Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 605
Fengle County

The sun was setting, and the glowing rays of light illuminated half of the sky. Under the protection of the two guards of the Forbidden Army in front of the palace, Su Zhao's car finally arrived in Fengle County again after half a year.

The governor of Fengle County, Zou Yi led the Chinese and military officials of the county, and the county gentry out of the city to the Daozuo Xianghou. Obviously, they learned the lesson of being reprimanded by the Marquis Su when the governor of Changshui County greeted them ten miles away from the county town.

"The ministers, the humble officials, etc. have seen Suhou."

Following the sound of greetings, Su Zhao turned over from the saddle, looked up at Zou Yi and all the civil and military personnel from Fengle County, stepped forward a few steps, helped Zou Yi up, and said with a smile: "Zou Qing, get up, everyone. You are also flat."

"Thank you Suhou."

With the sound of thanking thanks, the officials and generals of Fengle County who were kneeling and waiting for each other got up.

Su Zhaowen said: "How long has Zou Qing been waiting here?"

Zou Yi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it hasn't been long, and I have been asking Tanma to report to you to drive, and I never waited for a long time to delay my business."

Su Zhao couldn't help laughing, and said: "Gu Zhi Zou Qing is a person who understands the importance, let's go, let's go to the city."

"Please, Your Majesty." Zou Yi bowed to invite, but he was quietly relieved.

Going out of the city to greet each other too far is not enough. To mobilize teachers and mobilize the crowd, it is easy to be reprimanded by young princes and princes, but if you don’t go out to welcome, sit in the office and watch business as usual.

At that time, it is even more fatal, and this risk cannot be taken.

Su Zhao entered the city of Fengle County, followed by the chariots and the army of imperial guards, and entered one by one, and the officials of Fengle County Xianghou also entered the city.

In the county town, the road had already been padded with loess and clear water was sprinkled on the street. Fortunately, Zou Yi didn't mobilize some people to greet him by the roadside. Apparently, the prefects of Changshui and Dang counties were reprimanded.

In the carriage, Su Zijin lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the shops on the street. Xiaoshui Yiyi's eyes showed emotion, and she said to Yue Xin who was beside her: "The prosperity of Fengle County is not inferior to that of Wenyi."

Yue Xin smiled and said, "After all, it is the largest county in Su."

Outside the carriage, Fan Xiao sat on the saddle with a sword hanging from his waist. He was wearing a black and red satin brocade robe embroidered with a unicorn patch. The elegant and graceful face set off Lirui's snow-white appearance, but she was dressed in a capable and free-spirited bodyguard attire, but she was brave and heroic.

Fan Xiao looked at the young prince in front of him who was holding the horse with one hand and chatting and laughing with Zou Yi with the other, his bright eyes flickered with obsession.

This Fengle County was the place where she and Su Zhao met for the first time. Now that she revisited the old place, recalling the past when she was captured by mistake, her heart felt shy, but also gave birth to an unspeakable sweetness.

Su Zhaodao: "Zou Qing, has the implementation of the new land policy in the counties of Fengle County been going smoothly in the past few months?"

Zou Yi said: "Go back to your lord. In the counties and counties, the prestige of the county is quite cooperative with the new policy. The land is sold off. Fengle County has initially cleared the acres of land and settled the household registration in detail. I will invite you to look at it later."

Su Zhao encouraged and said: "Fengle County has always been the financial and taxation center of the three counties in southern Jiangsu. This county is rich in natural resources and outstanding people. If Fengle County implements the New Deal smoothly, our Dasu New Deal will be implemented just around the corner. If Fengle County implements The New Deal has been greatly discounted, and the effectiveness of the New Deal will never be guaranteed. My Great Su King's plan to dominate is just empty talk. Therefore, the burden on Zou Qing is very heavy."

Zou Yi heard the words, her heart was agitated, and she said in a loud voice: "Since I took over the post, I am afraid that I will not be able to handle the errands. I have Gu Jun's kindness. Fortunately, I am diligent and diligent. The people also know righteousness. Although there are ups and downs, they are still in order."

Su Zhao nodded.

While talking all the way, the monarch and his ministers headed for the county government office.

Su Zhao checked the official documents submitted by the civil affairs, criminal names, culture and education departments of the county, and compared them with the information collected from other sources. On the whole, Fengle County is worthy of being the richest county in the country of Su. After the land reform, the population Release, live and work in peace.

As for the original prestige of the county, although the interests were damaged, the business of the store was maintained, and overall, the family business was able to maintain itself.

"That's right. Ordinary people who are honest and self-sufficient are farming in the fields. If you have the ability, you can do business. After doing business, don't think about buying a lot of land or becoming a big landlord. The country will pass commercial taxes, etc. In this way, under the commodity economy, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are all at peace.”

Su Zhao put down the scroll in his hand, his face contemplating.

In fact, his current innovation strategy is much softer than the three major reforms. Now it can only be said to be "equalization of land rights" and "control of large capital."

If you are doing business, you can wear silk and satin, but don’t annex the land and give ordinary people a way of life. This is the foundation of governance-the basic disk.

Then, supplemented by property tax mediation, the long-term stability of the dynasty can be maintained to the greatest extent.

"Your Majesty, hold the lamp."

At this time, Zou Yi, who was standing respectfully below, took a lamp from the little official, put it on the arched table, and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess and the concubine have arrived at the other garden of the Wu family. Someone is calling."

Su Zhao was surprised, "Wu Family?"

Zou Yi smiled and said: "The county government office is dilapidated and small, and it is unbearable to be honored by your lord. Previously, Wu Deben, the head of the Wu family, said that his family's other garden is quiet and unique, grand and spacious, which can be honored by your lord. Your lord also lived in it last time. passed."

There is a saying that officials do not repair government offices. Of course, the county government office in Fengle County is not dilapidated, but it is not as magnificent as the other gardens in the prefecture.

Su Zhao pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "It turned out to be the Wu family. Last time Gu lived in the Wu family's Bieyuan."

Zou Yi said: "Your Majesty, do you want to move?"

Su Zhao nodded, and said, "Let's take these criminal name files and income and expenditure account books with you, and go back to read them alone."

His inspections of counties and counties are not for the pleasure of watching flowers on horseback, but for the civil affairs, judiciary, culture, education, and wealth of the counties and counties.

With his current Daoism in Guiyang Realm, he can understand it in a very short time with a sweep of his spiritual thoughts. It is almost impossible for county magistrates to deceive others.

"Promise." Zou Yi took the order and ordered the little official to carry the box containing the files and ledgers to the Wu Family Garden.

Samurai Garden
In the flower hall, Su Zijin's personal maid, Shao Yao, commanded several accompanying maids to carry Su Zijin's daily belongings.

For example, when Su Zijin went out, there were many maids from Yuhua Palace who accompanied her. As for Yue Xin who was pregnant with Liujia, the maids were indispensable.

Su Zijin was talking to a woman in a green skirt.

"How old is Miss Wu?" Su Zijin asked.

Wu Xianzhi sat quietly at the side, raised her head, looked at the woman opposite her with bright eyes, and said softly, "Return to Your Highness, I just turned seventeen this year."

Su Zijin smiled and said, "It's about the same age as Bengong."

"How many years have you been learning the art of playing the piano?" Su Zijin asked again.

Wu Xianzhi said: "I have been learning the piano since I was seven years old. So far, it has been ten years."

Su Zijin said: "No wonder Qin Yi is so proficient. Speaking of it, Qin Yi is as good as Sister Yue Xin."

Yue Xin was a few years older than Su Zijin, and the two traveled south in a carriage. Their relationship was not as alien as when Yue Xin first entered the palace. After the two became more harmonious, they became known as sisters.

Of course, from Su Zhao's point of view, Yue Xin would still call Su Zijin a sister.

"Sister, I'm back." With a calm expression, Su Zhao walked to the entrance of the flower hall, handed a road lantern to the handsome and glamorous Fan Xiao, and called inside.

While speaking, Su Zhao had already entered the hall, and when he saw Wu Xianzhi, he was stunned.

"Minister Wu Xianzhi, I met Marquis Su." Wu Xianzhi got up from the stool and gave Su Zhao a graceful salute.

Seeing this, Su Zhao came back to his senses and joked with a smile: "Miss Wu, please stand up, you are still a guest, you are the owner of this place, and you don't need to pay a respectful visit."

Wu Xianzhi raised her head, and the bright candlelight reflected a beautiful and quiet face that was fair and soft, and said in a clear voice: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, the place where the women of the people stand, is also the country of Su? Su Hou is the owner of this land."

Hearing this, Su Zhao shook his head and laughed, and pointed out something: "It is said that Wu Deben gave birth to a good daughter, who is proficient in poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But this is clever and clever, but he saw it."
