Han Shizu

Chapter 1602 Scary
The hall of the town general's mansion was filled with the sound of flipping through files, accompanied by the incessant sound of dialing abacus, and the bureaucrats who came along with Liu Xu's east tour were checking all kinds of books and accounts in Aolai City.

Across a curtain, beside the small case, Liu Xu and Liu Yongzhen sat opposite each other, sipping tea silently. In this remote town, drinking tea is already an "aristocratic" enjoyment.

However, Liu Xu was sipping it in a serious way, and he was a little intoxicated. Liu Yongzhen's Town General's Mansion has a lot of good things. This tea is Xianglin tea from Hangzhou, which was also selected as a tribute tea.

Liu Yongzhen obviously entertained the King of Qin with the best things, but what was frustrating was that, with such attentive service, the uneasiness and worries in his heart were always difficult to dispel and lingered all the time, especially when he looked at the indifferent expression of the King of Qin.

Liu Yongzhen had never met Emperor Liu before. Although he was Liu Guangyi's nephew, he obviously didn't have the qualifications. However, at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, His Royal Highness Qin Wang is so unpredictable, and how majestic the emperor is
There were so many thoughts in my mind that even a cup of tea was completely cold, and I didn't take a sip.Liu Yongzhen's attention was obviously on the other side of the curtain, while accompanying Liu Xu, his ears were always pricked up, listening and asking questions.

Seeing that he was restless, Liu Xu said softly, "Why is General Liu so out of his mind?"

Liu Yongzhen shook his head, and without waiting for him to reply, Liu Xu said, "You don't have to worry, it's just a routine inspection! I've been doing this all along, and if I make mistakes, I'll correct them. If there are omissions, I'll make up for them. It's not to deal with you military and political officials, but to make up for the local governance!"

"Your Highness is wise!" Hearing this, Liu Yongzhen hurriedly complimented him: "Your Highness is so broad-minded, why worry about Anton's death?"

But that being said, Liu Yongzhen can't feel at ease. Of course, he also has some sources of information. As far as he knows, Qin Wang Liu Xu has used thunderous tactics all the way. Depending on the seriousness of the complex, punishment will be given. If it is light, maybe a few reprimands will pass, and if it is serious, it will be dismissed from office or even beheaded.

For a person like Liu Yongzhen, if something goes wrong, killing him is better than being kicked out of Anton.If he was driven back to the capital and back to his family, it would definitely be a difficult time.

"This high-grade Xianglin tea is rare in the Central Plains. I thank you for your hospitality. However, let me taste it here alone, but the owner is sitting across from you. I feel a little embarrassed as a guest!" Liu Xu said. He made a joke, and Wen Yan comforted Liu Yongzhen.

Following Liu Xu's gaze, seeing the teacup in front of her, without thinking, Liu Yongzhen picked up the cup and poured it into her mouth, even chewing the tea leaves.

What they taste is stir-fried tea. This was mentioned by Emperor Liu, and then some smart people came up with a way to stir-fry tea. After more than 20 years of development, the tea-frying technology of the Dahan has changed. It has matured and spread across the country.

As for Liu Yongzhen's actions, Liu Xu was taken aback for a moment. He is a son of a noble family, and he is knowledgeable about etiquette. This kind of behavior, but he looks like a rough guy. However, it can also show his restlessness.

Because of this, Liu Xu, who didn't take it seriously at first, couldn't help thinking to himself, is there any disadvantage in this Aolai City?With a smile on his face, Liu Xu's eyes became deeper.

There is nothing wrong with a small city of Aolai. Even after checking the files of several years, it didn't take too much time. Soon, Geng Jizhong, the secretary of the Governor's Mansion, walked in and bowed to Liu Xu: "Your Highness!"

Geng Jizhong, apparently a descendant of the Geng family, is the youngest son of Liu Xu's uncle, Geng Chong'en, and also Liu Xu's cousin.It has to be said that at any time, the only two families that Liu Xu can rely on are his mother's Geng family and his wife's Bai family, and under the banner of King Qin, only these two families are the most reliable .

"How is it?" Liu Xu asked.

Geng Jizhong glanced at Liu Yongzhen, who was a little nervous, and replied calmly: "His Royal Highness, except for the clear record of gold storage, the rest of the records are very chaotic."

Liu Xu spread his hands, and Geng Jizhong hurriedly handed over a brief report, and flipped through it for a while. Liu Xu looked at Liu Yongzhen with a smile, and said with a gentle attitude, "Why are the accounts of food in and out not clear?"

"You also have a military job. If you are marching and fighting, you can't even sort out the logistics of the military supply, and the supply is wrong. Can you still win the battle?"

Liu Xu asked calmly, but Liu Yongzhen blushed, faltered, and explained in a low voice: "Return to Your Highness, this is the fault of the minister. It's just that there are few people in Aolai City, and there are no planners who are good at calculating."

"Since the city is small and there are few people, is it easier to straighten out the settlement?" Liu Xu retorted immediately: "Even the records of the farm cattle and farm tools rented by the farmers are confused. Over time, they will become bad debts. Farm tools are also the property of the government, why, Liu Zhen will be very generous, is it possible that he intends to directly subdue good governance in the future, benefit the people, write it off, and never pursue it again?"

Liu Xu's eyes were full of oppression, and he said lightly: "It is true that a few farm cattle and farm tools are not a big deal. In order to attract immigrants, the Dudu Mansion can order them to be donated to farmers. However, since the rental system has been formulated, it must be easy to implement. Otherwise, you can directly offer favors and benefits, so why introduce this policy? General Liu Zhen should not have the intention of corrupting the government's decree, right?"

"Your Highness!" Liu Yongzhen was obviously intimidated by Liu Xu's understatement, got up hurriedly, knelt down on the ground, and said a little excitedly: "Your Highness, I will not change your Highness's government orders even if I die! Negligence, please forgive me, I will never complain!"

Silently looked at Liu Yongzhen, and after a while, probably seeing his sincerity, he waved his hand: "Get up! You don't have to do this, I still say the same thing, I'm not here to trouble you, I just want to be with you, Find out the problem, find out the omission, and then solve it. Anton, it is not by me, Liu Xu, but by the Governor's Mansion, it can be governed well, and it has to be united and work together!"

"Yes! Your Highness is right, I will definitely remember His Highness's teaching!" Liu Yongzhen hurriedly expressed his opinion.

Looking at Liu Yongzhen, Liu Xu said: "Your Majesty once chatted with me, saying that the whole country is a big account, and if the accounts are not clear, the country will be in chaos. Your Aolai City is small, but the reason is the same!"

"Your Majesty is truly insightful and magnificent." Liu Yongzhen began to talk nonsense, flattering Emperor Liu from thousands of miles away.

Liu Xu was almost not amused by him, raised his hand, and told Geng Jizhong who was at the side: "Leave a planner and help General Liu to settle the accounts of Aolai City!"

"Yes!"

"If there are superior officials to help, then the subordinate officials will have nothing to worry about!" Liu Yongzhen said.

Liu Xu looked at him and said, "I have to work hard for you, gather the officers above the Aolai garrison, and I will have a meal with them in the evening. It is really hard work to guard the security in this remote place and protect the environment and the people." , I, as the governor, should also comfort the court on behalf of the court!"

"Yes!" Shocked by Liu Xu's words, Liu Yongzhen dared not object, and did not consider that the real direct subordinate of Anton's army was the deputy governor, An Shouzhong. our honor."

Although the imperial court still adheres to the principle of separating the military and the political power in Andong, in reality, there is no way to completely monitor and implement it across thousands of miles.

Liu Xu is the king of Qin, the eldest son of Emperor Liu, and the governor of Anton. In the land of Anton, who can really check and balance him?In addition, in name, the Andong Garrison Army is also placed under the governor's mansion. As the governor, it is not difficult for Liu Xu to intervene in military affairs a little bit, and no one dares to offend King Qin and easily accuse him of interfering in military affairs .

From the establishment of the Anton Governor's Mansion to Liu Xu's drastic administrative actions in Andong, there have always been various controversies and criticisms. Naturally, there are many farsighted people in the court. Some people pointed out the hidden worries early on, thinking that Anton The governor’s power is too great, so it needs to be restricted, at least the jurisdiction of the garrison army should be separated from the governor’s mansion. It’s just that Emperor Liu was indulging in personal affairs, or considering the actual situation in the Northeast, he didn’t accept it.
When Liu Yongzhen left, her legs were weak, her footsteps were floating, and the lining of her back was soaked in cold sweat.When he first came to Anton, he was personally received by Liu Xu. At that time, his feelings were not so deep, but now, he believes more and more that the rumors are true. His Highness King Qin is not easy to serve, and his majesty cannot be offended.
