Zhao Si is preparing for a rainy day, and Zhao Si's feudal state, Zhao Guo, Zhang Cang, Chen and others are also busy sorting out the situation and contacting Zhao Di's nobles.

Zhang Cang is in charge of analyzing the current fully credible officials.

Xiao He was responsible for stabilizing local governments and restoring local administration.

Chen Ping was responsible for taking a large amount of money from the treasury to invite nobles from all over the world to make friends, almost a small banquet every three days, and a big banquet every five days.

As a result, the order of the entire Zhao Land began to be restored in an orderly manner.

The actions of Zhang Cang and his entourage have achieved initial results, and the three of them met again today.

"The people's livelihood in the local government has probably been restored, the local official documents have lost a lot due to the rebellion, and the government treasury has also suffered a lot of losses, and the account books have either been burned or lost, in short, most of them are blamed on the rebellion......" Xiao He sighed and said.

"Nowadays, the government treasury is empty, the people's livelihood is desolate, the acres of land cannot be settled, and the financial endowment cannot be checked...... Chen Ping only goes in and out every day...... Now I don't have any money left. Xiao He looked at Chen Ping.

"I'm going with a mission, no yellow and white things are allowed, how can I calm people's hearts?" Chen Ping rolled his eyes.

"I naturally know that I am telling you the facts, now that the government treasury has no money to spare, and now the government cannot prepare all the cars and horses, and there are many arrears of officials in various places...... Xiao He sighed.

If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, Xiao He currently has the power of wealth, and is facing a Zhao Di with a withered livelihood, plus Chen Ping, a Pixiu who can only go in and out, can be described as haggard.

"Okay, the province, the flower, Chen Ping, how effective is your side?" Zhang Cang looked at Chen Ping and asked.

"Recently, the nobles of the entire Zhao land have almost figured it out, and I traveled on your orders, and now the prince is the king, and the nobles from all over the country are willing to sweep the couch to greet each other, discuss in detail, and are quite willing to do their best for the king." Chen Ping said with a smile.

"In this way, people's hearts have stabilized." Zhang Cang nodded.

"This is the battle report sent by Cao Shen Fan, Chen Yu previously wanted to raise all the troops and horses to attack Yingchuan, and the three battles were not defeated, and now he has flowed to the land of Jinyang, and the officials and governments around the country are struggling to resist, and the nobles of the family have won the grain Jingcong, which shows that Chen Ping's actions are effective, and the nobles of Zhao Di are willing to sit down and negotiate, and they are also willing to do things under the command of the king, and the people's hearts have been settled." Zhang Cang nodded and explained to Xiao He.

Chen Yu and the other rebellions were essentially puppets supported by the nobles of the family.

It's messy, it's profitable.

Therefore, the situation that Xiao He faced after mastering the local government was quite bad.

Because of the local rebellion, a lot of the inventory of acres of land in various places was lost, and there was a serious deficit in fiscal taxes.

The most important thing is that there is no proof of death......

Either it was burned or lost, Xiao He couldn't help it even if he was a god, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and Xiao He could only be forced to accept the current situation.

Of course, now that Zhao Di is the king and has autonomy, Chen Yu's significance is actually not so great for the nobles of the family.

Especially under the premise that Zhang Cang, Chen and others continued to exude goodwill after they settled in Zhaodi.

Chen Ping was ordered by Zhang Cang, representing that Zhang Cang constantly went to the banquet to the nobles of Zhao Di and greeted them with courtesy.

And Zhang Cang also showed humility in the face of the locals who came to apply for jobs, and he was eager to seek talents.

Easy to speak, able to decentralize, stupid and generous......

Even Xiao He himself was instructed by Zhang Cang to be as biased as possible towards the local nobles rather than impartially enforcing the law when dealing with local disputes.

There are all kinds of indications that Zhang Cang and Chen Ping came with the idea of governing Zhao Di with them.

No imaginary thunderbolt strikes?

All signs point to a bright future.

As a result, they took it for granted that they were half masters of the Zhao Kingdom.

As for the other half of the masters, of course, it is their king Zhao Si.

So, from the bottom of their hearts, they became loyal.

The role of Chen Yu and other chaotic parties has become dispensable, and even slightly glaring.

This is our Zhao Kingdom!

Therefore, the officials could work together in the face of the attack of Chen Yu and other rebellious parties, so that Chen Yu could not advance an inch.

The original grain and grass news and other support began to be gradually withdrawn, and the chaotic party can be described as lonely.

To make Zhao prosperous again has become their unanimous consensus.

Even in response to the current situation of emptiness and shortage of government treasury, some people expressed their willingness to sponsor a private ......

Some people have already begun to propose that everyone raise funds to renovate the Zhao Palace.

Although the respected King Zhao is far away in Xianyang and does not live in the Zhao Palace, this is also the face of their Zhao Kingdom, and this is also their future office location, so the big guys are very willing.

In short, with the efforts of Chen Ping and Zhang Cang, the current Zhao Di has begun to become united compared to the temptation, doubt, and scrutiny that has just arrived.

Chen Ping was originally a master of playing with people's hearts, and Zhang Cang also gave Chen Ping the highest support, money, and a real official position, and he could also represent Zhang Cang, which easily dispelled the suspicion and vigilance of the Zhao Digui family, and gave them a stunned look.

If it was just to pacify Zhao Di.

So that's pretty much the end of the matter.

As Chen Ping said, acting according to his strategy is nothing more than promising benefits, and the rebellion will be self-determined.

Zhao Di will soon be able to settle down completely, and then Chen Ping only needs to use a little trick to divide and win over the attack, and in five or six years, almost the entire Zhao Di will be able to be completely mastered.

However......

Zhang Cang wants more than that!

He wants more, he wants more, he wants it faster!

"General Wang Ben has sent 50,000 troops to Zhao to consult on counterinsurgency, which may arouse the vigilance of the Zhao people, Chen Ping, you are responsible for dispelling their vigilance." Zhang Cang said.

Of course, the counterinsurgency is just an excuse, and these 50,000 horses are of great use.

"As long as the gentleman is willing to accept the position of the minister, it is not difficult for them not to be suspicious." Chen Ping smiled and said.

"As for Xiao He...... You will be responsible for supplying their food, grass, ordnance and logistics......" Zhang Cang nodded and spoke.

"The treasury is empty...... Xiao He spread his hands.

"I know how much surplus there is in the treasury, and if there are no 50,000 soldiers and horses, although it is easy to quell the rebellion, check the acres of land and check the taxes, when are you going to delay it?" Zhang Cang glanced at Xiao He and said.

Xiao He sighed and agreed.

Xiao He is not a fool, of course he knows that the counterinsurgency is simple, but without the support of soldiers and horses, he wants to re-check the acres of land and check the taxes, and he can't do it in a few years.

He didn't want to spend on the army, mainly thinking about wool.

As for whose wool it is, it is naturally Daqin's wool......

After all, now Zhao Guo's finance is Xiao He's master, and if he can save it, he will save it...... The soldiers are out, and this military budget is not bad.

As for Daqin, because of the rebellion in various places this year, the finances are also unable to make ends meet?

That's the matter of Daqin......

He is now an official of the State of Zhao.

Moreover, the height of the temple is the only way to think of the temple.

If there is a difficulty above, it is from above, and the people below should still have to ask for funds.

However, Zhang Cang has obviously refused, although it is not broken, but everyone is a smart person, and there is no need to explain things thoroughly.

So, a few days later......

A large sum of money was taken away by Chen Ping again.

Xiao He almost gritted his teeth to watch this scene......

This is completely different from the feeling of being a county magistrate in Xianyang before.

It's not easy to be the capital county order, but there are people above his head after all, and the Xianyang County Government is the first good place, at least there is no problem with the finances, so life is not embarrassing, and the funds are very rich.

Now the power is great, but Xiao He is also the first time that he has faced such a serious fiscal deficit in the strict sense.

Chen Ping worked hard to get the money, and he had to prepare the military expenses of 50,000 horses.

The officials are still in arrears......

After the beginning of spring, you have to set aside some money for local cultivation.

Local facilities also need to be rebuilt......

Zhou Bo recently proposed a reorganization of Zhao's military system.

In the past, Zhao Di was a county system, with county soldiers and county soldiers as the mainstay.

Now that Zhao Di is fed, there must already be a complete military department and standing soldiers and horses belonging to Zhao State, which is another amount of money.

Seeing that the treasury was becoming empty, Xiao He couldn't sleep well.

"Open source and reduce expenditure, open source and reduce expenditure......" Xiao He sighed to himself.

There's really no way to throttle...... It's all poor like this.

It can only be open source......

Where the source is from, it is naturally open source from the nobles of Zhao Di's family.

It is the people who suffer from the local rebellion, and the local nobles and wealthy people are rich.

Having lost so many account books, Xiao He knew that he knew that many of them had been stolen by many people.

An internal inventory of government departments may be able to obtain a sum of money, but the lion's share must still be on the local nobility.

"The order to move the king's tomb is really a bad government!" Xiao He muttered.

But here's the problem......

There are a large number of Zhao Di nobles who are on the list of the Tomb Order.

You must know that this great turmoil involving the world is essentially because the First Emperor issued an order to move the king's tomb with almost indiscriminate attacks.

Almost all the nobles and wealthy families of the upper grades have been on the list of the tomb of the king.

No, if they send money to Xianyang, what will I use to fill the fiscal deficit?

They searched the place and finally supplied it to the central government?

My land continues to be poor...... In the current situation, is it possible to continue to search for the common people who have been harmed more than once by the military rebellion?

So Xiao He had a whim and found Zhang Cang.

"You mean, only give people, not money?" Zhang Cang raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao He.

"How do you send this? Where will the money come from in the treasury after it is delivered? Xiao He said seriously.

"At present, it is well known that the treasury is empty and the people are not happy, money is needed everywhere, Chen Ping only can't go in and out is your meaning, I can't disobey, Zhao's armaments also need to be reorganized, the city also needs to be repaired, the official's backlog has not been issued for half a year, not to mention these far away, the spring is coming, and he is defenseless, counting on the government to distribute farming tools for spring ploughing, farming tools! Not to mention the treasury of the local government, the farming tools were either damaged or lost, and even these things went into their stomachs.

They embezzled the wealth of Zhao State, so that Zhao Di was so poor, and after being arrested, he even sent all the money to Xianyang, so what should Zhao State do? The more Xiao He spoke, the more angry he became.

It's not that Xiao He can't hold his breath, it's that the locals are too inappropriate.

The prison guards steal from themselves, and the inside and outside should be combined, and there is not much left of the government's wealth that has been embezzled......

"No hurry...... No hurry...... Take your time. Zhang Cang looked at Xiao He, who was getting more and more angry, and shook his head and smiled.

"I've said everything that should be said, sir, you are not an unreasonable person, now Zhao Di is waiting to open up the source and reduce the expenditure, and the throttling can no longer be saved, so it can only be opened up......" Xiao He sighed.

"It's not impossible......" Zhang Cang thought for a moment and said.

"It's just that the decree of moving the king's tomb was promulgated after all, before the prince was crowned king, and Zhao Di had just sealed the country, so such a posture may attract criticism, so I will write a letter to the lord first......" Zhang Cang said.

When the matter is done, please take credit first.

Please send it over first after the work, and drag the money first.

Can't really let this group of people send all of them to Xianyang after they have scavenged Zhao Guo, right?

Then Zhao Guo has a hammer......

Xiao He got Zhang Cang's reply and left satisfied.

Zhang Cang wrote a letter to Zhao Si.

Well...... I still have to explain to the lord.

This thing is not difficult to do, it is nothing more than the lord's side doing his best, coaxing the first emperor and his old man, crying and being poor, and selling miserably.

As for Daqin?

Although the difficulties are a little more difficult, it is not just a matter of saying that the wealth of the world is offered to Xianyang.

A year or two of turmoil has not made Daqin break his bones.

Otherwise, the First Emperor would not have insisted on promulgating the decree of moving the king's tomb.

To put it bluntly, this level of turmoil and loss is actually within the acceptable range of Great Qin.

In the final analysis, it still depends on whether Zhao Si can coax the first emperor.

Yes, even if the rebellion has not been quelled, when the 50,000 soldiers and horses are mobilized, Zhang Cangxiao and others are already preparing to purge Zhao Di.

Counterinsurgency?

Such a big move is too much to look up to Chen Yu.

As for Chen Yu......

He did feel that Zhang Cang and his party looked up to him too much.

Since Zhao Si was crowned king, Zhao Di became Zhao again.

Chen Yu's situation began to deteriorate sharply.

With the close contact between Zhang Cang and the others and the local nobles, Chen Yu was able to get less and less help.

Now...... The people who used to secretly support him have completely stood on the opposite side of him.

His foothold was easily destroyed, so much so that he could only wander around Jinyang.

The hearts of the people are scattered, and the sergeants always take advantage of the night to escape.

As he continued to advance, there were fewer and fewer men and soldiers who were originally attached to him.

Up to now, he once set off a rebellion of more than 100,000 people, but now there are only 30,000 horses left.

And people are still leaving.

Chen Yu knew in his heart that his death was inevitable.

At this point, it became clear to him that he was nothing more than a puppet, a tool.

However, when he learned the news that the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Qin people had rushed to Zhaodi, Chen Yu still felt outrageous.

"How can I be so virtuous?"

Looking at the lake in front of him, Chen Yu showed a somewhat wry smile on his face.

It has fallen into the predicament of having no soldiers, no food, no foothold, and no news channels.

Obviously, he was able to easily exterminate himself by mobilizing county soldiers by recruiting troops on the spot, and he deliberately sent 50,000 troops.

It's really, a little too much to think of yourself.
