawn who come to enlist. ”

After meeting the county officials one by one and handing over all the chores in the county to them, Zhao Jie patted his horse and went to Shanwu City.

Shanwu City is still the same as before, there is no major change, and the vicissitudes of life are its urban connotation. Citizens who have washed off their tiredness shuttle through the crowd, preparing the necessities of life for the new year. Several samurai made their way through the crowd, struggling to keep their master safe.

"Master Ping, long time no see!" After Zhao Jie found peace in the crowd, he greeted him with his hand: "With the dignity of the king, why are you wandering on the street." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Mo, I haven't seen you for a long time." Ping'an also saw Zhao Jie when he heard the sound, so he also said hello: "I was ordered by the county guard to go to the street to direct the flow of people to prevent theft and abduction." ”

Ping An paused, and then continued: "Brother Mo is here to report to the adults!" Your Excellency is now in the house, and all the county orders in Yanmen County have arrived, so it's up to you. ”

"Thanks for the reminder! I'm going to get there! Zhao Jie thanked him, and then hurriedly abandoned his horse and ran towards the county guard

In the county guard's mansion, a group of officials from Yanmen County gathered together, and everyone was chattering about some experiences in governing the place.

"Everyone, be quiet, the county keeper has something to say!" The little servant shouted loudly, and the voice in the hall became much quieter.

"Guys, if, I mean if." Li Mu paused and emphasized: "What if I move the seat of Yanmen County to Pingcheng? ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent for an instant. "No! This is a move that costs the people and money, please think twice. The officials from Shanwucheng unanimously persuaded him.

"Just relocate the government and its affiliated institutions to Pingcheng, and only our officials are troubled, how can it be called a waste of money and labor!" Li Mu explained.

"My lord, once the government is moved to Pingcheng, the arrangement of the army will inevitably need to be adjusted, and at the same time, the people will follow suit, and the rumors that the government has given up on Shanwucheng will prevail, and the people are likely to cause riots, so it is not a waste of money and money, or something." The county magistrate of Mayi County ordered Lou to go to illness and oppose Li Mudao.
