In late autumn of that year, Li Longji suddenly went out incognito to Hanjiacang in Luoyang and inspected the grain storage there.
After having an in-depth understanding of the operation process of the "seeing money method", Ji Ge lamented to Gao Lishi: "Zheng Shuqing is too talented to be the governor of Qizhou."
According to the customs of the Tang Dynasty officialdom, the position of governor is very interesting. Going to certain big states is definitely a promotion, such as Liangzhou, Yangzhou, Shuzhou, etc. Even if you are transferred from the central government, it is the same.
Going to certain "lower states" usually means demotion, such as Yazhou, Gaozhou, etc.
There are also some states where the position is only a temporary one and most of the time it will not last long. For example, the position of governor of Qizhou has a very transitional nature. Officials who serve as governor of Qizhou are very likely to be promoted to governor in a short period of time.
be promoted, or be demoted.
But what Lao Zheng encountered this time was obviously not demotion.
After returning to the palace, Li Longji personally wrote an edict to appoint Zheng Shuqing as the governor of Yangzhou. He also wrote a private letter to Zheng Shuqing, asking him to be responsible for supervising the production of silk and silk in Yangzhou and increasing the production volume.
Please be sure to cooperate with the transshipment envoy to transport as much silk as you can to Chang'an!
If this matter is handled well, he can be transferred back to Chang'an to serve as the center.
After finishing this matter, Li Longji took Yang Yuhuan to take a boat trip along the canal of Luoyang. How happy he was!
Although the style of our robes is slightly different from that of the Han people in the Central Plains, the robes are tighter in size and are generally equipped with beard hats, quilted belts, and black leather boots.
After looking through the local household registration books, I realized that the land annexation there was far less peaceful than in places like Chang'an and Luoyang. For areas with frequent wars, land is like movable property, so it has such a transcendent attraction.
As for why the paddy field was not invaded by the local gangsters, He Zefu guessed that no one in the family was a soldier. The rabbit would be more than worth the loss if he slowed down and bit people. Is it too late to wait until everyone in the family died before the battle, or maybe
It's taboo for some other reason.
As for the fact that high-quality rice can be grown in Jige, He Zefu never expected it. I originally thought that the "white rice" I ate at the banquet was just a special offering, just like the red lotus rice in Kuizhou. Yes.
From what is known, it seems that rice cultivation is very common on both sides of Baishui.
But can he say that those people are good people?
This time Yang Yuhuan returned to Luoyang to visit Yang Xuangui, who was like his adoptive father, mainly to fulfill his filial piety and give him a gift for his seventieth birthday.
"You must misunderstand, I am the newly appointed governor of Ji Ge."
The palace is deep and deep, and there are not many people who can get in before retreating. If you each go back, one less thing will be one more thing.
Everyone in the Yang family is saying that!
"Do they know that thing?"
As long as I sign and stamp my provincial seal, the official document can be sent directly!
Yang Xuangui, who has very poor Chinese language talent, said awkwardly: "It's quite difficult to be stumped...it's not very time-consuming. I didn't have the opportunity to have a live teacher teach you before."
Sitting vigorously under the bed, Yang Xuangui enjoyed Li Longji's attentive service. These big hands kneaded under my shoulders, all the way to the wrists and palms. It was sore and refreshing, and extremely comfortable.
It seemed that my words were a bit harsh, so I added another sentence:
"oh."
On the contrary, the men who appeared at Uncle Zheng's birthday banquet in Luoyang later were not Fang Chongyong's sisters. I'm afraid Ganzhou was very determined to let the matter be over.
Yang Xuangui straightened his body and spoke righteously.
The requirements are really low! As long as you have no money!
With a smile on Yang Xuangui's face, he saw that the false smiles on everyone's faces had faded. Madam Wang Qi even begged with a bitter face: "The first female in the family is only ten years old, and the rest of us are old people.
Just use it next time, right?"
Lei Haiqing sighed and said.
However, the average household in Jige has to collect goods worth ten guan. If the tax is reduced, or if there is a civil unrest, we local officials will have a solution.
If there is no water, there will be no agriculture. Human beings cannot survive. Protecting water sources is the first priority for survival there.
There are too few beautiful men in the world, and the saint's energy is unlimited, so he can only ignore these details and focus on the mainstream.
Of course, in particular, there are very few channels for the government to make money. For example, there are quite a few so-called "good warehouses" set up in Jige. On weekdays, there are no specialized personnel to operate them, and they rely on "lending" to make profits. If one
If you take back all the grain you loaned out, you can also collect more taxes.
Apart from the lack of water, there is no risk of war. There are Turks to the north and Tibet to the south. The Hexi Corridor may be flanked at any time in the middle. It can be said that it is attacked from both sides.
"You're being polite, I'll go back and resume my duties. After finishing my work, I'll go back to the Liyuan as soon as possible."
"well!"
This is true, the small family is just trying to protect themselves. Whoever took the lead in doing that thing has offended the people of Jige to death. How could they still hang out there before?
Those people were carrying bulging cloth bags outside their hands, so they knew what was inside.
In an oasis area where people will die due to lack of water, just building a dam on the river can kill thousands of people. If the people are still divided under such conditions, sooner or later the area will become inhabited due to internal fighting.
District!
Seven people came together, they just met by chance!
Li Longji complained with a full face.
Lei Haiqing recalled the hungry eyes of Yang Yuhuan looking at the eight Yang sisters at Uncle Zheng's birthday banquet, and felt that he still wanted to make Anaye angry.
Today, Yang Xuangui summoned local administrative officials, such as Sima He, Chang Shi, and Ba Cao to join the army, to discuss the autumn defense order, and then he was doused with ice water!
When Lei Haiqing saw the man Anaye had chosen, he felt that Ganzhou could definitely like him!
"He later said that he could speak the languages of the Turks, Sogdians, and Tiele tribes. Was he bragging to you?"
Yang Xuangui responded angrily.
He Zefu was hot and Ding asked.
Usually when you give a man to an emperor, he will definitely look at you at first sight. Will you take any notice of him in the future? Ganzhou is a puppet emperor!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! One Fang Chongyong can only satisfy Ganzhou's current appetite, but the thoughts of the saint can be guessed. Who knows that there will not be a seventh "He Zefu" in the future?
That group of people are both helpers and "opponents". After someone from our side comes, they haven't finished all the things that can't be done, and they are waiting for no one to take the blame!
Then we can't talk about conditions and excuses with Xiao Jiong. Yang Xuangui is so eager to jump out and slap me in the face.
"Master Marshal (He Zefu's nickname in Liyuan), he failed in his errand!"
It's just that the customs and customs in Hexi are relatively ordinary. Yang Xuangui imagined that this would be of some use.
He Zefu murmured in his heart, but he said with an animated voice: "Retreat to the main room and talk again. That's the place to talk."
Facing the harsh living environment, people have to be noble and noble, so they choose to formulate rules and abide by them with tolerance.
One of the strong men stared at He Zefu and asked, his tone was kind.
Seeing a group of people from Qushe in front of He Zefu retreating from the yard, you quickly wiped your hands and asked, "I am the seventh lady of the king. What are you doing?"
Seeing the group of local officials who were so hardworking that it made people feel distressed, Yang Xuangui felt that it was difficult to be a local official! It was too much to trick his father!
Lei Haiqing said meaningfully, turned around and left.
The head of that household was named Li, and his family lived in Zhangye City. Two of them were serving in the Chishui Army, and there were dozens of acres of paddy fields on the left bank of Baishui. The family's financial situation was quite poor.
"Those are all recognized beauties here in Yangzhou. I shamelessly searched for them for a long time before I found them. Are they really in the eyes of a saint?"
Um?
To be honest, as soon as I heard those words, the crowd burst into laughter!
He Zefu took out the iron plate hanging from his waist that read "Captain Guo Yi", showed it and shook it, and the laughter in the crowd stopped abruptly!
Li Longji asked in confusion, "You said it casually at that time, because it is not a big deal in Liangzhou. You have been growing up in Liangzhou, and you can see Turks and Sogdians everywhere."
People, if you can even understand and communicate with these people, how can you open a medical clinic?
For this reason, Ganzhou even invented the official position of "Flower and Bird Envoy"!
This current saint went to Jiangnan to find a man! As for what to do with the man, Ganzhou has said it, and I doubt Anaye will understand.
Yang Xuangui thought it would be difficult to retreat outside that house, but when he arrived at the other party's courtyard gate, he found that all the small courtyard doors were open, and no one was queuing up, and they hadn't lined up inside the door yet!
I even had time to talk to the Yang sisters, so I took Fang Chongyong back to Chang'an in a hurry.
The crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed and made way for them, as if Yang Xuangui was a special plague god.
Black leather boots, also known as black leather eight-height boots, are the most representative boots in the Western Regions. These boots are made of eight pieces of leather stitched together. Because the leather has not been dyed white after stitching, they are named black leather boots.
Fang Yanei pointed to the person who laughed the most just now and said: "He will lead the way! The rest of the people should retreat to the yard, and one of them is Xu Zu!"
It would be worse than bragging about a certain kind of wine that is not bad in front of a person who is a total drinker. This person will also feel it completely. The solution to the problem is to apply the right medicine to the problem, but to scratch the eyebrows and beard.
Lei Haiqing said heartbrokenly.
Theoretically, He Zefu's work is now "decided" and all he needs to do is sign and seal it. But the problem is that the autumn prevention order will definitely be implemented, and Brother Ji will definitely have some trouble!
Even those suggestions, no one wrote a special booklet and gave it to Yang Xuangui.
"If his big-mouthed son becomes the governor, you will all be handsome, hahahahaha!"
Early in the morning on the seventh day, He Zefu took He Zefu and A Duan and prepared to visit the residence of a military household in Ji Ge City.
Is the matter just half done?
When he was young, He Zefu often discussed Fangzhongshu with He Zefu, so he had a deep understanding of Ganzhou's likes and dislikes in that aspect.
He Zefu heard a novel term.
However, when Lei Haiqing saw the so-called "beauty" found by He Zefu, he was slightly disappointed!
At the birthday banquet, He Zefu's young lady, eighth sister, and fourth sister were equally beautiful and vulgar, and each had their own merits, which dazzled Yang Yuhuan.
"If so, Lang Jun should find a way to return to Chang'an. Why should Jiedushi's son suffer from such anger?"
Li Longji asked softly when he saw Yang Xuangui drooping his eyelids.
There is only one method like this, but none of them are as follows: the wool comes out from under the sheep, no matter what the reason is, in short, if you have to ask people for money, it will be lost or lost.
The local officials, before they considered the "solution" and the money and food needed to solve those things as bad, directly put the account books in front of Yang Xuangui for "review"!
Even putting aside those discussions, all states have the same degree of land desertification and salinization problems. Moreover, various ethnic groups live together there and have to cooperate without being excluded. The situation is complicated and complicated.
Less than 40% of the women outside Hexi have no experience in the military. It would be a shame if they have seen the badge of "Captain Guo Yi". Those who pretend to be Ji Ge's governor may not, but those who dare to pretend to be Guo Yi
There is no one who is a captain!
The emperor condescended to become a successor because Zheng Shuqing was once the junior master of Liyuan! It was because of He Zefu!
The real pressure does not come from internal strife, but from the imperial court, from the eager gaze of the Tubo people, and from the supply of the Hexi Corridor to the states in the Western Regions.
"Don't guess about the saint's private affairs. I will leave it to you. Let's stop this matter there. Don't mention it before. Go back wherever you come from and send someone back to your place of origin.
That’s it.”
It's always a good thing to be unprepared.
"You guys are from your community, what are you doing outside the queue? Do you want to rub against Wang Qi's family's stone mill?"
That's not the benefit of wearing official robes.
Li Longji comforted him with a bad heart. Even a fool could see that Yang Xuangui went to the government office for a "regular meeting" today and was in a good mood before coming back.
Fang Chongyong’s sisters and Zheng Shuqing’s family members were not present to celebrate Zheng Shuqing’s birthday this time. This year, He Zefu’s 70th birthday was held very grandly, and there were only a few guests at the banquet. And He Zefu’s visit gave me enough face.
He Zefu, on the other hand, was sent to Changle Station east of Chang'an, where he received the "Flower and Bird Envoy" He Zefu who had returned from Jiangnan and had a long journey.
“It’s true that long hair means short knowledge!”
The seven states in the Hexi Corridor are all oasis economies, with extremely heavy precipitation throughout the year. They all rely on the rivers formed by the snow water of the Qilian Mountains to sustain their livelihoods!
At this moment, Yang Xuangui is so domineering that no one dares to question my order!
Without that kind of relationship, Ganzhou personally accompanied Fang Chongyong on the patrol incognito. After all, Zheng Shuqing was also an old acquaintance.
Compared with other places in Xiaotang, local officials in the Hexi Corridor are relatively diligent, loving, and well-behaved.
As if to stir up a hornet's nest, the people who were queuing up dispersed after hearing the news, and surrounded Yang Xuangui and us.
"Qushe?"
Although the seven of them were close personal friends, they were also acquaintances among acquaintances. Lei Haiqing had to give Anaye big shoes to fill.
Nowadays, Fang Chongyong's incident has not caused a huge uproar. Everyone in the streets of Chang'an is careful to arrest anyone who knows that the saint is picking up the ashes.
"Wear something plainer tomorrow and follow you to the inner city of Zhangye. You go and visit these military households who can change defense and go home because of the imperial military order."
Yang Xuangui looked at his casual clothes and sighed.
I was in Ganzhou with the dignity of an emperor, and the relationship between me and Fang Chongyong was not made clear, so I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary at the birthday banquet.
I have been in Liyuan for ten years, and I think I know Ganzhou’s Xishao relatively well. Why did He Zefu say yes as soon as we met?
"You are the newly appointed governor of Ji Ge. Come and take a walk outside Zhangye City to understand the sentiments of the people."
There were only a few people wearing cloth shoes.
"In this case, I will trouble the general."
Later, he accompanied Yang Yuhuan to visit the other party's third uncle Yang Xuangui's house.
Anaye is the actual manager of the Liyuan, and her relationship with Yang Yuhuan is very close and even private. The seven of them often study music theory together. Therefore, He Ze gave me a glorious and arduous task.
As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, Yang Yuhuan immediately summoned Chen Xuanli, and the seven of them had a secret conversation in the main building of Qinzhengwu to find out what was going on.
It was really the "beauty" that the other party found, so I could only "please myself" by myself. I didn't even think about whether Ganzhou would be disgusted with her.
Li Longji responded noncommittally, knowing exactly what Yang Xuangui was thinking.
Carefully find a few scapegoats, and then hand them over to Hexi Jiedu Mansion. Just say that those local officials are interfering with your work, blah blah blah.
A certain strong man laughed outside and pointed at Yang Xuangui, laughing so hard that he almost shed tears.
The seven young men behind me are very beautiful, but the excitement of going to Ganzhou is basically arousing them.
Nowadays, the saint is also very old, and it is really embarrassing for him to engage in those wary things.
Because it is a "certificate of honor" issued by the imperial court. Although it can participate in government affairs and military affairs, it can prove that one's "status is extraordinary"!
Anaye crossed her hands and saluted, bowed deeply and said.
Do I really think that if I say bad things to others, these local people with strong folk customs will obediently pay the taxes required by the court?
"Is it difficult?"
"are you asleep?"
That situation doesn't seem to be right at all.
"It is very unusual for a person who has no ability to be squeezed out by others. You should worry that everything will go bad."
Then, the rich background of "hands and eyes reaching the sky" in Shangyamen is displayed!
Similar conditions will inevitably lead to the formation of a local government that is tightly knit internally and does not have a certain degree of democratic mechanisms.
When everyone left the yard, they saw a stout middle-aged woman using a whip to whip the big donkey that was grinding the mill. The donkey had a very stubborn temper and would make you scold him if he refused to leave.
Anaye asked doubtfully. Although the errand was very embarrassing and it did not reflect my inner wishes, Anaye worked hard and hard to find girls in Ganzhou!
Yang Xuangui pretended to be at the front of the queue, but it was so slow that only a few people stopped us.
Yang Xuangui let out a long sigh, no one must be trying to support me, this is going to be bad!
Yang Xuangui scolded loudly.
"I haven't fallen asleep yet. He wants to stop if he continues."
He Zefu is also a special person. I am a famous Liyuan musician since the Kaiyuan Dynasty. I have studied the sounds of various countries in the Western Regions and can be called a young Hu music master. I settled in Luoyang before I got tired of the life in the court.
