Accompanied by Liu Liu, he came to the Zhangye Yamen, and saw that the yamen had been cleaned and tidy, the two big stone lions at the door reappeared majestic, and the plaques hanging on the door beams were a little worn out but were wiped spotlessly, which also made the majesty and solemnity of the yamen reappear. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Liu Liu's subordinates were cleaning the yamen, some well-faithful people came to inquire. There is no need to hide the news that Yang Yaozong has arrived here, so the people of Zhangye City basically knew the news that Yang Yaozong was already in Zhangye when Yang Yaozong came to Yamen. Some bold people have been waiting near the yamen, just to catch a glimpse of the legendary Taisun Taifu of the Great Zhou, the Turkic prophet and the Turkic horse.

As early as a few days ago, the people of Zhangye City knew the news that Gansu had belonged to Yang Yaozong, and Zhangye was the main trade route between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Western Regions, so the people of Zhangye still knew a little about Yang Yaozong's affairs, and it was even more outrageous that Yang Yaozong was said to be a god descending, and he would call for wind and rain to summon heavenly soldiers and earth dragons to fight, so the Western Turks would cooperate with the Great Zhou to jointly exterminate the Turks, and the Western Turks worshipped Yang Yaozong as a prophet. For this reason, the Yiran Khan of the Western Turks also invited Princess Yue to marry Yang Yaozong, the pearl of his palm.

Gansu has been unmanaged for a long time, and the people of a big city like Zhangye naturally hope that someone will manage them, hoping that someone can make decisions for them, and they will not be harassed by the Turks and live a peaceful life. They naturally didn't want to be managed by the Turks, so when they learned that Gansu had belonged to Yang Yaozong, and Yang Yaozong was a native of the Great Zhou, although the people of Gansu had a lot of resentment towards the Great Zhou, they were still happy in their hearts, and of course they were apprehensive, after all, their understanding of Yang Yaozong was limited to rumors, and no one knew what his talent and quality were.

When Yang Yaozong saw those people who were more bold and had been waiting near the yamen to see him, he naturally gave those people a warm and gentle smile.

Several people entered the yamen, and saw that Niu Er and the others did not know where to find the shabby clothes of the yamen were wearing them, and they all stood straight on both sides of the yamen.

Liu Liu saw Yang Yaozong frowning slightly, and hurriedly wanted to explain: "My lord, they ......"

Yang Yaozong waved his hand and said with a smile: "As a servant, you should be a little different from the people, just let them dress like this for the time being, and when Zhangye has money, I will buy a new outfit for you." I've wronged you recently! ”

Liu Liu saw that Yang Yaozong had no intention of blaming, but instead said such sympathetic words, and said excitedly: "Lord Xie! ”

Yang Yaozong said with a smile: "Liu Liu, you take your brothers to get busy, I have soldiers here to guard, and there is no need to leave someone on duty." I'm just here waiting to see your fireworks. “

Liu Liu and his brothers respectfully saluted Yang Yaozong, and then took them to say goodbye and leave.

Yang Yaozong took Liao Qiniang, Ayi and Mu Qinghan through the back hall and came to the backyard of the yamen.

The back hall of the yamen is used for office and the place where the copywriting files are stored. The backyard of the yamen is used to house family members and subordinates. At this time, everything has been cleaned up, and Sewu, who came here with his luggage first, has already cleaned up the rooms of the women, and has already prepared a meal, just waiting for Yang Yaozong and the others to come back to enjoy.

There has been no stable place for a long time, but now there is a stable residence, although it is simple, Yang Yaozong and Liao Qiniang are quite happy. It was also a festive season, and several people at the dinner table drank some wine, and the conversation box was opened.

Ayi glanced at Yang Yaozong and said, "You still said that you are fair, but I found that you are very protective!" “

Yang Yaozong picked up a fried red crystal peanut and put it in his mouth, chewed it gently, and made it full of flavor. Then he took a sip of Turkic spirits, although it is called a spirit, in fact, the degree of wine is not high, but because Yang Yaozong rarely drinks, so a little degree of wine Yang Yaozong is very sensitive, and at this moment he is very comfortable enjoying the burning sensation brought by the liquor sliding into his throat and abdominal cavity. smiled: "Then what do you say about my injustice?" And how to protect the short? “

Ayi raised his head and drank a glass of wine and snorted: "You are so strict with the Turkic soldiers, what three disciplines and eight points of attention regulate them. And you are very conniving with the head snake like Liu Liu. As long as it does not harm the people, it is okay to break the rice bowl and the golden rice bowl. Dare you say you're fair? Don't protect the short? ”

Mu Qinghan also frowned slightly and said, "I can't figure out why you use Liu Liu?" “

Yang Yaozong frowned slightly and said: "Although the population of this land under my control is not large, there are many ethnic groups, and many towns are trade routes between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Western Regions. Since ancient times, ethnic integration has been a big problem, and in addition to the frequent attacks and harassments, the people's lives are walking on thin ice, although I want my fiefdom to develop peacefully and prosper, but it is very difficult to do it. “

"First, I don't have enough people. We only have a brave cavalry in the army, if there is really a large army to attack and disturb, how can we resist it? As for the soldiers, I will not only ask of the Turkic soldiers, but also the soldiers recruited in the future. This is especially true for the Turkic soldiers, who are like wild horses and do not obey them, they only worship force, and they worship the more powerful. You Turkic men are tall and burly, and you are brave and good at fighting, which is a great gift from heaven. However, you do not pay attention to teamwork and marching formation, which is your shortcoming. And I want to train this brave cavalry of Jie Zhiluo into my elite. “

"Second, we don't have any money, we just have a little bit of power. This is also through your father Khan and your brother. And how long will we be able to bless my fiefdom from being attacked? I didn't dare to think about it, so I had to strengthen myself as quickly as I could. ”

Yang Yaozong saw that Ayi wanted to speak and stopped, and poured a new glass of wine for Ayi: "Maybe you want to say that the New Turkic Khanate has been established now, and all of this place belong to the New Turkic Khanate, but you have also seen how the people here live in fear, how can you Turks ever regard the people here as their own compatriots?" ”

"Alliances between tribes, and even between nations, are alliances based on the premise of interests, and without profits, alliances can collapse at any time. The Turkic tribes are equivalent to the cities of the Great Zhou, but the difference is that the whole country of the Great Zhou is governed by a unified legal system, while the Turkic tribes have their own management methods among each tribe. While this is flexible, the biggest drawback is that rights are not controlled by the central government. In addition, you Turks have that kind of unruly wildness in their bones, so it is easy for Turkic tribes to cause civil wars due to some friction or dislike. Look at your brother, didn't the New Turkic Khanate go out again to quell the rebellion as soon as it was formed? So I want to take advantage of the fact that the other tribes are still waiting to see us, and try to prepare as much as possible to resist it. The support of the people, the loyal troops, the strong cities, and the good armament are all I desperately need. “

"Regarding Miss Mu's question, Liu Liu is indeed not a good person, but judging by his words and deeds, he is quite a wise person. I can use him, to be honest, not only because he knows a lot about Zhangye City, but mainly because I can't find a more suitable candidate. At least for now, I hope that Liu Liu will not live up to my expectations, and I also hope that he will be more and more suitable for his position and take on his responsibilities. “

"I know that Miss Mu is worried about the people of Zhangye City, and I will keep an eye on him in the future. I also told him that if I found out that they were doing something evil to the people, I would not spare them. But they definitely need benefits to do these things, and I will whitewash them and give them status, and I will not care whether they will be corrupt or not for the time being. When it comes to money, as long as they don't overdo it. “

"For example, when he received ten taels of silver, he gave six taels to the people, and gave one tael to his brothers, and one tael to the treasury, and he himself received two taels. I'm allowed to do that. As long as he doesn't cross my bottom line, it's easy to say anything. As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there are no fish, as long as the fish does not stir the pond water too much. People must be driven by interests to be willing to do things for you. No one is a fool, are you right, Miss Mu? “

Mu Qinghan and Ayi glanced at each other, and both women nodded silently. Obviously, the two daughters already understood Yang Yaozong's hardships and listened to Yang Yaozong's words in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
