Chu Huan hadn't been in Dai'er's room for a long time, when he heard a cat meowing outside, he knew it was Gongsun Chu, so he went out and went to the side hall. Gongsun Chu was already waiting, and seeing Chu Huan come in, Standing up hastily, Chu Huan beckoned him to sit down, someone had already served tea, after Chu Huan took his seat, he said with a smile: "Master Gongsun, don't take it for me to call you over so late, and disturb my rest."

Gongsun Chu hurriedly said: "Your Excellency came to me so late, there must be something important. I didn't sleep at first, Chu Du has already ordered the renting of food, and the renting of food in the counties of Yuezhou has also started, but there are many things You have to explain it, don't wait to go to Beishan, the things here haven't been explained clearly."

"I came here for this matter." Chu Huan said with a smile: "You don't have to be in a hurry, you have to do things well and take care of yourself."

"Thank you Governor Chu for thinking about it." Gongsun Chu cupped his hands and said, "This is because these two kinds of crops are planted in the field, so that the lower officials can feel at ease. Xiguan has been suffering in recent years, and many people starve to death every year. It can barely make do with it, but if you want to last until the autumn harvest, people will inevitably starve to death in the middle. If the food is not planted, the people of Xiguan will not be able to survive. Originally Zhu Lingyue attacked our Xiguan, and the officials were worried that the war would be too long , Delayed farming, and there will be endless troubles at that time. Fortunately, Chu Huan quickly resolved the previous matter. Naturally, Xiaguan cannot slack off the important task at hand. Xiaguan will formulate detailed regulations in the next few days Explain it carefully, so as not to cause other troubles after the official leaves."

Chu Huan nodded and smiled, "I just went to King Qi tonight. On the way back, I sent someone to find you. I have already talked to King Qi about Governor Beishan."

Gongsun Chu asked, "When will the next official leave?"

In Gongsun Chu's view, although Chu Huan is still the governor of Xiguan Road in name, neither Beishan nor Tianshan has an opponent who can match Chu Huan. Of course, Chu Huan will further control the other two roads, so as to bring the whole The Northwest is in his hands. Wei Wuji went to Tianshan and took many officials to take up his post. In terms of military, Fang Rushui's Jinzhou Army and Chang Huan's Northwest Army have already stationed in Tianshan. This has proved that Chu Huan wants to rectify Tianshan , to master the military and political power of Tianshan, the next step is naturally Beishan, sending himself there, just like sending Wei Wuji to Tianshan, is to control the northwest.

Now that Chu Huan has decided to let him go to Beishan and look to the northwest, what Chu Huan said now is a promise, so it is almost a certainty that he will go to Beishan to serve as the governor.

Although it is inconvenient to say some things clearly, Gongsun Chu knew in his heart that Chu Huan went to report to King Qi, and it was probably just a formality. After all, King Qi was the prince of Daqin, and Chu Huan was still a subject of Qin in name, and the governor of Beishan. The appointment of King Qi was firstly done by Chu Huan to express his respect for King Qi, and secondly, it was to make it more legitimate for him to go to Beishan to serve as the governor.

Wei Wuji went to Tianshan. Chu Huan was in Hezhou City at that time, but he just sent someone to send a book. Naturally, there is no doubt that there will be any resistance to going to Beishan to take up the post.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go for a while." Chu Huan picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, "Master Gongsun, you should deal with the food rental business here first."

Gongsun Chu is such a shrewd person, of course he heard something wrong with Chu Huan's words, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "Chu Du, is it... King Qi disagrees with the officials going to Beishan, and someone else select?"

Chu Huan looked calm, and said with a smile, "Who do you think it is?"

Gongsun Chu thought for a while, and said: "The most likely one is Lu Haosheng, but Lu Haosheng has been an official in the capital, and the lower officials have talked to him twice... Oh, yes, Governor Chu, I almost forgot to ask you Report, before you came back, King Qi summoned many officials from Hezhou to his mansion for a banquet. There were two times in total. They said that they were discussing with the lower officials to celebrate the removal of Luo Dingxi. King Qi's face is too ugly, so he went to the banquet."

"At this point, I already know that there is nothing wrong with it." Chu Huan nodded with a smile.

"So during the banquet, I had a conversation with Lu Haosheng. This person is talented and scheming, but... the official feels that he lacks experience in governing the country." Gongsun Chu looked serious, " If it was a peaceful and prosperous age, there would be nothing wrong with Beijing officials going down to the localities to practice slowly, but now is an extraordinary time. Although Beishan Xiao Huanzhang has died, Beishan itself is not peaceful, and various forces are intertwined in At the same time, if the harmony cannot be straightened out in time, I am afraid that there will be chaos...!"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Do you think Lu Haosheng can't manage Beishan well?"

"This...!" Gongsun Chu hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Chu Du, it's not that the subordinates gossip about people behind their backs, but Chu Du sent the subordinates, and the subordinates are also worried. The talents of the subordinates may not be comparable I went to Lu Haosheng, but I am familiar with the customs and customs of the Northwest, and I also have some friendship with some officials and gentry in Beishan Road, but Lu Haosheng has no local experience, I am afraid that I will miss the important affairs of the governor of Chu and disturb Beishan's restlessness."

"In my opinion, Lu Haosheng may have read a few more books than you, but when it comes to the ability to benefit the people, he is far inferior to you." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Since he is going, the governor will let him have a try." , Some people don’t know how to turn back until they hit the south wall. But you also have to make preparations here, and you are ready to go to Beishan at any time. Just during this time, you can not only take care of the matter of borrowing food and subletting, but also before going to Beishan. After thinking about what to do in Beishan, and being prepared, it will be much easier to do things at that time, and it is not very good to rush over at this time."

Gongsun Chu was obedient, understood Chu Huan's meaning, and said with a smile, "I'm taking orders." Looking around, he lowered his voice and said, "Chu Du, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Lord Gongsun, you can speak freely in front of the Governor." Chu Huan picked up the teacup and said, "Drink tea first, I've asked you to come over so late, there is no good wine or food, this cup of tea is always to be eaten."

Gongsun Chu picked up the teacup, lit it up at Chu Huan, expressed respect, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Chu Du, King Qi sent Lu Haosheng to Beishan, this is what Lu Haosheng said in King Qi's ear Was King Qi sending him there, or was it King Qi's own intention?"

Chu Huan sighed: "Gongsun, to say something disrespectful, King Qi is still a child. He grew up in the palace and was so well protected by the queen. Even a tiger locked in a cage all day will change Cheng is extremely docile, so he has a pure temperament and doesn't understand the sinister nature of the human heart. Although he has matured a lot after suffering setbacks, after all, a person's character is not tempered in a short period of time. When a child goes on the wrong path, he must always let him understand what is wrong. Yes, what is wrong, but we can't force him to know the truth, only let him see some things clearly and let him understand. Lu Haosheng, if he says he has no talent, he is talking nonsense with his eyes wide open. Some, it's just...!" Frowning, he didn't continue.

Gongsun Chu sighed: "If this person is only loyal to the king of Qi, then it's okay to say, if he hides a different heart, Chu Du, you can tolerate him, I'm afraid others can't tolerate him. Now the Northwest wants It is An Ning. Anyone who makes trouble in the Northwest is the enemy of the Northwest. You have worked so hard to make the people live a better life, but some people want to do the opposite. If you say something with conscience, I feel the same. Not happy."

"You're right." Chu Huan nodded and said, "Let's find a way to make the prince understand that people in the Northwest want to be stable. Lu Haosheng, after all, the prince still trusts him very much. They lived and died together. At the beginning, so many officials followed the prince. In the end, he was the only one by his side. The prince is also a man of friendship, so he naturally treats Lu Haosheng differently. Since Lu Haosheng doesn't know that the south wall is ahead, we let him follow his will and let him bump into it, knowing that it hurts. I just hope he can understand and settle down."

Gongsun Chu nodded and said: "Chu Du is very hardworking, I only hope that King Qi and Lu Haosheng can understand it." Suddenly he thought of something, and said: "Chu Du, it just happens to be here tonight, and there is something I want to report to Chu Du."

"what?"

"It's the trading field outside Yanmen Pass." Gongsun Chu said with a smile: "When the war ceases, the trading field will naturally become prosperous. As far as I know, many people have come from Xiliang to the trading field. Recently, many merchants have received customs clearance documents from the Department of Household Affairs Office. According to Chu Du’s intention, all merchants who came to apply for customs clearance documents have been reviewed. Of course, the seven surnames of Xiguan are the first... It’s just that Not long ago, a group of gentry had an incident because of the sublease of borrowing grain. They signed a document. Gentlemen and merchants, the lower officials will not borrow a grain of grain from them, but the lower officials will not issue them the signatures for leaving the customs...!"

Chu Huan said: "That's right, that's the way to do it."

"It's just that in recent days, those people have come to them on their own initiative, claiming that they can borrow more grain. If other gentry lend [-]% of their harvest to Guancang, they are willing to lend [-]%. Be flexible so that they can also apply for the exit visa." Gongsun Chu said with a faint smile: "These people were selfish and refused to borrow food at the beginning, but now they know the benefits of borrowing food, and they regret it in their hearts. Find the lower official and ask the lower official to plead with Chu Du, Chu Du, I think about this matter, and I should tell you."

Picking up the teacup, Chu Huan asked, "Gongsun, what do you think should be done about this matter? Forgive them and issue customs clearance documents to them?"

Gongsun Chu shook his head, and said solemnly: "Chu Du, you can't be a square without rules. What's more, Chu Du looked at them in public and signed his name. He would not lend them food, and would not issue customs documents to them. Many people have heard of this matter." We all know that if we forgive them, I'm afraid...!"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "I'm afraid that the prestige of the governor will be damaged?"

"Yes!"

Chu Huan's expression became serious, and he said lightly: "According to what I said before, let alone borrowing [-]% ​​more, the person who signed the document will go bankrupt and donate all his assets, and he will also have a copy of the customs clearance document." No. There are hundreds of gentry in Xiguan, almost all of whom borrowed grain, but these dozens of households want to fight against the governor. Do you really think that the government is so easy to offend? By the way, the governor still remembers that the leader is called Xing Taki, just tell them that the family who signed the document, as long as Ben Du is on this post for a day, they will die of the idea of ​​leaving the customs. Even if they say that Ben Du's official revenge is fine or suppress them, they can open up and say, Ben The governor just wants to suppress them, let them know that the governor wants to do something, whoever wants to jump out, carefully weigh the consequences...!"

Gongsun Chu got up and cupped his hands and smiled, "The next official is to take orders, Governor Chu, this killing of chickens and monkeys will surely deter many people. In the future, those gentry will not dare to easily oppose Chu Governor's decrees."

"It is only by letting them understand a truth and cooperate with the government that they can enjoy the benefits given by the government." Chu Huan sighed: "Many people still don't understand the truth that they are willing to part with it. Since they are reluctant, how can they get it? You That’s right, kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys, if some chickens jump out, you have to kill them with a knife.”
