When Pei Minh Li and Ruan Hongxi acted, Li Ji, who was in Taiyuan, had already started the transformation of Taiyuan City according to Li Zhi's arrangement.

This is the place where the Li family made their fortune, so Li Shimin also attaches great importance to this place.

In addition, this was originally Li Zhi's own fiefdom, so what benefits did Li Zhi naturally not forget here.

At present, among the several commercial cities, only Luoyang City has not been taken care of by Li Zhi.

First, Li Zhi's subordinates did not have so many manpower.

The second is that he doesn't want Li Chengqian to feel that his hand is too long.

Now that the development of Lingnan is in full swing, as long as someone starts to take the initiative to move here, he can withdraw at any time.

With such a credit in hand, there is no need for him to cause too much trouble.

As reclamation continued, the entire southwest direction of Guangzhou was finally developed.

Next, these people will enter the territory of Duanzhou.

And here the environment is slightly better.

Although this place has always been the place of exile for the degraded officials of the Tang Dynasty, it can also play a role in some governance.

Moreover, it is built close to the Xijiang River, one of the golden waterways in the Lingnan region.

Therefore, it is also an important transportation hub.

When Li Zhi followed the reclamation army to inspect the situation here, he was soon approached by Zhang Shifan, the assassin of Duanzhou, who received the news.

He was followed by a large group of old, weak, sick and disabled, who at first glance looked like a group of victims fleeing the famine.

After saying hello to him, Li Zhi asked suspiciously, "Why did Lord Zhang come here with so many people?" ”

Zhang Shifan said with a smile: "Your Highness heard that Your Highness is developing Lingnan, so you have the courage to ask Your Highness to help these lonely people reclaim some land. ”

Li Zhi glanced at the people behind Zhang Shifan, and then frowned and asked, "The government has already provided special assistance to these people, and has reduced or exempted their taxes.

Why does Lord Zhang want this king to reclaim farmland for them again? ”

Zhang Shifan said: "Your Highness doesn't know, the location of these people's fields is not very good, and the legs and feet are not convenient, so ..."

Li Zhi frowned immediately after hearing this.

He glanced at the crowd in the distance again and asked, "Are all these people lonely and widowed?" ”

Zhang Shifan said: "Exactly." ”

Li Zhi asked again: "The location of their fields is not good?" ”

Zhang Shifan still answered yes.

So Li Zhi asked in wonder, "Why is this happening?" ”

After hearing this question, Zhang Shifan's mouth opened, but he couldn't speak.

Seeing this situation, Li Zhi immediately decided that there must be something unspeakable in this.

So he said to Zhang Shifan: "Lord Zhang has something to say, but it doesn't matter, this king will definitely deal with this matter according to the facts." ”

After hearing Li Zhi's words, Zhang Shifan sighed and said, "Xia Guan has just been in office for more than half a year.

This has been the case with these people since the arrival of the lower officials. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed bitterly and continued: "Originally, Xia Guan wanted to arrange for the surrounding people to help cultivate some land.

However, the government has no money at all, and it cannot get any remuneration to hire helpers. ”

Speaking of this, his tone changed suddenly, and he continued to speak with anger: "Xiaguan originally thought that he would handle this matter after collecting last year's taxes.

But I don't want to... But I don't want the government to still owe the wages of the servants. ”

After saying this, he said with an angry face: "Xia Guan has never seen such a shameless bureaucrat. ”

After Li Zhi heard this, he suddenly shouted in his heart, "Hold the grass."

He didn't expect someone to be so greedy.

This can already be regarded as scraping off the wall skin and digging three feet into the ground.

So he asked, "Is there any account book in the state capital for the past years?" Take this king to check it out. ”

Zhang Shifan said: "There are account books, Your Highness will follow me to the Yamen to have a look." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and then motioned for Zhang Shifan to lead the way in front.

Zhang Shifan waved his hand as he walked forward to let the people disperse.

Duanzhou Thorn Mansion sounds like a rather high-end name.

However, this place is located in Lingnan, and it has always been far away from the emperor.

Coupled with the sparse population here, the imperial court did not pay attention to the tax situation here at all.

Therefore, when Li Zhi sat in the dilapidated lobby of the Assassin's Mansion and flipped through the previous account books, he was almost annoyed by the messy accounts above.

He had no other way at this time, so he had to ask Liu An to take out a blank account book and copy it with a frown.

With his super memory and computing ability, Li Zhi had just started scolding his mother when he had just copied a third.

When he had copied it all, he threw out the last of the books.

Immediately after that, Li Zhi opened his mouth and scolded the street above this lobby.

He is not as gentle as these ancients, so he can be said to be full of foul language.

Everyone present opened their mouths in shock.

Among them, Liu An, Chai Long and Duan Shizi were even about to fall off their eyes.

They had never seen Li Zhi appear so angry.

At this time, Li Zhi pointed to the broken doors, windows and walls around the Thorn History Mansion and scolded: "This is the Thorn History Mansion that cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair?"

This pedal horse can also be regarded as a new look, majestic atmosphere?

These dogs deserve to be killed by the whole family, and it will definitely not be a good thing to give birth to such a shameless thing..."

Li Zhi stood next to the public case and pointed out that his father scolded his mother, and scolded more than a cup of tea.

Even the officials standing on both sides had never heard of the cursed words.

It wasn't until Li Zhi himself felt smoke in his throat that he stopped.

Then he quickly picked up the tea on the table and dried it in one gulp.

After drinking the tea, Li Zhi also calmed down.

Then he opened his mouth and said to Zhang Shifan: "Lord Zhang came here to fill the vacancy of the previous corrupt official.

You can rest assured that the corrupt officials related to these ledgers will definitely kill his dog as long as he is still alive. ”

After saying this, he continued to speak to Zhang Shifan: "This king will arrange for someone to handle the affairs here.

But this king hopes that Lord Zhang will not follow the old path of those dogs. ”

Zhang Shifan bowed down and said: "Your Highness, relax your heart, the lower official swears here, as long as the lower official is still in office, he will work hard to find food and clothing for the people of Duanzhou." ”

After hearing this, Li Zhi raised his legs and walked out.

I only heard him say as he walked: "This king remembers you, as long as you live up to today's words, he will protect you with a bright future." ”

Liu An and the others hurriedly followed Li Zhi behind.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to take a serious look at Zhang Shifan.

This young official, who is less than thirty, may not know that his request for the people's life today directly made him hug the lap of His Royal Highness King Jin.
