Chapter Seventy-One: Tang Li Returns

As for what Zhao Jun said about the twenty-month case money, Zhao Jun wants to use this matter to see to what extent the old people of Qi State hate the Qin State, and it can also be regarded as a kind of trial to see if they can use the benefits to subdue some of the people's hearts, if it is feasible, it can be used in all aspects in the future, and gradually ease the relationship, didn't someone say that the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

"However, Hou Ye, the county finances" Several scribes were hesitant, wanting to say that the county was in financial difficulties, but they didn't dare to say it because of Zhao Jun's might, and their faces turned red.

After Zhao Jun glanced at them, he understood that now the various taxes collected by the Qin Dynasty every year are serious, and there are many servitudes, and it would be good if the financial taxes in Linzi County could make up for these holes, how could they still pay the soldiers on a monthly basis.

"Don't worry, all this money will be borne by Ben Hou himself." Zhao Jun said in a deep voice, he was not afraid of others saying that he had different ambitions to gather the army, anyway, when he left, he had already told the emperor about Zhao Sheng's cemetery, and he had also conducted relevant tests.

The emperor didn't care about this, and gave him full authority to deal with it, one is that the first emperor has absolute self-confidence, even if Zhao Jun has 30,000 elite soldiers, he can't help it, he is still very confident in his son, and he is willing to let Zhao Jun become bigger, otherwise after a hundred years, who will protect the Qin Dynasty, Meng Yi and others are not as credible as their own family after all, Fusu is the emperor is virtuous enough, but the force is insufficient, I am afraid that it will not be able to deter the world, so the emperor wants Zhao Jun to assist Fusu, no matter what, the country is in the hands of his own son.

"Hou Ye is wise." Several people were relieved when they heard Zhao Jun say this, and Dong Peng also agreed to do so.

Zhao Jun said again: "Sima Xin, you can arrange to go to various counties with Ben Hou tomorrow to inspect." ”

Although Zhao Jun has no experience in governing the locality, he also knows that only by understanding the people's situation can he effectively govern the locality, and he also wants to take advantage of this time to wait for Tang Li to come back.

The overall land area of Linzi County is not large, a total radius of more than 200 miles, not counting Linzi, under the jurisdiction of three counties, one county is Nanpi near Dongjiao County, in the south of Linzi, Nanpi County is a plain, there are about 200,000 people, mainly relying on cultivated land crops.

Another county is Chang County, close to Jibei County, in the north of the Linzi army, there are 1780,000 people, this generation is more mountainous and forested, there are many people who make a living by hunting, the last county is Chen County by the sea, there are about 130,000 people, the terrain here is swampy, lakes and rivers are staggered, and there is a natural sea port that the sea protrudes into, not far from the east gate of the county, so most of the people here are fishing and hunting people, relying on aquatic products for a living, and occasionally they will take the waterway in the sea to help merchants transport goods to the south.

Of course, there is no need to say much about Linzi, with a population of 2340,000, most of them are businessmen engaged in business, some are students, Ren Xia, and the last small part is honest people.

For nearly a month, Zhao Jun traveled all over the land of the four counties, and had a general understanding of the terrain and folk customs.

The reason why the confrontation between the Linzi County government and the local people is serious is because the law and discipline of the imperial court are too strict, the taxes and forced labor are heavy, and the local officials are rough in management, so there is today's situation, just like Nanpi, Changxian and Chen County, all three of them are Qin people who are loyal to the imperial court and do things neatly and cheerfully, but because they are martial artists, their ability to govern the place is too poor, and they act too roughly.

However, Zhao Jun also found a problem from this, that is, after the reform of the law from the Shang Dynasty, the legal system of the Qin Dynasty was gradually stiffening, and there were many mistakes, which were no longer enough to deal with the current situation, so there was injustice.

The most important thing is that after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the Qin law was repetitive, and the inapplicability was more and more, so the people felt that the law was unfair, more or less important, so that the people rose up a strong sense of resistance, and they have not been able to adapt to the Qin law for ten years.

For these, Zhao Jun kept them in mind, and then imagined to himself how to deal with this relationship if he became the emperor, he felt that this was an invisible, invisible wealth, which was very important to him in the future.

In addition, Zhao Jun found that Sima Xin was indeed very talented, and he handled Linzi government affairs in an orderly manner within this month, which made Zhao Jun breathe a sigh of relief, and also learned a lot of experience, including Dong Fei, although the soldiers are not yet training, but 10,000 horse gang cavalry and 10,000 recruits can be safe, and the daily morning and evening work and rest are regular, which also shows that Dong Fei is a person who is an elite soldier.

However, the situation a month later made Zhao Jun very helpless, for a whole month, Dong Peng recruited with a preferential treatment of 20 yuan a month, but no soldiers were recruited, no one wanted to come, and even the people were secretly discussing, saying that this new Shenwu Marquis had some poisonous plans and was waiting for them.

Zhao Jun was worried about this, let alone governing the place like this, I am afraid that the 30,000 soldiers given by the imperial court will not be satisfied, and Zhao Jun is unwilling to force it, blocking the road behind, so it can only be delayed.

In this way, after a few more days, finally, Tang Li came, accompanied by the Lu family, all of whom moved over.

Zhao Jun is resting in the backyard with Wuxing, teasing the howling dog, the predicament of Linzi in the past few days has annoyed Zhao Jun, so he went to the backyard to relax and relax, I heard that Tang Li was back, Zhao Jun was overjoyed, and immediately went out with Wuxing, Tang Li came, maybe there is a way to deal with Linzi's affairs, although Sima Xin is talented, but he doesn't trust him too much, and Sima Xin is also cautious, you can do things before doing things, but if you want to ask him for his opinion, he is silent.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, I saw that Tang Li and the Lu family's brigade of carriages and horses were parked on the streets of the Hou Mansion, and there were more than a dozen teams of the Lu family's caravan and horses, and Lu Wen and his wife, as well as Lu Pheasant's brothers and sisters, were all standing at the front at this time.

"Meet Master Hou." Tang Li took the housekeeper Tang Shi, as well as the Lu family, and the next people and merchants, all visited at this time, and now Zhao Jun's identity is the son of the emperor, and the title is second only to the emperor Shenwu Marquis.

Zhao Jun took a step forward, first helped Lu Wen and his wife and said with a smile: "Okay, it's all your own family, you're welcome." ”

Hearing this, everyone got up, Zhao Jun couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lu Pheasant, smiled at each other, and without too many words, the joy of reunion was expressed in his eyes.

Lu Huan looked at Zhao Jun at this time and stopped talking, she still wanted to pester Zhao Jun boldly and hotly as usual, but thinking about her father's warning when she came, and Zhao Jun's identity now, she was a little scared.

Zhao Jun saw Lu Huan and smiled: "What's wrong with Grandma, aren't you happy to see your brother-in-law?" ”

"Ah no" Lu Huan waved her hand again and again, a little panicked, but when she saw Zhao Jun's encouraging smile, she immediately understood the meaning, and said with a smile: "I thought that my brother-in-law would not be that brother-in-law when he became the Hou Ye, hehe, now you are still." ”

As he spoke, Lu Wen jumped in front of Zhao Jun and naturally grabbed Zhao Jun's arm, Lu Wen and his wife were a little embarrassed, Tang Li smiled secretly, and Lu Pheasant smiled lightly without care.

"Who is this sister?" Lu Huanyou pointed at Wuxing and asked with a smile.

Wu Xing was not afraid of life, and stood up and said: "Hello, my name is Wu Xing, and I am very happy to meet you." ”

The eyes of Lu Pheasant, Lu Huan, and Wu Xing fought with each other in the air, and they closed it with a touch, and introduced themselves to each other.

In the end, Zhao Jun said: "Okay, come with me into the house, I have already ordered someone to prepare wine and food." ”
