Although it was only a cursory inspection of Tianshui, Wu Feng was already able to find that Tianshui had changed a little since He Jing took over Heshuo County, although it was not big, but at least it was a good start. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Maybe He Jing came from the Department of Culture and Health, or maybe the plague in Longquan and Montenegro was still echoing in the minds of the people of Heshuo, in short, Wu Feng saw that the number of various public and private clinics and medicine halls on the streets of Tianshui Fucheng was obviously much more than that of other prefectures and counties, and even more than Hanzhong City, which was his own place of governance.

From the known schools, He Jing also successfully introduced some famous private schools in the Jiangnan region to Tianshui, and it is said that the establishment of these private schools was strongly supported by local dye merchants and lacquer merchants. It should be said that the situation of merchants in various places is almost the same, and although the dye merchants and lacquer merchants are rich, they cannot be generous. They are not uninterested in this kind of donation, but it is a bit difficult to get them to spend a lot of money to support education. I don't know how this guy He Jing said that these guys can actually see the signboards of several private schools in this Tianshui City, and the locations are not bad.

It is very satisfying to be able to see this phenomenon in Tianshui, Heshuo County has experienced several wars and the situation is far inferior to the situation in the heyday, and Heshuo County is only ranked behind the three southeastern counties, and now, the two provinces of Longquan in Montenegro have been war-torn and have suffered from the plague, the economic situation is almost blank, and millions of people even need relief this winter and spring to barely get through, Heshuo's strength is only afraid that it has fallen far to Kansai, After Tiannan, even the northwest may have the strength to surpass Heshuo, how He Jing can rejuvenate this big county in the heart of the valley that has fallen to the bottom, it seems that it will take some energy.

The grand welcome reception made Wu Feng feel a little extravagant, especially when he thought that the two prefectures of Longquan and Montenegro still had as many as one million people relying on the government's relief to survive the winter, such a luxurious banquet made Wu Feng a little unhappy in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to keep a smile, but thinking about it, the Tianshui gentry were Tianshui gentry after all, and you had to let them spend too much effort to pay attention to the survival of the people in Longquan and Montenegro, which was obviously unlikely.

It is the best way to let Angel and Lin Yuexin deal with this kind of entertainment, both of them are familiar with this kind of thing, one is the future queen, and the other is the future imperial concubine, although the official does not clearly point it out, but the slightly well-informed people are clear about this, and they can understand it unmistakably from the tone of the close ministers around His Royal Highness King Qin. In the face of Yongrong and An Qi'er and the elegant and generous Lin Yuexin, the nobles, gentry and industrial and commercial representatives of Tianshui quickly shifted their attention to the future mistresses of the two empires, so that even the quiet disappearance of His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Governor as the other two important guests did not attract much attention.

The sharp-eyed Governor of Heshuo soon noticed that His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who was a guest, did not seem to be in a very happy mood, and his expressionless face only seemed slightly soothing when he quietly said goodbye to the future Empress and Imperial Concubine, and as soon as he stepped into the darkness of the banquet hall, He Jing could clearly feel that His Royal Highness the King of Qin seemed to be very dissatisfied with this welcome ceremony.

"He Jing, have you settled down in Longquan and Montenegro?" It seems that the situation in various places is not as optimistic as imagined, although the social situation has stabilized, but the living difficulties faced by the people in each county are already objective, and when they are about to ascend the throne, the people's expectations seem to have become higher, which also increases the difficulty of the government affairs office and local political axes at all levels, and the northern region of the empire seems to be more focused.

"Your Highness, to be honest, the situation is not very good, the political axe institutions in Montenegro and Longquan have just been established, and the people are also displaced people who have just returned from various places, due to the continuous war, almost more than half of the houses of the displaced people have been destroyed, there is no food reserves and winter clothing, there are no seeds and farm tools needed for spring ploughing, no livestock, almost a blank, the main task of the political axe institutions in the two prefectures is to help the people regain confidence in life, but there is a big gap in funds and materials. Almost all of the gentry and aristocrats in these two places fled to Yanjing, and many still have not returned, and even if they want to collect some supplies, it is quite difficult. ”

He Jing didn't want to hide anything in front of his boss, the situation was bad, there was nothing worth covering up, covering up the problem that could not be solved, and the ultimate responsibility was still on his head.

"Then what solution have you thought of to solve it?" Wu Feng also knew that what the other party said was the truth, the two prefectures of Longquan in Montenegro were the places where the military disasters were most severe, and the ravages of the Taiping Rebellion Army and the stragglers were trampled on, and the situation here was quite difficult.

"The Government Affairs Bureau has allocated a certain amount of funds and materials, and the subordinates belonging to Heshuo County have all been allocated to the two prefectures of Longquan in Montenegro, in addition, the subordinates have also sent people to Yanjing to invite the gentry and nobles of the two prefectures who stayed in Yanjing to return to their hometowns, these guys fled to Yanjing as apartments when their hometowns encountered war, and asked them to participate in the relief and preparation of their hometowns, otherwise, the subordinates will confiscate all their land in the name of abandoning the wasteland, which is estimated to have some effect. I also launched a fundraising campaign at the Heshuo Chamber of Commerce, hoping to raise some funds from Hejian, Jinzhong and Tianshui for relief. He Jing replied without thinking.

"Well, it is a good way to let those noble gentry return to their hometowns to participate in relief and preparation for farming, these guys will hide when they see that their hometown is in trouble, how can there be such a good thing? We can strengthen the propaganda offensive and praise those gentry who are enthusiastic about public welfare, and those who are rich and unkind can also use the media to expose them, so that the people can see their ugly faces, I believe that this method should have a certain effect, and may even be better than administrative means. Wu Feng's eyes lit up, He Jing still seemed to have some methods, and he actually thought of using the power of these squires.

"Your Highness is right, and your subordinates also have plans in this regard, if these guys don't comply, then your subordinates will not only let the media in Heshuo disclose the actions of these guys, but also plan to make Yanjing's newspapers and periodicals famous for them. He Jing smiled slightly, "In addition, his subordinates also plan to go to Yanjing to visit the incumbent and retired officials of the two provinces, as well as the wealthy businessmen who have settled in Yanjing, and ask them to lend a helping hand to help the people in their hometown tide over the difficulties." ”

"Well, mobilize forces in many ways, you must get through this winter and spring smoothly, uh, don't be too embarrassed, if there is really any difficulty, you can report it to Xiao Tang in time, there must be no outcasts and chaos. Wu Feng nodded, it seems that this guy still has some means, although he speaks very well, looking at his confident appearance, I am afraid that difficulties will be difficult, at least he will not stab himself.

"Your Highness, rest assured, although Heshuo is a little more difficult, but compared to Yan Yun and Beiyuan, I'm afraid it's still much better, and He Jing won't make it too difficult for Lord Xiao, you must know that when Lord Xiao passed by here in Beijing, he was afraid that his subordinates would complain to him, and he was telling his subordinates about his difficulties at any time. He Jing couldn't help but smile when he said this, it is not easy to be the chief of administration, now the sixteen counties of the empire, the counties and counties have their own problems, and in the end they still have to gather in the government affairs department, if they all reach out to him, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to do it.

He Jing could see the satisfied look in the eyes of His Royal Highness King Qin after his words, when is it now? The empire is about to be established, the King of Qin is about to ascend the throne, whoever makes a mess at this time because of his ineffective work is purely a joke with a black gauze hat on his head. Didn't he see that his neighbor, the Governor of Beiyuan, Wenming vigorously invited representatives of the industrial and commercial circles in Jiangnan to visit the provinces of Beiyuan, didn't he want to use his own influence and the influence of the Wen family to drive the industrial and commercial circles in Jiangnan into Beiyuan, so that the economy of Beiyuan could quickly recover and embark on the road of rapid development? However, this guy also has some skills, and the Wen family is also willing to invest for him, and even spent a huge amount of money to buy the original Miao family's iron ore share, and this income alone is enough to reduce the pressure on Lulong Mansion and Beiyuan County in disaster relief, not to mention the investment of the Jiangnan industrial and commercial community in other prefectures and counties in Beiyuan because of this incident. This is called the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers, whoever can make the economic development of their territory faster and better, then they will be able to prove their ability, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Government Affairs Department are only staring at the economic indicator.

"You understand, now there are difficulties everywhere, the government affairs office is also difficult to do, although the empire has been nominally unified, but many places are still occupied by foreign enemies, waiting for us to recover, and war means huge attrition, if our inland economy can not keep up, then it will not be able to support our military operations, and once we lose our military advantage, our national defense and even economic development will be affected, this truth still seems to be understood. Wu Feng glanced at the other party and said lightly.

He Jing can feel the meaning of His Royal Highness from the eyes of His Royal Highness King Qin, and he is also a pang in his heart, the last time Xiao Tang passed by here, he mentioned this issue intentionally or unintentionally, after the establishment of the empire, it will take a period of time to adjust and develop or continue to maintain a military offensive, this issue now seems to have different views at the top of Western Xinjiang, and this view is not only between the military and the political axe, it is said that even some generals in the military also agree that after the establishment of the empire, they will take a temporary break to adjust and develop the economy first, but this seems to have been severely refuted by His Royal Highness the King of Qin。
