The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 406
Because it was winter, Xiao Chuo couldn't go back immediately, and stayed with Dahan for two full months, until the weather gradually warmed up in early spring, before he could go back by boat.

This time she simply did not take the water route, and went directly to Yuezhou, then returned to Jiaozhou by land, and then went north by water to return to Xiangyang.The process is three to five days slower than going by water, but by the way, you can inspect the construction of Yuezhou and Jiaozhou.

Surprisingly, Yan Song did a pretty good job as governor of Yuezhou.Yuezhou was the first place to start reforms. The whole state no longer had counties, and after being broken up, it was divided into cities. The county guards were changed to mayors, and two to three counties were unified.As a result, the power of the original county guard has been greatly reduced, and the cost of one party who wants to separate the regime has been greatly increased, but the difficulty of governance has also decreased.

In turn, the governor's work will increase, so the number of subordinate officials has to be increased appropriately.The problems exposed by the reform have been highlighted one after another. It is rare that Yan Song has all the records. Please Xiao Chuo take them back to Xiangyang and hand them over to His Majesty the Emperor of Chu.

"This is the talent of a prime minister!" Xiao Chuo carefully checked Yan Song's work progress during this period, and commented on him in his heart.

In other words, Yan Song seriously implemented and experimented with the reform of the political system that Shi Hui was most concerned about. This happened to scratch Shi Hui's itch, and it was aimed at this. His future political potential will definitely not be low.

In history, Emperor Jiajing liked the way of longevity and loves Qingci, so Yan Song studied it hard to win the position.Yan Song, in this time and space, sees that Shi Hui likes reform and external expansion, so he also likes it and studies it seriously.Anyone can do what they like, but if you can do it well, that is your skill.

After Xiao Chuo read Yan Song's reform proposal that night, he didn't dare to underestimate him.Her goal is also to become the first female prime minister, so Yan Song may be an obstacle on this road. The key is that he is already a governor, and he is only a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. Fortunately, next year he will go to various ministries to practice and gradually climb up .

There is nothing to worry about in Yuezhou, most of them are recruited people, they are safe and conscientious.For the county magistrates and mayors in various places, the biggest problem is probably the people's livelihood. People's problems and public security issues don't need to be considered at all. It can be said that it is very easy to be a county magistrate or mayor in such a wild place.

Leaving Yuezhou and entering Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou under Shiyan's governance is also full of vitality.Shi Qian didn't have much talent, so it was really difficult for him to govern a state.But the key to him is that he has a gentle personality, and at the same time knows how to delegate power, let the right people do the right things, and he is no worse than Shi Hui in terms of knowing and employing people.

"Fortunately, it's His Majesty's elder brother..." Xiao Chuo nodded as he watched Jiaozhou become more and more prosperous under Shiyan's leadership.This time she went back by land, and one of her tasks was to inspect the situation in the two states during the reform period.

Continue northward and enter the four counties of Jingnan. The three counties of Guiyang, Lingling and Wuling are filled with a large number of people, a large amount of wasteland has been developed, and many forest areas have begun to become plains or have been tamed.Except for the virgin forests and nature reserves that have been preserved according to the requirements of Shi Hui, most of them have become suitable environments for human habitation.

"Although this is not a pilot site, the prefect has done his duty and the people have worked hard. In a few years, it has become as good as Yangzhou. Some counties have even reached the level of prosperity in the Central Plains!" Xiao Chuo nodded, very satisfied with the result.

There are hard-working people, suitable officials, a suitable system, and the supervision of Jin Yiwei, so that some major problems can be suppressed. After the first generation of development, the second generation continues to accumulate, and the third generation can start to enjoy the blessings.

Maybe new problems will arise then, but that's at least 30 years away.

Only after entering Changsha, Xiao Chuo felt a different atmosphere.Although it is as prosperous here, it does not seem to be as lively as other states and counties.The people were in a hurry, and seemed to have some concerns.In some counties, business seems to be sluggish, mainly due to the obvious decrease in self-employed people.

"How could this happen?" Xiao Chuo couldn't believe it. This is the "Land of Prosperity of Dragons" in Dachu, and under Fang Xuanling's governance, it was once very prosperous!

Wanting to know the specific situation, Xiao Chuo decided to find someone to ask about the situation, but everyone hesitated to speak, as if they were avoiding something.This problem is even more serious here in Linxiang, let her understand that the root of the matter may be here.

She didn't find Shi Gan, even though he was Shi Hui's younger brother, and at the same time, according to the rules, he was named King of Changsha.After becoming a vassal king, Changsha County will automatically become the Changsha Kingdom, and Xiang Lang will automatically become the Prime Minister.

"Xiaoer, I want to ask you something!" Xiao Chuo came to the inn in plain clothes, and then the host came to the room, and then called the waiter to the room and gave him a silver coin.

Even if it is a silver coin, it is a good income for the waiter in the shop, his attitude changed a lot immediately, and he said with a smile: "Guest officer, it's okay to say it!"

"What's the situation in Changsha County today? Why is everyone in a hurry, and the market seems to be depressed?" Xiao Chuo asked in a low voice, "If you answer well, there will be a reward!"

After speaking, she took out a gold coin and made gestures in front of the waiter.It has to be said that although the waiter in the shop showed a embarrassed expression when he heard the words, when he saw the gold coin, he subconsciously swallowed again.

After weighing it up, he said slowly: "After the prefect became the king of Changsha, I don't know who listened to the bewitchment, and 'doing business' with the family, annexed a lot of fields and shops, and many people became tenants."

"Why haven't these things been reported to the police, or the people from Jinyiwei have dealt with them?" Xiao Chuo couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

"Those aristocratic families are all old powers in Changsha. Through their marriage in the past few years, they have established contact with local officials. The officials protect each other, and the King of Changsha is on top. Naturally, they are not afraid of being known by anyone. They also came forward to buy the newspaper. Let them report this matter, so that the outside world does not know. As for Jin Yiwei, several important officials, I am afraid they have been corrupted." The waiter said in a low voice, "Guest officer, it is forbidden to talk about these things here. Little ones won't admit these words."

"Very good, this is your reward!" Xiao Chuo nodded, then took out a gold coin and handed it to him.

She knew that this place was no longer a place to stay for a long time, but in order to understand the specific situation, she stayed in Changsha for a few days before returning to Xiangyang with accurate information and handing over her achievements.

The big man agreed to form an alliance with the big Chu to deal with foreign countries. Shi Hui was very satisfied with this matter. Xiao Chuo's diplomatic skills are very good. In fact, she has shown better talent in military and politics. She may serve in the Ministry of War in the future. It was reserved for her.

Yan Song's reform ideas made him a little excited. This is indeed the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he is nicknamed "Prime Minister of Qingci", it cannot be denied that others are really talented.And Jiaozhou under Shiyan's governance also made him feel at ease.

When he finally saw the situation in Changsha County, he fell on the desk immediately, and then looked at Xiao Chuo: "Really?"

"Follow-up ministers have unannounced visits to several counties, and the situation is true!" Xiao Chuo was not afraid of being punished by Shi Hui at all, so he went forward calmly.

"Send Jin Yiwei elites to investigate, don't scare the snakes, if the situation is true..." Shi Hui clenched his fists when he said this, "Even if you are a brother, you can't be kind! Just take this opportunity to reform the vassal system Bar!"
