This night, Zhao Chuan didn't sleep well, after all, the eldest grandson Wuchan didn't know what was wiped on his body, and there was always a fragrance that smelled very comfortable.

Zhao Chuan knew that it should be a woman's body fragrance, but he couldn't get it close in front of him, which made Zhao Chuan very painful.

So this night, Zhao Chuan didn't rest well.

It's the eldest grandson Wuzen, without Zhao Chuan's obstruction, he rolls around on the bed at will alone, and he can change several sleeping positions in one night, not to mention how refreshing and comfortable it is.

Regal City is a huge city, with a population of more than 500,000, and its prosperity is not reduced by the capital Xiping City.

Since he took over Huannan, Zhao Chuan, accompanied by Wen Teng, went to the Taishou Mansion to handle official business.

The eldest grandson Wuchan took a few ironclad soldiers out to play, accompanied by Wen Jie.

Everything, as if the tranquility has been restored, for the new identity, Zhao Chuan still needs to adapt, after all, he was once just a prince who was not taken seriously, and he has become a prince, and Zhao Chuan still needs to learn a lot.

First of all, two problems were placed in front of Zhao Chuan.

The first is the tax silver collected every month, according to the prosperity of the entire Huannan Prefecture, the tax silver is not to mention millions, hundreds of thousands per month should be very easy.

But sitting in the Taishou Mansion and looking at the account details, Zhao Chuan frowned again and again, and now the tax and silver collected every month are only a few thousand taels, which is completely abnormal.

The monthly salary plus the cost of military salaries will be two or three hundred thousand taels, that is, a loss every month.

If it was easy to explain like this before, after all, no one was in charge, but after Zhao Chuan came, he continued to do this without change, I am afraid that the emperor's eldest grandson Wuwu would not spare him.

Regarding the problem of low taxes and silver, Zhao Chuan must investigate it carefully, otherwise he can't afford to blame it.

In addition to the tax and silver, I don't know what the other problem is, looking at Yu Zheng who is thorning around the south below, Zhao Chuan said lightly: "Yu Thorn History, this king has encountered two major problems when he first arrived, and you can tell me what are the main reasons for each?"

Wen Teng stared at that Yu Zheng on the side, looking down on him very much, he was a state assassin, and he didn't do anything in office for several years, what is the difference between this kind of person and waste.

Yu Zheng shook his lips, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and whispered: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, originally this military power was assigned to Weichen, but now all the cities are self-respecting, and it is common not to listen to orders, so there are only more than 10,000 old and weak soldiers in Junwei City, and the tax problem is even more deducted by the cities Taishou privately, and the tax money sent here does not know how many layers of skin have been stripped of, and Weichen is also helpless." ”

Zhao Chuan listened to the music, sat on the bamboo and rattan Taishi chair, and shook his head frequently.

Wen Teng scolded angrily: "You coward, you stabbed Shi Bai around the south and let you sit, why don't you punish them for violating the law of the country?"

Yu Zheng looked frightened, and said very embarrassed: "Weichen knows that he is guilty, if he can punish Weichen, he would have written to impeach him, but he can ......"

"If there is any grievance, this king is in charge of you, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Zhao Chuan waved his hand and motioned for him to continue.

Yu Zheng pondered for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Although there are thirty-one cities around Nanzhou, there are thirty cities that were conquered by Chu Ge with his troops back then, so except for the state capital Junwei City, the Taishou of each city was personally appointed by General Chu Ge, and all of them were his confidants and favorite generals. ”

Wen Teng glared and said loudly: "It's your cowardly character that will make these people look at the king's law, what is he Chu Ge, just a general, King Zhao is killing the prince, not only that, but also being the master of the court, you have King Zhao to call the shots for you, you say you are afraid of a fart." ”

Yu Zheng said worriedly: "His Royal Highness King Zhao is naturally not comparable to Chu Ge, but Chu Ge is a popular person around the Queen Mother, even if the emperor can't do anything about him, if we punish those Taishou, we will offend him, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to make enemies with him when we first arrive." ”

Wen Teng rushed over, grabbed Yu Zheng's collar, glared at him angrily and said, "What the hell are you talking about, I see why you are so angry, Lao Tzu slashed you with a knife!"

Yu Zheng looked at Zhao Chuan in fright and begged for help: "King Zhao save me!"

Zhao Chuan slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! ”

Although Wen Teng was reluctant, he still let go of his hand and returned to stand behind Zhao Chuan.

Yu Zheng was almost frightened and cried by the mentally ill Wen Teng, trembling and hunched over, not daring to stand up straight.

If he wasn't still useful, Zhao Chuan would have removed him immediately.

Although Yu Zheng is not very talented, he at least knows more about Nanzhou, and it is more than enough to play the role of a tour guide for Zhao Chuan, who is not familiar with the place.

Normally, Zhao Chuan would have hesitated to make an enemy of Chu Ge, but now he has no worries.

"Yu Zheng, you only need to tell the king the information of the Taishou of these thirty cities, and tell the king truthfully, and the rest of the things will be handled by the king himself. ”

Zhao Chuan knew what Yu Zheng was afraid of, so he said this to dispel his worries.

"Well, these thirty ......" Yu Zheng nodded in response, and then told Zhao Chuan all the information about the Taishou of the thirty cities.

After understanding, Zhao Chuan ordered: "Yu Zheng, this king ordered you to immediately remove the more than 10,000 old and weak soldiers, and this king wants to reorganize the army of Junwei City, do you understand?"

"Oh, Weichen will do it. Yu Zheng received the order, and then retreated.

Looking at Wen Teng on the side, Zhao Chuan ordered: "Master Hou, can Xiao Wang entrust you with something?"

Wen Teng was frightened, and hurriedly said with a bitter face: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, don't joke with us, and ask me to do it, if you have anything, you can tell us, if we don't do it, we will never come back to see you." ”

Zhao Chuan smiled and said slowly: "This king needs you to invite all these Taishou to the state capital, just say that this king has something to discuss." ”

Wen Teng patted his chest and said with a smile: "Little things, wrap it up on me." ”

"Okay, there you go. Zhao Chuan nodded and waved at him.

After everyone left, Zhao Chuan looked at the plaque on the wall behind him, which read the words Zhengda Guangming.

"It's getting more and more interesting, this king wants to see if you are a foot taller than the devil, or a foot higher than this king. Zhao Chuan muttered to himself.

At noon, Wen Teng came back to his life.

As soon as he entered the house, Wen Teng said with a dark face: "His grandmother, these things don't know how to lift, they dare not come, and they say some reasons why fools can hear that they are lies!"

Zhao Chuan asked curiously, "What reasons do they say?"

Wen Teng said angrily: "Some say that the mother-in-law at home can't get out of the house just after giving birth, and some say that they can't go out because they are sick, and the propaganda of Taishou is the most excessive, and he even said that he has seen the yellow calendar, and it is not appropriate to go out today, you say that you are not angry, if it is not for the worry of affecting King Zhao's plan, I will cut the turtle grandson with one sword!"

Zhao Chuan was not surprised at all, and asked again: "None of them promised to come?"

Wen Teng's face was a little better, and he whispered: "That's not it, the Taishou of Beicheng and the Taishou of Haicheng agreed to come." ”

"Oh yes, at least two more can come, hard work, go back and rest. Zhao Chuan let out a smile.

Wen Teng said with a dark face: "King Zhao, don't you take me as a joke, only two Taishou are still good, but I obviously smashed it." ”

Zhao Chuan said unhappily: "Hou Ye, I have recently become Hou Ye, I found that you are very sensitive, what is our relationship, even if one of us does not come, can I laugh at you? Am I not ashamed of you when you are ashamed? Isn't it a joke for me to laugh at you." ”

After Zhao Chuan said this, Wen Teng's face turned even redder, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuan didn't plan to continue joking with him, shook his head and said, "Tease you, judging from the current situation, they are loyal to Chu Ge, and they are naturally cold to me, the prince, everything is expected." ”

An hour later, the two Taishou who came from the dust saw Zhao Chuan in the state council room.

"Don't be too guarded by Zhang Tao to kill His Royal Highness the Prince!" Zhang Tao knelt on one knee and bowed in a deep voice.

"Haicheng guards Zhou Wu too much, see the prince!" Zhou Wu, who was strong and strong, also greeted him with a voice like a bell.

Zhao Chuan smiled slightly, and hurriedly said, "Don't be formal, give a seat quickly." ”

After Zhao Chuan's observation, this Zhang Tao looked like a weak scholar, but the fluctuation of the Xuan power on his body showed that he was not a mortal either.

And Zhou Wu, who has a beard on his face, is a master just by looking at his appearance, and the golden armor on his body is shining brightly.

"I don't know if His Royal Highness King Zhao has anything to discuss?" Zhou Wu asked first.

Zhao Chuan looked at him, muttered and said: "I am not familiar with Huannan when I first arrived, and many things still have to rely on the two adults, I hope that the two adults can assist the king wholeheartedly, so that if you go around the south and Taiping, you can ask the saint for the two of you." ”

Zhang Tao clenched his fists and said: "His Royal Highness King Zhao is serious, assisting you is our business, and I dare not say anything." ”

This sentence is very general, seemingly friendly, but also ambiguous.

It is not difficult for Zhao Chuan to guess from this sentence that this Zhang Tao is still waiting, and he will not help him until he sees Zhao Chuan clearly.

But Zhang Tao can also be regarded as a vague statement, if Zhao Chuan is wise, he can go all out, otherwise Zhang Tao will ignore Zhao Chuan.

Zhou Wu suddenly said in a deep voice: "Ransom the officials are talkative, except for Zhang Taishou and the lower officials in the entire Nanzhou, the rest of the Taishou can only recognize the general, whether they can recognize King Zhao is not necessarily, if you want to make achievements and changes, I am afraid it will take some difficulty, I don't know if King Zhao understands these things, and how do you plan to deal with it?"

After saying this, Zhao Chuan immediately judged whether he was friend or foe.

Although this Zhou Wu came to follow orders like Zhang Tao, he was obviously not a friendly army, but an enemy who came to inquire about the news.

It was the representatives sent by these disobedient Taishou, and the goal was to find out the truth of Zhao Chuan, and after they returned, they would discuss how to deal with Zhao Chuan together.

Zhao Chuan laughed, looked at Zhou Wu and said slowly: "Lord Zhou asked well, since this is the case, then this king will be ugly and tell the two of you about my rectification policy." ”

"May I hear you. After Zhou Wu finished speaking lightly, he glanced at Zhang Tao with deep meaning.
