Chapter 138 Convincing Zhao Xian
Li Yao's position in the army is Army Sima, and his main job is to assist the chief general in training the army.

From this point of view, Li Wenhou trusted and valued Li Yao very much.

Logically speaking, Li Yao doesn't need to be like this, as long as he manages the army well and trains well, he can become a qualified heir.

But Li Yao's mind is full of advanced ideas, it is not suitable to stay in the army, because it is too wasteful.

And of course Li Yao could leave temporarily, after all, he was deeply involved in the establishment of the new army, from military officials to soldiers, whether it was selection, recommendation, appointment or dismissal, he was deeply involved.

This is Li Wenhou's new army, but Li Yao's painstaking efforts are everywhere, and the traces left behind cannot be eliminated by leaving.

In the end, Li Yao still convinced Li Wenhou. Li Wenhou was a warrior, and he was not very interested in anything other than the military, but as long as he clearly explained the benefits that could be seen, he was willing to support him.

It doesn't matter if you say he is generous or he has no opinions, but with his character, if he is surrounded by virtuous ministers and supports him, he may be able to achieve a career. If he is surrounded by treacherous ministers, he will definitely end up dead.

After handing over work with a fake Sima, Li Yao returned to Yunwu together with Zhao Xian. This fake Sima is actually Sima's deputy, and will temporarily replace Li Yao in command of the army.

On the way back to the city, Li Yao also discussed with Zhao Xian how to build the house.

Li Yao first expressed his thoughts:

"Uncle, we should take advantage of this corvée to open some official kilns with bricks and tiles, and then use bricks and tiles to build new houses for the common people, and use new stoves and couch structures in the new houses. We can call it... a kang."

Zhao Xian frowned slightly when he heard the words, looked at his nephew, and directly raised a different opinion:
"Ayao, there is nothing wrong with building a heated kang. If the kind of heated kang you imagined can really help the people survive the cold winter, it will definitely be a great thing..."

"However, it is too extravagant to open brick and tile official kilns and use bricks and tiles to build houses for the people. Ordinary people build houses, basically rammed earth for the walls, and then use thatch as the roof..."

"Furthermore, the establishment of brick and tile official kilns will definitely increase the financial pressure of the county. This is not a policy that can be thought of at the head and then implemented, and the impact of various aspects must also be considered."

In the end, Zhao Xian had already taken on some didactic meaning, because he wanted his nephew to know that governing government affairs is not just talking.

I even felt pity in my heart:

"Although Ayao is smart, he is only from a family of warriors. It is certainly no problem to lead soldiers to fight, but governing government affairs is too superficial!"

Li Yao took a deep look at his uncle. The other party's thinking was limited not only to this era, but also to this golden city. It seemed that he needed to fool around...to inspire his uncle.

Then Li Yao looked sincere, and at the same time his voice became deeper and deeper:

"Uncle, building houses for the people with bricks and tiles is not the ultimate goal, but cultivating a team of craftsmen is the ultimate goal..."

"As long as my father is trained as a new army, Jincheng will be able to settle down in the future. It will not break out of turmoil as often as before. Now the number of people has doubled. We will definitely repair and expand the city in the future. At that time, it will not be more troublesome to recruit folk craftsmen, or to ask local tycoons for craftsmen, and the financial pressure will also increase..."

At this time, Li Yao's words became more and more cryptic, and he said euphemistically:
"Uncle, besides, we only occupied Jincheng now, so it might be possible to occupy Liangzhou in the future. Our father and son are both rough warriors, and we will rely on uncle to govern a state in the future..."

"Not only do we need to open brick and tile official kilns, but we also need to open copper and iron official factories to make armor and weapons. I hope my uncle can help!"

Hearing the front, Zhao Xian already felt that something was wrong, but hearing the back, Zhao Xian's breathing became rapid, and he looked at Li Yao with complicated eyes.

Facing Zhao Xian's gaze, Li Yao looked at him calmly. Now that they have rebelled halfway, don't think that accepting appeasement means submitting to the imperial court, and the imperial court may not be able to tolerate them.

Zhao Xian felt very regretful. After seeing the prefect's seal letter, why didn't he control the desire in his heart.

Can't help secretly crying out:
"I regret that I should have accepted the position of Juncheng..."

But to say it again, the desire in Zhao Xian's heart hit his brain again, he can rule a state, he can rule a state, he can rule a state...

Think about important things three times!

In the end, Zhao Xian was short of breath and his voice was low. He gritted his teeth and said:
"We will build brick and tile official kilns, we will also run copper and iron official factories, build cities and fortresses, and forge weapons and armor..."

Li Yao was refreshed when he heard the words, and then he cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Uncle, you will never regret it in the future!"

After Zhao Xian finished speaking, he gradually calmed down. At this time, he already felt a little regretful.

Immediately, I cried out again in my heart:
"I regret that I should have accepted the position of Juncheng..."

As the two sides agreed, they then discussed various details, that is, how to use this corvee to start an official kiln.

Until they returned to Yunwu, Li Yao and Zhao Xian also left.

Li Yao first went home to visit his mother, but he didn't stay long, and then went to Wubao non-stop, after all, he wanted to start a career.

Zhao Xian returned to the government, summoned all the Cao Caos in the county, and officially announced the new policy:

One is to exempt the relocated people from the taxes they should pay this year;
The second is to levy corvee to build houses. As for the scope of corvee this time, it will be collected from the relocated people.

At the same time, he also warned everyone that the collection of corvee this time is just to build houses for the people, and no one should try to profit from it, otherwise he may not be able to keep it.

Zhao Xian was like a fox to these Caos, and Li Wenhou was the tiger. Now that Zhao Xian was using Li Wenhou's prestige to do things, they certainly didn't dare to disobey them.

They clasped their hands and said sincerely:

"I don't dare to wait, I will definitely cooperate with the county magistrate, report to the magistrate, and make peace with the common people!"

Zhao Xian nodded in satisfaction. This feeling of power in his hands really fascinated people. Then he thought of what Li Yao said, maybe he could rule a state in the future. His heartbeat started to speed up. How beautiful was that time?
Soon after, there were special officials who notified the other county magistrates of Jincheng about these two new policies.

They are required to implement it in place, not to deceive the people, not to make profits from it, otherwise not only be careful that the official hat on their heads will be taken off, but also the human head on their heads will be taken off.

How dare these county magistrates delay, they are all starting to act!
