Wang Gang walked out of the small courtyard with a lost face, originally thinking that Zhang Yue'er had forgiven her, but it can be seen from what happened just now that it was not.

"Then let time fade slowly," Wang Gang sighed and said to himself.

Wang Gang came to the state government a little depressed, and he didn't even react to the little officials who saluted next to him, so frightened that the officials thought that they had done something wrong, which made the big guy angry.

"Go and invite Song Cheng to come" Wang Gang said to the trembling little official and entered the inner study of the mansion.

This is specially prepared for the state pastor, and it is also the place where Wang Gang handles government affairs, although he does not come here often. It's still cleaned up.

Wang Gang pondered for a while when there was a knock at the door.

"Come in"

Wang Gang agreed and did not go out to greet him.

"See the State Shepherd"

"Song engaged, please be seated"

Song Kuan sat down on the soft collapse opposite Wang Gang, and saw that Wang Gang's mood was not very good, so he asked cautiously.

"State pastor, is there something going on in the market?"

"Oh, no. Fan Zhi said that you go to the market to find me, but the affairs of the Zhou family have been dealt with" Wang Gang hurriedly cleaned up his mood and led the topic to business.

"Yes, the state pastor, all the money, food and property are here," Song Kuan finished speaking, took out a document from his cuff and handed it to Wang Gang.

"Hard Song engaged"

Wang Gang took the paperwork, read it roughly, and then put it on the low table.

"I don't know how the state pastor is going to dispose of the Zhou family's land," Song Kuan asked cautiously.

When Zhou's house was raided, the money and grain had been transported back to the treasury, and as for those inns, restaurants, and brothels, according to Wang Gang's instructions, they were handed over to the people in Jingcheng Pass, that is, the more than 4,000 acres of land, and Song Kuan didn't know what to do.

"Don't take care of some of the farms on the edge of Jingcheng Pass, as for the land, it should belong to Yu County, find the Taiyuan County Guard and the county order of Yu County to discuss, and return it to Yu County as an official field," Wang Gang pondered for a while and said.

Wang Gang's answer was unexpected by Song Kuan, who originally thought that Wang Gang would sell these lands together to confiscate the government, but he didn't expect to return them directly to Yuxian.

"Good, good. The lower official will go to Zhang Taishou to discuss," Song Kuan said and was about to get up.

Wang Gang hurriedly stopped him and said.

"There are two more things that Song Cheng needs to do"

"Please instruct the state pastor" Song Kuan sat down and waited for Wang Gang's order.

"The first thing is that you take out 40 million money from the treasury of the state government to buy grain, and return the grain that was relieved in the counties below some time ago, yes, just give more, after all, the counties are not rich, and try to raise the price of grain to a suitable price, now 80 yuan of doumi is too low, it is not conducive to the trade of merchants, raise the price to 180 to 200 yuan of doumi, you can tell those merchants, this is what I mean"

Song Kuan didn't understand even more, did this state pastor think that he had too much money, although some time ago he went down to supervise and let every county give relief to refugees. But you don't have to pay it back. However, this can be understood, what kind of operation is the price of food too high.

"State pastor, the price of grain is too high, and it is the people of the state who suffer, is this appropriate?"

"Reasonable price, in order to maintain for a long time, now the price of grain in Luoyang is also 120 yuan, the merchants transported to Taiyuan, if there is not enough profit, naturally no one is willing to transport, you buy grain priority to buy the grain in the new market, it is best to buy all of it, so that the businessmen will continue to transport grain to the state, do you understand what I mean?"

Song Kuan thought for a while, and also felt that what the state pastor said made sense, and then asked.

"So what's the second thing?"

"Calculate how much manpower and material resources are needed to dig a moat for Jinyang, it is best to take someone to investigate it on the spot, and when the market over there is done, then dig the moat" Wang Gang said.

Song Kuan was stunned for a moment, this Xinzhou Mu is really a loser. As soon as the Zhou family was raided, it was immediately dismissed. Digging a moat is not a trivial matter, and it is not something that can be done with tens of millions of dollars.

"Governor Mu, the lower officials think that this matter is still to be discussed, at least discuss it with a few people before making a decision"

"I know, so I'll let you calculate it first, and there will be a guard of honor when you discuss, go and do it" After Wang Gang finished speaking, he smiled at Song Kuan.

"Governor, this moat thing. There really isn't so much money and food in the state," Song Kuan still wanted to persuade again.

"I'll figure out how to deal with money and food," Wang Gang said.

"The wages of the people on the other side of the market have not been paid, and it has been half a month, and the people have opinions."

"How much wages" Wang Gang also knows that there is still a large part of the money to be paid in the market.

"More than 50 million yuan, now there is a total of 120 million yuan in the treasury of the state government, and the state pastor has to take out 40 million yuan to buy food, and then pay 50 million, there are only more than 30 million left" Song Kuan sighed and said.

Originally, I thought that this more than 100 million yuan, saving a little money, could last until next year's tax revenue, but I didn't expect Wang Gang to spend so much money, and the market side would have to pay nearly 4 million yuan a day.

"Fan is responsible for the wages on the market side, and the market is responsible for its own profits and losses. Anyway, buying tools in the early stage is also the market's own money," Wang Gang said after pondering for a while.

Song Kuan was stunned when he heard this, what does it mean that the market is self-financing, how can he pay the wages of the people with that little rent. But since Wang Gang said so, he didn't want to ask too much.

"Then the next official will leave first"

After Song Kuan left, Wang Gang found a small official again and found Han Hao, the county commander of Jinyang County.

It was the first time for Han Hao to meet Wang Gang in the inner study, and it was a formal occasion. The inner study is equivalent to the office of later generations, and generally only official business will be in the inner study of the state government.

"I don't know what the state pastor has to say when he finds his subordinates," Han Hao knelt down and saluted.

"Sit down and talk," Wang Gang said without getting up, pointing to the other side.

"Xie Zhou Mu"

"It's a private matter to find Han County's order today," Wang Gang said with a smile.

"Governor Speaks"

"When I was appointed as the general of Zhenbei, the fief was changed from the original Ruyang to Jinyang, and the Han County Commander knew it."

"Zhang Taishou has already informed his subordinates"

"Then how many official fields are there in Jinyang County," Wang Gang asked again.

"More than 50 hectares of fertile land, 130 hectares of mountainous land, Jinyang Hou is a first-class county marquis, you can get 10 hectares of fertile land, 500 mulberry trees, because there are no mulberry trees in Jinyang County, generally change mulberry trees to mountains, a total of 10 hectares of fertile land, 20 hectares of mountainous land, I don't know that the state pastor has taken a fancy to that place, and the subordinates will help the state pastor handle the documents"

"On the edge of Fenshui, how many acres of mountainous land is there in the southeast corner of Jinyang County?"

Han Hao suspected that he had heard it wrong, generally the Hou Ye gave priority to the choice of fertile land, most of which were nominally mountainous, but actually were fertile land, and they were also allocated to the people who were entitled, like Wang Gang, who asked the mountains directly, he hadn't encountered them much.

"What the state pastor said, is it the mountainous land on the edge of the market, there are some of them that are not official fields, a total of more than 20 hectares. There are also hundreds of acres of fertile land near the canal."

"That's it, it's not Guantian's trouble, Han Xianling will help me replace it. In addition, I plan to build the Zhenbei General's Mansion in Jinyang, which is also that land. No need to divide the land anymore."

Wang Gang was the general of Zhenbei, and theoretically he could be north of the Yellow River. If the Zhenbei General's Mansion is built in any place, the local government will set aside land for him to build. But he is also the pastor of the state, so it is more reasonable for the general's mansion to be repaired in the state.

As for the place in the state, it depends on Wang Gang's mood.
