    Yiju is located in a border town. The city is not big and is very well guarded. As soon as you enter the city, you can see piles of stone sleepers, cans of kerosene and bundles of arrows. These are all prepared for war.  In terms of materials, the people patrolling the streets were not just the yamen servants of the prefecture's yamen, but more of the officers and soldiers of the guard station holding swords. At a glance, it seemed that the military administration of this city was quite chaotic.

    But it can be regarded as a unique scenery in the border town. After all, the border of the Ming Dynasty is not peaceful. The enemies they have to face are not only the Tatars who attack the city with open swords and guns, but also those who sneak into the border towns of the Ming Dynasty to create chaos and spread an atmosphere of terror.  The Tatars worked carefully, and I am afraid that these matters cannot be handled by the yamen servants of the prefecture yamen alone.

    On the way into the city to go to Guanyi, Qin Kan and Liu Pinggui exchanged a few polite words.

    Liu Pinggui was originally from Henan. He was a second-class Jinshi in the 13th year of Hongzhi. After working as an editor in the Hanlin Academy for several years, he was sent to a border town as an official. From this alone, we know that Liu Pinggui was probably too straight-forward. As we all know, the Ming Dynasty  The local officials in the county are all the most comfortable yamen, but the local officials in the border towns have very little salary, and they must always be on guard against enemies. Being an official like this can be said to be like wearing your head in your belt, which is worse than the bandit mountain king.  The risk factor is not much smaller.

    Unless you have offended a big shot in the officialdom, anyone who knows a little bit about current affairs will not be sent to a border town. Being a parent official is worse than spending time in the Hanlin Academy.

    Along the way after entering the city, Qian Xian was not far behind Qin Kan. Hearing Qin Kan and Liu Pinggui exchanging greetings, Qian Xian smiled but did not interrupt. Qin Kan was keenly aware of the undercurrent surging in the harmonious atmosphere.  The officialdom of Yizhou was quite unstable.

    The city of Yizhou was too small and there was no dedicated official post. The official post was arranged in the prefect's Yamen. Surrounded by officials, Qin Kan walked into the Yamen, but saw that the Yamen was also quite dilapidated. It had obviously not been repaired for many years.  The yard was empty, with no pavilions or pavilions. There were two sycamore trees planted in the middle, and a unique small garden, but nothing else.

    Qin Kan was invited into the middle of the inner hall, and all the officials took their seats according to their rank.

    The atmosphere was warm and strange. Liu Pinggui's attitude towards Qin Kan could not be said to be flattering, nor could he be said to be cold. It was a purely official conversation, and the etiquette was very thoughtful, making it impossible to fault. Qian Xian was also very polite and spoke less. Qin Kan  When he talked about some anecdotes about the capital, he just laughed along with him. Occasionally he wanted to interrupt but was interrupted by Liu Pinggui. Liu Pinggui seemed to be waiting there to interrupt Qian Xian. After some pleasantries, Qian Xian even  He didn't even say a complete sentence, and as Qian Xian was interrupted again and again, Qian Xian's smile became more and more forced and colder.

    Qin Kan became more and more certain that the officialdom in Yizhou was not peaceful. There were irreconcilable conflicts between Liu Pinggui and Qian Xian. He did not even suspect that the two had broken up and were just pretending to be friendly in front of him, the imperial envoy.

    This is a good sign. Qin Kan's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate a little, and a bold plan gradually took shape in his mind.

    It¡¯s been a long time since I took the initiative to trick someone

    Not counting the time when he cheated Liu Jin when he left the capital, it was Liu Jin who took the initiative to cheat on him, and it was just a courtesy.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of Qian Xian's face.

    Qin Kan coughed twice and said with a smile: "Yizhou is located on the east side of Liaodong Bay, with the Great Wall to the north and the Bohai Sea to the west. It is a place with outstanding people. I can tell you something by looking at your faces"

    Liu Pinggui cupped his hands and smiled and said: "What your Excellency said is true. Yizhou Prefecture is an ancient city in western Liaoning. It has been a county since the Yan and Qin Dynasties. It was established as a county during the Han Dynasty and the prefecture was established in this dynasty. It lasted more than two thousand years. It is known as 'Western Liaoning'."  The name "Gu Dao" has always been a battleground for military strategists"

    Qin Kan smiled and said: "Military strategists must compete Haha, well, did Governor Liu exaggerate? The so-called military strategists must compete only depends on the situation at that time. For example, during the time of Yan and Qin, the world was divided, and every state and every prefecture could do it.  It is said that military strategists must fight for it. Taizu of this dynasty was wise and wise, creating a huge territory for the unification of the Han people. Although Yizhou is close to the frontier of Duoyan, it can be regarded as the rear after all. There are Guangning rear guards in the north and Laoha in the west.  Hewei, there are Shenyang Zhongwei Tielingwei in the east, and Jinzhouwei in the south. Yizhou is protected by these guards. If you say that military strategists must fight, it is true haha."

    Qin Kan stopped talking mid-sentence. However, everyone present was an old man in the officialdom. After Qin Kan said what he said, everyone's expressions became condensed and their bodies couldn't help but lean forward slightly.

    The words of the Imperial Envoy are unusual!

    Liu Pinggui's eyes suddenly became solemn and he cupped his hands and said: "I wonder what the imperial envoy said? I have been waiting in the border town for a long time and I don't know the situation in the DPRK. But what does the DPRK have to say about our Yizhou? I hope the imperial envoy can speak frankly.  Report, I would be very grateful to you."

      The officials also hurriedly extended their hands to invite each other, looking a little anxious.

    Qin Kan smiled and said: "I only heard rumors before I left the capital, but I can't do anything about what I heard. Haha, I'd better not say it, lest some officials get involved in my own nonsense.  Although the crime is not serious, it doesn¡¯t sound good when spoken out.¡±

    Liu Pinggui and other officials were anxious, so they invited each other several times and promised not to spread the news. Qin Kan hesitated and said: "Let me make it clear first, this is what I heard and it is not my intention. In the end, you must not  Blame it on me As you know, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Liu Jin and Liu Eunuch took charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Eunuch Liu was old and wanted to do something big, so he put forward some ideas to several bachelors in the cabinet.  Well, it can be called the 'Liu's New Deal', one of which is to eliminate a large number of our Ming Dynasty's redundant generals, redundant troops and waste"

    Having said this, the conductor Qian Xian¡¯s eyelids suddenly twitched.

    Officials pay attention to every word they speak. This imperial envoy talked about abolishing redundant generals and redundant soldiers, but did not mention "redundant officials." Does it mean that the new policy of Mr. Liu, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, must first attack the military guard station?

    Under Qian Xian's eager gaze, Qin Kan said slowly: "I just said that Yizhou is not a battleground for military strategists. Of course, I meant what I said. In fact, my evaluation of Yizhou is not mine.  ¡­¡±

    Several officials said at the same time: "Eunuch Liu said that, right?"

    Qin Kan smiled and said: "Of course, so what Eunuch Liu means is to abolish a number of redundant guard posts that can be left alone or have no great strategic significance, and use all the military expenditures saved to replenish new ordnance and the most needed military equipment."  In the frontiers, such as Xuanfu, Datong, Ningxia Wei, etc., the generals and military households who were abolished will naturally remove their armor and return to the countryside, and the imperial court will no longer pay them"

    After saying that, Qin Kan suddenly turned to look at Qian Xian, his eyes full of sympathy. It was obvious that the meaning contained in it was you are superfluous.  (To be continued.
