Chapter 146: Support every plan!
When interviewing Qiu Kai, Lin Ze found that Qiu Kai was very capable and had a wide range of knowledge. He even knew something like farming. Moreover, he was not a scholar with a proud heart and high self-esteem. In general, Qiu Kai was a scholar with real talents.
Therefore, Lin Ze directly handed over the affairs of the Hundred Houses Office to Qiu Kai for temporary responsibility, and also handed over the literati he recruited to Qiu Kai for arrangements.
Lin Ze did this to try out the quality of Qiu Kai and see how Qiu Kai can achieve.
As a result, Lin Ze got a big surprise.
Qiu Kai handled everything perfectly. Every literati hired by Lin Ze was arranged in a suitable position by Qiu Kai. What Lin Ze valued even more was that every literati was very convinced by Qiu Kai and there was no such thing as not being dissatisfied with Qiu Kai.
Qiu Kai did this not by relying on the rights he gave him, but by using his true skills to intimidate these literati.
After arranging the relevant work of all the literati, Qiu Kai began to handle daily affairs in Huangsha Town.
The result is obvious that all the affairs in Huangsha Town were handled perfectly by Qiu Kai.
Whether it is criminal, public security, commercial taxation in the town, related official transactions, or logistics supply arrangements in Tianqian City, Qiu Kai arranged in an orderly manner, allowing Lin Ze to completely escape from the chores of Huangsha Town.
Qiu Kai was excellent in this test paper produced by Lin Ze.
With a good helper like Qiu Kai, Lin Ze became the manager of the hand. A few days ago, Lin Ze handed over the full responsibility of the hundred-household office to Qiu Kai for handling, and only those important matters could be handled by himself.
Lin Ze doesn’t have to worry that Qiu Kai will put himself in a pretext. As mentioned earlier, in the mainland of China, martial arts is the most respected, and with Lin Ze’s powerful force, Qiu Kai dared not have any bad intentions at all.
As for the refugees outside the town, Lin Ze gave them to Wang Ming to deal with them, and Wang Ming did not disappoint Lin Ze's expectations for him. He also managed the refugees outside the town in an orderly manner.
"Sir, some messages appeared in the town. These messages were all for you. Judging from the content of these rumors, the people who spread these rumors were extremely vicious." Qiu Kai said with a worried look on his face.
When Qiu Kai just joined Lin Ze, he never expected that Lin Ze would be so bold and directly handed over the affairs of Huangsha Town to him. This surprised Qiu Kai. At the same time, a feeling of "You treat me like a national hero, I will repay him with a national hero."
Therefore, in addition to handling the affairs of Huangsha Town, Qiu Kai also firmly monitors every move on Huangsha Town. Qiu Kai will soon know if there are any movements on Huangsha Town.
Look, it hasn't been long since the rumors about Wu Youning and Xu Dongxing spread in Huangsha Town, and Qiu Kai quickly found out here.
As soon as he heard these rumors, Qiu Kai immediately understood that this was targeting Lin Ze. Moreover, the person who spread these rumors was extremely vicious and wanted to kill Lin Ze. Therefore, Qiu Kai immediately reported the news to Lin Ze.
"Oh, the rumors against me." Lin Ze was a little surprised. Lin Ze knew the power of the rumors very well.
For example, a few days ago, a beautiful woman kindly helped an old man who fell to the ground because of rumors, and was ridiculed that she wanted to be "famous". Fortunately, there was a video in the end to make the beauty innocent.
Lin Ze knew that such sarcasm would appear because there were too many similar things before, so everyone took it for granted, but there was definitely a rumor spreading here.
"Qiu Kai, what kind of rumors are? You can actually tell the people who spread these rumors to be extremely vicious." Lin Ze asked curiously. He wanted to hear the specific content of these rumors.
"Sir, there are people in the town that there will be rumors that a large number of refugees will arrive in the future, and the food price will rise sharply by then. Moreover, there are rumors that you only care about the lives and death of refugees, regardless of the lives and death of the people in the town, and will deliberately attract those refugees to Huangsha Town, which will lead to a crazy increase in grain prices. You are actually a disaster for Huangsha Town.
Now many people in the town believe these rumors. Some people have already purchased food in the grain store. Moreover, the most hateful thing is that there are several grain stores in the town. Taking this opportunity, the price has actually increased. Sir, we have to pay attention to this matter." Qiu Kai said to Lin Ze with an anxious look on his face.
"Haha, I'm really not afraid of death!" Lin Ze's anger began to grow. He now understood why Qiu Kai just said that the person who spread this rumor was extremely vicious. Now Lin Ze has the same idea in his heart.
Once the people in the town really believe these rumors, as more and more refugees arrive, the conflict between the people in the town and refugees will become stronger and stronger. At that time, something Lin Ze does not want to see will definitely happen.
Yes, it was considered that a fight had occurred, and Lin Ze could easily suppress it, but this means that Lin Ze was dereliction of duty. Once this matter was exposed, it would be a problem whether Lin Ze could still sit in the position of the hundred households.
"Qiu Kai, do you have any suggestions?" Lin Ze asked, and he had no choice at the moment.
Rumors have spread now, and it is impossible for Lin Ze to order another ban. Therefore, we can only see if Qiu Kai has any idea.
Qiu Kai did not let Lin Ze down, he had indeed figured out a solution to this rumor.
Qiu Kai said: "Sir, it is actually very simple to solve this problem. As long as there is sufficient food, the rumors in the town will be self-defeating. Moreover, we can take advantage of the opportunity to teach those unscrupulous grain merchants a severe lesson. However, the problem now is that we are indeed short of food."
Qiu Kai felt helpless. After learning the rumors spread in the town, Qiu Kai immediately thought of a solution and even thought of a specific solution. However, now Qiu Kai is a good wife and can't cook without rice!
If you don’t have food in your hands, no matter how good the plan is, you can’t implement it.
"Who said we don't have food in our hands?" Lin Ze said with a smile. He was glad that he had already hidden 5,000 tons of food in the Half Moon Valley before. Isn't it just right now?
"Sir, do we have food?" Qiu Kai's eyes lit up.
"Well, we still have 5,000 tons of grain on our hands." Lin Ze nodded.
"Five..., 5,000 tons! That's not ten million kilograms of grain, this..., this..., this is really unexpected!" Qiu Kai looked at Lin Ze with disbelief. He could not have imagined that Lin Ze still had 5,000 tons of grain in his hand.
(I have corrected some errors in the data in Chapter 123, I have corrected them, I'm sorry!)
"Sir, is this true?" Qiu Kai asked again, and he still couldn't believe it. After all, this was 5,000 tons of grain, not 5,000 kilograms of grain.
"Really, it's true that these foods are now hidden in Half Moon Valley." Lin Ze explained.
"Sir, why haven't you brought it back yet? Banyue Valley is not a safe place, it's too unsafe." Qiu Kai said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Haha, don't I want to take the opportunity to calm down the hearts of those refugees..." Then Lin Ze explained to Qiu Kai why he had not transported the food back so far.
Three days ago, Lin Ze had already put the grain in Banyue Valley and asked Lin Fu to get it back to him. Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult to manufacture the Huojiao Niu cart. The Huojiao is too high. In addition, the number of these ox carts requires another 238. Therefore, three days have passed, and there is still no movement in Lin Fu.
In fact, when Lin Fu made more than 30 Huojiao Niu carts, he thought about transporting the grain back in Banyue Valley in batches, but Lin Ze finally asked Lin Fu to wait.
The shocking feeling of more than thirty grain trucks and 238 grain trucks are very different. The former cannot give people much shock, and people forget it when they see it, while the latter, as long as they see it, they will be extremely shocked in their hearts, and this impression will always be engraved in their minds.
Decades later, these people will remember this scene.
Think about it, when all the refugees in the refugee camp see such a large grain team, what will these refugees think in their minds?!
When all the refugees saw such a large fleet of transport vehicles, the originally anxious heart in their hearts would completely calm down.
Of course, Lin Ze would not miss such a good opportunity to calm the people's hearts.
As for why Qiu Kai still doesn't know about 5,000 tons of grain, the reason is very simple.
First, Qiu Kai is responsible for the affairs of Huangsha Town. Lin Fu was mostly dealt with intravenous camps, but now Lin Fu and Wang Ming are dealing with intravenous camps. Lin Ze took out so much food, and the main targets are those refugees, so Lin Ze did not tell Qiu Kai about the food matter.
Second, Qiu Kai has just become Lin Ze's subordinate for a few days, and he has not been with Lin Ze's other subordinates for long, and there is no tacit understanding between the two sides. Therefore, some of the things that Lin Ze's other subordinates are responsible for are lacking communication with each other, and Qiu Kai has no idea. Moreover, Qiu Kai is a newcomer after all, and it is not easy to interfere in Lin Ze's previous affairs.
That's why Qiu Kai didn't know about 5,000 tons of grain.
Of course, it is not too late for Qiu Kai to know about this. After knowing that Lin Ze has so much food in his hands and that others don’t know about this, Qiu Kai instantly made a plan in his mind, a plan that would make the masterminds behind the secretly spread rumors suffer a lot.
"Sir, I just thought of a plan here that can make the masterminds behind the rumors suffer a lot." After saying that, Qiu Kai laughed a few times.
