After a month of visits and inspections, Zhao Xiaoxi, who was on the return trip, could clearly feel that the counties of Qiongzhou were undergoing earth-shaking changes. In particular, he personally visited several Li tribes living in the high mountains and informed these tribal leaders of the new policy of Qiongzhou.

These are not stubborn tribal leaders, and they are naturally flattered by Zhao Xiaoxi's sincerity. Especially when they heard Zhao Xiaoxi say that they would set up villages and towns in Qiongzhou to give them a place to live, they were even more grateful.

Secondly, Zhao Xiaoxi also said that in the villages and towns they moved to in the future, except for the chief official, the other county and town officials can be served by young people from their tribes. The prerequisite is to meet the requirements of the officials and not to be too biased towards their own people.

This series of favorable conditions, coupled with Zhao Xiaoxi and these tribal leaders, personally high-fived the oath. These are also in order to survive, and the Li people who finally chose to move to the mountains also began to bring their families down the mountain.

Looking at the place Zhao Xiaoxi found for them, there are mountains, rivers and fields, and these Li people, who already have Han blood, also quickly liked the life under the mountain. For the medical center they requested, Cho Hyo-seok also gave priority to arrange.

In short, with the end of Zhao Xiaoxi's inspection in Qiongzhou, the people living in Qiongzhou are all grateful to him. Even some officials who were dealt with couldn't say anything resentful about Zhao Xiaoxi's behavior.

Some kind-hearted people who had to go up the mountain to survive heard the introduction of their family members and acquaintances. also walked out of the mountains one after another and went to the government to confess their guilt and surrender to the law. The government also treated them well according to the law.

Except for the thieves who committed the most heinous crimes, they did not dare to go down the mountain and enter the city, and the good people who had no life in their hands began to go down the mountain and return to normal life. As long as they are willing to endure hardships, they will not have to worry about finding things to do in the local area.

Opposite. Today's Qiongzhou seems to be in ruins, and many factories and government governments are suffering from a lack of labor. For this kind of thing, Zhao Xiaoxi doesn't have a good way. I could only write a letter to the prefect of Leizhou and ask him to organize the people to go to Qiong to work.

In this way, the change of Qiongzhou. Naturally, it aroused the curiosity of the people outside the island. Some ordinary people who moved from Qiongzhou naturally returned one after another when they learned that as long as Qiongzhou did not worry about food and clothing, and did not have to worry about the oppression of the landlords and the government.

In order to ensure the smooth transportation between the two places, Zhao Xiaoxi ordered Yue Laosan to temporarily use some large warships as transport ships. The people who have always been outside Qiongzhou Island and have difficulties in life will be relocated to the county capitals of Qiongzhou for resettlement.

When Zhao Xiaoxi returned to the palace of Qiongzhou. Qiongzhou, which is the seat of the palace, is also like a different place. There are houses under construction everywhere, and the roads that have been repaired are now full of traffic.

As the strict law of the prefect of Qiongzhou, this time is naturally painful and happy. If it weren't for the old prince Zhao Hao, who shared some things for him, Yan Lu also felt that he would like to break himself in half.

I learned that Cho Hyo-seok was back. Naturally, he came to the door as soon as possible and asked him to send more people to help deal with it. More and more government affairs. In this regard, Zhao Xiaoxi was very simple, asking him to send a letter to the eldest brother in Xinnancheng and send cutting-edge officials over.

However, thinking of the preparations for the end of the year to raise troops in the Li Dynasty, Zhao Xiaoxi still said: "Lord Yan." This year, the main task of the state capitals and county governments in Qiongzhou is to restore the people's livelihood and let the people live and work here in peace and contentment.

The king has already ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to mobilize funds and materials to improve the construction of roads throughout Qiongzhou as soon as possible. As long as the roads in the states and counties are repaired. When commerce flourishes, the lives of the people of Qiongzhou can also improve.

It's just that what this king wants to say is that the next things in government affairs, I'm afraid that you will need to bother with other officials. This year, if nothing else, the king will focus on military preparations.

Before the end of the year, the king decided to raise troops against the Li Dynasty. If the imperial court agrees, the time for sending troops may be brought forward. In addition, at the beginning of next year or the end of the battle of the Li Dynasty, this king will raise troops to Goryeo.

In short, this king has a lot of things on his hands. Since my father is in government affairs, he can be helpful to Lord Yan. In the future, Lord Yan will discuss with his father more about government affairs, and if there is any need, just mention it. ”

As soon as he heard that there was going to be a war, Yan Lu said in surprise: "Lord Wang, the army is raising in Goryeo, and the lower officials already know." But why, do you want to raise troops for the Li Dynasty? Is such a small border country worth raising troops on a large scale? ”

In this regard, Zhao Xiaoxi said very seriously: "Lord Yan, don't underestimate this Li Dynasty, their current lord is a very ambitious guy. In the early years of the emperor, the war he provoked led led to the death and injury of nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians on the Quang Nam West Road.

In recent years, incidents have been repeatedly created at the border. If such a small border country is not eliminated, how can Qiongzhou be able to maintain long-term stability. What's more, the new palace of Qiongzhou is established, and it is necessary to kill chickens and scare monkeys, so that these small countries in the southeast should not be too presumptuous. ”

It is clear that what Zhao Hyo-seok has decided is generally difficult to change, and Yan Lu doesn't say anything. Moreover, he also knows that Qiongzhou is related to Zhao Xiaoxi's foundation, and if the foundation is not stable, freedom is not what he wants.

After talking with Yan Lu for a while, Zhao Xiaoxi found his father again and told him about the Xingbing Li Dynasty. Zhao Hao also agrees with his approach. The reason is very simple, this war made Shenzong very angry back then.

The emperor of the Li Dynasty, who has now succeeded to the throne, is also eyeing the three states of Guangnan in the Great Song Dynasty. This made Zhao Hao, who was the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, naturally very much in favor of raising troops to fight.

Since his son could not go to the north to raise troops for the time being, building his prestige in the south would also help to enhance his reputation in the Great Song Dynasty. In these years, if the prince doesn't do anything, he will gradually be forgotten.

Like him, King Xu, he is regarded as an idle prince in the capital, and no one takes him too seriously except for the respect on face. If you go out of Beijing, you can only stay in your own one-third of an acre.

But Zhao Xiaoxi, the prince, is different, on the surface, he still has to follow Zhao Xu's scheduling. But in fact, Cho Hyo-seok has absolute autonomy. With soldiers in hand and power and territory, it is okay to act without looking at the emperor's face.

It's just that if you want to board that dragon chair in the future, then Zhao Xiaoxi must need popular popularity and military power. The popularity of the people is nothing more than to make the people feel that Zhao Xiaoxi can bring them safety and a good life.

As for military power, it is even easier to say, that is, there are elite soldiers in hand. But where do the elite soldiers come from, the only way to start a war is to start a war. Through war, build a truly strong and experienced elite army.

Zhao Xiaoxi naturally knows his father's expectations. It's just that Zhao Xiaoxi knows better that some things can't be rushed, and it is the safest way to go step by step according to the plan.

Although others are in Qiongzhou, he is also very aware of what happened in the court. Thinking of the twists and turns on the road last time, Zhao Xiaoxi said with a slight inquiry: "Father, what do you think of the Su brothers?" ”

Zhao Hao said with a little doubt: "The Su brothers you are talking about, can you refer to the two brothers of Lord Su, the servant of this dynasty?" What's wrong with them? Nothing will happen, right? No matter what happens to the official family, they won't do anything to them, right? ”

Thinking of the surname Su in the court, and the brother is an official in the same dynasty, except for Su Zhe, the servant of the door, and Su Shi, the governor of Dingzhou, there should be no second Su brother. The Su family was in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was also a civil official family, and its influence among civil officials cannot be ignored!

Seeing that his father guessed some clues, Zhao Xiaoxi did not hide it: "Some time ago, the official family changed the year name to the first year of Shaosheng. Because of the tax matter, Lord Su wrote to annoy the official family, and was demoted from the court to serve as the governor of Ruzhou.

His younger brother Su Shi was also implicated, was relieved of his post as governor of Dingzhou, and was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Yuanning Army. They can also be said to be full of loyalty, but when they are old, they end up like this, and their son really can't look at it.

Previously, his son had sent a letter to Zhang Danchen, asking him to transfer Su Shi to Danzhou Renzhizhou. Thinking about coming here, the excerpt has arrived in the capital. If he doesn't let go, the king will let him see what it means to provoke the king. ”

Hearing that the Su brothers were demoted, Zhao Hao couldn't help frowning and said, "What's wrong with the official family?" The Su brothers are also rare loyal ministers in this dynasty. How could they suffer this fate when they usually participate in party disputes? ”

Regarding Zhao Hao's sigh, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because of their brothers that they do not participate in party struggles." As a result, the official family became angry, and no one pleaded for them from the old and new ministers, and even some officials fell into the ground.

Party strife ultimately hurts the vitality of the imperial court, why can't the officials see this? Now that the new party is gaining power, the old officials are also fighting on their grounds. The entire court has become a place for vegetable vendors to bargain, which is really infuriating! ”

In the face of this kind of party dispute, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't have much to say. Zhao Xiaoxi, who knows this harm, is also strictly forbidden to form gangs among the officials of the six ministries today. Although it has not happened now, there is no guarantee that it will not happen in the future.

But he knew at least one thing that it was desirable for officials to fight on the basis of facts. But for the sake of personal selfish interests and disregard for the interests of the country, then this kind of struggle is fatal. It's also something he absolutely won't allow!

Thinking of the Su Shi who has been widely passed down in the past life, the Dongpo meat named after him has been inherited for thousands of years. Coupled with its prestige in the south of the Yangtze River, there are still many people who are grateful for its merits. Let him be a deputy envoy of the festival, which is undoubtedly overkill.

It just so happened that Qiongzhou was in a mess, and officials were urgently needed to come over to manage it, and Zhao Xiaoxi directly passed through personal relationships. Let Zhang Dian transfer Su Shi to Danzhou to serve as the governor. I believe that no one dares to persecute him anymore when he arrives here.

The second intention is also that Zhao Xiaoxi hopes to obtain the support of Soviet officials in this way. In any case, these civil officials are indispensable for governing the world. And there are also many protégés and former officials of the Su family, and their reputation seems to be not bad.

In fact, greeting Zhang Dian was just a step down the court. Otherwise, with Zhao Xiaoxi's temper, he directly invited Su Shi to Qiongzhou, he wanted to see who in the court dared to say a word! (To be continued......)
