"My lord, I wonder what you are going to use this house for?"
Yu Qian is a straightforward minister. He never hides anything and asks questions directly.
"I am not asking for a house for myself, but for Xu Yang."
"In this Bingzhou Rebellion, Xu Yang worked hard and achieved great results, but he was not rewarded. Just now I discovered that his residence was extremely simple and there was no one to take care of him. I felt quite ashamed."
"Look for a house, and find some maids and servants to take care of my daily life."
"Li Ru, please send someone to bring Xu Shu's mother and family members."
Yuan Ke said.
"promise!"
When Yu Qian and Li Ru heard this, they immediately responded to the matter without hesitation.
"You are all my confidants, how can I treat you badly? I eat meat and drink soup, and you will also have meat to eat and soup to drink."
Yuan Ke said loudly.
He understands that as a master, you cannot treat your subordinates badly. Even if your own people are loyal to you, how can you talk about bringing peace to the world and ordering the four directions?
"The Lord is wise!"
When Yu Qian and Li Ru heard this, they felt as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they were particularly moved.
Not for others, just for this trust.
"alright."
"Go on errands."
Yuan Ke also returned to the inner garden and came to Diao Chan's boudoir.
It had been a while since I had been with Xiao Diao Chan, and I missed her body a little.
"I've met the Marquis!"
As soon as they arrived in front of the door, six maids immediately saluted Yuan Ke.
"Okay, no courtesy."
"Madam, have you rested?"
he asks.
"Replying to the Marquis, Madam has just fallen asleep."
one of the maids replied.
"good!"
Yuan Ke then entered the inner room. Diao Chan was afraid of the dark. Whenever he fell asleep, there would always be lights and candles in the inner room to drive away the darkness and relieve the loneliness in his heart.
He carefully undressed, then slipped into Diao Chan's bed and held her soft body in his arms. It felt so ecstatic.
"Who? Daring-"
Diao Chan had just fallen asleep when she suddenly found someone getting into her bed and hugging her in her arms. She woke up immediately and just after she screamed, she realized by the light that the person was Yuan Ke.
After that, he immediately said something coquettishly.
"Husband, you are so good, you come to tease me so late at night."
"My baby Diao Chan, my husband will not only tease you, but also eat you."
Yuan Ke knocked down Diao Chan, and after that, he accomplished his good deeds and went to heaven together.
When the maids outside heard the movement in the room, their faces turned red with embarrassment.
I cried out in my heart: "Master Hou is so domineering."
At this time, Wang Lan on the other side found that Yuan Ke did not come to her residence, so she sent someone to inquire. Only then did she find out that Yuan Ke had rested at Diao Chan's place.
Although she was a little jealous, she did not get angry. After all, Yuan Ke's majesty was still there.
"Ma'am, are we still waiting?"
The maid Cuizhu asked.
"No, just rest."
.......
There was no words for the whole night. The next day, Yuan Ke was still having a sweet dream in the gentle land, but he was woken up by the maid's words.
"Master Marquis, Mr. Xu came outside the hospital to plead guilty."
"What? Xu Yang is here? This jealous old man has troubled me again."
When Yuan Ke heard this, he lowered his head and looked at Diao Chan who was tightly hugged by him. He saw that Diao Chan was as delicate as a flower and her ears were red.
I don't know why.
"Cicada, what time is it?"
he asks.
"Husband, it's been two seconds."
Diao Chan looked like she was letting the king take what she wanted, letting Yuan Ke's big hands mess with her.
After that, he told Yuan Ke the time truthfully.
"It's time to do something."
"Come and change my husband's clothes."
Yuan Ke did not continue to indulge.
Now that he has arrived in Luoyang for the first time, everything is waiting for him, and he cannot relax even a little bit.
"yes!"
Yuan Ke changed his clothes and came to the door of the inner garden. He saw Xu Yang kneeling there with a cane on his back.
Yu Qian, Cheng Yaojin and others were trying to persuade him.
"Mr. Xu, get up quickly, kneeling for a long time will hurt your body."
"Don't stop me. I'm guilty. I'm a bastard. I'm sorry for the Lord's kindness."
Xu Yang blamed himself in every possible way.
It turned out that after he sobered up last night, he found several young and beautiful maids waiting on him. He immediately asked why. When he learned that Yuan Ke came to see him and took off his whip and changed his clothes, he felt extremely guilty and came to plead guilty.
"Lord, someone is guilty, please punish me."
Xu Yang continued to blame himself.
When Yuan Ke saw this, he strode out and he stepped forward to help him up.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, please come."
"The ground is cold!"
he said.
"Lord, please let me kneel down. I'm such a bastard. I'm sorry for your kindness to me. Please punish me."
Xu Yang said.
"Mr. Xu, what, do you want me to kneel down and talk to you?"
Yuan Ke said pretending to be unhappy.
"No, no, Lord, be angry, I, I get up."
Xu Yang stood up immediately.
"Lord, these days, I have been in a bad mood, passive and slow in my work, and I have let you down."
He continued to admit his mistake.
"Okay, that's all in the past."
"Actually, the reason why I did not arrange a position for you but gave you a reward is because I have other arrangements for you."
"Now, I won't hide it from you. I appoint you as [Sili Xiaowei], and you will be responsible for supervising Luoyang and the officials, generals and people in the city around Luoyang."
"At the same time, I will reward you with a hundred acres of land, a good house, five maids, and ten thousand taels of money."
"how?"
Yuan Ke said.
Yu Qian, Cheng Yaojin and others did not expect that Yuan Ke would now reuse Xu Yang, regardless of anything else. This position is "the commander of the Sili school and the inspector". The rank is not high, but a fifth-grade official. But it has extremely heavy power. It not only has the status of an envoy appointed by the emperor, but also has the power of supervision, arrest, and punishment. It is only responsible for the emperor. At the same time, it also has its own prison.
This position is equivalent to the commander of the Jinyi Guards in the Ming Dynasty.
Now that Yuan Ke has appointed Xu Yang to this position, it is clear that Xu Yang will only be responsible for Yuan Ke's actions in the future. What kind of trust is this.
"Lord, Lord, this position is too important. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
Xu Yang declined.
"With me supporting you, what are you afraid of? Just let it go and do whatever it takes."
Yuan Ke said loudly.
"yes!"
After that, everyone came to the study room in Wude Hall. Yuan Ke looked at the three people, who were also his confidants, and did not hide it from them. He couldn't help but said softly: "Yu Qian, Xu Yang, you two are good at Regarding internal affairs, I have two things to ask you to do."
"No matter what the Lord says, we will do our best to complete it."
The two preached.
"The current plan is nothing more than two things, one is to recruit talents, and the other is to develop agriculture and mulberry trees."
"Xu Yang will be responsible for recruiting talents. I will set up a recruitment platform in Luoyang City. Regardless of their origin, as long as they are capable, they can join the imperial court as officials."
"As for the development of mulberry farming, now is the farming season. We must not neglect farming. Now I have many new species that need to be promoted vigorously. You Qian will be responsible for this matter."
"As for military affairs, I will not use troops externally for the time being. For the present, we should recuperate and recuperate."
Yuan Ke said.
"promise!"
Yu Qian and Xu Yang immediately responded to the matter.
"At the same time, we must also restore commerce in Luoyang City and adopt various methods to support the business environment for ordinary people and businessmen."
"In addition, we will check the number of households, allocate ownerless land to common people who have no land, strictly check landowners' land taxes, and never allow them to evade taxes."
Although Yuan Ke did not understand internal affairs, he had watched many historical dramas, studied many history books, and copied many policy outlines. As for the details, he would leave them to his talented people to implement them.
As a ruler, the most important ability is to know and employ people.
Nowadays, his work mainly focuses on restoring people's livelihood and developing agriculture and mulberry. As for the military, he has other arrangements.
Talent is still the main factor restricting his rapid development. He also hopes that this recruiting center can recruit many talents for him to meet his urgent needs.
After everything was decided, Yu Qian and Xu Yang took office.
They received the greatest support from Yuan Ke.
[Luohou Mansion] The guard commander is Cheng Yaojin.
Three thousand soldiers guarded the prince's mansion.
After preliminarily handling the matters at hand, Yuan Ke came to the inner garden, called Diao Chan up, and the two of them went for a swim in the lake.
While boating on the lake, Yuan Ke couldn't help but lament the extravagance of the ancient emperors. The inner lake in the palace was dug so big.
【Peony Garden】
It was also the imperial garden of the former Han Dynasty.
However, it was later abandoned by the rebels.
Now, after just a simple cleaning, the scenery is already pleasant and beautiful.
"Husband, why are you interested in accompanying me to the lake today?"
Diao Chan is a girl after all, and she also longs for romance.
Historically, she had a bad life. At the age of twenty-eight, she was sent to Dong Zhuo by Wang Yun and was taken over by him. Later, she became Lu Bu's concubine. Although she was favored, she never had any romance.
Now, her destiny has changed. Not only is Yuan Ke similar in age to her, he is also handsome, capable, and in a high position. At the same time, he also treats her with love and affection, which she cherishes very much.
Although he is usually busy, he always gives her little surprises to make her happy.
