In another big tent in the guard camp, officials at all levels of Nanyang City from the Tang Dynasty to the Yamen gathered here under the leadership of the prefect Yan Riyu, and many people were still dressed up, that is, wearing official uniforms and hats, after all, they were here to participate in a banquet of the marquis, and they had to be formal

"Meet the Lucky Star Marquis!" As soon as Lu Wang walked in, he knelt on the ground, presumably the matter of Lu Wang's feudal marquis had spread all over Nanyang City in a short period of time, but he ,,, not even knelt......

Lu Wang pulled up Zhu Yuzhen at the front: "I said that the prince, you fold my birthday, the joke is too big!" ”

"No, no, Daxian, you misunderstood, how dare I break your life, I'm an apprenticeship!" Tang Wang looked at Lu Wang with little stars in his eyes, this can make Lu Wang dizzy, this thing in front of him is a little wrong, he has goosebumps all over his body when he looks at it with that little eye, not to mention, and a mouth before is this king, this king's, now they call themselves me, by the way, and what the hell is that apprentice!

"Daxian, I have a reluctant request...... Zhu Yujing has forgotten the existence of the people around him, and he wants to show his sincerity when he pulls Lu Wang, but what kind of occasion is this, Lu Wang has such an important thing to do, where is there time to talk nonsense with him now, and he interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Lord Wang, please wait a moment, I will talk back if I have something to say, now let's have a meeting first!" ”

Meeting? Everyone was dizzy, they thought that the Marquis of Lu Wang had a banquet to celebrate today, and many people brought congratulatory gifts! How to look at Hou Ye's expression as if there is something important.

Everyone sat down, and Lu Wang's expression was serious, "You only know that I am a marquis, but you don't know that I will leave immediately!" ”

"Ahh Why is Hou Ye in such a hurry? The crowd was puzzled

"Because the Qing army has entered the fortress and has reached Shandong, the emperor ordered me to send troops immediately!" Lu Wang's words stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone was in an uproar!

"I've sent a pioneer to leave tonight, and I'm leaving tomorrow at the latest," Lu Wan said, with a wry smile on his face, "To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to stay in Nanyang for a long time." Anyway, I met and met with you, and I felt a little emotion in my heart", and said and picked up the wine glass: "It's all in the wine, it's dry!" ”

"Master Hou summoned me and waited, but what are the orders!" After a round of drinking, Yan Riyu got up and hugged his fists.

"Yes!" Lu Wang nodded, "After I leave, 100,000 captives will stay to open up wasteland and build roads and cities, and please take care of them when the time comes!" ”

"Ah, more than 100,000 people! But Master Hou, after you leave, in case these people ......" Yan Riyu is very worried!

"Rest assured. I have already dealt with it, and I will leave 6,000 reserves here to suppress the position, and Zuo Liangyu is in charge, by the way, Zuo Liangyu is now my person, you should take good care of it", Lu Wang said and smiled slightly!

"Your people?" Yan Riyu frowned!

"Yes! He has already resigned from the imperial court, and now he will work for me", Lu Wang smiled and turned his head to look at Zhu Yujian, "Lord Wang." You'll have to take good care of me in the future! ”

Zhu Yuyi nodded hurriedly, he almost understood what Lu Wang meant, because almost everyone knew that Lu Wang didn't like Zuo Liangyu, and with his old fritters, he naturally thought that Zuo Liangyu's resignation had a great connection with Lu Wang. Lu Wang didn't mean to really ask him to take care of Zuo Liangyu, he was just reminding him to keep an eye on him!

"When the time comes, I will leave a handful of rice and money to provide for the food and money of these captives. The reserve army is responsible for the day-to-day management, and as for the registration of personnel and the handling of residence procedures, you will have to help you! Lu Wang looked at Yan Riyu and said

"Master Hou. What is the residency procedure? "There are many people who don't understand this like Yan Riyu!

"There are more than 100,000 captives here, except for a small number of people whose ancestral homes are Shanxi and Shaanxi, and most of the rest are native to Henan. As for the residence procedures, theoretically, these captives have the freedom to choose whether to return to their hometowns or stay here to work, and if they want to return to their hometowns, they will open the way for them, go through the formalities of leaving, and stay to work and get married. "Louvain said a lot in one breath!

"Office?" This time it was Zhu Yujian's turn to speak, and there was a faint look of joy on his face!

"Yes, this is the office of the Ming Army, in addition to being responsible for supervising the affairs of the prisoners, it also has the responsibility of supervising local officials, and it is specifically aimed at corruption and bribery, my office is called the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and it can also be called the Independent Commission Against Corruption!"

"This ......" The faces of the yamen officials at the table immediately changed, and everyone's hearts were turned upside down, thinking about everything, and scolding a lot!

"Dare to ask Lord Hou, your office is the emperor's ......" Yao Yunxi, the magistrate of the county, knew what he was going to say as soon as he opened his mouth, and immediately interrupted, "This office was set up by my Ming Army, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court, and there will be such an office in all parts of the Ming Dynasty in the future!" Of course, if you want the emperor to approve it, I'll do it! ”

Everyone was silent, and the private supervision of the imperial court was unique throughout the ages, which made the traditional them unable to understand and accept it for a while, but they dared to be angry in the face of Lu Wang!

"I know what you think, but don't worry too much, the office only supervises and does not enforce the law and does not participate in political affairs, of course, you can also supervise each other, supervise whether my people are suspected of knowing the law and breaking the law, and as long as it is confirmed, there will be a heavy reward!"

Oh, I see, the people who were originally disgusted in their hearts had a little pleasure, they were really worried that Lu Wang would become Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian's miasma in the world! It doesn't look like that! Lu Wang is not a man of his word, he also has the power of anti-regulation, and at the same time, these people of his are only responsible for supervision and have no law enforcement power, which is good!

Reducing corruption in the government and making officials honest is a big problem, throughout the ages, all countries have no absolute good way, but the two independent systems supervise each other much more effectively after all, of course, the possibility of collusion between the two systems is not ruled out! It's just that there is no such perfect thing in the world, and Rwann is just doing his best.

"I know that this will greatly reduce your income", Lu Wang looked at the embarrassed expression of forced joy on the table and smiled slightly, "I understand your difficulties, the salary is so low, it is difficult to support your family, you can't live without making some money, there is a saying that cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents, rest assured that I will not do such a desperate job." Now I have good news for you, the emperor will issue an edict soon, and you civil servants will all increase your salary! ”

Quiet, very quiet, when there should have been applause, everyone only looked at him stupidly, which made Lu Wang cry and laugh, "Yu Lu, you are going to raise your salary, at least twice as much as now!" ”

Yes! Sure enough, it was a short circuit caused by cultural differences. Now that it is clear that it is the salary increase, everyone immediately showed a sincere smile on their faces! Full of sincerity!

"Nanyang has been tax-free for two years, and the commercial tax will be collected, by the way, I will say hello to you first, the commercial tax will be raised soon", Lu Wang said while eating, but where can the others eat! This news is one after another, and it is overwhelming, and the little heart can't stand it!

"In the future, businesses must apply for a business license. Register for tax payment and go to my office for free licenses, only for those businesses that have stores, and don't need to do it for stalls. No taxes are charged! Lu Wang scolded while talking psychologically, the taxes in this era of Daming are really enough, the merchants make a lot of money, the taxes are low and scary, and the farmers are miserable all year round. Taxes are outrageously high!

Just like that, while eating, just half an hour passed, and everyone at the banquet had mixed tastes. Rwan's revelation of too much information makes it impossible for them to digest it all at once, but on the whole, they are sincerely impressed, whether it is tax reform, regulation, or agricultural tax exemption, etc., none of what Rwann has done is for himself. I can't help but secretly admire!

"Young Master, Young Master, the Holy Decree has arrived!" At this moment, Ma Han ran over in a hurry, "There are a lot of eunuchs and Jinyi guards at Yingkou, saying that they are preaching!" ”

"I guess it's my decree", Lu Wang smiled slightly, and everyone quickly got up to congratulate!

Sure enough, the mighty herald team is here for the Marquis of Luwang, and there should be no less rules and pomp, looking at the gold inlaid jade in his hand and a few seals: Daming Fuxing Marquis, Lu! At that moment, the picture that appeared in Lu Wang's mind was very peculiar: on the uphill slope where the barren people and weeds were overgrown, there was a mound of green smoke curling on the top, and there seemed to be a dilapidated stone tablet in front of the mound, and the words on it were no longer clear, and a Lu could be faintly seen!

The banquet was dispersed, and the officials returned to the city with different moods and gifts they brought, but Lu Wang did not accept their congratulatory gifts, in his words, to lead by example, but the actual psychology was not to look down on those things!

The barracks are still noisy, all battalions are sorting out materials and preparing to pull out the camp, the busiest is the military affairs office, all kinds of registrations have made them anxious, Li Yan is still writing something quickly in the military tent of Lu Wang, which is according to Lu Wang's meaning to the emperor to fold, such as exempting agricultural taxes in some areas, raising commercial taxes, and allowing themselves to set up discipline inspection offices, in fact, the last item Lu Wang could not have said, but between Chongzhen's suspicious personality or say hello to him, to avoid this nonsense!

And the most important thing is that Lu Wang wants to recruit, in the face of the Ming Dynasty's Gongyuan and Guozijian to recruit elites into the army, you must know that the army is all rough men, it is okay to fight with knives, there are too few administrative personnel who can write and paint, and it is obviously not enough to rely on the few originally trained by Lu Wang! And at this time, you must also say hello to Chongzhen!

"Lord Wang, it's ten o'clock now, why don't you go back, if you have something to say, you can say it, you say you have something to talk to me, and you don't say it when you come, what are you going to do," Li Yan wrote quietly next to him, Lu Wang smoked a cigarette and looked at Zhu Yuzhen in the corner with a wry smile on his face!

"I want to apprentice, Daxian, you accept me, accept me as an apprentice!" Zhu Yuhua suddenly knelt down, Lu Wang was fine, Li Yan next to him was scared and the pen in his hand almost fell! The prince knelt down to the Hou Ye to apprentice! Rare!

"Lord Wang, you're not drunk!" Lu Wang couldn't cry or laugh, so he quickly got up and went to pull Zhu Yujiao, but he didn't want to get up, "I'm not drunk", I want to apprentice! I want to learn immortal arts......

Hey, Lu Wang sighed: "Lord Wang, immortal arts are not something that can be learned if you want to, if you are so easy to learn, the streets will be full of immortals, get up, get up and talk!" ”

Finally, Zhu Yujian finally got up, "Lu Daxian, I'm not afraid of hardship, I have perseverance, I just ask you to accept me as an apprentice!" ”

"This has nothing to do with hardship and perseverance, the first thing to do in cultivating immortal art is to see if there is a spiritual root, whether there is spiritual energy, you are all old, and you are about to enter the coffin, and the spiritual energy on your body is long gone, and you can't learn it!" Lu Wang just wants to get rid of this haunting ghost quickly!

"What are you talking about, this king is just forty, why did he just see him enter the coffin", Zhu Yujing was very unconvinced and was about to fight with Lu Wang!

"It's no difference, cultivating immortals must open the spiritual aperture before the age of twelve to be able to become immortals, you can't do it!" Rwann replied casually!

"Ahh That's it, Daxian, don't lie to me, how can I hear the Taoists say......" Zhu Yujian's face was full of disappointment

"The Taoist said, the Taoist put a p, you also believe it, the Taoist said a lot, how many immortals have you seen with your own eyes? Lao Tzu has been cultivating immortals for three hundred years, and he is not afraid to smash the golden signboard, what good is it for me to deceive! Lu Wang's face was angry, but Zhu Yuyi's face was surprised, "Ah, three hundred years, it turns out that the Great Immortal is already three hundred years old!" ”

cough cough cough, Lu Wang looked very embarrassed: "Three hundred and thirty years old, it's my birthday tonight!" It's a secret, don't tell anyone."

"Ah, tonight is the day of the three hundred and thirty years of Daxian's birth, it is worth celebrating, it is worth celebrating, Daxian is my birthday gift to you, you must accept it", Zhu Yujin came in with a small box from the hands of the people outside the tent between words!

"That's not good, I just said that you can't take bribes......" Lu Wang's eyes lit up when he saw the box, but he pretended to refuse!

"Where is this bribery, this is a birthday gift!" Zhu Yujian was very anxious, for fear that Lu Wang would not accept it, so he quickly opened the box and took out a scroll: "Daxian, this is a treasure, I guarantee you like it!" ”

"Really?" Lu Wang took it and opened it, this is a calligraphy work, Long Feifeng Wu can't recognize a few words, "What is this writing?" As he spoke, he looked at one of the stamps below, "Rice persimmon?" I've never heard of this man! Zhu Yuzhen rolled his eyes and three lines, "Lu Daxian, this is Mi Fu!" ”

"Mi Fu?" A flash of light flashed in Lu Wang's mind, and he said to himself: "I seem to have heard of this person, I have mentioned it in Chinese textbooks before, and I seem to have heard it famous."

"Not only is he famous, he is one of the four Song families", Zhu Yuzhen hurriedly said, and even Li Yan next to him couldn't help but look up and look this way

"Song Sijia?" Lu Wang was stunned, "Su Mi Huang Cai? ”

"Exactly!" Zhu Yuzhen looked forward to it, "Is this object in the eyes of the Great Immortal?" He was afraid that Lu Wan would come again, and he wouldn't like it!

"Then I'll have to try", Lu Wan casually put the ring into his hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "Beloved! ”

"Since I have accepted your things, I will not treat you badly!" Lu Wan said and took out a bottle of pills, and quickly tore off the label on it! "You can't cultivate immortal arts, but I have some bone washing and marrow elixir, I can give you a little, twice a day, three pills each time, and you can prolong your life after taking it for a long time!"

Zhu Yuzhen was overjoyed, and immediately bowed his head and bowed, "Thank you for the gift of Daxian!" Stretched out his hand and unscrewed it impatiently, uh, such a small elixir, and six a day, it won't take long! ”

"It's enough for a month, if we still have fate in the future, I'll give it to you, this elixir is not easy to refine, I don't have any extra on me, just this bottle was originally intended to be given to the emperor!" Lu Wang smiled slightly, and Zhu Yujing immediately understood again, "There must be fate, there must be!" ”

"Well, it's not early, the prince should go home early, oh yes, eat this elixir, but close to women, the effect of yin and yang is better, but you can't indulge in lust, you have to be moderate, otherwise it will backfire!" Lu Wan finally admonished!

"Then dare to ask Daxian, what is moderation?" Zhu Yujian, who was ecstatic and about to leave, hurriedly turned around and asked!

"Three to four times a month is best!" After speaking, Lu Wang waved goodbye! Needless to say, he has been focusing on bragging for thirty years, and the so-called elixir is just a six-flavor rehmannia pill! (To be continued......)
