When it comes to Hedong, this area is indeed very special. It has always been a troublesome place, and it has been even more special since the Five Dynasties.

Jinyang has been a place where emperors and dragons have flourished since ancient times, or a nest for separatist forces to resist the central government. The people are used to war and are strong and difficult to control.

Guo Wei sent Guo Hao here, but he didn't let him take his family. One is to punish Guo Hao, who told him to resist the order and refuse to marry, and did not give Lao Guo face. The other is to be on the verge of precautions, if Guo Hao rebels, his family will all suffer.

There is actually a reason why the people in Hedong are strong. The land here is barren, and it is not easy for the people to rely on the land to make a living. Guo Wei sent Guo Hao here to see if he can turn decay into magic.

After Guo Hao met the officials, he went directly to the governor's mansion. The capital of Hedong was in Taiyuan, so Guo Hao was also the governor of Taiyuan. For Guo Hao, this was a punishment, but others thought that this reward was not light.

Among the Jiedu governors of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Hao was the youngest, twenty-five years old, but in fact he was only twenty-three years old.

Guo Hao is also a big territory of the governors, with five armies and three counties, and more than 50,000 troops, but there are not so many now. Guo Hao can only dispatch less than 20,000 of these troubles of Liu Chong, and they are all distributed in various places.

Want to re-enlist?

The people would not agree. Before, each household and one army had already taken away the strong laborers from Hedong. Now Guo Hao only has two thousand defenders from Jinyang, which was left by Chai Rong.

"I'm poor!"

Looking at the inventory items, Guo Hao couldn't help but sigh that it was halfway through summer and Curry's grain had bottomed out. Curry's autumn harvest was still some time, and it might be difficult to endure this period.

But even if it is difficult, he has to endure it. He has to take care of all the things in the vassal states and local affairs. The power is too great. No wonder so many people rebel.

"No, I'll send someone to submit a letter to the court to allocate food. I can't let the people starve to death as soon as I take office. Otherwise, I, the governor, wouldn't have the face to keep going?"

I heard that Guo Hao was going to submit a letter, and Deputy Envoy Liu Xiang said: "Sir, the court has given you the power to you, the purpose is to let you solve the problem yourself. Now you want to ask the court for help, which is not good..."

Guo Hao is not very familiar with these officials. When he heard that he had to solve the problem himself, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Can't you open your mouth to the court?"

"It's not that it can't, it's not good."

Liu Xiang smiled and explained to Guo Hao, thinking that this new boss knew nothing, but that was good, so that they could take the power into their own hands.

"Then what are you talking about? I'll ask you to ask for it. Why don't you use it if there is a simple method? I have to ask yourself a problem!"

No matter what others think, he has to pass the hurdle before the court agrees or not, he has to do it first.

"this……"

Deputy envoy Liu Xiang looked at the judge Cui Hao, and Cui Hao nodded to him. Since Guo Hao wanted to submit a letter, let's listen to him. Anyway, there are too many such things, and the court thinks he is incompetent and will not use him.

As a leader, there are naturally special secretaries. Someone soon wrote a memorial. Guo Hao read it without any problem and sent someone to the court.

While waiting for the news, people were going to do small things, and now there was nothing big, so Guo Haoxian was bored and simply went to the city to stroll around.

As a thousand-year-old ancient city, Jinyang City has definitely accumulated history. After the war, the streets were restored to life, the people all walked out of their homes, and merchants also reopened.

Guo Hao was wearing casual clothes and brought Li Hui and other confidants to a restaurant. As soon as he entered the door, he heard someone talking about him.

"Did you hear that the new military governor sent by the court seemed to be the one who pacified Liu Chong. This man was young and had great means. More than 10,000 people died in the battle in Nancheng!"

"So, why did I hear that he knows magic? A thunder can be seen with a wave of his hand. Many people were killed by him. We may not have a good life in the future."

"Who said no? Liu Chong was already cruel enough before, and now there is something even more powerful. The previous flood collapsed my house, but the court said nothing at all, hey..."

When people heard the conversation, most of them were worried. Because Guo Hao was too cold-blooded in the war, many people were afraid that he was brutal by nature.

Seeing that Guo Hao's face was a little unhappy, Li Hui wanted to go up and teach a few people a lesson and stop talking nonsense, but Guo Hao reached out to stop him, got up and smiled.

"Why did I hear that the new Jiedu governor, after breaking through Yushe and Taigu, did not harm the people in the city.

After taking down Jinyang, he did not indulge the soldiers to loot. He only pursued the evil officials who did not surrender and did not hurt their families. Can't such a person be considered kind?"

Guo Hao's words attracted the attention of several people. When the few people looked up, they saw a young man, tall and strong, and very majestic.

"You are right. He did not implicate the people, but he was too cruel in war. One of my brothers was injured by his thunder. Now he is lying at home half-dead, so he might as well die.

They are all Han people, why should he use such cruel means? Many of us relatives died under his knife!"

After the man said that, everyone else sighed. Guo Hao's expression was a little complicated. He didn't think so much about it when he was fighting. Now, he saw that he was indeed a little cruel at that time.

"What are the people..."

Guo Hao suddenly remembered Wang Dezhong, the literati who died in prison. He was indeed very honest. It’s a pity that he followed the wrong person. Guo Hao didn’t want to kill him, but he killed him with his head.

If you want to govern the feudal towns, in addition to military food, the important thing is the hearts of the people. If all the people are afraid of them, this is not a good thing.

"Young Master..."

Seeing that Guo Hao didn't speak, Li Hui wanted to remind him, Guo Hao raised his hand and told him not to speak.

"He can't do this, after all, he obeys orders, and those dead soldiers may not die if they don't rebel with Liu Chong."

"Rebellion? Whoever thought about rebellion? They just wanted to have a full meal and get some money. As for whom they were not important, the emperor would not care about us people."

"Brother Zhou is careful!"

Seeing his companion commenting on the emperor, another person quickly reminded him. Guo Hao didn't mind after hearing this. Perhaps what he said was true. It was because of the inaction and non-supervision of the court that the vassal states had the opportunity to grow bigger.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the food obtained from military farms was uniformly dispatched by the central government, but later the war was always ineffective, so it was delegated to the Jiedushi.

In addition to farming, there is also salt affairs. The people cannot do without food and salt. If they master these two amateurs, they can be completely independent.

Guo Hao found that the people's hearts do not go to the court, which was a very terrible phenomenon. He thought before that he could not look for the court, but now it seems that the people's impression of the court must be deepened.

"Hey, this brother, you probably aren't a local guy, right?"

"Haha, this elder brother is very powerful. I am a native of Bianliang. I know the governor you mentioned."

"What? Do you know him? You heard what we just said?"

The faces of several people changed drastically. Guo Hao smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't misunderstand me, I'm not familiar with him. I haven't seen him yet. To be honest, I actually came to Jinyang to be an official. The court asked me to take charge of the people's livelihood and economy. I'll come out and see if I have nothing to do."

"It turns out that we are the sect leader. We have nothing to do and we have no other intentions. If we make any mistakes, please take care of it."

"It's okay, I think the city is still lively. The previous chaos has recovered. I just don't know what the market makers in the fields are going to be able to supply this year?"

"You have asked the right person, you have to say that this year's crops are better than in previous years. As long as you wait for the autumn harvest safely, it will be enough for us to spend the whole year!"

Guo Hao nodded when he heard this. It seemed that God was still looking at him. As long as it was not a disaster year, the people's problems would not be big. If you want to win people's hearts, you must care about the people's food problems.

"That's good. Your Majesty has just entered the great treasure and has reduced the taxes. Now that we have a good harvest, the people can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

After hearing what Guo Hao said, several people looked at each other, and one of them said, "Dare you ask, can you really collect taxes according to the standards set by the court?"

"That's natural!"

"What should I do with the army of the governor, and what should I do with the officials of his subordinates?"

"this……"

This is not good for self-operation. Being a boss requires salary, and where does the salary come from? Naturally, it is to exploit the people.
