The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1010 Arriving in Minzhou
According to Xuan Shijing's expectation, on the tenth day, the team entered the territory of Minzhou, but they still had to walk a day away from Minzhou City.

Xuan Shijing ordered Gao Jun to lead the team, while himself, Qin Bingyue and Chang Le left the big team on horseback and headed straight for Minzhou. It is estimated that they will reach Minzhou City tomorrow afternoon.

Originally, Li Zhi was working in the government office of Minzhou City, but now that Li Zhi is gone, Xuan Shijing naturally wants to take over the government office, and after taking over, he will arrange for the 500 people to camp.

The city walls of Minzhou City were obviously refurbished in recent years, and the city walls are also very tall. Also, this Minzhou City faces Tuyuhun directly. Although it is backed by mountains, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is always advantageous to strengthen the city walls and fight. of.

This also shows that during these three years in Minzhou, Li Zhi was really not idle at all. He was about to fight Tuyuhun, but he was dispatched to Jinzhou by the order of His Majesty Li Er. This city is high and deep. Minzhou City, which fell into the rule of Xuan Shijing, made a wedding dress for the later Xuan Shijing.

The next day, Xuan Shijing took the two of them into Minzhou City, and went directly to the government office with the seal of the imperial decree for handover.

There were only two clerks left in the mansion, and the rest were taken away by Li Zhi. Originally, most of the officials in this mansion were arranged by Li Zhi. Leaving in a hurry, there is only an empty shell left in this government office. Fortunately, Minzhou has not yet become chaotic, and the news of Li Zhi's departure has not been widely spread in Minzhou.

"Seeing this mansion, the Marquis feels that there are still not enough people to take care of, and I'm afraid it will be busy these days." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"This is drawing from the bottom of the pot." Chang Le walked around for a while, and found that there were almost no people in the empty mansion, so he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It is reasonable for the King of Jin to take his people away. In this way, the civil servants in the government office, plus the two clerks, make a total of five people. Also, pick a few quick-witted people from among our people to come to this government office, and help them first, and then go to see the army in Minzhou after everything is settled down." Xuan Shijing ordered.

"Yes." Chang Le responded.

"I don't know when Brother Huaiyu will arrive." Xuan Shijing said while looking outside.

Qin Huaiyu's arrival in Minzhou is undoubtedly a great help for Xuan Shijing. Whether he comes by himself or brings some soldiers from Hezhou, it is a good thing. He is even more sure of controlling the army in Minzhou up.

A lot of business has been accumulated in the Minzhou government office, Xuan Shijing sat on the desk immediately after arranging the things, and started to deal with the accumulated business, even Qin Bingyue was also helping.

It is impossible for Li Zhi, the army of Minzhou, to be taken away, but what remains is not only the army, but also the three-month salary owed to the army.

Xuan Shijing rubbed his head after seeing the letter from the military camp begging for military pay, this Li Zhi really had a dark heart, he patted his ass and left, and still owed the army three months of military pay, leaving himself in such a mess.

Seeing that Tuyuhun was about to attack in winter, and the army still owed food and wages, how could they fight against Tuyuhun's army?

Throwing down the letter, Xuan Shijing stood up, and said to the little official beside him: "Take Benhou to the storeroom of the government office, Bingyue, you stay here to deal with these matters."

Qin Bingyue nodded and did not speak, while Xuan Shijing followed the little official out of the hall and went to the warehouse of the yamen.

The warehouse of the yamen was built in the backyard. Originally, the backyard was used for lodging by the servants who stayed in the yamen, but now it is all vacant. Li Zhi has his own house in Minzhou City. But the house is still in Minzhou and it is his private property.

Walking to the door of the warehouse, the clerk took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and opened the door of the warehouse. Xuan Shijing walked into the warehouse and looked around. Except for some scattered copper coins, there was nothing else in the whole warehouse. Xuan Shijing took a look at the copper coins, but they were less than a thousand coins.

It is definitely not enough as a military salary, that is to say, before Li Zhi left, he emptied the warehouse of this government office!

Xuan Shijing had already planned to write a report to impeach Li Zhi when he saw that the army was in arrears of food and salaries. Now that he saw this warehouse, this report, if he didn't write it, he would be sorry for the warehouse!

"Why is there only so little money left in the treasury of this government office?" Xuan Shijing asked the little official beside him.

"Returning to my lord, this little one is not clear. Before you came, this little one had never been to this warehouse. The key to this warehouse was also handed over to the little one by his subordinate, Mr. Zhang Xingcheng, after His Royal Highness King Jin left. After the adults have arrived, this is the first time for the little one to come to this warehouse." The little official responded.

"Then the people in the former government office have added property to this warehouse?" Xuan Shijing asked.

The rest of the money is definitely not right, it is just the goods carried by the caravan of the Hou Mansion that was intercepted, it will not be such a small amount, and now, the caravan's things are completely gone, what does this mean? ?It means that Li Zhi rolled his things and ran away!

He really dared to do this, is he really not afraid of being impeached by himself?

"Where is the government office granary?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Money and food are the basis of survival. Now that there is only so little money left, there should be some food. Li Zhi can't take it away in a big way.

"My lord, please follow me." The clerk led Xuan Shijing out of the warehouse, locked the warehouse, and went to the granary.

The situation of the granary can be better than that of the warehouse. After all, Li Zhi cannot take away such things as grain. There is a lot of grain piled up in the granary, most of which are new. The winter in Minzhou will not be too difficult, the only thing that makes Xuan Shijing a headache now is the few children in the warehouse, what should he use to pay the soldiers in Minzhou.

Back in the hall, Xuan Shijing sat on the main seat, picked up a pen and began to make some notes. The specific situation of Minzhou City, including the situation in the government office, should be explained to His Majesty Li Er in detail. Baiqisi can check it out. Many were explored, but the tragic scene in the warehouses and granaries could not be seen.

One was to report the situation of the Minzhou government office, and the other was to impeach Li Zhi. The words were very sharp, and it was estimated that Li Zhi could drink a pot.

What does it mean to resign from Minzhou and empty out the Minzhou government office?Not only the money of the public family was lost, but also the property that should have been returned to the caravan.

From Xuan Shijing's point of view, Li Zhi really lost his head.

After finishing writing the notes, I found someone to send them to Chang'an in four hundred miles to submit to His Majesty Li Er.
