Widow Qing glanced at Lin Ze displeasedly, and warned in the tone of an elder: "Young man, things in this world cannot be solved by just fighting and killing. Don't think that you have some achievements in martial arts.
I think I am invincible, but since I am just starting out, I should humbly learn more from the seniors here."
"It should be noted that as a confidant of Young Master Hu Hai, your words and deeds will affect Young Master Hu Hai, so you should be cautious in your words and actions. From my perspective, if you persist in your stubbornness and do not change, I will probably write to His Majesty to expel you from Young Master Hu Hai.
Walk."
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Hu Hai immediately became unhappy. After driving Lin Ze away, who would be able to plan for me with peace of mind? This Aunt Qing must have too much control. I think killing a few rebels is really useless.
What's the problem?
Then he said: "Aunt Qing, my father has always hated the rebels. Once they appear, he has ordered to kill them all. I feel that what Lin Ze said is similar to my father's daily teachings!"
Widow Qing was speechless for a moment, and Bachiang quickly helped: "Master Qi, most of the Shu people are naturalized barbarians, so they should be comforted."
Hu Hai asked in confusion: "Why do I want to appease those barbarians?"
Ba Qiang said matter-of-factly: "If we don't appease those barbarians, they will cause chaos and destroy the stability of Shu. Once the stability of Shu is destroyed, it will be detrimental to the young master and our Great Qin Empire."
Hu Hai glanced at Bach Qiang with an idiotic look and said angrily: "Didn't Lin Ze tell you everything? Kill whoever makes trouble. Kill all those who make trouble, and peace will naturally follow."
Bachchan couldn't help but said: "But in this way, the taxes and corvettes from Shu will not be sent to Chang'an in time, and it will even be impossible to collect enough quantities. How will the young master explain to your majesty?"
Hu Hai looked confused, turned to Lin Ze and asked: "Lin Ze, do I need to explain this to my father? My father didn't say anything before I left."
Lin Ze thought for a while and said, "Young Master should ask Your Majesty about this matter. Maybe Young Master has forgotten it?" Although Lin Ze wanted to say something, since Emperor Qin didn't say anything, you can ignore it, but he thought about it.
Thinking that Emperor Qin couldn't afford to offend him for the time being, he said this fair thing.
Hu Hai shook his head and said: "I remember, my father seems to have said that if the Shu land is handed over to me, I will not care how I govern it within three years. Now that I think about it, this sentence should mean that within three years
, there won’t be any demands for taxes and corvee.”
Lin Ze quickly echoed: "That's probably what Your Majesty meant."
Ba Qiang, who was sitting with His Highness, immediately felt his heart sink. It seemed that the new Mr. Hu Hai was really not a good boy. He couldn't even restrain taxes and corvee. The Ba family had to think carefully about how to deal with it.
Widow Qing looked at Hu Hai and sighed slightly: "To be a king, you should be both benevolent and virtuous. Master Hu Hai, do you want to be that tyrannical lord who kills people like crazy?"
Before Hu Hai could speak, Lin Ze pretended to be furious and scolded: "Old madam, please be careful what you say. The young master's reputation cannot be slandered."
Widow Qing's face turned cold when she heard this, and she said angrily: "I am asking about Mr. Hu Hai. You are just a lowly person. You have no right to reply. Go away."
Lin Ze took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "As the saying goes, you are worried about the humiliation of your ministers, and you are concerned about the humiliation of your ministers and their death. If the old lady wants to randomly arrange the reputation of the young master, it is no wonder that I will fight to my death, and my blood will be splashed three feet."
After saying that, he took out something from his arms and got ready to go.
Widow Qing sneered: "It's just you..." Feeling a strong sense of threat, she took a closer look at what Lin Ze was holding and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Order of the Saint?"
What Lin Ze was holding was the attack secret treasure "Saint's Order" that he had originally selected from the Taoist Palace's treasury. This secret treasure was said to be equivalent to a master's strike when activated. Widow Qing was a knowledgeable person and recognized it on the spot.
come out.
Lin Ze held the "Saint's Order" in his hand and said with an indifferent expression: "The old lady is right, what the boy is holding is the Saint's Token. If the old lady intends to slander the young master again, don't blame the boy for trying."
If you don't want this life, you will be angry with the Ba family and your blood will be splashed three feet."
As the saying goes, those who are bold are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives. Lin Ze's second-rate performance finally made Widow Qing a little afraid. He said gently: "Young man, don't be impulsive. I don't want to slander Young Master Hu Hai."
, I just don’t want him to make mistakes. If he makes a mistake, just treat him as an old fool."
Then he stood up and said, "Young Master Hu Hai has just arrived here, and he holds an important position such as governor. I'm afraid I have too many things to do today, so I'll take my leave now. How about inviting the young master to a banquet at Ba's Mansion in the evening?"
Hu Hai turned to look at Lin Ze, as if asking for his opinion. Lin Ze could only remind him in a low voice: "Didn't the young master forget that he said before coming here that he wanted to entertain officials from Shu?" After speaking, he blinked.
Hu Hai immediately understood and said: "Yes, I have said this, I am afraid that I will not be able to attend Aunt Qing's dinner party."
Lin Ze further reminded: "Master, why don't you invite the old lady to the banquet with you?"
Hu Hai patted his forehead and said: "I originally invited everyone, but after seeing Aunt Qing, I was so excited that I forgot about it. I also asked Aunt Qing to come over to the banquet."
Lin Ze coughed lightly and said, "The old lady is so close to the young master that she will come over no matter what. Do you think so, old lady?"
Widow Qing looked at Lin Ze deeply, smiled slightly and said: "Of course I will go to the banquet on time. Please rest assured, sir. You are busy with affairs, so I will take my leave."
The heads of other aristocratic families and the heads of small sects in the hall echoed: "Young Master is busy with affairs, so I'll take my leave."
Lin Ze looked at it and sneered in his heart: "Are we going to advance and withdraw from the alliance together? Do you think this will make us unable to do anything to you?"
Hu Hai didn't take it seriously and said: "You can do it yourself. I will give Aunt Qing a ride." After saying that, he walked to the widow Qing and said: "Aunt Qing, please."
Widow Qing chuckled and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Hu Hai."
Afterwards, only a group of officials from the Qin government were left in the entire hall. After Hu Hai returned from sending people off, they readjusted their seats and saluted to Hu Hai: "I have met the governor."
Hu Hai waved his hand and replied: "No courtesy."
Lin Ze said from the side: "Everyone, please introduce yourselves to the Governor according to your rank."
The first person to speak was Chief Secretary Ba Xiong. Just by hearing his name, Lin Ze knew which family he was from.
Next came Fan Gang, the Shaoqing of the Military Affairs Department, Zheng Shu, the Shaoqing of the Sannong Department, and Tan Jie, the Shaoqing of the Warden Department.
After the introduction of the four people, Lin Ze had already sentenced the Shu officialdom to "death". The Governor's Mansion of Daqin Province was divided into the Government Affairs Department, the Military Affairs Department, the Sannong Department, and the Prison Department. Each department had a chief officer.
The official name is Shaoqing, the official rank is third grade, and there are several lieutenants, each performing their own duties.
In the Shu region, headed by the Ba family, there are also three powerful martial arts families, namely the Fan family, the Zheng family and the Tan family.
Now it is obvious that the officialdom of Shu is completely controlled by this group of aristocratic families. If these people are retained, will Lin Ze and Hu Hai be sidelined?
After the introduction of the last person, Chief Secretary Ba Xiong took the initiative and said: "May I ask, Lord Governor, how should the government affairs of Shu be handled in the future?"
Hu Hai replied: "From now on, the government affairs will be handed over to the right admiral Lin Ze. After he has seen it, he will hand it over to me. You should do your best."
All the officials responded in unison: "I respectfully obey the order of the Governor."
Tan Jie, the warden's young minister, immediately asked: "Your right admiral, what orders do you have?"
Lin Ze smiled slightly and said: "No for the time being, everything is as usual for everyone. After you have finished handling the daily affairs, you will submit the results and I will naturally take a look."
As he spoke, his smile suddenly disappeared, and Lin Ze said with a serious face: "I don't care how you worked in the past. Since Your Majesty has handed over the land of Shu to the governor, I hope that everyone can do your best. If you are slacking on official duties, I will
, I will never be lenient."
All the officials responded in unison: "Please rest assured, Admiral, I will definitely serve the public with all my heart and soul."
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Everyone, please go down first. I will familiarize myself with the Governor's official duties."
