Li Zhongyi did not expect that Zhang would be aware of the situation in Hangzhou this year, and he could easily get all kinds of economic data.

The Wu Yue Kingdom was recently pacified and was in need of Xun's official position who understood the national conditions. Li Zhongyi passed two exams and had a basic understanding of Zhang this year.

Now, Li Zhongyi has officially summoned Zhang Bennian to further understand Zhang Bennian's governance level through interviews.

"Our army is about to advance westward, I wonder what to do?" Li Zhongyi didn't have much time and didn't want to circle around Zhang Bennian, so he simply asked him directly.

Zhang Bennian thought about it and bowed his hand and said, "I think the situation in Hangzhou, Xiuzhou and Mingzhou is truly stable. If you want to be truly stable, you must use Thunderbolt means so that the wealthy people dare not have any other intentions."

Li Zhongyi touched his chin and asked Zhang Bennian again: "What is the thunderous method?"

Zhang Bennian bowed again and said, "My dear ministers think that the major families in the city should hand over their legitimate progeny."

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly. He had considered the issue of protons for a long time. The core reason why he had never used it was that if he really had a rebellious intention, even if he sent his son to be a proton, he would still rebell.

Seeing that Li Zhongyi did not express his opinion, Zhang Bennian explained: "On the surface, they are forcing all the big investors to hand over the protons, but they are just doing it with peace of mind. In fact, they secretly sent people to control various neighbors and monitor the big investors' private contact..."

Li Zhongyi just smiled but said nothing. The method Zhang said this year is actually similar to his method of controlling Kaifeng City!

Inside and outside Kaifeng City, Li Zheng and Cun Zheng in each village have been replaced by soldiers of the Li family army. The subtleties have changed slightly, and the nearby Li Zheng and Cun Zheng has already conveyed the news, and the army can directly slaughter the disaster and kill the disaster in its infancy.

Zhang's proposal to hand over the protons this year was actually just an open means of confusion. The key was to control each other and each village in private.

"After our army advances westward, if any thief invades the superiors and causes trouble, what should we do?" Li Zhongyi continued to ask Zhang Bennian.

Zhang Bennen replied: "As the saying goes, you should use heavy sanctions in troubled times. After the army advances westward, the control power of Hangzhou and Wuyue will inevitably be more empty. Therefore, not killing a large number of thieves who dare to cause trouble will not be enough to stabilize the situation."

Li Zhongyi nodded. Fighting the country is not a joke. The rebellion of the party is a complete conflict between the enemy and us. We must be treated as the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.

Next, Li Zhongyi and Zhang Bennian had a talk for nearly three hours. Finally, Li Zhongyi decisively beat the bill and appointed Zhang Bennian as the Propaganda Envoy of Jiangdong Road and the Prefect of Hangzhou on the spot.

The so-called Jiangdong Road, which is the thirteen prefectures of the Wuyue Kingdom, has now been changed to Jiangdong Road by Li Zhongyi.

Leading 40,000 troops and horses in Liao Shanhe, Hangzhou, was appointed as the chief general manager and chief recruiting envoy of Jiangdongdao.

Liao Shanhe was in charge of the army, and Zhang was in charge of the government this year. The two cooperated with each other to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong Road, which was Li Zhongyi's purpose.

"Liu Du Envoy, if the army lacks supplies, just come to find the subordinates." After Zhang officially took office as the Xuanfu Envoy of Jiangdong Road this year, he did not delay any trouble and expressed his full cooperation attitude towards Liao Shanhe on the spot.

Liao Shanhe thought for a while and said, "The army is not short of food, but the dishes served with food are too monotonous. If you have any questions, Zhang Xuanfu will try to help raise some of them."

Li Zhongyi nodded. The soldiers did not lack food, but because the war had just subsided, most of the vegetable farmers in the country did not dare to deliver vegetables to the city to sell.

Zhang had thought of this layer this year, and he said without any ambiguity: "Xiaoguan summoned the villages of various counties to come to the Hangzhou government office and ordered them to persuade vegetable farmers to go to the city to sell vegetables, so as to ensure the supply of dishes from the army."

Li Zhongyi was a little surprised. He had not appointed the magistrates of each county yet. Zhang had already thought of a fundamental solution this year, but he was a really talented person.

After Zhang Bennian and Liao Shanhe withdrew, Huang Guangqun was summoned into the hall. As soon as he saw Li Zhongyi, he gave a great ceremony to worship, "My minister Huang Guangqun, I will pay my respects to the emperor, and the emperor will be blessed."

"Let's flat." Li Zhongyi waved his hand and smiled, "Sit down, let's chat slowly."

Huang Guangqun originally thought that Li Zhongyi would be very arrogant, but he didn't expect that Li Zhongyi was so approachable.

"Since you were the Ai Shi of Hangzhou Prefecture, you naturally have some understanding of the situation in Hangzhou Prefecture. Don't be anxious or afraid, just say it slowly." After Li Zhongyi ordered someone to serve tea, he comforted Huang Guangqun with a smile.

Huang Guangqun quickly stood up and said respectfully: "Students do know a little about the situation in Hangzhou Prefecture. From the students' opinion, if the situation in Hangzhou Prefecture is stable, the best way is to encourage business to open the door..."

Li Zhongyi just listened silently and did not interrupt, allowing Huang Guangqun to express his opinions in one go.

"The emperor, the land of Hangzhou is based on grain and business. If business is prohibited, it will be equivalent to cutting off everyone's life. Over time, unpredictable things will happen." Huang Guangqun said it very tactfully, and Li Zhongyi understood it as soon as he heard it. Huang Guangqun's statement is essentially to promote employment, so that the people can have a taste of food and make some money.

The root cause of the inability to maintain a small peasant society is that the longer the peace time, the more people the population, and the land is not divided enough, and a large number of unemployed people appear.

As long as the number of people without jobs exceeds a certain number, it will inevitably lead to deterioration of public security and even a blow.

Li Zhongyi did not expect that Huang Guangqun actually had the awareness of stabilizing the employment situation and explained the fundamental logic of having a lot of jobs and people's safety, which was really rare.

"Emperor, since the war broke out, trade between the Wu and Yue region and the north has been cut off. Students thought that trade should be resumed as soon as possible to promote people's livelihood." Huang Guangqun said a lot of his personal opinions, but unexpectedly, some of them were completely consistent with Li Zhongyi's economic and livelihood thoughts.

As the saying goes, it’s a thousand times less to drink with a close friend, and there’s more than a single sentence without any speculation.

Li Zhongyi and Huang Guangqun chatted for three hours. Through chatting, Li Zhongyi gradually grasped the root cause of the stability of the situation in Wu and Yue areas.

To put it bluntly, it is not surprising at all, it is a good weather and a peaceful life!

The common people actually don’t have much thought about who will become the emperor. Their core is to make some money and have some food to support the whole family.

It was getting late, and after Li Zhongyi left Huang Guangqun for dinner, he issued a government order, appointing Huang Guangqun as the magistrate of Hangzhou Prefecture and the magistrate of Qiantang.

In the next five days, Li Zhongyi took time to meet all 100 candidates. According to their performance, they were appointed as magistrates, procurator, county magistrate or chief clerk, and clerk.
