general follow me

Chapter 8 Cloth

"Qinghutang?" At this moment, Shi Yuxian asked in doubt.

"Well. We found out that every governor will encounter several batches of assassins, all of whom come from Qinghutang. But in the past, they were almost only injured at this time, but they didn't kill them."

"But the one who came today was a killer who wanted to put me to death. Why?" Liu Ran asked.

"It's because someone bought/killed/killed/people." The man in black gave Liu Ran a meaningful look, and Liu Ran immediately understood.Use money to buy / fierce, indicating that the other party has already started to do something.

"If so, I should report this matter to the emperor immediately." Shi Yu said.

"Don't worry now." Liu Ran stopped Shi Yu and said, "After all, Qinghutang is a powerful sect with deep roots. If they are alarmed, the relationship between the imperial court and the Jianghu will become very delicate. And this is the usual business of the Jianghu , can’t control it completely.”

"That's right! General, our Pavilion Master wants the Jianghu to be a matter of Jianghu, that's why he let us hide in the dark. Please, General, don't disturb the Emperor." The man in black echoed.

Shi Yu fell into deep thought. After all, this matter is far-reaching. It is not only about the Jianghu, but also about the court. However, the new emperor has not long been enthroned. At this time, attacking the Jianghu will definitely lead to disaster.

"At this time, let's make sure Master Liu arrives in Suizhou safely, and we'll talk about the rest later. It's getting late, and everyone has been tired for a while, so let's rest first." Shi Yu turned and left.

With Shi Yu's order, everyone also dispersed to rest.Sanyan followed Liu Ran carefully, and helped him into the carriage. Hong Lian didn't dare to leave Liu Ran's side at this moment, so she also got into the carriage.

Strange to say, there was only one group of killers, and after they came once, they disappeared without a trace.The group arrived in Suizhou safely.

Suizhou is not as big as other states, nor is it as rich as other states. On the contrary, Liu Ran realized the reason for the poverty here only after getting off the carriage.

The governor's office is very close to Shouyue Pass, because Shouyue City in Suizhou is the first town bordering Yuesang.Seeing that Liu Ran had handled all the things that he had to do when he took office, Shi Yu left and set off.To be honest, at the beginning, he was really worried about Liu Ran alone, but later he felt that there was Hong Lian beside Liu Ran, and there was Feihua Pavilion's secret protection behind him, so there shouldn't be any major problems for the time being, besides, it was inconvenient for him to stay for a long time.Due to the lack of training in war, the soldiers guarding the frontier have gradually developed some morals in the army. If they are not rectified, sharp weapons will become scrap iron.

After Liu Ran took office, when he had nothing to do, he told his subordinates that he wanted to look up the official documents and records of previous years, and the subordinate officials secretly winked one by one, changing here and there, and making up for what should be made up as much as possible.This is really worrying for them, all of them are busier than Dali Temple, which has taken on important cases.They actually didn't want to, but a few days ago they sent people to Qinghutang as usual to find out the news, but they were told that this governor is not easy to mess with, why not?Obviously, he is escorted by General Shiyu, who has a good relationship with the emperor, but secretly there is Feihua Pavilion, a major sect in the world, to handle trivial matters.Unknowingly, Liu Ran has become a big celebrity in front of the emperor among the officials.Everyone was as attentive as a puppy, wishing to lick Liu Ran's shoes, just to say good things to the emperor for Liu Ran's future.

Liu Ranqi didn't know, he released the news to see the official document just to get the reaction of the subordinates.The result was good, the reaction was unexpectedly large, it was like a nest of snakes and rats.No wonder the emperor just changed the governor of Suizhou on horseback, and none of the subordinate officials moved. It turned out that he wanted to catch them all!

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Suizhou is already on the sidelines. At this time, the water source is even more scarce. The people in the city are fine. After all, the drought is not a short-term thing. It's about to smoke.Liu Ran couldn't say yet, at the moment he was going to see how the people were living.The people in the field are doing farm work. In this weather, Liu Ran can clearly see that most of the crops have yellow leaves due to lack of water, and they look sick.

"...My lord, let's go look elsewhere?" Seeing Liu Ran's delay in speaking, a fat official asked.

"Suizhou is so short of water, why don't you divert water from the side and build canals?" Liu Ran asked intentionally. He knew that these cunning old foxes were sure that he was young and energetic and wanted to do something, so they kept pushing him away. To open the river to divert water.Now that they have paved the way, he will count on it.

"Returning to my lord, every governor has mentioned this method, and they have also mentioned it to the emperor. However, the silver taels allocated by the imperial court to Suizhou are really insufficient, and they can't even start the construction. They have no choice but to send the silver taels to Suizhou. The people in the city are gone." Another official with a sallow complexion replied immediately, his heart was full of joy, and he had money.

"It's okay, money is not a problem. Tomorrow I will apply to the emperor for appropriation." Liu Ran paused, then suddenly asked, "According to everyone's opinion, how much should be appropriated?"

Originally, he was immersed in the joy of getting rich one moment, but he became uneasy because of this sentence the next moment. After thinking about it, the fat official said: "The previous governors basically applied for 30 taels. My lord, you..."

Liu Ran smiled mysteriously, and said, "It's really too little." After she finished speaking, she turned around, glanced at the face of the official behind her from the corner of her eye, and said with a light smile, "I'm going to apply for 3000 million taels, and I'm going to leave the office openly. Said, let those people see. I, Suizhou, can also be rescued." After finishing speaking, he left directly.Leaving a few officials secretly happy, follow the official path, 3000 million taels, what a fool!When the few people heard these words, their mouths almost crooked from laughter, and they were all thinking about how to spend the money.

In the barracks at Shouyue Pass, when Shi Yu arrived, he asked the soldiers to pick up their daily drills. Many soldiers secretly felt a little dissatisfied. In today's border pass, there is no need to fight, and the soldiers have nothing to do. Going to have fun in the city, or helping the people, what is going on now, practice?What a waste of time!

Shi Yu was also very helpless, this group of soldiers was too lazy, unfamiliar with them for a long time, and had already forgotten what they were supposed to do.The capital is far away from the border, and many things cannot be controlled here.If the discipline is neglected and the discipline of the army is not strict, if the foreign enemy invades in the future, the army will be defeated.

Shi Yu said, "From today onwards, pick up the bad habits of the past. Three hours of daily drills are essential. You must become familiar with military discipline. Don't even think that you are a soldier just because you have lived a stable life for a few days. Forgot! If there is any violation, the military law will deal with it. Of course, this general is no exception, and all the soldiers can also supervise me. If I make a mistake, I will be guilty of the same crime as you."

Then he said, "The border is stable, but as a citizen of Daqi, you should be prepared for danger in times of peace. The new emperor took office, and many things have not yet been fully taken over. This is the time when Daqi is weakest. You are Daqi's The first defensive tower, if you don't strengthen it, Daqi will really be walking on thin ice."

Everyone was a soldier with passion, and after listening to Shi Yu's words, they temporarily put their dissatisfaction behind them and responded in unison, "Yes!"

On the playground, all the soldiers were sweating profusely under the scorching sun.

"General," one of the accompanying guards found Shi Yu, and said, "Master Liu is looking for you."

Shi Yu responded, "Let Mr. Liu go in and wait for me in the tent, I'll be here in a while."

"Yes."

In the tent, Liu Ran was bored, looking here and touching there. It was the first time he came to the military camp, so he was inevitably curious.

When Shi Yu came in, he saw Liu Ran casually touching the tent, Shi Yu frowned, he never liked other people walking around in his tent, but he didn't say much, he sat on the chair and asked, "How is the injury?" how?"

Only then did Liu Ran see Shi Yu who came in, so she returned to her seat and said, "It's all right, the general doesn't have to worry about it."

"Your injury was caused by me, how can you not forget about it." Shi Yu sighed and asked, "Look for me for something?"

"Indeed, does the general know about the construction of the canal in Suizhou?" Liu Ran asked.

"I heard it from the emperor when I was in the capital. It is said that Suizhou applied for funding for the construction of the canal not once or twice, and the emperor agreed to the amount of money needed every time. One tenth of the money. The emperor sent people to check the whereabouts of the money, but all the officials along the way were unanimously vetoed and said that they did not know, so this matter has been accumulated there." After finishing speaking, Shi Yu asked, "Do you want to apply for funding? "

"Yeah." Liu Ran smiled and explained, "I've also heard a little about this matter, but it's just that the escort and the recipient of the silver shielded each other. So I came to the general today because I wanted to borrow someone from the general."

"Who?" Shi Yu was worried, so he asked again, "Are you sure?"

"Chen Jin."

Liu Ran said with a mysterious smile, "sure? If the general can guarantee that Chen Jin will say exactly what you say, I will be [-]% sure from the beginning."

"Chen Jin is an upright person, daring to speak and act, and very capable. I also liked him at the beginning, so I made an exception and mentioned him." Shi Yu looked at Liu Ran, "You want Chen Jin to replace you Escorting the river repair funds? But if there is only Chen Jin alone, and the accompanying people..."

"No, it's for me to send out the river repair money." Liu Ranxie said with a smile, "Moreover, Chen Jin is not the only one."

"Oh?" Shi Yu asked with interest.

"Cultivate plank roads in the open, keep the warehouses in the dark, and lead snakes out of their holes." Although the internal corruption of Daqi officials was not serious, it was always a poisonous sore, born in Daqi's interior, growing more and more rotten, and finally rotting the roots of Daqi.The river repair fund this time may be able to uproot it.

A Feihua Pavilion knight next to Liu Ran, received Liu Ran's letter, and immediately rushed back to Feihua Pavilion without stopping.Not long after, Xiao Wuye, the owner of Feihua Pavilion, received a letter from Liu Ran.

"Nerds are really welcome." After reading the letter, Xiao Wuye had a smile on his lips, "But you are really smart. That's all, let me help you."
