It rained yesterday, and the air is very fresh today. When I walked out of the house, I felt a little cold. Standing in the yard playing five birds, and then hearing the cheerful calls of birds, the mood is too good.

After breakfast, the group hit the road again. Zao Zao put his arms around Yuxi's neck and said, "Mother, Daddy, I miss Daddy...... I haven't seen my father for a long time."

Yuxi touched the head of the jujube and said, "Good, I can see your father in a few days." "Count the time, Yunqing should have already set off. Yunqing rode relatively fast, and he could catch up with them in four or five days.

Zao Zao was unwilling, so he hugged Yuxi and called his father, making Liu Er cry too. The two children cried together, and the crying made Yuxi have a headache.

Quan Mama said: "The weather outside is good now, why don't you let Hongdou hug the big girl and walk outside!"

Yuxi was not worried about the red beans and called Xu Wu.

After Xu Wu knew what was going on, he said, "Madam, hand over the eldest girl to me!"

As a result, Zao Zao was reluctant to let Xu Wu hug him, and wanted to climb on horseback. Yuxi shook her head helplessly and said, "She wants to ride a horse, so you can take her on the horse!" Anyway, the weather is good now, and she walks slowly, so it doesn't matter if she sits on a horse.

As soon as he got on the horse, he burst into tears and laughed, and his elated appearance made Yuxi look very depressed. Can she become a lady when she grows up? Yuxi expressed concern.

In the afternoon of the next day, the group arrived at Linzhou City. Yuxi didn't live at the post station, and directly chartered the largest inn in Linzhou.

Less than two quarters of an hour after entering the inn, Yuxi received a letter from the wife of Yao Guangzhang, the prefect of Linzhou. Yuchen looked at the post and said with a smile: "The news is fast. "Five hundred elite soldiers will alarm the local officials wherever they go. However, it only took two quarters of an hour for the prefect's wife to hand over the post, which shows her ability to react.

Xu Wu said: "Madam, if you don't want to see it, you won't see it." "With Mrs. Madame's current status, no one dares to stop her from doing anything she wants in the northwest.

Yuxi put the post on the table and said, "Mrs. Yao is gone, please Yao Guangzhang come over! ”

Xu Wu looked suspicious and asked, "Madam, what are you doing when you see them?" It is understandable to meet the wives of these officials, but it is not quite right to meet these officials.

Yuxi said: "Learn about the details of Linzhou. ”

Xu Wu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Madam, this is not in accordance with the rules, right?" Xu Wu felt that Yuxi's hand was stretched too long. Government affairs, where can she interfere.

Yuxi said lightly, "The general doesn't think I'm not in line with the rules, who has any objections?" As long as Yunqing is willing to support him, others don't dare to speak out even if they have objections. At least, I didn't dare to mention it in front of her.

Xu Wu glanced up at Yuxi, saw that her expression was faint, and suppressed the doubts in his heart: "I'll let someone invite Governor Yao to come over." After a pause, Xu Wu said, "Madam, do you want to see Xu Zhen?" Xu Zhen is the head of the Linzhou Camp Guard, and he is also the soldier led by Yunqing. Xu Wu was still very familiar with him.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "No need." "She is in charge of government affairs, and she is not familiar with military affairs. I don't know if it's a random command, it's a trivial matter to make the people below unhappy, and the most afraid thing is to delay.

Yao Guangzhang knew that it was very strange for Yuxi to see him, but no matter how strange it was, he didn't dare not come. Yao Guangzhang walked into the house and gave Yu Xifu a salute: "I've seen Madame." "Yao Guangzhang is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is very stylish.

Scholars look down on women, and pay attention to whether men and women are intimate or not. Yuxi ordered to summon him, an outsider, and this behavior made Yao Guangzhang very disgusted. It's just that the shape is stronger than the human, and he doesn't dare not come. If you annoy this Han family, it is a trivial matter if the black gauze hat on your head is not guaranteed, and I am afraid that you will not be able to keep your head. Yunqing kills people like hemp, and now their life and death are controlled by Yunqing. If you want to annoy the Han clan and make Yun Qing unhappy, it will be a vain death to kill him in a fit of rage.

Yuxi sat at the top of the position, looked at Yao Guangzhang with a proud face, and said: "Guangzong was born in the second year, Guangzong was a jinshi in the thirty-fourth year, and Guangzong was sent to prison in the forty-fifth year for offending Ge Hongtao, a Xiangmen person, and then stripped off his reputation and sent back to his hometown. Now he has a wife, three concubines, four sons and five daughters. Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Yunqing has all the information of the newly appointed officials above the fifth grade in the northwest. Before leaving Yucheng, Yunqing also gave Yuxi a copy.

Not to mention Yao Guangzhang, even Xu Wu was very surprised.

Yao Guangzhang nodded and said, "What Madame said is right, I don't know why Madame summoned the officials over?"

Yuxi asked about the situation in Linzhou: "How many people are there in Lincheng now?" Yunqing was very busy during this time and was not familiar with this.

Yao Guangzhang said very unceremoniously: "Madam, I will write an excerpt for these things and hand them to the general for reading at that time." "It's ridiculous that a woman's family should meddle in government affairs.

Yuxi said lightly: "Telling the general is the same as telling me." "These men who have read books really don't take women seriously.

Yao Guangzhang straightened his waist and said stiffly: "Madam, this is embarrassing the official." ”

Yuxi knocked on the table and said indifferently: "It's not clear about such an ordinary thing, it can be seen that you, the prefect, are also a corpse vegetarian meal." In that case, choose someone who is up to the task. ”

Yao Guangzhang had a sudden burst in his heart.

Yuxi doesn't have that much patience, and she doesn't want to give any face to those who despise her: "Xu Wu, send him out!"

Yao Guangzhang was a little anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Madam, there are now a total of 139,865 people in Linzhou City. "Originally, there had to be at least 200,000 people to be considered a state, but the northwest has been in war for many years, and the population of every place has dropped sharply.

Yuxi's brows furrowed.

Yao Guangzhang hurriedly said: "Ten years ago, there were more than 398,000 people in Linzhou City. In the past few years of war, many people have died of starvation and death, so only these people remain. ”

Yuxi felt that there was a long way to go: "How much land has been cultivated in the spring ploughing this year?" Although Yuxi is going to send people to buy grain when he arrives in Ho City, it will be more secure if he can produce more grain in the northwest.

Yao Guangzhang was a lot more respectful when he heard this, and said: "I have cultivated 640,000 mu of land. "It's all on the record.

After saying this, Yao Guangzhang couldn't help but praise Yunqing: "Thanks to the decree issued by the general to benefit the people, let the government borrow grain for the people to cultivate." By the time the summer harvest comes, the granaries will definitely be full. It was also this decree that made Yao Guangzhang sincerely surrender.

Yuxi felt that Yao Guangzhang was too optimistic: "Then it depends on God's face." If the weather is good, the granary may be full of grain. However, if there is a drought, the stomach may not be full. ”

Yao Guangzhang didn't expect that Yuxi was so clear about farming.

Yuxi's taxation of agriculture has so far been limited to paper. However, Yuxi was not in a hurry, and took his time: "How much treasury silver does the government still have?" Of course, there was not much silver left.

This series of questions made Yao Guangzhang dare not take it lightly. Every question is carefully thought out before being answered.

After Yao Guangzhang left, Yuxi saw this general judgment again. This general judgment is surnamed Guo, and he is famous. The mother of the family is respected as a living bodhisattva by the people of Linzhou City, and has a very good reputation in Linzhou City.

This Guo Tong is not very tall, with small eyes, white and fat, like Maitreya Buddha, and he smiles without speaking. This kind of person is easy to make people feel good.

Yuxi said a few kind words, and then asked Guo Tongju a lot of questions, all of which were matters within his duties, such as grain transportation, water conservancy, law, etc. As a result, Guo Tongju couldn't answer a single question clearly, and he was hesitant.

In the past four months since he took office, even if he was not familiar with it, as long as he has the heart, he should have a clear understanding of government affairs in the past four months! Yuxi didn't want to waste time on this person, and said, "You go out!"

After Guo Tong left, Xu Wu was very surprised and asked, "How come Madame is still proficient in water conservancy and law?" These things may not be so clear to his own generals!

Yuxi said: "I'm not proficient, but I've read a few books." "There is a lot of theoretical knowledge and zero practical experience.

Xu Wuxin said that he was just reading a few books, and he had obviously studied it for a long time. Otherwise, Guo Tong would not have been speechless.

Next, Yuxi met Gao Tongzhi again.

Gao Tongzhi is also a talented person, and he was a seven-grade official before. But this man is a clever man, less than four months old, and is very familiar with the affairs under his jurisdiction. So Yuxi's question, he answered in great detail. And these are exactly what Yuxi needs.

By the time I finished talking to Gao Tongzhi, it was already dark. Mama Quan walked in, saw Yuxi looking like she was about to write, and hurriedly said, "Madam, eat first, and then be busy after eating." "As long as Yuxi gets busy, forget it. If you don't remind you, you forgot to eat.

After dinner, Yuxi looked for Xu Wu and said, "Is there a night market in Linzhou City at night?" If there is a night market, she wants to go out and have a look.

Unfortunately, there is no night market in Linzhou City.

Xu Wu said: "Madam, there is a night market in Lanzhou City. When I arrived in Lanzhou City, Mrs. could feel it well. "Lanzhou is the capital of Gansu, so there must be a night market.

Yuxi didn't respond to this, but said to Xu Wu: "Xu Zheng has been stationed in Linzhou City for more than four months, and he should be very familiar with the affairs of Linzhou City. Ask her, what special things have happened in Linzhou City in the past few months?" Xu Zheng is stationed here, firstly, to maintain the stability of the entire Linzhou place, and secondly, to monitor the magistrate.

Xu Wu was a little puzzled and asked, "What does Madam want to know?"

Yuxi thought about it for a moment and said, "With such a general judgment, do you think the litigation cases in Linzhou City will be fair and just?"

Xu Wu was surprised: "Madame also thinks that this Guo Tongju is not qualified for this position?" Tong Guò just now, Xu Wu thought that this person was completely a straw bag.

Yuxi nodded in agreement.

Xu Wu said intimately: "The situation at that time, there was no time to investigate these people in detail. Madam, I'll ask someone to check Governor Yao's Mansion and Gao Tongzhi and the others!"

Yuxi didn't blame Yunqing, he dealt with it very much in extraordinary times. However, when the situation stabilizes, these officials will be evaluated at that time, and those who are not qualified will be eliminated: "Hide it and don't let them know." ”R1148
