Not long after, Liu Yu arrived at the government office of Ji County. This was his first time entering the city, and it had refreshed his worldview.
Liu Yu remembered that Youzhou was a desolate place when he was the provincial governor.
Especially the closer they were to the north, the more uncivilized the people were. They dealt with the horse-riding tribe and were occasionally robbed.
They needed to pay tribute to the Wuhuan, Xianbei, Southern Xiongnu, and other foreign soldiers. This situation changed after Gongsun Zan guarded Youzhou.
But now, it was completely different.
There were countless merchant carriages going in and out of Ji County in Youzhou. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Smoke rose from the chimneys. The people everywhere had their own duties and looked very busy.
Everyone was very busy, and this situation had already begun outside Ji County.
On the way, Liu Yu had been holding back her words. When they were about to reach the government office, she couldn't help but ask Dian Wei,""How should we deal with the craftsmen, women, and children here?”
Dian Wei scratched his head and said,""Children go to school, women and children do weaving and farming, and craftsmen go to workshops to earn money.”
"We can use the money we get paid daily to buy food. Those who can't do work can sign an IOU. After receiving the food, we can go to the fields to reclaim it. This year's spring ploughing, the army and the people will open up wasteland.”
Although Dian Wei had never studied this matter, he had heard the advisors talk about it every day and all kinds of exclamations. He understood a little.
The main reason was that he ate his fill every day.
It was much better than killing people and starving them three times while they were hiding.
His appetite was originally large, and the greatest kindness of his lord, Zhao Feng, was to allow him to eat and drink as he pleased.
However, after he finished speaking, Liu Yu fell silent.
"In other words, Zhao Feng really managed Youzhou more stably than I did?”
He muttered to himself.
A trace of unwillingness to accept defeat slowly surged up in his heart.
How could a mere merchant family have such talent in internal affairs? How could they control the hearts of the people to such an extent? Moreover, he only used ordinary advisors who had not yet become famous.
He could also come up with strategies and implement benevolent policies?!
Especially when Thief Dong was wreaking havoc in Luoyang, he was able to stabilize the situation without wavering.
Could such a person really be a genius of the world and have planned for this chaos in the Great Han Dynasty for a long time?
To be honest, Liu Yu didn't really believe it.
Soon, they arrived at the government office. There were two stone lions placed at the door of the government office, which was not common in the Great Han Dynasty.
With this display, it looked very mighty.
They climbed up the stairs. The signboard on the door was very noble. It was inlaid with golden silk threads. Most of the signboard was noble black. When they reached the front yard, it was extremely wide. It was paved with bluestone. There were thirteen or fourteen people dressed as Confucian scholars hurriedly walking out of the door.
He seemed to be in a hurry.
"The first batch of merchants has returned from the frontier. We have 1,700 jin of gold and countless ancient coins. Hurry up and count them. The sales of our crafts have increased again.”
Beyond the Great Wall?
Liu Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows.
In other words, Zhao Feng had opened up a trade route for the Hu beyond the Great Wall?!
This was amazing. No wonder he was from the Changshan Kingdom in Jizhou. What he wanted was Youzhou, which was close to the border. This person had some skills.
He was earning money from those foreign races.
"Milord, we bought 1,300 horses from the Outsiders, but they are too thin and need about a month to fatten up.”
"Yes, you guys keep an eye on the horse farm. If you need to breed, immediately start preparing. The best time is this spring. After the autumn harvest, it's almost time for the lord to use horses.”
"Here!"
Along the way, a few words had already given Liu Yu some wonderful ideas. She felt a little helpless…
The things that Zhao Feng was involved in were too big.
Was the Zhao family's business really that powerful?!
……
Not long after, Liu Yu arrived outside the main hall.
Just as she stood at the door, she heard a curse from inside.
"Who told you to attack the Wuhuan?!”
"I said, don't kill them all! It wasn't time to kill them all! Suppress them, enslave them, and make them run to the caravans outside! I'll kill them after I'm fattened!"
"You don't even know how to cut leeks?"
Liu Yu stopped in her tracks with a dumbfounded expression.
Beside him, Qi Zhou and Zhang Yi were stunned for a moment. Then, an unconcealable excitement burst out from their eyes.!
Kill the Outsiders?
The Xianbei and Wuhuan on the ancient Tea-Horse Road?!
How could he be killed like this?
As expected of the Youzhou Mu who only used two months to suppress the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju. His army was so powerful?!
"Milord, Duke Liu is here to see you."
Dian Wei cupped his fists and bowed. He stepped in and smiled after a quick glance. It was Zhang Liao who was being scolded.
Zhang Liao glanced at him and lowered his head resentfully.
Damn it, I was just about to be scolded when this bastard saw me.
"Hmm, Liu Zongzheng, you've come at the right time. I have a favor to ask of you.”
Zhao Feng beckoned Liu Yu over as if they were old friends.
Liu Yu was stunned.
I…
What did he mean?
Did I come here at your beck and call?!
"When?"
"After the winter disaster, the common people have been affected. I have some anti-freezing medicine, some medicine sachets, and a book on typhoid fever. Take it and gather the nobles in Youzhou and Jizhou to ask them to come and help the victims.”
Zhao Feng smiled calmly and said it clearly in a few words.
However, Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat.
What the f * ck?
Isn't this asking me to beg for alms?
There are so many aristocrats, how can I call them?!
"Zong Zheng wouldn't refuse, would he? This is for the sake of the common people, for the sake of the Great Han Empire. If you refuse, I'll be too sad. I've heard from Duke Cai that you, Liu Zong Zheng, are the only person in the world who truly cares about the common people regardless of anything.”
After Zhao Feng finished speaking, Liu Yu almost vomited blood.
Even so, you can't use me as a weapon! 'Damn it, my reputation, my connections, my status as a relative of the Liu family, all of that has been accumulated over many years…'
What the f * ck!
Are you kidnapping me?
