Chapter 1299: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (One Hundred and Eighty-Nine) Together

He Lanxiong burst out laughing, "Brothers and sisters, let me settle the score. I can tell you, Brother Zhao, that girls are extroverted. This is true. Don't tell me to lower the price. I'm afraid this little girl will still be thinking about how much she wants." Knock a few from me."

Zhao Xilie shook his head and expressed disbelief, "Princess Helan's temperament probably means she has no feeling for money."

"Why didn't I feel it? Now I feel it. You don't know, right? This Mingbo company is in Yanzi's name. It is her own business. Now she thinks of herself as a boss. She thinks about it all day long. How can she make more money to show that she can not only fight but also do business?" He Lanxiong shook his head.

When Zhao Xilie heard the news for the first time, he immediately opened his mouth, "I was fooled by the *Pig*Pig*Island* novel w.zuzd. If I had known that Mingbo Company belonged to Princess Helan, I would have had to let the housekeeper kill me again. Bargain!"

He Lanxiong's head shook like a rattle, "It's useless. If you carry me out, the girl might even pay a 10% increase."

The two looked at each other and laughed wildly.

"Your Majesty, it's really interesting. The shares of Wu's Liquor Industry and the mine were given to the First Princess, Procter & Gamble's shares were given to the Third Princess, and the Mingbo that was just made was given to Princess Helan, and it was said that it was for the three Princesses. Isn’t it too much money to care about oneself?” Zhao Xilie shook his head.

"You don't know, Your Majesty, this is to prevent Wang Wu's direct descendants. Our Finance Minister always thinks that the money is not enough, but it happens that our King is able to make money. He just makes a few moves and makes a large amount of money every year. From time to time, Minister Wang wanted to take some money from the king to subsidize the national treasury. The king was so annoyed that he gave the property to his three wives. He had nothing. No matter how good you, Wang Wu, you can still find three wives. The princess wants money?" He Lanxiong's eyes and eyebrows were all smiles, "But now our king asks for his annual salary as soon as he sees Wang Wudi. It is said that the money is in the hands of his wife, so he can live a good life now. It’s so miserable, it’s reported that our Minister Wang has been going around our King in private!”

Zhao Xilie couldn't laugh or cry, "The best, they are all the best!" Of course they are all the best. A finance minister who used to chase the king to ask for his private money is now the other way around. As a king, he chased the ministers to ask for his salary when he had the chance. The deeds of the two people will become interesting stories in Dahan Weekly from time to time, and they will be publicized to the whole world.

However, from these interesting things, Zhao Xilie smelled a completely new atmosphere that was completely different from the past. It was a relaxed and free atmosphere, which made him very comfortable. As a surrendered general, he was very cautious when he first arrived. But a year has passed, whether it was cooperating with Xu Yuan in the First Military Region, later dealing with officials from the imperial court in Jicheng, or finally reporting to the Third Military Region. What he saw and heard was always far from what he imagined. His best prediction at the time was also much worse than his current situation.

Come to the Third Military Region,

Is it a kind of exile? Look at it from one angle. Yes, he has since moved away from the center and the Zhao land where he has far-reaching influence. But from another perspective, this is not a kind of protection. Even He Lanxiong is here! Compared with He Lanxiong, my status is probably even worse. He Lanxiong is calm and working enthusiastically here, so why can't I do the same?

He Lanxiong is a typical Xiongnu man, straight-hearted and loud. It is really a pleasure to work with him.

"Have you read the briefing that was just sent?" He Lanxiong threw away the charcoal in his hand, walked to the window, and enjoyed the dancing snowflakes outside with Zhao Xilie. Zhao Xilie came from a wealthy and noble family. Although he was a military general, he was very elegant. He Lanxiong has always felt that this kind of interest in enjoying snow is really worthless. When he was carrying his sister on his back and fleeing with his tribe, this snow was so unpredictable that it cost his life! However, Zhao Xilie may never be able to understand this kind of experience. Sometimes He Lanxiong envied people like Zhao Xilie. His current status and power were achieved with one sword and one gun. But the eldest son Zhao in front of him was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and his life was smooth, even if the Zhao Kingdom fell. , but when they changed their homes, they still had fine clothes and fine food, and they were high and mighty.

Looking at Zhao Xilie's side face, He Lanxiong thought silently in his heart, fortunately, this person is not annoying, at least so far, they are still very happy to get along with, and the cooperation is also very tacit. After all, Zhao Xilie came from a noble family, and in terms of people's livelihood, he was much better than himself, a general on horseback. He could be allowed to do more in this area in the future.

"I've seen it! Our king is reforming the old government offices again and setting up new institutions." Zhao Xilie smiled and said: "The king seems to have this hobby. The Ministry of Rites became the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda, Mr. Xun also became an official and Huo Xiaolin became Minister of Culture and Propaganda, the Ministry of Health was newly established, and Qiu Debao became the minister. "

"What do you think of these two new ministries?" He Lanxiong asked.

"Cultural Propaganda Department, I understand culture. What is propaganda? It probably refers to public opinion. It seems that our king still attaches great importance to this area. We used to talk about the theory of clear flow, but now, master the discourse The power is not based on word of mouth, but on the Dahan Weekly. "Zhao Xilie said with a smile: "Relying on movable type printing and the distribution points of weekly newspapers throughout the states and counties, the imperial court can easily control public opinion."

"Isn't that true? Isn't it also very convenient for those Qingliu who like to talk nonsense? Write an article and submit it to the weekly newspaper. Once it is published, wouldn't it be able to spread all over the world faster than before?" He Lanxiong asked rhetorically.

"Commander, don't even look at it. Who runs this Dahan Weekly? It's run by the imperial court. What was the purpose of setting up the Propaganda Department? I think it's mostly here to do this." Zhao Xilie said.

"Then they dared to publish the incident between the King of Han and Wang Wu's first wife, making the king the laughing stock of the world!" He Lanxiong said dissatisfied.

"You are wrong about this. The matter between the king and Minister Wang is harmless. Don't you think that after this matter spreads all over the world, the people will think that the king is more approachable to the people? More like a person of flesh and blood? When the people think about it, oh, it turns out Our king is also short of money, and at the same time, he also publicized our minister Wang's unyielding character. Look, minister Wang is not even afraid of the king. If you others want to play tricks on him, forget it!" Zhao Xilie shook his head! Authentic: "To put it bluntly, the imperial court asked them to publish it, or even instructed them to publish it. If the imperial court does not want them to publicize something, it will never appear in the newspaper."

He Lanxiong stared at Zhao Xilie for a long time with wide eyes, "Sure enough, you scholars are more discerning."

"Commander, don't you also study?" Zhao Xilie chuckled.

"Well, my study is different from yours." He Lanxiong shook his head, "The Ministry of Health is another thing? Qiu Debao is a doctor. Is it possible that a special department should be set up to manage the medical treatment? It seems that ours The king is indeed addicted to establishing new yamen."

"I don't quite understand this, but the king never does things that are useless. It's just that we don't understand, or after a while, we can understand."

"I hope so. While yamen are being abolished, new yamen are being established at the same time. With all this going on, the number of people supported by the court has not decreased much!"

"That's still different." Zhao Xilie said with a smile: "With this change, there are fewer people who are freeloaders, and the newly established yamen are each taking care of their own affairs. The efficiency of the current yamen is much higher. "

"Well, that's true. Forget it, let's not talk about these things. There are many things that the adults have to worry about. Let's just worry about our own affairs. Brother Zhao, you have been here for a whole year, and you are basically familiar with the situation here. We are familiar with it, and we have a map of what we are going to do. Our third military region is responsible for military and civilian affairs. This is completely different from the mainland, so the two of us still have to divide the work. For the civil affairs, Brother Zhao, you You should be in charge of the family education. To be honest, I have been worried to death in the past two years. I am really not good at this. I am busy and do twice the result with half the result. "

Zhao Xilie was stunned. Although the Third Military Region is called a military region, in fact, its main business is reclamation. It has hundreds of thousands of people under its jurisdiction. Basically, it involves civil affairs, and all activities revolve around development. Reclamation, economic construction mainly, the real military strength, in fact, does not exceed 10,000 people, He Lanxiong entrusted the entire civil affairs to him, this is giving him most of the power of the Third Military Region, he subconsciously He wanted to refuse.

However, He Lanxiong raised his hand and waved it in front of him, "Old Zhao, I know what you are worried about and what you are thinking. Here, I just want to tell you that when you are an official in our big man, these things you There is no need to think about it. What you have to do is to do these things well. Why didn’t I give them to you when you first came? That’s because I want to see you. After a year, I think you No matter in terms of ability or other aspects, you are enough to bear these. At least in terms of civil affairs, you are much better than me. Know people and be good at assigning them. This is what your Majesty taught me. Let the right people do the right things. I I think this is why the king asked you to come here, not just because you are Zhao Xilie."

Zhao Xilie was stunned for a while and nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay, since the commander said so, if Xilie doesn't work hard and doesn't do these things well, is he still a human being? Commander, please don't worry! "

"That's right!" He Lanxiong smiled and patted his shoulder hard, "With you in charge of this, I can devote my energy to the military." (To be continued...)
