Jia Yao didn't say another word until he returned to the palace.
No one knows what Jia Yao is thinking.
But everyone knows that Jia Yao was indeed shocked today.
Weren't they shocked too?
Seeing Jia Yao being sent back to the courtyard where she was imprisoned, the women couldn't help but sigh.
Yun Zheng didn't think too much about it and called Ye Zi and the others over.
Ye Zi selected talents from various cities to serve as attendants and consultants to the royal palace to help her handle some government affairs.
Yun Zheng had spent a lot of time fighting outside, so he didn't know many of the people here, except for two people who had helped Ye Zi deal with various matters in the palace before. Ye Zi introduced them to Yun Zheng one by one.
Yun Zheng felt that the current situation already had the rudiments of a cabinet.
In the future, you can follow this method.
...
...
However, we must find more capable people to form a formal cabinet.
Maybe, Ye Zi could even become the female prime minister of the cabinet or something.
Also, once we have enough money, we will build a formal government office.
Previously, due to high expenses, there was not enough money and time to build the Jiedushi's office, but now that Beihuan has been pacified, it is time to put this matter on the agenda.
He didn't want to turn his palace into a government office, where he would have to deal with endless government affairs all day long.
After Ye Zi finished introducing Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng began to ask about Shuobei's internal affairs.
Shuobei's financial situation remains grim.
Although there is Zhang Xu, the God of Wealth, helping to make money, Shuobei's expenses are really too high.
Yun Zheng and his men were fighting on the front line, and they just focused on charging and killing.
But they need a lot of support from the rear.
Smelting iron, forging weapons and armor, expanding grain routes, etc. all require huge amounts of money.
The fighting was in full swing in the front, and although the people in the rear were not living in dire straits, they were also suffering terribly.
However, the good news is that with the opening up of the Fuzhou frontier, many poor people from the interior have moved to Shuobei with the mentality of giving it a try.
Ye Zi also followed Yun Zheng's instructions and gave those people two choices.
First, they could reclaim wasteland by themselves, and whatever land they reclaimed would belong to them, and they would be exempted from taxes for six years.
Second, the government allocated land to them based on the number of people, but they were only tax-free for one year.
If there is no food, the government will provide food, but it will not be free. After they settle down, the food will be counted as their taxes.
Because of these policies, most people chose to reclaim the wasteland themselves.
At present, a temporary town has appeared in the triangular center of Beiluguan, Mayi and Moyang.
Most of the people in the town moved in from the interior and were temporarily settled there.
Those people had just arrived and did not have time to build houses. Of course, they did not have enough money to build houses. Ye Zi sent people to allocate some tents to provide temporary shelter for those people.
Later, Ye Zi plans to build markets, roads, etc. there.
In this way, in addition to reclaiming wasteland, those people can also work in exchange for silver or food.
Recently, Ye Zi has also been discussing with the people in charge of internal affairs some more complete policies to resettle these people. While Yun Zheng is here, Ye Zi will give the preliminary policies to Yun Zheng to look at and let Yun Zheng make the decision.
These policies are considered very humane in the Dangdai Dynasty.
According to these policies, people who moved to Shuobei could settle down there even if they were poor, as long as they were not lazy.
Of course, if you are a lazy person, you can't blame others even if you starve to death.
Yun Zheng took a look and found that there was basically no need to make major changes. He just made slight changes to a few small places and asked Ye Zi to implement the current policy.
Afterwards, Ye Zi brought out the thing that Yun Zheng was most afraid of seeing.
Account book!
Yun Zheng just took a quick look and felt overwhelmed.
The silver in the entire Shuobei treasury is almost negligible.
There was only more than one million taels of silver left in Yun Zheng's private treasury.
This is because Zhang Xu is constantly helping him make money.
The silver he brought from the imperial city had long been spent!
Moreover, this does not include the pensions for the soldiers who died in this battle and the rewards for those who have made contributions.
If all those were taken into account, his more than one million taels of silver would definitely not be enough.
Looking at the account book in front of him, Yun Zheng wished he could send the Eighteen Ghost Riders to break into the interior and rob the rich to help the poor.
Damn it!
This money seems to be a lot, but when it comes to spending it, I can't help but spend it.
"Okay, you all go get busy!"
Yun Zheng rubbed his head, then stood up and took Ye Zi's hand, "Walk with me!"
Ye Zi smiled and followed Yun Zheng to the garden of the palace.
"Are you starting to worry about money?"
Ye Zi asked Yun Zheng with a smile.
"A little bit sad, but it's okay."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, then told Ye Zi about his idea of setting up a cabinet and letting her serve as the prime minister.
“That won’t work!”
Ye Zi refused without thinking, "Before, it was because you were leading the army in Sanbian City that I was forced to do this, but now the war is over, I can't..."
"Hear me out."
Yun Zheng interrupted Ye Zi, "It's fine for me to lead troops in battle, but I'm really not cut out for handling these complicated internal affairs!"
"If there is a cabinet, the detailed government affairs can be handed over to the cabinet to handle, and I will only be responsible for controlling the general direction!"
"You continue to take care of these matters for the time being, and then change them when you find a suitable person..."
Ye Zi is indeed his good wife.
If Ye Zi hadn't helped him deal with these things, it would have been very difficult to sort them out!
At present, Ye Zi is definitely the most suitable person to do this.
But he also didn't want his woman to be too tired, so he would definitely find someone to replace Ye Zi in the future.
"All right!"
Since Yun Zheng said so, Ye Zi would not refuse, "Then I will continue to manage these matters for the time being! You should also hurry up and find suitable candidates. It is not appropriate for a woman like me to manage these matters all the time! The cabinet you mentioned can be formalized first, and then the cabinet can be officially established after the official personnel are decided."
"Yes, that's what I thought."
Yun Zheng put his arm around Ye Zi's waist and said with a smile, "We are really in tune with each other and have the same thoughts again."
Feeling Yun Zheng's big hands playing tricks on her waist, Ye Zi couldn't help but look at him shyly.
Ye Zi leaned in Yun Zheng's arms, walked a few steps with him, and suddenly let out a soft sigh.
"What's wrong?"
Yun Zheng asked with a smile.
Ye Zi smiled and said, "I was just thinking that Jia Yao must be more suitable for this than me, but unfortunately... Alas..."
As he spoke, Ye Zi sighed again.
"Don't even think about it."
Yun Zheng shook his head and said, "We have no shortage of talented people in Da Gan, but we haven't found the right ones yet! I'll put out a recruitment notice later, and I'm sure I'll find the right ones! It's not hard to find the right people, but it's hard to find people you can trust."
The reason why Ye Zi was asked to take charge of these matters temporarily was not only because Ye Zi had talent, but also because Yun Zheng absolutely trusted her.
Talented, virtuous, and trustworthy.
Such people are really hard to find.
If it really doesn't work, you'll have to cultivate it yourself.
“That’s true.”
Ye Zi nodded, "I discovered a very talented person before, but later found out that he was a spy sent by the prince. Mother has ordered someone to secretly execute him."
