(Recommended reading: The allies are in full swing, but Lu Hanqiang, who is blocked behind Qi Fei's buttocks, has ushered in a special guest - Yao Tongxin, the prefect of Zezhou. Yao Tongxin's visit greatly surprised Lu Hanqiang.

Yao Tongxin was in a small hat in a green coat, only with a little scholar, and he chased after him on a donkey.

The reason why Yao Tongxin is dressed like this is because according to the rules of the country, he is an official in one place, and he cannot leave the office without authorization from his superiors, which is a big crime, but as a scribe, he can travel around the country, what is this called? It's called a study tour, and there are policies and countermeasures under the high-sounding sound.

In fact, Lu Hanqiang and Yao Tongxin are not very familiar with the prefect, Lu Hanqiang passed by Zezhou (now Jincheng) several times, and did not visit this prefect, because according to Lu Hanqiang's ideas, to achieve the level of the prefect, they are definitely from Jinshi, and according to the standards of the national dynasty, the officials have to be in different places, almost the people from the south go to the north to become officials, and most of the people in the north go to the south, so as to avoid nepotism, therefore, since this Yao Tongxin is a southerner, he is a dead friend of Donglin, since he is a dead friend of Donglin, Of course, you regard yourself as a revenge, since people regard you as a revenge, you are looking for a cup of tea and chatting with Kou, not only to add blockage to yourself, but also to others. When he managed and rectified the guards, when Zezhou was flying all over the sky, Lu Hanqiang was even more reluctant to see any prefect, which had nothing to do with his prefect.

I didn't expect that when I was stationed outside this time, people actually caught up, did I want to use righteousness to persuade myself not to kill the pole? Name his "Aiki" theory of Inspector Yang He?

But when Lu Hanqiang first met Yao Tongxin outside the big tent, his first impression was very good.

Yao Tongxin's southerner and northerner portrait, tall and straight, without the iconic big-bellied naan in the current officialdom, a clear face, no blue gray caused by excessive wine of officials, a pair of bright eyes, and three strands of beard under the chin are still not messy although they are covered with wind and dust, and the whole look makes people feel capable.

Seeing that Lu Hanqiang came out to greet him in person, Yao Tongxin hurriedly walked a few steps forward, bowed down and saluted the student: "Student Yao Tongxin has seen Master Inspector. ”

This student is not the meaning of those guys in official uniforms flattering Lu Hanqiang, but a kind of self-proclaimed among scribes, and this peaceful tone brings the relationship between the two closer.

Lu Hanqiang hurriedly handed over his hands again and again, "Mr. Yao-condescending, there is a disappointment, atonement for his sins, hurry to the back account to narrate." "Since people come to see him as a scribe, if he greets him as a supervisor, it will be embarrassing, because according to his identity, he is the third Qincha, he has to kneel down for himself, and then he is a five-grade petty official, and he has to kneel back for these four-grade officials, so that it is dark and he can't figure out this twist and turn, therefore, Lu Hanqiang asked him to speak later, which means that we will talk about it in the same year, or something, as for the good and bad, it will be said when we talk. But it's better to make a long story short, and now that the big war is about to begin, wouldn't it be a waste of time to talk too much nonsense.

For this Donglin party member, he is still estranged from the leader of the lonely party, and in principle, the two are enemies.

Let Hua Shuliang accompany the adult to the back account first, and then turn around and take off his official uniform and put on his regular clothes, and then enter the back account.

In the back tent, Hua Shuliang was chatting and drinking tea with this Mr. Yao, and when he saw Lu Hanqiang coming in, he stood up and retired.

Yao Tongxin saw that Lu Hanqiang had changed into his regular clothes to see him, and he couldn't help but smile with relief in his heart, and then apologized again: "It's inconvenient to see each other in the place where the place of governance is, so I have to ride a donkey in plainclothes to chase Mr. Lu, which is really offensive." ”

Lu Hanqiang smiled faintly: "Understand, sir, please sit down, please tea." ”

Yao Tongxin sat down with a smile, and his waist was as straight as a soldier, which was somewhat unexpected by Lu Hanqiang.

took a sip of tea, and then it was the prefect who spoke first, "This time the student took the liberty to come, but it was Mr. Lu who asked for it." ”

"Please?" Lu Hanqiang was stunned. Feelings are still worried about their own money and food, this is the consensus of the current officials in Shanxi, they all open grain stores either behind their backs or in the name of their families, and now as long as they get grain in Lu Hanqiang's hands, it is the interest of seven or eight dollars of silver with one stone, which is more violent than robbery. Robbery may also rob a person who is poorer than a robber, and now there is a great drought in the north, and there is a shortage of food, at this time it is Lu Hanqiang who has food, and Lu Hanqiang actually only let the royal commercial houses around the country sell it in order to stabilize prices, and others can't intervene at all.

And the grain sold by those royal trading houses was all snapped up by the eight Jin merchants, and it couldn't flow into the hands of others at all, so all the Shanxi officials avoided all the Shanxi officials and colleagues, or came in person, or asked someone to come to Lu Hanqiang to ask for food, it seems that this Yao Tongxin is the same.

So Lu Hanqiang took stock in his heart, and was ready to give this prefect with a good sense of how much quota he wanted, after all, he still wanted to use the grain in his hand to pit the eight merchants of Shanxi and Jin.

As a result, as soon as Yao Tongxin's words came out, they greatly surprised Lu Hanqiang.

"I implore Mr. Lu to save the nearly 10,000 military households in the four counties of Zezhou that were laid off by you."

Lu Hanqiang was completely stunned, didn't this prefect want to give him a grain quota by himself? "10,000 military households? What's wrong with the 10,000 military households, didn't I give those guards a year's worth of money and food as severance expenses when I laid off them? Isn't that enough for them to live? ”

"My Mr. Lu." Yao Tongxin couldn't help but lose the faint smile on his face, which was always peaceful, and said with a wry smile: "You are Gaoyi, you have repaid the military salary of those soldiers who are still in the army for one year, and twelve taels of silver per person is really a lot, but look at it, what is the price of food at this time?" One or two and a half dollars and a stone, this is still I don't allow foreign grain merchants to buy the grain you send, but I can't do anything about the local grain merchants, I beg the local grain merchants to have this price, you calculate, twelve taels of silver, even if those soldiers don't take it to pay off the debt, but it's only enough for them to chew for a year, what about a year later? ”

Lu Hanqiang frowned, but he was unhappy in his heart, I was in accordance with the holy decree to rectify the guard, I can't raise a group of idlers who don't have a little combat effectiveness, even if I have enough money and food to leave them for training, it is difficult to return, and habits become natural, and when the time comes, I can't train such a strong soldier, just like the state-owned enterprise reform in later generations, no matter how you change, if you don't change it in people, the inertia of people who are used to eating a big pot of rice in the end will still drag down that enterprise, lay off, re-recruit, and stand up after breaking is really a good way.

"Didn't you restore their citizenship so that they could work freely or work the land, or at least become tenants?" But he said in his heart: "Those people are under your rule, their food and clothing, that's your parents' business, I can't control it, I can't throw it to me if anyone wants to lose their burdens, then I won't be the emperor?" This Da Ming is not mine, why should I carry it for you. ”

Seeing that Lu Hanqiang was a little impatient, Yao Tongxin lowered his figure again and began to call Brother Lu Hanqiang, "My Brother Lu."

In the four counties of Zezhou (Jincheng), there are only 2,000 people who have been dismissed by your school, but in fact, in these four counties, there have been more than 10,000 military households in these four counties for hundreds of years. As soon as you let go, you will release more than 10,000 homeless people, and I want to learn your methods these times, what to do to stimulate the economy to settle them, but I don't hide it from my brother, I am really a shallow learner, and I am tired of drawing tigers and cats, not only will I work hard to beg my grandfather to tell my grandmother to get all the money into it, but there is not even a sound of water, now more than 10,000 military households, nearly 50,000 people are helpless, I can't watch them become homeless, so my brother is cheeky to come to beg you, help them, I am here to give you a gift. As he spoke, his eyes were slightly red, and he really stood up and saluted Lu Hanqiang respectfully.

Lu Hanqiang was stunned at that time, not because of his gift, but because of his love for the people. Could it be that this Ming is still the same anomaly as himself?

For a good official who can do things and wants to do things, Lu Hanqiang is full of admiration in his heart, so he quickly stood up and supported him with both hands: "Don't dare to be an old gentleman's gift, let's talk slowly if there is something." ”

From the new seat, this time Lu Hanqiang did not hold it up, and asked with a serious expression: "Old brother." At this time, Lu Hanqiang also changed his name, and personally poured a cup of tea for Yao Tongxin: "How can my brother learn my method?" "His own method is almost from the later generations, he can be self-taught, then he is really either a genius, or a traverser, according to the iron law that can not be worn twice, it is necessary to put some crane top red or something in the tea.

As a result, Yao Tongxin said with a wry smile: "It's just a handan toddler, the result is plausible, the toddler can't be done, and he can't even climb." After saying this, he shook his head with a wry smile: "At the beginning, I saw that the land was prosperous, although I did not have a wharf, but there was still a coal mine, so I gathered the local gentry, learned the methods of the royal trading house, and everyone collected a sum of money to develop the local coal minerals, mainly employing the original military households you dismissed to work, at the beginning it was okay, your honeycomb coal production is simple, sold to the local citizens in the city, and there is a certain income, but you take the most profitable coke, I will not hide it from you, I also sent someone to your coke factory to steal the teacher to learn the art." Therefore, the more than 2,000 absentees who were originally hired could not be used to save so much coal, and now only 500 are still there, and the gentry have not returned to their investment, and they are still losing money, so I am considered a failure, so this time I came quietly to ask for help. Then he stood up again and bowed deeply to Lu Hanqiang: "I beg Mr. Lu no matter what, for the sake of nearly 50,000 helpless people, pull the brothers." ”

For such a good official who loves the people and is so diligent, Lu Hanqiang still has deep sympathy and praise, so he pressed him again with a smile and said: "The old gentleman loves the people so much, and he has not driven away 100,000 people, he is a good official, of course I want to help with this favor, but I don't want to announce my coke formula on a large scale for the time being, so I can only send some of my manpower to you after the war to help establish the carbon field. This is a big problem. ”

With Lu Hanqiang's permission, Yao Tongxin couldn't help laughing happily and clapped his hands on each other: "In this way, 50,000 people have been saved." ”

"Brother and slow to be happy, there are still many things to be done here, that is, a management thing is a problem, I established a foundation in Pinglu, and recruited displaced people here for disaster relief, but I can't go to your long-term jurisdiction, this is a big problem."

This is indeed the case, "Especially my identity, in your Donglin, belongs to people who hate dogs, I really went to you, I can't say that Shanxi will give you and me a problem, this has to be investigated." ”

"That's true." Yao Tongxin couldn't help frowning, and he didn't know whether he was talking about the difficulties here or the people Lu Hanqiang said hated dogs.

"Nearly 100,000 people need to be saved, and things must not be done to those guys who only talk about it, this really has to think of a way to get the best of both worlds."

Lu Hanqiang smiled with satisfaction, and with this bombastic comment, this Yao Tongxin can completely become his friend, at least an ally.

When he was looking forward to the future in the new area, Lu Hanqiang said that sooner or later his coke business would expand outward, firstly, to let the silver in the south flow north, secondly, to let the silver buried in the ground by the rich households in the north circulate again, third, to use the mineral resources in the north to activate the economy, and more importantly, to replace agriculture with industry, and resettle a large number of people, so as to resolve the contradiction of land annexationThis will allow the vast number of peasants to take a breath, this is a virtuous circle, this is a step that must be taken, but because of the current disaster relief training, as well as the future resistance to the Jiannu Emperor Taiji, a large amount of money is urgently needed to keep the formula secret, so that in the shortest possible time, access to a huge amount of money and grain in the south, money and grain is the guarantee of victory in the Houjin battle, this is a top priority.

Looking at Yao Tongxin, who was anxiously pacing on the ground, Lu Hanqiang still couldn't bear it, but what could he do if he couldn't bear it, and it could only be like this.

After a long time, Yao Tongxin suddenly stopped, and took Lu Hanqiang's hand with blazing eyes: "If I settle all these original military households in Yangcheng County, where the Yellow River is also extended, a wharf can also be built." ”

Lu Hanqiang nodded, but still shook his head, Zezhou is a state directly under the Shanxi Political Division, and he still can't worry about it.

At this time, Yao Tongxin stomped his feet, looked around, and saw the map of the four prefectures hanging in Lu Hanqiang's back account, so he withdrew it, pressed it directly on the table, and pointed to Yangcheng and said firmly: "I will settle this group of refugees in Yangcheng, and then find an excuse to write to the political secretary Xiang Banzai, and assign Yangcheng to Pinglu, and Pinglu will talk about the surrounding counties from Yancheng and upgraded to states, won't everything be solved?" ”

This is a good official who truly loves the people and serves the people, and this is a good official who does not care about personal gains and losses. At the same time, this method also made Lu Hanqiang's eyes light up, if this is the case, then his goal can not only be achieved, but also keep it secret for another period of coke time, which is really a great thing.

Tightly grasping this selfless good official, Lu Hanqiang shook violently: "This is wronged Brother Yao." ”

Seeing Lu Hanqiang agree, Yao Tongxin laughed: "Death in state affairs, of course." If I can save the country, how about letting me be a county magistrate under Lord Lu? ”
