July 15th of the second year of Yuanyou.

When he was in charge of Fenglang, Quan was appointed Luo Shi, Kaifeng County, and Quan promoted the official of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Luo Shi was a Jinshi in the second year of Zhiping.

This person is a well-known infrastructure maniac.

Since he became an official, he has been crazily launching water conservancy projects and various infrastructures wherever he goes.

The key is that he usually doesn't ask for resources from his superiors, nor does he make random payments like others.

Instead, we use existing resources according to local conditions and mobilize the people.

Such people, even in modern times, are bureaucrats who can be given to them.

Therefore, when Luo Shi was an official in Kaifeng County, he was attracted by Zhao Xu.

Many projects in Bianjing City were left to Luo Shi to do.

I want money to give money, people to give people, and technology to give technology.

Today, the two wooden transportation tracks in Bianjing City that connect the major stacking yards and the Bianjing Academy were built in cooperation with Luo Shi and Jia Zhongmin.

In addition, Luo Shi also presided over the maintenance project of the Bian River embankment last year, increased the height and reinforced the embankment, and built several flood discharge gates for flood diversion during flooding periods.

Zhao Xu was very satisfied, so Luo Shi was promoted to be dismissed from Kaifeng Prefecture this time.

From Kaifeng magistrate, he was directly promoted to Kaifeng Prefecture Promotion Officer, becoming the No. 4 figure in Kaifeng Prefecture.

It can be said to have soared into the sky!

As for Zhang Shangying, the former Kaifeng Prefecture Promoter?

He was implicated in various cases in the palace and was dismissed with Cai Jing.

However, his deposition was just a formality.

After being dismissed, he took office in his new position less than half a month - he mentioned the official affairs of the Criminal Prison in Guangnan West Road and the official affairs of the Criminal Prison in Annan Protectorate.

According to conventional rules, this is definitely a demotion - everyone has been demoted to Lingnan!

But, now this situation is a high rise.

Xihe and Guangxi dispatch are now recognized as fat people!

The milling and exploration are fast, the political achievements are high, and the oil and water are thick.

The key is to go straight to the sky!

The Ministry of Personnel must report the official lists in these two places directly to the imperial court.

So, it's very hot!

Now, Xihe and Guangxi are sent to the Ministry of Personnel, it is already the "top quota".

If one quota is often released, hundreds of officials will compete for it!

On the same day, Zhao Xu issued an edict: Because of Kun Cheng's ritual, he would be grateful to the world, and all the troops and states would be tributed, and everything would be suspended.

Tu tribute is the annual tribute/reward of the Han and Tang dynasties. It was originally a symbolic contribution of local specialties to the central government for the emperor's reward or playfulness.

Therefore, the amount of tribute in the land is generally relatively small.

For example, Kaifeng Prefecture, one-year-old earth tribute is just thirty pieces of square-patterned silk, thirty pieces of square-patterned gauze, eleven collars of reed mats, fifteen pounds of ephedra, and one bucket of sour jujubes.

Even the poorest military state can be taken out at will.

But the problem is that people in the local area can't hold back the people who are entrusted with this name.

During the trial of the cases of clerks in the government, a large number of clerks were dug out in the name of tribute, and levies.

There were evil officials who paid almost a hundred stakes of "Silver-Sales" in just one township.

Conservatively estimated that in 17 counties and 21 towns in the prefecture, clerks pay tens of thousands of taxes every year under the pretext of "local tribute".

The impact is very bad!

This is Kaifeng Prefecture!

Under the emperor's nose!

Zhao Xu couldn't imagine what the tribute in the southeast sixth road would be played like?

The key is that none of the money has entered Zhao Xu's pile sealing warehouse!

Not many people even entered the local officials' pockets.

Most of them fell into the pockets of clerks!

Many clerks even believed that this was the benefit given to them by the court!

So, I feel at ease when I take it one by one.

It is equivalent to Zhao Xu himself only got only thirty horses of square patterned yarn, square patterned silk, eleven-collar reed mats, fifteen pounds of ephedra, and a bucket of sour jujubes each year.

But I have to bear the reputation of levying tens of thousands of yuan every year!

You guys have taken the benefits!

But it's mine?!

It's outrageous!

Zhao Xu simply stopped all the land tribute with one size fits the same size.

Of course, the central government still needs local specialties.

This is a need for great unification!

It is also a manifestation of the dynasty's sense of existence.

Therefore, Zhao Xu then issued an edict, ordering the department to organize the local tribute list of prefectures and counties, and then allocate money from the capping warehouse to the prefectures and counties officials, who will purchase corresponding local goods on the market according to the market price.

Then it was sent to Bianjing City through the national postal and transmission system.

In this way, the court could still obtain local specialties, but there was no reason or excuse for additional suffrage in the local area.

Although many local clerks may still make money under the guise of "local tribute".

But in the end, the blame will never be left behind by Zhao Guan's family.

After Zhao Xu's decree was issued, the court and the country were naturally praised.

The elders even directly compared this matter with Emperor Wen of Han's suspension of the tributes of the vassal states, praising this as a "benevolent policy for all ages."

As well, the Qingshou Palace became happy.

Because the guise that Zhao Xu used to stop the tribute was "for the Holy Day of the Grandmother".

This is the best gift for Qingshou Palace, which is the best face in life.

Therefore, on the next day, July was already ugly (16th), the Empress Dowager sent someone to invite Zhao Xu and Xiang to the Qingshou Palace to attend the palace banquet.

Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Xiang naturally readily went there and waited to the Qingbiao Palace.

Zhao Xu discovered that many people came to this palace banquet.

The entire Qingshou Palace is full of relatives and relatives.

When Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Xiang arrived, these people immediately lined up and came to the hall to greet Zhao Xu and Empress Dowager Xiang.

The first ones to come to the hall were naturally the two emperor uncles and their families.

"I am Yang Wang Hao (King Jing), and I respectfully ask the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Queen Mother, I will be blessed with all my blessings!"

Then, there are two female voices.

"My wife Wang..." The voice of a delicate girl came from behind King Jing.

This is Zhao Xu's new aunt, Wang, the newly married bride Wang, who was the King of Jing Zhao Wei this year.

He came from a famous family and was a lady of the Wang family in Taiyuan.

To express his joy for the emperor's uncle Xuxian, Zhao Xu specially ordered someone to go to Dengzhou and asked Su Shi to write the poems of the wife who was appointed as the Wang family.

This made Zhao Wei grow a big face in the royal family!

Become the recognized prince of the most holy favored prince.

After Wang, there was a slightly tired middle-aged female voice: "My wife Feng..."

"I respectfully ask the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, I will be blessed with all my blessings!"

Through the curtain, Zhao Xu looked into the hall and saw behind Zhao Hao a Kun Dao wearing a Taoist robe standing on the hall, worshiping the curtain.

At the same time, Zhao Xu also saw the gloomy Sima face of his 'Dear Second Uncle'.

"Master Shouchong, how did you enter the palace?" Zhao Xu asked softly.

A female official replied: "It was the grace of the empress who reported to the official family. She specially ordered the emperor to become a festival. Master Yun Xizhen Ningji went out of Yaohua Palace to reunite with his family..."

Zhao Xu listened and said happily: "This is of course the best!"

Zhao Xu knew that Yang Wang Hao wanted to completely break up with Feng and marry another bride.
