Chapter 759: A dilemma

Although this move is vicious, it is also a bad strategy, because no one wants to die in the net. But Lin Luoyao also had all the preparations this time, that is, Murong Zheng.

Now the rumors that are going out are that Lou Yun is acting on orders. and the money for the grain is not his own. It doesn't hurt at all to spend it.

Since it was an order, whose order was it? Naturally, it was Murong Zheng's, Lin Luoyao had not been idle in the past few days, except for settling accounts, she had already let out the news, this time Lou Yun was ordered by Murong Zheng to come here to raise food.

In this way, no matter what happens, the responsibility is Murong Zheng's, the credit is his, and the disaster is naturally his.

This time, even if the credit goes to Murong Zheng, it doesn't matter, Lin Luoyao can "kill all the businessmen", so that Murong Zheng has a lot of mortal enemies in the business world, and they all say that money can make ghosts grind, this sentence is not wrong at all.

These people can do such a big business, and it is impossible without a little power and connections behind them. Perhaps the shares of the court officials were included in the trading of these grain merchants, and their inability to continue trading naturally affected the interests of those officials.

Lou Yun is now just a white man who doesn't even have a reputation, even if he has some power and connections in the rivers and lakes, but in the court, none of those adults are in his eyes.

In their eyes, Murong Zheng, who was favored by the emperor, was a big trouble, and this time Lin Luoyao used Murong Zheng's name to cut off their way to money, so what kind of mood and expressions would the adults in the court who took these benefits have?

So what kind of position will Murong Zheng be in?

Now the initiative is completely in Lin Luoyao's hands, no matter whether she advances or retreats, she is undefeated. Murong Zheng is inexplicably and has many enemies.

Originally, although Lin Luoyao didn't have a good impression of Murong Zheng, she couldn't say that she was hostile, but she just had a different position.

Murong Zheng is a stumbling block on Lou Yun's path, and this stone cannot be a stepping stone. Such useless nature should be removed.

Second, because of Lan Qi's incident, Lin Luoyao had seen Lan Qi's wrist, and there was a long scar on her wrist, if Lan Fang hadn't found it in time, she would have died a long time ago.

If he still felt a little guilty about Lan Qi, Lin Luoyao wouldn't hate him so much, and what was even more disgusting was the look in his eyes when he looked at Qiu Yuling.

Although he is a man worthy of Qiu Yuling, Lin Luoyao just doesn't like him.

The most important point is that Murong Zheng can always be one step ahead of her, this is the case with the last Star Tower, and the same is true for the disaster relief in Zhongzhou this time. She didn't want to fall behind him.

Murong Zheng was reviewing the official documents in the palace, mainly because of the matter of the river embankment this time, saving the money for disaster relief, and the pressure on consolidating the river embankment was really reduced a lot.

According to his calculations, this time the silver could barely plug the gap in the Yellow River.

In fact, if it is just sand and gravel, the silver allocated by the household department is completely sufficient. But there will be a discount in this money. Murong Zheng calculated the amount after the discount.

The discount is the silver allocated from the household, and the deduction of each layer. The second is the greed of the officials below. Although the amount of money allocated is huge, only five or six out of ten can really be used to save the people in his hands.

The upper levels need to be sent to prepare some silver, and if the lower levels don't give them some benefits, who will do their best to run an errand for you?

What Murong Zheng is afraid of is that the group of people below are not greedy, if they are not greedy, they will not be used by me. Now that they are greedy, Murong Zheng has their handle in his hands, which is like the silk thread that pulls the puppet, the nose ring on the nose of the bull. If they don't have that, how can they be obedient?

Murong Zheng also has a deep consideration for this matter, because this Qin is not as good as usual, this Zhongzhou disaster relief seems to be just a small thing that will happen every year, but the involvement in this is too big, there are many things involved, it is simply a matter that affects the whole body.

When Murong Zheng came this time, he was walking on thin ice.

He is now in a dilemma, and the slightest mistake will lead to a losing game.

No matter what stage the embankment of the Yellow River is, why floods occur every year, there is no need to ask this question, almost all the officials of the imperial court know it, and the emperor naturally knows it.

Because this embankment cannot be repaired, if it is really to be repaired, then what reason do local officials have to ask the court for silver?

And if there has been no big water for decades, and the officials have not had a little bit of political achievements, how can they be promoted to the knighthood?

This time in the flood, although there will be a large number of officials who will be clicked, there will be a large number of officials who will be promoted.

At least the officials who assisted Murong Zheng in disaster relief this time would add a sum to the audit of the ministry.

If there is no disaster, then these officials will have no meaning of existence, so how can they ask the court for money if they don't create some disasters, and add officials to the knighthood for disaster relief?

Murong Zheng is now thinking about this question, what kind of embankment should be built. If he really cultivates as solid, then he will make enemies again.

Moreover, another point of his visit this time is to form his own group of officials, and the party has been fighting since ancient times.

Even if he is excellent in martial arts and resourceful, he is also difficult to support alone.

If you want to consolidate your position, you can only have your own power, and then you can stand up to those people in the court.

If those officials are in the same boat as themselves, then they will naturally be obedient, otherwise they will fall and they will be unlucky.

Murong Zheng doesn't like this kind of thing like party strife, but there is no way to do it, if he doesn't have his own power, then after the emperor's death, he is likely to be liquidated by the new emperor.

Now a person in a high position like him, once he is liquidated, it will at least be a big crime for the three clans. Whether it was for his father, for his sister, or for the rest of the Murong family, he couldn't lose, he had to form a force that could protect him.

Moreover, now that the clouds are gathering in the DPRK and China, everyone in the DPRK and China is in danger, and those princes in the opposition are also ready to move. Among them, the largest is the prince's party composed of King Ning and King Wu, in addition, the emperor's three heirs also have a dispute for succession.

The crown prince, the king of Zhao, and the king of Han, these three people are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they naturally will not let go of Murong Zheng, a favored minister.
