2273. Luan Hongmao
Because the guards had already come to report, Luan Hongmao waited for Zhao Dongting and others in the yard.
He thought that what he came was really just an imperial envoy.
As his identity as a transferee on Lizhou West Road, he doesn't have to go out to greet him.
After all, most of the imperial envoys sent to the local area by the imperial court were not particularly high. And just like those who had never said hello before, the rank would not be much higher.
If it were the kind of imperial envoy of extremely high-grade grades, there would be big noises everywhere, and it would be protected by the masters of Wudingtang.
Just such an imperial envoy was able to welcome Luan Hongmao in person.
He sat in the yard drinking tea.
I was thinking that the imperial court suddenly sent an imperial envoy to come down, and what was wrong. The moment I saw Zhao Dongting, I was stunned.
He never thought that what he came here would be the current emperor.
He used to work in Changsha and knew that Zhao Dongting was not calm and that the emperor liked to go around.
But he really didn't know that Zhao Dongting had come to Lizhou West Road!
There was no sound in the court!
The tea cup held in my hand was so hungry that it didn't fall to the ground.
Luan Hongmao quickly put the teacup on the round table and walked to Zhao Dongting a few steps. "I am Luan Hongmao, the transfer envoy of Lizhou West Road, please pay a visit to the emperor! The emperor has arrived and is in a misfortune to welcome him. I beg the emperor to sue him!"
The guard who led Zhao Dongting and others into the hotel was also confused, and then hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"It's okay."
Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "I went on a tour in a low manner, and I didn't reveal my identity, nor did I think I would disturb you. Let's just keep my body flat."
Luan Hongmao was stunned for a moment, then stood up and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, you are here on Lizhou West Road..."
He was a little confused.
The emperor said just now that he had no intention of disturbing himself, so why did he suddenly run into the government office to find him?
He had a bad feeling, but he couldn't tell anything when he looked at Zhao Dongting's expression.
After years of hardening, Zhao Dongting is even older than the old fox. It is no exaggeration to say that he does not show his emotions.
Faced with Luan Hongmao's problem, he just said lightly: "Passing by this Mianzhou, I just remember you here, so I come in and see you."
Luan Hongmao looked very moved, "I thank the emperor for his kindness! What kind of virtue is that I can be worthy of the emperor's concern!"
Then he shouted to the room: "The emperor is here, come out quickly to welcome him! He serves tea!"
A commotion quickly broke out in the room.
Zhao Dongting ignored these things and asked again: "How have you felt on Lizhou West Road in recent years?"
"Poor, poor..."
Luan Hongmao hesitated for a second or two, and seemed to be heartbroken, "I dare not hide it from the emperor. I did not think that Lizhou West Road would be so barren before the future."
He smiled bitterly, "If I had known that Lizhou West Road was like this, maybe... I might not have come."
"Is that true?"
Zhao Dongting asked lightly.
Luan Hongmao looked a little embarrassed, "I am indeed heartfelt. Looking back now, I still should have stayed in Changsha to learn more from the emperor. You and the central cabinet. This will not make me feel helpless for a long time after coming to Lizhou West Road. I dare not hide it from the emperor. When I first came, I looked at the vast loess on Lizhou West Road, and I felt a little relieved."
Zhao Dongting smiled a little, "What about now?"
Luan Hongmao said: "Now... I can only barely find some ways to go out."
At this time, the people in the house also came out, all of whom were Luan Hongmao's family.
Luan Hongmao's grade is not low, and some of them have seen Zhao Dongting.
Seeing that Zhao Dongting was really here, he knelt down.
Zhao Dongting's eyes were condensed.
He remembered that when Luan Hongmao was in Changsha, there were only two wives, but now it seems that there are five.
In just a few years, three women were added, and they were all young and beautiful.
This can illustrate some problems.
But he didn't reveal it, just said, "Let's just flat!"
Then he said to Luan Hongmao: "Then talk about it, what tricks have you figured out?"
Luan Hongmao replied: "The land on Lizhou West Road is barren, and the land is far less fertile than those in those places. I believe that if you want to make the lives of the people under the rule of law better, you must start from the harmony of people. Since it is not suitable for farming, you should vigorously develop business."
Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "Is this why you have repeatedly written to the court in recent years to ask the court to support the reduction of transaction taxes within Lizhou West Road?"
Luan Hongmao nodded and said, "That's right."
Then he showed a helpless look on his face, "Only in this way can we attract those businessmen to come here."
Zhao Dongting didn't think there was anything wrong with his words.
Without industry development, places like Lizhou West Road should indeed rely more on business.
From this point of view, Luan Hongmao is a qualified transshipment officer.
At least ordinary people will never have such opinions as him.
He asked again: "Then what achievements have you made in the past few years?"
Luan Hongmao said: "I dare not say that it is very effective, but there are a wide range of shops on the streets of Mianzhou City. I dare to say that a small part of them were brought in because of me."
