Chapter 732: The Troubled City (8)

Li Zhihe began to seriously consider countermeasures, it was not that he didn't want to pull Su Jin into the water, but who was Su Jin? Will pulling him into the water bring disaster to himself and others? These are all worth considering. The things in Weizhou City, once pierced, are a mortal crime, and the gods and goddesses can't keep the head on their necks.

Since the imperial court decided to implement Fan Zhongyan's policy last year and moved all the residents outside the city into the fortified walls of the city, grain has become the most precious thing in Weizhou City; The grain road was far away, and sometimes it would be congested due to the nuisance of thieves in the west, and the supply was greatly insufficient.

Xu Wei didn't dare to make the decision alone, so he quietly discussed with Li Zhihe, Li Zhihe originally reprimanded Xu Wei for being bold, but Xu Wei's remarks moved him.

"Li Jianjun, according to the current situation, there are more than 100,000 people in the city, so a little food is still not enough to eat, and sooner or later people will starve to death, if according to Lord Fan's order, starving the people to death is also a crime, then our officials on Jingyuan Road will be convicted sooner or later; In that case, why fill such a bottomless pit with precious grain? It's better to leave the military rations, and let's find a way to exchange the remaining grain for some useful ones, and if we have money in hand in the future, it doesn't matter if he loses his official position or is demoted, he still doesn't live a good life? ”

Li Zhihe's heart was moved, for him, among the three things of money, power, and color, he couldn't touch the color himself, because he was cut off eggs and entered the palace as a waiter since he was a child.

The way of power is now also worrisome, and Fan Zhongyan's order is also very clear: 'All the people in the city, the local officials must be guaranteed to live with food, not in the form of money, but only in exchange for hard labor, if there are improper measures to starve the people in the city, at least they will be degraded, or at worst dismissed, and handed over to the department to be handed over.' ’

Fan Zhongyan has always done what he says, and now the imperial court has adopted his policy, it is when he is popular, and he will do what he says at this time, so with this order as a premise, it is also an overnight time to be convicted, and the existing rights will also be lost with the starvation of the people in Weizhou City.

Since the 'power and sex' can't be touched, the only thing left is to make money, with money, even if you are punished in the future, you can still live a beautiful life, provided that all this is not noticed.

After some calculation, Li Zhihe ordered Xu Wei to categorically refuse and reprimand those who wanted to buy food at a high price, not because they changed their minds, but because it was too dangerous to do so, and the person who bought food would be a time bomb in the future, which would detonate at any time and tear Xu Wei out, and Xu Wei couldn't run away if he was pulled out, so even if he wanted to do it, he had to do it secretly.

Li Zhihe thought about it all night, and finally came up with a more secretive method.

The first is to stop the labor of the people, Xicheng was originally building the city wall and corner tower, which are all fortifications that must be built to resist the enemy, since they don't want the people to consume food, then they can only stop building, so it is reasonable to say, for the government to work naturally have food, no work to do without food is a logical thing.

Then it is to send capable and reliable subordinates to transport the grain other than military rations out of the treasury and hide it, and then quietly set up a black market to sell the grain from the black market, so that the government can pretend not to know, if someone reports it, they will fake it to confiscate, and the copied grain will be sent back to the black market for sale, which will not only calm the people's anger but also not bear the reputation of inaction, but the black market has been repeatedly opened and repeatedly banned, and the government has limited energy and cannot raid the black market around the clock.

In the end, in the name of the Weizhou government, several porridge sheds were set up to provide a meal of gruel every day, so that the people could get the relief that the government was trying their best to help, instead of sitting back and watching the people starve to death.

These three can be said to be deliberate, if it weren't for the discerning people who don't know the inside story here, Xu Wei and Li Zhihe are worthy of being resourceful, but this resourcefulness is not used in ideas, but in making the country difficult to make money.

For the sake of more safety, Xu Wei did not hesitate to wear a green hat, Wang Yan, this old guy is as timid as a mouse, he will never participate in it, in order to pull him into the water, Xu Wei took a lot of effort; One day, he invited Wang Yan to come to his house to drink, and he put some acacia in Wang Yan's wine glass, and when the medicine was attacking, he let his concubine go up and tease, and finally hooked the old guy into a trap; When Wang Yan was feasting on a large piece, Xu Wei led people to show up and rape, and almost hanged Wang Yan in shame, and finally had to admit that he was unlucky.

Xu Wei felt that it was not safe, so he sent a lot of stolen money to Wang Yan, and forced Wang Yan to make a receipt, so that Wang Yan was completely unable to move, and since then he has turned a blind eye, and handed over the affairs of Weizhou to Xu Wei in the name of inspecting the defense of Jingyuan Road, and he took advantage of the imperial court to quickly slip away and leave this place of right and wrong, Xu Wei and others are not afraid that Wang Yan will poke things out.

The more difficult thing to do is Ge Huaimin, this guy is a martial artist, with a very hot temper, although he is also greedy for money and lustful, but it is counterproductive to deal with him by dealing with Wang Yan, this person is likely to shout all over the world.

However, Li Zhihe has a way, he knows Ge Huaimin's weakness, in a battle a few days ago, Ge Huaimin did not listen to Wang Yanjun's order and led to defeat and returned, only Li Zhihe was present at the time, Li Zhihe covered up this sin for Ge Huaimin, only said that his subordinates did not do their best, resulting in General Ge's order not being implemented, Ge Huaimin is naturally grateful to Li Zhihe.

So Li Zhihe took advantage of Ge Huaimin's gratitude, deliberately sighed and sorrowfully all day long, when Ge Huaimin asked, Li Zhihe said that he had done something wrong, and he was afraid that he would be dismissed and questioned; Ge Huaimin really took the bait, patted his chest and shouted slogans for Li Zhihe to say it, and he tried to find a way to solve it, but as soon as Li Zhihe said it, Ge Huaimin was dumbfounded; However, in order to repay his kindness, this bastard promised to keep it secret for Li Zhihe, and after coming and going, he finally couldn't withstand Li Zhihe's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and he was also pulled into the water.

At this point, the four officials in charge of the city were all in the middle of the city, and the great matter was settled, and there were no more scruples, and the grain that was supposed to be for the relief of the people turned into thousands of coins and flowed into the pockets of the people; As for the other petty officials, it is naturally easier to pull them into the water, until the important people have the benefits of different sizes, and their mouths are all blocked.

Li Zhihe was a little sweaty in retrospect, the current situation is really vague and difficult to do, this Su Jin seems to be hinting at joining the gang intentionally or unintentionally, but he has always had an indescribable defensive psychology towards him.

This person is Yan Sansi's niece and son-in-law, and if he is designed to kill him, it will cause even greater trouble, if it is said that killing him is the safest way to kill him before he knows Su Jin's background, now it seems that pulling him into the water is the best way, not to mention that this guy looks ready to jump into the water voluntarily at any time; As long as Li Zhihe opened his mouth, Guan Bao would agree with a dazzling smile.

But the more this is the case, the more cautious Li Zhihe becomes, he wants to test Su Jin's true thoughts again, and then make a decision, once he finds out that Su Jin really knows a lot, and he is not sincere in joining the gang, then he can only take the risk of killing him, and then talk about it later.

"Master Su, how about taking a step to speak?" Li Zhihe finally spoke in a hoarse voice.

Su Jin was overjoyed, he finally had eyebrows, Li Zhihe wanted to talk to him alone, which was a signal that he was ready to accept himself.

Su Jin arched his hand and said: "Dare not obey your fate." ”

Li Zhihe turned around and went downstairs and came to a private room on the fourth floor of the Moon Picking Building, Su Jin stepped into the box and closed the door smoothly.

The two sat down opposite each other, Li Zhihe looked at Su Jin for a long time, and said slowly: "Master Su, since you are Yan Sansi's niece and son-in-law, how can you say anything today that is for the sake of being an official or making money?" Wouldn't it embarrass Yan Sansi if it was passed out? ”

Su Jin shook his head and said, "He's embarrassed? I'm embarrassed. ”

Li Zhihe said: "How do you say this? ”

Su Jin probed out and looked left and right, looking like a ghost, and only after retracting his head did he whisper: "Li Jianjun, this is a private conversation between the two of us, I don't want others to know what we are talking about." ”

Li Zhihe frowned and said: "Don't worry, our mouth is the strictest, just listen to it, if a third party knows, you are the only one who asks." ”

Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll say it directly, why do you love money so much?" It was forced by Yan Sansi. ”

Li Zhihe shook his head and smiled: "This is so unreasonable, how could Yan Sansi let you become an official in order to make money." ”

Su Jin pointed to the sky and said, "Don't believe it, do you know how I hooked up with Miss Yan?" ”

Li Zhihe was funny in his heart, as soon as the word hookup came out, it showed that this champion Lang was a parallel import, and eighty percent of it was Yan Shu who made a contribution to it.

"When I visited Bianshui on March 3 this year, I wandered by the Bianshui River and accidentally met Miss Yan, I didn't know that she was Yan Sansi's niece at that time.

Li Zhihe frowned and said: "It must be your golden skin that helps, and this Miss Yan is really visionless, and she will be like glue with you." ”

I only heard Su Jin continue: "Later, I learned that this Miss Yan is Yan Sansi's niece, you say I should let go at this time?" Or should you hold on tightly? ”

Li Zhihe thought for a while and said, "I can't guess, I'm not a roundworm in your stomach." ”

Su Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Then you are a little ...... That stupid, I married Miss Yan, obviously I chose the latter. ”

Li Zhihe was embarrassed, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid, isn't this an obvious thing?

"Originally, the day when someone like me would come out was far away, how could I let go of this good opportunity?" Su Jin laughed.

Li Zhihe scratched his head and asked, "I take the liberty of asking, who is Master Su's son?" What kind of official did the ancestors do? ”

Su Jinha smiled and said, "Official? None of my family has been an official in eight lifetimes. ”

Li Zhihe Wen said: "That's okay, most heroes are reckless, even if the family of ordinary people is innocent, it doesn't matter." ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "I am the son of a businessman, and my family has opened a small business in Luzhou City, selling some miscellaneous things. ”

Li Zhihe was speechless for a moment, and the people were just gone, but he was still a businessman who was not even as good as ordinary people, so he couldn't help but ask: "Then how can Yan Sansi agree to you to associate with Miss Yan?" ”

Su Jin said: "Yes, I'm also very sad about this matter, but I quickly figured it out, what if Yan Sansi doesn't agree?" I forced him to agree. ”

Li Zhihe was stunned and said, "How could you persecute Yan Sansi?" ”

Su Jin lowered his voice and leaned into Li Zhihe's ear and said, "You really want to know?" ”

Li Zhihe pretended to be indifferent and said, "If it is inconvenient for Master Su to say, just give up." ”

Su Jin chuckled and said: "It's not inconvenient, just say that it's okay to listen to you, who told us to hit it off at first sight?" My solution is ......"

Li Zhihe pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"That's it...... Chop first and then play, raw rice is cooked and matured, which makes Miss Yan's belly bigger......"

Li Zhihe was dizzy for a while, and quickly held on to the table to stabilize his body, and took a few breaths before he eased up.
