Hearing this, Li Yang finally realized that the so-called "subordinate officials" refer to the officials of his fiefdom.
After understanding, Li Yang said: "Please go to the hall!"
"No!" Uncle Wu responded, turned around and went to summon...
…………
Not long after, Li Yang saw the chief of his fiefdom, the sheriff of Dongyang County, in the hall.
"My lower official, Dongyang County Sheriff Wang Youxian, pay my respects to Lord Zhongcheng!"
Wang Youxian cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
Li Yang said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you are welcome, you are the governor of Dongyang, and you can be regarded as the official of the parents of the truth."
Wang Youxian looked shocked: "Don't dare, I only listen to Master Zhongcheng's orders."
In the Qin Dynasty, the marquis' fiefdom only collected the tax of the fiefdom, and did not have the jurisdiction over the fiefdom. Li Yang was very curious, why the officials of his own fiefdom would come to ask for an interview, so he asked, "I don't know why Mr. Wang came to Xianyang this time. Why?"
Wang Youxian quickly replied: "Now Dongyang County is the fiefdom of Mr. Zhongcheng. This time, the official is deliberately handing over the county's household registration and tax items to Mr. Zhongcheng."
"The truth is that I was too busy, and I forgot to send someone to Dongyang to hand over the matter. I troubled Mr. Wang to make such a hard trip." Inside the big box is obviously the household registration and tax account of Dongyang County.
"Lord Zhongcheng, you are being polite."
With Li Yang's approval, Wang Youxian was quite happy in his heart, and continued: "Master Zhongcheng works hard for the country, and the next year's tax revenue will be sent to the mansion by himself."
Li Yang nodded in satisfaction, he is indeed no one to send.
However, thinking that I have the dividends of Tianxiaju, I am not short of money right now, so I said: "I have received the favor of the Emperor, and granted Dongyang a place as a food city. In order to repay your majesty's kindness, I plan to give tax exemption to the people of Dongyang County. In three years, Lord Wang will still need to inform the local people on this matter."
Wang Youxian was taken aback for a moment, his eyes turned red immediately, and he bowed deeply: "Your Majesty... thank Lord Zhongcheng for your kindness on behalf of the people of Dongyang!"
"Master Wang, you are...why are your eyes still red?" Li Yang was also taken aback and smiled.
Wang Youxian quickly wiped his ruddy eyes, and replied: "Your official... moved."
"Ah? Haha, it seems that my Lord Wang in Dongyang is also a good official with the people in his heart. In this way, the truth can be relieved." Li Yangneng could see that this Wang Youxian didn't look like acting. Otherwise he would be too powerful.
In fact, it is entirely possible to send a messenger to handle the backup of household registration and tax items. The reason why Wang Youxian came in person was originally to ask Li Yang to reduce taxes for the people under his rule.
Because in recent years, the corvee has been too heavy. The young and strong under the rule are almost expropriated by the corvee, and the farmland is cultivated by the old and the weak. Therefore, the people of Dongyang County have reached the point where they cannot eat enough, let alone pay taxes. up.
Today, Dongyang County is already in chaos. For the sake of peace under the rule, Wang Youxian mustered up the courage and decided to go to Xianyang in person to plead for the people.
However, he never expected that Li Yang would voluntarily waive taxes for three years before he even had time to make the request.
For three years, a county's tax was exempted as long as it was said. This really surprised and delighted Wang Youxian, and at the same time, he was extremely moved.
During the day, he also read the notice of the new law.
The new decree not only abolished Lianzao, but also lightened corvee. The common people ran around to tell each other, and they all expressed their gratitude to Prime Minister Li Yang for his good governance.
Originally, he was still thinking that giving a benevolent government does not mean that he is a benevolent person.After all, in the six countries in the past, there were many countries with benevolent governments, but their people were not benevolent.
But now, Wang Youxian truly believes that Li Yang is a benevolent prime minister, not only governing with benevolence, but also benevolent when it comes to his own interests.
Thinking of this, Wang Youxian cupped his hands again and bowed deeply: "It is a blessing for the people of Dongyang to have Mr. Zhongcheng in Dongyang. It is a blessing for the people of Daqin to have Mr. Zhongcheng in Daqin."
Li Yang laughed, feeling quite happy in his heart.
Although it was the first time they met, he had a good impression of Wang Youxian.
"My lord, I will hurry back to Dongyang immediately and tell the people the good news." Wang Youxian cupped his hands and was about to retreat.
Li Yang nodded, and when he was about to signal him to back down, he suddenly remembered something, so he stopped him: "By the way, there is one more truth, I want to ask you to help."
Wang Youxian hurriedly asked: "Your Excellency, but I have a mission, the next official will definitely go through fire and water!"
Li Yang smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, I just want you to help find someone for the truth."
"Looking for someone?" Wang Youxian was taken aback, and asked, "I don't know who my lord is looking for?"
Li Yang said: "This person should still be in Huaiyin County, Dongyang County, and his name is... Han Xin!"
Chapter 25 does not guarantee
"Han Xin?" Wang Youxian frowned slightly, he had never heard of this name in his memory.
Li Yang nodded: "Yes, you must find a way to find this person as much as possible."
Wang Youxian nodded and said: "My lord entrusted me, I will do my best. However, besides knowing that this person is still in Huaiyin, do you have any other information about this person?"
Li Yang thought for a while: "I don't know much about the other details of this person, but I know that he is from Huaiyin and lost his parents when he was very young. It is said that he doesn't do farming on weekdays. He lives by fishing for money, and is often given by an old woman who rinses silk cotton to make ends meet, and even many people hate him, in short, this person is very poor."
When Wang Youxian heard this, he was a little silly, and asked: "What kind of friendship does your lord have with this person?"
Li Yang shook his head: "I've never met, how can we talk about friendship."
At this moment, Wang Youxian really didn't understand, and said: "A handsome man of seven feet, but he never farms, holds books as treasures every day, and relies on an old woman who washes silk to help him, such a worthless person Lazy man, my lord has no friendship with him, why go looking for him?"
Li Yang smiled, no wonder Wang Youxian looked down on Han Xin, this kind of slacker would be extremely despised even after 2000 years, let alone in ancient times.
However, as a time traveler, Li Yang knew very well that this Han Xin was the most powerful figure in this era.
Han Xin is an outstanding military strategist in Chinese history. He is a representative of the "war-seeking" school of Chinese military thought.
When Chu and Han fought for hegemony, as the commander in chief, he led his troops out of Chencang, settled the Three Qins, captured Wei, broke the dynasty, destroyed Zhao, subdued Yan, and defeated Qi, until Gaixia wiped out the Chu army without a single defeat. No one in the world would dare to match him fight.
He is familiar with the art of war, and he said that using troops is "the more the better", such as building plank roads, secretly crossing Chencang, setting up doubts near Jin, Xiayang smuggling, Muying crossing the army, camping with the back of the water, pulling out flags and changing flags, passing the call to decide, sinking the sand and breaking the water, half crossing As for attacking, besieged from all sides, ambush from all sides, etc., the way of using soldiers is called a trick, and no one can match it.
It can be said that as a military strategist, Han Xin is the most outstanding general after Sun Wu and Bai Qi.
It's just that Han Xin was really down and out in his early years, often relying on others to make ends meet, and many people hated him.Moreover, in front of many onlookers, he got under the crotch of a butcher, which is called "the humiliation under the crotch" in history books.
Such a down-and-out idler, most people really wouldn't believe that he would be a military genius.
In fact, Han Xin's road to becoming a god was not smooth, and it can even be said that he failed to achieve his ambitions.
At the beginning, Han Xin defected to Xiang Liang with his sword, and stayed in the army, but was unknown.Later, after Xiang Liang was defeated and died, he belonged to Xiang Yu again, and Xiang Yu made him a doctor.Han Xin offered advice to Xiang Yu many times, but Xiang Yu refused to accept it.
Han Xin, who could not be reused, left Chu and returned to Han, and joined Liu Bang's camp, but he only became a small official in charge of the warehouse, and he was still unknown.
Later, Han Xin met Xia Houying and was appreciated by Xia Houying, so he spoke to Liu Bang.However, Liu Bang still only granted Han Xin an official position in charge of food and salary, and did not find him unique.It was not until Han Xin met Xiao He that Xiao He knew about military affairs. When Han Xin left Han, he chased after Han Xin at night, and then Xiao He spoke to Liu Bang again. Han Xin began to be reused, and finally he lived like a cheating life...
According to historical records, the uprising of Wu Sheng and Wu Guang took place in the autumn of 209 BC, that is, next year, and Xiang Liang responded to the uprising, so he sent troops to Peking University and passed through Huaiyin. At that time, Han Xin joined the army.
Calculating the time, if his arrival will not change the course of history, Han Xin will join Xiang Liang's Department next year. How could Li Yang watch such a talent join the rebel army like this?
