Guan Xiaoxi stayed in the Wanyan tribe for one night, and set off for his base early the next morning.
He took two people away - the brothers Yu Dingshan and Yu Dinghe.
"Their ambitions are also in the army. Fu Xiaoguan once wrote to me and wanted to marry them. I didn't agree then. Now I have agreed and told them the whole truth."
"Don't worry, they know what's important and what's wrong. Just let them follow you and start as soldiers."
…
"Mom, when can I go find Brother Xiaozhuang?"
"Your brother Xiaozhuang is now the commander of the army in Guanyun City."
"Is this place far from Guanyun City?"
"...It's very far. Let's wait a few days and then I'll take you there."
"Thank you, mother!"
After some time, how long will it take?
Peng Yuyan didn't know, it all depended on when Fu Xiaoguan could win the hearts of the people.
…
…
Northwest of Beijing, Yingcang Prefecture, Xutian County.
Daotai Qin Mowen and Yingcangzhou Zhizhou Fang Wenxing were walking on the ridge of the field with several officials.
This year, the drought in the northwest of Beijing was extremely serious. In seven of the eight prefectures under its jurisdiction, the wheat harvest was only 20% of that of previous years, and there was no rice harvest at all.
Sweet potatoes were not introduced here, and the people faced serious survival problems.
Qin Mowen, under the order of Fu Xiaoguan, was captured by Yan Shidao and talked to for a full three hours!
He set out at the end of April and officially took office in the northwest of Beijing in mid-May. What he saw was a bleak scene.
That guy destroyed the Yu Dynasty. For Qin Mowen, he was extremely shocked, but then he felt relieved.
That guy is not only good at poetry and writing, Qin Mowen, who knows Fu Xiaoguan well, knows how powerful he is.
Under Yu Wendao's rule, the Yu Dynasty not only failed to improve, but was actually declining rapidly. Was this really a problem of Yu Wendao's ability?
Obviously not.
The main reason for this was the aggressive oppression of the Wu Dynasty - both military and economic.
In the military, Fu Xiaoguan established four army corps.
Economically, Wu Dynasty's tax revenue was more than three times that of Yu Dynasty! Moreover, he also held a mountain of gold in his hands.
With financial support, he can build more troops more quickly.
But the Yu Dynasty could not do that. The 300,000 Tiance Army alone made it difficult for Yu Wendao to move forward.
If this situation continues, the consequences are inevitable. The Wu Dynasty will become increasingly powerful, and the Yu Dynasty will become increasingly poor. Until one day, the people of the Yu Dynasty can no longer bear it and they will eventually explode. Even if they cannot destroy the Yu Dynasty, it is inevitable that they will bring heavy damage to it, which will make the situation even worse.
So Yu Wendao had to take the gamble. Since he chose to take the gamble, he must have thought of the consequences.
Perhaps in Yu Wendao's opinion, rather than letting the Yu Dynasty continue to decline like this, it would be better to let it be incorporated into the Wu Dynasty.
After Fu Xiaoguan took over, he made a move to change the dynasty and redivided the administrative regions. This was a brilliant move.
He downplayed the regional concepts in the minds of the people of the Yu Dynasty, which also made it easier for him to govern.
Relying on his strong economic strength, Fu Xiaoguan injected 100 million silver coins into the two areas of Jingxi and Huainan that were affected by disasters this year. This not only solved the survival problems of the victims, but also laid a solid agricultural foundation.
Standing on the ridge of the field, Qin Mowen looked at the drainage and irrigation ditches that had been repaired in Xutian County, and was full of admiration for Fu Xiaoguan.
"This trick is actually not new. He first used it in Xishan, then in Chi Lechuan, and now he's using it here again. But even with such an old trick, the effect is the best!"
Qin Mowen added with emotion, "Wenxing, the construction projects in Yingcang Prefecture under your rule are progressing the fastest. Winter is almost here, and we have to hurry up and organize the villagers to build schools and clinics. The grain shipped from Mozhou has stabilized prices. If the people can earn a few more silver coins, they can have some pork for the New Year."
Fang Wenxing also had a lot of feelings.
He bowed to Qin Mowen and said, "I will arrange it later. This is what I want to say. Your Excellency, can you buy some sweet potatoes from Mozhou at the beginning of the new year? They are cheap and effective. We can plant more of them on those dry lands."
"That fellow An Liuyue sent me a letter saying that sweet potatoes are excellent for raising pigs. I want to vigorously promote these fragrant pigs in Yingcang next year and try to increase some income for the people."
Qin Mowen thought about it and nodded, "Yingcang has a lot of land but little farmland, so this is a solution. After I finish my inspection and return to Chang'an Prefecture, I will submit a memorial to His Majesty and try to secure funding for agricultural support."
An Liuyue was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express her gratitude, but Qin Mowen sighed, "Our Majesty is not in Guanyun City right now."
“…Where did he go?”
"He ran out to sea and hasn't been heard from since."
His Majesty is really bold. Daxia has only been established for a few months, and he is so confident and bold to go out to sea?
An Liuyue was puzzled, and Qin Mowen laughed again, "Going to sea is a good thing. Do you know that all the money allocated was snatched back from the sea by Bai Yulian? A full three hundred million!"
An Liuyue's mouth suddenly opened wide, "...Three hundred million silver?"
"Yeah," Qin Mowen smiled and shook his head. "Think about the Yu Dynasty. The tax revenue was only 20 million taels of silver. This... how can we compare it?"
There's really no comparison.
An Liuyue took dozens of breaths to digest this news. "This is good news. Since so much silver can be fished out of the sea, the rise of Daxia is just around the corner."
Qin Mowen nodded and said, "Let's go and see those farmers and see if they need any help from the government."
…
…
Fu Xiaoguan ran out to sea, but all the people in the Daxia government were busy.
Be it the three prime ministers of the three provinces, or the two governors-general Fan Tianning or Yan Shidao, from top to bottom, all of them are working diligently for the stability and prosperity of Daxia.
In the new Daxia, Fu Xiaoguan appointed many new officials.
Many of these officials have accepted his philosophy of governing the country, and now they implement these philosophy meticulously in their respective positions.
"Serve the people wholeheartedly!"
This is the highest purpose of this concept, and at least in the existing government agencies, no one dares to violate it.
It is also because of this that all the people saw an honest and efficient government agency, and saw that those officials who were once high and mighty now went down to the fields, cared about them, and even worked with them.
Especially the people of the former Yi and Fan states, they found it simply unimaginable to see this scene.
They were even frightened for several days before they finally accepted it. Now they understand that these officials are different from previous officials.
These officials are younger, more energetic, and more casual and friendly.
They said that it was Daxia now, and they also said that this was all ordered by His Majesty, the Emperor of Daxia.
"Your children will be able to go to school for free next spring."
"The lonely elderly people in the village will be able to live in a warm nursing home before winter comes."
"You must eat your fill. Don't worry about running out of food. There's plenty of it. His Majesty said no one should be left hungry!"
The people have the simplest minds, so such an emperor is of course the best emperor.
Within half a year, all the people of Daxia had returned home.
