    ?

    Du Qi saw the cheers of the people around him, but he didn't stop him, and let the people shout and celebrate.  This scene fell into the eyes of Long Zhengyang and Hu Youshan, and a trace of bitterness flashed across the faces of both master and apprentice.

    As expected of Du Qi.

    This is really a big deal!

    Once you arrive in Yanqi, you will be exempted from agricultural tax and corvee for three years.  You must know that the life of the people in Yanqi Kingdom is not very good, although they are barely passable.  The agricultural tax and corvee were exempted for three years, and the people really benefited.

    For the original Yanqi State, the annual agricultural tax is extremely critical.  After all, the Turks have to collect a lot of money every year. If there is no agricultural tax, Yanqi's finances will be unable to make ends meet.  In addition to other corvee service, it is also extremely important.  Because some people serve corvee, many engineering fortifications can be solved, otherwise things will not be easy to handle.

    However, Du Qi is different.

    This is the difference.

    The Yanqi Kingdom ruled by Long Zhengyang is frugal and stretched everywhere, but Du Qi can exempt taxes arbitrarily.  At this moment, Long Zhengyang was completely convinced in his heart. If he refused to accept it, Du Qi could solve the things he didn't dare to do with one sentence.

    The key is that Du Qi has the confidence.

    Everyone knows that Du Qi has sufficient wealth.

    Du Qi waited for the cheers of the people to end before giving the order to enter the city.

    A group of people entered the city, and the army directly took over the defense of Yanqi City.  In addition, the army under Du Qi's command also entered the barracks directly and took over the army of Yanqi State itself.

    Xue Rengui, Xiao Yuanqi, and Ma Yuan were in charge of reorganizing the army.  In addition, Yanqi Kingdom's palace guards were directly reorganized, and the original guards of the palace were already in charge of soldiers under Du Qi's command.

    Everything is in Du Qi's hands, so Du Qi can rest assured.  If it were Long Zhengyang's person, Du Qi was worried.

    Du Qi led all the civil and military officials to the main hall in the palace.

    The host and guest are seated.

    Du Qi glanced at all the officials present, and after some words, he asked everyone to perform their duties, and even Long Zhengyang went down to busy himself with his own affairs.

    Now that Du Qi came, Long Zhengyang moved away from the palace and lived again in the city.  After all, Long Zhengyang is the lord of a country, and has many industries in the city, so he has a place to live.

    Du Qi left Hu Youshan in the hall.

    ?Besides, Guo Xiaozheng, Huang Shi, Jiang Changzong and others were also there.

    Du Qi's eyes fell on Hu Youshan.  He didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "Teacher Hu, I have already learned about you through Mr. Guo. No matter what you said to Mr. Guo, this king will just say a word. Is Mrs. Hu willing to work for this king?  "

    Hu Youshan seemed very calm, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Reporting to Your Highness, the old man is now fifty-six, and half of his body has been buried in the ground. In this life, he has been worrying about the government affairs of the Yanqi Kingdom. Because there are always Turks on top of his head, he walks on thin ice every day.  Worrying everywhere. So much so that when I was in my early fifties, I actually looked like I was in my sixties."

    "The whole person is extremely tired."

    "Now that King Pingxi has entered the Yanqi Kingdom and solved the problems of the people, the old man has finally relieved himself of the burden and can finally ignore things. So now, the old man hopes to be able to work at sunrise and rest at sunset."

    Hu Youshan said: "Your Highness's kindness is appreciated by this old man, please Your Highness forgive me for not being able to serve as an official."

    Du Qi frowned.

    Hu Youshan is really determined to leave the officialdom.

    ? For Du Qi, it was easier for Hu Youshan to govern the Yanqi Kingdom.  On the one hand, Hu Youshan has prestige.  On the other hand, Hu Youshan is really talented.

    It is a pity that such a person leaves.

    Du Qidao: "Teacher Hu, because Yanqi Kingdom was weak and Turks were strong, you worked hard to support Yanqi Kingdom like a tinker."

    "Even if you are full of ambitions, it is difficult to use what you have learned when the country is in a difficult situation."

    "Now, it's different."

    "Now that Yanqi Kingdom has been brought under my king's command and has become Yanqi Prefecture, you will no longer bear the pressure you once had. This is an opportunity for you to show off your talents and ambitions. Taifu Hu, you really gave up your ideals and yourself just like that.  full of strategy."

    Du Qi said: "It is a great pity in life to disarm and return to the fields with regrets!"

    When Hu Youshan heard this, he frowned slightly.

    There was a sigh in his eyes.

    Du Qi's words touched his heart. He was an official all his life, won the trust of the former king, and presided over the government affairs of Yanqi State.  However, the strength of Yanqi State is weak, and it is suppressed everywhere, and it is even harassed by the Turks.peel.

    Even though Hu Youshan is talented, he can only manage to maintain it.  Now that all this is over, under Du Qi's command, there are no more worries, and Hu Youshan can show his strengths.

    Hu Youshan was a little moved, but when he thought that he won the trust of the former king and became the minister of Tuogu to assist Long Zhengyang, but in the end he persuaded Long Zhengyang to give up resisting and surrender to Du Qi, he sighed in his heart.

    He betrayed the country of Yanqi.

    He failed the trust of the former king.

    Thinking of this, Hu Youshan no longer has the intention of becoming an official, he is unwilling to be a second minister.

    Hu Youshan looked up at Du Qi, his eyes became firm again, and he continued: "Your Highness's kindness, I appreciate it. It's just that I really don't intend to become an official. Please forgive me."

    Du Qi narrowed his eyes.

    It's hard to persuade Hu Youshan here.  Earlier, Du Qi ordered Guo Xiaozheng to collect information on Hu Youshan. On the way here, Du Qi received news from Guo Xiaozheng that he knew something about Hu Youshan.

    Unexpectedly, the persuasion failed.

    Du Qi thought for a while, and he had a plan in mind, and said: "Teacher Hu, the door here is open for you at any time. You can enter the palace at any time after you have figured it out."

    Hu Youshan said: "Your Highness, I am grateful for your kindness. It's just that I have decided to go. After all, I am old and half of my body is buried in the ground. I have no hope of being able to relax, raise flowers and plants, and live a clean life."

    Du Qidao: "My king agrees."

    "Thank you, Your Highness."

    Hu Youshan stood up to thank you.

    He also breathed a sigh of relief, worried that if he repeatedly rejected Du Qi, if he really offended Du Qi, the consequences would be disastrous.  Now that Du Qi lets him go, he can feel at ease.

    Hu Youshan immediately resigned, Du Qi waved his hand, and Hu Youshan turned and left.  In the main hall, only Jiang Changzong, Guo Xiaozheng, and Huang Shi were left.

    Huang Shi's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Hu Youshan is shameless. Your Highness offered him a chance, but he was not sure. Although Hu Youshan contributed to the surrender of Yanqi Kingdom, this old guy must have other ideas.  Just do him."

    Guo Xiaozheng hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't listen to Huangshi's words. Hu Youshan has great influence in the territory of Yanqi Kingdom. These years, Yanqi Kingdom can survive all these years because of Hu Youshan's support. If Hu Youshan is dealt with, it will definitely cause an uproar. More  What's more, His Highness said in front of the people today that he would not deal with officials, and Hu Youshan died in a blink of an eye, even if he died of other reasons, it would be detrimental to His Highness's reputation, and his humble position does not agree."

    Jiang Changzong echoed: "The humble official does not agree to deal with Hu Youshan, Hu Youshan will be taken care of for the time being. As long as he does not affect His Highness, there is no need to take care of him."

    Du Qi laughed and said, "This king knows what to do."

    After a pause, Du Qi continued: "With this king, there is no such thing as leaving so easily. Hu Youshan wants to resign from office and not to be an official, but this king refuses to allow it."

    Guo Xiaozheng said: "Your Highness wants to plot against Hu Youshan?"

    Du Qi nodded and said: "Hu Youshan has great influence in Yanqi country. With him, he can unite the hearts of the people. And using Hu Youshan can make the people of Yanqi country recognize this king. It's just that Hu Youshan insists on resigning. This is an opportunity.  The recognition of the king by the common people will also give Hu Youshan the opportunity to come out of the mountain again."

    Guo Xiaozheng said: "What is your Highness going to do?"

    Du Qidao: "It's actually very simple. It's just coercing public opinion to persuade Hu Youshan. Master Guo, you arrange for people to post a notice in the city, summoning the people of Yanqi City to come outside the palace tomorrow morning, and the king has something to announce."  : www.hlnovel.com
