Chapter 373: In Charge (1)

On this day, Yunqing summoned the civil and military officials of the fourth rank and above in the city of Pickaxe. All the people who received the summons came, there were thirteen people in total.

Yuan Ying lowered his voice and asked Feng Dajun, "Do you know what happened?" It was the first time that so many people had been summoned since the occupation of Pick City, and it felt like something big had happened.

Feng Dajun guessed what was going on in his mind, but he deliberately kept it a secret: "You will find out later." Introducing his wife to everyone in such a solemn way is really not something that is valued by ordinary people.

Walking to the door of the meeting hall, Yuxi paused and took a deep breath. Although she has experienced many things, today is of extraordinary significance to her.

Seeing this, there was a smile on the corner of Yunqing's mouth. Seeing Yuxi's calm look, it is really rare to be so nervous. Holding Yuxi's hand, Yunqing said softly: "Don't be afraid, there is me!" With him, no one can bully Yuxi.

Yu Xi hummed, straightened her chest, and stepped over the threshold. At this time, no one knew what Yu Xi's step represented.

Walking to the top, Yunqing sat on the left, and Yuxi sat on the right. Many people were startled, and then realized why Yunqing called everyone over.

Today, Yuxi is wearing a bright red long dress embroidered with peacocks, an exquisite jade belt around her waist, a high bun, and a whole set of red gold emerald emeralds, looking graceful and luxurious.

Standing at the front were Feng Dajun and Shaanxi governor Du Guoxing. Feng Dajun bent over half of his body, and said, "Feng Dajun has seen Madam." Since Yunqing wants to flatter Madam, he must help out as a younger brother.

Yuan Ying and the other generals understood immediately, and like Feng Dajun, they all bent down to salute Yu Xi. The reason why these generals accepted Yu Xi so quickly was not only because Yun Qing was an absolute authority in the army, but also because of what Yu Xi had done, which made them admire and love her.

Governor Du Guoxing didn't buy it anymore, he stood up and said, "General, this is the place for discussion, not the backyard." This means that the meeting room is not a place for women to stay.

Yun Qing said expressionlessly: "I let you come here today to tell you that my wife will take over the affairs of the Northwest in the future. From now on, my wife's words are equivalent to my words." Yun Qing is putting Yuxi on the same level as him .

Du Guoxing's complexion changed, and he said: "General, this is absolutely impossible." No matter how talented Han is, he doesn't want to work under a woman.

Yu Xi smiled lightly and said, "Tell me, why not?" Some people objected to Yu Xi's expectations, but Feng Dajun, Yuan Ying and others did not object, and other people's objections were not resistance.

Du Guoxing would not be so stupid as to say that Yuxi is a woman, so it is inappropriate: "Madam, government affairs are different, and a slight mistake will lead to disaster."

Yu Xi was not angry either, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what disaster will it cause?" Du Guoxing's words were not violent, nor did he attack her, and Yu Xi was willing to give him a chance.

Du Guoxing raised his voice and said: "Conyism, listening and believing, short-sighted." If the government affairs are handed over to the Han family, the Northwest will fall into chaos sooner or later.

Yu Xi did not argue with Du Xingguo, and said: "Whether I am a crony, partial believer, and short-sighted person, this will be proved by time." Arguing with Du Guoxing is meaningless. Her ability and vision, this can only let the facts speak for themselves.

Du Xingguo poked his neck and said: "This is impossible.

If Madam issues a wrong decree, then..."

Before Du Xingguo finished speaking, Yun Qing said in a cold voice: "As I said just now, Madam's words are equivalent to mine. If you have any objections, leave now." If you want to do it, you can do it, if you don't want to do it, you can leave. It's a very simple matter, why bother talking about it here.

Du Xingguo was so angry that he couldn't speak as if his throat had been choked. He had heard that Yunqing favored the Han family before, but he didn't expect to favor him to this extent.

Yuxi waved her hand and said, "If I make a decision that you think will be harmful to the Northwest in the future, you can tell the general." If Yunqing objected, then her decision would be too numerous to count.

Du Xingguo didn't say anything after hearing this.

Seeing this, Yuxi said, "I discussed with the general these two days and decided to send those criminals to open up wasteland. I don't know if you have any opinions?"

Du Xingguo was the first to raise an objection: "Madam, what if they run away? Also, letting these people go to land reclamation will not have the effect of punishment, and those who have evil intentions will have no worries. In addition , nor can it open up wasteland forever.”

Yuxi didn't lift her eyelids, and said, "I think, those who have been sentenced to a few years of punishment by the government will go to panic for a few years. As for the death row prisoners and captives, let them dig mines." It also requires a lot of manpower.

Hearing this, Yun Qing nodded and said, "Very good." Before he caught those barbarians from the north, he killed them directly. You don't need to kill them in the future, it's good to keep them for mining.

The corner of Du Xingguo's mouth twitched, Yun Qing agreed, what else could he say? If it's not good, wouldn't it be sweeping Yunqing's face. Yunqing is not as easy-talking as Yuxi, and it is useless for others to refute the decision he made. Annoyed him, served him directly with a military stick, and then threw it out.

It is also for this reason that other civil servants dare not object any more, so it is good to have a backer. Yuxi's previous worries were unnecessary.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Yuxi said one more thing: "Only in Shaanxi and Gansu, there is no need for two governors. I plan to remove the governor and chief envoy of Lanzhou City, and only appoint one prefect at that time." , In this way, both manpower and financial resources are saved. Now is the most difficult time, and I hope everyone will take care of it." The establishment of only one magistrate in Lanzhou City is equivalent to increasing the workload of officials in Haocheng.

Chief Minister An Zike stood up and asked, "Ma'am wants to merge the two provinces into one province. It's a good idea. It's just that the territory is too wide. Once the officials on the ground violate their promises, we will be beyond our reach."

Yuxi felt that this An Zike regarded herself as mentally handicapped, otherwise, how could she say such a stupid question: "If you dare to confide in others, just kill them directly." If you kill a lot, no one will dare to treat her again Yin Fengyang violated the order.

An Zike's heart shuddered after hearing these words, what he said just now was actually to test Han Shi. I heard that the Han family is generous and caring, but the rumors are not credible. Yun Qing is a killing god, and this Han family can't give up too much. But that's fine, a soft-hearted person is not suitable for being in power. An Zike bowed his head and said, "Madam is wise." The world used heavy codes, not to mention the current situation in the Northwest is even more special. If you don't use iron and blood methods, you won't be able to suppress the people below.

After talking for more than half an hour, most of the time it was Yu Xi who said that Du Xingguo, An Zike and others would raise any objections. As for Yun Qing, Feng Dajun and others, they were only listeners.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Yunqing stood up and said, "Let's talk about it today, we will discuss it in the afternoon if there is anything to do." It was almost time for lunch.

Du Xingguo and others went out, while Feng Dajun and Yuan Ying stayed behind.

Yuan Ying said to Yun Qing: "General, madam is in charge now, can I relieve myself of my errands?" Letting him deal with Du Xingguo and others all day, his head hurts!

Yun Qing asked: "Have you recovered?"

Yuan Ying shook his head and said: "After taking the medicine you gave, I'm much better, but I haven't recovered yet. However, I can manage the logistics of the army." Rì faced Du Xingguo and others. During the time when Yun Qing left, he discussed matters with Du Xingguo, but he was able to talk for a long time about something that was originally very simple. It was really painful to hear that he wanted to knock these people out directly.

Yunqing didn't respond, but turned to look at Yuxi.

Yuxi said with a smile: "If you work hard for a while, you can go back to the army when Mr. Tan Tuotan arrives at Pick City to pick up your errand."

Yuan Ying said happily: "Thank you, madam."

Yuxi was in a good mood: "There is no need to go back to the army, I have already ordered Mama Bai to prepare the meals, so you can stay in the mansion to eat!" Both Feng Dajun and Yuan Ying's wife and children have not yet arrived in Pick City , although these people have houses, they still live and eat in the barracks.

When Feng Dajun and Yuan Ying were in Yucheng, they often ate at Yunfu, so they didn't delay, "Then today we will have a good meal."

Back in the backyard, Yuxi said: "I thought I would be made things difficult today? I didn't expect it to go so smoothly." Like the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were regulations that women could not be involved in politics. If it involves politics, it will definitely say that the rooster is the morning.

Yun Qing said a very domineering sentence: "Whoever dares to make things difficult for you, I will kill him." He was reluctant to let his wife be wronged, and if those officials dared to make Yu Xi angry, he would not forgive him. Everyone also knew Yunqing's temperament, so they dared to make things difficult for Yuxi.

Yu Xi said softly: "He Rui, it's good to have you." With Yun Qing around, no matter what she does, she doesn't have any worries.

Yun Qing put his hands on Yu Xi's back and said, "These things are cumbersome and tiring, what's there to be happy about?" Yuan Ying hated government affairs, and Yun Qing didn't like them either. It's just that Yuan Ying can shirk it, but he can't. Unexpectedly, Yuxi felt that the government affairs that he had a headache seemed to be a great thing, and it was really incomprehensible.

Yuxi answered Yunqing's question in one sentence: "How can you be unhappy if you can do things to accumulate merit." She thought that she saw those people in Zhuangzi who were in dire straits, but she couldn't do anything to help them. Now that she has this ability and this opportunity, she is naturally happy.

Yun Qing asked with a face full of questions: "Accumulate merit?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "Yes! Think about it, if I let the people in the northwest have enough food and clothing, so that they don't have to starve to death or sell their children to death in the future, what is it if it's not accumulating merit?" Accumulation, but great fortune.

After a pause, Yuxi looked up at Yunqing and said, "It's also a very lucky thing to be able to apply what I have learned." She has learned so many things, and it will be useful in the future, which is also something to be happy about. thing.

After hearing these words, Yun Qing was shocked. He only thought that Yu Xi was restless, but he didn't expect the truth to be like this.
