The new book of the burning prairie star

Chapter 261 I wish Mr. Yang good luck

"Jiang Sheng, Yu Tianrui, Lu Xi, the three of you quickly go to the pawnshop to buy some more skilled warriors. I'm going to the Ministry of Revenue now." As soon as Yang Biao walked out of the palace, he instructed his subordinates who were waiting there.

He only brought thirty people with him to Beijing this time, including some recruits for Xia Weiwei. To be precise, he now has only six guards around him.

Except for Jiang Sheng, all the people he brought from Qianpu Mansion were left in Yangjia Village to protect his women and children, so he urgently needed manpower to protect their safety on the way to office.

"Master?" Jiang Sheng couldn't help but smile when he saw the five-colored imperial edicts in his hands. Was he promoted?

"Alas, we have to go back to the north again." Seeing him staring at the imperial edict in his hand with a smile on his face, Yang Biao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Not to mention other prefectures, the bandit problem in Guangshu Prefecture alone was enough to give him a headache. His orders would certainly be disobeyed by other prefects. If no one carried out the orders, how could he, the acting governor of the north, continue to work?

"Ah?" Jiang Sheng thought that Yang Biao's return to Beijing this time, with his political achievements in Qianpu Prefecture, would allow him to become an official in the capital. In this way, he would have the opportunity to find evidence of the Duke of Anguo's guilt and clear the grievances of his relatives.

No one expected that he would only stay in the capital for a short six days before setting off back to the north.

"Don't say that. Go and do your work quickly." He took out a large stack of banknotes from his arms and distributed them to the three people. Then he hurriedly took the remaining three people to the Ministry of Revenue, where he was going to get the governor's official seal, official uniform and appointment documents.

Although he was only acting as governor temporarily, in order to maintain the continuity and formality of official documents, the court required him to use the governor's official seal.

The purpose of the court doing this was to ensure that the legality and validity of official documents were recognized during the official's term of office.

"Sir Yang, congratulations!" The Minister of War Peng Cenyi was afraid that someone under his command who might have the Duke of Anguo's men would deliberately embarrass him, so he personally handled the handover procedures for him.

"Thank you, Lord Peng!" Yang Biao took the official seal, official uniform and appointment documents and expressed his gratitude to him.

"Sir Yang, most officials will first understand the local finances when they take office. After all, money is the foundation of everything."

The economy is one of the foundations supporting political achievements. If the six prefectures want to prosper and develop, they will definitely need financial support.

This time, Emperor Tianqi used the same old trick again and exempted the six prefectures from taxes for five years. Of course, during these five years, the court would not allocate any disaster relief funds to them.

Yang Biao needs to use this tax money to serve the people, improve education, improve people's welfare, and improve the business environment. Only when there are no worries can the six prefectures be fully developed.

Peng Cenyi personally sent him to the door of the Ministry of Revenue and reminded him in a low voice that if the five prefects were not honest, he could check their accounts.

"Thank you, Master Peng, for your advice!" Yes, how could I have forgotten this method? Yang Biao bowed to him gratefully.

"Then I would like to wish Lord Yang good luck!" Seeing him perform such a great ceremony, Peng Cenyi smiled and waved his hand, then turned around and returned to the Ministry of Revenue.

All the civil and military officials believed that Yang Biao was better as the Northern Governor than Xie Xiyao, who was nothing and knew nothing. After all, he was the top three in the imperial examination and was a man of real talent and learning.

"Sister, something bad has happened...sister..." After the court session, Xia Yuxuan immediately rushed to Xia Weiwei's residence and told her that the emperor had appointed Yang Biao as the acting governor of the north.

"Ah?" Xia Weiwei, who was holding her youngest son on her lap, was chatting with Liu. When she heard her eldest brother's words, she stood up in shock.

The position of Governor of the North was not an easy one. Several governors had been replaced before. Those people were demoted because no one executed the orders given, the six prefectures each took care of themselves, and the military, political, and civil affairs were a mess. She was also afraid that Yang Biao would be demoted as a result.

"Hey, this Yang Biao was promoted to the second rank so quickly." Seeing her daughter's sharp eyes sweeping towards her, Liu, who was about to sneer, immediately shut her mouth.

"Brother, where is my husband now?" Xia Yuxuan has returned. Could it be that the emperor still keeps Yang Biao in the palace to chat?

"He should have gone to the Ministry of Revenue to collect his official uniform and seal. The emperor ordered him to leave for the north immediately to take up his post." Xia Yuxuan was in a hurry all the way and felt that his inner clothes were wet and sticking to his body, so he wanted to go home to change his clothes.

"Brother, just take a shower here. I have clothes in your size that you can wear." He twisted his body from time to time, and Xia Weiwei noticed it.

"Okay, sister, what are your plans for this?" She was trained by Xia Zhaofeng. Xia Yuxuan believed that she made an indelible contribution to the fact that Yang Biao, who had no political experience before, was able to gain a foothold in Qianpu Mansion.

"Jinrong, Hongling, pack up quickly, let's go to the city gate to catch up with my son-in-law." Hearing her eldest brother's question, Xia Weiwei smiled. A husband and wife are one, they prosper together and suffer together. Of course, she and Yang Biao would advance and retreat together.

"Oh, my daughter, don't be silly. The bandits in the north are very arrogant. I heard from your father that they killed many local officials."

When Liu heard that she wanted to pursue Yang Biao, she quickly stood up and held her back. She only gave birth to this one daughter and couldn't let the child go to die.

"Mother, don't worry. Your daughter will succeed." Xia Weiwei winked at Xia Yuxuan who was standing beside her. The other party understood and hurried over to stop Liu, allowing her to escape smoothly.

"Yin Xin, Mo Luoxi, go find Shi Rui and the others to bring the two young masters here. We are about to set off." Xia Weiwei held Kang Qiu in her arms, followed by the wet nurse, and walked out of the yard together. They were going to take a carriage at the door.

"Yes, ma'am!" The two of them quickly flew onto the roof to check the current location of the two young masters.

"Miss," Shi Rui and Xia Yi, each holding a child in their arms, landed beside her car, and then Yin and Mo also flew over.

"Mom, are we leaving again?" The two little guys saw the carriage and knew that they were going out again, so they rushed towards her happily.

"Yes, get in the car quickly, let's go find daddy." No matter what, even if there are tigers in front of us in the north and jackals behind us, she will follow him without hesitation.

"Husband," Yang Biao deliberately dawdled on the road for a long time because he was waiting for Jiang Sheng and others to buy people over. When he met up with others and rode to the city gate, he saw Xia Weiwei waiting there.

"Madam, why are you here?" Yang Biao was a little surprised to see her at the city gate. Before, when he was riding on the horse, he had been thinking about what he should do to successfully implement the government orders to the five prefectures. Qianpu Prefecture was originally under his jurisdiction, so naturally he didn't have to worry.

"Congratulations, Lord Yang, you've been promoted again!" Xia Weiwei got out of the car, knelt down and saluted to him with a smile.

"Hey, how come even your wife is teasing you?" Yang Biao got off the horse, helped her up with both hands, and pulled her aside to allow the vehicles behind to pass.

"Madam, have you had lunch?" Seeing her shaking her head, Yang Biao took a roast chicken from the horse's back and handed it to her. Then he took her hand, asked her to sit in the car, and waved his hand for the team to set off.

"Father, Yang Biao has already led his men out of the city gate. When are we going to take action?" Xie Xiyao became inexplicably excited at the thought that he could take his place.
