The first thing Xiao Junzhe did when he entered Youzhou was to open up a piece of his own office space in the yamen, and then check the expenditure income bill of Youzhou for a year.

Finance is the most prone to problems, and you can pick out bones without bones, and Xiao Junzhe is fighting this idea.

But after Xiao Junzhe flipped through Youzhou's financial reports, the whole person was a little confused, why is there so much tax revenue in Youzhou? It's almost catching up with some of the southern states.

Xie Zhixin, who accompanied Xiao Junzhe, drank tea on the side and dealt with Xiao Junzhe's difficulties at any time.

Sure enough, Xiao Junzhe took the financial report and asked, "Thank you farewell, what's going on with Youzhou's financial report?" ”

"Doesn't Lord Xiao understand?"

Xiao Junzhe said with a cold face: "Youzhou has barren land and a sparse population, how can there be so many taxes? ”

Xie Zhixin asked rhetorically: "Isn't it bad to have too much tax?" The Emperor's Holy Decree, all government affairs in Youzhou are decided by King You, His Royal Highness King Youwang has done it so well, what is Lord Xiao's dissatisfaction? ”

"Messing around, increasing taxes, and forcing the people to make a living, is this Youzhou under the rule of King You?"

"Lord Xiao sees that the people of Youzhou are not living?"

Xiao Junzhe was stunned, he didn't notice this when he came, but in retrospect, the people of Youzhou were indeed normal, and they didn't stop the sedan chair and other things.

It's not an increase in taxes, where does Youzhou get such a high tax?

Xie Zhixin said: "Lord Xiao might as well go out for a walk, and the situation in Youzhou will be clear." ”

Xiao Junzhe snorted, called his entourage, and walked around Youzhou City with Xie Zhixin.

Not long after leaving the yamen, Xiao Junzhe saw a very strange phenomenon, some people were carrying baskets of clothes in their hands, talking and laughing and walking forward.

Xiao Junzhe didn't understand very much, what is the custom of walking on the street with clothes?

Xie Zhixin explained: "They went to the bathhouse to take a bath. ”

Xiao Junzhe knew about bathing, but he didn't know about the bathhouse, Xie Zhixin took him directly to the outside of the bathhouse opened by Li Feng.

After entering, Xiao Junzhe was immediately shocked by the scene inside, a huge pool, steaming, and many naked people sitting in it, with happy and comfortable expressions.

Xiao Junzhe also did it below, and he knew that taking a hot bath was not an uncommon thing for dignitaries, but it was extremely difficult for ordinary people, especially in the more remote areas of the north.

Li Feng actually built a place for the people to take a hot bath, this kind of love for the people was not disguised in a short time, but was built early.

"This was founded by the Ghost King?"

"Twenty copper plates come in and wash them once, and add five copper plates to make people rub their backs."

This price is not expensive, or even very cheap, after all, the coal and firewood used to boil water are not cheap, and twenty copper plates are just enough.

In the face of such a project for the benefit of the people, Xiao Junzhe had nothing to say and left the bathhouse with a cold face.

After walking for a short time, Xiao Junzhe saw something that surprised him again, the school.

The opening of schools is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the imperial court also attaches great importance to this, and has also spent a lot of money and grain to open in various places, but in the end it all ended in nothing, the reason is very simple, the supply of money and food is not enough.

In the end, most of them had to rely on the joint ventures of the local wealthy gentry, and the result was that the students who had learned became part of the local gentry interest groups.

Although Li Feng opened a school, although he also had this meaning, he represented the official, not the local gentry.

A prince with an extremely bad reputation was willing to spend money to open a school in Youzhou, which made Xiao Junzhe extremely surprised.

What surprised Xiao Junzhe even more was that these students could still eat for free in the school.

Looking at Xiao Junzhe's surprised expression, Xie Zhixin said: "Most of these students are from poor families, and if they eat here, they will have less burden on their families. ”

Xiao Junzhe was speechless and walked forward again, but the more he walked, the more uncomfortable it became, because the prosperity of Youzhou was far beyond his imagination, the trading between merchants, and the pedestrians coming and going, the traffic was busy, no less than the rich cities in the south.

Suddenly, there was a noise in front of him, Xiao Junzhe's eyes lit up, thinking that he had found Li Feng's loophole, and hurriedly ran over to check, but when he arrived, the dispute had already been dealt with.

Both sides of the disturbance were people from the rivers and lakes, and these people came to participate in Li Feng's ring competition.

People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed, these people in the rivers and lakes with holes in their brains can more or less find a little enmity with each other, even if they have no enmity, they may also have a grudge when they meet and take a look.

Therefore, during this period of time, it was not uncommon for people in the rivers and lakes to fight, and the angry Li Feng sent a thousand defenders to the street, regardless of the reason, who fought and detained whom.

Xiao Junzhe didn't find Li Feng's fault, he was very unwilling, and when he saw that there were many people in the rivers and lakes, he asked, "Why are there so many people in the rivers and lakes in Youzhou?" ”

"Our prince accepted Wen Xue as a concubine, and these people in the rivers and lakes were extremely angry and came to challenge them."

Xiao Junzhe, who has been on the temple for a long time, doesn't know who Wen Xue is at all, he is probably also a person from the rivers and lakes, for him, the people in the rivers and lakes are not in the stream, a dignified prince actually accepted a child of the rivers and lakes as a concubine.

This made Xiao Junzhe extremely disdainful, a womanizer.

"Even if the prince is a concubine, he should pay attention to his identity, the royal family is not a messy person who can come in."

Xie Zhixin glanced at Xiao Junzhe: "The prince has a concubine, when is it your turn to interject?" ”

Xiao Junzhe was furious: "Are all of Youwang's subordinates like you?" ”

Xie Zhixin said with a smile: "The prince is a super prince, how many products is Lord Xiao?" Your Majesty didn't say anything, why are you in a hurry? ”

Xiao Junzhe sneered: "Can I take care of it, let's see!" ”

Xie Zhixin pursed his lips disdainfully, he could understand that Li Yuan sent Xiao Junzhe to find fault and stabilize his position, but he couldn't find anything wrong with government affairs, and he couldn't find anything wrong with his personal life, and the means were too unpopular.

The dignified prince, who to take as a concubine and notify the officials below? Isn't that a joke?

Xiao Junzhe moved from the east city to the south city, and then to the north city, and finally he saw what he wanted to see, the Youwang Palace that Zhao Kang had instructed him before he came, and was being built.

Seeing the palace that had begun to take shape, Xiao Junzhe was overjoyed: "Thank you farewell, please explain what is going on?" ”

"This is the Hidden Palace."

Xie Zhixin's calmness made Xiao Junzhe doubt life, didn't he know that this was trespassing? Why can you still be so calm?

"Nonsense, according to the ...... of the Great Cadres"

Xie Zhixin interrupted the excited Xiao Junzhe: "The emperor agreed, King You is the emperor's favorite eldest son, I don't think Lord Xiao will not know this." ”

Xiao Junzhe was almost choked by his own saliva, and he was powerless to refute, because what Xie Zhixin said was right, everyone knew that the emperor liked King Youwang the most.

If it weren't for the fact that Youwang really went too far, and provoked the ministers to play together, Li Feng would not have been demoted to Youwang.

But Rao is like this, the first emperor still gave Li Feng the will to take care of himself, and it was this will that made it difficult for Xiao Junzhe to find fault, because Li Feng could use the will of the first emperor to prevaricate everything that was encroached.

Xiao Junzhe really wants to stop doing it, how the hell is this still playing?
