Chapter 366

;

Yuxi lifted the curtain of the car, looked up at the majestic and tall city wall, and her eyes fell on the two large characters on the wall: "Lanzhou... so fast." After walking for more than a month, she finally arrived in Lanzhou City, and after walking for another month, You will be able to go to the pickaxe city.

Xu Wu saw a group of people coming out of the gate, and he knew the leader: "Madam, Tan Tuo has brought someone to welcome Madam." Tan Tuo had already got the news that Yuxi had come from Yucheng. These days, he arranged for someone to be on the road, and he got the news yesterday, and calculated the time when Yuchen would arrive in Lanzhou.

Tan Tuo brought out all the top officials in Lanzhou City to welcome Yuxi. Except for Tan Tuo, everyone else was stopped by the guards. Tan Tuo said respectfully to Yuxi who was in the carriage: "Madam, I have already arranged a yard for Madam, I beg Madam to move." Yuxi's current status is different from before. There are more than ten thousand people under one person, and more importantly, his future future is all tied to Yuxi.

Yuxi was going to rest in Lanzhou for a few days, and after driving for half a month, the two children had to have a good rest. Yu Xi said lightly: "You lead the way!" She doesn't look at people, but only listens to voices, which makes people feel that Yu Xi has a cold temper. Of course, no matter how cold the officials in Lanzhou City were, no one showed any disrespect. The prefect of Linzhou was dismissed by the general because of his disrespect to the Han family. They didn't want to repeat Yao Guangzhang's mistakes and lose their hats because of such a trivial matter.

After entering Lanzhou City, Zao Zao didn't want to stay in the carriage anymore, and always wanted to climb up the window to look outside. Yuxi had no choice but to open the window of the carriage so that Zaozao could see enough. But the street has obviously been cleaned up by Tan Tuo at this time, and there is no pedestrian outside at this time.

Today is different from the past, and Yuxi's status is completely different from before. In terms of safety, Tan Tuo naturally has to be cautious.

Tan Tuo arranged for Yuxi to live in the house of the former governor of Gansu Province. This house is very big, with six courtyards with three entrances, enough to accommodate their group.

The main courtyard had been cleaned and recuperated long ago, and Yuxi moved in directly. After settling Zao Zao and Liu Er, Yu Xi changed her clothes before going to see Tan Tuo. But I haven't seen her for four months, and Yuxi thinks that Tan Tuo will be much more energetic than before.

When Tan Tuo entered the room, he deliberately looked up at Yu Xi. Seeing Yuxi wearing a water red spring shirt, her skin was like snow, her face was pink and her lips were red, her complexion was excellent. Tan Tuo felt a little uneasy when he saw Yuxi like this, but he knew very well that Yuxi almost died at the end of last year due to dystocia, and now that he has been on the road for more than a month, it is abnormal to look so good.

At this moment, Tan Tuo didn't bother to avoid taboos, and said, "Madam, I brought Dr. Tang here, I wonder if Madam and Miss are useful?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "If you are interested, let him go and show Zaozao and Liu'er!" Zaozao is full of energy and doesn't need to see a doctor. However, Liu'er has been a little sleepy for the past two days, which makes Yuxi a little worried. Asking the doctor to look at it can also make him feel relieved.

Tan Tuo naturally had no objection.

Yuxi asked: "During this time, are you still used to it?" From the magistrate to the governor, this is a three-step jump! Ordinary people can't bear it.

Tan Tuo bent half of Yuxi's waist and said, "Thank you Madam for your kindness. I was a little uncomfortable at first, but now I'm getting used to it."

Yuxi nodded and said, "Tell me about the biggest problem that exists right now?" Needless to say, the good ones, she heard and saw them all along the way.

Tan Tuo said: "Madam, the biggest problem at the moment is that the bank is empty, and there are too few talents that need to be used." There is no money and no one, and everything is tied. Fortunately, the promoted people are very capable, and no one complains about many things. It's not that Tan Tuo is called poor, but that there is really no money in the local area. Although Qing looted a lot of money from Chaos Rebirth King's Landing Other World 23488, he didn't leave the money to the local government. He transported it to Pickaxe City. Lanzhou City can maintain stability and good seeds can be sown in time, half of the credit is due to Tan Tuo.

Qing came from the family of a military general, and he has been in the army all year round with soldiers.

Therefore, he has always been worried about the distressed days of the soldiers and the deaths of the soldiers on the battlefield without sophisticated weapons. So when Qing had money, the first thing he thought of was to replace the soldiers with equipment and issue pensions.

It was precisely because Yuxi understood Qing's mentality that she did not strongly refute Qing's actions, but only put forward some pertinent opinions. Yuxi thought for a while and said: "The 120,000 taels of gold I got from Linzhou City a few days ago, I will use this money for you!" It's enough for several months.

Tan Tuo was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, madam." There are many places in Gansu that need money, but the money must be asked from Yuan Ying now. In Yuan Ying's eyes, most of the officials are corrupt officials. Every time Tan Tuo asks him for money, he always makes things difficult with cynicism. In the end, even if he gives it, he has to give a big discount on the original basis, which makes Tan Tuo miserable. Word. It was because Tan Tuo was dedicated to serving the people, and he knew that Yuan Yingzhang was only temporarily handling government affairs on his behalf, otherwise he would have been unable to handle it.

Yu Xi said: "I used to hear from my elder brother that the government officials were corrupt, that the officials in the court only knew about forming cliques for personal gain, and that the officials on the ground were corrupt and accepting bribes. Tan Tuo, I don't want this kind of thing to happen in the Northwest."

Tan Tuo said calmly: "Madam, I can't guarantee it for others, but I, Tan Tuo, would never do such a thing." If he had such thoughts, he wouldn't have no money left and live on his salary.

Yuxi believed in Tan Tuo, and what she said just now was to beat him up: "Northwest wastes everything and waits for new ones, so every penny has to be spent wisely, you know?"

Tan Tuo said: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely use every cent of the money well." Few people know about the fact that Yuxi collected 120,000 taels of gold in Linzhou.

After a pause, Tan Tuo said, "Madam, I have an idea. There are too many people in the officialdom, so we should streamline and reduce expenses."

Yuxi is very interested in this, and now that the finances are tight, it is necessary to increase income and reduce expenditure. For the time being, Yuxi hasn't thought of a good way to open source, but saving money is a must. Yuxi asked: "Why do you have this idea, tell me carefully."

Tan Tuo also weighed in his heart for a long time before saying: "Ma'am, there is no need for governors and ministers in Shaanxi and Gansu. It is enough to set up a magistrate in Lanzhou City. In the future, several states in Gansu can be controlled by people from Haocheng." Officials took over directly."

Yuxi was silent for a moment, and said: "I will consider this matter." Whether to remove the governor and chief envoy of Gansu, etc., this matter has to be discussed with Qing.

Tan Tuo didn't show any disappointment, what he said was not a trivial matter, if Yuxi agreed to him on the spot, he would be worried. Tan Tuo said: "Ma'am, I heard that pickaxe city is still recruiting soldiers. Now there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses. I am worried that the taxes in the northwest will not be able to support so many soldiers. Moreover, the strong labor force They are all going to be soldiers, and there will be fewer people who open up wasteland and farm land." Tan Tuo means that conscription is no longer possible, and conscription will be a great burden on the common people, which is not conducive to long-term development

Yuxi shook her head and said: "Conscription is a must. If there are not enough troops from the imperial court to attack at that time, we will be unstoppable." Now that there is no war, naturally we must hurry up to recruit troops for training, or else wait If you start a war and then recruit troops, you will suffer a big loss.

Tan Tuo was very worried and said: "Madam, there is not enough strong labor force, not only the agriculture cannot develop, but also the population cannot increase." stand up.

Yuxi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will solve it." Yuxi had thought about this problem before. Many places in the northwest were barren, and it happened to be able to farm wantonly to supply these troops. But this matter has to be discussed with Qing, so Yuxi didn't tell Tan Tuo for the time being.

Tan Tuo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madam knows well, so I am at ease." It is really easy to talk to Madam, she understands no matter what she says. Unlike Qing Qing and Yuan Ying, when talking about these government affairs, he had to explain for a long time. As the explainer, he didn't complain, but the listener was impatient. Once Yuan Ying got annoyed and said he was babbling. Cough, it's all tears!

Yuxi didn't know the entanglement in Tan Tuo's heart, and told Tan Tuo one thing: "There are many prisoners in every place. I think it's better to let them eat and drink than keep these prisoners in the prison for them to eat and drink." To open up wasteland. Do you think my idea is feasible?"

Tan Tuo was pleasantly surprised, and said: "Ma'am, this idea is very good. There are tens of thousands of people locked in prisons in the entire Northwest. A lot of land can be reclaimed in a year, and a lot of income can also be increased!" The fields that come out belong to the public.

There was a smile on the corner of Yuxi's mouth, and she said, "You think it's good too? Then I'll tell the general when I get to Pick City." The last time the husband and wife met was only half a day, and they were too hasty, so they didn't have time to talk about many things.

Speaking of the prisoner, Tan Tuo thought of Xu Chong, and said, "Ma'am, Xu Chong has already been beheaded for public display." The impact of the behavior of running away during wartime was particularly bad, and when Qing knew about it, he directly ordered to kill him.

Yuxi felt that people like Xu Chong deserved to die: "Xinping City was not in chaos at the time, thanks to Fu Minglang. What do you think of this person? Can he be used?" Because of her scruples, Yuxi was still hesitant about using Fu Minglang.

Tan Tuo hesitated for a long time and said: "Fu Minglang is capable, he is also a practical person, and his heart is very righteous, but his family is in Fengtian." Fu Minglang is different from him, his parents are dead, and he has no brothers Sisters, only wives and children, and wives and children are with him. It is also because he has no worries that he can follow with all his heart. But Fu Minglang's family members are all under the control of the court. In case people from the imperial court threatened him with his family and Fu Minglang compromised to serve the imperial court, if Fu Minglang was reused, there would be endless troubles.

Yuxi had no choice but to let go of this thought, and said with a smile: "The 120,000 taels of gold I gave you was obtained from the Zhou family, the richest man in Linzhou. There are still seven children in their family, so please settle them properly!" People's money, naturally have to keep their word. It's just that Yuxi didn't intend to take them with her all the time. Zhou's family was broken by Qing, who knows if these children will harbor hatred.

Tan Tuo couldn't help laughing, and said, "I will definitely arrange those children properly." It's a trivial matter to arrange a few children. r8 For convenience next time, don't forget to bookmark this site!
