As soon as she saw Yuwenrong, Du Shiyi noticed that there seemed to be an indescribable stiff atmosphere in this huge room, and after thinking about it quickly, she stepped forward and saluted with a face full of surprise: "When did Yuwen Zhongcheng arrive in Chengdu?" Forgive me for not knowing the news that Zhongcheng was coming after I first arrived, I went to various villages and towns to investigate the people's situation."

Yu Wenrong was originally annoyed that Du Shiyi had avoided it when he arrived in Chengdu, but at this moment, seeing Du Shiyi bluntly say that he didn't know, his heart suddenly moved, so he glanced at the Chengdu County officials with different faces with smiling eyes, and then said to Yan Yue: "You just came here and went to the next micro-service for a private visit, you didn't care about me, this is understandable, but I want to come to Bashu to inspect, it has been determined before, although the journey is fast, but no one reminds you, That's a bit of a surprise.

Seeing that Yu Wenrong, who had never even paid attention to the history of the assassins in various states, was obviously partial to Du Shiyi in his words, Wang Ming, the county lieutenant, suddenly gritted his teeth secretly, and only then said that Du Mingfu was in a hurry and we didn't have time to remind him, and he suddenly received Yu Wenrong's extremely sharp gaze.

"Too late to remind? Jokes, it takes a lot of effort to say a word, don't think that I have been an official in the capital for many years, just think that I don't know all the tricks and tricks of the next step to step down, I have something to discuss with Du Mingfu"

Since the fall of Zhang Jiazhen, Yu Wenrong's official position has gradually become prominent, and most of the time he has to inspect the fields and households and persuade farmers outside, so there are not many people in the capital, and his contacts with Du Shiyi are naturally not eye-catching, such as most foreign officials with humble official positions are completely unaware. Therefore, the four subordinate officials found that Yu Wenrong, who was still calm when he first entered the county party, actually sprinkled all his anger on their heads at this moment, but spoke very well to Du Shiyi, even if several people were very depressed in their hearts, but no one dared to disobey Yu Wenrong, the newly promoted son of heaven, and had to swallow his anger and retreat.

And as soon as they left, Yu Wenrong directly retreated from the left and right servants, and when the gate was closed, he said to Du Shiyi with a smile: "Why, you, a direct minister who has won the reputation of Du Jiulang in the capital, can't even control these subordinate officials when you arrive in Chengdu?" ”

"With Brother Yuwen Huwei, of course you have to borrow it. On the third day, I left Chengdu to visit the villages and towns below, and I didn't pay attention to the careful thinking of these guys, but I didn't expect to miss Brother Yuwen's rì to Chengdu. If you don't happen to come back, I'm afraid that you will really snub Brother Yuwen, you, the official. ”

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't be so incompetent."

Du Shiyi became a foreign official, Yu Wenrong also inquired about Li Linfu, and then checked it again, and vaguely guessed the real reason why Du Shiyi left Beijing, just because he was afraid that the prince Li Siqian would continue to be obsessed. Previously, Du Shiyi had been studying in Lizheng Academy for more than a year because of Zhang Shuo's recommendation, and in his opinion, Zhang Shuo's strategy was to retreat as a strategy, and the purpose was to make Du Shiyi stop as a minister.

Although his grandfather Yuwenjie used to be an official in Shangshu Youcheng, because of his friendship with Fang Yiai, he was implicated in the rebellion case and was once exiled to Guizhou. Because of this, his seniority is far inferior to that of other eunuchs, and his pace since joining the ranks has been extremely slow. And his mother's Wei family was affected in the rebellion of Empress Wei, which was not as good as before, so he especially hoped to gather a group of capable people and wise men by his side, and with the foundation laid in the past few years, he entered the main government hall in one fell swoop. Therefore, since he believes that Du Shiyi is a capable person, and the current Zhongshu Ling Zhang Shuo does not seem to deal with it very much, he naturally does not hesitate to express his goodwill.

"Come, tell me, what did you find when you took office as a new official?"

Du Shiyi knew that Yu Wenrong was an expert, so he took the discord between the host and the guest that he heard on Zhang Yi's floor as an introduction, and then talked about the specific situation he had found in the villages and towns below.

Although the large-scale enclosure has ended, and a total of 800,000 hidden households have been collected throughout the Tang Dynasty, which has made Li Longji overjoyed, Yu Wenrong knows that this is just the tip of the iceberg. Just like a county town in Chengdu, the number of customers reported at the beginning was more than 1,200, but according to Du Shiyi's visit in six small villages, there are 120 hidden households in each village, plus more customers who do not make a living from agriculture and are not registered here, at least no less than 2,000 households

But Yu Wenrong didn't intend to blindly expand the results of the battle, and at this moment he frowned and said: "There is no need to delve into this, after all, how to let these hidden households live in peace on the spot, and after the tax exemption period has passed, they can pay taxes to the imperial court, which is the most important thing." ”

Du Shiyi comprehended, nodded with a smile: "I also know that Brother Yuwen will definitely not rush to investigate to the end, so this time I am not just to check the hidden customers, but more to see how they get along with the local people, and the result is not optimistic." Unless the locals are exempt from servitude, the rest have to bear the rent and the local tax, but these customers can be exempted for several years. This is the case with enlistment, and even more so with tribute......"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Wenrong said categorically: "The service can be exempted, but the tribute must not be confused. If there is a well-dressed household, it is not enough, otherwise unless the tax is paid, the children of these customers are not allowed to participate in the state and county tribute. ”

Du Shiyi didn't mention a specific example, but he got such a reply from Yu Wenrong, and he suddenly sighed secretly, thinking that it was no wonder that Li Bai waited until Tianbao was really famous in the world, and his career was full of twists and turns.

Only Yu Wenrong is now implementing a national policy, and this person is extremely difficult to convince, so he skipped this point, and continued: "As for taking water because of land reclamation, and even fighting for water and land and homesteads, the dispute between the host and the guest has become more and more intense, so I am afraid that the focus of my term will have to be on how to really live in peace with the customers who have been registered in the fields and households, how to pay taxes when the time comes, and how to be able to live in peace with the residents."

"Okay, okay, you can know like this, I really look at you"

Seeing that Du Shiyi really didn't accuse himself of failing his previous strategy, but was thinking about how to govern and solve the problem, Yu Wenrong became happy. He Huo Ran stood up and took two steps back and forth, then turned around and looked at Du Shiyi with blazing eyes, and said with a smile: "By the way, I will also send you a great piece of good news." Being in the same Chengdu city as Zhang Jiazhen, you must be so uncomfortable in your heart. His good rì is over, before Bixia gave Wang Shouyi to death, Zhang said that he took the opportunity to give Zhang Jiazhen another eye medicine, so at this time, the person who went to the Yizhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to deliver the decree should have arrived. He can't do this history of the governor of Yizhou, and the next thing is to degrade the history of Taizhou, which is not a good place, maybe he will have to die there"

Being in the same city as Zhang Jiazhen is indeed not a wonderful experience, so since Li Longji is willing to move people, Du Shiyi is of course very happy. Just thinking about Zhang Jiazhen's once glorious to the point of being a man of his word in the political hall, Yuan Qianyao was suppressed so much that he could hardly make a sound, but now he is down to this point, he inevitably has a feeling of the cold state of the world in his heart. However, he had more to do than sigh for Zhang Jiazhen's experience, and after a moment of hesitation, he tentatively said: "Then I don't know who the new Governor Yi is?" ”

"That's what I want to say to you"

Yuwen Rong immediately put on a face full of righteousness, and said word by word: "It is Zhang Shuo's henchman, who has served as Shangshu Youcheng before, Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and Fan Chengming who has served as a three-time assassin in history." Although the Fan family in Hanoi has not produced many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, Zhang said that he called himself the Zhang family of Hedong, but he was not a direct descendant, and the Fan family also had a prime minister Fan Lubing in the queen of heaven, this Fan Chengming is his son, and he is the highest official in the Fan family now. Zhang said that he was very protective of me, since this person has served as the governor of Yizhou, it is very likely that he will make a fuss about the host and guest, and you have to count it yourself. ”

Du Shiyi asked to be the county magistrate, and he also thought about doing something practical in his heart, but he was not afraid of being suppressed. At this moment, since Yuwenrong had reminded him in advance, he nodded and said, "I know, thank you Brother Yuwen for reminding me." It would be best if he was fair and upright, but if he couldn't, I wouldn't back down easily."

"Okay, if there is a strong point in this Shu, I will rest assured" Yuwenrong hahadaxiao, as if Du Shiyi was not a small Chengdu county commander, but also the history of the governor of Yizhou.

When the banquet was set up in the county party in the evening, Yu Wenrong reprimanded him with a straight face because the wine and food at the banquet were too extravagant, although it was Du Shiyi who apologized, but Yu Ling, the county Cheng who was originally going to do all this, felt very gloomy.

And when Yu Wenrong invited several judges who were accompanying him to the same table, they saw Du Shiyi and one of them seeing each other, so they saluted and greeted each other in surprise and joy, and they were extremely familiar with each other. When they learned from the conversation between the two, the judge Guo who had the title of supervising the imperial history was actually Du Shiyi's colleague who was the captain of Wannian back then, and Du Shiyi recommended him to Yu Wenrong, and they regretted it at the time.

Judging from this, isn't Du Shiyi's relationship with Yu Wenrong extremely unusual?

After Yuwenrong invited these judges to take a seat, he pointed at Guo Quan and smiled at Du Shiyi: "This time, I was ordered to serve as a clean inspector again, and I was in a hurry all the way, and because the sage wanted to seal Zen, I had to rush back to Luoyang." Guo Quan is going to stay and inspect Jiannan Dao this time, since he is your old colleague, you can take care of him more."

Du Shiyi's heart moved, and when he saw Guo Quan nodding to himself with a smile, he immediately agreed happily. This meal was staggered, and although he and Yu Wenrong and Guo Quan and other judges had a good meal, they were pitiful for the first four subordinate officials who accompanied the last seat very uncomfortable, not only had to accompany the smiling face, but also had to deal with Yu Wenrong's problem of wrapping guns and sticks from time to time.

In Yu Wenrong's words, Du Shiyi has just arrived, who else can you ask if you don't ask about the people and things in Chengdu County?
