It didn't take a while.

Two footsteps rang from far to near from outside the lobby.

Xu Yi, who was leaning on the Taishi chair, slowly straightened his back.

The slightly closed eyes were completely open at some point.

The tiredness in his eyes had long since dissipated.

Instead, it was full of fighting spirit and killing intent.

Xu Yi restrained all his emotions, got up and walked towards the door.

"Mr. Yao." At the door, Xu Yi bowed slightly.

then led Yao Silian to the side of the bookcase that had not yet had time to be removed.

"You may be seated." Xu Yi pulled a stool.

Then the two slowly sat down.

As soon as Fang took his seat, Yao Silian couldn't help but yawn.

Accounting accounts overnight last night, the students of Guozijian and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion did not sleep, and Yao Silian, who was the chief responsible, naturally did not sleep.

looked at Yao Silian's tired face. @·error-free start~~

Xu Yi sighed and said, "It's been hard work for Mr. Yao these days. ”

Yao Silian rubbed his eyes, then waved his hand and said: "For the country, the people and the students, what is the point of working hard, if you really want to say that it is hard, which of you is not harder than me?" ”

Xu Yi smiled noncommittally, as Yao Silian said, who is not working hard in Jingzhao Mansion during this time? Who does not get tired.

"Jing Zhao Yin is looking for the old man, you might as well say it directly, there is no need for those politeness between you and me." Yao Silian looked at Xu Yi and said sincerely.

Xu Yi smiled, and then said, "Since this is the case, that kid will speak directly." ”

After a pause, I saw that Yao Silian had a straight face, and listened to it.

Xu Yi arched his hand and said, "Later, the kid will transfer most of the officials of Jingzhao Mansion away, and the people in front of the door will need Mr. Yao to work a lot." ”

"Take away most of the servants?" Yao Silian looked at Xu Yi in disbelief.

Since the morning when hundreds of officials fought for money, and Xu Yi beheaded the two rats in public, the people in front of Jingzhao Mansion obviously gathered more and more.

Moreover, sixty percent of the people in the dynasty carry rice and other things, and at least eighty percent of the remaining people will eventually donate money.

At this time, instead of striking while the iron is hot and absorbing money, most of the officials will be transferred.

If it is really a transfer of most of the officials, it depends on how busy those students are in front of the Jingzhao Mansion.

Between coming and going, wouldn't it be less than half of the money and food.

Although there was a lot of harvest yesterday, those money and grain were just a drop in the bucket for the entire drought in Guanzhong.

But when I think of what Xu Yi has done in the past few days.

Yao Silian instantly became patient and asked, "Jing Zhaoyin has to make any big moves when he deploys manpower?" ”

Xu Yi nodded, and then replied; "Relying solely on the people's donations cannot completely solve the drought situation in Guanzhong."

"Now, the food absorbed by Jingzhao Mansion and the food donated by the people can only alleviate the surrounding areas of Chang'an City."

"Outside of Chang'an City, countless victims are still dying every day."

Xu Yi paused, and saw Yao Silian thinking about it.

Then he said in a deep voice: "If you want to completely 'alleviate' the disaster in Guanzhong, you should follow yesterday's example." ”

The words fell.

Yao Silian's brows furrowed instantly, and his mind turned rapidly.

As for Xu Yi's words, 'you should follow yesterday's.' "It's not difficult to understand, it's nothing more than a raid.

However, why after the raid, it is only a relief, not a cure.

In fact, it's not that Yao Silian can't think of the roots, but he doesn't dare, he doesn't dare to delve into it, as if he is afraid that if he delves too deep, he will lose his spirit.

And now, Xu Yi's words have forced him to delve into it.

Food is indispensable in this drought, but having food does not mean that the drought has been completely solved.

Food is only a symptom, after all, no amount of food can hold hundreds of thousands of mouths to eat day after day.

And if you want to cure the root cause, you must have water! Water that can be irrigated! The water that can live!

"Whew~!"

Yao Silian exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity and forcibly pulled back the scattered thoughts.

None of them.

。

Think too much.

The treatment of the symptoms has not yet been completed, so how can we talk about curing the root cause?

What's more, the treatment of the symptoms is already so difficult, what will be the root cause?

Unconsciously, Yao Silian's tired face seemed to age by more than ten years in an instant.

See here.

Xu Yi couldn't help but reassure: "Mr. Yao doesn't need to worry, everything is with me." ”

Yao Silian sighed heavily: "It's too difficult. ”

When fear became a reality and was unreservedly exposed to the sun by Xu Yi.

Unconsciously, Yao Silian had lost all faith and spirit.

Xu Yi's face sank and he asked loudly: "Difficult?" Isn't it hard to do it? Is it difficult to make the plains of Shiguanzhong, where the land is full of hunger, the corpses are all over the field, and the people are easy to eat? ”

Yao Silian shook his head and wanted to cry without tears: "I want to do it too, but how to do it!" ”

"How?" Xu Yi laughed and muttered rhetorically.

Yao Silian naturally couldn't give Xu Yi an answer.

And Xu Yi didn't need Yao Silian to give him an answer.

The answer has long been in his mind.

Xu Yi's face was straight, and he said in a deep voice: "This official already has the answer in his heart, but it is not time to do so." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yao Silian instantly raised his head and opened his eyes wide, looking at Xu Yi intently.

Xu Yi asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Yao is trustworthy to this official?" ”

Yao Silian looked at Xu Yi intently, and couldn't help but think of all the things Xu Yi had done during this period of time.

Then he nodded heavily and affirmed, "Faith!" ”

Xu Yi said in a deep voice: "This official knows that Mr. Yao is also dedicated to the country and the people, since Mr. Yao trusts this official, then I will help this official solve some worries!" ”

"It won't be long before the official will return Mr. Yao a sunny day!"

Yao Silian looked at Xu Yi's resolute face, and couldn't help but rekindle some confidence in his heart.

nodded heavily, and then said in a deep voice: "How do you need the old man to do it?" ”

Xu Yi said with a serious face: "As the son of the country, I call on aspiring scholars in Beijing to make every effort to receive donations from the people!" ”

Raiding the house, the people's donations, Xu Yigu wants, and! The more the merrier!

"Good! No problem! The old man is going to write a notice! Yao Silian nodded heavily and agreed.

Xu Yi nodded and said, "This matter is not busy. ”

Yao Silian looked at Xu Yi suspiciously, slightly puzzled.

Xu Yi explained: "The background of scholars in Beijing is inevitably complicated, and when there are many people, it is easy to have chaotic accounts. ”

"When the accounts are chaotic, it is easy for people with unscrupulous intentions to fish in troubled waters."

"Presumably, Mr. Yao doesn't want to see rats appear inside the disaster relief."

Yao Silian nodded heavily, and then said: "It is inevitable that there will be many people with unscrupulous intentions to fish in troubled waters, but you and I can establish a monitoring mechanism. ”

"In this way, one of them can deter small and prevent problems before they happen."

"Second, if there is really a small hand, you can also make a response as soon as possible and make an example of you."

Xu Yi smiled, I have to say that in some ways, Yao Silian's thoughts coincide with Xu Yi.

Xu Yi's face was straight, and he nodded: "It is imperative to establish a supervision mechanism, can Mr. Yao be recommended by anyone?" ”

Yao Silian instantly fell into deep thought when he heard this.

Recommending a candidate may seem simple, but it's not.

First, this candidate must be highly respected, otherwise he will definitely not be able to convince the public.

Second, this candidate must behave correctly and sit upright, so as to fundamentally eliminate the possibility of self-theft by the guards.

Third, this person's identity and background must be extremely clean, and he must not have an affair with the family, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of being embarrassed by the family.

Satisfying one or two is common, and those who are satisfied with all three are really rare.

Suddenly.

Yao Silian couldn't help but think of a figure.

The man grew up in a poor family, but he studied diligently. Error-free updates @

Sanyuan and the first, but he did not want to enter the court as an official.

He traveled for ten years with a sword, measuring the mountains and rivers with his footsteps, and the farthest had reached the Western Regions.

Wandering back into the Qinling Mountains Taibai, set.

The altar is spread in the Taibai Mountains and transformed into the world.

In front of its altar, there are high-ranking officials and nobles, three religions and nine streams, and peddlers and pawns.

There is no class at the end!

Now, he is more than half a hundred years old and full of gray hair, and he is still not bent over his waist.

The imperial court summoned him six times, but he was all rejected!

It's the people who are just like them!

Yao Silian suddenly looked up at Xu Yi, and said in a deep voice, word by word: "Mangosteen Layman--Lu Zaizhong!" ”

"Mangosteen Jushi Lu is in the middle?" Xu Yi muttered in a low voice.

Immediately, the miscellaneous articles I had read before came to my mind, and I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart: "It's really a strange person." ”

Xu Yi settled down and asked in a deep voice, "Can Mr. Yao invite Mr. Lu out?" ”

Yao Silian couldn't help but straighten his back, raised his hand to caress his beard, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Then he smiled and said, "Others may not be able to, but I can." ”

The words fell.

Yao Silian stroked his beard again, and looked at Xu Yi with a smile on his face, as if he was waiting to be asked.

Merely.

It's a pity.

Xu Yi did not ask, but solemnly said without any psychological burden: "In this way, Mr. Lao Yao will personally run tomorrow, and then the official will negotiate with the city defense army and send two hundred soldiers to protect Mr. Yao's safety." ”

"Stunned." As soon as these words came out, the smile on Yao Silian's face instantly froze. @

opened his mouth, and he wanted to blurt out the words in his stomach.

Pity.

In the end, thousands of words turned into an incomparably simple word: "Good." ”

"Then there's Mr. Lao Yao." Xu Yi got up and returned the sacrificial seal on his waist to the original owner, and then bowed solemnly.

Yao Silian looked at the sacrificial sprinkler seal in his hand and was stunned, compared to continuing to stay in Xu Yi's hands, he seemed to need this sacrificial sprinkler seal more in the future.

Yao Silian, who came back to his senses, also saluted and said again and again: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Xu Yi sent Yao Silian out of the lobby.

When he turned around, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a look of joy.

If Yao Silian can really invite Lu Zaizhong out of the mountain, this is tantamount to a big surprise for Xu Yi.

After all, in Xu Yi's original plan, if Yao Silian did not have a suitable candidate, he could only be cheeky to invite the thirteen princes out of the mountain.

As the only few old princes in the world today, and the thirteen princes who have always been indisputable.

Both seniority and prestige are sufficient.

It's just that in this way, Xu Yi is bound to owe favors.

And the most difficult thing in the world to repay is human favors, unless it is absolutely necessary, Xu Yi naturally does not owe it.

As for Xu Zhen, he has qualifications, but his reputation in Beijing is far from enough.

After all, he has been away from Beijing for more than 20 years, and he only returned to Beijing last year, and he is still in charge of Zongzheng Temple.

Because of the lessons of the previous dynasties, plus factors such as the Huns knocking on the customs from time to time.

After Emperor Taizu founded the country, he redefined a series of titles such as Wang Jue.

With different surnames, by virtue of their military exploits, they can be awarded the title of county prince at most, with 3,000 households and one household.

The former general Zhao Qing was awarded the title of King of Xihe County by virtue of his military exploits, and he ate 3,000 households.

The current general, Li Guangli, was only sealed as the Marquis of Haixi because of his mediocre military record, with 1,000 households and 300 households.

After the children of the clan and the crown, they will face two choices.

First, the prince is crowned, and he will be in one place, ten thousand households in the food town, and ten thousand households in fact.

Second, the prince of the county, the food household, the actual seal of 3,000 households, and no jurisdiction, the right to lead the army, can be a vassal or choose to stay in Beijing to serve as an idle post.

It seems like a good choice, but it's not.

At least in the last hundred years, those who have taken the initiative to ask for the title of prince are only double tens.

And when it comes to Xu Yi's generation, it is even more unbearable, among the nineteen princes, except for Xu Yi, none of them and the crown have asked for the title of prince!

As for the reason, it's simple.

The prince seems to be in a high position and can eat real seals.

However, due to the national conditions, the fiefdoms are all border places.

。

In terms of food alone, it seems that there are 7,000 more households than the county king, but in fact, because its fief is located in the border counties, the tax actually needs to be discounted.

In the event of a war, according to the law of the clan, the prince must cooperate with the county guard to deal with the enemy.

If they retreat without a fight, and cause those who lose their cities and lands, they will be deprived of their kings and reduced to concubines.

Those who surrender without a fight will be deprived of the king's title and shown to the public.

The dead who do not retreat from the fight to the death, coexist with the city, and after the horse leather shrouds, the heirs inherit the prince's title.

In order to prevent the prince from supporting the army and respecting himself, Emperor Taizu made mandatory requirements for the number of troops supported by the prince since the beginning of the founding of the country.

Namely, up to three escort battalions.

Due to the different situations in different places, the strength of the first battalion ranged from 3,000 to 7,000.

This also means that once the prince is chosen, the number of troops under his command is at least 3,000, and at most 20,000.

It seems to be a lot, but it can only fight small battles, and once it encounters a large knock by the Huns and other foreign tribes, this little force will seem a little thin.

After all, once the Xiongnu and other foreigners knock on the pass, the number of troops will be at least more than 200,000.

It is precisely because of this that since the founding of Emperor Taizu, there have been more than two hundred years of double ten princes who have died in various wars.

Even Xu Zhen, the king of Jin, almost died in the rebellion of the Western Regions.

It can be seen from this that the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty is such a high-risk profession.

Fortunately, big battles don't happen all the time.

If he is safe and sound during his tenure, his heirs can be demoted to the rank of prince after his death.

After the demotion, if you choose to return to Beijing, you can eat households, and 3,000 households will be sealed.

If you choose to continue to stay at the border pass, you can eat households, real households, and lead a battalion of troops.

If you make great contributions during this period, you can restore the prince!

As the saying goes, the greater the risk, the higher the return.

This is not the case with the prince of the county, although he has no real power, he is not dangerous.

Food, 3,000 households, the annual tax alone is enough for the whole family to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

If you can't be idle, you can also go to Beijing to get a spare job, buy some houses, and then have more money and less things to get closer to home, why not do it?

Even after death, there will be no more kings for future generations, and the number of food estates will be halved from generation to generation.

However, as long as you are chic and romantic in life, chant poetry, and enjoy life, as for the flood after death, what does it have to do with me?

It is precisely because of this that the clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not bloated compared to the previous dynasty.

"Whew~!"

Xu Yi exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, whether he was bloated or not had nothing to do with him now, this was not something he needed to worry about.

After settling down, Xu Yi stepped towards the chair of the first master.

After taking his seat, he did not continue to close his eyes and recuperate.

Instead, he was straightening his body to study the ink and pick up the pen, slowly writing something.

With Yao Silian and the upcoming Lu Zaizhong sitting in the rear, Xu Yi has already solved most of his worries.

Next, the show can slowly begin!

A moment later.

Xu Yi slowly put down the wolf pen in his hand.

And the table was already covered with several layers of documents and seals.

Xu Yi took off the Jingzhao Yin seal from his waist, and then stamped them one by one.

With the use of seals, these documents and seals have symbolized the Jingzhao Mansion and the imperial court to a certain extent!

Xu Yi looked at a table full of documents and seals stamped with bright red seals.

A smile slowly appeared on his face, but that smile was full of coldness and murderous intent.

After the imprint was completely dry, Xu Yi slowly sorted it out.

Then he said loudly outside the lobby: "Zhao Shou." ”

"Sixth master, Zhao Shou is here!" Before the words completely dispersed, Zhao Shou had already walked into the lobby.

Xu Yi slowly got up and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately order Huo Chenghu, a member of the Criminal Department, to ask for a hundred people from the Criminal Department, and come here to find me in a quarter of an hour!" ”

"I ordered Qu Jingyi, the head of the fast class, Tian Shuliang, the head of the strong class, and Wen Boxing, the head of the soap class, to each transfer eighty percent of their subordinate officials to come here to look for me in a quarter of an hour!"

"I ordered the lieutenant Zhang Kaiyuan and the warden, Xiang Zhong, to come here to look for me in a quarter of an hour! No.

Something got to be wrong! ”

Zhao Shou's whole body trembled with excitement when he heard this.

Before he had time to delve into it, Zhao Shou responded loudly with a trembling voice: "Obey!" ”

The words fell.

Zhao Shou turned around and ran towards the outside of the lobby.

Looking at Zhao Shou's running back, Xu Yi couldn't help but chuckle. @·error-free start~~

Zhao Shou has been waiting for this day for a long time, why shouldn't he? .
