Danzhou, located in the northwest of Qiongzhou, can also be regarded as a relatively complex state capital under the rule of Qiongzhou. The reason why he is complicated is that above this state capital, there are many Li people who have been persuaded to live down the mountain.

In addition, Danzhou is also considered to be the state capital under the rule of Qiongzhou, and the per capita cultivated land area is relatively large. In addition, the fresh water resources in the territory are relatively abundant, and there are many new and old immigrants living here, and the security situation is relatively complicated.

Although Zhao Xiaoxi had already been here before, he even asked the navy to send a small fleet to be stationed in the Beibu Gulf of Danzhou Prefecture in the later period. In addition to monitoring the sporadic pirates on the island from the sea, it is also responsible for assisting the government to suppress the local area.

Since the previous time, Zhao Xiaoxi arrived here and escorted the former governor to Beijing with the dismissal investigation office. The Danzhou government is more in a state of disorder. But there is a cavalry of a hundred-man team in the palace, sitting in the state capital to control the situation, and no one dares to spread rumors.

Now that he sent away the married little sister and handed over the affairs on the island to his father, Zhao Xiaoxi personally sent Su Shi here to take office. Originally, he wanted to take a boat so that he could arrive quickly, but Su Shi chose to travel by land.

Knowing the traffic situation in Danzhou, it is not very optimistic, and the supervision team sent by Zhao Xiaoxi is currently there. More is also repairing the county's road to the outside world. Some supplies are more carried out by sea.

But in order to better observe the situation in Qiongzhou, Su Shi naturally chose the way of land route, so as to better grasp the context of governance here. In this regard, Zhao Xiaoxi did not refuse much, and also personally accompanied him to Danzhou by land.

The Zhizhou Guards, who arrived in Danzhou one step ahead of them, had already cleared out the Zhizhou Yamen. And the Danzhou officials, who have always been worried, are naturally relieved that the new Zhizhou is actually a well-known Dongpo layman.

Every day, I watched the cavalry of the palace and walked around the city on duty. These experienced purge scenes survived the existence of officials. I am very worried about whether Zhao Xiaoxi will send another official who does not understand civil affairs and only knows military equipment to take office.

Now that they suddenly heard that Su Shi had taken office as governor, they were naturally overjoyed and spontaneously went to the city gate to wait for the arrival of Su Shi and his party. Facing Danzhou, which is obviously much more remote than Qiongshan Mansion. Su Shi also felt that this was the true face of Qiongzhou.

Looking at some of the things handed over by the government copywriter, Su Shi was also very surprised, he, the subordinate of Zhizhou, could command such a rare official. Most of the county orders and state government officials were all cut down by Zhao Xiaoxi.

Faced with this situation, Su Shi undoubtedly had a little headache, but Zhao Xiaoxi also said directly: "Master Su, the situation in Danzhou Mansion, I think you also know something now." What you need to do at the moment: It is to restore the government as soon as possible.

The king is in the Ryukyus, and some new officials have been sent over. When they arrive, you are personally responsible for assessing their abilities and the positions they can handle. If you think they can't do it, let them go, and the king will appoint another one.

As for the officials who were cut down by this king, they were all corrupt officials who were innocent. Danzhou will become the current situation, a large part of the reason. It is caused by their inaction and self-interest.

Now you're in office. This king will at least give you a clean official mansion, and a relatively calm state capital. Most of the people who used to go to the mountains to work as bandits have now gone down to the mountains to work in their homes, and the local law and order has also improved considerably.

In addition, in order to help Danzhou, get on the right path as soon as possible. The wharf in the Beibu Gulf will be repaired by the king as soon as possible. The second is the highway in Danzhou. This king has commanded the Ministry of Works to speed up the construction progress, and adults can also pay attention to it in the future.

In addition, this king has allocated 100,000 taels of silver to be deposited in the treasury to make the financial resources of Lord Su's administration this year. It's just the hope of this king. Starting next year, Danzhou will be self-sufficient, and there will be no need for the government to subsidize the state capital's expenses. ”

Hearing that Zhao Xiaoxi had arranged so many things for him, Su Shi also felt that this prince was indeed different. Others are eager to collect money from the government below, but he is good, and as soon as he comes, he will post 100,000 taels of silver from the state government.

finally understood that this is a ruler who is really willing to benefit the people, Su Shi also said very simply: "Please rest assured, the lower officials must clear the rule of officials as soon as possible, so that Danzhou can restore peace as soon as possible, and let the people of Danzhou live a life of food and clothing as soon as possible." ”

With Su Shi's words, Zhao Xiaoxi left a thirty-member palace guard behind to serve as his yacha and escort in the state capital. At the same time, he said that when he came, he had already asked people to send letters to several Li leaders in Danzhou.

Tomorrow, I believe that these leaders will come to the state capital to meet him, the new governor. For these people from before the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xiaoxi has only one opinion, there is no preferential treatment and prejudice, just treat them equally.

In addition, we should try our best to resolve the national antagonism that still exists. Even in order to solve this situation, Zhao Xiaoxi also planned to build a academy in Danzhou, and then fold it to ask for funding support when Su Shi chose a good place.

Through this series of arrangements, Su Shi also truly understood that this young prince. It's not that he doesn't know anything about people's livelihood and politics as he said, on the contrary, some of his considerations and arrangements are very reasonable.

Such a ruler who is willing to seek benefits for the people is undoubtedly a blessing for the people of Qiongzhou. But it is not the blessing of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it is what he can predict. But no matter what, what he has to do now is to be the governor of Danzhou.

At least in the past few days in Qiongzhou Mansion, he didn't see Zhao Xiaoxi's father and son, and there was any sign of wooing him to work hard. On the contrary, Zhao Xiaoxi said very directly that it was also hope to help him more, and he came to Danzhou to help deal with government affairs.

In that case, why should he worry too much! Anyway, in the final analysis, you can't write two Zhao characters in one stroke, and the world itself belongs to the Zhao family. As courtiers, they can't say anything about this kind of thing, just don't get involved!

Su Shi, who had this kind of plan, was also very satisfied with Zhao Xiaoxi sending him to take office and leaving. He could feel Cho Hyo-seok's respect for him. But this kind of respect is not stammering, nor is it false.

Every time Zhao Hyo-seok can, just the right thing he has to praise. This made Su Shi feel that it was indeed a blessing for the Great Song Dynasty to have such a prince. But whether this blessing will turn into a disaster in the end, only God knows!

Su Shi, who sent away Zhao Xiaoxi, summoned the officials of the various ministries and counties under his rule on the same day. After asking these officials, about the people's livelihood in Danzhou, I felt that the overall situation was still good, and Zhao Xiaoxi had already solved a lot of troubles for him.

And Zhao Xiaoxi, who left Danzhou, came directly to Changhua, next door to Danzhou. Here, the first army unit he formed, had already begun training here. And the place is the former Changhua Army's station.

This border army was previously raised by the imperial court and guarded Qiongzhou. Seventy percent was eliminated by Zhao Xiaoxi, and all the newly recruited Qiongzhou young men were sent here for training. The commander in charge of training is really Zhao Wu, who is nicknamed the commander of the recruits.

It's just that the number of people trained by this unit at the moment is not the 3,000 people that Zhao Xiaoxi said at the beginning, but the scale of 8,000 people has really reached the scale. But after three months, it remains to be seen how many people will be able to notify the assessment and enter the regular army.

These young men who came for the silver were undoubtedly bitter for the training of the barracks. But for the food and treatment of the barracks, it seems to be extremely cherished. Especially in January, two taels of silver are issued, which is what they dream of.

From the first day they entered the camp, they knew that if they could pass the assessment after three months, they would be able to get a military salary of five taels a month. These are all children from peasant families who came from a hard background, and they all gritted their teeth and held on, and they crawled and rolled in the school field every day.

For Zhao Xiaoxi, as long as 3,000 of the 8,000 retrained soldiers can be qualified, he will be very satisfied. The remaining 5,000 eliminated soldiers had three months of hard training, and could also be used as a reserve to garrison the cities.

At present, the urban defense forces in the counties under the rule of Qiongzhou are seriously understaffed. Fortunately, Zhao Xiaoxi continued to mobilize troops from Xinnancheng and stayed in these county seats, which can be regarded as alleviating this situation of troop tension.

But in Zhao Xiaoxi's opinion, if you want to march into the Li Dynasty, you can have Yue Laosan's troops in the navy. In addition, from other naval bases, a force of 3,000 men can be dispatched to participate in the battle.

Secondly, on land, he will also form an army of no less than 10,000 men to cooperate with the arquebus and artillery teams to attack. In addition, he and Duan Yu also reached a cooperation, and Dali will also send troops to respond.

From what we know now, the number of troops owned by the Li Dynasty is also about 100,000. In addition, there were more than 100,000 troops, most of whom were miscellaneous troops responsible for defending the city. The combat effectiveness of this miscellaneous army is almost completely unconcerned.

What Zhao Xiaoxi wants to do is to cripple the 100,000 elite troops of the Li Dynasty. At present, as long as the affairs of Qiongzhou are calmed, he will reorganize the border troops under the rule of Guangnan West Road in the name of the commander of Guangnan West Road and the envoy of Qincha.

These are also troops that often encounter war, and with a little polishing, it should be no problem to act as a second-line force. And this position was also agreed to by Zhao Xu according to his requirements without the slightest deduction.

It's just that in the holy decree, Zhao Xu directly said that the imperial court's current military spending is more concentrated in the northwest region. If you want to raise troops for Li Chao, military salaries and materials are all responsible for Zhao Xiaoxi.

This kind of holy decree made Zhao Xiaoxi feel that this cousin was really a person who refused to suffer. It is his money and his supplies that are fighting. The territory that can be defeated must be placed under the jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty.

And what Zhao Xu needs to do is to throw the big burden of Guangnan West Road to Zhao Xiaoxi to deal with. Anyway, in Zhao Xu's opinion, this holy decree can also let him take a good look at whether Zhao Xiaoxi has any objections to him.

In fact, for Zhao Xiaoxi, he really doesn't have the heart to stare at the throne of the Great Song Dynasty now. Now he already has two wars to prepare for. How could he be too distracted and pay attention to Zhao Xu's little calculations! (To be continued......)
