No matter what happened before, but in the current situation, there are only more than two thousand taels of silver left.

Even if you don't build the canal dam for the time being, it will not be enough.

Not to mention anything else, just the official documents piled up like a hill, if you want to process them all, it is estimated that you will need tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Money...... Money!

He Yi had another headache.

When he was in Pingyuan County before, he was worried about money for a while, and he thought that after taking Huyang, the financial situation would improve, but he didn't expect the situation here to be even worse.

This banquet can't go on. If you continue to eat and drink like this, I am afraid that you will have to spend a few hundred taels of silver, and now, it is to spend an extra copper plate, He Yi feels extremely painful.

......

He Yi ordered people to withdraw from the banquet, looked around at the officials in the hall, and said helplessly: "Tell me, do you have any good ways to solve the current problem of silver and silver?"

He really has no choice but to gather everyone's thoughts to solve this matter.

The hall was quiet, and the people stared at each other, and after thinking for a long time, no one came up with a way that was even inappropriate.

They really can't help it.

The source of money in Taishoufu is nothing more than two things: first, taxes. Second, the Imperial City has allocated funds, but they are still months away from being credited.

As for the other way to get money, it can only be forced to impose a new tax.

For example, a poll tax, or next year's tax in advance......

If it were the previous Liu Yi and Liu Taishou, this method would be feasible, but the new Taishou in front of him ...... Since taking office, he has been focusing on official business, not thinking about tea and dinner, and he is also reducing taxes and building water conservancy, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a person who can do the kind of thing that harms the people.

But as everyone knows, to be a good official, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

Under the stage, Li Ai's eyes swept around, and seeing that everyone was silent, he took the initiative to stand up and said in a deep voice: "I have a plan here, it depends on whether Ming Gong has the courage to implement it!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience laughed. Especially Pei Dong, Jia Shao and other military generals, they laughed the most.

A person without courage can enter the Zhao family and the Taishou Mansion alone, and the conspiracy of Yang will blossom at the same time? A person without courage can recover a county town without blood?

Are you kidding!

However, when someone finally put forward an opinion, He Yi's face was also grim, and he suddenly came to his senses: "Yu Zhi, you can't help but underestimate me too much." There's a clever idea, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

For the sake of today, whether it is a good way or a bad way, there must be a way for reference first, which is better than doing nothing.

Li Aiyi said: "The Zhao family in Huyang is rich enough to rival the country, if you can take a piece of meat from the Zhao family, it will be worth the taxes of Huyang City for three years!"

Do you want to use the Zhao family?

He Yi frowned, thought carefully for a long time, but shook his head for a while, and sighed: "This matter is not feasible. ”

Sooner or later, he will use the knife against the Zhao family, but not now.

This has nothing to do with courage, but ...... He'll have to wait.

Wait for the army of Huyang City to finish training, wait for a suitable opportunity, and wait for an appropriate excuse.

Because once the Zhao family is dispatched, it must be justified, so that all parties can't find any fault.

After all, He Yi, the position of Taishou, was taken by himself, and if he rashly attacked the Zhao family without a suitable excuse, the Qi Sect would definitely be aware of it.

Now there are a large number of monks from other places in the city, and once they learn about it, it will inevitably spread through these people.

If it reaches the imperial city and the ears of the national teacher Xu Ming, with his ingenuity, he will definitely guess a few clues.

He Yi couldn't let Xu Ming know that he was still alive, there were too many things involved......

In addition, it is strength.

Although He Yi had now become the lord of a city, he still couldn't directly face a large Qi Cultivation Sect with nearly a thousand monk disciples.

Seeing He Yi's refusal, Li Ai was a little impatient, and said: "Why not? Before I entered the Taishou Mansion, I had heard that there were 20,000 elite soldiers in Huyang, all of whom were equipped with demon-breaking weapons, and they were so powerful that they could hit gold and pierce stones! Moreover, that Zhao family was actually a tumor in Huyang City, and it was impossible to get rid of it! I was willing to ask for the position of vanguard and lead the army to besiege the Zhao family!"

As soon as his voice fell, his eyes looked directly at He Yi, and he knelt on one knee to ask for battle.

“......”

He Yi looked at Li Ai expressionlessly, but did not speak. The eyes seemed more and more hollow and blank.

When Gongliangju recommended this person before, he said that he was decisive and ruthless, eager for quick success, and full of ambition. At first, He Yi didn't believe it, but now it seems that it is.

Besides, he summoned him to come to assist in civil and political affairs, but at this moment he suddenly talked about military affairs, and tried in vain to take up the position of pioneer.

It's not a quick success.

But...... Unauthorized.

"If it is really both internal and external, both civil and military, then it is also a rare talent, but it is a pity to use it carefully. He Yi commented in his heart.

On the side, Gongliangju saw all this in his eyes, and was secretly anxious in his heart.

He knows the character of his young general very well, although he has an expressionless appearance, but the more he does this, the more it proves that he is angry.

"Yu Zhi, don't mess around!" Gongliangju's face changed, but he pointed at Li Ai and said sharply: "Soldiers, even if you die! Once you send troops, there will be rivers of blood and corpses all over the field! Why can you say such a big thing so easily? The soldiers charged into battle, not afraid of life and death, and it was due to the bravery of the soldiers! But as the lord of a city, how could the lord not pay attention to the life and death of the soldiers?"

This is indeed the case.

The 20,000 soldiers and horses in Huyang City can be said to be all of He Yi's family, and it is impossible to say that he will move, because there are not many cards in his hand, if he wins miserably, it is better not to win.

Otherwise, everything will be back to square one.

Li Ai still wanted to say something, but thinking of Gongliangju's identity and his relationship with He Yi, he could only swallow what he wanted to say into his stomach, sit back in his seat, and no longer talk.

But the dissatisfaction and contempt on his face could be seen by anyone.

Then there was a long silence.

It seems that there is really no other way.

He Yi waved his sleeves, and when he was about to let the full hall of officials disperse, Liao Qianzhong, who was in the first seat on the left, got up and walked out, walked to the middle of the hall, and bowed slightly to He Yi.

"My lord. Liao Qianzhong said.

This is the first time he has said the word lord to He Yi, and before that, he only called him Mr.

And since he and Du Dao came under He Yi's command, He Yi has never taken the initiative to discuss things with him.

Liao Qianzhong thought that he could not be reused, but he didn't expect that not long after He Yi took the position of Taishou, he used a letter of appointment to directly promote him to the position of chief secretary, and his status was second only to Gongliangju, and even higher than Jia Shao, who had been following He Yi's side.

This couldn't help but make Liao Qianzhong feel flattered.

"Lord, Xia Guan has been doing business in Huyang for several years, and he still has some family business. Although it is not much, if you sell all your family property, you can get 50,000 taels of silver, and you can temporarily relieve the siege. Liao Qianzhong said in a sullen voice.

Before this, Liao Qianzhong was still a real businessman, relying on selling intelligence and hoarding land and shops, and he also made a lot of money.

As soon as these words came out, Liao Qianzhong regretted it a little.

Although it looks indifferent on the surface, it hurts really in the heart.

"Oh, why did you make such a decision?" He Yi looked at Liao Qianzhong with interest, but he didn't expect that a businessman would take the initiative to confiscate all his family property.

Liao Qianzhong smiled bitterly and said, "Since I have received the love of the lord, I will worship the lord." Huyang Xinding, I am also busy with official business, and I have no energy to take care of the family property anymore. Besides, since he has eaten the official position, he naturally can't do this kind of thing to compete with the people for profit. ”

"Food Guanlu, don't compete with the people for profit......" He Yi carefully understood these eight words, and after a while, he nodded and praised: "I underestimate you." Okay, okay! With your 50,000 taels of silver, Huyang City's urgent need will be temporarily solved. ”

In the past, He Yi only thought that Liao Qianzhong was a profit-seeking businessman, and he also took a fancy to his ability to explore intelligence.

But I never thought that the other party would have such a thorough understanding.

He Yi deeply felt Liao Qianzhong's sincerity, and his impression of him also changed greatly.

The crisis was solved, and the dust settled, so He Yi asked the officials to retreat first, but when he was leaving, he let Liao Qianzhong stay alone.

The reason why he is like this is because of an idea that he has been thinking about for a long time.

Originally, He Yi was still hesitant about the candidate, but after this matter, He Yi finally made up his mind and decided to hand over the matter to Liao Qianzhong to manage.

Moreover, because Liao Qianzhong is better at gathering intelligence than anyone else, he is indeed the best candidate for this matter......
