Chapter 374: In Charge (Part 2)

After leaving the Governor's Mansion, An Zike said in a low voice, "Lord Du, I think Mrs. Yun is very familiar with government affairs. It seems that she has been in contact with it before." Faced with Du Xingguo's rebuttal, Mrs. Yun remained calm and full of confidence. Only a person can have such calmness.

Du Xingguo said: "Let's see and talk!" It's not that Du Xingguo doesn't believe in Yuxi, but that women are all emotional and nepotism; moreover, women are trapped in the inner house and can't see the problem in the long run. Now Du Xingguo only hoped that if the Han family was not suitable, Yun Qing would agree not to let the Han family interfere in the government affairs.

In comparison, Feng Dajun and others did not have this worry. It's not that they believe in Yuxi's ability, but that they believe in Yunqing's vision. They also believe that Yunqing is not an emotional person. Since Han can do this, it means that Han has this ability. Of course, Yuxi's previous performance gave them confidence in Yuxi.

After lunch, Yuxi said to Yunqing: "I want Fu Minglang to be the magistrate of Lanzhou City, what do you think, He Rui?"

Yun Qing disagreed, and said, "Fu Minglang is capable, but I'm worried that he will bring us trouble in the future." Du Xingguo, An Zike and others he reused were not only because of their talent and reputation, It's even more because the families of these people are in the northwest. Therefore, they did not dare to betray him, and Fu Minglang did not have this concern. If he takes control of Lanzhou City in the future and incites the people to riot or something, it will be a big trouble.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "Don't worry about that. The common people will not rebel as long as they have enough food and clothing. In addition, Zhizhou and Tongpan are both from the Northwest. If they have any actions in Fu Minglang, they will soon find out." The common people will rebel because they can't live anymore, and they live a good life, and no one will die.

Yun Qing thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "You decide this matter." If Fu Minglang really had a [UUReading Book 00kxs] abnormality, he would be able to destroy it, but it's just a little troublesome.

Yuxi has another idea: "I want to set up a supervisory department. The role of this supervisory department is equivalent to that of the censor, and it will focus on the dereliction of duty and illegal behavior of the officials in charge of supervision." Yuxi is using me here, not us . Although one word is missing, the difference is huge.

Yun Qing asked: "Why don't you just say it's Yushitai?"

Yuxi naturally has her intentions: "Yushitai, that's only owned by the imperial court. If we named it after Yushitai, the imperial court would definitely think that we want to take over the world." Although everyone knew that they were rebelling, but Because of the notes on Yunqing, the relationship with the court has been temporarily eased. If you do this again now, the situation will be different.

Yun Qing felt that there was no difference: "If the emperor suppresses the rebels in Liaodong, he will turn around and deal with us." If Yan Wushuang wins, then there is no need to say anything.

Yu Xi recalled the incident when she was assassinated, and said, "He Rui, I suspect that the murderer behind the assassination last year was Yan Wushuang."

With a serious face, Yun Qing said, "Why do you have such doubts?" Yu Xi suspected that Yan Wushuang must have his intentions.

The reason why Yuxi chose to talk about this matter now is because of her consideration. This time, in the battle between Yan Wushuang and the emperor, Yuxi believed that Yan Wushuang had a greater chance of winning. If Yan Wushuang wins, he will definitely try every means to win over Yunqing. If Yan Wushuang used the name of righteousness at that time, with Yunqing's temperament, he might be shaken, and she would absolutely not allow this to happen.

Yuxi said: "I'm dead. You will be unsuccessful in rebelling in a rage. However, even if you can't succeed, it will consume a lot of military and financial resources of the imperial court. Yan Wushuang's rebellion under such circumstances will get twice the result with half the effort .”

Yun Qing understood now: "You mean Yan Wushuang wants to make a profit?"

Yu Xi nodded and said: "Almost.

However, Yan Wushuang didn't expect that I would survive the catastrophe, and we got help from God this time, and it went smoothly beyond expectations. "The God's help that Yuxi said refers to the time of war, the weather was very good when marching, and it started to rain and snow after occupying the city. This is not God's help, what is it?

Hearing the word God's help, Yunqing touched Yuxi's head and said, "It must be God who knows your thoughts, so he took care of us extra." Although Yunqing is not superstitious, but this time the march and war really won God love.

Yu Xi readily accepted this compliment.

After finishing the business, the husband and wife talked about private matters again. Yu Xi said: "Tan Tuo wanted to betroth his daughter to Xu Wu, but I refused."

Yun Qing also knows about Miss Tan. Yun Qing said nonchalantly: "If you refuse, you will refuse. You can choose a good one for Xu Wu in Pick City. But at Xu Wu's age, marriage should be put on the agenda." Everyone else was married, and only Under Xu Wu.

In fact, Yuxi was very curious, and asked: "Xu Wu hasn't married so far, is it really just that he hasn't met the right one?" Xu Wu said that as long as he can take care of the housework well and have a good personality, this condition is not high. When he was in Yucheng Totally findable. And Xu Wu hasn't said anything about being married until now, Yuxi always feels that there is something hidden in it.

This really confused Yun Qing's question. After thinking for a while, Yun Qing said: "I don't know about this either. But if you find him a girl who is well-educated and good-looking, you can't go wrong."

Yuxi chuckled lightly and said: "To be well-educated and well-rounded is to have an outstanding appearance, so you have to find it in the official's house." In the capital, this phenomenon exists. Under normal circumstances, civil servants would not marry their daughters to generals who led troops to fight. Of course, that was in peacetime, and in the current situation, I guess these people can't wait for it!

Yun Qing said: "You can figure it out."

Yuxi is very excited about this meeting: "I'm very busy now, and I don't have time to see other girls! When Feng Dajun and Yuan Ying's wife arrive at Pick City, I'll ask them to help me see each other. What do you think about controlling the eyes and checking the gates?" Now she has to quickly become familiar with government affairs and understand these procedures. Where there is time to hold a banquet, I will meet the girl in the boudoir of Haocheng.

Yun Qing smiled and said: "No matter what, it's not a few days away." I have been single for more than 20 years, so it doesn't matter if I wait a few more months.

The husband and wife were talking, when someone came outside and said that Du Xingguo had something to see. Yuxi took Yunqing's hand and said: "Let me go!" Seeing that Yunqing wanted to accompany her, Yuxi shook her head, she felt that she had to take this step, and today, let's take this step!

Yunqing disagrees.

Yu Xi smiled and said: "Now you have to build up your prestige while you have the support in Pick City, and when you are not in Pick City, they will also convince me."

Yun Qing laughed, touched Yu Xi's face and said: "If Du Guoxing makes things difficult for you, don't hide it, I will vent your anger on you."

Yuxi laughed: "Du Guoxing is not a fool, how dare you embarrass me?" Du Xingguo embarrasses her most in government affairs. However, Yuxi is not worried, she has her own way to deal with it.

Du Guoxing came here to report a very difficult matter to Yunqing. When he saw Yuxi coming, his heart sank, and he said, "Madam, I just got the news that three people died of starvation in Fu County."

Yu Xi frowned and said: "It's May now, and Fu County is rich in resources. There are many mountains, forests and fields. It is impossible to starve to death if you only pick wild vegetables and fruits to eat? Is there any other reason for this?" Yuxi still believes that people will starve to death in winter or early spring and late autumn. Isn't it a joke to starve to death in this season.

Du Xingguo said: "Ma'am, this family of four consists of a widow and two children. The widow is not in good health. She was too sick to get out of bed some time ago, and the oldest of the two children is only five years old..." In this situation, No matter how many wild vegetables and fruits there are on the mountain, there is no way to pick them.

Yu Xi asked: "How did that woman's husband die?" Hearing that he died of illness, not battle, Yu Xi felt much relieved.

Du Xingguo thought that Yuxi would ask him how to solve it, but unfortunately he waited for a long time, only waiting for Yuxi to ask how much food the government has left. Du Xingguo said: "The government's granaries are basically empty, and all the grain that was searched and suppressed has been sent to the army."

After a moment of silence, Yu Xi asked, "How does Lord Du think this situation should be resolved?"

A clever woman can't cook without rice, Du Xingguo said: "Except for using part of the army rations, other methods will not work. However, I mentioned it to the general at the beginning, but the general did not agree."

Yu Xi frowned and said: "Why didn't the general agree?" Yun Qing is not the kind of cold-hearted person who waits to watch others die.

Du Xingguo shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either." At that time Yun Qing denied his suggestion but did not tell the reason.

Yuxi hesitated for a moment, and said: "If there is still food in the government's granary, we should first take this part of food out to help those who need it most. For the rest, let's figure out a way!" Everything has its own importance, Yunqing did not agree There must be a reason for giving up part of the military rations, and she will not demolish Yunqing's platform.

Du Xingguo was a little disappointed, he thought that Yuxi would say that he would persuade Yunqing to give up part of the military rations. Given how much Yunqing attaches importance to the Han family, maybe he will agree.

Yuxi said: "The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is barren. Now we encourage the people to open up more wasteland and reduce taxes. If the weather is good, we don't worry about the grain harvest. But if there is a drought, a year's hard work will be in vain."

Du Xingguo didn't dare to look directly at Yuxi, and lowered his eyes and said: "Drought is a natural disaster, and there is nothing we can do."

Yu Xi's complexion turned cold, and she said: "There is a lack of water in the northwest, so the most urgent task is to build water canals. In this way, even if there is a drought, as long as enough water canals are built, there will be no harvest." Yu Xi was talking about water canals, not water conservancy.

Du Xingguo suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuxi.

Yu Xi said lightly, "Governor Du, this is the first and last time." The next time is to just leave, but needless to say, I believe Du Xingguo knows it well. (to be continued)
