Plane of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 170 Brother Takes out a Glass Ball and Bounces You to Death
On the way to Xiongzhou, Qin Guan found that the closer to the border, the more desolate it was, which was very different from the prosperity of Jiangnan.

The people are in a hurry, rushing about for their lives.

A month later, I finally came to Dayuan City, the capital of Hexi.

After settling in an inn, Qin Guan took out a blank greeting card and wrote three copies, and asked Qin Mao to send it out with Xiong Daxiong Er.

When taking office in a local area, the first thing to do is to meet with the Shangguan, that is, to report. Qin Guan is the magistrate of Xiongzhou, so he naturally has to show his face to the governor, chief envoy, and admiral. After meeting with the Shangguan, Qin Guan is considered an official took office.

When Shen Yichen took office, he didn't meet the governor when he saw the superior, but the magistrate. He came with Qin Guan, his immediate boss, so he saved this procedure.

Waking up the next morning, Qin Guan changed into his official uniform, took the sedan chair he rented last night, and took Xiong Da Xiong Er with him to go out. The first stop was naturally the governor's office.

Duan Zhongqiu, governor of Hexi, received him in the back hall of the governor's yamen. Duan Zhongqiu was in his fifties this year, with a short beard, and looked at Qin Guan with fine eyes. Qin Guan gave him the first feeling that he was so young.

I think back then, I was in the middle age before I passed the second-class Jinshi examination. Fortunately, I followed the right person and was promoted by Zeng Xiangguo, so I sat on the position of governor of Hexi step by step.

The Qin Guan in front of him was young, and he was directly appointed as the magistrate after being the number one in the examination, which made him a bit embarrassed as a senior official.

Duan Zhongqiu said seriously with a straight face: "Xiongzhou is located at the junction of the three countries, and the people's livelihood is in decline. The situation is complicated. Last fall, the Liao Kingdom invaded the border and destroyed Xiongzhou again. You are the number one scholar in the current department. The imperial court sent you here because of course I believe you Ability, after you arrive in Xiongzhou, you must make some achievements as soon as possible, I don't want to judge you as unqualified in the performance appraisal next year."

"I still have business to deal with, so I won't keep you any longer."

Governor Duan didn't even use any tricks to bring tea to see off the guests, and directly opened his mouth to drive them away.

Before Qin Guan came, his father Qin Zhang naturally told him about the situation in Hexi. Qin Guan knew that Governor Duan was the proper Zeng Dang. Qin Guan offended Zeng Yu. As a member of Zeng Dang, he would definitely not Have a good look at him.

Qin Guan got up and raised his hand to salute, "Then I will leave now."

After speaking, he strode out of the governor's office.

It's not that Qin Guan doesn't want to have a good relationship with Shangguan. The main reason is that the two sides have already become hot and cold. There are factional disputes between Zeng Yu and Shen Zheng, and there are also personal grievances between Qin Guan and Zeng Yu. The conflicts are irreconcilable. If you want Duan Zhongqiu to appreciate him, then It is absolutely impossible, since that is the case, Qin Guan will not foolishly post other people's cold ass.

Coming out of the governor's yamen, Qin Guan went straight to the chief envoy's yamen.

Qin Guan announced according to the etiquette, and soon the door came back and invited Qin Guan in. As soon as he entered the main hall, Qin Guan saw Shen Xiangyan, who was standing in the main hall and looked at him with a smile. Master Shen."

Shen Xiangyan nodded with a smile, "As expected of being the number one scholar in the current discipline, the Ci Xian bestowed by the government himself is really a talent. You don't have to write too much, and I will tell you to do so less from now on."

Shen Xiangyan was very close from the beginning.

This chief envoy, Mr. Shen, also introduced it in great detail. Speaking of it, this is the real Shen Dang. Speaking of it, he is still Shen Zheng's nephew. He is naturally a little closer to Shen Dang. .

Qin Guan listened to his father's introduction at that time, and sighed in his heart, the official relationship is really complicated, such an arrangement, I don't know if the emperor intends to contain and balance the forces of all parties.

Shen Xiangyan called Qin Guan to sit down, and said earnestly: "Before you, I have received a letter from Shen Xiangguo, asking me to take care of you. You are new to Hexi, and the situation in Xiongzhou is complicated. I'm busy with you."

"Last year, the Liao Kingdom sent an army of ten thousand people to invade the border, and fought a battle with the Xin'an Army. The Xin'an Army was defeated and suffered a lot. Han Shicheng was seriously injured. The Liao Army invaded our country for 300 miles and hit the city of Dayuan. The army was mobilized to encircle, and the Liao Kingdom was only a tentative attack, and they robbed a group of supplies and people, and retreated before winter."

"However, after this incident, Xiongzhou was also affected by the military disaster, and it has not really recovered. The report below shows that there are still tens of thousands of local people stranded in Xiongzhou City. help."

"Now that you take office, the first thing you need to do is resettle these refugees and solve the food problem. You need to master these things yourself, and there must be no civil unrest."

"There is also the issue of taxation. Xiongzhou suffered a military disaster, and the local government reported that it wanted to reduce or exempt the tax burden. We have reported the documents to the imperial court, but until now there has been no approval. It is almost time to collect the tax burden for half a year."

"If the imperial court does not exempt taxes, does not allocate funds for disaster relief, and the tax burden in the second half of the year cannot be collected, your life in Xiongzhou will be difficult. Where do the local expenditures come from, how to deal with the victims, how to support the Xiang army, etc. You have to make up your mind."

"And that's it."

Shen Xiangyan first talked about the government affairs of Xiongzhou, and each of them was a very thorny issue. If he suffered a military disaster, he would not be exempted from taxes or given relief. Thinking about it, there was a problem here, and the court didn't know where they were arguing.

Qin Guan frowned and asked: "Master Chief Political Officer, I wonder if the province can give Xiongzhou some assistance to ease the current predicament."

Shen Xiangyan thought for a while and said: "The situation in Hexi is not optimistic, and the finances are not rich, but since you have asked, I will always help you. How about this, I will ask Taipingcang to allocate [-] catties of grain for you."

One hundred thousand catties of grain is not a lot.

Qin Guan was overjoyed at first, but after a little calculation, he immediately felt something was wrong.

One hundred thousand catties, converted to 50 tons of grain.

Damn, it's just a Hyundai truck.

Moreover, this is still grain with shells. If the shells are removed, it is estimated to be about 40 tons.

40 tons of grain feed more than 1 refugees,

Even with one catty of grain per person per day, 1 people can only eat for 8 days.
Enough dry hair.

Qin Guan calculated in his mind again, 10 catties is about 800 shi, if according to the current price of grain in Dazhao country, a bucket of japonica rice costs 100 ren, and a shi is 1000 ren, that is to say, consistent.

Well, our chief political envoy is very generous and respectful, and supported Qin Guan with 800 guan.

Eight hundred guan!
Damn, brother took out a glass ball and bounced you to death.

But that's not bad, this is still one of our own people, otherwise they wouldn't give you a grain of food.

Qin Guan bid farewell to Shen Xiangyan, and he had an extra note in his hand that he could go to Taipingcang to receive 10 catties of grain, which was considered a bit of a gain.

Then he turned around and went to the admiral's office of Xuezheng.

Just after receiving the notification, the senior Xuezheng ran out to greet Qin Guan in person. The old man in his fifties held Qin Guan's hand as soon as he came up, which made Qin Guan feel flattered. This guy must be too enthusiastic.

Looking at the old guy's eager eyes.

It can't be an old rabbit, can it?

However, this guy is small and thin, and he can fly him with a single punch, so he is not afraid of being attacked by him.
