"King of Han, please forgive me for being too much. My subordinates saw everything about Queen Liang just now. She is afraid that she has some meaning to you, so she is better..."

"Xu Wenjing, if you think everyone's thoughts are as dirty as you, I don't mind picking your descendants first, don't mention this kind of thing..."

"Here, I am just giving the King of Han a reminder. Since the King of Han doesn't like it, I just assume that my subordinate didn't say it."

"You can also collect all the colorful intestines and don't soak them in the pile of women all day long. There is still a lot of things we have to do next, so don't delay it!"

"Abide by the teachings of the King of Han..."

After coming out of the side hall, Liu Ce called Xu Wenjing, Jiao Luo, Wei Ding and others to inspect the construction site together. After seeing some civilians starting to clean up the ruins, he nodded with satisfaction.

Just as he was about to go back, Liu Ce suddenly said, "By the way, what is the current situation in various parts of the capital?"

When Xu Wenjing heard this, she immediately bowed her hands seriously and said to Liu Ce: "King of Han, judging from the situation collected over the years, the situation is probably not optimistic. The damage in the provinces in the capital is too serious.

Not to mention the others, the barren fields are more than 70%. This is just a rough statistics. The actual situation is probably more serious than what you think. King Han, please be sure to make sufficient preparations."

Liu Ce nodded and said, "I have heard of these kings. It seems that what we took over is an old dynasty full of holes..."

After talking, Liu Ce wrapped his arms around the hall and began to circle around.

Xu Wenjing followed him closely and said with a serious expression: "King of Han, you can't have such an idea. My subordinates are still waiting to be your subject..."

Liu Ce waved his hand and stopped him and continued, "What else is there except farmland? Let's listen together."

Xu Wenjing said: "In addition, due to the unfavorable treatment of the plague in Tengzhou, almost all the entire province has been affected, and all the private houses in various places are abandoned and waiting to be repaired. Of course, compared with these, the large number of people are outflowing is the biggest hidden danger.

Now, the five provinces in the capital, including this god, have a rough population of only 50 million. Compared with the 200 million at its peak, it is a damaging problem. In fact, my subordinates think..."

When the words came to his mouth, Xu Wenjing suddenly paused and didn't want to say anything else.

Liu Ce gave him a blank look: "Say whatever you want. It's time, and it's still hiding. You, Xu Wenjing, a treacherous person who kills without blinking, will hesitate?"

Xu Wenjing said: "The King of Han, everyone thought that the capital of Shendu is currently unsuitable as the capital of the Han Dynasty. It is not as energetic as Yong'an in the Far East..."

When Liu Ce heard this, he chuckled and shook his head: "Xu Wenjing, I know what you are thinking, because I am afraid that a lot of annoying civil affairs will be dealt with, which will make you a little anxious?"

Xu Wenjing smiled awkwardly: "To be honest, my subordinates do have some slack ideas, but I know that what the Han King decided will not change easily, so I just regard it as a joke, don't take it to heart..."

Liu Ce sighed, turned around and said to Xu Wenjing, "No need to say too much. Now I assign you some things to do, so that you won't let you be so idle all day long."

Xu Wenjing lowered her head and bowed and said, "Please tell the King of Han."

Liu Ce said: "First, we will clean up the sanitation of all counties and main roads in this God Capital. I have inspected the city over the days and found that there were flies and insects dancing everywhere, and mice everywhere.

The ditches and streets that discharge sewage are already full of garbage. If you don’t want the next Tengzhou tragedy, this sanitation work must continue for a long time.”

Xu Wenjing nodded and remembered it silently...

Liu Ce continued: "Secondly, the capital city road should be replaced with a new one. Let the Supervision and Construction Bureau re-operate as soon as possible, and replace the loess with cement as soon as possible, so as not to be inconvenient to walk on wind and rain..."

Xu Wenjing nodded again.

"That's the third..." Liu Ce glanced at the civil servant who was cleaning up the ruined palace and said, "I hope you can raise the preliminary funds for repairing the palace as soon as possible. I have a rough calculation and it will cost about 12 million silver dollars. Is there any problem?"

Xu Wenjing hesitated for a moment and immediately bowed and said, "Please rest assured that the Lord of Han, my subordinates will definitely handle these three things properly..."

This is the first opportunity for Xu Wenjing to show his government affairs before Liu Ce ascended the throne. He must not retreat. He must handle all these things safely to satisfy Liu Ce, so that he can be reused in the officialdom of the new dynasty in the future...

Seeing Xu Wenjing slowly retreating, a faint smile appeared on Liu Ce's mouth. He believed that this kind of thing could definitely be handled properly with Xu Wenjing's ability.

...

That night, Yulongxuan Restaurant’s third floor…

In an elegantly decorated private room, Xu Wenjing and Guishi Master and Wang Zhi were clearly in their respective positions.

I saw Wang Zhi holding his pipe in his mouth, spitting out a cigarette ring, and calmly said to Xu Wenjing: "I really didn't expect that a place like Yulongxuan, a person like me who can't stand the sunshine, could come in one day openly. This will still drag you down the military advisor."

Xu Wenjing smiled faintly, raised her glass and said, "Master, I am here to meet you today. This is to thank you for your efforts. I have been busy with official business these days, and I have only made up the time to get together with you today. Please drink this cup full..."

Wang Zhi did not refuse, extinguished his pipe and picked up the wine glass, and after giving Xu Wenjing a drink, he tilted his neck and drank it all...

After a glass of wine, Xu Wenjing continued, "Actually, today I am looking for the master. I have another thing to ask for help from him. I hope he can help me."

Wang Zhi filled himself with a glass of wine and said, "What else does the military advisor need to serve in the ghost market? Even if you say it, listen..."

Xu Wenjing smiled casually: "I'm brave enough to ask the master to raise some money to deal with the many expenses in the city..."

When Wang Zhi heard this, he shook his head and said, "It turns out that he wants money. Tell me, how much is it..."

"Silver dollar, 20 million!"

When Xu Wenjing said this number, Wang Zhi was shocked.

But soon, a calm expression appeared on his face: "Military advisor, this is not a small amount. Even the ghost market does not have so much cash for you..."

Xu Wenjing smiled and said, "The master is really good at joking. In fact, the dignitaries in the entire capital have more or less related to the ghost market, right? These 20 million are not too many for the ghost market..."

Wang Zhi thought for a while, then lit a pipe of cigarettes and sucked the clouds and mists for a while, and said with a squinted eyes: "It seems that the military advisor has not put any effort into the ghost market."

Xu Wenjing smiled: "Master, don't you think that the King of Han is as useless as the Wei clan, and will turn a blind eye to the underground world of Jingji, right?"

Wang Zhi obviously heard the tone of the kindness and power in Xu Wenjing's words, and then smiled bitterly and said, "The Ghost Market will collect it within five days, but the military advisor must agree to me as a condition."

Xu Wenjing nodded and said, "Of course, please speak, sir."

Wang Zhi said, "Please take me to meet you, King of Han. I must hand over such a large sum of money to the King of Han myself, and I would like to ask him about when the cooperation agreement between us will be fulfilled."

Xu Wenjing didn't even think about it and immediately said, "No problem, I will arrange for the master to meet the King of Han tomorrow."

As soon as these words were said, Wang Zhi was stunned. He thought Xu Wenjing would refuse, but he agreed so readily, but it was beyond his expectations.

But what Wang Zhi didn't know was that the reason why Xu Wenjing agreed to Wang Zhi go to see Liu Ce was because Liu Ce had known that there was a transaction between him and the ghost market. Otherwise, with Xu Wenjing's methods, Wang Zhi would never have been allowed to live until now.

After all, Xu Wenjing is not a good man and trustworthy man, and reputation does not exist in his dictionary...

In other words, based on the original intelligence department, Liu Ce developed another set of spy agencies, specializing in serving Liu Ce's secret intelligence agencies.

"I don't want the military advisor to be so happy, which surprised the master. Since that's the case, then tomorrow, the master will be here to wait for the military advisor's summons..."

No matter what, Wang Zhi's face was still full of energy when he was able to get in touch with Liu Ce himself.

Xu Wenjing said: "It's getting late. Please rest early. Tomorrow, I will take you to see the King of Han in person."

Wang Zhi nodded: "Then the master will not send him off. Please go slowly by the military advisor."

After seeing Xu Wenjing off, Wang Zhi paced back and forth in the house, and saw strange brilliance flashing from time to time on his gloomy face.

"What kind of gift should I give to the King of Han tomorrow?"

...

The next day, in Tai Chi Hall...

"King of Han, this is the tax revenue of Jingji in the past five years. Please check it out..."

Yao Zhong handed Liu Ce a book of this article and stood respectfully aside.

When Liu Ce checked the empty book, he glanced at the empty dragon throne and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Since signing the contract with Liu Ce, Wei Kang simply stopped going to the palace and threw all the tedious affairs to Liu Ce for handling.

This made Yao Zhong's last fantasy about the Great Zhou royal family also shattered.

"In five years, the tax revenue is less than eight million taels?"

After reading the tax accounts in the document, a sharp look passed through Liu Ce's pupils.

So he raised his Chinese book and said to the civil and military officials in the court: "I finally understand why the country of Great Zhou is declining day by day. How can the court improve the dilemma if it cannot collect taxes? As civil and military officials in the court and people in the world, don't you feel guilty about this?"

Many people shrank their necks and did not dare to say anything when they heard this, but some officials looked at themselves with peace of mind and were simply disdainful of what Liu Ce said.

Among them, Wen Yanzhao is the most prominent. He has always been opposed to Liu Ce's entry into Beijing. Even if Liu Ce's military discipline is strict and he has no harm to the people, he still cannot change his views.

Seeing that all the officials were not speaking, Liu Ce snorted coldly, threw the document book on the hall, and then said: "It seems that I want to put some pressure on you, the group of corpses, to eat.

Next month, I will conduct an official assessment in this Tai Chi Hall. Any unqualified officials, no matter where you are or what your family background, will be eliminated!"

As soon as this said, the palace was shocked. Wen Yanzhao frowned and said, "King of Han, aren't you afraid of eliminating all the officials in the court?"
