After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 394 News from the Homeland

Because the monarch also sent gifts, even if the dignitaries in the capital did not go in person, they all sent representatives to attend.

Similarly, those who can come here to participate in the treasure tree king's birthday ceremony are all political leaders from various places.

He Lingchuan scratched his head, there are so many "political leaders" in Baoshu Kingdom.He thought of his father's state capital. From top to bottom, there seemed to be less than 30 people including officials and officials, and all of them were operating at full capacity.

No way, what a poor person.

Although there will definitely be expansion in the future.

Now there are more than [-] officials here. He can't even imagine how many officials there are in each state capital of Baoshu Kingdom, how many are there in the county, what about the counties, and the townships?

Moreover, there are mostly human beings here, and all of them are well-dressed.

Obviously, the ability to manage places and handle affairs is still what people are best at.

After sitting down, Master Shi Er began to chat with the VIPs around him.

Those who can come here are either people in the officialdom or the business field. If you make more friends, you will have more paths in the future.

He Lingchuan took a sip of the tea, and it filled his throat with fluid. It was comparable to the Jasmine Dragon Ball that Marquis Songyang gave him, and it was quite expensive.

Jasmine Dragon Ball is a good tea from Songyang Hou's private house, but the tea here is for all the guests.

Two officials on the side are talking: "This is our Wuqing tea, called Wucha."

"I know. I'm from Ganzhou Prefecture. Wu tea is sold to other places every year for millions of catties. Of course, the quality is not as good as this."

"Oh, what a coincidence, I'm also from Ganzhou Prefecture!"

The two chatted about their relatives, and chatted about the chief officer.

He Lingchuan stuffed a crispy broad bean into his mouth and asked them, "You guys from the same state capital don't know each other?"

The official said: "If you ask Fa like this, it seems that you are not from Baoshu Country?"

He Lingchuan smiled: "It's not true."

"I'm from Ganzhou Beifu."

Another said: "I'm from Nanfu, Ganzhou. It's fifty miles apart, and we don't usually work together, how can I recognize you?"

"The capital of a state is divided into north and south?" He Lingchuan was slightly surprised, "Excuse me, how many people are there in each of the northern and southern states?"

"We have a fixed staff of 320 in Beifu."

"Nanfu is less, about 800 or so."

So there are more than 100 officials in Ganzhou Prefecture?With little knowledge, He Lingchuan couldn't help but snap his tongue: "How many counties are there in Ganzhou?"

"One hundred and two counties in eight counties." The official sighed, "The miscellaneous tasks are piled up like a mountain, and I can't finish them in a day."

He Lingchuan counted and found that Xiazhou has six counties under its jurisdiction, a total of 98 counties.But the number of officials in Xiazhou Prefecture is less than one percent of that in Ganzhou Prefecture of Baoshu Kingdom!

Seeing that He Lingchuan was shocked, another official from another foreign country coughed lightly: "Ganzhou is relatively small, and there are more East and West prefectures in Zizhou."

A state is so big, but also divided into east, west, north, and south prefectures? "There are over ten thousand officials in Zizhou?"

"Naturally." The official said with a smile, "When the new year's goods are distributed, Zizhou is the busiest place. Those who line up late have to wait from morning to night."

He Lingchuan's eyes rolled: "Since there are so many jobs, can the state governments make arrangements?"

The so-called dispatch is outsourcing.

There are only more than 30 officials in the Xiazhou government. Even if He Chunhua arrests his youngest son as a volunteer, he still can't do a lot of paperwork, so he outsources the work that does not involve confidentiality, and the state government spends money to find someone to do it.

These do not receive salaries, but additional labor hired by the state government, and even the guards and grooms receive this money.

This move was not created by He Chunhua, it has existed for a long time.

Of course, the money paid for outsourcing is much less than that of formal work.

The official nodded: "Of course there are. Without these people, how can the work be done?"

Public affairs are all outsourced, and the state government needs to support more than 6000 officials?He Lingchuan was sighing, and this man squinted at him: "What's your opinion, little brother?"

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "I just feel sorry for your country's wealth and treasures. Such a big country is not easy to run, but the people are still so rich." The treasure tree country is prosperous, otherwise how can it afford to support so many officials?

Officials are not bare-bones commanders who work alone.Then you have to match your subordinates, take care of food and drink, and have carriages and horses when you go out.

Firewood in winter and iced drinks in summer will be converted into money if not given in kind.

A set of people is full of expenses everywhere.

The two chatted again, Shi Erdang pulled He Lingchuan's sleeve, and said in a low voice:
"I went to Ganzhou Prefecture to do business, and it was a big private matter. Twelve chapters had to be stamped before and after. Hehe, Baoshu Country's characteristics. Routine affairs are done quickly, but extra things can't be done. !"

He Lingchuan wondered: "Isn't it like this in other demon kingdoms?"

"I have been to nine demon kingdoms in total." Master Shi Er shook his head, "Baoshu Kingdom has the most officials. Anyway, they can afford to support them, and they don't need others to worry about them."

He Lingchuan has good eyesight. At this time, he saw Sha Taifu standing in the main hall from a distance, with a solemn expression, talking with someone.

The veranda is built along the lake. After He Lingchuan is seated, he only needs to lean slightly, which is equivalent to hanging on the lake.

Looking down from his point of view, the lake is so clear that it seems as if you can see the tangled roots at the bottom of the lake, where countless fish and shrimp live happily.

He Lingchuan looked at the giant tree in the lake.

In other words, its root system has actually firmly controlled the entire lake, leaving no gaps?
How does such a silent tree talk to people?
He Lingchuan was even more curious about how King Baoshu fought against the enemy?
The thirteen demon kings of the Bega Kingdom are all well-known great demons, and they rely on their strength to rise to the top.King Baoshu is the oldest, so he must have extraordinary means to keep the country's long-term peace and stability.

At this time, the audience was singing the news of the envoys present. For a while, it was "the envoy of Suluo Kingdom has arrived", and for a while it was "the envoy of Chiyan Kingdom has arrived", He Lingchuan listened with great interest.

For the birthday of King Treasure Tree, other demon kingdoms sent envoys to celebrate his birthday. It is said that the envoys of Sula Kingdom, which is located in the northwest of Bega, had already left forty days before arriving as scheduled.

The envoys of various countries, some are human beings, some are monsters, but they usually look imposing.After all, he is an envoy, representing the country's tolerance, first of all, he should not show weakness on the outside.

The Yao Kingdom is like this, walking around on the main road, you can meet all kinds of ghosts and monsters.

When He Lingchuan turned his head, he happened to hear the caller shouting "The envoy of Shanyu Kingdom has arrived", and subconsciously glanced at it, his eyes were fixed:
Among the envoys of Shanyu Kingdom, there is actually a giant white python!
The body of the python is snow-white, with ring-shaped spots on it, which is really beautiful.

But this, this is indeed somewhat similar to the giant python killed by Fushan, the deputy envoy of the Qiling Kingdom.

Don't blame him for admitting his mistake.

He Lingchuan felt that the demon king of Shanyu Kingdom was really interesting. Although this country is rich in raptors, a snake demon was used as an emissary.

Of course, the giant python looked healthy, obviously Fushan hadn't troubled him yet.

After presenting the gift, the mission entered the apse and sat down. He Lingchuan obviously found that there were more guards around them.

After the government office got the information from him, on the one hand, it stepped up the search and arrest of Fushan, and on the other hand, it must strengthen the protection of the envoys of Shanyu Kingdom.

During King Baoshu's [-]th birthday, if envoys from friendly countries were killed on his territory, it would be a great shame and shame.

Right now, Baiyun Residence seems to be full of joy, but it is actually heavily guarded. If anyone dares to take the opportunity to make trouble here, they will be chopped into meat immediately.

He Lingchuan didn't meet anyone from Taifu's residence all day today, so it's not clear whether Fushan was captured or not.

But he had a feeling in his heart that this person was comparable to Xiaoqiang, and he might not be caught easily.

Of course, his attention is now on Jumu, and other people have to worry about security.

There have been conversations with officials nearby, all of which are local and official trifles. He didn't listen carefully, but a familiar name was mentioned in the words of two people:

Hong Chenglue.

He Lingchuan's heart moved, he leaned over and cupped his hands and said, "Are you two talking about General Hong?"

"That's right." The two looked back, and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a strange face, "You are?"

He Lingchuan showed his token: "I'm from Taifu's Mansion to watch the ceremony."

The attitude of these two people immediately became enthusiastic: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

What He Lingchuan took out was the silver plaque specially made by the Taifu Mansion for this ceremony. It is both a passing order and an invitation card. Those who can receive this are the distinguished guests of the mansion.

"My family has an old relationship with General Hong. I heard that he retired for many years and came out of the mountains again to fight in Yuan Country. I would like to ask you two, how is General Hong doing?"

"That's what we're talking about." An official said, "Hong Chenglue was appointed by Shuangye Guoshi again to support the general of the Yuan Kingdom on the northern line of the Yuan Kingdom. What is it called, uh, Xun..."

"Praise for the New Year in Xunzhou?"

"That's right, a tribute to the New Year!" The official nodded repeatedly, "It is said that the battle by the river bank destroyed the enemy, and more than 3 Li Yuan soldiers were killed or injured."

The torrential flood brought about by the New Year's Ceremony destroyed Zhao Pan's barracks and destroyed Yuan's army, so it would be strange if they didn't lose.He Lingchuan hasn't figured out until now, how did he use such a heaven-defying method?

That's far beyond human reach.If battles can be fought like that, wouldn't Beka be invincible and invincible in the world?

His throat was a little dry, and he couldn't help coughing lightly: "And then?"

"Yuan Kingdom was probably scared to death, and sent people to discuss peace with Nian Zan, but all the envoys sent were beheaded by Nian." The official said, "I heard that there is also a war in the west of Yuan Kingdom, and the two sides are tight."

"Where is the New Year's ceremony now?" Thinking of Mrs. Ying's carefully arranged new home, He Lingchuan's heart tightened, "How far is it from Dunyu, the capital of Xiazhou?"

"Do you know the capital of Xiazhou?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan nodded, "I went there with my family, it's a good place."

Hanhe was defeated, and Zhao Pan, the coach, was responsible, but He Chunhua was also on the front line at that time, bringing the elite of Xiazhou Mansion with him.

You can say anything if you win, but if you lose...everything will be against you if you lose.

The foundation laid by He Chunhua in the past, and the prestige he has finally established among the army and civilians in Xiazhou will definitely be greatly damaged.

Conscription, food collection, and making money are all more difficult.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is the iron hoof of the enemy in the north, which is encroaching on the territory of the governor of Xiazhou.

Under such circumstances, what can He Chunhua do to keep the southern part of Xiazhou and Dunyu?

　12.29.I don't have a penis yet, but my 98-year-old grandma is! !
Apart from poor knee joints and a congenital heart disease that was discovered at the age of 70, there is no other underlying disease.

Currently under intensive care.The whole family is very worried, and hope that the old man can survive the catastrophe safely and live a prosperous life.
