This is an ancient Chinese land, a famous city in Longshang, and a hometown of culture. It is located in a plateau and ravine, with both plains and rivers, and luxuriant water and grass. Although spring has arrived, the climate is still cold, but it is not as severe as winter.
In addition to the various squads of officers, there are also dozens of soldiers with bright military armor who are on duty in the state government office. These people are all family generals who came to take office from Tokyo with the assassin Li Ye.
, used as guards, well-equipped with weapons and equipment, all specially approved by the emperor.
Since Yuanzhou was located in a remote border area and was surrounded by Han and Rong groups, it was difficult to ensure safety. Therefore, a batch of armored soldiers were used to protect Yuanzhou, in order to reassure the Queen Mother. Of course, Shi Kuangyi had been in charge of Jingyuan for many years, and Li Ye took office, so safety could be guaranteed. Shi Kuangyi was transferred to Beijing.
Later, there was Xiang Xun, who coordinated the border defense, and now it is Bohai County Duke Wang Jing who is in charge of Longzhou and also takes care of Jingyuan.
In the back office, there is a small martial arts training ground. At this time, two strong men with tall stature and fierce temperament are intertwined in it, fists and feet facing each other, and they are fighting hard.
Beside, Li Ye was leaning on the mat, basking in the spring sun, casually admiring the martial arts competition. It seemed that the roast mutton on the small table attracted him more. He held a shiny dagger in his hand, cutting and roasting it.
Stuff the browned meat into your mouth piece by piece.
With his mouth full of oil, he said to the steward waiting beside him: "I put too much salt today!"
"The little one will go and inform the cook later and tell him to be careful!"
"Hmph! Do you know how expensive salt is in this world?" Li Yedi glanced at the steward, his eyes looking cold and sharp.
"The little ones will be punished severely!" Hearing this, the steward immediately said.
"That's all!" Li Ye waved his greasy hands.
He tilted his head and gestured to a beautiful concubine sitting next to him. The beauty immediately picked up a handkerchief, wiped his mouth, poured warm wine and brought it to his mouth.
He took a swig, then another sip, rinsed his mouth, and spit into the spittoon. Li Ye showed a cheerful expression. He glanced at the judge of Yuanzhou, who was standing respectfully like a slave, and said: "Why did you stop? Continue talking.
!”
The judge was holding an album in his hand, but he was reporting to Li Ye on the government affairs of Yuanzhou. However, the uncle of the state was not focused and liked to be distracted, so he would interrupt him at any time.
"Your Majesty, spring plowing is approaching, and we have sent five Yameni Prefecture officials to the counties and towns to inspect the acres of land, grain seeds, and cattle to prepare for the farming season! According to the reports from the counties, if there is more cultivation this year, the number of acres of land in the prefecture will be
You can add another five hundred hectares!" the judge reported.
After hearing the report, Li Ye clicked his tongue and said immediately: "What to do with so many acres of land here is unsafe and wastes water and grass. Just enough to eat! Issue a decree to prohibit the people in the state from reclaiming wasteland.
Land. If you have the energy to raise cattle, sheep, horses, and camels, and trade them, you will gain more than just holding on to that little land!"
"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be contrary to the imperial policy to prohibit the people from cultivating the land? Furthermore, the southwestern states are all in need of military garrison. How can we go in the opposite direction?" The judge flashed a flash of hesitation and admonished.
Li Ye glanced at him sideways and said: "I know the imperial court's policies better than you. What the imperial court wants is to develop reclamation, restore people's livelihood, and accumulate grain. As for the military settlement, what does it have to do with me? That is between Wang Jing and Xiang Xun.
It’s something! Listen to me, you will draft an official document later, circulate it, and let the officials publicize it to me. If there are officials who declare neglect, they will be severely punished; if there are people who disobey the government orders, they will be severely punished!"
Seeing that Li Ye was determined, the judge had no choice but to respond.
"Your Majesty——"

As soon as his voice started to rise, he heard Li Ye interrupt him with a loud shout of "Okay", with an excited expression on his face. Following his gaze, he saw that the two people competing in the martial arts field had a winner. And it was
, the person at a disadvantage suddenly counterattacked and knocked down his opponent.
"Okay! Very good!" Li Ye said excitedly: "Reward!"
"Thank you, Lord Envoy!" The man who won the victory bowed and thanked him. Although he won, his face was still bruised and swollen, he was sweating profusely, and his skin exposed to the air was trembling, which was obviously painful.
After waving his hand, Li Ye said again: "Substitute!"
Those who fell to the ground were quickly carried down for treatment, and two more warriors stood beside them, saluted Li Ye, and then started fighting, punching to the flesh, fighting hard to entertain the noble relatives.
Li Ye withdrew his gaze and looked at the judge: "What do you want to say? Continue!"
"Yes!" The judge bowed slightly, keeping his mind calm, and said: "The five hundred stones of military rations supplied to Longzhou this month have been shipped out of the warehouse and loaded into trucks. The laborers have been recruited and can be sent to Longzhou only after the order is given.
Longzhou, the envoy still needs to issue the Jun Order!"
"Bring it here!" Li Ye said immediately.
The judge came forward, but Li Ye's hands were all greasy and he was a little embarrassed and couldn't take it. Li Ye looked indifferent and ordered: "Sign it for me, and then put the seal on it!"
After completing this procedure, Li Ye took a few glances and saw that there was no problem, so he ordered: "Notify the state army and ask them to send someone to escort it!"
"yes!"
"Continue!" Li Ye said again, but lowered his head and directly picked up the leg of lamb to chew on.
"An official document was sent from Longzhou, saying that the special envoy of the imperial court, Zhao Kuangyin, the Marquis of Yu and the governor of the palace, was ordered by the emperor to patrol the border and come to Yuanzhou to restore the horse administration and inspect the water and soil. Let the state government be ready to receive you!" the judge reported.
road.
"You see!" Li Ye got excited and said, "The imperial court wants to resume horse administration, which shows my foresight in advocating animal husbandry!"
"You are wise!" the judge immediately complimented.
Li Ye was also happy, smiled, frowned slightly, and said: "But who is Zhao Kuangyin? Is he worthy of me greeting him? I don't care about him!"
Seeing that Li Ye was "ill" again and wanted to pretend to be a noble relative of the emperor, the judge could only persuade him with a humble smile: "Your Majesty, after all, General Zhao is a general of the imperial army. This time he has the mission of the emperor to welcome the emperor."
It is also appropriate to welcome..."
After hearing the advice, Li Ye thought about it for a moment, and then said with a bit of reluctance, "When he comes, you can greet him on my behalf, that's all!"
"Yes!" There was a hint of bitterness, and the judge knew that this was Li Guojiu's concession.
"By the way, how was the previous household registration check?" Owner Li asked, looking a little surprised.
The judge, who was an official, knew what he was doing and immediately reported: "Based on the numbers that have been reported so far, there should be about 7,000 households within the prefecture's jurisdiction, which is not far behind. Compared with the envoy, it has increased by nearly one.
Success, this is all the result of the king’s governance and the care of the people!”
Li Ye's expression was not very happy: "Why are there still so few people!"
"Yuanzhou is a border area after all, and there are always worries of war!" the judge said.
Li Ye ignored him and took a few bites of the leg of lamb. He seemed full and lost his appetite. While wiping his hands and thinking about it, he couldn't help but murmured: "It's a pity that the best soldiers were selected by Xiang Xun."
, the army should not move arbitrarily. Otherwise, wouldn't it be nice to capture some miscellaneous prisoners, increase the population, and raise horses for me?"
After hearing what he said, the judge's expression suddenly changed. As he said, fortunately the military power was taken away by the court. Otherwise, with no one from above to suppress him, the judge believed that Uncle Li Guo would definitely be able to do it.
A burst of soft laughter came, interrupting the judge's thoughts. Li Guojiu was right in front of him, teasing his concubine, and placed his hand generously on the plump part.
While rubbing it, he still tilted his head and asked, "Do you have anything else? If nothing else, just step back!"
Of course the judge wanted to leave quickly, but he still had the patience to report the last message: "Soldiers from Kaiyuan Checkpoint have captured several private salt dealers and have handed them over to the government and taken them to Linjing!"
Li Ye frowned, his expression became more serious, and he said coldly: "There are so many people who are not afraid of death! After they are taken into custody, I will interrogate them personally! Please step back!"
"Your Majesty, please retire!" The judge couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and quickly retreated.
Uncle Li Guo, on the other hand, continued to watch the martial arts competition, drink wine, play with beauties, and feel happy and uncomfortable. In the martial arts arena, two more people changed.
However, judging from his performance, he is not entirely a faint-hearted official who indulges in pleasure. At least, under his governance, Yuanzhou's government has not been in chaos and the people are in peace. It has exceeded Liu Chengyou's expectations of him...
