Chapter 239: Liang Xiao and his people
Higashino Hongji hurriedly reminded: "My lord, although the new official has taken office with three fires, but when you first came to Yanzhou, your foundation is not stable, and you must not offend those rice merchants, let alone kill them easily......"
Liang Xiao smiled: "Lord Dongye misunderstood what I meant!" ”
Higashino Hongji was stunned: "Please also ask Lord Liang to teach!" ”
Liang Xiao said: "The reason why I said that they must cooperate is not that they are ready to force them to reduce the price by force, but that if they dare to maliciously raise the price and withdraw the grain from Yanzhou, then I will make them pay ten times the price!" ”
Higashino Hongji was silent, and his eyes were full of disapproval.
He found that he seemed to think a little highly of this Marquis of Lanling.
"He has been in the capital for a long time, and he has been taken care of by His Majesty and the Prime Minister for a long time, so he doesn't understand firewood, rice, oil, salt, or the darkness of officialdom?"
Dongye Hongji remembered that Liang Xiao had helped refugees before his career, and after restoring his title, he greatly reduced the Lanling food tax, and Dongye Hongji had a preliminary impression of Liang Xiao.
"This Marquis of Lanling may be a young man with a lot of enthusiasm and brutality......"
With this judgment in his heart, Higashino Hongji couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Once, wasn't it too?
After he ran into walls everywhere and was even squeezed out of the capital, he saw the darkness of officialdom and learned to be tactful.
A person who can get out of the mud without being stained like Prime Minister Zhuge has only a handful of time, and Liang Xiao is still young and can stop the trend?
Dongye Hongji looked at Liang Xiao again, and he already had a fixed opinion in his heart.
Help this hot-blooded young man more!
Just ...... It is to pay tribute to the self who was once full of enthusiasm.
Higashino Hongji talked about the recent public security in Yanzhou.
"Because Yanzhou is located in the north of Youzhou, facing Beihu, there are a lot of spies in the city, and it is impossible to prevent it. And there are bullies who disturb the people from time to time, and most of them are also provoked by the Beihu people......"
Liang Xiao frowned and said, "Lord Dongye, no matter who provokes it, if there are bullies disturbing the people, they should be dealt with strictly." Have you dealt with it? ”
Higashino Hongji replied: "Naturally, we have to deal with it, but sometimes there are too many vicious incidents, and we may not be able to catch them, so we can only ...... them slowly."
Liang Xiao comprehended, nodded and said, "It's okay, since I am appointed as the Taishou of Yanzhou, I should be responsible for this matter." After I have arranged the errands of the civil officials accompanying me, I will personally inspect all parts of Yanzhou. ”
Higashino Hongji was inexplicably worried in his heart, and just nodded.
This is an ominous premonition.
After handing over the Taishou seal ribbon and documents, Higashino Hongji said goodbye to Liang Xiao and rushed home.
"What about the Moonman?"
Higashino Hongji couldn't find it, so he asked Yahuan urgently.
Yahuan said: "Miss, she went to the academy at the invitation of Miss Duanmu to have a look. ”
"Duanmu Yan?" Higashino Hongji frowned.
The beloved daughter of Duanmu Festival, the cousin of Duanmu Yuncheng, and the famous talented girl of Yanzhou.
Of course, he didn't recognize the name of this talented woman.
But I can't stand the strength of the Duanmu family!
Duanmu Yuncheng, the former number one talent in the capital, was touted by those big families.
For those big families, as long as the background is hard enough, it is not impossible to be an emperor.
Higashino Xuanji rushed to hear the news and looked at his brother suspiciously.
"Hongji, what makes you so anxious to find her?"
Higashino Hongji said: "I'm worried that she will follow those literati of the academy and slander Liang Xiao......"
"Oh? What do you think of Liang Xiaoqi? Higashino was puzzled.
Higashino Hongji said: "I'm not sure yet, but the person who can be praised by Prime Minister Zhuge will be a handsome man no matter how unbearable he is, right?" ”
Higashino didn't think so.
"If the prime minister has a unique vision, he should bring more reliable talents to support him, how can he let those families run rampant?"
Dongye Hongji knew his brother's grievances, and pouted: "Anyway, you are optimistic about the falling moon, don't let her bury the Dongye clan, Liang Xiao is a celebrity of the Son of Heaven, and he has the right to cut first and then play, you are already white, and I am just a fourth rank who has just stepped down." ”
"Even if he wants to kill someone, he has to be reasonable, right?" Higashino Xuanji frowned.
Higashino Hongji said impatiently: "In short, you should pay attention, at least don't pin your net worth and life on other people's morality!" How did we get squeezed out of the capital in the first place, have you forgotten? Can you stop our dad from breaking his heart for the Higashino clan again! ”
Looking at his depressed and departing brother, Higashino Xuanji was thoughtful.
"I should go with him today to see who he is......"
After a while, Mama came over and reported, "Master, Miss is back." ”
Higashino Luoyue returned home, looking disappointed, and brought back a pretty girl.
"Dad, that Liang Xiao is really as Ning Ning and Yanyan said, he is good at buying people's hearts, and he is a hypocrite after all!"
Hearing this, Higashino Xuanji was shocked and looked at the girl beside Higashino Luoyue.
Duanmu Yan!
"Miss Duanmu, I have something urgent to talk about with my son......"
Duanmu Yan smiled shyly and nodded, "Then I won't bother the two of you!" ”
"Yanyan, you have a meal and then go~"
"No need, I'll be satisfied if you have this intention~"
Duanmu Yan said goodbye in a hurry, and after turning around, there was a bit of chill in her eyes.
"Dad, why do you always drive Yanyan away!" Higashino Falling Moon complained.
Dongye Xuanji said in a deep voice: "Keep your distance from the people of the Duanmu family in the future, the Dongye clan has a holiday with them!" ”
"That's just a difference in political opinions, Yanyan and their people are very good......" Dongye Luoyue was not convinced.
Dongye Xuanji said: "In short, you have to listen to your uncle, don't slander Liang Xiao!" ”
"I know~ I thought it was a big deal~" Higashino Luoyue sulked.
Yanzhou in the Great Zhou Dynasty is equivalent to a county town and belongs to Youzhou.
After Liang Xiao took over the Taishou Mansion, he assigned positions to the civil officials who accompanied him.
Qin Baili, the county leader, Lin Xiu, the chief bookkeeper Qin Xun, and the rest of the important civil posts such as the Shaofu were held by Zhuge Hui for him.
Lei Hong, Gu Pingxiu and others held military positions such as captains.
After the assignment, Liang Xiao immediately sent someone to post a notice announcing that he was officially inaugurated.
Old Man Zhan and Zhan Shu were also placed in the Taishou Mansion and became Gu Pingxiu's neighbors.
The old man sat opposite Liang Xiao, flattered, he couldn't believe it for a while, suspected that he was dreaming, pinched his legs and stomach, and gritted his teeth in pain.
Gu Pingxiu hugged Zhan Shu and went to be busy elsewhere.
"Old man Zhan, you also experienced the disaster of moving the capital and came to Yanzhou?"
Old Man Zhan nodded again and again, and sighed: "During the disaster of moving the capital, his father died under the knife of the Beihu people in order to cover the grass people and their mother and son. At this time, we were robbed by Beihu in the north of Yanzhou, and the child was injured by his mother, and he committed suicide on the spot for fear of dragging us down, but fortunately, there were officers and soldiers who collected their bodies for them......"
Saying that, Old Man Zhan's face was full of reverence, and he sighed: "We fled halfway and almost fell into the hands of Beihu again, but fortunately, there was a group of chivalrous men at that time, and it was a woman named Red Blood Sword who led the team......"
