Wei and Jin cooks

Although he decided to leave the next day, Zhao Hanzhang still met with Xun Xiu and other officials and generals of the governor's office first.

Everyone met together and held a meeting on the future development of Yuzhou, and Zhao Hanzhang gave important instructions.

She said to Xun Xiu and other generals: "Cavalry is particularly important when fighting against the Huns, so each army must form its own cavalry and do everything possible to purchase enough horses for training."

He added: "The training of the infantry cannot be slacked off, especially the military formations. If the cavalry cannot resist the Huns, then military formations must be used to stop them. Although there is no war now, you cannot slack off."

Someone said: "When it comes to infantry vs. cavalry, you still have to look at Bei Gongchun. No matter whether it is Xianbei or the Huns, they will not be able to benefit from him."

Xun Xiu had never been convinced by Bei Gongchun. Hearing this, he said: "What's the use of one person's bravery? He must be able to lead an army. Let alone lead an army, he can't even go back to Xiliang."

"Huh?" Zhao Hanzhang tilted his head, "Is there any news about General Beigong? Hasn't he returned to Xiliang?"

Ji Yuan, who had been sitting silently, said: "We have received news that Zhang Gui, the governor of Liangzhou, seems to be ill. Someone informed King Nanyang that Zhang Gui was disabled and that the court intended to replace the governor of Liangzhou. General Beigong just arrived in Qinzhou. He was blocked by Jia Gong and was not allowed to cross Qinzhou."

"He had no choice but to transfer to Chang'an and wanted to return to Liangzhou from Chang'an, but the Nanyang King kept his people and heard that Jia Gong would be sent as the new governor of Liangzhou. Now General Beigong is left to serve in Chang'an. Ji Yuan said: "Beigong is purely Zhang Gui's confidant. Although I don't know what happened to Zhang Gui, it is obvious that Jia Gong is competing with him for the position of governor of Liangzhou. Letting him return to Xiliang at this time will be extremely detrimental to Jia Gong." ."

Zhao Hanzhang sighed, "It's not that General Beigong has no ability to lead troops, it's just that he's unlucky."

Xun Xiu: "Luck is also a general's ability."

Zhao Hanzhang agreed with this, but did not think that Beigong belonged to this category. He just sighed with a look of confusion on his face, turned around and quietly looked for Ji Yuan, and whispered: "Send a caravan to Chang'an and choose a smart one." If you can talk, it would be best if you can invite General Beigong back to Yuzhou. If you don't move, then we should keep in touch."

Ji Yuan knew that she was still obsessed with Bei Gongchun.

However, Beigong Chun is indeed worth their efforts. If Zhao Hanzhang can get Bei Gongchun, Yuzhou will no longer be afraid of the Huns.

So Ji Yuan agreed.

Zhao Hanzhang did not talk more about Bei Gongchun in front of Xun Xiu and other generals. He just regretted it and continued, "Elite soldiers have to train every day, while the rest of the soldiers are still in the fields, working in the fields when farming is busy and training when farming is slack."

Xun Xiu and other generals looked at each other and asked: "Your Majesty, the soldiers are stationed in the fields. I'm afraid they will slack off in fighting in the future..."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Nine out of ten soldiers in the army are from farming backgrounds, and they are all forced to join the army. Now they can fight, how can they become worse after training?"

She said: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Now the population of Yuzhou is withering. The people may not have as many soldiers as they do. If we don't return the soldiers to the fields, one person may have to support two, or even three or four people. How can they afford it?" Woolen cloth?"

Xun Xiu and others stopped talking.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I have already prepared farm tools and seeds. Starting from tomorrow, the armies will plow and weed the places where they are stationed, waiting for spring plowing."

Everyone looked at each other and agreed in unison.

Next, there will be nothing to do with Xun Xiu and the others, it will all be civil affairs.

Zhao Hanzhang met with the officials of the former governor's office. She did not replace most of these officials, only some lazy and obviously negligent officials were replaced.

She had many political initiatives and required many times more manpower than before. The people she brought were not enough to fill them in directly. Even He Governor's staff were brought over by her.

"The New Year is approaching, and I am passing on an order. From today to the end of next year, all caravans passing through my Yuzhou, no matter how big or small, will be exempted from tolls. Domestic transactions in the five counties will be taxed at 60 per cent."

This was not a discussion, but a direct notification.

Everyone was astonished. Even Ji Yuan could not help but twitch his brows and said: "Your Majesty, is this tax too low? Nowadays, the business tax levied in various places is thirty to one, twenty-five to one, and some even reach Twenty-one tax."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Then do you think how much business tax they received?"

Ji Yuan was silent.

Zhao Hanzhang said to Xun Xiu and others: "When business travelers come to Yuzhou, their safety must be guaranteed. Just because you want to train troops, just wipe out all the bandits in Yuzhou."

She said: "They are also ordinary people who have fallen into disgrace due to helplessness. Recruit them if they can. If they can't, they will be suppressed. They are not allowed to torture and kill the gangsters. I have another use for them."

Xun Xiu spoke quickly and asked one more question, "What do you want them to do?"

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him and said: "Mining!"

Oh, yes, Governor He had a large iron mine, which now belongs to Zhao Hanzhang!

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but glance at He Heng, who had been sitting at the end. Sitting next to him was Yu Sheng, He Governor's former aide.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't know what considerations she had. After returning to Chen County, she neither replaced He Heng nor drove Yu Sheng away. Instead, she kept them all and found them a moderate official in the governor's office. Do.

Xun Xiu and others felt that she was trying to show her favor by bribing people from the He governor group, but she herself did not stay in Chen County, nor did she show any difference to anyone. Like it.

Seeing that everyone turned to look at He Heng, she simply followed them and said directly: "I am going back to Runan County tomorrow. He Heng and Yu Sheng should follow."

A shoe fell to the ground in He Heng's heart. He stood up and responded respectfully, but there was still one shoe hanging in his heart.

Yu Sheng also responded.

This meeting lasted from noon to evening. When the generals and officers left, their faces were numb. They had received too much information today.

Their new envoy is really diligent. He is the most diligent envoy they have ever encountered, and he has issued many new decrees.

What to do, now they have forgotten nearly half of it.

Just as she was thinking about it, Fan Ying chased them from behind and stopped them. She stood on the steps and bowed slightly to them, and said with a smile: "I have compiled the contents of today's envoy's meeting into a book. If the general and the officials need it, they can also come." Please send a deputy to the Governor’s Mansion to make a copy.”

The people represented by Xun Xiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said they would send someone over soon.

Zhao Hanzhang rolled his neck and went to rest, while Fan Ying and the others worked overtime until midnight, took a nap, and were full of energy waiting outside the governor's mansion the next day.

Zhao Kuan not only held a half-day meeting yesterday, but also handed over some things to Ji Yuan afterwards. His eyes were glazed over at this moment.

Seeing Zhao Hanzhang saying goodbye to Wang with a reluctant look on his face, he couldn't help but sigh.

Fan Ying, who was standing next to him very happily, heard this and turned to look at him. She couldn't bear to see his half-dead look and said, "Why don't you just take care of him for half a month? Your Majesty said we will be back soon."

"It's not you who is left behind. Of course you can be so relaxed."
