Shangguan Xiu asked Gaidang to pull over a horse, and he rode forward with Caidang, Ziyin, Forsythia and others. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

During the march, he waved his hand from time to time and said to the people on both sides of the road: "All the villagers, get up! Such a great gift, the general of the defeated army, dare not be ashamed!"

"Your Highness has worked hard!" "Your Highness, the villain is willing to join the army!" "The villain is willing to follow His Highness and fight to the death against the rebels!" The young men among the people shouted loudly, and there were many old men among them.

Shangguan Xiu clenched his fists to the left and right, and said: "Xiu is here to thank you brothers, if there is a real need, Xiu will issue a conscription order, but Xiu still hopes that he can leave some blood for Zhenjun!"

The population of Zhenjun is not much, except for the North County, the population of Zhenjun is the least, the Zhenjun army has been fighting again and again, although it is said that it is a triumphant song on the battlefield, it is unstoppable, but it is also accumulated with the flesh and blood of the soldiers of Zhenjun, the population of Zhenjun is now unbalanced, and there is a serious shortage of young and strong men.

He tilted his head sideways, glancing at Forsythia out of the corner of his eye. The latter was so clever that he immediately realized that His Highness had something to say to himself, so he hurriedly urged him forward, bowed down and said, "Your Highness!"

Shangguan Xiu asked, "What is the current population situation of Zhenjun?"

Forsythia cleared his throat, and Zhengse said, "It's going to increase unabated!"

Shangguan Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is Lord Lian a fool for me?"

The reason why the population of Zhenjun has increased unabated is because of the rise of the steam engine, and the forge has opened a large number of factories in various parts of Zhenjun, and the local people in Zhenjun are really not enough, and the forge has to pay high, resulting in a large influx of foreign population into Zhenjun, and the number of natives in Zhenjun has not increased.

Forsythia shrank his neck in fright, where did he dare to be sloppy in front of Shangguan Xiu, he bowed down and said: "Your Highness, after many outsiders arrive in Zhenjun, they don't want to leave anymore, and the household registration also falls in Zhenjun, as far as the registered population is concerned, Zhenjun is indeed increasing unabated!"

Population is the most important resource at any time, and an increase in population is naturally a great achievement, and it must also be counted on the head of the county warden.

"Relying on the increase in the foreign population to make up for the decline in the local population of Zhen County, even adults think that this is a long-term solution?"

"This ......"

"If one day, the steam engine will not only rise in Zhenjun, but all over the country, and a large number of factories will appear in various places, how many of these naturalized outsiders will stay in Zhenjun, and how many will return to their hometowns, have even adults considered and calculated?" Shangguan Xiu asked with a calm expression.

Forsythia's body has always been bowed, and his neck has always been shrunk, and now he understands that Shangguan Xiu's eyes do not tolerate sand, and it is impossible to get through in front of him with sloppy eyes. He said truthfully: "Weichen has neglected, please forgive your highness!"

"Always let me forgive my sins, when will I stop hearing this sentence? Shangguan Xiu said indifferently.

The cold sweat on Forsythia's face flowed even more, and the body sitting on the horse's back couldn't help but shake several times, and almost fell off the horse. "Your Highness, Your Highness...... Wechen ...... We-Chen......"

Shangguan Xiu casually stretched out his hand, grabbed Forsythia's arm, stabilized his shaking body, and asked, "Does Lord Lian have a good solution to the population problem?"

"This ...... Wechen still needs to ...... I still need to think carefully! Please ...... Your Highness" The word forgiveness behind him, he didn't dare to say it.

Shangguan Xiu glanced at him and said, "I have a suggestion, I don't know if it's feasible." ”

When Forsythia heard this, he almost jumped up on horseback, and said urgently: "Please teach Your Highness, and please teach Your Highness!"

"Encourage childbearing. Shangguan Xiu said: "The people of Zhenjun, those who give birth to one son will be punished, those who give birth to two sons will be rewarded, those who give birth to three sons will be rewarded, and those who give birth to more than four sons will be exempted from taxes in the family." What do you think?"

"Uh......" Those who have more than four children are exempted from taxes, and the implementation of such a policy can indeed greatly encourage the people to have children, but it is also a big blow to the finances of Zhenjun. Forsythia frowned and said, "Such a heavy reward, Zhenjun's finances ......"

Shangguan Xiu Zhengse said: "Zhenjun's finances have never been in the collection of taxes, if even adults have seen the general ledger of Zhenjun, they should know that Zhenjun's taxes only account for a small part of Zhenjun's total revenue, dispensable, in this case, the county government might as well give up this part of the income to benefit the people, but also for the benefit of Zhenjun, killing two birds with one stone." ”

Forsythia grinned secretly, he, the county guard of Zhenjun, was just a superficial appearance, saying that he was the highest-level administrative official in Zhenjun, but in fact, the core things he could access were very few, just take the Zhenjun general ledger that Shangguanxiu said, it was in the hands of Shura Hall, and he didn't even show him, he hadn't seen what it looked like.

"Your Highness, Weichen...... Wechen has not seen the general ledger, and the finances that Wechen can use in Zhenjun are the taxes that are levied every year. ”

The huge profits earned by the forge factory did not go into the pockets of the county government at all, and all of them were in the pockets of Shuratang. If the income from the tax is given away, the Zhenjun County Government will be completely reduced to an ornament, a veritable commander of the light pole.

Shangguan Xiu looked at Forsythia with a smile and said, "Lord Lian's failure to see the general ledger of Zhenjun shows that Lord Lian has not shown enough trustworthy deeds, and many brothers in Zhenjun can't trust Lord Lian, shouldn't Lord Lian reflect on this? Or how can Lord Lian win people's trust?"

Forsythia rolled his eyes, immediately turned over and dismounted, bowed to Shangguan Xiu, bowed his head, and said: "Wechen is willing to follow His Highness to the death and serve His Highness for the sake of His Highness!

Shangguan Xiu looked up and smiled, waved his hand and said, "Even my lord, please get up, Shura Hall is not something that anyone can join if they want to, you have to listen to his words and watch his deeds." With that, he tapped the stirrups with his feet and walked on.

Forsythia sighed, got up from the ground again, got on his horse again, caught up with Shangguanxiu, and explained: "During this time, a large number of nobles, officials, and businessmen poured into Xijing, and many people were greedy for money and sold their houses, resulting in homelessness, so Weichen thought of a way to tear down the city wall and build a house to solve the urgent needs of the displaced people, which is to relieve the tense situation and stabilize the situation in Xijing." ”

"Hmm!" Shangguan Xiu nodded and praised: "In this matter, Lord Lian handled it well. ”

"In addition, Wechen has urgently collected soil and stones from the Shah area, and I think it will be transported to Xijing in the near future......"

The two chatted while walking, and before they knew it, they had arrived in front of Xijing City. Now there is no city wall in Xijing, and as far as the eye can see, it is a large expanse of boundless urban area. Looking closer, the ministers who had escaped from Shangjing were waiting to greet them.

Shangguan Xiu floated off his horse and stepped forward, and the ministers present knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "Weichen greets His Highness!" Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please get up!"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Cai Xiao and Qiu Yi, the three giants of the court have now gone to one of them, and the remaining Cai Xiao and Qiu Yi have lost their former glory, after all, this is Xijing, Zhenjun, Shangguanxiu, Shuratang, and the headquarters of the Zhenjun army. Qiu Yi is relatively better, but for Cai Xiao, every day of living in Xijing is a kind of torment, coupled with the rebellion of the rebels, the Cai family's industry has suffered heavy losses, during this time, Cai Xiao seems to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden, with gray hair, sunken cheeks, and a gray face.

"Lord Cai!"

"General!"

"I think, Lord Cai's face doesn't seem to be very good, Lord Cai has to take care of his body, Xijing is not as good as Shangjing, the climate is dry and hot, Lord Cai is delicate and expensive, and it is inevitable that he will not adapt to the water and soil. Shangguan Xiu said with a smile.

Cai Xiao's face became more and more ugly, and he smiled dryly: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, Weichen's health is fine." ”

"That's good. Shangguan Xiu smiled again and walked past him.

Approaching the city, there were creeps of muskets standing on both sides of the road. Seeing Shangguan Xiu walking over from a distance, the captain of the musket team shouted, raised the order flag, and then, falling downward, the musket team fired their guns into the air.

Bang Bang Bang -

The first platoon finished fighting, and the second platoon continued to shoot.

With the fire of the musket team, the people in the city also knew that Shangguan Xiu had arrived, and the atmosphere of the scene was also pushed to the top, and the cheers were higher than a wolf, and even overshadowed the salvo of muskets.

Shangguan Xiu walked forward, and asked the person next to him, "This is arranged by the two of you?"

"Exactly, Your Highness thinks it's not right?"

"Something is wrong. Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "If I return triumphantly, I can bear it, but unfortunately, I am only the general of the defeated army!"

He and Ziyin glanced at each other, and both said: "At a critical moment, His Royal Highness saved His Majesty from fire and water, this is a great achievement, His Royal Highness should not be arrogant, let alone call himself a general of the defeated army!"

Shangguan Xiu shook his head, and without saying much, surrounded by many ministers, he walked into Xijing City.

This is the place where he arose, he was familiar with every plant and tree in Xijing, but now, he almost didn't know this place, as if he had come to a completely unfamiliar town.

In the past, even three-storey pavilions in Xijing City were very rare, and now, four-storey pavilions can be seen everywhere, shops on both sides of the street, one by one, the people in the city are simply overcrowded.

Shangguan Xiu didn't stay long, and kept going to the palace. Tang Ling didn't go out of the city to greet him because he was ill.

Tang Ling fell ill not long after arriving in Xijing, first, he was not accustomed to the water and soil, and second, he was in a hurry. In order to cover her and the ministers of the court to break through, Shangguan Xiu was surrounded by rebels, and his life and death were uncertain, and Tang Yu proclaimed himself emperor in Shangjing and established a new imperial court.

Shangguan Xiu entered the palace and came to Tang Ling's bedroom, the doors and windows in the hall were closed, and the air was filled with a strong smell of decoction. Shangguan Xiu frowned, and said to the female officials and palace maids standing next to him: "Open the doors and windows, if you hold it like this, good people will also be suffocated." ”

"But Your Majesty ......"

"Open!" The female official and the palace maid didn't dare to say more, and pushed all the doors and windows open according to Shangguan Xiu's request. As the wind outside blew in, the air in the dormitory was finally fresher, but Tang Ling's coughing sound also came from the bed inside.
