Dongning, Governor's Mansion.

In the study, Ye Mingsheng was busy writing, making his own instructions on the plan to open a new mine in Posu Mansion. After writing this, Ye Mingsheng picked up the damage report of Changqing Mansion in response to the small-scale Luobi people's attack.

Now that the weather is getting colder, the Luobi people on the grassland have become restless. They are not good at production and can only go south to invade and plunder like in previous years. As a result, the defense of Changqing Mansion during this period was also compromised.

No small test··············

Fortunately, perhaps the upper echelons of the Luobei people also knew that Liaoyang was not a wealthy place. If they wanted to launch a large-scale plunder, they would go to Youyan, which was relatively wealthy, and would not go to Liaoyang to launch a large-scale war.

According to reports from the Changqing Mansion, among the dozens of groups of Luobi people who have been found to have gone south to plunder, the largest group only has three to five hundred people, and the general size is about a hundred or ten people, because according to the reserve policy implemented by Ye Mingsheng

, so the regiment training in each township and the township warriors have also undergone a lot of military training, so they can still deal with this size of Luobi people's stragglers!

In addition, the standing army stationed in Changqing Mansion took the initiative to attack everywhere. Therefore, the Luobei people did not plunder as they did in previous years in Liaoyang and plundered a lot of money. Instead, they suffered head injuries and lost soldiers in Changqing Mansion. According to Changqing Mansion,

According to reports from the Qing government, 535 Luobei people have been killed and 326 captured. In addition, more than a thousand cattle and sheep have been seized, effectively ensuring the safety of the lives and property of the people of Liaoyang...

············

Regarding the situation in Changqing Mansion, Ye Mingsheng also gave his own instructions. He first affirmed the results achieved by Changqing Mansion in preventing the Luobi people, and then warned them to be careful, not to be careless, and to always pay attention.

The movement on the grassland is a warning to the Luobi people who will become angry and invade in large numbers!

In addition, Ye Mingsheng also gave a way to deal with the captured Luobi people. First, he paraded them through the streets and allowed the people to throw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves on them to enhance the self-confidence of the people in Changqing Mansion who had been looted by the Luobi people all the year round.

.

Then they were sent to Posuo Prefecture to mine. In this era, due to the underdeveloped production technology, mining was a very risky matter.

After knowing the risks of mining, Ye Mingsheng also sympathized with the miners' difficulties and demanded strict protection of the miners' rights. This not only won Ye Mingsheng the love of the miners, but also undoubtedly increased the cost of mining.

And now this group of Luobi people who are burning, killing and looting are naturally a good way to save costs by joining the mines. This can also be regarded as allowing them to atone for the crimes they have committed...

·····

As for the captured cattle, sheep and livestock, they were distributed to the people who were unfortunate enough to be harassed by the Luobi people, which could be regarded as a small amount of compensation for their losses.

Without raising his head and working non-stop with his hands for more than two hours, Ye Mingsheng originally thought that there would be a lot less official documents on his desk, but when he saw Qi Dechao holding a thick stack of memorials again, he entered into his

Behind the study room, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

"Why are there so many? Don't the Chief Secretary's people work?" Ye Mingsheng asked with some confusion:

Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Qi Dechao said helplessly:

"Mr. Cui Shao Cui often asked for leave when he was the Chief Secretary. Even when he came, he would only do it in the morning. He didn't care much about government affairs. In the afternoon, he would either go to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to books, or he would go back to Cui Mansion to rest. Mr. Gu

They were busy with diplomatic affairs, so the officials in the various departments below did not dare to make the decision, so they sent all the matters to the Governor's Office..."

Hearing this, Ye Mingsheng was a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy about what Cui Shao had done.

According to the Zhou system, the military governor is in charge of the military affairs of a province and cannot be involved in government affairs. Only the governor can take charge of the military affairs of a province. Therefore, theoretically speaking, Ye Mingsheng cannot touch government affairs. The government affairs of a province should have

The chief envoy will take charge.

What Ye Mingsheng is doing now is absolutely beyond his authority. If this were done in the heyday of the Great Zhou Dynasty, not only would he lose his head, but his family would also be unlucky. But of course, today is different from the past. Even the Imperial Court of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be in trouble.

They were all split in two, and the human head was about to be beaten into a dog's head. Naturally, no one would care whether Ye Mingsheng overstepped his authority in Liaoyang.

Cui Shao, who is the official chief envoy, is also a smart man. He knows that Ye Mingsheng will definitely grasp the military affairs. If he insists on government affairs, he will definitely have conflicts with Ye Mingsheng, so he simply ignores the government affairs.

All the departments were handed over to Ye Mingsheng, and he became the chief envoy in name only. Don’t you, Ye Mingsheng, want to grab him? I’ll give you all my eyebrows and beard...

At first, Ye Mingsheng was quite happy with Cui Shao's knowledge. However, faced with a steady stream of memorials, he was busy hitting the back of his head with his feet. However, he knew very well the great power in his hands and his sense of responsibility to the people, so even if

No matter how busy he was, Ye Mingsheng always had a cautious heart and did not dare to be disrespectful towards military and political affairs.

It is this seriousness that leads Ye Mingsheng to be busy all day long, except for going to the toilet, he is dealing with military and political affairs in the study. Sometimes he even sleeps in the study with his clothes on at night. Although Ye Mingsheng is young, strong and energetic

, but as time went by, he began to feel like he couldn't bear it anymore.

So in order to reduce his own pressure, Ye Mingsheng also consciously delegated power to Gu Sansi, Zhang Juning, and even Ma Runshan and others. But unfortunately, Gu Sansi, Zhang Juning and others also had a lot of things on their hands and could not help.

Too much Ye Mingsheng···············

Now hearing that Cui Shao, the real chief minister, lived such a leisurely and contented life, walking birds in a ladder cage, Ye Mingsheng, who was already a little annoyed by the government affairs memorials, couldn't help but be a little envious. The example of the Fourth Master Ye Boar Skin is that he is a

It is clear that this is just Liaoyang. If he waits until he conquers the world, if this continues, he will not be able to perform government affairs and work hard to death?

Ye Mingsheng gradually made a decision in his heart. He could not overtax his body and let Cui Shao, an old bad guy, live so freely and freely!

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng pondered for a moment and asked Qi Dechao:

"Are any of these memorials particularly important?"

Hearing this, Qi Dechao thought for a moment and then shook his head and said:

"The important affairs recently are mainly the Luobi people's harassment in Changqing Prefecture and the mining of Posu Prefecture. They have all been dealt with by your Excellency. These newly obtained memorials are mainly of little impact.

Chores!"

When Ye Mingsheng heard this, he made up his mind and said:

"Go and return these memorials to the Chief Secretary and ask them to deal with Chief Secretary Cui! Chief Secretary Cui has to do something with his salary!"

"Sir, give these to Cui Shao..." Qi Dechao was startled when he heard this and then asked with some doubts:

Ye Mingsheng asked back:

"The Chief Secretary has a second Chief Secretary Choi?"

Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, although he didn't know why Ye Mingsheng was acting out of character, seeing that Ye Mingsheng didn't look like he was joking, Qi Dechao understood what to do. He picked up the memorial again, nodded and said to Ye Mingsheng:

'Sir, I understand! I will send it to the Chief Secretary right away!'

Looking at the stack of thick memorials, which were taken away by Qi Dechao, Ye Mingsheng felt a lot more relaxed. When he saw that it was still early outside, he couldn't help but pay attention, and wanted to visit a teahouse and theater.

, relax and unwind in city life.

Feudal society did not have as many entertainment options as modern society. You can almost count the ways to relax and entertain on your fingers. Drinking tea, listening to operas and listening to books is one of the few ways Ye Mingsheng likes. However, because of official duties, Ye Mingsheng

Mingsheng has not gone out to play in almost three months. Although he has listened to a few plays in his yard before, listening to it in the Governor's Mansion and listening to it in a teahouse and theater are completely different concepts...

·········

When singing in the Governor's Mansion, those actors were afraid of the majesty of the Governor's Mansion. Although the operas they sang were good, they were also strict and cautious and did not dare to go beyond the rules. Moreover, Ye Mingsheng himself was a star in the Governor's Mansion, and Ye Mingsheng always responded to requests.

Be aware of the responsibilities and pressures on yourself.

But hiding his identity in the teahouse and theater, he is just an ordinary person. This helps Ye Mingsheng temporarily forget those things and concentrate on relaxation and enjoyment!

Now that the decision has been made, Ye Mingsheng did not delay, and directly asked Ye Kui to change into casual clothes, and with seven or eight capable guards, he went out to have a good time in Dongning City. Seeing Ye Mingsheng today

The interest arose. Although Ye Kui was worried about Ye Mingsheng's safety, he also knew that he could not persuade Ye Mingsheng. However, for the sake of Ye Mingsheng's safety, he also strongly asked Ye Mingsheng to wait in the house for a while so that he could arrange for plainclothes protection.

, the guard battalion is on standby at any time··············

Although he was a little helpless, Ye Mingsheng also understood the work of his subordinates very well, so he waited in the mansion for another half an hour before changing into casual clothes and quietly slipped out from the back door of the Governor's Mansion. At this time, he was walking on the street with his guards.

Ye Mingsheng, who was on the bed, looked like just a young man from a rich family. No one would have thought that this young man was the military governor who stomped his feet and trembled in Liaoyang!

Looking at the passers-by and listening to the shouts in his ears, Ye Mingsheng felt particularly relaxed. When he left the house to go to the staff headquarters and the camp in the north of the city to inspect various ministries, the people below were all here for safety reasons.

Let the City Patrol Department arrange the clearing of the entire street in advance, so that there will be no idlers waiting.

Looking at the steaming steamed buns and wontons sold by the vendors around him and smelling the aroma, Ye Mingsheng, who happened to come out of the house and hadn't eaten yet, couldn't help but feel a little hungry. Ye Mingsheng didn't hesitate.

Just walking over and watching Ye Mingsheng walking towards the stall, Ye Kui couldn't help but remind him:

"Sir, you can't eat outside..."

Although he knew that Ye Kui meant well, Ye Mingsheng turned a deaf ear to this and walked straight to the stall and said:

"How much are the buns and wontons?"

Upon hearing the inquiry, the store owner glanced at Ye Mingsheng and several followers behind him, and said without thinking:

"Vegetable buns cost one penny each, meat buns cost three cents each, a bowl of vegetable wontons cost three cents, and a bowl of meat dumplings cost ten cents. Sir, how much do you want?"

Ye Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction at the store's answer. The price is still very affordable. This also shows that the price of food in Liaoyang has dropped from the high point in winter, and the supply of food is sufficient. This undoubtedly shows that

It turns out that Ye’s reforms are effective!

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng turned to look at Ye Kui and the guards behind him and asked;

"Are you going to eat?"

In response to Ye Mingsheng's question, Ye Kui subconsciously wanted to answer no, but after thinking about it, he smiled and said:

"All of them have eaten just now, and I am the only one who hasn't eaten. Master, please bring me a portion of whatever you want to eat!"

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng didn't think too much and said directly to the store:

"Two bowls of meat wontons and six steamed buns!"

"okay!"

The food was served very quickly in the shop. In just one cup of tea, he brought over a steaming bowl of wontons and six steamed buns and said:

"Sir, you have that bowl of wontons left in the pot cooking..."

"Um!"

Ye Mingsheng responded casually and was about to take the chopsticks and start eating. However, Ye Kui was the first to take the chopsticks. He took the chopsticks and ignored the wontons and steamed buns that were still hot and ate them with big mouthfuls. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng suddenly felt a little agitated.
