【Chapter 887】Give roses, hand has fragrance

Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and the counties in Hanzhong were in order.

After successfully recovering Hanzhong County, Liangzhou Governor Li Xuan immediately led more than 50 civil officials to the Nanzheng County Governor's Office to sort out government affairs.

At this point, Hanzhong County was included in the jurisdiction of the Liangzhou Governor's Office, with Fa Zheng as the prefect of Hanzhong, Huang Zhong as the garrison general of Hanzhong, and led his subordinate Qin Gong Camp to Hanzhong. Cao Xing served as the garrison general of Jiameng Pass, guarding the important transportation routes entering and leaving Yizhou.

In addition, Pei Qian was promoted to the prefect of Wudu County, and Yang Ang was appointed as the commander of the military commander of Wudu County; Yan Pu replaced Pei Qian as the chief officer of the General's Mansion, following Li Li.

At the same time, Hanzhong County and Yongliang Prefectures were governed simultaneously, abolished the original tax laws, changed to the 37 tax system, and strictly enforced the laws of land, tenants and entourages. Any family of officials or powerful gentry, entourages and maids must be registered and registered, and the family of dukes and marquis must not exceed 300 entourages, and the land and real estate will be checked. All lands beyond the provisions of the new law will be confiscated and redistributed.

After the implementation of the new law, within ten days, all counties in Hanzhong were completely renewed. The people in the city praised each other and rushed to tell each other. Tens of thousands of refugees were booked and settled, and all were divided into houses and land.

Therefore, during the past ten days, the counties in Hanzhong were very busy, and the people were smiling happily. The market was extremely lively, but no one dared to cause trouble. The public security was good and the order was in good order.

When Li Xuan, Fa Zheng, Huang Zhong and others were so busy that they turned around, Li Li sat with Zhou Yu and had a leisurely tea and had a good chat.

"I heard that Meng Qi went to the military camp to find you last night and asked you to go to Fufeng to plead with his father Ma Teng?" Li Li said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu looked a little strange and shook his head helplessly, "This is true. However, the lord knew that Mo Jiang was not familiar with Ma Teng's prefect. He couldn't speak at all, but Meng Qi asked me to talk to him and Miss Qiying to persuade his father to agree to their marriage. I said I could do nothing, but Meng Qi was unyielding and begged each other. I had no choice but to agree. Now, Mo will come to ask the lord for help today. I beg him to come forward to solve the matter."

"Call me for help? Hahaha!" Li Li laughed in a silence and said, "This is Meng Qi's family affairs, and others are inconvenient to interfere. Besides, Gongjin should know that Ma Teng is my father-in-law. Speaking of which, Meng Qi is still my elder brother-in-law. I really can't come forward with such things. I can't use power to suppress others, right?"

"Uh?" Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard the sound and said anxiously: "My lord is joking. This matter is really something you must do. No one can solve it. In fact, I know that the reason why Meng Qi came to me for help was to ask me to come forward, but he himself was embarrassed to speak, for fear that his lord would take the opportunity to make fun of him. In addition, as far as I know, Ma Teng's prefect has great principles and most people can't persuade him at all, but he only obeyed the lord. As long as the lord says something, this matter can be solved."

"Is that true?" Li Li pondered and nodded slightly as if helplessly: "Well, since it was Gongjin's request, I will do this."

While speaking, Li Li paused and said with a smile: "Actually, Meng Qi is also concerned and confused. Didn't you see Miss Qiying in her eyes? In fact, Meng Xin had already mentioned their marriage in her letter and entrusted it to me. So, even if Meng Qi didn't say it, I wouldn't stand by."

"Hey, so that's it!" Zhou Yu slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "I was wondering why Meng Qi followed the lord to fight with the army. After all, there was no attack mission of Longxiang Camp in the Western Expedition Army. Now I finally understand that Meng Qi came for Miss Qiying this time, so he stayed by the lord and left Longxiang Camp and followed the army alone to fight. From this point of view, Meng Qi really had a deep affection for Miss Qiying, but now he wants to get his wish and get the beauty back! Hahaha."

Li Li nodded and smiled, "The hero is sad to be a beauty. Meng Qi is a person with a kindness. He had a crush on Qiying three years ago, but was blocked by his father Ma Teng. He broke up the couple and broke up the two of them. In recent years, Meng Qi has been forced to marry two concubines, but he has never wanted to marry the main wife. In fact, he is obsessed with Zhang Qiying and always wants to marry her. After I learned about this, I called Meng Qi to my side, which was to promote their good things so that a pair of lovers would not care about each other; otherwise, over time, the two of them might become sick and depressed."

Although the last sentence was Li Li's guess, it was also inspired. In history, Ma Chao and Zhang Lu's youngest daughter fell in love with each other. Zhang Lu had already agreed to their marriage, but because Yang Song interfered and made slander, Zhang Lu repented again. Since then, a couple of lovers never had the chance to get together again; it is said that Zhang Qiying has not married for this life, and she loves, hates, and is depressed. Coincidentally, Ma Chao also died in her early 40s, and she also died in depression. However, Ma Chao's death was interpreted as a difficult ambition to be fulfilled, and the great revenge of the clan was delayed, and she became sick, resulting in her death young.

Time and space are rotating, and everything has changed now. Ma Teng and his son are all under Li Li's command. The wife, children, old and clan members have not been exterminated. Although they are no longer the power of princes, the family is reunited and happy. Li Li cannot be sure whether Ma Chao is depressed because of Zhang Qiying, but based on the principle of being prepared for any eventuality, since he encounters this kind of thing, he will definitely not sit idly by and watch this tragedy happen, and he will definitely try every means to fulfill the lovers.

Because, in the current chaotic situation, under the background of the society where men are superior to women, there are very few young lovers who love each other, love and righteousness like Ma Chao and Zhang Qiying. Even Li Li envied him. Although he had many wives and concubines, there were not many wives and concubines who had truly gone from getting to falling in love, and then getting married, and there were not even half of them in the thirteen wives and concubines. Most of the wives and concubines followed him with various reasons, not simply because of love; for example: seeking a sense of security and dependence, seeking a stable life, unexpectedly promoting husband and wife, as well as power and wealth, etc. However, he and his wives and concubines established unbreakable deep feelings after marriage, which was a typical case of getting married first and then falling in love.

"Yesterday Xiaozhi mentioned a person to me, thinking that he was extremely greedy and regarded wealth as his life, but this person was with the lord and served as the chief in charge of food, grass and supplies, which made Xiaozhi very worried." Zhou Yu said softly while tasting tea.

Li Li's expression changed slightly. After thinking for a while, he chuckled and said, "What Gongjin is talking about Liang Cao's involvement in Yang Song?"

"That's right." Zhou Yu nodded in response and smiled happily: "It seems that the lord has noticed it for a long time. So Xiaozhi and I don't have to worry. I must have made arrangements for this."

Li Li nodded slightly and said with thought: "Yang Song is extremely loving money and greedy. I know all of these. Originally, I planned to kill this person when I regained Hanzhong to eliminate future troubles and to use it to appease Zhang Lu, Yan Pu and others, killing two birds with one stone. However, the battle was so smooth, it is undeniable that Yang Song was the first to be the best, and the ability and means of this person for money and wealth were also amazing, and people had to look at him with admiration. If in a peaceful and prosperous era, this person would definitely be a corrupt official with deep scheming and vicious means, especially a deer to be a horse. If he turned black and white, he would never be able to use it.

However, in the troubled times, anyone with a skill can use it. As long as it is used properly, such scheming people can often stimulate huge potential, or even amazing actions, which is amazing. This time, I kept Yang Song by my side. Although I appointed him as a grain steward, it was actually a false position, not just a real person. After returning to Chang'an, I will send him to Dunhuang County to lead the business affairs with the Western Regions, so that he can deal with money every day. At that time, I will set a clear amount of trading income and expenditure for him.

At present, the monthly income of Dunhuang Quotation is 300,000 taels. Based on this, for every 10,000 taels of income per month, he will be rewarded with 100 taels. The more income, the more rewards he receives, and vice versa. At the same time, I will secretly ask Fan Yong to send someone to keep an eye on him. If he works in such a two-pronged approach, he must have made great achievements and may bring us unexpected gains. Of course, if he tries to sweep away the income from the Quotation, then there is only a dead end to wait for him. His parents and children are in Chang'an, where can he go!"

"Uh, lord is so smart!" Zhou Yu looked surprised and exclaimed: "This is really the most suitable position for Yang Song. He loves money like his life, is smart and decisive, but has a lot of wise minds, and is good at engaging in the Western Regions. It is really the most suitable to put such a person in the Western Regions to deal with merchants from the Western Regions. He can do his best to do his best!"

Li Li smiled indifferently and shook his head and said, "It's too early to say it now, so the results can be seen later. Let's put aside this matter for the time being. I wonder how our soldiers and Yizhou prisoners of war have been getting along with each other in the past few days?"

Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this: "We got along very well, almost assembled, and weaved together every day, and even daily exercises were put aside. These days, Yizhou prisoners of war had excellent food, two meals a day, one meat and one vegetable, and five people and one jar of wine every night. They were almost as good as the food and treatment of our generals. They simply left in a few days, otherwise I would be worried that they would not be willing to leave and would not want to return to Yizhou to reunite with their families."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu paused and said respectfully: "However, the Yizhou generals performed poorly. They were all detained alone, no one talked to them, and stayed in the cell all day, so anxious that they kept wandering around. Especially Zhao Wei, Wu Yi and Zhang Ren, who was captured alive by Han Sheng earlier, had a very strong temper. Fortunately, no one paid attention to them. No matter whether they were seeking death or cursing, the soldiers guarding the cell did not answer, and they were almost crazy."

"Well, okay, what you want is the effect." Li Li nodded in response and said with a smile: "From tonight, you and I will act separately, hosting a banquet every half day to entertain a Yizhou general, so that they can feel at home, as if they have walked from hell to the sky. Zhao Wei, Wu Yi and Zhang Ren are personally hosting a banquet and have a good chat with them, and it is best to turn enemies into friends. Giving roses to others, the fragrance of their hands is lingering, and people's hearts are full of flesh. There has never been a person with a heart of heart in the world. After the entertainment, I will go out of the city to see them off and return to Yizhou. By then, we will go back to Chang'an."
