Chapter 1538 Killing Chickens and Monkeys
Chu Huan didn't have long in Dai'er's house, heard a cat bark outside, knew that Gongsun Chu was coming, and went out at the moment, and went straight to the side hall, Gongsun Chu was already waiting, seeing Chu Huan coming in, he hurriedly got up, Chu Huan beckoned him to sit down, someone had already served tea, after Chu Huan sat down, he smiled and said: "Lord Gongsun, call you over so late to disturb the rest, don't be surprised." ”
Gongsun Chu hurriedly said: "My lord is coming to me so late, there must be something important." I didn't sleep at first, Chu Du had already ordered the grain to be rented, and the grain rental in the prefectures and counties of Yuezhou had also begun, but there were still a lot of things to be explained, don't wait to go to Beishan, the things here have not been explained clearly. ”
"That's why I'm looking for you." Chu Huan smiled: "You don't have to rush, things have to be done well, and your body must be taken care of." ”
"Thank you Chu Du for thinking about it." Gongsun Chu arched his hand and said: "These are these two kinds of seeds in the ground, so that the lower officials can feel at ease." In recent years, Xiguan is afraid, many people starve to death every year, although this year's grain can barely make do, but to survive until the autumn harvest, it is inevitable that people will starve to death in the middle, if the grain is not planted, the people of Xiguan will really not survive. Originally, Zhu Lingyue attacked our Xiguan, and the lower officials were worried that the war would be too protracted, delaying the cultivation, and there would be endless troubles at that time, but fortunately, Chu Huan quickly solved the previous matter, and the lower officials naturally could not slack off on the important task at hand. In the next few days, the lower officials will formulate detailed regulations and carefully explain the specific matters, so as not to make other mistakes after the lower officials leave. ”
Chu Huan nodded and smiled: "I just went to King Qi's side tonight, and on the way back, I sent someone to find you, and I have already talked to King Qi about the Governor of Beishan." ”
Gongsun Chu asked, "Then when will the lower official leave?" ”
In Gongsun Chu's view, although Chu Huan is still nominally the governor of Xiguan Province, but whether it is Beishan or Tianshan, there is no opponent who can match Chu Huan, Chu Huan will of course further control the other two provinces, so as to grasp the entire northwest in his hands, Wei Wuji went to Tianshan, and took away a lot of officials to go to the post, in terms of the army, Fang Rushui's Jinzhou Army and Chang Huan's Northwest Army have been stationed in Tianshan, which has proved that Chu Huan is to rectify Tianshan and master the military and political power of Tianshan, and the next step is naturally Beishan, sending himself there, just like sending Wei Wuji to the Tianshan Mountains, is to control the northwest.
Since Chu Huan has decided to let himself go to Beishan and look at the northwest, Chu Huan's words now are really true, so it is almost a sure thing that he will go to Beishan to serve as the governor.
Although some words are inconvenient to say clearly, Gongsun Chu understands in his heart that Chu Huan went to report to the King of Qi, but he was afraid that it was just a formality, after all, the King of Qi was the prince of Great Qin, Chu Huan was still a courtier of Qin in name, and the appointment of the governor of Beishan informed the King of Qi, firstly, Chu Huan expressed his respect for the King of Qi, and secondly, it was also to make it more justifiable for him to go to Beishan as the governor.
Wei Wuji went to Tianshan, Chu Huan was in Hezhou City at that time, but he just sent someone to send an excerpt, and the King of Qi agreed without saying a word, and Chu Huan's reward after the war, the King of Qi also agreed, so Gongsun Chu naturally did not doubt that there would be any resistance to going to Beishan to take up the post.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go for a while." Chu Huan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Lord Gongsun, you handle the affairs of renting grain here first." ”
Gongsun Chu is such a shrewd person, Chu Huan's words, of course he heard that there was something wrong, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice: "Chu Du, is it ...... King Qi does not approve of the lower officials going to Beishan, there is another candidate? ”
Chu Huan looked calm and said with a smile: "Guess who it is?" ”
Gongsun Chu thought for a moment and said, "The most likely is naturally Lu Haosheng, but Lu Haosheng has been an official in the capital, and the lower officials have also talked to him twice...... Oh, by the way, Chu Du, I almost forgot to report to you, before you came back, the king of Qi summoned many officials from Hezhou to go to his mansion to attend the banquet, and there were two times in total, saying that it was to get rid of Luo Dingxi to celebrate the merits, and the lower officials and others discussed it, and it was not good to make the king of Qi look too ugly, so he also went to the banquet. ”
"I already knew by this point that there was nothing wrong with it." Chu Huan nodded with a smile.
"So during the banquet, Xia Guan had a conversation with Lu Haosheng, this person is talented, and he is quite scheming, but he is just ...... The lower officials felt that he was very inexperienced in governing the local area. Gongsun Chu's expression was grim, "If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, there is nothing wrong with the Jingguan going down to the local area to slowly experience, but now is the extraordinary time, although Beishan Xiao Huanzhang has died, but Beishan itself is not peaceful, all kinds of forces are intertwined, if it cannot be straightened out and reconciled in time, I am afraid that it will cause a big chaos...... ”
Chu Huan smiled: "Do you think Lu Haosheng can't govern Beishan well?" ”
"This ......!" Gongsun Chu hesitated for a moment before he arched his hand and said: "Governor Chu, it's not that the lower officials are talking about right and wrong behind their backs, it is the lower officials sent by the Governor of Chu, and the lower officials are also worried. The talent of the lower officials may not be as good as Lu Haosheng, but he is familiar with the customs and folklore of the northwest, and he also has some friendship with some officials and gentry in Beishan Province, but Lu Haosheng has no local experience, he is afraid that he will miss the major affairs of Chu Governor, and it will disturb the restlessness of Beishan. ”
"In my opinion, Lu Haosheng may read a few more books than you, but when it comes to the ability to benefit the people, he is far inferior to you." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Since he is going, the governor will let him give it a try, some people don't know how to turn back if they don't hit the south wall." However, you also have a preparation here, ready to rush to Beishan at any time, just during this time you can not only take care of the matter of borrowing grain and subletting, but also before going to Beishan, think about what to do when you get to Beishan, with preparation, it will be much easier to do things at that time, at this time in a hurry, it is not too good. ”
Gongsun Chu was obedient and listened to the sound, understood what Chu Huan meant, and said with a smile: "The lower official receives the order." He looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Chu Du, the lower officials have a matter, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
"Lord Gongsun, in front of the Governor, you can speak freely." Chu Huan picked up the teacup and said, "Drink tea first, I called you over so late, there is no good wine and good food, this cup of tea always has to be eaten." ”
Gongsun Chu picked up the teacup, lit up at Chu Huan, expressed his respect, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Governor Chu, the King of Qi sent Lu Haosheng to Beishan, this is what Lu Haosheng said in the ears of the King of Qi, is it the intention of the King of Qi to send him there, or the King of Qi himself?" ”
Chu Huan sighed: "Gongsun, to say something disrespectful, King Qi is still a child, he grew up in the palace when he was a child, and he was protected too well by the queen, even if a tiger is locked in a cage all day long, it will become very docile, so he has a pure temperament and does not understand the sinister hearts of people." Although he has matured a lot after this setback, after all, a person's heart is not tempered in a short period of time. The child has taken the wrong path, and we must always let him understand what is right and what is wrong, but we can't force him to know the truth, only let him see some things clearly and let him understand himself. Lu Hao was born to this person, saying that he has no talent, that is also talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he still has some ability, but he is ......! He frowned and didn't continue.
Gongsun Chu sighed: "If this person is just loyal to the King of Qi, then it is better to say, if he is hiding another dissent, Chu Du, you can tolerate him, but I am afraid that others will not be able to tolerate him." Now what the northwest wants is peace, if anyone makes trouble in the northwest, it is the great enemy of the northwest, you want to let the people live a good life, but some people want to do the opposite, and the lower officials say a word of conscience, and their hearts are not happy. ”
"You're right." Chu Huan said: "Let's find a way to make the prince understand that the people in the northwest want to be stable, Lu Haosheng, after all, the prince still trusts him very much, they have lived and died together, the prince followed so many officials around him at the beginning, and in the end he was the only one who accompanied him, the prince is also a person who talks about righteousness, so he is naturally different from Lu Haosheng, since Lu Haosheng doesn't know that the south wall is ahead, let's let him follow his wishes, let him bump into it, know that it hurts, I just hope that he can understand and settle down." ”
Gongsun Chu nodded and said, "Governor Chu is hardworking, I just hope that King Qi and Lu Haosheng can understand it." Suddenly thought of something, and said: "Chu Du, I happened to be here tonight, and I still want to report to Chu Du." ”
"What?"
"It's the trading ground outside Yanmen Pass." Gongsun Chu said with a smile: "As soon as the war stops, the trade field will naturally be prosperous, as far as the lower officials know, from the Xiliang side, many people have come to the trade field, recently many businessmen have received the signature from the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, according to the meaning of Chu Du, the merchants who came to apply for the customs clearance sign have been reviewed, of course, with the seven surnames of Xiguan first...... It's just that not long ago, a group of gentry had an incident because of the matter of borrowing grain and subletting, and signed their names on a document, and this document Chu Governor handed over to the lower officials, and the lower officials also followed the meaning of the Chu Governor, but all the gentry and merchants with names on the documents, the lower officials would not borrow a grain from them, but the lower officials did not release ...... to them when they signed the customs! ”
Chu Huan said: "Yes, that's how it is done." ”
"It's just that in recent days, those people have taken the initiative to come over, claiming that they can borrow more grain, and if other gentry lend fifty percent of their harvest to the official warehouse, they are willing to lend seventy percent, just hoping that Chu Du can be accommodating, so that they can also apply for customs clearance signatures." Gongsun Chu smiled faintly: "These people were selfish and refused to borrow grain, but now they know the benefits of borrowing grain, and they regret it in their hearts. ”
Chu Huan picked up the teacup and asked, "Gongsun, what do you think should be done about this?" Forgive them and give them a pass signature? ”
Gongsun Chu shook his head and said solemnly: "Chu Du, there are no rules, not to mention that Chu Du looked at them in public and signed his name, he would not lend them food, nor would he release them with customs documents, many people know about this matter, if they are forgiven, they are only afraid of ......!" ”
Chu Huan smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the prestige of this governor will be damaged?" ”
"Yes!"
Chu Huan's expression became cold, and he said lightly: "According to what I said before, let alone borrowing two percent more, the person who signed the document is bankrupt and donated all his assets, and he can't get a single customs signature." There are hundreds of gentry in Xiguan, almost all of whom have borrowed grain, but these dozens of households want to go against the governor, do they really think that the government is so easy to offend? By the way, the governor still remembers that the leader is called Xing Long, and even if you sue them, the family that signed the paperwork, as long as the governor is on this son for a day, they will die and get out of the customs. Even if they say that it is good for the Governor to announce personal vendetta or suppress them, they can also open up and say that the Governor wants to suppress them, let them know that if the Governor wants to do something, who will jump out, and weigh the consequences ......! ”
Gongsun Chu got up and said with a smile: "The lower official receives the order, Chu Governor, this killing of chickens and monkeys will definitely deter many people, and in the future, those gentry will not dare to oppose Chu Du's decree." ”
"Just let them understand a truth, and cooperate with the government, they may enjoy the benefits given by the government." Chu Huan sighed: "Many people still don't understand a truth, they are willing to give up, since they are not reluctant, how can they get it?" You're right, killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, and when a few chickens jump out, they always have to slaughter a few of them with a knife. ”——
