Along the way to Xiongzhou, Qin Guan’s approached the border, the more desolate it was, which was very different from the prosperity of the Jiangnan area.

The people are in a hurry and are busy with life.

A month later, I finally arrived at Dayuan City, Hexi Prefecture.

After settling in an inn, Qin Guan took out a blank prayer letter and wrote three copies, asking Qin Mao to take Xiong Daxiong Er to send it out.

When he went to the local government, the first thing he did was to pay a visit to Shangguan, that is, to report that Qin Guan was the prefect of Xiongzhou, so he naturally had to show his face to the governor, governor, and governor of Xuezheng. After paying a visit to Shangguan, Qin Guan would be considered to have officially taken office.

When Chen Yichen took office, he did not pay homage to the governor, but to the governor. He followed Qin Guan, the immediate boss, to save this procedure.

When he woke up the next morning, Qin Guan changed into his official uniform, got into the sedan chair he rented last night, and took Xiong Daxiong Er out. The first stop was naturally to go to the Governor's Office.

In the back hall of the Governor's yamen, Hexi Governor Duan Zhongqiu met him. Duan Zhongqiu is in his fifties and has short beards and looks at Qin Guan with a pair of eyes. The first feeling that Qin Guan gave him was that he was so young.

Back then, I only passed the second grade Jinshi in middle age. Fortunately, I followed the right person and was promoted by Zeng Xiangguo, so I gradually took the position of governor of Hexi.

Qin Guan, who was young, was directly appointed as the governor of the top scorer in the exam, which made him, a Shangguan, sigh.

Duan Zhongqiu said seriously with a stern face: "Xiongzhou is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and the people's livelihood is in a complicated situation. Last autumn, Liao Dynasty invaded the border and destroyed Xiongzhou again. You are the top scholar in the current academic year. The imperial court sent you here to believe in your ability. After you arrive in Xiongzhou, you must make some achievements as soon as possible. I don't want to give you a test next year, and I will directly evaluate you as unqualified."

"I still have official duties to deal with, so I won't leave you more."

Governor Duan didn't even use any tricks of serving tea and seeing off guests, so he spoke directly to drive people away.

Before Qin Guan came, his father Qin Zhang naturally told him about the situation in Hexi. Qin Guan knew that this Governor Duan was a perfect Zeng Dang. Qin Guan offended Zeng Yu. As a member of Zeng Dang, he would definitely not have a good face to him.

Qin Guan stood up and raised his hand to salute, "Then the official will say goodbye."

After saying that, he strode out of the governor's office.

It’s not that Qin Guan didn’t want to have a good relationship with Shangguan, but mainly that the two sides were already in power, including factional disputes between Zeng Yu and Chen Zheng, and the personal grudges between Qin Guan and Zeng Yu. The conflicts were irreconcilable. It was absolutely impossible to let Duan Zhongqiu appreciate him. Since this is the case, Qin Guan would not foolishly write about other people’s cold butts.

After leaving the Governor's Office, Qin Guan went straight to the Governor's Office.

Qin Guan reported the news according to the ceremony and soon came back to invite Qin Guan into it. As soon as he entered the main hall, Qin Guan saw the governor standing in the main hall and smiling at his smile. Qin Guan quickly stepped forward to greet him: "The lower-ranking official Qin Guan has seen Lord Shen."

Chen Xiangyan nodded with a smile, "I am worthy of being the top scholar in the current academic year. The official family personally awarded the title of Cixian. He is really a talented person. If you are a good person, you are a good person. I will call you a good person in the future."

Chen Xiangyan showed great closeness when he came up.

The father of the governor, Lord Shen, also introduced it, and it was very detailed. Speaking of which, this person is a real Shen Party. In terms of it, he is still Chen Zheng's nephew, and he is a member of the Shen Party, so he naturally becomes more close.

Qin Guan sighed in his heart after listening to his father's introduction that the official relationship was really complicated. With such arrangements, I wonder if the emperor intends to restrain and balance the forces of all parties.

Chen Xiangyan greeted Qin Guan to sit down and said earnestly: "Before you, I have received a letter from Chen Xiangguo, asking me to take care of you. Your new arrival in Hexi and Xiongzhou is quite complicated. I am afraid there are many things waiting for you to be busy after taking office."

"Last year, the Liao Kingdom sent a 10,000-man army to invade the border and fought with the Xin'an army. The Xin'an army suffered a great loss. Han Shicheng was seriously injured. The Liao army invaded 30 miles of our country and attacked the city of Dayuan. Later, all parties mobilized troops to encircle it. In addition, the Liao Kingdom only attacked tentatively and robbed a batch of material population. It retreated on its own before winter."

"However, after this incident, Xiongzhou was also hit by a military disaster and has not yet recovered. The following report shows that there are still tens of thousands of people stranded in Xiongzhou City. Xiongzhou Yamen has reported to the Governor's Yamen and the Governor's Yamen for help many times."

"Now that when you take office, the first thing you do is to resettle these refugees and solve the food problem. You need to personally grasp these things, and there must be no civil chaos."

"There are also issues regarding taxation. Xiongzhou suffered a military disaster. Local governments reported that they wanted to reduce tax burdens. We have reported the documents to the court, but they have not approved them until now. It is about to be the time to collect the tax burden for half a year."

"If the court does not exempt taxes and does not allocate disaster relief funds, and the tax burden in the second half of the year cannot be collected, your life in Xiongzhou will be difficult. Where do local expenses come from, how to deal with disaster victims, and how to maintain the Xiang army, you must have a concern in your mind."

“And that’s it…”

Chen Xiangyan talked about Xiongzhou's government affairs, and every matter was very difficult. After suffering from military disasters, he was not exempted from taxes and relief. Thinking about it, there was a problem here. The court didn't know where to argue.

Qin Guan frowned and asked, "Mr. Governor, I don't know if the province can provide some assistance to Xiongzhou to alleviate the current dilemma."

Chen Xiangyan thought for a while and said, "The situation in Hexi is not optimistic, and the finances are not abundant. But since you have spoken, you will always help you. Let's do this. I'll let Taipingchang allocate 100,000 kilograms of grain to you."

One hundred thousand kilograms of grain, a lot.

Qin Guan was delighted at first, but after a little calculation, he immediately felt something was wrong.

One hundred thousand kilograms, if you count, it will only be 50 tons of grain.

Damn, it's just a truck of modern times.

Moreover, this is still grain with shells. If the shell is removed, it will probably be about 40 tons.

40 meals to support more than 10,000 refugees,

Even if one person has a pound of food a day, ten thousand people will only be enough for 8 days to eat.

It's dry enough.

Qin Guan converted it in his mind again. 10,000 jin is about 80,000 jin. If the current price of grain in the Great Zhao Kingdom is 100 jin, a dou of japonica rice is 100 jin, and a stone is 100 jin, which means it is always the same.

Well, our governor is generous and generous, and supports Qin Guan’s 800 yuan in money.

Eight hundred stalks!

Damn, I took out a glass ball and bounced you to death.

But this is already good. This is still my own person, otherwise he would not give you a piece of food.

Qin Guan said goodbye and said in a serious manner that he had a note in his hand that he could get 10,000 kilograms of grain from Taiping Warehouse, which was also a bit of gain.

He turned to the Admiral and the Admiral Government Office again.

As soon as he received the notice, the scholar-official master ran out to greet Qin Guan himself. The old man in his fifties came up and grabbed Qin Guan's hand, which made Qin Guan feel flattered. This person is too enthusiastic.

Looking at the old guy's eager eyes.

Could it be an old rabbit?
