There was a side courtyard next to Xue Chongxun's headquarters, which seemed quite clean. He was about to practice martial arts and exercise his muscles and bones in the morning, but when he entered the door, he found that there were actually a group of chickens in the yard!

The court institutions are now in Chang'an, and chickens are actually raised in the yamen of the Dongdu. I don't know who raised them. Xue Chongxun suddenly saw this situation and couldn't help but feel funny.

A Zaoli at the door hurriedly came up and said, "My husband, please forgive me, I will drive them away immediately."

At this time, Xue Chongxun saw a rooster chasing a hen. He suddenly felt interesting, so he raised his hand to stop him and said: No, I see that they are quite interesting.

Zaoli was stunned and didn't know why, and Sanniang next to her was speechless.Xue Chongxun seemed to have a childlike heart, so he asked the soap li with a handful of corn and threw it on the ground to tease the chickens.

A group of chickens competed to peck at the rice for a while, and the game between the rooster and the hen began again.

The little rooster was chasing the smooth-feathered hen that was pecking rice; the hen fled everywhere with its wings, but unfortunately it was caught up by the little rooster.

The little rooster just climbed onto the hen's back, but unexpectedly, a majestic big rooster came out halfway and rushed up to peck at the little rooster.

The two roosters then stretched their necks and started fighting, but the difference in height was too big. Within two rounds, the rooster fled.

So the big rooster occupied the place where Xue Chongxun scattered rice, summoned the chickens to eat rice there, and from time to time he raised one foot and flapped his wings to tease the hen. The hen did not run away, pecking the rice around the big rooster.

The defeated little rooster wanted to come over to peck at rice several times, but was chased away by the big rooster.

Look, the mission of competing for the sake of things.Xue Chongxun pointed at the chickens and said to Sanniang.

Sanniang seemed to have no interest in such boring things, and she didn't reply, but just stood by her side with her arms silently.

Xue Chongxun pondered: It would be even better if that hen was not committed to it because the big rooster could fight... If humans can only be like all things in nature, then it would be better for us to be that majestic big rooster, what do you think?

Sanniang still didn't say anything, making Xue Chongxun feel like she was talking to herself.

At this moment, Fang Yuzhong walked in, clasped his fists and said: "Report to Mr., the letter has come from Xijing, I have just arrived."

After saying that, he handed over a letter, Xue Chongxun lifted up his sleeves, reached out to take it, and tore it apart to see it.

The letter from my mother said two things. One is that the person Xue Chongxun wanted had already come to the east with the censor and arrived soon; the other is that the situation on the canal is not good for him, but it is not a big deal. The prime minister in Taiping is preparing to sacrifice some people in exchange for initiative and public opinion, so that Xue Chongxun does not have to intervene, but just do another more critical thing.

After seeing this, Xue Chongxun pondered alone and said, "Just wait for Liu An... This Liu envoy is not brave enough and is too cautious, so I can wait."

……

call!Suddenly, a strong wind shocked Liu An's heart. When he looked up, he saw that the branches were blown and swaying constantly. He couldn't help but sigh, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind continued to stop.

The staff sitting on the stone bench took over the conversation and said: The wind coming from Beijing is indeed not very good.

Liu An frowned and walked in small steps: like walking on thin ice.In the officialdom, if you take a wrong step, you will be in a life of despair and will be slow to achieve results, but if you make a wrong step, your luck will deteriorate...

The staff member also nodded and said: Envoy Liu is indeed in a dilemma.

It’s better to be in a dilemma, but the difficulty is that there is no way around, it’s too late now!

Liu An said in frustration, originally thinking that Your Highness will definitely be able to stabilize, but who would think that before others started to take action, we will first commit suicide.

The past cannot be compared with the past. In the past, His Highness wanted to open the scene, but now she wanted to win people's hearts.Last time she tried hard to recommend Lu Xiang as prime minister, so we should see the transformation and adjustment strategies, keeping pace with the times... Lu Xiangxian is very famous, but he is a gentleman who is as calm as water and is indifferent by nature. He will never give advice to His Highness how to deal with the prince. This person is useless at all!Why does Your Highness value him?It's just a name.

Liu An wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and said: After you said this, it seems that it is really the case... Are there any remedies now?

The staff thought: Last time, Duke Wei asked for 70%, why didn’t he just give him 70%?

Liu An glared and said: Then what should we take to Chang'an?

The staff said: I won’t send you to Chang’an anymore.Anyway, Xue Chongxun was originally from Princess Taiping's family. He took 70% of the city. Can we blame us?

Liu An lowered his head and pondered, looked at the staff, and murmured: This is a move... Duke Wei took the big head, he was just a tall man. If he really wanted to fall, he had to hold on first.He said it clearly at that time, and I thought about it this way, but I was not sure whether this person was reliable or not.

Now, please make a decision!The staff said firmly.

Liu An stretched out his fair and slightly swollen hand, stopped in the air and hesitated for a while, then he looked ruthless and pointed to the door and said: Let's go, follow me to Xue Lang's headquarters.

The two then took a bus to Xue Chongxun's residence, asked him clearly where he was, and turned around to the side courtyard next to him.

As soon as he reached the door, Xue Chongxun had already come out and said with a smile on his face: Liu Jun, I have been waiting for you for a long time!

Liu An walked forward and said with a little embarrassed look: Shame... Shame...

Xue Chongxun patted his shoulder carelessly and said with his hand: It's okay, it's not too late.You will understand in the future that it is definitely a very correct decision to come to me today.

I have already thought about it. The accounts in various places will be collected soon, and 70% of them will be given to Xue Lang!Liu An whispered.

Haha... Xue Chongxun raised his head and laughed, then put the things he grabbed in his hand into Liu An's palm.Liu An opened his palm and looked down. It was a handful of rice, and he was immediately confused.

He hurriedly thought about the meaning of it: What does a handful of rice mean? Does it mean Lumi?Liu An suddenly thought, could it mean that he would give Lu Mi to him after he was in office?

Although this explanation is a bit far-fetched, the more Liu An thinks about it, the more he is. In this situation, what else can he have to put a handful of Lumi into his hands?

This is to suggest that it is time to express allegiance!

Liu An then stopped hesitating, and immediately clasped his fists and said: Liu is willing to follow the leader of the Duke of Wei in the future and rely solely on his mission.

Let’s talk about it later.Xue Chongxun brought him into the yard and turned around and went to get a canal drawing.

The two entered the yard and came to an empty room. When the slave presented the drawing, Xue Chongxun spread the drawings on the table and waved to him: Envoy Liu came to see.

Liu An didn't know what Xue Chongxun was going to do, so he had to walk to the table and look at it. He saw a very ordinary picture, and it was even more coarse than the grain-loss drawings used in the yamen.

Xue Chongxun didn't care about the roughness of the drawings. He looked flushed and pointed at the drawings with enthusiasm: I came east along the canal and I had already figured out that the grain transport time from Lingnan to Chang'an was eleven months!It will take nine months to go from Hangzhou to Chang'an!For such a long period of transportation, not only does it require eating most of the food, but it also requires dangerous roads and bandits. The world's taxes and taxes and Chang'an are extremely difficult and costly things. Is there any way to change it?

Liu An pondered: There is nothing we can do about man fighting with heaven, but if we can clear the administration of officials and responsibilities, and be able to be harmonious with the government, it may be able to reduce the burden on the people.

Xue Chongxun said in surprise: You are just thinking too much. I will tell you the method of transportation of the canal. Why did you get involved in the administration?We are officials of the Ministry of Revenue, not from the Ministry of Personnel. What's the matter with us?

Liu Andao: Official governance is the foundation of political communication, so the first thing I think of is official governance.What good strategies does Duke Wei have?

Xue Chongxun thought that Liu An, an official who had worked in the Ministry of Revenue for many years, had much more experience in government management than himself, and he had no choice. Could it be that the method he came up with was really a talk on paper and could not be actually operated?

Thinking of this, Xue Chongxun's excitement was much more restrained, and he was vaguely unconfident, so he said: Then let me talk about this method first. Envoy Liu is an old official. Please give me some details. Can it be implemented?

Please tell us clearly.

Xue Chongxun thought for a while and said: My method is called the four-stage method. In a word, the river boat does not enter the Bian River, the Bian boat does not enter the Yellow River, and the river boat does not enter the Wei River.There are two major benefits to transport in segments: First, ships in various waters can navigate in familiar waters to reduce accidents; second, there is no need to wait for the river to rise and fall, saving time for staying.The four-section law is accompanied by two additional decrees: the storage and employment law.The storage and warehouse storage method sets up transfer granaries in Yangzhou, Biankou, Heyin, Weikou and other places. After taxes come up, they only need to transport them to various places in sections, and only wait for the suitable shipping season, and then transport them to Chang'an by transshipment.The employment method is to save the time of grain transporters and reduce the burden on hundreds of people. The government will hire ships and provide military escorts. In this way, there is no need to leave grain transporters to stay at various passes, and there is no need to worry about bandits and reduce losses.Liu Envoy, please refer to it for details. Can these three methods be implemented?

Liu An remained silent for a long time, his face changed extremely richly. He was excited and thought hard for a while. After a long time, he said: Duke Wei wants 70% of his money, just to use the money for reform?

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: That's exactly that!Building warehouses, building ships, connecting rivers, hiring people, what don’t need money?I thought of this four-stage method very early on, and I was worried that I would not have money. Now it’s good, but I have money, and I think it’s still very feasible.

Where is it very feasible?Liu An said in a daze.

Xue Chongxun frowned and said: Why, what's the problem?

Liu An sighed: Today, Liu's admiration for Duke Wei is no longer false!This method is truly a combination of heaven and man, a wonderful strategy for the vastness of ancient times and the present, and a world-governing strategy!Admiration and emotion, heroes come from teenagers, but Mr. Liu is not convinced...

Ha ha!Xue Chongxun immediately laughed, Liu Jun, your compliment is too exaggerated, but I feel comfortable listening to it.

Liu An breathed a sigh of relief: Why didn’t Duke Wei say it earlier?If I had known this clever plan, I wouldn't have to worry about it for so long.

Xue Chongxun put his waist on his waist and said proudly: I'm just waiting for the people from the prince to slap the stone in the face, so that they can make a fuss. The bigger the quarrel and the more fierce the public opinion, the more glorious we are, haha...
