The lobby is particularly bright.

Liu Taozi sat in the upper position, with the prefects of Sanggan, Fanzhi, Mayi, Guangning and other counties on the left and right.

These ministers who could make the tremble in the local area were sitting next to Liu Taozi, and their faces were actually flattering.

Their grade is much higher than Liu Taozi, but the grade of this civil and military officer position cannot be compared.

What's more, given what happened today, I'm afraid that the first-rank ministers would not dare to be too rude to Liu Taozi, and the little old lady in Yecheng was staring at her!!

Yi Louhao raised the wine cup in his hand and looked at everyone with a smile, "Everyone, General Liu is really giving him enough face to come today. For General Liu, let's drink a drink first, how about?"

Several people hurriedly got up and all agreed.

Liu Taozi looked at them coldly. The atmosphere that had just improved became quiet because of Liu Taozi. Yi Louhao looked at Liu Taozi who couldn't stand up, smiled awkwardly, and sat down again. The same was true for the rest of the people, and they didn't know what to say.

Wei Jiong looked at them and said, "General Liu, you said that Wuchuan was expanded without wood, so is it enough now?"

Yi Louhao was stunned and hurriedly said, "Does Wuchuan need wood? Oh, why don't General Liu tell me? I can still help!"

Liu Taozi then looked at him, "There is no shortage of wood, but people."

"Oh? Who is missing?"

"Lack of scholars."

"Oh, scholar?"

"No, it's fine for those who can read books and recognize words."

"This is easy to deal with!"

Yi Louhao waved his hand, "There are so many scattered officials in my yamen, which exceeds the specifications. I'm worried about how to reduce it. Just like there is a shortage of people in Wuchuan, why don't I send them there?"

"General Liu has helped me a lot. I was relieved to be able to settle these people!"

"Thank you, General Liu!"

Yi Louhao stood up and toasted Liu Taozi.

At this moment, Liu Taozi slowly stood up and drank it all in one go.

"Thank you, Mr. Yilou."

Seeing this scene, the other two prefects hurriedly said that they also had many free officials.

The solemn aura just now disappeared, and there was still no smile on Liu Taozi's face, but there was no gloom that had just happened. Several prefects were joking, talking and laughing, and they all looked much more relaxed.

Liu Taozi whispered: "The Prime Minister is coming."

Everyone was quiet.

For people of their level, it is no secret that the prime minister will do what he will do in the future.

They also knew very well that the Prime Minister was coming to the frontier.

But they remained quiet and continued to stare at Liu Taozi, wondering what he was going to say.

Liu Taozi said, "The Prime Minister said that when he comes to the frontier, he should see elite border soldiers and wealthy counties."

"I can rectify the border soldiers so that they will not harm the local area, and I can train the soldiers and make them more good at fighting, but I have no choice but to do this wealthy county."

"I didn't want to say more, but I said it."

"The Prime Minister is planning to use this opportunity to look at the border counties, and may send people to investigate privately, reward those who have made meritorious contributions and kill those who have made mistakes."

"Everyone, I've said so much."

After Liu Taozi finished speaking, she ate another sip of wine.

"Goodbye."

Liu Taozi stood up and left. Several prefects watched him leave blankly, and Wei Jiong watched him leave thoughtfully.

After he left, Yi Louhao couldn't wait to get up and look at Wei Jiong, "Duke Wei!! Did you know it early in the morning?! Liu Taozi was sent by the Prime Minister to secretly supervise the border counties? Yes and no?!"

"The Prime Minister wants to establish his authority and come to the frontier to defeat the enemy. This is one of them, investigate the counties and kill officials, and this is the second. Wei Gong!! You are really!! How can you be so selfish?!"

Yi Louhao's face was extremely bad.

Wei Jiong was stunned for a moment, hurriedly got up, with a look of guilt on his face, and saluted them, "Everyone, forgive me! I wish you guilt!"

He smiled wryly and said, "I have no friendship with Liu Taozi, but my family has a friendship with him. The family sent someone to tell me that the Prime Minister sent this person to investigate the various places secretly. It was just speculation, but I was not sure. Besides, the affairs of the Prime Minister can be leaked, so I dare not tell me, forgive me! I forgive me!"

Yi Louhao was stunned. He looked at the two people on both sides, "Your home?"

"If I remember correctly, you are the General of the Cavalry."

Yi Louhao was silent for a moment before he collapsed on the ground, "It's broken."

"We told General Liu what we did with King Shunyang. After the arrival of the Prime Minister, wouldn't we be the first to test our swords??"

The other two were the same, extremely frightened.

Looking at their appearance, Wei Jiong hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid. The Prime Minister has not arrived yet. Didn't I also participate? King Shunyang did things here, how dare we not follow? The Prime Minister must understand this truth. The most important thing now is to take advantage of the Prime Minister's arrival to make changes in the place!"

"Change?"

"Yes, among the border counties, there are countless people who are arrogant and cannot make a living without arable land. No one in the county has dared to enter the door for several years. The officials are almost all the minions of the Chinese people. They are partial to helping things up to the point of being at this point. Don't worry about offending others. It is important to save your life first. Besides, with the support of the prime minister, why fear?"

"I can't persuade you, but after I go back, I will vigorously rectify the local area, thoroughly investigate the officials from all over the country, distribute cultivated land, and resettle refugees."

When Yi Louhao heard this, he nodded immediately and said righteously: "As local officials, we should be like this! We should be like this!"

"Everyone! I have something urgent to do"

The few people quickly dispersed.

Wei Jiong rode a horse and led the knights on his way, and walked on the road with a bitter face. He sometimes sighed, sometimes laughed, sometimes fell silent.

When they left the city, Wei Jiong suddenly discovered that Liu Taozi was leading dozens of knights and waiting for him on the road.

Wei Jiongzong stepped forward and the two walked on the road together.

"General, I'll fulfill that statement for you. They all vowed to work hard to improve people's livelihood."

Wei Jiong smiled bitterly, "In this world, you have to use lies to make local officials do serious things absurd, absurd."

Liu Taozi looked into the distance, "Didn't they doubt it?"

"Suspicion? What do you doubt? Do you doubt that you lied to them to do good things??"

"They will never understand such reasons, nor will they understand them. Who would have thought that someone would take it as their responsibility to resolve the sufferings of the common people?"

Liu Taozi nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei."

"No, there is no need to thank you. To be ashamed, I came from a famous family and got an official position with my ancestors, but I wasted my time and wasted my life. In the past, I have never done anything that is beneficial to the country. I used to have too many concerns, but now I meet someone who dares to make decisions. If I hesitate, I am afraid that this will be the case in my life."

"General, if one day in the future, I will be convicted for these things, may the general save one or two?"

Liu Taozi slowly looked at Wei Jiong with a solemn look.

"It must be saved."

Wei Jiong laughed, "Thank you, thank you, I'm not afraid anymore."

Liu Taozi led everyone back to Wuchuan.

Inside and outside of Wuchuan, it is particularly lively.

Some civilians are working vigorously under the leadership of their household leaders. They are now full of food. Although they are not distributed much, they are much better than before. At least they have it every day and will not be interrupted. Even if they are given food, they will not be as numb as they used to do their work.

After surveying around, Tian Zili set up suitable residences around Wuchuan and placed these people here.

They promoted a large number of civilians, made them serve as chiefs of ten households, hundred households, etc., and organized the chaotic civilians, so that they could know their belongings and better manage them.

The villagers no longer piled up in Wuchuan City, but instead bloomed towards the surroundings with Wuchuan as the center.

A pure military fortress has become the same normal city as other county towns. The city still lives in the army, but there are newly built villages around the city.

This is not only the Wuchuan, but also the several important guardhouses around.

The defense line was also changed. While setting up rural areas, they also set up sentry towers and horse walls around them.

The entire frontier was very busy, and officials often went from day to night, with almost no time to rest.

Liu Taozi was not very skilled in these things. He copied many copies of the book Yang Yan had given him and distributed it to the military officers for them to understand and study.

"Brother!!"

Yao Xiong rode his horse and hurriedly got off the horse.

"You are finally back, brother, something big happened!"

Yao Xiong looked anxious.

"oh?"

Liu Taozi was still calm. He rode his horse towards the city, and Yao Xiong followed him, "I am following my brother's order to attack temples in all parts of the border. It's very smooth everywhere, but only Huaishuo people on Huaishuo are just rude to our brothers and look down on our Wuchuan soldiers!"

"A few knights of Huaishu led Cangtou Nu to confront us, and wanted to protect those demon monks!"

"I fought with them and didn't take advantage of them. Later, I provoked their lord. I thought I would be a sensible person, but I didn't expect that I would stand by the knights and want to go against me."
