Chapter 352 Abnormal Prosperity

The three of them entered the city easily. Su You was inevitably a little worried about Weizhou City not paying attention to identity checks.

The city is a different scene. It's actually quite lively. There are many vendors along the streets, and there are many leather goods shops. In addition, there are medicine shops, tea shops, porcelain shops, silk cloth shops and other major businesses.

There was a luxuriously decorated building. Su You sent Zhang Qi to find out that it was a banknote bank, a place where merchants exchanged salt.

The Yamen is also in a dilapidated state. There is a school palace and a Confucian Temple near the Yamen, but the paper on the windows is torn, there are no students, and there are no teachings.

On the other hand, an alley next to the academy was quite lively, with Qiang Han sergeants, merchants, and porters coming and going, and many women wearing heavy makeup at the door to solicit business.

Shi Wei looked curiously into the alley, and Su You blocked her eyes: "Why are you so curious? Let's go, let's go shopping elsewhere first."

The city's repair industry is also relatively developed, with horse gear, bows and arrows, and weapons repairs on a certain scale.

The business in the inns, hotels, and hostels is also quite good, and most of them are rough travelers with knives.

After a round trip, Su You finally understood that this was a border town that became abnormally prosperous due to the military, and was a paradise for adventurers.

After going around a lot, Shi Wei and Zhang Qi were arranged in the post house, and then Su You returned to the state office to go through the handover procedures.

The magistrate of Weizhou stated that he used to be the transfer envoy of Shaanxi Road. The imperial court sent Xue Xiang to replace him a few years ago. Now that he has handed over his duties to Weizhou, it is time to change places.

Shu Gu was a standard poet and literati. Weizhou was close to Fengxiang and fell within the cultural radiation range of Da Su. He was very compatible with Da Su in terms of poetry and singing, so he also favored Xiao Su.

Seeing that Su You took up the post without any guard of honor, he couldn't help but marveled: "Tanhualang is really a strange person. He doesn't wear official robes, doesn't line up with guards of honor, and doesn't know what's going on. What's the matter with this conflict?"

Su You bowed and said: "Su You was young and curious. He liked to inquire about the local customs and customs along the way. If he brought a ceremonial guard with him, he would not know the truth. For example, the story of Ming Gong's divine bell that solved the case. He came here in a grand manner, but he couldn't hear it at all.

."

When Shu Gu was still the county magistrate, a theft case occurred under his administration.

After Shu Gu found out several suspects, he told them that there was a divine bell in a certain ancestral hall, which was so supernatural that the person who stole it would just reach out and touch the inner wall of the bell, and his hands would turn black.

So the suspects were brought to the ancestral hall and took turns touching the clock. The hands of the last few suspects were all black, but one was clean.

Statement Gu pointed to the man with clean hands and said: "You are the thief!"

It turns out that Zhu Gu painted the inside of the bronze bell with ink. The real criminal did not dare to touch the inner wall of the bronze bell due to psychological pressure, so he only made a show of it, so his hands were clean and the case was solved.

This incident is a statement of the pride of Gu's life. Hearing this, he couldn't help but twitch his beard and laugh: "It's a pity that this matter shouldn't be publicized. It taught the thieves in the world to be good, and they won't be able to use it again in the future..."

After chatting for a while, the two began to hand over matters.

Shu Gu said: "Weizhou is miserable. The surrounding farmers have been through wars. I have no financial ability, so I have to ask everywhere, forcing Zhong Dazhi to find some clothing and food. I have compensated him randomly a few times. From now on, I will have Lao Mingrun."

Already."

Su You was speechless. Improving people's livelihood was the official business of Zhizhou. However, the old man went to the military to ask for food. It seemed that literary talent was better than governance.

It's no wonder that when the new governor changes, Lord Xiaoyin wants to clear out his inventory. I'm afraid he is complaining in his heart that the court is becoming more unreliable with each change.

Since stating the ancient capital has set the tone of Weizhou's bitterness, forget about the minister's money balance or anything like that.

Magistrates in war zones are generally hard-pressed, and it is almost normal for them to overuse ministerial funds. There are many people who have been dismissed from office because of this.

The famous public case in history, Teng Zijing was praised in Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower". Some history buffs went to find out the reason why he was demoted. Teng Zijing transferred money to the minister, and then sent people to check the accounts. Teng Zijing even burned the accounts.

After that, he was demoted to Baling County.

From this we can draw the conclusion that Teng Zijing is a big corrupt criminal and Fan Zhongyan is harboring a big corrupt criminal. Neither of them are good people.

Again, I didn’t read widely, didn’t speculate carefully, and didn’t consider the actual situation in history.

The battle ahead was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of Xixia troops pressed on the border. The border ministers tried their best to survive this wave, but afterwards they had to be questioned about the whereabouts of the minister's money.

It was certainly appropriate to deal with Shuai Chen, but Su You thought it was a bit excessive to use these methods to deal with Shuai Chen's subordinates.

Due to Zhong Shiheng's merits, after his death, Xiao Yinjun expressed his father's merits to the court, but Pang Ji, the Privy Councilor, was not allowed to do so.

Afterwards, Lord Xiaoyin persisted in his defense, and the imperial court recognized his father's merits and ordered Zhong Xie to serve in the nearest county.

Su You felt that by comprehensively considering these events and the political and military ecology at the time, and interpreting them as newly powerful bosses purging the wings of political opponents under the pretext of combating corruption, this is the most likely truth.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Su You is too lazy to reach out to the court. A great man has long said that self-reliance will lead to adequate food and clothing.

To guard against Xixia, use three points of strength. To guard against your own people, I am afraid you will have to work up to seven points.

It was late at night, Su You lit the gas lamp, spread out the paper, sharpened the ink, and wrote the first word.

People's hearts.

Then write the second word, economy.

The third one is industry.

The fourth one has been thinking about growing a family for a long time.

The fifth is diplomacy.

The sixth one is information.

The seventh one is the military's turn.

Seven things, arranged in order of importance from top to bottom.

There was a voice on the beams of the room. Su You raised his head and saw that it was Muke.

Su You smiled and said: "Weier, come down. Why don't you take the main entrance?"

Shi Wei poked her head out from the beam: "I'm afraid of hurting your reputation. Why don't you go back to the post house?"

"I'm sorry. I found a quiet place to think about things. It's so late before I know it." Su You put his hand on his forehead: "You are so high-flying, and if someone finds out, won't it hurt your reputation even more?"

Shi Wei was very confident: "No one will find out."

Su You took out a box of biscuits from his bag: "Come down quickly and have something to eat. I don't know where the team from Sitong Company is. They are in a hurry to start work... By the way, when you go to appease the farmers, you can recruit people by the way.

Well, the next thing in Weizhou will require a lot of manpower."

Shi Wei jumped down from the beam: "Brother Xiaoyou, the farmers here are really pitiful."

Su You handed the biscuit to Shi Wei: "Who is not pitiful, I am not pitiful? I was hoping to get out of singles... but I was kicked by the big boss in the DPRK and ended up in this damn place."

Shi Wei was a little confused: "Take off... your clothes..."

Su You patiently coaxed Shi Wei: "Weier, look, um, we are all grown up now. Well... I originally thought about going to Shi Mansion to propose marriage after the year..."

Shi Wei blushed: "Anyway, we are still together now, what's the difference..."

The difference is huge! Su You shook his head: "Forget it, it's too late to say that now, but the old lady is willing to let you out this time, which is really beyond my expectation."

Shi Wei smiled and said: "My grandma used to ride horses and cross swords, and the heroes among the women who traveled across the country and across the country were all very careful because of my father's affairs. Grandma said that now we have it, we have it... we don't have to be so scrupulous.

Already..."

Su You chuckled: "You have my sweet son-in-law, right?"

Shi Wei blushed even more and argued hurriedly: "No, grandma said she got this hozen like you!"

Su You laughed heartily: "It doesn't matter whether he is a sweet son-in-law or a hozen, he is still Weier's subordinate!"

When Shi Wei saw Su You's frivolous words, she immediately stood up and wanted to leave. When Su You said "ouch", she quickly asked: "Brother Xiaoyou, what's wrong with you?"

Su You pretended to be in pain: "My waist and legs feel a little uncomfortable after riding horses for days... Ouch, ouch..."

Shi Wei quickly helped Su You lie down on the bed with her back facing up: "I'll give you a massage and you should be fine."

This massage made Su You beautiful: "Wow, it feels so comfortable, Wei'er, you are amazing!"

Shi Wei smiled slightly: "Don't move around, be careful of losing your breath."

Su You put his head on his folded arms: "Weier, do you still remember when we were children?"

Weier said while massaging: "It depends on how young you are. I remember the first time you took me to play in the back hill, catching beetles and catching birds with tiles."

Su You smiled and said: "The first time we met was on the Tiaodeng Bridge."
