Yang Ze listened to it on the side, and knew that the little princess was going to meet the prince of what tribe, it is estimated that the two of them can be regarded as free love, if the prince deliberately stammered the little princess, the little princess is not very old, and it is easy to have a good impression of the prince.

The princess also said: "Caicai, don't go, it's so cold now, and it's so far away, you went to the bald side, the mother concubine is not at ease, don't go!" ”

The little princess was very unhappy, but her little face was stubborn, it was estimated that she didn't listen to her parents' words, but she didn't refute it, lowered her head, continued to eat lamb legs, and ate her head to her heart's content.

Yang Ze thought to himself: "It turns out that the little princess's name is Li Caicai, how could the royal princess have such a name, could it be a nickname?" ”

It turned out that the little princess did not have a big name, according to the rules of the royal family, even if the names of the emperors and grandchildren were not given by the emperor himself, they should be named according to the generations, at least they had to be reported to the emperor, and the emperor approved it, after all, it was necessary to go to the royal family tree, but the little princess was not born in the capital, and Li Yan did not have the opportunity to give the Dugu Empress a chapter, so the daughter's name was delayed, and only a small name was given, this name was not noble, and the main reason for such a name was to let the Dugu Empress know that she would feel pity, can make the little princess live a good life, but unfortunately, after so many years, Queen Dugu has never had mercy, the little princess should live a hard life, and she has to live it.

Yang Ze smiled and asked, "What, Her Royal Highness the princess wants to go to Bald Luxun?" Have friends over there? ”

Caicai didn't speak, but the princess said: "What do children know." It's just that last year, a tribe nomad came here, Caicai just went out of the city, and the tribe people met, the tribe people deliberately stammered, she thought those barbarians were good people, during the New Year, the barbarian prince also sent a sheep over, Caicai was grateful. It's really childlike, when everyone is a good person! ”

Yang Ze sighed, looked at Caicai, and thought: "I gave you so many gifts, and I didn't see you say that I was a friend, let alone treat me as a sweetheart!" ”

When it came to the private affairs of Caicai, Yang Ze didn't want to ask much, but he drank a lot of wine with Li Yan, Li Yan was drunk, and the banquet was dispersed.

Early the next morning. Yang Ze sent Yan Chenghou to the state to buy, and also sent twenty soldiers to follow and protect, and even sent an official document to the assassin history, telling the assassin that he had taken over the post of county order, and also asked the assassin to formally appoint Fu Bingrong and others as officials, after all, he can appoint such an official position as the county lord Bo, but he has to be recognized by the state.

After sending Yan Chenghou, Yang Ze began to wander around the county. Anyway, he had to know his own territory first. But after some inspection, he was already disappointed, and he was disappointed by three points.

Zhenxi County is really poor, although there is as much land as there is to cultivate. However, labor is insufficient, and food production is not high, so it is difficult for the people to feed their families if they rely on farming alone. Not to mention the bitter haha, you still have to pay taxes, it is better to rob quickly. You don't even have to pay a penny in tax.

As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters come out of Diao people, this sentence may not be right in other places, who said that the poor are Diao people, this saying is not right, but here in Zhenxi County, it is very correct, this poor place is really full of Diao people, even women and children are not easy to mess with!

When Yang Ze patrolled the city, he met a child on the street, this child was only five or six years old, dressed in tattered clothes, frozen face full of snot, wandering on the street, Yang Ze looked sad, so he asked the child to give a piece of cake, the child took the cake and ran away, but after a short time came back!

When he ran away, it was a child, but when he came back, there was a large group of children, all shouting for bread, Yang Ze couldn't, these children looked really poor, so he asked his subordinates to give each of the children a cake.

After the children devoured the bread, they did not disperse, they kept following Yang Ze, and shouted loudly, saying that you gave today's bread, but what about tomorrow?

Yang Ze almost fainted, why do I still have to give you tomorrow's bread, if you want to give it like this, I will have to give it the day after tomorrow!

Anyway, there are not too many children, and if he gives it, he will give it, and he asked his subordinates to give each child a cake, which is considered tomorrow, and after giving it, he will take people back to the county office.

Unexpectedly, that night, there was a large group of children at the door of the county office, and it could not be said that it was children, there were people of all ages, and there were even people in their twenties, gathered at the gate of the county government, asking the county master to give them cakes!

Yang Ze was shocked, and hurriedly called Hao Weifeng and asked, "Don't the children in this county have anything to eat?" What about their parents, who give birth to children and do not provide for them? ”

Hao Weifeng couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "County Zun, this county is poor, and it is not false that the people eat badly, but it has not yet reached the point of having no food to eat, and it is not a disaster year, how can there be no food and drink at all, and if you don't eat and drink, you won't starve to death!" But the county should not give them the bread, with something to eat for free, who doesn't want it, don't look at the time when they pay taxes, they can't find them, but if there is a chance to eat for nothing, they won't pull down any of them, they all have to come and ask for it, they can't afford it! ”

Yang Ze sighed: "The people of a county are living in such a difficult situation, it is my responsibility as a parent official...... Ah, no, it's the responsibility of the former parents, I'm wiping my ass for the ex, or not, if the official is not the master of the people, it's better not to be an official. ”

He walked out of the county office and came to the gate, and saw hundreds of people around the door, including children and ordinary people.

Yang Ze first arched his hand at everyone and said: "Fellow villagers, this official is the newly appointed county commander, and in line with the principle of three fires when the new official takes office, I have decided to set the fire to ......."

When the people heard this, they were all surprised, why are you setting fire, what are you going to burn, isn't it going to burn our house!

I heard Yang Ze say again: "If you want to set fire, you have to ask for firewood, the official decided, whoever pays 100 catties of firewood, who can get a meal from me, I don't have good things, the official is not arrogant, I can't afford to give too good food, but each person has two Hu cakes per meal, a bowl of broth, or can afford it, how about it, are you willing to do this job?" ”

The people were surprised and delighted, this cold day, they have nothing to do, and the year is almost over, after the end of the year is the spring famine, the food can be saved a little, to pick up firewood can be exchanged for food, of course this work is done, but I don't know, what do you want so much firewood for, what do you want to burn?

Li Yan heard a sound outside, so he stood at the gate of the courtyard, and wondered in his heart, if Yang Ze had such a method of collecting firewood, then he would not have to send tens of thousands of catties to you, can you afford to pay the salary!

Yang Ze said: "The official will never lose his words when he speaks, you have collected the firewood, and sent it to the place I designated, I will set up a stove in the designated place, cook the broth, and cook the flatbread, and after handing over the firewood, I will receive the cake and soup on the spot, and the child will not be bullied!" ”

The people are a little skeptical when they hear this, firewood, Zhenxi County can have it, there are a lot of woods outside the city, there is no shortage of firewood, what is lacking is food, if the county is willing to provide flatbread and broth, then they are willing to make this effort!

When the children heard this, they dispersed in a hurry, and they all went home to tell their parents, flatbread and broth, they are all good things, and only one hundred catties of firewood are needed for a meal, even if they are children, they can pick up them when they go out of the city a few more times!

After the people were dispersed, Li Yan came over and asked, "Yang County Order, what are you doing here, do you want to follow Shang Ying's example and win the trust of the people?" But even if you want to change the poverty here, just collect firewood, but you can't do it, there is nothing else in this place, how much firewood you need, don't look at the cold in this place, but I've heard of people dying of hunger, but I've never heard of people freezing to death! ”

Yang Ze sighed and said: "Lord, I want firewood, not to set fire, but to repair the city wall, now the weather is cold, presumably the herdsmen on the grassland are not having a good time, in case they don't have anything to eat or drink, what if they come to rob the county seat, the city wall is broken like that, we don't have many soldiers, and we can't defend it!" ”

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, but shook his head again and said: "How to repair the city wall in the winter, you have to wait until the weather gets warmer, and how can you use firewood to repair the city wall, and you can't stop the robbers!" ”

Yang Ze smiled, for Li Yan, he is not good at selling Guanzi, and said with a smile: "Its practical firewood repairs the city wall, when the weather is hot, it is really unreliable, but now the weather is cold, as long as the firewood branches are used as a skeleton, and then the snow is piled up around, and then poured water on it, isn't it frozen into an ice wall, and it can also be used as a wall in a so-so way, as long as it can survive this winter, when the weather gets warmer, let's think of other ways!" ”

Li Yan listened, Hadi was happy, and said: "Oh, this method is good, I have been in the northwest for so many years, but I never thought that the city wall has been broken for so long, and the successive county commanders are worried, but I have never thought of this method, you thought of it as soon as you came, it is really smart!" He gave a thumbs up.

Yang Ze said twice, "But I look at the appearance of this county, the robbers on the grassland may not dare to come, in case we can't rob us, but we rob us, wouldn't it be bad." In fact, the lower officials are just giving the people a chance to eat, and secondly, they have to let them understand that I do what I say, so that if there is anything in the future, they can believe in me and follow me! ”

Li Yan smiled: "Yes, that's right, you are so young, you became a county magistrate, it seems that you have a bright future!" ”

Yang Ze thought to himself: "If I tell you that I used to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and I was demoted to become a county commander, I don't know what you would say at that time!" ”

In the next few days, the people in the city were mobilized, almost every household was collecting firewood, and many people hesitated on the first day, afraid that Yang Ze was fooling people, but they saw that after the neighbors handed over the firewood, they could really get the flatbread and broth, they no longer hesitated, and also went to collect firewood, and within a few days, they picked up a circle in the woods outside the city, and the branches on the ground were all picked up, and someone had already begun to cut down the big trees!
