Chapter 379 Cooking Without Rice

In the lobby, Jiang Anyi looked through the strategies of combating bandits with interest. After being selected by Sima Hua, there were still dozens of copies of these strategies to him. Jiang Anyi smiled and said to Hua Siyuan: "It seems that it is still right to brainstorm, and there are many feasible methods."

There are quite a lot of ways. Some say that the 10,000 troops stationed in four parts and stationed in all directions, so that if there is any matter, it is easy to attack; some say that the investigation will be stepped up and the foreign population will be counted; some say that the responsibilities will be divided into counties and ordered each county to investigate the area under its jurisdiction. If something happens, the county magistrate and the county magistrate will be questioned, etc. Jiang Anyi nodded while looking.

Hua Siyuan walked to the side of the case, picked out a corner from the pile of official documents and lit the red note with cinnabar and said, "This is the strategy you recommended to me by Shi Mingyu. It is really insightful. This young man is doing things neatly, why would the adults just let him follow me?"

Shi Mingyu, the second son of Shi Qingjian, no one in the prefecture yamen knew that he was the son of Shi Qingjian, the aide of Jiang governor. Shi Mingyu was diligent and generous. In addition, everyone knew that he was He Sima's distant relative, so he did not dare to exclude him. These days, Shi Mingyu got along well with his colleagues.

Jiang Anyi opened the strategy and browsed it quickly. Hua Sima said next to him: "This strategy says to strengthen the management of rural areas, with the village as the corpses and the village chief as the corpses. He urged villagers to farm fields, patrol and maintain security, prevent thieves and thefts, and inquire about information; set up a township official in ten villages, and train in free time to protect the place; the village official is in charge of the county, and the village official is under the jurisdiction of the county, and where there is a bandit problem, or if the information is not reported, the village official is dealt with. According to this strategy, I, Sima, will be much easier."

"This method is good." Jiang Anyi didn't want to read it anymore, so he pushed all the strategies to Hua Siyuan and said, "You will do the specifics. Based on these, draw up a charter to report to me."

Jiang Anyi was wondering whether this method was Shi Qingjian or Shi Mingyu's idea. If it was Shi Mingyu's idea, this person was also a talent and could be of great use.

Hua Sima said: "The strategy was written by Shi Mingyu. He still has to think about the specific regulations. I can take him to Sima's mansion."

Jiang Anyi agreed, saying: "The method is good, but we must strictly prevent the public from being disturbed. The training of the recruitment can be reduced to serving. The village chief and the township county must pay the corresponding salary. We cannot just send people to do things without paying money. We must also be careful of the village chief and the township chief taking the opportunity to extort. These must be considered in the constitution."

Hua Siyuan frowned and said, "The county is so poor that it is so poor that there is no money to give the village and township officials? Why don't you allocate money to the government office?"

Jiang Anyi had a great headache. He didn't know that oil and salt were expensive if he was not in charge of the family. In the past two months since he was the governor of Huazhou, his money had been spent like flowing water. The 50,000 taels of taxes he had paid Guo Huaili had already spent almost the same amount. If there was no silver to be paid, I'm afraid even the salary of the government officials would not be able to be paid. It is hard for a good wife to cook without rice. What should I do if I don't have money?

"You think of the rules first, I'll think of the money." Jiang Anyi said to the minor official standing next to him: "Go and invite Yan Yi to join the army."

When he heard the governor ask him how much money the yamen was, Yan Shenjun's original round face was lengthened and complained to the world: "Sir, when you came, there were only twenty-eight cereals left in the tent, and there were 10,000 stones of grain and rice left by Yang Dashen. You have also seen those grain and rice, and only 60% of them can be used. You received 50,000 taels of tax silver, so General Mei spent it on his troops..."

Yan Yi talked endlessly, and a string of numbers popped out of his mouth. Jiang Anyi was dizzy and had to interrupt: "Yan Shenjun, just tell me how much money and food there are."

"There are still 6,734 taels and 96 cents in the tent, and there are 2,476 stones left in the grain." Yan Yi had already calculated clearly that everyone's salary was about to be released by the end of the month.

What is the use of this little money and food? Jiang Anyi was as big as a bucket and asked: "Can the yamen have access to the project, and can the counties have money to provide assistance?"

"The court exempted Huazhou from this year's taxes. The commercial taxes of each county will not be paid at the end of the year as usual. The far-reaching water cannot quench the near thirst." As a member of the Sihu, Yan Yi was also worried. "There has been more trade during this period, and the corresponding taxes are also available, but they are fragmented and there are not much money."

Jiang Anyi thought of the prosperity of the East City and the West City, and swallowed his saliva. If he could move the Shangcheng to Huiye Mansion, he would not have to worry about spending money. His memorial to open a border city in Huazhou had already been sent to the capital, but this matter would not be implemented after approval by the emperor.

The idea came from the Yashang in Xicheng. Jiang Anyi was preparing to move the goods between the Western Regions and Dazheng into the Yashang, so that the merchants could complete the transaction at the Yashang, so that the business tax would be left in Huazhou. Both the Western Regions and Dazheng had heroes who did no business in their own territory. They may not be afraid in their respective territories, but the risks increased sharply in unfamiliar environments. The biggest advantage of Jiang Anyi's approach is that it avoids the risks of their journey and saves time. The time for a trip to travel may be able to travel several times through the Yashang in Huazhou. In this way, although the income is less each time, the more times the earnings will be more.

Sighing, Jiang Anyi knew that he was anxious and would wait for the capital to agree on everything before he could talk about it.

On the eighth day of June, Jiang Anyi's four memorials were praised into the Secretary-General of the Political Affairs Hall. The Secretary-General Kong Sheng was promoted to the right prime minister, and his vacancy was topped by the Secretary-General Qi Guowei, and the position of Qi Guowei was taken over by the Shaoqing Li Haogu of Taichang Temple.

The Secretary-General is responsible for the memorials of the world. The Secretary-General is responsible for registering such matters. After registering and dispatching them, he can only hand them over to the Secretary-General for the registration and signature. Qi Guowei is Wei Yishen's disciple. Although he was the right supervisor in the Secretary-General, he was fighting for the first place in everything, suppressing the left supervisor Kong Sheng. Now Kong Sheng has been promoted to the right prime minister, and Wei has retired. For Qi Guowei, life is not as good as before.

After resting his motivation, Qi Guowei was not a good minister, and the affairs of the secretary-in-chief were mostly on Li Haogu. Li Haogu was just over 40 years old and was in his prime. The right-level secretary and the left-level secretary were all from the third-rank official, so he naturally wanted to go further. Qi Zuojian was not a director, taking advantage of his wishes, and he gradually controlled all the big and small things in the secretary-in-chief.

The Secretary-General presented him with more than 100 memorials after being compiled and registered today, including twenty-seven states and 1,939 counties in the world. When there were many memorials, there were more than 300 copies, and there were more than ten pieces of paper. Li Haogu would carefully review the memorials of the governor of the prefectures in front of him, and as for the memorials written by the county behind him, he only glanced at them and gave up.

Jiang Anyi's four memorials were arranged on the first page. Li Haogu smiled and said, "This governor Jiang is interesting. When writing memorials, it is actually a lot. You go and take his memorials, and I want to take a look."

"Memorial on Requesting Army to Garage and Defend Borders", "Memorial on Reopening a Susan Youth Orphanage", "Memorial on Requesting the Establishment of a Border City in Huazhou", "Memorial on Requesting the Leader of the Barbarians", "Memorial on Requesting the Leader of the Barbarians", and four memorials were written, which took Li Haogu half an hour.

Seeing the Secretary-General Liu Fengzhen standing respectfully beside him, Li Haogu felt a little satisfied and smiled and said, "Feng Zhen, this governor Jiang is worthy of being the top scholar. The four memorials are written concisely and directly reach the key points. No need for six departments, I will give them to the Zuo Xiang directly."

This is the power of the secretary-general. The memorials are not urgent to be submitted to the departments. After each department points out the disposal opinions, it will be submitted to the Ministry of Menxia Province. After reporting to the Prime Minister, it will be submitted to the Emperor. The Emperor will submit them to the Ministry of Secretariat or file them or order the emperor. However, if the memorials of the Ministry of Justice are important, they can be reported to the Prime Minister or the Emperor directly without going through the movement between the Ministry of the Ministry. Today, Li Haogu thought of reporting to the Left Prime Minister Chen Chengji directly.

Liu Fengzhen smiled flatteringly and said, "Mr. Li is really polite to foreign officials. It is a blessing for all officials in the world to have you in the secretary."

Li Haogu stood up proudly and smiled and said, "Feng Zhen, take these memorials and accompany me to Zuocheng's Mansion."

Liu Fengzhen bent down deeply, watched Li Haogu's official boots walk out the door, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His careful flattery for more than half a year was finally rewarded.

The left prime minister's mansion is full of red and green dancing, his steps are fast and his words are constantly spoken. When Li Haogu's purple color appears in the prime minister's mansion, the red and green are all falling in love. Li Haogu knows that the officialdom must not be arrogant, and it is possible that any official of the seventh and eighth rank secretly can ruin the future of the official. His face is like spring breeze and he is full of smiles. Even if the eighth and nineth rank green come forward to say hello, he nods with a smile.

As the left prime minister, Chen Chengji was very busy. He came back from Zichen Palace and had to rest until Xu hour. Every day when he returned to his residence, he felt soreness in his back. Several maids massaged him and beat him to relieve his fatigue. This made him very Wei Xiang. Wei Xiang was a unique prince. He was still energetic when he was in his sixties. He was only fifty-three years old this year. If this continues, he may not be able to support him for five years.

Seeing the officials of the Ministry of Works, Chen Chengji stood up and twisted his waist and relaxed his body. Li Haogu stepped into the door and smiled and said, "Chen Xiang works hard every day, but you should pay attention to your health. If you are tired and sick, the government affairs of the court will be stopped. The cousin of the official sent some overseas blood bird's nests a few days ago. I will send someone to the prime minister in the evening."

Chen Chengji smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I am afraid of asking for gifts when I have nothing to do. I dare not take your blood bird's nest. If I eat it, I might want me to vomit blood."

Li Haogu smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Chen Xiang was joking. Even if the officials were brave enough, they would not dare to make private contributions in front of Chen Xiang. Who would not know that Chen Xiang was honest and self-disciplined? How many bird's nests are just a little bit of the intention of the officials."

Chen Chengji waved his hand, asked Li Haogu to sit down, and asked, "Mr. Li, what memorial is there in a hurry to send it?"

Liu Fengzhen quickly stepped forward a few steps and respectfully presented the memorial. Chen Chengji took it and saw that it was all from Jiang Anyi, Huazhou. He smiled and said, "What problems did our Zhuangyuan Jiang have caused to the court again? I have to trouble Li Youjian to deliver it in person." As he said that, he sat down in a chair and opened the memorial to take a closer look.

After reading the four memorials for a quarter of an hour, Chen Chengji put the memorial on the table and curled his beard for a moment. A few days ago, the emperor mentioned to him that Jiang Anyi, Huazhou was robbed and killed by the thieves from the Yuantian Sect. He thought Jiang Anyi was reporting this matter, but he did not expect that there was no word in the memorial.

Among these four memorials, "Memorial on Re-opening of the Orphanage for Saints and Young Children" and "Memorial on Requesting to Learn from the Director of the Barbarians" can be approved, while "Memorial on Requesting the Army to Ground and Defend the Border" and "Memorial on Requesting the Establishment of the Western Regions Border Market in Huazhou" require the emperor to be approved, and it is better to let the emperor decide in the Zichen Hall tomorrow.
