Xinghua City, Shandong Province.

Zhang Shunzhi put down the file in his hand, slowly lay down in the wide back of the chair, and sighed silently, his voice was so tired and depressed. He was wearing a ghost mask on his face, and he couldn't see the expression on his face, but his bare eyes were full of worry and confusion.

Three months have passed, but Happy has not returned, although through the beggar gang, Zhang Shunzhi has known that Happy has returned to Qi, but he is not happy to sit in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, he feels like a rootless duckweed, very unsteady.

Although he had made as careful and detailed arrangements as possible before leaving, Zhang Shunzhi was still powerless in the face of the social welfare and livelihood of nearly two million people in the two provinces. After all, he is just a Xibei goods, whether it is temperament and talent can not be compared with happiness, he is an excellent executor, but not an excellent planner, and can not control the rudder of the development of the two provinces well.

Even in the past three months, in order to avoid revealing the stuffing, Zhang Shunzhi has lived as simple as possible, said little, and carefully discussed with Cui Jishu and Zhang Diao in case of trouble, but there are some things, in addition to being happy, they are really powerless to deal with and decide.

"Lord Governor, Zhao Gou has something to do!" A clear voice came from outside the house, Zhang Shunzhi's thoughts instantly returned, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, he sat up straight suddenly, and said lightly: "Come in!" ”

The door of the study squeaked, and Zhao Gou, who was dressed in a blue Confucian shirt, pushed the door in. Today's Zhao Gou is no longer as honest and stupid as before, exuding a faint bookish atmosphere, coupled with the honest and gentle smile on his face, which makes people extremely kind, but his deep eyes show his wisdom.

"Your subordinates, see the Governor!" Zhao Gou did not slack off in the slightest because it was his brother sitting in front of him, and saluted respectfully.

"No courtesy, sit down and talk back!" Zhang Shunzhi's tone was very flat and carefree.

"Yes!" Zhao Gou saluted and thanked him, and then sat respectfully opposite Zhang Shunzhi, his waist straight, "Your Excellency, with the continuous influx of refugees into Shandong and Jiangsu provinces in recent days, we have no land to distribute!" ”

The policies of Shandong and Jiangsu provinces are extremely favorable, and the rich and healthy life of the people also makes the people of the surrounding Northern Qi Dynasty envious. In particular, the Northern Qi regime was declining, and the people's lives were getting worse day by day, and more and more refugees fled to Shandong and Jiangsu provinces with their families.

Happy is very clear that in the era of cold weapons, land is important, and population is equally important, because he never refuses the influx of refugees from other places, which can not only save the poor people, but also allow him to have more resources. However, the rapid increase in the number of people has not only caused congestion and chaos in cities and counties in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, but also brought tremendous pressure to the government in terms of management.

However, even so, in this era of extremely low productivity, even if Shandong Province is vast and sparsely populated, it is not easy to develop it in such a short time. Moreover, because the time is too short, the concept of the common people is still a little outdated, and they still regard the land as the fundamental place of survival. Even some wealthy businessmen, although they have made a lot of fortune with happiness, they are still landlords in their bones, and they always try to buy land.

Although Xing Xing has set up many factories to allow people to exchange their hands for living materials as much as possible, but there is no arable land, the vast majority of people still have no sense of identity and feel panic in their hearts.

Therefore, cultivated land resources have become a serious problem that Shandong and Jiangsu provinces have to face. But the joy is not there, Cui Jishu and Zhang Diao do not dare to make a decision in vain, and refusing to accept refugees is a mediocre measure, not to mention being happy, which will destroy the reputation that Happy has established.

"Zhao Gou, do you think there is any way to solve this problem?" Zhang Shunzhi rubbed his swollen temples and asked lightly.

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and then said: "At present, a large amount of cultivated land is in the hands of powerful businessmen, if they can all be raided, this problem will not be a problem!" As he spoke, a gleam flashed in Zhao Gou's eyes, and the murderous aura on his body also disappeared in a flash, and the elegant bookish aura suddenly disappeared. He was born poor and hated the rich, so he made this cruel suggestion.

Zhang Shunzhi smiled dumbly, shook his head and said: "It's easy to say, but it's too difficult to do!" Not to mention that Xing needs to rely on the intricacies of local connections to promote his own products, and even the management of local affairs is indispensable for their help. If it is a one-size-fits-all approach, not to mention the chaos and turmoil caused by him, Zhang Shunzhi is powerless to clean it up, even if he is happy to use force to subdue all obstacles, the end will greatly damage the vitality of the two provinces, which is obviously not what he is happy to see.

"There is another way, which is to learn from the Zhou Kingdom, ban religion, and seize cultivated land from the monks." Zhao Gou also knew that Zhang Shunzhi would not agree with his suggestion, so he didn't care, frowned and thought for a moment, and then said with burning eyes.

Zhang Shunzhi was shocked, and couldn't help frowning and thinking deeply.

This is a good approach, and compared to the Zhou state, the resources of Buddhism supported by Gao Wei are jaw-dropping. It must be known that after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty in history, the Northern Zhou Dynasty Emperor Wu Emperor Yuwen Yong ordered the monks to return to the lay as large as 3 million, and the total population of the Northern Qi Dynasty at that time was probably only more than 10 million.

Zhang Shunzhi, as a happy cronie, knows some happy thoughts. Gao Xing once vaguely showed that he did not have much good impression of Buddhism, especially for Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, the five factions of good and evil, which used the Central Plains as a chessboard and the common people of the world as a chess piece, was extremely disgusted, otherwise Xing Xing would not have made such a big move in Jiangling City, making the Heavenly Dao Sect the target of everyone.

It's just that I'm glad to know that the influence of Buddhism among the people is very huge, and we can't rush it, so I haven't started Buddhism for a long time. However, after nearly three years of development, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces have been extremely stable, and Sun Art's prestige is no longer shaken, and it should be a good time to crack down on Buddhism, but he is not happy to sit down, but Zhang Shunzhi does not dare to make this decision easily.

"Putting this aside in advance, how is the development of Xinghua Academy now, and how many talents are available?" Zhang Shunzhi thought for a moment, and then asked softly.

"There are many people who come from poor backgrounds and study hard, but they are too young to deal with people and things, and they are still not qualified for public office without some training. Moreover, there are many factions in the government institutions, they have no foundation, and they are always ostracized by many people! Zhao Gou frowned and said helplessly.

"Are those people restless again?" A look of gloom flashed in Zhang Shunzhi's eyes, and he said coldly: "You let the beggar gang secretly investigate, especially pay attention to collecting evidence that they are traitors, and wait until the son returns to clean them up!" ”

……

After Zhang Shunzhi arranged some more affairs for Zhao Gou, the night was already dark, Zhao Gou said goodbye and left, and Zhang Shunzhi also walked towards the happy bedroom. Acting naturally has to play a full set, and clothing, food, housing and transportation are all in accordance with happy habits and standards.

"Who?" Zhang Shunzhi just stretched out his hand to push open the door, but suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, and immediately scolded vigilantly, and the muscles and bones in his body tensed in an instant, ready to explode at any time.

"Yes, by the way, your kung fu has improved a lot!" With this gentle voice, the fire and candle in the room were lit, and a handsome boy in white was sitting calmly on a chair, looking at Zhang Shunzhi with a smile and a smile in his eyes.

Zhang Shunzhi was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and bowed: "Your Excellency, why are you back?" Ah, no! Your subordinates meet the Governor! But because of excitement, Zhang Shunzhi spoke a little incoherently, and he also had a trill.

"Get up, Shunzhi, I've worked hard for you these days!" happily got up and helped Zhang Shunzhi up, with a strong look of appreciation and gratitude in his eyes.

"This is what subordinates should do!" Zhang Shunzhi got up, his excited mood quickly calmed down, and he said with some apprehension: "My lord, there are some things that are mishandled by subordinates, please condemn you!" ”

"By the way, how many times have I told you, you are not only my subordinate, but also my friend, brother." Xing Xing pinched Zhang Shunzhi's shoulders hard, and said with emotion: "You are conscientious and handle things in an orderly manner, it's too late for me to praise you, how can I punish you" Don't say this kind of foreign talk in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" ”

Zhang Shun's heart was moved, and his hanging heart was finally put down. Seeing the joy, the heavy pressure in his heart disappeared, and the feeling of lightness and brightness made him almost float. Only then did he realize how much pressure he had to bear behind the indifferent happiness on the surface.

It's easy to be an official, but it's hard to be a good official!

……

After returning to Xinghua City happily, Cui Jishu, Zhang Diao and others, who knew the inside story, were immediately relieved, and the people's feeling was that the already prosperous Xinghua City was even more lively, and the vigorous development momentum surprised countless people.

On the third day of the first month of April, he happily ordered the establishment of Xinghua City Hospital, and recruited 50 skilled doctors in Shandong Province to sit in Langzhong, with Sun Simiao, a divine doctor, as the president. At the same time, Xinghua Medical College was also established to train medical staff, and the president was also concurrently served by Sun Simiao.

At first, many doctors were quite critical of this decision, but when they saw Sun Simiao's unfathomable medical treatment, no one dared to object. Not only that, everyone sincerely sought advice from Sun Simiao, after all, the higher the level, the stronger the survival capital.

These two initiatives are not unprecedented, but they are absolutely unprecedented. It is the first time in history that it is an official hospital for the public, which is undoubtedly a blessing for the people. The most important thing is that they are afraid of the disciples of the church, starve to death of the master, and happily set up a medical school, which makes many people hate and scold at the same time, but also makes countless people applaud.

Although birth, old age, sickness and death are natural laws, who doesn't want to live well. With hospitals under unified management and medical schools that teach medical skills, people's safety is more guaranteed.

Next, Xingxing decided to expand Xinghua City. If it weren't for Zhang Rong and Gao Changgong, this matter would have been put on the agenda at the beginning of the year. But as the number of residents in Xinghua City increased and the situation became more and more severe, Gao Xing had to issue this order.

In ancient times, it was not easy to build a city, but it was not difficult to rejoice in the relative development of industry, and in this way, it could not only stimulate the economic development of the government, but also greatly relieve the pressure on the population, so that the labor force and the scarce arable land resources would not erupt into a greater contradiction.

Just when Xinghua City was expanding in full swing, news suddenly came from Yecheng that Gao Anaqiu was reactivated, replacing Zhao Yanshen's responsibilities as Sikong and being knighted as the king of Leling. At the same time, Gao Wei Feng Sui King Gao Changgong Shizi was happy to rebel against the generalissimo, and immediately sent troops to crusade against the traitor Gao Xin.
