    In an unknown small courtyard by Dayan Lake, Wang Jian and Gao Yuan formally signed an agreement, clarifying the relationship between the two parties. Dahan also officially owned his first vassal state. At this point, the most important task of both parties was completed.  The following bilateral cooperation was naturally negotiated by the subordinates Wang Jian brought with Gao Yuan's subordinates. Wang Jian happily pretended to be Gao Yuan's follower, and followed Gao Yuan to start a formal inspection of Dayan County. For Wang Jian,  He said that the current Han Dynasty gave him a huge impact all the time, whether it was the development of the Han Dynasty or the concepts of the Han people.  He saw the unlimited support for Gao Yuan from the people of Dayan County. That kind of respect from the heart made Wang Jian tremble a little in his heart. But at the same time, he also observed that the people here did not have any special fear of officials.  On the contrary, those officials were deliberately trying to please ordinary people, at least in Wang Jian's opinion. When he saw the high-ranking councilors Gao Yuan was talking about, Wang Jian recognized one of them. He was a man who once had great power in the former Qi State.  In a small-scale exchange, Tian Yuanyuan, the senior congressman, publicly refuted a senior official of the Han Dynasty, Sun Xiao, the Protector of the Eastern Protectorate, and criticized some of his policies. However, Sun Xiao always faced it with a smile.  He kept explaining to the congressmen present, and Gao Yuan, who was sitting there, obviously stood on a neutral position and did not favor Sun Xiao just because he was his confidant.  This made Wang Jian very puzzled. If the Han Dynasty was like this everywhere, how could the authority of the government survive?  How can one herd one side and govern the world?  Wang Jian saw the latest issue of Dahan Weekly.  From there, I saw a major case about Liaolin County. This was a case that shocked the Han Dynasty. The county governor Mao Dewang was removed from his post and transferred to the pre-military post of the Third Military Region. This was an out-and-out derogation in the Han Dynasty.  Hundreds of officials from the three counties of Liaodong lost their jobs for this reason.  What shocked Wang Jian even more was that Mutu, the great hero who exposed this major case, was eventually sentenced to death by the circuit court sent by the Han Dynasty to the three counties of Liaodong. And the dozen or so leaders who followed Mutu to launch the riot were also sentenced to death.  One by one, they were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from ten to twenty years.  There are too many things in the Han Dynasty that Wang Jian does not understand, and there are many ideas that are contrary to Wang Jian's idea of ??governing the country and bringing peace to the world, according to Wang Jian's understanding.  Such a country.  It should be right that it is in chaos and on the verge of collapse, but the fact is that this country's national power is growing day by day, and the strength it displays is beyond its reach.  He sent people to collect every issue of Dahan Weekly from the date of its publication, and collected various laws and regulations issued by Dahan. He planned to take these things back and study them carefully.  Keeping the essence and getting rid of the dross, Wang Jian considers himself a good scholar who is not afraid to learn from the strengths of others. Given time, he will definitely create a world that is not inferior to that of the Han Dynasty.  Ten days later, Gao Yuan ended his inspection of Dayan County. Wang Jia set off and returned all the way, passing through western Liaoning and reaching Hejian.  After detouring through Yuyang and entering Qianzhao, Wang Jian returned to Jiyang, and Wang Jian's trip was considered a successful conclusion.  After sending Gao Yuan away, Wang Jian returned to the post house where he lived, and Huang Xiao, who was responsible for the specific negotiations, was waiting for him exhausted.  "Thank you for your hard work." Wang Jian said, looking at Huang Xiao who had almost lost weight.  "This is the duty of subordinates." Huang Xiao said: "It's just that, general, these Han people are so treacherous that they have to pick out even a word. They have to care about even a copper plate. It is really speechless." "This  That's the characteristic of a big man!" Wang Jian said with a smile: "Two days ago, I followed Gao Yuan to a council meeting in Dayan County. Do you know what I saw? Their council member directly spoke in front of Sun Xiao.  The Dongduhufu who questioned Sun Xiao spent far more than the budget on entertaining guests in the first half of the year. "How do these councilors know about Sun Xiao's expenses on entertaining guests?" Huang Xiaoqi asked.  "Because every quarter, these government expenditures must be announced in a list, and any member of the council has the right to request an audit." Wang Jian said: "How about it, it's strange, right? And the excess part was originally  There was no such expenditure in last year's budget for Gao Yuan's inspection. Gao Yuan's inspection was temporarily decided because of our visit. "Isn't it over?"  Xiao didn't put it in his own pocket or eat a lot of it in his own belly!" Huang Xiao said.  "Here's the problem. Some council members, especially Tian Yuanyuan, said in front of Gao Yuan that there should be no expenditures without a budget. The king's trip will cost a lot and will definitely affect the operation of the Dayan County government next year.  It brought a big dilemma, how do you think it was solved in the end? " Huang Xiao really found it a bit unbelievable. Could it be that the shore of Sui Tu was Wang Tu? Gao Yuan came to Dayan County. The officials of Dayan County should be excited.  , why did Gao Yuanlai spend their money?  "Finally, Gao Yuan promised that the expenses this time will be covered by?Private payment is the solution.  "Wang Jian stared at Huang Xiao and said. Huang Xiao's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't turn around in his mind. "Personal payment by the King of Han?  The entire Han Dynasty belongs to him, and he pays it, but in the end it is not the treasury that pays it. Isn¡¯t this putting money from the left hand into the right hand?  "    "otherwise!  "Wang Jian took out a piece of newspapers from a pile of specially selected newspapers in the room. "Look at the anecdote in this newspaper. It was about Gao Yuan asking his finance minister for his salary.  To no avail, he got angry and chased him, but he didn't get hit yet.  " Huang Xiao read it at a glance and couldn't laugh or cry: "This, this is really a big joke.  " "This is no joke!  Wang Jian sighed and said: "Gao Yuan is indeed a sage king that I have never seen before. Therefore, if Gao Yuan exists, our Great Qin will never be able to turn around. Now you understand why I say that we must endure hardships in one generation or even in one generation."  Will generations of people work hard to become stronger?  " "Maybe this is just a show by Gao Yuan.  Huang Xiao thought for a while and said: "Perhaps Tian Yuanyuan will be unlucky if he turns around. He was not clean in the first place, and now he dares to slander the King of Han. Even if Gao Yuan is a holy king, he will not feel dissatisfied, but he is afraid  There are also people below who will help King Han deal with him.  " "You are wrong again.  Wang Jian sighed: "Gao Yuan also specially introduced Tian Yuan to me."  Claiming that he is the most popular candidate for the next Dayan County Sheriff, do you know how the next Dayan County Sheriff is selected?  They are elected by the members of Dayan County, and those members are elected by all the people of Dayan County with one vote. All men and women are over the age of sixteen.  You have the right to one vote.  " "Is this how you choose the chief of a county?  So what are the rights of King Gao Yuan?  How else can he control these local officials?  Huang Xiao said with a change of expression. "The central government cannot effectively control local officials. Isn't this the beginning of trouble?"  " "I don't understand either, but at least now it seems that Dahan doesn't have this problem. I also asked Gao Yuan that this kind of election of county magistrates is still being piloted.  The whole big man.  In the first batch, no more than ten counties adopted this method, and they were all the old foundations and base areas from when Gaoyuan started.  Other places are still appointed by the central government.  But I think Gao Yuan's intention is to gradually push it aside. We have been in Dayan County for so long, and you should have heard that their chief minister this term was also elected by the senior councillors!  "    "heard.  Yan Shenghao and Wu Qi fought, and in the end Yan Shenghao narrowly won.  " "I wonder if Gao Yuan wants to implement the policy of pretending to be a king in ancient times, but what good will this do to him?  Is it possible that a founding monarch like him would actually be willing to be ignored by his subordinates and become a lofty wood carving and clay sculpture?  "Wang Jian said. "Not necessarily. At least the military power is still in his hands.  " "Yes, this is the only right that Gao Yuan still holds in his hands.  Everything else is under the control of his political affairs hall.  However, the political affairs hall has emerged from the election of the Grand Council.  Forget it, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore.  There are too many things that we don¡¯t understand about Da Han. After we go back, let¡¯s study it slowly. How was your discussion?  " "They give us everything. According to the procurement catalog given to us by the King of Han Dynasty, the director of the military industry promised to meet the supply, but the price is a bit high.  This first batch of purchases alone, according to their original valuation, was as high as five million yuan, which is five million taels of silver.  Where can we get it?  Huang Xiao said distressedly. "So many?"  Wang Jian was startled, "How many things do you want?"  " "I calculated it based on the outfit change of 50,000 people.  "Huang Xiaodao: "General, if we set up an elite army of about 20,000 and a standing army of about 30,000, this is the lowest figure. I have not included the rest that you mentioned were purchased by the manor owners themselves.  " "In the past few years, we have worked so hard that we have only accumulated three million taels in the warehouse. The black-clothed food invasion, consumption and post-war pensions, one million taels have been gone.  Where are we going to find that kind of money?  Can I owe part of it first?  "Wang Jian said. "Gao Quan told me that if you don't have money, you can borrow money from their central bank. But when the interest was calculated, I was shocked again. I was originally prepared to pay one million taels in advance, and the rest was  The four million and two cents paid annually can be calculated according to their interest. According to our financial income, I am afraid that we will never be able to pay it back. If we can, we will still buy weapons from them. Many of these weapons are consumed.  Good thing, if it weren't for the imminent invasion of the big food in black, I would really want to walk away.  " "Isn't there another compromise?  Wang Jian kept shaking his head: "For example, lowering the interest rate?"  " "That Gao Quan said, this is already the lowest interest rate.  General, there is really no other way. After we go back, we can only think of ways to increase taxes. Let¡¯s increase taxes. As long as we repel the black-clad predators and beat them to pain and fear, we won¡¯t need this in the future.So many weapons.  You can always relax.  "Huang Xiao sighed. "If there is no other way, this is the only way.  "The only way Wang Jian could think of was this. There was a knock on the door outside, and a guard came in and reported to Wang Jian: "General, there is a businessman outside, claiming to be Shunfeng.  The people traveling with carriages and horses wanted to see the general.  " "A businessman?  When the general had time to see him, he sent him away.  "Huang Xiaozheng was not angry. When he heard that a businessman came to visit, he immediately became angry. "Wait a minute!  Wang Jian stopped him and said, "Huang Xiao, my coming to Dayan County is a secret. Not many people know about it. How can a businessman know about it? Don't you think it's strange?"  I'm afraid this businessman is not simple. Let him come in and I'll see him.  "(To be continued.)
