Chapter 533 Shuobei’s Dilemma

Until he returned to the palace, Gayao didn't say another word.

No one knows what Gaoyao is thinking.

But everyone knew that Ga Yao was indeed shocked today.

Why weren't they shocked?

Seeing Jia Yao being sent back to the small courtyard where she was kept under house arrest, the girls couldn't help but sigh.

Yun Zheng didn't think too much about it and called Ye Zi and the others over.

Ye Zi selected talents from various cities to serve as attendants and advisors to the palace to help her handle some government affairs.

Yun Zheng spent a lot of time fighting outside. Except for two people who had helped Ye Zi handle various chores in the palace, he didn't know many of the people here, so Ye Zi introduced them to Yun Zheng one by one.

Yunzheng felt that the current situation was already the prototype of a cabinet.

In the future, you can follow this method.

However, it is definitely necessary to find more capable people to form a formal cabinet.

Maybe, Ye Zi can be made a female chief assistant in the cabinet or something.

Also, when we have enough money, we will also build a formal official office.

In the past, it was because the expenses were too high, and there was really not much money and not enough time to build the Jiedushi official office. But now that Beihuan has been pacified, this matter should be put on the agenda.

He didn't want to turn his palace into an official office, dealing with endless government affairs all day long.

After Ye Zi finished introducing Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng began to ask about Shuobei's internal affairs.

Shuobei's financial situation is still not optimistic.

Although Zhang Xu, the God of Wealth, was helping to make money, Shuo Bei's expenses were too great.

Yunzheng and the others were fighting on the front line, but they just rushed and killed.

But the rear needs to provide them with a lot of support.

Smelting iron, forging weapons, manufacturing armor, expanding grain roads, etc. all cost a lot of money.

The fighting was in full swing at the front, but although the people in the rear were not in dire straits, they were still miserable.

However, the good news is that with the opening of Fuzhou's frontier, many poor people from the customs still moved to Shuobei with the mentality of giving it a try.

Ye Zi also followed Yun Zheng's instructions and gave those people two choices.

First, they can dig up their own wasteland, and whatever amount is reclaimed will be their own, and they will be exempted from taxes for six years.

Second, the government will allocate land to them according to their capita, but they will only be exempted from tax for one year.

If there is no food, the government will provide food, but it is not free. After they settle down, the food will be counted in their taxes.

Because of these policies, most people chose to reclaim wasteland themselves.

Currently, a temporary town has appeared in the center of the triangle of Beiluguan, Mayi, and Moyang.

Most of the people in the town moved in from within the pass and were temporarily resettled there.

Those people had just arrived and didn't have time to build a house. Of course, they didn't have that much money to build a house. Ye Zi sent people to allocate some tents to temporarily provide shelter for those people.

In the future, Ye Zi plans to build markets, roads, etc. there.

In this way, in addition to reclaiming wasteland, those people can also exchange for silver or food by doing work.

Recently, Ye Zi has also negotiated some more complete policies with the people who handle internal affairs to accommodate these people. While Yun Zheng is there, Ye Zi also gives the preliminary policies to Yun Zheng for him to see and let Yun Zheng make a decision.

These policies were considered very humane when placed in the Qian Dynasty.

According to these policies, people who move to Shuobei, even if they are impoverished, can settle down as long as they are not lazy.

Of course, if you are a lazy person, you will not be able to blame others even if you starve to death.

Yun Zheng took a look and found that there were basically no major changes that needed to be made. There were only a few minor changes, and he asked Ye Zi to continue implementing the current policy.

Afterwards, Ye Zi brought out what Yunzheng was most afraid of seeing.

Ledger!

Yun Zheng only took a cursory glance, and then his head started to grow.

The amount of silver in the entire Shuobei area is almost negligible.

Yunzheng only had more than one million taels of silver left in his private treasury.

This is because You Zhangxu is constantly helping him make money.

The silver coins he brought from the imperial city have long been spent!

Moreover, this does not include the pensions for the soldiers who died in this battle and the rewards for those who have made meritorious services.

If those were included, his more than one million taels of silver would definitely not be enough.

Looking at the ledger in front of him, Yun Zheng wished he could send the Eighteen Ghost Riders into the pass to rob the rich and give to the poor.

Damn it!

This money seems to be quite a lot, but when it comes to spending it, I can't help spending it at all.

"Okay, you all go to work first!"

Yun Zheng rubbed his head, stood up and took Ye Zi's hand, "Come for a walk with me!"

Ye Zi pursed her lips and smiled, then followed Yun Zheng to the garden of the palace.

"Are you starting to worry about money?"

Ye Zi asked Yunzheng with a smile.

"A little bit sad, but not bad."

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, and then told Ye Zi his idea of ​​setting up a cabinet and making her the chief minister.

"How can this be done!"

Ye Zi refused without thinking, "Before, it was because you were leading the army in Sanbian City that I had no choice but to be put on the shelf. But now that the battle is over, I can't..."

"Hear me out."

Yun Zheng interrupted Ye Zi, "It's okay to let me lead the troops and fight, but let me handle these complicated internal affairs. I'm really not the material!"

"If there is a cabinet, detailed government affairs can be handed over to the cabinet, and I will be responsible for controlling the general direction!"

"You can continue to take care of these things for the time being, and then change them when a suitable person is found..."

Ye Zi is indeed his good wife.

If it weren't for Ye Zi to help him deal with these things, it would be difficult to straighten them out!

Currently, Ye Zi is definitely the most suitable person to do this.

But he doesn't want his woman to be too tired. He will definitely find someone to replace Ye Zi in the future.

"All right!"

Since Yunzheng said so, Ye Zi refused, "Then I will continue to take care of these things for the time being! You should also seize the time to find a suitable candidate. It is not suitable for me, a woman, to keep taking care of these things. ! The cabinet you are talking about can have a formal form first, and then the cabinet can be formally established after the formal personnel are decided."

"Yes, I think so too."

Yun Zheng put his arms around Ye Zi's waist and said with a smile, "We really have a heart-to-heart, and we want to get together again."

Feeling Yun Zheng's big hands on her waist, Ye Zi couldn't help but look at him shyly.

Ye Zi leaned in Yun Zheng's arms, walked a few steps with him, and suddenly sighed softly.

"what happened?"

Yunzheng asked with a smile.

Ye Zi pursed her lips and smiled, "I was just thinking that Jia Yao must be more suitable for this job than me, but it's a pity... alas..."

Saying that, Ye Zi sighed again.

"Don't even think about it."

Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "Our cadre has no shortage of talented people, but we haven't found the right one yet! I will put out the recruitment list later, and I will definitely find the right person! It's not difficult to find the right person, the hard thing is to find the right person. Someone worth trusting.”

The reason why Ye Zi was allowed to temporarily take care of these matters, besides Ye Zi's own talent, was because Yun Zheng absolutely trusted her.

Be talented, virtuous, and trustworthy.

Such people are really hard to find.

If it really doesn't work, you have to cultivate it yourself.

"That's true."

Ye Zi nodded, "I discovered a very talented person before, but later I found out that he was a spy sent by the prince, and my mother had ordered him to be executed secretly."
