Song Jiao brushed her hair from her temples, pretending to be indifferent, and said, "Isn't your father's order okay?"
Li Ye shook his head: "He won't make such an order, he has long since had nothing to worry about, so why would he care how my job in Pinglu is doing?"
Song Jiao kept her mouth shut, she glared at Li Ye, turned around and walked into the Taoist temple.
Li Ye was slightly startled, when Song Jiao turned around, he seemed to hear the other party muttering: idiot.
Li Ye didn't think any more, turned around and left Huabuzhu Mountain.
Back in Qizhou City, it was just when the sun was setting in the west, and the last touch of golden light sprinkled on the top of the city. Li Ye walked into the city gate, and the fine armor of Prince An's Mansion on duty saluted Li Ye in unison: "I have seen Your Highness!"
Li Ye nodded without saying anything, and went straight to the Governor's Mansion.
Inside and outside the Political Affairs Hall of the Governor's Mansion, many people gathered, all of them were in official robes, most of them were low-ranking officials in green and green robes. Li Zhen did not take the chief seat of the Political Hall, he reserved it for Li Ye. With the help of several clerks, Li Zhen is registering the officials who lined up.
Registration is not easy. Li Zhen has to ask a lot of questions, which is related to the other party's position. At the same time, he also needs to judge the other party's good and evil, which requires many people to corroborate.
When Li Ye came outside the political affairs hall, Shangguan Qingcheng was personally leading a team to guard here, so as not to cause any trouble. When he saw Li Ye approaching suddenly, Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him, his face full of joy: "Your Highness is back. It's really fast!"
"I told you I'm coming back for dinner." Li Ye said truthfully.
Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes were suddenly filled with the brilliance of stars.
Li Ye patted her pocket, shook his head and walked into the Moon Gate. Shangguan Qingcheng touched the place where Li Ye had photographed Douhou, his fair face was full of bewilderment, and for some reason, he blushed and lowered his head.
When Li Ye walked into the Political Affairs Hall, Li Zhen and the others quickly got up and saluted: "I have seen the Lian Envoy."
Qizhou officials inside and outside saw that Li Ye was the new Jiedu envoy. Many people were surprised. After all, Li Ye looked too young. Hearing the rumors, his expression relaxed.
After all, there are too many legends about this young man who has not been able to practice for twenty years, but suddenly rises like a wise man. Even if they are far away in Qizhou, they are all familiar with it.
Everyone bowed and saluted one after another: "I have seen Lianshi!"
"Exemption." Li Ye waved his hand, came to the main seat but did not sit down, looked around the crowd, and said casually: "Everyone is the pillar of Qizhou, in charge of Qizhou's military and political affairs, and has worked tirelessly for many years, day and night, They are all due to the country, and I admire them from the bottom of my heart."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands in salute: "Thank you all here."
"Where and where, it's what a humble person should do!"
"The envoy Lian has been waiting too hard for me. It's my duty, so I dare not say credit!"
"Emissary Lian has both civil and military skills, wisdom and courage. It is really a blessing for us to have an envoy Lian to sit in Pinglu!"
"Exactly, I have long been looking forward to Lianshi's appointment, so that I can serve Lianshi!"
Everyone clapped their hands together, some expressed flattery, some expressed shame, and some flattered. When they lowered their heads, they looked at each other, and they both sensed each other's thoughts.
Li Ye came to Qizhou suddenly and killed Wu Huainan as soon as he entered the city. It is impossible for Qizhou officials not to be frightened. , Not many people are clean, some are anxious, and some have ulterior motives.
At this time, after hearing Li Ye's words and seeing Li Ye's behavior, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this new Jiedushi is not such a ruthless devil king, and he can still be considerate of his subordinates.
Some people thought: Li Ye came to Qizhou to kill Wu Huainan to establish his prestige, but to govern Pinglu, he had to rely on local forces, and he was afraid of local forces, so he didn't dare to be too vicious. With this in mind, he no longer feels so in awe of Li Ye. Li Ye signaled everyone to be quiet, and continued: "I have seen a lot of things along the way, the people of Qizhou are not living well, bullying the weak and oppressing the people can be seen everywhere, everyone is from Qizhou Zhushi is in charge of Qizhou's military and political affairs, and these matters cannot be avoided. I follow His Majesty's order to go out of the town of Pinglu. The corpse is a person with a vegetarian diet, I will definitely investigate it carefully!"
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard the words, and they thought to themselves that Li Ye still wants to settle the score after Qiuhou!
Those who were disrespectful to Li Ye just now reacted and immediately became uneasy.
Li Ye looked at Li Zhen: "How is the judge's business going?"
Li Ye was appointed as the Pinglu Jiedu envoy, so he naturally brought his own team over. Li Zhen is now the Pinglu Jiedu envoy judge, with a high position and authority.
"The registration is all done." Li Zhen clapped his hands.
Li Ye nodded and said to the crowd: "It's late, I came in a hurry, so I won't entertain you today, wait two days, and then have a drink with you."
Everyone has different ideas, but they all agree quickly.
After the officials retreated, Li Zhen cupped his hands with a smile and said: "Emissary Lian showed both kindness and power when he first saw these officials, and subdued the hearts of the people. He is really clever, and I admire him from a humble position!"
Li Ye took a look at him and sat down: "The combination of kindness and prestige depends not on words, but on doing things."
Signaling Li Zhen to sit down, Li Ye continued: "I won't do the screening of officials in Qizhou, you can bring someone to do it. There are only two principles. First, Qizhou was the Wu family's power before, so People from the Wu family must be strictly investigated, and those who commit illegal acts will be severely punished."
"There is only one method for the screening, promotion, and relegation of Qizhou officials. Suppress a group, neutralize a group, and win over a group. The Wu family's forces will definitely suppress them. Those who have no major faults and are not at fault, neutralize them first, and don't move." They, those suppressed by the Wu family, and those who are responsible for their duties as officials, should be promoted and reused."
Li Zhen nodded: "The humble job understands."
Li Ye said: "Secondly, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. The people of Qizhou will not be able to make a living. I am afraid that there are not many good officials. At this time, lower the standard. For example, those officials who have been oppressed by the Wu family and have no ambitions want to corrupt the law. , I’m afraid there is no chance, these people, no matter they are virtuous or not, should be promoted and reused first. Otherwise, too many people will be punished, and there will be no replacements, and the government garrison will not be able to function smoothly.”
Li Ye stood up: "All in all, the primary purpose of rectifying Qizhou's officialdom is to control Qizhou in our hands and ensure the smooth flow of my government orders. At this time, don't pick and choose too much. After the situation stabilizes, then Select the best and weed out the weak, and improve the quality of officials."
Li Zhen listened to Li Ye's words, his face was full of admiration, and he said sincerely: "The Lianshi is wise."
Li Ye was noncommittal, and said to Li Zhen, "Let's go eat first."
Jiedushi has military and political power over the feudal towns, and can freely appoint shogunate officials to Jiedushi, but he has no absolute right to appoint and dismiss state officials. However, Li Ye has Li Yan's backing, and he can "behead first and then play".
...
It was night, on the Jishui outside Qizhou City, there were dimly lit lights, and there were few ships docked at the pier with lights, except for the brothel and painting boats, there was no light.
In a cargo ship belonging to the Changhe Gang, the candles were brightly lit, and there was no one else on board, only Li Ye and Liu Zhiyan who were sitting opposite the case.
The cabin of this cargo ship is where Li Ye stayed along the way. There is no accumulation of goods, and it has also undergone some modifications. The layout style is not bad, and it is not much different from ordinary rooms.
The masters of the Wu family and Huabuzhu Mountain have all been wiped out by Li Ye, and the officialdom and rivers and lakes in Qizhou have already fallen into Li Ye's hands, but it will take some time to rectify, and Li Ye will not do the specific things by himself. Just hand it over to Li Zhen and Song Jiao. He is going to lead the elite staff and rush directly to Qingzhou to take up the post.
Tomorrow will leave, Li Ye still wants to give Qingzhou a surprise. Jishui is not connected to Qingzhou, so the Changhe Gang and Liu Zhiyan will not follow, and it is now a farewell banquet.
There are a lot of food and wine on the food table, and the two of them have already drank many cups.
Liu Zhiyan had two blushes on her cheeks, and her delicate and pure face looked like a lotus flower. She lowered her head slightly, raised her eyelids to look at Li Ye, and said softly: "The rivers and lakes in Qizhou have been ruled by His Highness." Weifu, the Changhe Gang will pass Jishui, and there will be no problems in the future, rest assured, Your Highness, the women will definitely take care of the Changhe Gang."
As she said that, she bowed up, leaned in front of Li Ye, and poured wine for Li Ye. The two of them were getting close, and Li Ye didn't smell the alcohol, but the fragrance of virgin came to her, which made people feel refreshed.
He couldn't help but glanced at Liu Zhiyanxin's long neck, where it was white, tender and smooth, like suet warm jade, exuding a seductive aura.
Li Ye withdrew his gaze slightly, but his gaze fell on Liu Zhiyan's chest, probably because of his leaning body, the two plump outlines were particularly sharp, and as Liu Zhiyan poured the wine, he even shook his clothes slightly, and the nearest In front of the eyes, it is particularly breathtaking.
What Liu Zhiyan wore today was not a fancy dress, but a blue shirt and a yellow skirt. There were no gorgeous floral decorations, but the fabric was very elegant, which matched her Xiaojiabiyu's delicate temperament.
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org
Sensing Li Ye's gaze, Liu Zhiyan glanced down, and she didn't know what she saw. She blushed up to her ears, her delicate ears were a little transparent, and said in a flustered voice, "Your Highness?"
They were too close, and their faces were less than four inches apart. When she spoke, her red lips moved slightly, and a little heat was sprayed on Li Ye's face, which was as fragrant as orchids.
Li Ye saw her eyelashes, which were very long, and he even heard her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Li Ye followed Liu Zhiyan's words and said, "I was relieved when the Changhe Gang was entrusted to you."
Liu Zhiyan sat back, lowered her head awkwardly, and put her hands on her lap. A few strands of black hair fell down on her red cheeks, and she stretched out her hands to close them. Her white fingers, like onion roots, slid across the pretty red face. The contrast was sharp and beautiful. People can't help but think, if it's my own finger, I don't know how the sense of touch will be.
She hummed, and her voice was like a mosquito: "It's all thanks to His Highness that the Changhe Gang can reach the scale it is today."
Liu Zhiyan has a graceful and quiet temperament. If it weren't for the changes in the Changhe Gang, she wouldn't have become a big boss. Even if she became a big boss, she would speak very reservedly and would not show explicit flattery.
Li Ye drank the wine in the glass, looked at Liu Zhiyan who was sitting there like a kitten, and couldn't help smiling: "Why don't you drink anymore?"
Only then did Liu Zhiyan notice her gaffe, she let out a soft cry, picked up the jug in a panic, poured herself a glass, and then raised it to Li Ye: "Your Highness, Minnen!"
As she said that, she drank it all in one gulp, her movements were a little hasty, she accidentally choked, she couldn't help covering her mouth and coughing twice, she peeked at Li Ye in embarrassment, she became more and more at a loss, and her face became even redder.
Li Ye said cheerfully: "You didn't pour it for me, but you drank it first?"
Liu Zhiyan groaned, seeing Li Ye looking at her again, quickly picked up the jug, bent over to pour wine for Li Ye, moved her mouth for a while, wanted to speak but got stuck, the vague syllables could only set off She was at a loss.
Li Ye held Liu Zhiyan's hand.
Liu Zhiyan's delicate body trembled, her movements froze, and she looked up at Li Ye in surprise and confusion.
"Come here." Li Ye said.
"Your Highness..." Liu Zhiyan was weak.
Li Ye hugged her over, causing her to scream, and fell into Li Ye's arms in a panic.
The hand was soft, yet elastic, and very hot. Li Ye didn't want the little rabbit to be frightened again, so he buried his head and kissed it.
The cargo ship was actually not small and could hold a lot of cargo. Tonight, only Li Ye and Liu Zhiyan were on board, but it was shaking in the middle of the night. The intermittent sound like a nightingale, like the stars in the night sky, decorated this beautiful night.
