Chapter 317 Yuchi Huan sets out to return to Beijing to fulfill his duties

Hedong Road, Zhongzhou, Xi County!
Pushui Ferry!

Early the next morning, Liu Rengui led the Zhongzhou Navy to wait for the arrival of Yu Chihuan, the governor of Zhongzhou.

The soldiers of the Zhongzhou Navy, wearing armor and ten steps, blocked the entire Pushui Ferry.

Today, apart from the civil servants and military generals of Hedong Road who came to see Yuchi Huan back to Beijing, no one else was allowed to go near the ferry!

Early in the morning, the civil and military generals of Zhongzhou came to the ferry to see off Yuchihuan.

They are reluctant to part with Yuchihuan, but they are more happy for Yuchihuan!
Today, the annual tax collected by Zhongzhou is more than a hundred times that of before.

The salaries of local officials in Zhongzhou have also increased by more than ten times.

Their current salaries are higher than those of officials in Changan City, Gyeonggi Province.

And all of this is due to Yu Chihuan's blessing to be in charge of the governor of Zhongzhou.

When Yuchi Huan returns to Beijing to perform his duties, he will surely be promoted!

The local officials in Zhongzhou also hope that Yuchihuan will support them more in the future.

……

At this moment, there are huge crowds of people outside the ferry, and there are local people who are sending off Yuchihuan everywhere!
These common people were still suffering from drought three years ago, their clothes were ragged, and their stomachs were not full.

Now three years have passed, the food in Zhongzhou has increased more than ten times, and all the people can have enough to eat and wear new clothes.

Even those lowly craftsmen can earn enough salaries to support their families every year from the Zhongzhou workshop.

Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, and craftsmen in Zhongzhou now earn no less than farmers, and their children are also eligible to go to school, so they are no longer considered lowly!
But businessmen are still looked down upon, because businessmen are too utilitarian.

At present, all the emerging workshops in Zhongzhou are owned by the imperial court!
The inventor of these emerging workshops is Yuchihuan, and they will be the main source of taxation in the future of Datang.

"The governor of Zhongzhou is here!"

Suddenly, a cavalry team quickly came to Pushui Ferry to guard, and the leading general immediately announced the arrival of Yuchi Huan.

The bustling crowd suddenly fell silent, so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

The same goes for the civil and military generals in Zhongzhou. They stepped on their feet and looked in the direction of Xi County, waiting for the arrival of their Zhongzhou governor.

Da da!

After a while, a plainly dressed carriage came to Pushui Ferry under the escort of cavalry.

On both sides of the carriage were armored soldiers, all of them were generals of the Yuchi family.

Xue Rengui and Cheng Chumo stood on both sides of the carriage, protecting the carriage airtight.

The next moment, Yu Chihuan lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage!
"I will see the governor of Zhongzhou!"

"At the end of the day, I will see the governor of Zhongzhou!"

The civil and military generals of Zhongzhou immediately paid homage to Yuchihuan.

Many of these officials were generals who came from Shizhou, Shuozhou and other places.

"Let's get back together, everyone!"

Yuchihuan nodded, and then walked towards the five-tooth boat.

The civil servants and generals of Hedong Road then stood up straight and watched Yuchihuan leave and board the ship.

Chu Suiliang followed Yuchihuan. He was the governor of the Zhongzhou Governor's Mansion, and Yuchihuan had to accompany him when he returned to Beijing to perform his duties.

However, when Yuchi Huan returned to Beijing, he would definitely recommend Chu Suiliang as the governor of Zhongzhou.

Yu Chihuan believed that Li Er would not refuse his request.

Because Zhongzhou Workshop currently pays 20 guan in taxes to the court every year.

This is equal to one-seventh of the previous court tax!
If the taxes of Yulin City and other places are added, the tax of the entire Hedong Road exceeds 40 guan every year.

This is a very scary income.

When Yu Chihuan first came to Zhongzhou to take up his post, the tax revenue of the entire Tang Dynasty was only more than 100 million guan.

Yu Chihuan waved goodbye to the people of Zhongzhou and the civil and military generals after boarding the Wuya boat.

The people and officials of Zhongzhou also waved goodbye to Yuchihuan.

Xue Rengui, Cheng Chumo and the others also led the generals to board the ship.

"set sail!"

Yuchihuan didn't order the Wuya boat to set sail until everyone had boarded.

"Here!"

Liu Rengui did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the sailors to set sail.

Whoa!
After a while, the Wuya boat lifted anchor and sailed away from Pushui Ferry in Xi County, and the Wuya boat cut through the waves.

Many ordinary people on the bank of Pushui followed the five-tooth boat, and they wanted to take a last look at their favorite Yuchihuan little governor.

Yu Chihuan stood on the bow deck of the Wuya ship and burst into tears.

After three years, he can finally return to Beijing.

Yuchihuan loved the land of Zhongzhou deeply.

The workshops emitting black smoke along the coast were all built by him himself!
What Yu Chihuan paid in Zhongzhou was not only time, but also affection.

Has Princess Changshan of Changle Palace grown up?

"Chang Shan should be a little beauty now, hahaha!"

Yu Chihuan couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought of Princess Changshan's playful baby fat.

But three years have passed, and Princess Changshan is no longer a child, but a beautiful girl!

Yuchihuan is very much looking forward to the moment of reunion with Princess Changshan after a long absence!
Unknowingly, the Wuya boat sailed away from Xi County and entered Daning County!

The ordinary people in Xixian County who chased Yuchihuan also returned in defeat.

The little governor Yuchi they loved finally left Zhongzhou.

Xue Rengui is no longer a naive boy now, and his resolute face has a layer of vicissitudes and maturity.

Xue Rengui's mother He still did not follow Yuchihuan to Chang'an this time.

On the contrary, Mrs. He prefers the native Jiangzhou Xiu Village in Hedong Road!

Yuchi Huan did not embarrass the He family, and directly sent someone to send the He family home in fine clothes!
The dilapidated Xue's house where the He family used to live has now been demolished and rebuilt into a compound with three entrances and three exits - Xue Mansion!
He's still able to receive ten packages of salary from Yuchihuan every month.

With this money, it is enough for Mr. He to live a good life.

Recently, Mrs. He helped Xue Rengui find a daughter-in-law from a scholarly family in his hometown.

Xue Rengui went to Chang'an City to perform his duties this time, and his wife will also go with him!
Yu Chihuan has already helped Xue Rengui buy a house in Taipingfang, Chang'an City, and he can move in when he arrives in Chang'an.

This made Liu Rengui a little envious of Xue Rengui, after all Yuchihuan didn't help him settle down in Chang'an City.

In the afternoon, the five-yark ship of the Zhongzhou Navy finally arrived at the ferry of Longmen County, Jiangzhou, the destination this time.

"Little Dudu Yuchi, the general's wife is at the Longmen Inn, the general is going to pick her up now!"

Xue Rengui then applied to Yu Chihuan to leave the team to pick up his family members.

Yuchi Huan nodded in agreement and said: "Xue Rengui, I have arranged a large guest room for you and your wife in the cabin. You can go back as soon as possible!"

"The last will obey!"

Xue Rengui was overjoyed, he quickly left the Wuya boat, and then ran to the Longmen Inn.

Liu Rengui stared at Xue Rengui's impatient figure, and laughed heartily: "Xue Rengui is lucky, he not only married a prostitute who is a farming and studying heirloom, but also gained the trust of Yuchi's little governor!"

Cheng Chumo echoed: "Without the help of Captain Yuchi, this little fellow Xue Rengui would still be plowing the fields!"

Liu Rengui pointed to Chu Suiliang beside Yu Chihuan and said, "Chu Suiliang's luck is better than Xue Rengui's. He will definitely be promoted this time when he returns to Beijing!"

Cheng Chu nodded silently and said: "Young Governor Yuchi is ready to recommend Chu Suiliang as the governor of Zhongzhou. Zhongzhou is currently Shangzhou, and the governor is a third-rank official!"

When Chu Suiliang heard Cheng Chumo's sour words, he smiled all over his face and said, "The low-ranking officials are today, all thanks to the promotion of the young governor Yuchi!"

When Cheng Chumo and Liu Rengui heard what he said, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and stopped discussing Chu Suiliang behind their backs.
