On the way to Xiongzhou, Qin Guan found that the closer he got to the border, the more desolate it became, which was very different from the prosperity of the land south of the Yangtze River. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}

The people were in a hurry, rushing for life.

A month later, I finally came to Ohara Castle, the capital of Hexi.

After settling in an inn, Qin Guan took out a blank prayer note and wrote three copies, asking Qin Mao to take Xiong Da Xiong Er and send them out.

When he took office at the local level, the first thing he did was to meet Shangguan, that is, to report that Qin Guan was the prefect of Xiongzhou, so he naturally had to show his face here to the governor, political envoy, and admiral Xuezheng, and after meeting Shangguan, Qin Guan was officially inaugurated.

Shen Yichen, this guy took office, and when he saw Shangguan, he did not visit the governor, but the prefect, and he came with Qin Guan, the top boss, so he saved this formality.

When he got up the next morning, Qin Guan changed into his official uniform, sat in the sedan chair he rented last night, and took Xiong Daxiong Er out of the house, and the first stop was naturally to go to the governor's yamen.

In the back hall of the governor's yamen, Duan Zhongqiu, the governor of Hexi, met him, Duan Zhongqiu is in his fifties this year, with a short beard, and looks at Qin Guan with a pair of detailed eyes, and the first feeling that Qin Guan gives him is that he is so young.

I think that back then, I was only admitted to the second-class jinshi after middle age, but fortunately, I followed the right person later, and was promoted by Zeng Xiangguo, so I sat in the position of governor of Hexi step by step.

Qin Guan in front of him was young, and he was directly crowned the prefect after winning the examination, which made him, a Shangguan, a little embarrassed.

Duan Zhongqiu said with a serious face: "Xiongzhou is located at the junction of the three countries, and the people's livelihood is complicated. You are the champion of today's department, the imperial court sent you to naturally believe in your ability, after you arrive in Xiongzhou, you must make some achievements as soon as possible, I don't want to evaluate your performance next year, and directly evaluate you as unqualified. ”

"I still have official business to deal with, so I won't keep you longer."

Governor Duan didn't use any drama of serving tea to send guests, and directly opened his mouth to drive people away.

Before Qin Guan came, his father Qin Zhang naturally told him about the situation in Hexi, Qin Guan knew that this Governor Duan was a proper Zeng Party, Qin Guan offended Zeng Yu, as a member of Zeng Party, he would definitely not have a good face for him.

Qin Guan stood up, raised his hand and saluted, "Then the official will leave." ”

After speaking, he strode out of the governor's yamen.

It's not that Qin Guan doesn't want to have a good relationship with Shangguan, the main thing is that the two sides have become fire and water, there is Zeng Yu Shen Zheng's factional dispute, and there are also Qin Guan and Zeng Yu's personal grievances, the contradictions are irreconcilable, and if you want Duan Zhongqiu to appreciate him, it is absolutely impossible, since this is the case, Qin Guan will not be stupid to post someone's cold ass.

Coming out of the governor's yamen, Qin Guan went straight to the political envoy's yamen.

Qin Guan reported according to the courtesy, and soon the door came back to invite Qin Guan in, as soon as he entered the main hall, Qin Guan saw Shen Xiangyan, the political envoy standing in the main hall and looking at him with a smile, Qin Guan hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The lower official Qin Guan has seen Lord Shen." ”

Shen Xiangyan nodded with a smile, "It is worthy of being the champion of today's department, the word immortal who was personally given by the official family, he is really a talent, you show less travel, I will call you less in the future." ”

Shen Xiangyan was very close.

This political envoy Shen Daren's father has also introduced it, and it is very detailed, speaking of which, this is the real Shen Party, speaking of which, he is still Shen Zheng's nephew, and he is naturally a little closer to the same Shen Party.

Qin Guan listened to his father's introduction at that time, and sighed in his heart, this officialdom relationship is really complicated, and with such an arrangement, I don't know if the emperor intends to contain and balance the forces of all parties.

Shen Xiangyan beckoned Qin Guan to sit down, and said earnestly: "Before you, I have received a letter from Shen Xiangguo, asking me to take care of it more, you are new to Hexi, the situation in Xiongzhou is more complicated, and I am afraid that there are many things waiting for you to be busy after taking office." ”

"Last year, the Liao State sent a 10,000-strong army to the border, and the Xin'an Army fought a fight, the Xin'an Army was defeated and the loss was not small, Han Shicheng was seriously injured, the Liao ** team invaded 300 miles in our country, and hit the city of Dayuan, and then all parties mobilized troops to encircle, plus the Liao State was only a tentative attack, robbed a group of materials and population, and retreated before winter."

"However, after this incident, Xiongzhou has also suffered from the military disaster, and now it has not really recovered, the following report, there are still tens of thousands of local people stranded in Xiongzhou City, Xiongzhou Yamen has repeatedly reported to the governor Yamen and the political envoy Yamen for help."...

"Now that you are in office, the first thing you will do is to resettle these displaced people and solve the food problem, all of which need to be personally controlled by you, and there must be no civil unrest."

"There is also the question of taxation, Xiongzhou suffered from a military disaster, and the local government reported that it wanted to reduce the tax burden, and we have reported the documents to the imperial court, but until now there has been no approval, and it is about to be the time to collect half a year's tax burden."

"If the imperial court does not pay taxes and does not allocate disaster relief funds, and the tax burden in the second half of the year cannot be collected, your life in Xiongzhou will not be easy, where will the local expenses come from, how to deal with the victims, and how to raise the army, you must have a plan in your heart."

"And then there'......."

Shen Xiangyan came up and talked about the government affairs of Xiongzhou, and everything was a very thorny problem, there was no tax exemption or relief for the military disaster, thinking about it, there was a problem, and the court didn't know where to talk about it.

Qin Guan frowned and asked, "Your Excellency, I don't know if the province can give Xiongzhou some assistance to alleviate the current predicament." ”

Shen Xiangyan thought for a while and said: "The situation in Hexi is not optimistic, and the finances are not rich, but since you have spoken, I must help you, so let's let Taiping allocate 100,000 catties of grain to you." ”

100,000 catties of grain, a lot.

Qin Guan was happy at first, but after a little calculation, he immediately felt that it was wrong.

100,000 catties, converted into 50 tons of grain.

Damn, Hyundai is just a truck.

And this is still grain with shell, if the shell is removed, it is estimated that it will be about 40 tons.

40 meals of food to feed more than 10,000 displaced people,

Even if one person has one pound of food a day, 10,000 people will only have enough to eat for 8 days.

It's dry enough.

Qin Guan converted it in his heart again, 00,000 jin is almost more than 800 stones, if according to the current price of grain in the Great Zhao Kingdom, a bucket of japonica rice is 00 wen, and one stone is 000 yuan, that is, consistently.

Okay, our political envoy is very generous and face-giving, and he supported Qin Guan with 800 yuan.

Eight hundred!

Damn, my brother took out a glass ball and bounced you to death.

But this is already good, this is still your own person, otherwise people will not give you a piece of food.

Qin Guan said goodbye to Shen Xiangyan, and there was an extra slip in his hand that could go to Taiping to receive 00,000 catties of grain, which could be regarded as some gain.

He turned his head and went to the Admiral Xuezheng Yamen.

As soon as he received the report, the academic master personally ran out to greet Qin Guan, an old man in his fifties, came up and grabbed Qin Guan's hand, making Qin Guan feel flattered, this one is too enthusiastic.

Look at the old guy's eager eyes.

It can't be an old rabbit, right?

However, this guy is thin and small, and he can knock him away with one punch, so he is not afraid of being attacked by him.
