Li Huai left the three hundred righteous cavalry retinue outside the city, and only took Yang Dong and Li Xin into the city.

Yang Dong heard from Li Xin that the prince had been assassinated in the ancient city, and the assassin was most likely Huang Minghui's butler.

He immediately tensed his nerves, looking like assassins.

Li Huai came to the front of the Taishou Mansion in the clouds.

Finally!

There is a little bit of Taishou Mansion, although it doesn't seem very atmospheric, at least the gate, the doorpost, and the plaque are all intact.

"Meet the prince!"

The people of the Taishou Mansion came out to greet him, the housekeeper Ah Fu knelt at the front, and Li Huai glanced at him, and he coughed a few times.

He looks sick, and he has the kind of timidity and caution of an honest person, and he is even more conscious of ordinary people when they see the prince and bow their heads to obey orders.

It is impossible to see the inside from the outside of a person.

"Get up."

Li Huai waved his hand and said, he didn't attack the housekeeper at the first time, he wanted to find out whether what Huang Erlang said was true, and whether this Ah Fu was the mastermind.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Everyone got up and stood respectfully on either side.

Li Huai entered from the middle, and Huang Minghui followed by his side, waiting for orders.

"When this king came from the ancient city, there were countless refugees, and the corpses in the wilderness were not taken care of, but there were few refugees in Yunzhong City, and there were not even any beggars.

Huang Minghui heard the irony in these words, Yunzhong County has become a hell on earth, and the people are not living, and he, as a taishou, naturally bears the first blame.

"Returning to the prince, it's not that there are no refugees in Cloudsdale, and the minister has issued a decree prohibiting refugees from entering Cloudsdale." He replied sincerely.

"So you're going to let them dump their bodies in the wilderness?" Li Huai asked playfully, to see how round he still was.

"The minister is guilty!"

Huang Minghui didn't quibble, first saying that he was guilty, and then explained: "If refugees are allowed to pour into Cloud City, then the last piece of pure land in the clouds will be gone." ”

Refugees are like locusts, they eat wherever they go, and wherever they pass, the ground is turned over.

Li Huai saw the geographical and climatic description of Liangzhou in the geographical chronicles of Liangzhou.

Liangzhou is not like the Northwest Wasteland in the previous life, there is no vegetation, only endless loess, this is a real wasteland.

In the spring, the grass grows all over the mountains, and the soil is very fertile, and the grass grows very quickly.

In the summer, the grass grows to half a man's height in the untended wasteland, withers and yellows in the fall, is buried in the snow in the winter, and regenerates the following year.

Now, as soon as the spring grass sprouts, it has been uprooted, and when it stands at the head of the city and looks out, there is no green in sight.

If refugees are allowed to enter Cloudsdale, Cloudsdale will soon become a second ancient city, and ordinary people will have no way to live, waiting to starve to death.

Rationally, Huang Minghui is not unreasonable to do this, that is, ...... For those refugees, it's so cruel!

"Who let the refugees into Liangzhou in the first place?" Li Huai asked with a little resentment, Liangzhou is already poor, and as soon as the refugees poured in like this, they were directly dragged down.

Shouldn't these fleeing refugees go to the Central Plains?

The Central Plains is rich in resources, and with a little charity, and the imperial court will dispatch it, these refugees can live in peace and live a relatively stable life.

This is to see that these refugees are all ordinary people of Yuguo, if they are from outside the Guan, according to his temper, he will directly open the gate of the Great Wall and blast them all out, and he will die outside!

"Back to the prince, no one let them in, they broke in by themselves." Huang Minghui replied.

Li Huai sighed, in fact, he knew without asking, it must have been the imperial court that forced them to Liangzhou.

It was impossible for the imperial court to allow the economy of the Central Plains to be shaken in any way.

The Central Plains is the foundation of the country!

Then my Liangzhou will become a garbage factory?

Li Huai became the most bitter unlucky egg, and was named the prince, and outsiders seemed to be more beautiful and comfortable.

Who understands his suffering.

Liangzhou is a mess, and he doesn't know where to start.

If the imperial grandfather regrets it now.

He immediately packed up his things and rolled back to Luoyang non-stop, even if he was the grandson of the emperor who had been doing nothing all his life, it was better than this.

"King Liang, the minister has a word, I don't know if I should say it?" Huang Minghui asked for instructions at this time.

"Say."

"In fact, there are not too many refugees, and there are large areas of wilderness in Liangzhou, if refugees can be used to open up the wasteland, it may become a good thing." Huang Minghui said.

Li Huai glanced at him, "Should you say below, everything is ready, you only owe Dongfeng, let me give you a little money and food?" ”

Huang Minghui nodded and said hopefully: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, if refugees are hungry every day and can't see hope, they can't open up the wasteland." ”

He had a point.

Merely......

"Don't look at me, I don't have a penny, and I don't have a grain of surplus food." Li Huai spread his hands and directly put them away.

"But the minister heard that the prince raised donations in the ancient city, and it is expected to get ten million taels of silver." Huang Minghui is really not giving up.

"Can a million taels fill this hole?" Li Huai asked.

Huang Minghui shook his head, "I'm afraid not." ”

Li Huai shrugged, what else did it mean.

"King Liang, aren't there still Jade City and Cloud City?" Huang Minghui lowered his voice and said pointedly.

Li Huai was stunned and tilted his head to look at him, "You want me to loot Jade City and Cloud City like an ancient city." ”

Huang Minghui looked at him silently, and his expression seemed to say: This is the only way, and it must be done by King Liang himself.

Li Huai also looked at him, thinking in his heart, could it be that Huang Minghui was not a faint official, and he misunderstood him?

"Where did the food come from?" Li Huai asked again.

It's not okay to have money.

You have to have food.

Huang Minghui looked left and right, made sure that there were no outsiders, and whispered beside Li Huai: "Isn't the Great Wall grain road in the clouds!" ”

Yang Dong: Are you embarrassed to say this in front of me?

"You want this king to rob the Great Wall Army's military rations!" Li Huai was also frightened by his audacity.

Huang Minghui hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no! ”

"What the minister means is that if we raise the price of grain a little, will the military department quietly send more over?"

Li Huai was silent instantly, Huang Minghui wanted to take advantage of the corruption of the imperial court and secretly do shady things.

However, this is for the people of Liangzhou, especially for the tens of thousands of refugees.

There is no harm in all the benefits!

Yang Dong breathed a sigh of relief, it was not good to grab the military rations of the Great Wall Army.

Li Huai didn't nod or veto, and talked about some relatively easy questions with a smile, "Huang Taishou, your idea shouldn't have just come to you." ”

黄明辉也是笑了笑，随口说道：“臣就是瞎琢磨，王爷权当笑话罢。 ”

They did not talk about it again.

Li Huai came to the courtyard arranged by Huang Minghui for him, and specially prepared a separate study room for him.

There is everything in the study, including the tax table in the cloud, the civil book, the account book, the geography in the cloud, and some government affairs related files.

Neatly arranged.

Huang Minghui's first impression of him was that he was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and he had been looking forward to him for a long time.

"Am I too sensitive?" Li Huaizi asked, Huang Minghui may really be a good person, so why didn't he go to Jiuyuan to see him?

There must be something hidden here.

Li Huai didn't think about anything else, just like when he first arrived in Jiuyuan, he closed the door and read a book.

He had to understand the deployment in the cloud first.

On the surface, the situation in the clouds can only be described in one word.

Simple!

It couldn't be simpler.

There is only one Taishou Huang Minghui, and everything in the cloud is handled by him alone, and he should bear all the responsibilities.

However, the simpler it seems on the surface, the more complex it may be on the inside.

This is different from Kuhara-gun.

At that time, Tian Qing always wanted to distract him and confuse the water.

However, as long as you stare at a thread and follow the clues, you will dig out Tian Qing and other chaotic parties.

There is only one line of Huang Minghui in the clouds, and obviously he can't dig out anything, so he has to start with clues.

If you want to say that the strangest thing about this is this tax book, the strange thing is that there is no loophole, and the cloud sergeant clan is full of taxes, not a penny less.

Li Huai still has no way to check, because this is last year's tax, and before he became king, Liangzhou was still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

Most of these taxes were collected by the imperial court.

Then he was crowned King of Liang.

Li Huai didn't believe it even if he was killed, these guys who regard money as their life would be so honest, there must be a problem.

The ledger is also correct, and every expenditure and income is recorded in detail.

But this is only a ledger within the government.

Transactions in the dark will not leave any traces.

That doesn't prove anything.

Li Huai finally picked up the people's book and flipped through it casually, which recorded the registered population in the clouds.

The last correction was in the fifteenth year of Shenwu, that is, three years ago, but later because the refugees were out of control, there was no way to collect accurate household registration information, so there was no amendment.

The reference is of little significance.

Wait a minute!

"Huang Minghui has a wife?"

Why didn't the king see it?

It stands to reason that Mrs. Taishou should be with Taishou to welcome the prince's arrival, unless she can't come.

I don't think history will repeat itself.

Li Huai looked at the official record again, and compared with Minbo, Huang Minghui and his wife registered their marriage in the eighth year of Shenwu, and at that time, Huang Minghui was still a county order.

In the second year of their marriage, that is, in the ninth year of Shenwu, Huang Minghui became the Taishou of Yunzhong.

This promotion speed is simply a leap!
