Li Xun first walked around the city to see the people's livelihood here. Like other prefectures and counties, you could still see the shadows left by the war everywhere. Xiayuan County was greatly damaged in the Second Longyou War. After Tubo occupied this place, he killed a lot, almost razed the entire city to the ground.

Seeing many new houses, Li Xun smiled and said, "Who built these newly built houses? The court did not allocate money, and the prefectures and counties also had no money. Could it be that they were built by the people themselves?"

Xia Yuan glanced at Li Xun strangely and said, "Master, have you forgotten? You once issued an order that the people can build their own houses. After the construction is completed, the ownership belongs to them. The government will not charge any additional fees."

The order you gave yourself?

Li Xun was stunned for a moment, but had no impression. After thinking for a while, he remembered that this suggestion was proposed by Fan Zhongyun. Li Xun had too many things to deal with at that time and had no energy to deal with them, so he let Fan Zhongyun take care of it and just sign and order it himself.

Li Xun smiled, pointed to the new houses and said, "Do people here think of the benefits?"

Li Xun felt that he had done a good thing. You should know that the city is not as good as outside the city. Without the government's approval, you cannot build a private building. If you want to build a house, you can buy land first. After the construction is completed, you have to pay a considerable tax. Li Xun is exempted from all these things.

"The command from the Grand Marshal is naturally excellent to the people, but..."

Xia Yuan glanced at Li Xun and was a little hesitant.

Li Xun frowned: "Speak just by saying something."

Xia Yuan nodded and continued, "Ganzhou is the main gathering place for the people of the Western Regions and the Dashi people in addition to Wuzhou. There are more than 100,000 people in this state, and only 30% of the Han people are foreigners who believe in Tianlan. Because these people believe in common religion and live in foreign countries, they are very united. After the commander of the great commander, the foreigners in Ganzhou are very enthusiastic about this policy. Under the call of religious leaders, the rich contribute money and strong efforts, and the broken Xiayuan City was quickly rebuilt. However, the Xiayuan County Magistrate issued an order recently, allowing only foreigners to build houses in the south of the city, and not allowing shops and business. The Han people have no restrictions."

As the two of them talked, they walked to the door of a restaurant. Xia Yuan said to Li Xun: "Master, you probably haven't eaten yet. The wine in this restaurant is very good."

The origin of wine was in the Dashi Empire and was later introduced to the Western Regions. In the past two years, it has slowly flowed into the western part of Longyou. This wine is very fresh for the Han people. Wine is very cheap in Dashi and is not expensive in the Western Regions. However, it was relatively expensive when it was introduced to Longyou. Because it didn't have much inflow and was very expensive, few merchants sold it. There were not many people who could drink it. However, wine was already quite popular in Wu'an City, and Li Xun would occasionally drink some.

The restaurant has two floors, business on the first floor and accommodation on the second floor.

After Li Xun went in, he looked around and saw that the business was very good. More than a dozen tables were almost full.

When the restaurant owner saw more than ten people coming in, they were dressed well, and they were all Han people. The Han people were always generous, and the restaurant owner immediately had a smile on his face. For him, this was a big business.

Li Xun and others included all the last three tables.

"Select whatever you want to eat yourself, I'll treat you."

When Li Xun said this, he finally found a sentence: "You can drink some wine, don't have more."

Hearing this, everyone was very happy. They went out with Li Xun these days because they wanted to ensure the safety of the Grand Marshal, but they could not drink alcohol. Now Li Xun ordered some alcohol to drink, and everyone was very happy.

Li Xun, Chen De and Jiang Daxiong sat at a table. Xia Yuan felt that his position was too low and he was not worthy of sitting at a table with Li Xun. He was about to sit at the table next to him and had dinner with the soldiers. Li Xun waved to him: "Sit here, let's talk."

Xia Yuan sat over. At this time, the restaurant owner walked closer and asked with a smile: "What do you guys want to eat?"

Li Xun said: "I heard you have wine here?"

The boss nodded and said, "I do have wine to sell here, but the price is a bit expensive. I need to explain this to the customer in advance."

Li Xun smiled and glanced at Chen De. The latter understood and took out a piece of nearly four taels of broken gold from his arms.

The ratio of gold and silver is one for ten, but in fact, gold is much more expensive than silver. Generally, one tael of gold can be exchanged for thirteen or fourteen taels of silver. Although wine is expensive, it is only one pound of silver. Of course, such a price is nothing to Li Xun, but it is indeed very expensive for ordinary people. It can be said to be expensive. You should know that a little bit of wine is only ten cents per pound.

"You can take care of us enough food and drink, but you can talk about it if you don't have enough money."

The boss took the broken gold and was extremely happy. He nodded repeatedly: "Enough, enough, you can wait, I will have someone bring you the best wine and vegetables in our store."

This piece of gold is worth at least fifty taels of silver, and they are only twelve of them, and the money is only a lot more or less.

Li Xun's magnanimity, on the table opposite, a person with his back to him, looked back repeatedly, Li Xun noticed him, smiled and nodded, and the man also smiled, saying hello.

Li Xun then asked Xia Yuan: "Xia Yuan, how does Xia Yuan County Magistrate treat the people here?"

This time, Li Xun came out and wanted to take advantage of the trip and have a deeper understanding of the people's livelihood situation in various places. Although many people have inquired about this information for him, seeing it is true. Since there is a chance, Li Xun naturally has to take a look with his own eyes.

Xia Yuan thought for a while and replied: "Xiayuan County Magistrate is called Zhou Xiansen. After the western part of Longyou was recovered, he was transferred to Xiayuan County as the county magistrate. He has been serving as a county magistrate for three or four years. This person is very corrupt as an official. My impression of him is that he only collects money but does not do anything. He is a corrupt official. When the Tubo army arrives, Zhou Xiansen is the first to escape..."
