"You go to the posthouse to rest first, and I will send someone to deliver the letter after I finish writing it. You can just take my letter back and reply. The decree of Wu Jun's tax halving next year will be sent to Zhang Taishou's desk soon. "

Liu Yishou was so knowledgeable and interesting, King Gu Ye did not expect it.When he was young, he thought that Xiao Huan would become inflated after the other party supported Xiao Huan, but he was still as alert and low-key as before, thinking about everything first.

"In that case, I will thank the King of Wu on behalf of Zhang Taishou."

After King Gu Ye left, Liu Yishou heaved a sigh of relief and went back to his study to write a letter to Zhang Sheng.

Sure enough, supporting Xiao Huan to take the position, and calling for the Northern Expedition of the three Wu disciples, these two moves are right!Wu Jun contributed money and effort to support the Northern Expedition, so it may be that he did not mean to bet on him, Liu.

Probably, it is also because I have made these few moves so amazing that I am considered to have investment value.In troubled times, only if you show your extraordinary ability, will someone be loyal to you, optimistic about you, and invest in you.

This is the iron law of politics.

Liu Yishou sneered, Xiao Ying and Chen Baxian were so ignorant of flattery, and the attitudes of the Three Wus were so different, this wave will make Xiao Ying and the others unable to finish eating!

Soon, the Jiankang Center issued an order to commend Zhang Sheng, the prefect of Wujun, for supporting the Northern Expedition. In order to reduce the burden on the elders of Wujun, the tax burden will be halved next year, so that when soldiers are fighting outside, they don't have to worry about taxes at home.

Regarding the large amount of grain and fodder sent by ships from Kuaiji, Liu Yi ordered people to build a "Danyang warehouse" in Danyang to store the grain and fodder in Danyang to help the self-cultivators and tenants who lost their harvest due to the delay in farming due to the chaos in Jiankang.

For a while, the situation in and around Jiankang City was stable!Many people observed and estimated the future of the regime from the government's decrees. Seeing that Liu Yishou took charge of the government and took care of the people's livelihood, everything was slowly getting on the right track. The "Ceremony of Talent Promotion" that no one paid attention to before suddenly became lively.

Many people around Jiankang came here especially to participate in the assessment.

……

"next."

Liu Yishou yawned, and Yu Jin and others around him shook their heads.The strong man on the field looked fierce, but he couldn't lift the cauldron and retreated resentfully.

"My lord, this person who participated in the assessment is not very good. He can't even lift the cauldron. There is no next one. This is the last one."

Yu Jin whispered helplessly in Liu Yishou's ear.

"Okay, five have been selected. It's okay to be a senior in the army or something."

Liu Yishou sighed, he didn't know what was going on, there was really no talent in this round of assessment.

Those who can wield knives and clubs are illiterate, and those who are strong don't know how to fight.

Of course, Liu Yishou had to admit that he couldn't lift the cauldron himself.But Yu Jin and others can easily lift it up, so it's not that the assessment is very difficult, right?

"Let's go, go to the wine shop beside Qingxi to have a drink, this can be regarded as understanding the people's sentiments."

Liu Yishou sighed, a little lost in spirit.Why did my body tremble, my aura of domineering radiated, and there were no heroes from all over the place to come to seek refuge?

He is already a high-ranking and powerful person, and the Jiankang court has issued a recruitment order to serve as a guarantee, so it is a bit unreasonable that no one has turned to him.Of course, it wasn't that there were no people. To be exact, the assessment site was crowded with people.

But there is not a single real talent, most of them are crooked melons and cracked dates.

Liu Yishou took Yu Jin, Yuan Shikang and others, all changed into patched linen clothes, went out of Taicheng, and came to Qingxi to the north of Dongfu City to play.

Along the Qingxi River, there are stretches of shops and restaurants, and now they have restored the prosperity of the past.Although many people died in Jiankang City when Xiao Yi came to attack the city, Xiao Yi was not Hou Jing after all, and he did not carry out organized killings in the city.

The capital of a country will never be short of people.The dead left empty seats, and outsiders would come in and fill them.

Today's Jiankang is like this. Liu Yishou's strategy of calming the people has played a big role. Those empty houses in Jiankang City, those houses that were destroyed by the war, will soon have successors.

A few people randomly found a small restaurant. This kind of place has a small facade, but a large yard.Most of the time, customers leave after buying wine, and rarely sit inside to drink.

At this moment, the restaurant was very quiet, except for a young man who looked to be in his 20s, who was blushing and about to pass out from drinking.There are many wine jars around him, and one can tell at a glance that this guy is an alcoholic.

Liu Yishou found a table and sat down, and asked the waiter in the shop, "If someone gets drunk at your place, what should you do?"

He pointed to the young man who was already drunk and asked.

"That's my master. He was drunk and slept directly in the store."

The young waiter said angrily, his words were very unreasonable.

"Your master doesn't have this bit of majesty? Can a slave arrange his master like this?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously.

"I hope he has a bit of majesty, but look at him like a dead man, what kind of majesty does he have?"

The servant said bitterly, obviously the kind who has a sense of belonging to the master's family.

Liu Yishou nodded calmly. Although there is no such thing as equality for everyone these days, there are still masters who treat their servants well.Especially the generals who joined the army, the Ding family generals in the family have a close relationship with their masters, and they can die for them after going into battle.

"What happened to your master?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously.

"I'm just telling you, don't tell others."

The waiter came to Liu Yishou's ear and whispered: "My master is a close friend of Xiao Jie, the servant of Huangmen, and he was planning to follow him to the south of Guangzhou to lead the army. I didn't expect that Liu Yishou, who is now named King of Wu, would take Xiao Jie I'm slaughtered! Now all the dignitaries in Jiankang regard my master as a snake and scorpion, and they can't avoid it. My master has no hope of official career, so he can only drink to drink all day long, what can I do?"

Which onion is Xiao Jie?

Liu Yishou was taken aback for a moment, this was such a huge pot of pressure, it really made people speechless.Moreover, the servants can actually talk about government affairs, the owner of this family is really bohemian.

"Who is Xiao Jie?"

After the young man in the hall left, Yu Jin asked with a speechless face.

Chapter 417 Killing with a Soft Knife

Liu Yishou searched his mind a lot, and because of Xiao Yujin, he almost recognized all the people in the Nanliang clan, and it seemed that there was no one named Xiao Jie.

Then I recalled Xiao Qi's clan in the previous dynasty, it seems that there is no one named Xiao Jie, who is this guy?

The waiter was a sensible person, seeing Liu Yishou's complexion changed, he changed the topic, brought some jars of good wine, and then went to greet his master who was drunk.

"Xiao Yi's rebellious army attacked the city, and many courtiers were in Taicheng at that time, maybe someone was shot and died..."

Yu Jin whispered in Liu Yishou's ear.

Well, it does.

Liu Yishou nodded calmly, and stopped paying attention to this matter.

"My lord, this time the land of the Three Wus has different attitudes towards the north. From my point of view, the matter of destroying Wu Xing can be done in advance, so as not to cause problems."

Yu Jin is also a person with a great sense of the overall situation. This time, Wu Jun and Kuaiji in the land of the Three Wus are all submissive, and Wu Xing seems to be very aggressive. He can teach this early bird a lesson.

"How do you think it's going to be handled?"

Liu Yishou asked in a deep voice.

"Shen Ke and others who wrote to Wu Xing, Chen Ming has a lot of interests. If they are still stubborn, then these people can be cleaned up together, and no one will say that the lord is cruel and heartless."

Yu Jin said slowly, he believed that Liu Yishou could also think of these things, but the effect would be different after all if he said it from his own mouth.

Courteous first and then soldiers, bypassing Chen Baxian and others, and contacting Wu Xinghao.It has to be said that this idea is generally very symptomatic.

"The Master said: Killing without teaching is called cruelty, not treating it as violence is called violence, delaying order until the end is called thief, just like dealing with others, and being stingy with cashiers is called being in charge. Let's bring it to the fore, if those people If you don't listen, don't blame me, Mr. Liu, for being cruel.

I have my own opinion on this matter, you don't have to worry about it. "

Liu Yishou nodded slightly, but actually he didn't take Wu Xing's local tyrants seriously.

These local snakes can only display their strength when they are in a group to keep warm. Now the influential Zhang, Zhu, Lu, and Gu in the Three Wus have all compromised to survive. Liu Yishou doesn't believe that Chen Baxian can make any waves.

"Master, regarding the Northern Expedition...Qing Xu seems to be going back and forth, and the gain outweighs the loss."

After thinking for a long time, Yu Jin suppressed such a sentence.Liu Yishou just told his subordinates that he wanted to go to the Northern Expedition, but he didn't say where to take it as a breakthrough point.The caliber to the outside world is to send troops to Qingxu, and the transportation of grain and fodder is also to the Lianghuai River as the destination.

But what exactly Liu Yishou planned in his heart, no one knows.

"If you can, show that you can't; if you can't, show that you can."

Liu Yishou turned his palms over and said meaningfully.If the king does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, and if his ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his body. This Northern Expedition has a lot to do with it, and Liu Yishou is very tight-lipped. No matter who it is, he does not reveal a word.

He knew very well in his heart that if someone said to you, "I only tell you this matter, you must not tell others", then this matter is one step away from being known to the world.

At this moment, the young waiter came over and politely said to Liu Yishou and the others: "Your words are so offensive, I won't charge for this drink."

Hearing this, Liu Yishou and Yu Jin looked at each other, thinking that the owner of this store is really a wonderful person, even when he was drunk, he could still give correct orders.

"After sunset tomorrow, let your master take these three copper coins and come find me by the Xuanwu Lake behind Jiming Mountain."

Liu Yishou took out three Wen coins from his cuff, put them on the table, and winked at Jin.

The two got up and left, leaving the waiter staring at their backs with disdain on his face.

"Heh, I didn't want to take your money, and I hypocritically left three Wen coins. It's iron money again. I'm pissed!"

……

Don't look at Wu Xing's refusal of Jiankang's call-up order, which seems very chic, in fact, the internal affairs have long been divided into two factions.

Xiao Ying, the prefect of Wu Xing, Chen Baxian who joined the army as a direct soldier, and Shen Ke and Shen Xun from Wu Xing's wealthy Shen family all strongly advocated rejecting the imperial court's recruitment.In addition to personal selfishness, the main thing is to take out real money and food and soldiers to "feed the dogs", but they are also full of bitterness and don't know what to say.

If Jiankang didn't act as a monster, why did they brazenly confront the court?

However, within Wu Xing, Chen Baxian and the others were not in agreement.

Tian Cao joined the army, and Yao Sengyuan, who was born in a medical family, discussed that Cao was engaged in Zhang Fashang and others, so he felt that there was no need to fight openly and fiercely against the court.It is not an unconventional operation to recruit soldiers, money and food. It has been the rule for hundreds of years in the Southern Dynasties.

Since Jiankang is asking for it, just give it a little!

If there is a rebellion due to such a small matter, there will be almost no day in the land of the Southern Dynasties without trouble!In order to fulfill the quota of soldiers, it is not uncommon for local officials to go to the countryside to tie up people with ropes. Now the food in Jiankang is already very good!

But even if the voices of these opposition groups are not small, it is useless, because the military power in Wuxing County is controlled by Xiao Ying and Wu Xingshen.

On this day, the latest government decree sent by Jiankang, as well as the transfer orders of many Wu Xing officials, were placed on Xiao Ying's desk.

"Yao Sengyuan entered the Imperial Hospital and led the doctor. Zhang Fashang entered Jiankang and served as the servant of the Huangmen, and entered the center to take orders at the Shangshufu. Chen Ba was first transferred to Guangzhou as the prefect, Shen Ke was transferred to Xiangyang as a direct soldier to join the army, and Shen Xun was transferred to Pengcheng Joining the army as a direct soldier..."

Xiao Ying looked at this official transfer order with the emperor's seal, and her anger was suppressed to a critical point, and she was about to explode.

Occupying the central Jiankang means controlling the so-called "righteousness" and the right to appoint and remove officials!This is an advantage that the local power faction can't offset anyway.Now, Xiao Ying felt the deep malice from Jiankang Taicheng from this thin piece of paper.

A transfer order from an official can dismantle your power to pieces, whether you say it's powerful or not, you can't hate it!

It doesn't matter if you resist the decree alone, do you want to lead a group of people to resist the decree?

And you said you didn't want to rebel?

Xiao Ying could imagine that Chen Baxian might refuse the transfer order, but Yao Sengyuan and others definitely wouldn't.

Perhaps Shen's attitude is also hard to say.

"What does Xingguo think?"

Xiao Ying helplessly asked Chen Baxian who was beside him. The latter's face was stiff, and he seemed to be a little distracted by the sudden "soft knife".

"Now, we have to gather all the people involved to discuss countermeasures."

Chen Baxian said with a sigh.

Blocking someone's way of making money is like killing their parents, blocking someone's way of officialdom is equivalent to killing the whole family!Although this official transfer order was sent to Wu Xingcheng's government office, it was not Xiao Ying who could make the decision!

The word Xiao Ying was simply not mentioned in the transfer order!

"Until today, I didn't understand why Liu Yishou was able to marry the princess."

Chen Baxian said with a sigh.This person's level of scheming is truly extraordinary.This guy is not just a person who can command and fight!

Is it because he is handsome that he can marry a princess?

Xiao Ying felt weird, and didn't know what Chen Baxian was thinking, so he could only sigh along with him.

The matter was so important that several people on the transfer order were called to discuss matters in the lobby of the government office.

"This person is deep in thought and good at dancing. He can't be guessed by common sense, alas!"

After reading this transfer order, Shen Ke sighed deeply, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart that could not be expressed to others.

This is like running a race with others. Even if the Olympic champion is in front of you, you may not be convinced in your heart, thinking "I can touch the edge if I work hard."

But to compare the speed with the plane, that is a desperate thing.No matter how arrogant a person is, there will be a feeling of powerlessness in his heart.

Sure enough, Yao Sengyuan, who is in his 30s, said with a smile: "The family has practiced medicine for generations, and a certain inherits the mantle to study medicine. He is planning to resign from his post in the county and practice hard behind closed doors. I didn't expect that the center would be transferred to the Imperial Hospital, and it happened to be completed. So , then I will take my leave and prepare to go to Jiankang to take up my post."

After finishing speaking, Yao Sengyuan got up to say goodbye, and walked away!

It doesn't matter if you leave, but once you leave, your family's attitude will change accordingly!

Xiao Ying shouted wildly in her heart, but it was a pity that Yao Sengyuan couldn't hear her heart, otherwise she would definitely sneer at Xiao Ying.

He was opposed to confronting the imperial court, but now this order just allows the family to get rid of the dilemma, why bother to continue to entangle with Xiao Ying and others here?You are not my father?

This seemingly simple transfer order has actually investigated their personal backgrounds, and every move is aimed at the most deadly place!It seems that there are only more than 100 words, but the calculation behind this is frightening.

Not only Yao Sengyuan, but also Shen Ke and Shen Xun were a little tempted.After all, they were out of the vortex of Wu Xing, even if the imperial court brought troops to exterminate Chen Baxian and others, it had nothing to do with them.
