Chapter 52: The Best of Both Worlds

Salute first and then soldier, Cui Xuan understands this truth, and has always done so.

After drinking wine, eating enough, and the etiquette is over, no matter how polite it is, there is no need for that.

I'm here to be a wicked person, after all, it's not much better than pushing people into the fire.

This pot of salted fish enjoying peace and happiness has no ambitions. You have to force him to move every day, to run around, how can he be happy.

Cui Xuan summarized today's government affairs plainly: "Yuanyang County, now the cultivated land population ranks first among all states, and the contribution is indispensable, and there is a reward."

Lan Cheng'an, the former county commander, is at the bottom of the political record, if you are really embarrassed to be the county order, don't force it. There are still many people who are willing to serve the people of a county in this county.

As for the other county officials, there is no merit and no fault, and there is no reward or punishment.

When the official first arrived, he still needed someone to assist, Shi Zhiyuan of Yuanchun County, was promoted to the governor of the state, and he will take office after today.

If you have any doubts, please raise them as soon as possible. ”

There was a chill at the bottom, and Shi Zhiyuan's heart was also a lot cold, this Ming Sheng and secretly fell, from a county order to an adjutant, or to do things in front of Cui Xuan, I am afraid that there is no good life, especially the previous matter, the housekeeper of Cui Mansion has disappeared, obviously he already knows.

Cui Xuan, as the host, continued to tell the story, "Now the princess means that first let the people survive the cold winter, and then do a good job of farming, and the people's taxes should naturally be used for the people." There is still grain in the treasury of the state capitals, and if there are hungry families without land and food, they will be helped first. If there is any person who encroaches on the fertile land and forcibly buys and sells, it will be dealt with strictly, and if it has anything to do with you, please resign this morning to protect yourself.

The farming album printed by the princess before should still be there, and before the beginning of spring, it must be understood by the farmers in the county. Each county prepares agricultural tools according to the population, and if there are people who use obsolete agricultural tools or cannot afford them, they can go to the county government to rent them in turn, without discrimination, and no fees are charged. In the coming year, it is imperative to make the people of each county richer. ”

When he had given the command, the people dispersed. He was the only one to speak in this meeting, without the slightest delay, and it was all important matters. The original Li County Order was beaten with 20 boards, and he went back with grinning. Yuanli County has fertile arable land and dense population, not bad for the states, but only the governor is careless, and everyone is usually hot, and seeing him punished, there is a sense of depression in their hearts.

It's just that I can't continue to get by, otherwise I can't escape such an ending, and I feel uncomfortable with a hint of oppression.

Let's say that Shi Zhiyuan went home that night to pack his luggage and go to the state office, he really didn't believe that Cui Xuan could do anything to him, after all, he was also a nobleman, and he was lawless, although he was a little afraid of these families, but Cui Xuan had been hidden for a long time, and today he was polite and polite, and only punished a poor scholar, which made people not afraid.

Lan Chengan handed in his resignation that night, and earnestly explained the affairs of the state, how many people had no land, although the county was enough to support the people, but because of his own incompetence, the people suffered. I have studied hard for many years, hoping to make a career, but I have failed to live up to His Majesty's trust, and I am really shameless to be this parent official.

Cui Xuan found out that this was a smart person, and he was finally able to become an official, but because of many obstacles, he couldn't use his fists and kicks, which led to his mediocre political performance now, and he was unwilling to come to him, just to get a word of approval. It's just that whether you can really do a good job still needs to be tested. Cui Xuan went with two official documents, only Lan Chengan needed to fill in two names, and the master of Yuanli County and the head catcher were appointed and dismissed with him. All forces cannot hinder Cui Xuan's determination to let this state rise, and the forces behind them will not make trouble in front of His Majesty for the affairs of this state.

Lan Cheng'an punished many tenants in the state who depended on the wealthy, in order to exempt the imperial court from paying taxes on their own land, and relying on the powerful, not only reducing the taxes in the state, but also reducing the population of formal household registration. When the land was divided again in the coming year, he, the parent official, could not open his mouth to ask those who had big backers behind him. A county order, in this important town on the outskirts of Beijing, thought that this was the case in this life, but I didn't expect that there was a big opportunity, how could he not behave well.

Since this change in Yuanli County, many people in the state have been panicked and worried about liquidation, and they will be punished according to the law at least and imprisoned at worst. There is a big tree behind, Cui Xuan is full of confidence, and Lan Chengan is fearless.

Yuanli County is the least changed, the Shi family in Yuanchun County, in the past, there was a county order in charge, lawless, Cui Xuan deliberately calculated, found out many mistakes, Shi Zhiyuan suffered a lot of blame, and the Shi family was not spared. The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and for a while, the interests of the Shi family were gradually divided up by the "world friends" of the past, and Shi Zhiyuan hated Cui Xuan's teeth, but he had no way to bend down and obey his orders every day.

Cui Xuan had no intention of playing with him, but he was just slowly torturing him to show others the consequences of his tricks, and the time was not ripe to kill the first evil, so he took advantage of it.

Shi Zhiyuan could only write a letter to Yao Chong, who was not far away, to show his loyalty to Li Tang's orthodoxy and his heart of defection, hoping that he could uphold justice for himself and save himself from the fire. In the letter, he described himself as a loyal minister who presided over justice, and portrayed Cui Xuan as a villain who did not understand political affairs and killed people and seized money.

Yao Chong really doesn't have a good impression of this person, but now that he is close to Cui Xuan, he can listen to a lot of Yuanzhou affairs, and patiently reply to him with a letter.

Euphemistic and hopeful rejection, Yao Chong has always been very good at it, and he can count the money for him if he sells it.

This letter gave Shi Zhiyuan a lot of confidence, if people have faith, they can be more tenacious.

Shi Zhiyuan told Cui Xuan that he didn't know about current affairs in the past, but now he has decided to change his past wrongs, and hopes that Master Cui can give him a chance to make meritorious contributions regardless of his past suspicions.

Cui Xuan was surprised to find that this languishing person was actually energetic again. This is not good, if he is better, how can he be worthy of the princess who appreciates him, and how can he be worthy of the grievances he has suffered?

Many people in Yuanzhou are willing to make friends with Cui Xuan, and the banquet has never stopped, but he has never been interested in boring banquets, and getting drunk with these people has also bent his identity and rarely attended. Since there is a person around you who is eager to perform, you naturally have to make the best use of it.

He could have sat in the study and talked with the magnates here, but Cui Xuan really didn't have the temperament, he didn't talk speculatively for more than half a sentence, and he only wanted to listen to it during mealtime. It's just that Xungui has always loved to drink, and when he is drunk, he delays things, the family is too elegant, and he always calls some songs and dances, and the people who are really disturbed can't be clean. Shi Zhiyuan must be able to get along with these nobles, and if there is a decree to deal with these people in the future, it will be better for him to come forward to show his loyalty.

It's the best of both worlds.

Second watch, good night.
