Liu Liu listened to the people in front of him praise him, how could he not know that he had guessed correctly. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info hurriedly knelt down, pressed his head to the ground and said, "Please forgive the little ignorance and small offense." “

The brothers standing behind Liu Liu saw the eldest brother kneeling respectfully in front of the person in front of him, and heard the eldest brother say that the person in front of him turned out to be the prophet who had been given to the Turks by them a few days ago, and the great grandson of the Great Zhou, Yang Yaozong. also knew that the person in front of them was the person they had been talking about these days, so they were all so frightened that they knelt on the ground and didn't dare to look up.

"Liu Liu, you have a heart, and the people and businessmen of this Zhangye should also be taken care of by you." Yang Yaozong didn't ask Liu Liu to get up, his voice was flat, but it was a pun that was not salty or light.

"The little one knows that he is rampant, but he never bullies the people. The little one's parents died early when he was a child, and he had no brothers and sisters, all of whom were supported by the poor township of Zhangye City, and the east family fed the big one. The small ones also wanted to make the people of Zhangye good, so they also stripped some money from the merchants, and the local merchants only charged some protection fees. The little ones are the breadwinners, and they take their money, but they keep them safe. “

"Oh? Do you want me to give you some commendation? Yang Yaozong raised his eyebrows and said.

"The little one doesn't dare, the little one ......" Zhang Ye hurriedly buckled his head, making the brothers behind him nervously kowtow together.

"That's it! You don't have to kneel, I do thank you, get up, I have something to ask you. “

Liu Liu looked up at Yang Yaozong's smiling appearance, and then got up cautiously and said, "I don't know what adults want to know, but if the little ones know, they must know everything." “

Yang Yaozong said with a smile: "Do you know which Turkic tribe has been attacking Gansu all the time?" “

"Because it's closer to the barge department, most of them are from the barge department."

"Barge?" Yang Yaozong narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "How often do they come?" How many people come at once? “

"They don't have a fixed time to come here, but they come almost once a month, with dozens of people at a time, and sometimes only more than 100 people. They were all light horses, specially for looting. “

"I think this piece of the box is also protected by the city, but it is a little dilapidated, and it is easy to repair it. Liu Liu, if I appoint you as the parent official of this city, are you willing to take on this responsibility? “

As soon as these words came out, not only Liu Liu himself, but also everyone in the hall looked at Yang Yaozong in surprise.

"Big ...... Your Excellency......" Liu Liu stammered and said in surprise.

"What? Don't believe what I'm saying? Or do you think you can't afford it? Do you just want to be a gangster for the rest of your life? Yang Yaozong stared at Liu Liudao.

"Liu Liu is willing to be the head of the adult and the horse, and serve the work of dogs and horses!" Liu Liu knelt down and said excitedly.

Yang Yaozong helped him up and said with a smile: "I don't need you to serve me as a dog and horse, you just need to live up to the people of Zhangye!" ”

Seeing that the brothers behind Liu Liu were also very happy, knowing that they were happy for their eldest brother. Yang Yaozong smiled when he was also employing people: "I don't know much about Zhangye, you can try to settle your group of brothers, or serve as a servant or a husband for the city guard." But now that you are a parent here, you must also control them, and if I find out that they have any harmful behavior, I will deal with them strictly! ”

"Little Lord Xie!" Liu Liu said excitedly, and hurriedly turned around and shouted to his group of brothers: "You don't want to thank your lord!" ”

Yang Yaozong saw that they all knelt down and kowtowed to himself in gratitude, and said with a smile: "Get up!" Then he glanced at the tall, thin man who had been arrogant before.

Liu Liu had great eyesight, and hurriedly patted the thin and tall man's head and shouted: "Niu Er, don't you pay the adults soon?" ”

Niu Er knelt down again and shrunk and said: "The little Niu Er has no eyes, please punish the adult!" ”

Yang Yaozong said: "You have to thank you for having Liu Liu, the eldest brother, today I will give you the face of the eldest brother, and I will not punish you!" Don't bully people in the future, if I know that you are bullying the township or doing anything harmful, I will definitely punish you severely! Your eldest brother can't protect you! ”

"The little one is guilty, the little one remembers." Niu Er kowtowed vigorously.

"Master Xie......" Liu Liu hurriedly knelt down and bowed to Yang Yaozong again.

"Alright, alright, get up! I don't like this, don't kneel around! Yang Yaozong saw Liu Liu and Niu Er get up: "Is there a yamen and a prison in this Zhangye City?" ”

Liu Liudao: "Lord Hui, there are yamen and prisons, and they are indeed deserted. However, it can still be used with a simple repair. ”

Yang Yaozong nodded and said, "Then let Niu Er take your brothers to clean up the yamen first, and I will live in the room behind the yamen with my family during this time in Zhangye." We have prepared our own daily necessities, so we don't need to disturb the people, we just need to clean them. Here are fifty taels of silver, and you ask them to buy some coal, firewood, rice, and other food for them. Remember what I said was buying! ”

Liu Liu said respectfully: "Why do adults need to pay for these little things, there are still some silver coins here for the small ones, which are enough to buy things for adults." ”

Yang Yaozong smiled and said: "There is no need for this, you will slowly understand my temper in the future, let them take the money to do things, you stay, I still have something to discuss with you." ”

Liu Liu carefully arranged his brothers, and after those people were all ordered to retreat, Yang Yaozong said: "You can also sit down!" ”

Seeing Liu Liu sit down cautiously, he continued: "In the past few days, you have sent someone to count the number of households and population in Zhangye, and register them according to permanent residence, short-term residence, nationality, farmers, and merchants. In addition, if they live in the same household, their age and gender must be clearly registered. If you are illiterate, find a literate gentleman to do your paperwork. ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

"When the weather warms up, the city walls and gates will be repaired, and during this time, people will be sent to handle the city gates and register the merchants who come and go."

"Yes! My lord! ”

"Then there is the tax, now only for merchants and traders who come here to trade to collect taxes, the tax must not be too high, must not be higher than the protection fee you receive on weekdays, you according to the level of consumption here to formulate, take it to me to decide. We want more people to come and buy and sell and settle down and do business, and more merchants to come here to do business. The taxes collected, excluding the monthly regulations of the yamen personnel, were all used to rebuild Zhangye. “

"Yes! My lord! The small generation of Zhangye people thanked the adults! Liu Liu got up excitedly and saluted Yang Yaozong.

Yang Yaozong waved his hand to let him sit down and said: "As you said, you treat them as your rice bowl, but now your rice bowl is only a broken bowl, if you want to turn this rice bowl into a golden rice bowl, then let the people here be stable and rich, the people are stable and rich, there will be more demand, so there will be more businessmen, and more and more people will come here to do business." You will be more profitable! ”

"The villain doesn't dare!"

Yang Yaozong said with a smile: "There is nothing to dare to dare, I hope to see the people get rich at the same time you and your brothers also get rich, of course, everything should be moderate, just don't be distracted by interests!" “

"Besides, tomorrow I will draw up an example to recruit soldiers, and train the recruited soldiers to protect the city defense of Zhangye. Young people who want to become soldiers are counted as military households, and each military household will have a fixed income of one or two pieces of silver every month. Don't force the people to join the army, I want them to join the army voluntarily. “

"Yes! My lord! “

The two chatted for a long time, until night fell, and Yang Yaozong smiled: "Did Liu Liu ever think that the burden on his shoulders would be so heavy?" If you want to quit now, it's too late. “

Liu Liu said with a smile: "The little one never thought that he could be an official in this life and do something good for the people of Zhangye." The small ones will live up to the expectations of adults and live up to the appreciation of adults! ”

Yang Yaozong smiled: "As long as you feel worthy of your own conscience." By the way, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, can there be fireworks in Zhangye City? ”

"Zhangye hasn't had a festival for many years, and when it gets dark, every house closes and there are no pedestrians on the streets. But there are fireworks. ”

Yang Yaozong looked at the street where there were no pedestrians, and then looked at the round and bright moon that had risen: "Then take out the fireworks and let the adults and children have a lively Shangyuan Festival!" ”

Liu Liu was also very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly went out to Zhang Luo, but was stopped by Yang Yaozong.

"Inform the people in advance, don't frighten the people by setting off fireworks. Find an open area to set off fireworks, pay attention to safety and fire prevention. Take the fifty taels of silver, and be well reunited with your brothers. ”

"My lord! The little one still wants to entertain the adults and a few ladies......" Liu Liu looked at Yang Yaozong excitedly.

Yang Yaozong saw that Liu Liu was about to retreat, and said with a smile: "Take it!" Do a good job, want to entertain me, don't rush at this time, I hope you will entertain me with your golden rice bowl! (To be continued.) )
