Xu You spent five days and five nights in Qiantang, and then set out for Qing and Xu Erzhou for inspection.

His current status and every move are attracting attention from the world, and it is impossible for him to stay in Qiantang for too long.

Otherwise, it may cause a lot of unnecessary fear and suspicion.

Who would believe that a dignified Taiwei really gave up all state affairs just to coax his wife and went to Qiantang to spend a few days of purity?

When inspecting Qing Xu, he could no longer drive lightly. Xu You directly ordered two thousand new recruits from Fengying to serve as guards, took the navy's sea dragon boat and headed north along the river.

The vast team arrived in Xuzhou first. The governor of Xuzhou Shanzong welcomed him out of the prefecture to Pengcheng ten miles outside the prefecture. The governor, Sima, the officials of various Caos, the prefects of various counties, county magistrates, local famous families, famous scholars of the three religions, and the people who came from the river. There were thousands of people gathered on the bank of the river, all of whom were looking forward to seeing the style of Xu Taiwei.

Xuzhou can be regarded as one of Xu You's base camps.

Since he started his career in Qiantang, he has been serving as the governor of Xuzhou for many years. All the civil servants and generals in the prefecture were promoted by one hand, and all were loyal. He only knew that there was a Taiwei, but not an emperor.

At the end of last year, in order to deal with the Battle of Pengcheng, to promote Shanzong, and to show goodwill to the Liu family, he handed over the position of governor to him.

Shanzong was also very smart. After taking office, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and Xu You arranged all the old people to be retained without any adjustments.

Of course, these old people also knew the relationship between Shanzong and Xu You, and they did their best to do their best.

But doing your best is not convinced. Sometimes you will be negligent, deceive your superiors and subordinates, and disobey your superiors and followers.

The water inside is deep and the Shanzong, who is used to using murder to solve problems, is not convenient for the killing in Xuzhou to establish his authority, so he can only let Xu You give him a stable position.

"Source the elders of Xuzhou to meet the Grand Marshal!"

Shanzong took the lead in kneeling down, followed by a large area of ​​black scattered people. Xu You walked down the sea dragon boat and came to him, scolding: "What kind of morality is the chief officials in the border area kneeling down at any time!"

Shanzong stood up with a smile and said, "The Taiwei's power is so powerful that he can't stand his body when he sees it."

Xu You raised his foot and pretended to kick it, and Shan Zong hid with a smile. The colleagues next to him were stunned. Who had ever seen the appearance of the mountain governor? Minghai was born as a pirate, killed prisoners in Jinling, and killed prisoners in Chang'an. The evil aura dyed by tens of thousands of bloody heads was so strong that people dared not look directly at it.

But now he smiles with the Taiwei and is so amiable.

However, being qualified to let the Taiwei scold and beat him shows that the relationship between the two is closer than the rumors. Many people secretly thought that they should respect the mountain governor more in the future...

One sentence or one step can make Shanzong sit firmly in Xuzhou with half the effort. This is the effect of the fusion of power and prestige, which others cannot learn.

Then, Xu You went deep into the people and asked about the life of reconstruction after the war, whether he had encountered difficulties, whether he had been troubled by clerks, how to implement the exemption of taxes and taxes, etc., no matter how much, no matter how much, no matter how complicated it is, he would not be afraid of tediousness, listen to everyone's voice.

People are full of praise for the new law, increasing grain production, not afraid of famine, paying less taxes, and having more ways to make money, and life is getting better and better.

Of course, Xu You would not just listen to these people's words. Who knows if the county prefects below specially found him to fool him? All the people who had talked to him today will follow up on the investigation later. If they find fraud, they will be severely punished.

When he entered the city, there were even more crowds of people, and the roads were crowded. Even the trees were filled with children watching the fun. Xu You simply came out of the ox cart and rode his horse to wave to the crowd.

When it was time to make a show, he didn't object.

Creating an image of loving the people and promoting a certain degree of personality cult can reduce the bad consequences caused by changing dynasties in the future at the lowest cost.

The people's hearts are in me, Jiangdong will be named Xu!

When he arrived at the governor's office, he listened to the work reports of Shanzong and the two chief ministers and Sima, Xu You expressed his satisfaction. After a simple meal, he went to the Sishui River to check the implementation of relevant dredging and reinforcement projects, and then went to the Wuguan School in Xuzhou without stopping, personally selected students, and took the school entrance exam.

It took two hours to take the exam and 17 students were tested. Overall, they were still in line with their respective grades and rankings. No fraud or mischief was found.

A glimpse of the leopard in the universe shows that Shanzong's governance of Xuzhou has basically passed.

That night, Shanzong was holding a drink at home, and only drank with Xu You and the other two. When they were so happy, Xu You asked, "I heard that when you encounter difficult government affairs, you will take it back to the inner house to ask Liu Hongyu?"

Shanzong stood up in panic and said, "Mr. Lang also knows that Hongyu is a person who can't stand his temper. But now that he has married me, he has to worry about the influence and can no longer be as arrogant as before. I will inevitably feel a little wronged. I have the intention to make her happy and listen to her opinions for things that don't affect the overall situation. There is, but there is no..."

He knew Xu You too well and would never get angry because his wife interfered in politics or the girl participated in politics. Don’t you see Zhan Wenjun in charge of the secret palace, and the whole world is frightened. Zhang Xuanji is in charge of the academy and admired him from all over the world. The Taiwei is in the first day of the lunar month, so why don’t he let others do the fifteenth day of the lunar month?

But, the attitude must be correct.

If you are upright, you will only be punished, but you will not be beaten.

Sure enough, Xu You said: "Liu Hongyu was born in a family. In Jinling, she could form a group of noble girls in the army. She was well-trained and had excellent abilities. You went from Minghai to Jinling and then to Pengcheng, and you were mostly in the army and less in government affairs. When you encountered difficulties, it was right to consult her. But without rules, it was not enough to make a square basis. Liu Hongyu did not hold any position in the prefecture. If you were to Wen government affairs, it would be against the system. Are you convinced by the punishment of your salary for one year?"

Shanzong nodded hurriedly and said, "I am convinced, I am convinced!" He lacked everything, but he was not short of money. The salary cut showed that Xu You was not angry, but just followed the regulations and had a letter of reward and punishment, and was for others to see.

"However," Xu You said, "Since Liu Hongyu wants to do things, it's not bad to put it in your inner house. I plan to reform the Tingwei Office and establish Dali Temple. Under Dali Temple, we will set up a thief arresting department, and select Xuzhou as the pilot. Liu Hongyu will be the head of the Xuzhou thief arresting department. I wonder if she has this intention?"

"this……"

Shanzong hesitated: "There is no precedent for women to be officials in the outer court..."

Wei was established by the Xianbei country, and there was no need to pay much attention to the difference between men and women. For example, Yuan Mulan could be a general, and Luanniao could be a marquis and officials.

Chu was a Han people. Although the trend of Jiangdong was very popular, it was relatively conservative in this regard. Female officials in the inner court had ranks and salary. For example, Lu Lingzi was once a fourth-rank envoy. In the outer court, as Shanzong said, there was no precedent for women to become officials.

The secret residence does not count. The secret residence is a private intelligence agency affiliated with the General's Mansion. Zhan Wenjun's position as the head of the palace is not of rank, and he does not receive a salary from the court, nor is he subject to the court's control.

"Precisely because there is no precedent, if you want to break the crooked stubbornness, you must find a powerful general who will open up the way. Liu Hongyu is the young master, born in the Liu family, and the wife of your Shandong governor. With her, the government and the country will suffer much less resistance..."

Xu You explained to Shanzong in detail what it means to liberate productivity. Women can hold half of the sky. It is immoral to tie women to their homes, and it is also a huge waste and crime. Therefore, Liu Hongyu's appointment as the Xuzhou Thief Capture Office is a progress of society and civilization, and a major event that is beneficial to the country and the nation...
