PS: Thanks to book friend Dadongjing for his reward.

The prefect He Shuiqing was so angry that she was furious.

He shouted excitedly: "Catch, and take all the rioters who wantonly spread rumors and go to prison."

"It is easy to catch people, but arresting people in the city at this time will only make the situation in the city more chaotic and not conducive to defending the city." The judge on the side showed worries.

The Tongzhi Ran Yuncheng, who was next to him, said in a voice: "Even if you want to arrest people, you have to wait until you get out of the thieves outside the city. What you need to do now is to let more people in the city guard the city."

Several other officials in Luoyang City nodded aside and agreed with the words of the two.

"Then what do you think?" The prefect He Shuiqing had to suppress his anger when he saw that neither of his subordinates supported him to arrest him.

Tongzhi Ran Yuncheng said: "We should find a way to let more young and strong people guard the city."

"The official agreed with Ran Tongzhi's proposal." Tongzong nodded and agreed.

He Shuiqing, the prefect who heard this, rolled his eyes and said coldly: "You just said that the people in the city were bewitched by rumors. How do you guarantee that the people are going to guard the city instead of opening the city gate and letting the thieves enter the city."

"This, there are always some people in the city who don't believe in rumors." Tongzhi Ran Yuncheng said hesitantly.

Seeing this, He Shuiqing slapped the table with his palms and said with a ugly face: "What do you use to distinguish between the bewitched people and the unbewitched people? Do you still have to distinguish them one by one?

Outside, there is a large army of thieves, and the other party may attack the city at any time. Even if you want to tell who is loyal and treacherous, will the thieves give you this time?"

The officials present lowered their heads and endured his anger.

"Tell you that once the thief enters the city, the people in the city may be fine, but I and you may not have any good endings." The prefect He Shuiqing warned the officials in front of him in person.

He grabbed the cover bowl next to him, took a sip of the tea inside, and pressed down his dry throat.

"Secret, I have a way." Luoyang County Magistrate looked at the prefect He Shuiqing nervously.

The prefect He Shuiqing looked at him and said, "What are you doing?"

"Use it, use it and smash it with silver. The officials don't believe that anyone will dislike it." Luoyang County Magistrate said with a stuttering stutter.

Upon hearing this, the prefect He Shuiqing frowned.

"The Xiaguan thinks that Luoyang County Magistrate is right. Since he can't tell which people are bewitched by the thieves, he will give them money. As long as the people who are willing to defend the city, they will all give money." said Tongzhi Ran Yuncheng.

The magistrate next to him said: "The solution is a good idea, but there is no such a lot of money. Unless you don't give the money first, you will get rid of the thieves outside the city and then give the people who guard the city."

"In the end, it is not enough to give the money. The people may not believe in the government. The money must be given first, or paid during the process of defending the city." Tongzhi Ran Yuncheng knew that the government had long lost much credibility in the hearts of the people. It was difficult to make the people look forward to painting cakes to fill their hunger.

believe.

The prefect He Shuiqing said, "Give silver to the people, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city also have to give silver. Where does the money come from when doing this? Do you pay or your official?"

As he said that, his eyes swept across the people in front of him.

However, he was greeted by his colleagues who lowered their heads.

"Can you get a little out of the government office?" asked the judge.

However, before the prefect spoke, he saw the Tongzhi Ran Yuncheng on the side said, "The government office can't afford such a large amount of expenses at all, it's too much."

"Then there is nothing to do." The judge looked disappointed.

Luoyang City is the Luoyang City of the Ming Dynasty. As a Ming official who was an official in Luoyang, he naturally would not spend his own money in order to protect Luoyang City.

If you want to spend money, the Ministry of Revenue will spend the money, or the Zhu family will pay the money by themselves. Anyway, as officials, it is impossible for them to pay the money.

"Yes, there is a way!" Luoyang County Magistrate said carefully.

All the eyes of the people around him looked at him.

The prefect He Shuiqing asked, "What else do you have?"

"The subordinates have a way to get the money, no, but you need the prefect to come forward." The magistrate of Luoyang County said nervously.

He Shuiqing raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "What's the matter with me here? Do you want me to use my own money to defend the city?"

"No, no, no, the subordinates have no intention of this." The Luoyang County Magistrate was so scared that he stood up from the seat and waved his hand to deny it.

The prefect He Shuiqing snorted coldly and said, "I don't know if you dare."

The Luoyang County Magistrate, who was standing in front of the seat, smiled awkwardly.

At this time, the Tongzhi Ran Yuncheng said to He Shuiqing: "It's better to listen to him finish his words first."

"If there is any bad idea, I will definitely not let it go." The prefect He Shuiqing glared at the Luoyang magistrate and picked up the cover bowl on the table again.

The magistrate of Luoyang raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then said carefully: "The government and county governments cannot afford to protect the city, but someone in Luoyang can take out the silver, and this person will take the silver to guard the city.

The city is something that should be divided.”

"Are you talking about the big families in the city? They are willing to pay the money to defend the city? This money is not a small amount." The prefect He Shuiqing said with a frown.

The wealthy families in Luoyang City are indeed very wealthy, but behind such families, there are close relationships with the officialdom. Such local officials are unwilling to provoke such local big families.

As the prefect, he was not optimistic about asking these big families to take out money and grain to support the city.

The magistrate of Luoyang County shook his head and said, "What Xiaguan is talking about is not the wealthy families in Luoyang City. What Xiaguan wants to talk about is His Highness, the King of Fu in the Palace of Fu."

"Yes, why didn't I expect this Your Highness?" Tongzhi Ran Yuncheng slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "This King of Fu is the uncle of the current emperor. The country of the Ming Dynasty is also their family, so he should pay this money.

”

"Yes, His Highness Fu should pay the money."

"Let His Highness Fu pay the money."

"If His Highness, King Fu, took out the money to defend the city, he would definitely be able to defend Luoyang City."

Several officials in the seat spoke one after another.

The richest person in Luoyang City is not the officials or the big families in the city, but the Fu King who was very favored by the Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty.

Although King Fu failed to inherit the great treasure, he was much richer than Emperor Ming Guangzong who inherited the throne.

The prefect He Shuiqing, who was sitting in the main seat, was not as happy as others.

He frowned and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, should be somewhat familiar with this. It's right to be rich, but this Highness is also stingy, and I'm afraid he may not have used this money to support the city guarding."

"If it were something else, this highness might not be willing to pay the money, but this time it was different. Once the Luoyang city was broken, the rebels would not care whether he was a vassal king, whether he used the money to buy peace, or whether he lost both money and life.

The official thought that His Highness, King Fu, would make a wise choice." said Tongzhi Ran Yuncheng.
