It wasn't until the afternoon that Su Xuan felt much better, and his strength was almost fully recovered.

So, Su Xuan went to the governor's yamen.

"Su-sama!" Gu Tiannan hurriedly came out to greet him.

With the countermeasures proposed by Tao Yan before, Gu Tiannan is not afraid of Su Xuan coming over at all now.

"How's it going to get you to conscript?" Su Xuan asked.

"My lord, why don't you go out with your subordinates to make a round?" Gu Tiannan proposed.

"Okay."

So, Gu Tiannan took Su Xuan and left the governor's yamen.

When I came to the most lively place in Baizhou City, I saw a stall over there.

There were a few people in the stall, and Tao Yan was sitting in the middle.

Behind them, hang two vertical panels.

One writes "for the heavens", and the other writes "conscription and thieves".

However, it was deserted in front of the stall.

Three or two people came up to ask.

"My lord, conscription?"

"yes, are you interested? Serve the imperial court, exterminate the bandits in the southwest, walk for the heavens, and defend the country!" Tao Yan immediately looked excited.

"How much silver?" The man asked.

"This...... Serving the court, you can glorify your ancestors, and if you don't do it, you can be crowned an official! This is for the sake of the world, and it is too vulgar for you to talk about silver!" Tao Yan said.

The man frowned.

"Didn't you say that the imperial court had already abolished the conscription?" The man whispered.

"This is not conscription! This is a great thing to honor the ancestors!" Tao Yan said.

"Anyway, it's no different from a slave, who wants to fight a thief without money? No, no, no!"

"Hey, it's boring, let's go!"

A few people turned away in a huff.

Tao Yan was not annoyed, and after sitting down, he yawned.

Then

Waiting, Su Xuan walked over.

"Master Tao, do it yourself?" Su Xuan said with a smile.

"Hey, the governor's yamen is sparsely populated, so I can only ask the lower officials to help. This is according to the inspection of the yamen, and the people are also thin, and the official can only come by himself, so that you can laugh." Tao Yan smiled and arched his hand.

Then Tao Yan got up and gave up his seat to Tao Yan.

The few officials beside him also stood up.

"It's been two days, how much has it been recruited?" Su Xuan asked.

"My lord, it's all in the booklet in front of you." Tao Yan said.

On the table were several booklets with the words "Soldier's Book" written on them.

Su Xuan opened a book casually, but it was blank and there was no name.

Then, he turned to the bottom, still not seeing a name.

Su Xuan opened a few other books, but there was still no name!

"All there?" Su Xuan raised his eyebrows, looking unhappy.

"Yes, it's all there." Tao Yan replied.

"So, not a single soldier was recruited?" Su Xuan asked in a cold voice.

"That's the way it is, and your lordship is angry." Tao Yan said.

Gu Tiannan hurriedly said, "Lord Tao is also doing it himself, he must want to mention Lord Tao to solve problems, otherwise he wouldn't sit outside to dry in the sun with such a big sun."

"What the hell is going on?" Su Xuan said coldly.

"My lord, the lower officials also want to recruit soldiers as soon as possible, so that they can solve problems for the lord and the court! But the lower officials are so good that no one wants to be a soldier!" Tao Yan looked embarrassed, looking at it as if he was about to cry.

"Why doesn't anyone want to be a soldier?" Su Xuanli shouted.

"This ......"

"If you pay the soldiers, won't someone come to serve as a soldier?

Su Xuan said coldly.

"If you go back to your lordship, it's not that the lower officials don't pay the military salary, it's that the lower officials really can't get the military salary." Tao Yan replied.

Gu Tiannan hurriedly answered.

"My lord, don't you know that in the treasury of the Southwest Zhili Mansion, it has been losing money year after year. If it weren't for the benevolent government of the first emperor, Nanzhili didn't know how many people would starve to death! In recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued in the southwest, and all these taxes in the southwest have been used to help the victims. If you have any doubts, you can go back to your home and bring up the account book for your reference!" Gu Tiannan arched his hand and said.

Su Xuanqi was choked enough.

So Tao Yan agreed to the conscription, but he colluded with Gu Tiannan and was unwilling to come out with a tael of silver?

The southwest is not a fertile land, and with the benevolent government of the first emperor, the southwest straight, which has a small tax revenue, is even more pitiful.

And now that the imperial court has abolished conscription, these two feudal officials have no way to forcibly conscript military service in front of Su Xuan.

So after a turn, in the end, Su Xuan carried this pot himself?

Su Xuan called a good guy in his heart!

These two are really smart enough!

One set in front of him, one set on the back, and he didn't have the slightest intention to help him kill the thief!

Instead, he tried his best to fight with Su Xuan.

"Your Excellency, the new emperor has just succeeded to the throne and announced that he will be exempted from taxes for three years. The taxes that were originally confiscated this year cannot be collected any longer. The governor's yamen and the envoy's yamen are both overstretched. It is really difficult to get a lower official, and in order to save a little expense, I have to come out in person to show my face......" Tao Yan said.

He hurriedly raised his head and said, "Just this table and chair, they are the personal belongings of the lower official himself!"

Gu Tiannan saw that Tao Yan was selling miserably

, he hurriedly chimed in: "Your Excellency, you don't know, the subordinate is also the governor and the chief secretary. However, due to insufficient expenditures, the Yamen of the Chief Secretary had been abolished two years earlier. All the affairs of the Chief Executive are also settled within the governor's yamen."

Su Xuan squinted slightly and nodded.

So from the moment Tao Yan agreed to conscript, he thought of this countermeasure.

First, they took advantage of the new laws of the imperial court and did not forcibly conscript.

And they sell miserably, and if they don't pay the soldiers, no one will come to enlist in the army.

In this way, the two of them will not be able to recruit a single soldier!

And these two cauldrons, one must be carried by Su Xuan, who proposed the abolition of forced labor, and the other must be carried by the benevolence of the first emperor and the empress.

The two of them, as long as they pretend, don't have to do anything.

And Su Xuan can't blame them in the end!

Su Xuan also has to say that these two people are indeed smart!

The loophole in this must have been thought up by the smarter Tao Yan!

Since they have gone to such great lengths to prevent themselves from recruiting and suppressing bandits, there must be a big problem!
