Han Tuo nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "Handan City is an ancient capital for hundreds of years, and the surrounding area is also a first-class lush land. The registered population of one county is 50,000 to 60,000, not to mention the wealthy families. Servants have been living here for a long time, and businessmen and tourists are constantly coming and going. In my opinion, the actual population of Handan is not more than 70,000 or 80,000, but it is close to it...The imperial court has entrusted such an important place to you, and I hope Wenqi can advance and retreat appropriately so that he can take care of himself."

Gongsun Xun was moved in his heart, but he didn't say anything and just said goodbye.

As Han Tuo said, the lushness of Handan City is not comparable to that of Liaodong. When riding a horse on the street, Gongsun Xun even had the illusion that this place was actually more lively than Luoyang... This is not without reason, because The latter soon discovered that the folk customs here were quite extravagant. Rich businessmen and wealthy families came and went, and everyone in the big households cheered in front of them. Servants lined up in front of them holding lanterns. The big families facing the street even opened their doors and opened their courtyards. It was revealed that singers, dancers, wealthy guests, relatives and friends all came and went in and out of the courtyard without hesitation.

Spring and summer come together, Handan is glitzy, bustling with people, and lights are scattered everywhere.

In other words, people in this place obviously care more about enjoying life, and the folk customs are more open. Unlike the emperor's feet, everyone has to follow rules in everything. And it seems that the concept of inns and restaurants has not spread from Liaodong. , otherwise it should be even more lively.

In fact, while walking back to the county temple along the way, Gongsun Xun had already noticed that there were many people behind him who were distracted by the flashy scenery in front of them. Even Liu Deran, who had been in the Gou family and was a guest at this time, was He felt a little fixated...but he didn't bother to pay attention to it. You must know that Gongsun Xun has given him the opportunity. Those who can keep up will naturally follow. If you can't keep up, then it's up to you.

Anyway, in the next few years, Gongsun Xun is determined to make a name for himself as a Dianli county in this prosperous place in the mainland. He will accumulate fame, enrich his wings, manage contacts, and hone his abilities. In a few years, he will be the leader of the world. Make a big move, and then take advantage of the trend. Those who can't keep up in the middle can naturally be thrown aside at will when they get promoted.

Not to mention Gongsun Xun's gentle thoughts, but when he entered the county temple and was about to freshen up to get rid of the dust and alcohol on his body, Wang Xiu, who was staying in the county temple, suddenly came out... In other words, Wang Shuzhi was indeed He is a real person. As soon as he entered Handan City, he first brought people to help take over the county temple. He did not go to visit Xiang Xu before. Later, Gongsun Xun was upset by the slippery Zhao Ping and went directly to the banquet. He was also the one who stayed here to deal with the case from beginning to end, which can be regarded as a hard-working and uncomplaining one.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Zhi." Gongsun Xun had already taken off his coat, but he still came to the door in person, patted the other party's shoulder, and let this capable official into the bedroom. "Let's talk about it after we come in... But Zhao Ping from before What else is there about the case with Qin’s daughter?”

"Return to the prince." Wang Xiu responded seriously as he caught up with his prince and entered the room. "There is nothing superfluous to say about the previous case. Qin's daughter has been taken back by her family, and Zhao Ping just ran away in person. I came here and paid the fine... What I want to say is that I just checked some of the household account books and found that there were many obvious omissions and errors in both the financial and land areas."

"There are many mistakes and omissions?" Gongsun Xun asked back, but he didn't show much surprise.

"Exactly, there are problems everywhere, from tax collection to land transactions, from law and order enforcement to corvee distribution."

"For example?"

"For example, last year, the county was deported to Changpingcang in the county..."

Just when the two were about to talk about the matter in detail, suddenly, there was a noise in the front yard of the official temple, as if the Yiconong who had temporarily crowded into the official temple were shouting about something, which made Gongsun Xun's face darken... Just now On the way, he felt that the number of these righteous followers would be mixed, but now it seemed that these people had revealed their true colors too quickly.

But soon, as the leaders of Yi Zhong, such as Wei Yue, Yang Kai, Qian Zhao and others, took the initiative to report after calming down the situation, Gongsun Xun, who knew the whole story, was able to understand these young warriors.

"King Zhao sent the world-famous dancing girl from Zhao?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sneered. "As an apology for the previous rudeness?"

"yes!"

"Since it's a good intention, bring it in and let me take a look." Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly. "If there are too many, I will give some to you as wives. Anyway, I don't have much room to dance here..."

Han Dang, Lu Fan, and Lou Gui are not here, and Wei Yue, who is now the most senior in Yi Zhong, is a somewhat out-of-touch womanizer. It is clear that the beautiful little widow in the family will come with the mistress's motorcade soon, and Ming Ming Yi Zhong is coming.

There were too many single people, and it was not his turn to be happy, but at this moment he was the most excited, and he was the first to run out to lead the way. Yang Kai, Qian Zhao and others had no choice but to withdraw in embarrassment.

You can’t get on the stage! Gongsun Xun cursed in his heart, but he was ready to continue discussing the previous topic with Wang Xiu.

However, as soon as the topic started again, Wei Yue called at the door again: "Jun Hou, I'm afraid I can't fit it in your bedroom... Please come out to the yard and take a look!"

Gongsun Xun and Wang Xiu looked at each other, obviously helpless, but they could only come out to check, and it was only then that the former realized that he had indeed underestimated King Zhao's handiwork.

"How many people are here?" Facing the darkness in front of him, even Gongsun Xun was a little stunned for a moment.

"There should be 48 people." Wang Xiu blurted out from the side. "The prince is a marquis, and there are six princes... But these are just dancing girls, there should be some people playing music."

Gongsun Xun immediately realized that there were eight emperors, six princes, and eight people in each, so naturally there were forty-eight people in six.

"Those who bring music instruments will be divided into two pieces and sent to Cao Aman of Pei State. The rest will be selected as righteous servants and those who are not yet married, based on their seniority and age, and will be rewarded. They can become wives and concubines as they wish..." Gongsun Xun almost said

He immediately made a decision. No matter how famous the Zhao Guo dancer was, he would not be fooled by the beauty of Ququ.

And if we really talk about female sex, the healthy and lovely Qin girl this afternoon is worse than the ones in front of us, so it is better to go out and win people's hearts.

Sure enough, as soon as this statement came out, these followers, who had been traveling hard for nearly a month and had basically not touched a woman for a long time, also cheered.

"It's all gone," Gongsun Xun shouted when he saw this, and drove all these people and the dancers out. "Qianzhao, Yang Kai and Wei Yue have made the decision. Go to the front yard to discuss this matter. Don't disturb me.

Talk to Shuzhi!"

The backyard suddenly became quiet.

"The wine and meat in the Zhumen stinks, and bones are frozen to death on the road." As soon as Gongsun Xunfu returned to the house, he couldn't help but taunted King Zhao with his disgust. "The dancing girls of Handan are famous all over the world, and the witches of Xiang are also famous all over the world, but only five of Zhao's

Although there are two cities in the world that are famous for their women, is this a good thing? If a decent family can marry a normal woman and have children, who would want to be a dancing girl or a witch? Isn’t it because the family is miserable and has no way to survive?

Are you going to sell your children?! A place that is famous for its women should feel shameful. It’s ridiculous that King Zhao, as the king of a local vassal, is actually proud of this?!"

Wang Xiu stared at the person in front of him and became angry, but said nothing.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Gongsun Xun was stared at by Wang Xiu. He thought that the other party thought he was rude, so he quickly changed the subject. "There are many errors and omissions in the account book just mentioned. Na Shuzhi felt that there were many errors and omissions in the account book.

Do you have more to do with the previous county magistrate or do you have more to do with local officials?"

"It's probably an old mistake." Wang Xiu took a long breath and replied. "It shouldn't have much to do with the previous Lingjun... But I'm afraid that Lingjun was just like our current Prime Minister.

, I just don’t want to get involved in these common affairs.”

In just half a day, even Wang Xiu knew Xiang Xu's 'style'.

"That's it." Gongsun Xun sat on the couch and sighed with his head lowered. "In the past, when we were in Liaodong, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and all the governance strategies Zibo mentioned were quite hollow. But Handan has been a prosperous place for hundreds of years, and it lives in the mountains and rivers.

In the Fumao land between them, there are many powerful families, fighting for the rich and powerful, but the common people can only sell their sons and daughters to become a dancer in Zhaodu. This kind of land-based and population-based thing is probably inevitable."

Wang Xiu nodded immediately.

"Does Shuzhi know?" Gongsun Xun said with a sneer. "When I came out of the palace before, Han Gong, the master of the country, once reminded me because his nephew was a classmate of mine. It probably meant that the local aristocratic family was rich and powerful, so I could do my best.

…I don’t know if this is trying to persuade me to take out the knife and kill the killer, and fix it, but you want me to be like the light and avoid causing trouble? Anyway, I didn’t understand.”

"Why should you care about other people's opinions?" Wang Xiuxiu persuaded with a seductive look. "For one duty, to perform one duty, to do one thing, and to bear one responsibility. The duty of the imperial concubine is to advise King Zhao and supervise the palace's civility. He is willing to remind him.

It is a kindness that goes beyond the duty; and the duty of the monarch is to take charge of the government affairs of the entire Handan, and it is your duty to deal with these people..."

Gongsun Xun nodded slightly.

"Besides," Wang Xiu continued to persuade. "Let's do things seriously according to the original plan. If what you do does not violate the law and morality, then if you encounter anyone who blocks the way at this time, you will

We should not care about the identity and power of the other party, but should simply let go and cut them off! After all, the emperor killed Wangfu in the center, deposed the eunuchs, destroyed the royal court in the northern border, and destroyed Goguryeo. Is it now the time?

Does our little Handan still want to save face for some lawless and powerful families?"

"If Zhengnan were here, I might have some quarrels with you." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh. "Of course, I understand what Shuzhi means... It's just that you, Shuzhi, have underestimated me. Why am I doing this?

Are people in trouble because of their power? The reason why I am worried is because Xiang Xu lost his position and Zhao Ping was naughty. In addition, King Zhao and his subordinates lived in the palace for a long time and did not seem to have exceeded their authority... So I started to do something

I have lost my mind, and now I don’t even think clearly about where the authority of the country lies! Tell me, if this is Zi Heng, Zheng Nan and the others come back and find me so confused, will they think that I am a prince?

Is there some incompetence?"

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking." Wang Xiu immediately shook his head, but then suddenly suggested seriously. "I don't know much about political intrigue, but I have a stupid way."

"you say."

"As long as you take the initiative to take over power, the powerful people will naturally jump out..."

Gongsun Xun laughed again: "Shuzhi really hates evil and likes to contain the strong and support the weak... I understand that there are people from Yi Zhong who have good family backgrounds and are both civilized and military. There are also people who have learned arithmetic in Amway. You can choose among them at will.

Then go across the county and directly check the account books and arrest the criminals. Whether they are county officials or large households in the county, or if they involve county officials, you can take people at will... I will take care of everything!"

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!" Wang Xiu bowed his hands and was about to leave, but as soon as he took two steps, he suddenly turned back. "Your Majesty..."

"What?" Gongsun Xun, who had just taken off his silk shoes and put on wooden clogs, was immediately confused.

"It's not that I like to contain the strong and support the weak," Wang Xiuli said in a loud voice at the door. "This is what I have seen since I was a child. In today's world, many strong people do not love themselves, and the weak have nothing to depend on!"

Gongsun Xun was startled for a moment, then stood up wearing wooden clogs and saluted seriously to the subordinate in front of him: "I will definitely bear in mind what Shuzhi said today."

————————I am the dividing line of eight people dancing in the court——————

"In the past, Taizu moved to Handan with the order of Tinghou, and the prefectures and counties looked at him... As soon as he took office, within a day, he visited the prime minister and became depressed, and saw the king of Zhao and became angry. When he returned to the county temple, the officials offered official duties, and they looked at him with anger.

The left and right were confused, so Taizu said: "The prime minister is incompetent, the king has no virtue, and the official affairs are chaotic. How can the government of a country end up like this?" Wang Shuzhi was standing by and resisted, saying: "You will eat your salary and bear your responsibilities, and the king will wait for you."

At this point, everyone is busy. Isn’t it time for a man to do something? Taizu liked his words and stood up to worship him." - "Xin Yan Shu". Volume 71, Biographies 21
