Chapter 185: There are assassins
Pengcheng is a standard square city, the spirit is grand, the terrain is more unique, there is Jiuqu River water in front of it, there are thousands of high mountains in the back, on the left is an endless mountain forest, you can put down a million male soldiers, on the right is the wilderness of a horse and a flat river, can be cultivated and pastured, rich in products, such a place, not to mention when a state is governed, is more than enough to be the capital of a country!
The city is boxy, but Xiao Yi's 'State Pastoral Mansion' is located a little west of the central axis, no way, the central location is the dragon vein, the palace of Western Chu was built on it in the past, and it is too politically sensitive, Xiao Yi doesn't want to make trouble for himself, what if someone says that he 'plots against him, intending to establish himself as the king'?
Therefore, the location of the west is the most suitable, in feng shui, the west is the 'white tiger', the main killing, the spirit of Jin Rui, the most suitable for the general to live, the middle position can naturally not be empty, since people can not live, then let the gods and demons live well, Xiao Yi let people build a 'Chiyou Temple' there, and also cast a bronze giant tripod, used to worship the ancient god of war, the incense is very strong every day!
There are hundreds of large and small houses in the mansion, all of which are red tiles and blue bricks, terrazzo paving, which looks high-end and atmospheric, divided into three courtyards before and after, the front is the place to deal with government affairs, the middle is the political hall, and the two sides are the office yamen of officials at all levels.
The courtyard on the middle floor is where Xiao Yi rests, in addition to a comfortable bedroom, there are also clean stables, a wide martial arts training ground, with arrow targets and stone locks, Xiaobin and Cao Xing also live here with hundreds ......of personal soldiers, responsible for guarding!
The last floor is the inner house, Yan's, Diao Chan, Lu Ling'er, Xiao Jing, and other female dependents all live in it, and the one responsible for guarding is the 'women's army', men are all forbidden to enter, even if Xiao Yi himself, when he arrives at the door of the inner house, he will obediently stop, and let those little Loli go in to pass the gift, and never take a step beyond the thunder pool!
In fact, there is also a female dependant in the house, that is, Zhen Mi, this 'fifth son' also followed to Pengcheng, but did not go to the back house, but in the name of facilitating 'discussing official business', he lived in Xiao Yi's bedroom ...... grandiose, in the room next to it, by the way, the two houses are open, and there is not even a door in the middle, even if it is to avoid suspicion, in fact, even a kitten can't stop it, not to mention that it is only a fishy 'gluttonous old cat!' ’
This is not unusual, when the general trend is today, the lord of the Central Plains is not Yuan Jicao', although the Zhen family has taken refuge in Yuan Shao, but who dares to guarantee that the world will not be surnamed 'Cao' in the future?
For those gate valves, the safest way is to disperse speculation, don't put your eggs in a basket, as long as there is a relationship, you must catch it, and now your own girl has climbed the big tree of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', so she naturally has to hug it!
So after learning about Zhen Mi's situation, the head of the Zhen family, that is, Zhen Mi's uncle, specially came to a letter, asking her to take care of Xuzhou's business with peace of mind, and she didn't have to go back to Hebei in the short term.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The administrative office has been moved, the mansion has been built, and the ban has been lifted, and the people of the entire Xuzhou are waiting to see their state pastor show his strength, be diligent and love the people, and be a good official who works hard and complains, and it is better to be so tired that he spits blood, and is still shouting, "Don't care about me, take care of the people first!" ”
It's a pity that this expectation is destined to be disappointed, and after a period of time, the officials and people of Xuzhou were surprised to find that they ushered in a state pastor who has nothing to do with the word "diligent government", on the contrary, he is also lazy and surprisingly lazy!
Xiao Yi has never been a hard-working person, and sleeping lazy is his favorite, but there are countless things to deal with up and down Xuzhou, what should I do?
It's simple, if you're too lazy to do it yourself, let someone else do it, as long as you can choose the right person!
Xuzhou tour of the three major government affairs, sea salt, taxes, criminal names!
The matter of purifying sea salt was handed over to those scholars, so every day, a large amount of pure white refined salt was produced, which was not only enough for the people of Xuzhou to eat, but also sent to Xuchang in large quantities, and sold to the rest of the states, occupying the salt market in one fell swoop, and earning back a lot of money and materials, relying on this industry alone, it fed countless people along the coast!
In addition, the new 'salt drying method' is also being trialed, the gate valves have built a large salt drying field by the sea, just wait for the weather to be a little hotter, and then lead the sea water to dry salt, at that time, you can unceremoniously say, "the world's refined salt, out of Xuzhou!" ”
The matter of levying taxes was handed over to Chen Qun, his family is the 'first gate valve in Xuzhou', as long as he does not take the lead in tax evasion, no one dares to find uncomfortable, what nail households, all can be settled, so Xuzhou's financial problems have been quickly improved, raising troops and preparing for war, more than enough!
There is also a large amount of balance handed over to the treasury every month, so it has been repeatedly ordered and rewarded by Cao Cao, and the war in troubled times is money and food, as for the 'Shangshu Ling' Xun Yu, who is responsible for the country's financial expenditure, he is even more happy to find the north, and specially sent someone to send Xiao Yi a piece of bacon to show his gratitude!
People's livelihood is also a major matter, especially all kinds of criminal cases and civil disputes, which can blow up people's heads, so Xiao Yi directly sacrificed his magic weapon~~ Chen Gong!
Upright, smart, not only has a strong sense of justice, but also works hard, and cares most about the people's suffering, such a character, if you don't manage the judiciary, it is a waste, so Xiao Yi sees it very accurately, Chen Gong does a great job, large and small cases, never piles up, and law enforcement is like a mountain, dealing with justice, never afraid of offending people, and soon spread the title of 'Chen Qingtian' among the people of Xuzhou!
In this way, Xiao Yi is still very lazy, but the life of the people of Xuzhou is getting better and better, everyone has work, clothes to wear, and full food, smart children can also go to the government-run academy to study, brave children can enlist in the army and strive for military merits, and the elderly over sixty years old can receive a certain amount of food, wine and meat every month, everyone is very happy, and they don't care too much about whether the state pastor is diligent or not, in fact, there is nothing bad about being lazy, at least he doesn't toss the people!
As for Xiao Yi, every day is to drink a little wine, sleep lazily, teach those loli to practice martial arts during the day, and study with Zhen Mi at night 'how human beings are born', the life is very comfortable, by the way, he still has an important job~~ Walking horses!
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and 'Uncle Cabbage' is starting to shed its hair, which requires a lot of sweating to take off the original winter hair, so it has to go out and run a few laps every day!
The problem is that it doesn't like to run alone, starting from the small Taoist temple, everyone runs together by the river, so every day as soon as the sun comes out, 'Uncle Cabbage' will come out of his special stable, through the hall, straight into the bedroom, neighing and pulling Xiao Yi up from the bed, I really don't know how it crossed those steps, it stands to reason that horses will not go up the steps, smart people are about to become demons!
The brother was going to run, Xiao Yi had to accompany him, for the convenience of hair removal, and he didn't need any saddle, he jumped on the horse, went out of the house, went straight to the river outside the city, and began to run wildly, until the blood flowed and ran sweat~~
When the 'Uncle Cabbage' runs comfortably, he has to go to the river to take a bath, Xiao Yi is naturally the 'bath worker', and finally the result of being busy, 'Cabbage' is refreshed and clean, but Xiao Yi is so tired that he doesn't say sweat, and he is stained with a lot of horse hair, I really don't know if it's a person walking a horse, or a horse walking a person!
After brushing, "cabbage" happily ran back to the mansion, to find the "pear blossom snow", this time Xiao Jing came to Xuzhou, it also rode, the turn of spring and summer, it is the season of sweat and blood horse estrus, if it goes well, there will be "cabbage seeds" born next year!
As for Xiao Yi, he had to walk back to the house by himself, there was no way, his body was too dirty, and he was refused to be carried by 'Uncle Cabbage'.
"No righteousness, no righteousness, there is the opposite sex, no brothers!"
In the face of the 'betrayal' of his good brother, Xiao Yi has no other way except to complain a few words, 'cabbage' is more than six years old, his body is mature, he is a young horse, and it is time to drive his duties and breed offspring, I hope to have a few more 'cabbage seeds', when the time comes, the children of the Xiao family will have one horse, and when the war is fought, even if they can't win, they can run away with the horse!
It took half an hour to sneak back, Xiao Yi just crossed the threshold with one foot, and from under the stone lion next to the mansion gate, a figure suddenly appeared, extremely fast, crying and rushing straight to Xiao Yi's legs and hugged him......
"Oh no, there are assassins!"
