"Sir, are you the one who came up with these decrees?" After the civil servants and generals dispersed, Ma Dai asked with deep doubts.
"It's not me, is it you?" Jiang Tuo glared and scolded: "In the past few days, I have worked hard for Liangzhou's affairs, working hard from dawn to dusk. I finally came up with these strategies, but you are still suspicious of me."
"Isn't it too chilling for me?"
Hearing this, Ma Dai looked guilty.
That's right. How can I doubt Mr. Jiang? Although these policies seem to be fair and peaceful and completely inconsistent with Mr. Jiang's character, they are still good policies and Mr. Jiang's hard work.
"I was wrong, sir. I will now supervise the implementation of officials at all levels."
"Okay." Jiang Tuo nodded with satisfaction. That's right. Liangzhou's affairs don't seem complicated and are easy to handle.
Jiang Tuo said seriously: "In a few days, I will lead my troops to Longxi County. The affairs here will be handed over to Chu Liang. He will be fully responsible. If there are matters you cannot decide, you can ask his opinion first."
Ma Dai was stunned and looked at Jiang Tuo hesitantly.
Things in Liangzhou have just gotten on the right track, and Mr. Jiang wants to be the boss. How can this be possible?
"Sir, after all, it was the Prime Minister who appointed you as the governor of Liangzhou. Wouldn't it be against the rules to leave at this time?"
"What's wrong with the rules? Isn't Longxi Liangzhou? The situation in Longxi is so bad, what can I do if I go and take a look?"
"Oh well."
After giving his political instructions, Jiang Tuo stretched and sighed. He had really solved a lot of problems today. It was rare to see officials as diligent as himself.
I heard that Liu Chan of the Shu Han Dynasty spent all day playing with a group of eunuchs in the harem, ignoring government affairs, and left all national affairs to the prime minister.
I hope he doesn’t look like a king!
When I have the opportunity to see Liu Chan in the future, I must secretly punch him to make him so incompetent!
Jiang Tuo thought to himself, then went to the back hall and immediately put on a smile.
"My good county magistrate!"
Jiang Tuo pushed away the memorial on the table, pulled out Chu Liang, who was overwhelmed by the memorial, and said with a smile: "You don't know, the officials looked shocked when they heard the decree today."
"They never thought that I was so smart and had so many good ideas!"
As experienced as Chu Liang, his hands almost trembled: "Sir, didn't I come up with these ideas?"
"Between you and me, why should we separate each other?" Jiang Tuo said with a smile: "We have been partners for so many years, don't you understand my temper? As long as I am good for you, I will never be without you."
Hearing this, Chu Liang sighed quietly.
I can't say that I know your master's temper thoroughly, and I can't say that I know the root and bottom of it.
Basically, when Jiang Tuo opens his mouth, he knows what to fart.
When I am useful to him, I smile like a flower, "My good county magistrate" on the left, "My good partner on the right", without your help, all the people in the world would suffer.
But if they disagree, their expressions will immediately change. Although they don't dare to shame themselves in person, they will secretly scold themselves for being an old coward.
Who knows what he has endured over the years.
But adults also have advantages. They are full of clever ideas, treat the people very favorably, and listen to what they say. They also take special care of his health and match him with a team of doctors.
"The affairs of Liangzhou will all be left to Mr. Chu. I hope that when I come back, Mr. Chu will have taken care of the military, people's livelihood, and government affairs properly."
"This is impossible!"
Chu Liang spread his hands and said that he couldn't do it.
"It's okay. Master Chu, just do your best. No matter what happens, I won't blame you."
"Then what are you going to do?"
Jiang Tuo narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "I am going to go to Longxi to personally manage the political affairs there."
"No! The matter in Liangzhou has not been settled yet, and we have to go to Longxi now. Besides, Liangzhou is the capital of the state, and Longxi is just a county. Do you want to lose the big for the small?"
"I feel relieved that Mr. Chu is here to take charge. Besides, it won't take much time to go to Longxi, and I'll be back soon."
Chu Liang still shook his head. He had just come here and had little prestige among the Shu army. Even some officials didn't know him yet. If Jiang Tuo leaves again, who else will listen to his orders?
I'm afraid no one takes him seriously, right?
Liangzhou's affairs will become a mess in an instant.
"I've thought about it all, don't worry, I will make you deputy governor tomorrow."
"Hmm? The big man still has this position?"
"No, but it will be available tomorrow."
Chu Liang's head was full of black lines. Your title was of no use. You are not the emperor, so he shook his head and refused: "Even if I accept the position of governor, not many people will take it seriously."
"Don't worry, I have the Prime Minister's sword seal and I will give it to you tomorrow."
Chu Liang still felt something was wrong, so he asked, "Sir, why do you have to go to Longxi County?"
Jiang Tuo shook his head and said: "In the land of Yongliang, Longxi is the richest. In the past, our Han Dynasty traded with the West. How much wealth was circulating on this Silk Road? It is a pity that the influence of wars in these years has caused Liangzhou to rapidly Decline means that the people will not be able to make a living.”
"I think that in the future, we still need to strengthen ties with foreign countries, trade, and cultural exchanges... Longxi County is the only way to go, so we must plan in advance."
Chu Liang could understand what Jiang Tuo meant.
After all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought many wars with the Huns in order to compete for this trade route, and finally firmly controlled the Silk Road. From then on, Eastern and Western countries began to communicate and trade, driving economic prosperity and development.
Chu Liang thought for a moment and asked, "Sir, do you want to do business?"
"That's right. Since the world began to be in turmoil, wealthy families in Liangzhou have risen one after another. Private trading of goods is not allowed. Those merchants have no way out and can only become poor people."
Jiang Tuo began to talk about the importance of commerce. He pointed out from a high position that the essence of commerce is circulation. It is necessary to curb the development of wealthy families, to make the people rich, and to let merchants trade goods...
"My lord, you don't have to speak in such detail. I understand."
Chu Liang thought about it for a long time, then agreed and said: "In that case, my lord, let's go to Longxi. However... the folk customs in Yongliang area are fierce. Even if you want to deal with those rich and powerful families, you must think twice before you act."
Jiang Tuo showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, I will reason with them, strengthen publicity and education, improve the overall quality of the wealthy families, encourage them to donate all their wealth, and lead the people to the road of prosperity."
Jiang Tuo didn't say it was okay, but Chu Liang became even more panicked when he mentioned it.
After Jiang Tuo arranged many things, he asked Ma Dai to assist Chu Liang in handling government affairs. The two cooperated with each other for a few days without any problems, which made Jiang Tuo even more relieved.
Ma Dai was also very satisfied. This Lord Chu was really a master of politics. His strategies were exactly the same as those of Governor Jiang. He was worthy of being Governor Jiang's deputy and his acting style was the same.
Jiang Tuo did not plan to bring many people with him to Longxi this time. He only brought Lu Qing, Geng Bin, and more than ten soldiers.
Looking at Geng Bin's huge body, Jiang Tuo felt full of security. If he fought with those wealthy families, Geng Bin would be able to carry one in one hand and catch them, right?
They quickly set off towards Longxi.
