Chapter 412: parting meeting

  Although he decided to leave the next day, Zhao Hanzhang still met Xun Xiu and other officials and generals of the prefectural government.

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

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

   added: "The training of infantry should not be slack, especially the formation of troops. If the cavalry cannot resist the Xiongnu, then the army should be used to stop the killing. Although there is no war now, you should not be slack."

   Someone said: "If you want to talk about infantry versus cavalry, you still have to look at Beigongchun. Whether it's the Xianbei or the Xiongnu, he won't be able to get it right."

  Xun Xiu was always not convinced by Bei Gongchun. He heard the words and said, "What's the use of being brave alone? You have to be able to lead an army to lead the army. Let alone lead the army, he can't even go back to Xiliang."

   "Huh?" Zhao Hanzhang tilted his head, "Is there any news from General Bei Gong? Didn't he return to Xiliang?"

Ji Yuan, who had been sitting in silence, said: "We got news that Zhang Gui, the prefect of Liangzhou, seems to be ill. Someone told the King of Nanyang that Zhang Gui was disabled, and the court intends to replace the prefect of Liangzhou. General Beigong had just arrived in Qinzhou. He was stopped by Jia Kan, and he was not allowed to cross Qinzhou."

"He had no choice but to turn to Chang'an, and wanted to return to Liangzhou from Chang'an, but the King of Nanyang left him behind and heard that Jia Kan would be sent to be the new governor of Liangzhou, and now General Bei Gong is staying in Chang'an. Ji Yuan said: "Beigongchun is Zhang Ji's confidant. Although he doesn't know what happened to Zhang Ji, it is clear that Jia Kan is competing with him for the post of Liangzhou prefect. It is extremely unfavorable for Jia Kan to let him return to Xiliang at this time. ."

   Zhao Hanzhang sighed, "It's not that General Bei Gong has no ability to lead troops, it's just bad luck."

  Xun Xiu: "Luck is also the ability of the general."

Zhao Hanzhang agreed with this, but he did not think that Bei Gongjing belonged to this category. He just sighed and looked wistful. He turned around and found Jiyuan quietly, and said in a low voice, "Send a caravan to Chang'an and choose a clever one. If you can talk, it would be best if you can invite General Bei Gong back to Yuzhou, please don’t move, then keep in touch.”

   Ji Yuan knew that she was still a thief towards Bei Gongchun.

   But Bei Gongchun is indeed worth their troubles. If Zhao Hanzhang can get Bei Gongchun, Yuzhou will no longer fear the Huns.

   So Ji Yuan agreed.

   Zhao Hanzhang didn't talk much about Beigongchun in front of Xun Xiu and other generals, so he regretted it for a while and continued, "The elite soldiers have to be trained every day, while the rest of the soldiers are still in the fields. They are busy with farming and train in their slack."

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

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "Now, nine out of ten soldiers in the army came from farming. All of them were forced to join the army. Now they can fight, how can they get worse after training?"

She said: "The people take food as their heaven. Now the people in Yuzhou are withering, and the people may not have many soldiers. If they don't return the soldiers to the fields, a commoner may have to support two, even three or four people. How can they afford to support them? Woolen cloth?"

   Xun Xiu and the others stopped talking.

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "I'm already preparing farm tools and seeds. From tomorrow, the troops will plough and remove weeds in the garrisoned areas for spring ploughing."

  The audience will look at each other and all respond in unison.

   There will be nothing to do with Xun Xiu and the others, it's all about civil affairs.

   Zhao Hanzhang met with the officials of the former governor's office. Most of these officials were not replaced by her, but only some officials who were lazy and obviously neglected the government were replaced.

   She has a lot of political initiatives, which requires several times more manpower than before. The people she brought in are not enough to fill them in directly. Even the staff of He Shishi was pulled over by her.

   "The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the order goes on. From today to the end of next year, all caravans passing by my Yuzhou will be exempted from tolls, no matter how big or small, and transactions within the five counties and the country will be subject to sixty-one tax."

   This is not a consultation, but a direct notification.

Everyone was astonished, and even Ji Yuan couldn't help frowning and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this tax too low? Now all local business taxes are 30 tax 1, 25 tax 1, and some even reach Twenty one tax."

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

   Ji Yuan was silent.

   Zhao Hanzhang said to Xun Xiu and the others: "Business travelers come to Yu, and their safety must be guaranteed. Just as you are going to train troops, you should kill all the bandits in Yuzhou."

   She said: "They are also common people who are forced to fall behind. If you can recruit security, you can recruit security. If you can't recruit security, you can't kill the bandits. I have another use for them."

  Xun Xiu was quick to ask, "What do you want them to do?"

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

   Oh, yes, Inspector He has a big iron mine, and now it belongs to Zhao Hanzhang!

   Everyone's eyes couldn't help but aim at He Heng, who had been sitting at the very end. Sitting beside him was Yu Sheng, Heng's former staff.

For some reason, Zhao Hanzhang did not replace He Heng or drive Yu Sheng away after returning to Chen County. Instead, she kept everyone and found them a small and medium-sized official in the Prefect's Mansion. Do.

Xun Xiu and others felt that she was showing her favor and bribing people from the family of Inspector He, but she herself did not stay in Chen County, nor did she show any difference to anyone. like.

   Seeing that everyone turned to look at He Heng, she simply followed along and said directly, "I'm going back to Runan County tomorrow, He Heng and Yu Sheng will follow."

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

   Yu Sheng should also go down.

  This meeting was held from noon to evening. When the generals and officials left, their faces were numb. I received too much information today.

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

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

Just thinking about it, Fan Ying chased them out from behind and called them to stop. She stood on the steps and bowed her hands slightly to them, smiling, "I have compiled the contents of the envoy's meeting today, if the generals and court officials need it, they will also be sent to you. Please send a deputy to the Governor's House to transcribe a copy."

   The people represented by Xun Xiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, saying that they would send someone over in a while.

   Zhao Hanzhang turned his neck and went to rest, while Fan Ying and the others worked overtime until the middle of the night, slept, and the next day they waited outside the governor's mansion full of energy.

   Zhao Kuan not only followed the meeting for a long time yesterday, but also handed over some matters with Ji Yuan, and his eyes are dull at the moment.

   Seeing Zhao Hanzhang's reluctance to part with Wang's face, he couldn't help sighing.

   Fan Ying who was standing beside him was very happy when he heard it, turned his head to look at him, couldn't see his half-dead appearance, and said, "Don't you just take care of him for half a month? The envoy said, we will be back soon."

   "It's not you who is left, you can naturally be so relaxed."
