I don't want to be king

Chapter 511
Zixia asked him where he wanted to go, and he said without hesitation: Go north.

He once traveled all the way from Ankang City to Sanhe, and from Sanhe back to Ankang City on a donkey. He also knew a general idea of ​​the situation in the south of Ankang City.

Moreover, whether it is Yong'an or Wuzhou, Nanzhou, Yuezhou, and Jingzhou, they have been under his rule for a long time, and they are relatively peaceful now, so there is nothing to worry about.

Most importantly, spring will soon be over and summer will be here.

Not to mention the heat, he couldn't help shivering just thinking of the south where mosquitoes were flying all over the sky.

It's fine to go out, eat and sleep in the open, people have three urgencies, the wilderness, the butt can't stand it.

For his vicissitudes of life ass, he resolutely went north.

"My lord,"

Pan Duoce immediately went forward and said, "My lord, the journey has been tiring, there is a big market town ahead, let's go in and rest for a night before we go on our way."

Before he came out, no matter it was He Jixiang, Chen Desheng and other elders, as well as Manager Hong, Zixia and others, they all repeatedly explained that the prince and the prince are delicate and should not take the fast road, and walk a few miles a day to satisfy the exploration with the prince Desire is almost enough.

Don't take what Wang Ye said about "private visits in microservices" seriously.

Whoever is truer loses!
This trip out is just to coax and play with the prince!

Therefore, this trip, he tried his best to follow the newly established official path.

If he was tired from riding a donkey with the prince, he would immediately arrange for someone to bring the four-wheel drive four-wheel drive carriage with shock absorption behind him, so that the prince and the prince could lie down comfortably in it.

There are all kinds of wine and side dishes inside.

But all of this is hidden from He Wang Ye, fortunately He Wang Ye is not at the point where it is needed.

Lin Yi looked at the sun, which was still visible, and said with a smile, "It's still early to get dark, let's continue on our way."

"My lord said so,"

Song Cheng on the side also smiled and said, "A dozen miles further ahead is the De'en Mountain Resort. I remember that the prince has been talking about this place all the time. Why don't we take a look at it?"

Lin Yi asked in surprise, "Why did you go to De'en?"

In order to consolidate the management of Saibei, the founding emperor Lin Baozhi established the Deen Paddock several hundred miles away from Ankang City.

Every autumn, the emperor brought tens of thousands of filial sons, princes and nobles to hunt here, and in order to solve the food, clothing, housing and transportation problems of so many people, dozens of palaces were built here.

The most famous of these is the Deen Mountain Resort, which is used to escape the summer heat and handle government affairs.

Emperor Delong was diligent and rarely came here to escape the summer heat. On the contrary, it was cheaper for the eldest princess, the prince, the king of Dai, the king of Xin, the king of Jin and others.

Every summer, these people basically come here.

When Lin Yi couldn't take it anymore, he wanted to follow him, but he didn't have a chance because he would be so soft-spoken.

I can only talk to Hong Ying, Song Cheng and others if I have nothing to do.

After he led the troops into Ankang City, the first thing Hong Ying did for him was to let the Jizhou guerrilla general Yue Shan occupy the Summer Resort.

It's just that he never came.

Thinking of this, I can't help feeling a little bit, what was once out of reach, now suddenly becomes within reach.

He suddenly looked at the sly-eyed Arhat on the right, and said angrily, "No wonder I said Song Cheng is going to bring you over here."

This trip, Zixia recommended Pan Duo, and he didn't object at that time.

Pan Duo is the deputy commander of the court guard. He is skilled and well-informed. He is away from home. It would be best if such a person is responsible for the internal and external liaison officer.

As for Song Cheng, he also thought of it suddenly.

Mingyue and Zixia are her accountants and auditors, and Hong Ying is his money bag. As for his internal treasury, Songcheng is basically managing all his properties, such as his salt farm in Fangniao Island, tea farm in Yongan, and Sanhe Bank. , Large ship at sea.
Song Cheng is not an official, but as an agent of the industry under his name, he is more prestigious than an official.

Because of the needs of businessmen, he often travels to and from the states of Daliang State, and has a good understanding of the customs and customs of many places.

When Lin Yi brought him with him, it was like bringing an encyclopedia with him.

And Luo Han was brought here by Song Cheng.

He once disliked Luo Han very much, and arranged to go to the Jinling government office to fight.

The guy behind couldn't stand it anymore, and returned to Ankang City with a stern face.

He was originally a native of Ankang City, and Lin Yi had no reason not to let him come back.

I don't know what benefits it gave Xiaoxizi, and she turned into the governor of De'en Mountain Resort, responsible for the security of the villa.

After he found out, he didn't object.

In this position, ability is not important, it still depends on loyalty.

Lohan has proved many times that being loyal to him is enough.

He just turned a blind eye.

I just saw it here suddenly, and then it happened to be the Summer Resort in front of me.

It was premeditated!
She didn't take him to a private visit in Weifu, but planned to corrupt him with sugar-coated shells!

"My lord,"

Luo Han was a little at a loss for a while, and said with a smile, "I have never had the opportunity to honor you. Since I heard that you are coming to Jizhou, I have the cheek to beg Brother Song to take me with me."

Lin Yi rolled his eyes at him and said, "I don't have the ability to be serious, but I have a way of making money."

Song Cheng said with a smile, "My lord, forgive me."

Lin Yi sighed, "The private interview on Weibo was agreed upon, but now everyone knows about it!"

Even a low-level character like Luo Han knows, what else is there to say?
Pan Duo cupped his hands and said, "It's all the fault of my subordinates, please punish me, my lord."

"Humph,"

Lin Yi said angrily, "You let everyone know the king's whereabouts, what if someone assassinates me?
You are the great master here, whether it is from Jizhao Temple, Tuigu Temple, or Xihuang, if you come here, I will die! "

"Don't worry, my lord, there are troops stationed all over Jizhou, with countless artillery pieces. No matter who comes, they will never return!"

Pan An didn't dare to say that Ye Qiu, who was going to Chuanzhou, was lying in the carriage behind.

As for how many bodyguards, court guards, and military masters He Jixiang, Qi Peng, and Hong Ying have mobilized to the left and right, he, the deputy commander of the court guards, doesn't even know!

What's more, there is the elusive manager Hong Yinghong in the dark!

Unless the people in Jizhao Nunnery are crazy and dare to trouble the prince!

"Has the cannons been deployed in Jizhou?"

Hearing that there were cannons, Lin Yi was relieved a lot.

Science comes first.

He worshiped the power of knowledge.

In front of the cannon, all falsehoods have nothing to hide!

Luo Han hurriedly said, "Every market town with a population of more than [-] has heavy artillery!"

Lin Yi nodded and said with satisfaction, "That's good."

Pan Duo said, "Then, my lord, let's hurry to the Mountain Resort right now?"

"No, I'm here to observe the people's sentiments, not for a vacation,"

Now that everyone knows about his going out, he is embarrassed to talk about private visits, "It's not very useful to look at the upper limit of a place's development. If you want to see it, you have to go to the most grassroots villages to see the lower limit of a place, and then you can know the real situation."

"What does the prince mean?"

What "upper limit" and "lower limit" are often said with the prince, and Pan Duo can probably understand what they mean, but the specific understanding is still far behind.

Lin Yi pointed to a narrow dirt road at the intersection, "Where are we going? Look at the traces on the road. There should be people walking often. There must be a big village nearby. Let's go and have a look."

"Yes."

The three said in unison.

A group of merchants pretended to continue walking along the path.

After a while, you can see pedestrians in twos and threes, all in ragged clothes and haggard.

The houses along the way are also low and low, all of which are muddy, with decayed thatch or wheat straw pressed on them.

In the plains, there is little wood, not much thatch and wheat straw are used to light the fire for cooking, and it is necessary to hesitate to use it to renovate the roof.

He now finally understands that Bai Juyi, a young man from the West Piao, complains that "living in Chang'an is not easy" and he is unwilling to return to his hometown.

Even if I was relegated, I still expressed the emotion of the local cultural youth who said "I resigned from the imperial capital last year and lived in Xunyang City where I was ill.

No one wants to stay in such a dilapidated countryside!
Lin Yi stopped in front of a house. After seeing the kid playing with mud in front of the door, he was so frightened that he hid directly in the house.

There is a water tank in front of the door, the water in it is turbid, and even emits a foul smell.

Lin Yi frowned, "Is there such a shortage of water here?"

Luo Han said, "This place has been suffering from years of drought, and selling children and daughters has long been a common occurrence."

There was something he didn't dare to say.

Adding blessings to the prince will make things worse.

"No wonder the fields are barren!"

It's the spring plowing season in front of us, and Lin Yi can't see any busy farming!

It made him feel a little creepy!
"After two spring rains, it is said that it can be planted,"

Luo Han hesitated and said, "It's just..."

"Just what?"

Lin Yi sighed, "You yourself are from a farming household. Don't get your butt crooked after two days of full food. If you have a conscience, just speak up for them."

"Yes!"

Luo Han finally gritted his teeth and said boldly, "Your Majesty is merciful, land annexation is now prohibited, and there are five acres of land per head, but all that is allocated is sandy land and saline-alkali land. As for the good land, the rich have long since distributed it.

It is these saline-alkali lands that no one can afford to grow. They don't even have seeds and farm tools, so spring plowing is useless. "

Lin Yi frowned and said, "Can't you rent it from the government?"

Luo Han shook his head and said, "That's a way for the government to take advantage of the opportunity to collect money. How can it be cheaper for the common people? Farmers don't even dare to rent more than ten yuan a year in interest."

"So expensive?"

Lin Yi was speechless!
According to modern calculations, a year is more than ten percent interest!

This is usury!

"."

Luo Han sneered, "My lord is wise."

Seeing the prince's furious look, he didn't dare to say any more.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Who is Deen's prefect?"

"My lord, the magistrate of De'en is Jiang Pei."

It was Pando who answered.

Lin Yi said, "Jiang Pei, is this name so familiar?"

"Jiang Pei is the younger brother of Master Jiang Kan, who was promoted by the Navy."

Pan Duo thought for a while, and then continued, "After he got his primary school diploma in Nanzhou, Lord He Jixiang praised him as the prefect of De'en. This man loves the people like a son, and is very diligent."

Lin Yi said, "Then why is this place so rotten?"

"My lord,"

Pan Duo smiled wryly, "Jiang Pei is from Nanzhou. The officials here are intertwined and intertwined. In order to avoid civil disturbances, they have always been cautious."

Lin Yi said bitterly, "You just said earlier, there are garrisons and cannons, are they all vegetarians?"

Pan Duo said cautiously, "Officials from all over the country have been actively responding to the prince's policy of maintaining stability. If they act too hastily, they will destroy the local business system, logistics system, and business travel. It will be even more difficult to build."

What he said was what the prince once said!

"fart!"

Lin Yi said angrily, "No matter how bad it is, it can be worse than it is now!"

When he first arrived in Ankang City, he did say these words, and now it has been widely circulated and has become a guide for officials everywhere!

However, this moment and that moment!
When he first came to Sanhe, the people of Sanhe were poor, but at least they had water to drink!
In the old forest, in the river, at least I can make do with it!

Not full, but not starving to death!
Therefore, he is lenient to Wang Cheng, Liang Gen, Yan Kuisheng, Hu Banquan and other rich landlords!

The most important thing is that Sanhe's economic and material trade are all controlled by these people!
If they were killed, Sanhe would really be dead!

But Jizhou is different.

So close to Ankang City, he gave an order, the policy was tilted, and there were too many people with two legs!

I dare not say that business and travel exchanges are endless, at least it will not be interrupted like Sanhe.

Song Cheng said, "What the prince said is true."

It's rare for him to see the prince lose such a big temper!
"The philosophy that my king taught you is all in vain,"

Lin Yi said helplessly, "If you analyze specific problems in detail, none of them can be used flexibly."

He didn't bother to say any more, and continued to walk north, and he couldn't bear to look at the miserable scene of selling children and prostitutes all the way.

Halfway through, I turned back to the Deen Mountain Resort.

Wuxin drank the iced lotus seed porridge in front of him, but said with a sad face, "I only thought that Yuezhou would be difficult, Hongzhou would be difficult, but I didn't expect that Jizhou would be even more difficult."

He really couldn't figure it out, he had the cheek to add a gift to Jizhou at the beginning!

"My lord, calm down!"

He Jixiang, who got the news of the anger of the prince, came directly to Ben Deen, knelt down in the hall, and said sadly, "This is a must!"

Lin Yi closed his eyes and said, "What do you mean must be done?"

"My lord,"

He Jixiang said word by word, "The war in northern Saibei is urgent, Yuezhou and Hongzhou are corrupt, and there is no tax to collect. Yong'an and Wuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River cannot quench their thirst. Only Jizhou is close at hand!"

"Hey"

Lin Yi understood the meaning of these words.

Jizhou is unlucky because it is too close to Ankang City!

This is also wrong?

"Jizhou has been exempted from taxes for three years!"

Lin Yi said in a deep voice, "Take out another 100 million taels of money from Haimao this year for disaster relief!"

The most hateful thing is myself, because of my ignorance, I agreed to He Jixiang's request to add a gift!

He Jixiang said loudly, "My lord is wise!"

"Corrupt officials here, the three divisions will interrogate them, even if the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu come, they will not be able to save them!"

Lin Yi stood up, threw the teapot in his hand to the ground with a slap, and said coldly, "I said it!"
