Lu Haosheng stayed up all night and was planning to summon all the officials the next day to burn the three fires for the new official to take office. Although the officials in Beishan were afraid of him, they also wanted to make these people willing to obey their orders. If they want to take root in Beishan, the first step is naturally to subdue these officials, and then subdue the gentry. When the officials and gentry are under their control, they will further win the hearts of the people.

But this is of course a difficult thing, Lu Haosheng never slept all night.

The next morning, Lu Haosheng got up early and changed into the Governor's Mansion that had been prepared in Xiguan. He sorted out the bronze mirror well. Seeing that he was so majestic in the bronze mirror, he called Qiu Ruxue and others with a little confidence. Fortunately, there was a carriage in the inn, so under the escort of Qiu Ruxue and others, he rushed to the prefect of Xinzhou before dawn.

Originally, Lu Haosheng was worried that officials would be late and he could take the opportunity to punish them in public to establish his dignity. However, when he arrived at the gate of the prefect, he saw many carriages outside the door. When he entered the yard, he saw a lot of figures, mostly wearing official uniforms, with at least fifty or sixty people. Seeing this scene, Lu Haosheng felt a little relieved. No matter what, he, the governor, still had a certain deterrence. With the order, these people gathered together.

He deliberately coughed twice, and everyone saw Lu Haosheng. At dawn, Lu Haosheng was wearing a governor's robe. The officials looked at each other, and someone bowed and said, "The officials have met the governor."

For a moment, dozens of people bowed and saluted Lu Haosheng, but Lu Haosheng was already smiling and said with a smile: "Everyone is here, I am just here for a while, I hope you can help me."

His voice was gentle, but he thought in his heart that he always wanted to give these officials a good impression.

At this time, when he saw Sun Yun, the governor of Xinzhou, had already come forward and bowed, "Report to the Governor, all the officials of the Six Divisions and officials of various departments have arrived. Please go to the hall!"

Lu Haosheng coughed, gently stroked his long beard, nodded slightly, entered the main hall and went to the main seat, and then all the officials entered the hall one after another, standing on both sides. Lu Haosheng glanced and then smiled: "I am hereby the order of His Highness of Qi to come to Beishan to take office. The rebel Xiao Huanzhang has been wiped out. Beishan wants to restore order, it is already spring plowing, and production is still needed. There are many things, so I will not talk much nonsense. The affairs of Beishan are of great importance to help you..."

Before he finished speaking, an official said: "Governor General, Zheng Hang, the head of the Ministry of Works of the Ministry of Commerce, please report something."

"Oh?" Lu Haosheng raised his hand and said, "Please speak with the head of the army!"

"Kid, the two bridges in Guhan County, Ganzhou have been built and completed." Zheng said seriously: "But the funds for this project have not been paid yet. The two bridges still have 1,400 taels of stone silver, and 700 taels of wages. None of them have been paid at present. The stone merchant and the foreman of the bridge have been urging the Ministry of Industry for the past few days to ask for silver from the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry has not been allocated for this silver. Now the Ministry of Industry cannot allocate a penny of silver. Fortunately, the Governor has arrived. The subordinate urged the Governor to quickly allocate the silver. The two thousand taels of silver cannot be dragged down."

Lu Haosheng was stunned for a moment, and another official came out and said, "Governor General, the subordinate officer, the Ministry of War, Diao Nan, reported to the soldiers' military pay for two months. No matter what, we cannot delay it. Together, we owe 60,000 to 70,000 taels of silver. The barracks have begun to have a commotion. If the military pay is not allocated, the military pay will change."

"Your Majesty, our salary has been owed for more than two months." Another person came out and said, "Everyone has both elders and younger people. The salary has not been paid. The family is hungry. I beg the adults to be considerate of the low-ranking position and pay the salary they owed as soon as possible."

Lu Haosheng frowned. Before his butt was hot, the officials had already left the list to urge the silver. After a few people came out, the others also went out, each with their own expenses and their own difficulties. In short, everyone is short of silver now, and many factors are owed for a long time. They can't continue to ow, otherwise it will lead to huge disasters. Before Lu Haosheng talks about the silver, these officials themselves have already argued, arguing about where the silver should be transferred first.

At this time, Lu Haosheng seemed to be owing a lot of debts, facing countless creditors collecting debts.

When Lu Haosheng first entered the hall, everyone stood neatly and there was still some majesty, but at this moment the hall was already in chaos, with officials quarreling with each other, and their voices were bigger than the other.

Seeing this, Sun Yun shouted loudly: "Stop talking, what kind of morality is it? Governor is here, who dares to make noise?"

His roar was of some effect. The officials were quiet, but they did not return to their positions to stand. They looked at Lu Haosheng one after another. Sun Yun had already bowed to Lu Haosheng and said, "Governor General, although everyone is excited, they are all forced to do so. Please don't be surprised. According to the opinions of the officials, other money is fine, but the military pay and the salaries of the officials cannot be owed now. Military pay is related to tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Beishan. They are now

It is not easy to make trouble yet, but if the military pay cannot be allocated, the officials really have no way to ensure that they can be safe and stable... As for everyone's salary, the officials dare to say that the officials present are all honest and honest officials who rely on their monthly salary to support their families and work hard to get up early and work late to work. If the salary is not allocated, everyone will not be able to support the elderly and young people in the family, so they will not be able to handle the job with peace of mind, so...!"

Lu Haosheng frowned and said, "How much is the salary owed?"

"Actually not many." Sun Yun hurriedly said: "The officials of all sizes and small registered in the Three Roads of Beishan have to pay their salary, from top to bottom, only more than 3,000 people. The two-month salary actually adds up to less than 80,000 taels of silver, plus two months of military pay... Diao Nan, can you count it, how much military pay is missing?"

"Oh, I'll tell you, if you have 70,000 taels of silver, you can almost make up all the military pay you owed."

"Well, that's 150,000 taels of silver." Sun Yun smiled and said, "Governor General, 150,000 taels of silver can solve the urgent problem..."

Lu Haosheng took a breath of air conditioning.

For him, 150,000 taels of silver was no longer an astronomical figure. He only had dozens of taels of silver in his hand. The most important thing is that he had no financial source at all. It was impossible for him to allocate 150,000 taels of silver.

"Beishan Silver Deposit, isn't there any silver deposit?" Lu Haosheng asked with a calm face.

Sun Yun smiled bitterly and said, "You can owe anything, but you can't owe military pay. Before the Governor arrived, we were ants on the hot pan, very anxious, and the soldiers of the military camp turned against each other. If there was money in the banknote, we would have already allocated money from the banknote to the military camp to comfort them. Even if we didn't eat or drink, we wouldn't dare to owe military pay."

"Governor, all the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue Department have been burned down, and many people have run away without a trace. As for the silver treasury, there is no copper coins." One person came out and said: "The villain is just a small clerk of the Ministry of Revenue Department. In these days, soldiers have been circling around the Ministry of Revenue Department's yamen. It is obvious that they want to get military pay. The young man is so scared that he doesn't even dare to enter the Ministry of Revenue Department's yamen."

The officials began to whisper again, and the situation was about to become noisy again.

Sun Yun coughed and said loudly: "Don't talk anymore. Since the Governor General is here, everything will be fine. Your Highness, the Governor General, will naturally help us solve these problems...!" Looking at Lu Haosheng, he said carefully: "Governor General, the prince sent you to come here. He always knows the situation in Beishan, so he sent you to take charge of the overall situation. He must also allocate some silver. The 150,000 taels of silver can be allocated today. The silver will be transferred to the situation. If we can't delay it, we will transfer it first. If it can be temporarily slowed down, we will slow it down. There are many things and we will spend money everywhere. The Governor General also needs to leave a sum of silver in the hands of the Governor just in case."

Lu Haosheng said lightly: "You mean that I will allocate 150,000 taels of silver now?"

"The official is just a suggestion." Sun Yun said.

Lu Haosheng smiled coldly and said, "Sun Yun, do you see that I have silver on me?"

Sun Yun hurriedly said, "Are you still on the road? If so, everyone will hold on for another two days. The officials will send people to the military camp and tell them that the money will arrive soon and let them stay calm..."

Lu Haosheng shook his head and said, "You are wrong. I came here, and I didn't bring any money, and there would be no money to transfer."

"The Governor was joking." Sun Yun smiled and said, "Everyone is waiting for you to come day and night, just waiting for the money to stabilize Beishan. How could the lord have no money?"

"I am joking?" Lu Haosheng said coldly: "I am really not carrying silver."

All the officials showed strange looks, all their eyes focused on Lu Haosheng, some people showed suspicion, and more people's expressions had become cold.

Lu Haosheng slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "You are all officials of the court. You should also know that the court is fighting south and north, and now is a difficult time. It is this time that everyone needs to unite with sincerity, work together to overcome difficulties. This governor knows that everyone is short of money and many places are difficult, but this governor believes that as long as everyone grits their teeth, they can always get through it. Since this governor is here, he will find a way to solve these things. Even if there is really no money, he will share the hardships with everyone...!" He had already clenched his fists and looked passionate.
