Along the way, he met five or six people who came to report news. Li Shanlue asked about it and calmed down.
At most, the aboriginal people reject outsiders, and the outsiders want to unite... Li Shan also considered this aspect, but he didn't expect that Ma Zhou could not deal with it decisively.
Li Shan did not go directly to the scene of the incident. He turned to Beishi on the way. If he wanted to know the inside story, he had to find Ma Zhou, and Ma Zhou was basically in Beishi.
Today, this northern city is famous throughout Hedong Road, and some people even compare it with the east and west cities of Chang'an.
Of course, there is no comparison in terms of scale, but because the East and West Turks have now cut off the trade route between the Western Regions and Chang'an, and the Western Turks are in civil strife and have frequent wars, which has cut off the trade routes, many goods from the Western Regions have instead taken a long way to go through Yanmen Pass, resulting in today's The North Market not only provided goods for export, but also was filled with Hu merchants from afar.
Riding horses was not allowed in the city, so Li Shan got off his horse and walked into the market. He thought that after the long-term war, other industries such as farming might stagnate or even regress in the short term, but business would definitely take advantage of the situation. This was determined by the market itself.
"Mr. Lang."
There were shouts from a distance, and Li Shan smiled and waved, "How about it?"
The person who came was He Lou Xingshu, who had served as Li Shan's personal guard for just over a month and was able to become an official. He went to Chang'an some time ago and awarded You Xiaowei Si Ge. Although he was only a minor official of the eighth rank, he made Dai County The powerful people saw hope.
"Mr. Lang, everything is as usual. Mr. Ma has made all arrangements." Although He Lou Xingshu was an official, he was now in charge of Ma Yin. He pointed to various places and introduced: "The west entrance of Beishi City is the entrance of grain. The grain transferred from various places is there. It went through three steps of weighing and determining the quality, and finally Mr. Ma issued the horse guide."
"I'm really sorry for Brother Bin Wang." Li Shan felt a little guilty.
Just as he was talking, Ma Zhou walked over from there... When Li Shan saw it, he felt even more sad. Although he had traveled around Shandong in the past two years, in general, Ma Zhou had a good life and gained weight. Already...and now lean and lean.
Thinking about it, Li Shanshou almost left such a huge problem to Ma Zhou at Yanmen Pass... He thought that it was just a piece of cake for the famous prime minister during the Zhenguan period to handle these government affairs, and Ma Zhou was in the military There is nothing special about it.
"Oh, isn't this the Duke of Guantao County?" Ma Zhou said angrily, and made a special salute, "The late student pays homage to the Ming Dynasty."
"There are so many people..." Li Shan coughed twice, "Brother Bin Wang, this is enough."
Ma Zhou sneered and said, "If something hadn't happened, I don't know when Mingfu would be able to return!"
"It's just a small matter." Li Shan said calmly: "This time, the main thing is to thank Brother Bin Wang for his help."
Ma Zhou was still sarcastic, "I don't dare to thank the Ming Dynasty."
Li Shan was a little surprised. Although Ma Zhou had always been sarcastic and harsh like Ling Jing, he was not someone who would hold on to someone. Why did he look so angry today?
He took Ma Zhou to find a place to sit down, and Li Shan stayed with him very carefully. It took a while for Ma Zhou to vent his anger.
During this period, Ma Zhou was very tired. On the one hand, he had to be responsible for the transactions in the North City. In some details, he used the personal guards he brought, but in other places, he used local children of the powerful clan, so Ma Zhou did not dare to To the effect, water pumping in Beishi is a major source of income for Li Shan, and it is also the most direct and stable fundamentals.
On the other hand, Ma Zhou is responsible for the handover of horse guides with Chai Shao, taking stock of grain and grass, distributing horse guides, checking for leaks and filling vacancies... If Li Shan hadn't trained a group of people who were proficient in arithmetic, he would have been really busy. .
In addition, Ma Zhou has to manage the accounts of Yuhuchun Winery. The caravans of Daixian's powerful clans and the caravans of prominent families in Hedong. Some of them buy wine directly in cash, some on credit, and some with grain deductions, plus the good horses shipped back from the previous time. Quota quantity... Fortunately, Li Shan made a special form at Yanmen Pass, and Ma Zhou only had to fill it up according to the gourd's drawings.
Listening to Ma Zhou's slow narration, Li Shan looked at it carefully. Although these things were troublesome, they should not be the cause of Ma Zhou's anger. There should be other things.
"Qi Laosan's side has never stopped. As soon as the red bricks leave the factory, they are sent to various places to build new houses." Ma Zhou spread a map on the table and sighed, "You can't choose the site at will. You need to In order to cooperate with the land granting, the people who will invest in the future must be dispersed as much as possible and live in separate places to prevent them from gathering and causing trouble."
Li Shan blinked, wasn't this what we had discussed before?
"What's missing?"
Ma Zhou sighed again, "Although the modern county is still dilapidated, it is springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and it looks like it is rising..."
Li Shan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which family is causing trouble?"
Ma Zhou didn't understand the word, but he knew what Li Shan was asking... They had discussed the possible greed of the powerful people in Dai County two months ago.
Whoever seeks death, beat him!
The next moment, Li Shan reacted immediately. He gave Ma Zhou the power to manage Beishi and Ma Yin. However, the collision with the powerful clan in Dai County... Ma Zhou did not have this qualification, and Li Shan did not even authorize him. possible.
I had complained before that Ma Zhou was not decisive enough in handling the situation. In fact, Ma Zhou had no way to deal with it and did not have the power... In Li Shan's view, this was his future reputation, but in the eyes of others, he was just a down-and-out scribe.
Ma Zhou must have suffered a lot during this period of time... Li Shan couldn't help but feel a little guilty when he thought of this, and said with a dry smile: "Brother Bin Wang, for this kind of thing, just ask someone to take a letter to Yanmen Pass..."
"That's easy to say!" Ma Zhou glared, "Who can suppress them except you?"
"not to mention……"
Ma Zhou's cheeks moved, "In your words, no one is a good bird!"
"Tell me."
"Take this matter as an example. It's Sanli Village...you've been there twice." Ma Zhou explained in detail: "Forty of the first batch of people who moved from Yunzhou were arranged in Sanli Village. Before that, Eight new homes have been built.”
Li Shan narrowed his eyes and suddenly interrupted, "Is it the Li family?"
"Yes, the clan leader has a son who is your personal guard. I remember that Wang Junhao valued him very much and he was very good at shooting." Ma Zhou nodded, "The Li family robbed the eight new houses and granted the investors a total of more than 200 acres of land. Among them, the mature fields were all taken away by the Li family."
"After the incident was reported, I went there three times, but my persuasion was to no avail."
"After that, the people of Yunzhou gathered hundreds of people together, and the two sides fought twice. Fortunately, no one was killed so far. However, several houses of the Li family were robbed, including the ancestral home of the Li family, and countless others. .”
"It wasn't until last night that the partial army sent by King Huaiyang arrived in Dai County. Du Xiao went to borrow 300 cavalry to suppress the situation... waiting for you to deal with it."
After hearing this, Li Shan immediately said: "In short, the Li family broke the rules first, and the people of Yunzhou are not easy to bully, right?"
"Yeah." Ma Zhou paused and said in a low voice: "Now the people who come to vote are determined. They must live in groups, otherwise they would rather leave."
Li Shan sneered and said: "Since ancient times, if there is a road in Huashan, anyone who enters my path will die in Dai County!"
Looking at Li Shan with a cold look in his eyes, Ma Zhou reminded: "If you use thunderbolt methods, no matter where you target, there may be instability in the future."
Li Shan said: "But if we only show mercy, the two sides will inevitably have disputes again in the future."
"Therefore, we must give both grace and power."
