Zhang Chengshou had heard of Fusu's reputation a few months ago.

First, it can rely on business to gather wealth for the use of the country.

Second, it can punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials with great righteousness.

The three capable soldiers used strange tricks to eliminate old thieves.

In his mind, this Fusu prince is no longer the first emperor's eldest son.

It is a son of Fusu who is unparalleled in wisdom and scheming, benevolence, righteousness and virtue.

Zhang Chengshou was led into the door by Gan Jin.

When I entered the hall, I saw a clear figure leaning on the edge of the window lattice, flipping through a roll of bamboo slips.

The posture is like a pine and cypress, the heroic is like a haze and snow, and the temperament is like a bamboo.

Childe Fusu really deserves his reputation.

Zhang Chengshou stepped forward to salute, and Fu Su raised his hand slightly.

"Lord Zhang is exempt."

The voice was light but gentle, without the glitz and arrogance of the prince's nobles.

Zhang Chengshou is only a county magistrate, although he has quite a political achievement.

But because he has no way out, and no one recommends him, he is not allowed to be promoted.

Therefore, he only saw His Majesty the First Emperor from afar during a hundred official pilgrimages.

If His Majesty the First Emperor is the scorching sun, Fusu Gongzi is the moon of Qinghui.

Fusu put down the bamboo slip, raised his head and looked at him with a smile.

"My lord has come from afar, it must be hard, so it's better to eat with me."

"How dare the lower officials."

"You and I both work for Your Majesty, and your lord is still a local parent official, so you don't have to be polite here in Fusu."

The table is very simple, but it is just some elegant side dishes, and a little drink.

Fusu is at the top, and Zhang Chengshou is sitting on the right.

Fusu knew it, but he didn't have to mention it.

only said: "My lord is from Yongxian, what is the matter?" ”

"I have long heard of the son's good name, and it happened that the son was raising grain in Chencang, and the lower officials came to visit."

Fusu raised the bottle and respected each other from afar, and said with a smile:

"It was said that Chen Cang was supposed to go to Yongxian County after coming to Chencang, but unfortunately he was tripped by mountain thieves."

"I can't go here, but now that the adults are here, I have saved Fusu from regret."

Zhang Chengshou saw that he spoke modestly and was free and easy.

There is also a lot less restraint.

He also raised a wine bottle and drank it all to show respect.

sighed: "The theft of Chen Cang has been entrenched for several years, and the government and the people are unbearable. ”

"Many encirclements and suppressions have been unsuccessful."

"As soon as Childe came, he solved such a big problem."

"Not only did it help Chencang, but Yongxian County also benefited from it."

"Childe's actions, the officials admire it very much."

"Where did Lord Zhang say, Fusu is in the government and the opposition."

"I should worry about the livelihood of the people, and I will worry about the people of Daqin."

"It's a matter of responsibility, not worth mentioning."

When Fusu heard that Zhang Chengshou was coming, he had the idea of raising food from Yongxian under pressure.

Although Chen Cang has moved back from Gongqi Fengling in many ways, it is still incomparable with the number of Fu counties.

What's more, half of it has to be set aside for the grain depot in case of emergency.

Half of Fusu's income is only 30,000 stone of grain.

That's a drop in the bucket in terms of the amount he has to raise.

Now I see Zhang Chengshou boasting for a long time, but he doesn't mention the matter of raising food.

Fusu's mind turned, and it was good to mention it on his own.

"It's just pitiful, the people have suffered for years."

"The ration has decreased, and the soldiers of our border counties have also suffered."

"Fusu only hates not to have three heads and six arms, relieves worries for the people, and solves problems for the soldiers."

Fusu sighed softly after speaking, as if he was in distress.

Zhang Chengshou saw that he was embarrassed, and also heard that all his money was paid for soldiers.

I also saw that he was dedicated to the people and cared for Daqin.

The admiration in his chest was even more overflowing.

Immediately got up and bowed his head and said: "The lower officials are incompetent, and they can't share their worries for the son." ”

"Although the lower officials are not talented, they also know that the situation in the border counties is related to the safety of Daqin."

"If the army wants to guard the border, food must be indispensable."

"Although Yongxian County is not a rich land, the land is vast and fertile, and there is plenty of food."

"The lower official is ready to hand over seventy percent of the treasury to the prince as military rations."

Seeing that he was so upright, Fusu was easy to talk to a smart person.

Although this Chengcheng has no great talent, he has great virtue and is a person who can be reused.

He laughed loudly, in a very good mood, and praised:

"Okay, with Lord Zhang's words, I'm relieved!"

"In this way, Fusu will first thank Lord Zhang for the border county soldiers."

After the meal, Fusu happened to go to the outskirts of the city to inspect the people's situation.

Zhang Chengshou took the initiative to ask to go.

Walking along the road, the people in Chencang Township are in a similar situation.

The taxes were heavy, and the surplus food was only enough to feed the stomach, and nothing else.

If there are more people in the family, they will have to save money from the lack of food.

So the people will be half full,

Such a scene, Fusu had guessed as early as Xianyang.

But when I really saw the real scene, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Under the seemingly majestic surface of Daqin, there are countless low-level people struggling on the verge of survival.

Ying Zheng repaired the Great Wall, repaired the mausoleum, and built the palace.

The taxes that fall on the heads of the people are fifty or sixty percent out of ten, which is really too heavy.

The Great Wall can be said to be for military reasons, defending against the Hu people in the north.

The mausoleum and the palace are just for their own selfish desires.

Fusu didn't dare to mention this, which didn't mean that he agreed.

It's just that now his foundation is not stable, and he is very helpless.

Xu is face was pale, and Zhang Chengshou asked with concern:

"Childe is worried?"

Fusu worked in the fields and did not say it directly.

only sighed: "From the period of the Seven Kingdoms of the Ancient Qin to the present Great Qin." ”

"The territory is vast, the national strength is strong, and Qin Wei is also in the heavens and the earth."

"But why, the people are still suffering, and the officials are still greedy, corroding the foundation of our Great Qin."

Zhang Chengshou's eyes lit up and looked left and right.

There were only Han Min and Gan Ji beside Fusu in the rear, and they asked tentatively:

"The lower official said that he was arrogant, but the son thinks it."

"Qin, the taxes are too heavy, and the pressure on the people is heavy."

If these words fall on Ying Zheng's ears, he will either kill his head or be blamed with a rod.

It can be seen that Zhang Chengshou already has great trust in Fusu.

Fusu really didn't make a fuss, but said solemnly:

"No matter how strong the country is and how wide the territory is, the people are the foundation of a country."

"If even ordinary people can't eat or wear clothes."

"It's like a branch that has been hollowed out by ants and insects, and when it encounters a little wind and rain, it will break."

As soon as Fusu said this, Zhang Chengshou knelt on the ground with his hands folded, and his face was full of surprise.

It seems that he has encountered a soulmate who is hard to find.

"What the son said is exactly what the lower officials think."

"Xia Guan has served as the county magistrate of Yongxian County for many years, and he has also tried his best to help the poor people."

"But sixty percent of the taxes still make them miserable."

"The lower officials see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts."

"It's a pity that people are soft-spoken, and they can't turn around, so they have to follow the laws of the field."

He looked up, his eyes glinting with hope.

"The prince is a nobleman in the sky, and he is in the court of the capital."

"If the son has this ambition, the lower official is willing to smear the child's liver and brain."

After speaking, he kowtowed heavily, and he didn't get up for a long time.

Fusu's face was calm and he stood in the wind.

Seedlings that were planted in the spring are then sown, and the tender green leaves sway beautifully.

The hard-working people toiled in the fields.

But after a year of hard work, half of the grain they had received was collected.
