Liang Xiao had some doubts in his eyes.
"Female hero? I've heard about the Red Blood Sword. Isn't he a male hero?"
Mr. Zhan was full of gratitude and said: "We used to think she was a male hero. It wasn't until she saved our grandfather and grandson that we discovered that she was a masked heroine with beautiful eyes. She saved She didn’t say anything after us, it was her heroes who settled us down!”
Liang Xiao immediately asked Mr. Zhan to rest and read the information about Yanzhou with a solemn expression.
The disaster of moving the capital, the disaster of war that started seventeen years ago, continues to this day. This is a period of time, not just an event.
Even today, the Beihu people are still looting everywhere, bringing serious disasters to the people on the border.
What the Zhou court could do was to move the people on the border to a safe place.
However, there are still many people who are forced to make a living and go out of the city to engage in production activities in the north, such as cutting firewood, mowing grass, and taking risks to grow some food.
This is an unavoidable fluke unless these people live a prosperous life forever.
Through Mr. Zhan's description, Liang Xiao vaguely understood.
Higashiye Hongji had some reservations about the information he gave him, and concealed information that was detrimental to the Higashino clan.
The public order in Yanzhou is probably maintained by the help of knights in this area, but it is somewhat embarrassing for a prefect to ask knights to help maintain public order.
However, Higashikata Higashikata was already very cooperative, and he could forgive this small thought.
The county magistrate Qin Baili, as Liang Xiao's deputy, aroused the suspicion of the original team of the Yanzhou Prefecture as soon as he took office.
"He is only twenty-five years old, how can he serve as a high official like a county magistrate..."
"What's the matter? This Marquis of Lanling is only eighteen years old, and he is already a prefect. Let's play!"
Many of these original members were members of big families and resigned directly.
There was no document from the court arranging their whereabouts.
This means that they can only go home and continue fighting for their father.
But the downfall of the Tuoba clan made these big families frightened for a while.
Duanmujie, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, has not dared to act blatantly recently.
The county magistrate of Yanzhou also has a seal ribbon.
Qin Baili looked at the seal ribbon handed over by Liang Xiao and said with a wry smile: "Marquis Lanling, is it really good to leave those former staff hanging like this?"
Liang Xiao said: "There is no one available in the imperial court, so I gave them an opportunity to take advantage of it. Now that I have brought so many talents, how can I leave them with nothing to eat? I read the information provided by Xuanwei, and it turns out that these people are not worthy of their qualifications."
Qin Baili reminded: "But they have experience..."
Liang Xiao said without thinking: "But they don't have the common people in their hearts."
Qin Baili and everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Marquis Lanling really hit the nail on the head!"
Liang Xiao said earnestly: "Yanzhou is full of waste and is waiting to be revitalized. You can't expect this group of people to provide you with experience. The Dongye clan can provide these lists truthfully, which is considered to be the most benevolent thing. Everyone, follow me and do it boldly. Everything will be done for the sake of the court and the people." Interests come first, and if there is a conflict between the interests of the court and the people, it is our duty to work hard to find a balance."
Everyone nodded, feeling heavy.
The reason why they agreed to come to Yanzhou with Liang Xiao was of course because they wanted to change Yanzhou.
The icing on the cake is far inferior to providing help when it is timely.
"Shen Mian is given strong medicine. After the personnel are confirmed and the situation in Yanzhou is understood, I will issue a decree that evil and evil will not be allowed to cause trouble in Yanzhou. Violators will be severely punished."
Higashino returned to his room and told his wife his worries.
The couple was in a melancholy mood.
The attitude of Dongye Luoyue and his elder brother towards Liang Xiao made him very uneasy.
And he was a little worried about another thing.
Is it really okay if the Dongye family gets too close to Liang Xiao?
"Your Majesty is only a woman, and there are no other men in the royal family. Prime Minister Zhuge, Marquis Dingguo and other senior ministers are already old. Once they leave... can Marquis Lanling really assist the emperor and control these great families?"
Dongye Hongji frowned.
Of course he knew that the biggest reason why the Higashino clan was expelled from the capital was because he did not agree with making peace with Beihu.
As for the dispute over power and money, we are all from aristocratic families, and as long as we can get along in principle, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.
The Dongye family does not want a group of Beihu people to flood into their hometown in Yanzhou.
However, Liang Xiao and those big aristocratic families were in the same situation, and the consequences of being on the wrong team were unbearable for the Higashino family.
"It seems we can only ask my father-in-law for advice." My wife reminded me.
Dongye Hongji was silent for a moment, then went to the deep courtyard alone and asked the two guards at the door.
"How are you doing, old man?"
"Thanks to you, I am in good spirits!" the guard replied.
Dongye Hongji then walked to the door and knocked the door gently.
"Dad, I want to ask you something..."
An old echo came from inside.
"Come in. If it's not a big deal, you can go to Kneel Ancestor Temple."
Dongye Hongji felt a chill in his heart, pushed open the door, walked in, and looked at the screen.
On the opposite side of the screen, a rickety figure with disheveled hair was reading a book.
This is his father, the old man of the Higashino clan, Higashino Canghai.
The Higashino family faced crises several times, but it was Higashino who turned the tide and kept the foundation of the Higashino family intact.
"Dad, my son has resigned as the governor of Yanzhou, and the new one is..."
The figure on the other side of the screen just nodded slightly after listening to Higashino Hiroki's explanation.
"He's a motivated young man, just like you before, second child."
Dongye Hongji looked ashamed and said: "My child also thought about the Dongye family, and he stuck to the bottom line and did not compromise with the Beihu people..."
"Then what are you worried about? The disaster of pond fish?" Dongye Canghai said.
Dongye Hongji then smiled and said: "There is no better son than a father! I am just worried. A hundred years from now, the Prime Minister and the others, the situation in the court will change drastically. Our Dongye family has already offended the Duanmu family. If we offend several other aristocratic families..."
"It's just a waste of time!"
Dongye Canghai's sudden and serious rebuke made Dongye Hongji confused.
"My child sincerely understands the lesson!"
"You received the court documents. It is the Emperor and the Prime Minister's Office who want you to fully assist them. Are you taking the initiative to flatter him?"
Dong Ye Hongji suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief: "Hai'er has this intention! As long as outsiders know that Hao'er is fulfilling his duties, your orders will not be violated. We, the Dongye clan, can rest assured and wait and see, and we may not necessarily take sides!"
"That's not necessarily the case!" Dongye Canghai's words confused Dongye Hongji again.
"Why did dad say this?"
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. Maybe you will take the initiative to get closer to this person in the future."
Dongye Hongji was stunned and said with a smile: "My child admits that he is not one ten thousandth as good as his father, but he still knows how to assess the situation."
Dongye Canghai was silent for a moment and then said: "You can't do anything wrong if you abide by the law. Keep an eye on Luoyue and don't let her cause trouble. Your elder brother is too indulgent to her."
After Dongye Hongji agreed, he was about to say goodbye, but the old man's murmur came from behind him.
"When I have time, my father will meet him in person."
Dongye Hongji is very happy!
For more than ten years, his father has never left the house.
As long as he travels, he will gain something.
What can be gained this time?
At night in the prefect's mansion, Liang Xiao also received an uninvited guest.
The apple of Duanmu Festival's eye, the eldest lady of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Yan.
