It was late that day, Zhang Yue did not go to greet him, but only sent Feng Qianhou to take Yang Xuanli and other personal soldiers to lead Bian Ji, Han Fu and others to the inn to stay, and received the goods. The pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info dealt with the daily affairs of the government early the next morning, and then asked Bian Ji to come over and meet him in the back hall.

Bian Ji came with Han Fu and Zhang Quanxu, and there was a tall and slightly chubby middle-aged man, in his third or fourth year, dressed in a green cloth robe, looking shrewd and capable, but Zhang Yue didn't know him, so he invited someone to sit down for tea.

Bian Ji introduced and introduced: "This is a Songzhou businessman I invited, named Song Dequan, who was imprisoned by the Songzhou government for smuggling salt goods, and I ransomed him." ”

"Oh...... I don't know how big this Song businessman's original business was? Zhang Yue had the intention of taking the school exam, so he asked with a smile.

"I've seen Zhang Zhijun, the original industrial assets of the contemptible people have hundreds of thousands of yuan, there are six silk villages, ten grain villages, and three ship shops, but unfortunately once he missed, he paid all the compensation to Wu Xingde, last year coincided with his renovation of the river, and hit his hands." Song Dequan bowed to courtesy.

"It doesn't matter! My business is doing a lot of business, and if you can take care of it for me, you can make a comeback in 10 years at most. At that point, if you want to do it yourself, you can do it on your own, but of course, it's better if you continue to take care of it for me! Zhang Yue said with a smile.

"Thanks to the envoy, the contemptible people do their best, and dare not do their best!" Song Dequan smiled respectfully and apologetically.

"This is the money and grain delivered by Shuzhong, please make your eyes look at it! The proprietor of my house also came this time, but he didn't come in Guanzhong! Han Fu took out the account list from his arms and handed it over, and said with a smile.

Zhang Yue took it and looked at it, and saw a handwritten letterhead in the account book list, and couldn't help but be surprised, and read it quickly, and couldn't help laughing. In the letter, Han Furong ridiculed him for enriching his own pockets and taking advantage of his military position to embezzle court property. However, Zhang Yue was at ease, it didn't matter at all, if he hadn't come forward to reach a peace agreement with Zhao Chongpu, the Tokyo court might not have been able to get so much compensation.

The list is not pretty, but it is only the first batch, and a batch will be shipped every year after that. Zhang Yue looked at it and handed over the list to Feng Qianhou to take charge of, and then listened to Bian Ji and Zhang Quanxu about the profitability of the commercial bank, and this batch of money and grain would be transported by Zhang Quanxu to Huining, while Bian Ji would stay in Jingzhou to take up an official position.

At noon on the same day, Zhang Yue personally set up a banquet at home, let Feng Qianhou and Shi Chenghong accompany him, and invited Bian Ji, Song Dequan, and Zhang Quanxu to several of his subordinates, and entrusted all the affairs of the firm to Song Dequan in the future.

The next day, Song Dequan and Zhang Quanxu were sent to Huining with money, grain and goods, and Zhang Yue began to prepare to clean up the acres of land in the wealthy family, but this is not a trivial matter.

First of all, Yang Xuanli sent his own soldiers to invite the heads of the Jingzhou clans to the government to discuss matters, and the discussion was of course the release of tenant farmers and other taxpayers. Zhang Yue first took out the edict issued by Emperor Guo Wei in the second year of Guangshun on the release of tenant farmers and archived it for the heads of various families, and then asked Feng Qianhou to take out this year's statistics on the number of tenant farmers per mu and read it out.

"Benzhou has the largest number of tenants hidden by the Liang, Hu, Zhang, Huangfu, Niu, Xi, Jin and other eighteen families, if you don't give an explanation to the government, Ben Shuai has a way to make Er and others unable to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, and Huizhou and Liangzhou are in great need of population, are you willing to go?" Zhang Yue was not polite to them, and directly threatened.

"Chapter envoy Jun Rongyu! I and other families have land deeds, don't the decrees of the court count? Everyone was silent, and the head of the Zhang family couldn't stand it, so he asked angrily.

"Hah! In these four states of Jingyuan, Ben Shuai's decree is counted! Now it's the beginning of April, before the summer harvest, you must hand over the household register to the Jiedu government, if you can't complete it, or simply don't want to pay attention to it, the government will force immigrants to Liangzhou, whoever has a big business, start with whom, do you understand? Zhang Yue was very annoyed, now that he has basically completed his mastery of Jingzhou Baoding, of course, he doesn't have to look at their faces.

The household registration has been preliminarily counted, and it is clear at a glance who has how much land and property there is. Another important thing is the commercial tax, and some large households and officials in Jingzhou are involved in the business, which is in fact smuggling.

This will definitely not work in the future, and all commercial activities must be incorporated into the normal governance system of the government. However, Zhang Yue has not yet issued a formal decree statement, but he is also preparing. The news was immediately released, and everyone was sent away, and it will take some time to officially start.

On the 10th day of the first month of April, the Yongxing Military Government sent people to inform that the imperial court had sent Liu Yue, the governor of the imperial court, and others to Jingzhou to announce the decree, and that more than 300 people, including the new Jingyuan, the Hexi observation envoy Zhai Congen, and the deputy envoy Chang Deben, would arrive in Jingzhou on the same day.

Zhang Yue understood after receiving the report that this was the court's reward for the soldiers involved in the Battle of Liangzhou in Hexi, but he was surprised by the establishment of an observation office in the two towns of Jingyuan and Hexi. Feng Qianhou said with a smile that there was also this example in the border town before.

By mid-April, the envoy of the DPRK and China finally arrived, Zhang Yue personally led the officials of the two prefectures of Jingzhou to greet him, and sure enough, it was Zhai Congen and Chang Deben, who did not want to see each other for a few years.

Zhai Congen first explained the reason for the establishment of an observer envoy in the court, and at the same time set up a pastoral supervisor of the Taifu Temple, while the salt and iron were under the Shaofu Bureau, and the Huining Salt and Metallurgical Supervisor was set up, and all the officials who went to the post also came. These branches are all under the direct jurisdiction of the Observation Office and are transferred to Tokyo.

Of course, Zhang Yue understands that if he doesn't set up these institutions, he will still be a little tied to things, and he is afraid of ginseng, but he can finally do things boldly in the future, because these things can be explained by the observation office, so as to avoid a lot of suspicions.

"Then let's start proclamation, and then we will hold a banquet to wash the dust for you, and we will officially take care of things tomorrow." The words explained that everyone let go, and Zhang Yue greeted with a smile.

Zhai Cong'en nodded, and Liu Yue, who knew the system, got up and took out the yellow silk scroll to read it. To the effect that Hexi's deputy envoy to arrest and Jingzhou Changyi Jiedu made Zhang Yue meritorious in quelling the rebellion in Liangzhou, worshiped the Duke of Qiyang County, and was awarded the general of the second-grade auxiliary state, the doctor from the second-grade Jin Ziguanglu, and the envoy of Xuanfu in Hehuang.

Zhang Yue's wife Fu Jinqiong also rose with the tide, and was named Mrs. Xindu County from a third-class lady, and her status was one level higher than Zhang Yue's, Zhang Yue thought that this might be Queen Fu's intention, letting his wife press herself, and couldn't help but be a little funny.

Then there was the appointment of more than a dozen officials such as Zhai Congen and Chang Deben, Shi Deyuan also relocated Jingzhou Assassin Shi and regimental training envoy with merit, the original Jingzhou Assassin Shi Du Changxing was ineffective in governing Jingzhou, and failed to implement the decree issued by Guangshun in the second year on cleaning up tenants' fields, and was demoted to Huazhou Sima.

The appointments of Xuan Chongwen, Zong Jingcheng, Wen Yuankai, Han Sheng, Li Duojin, and others in Huizhou have all been lowered, and the promotions and rewards of officers at all levels have also been approved. Liu Yue, the intellectual, also went to Huizhou, Liangzhou and other places to announce the decree. Hou Zhang was also reinstated this time because of his military exploits and was awarded the title of Duke of Shenguo. (To be continued.) )
