Chapter Seventy-Four: This Is Becoming an Official?

The biggest advantage of coming to the Ming world is that you don't have to spend a lot of energy to make others understand the reasonableness of what you do.

Including the same for Hong Chengchou, an official.

When the famine is severe, it is the greatest merit to be able to keep people alive, and as for hurting personal self-esteem and other things, you can completely ignore it.

As long as the core goal is right, don't worry too much about the rest.

Even if he knew that the Yun family would buy these children to get profits from these children in the future, Hong Chengchou had nothing to say.

After all, one has to survive before he can take care of anything else.

"You only see the people outside the city selling their children to survive, why don't you ask the people in the city how to survive?"

"That's the business of you officials, what does it have to do with me, a small citizen?"

Hong Chengchou cleared his throat and said: "Your Yun's grain store was originally the second largest grain store in Xi'an City, and it was an important place for the people of Xi'an to buy and sell grain. However, since August last year, Yun's grain store has never sold a pound of grain to the outside world.

Little boar, what do you say? ”

Yun Zhao spread his fat hands and said: "In August, the price of grain has climbed to three taels and seven cents of silver for a load of grain, and the Yun family does not dare to hoard Juqi, so they simply sell the grain in the grain store at a low price, change it to cooking cakes and mutton soup, and buy and sell the seasonings." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the tall stone wall in front of him and said, "You have also seen that at this time, the Yun clan does not seek to make money, but only to protect itself." ”

Hong Chengchou raised his head to look at the tall stone wall of the Yun Clan, and then sighed and said: "Self-protection, self-protection, everyone is in danger, everyone is self-protecting!" ”

Yun Zhao sneered: "Eunuch Huang was beaten to death by the people, and his body was hung on the Danfeng Gate, isn't this also self-preservation?" “

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "The power of the people is a double-edged sword, you squires can use it, but the officials can't use it?" ”

Yun Zhao said disdainfully: "Anyway, the people of Shaanxi have been given up by the imperial court, so you can play any way, right?" ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "Who dares to say the word give up easily?" It's just a last resort.

It's cold, so why don't you invite me into your house for a cup of tea? ”

Yun Zhao had no choice but to invite Hong Chengchou to sit at home.

Hong Chengchou came this time, he was very bold, at least, it was very rare for a Ming official who dared to go out of the city with four entourages in Guanzhong.

The mother is a female dependent, and it is not easy to see officials, so only the housekeeper Yun Fu stood behind Yun Zhao with his hands down to send this high-ranking official.

"Let's be straight, the purpose of a certain family going out of the city this time is to raise food."

Hong Chengchou made his purpose very clear.

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "I guessed, whoever has food in his hand now has the right to speak." ”

"When will your Yun's grain store be able to open to sell grain? As long as the price of a load of grain is not higher than four taels or five yuan, the government does not care. ”

"No matter what kind of food?"

"No matter what, even if it's rice bran!"

Yun Zhao sighed, looked at the snow-capped Jade Mountain outside the window and whispered, "June, this is the Yun family's greatest sincerity to the adult. ”

Hong Chengchou leaned his body weakly on the back of the chair, and also looked at Yushan outside the window and said, "Your Yun clan is the only one who gives this official an exact time to sell grain...... However, the people of the city may not be able to wait for the summer grain harvest in June. ”

"The Yun clan doesn't have grain, this should be clearly told to you."

"But you're not short of food, are you?"

"Yes, this year, the Yun clan gave up the autumn grain rent!"

"Hiding the wealth from the people?"

"One season of autumn grain can't enrich anyone, but it just leaves enough rations for the villagers to survive this year.

Nowadays, for the sake of food, people's eyes are red, have you heard about the crescent mountain? ”

Hong Chengchou leaned sideways towards Yun Zhao, looked at Yun Zhao with interesting eyes, and said, "How much have you heard." ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "It was the Yun Clan who organized people to do it!" ”

Hong Chengchou smiled and arched his hand: "The squire organized a group to practice and suppress bandits, which is admirable!" ”

Yun Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "When you enter the Yun family Zhuangzi, you should have seen a new grave at the foot of Bald Mountain, where nineteen human lives are buried......

"The bandits on Crescent Mountain are also gone."

"At the same time, there are also a lot of grain ...... that have been wiped out."

Hong Chengchou took a sip of tea lightly, tapped his fingers on the tabletop and said, "I've been to see Crescent Mountain, and the fire hasn't been extinguished yet."

Since your Yun clan is the dominant county in Lantian County, and you are the grain chief of the county, I only ask your family for food. ”

"This is a matter for the county magistrate, it has nothing to do with my Yun family, the Yun family's summer grain and autumn tax this year have been fully paid, and the adults can't get an inch."

"The Lantian county order has been beheaded by a certain family to show the public, and there is no county order at present!"

"Even so, there are county officials, chief bookkeepers, and wardens who also can't take the turn of the Yun family."

"The county of Lantian County has died of old age, the main book is missing, the warden was killed by the swordsman, and the huge Lantian County Yamen has become useless."

"In that case, Shangguan will send officials down again, I heard that the eyes of the alternate officials are green."

Hong Chengchou smiled slightly, took another sip of tea, and tasted a piece of Yun's special pastry in his spare time, and nodded again and again: "The tea is clear, and it has the style of a gentleman, but the taste of this pastry is a thousand times, this is a method that only exists in the south, and it smells of wind and dust."

Pig, you don't raise a 'Yangzhou thin horse' at a young age, right? ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "Do you think I can be a county magistrate?" ”

Hong Chengchou looked up to the sky and laughed: "Why not, the eight-year-old county order will not leave the road of local governance unforgotten, and the night will not be closed, and it will be a beautiful conversation if the soldiers are well fed, why not?"

Did you know that a certain family was promoted? ”

Yun Zhao shook his head.

"A certain family is now a political envoy of Shaanxi! You Yun family hairpin for generations, Erzu for the Ming Dynasty to fight in the east and west, made great achievements, now, your Yun family has a wonderful birth, only eight years old has a good way to treat Guanzhong!

A certain family as a political envoy was overjoyed, deliberately found the scholar Sun Chenglin, in the name of Xi'an Mansion Xuezheng to promote you as the supervisor of Nanjing Guozi, to be older to enter the Taixue study, now, you in the name of the supervisor of Lantian County magistrate, clear and smooth!

What do you think? ”

Yun Zhao looked at Hong Chengchou depressedly and said: "If the road is not forgotten, it is just a matter of not closing the door at night, what is the reason that the soldiers are good enough to eat?"

Also, where did I get the cure for Guanzhong? ”

Hong Chengchou ate the dim sum slowly, and said leisurely: "As far as your family's strength in attacking Crescent Mountain to grab grain, it is not a problem to pacify Lantian County, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the soldiers are good enough for food."

As for the cure for erosion in Guanzhong, as long as you get Lantian County right, a certain family will naturally help you come up with some good prescriptions for governing the country, you don't have to worry about this, your gentleman can always teach you to be rich and rich, and he will naturally be a generation of heroes when he grows up.

Now, there is chaos in Guanzhong, no matter who it is, as long as the place can be pacified and the place can be kept stable, a certain family will dare to be an official for him. ”

"Can this be?" Yun Zhao's eyes bulged out when he heard this.

Judging by his experience as a civil servant, the country surrendered to the robbers, recruiting peace?

How is this possible!!

The bandits drilled deep into the mountains and old forests, and they had to mobilize all the people, and with strong armed forces, they had to find out every grass on the mountain.

The final fate of the bandits is either tied to a hospital bed and injected with poison, or they are beaten with a gun and their bodies are messed up, where can there be such a beautiful thing!

However, thinking about the fact that Hong Chengchou has recruited countless bandits in history, he doesn't think there is anything incomprehensible about this matter.

After all, compared to those thieves, the Yun clan is still a peaceful squire with perfect history on the surface.

"How much food shall I give you?" Yun Zhao asked in horror.

"Five hundred stone of grain, this is not a certain family blackmailing you, donating a prisoner is this price, if you don't believe it, ask your teacher."

Yun Zhao continued to look at Hong Chengchou sluggishly and was silent, but Hong Chengchou seemed very leisurely at this time, and he didn't even worry about eating and drinking at all, Yun Zhao refused to agree to his conditions.

Sure enough, without much effort, Qian Duoduo came in and saluted Hong Chengchou sideways: "Lord Qiqi, my wife has prepared the five hundred stone grain needed by the adult, although the wheat was not prepared in a hurry, but the millet and sorghum are only thirty percent!" ”

Hong Chengchou took out a handkerchief to wipe the dim sum foam at the corner of his mouth, pointed at Qian Duoduo and said to Yun Zhao: "Good 'Yangzhou Thin Horse', you are a visionary." ”

After going out to check the grain, Hong Chengchou left the letter of appointment of the magistrate of Lantian County, the main seal of the lobby of Lantian County, the proclamation of the supervisor of Nanjing Guozi, and three blank documents, which should be the documents of the county magistrate, the main book, and the warden.

Then, he told Yun Zhao in the tone of the official that he would come to Lantian County to inspect after the spring sowing, and that this year's spring sowing could not be delayed, and no fertile land was allowed to be abandoned.

Five hundred stone grain was loaded with sixty carts, and Yunhu was excitedly escorted to Chang'an.

Until now, Yun Zhao's head was still confused, and he couldn't accept the rapid change in his transformation from a robber to an official......
