Li Zhihe began to seriously consider countermeasures. It was not that he did not want to drag Su Jin into the water, but who was Su Jin? Will dragging him into the water bring disaster to himself and others? These are all worthy of careful consideration. Weizhou
Once the things in the city are exposed, it will be a heinous crime, and even the gods will not be able to protect the head on their necks.
Since the imperial court decided to implement Fan Zhongyan's policy last year and move all the residents outside the city into the city to clear the countryside, food has become the most valuable thing in Weizhou City; the food road is far away and sometimes blocked by Western bandits.
Ze, the supply was greatly insufficient. Under this situation, the wealthy families trapped in Weizhou City began to establish connections privately to find Weizhou's general magistrate Xu Wei to buy grain at high prices.
Xu Wei didn't dare to make the decision on his own, so he quietly discussed it with Li Zhihe. Li Zhihe originally scolded Xu Wei for being bold, but Xu Wei's words moved him.
"Li Jianjun, according to the current situation, there are more than 100,000 people in the city. Even a small amount of food is still not enough to eat. Sooner or later, people will starve to death. If according to Lord Fan's order, starving to death is considered a sin, then we on Jingyuan Road
Sooner or later, subordinate officials will be punished; in this case, why fill such a bottomless pit with precious grains? It is better to keep the general grain and find a way to exchange the remaining grain for something useful.
Or should I be demoted and still live a good life?"
Li Zhihe was greatly moved. For him, among the three things of money, power and sex, sex had nothing to do with him, because he had his balls cut off since he was a child and worked as a chamberlain in the palace.
The way to power is also worrying now. Fan Zhongyan's order is also very clear: "For the common people in each city, local officials must guarantee the basic survival of food. They must not sell it in the form of coins, but can only exchange it for labor. If there are measures,
Those who should not cause the people in the city to starve to death should be demoted in the lightest case, or dismissed from office in the most serious case, and handed over to a supervisor.'
Fan Zhongyan has always been true to his word. Now that the court has adopted his policy, it is at the time when he is popular. At this time, he will definitely do what he says. So with this order as a premise, he will be convicted within a short time. Now,
Some rights will also be lost as the people starve to death in Weizhou City.
Since 'power and sex' are no longer involved, the only thing left is to make money. With money, even if you are punished in the future, you can still live a glorious life, provided that no one can detect it.
After some calculations, Li Zhihe ordered Xu Wei to flatly refuse and reprimand those who wanted to buy grain at high prices, not because they had a change of heart, but because it was too dangerous, and those who bought grain would be a time bomb in the future.
It will detonate at any time and pull Xu Wei out. Xu Wei cannot run away even if he is pulled out, so even if he wants to do it, he must do it secretly.
Li Zhihe thought for a whole night and finally came up with a more secretive method.
The first thing is to stop the people's labor. The city walls and turrets were being built in Xicheng. These are all fortifications that must be built to defend against the enemy. Since we don't want the people to consume food, we can only stop the construction. This is justified.
If you work for the government, you will naturally have food to eat. If you don't have any work, you will not be given food. That is a natural thing.
Then they sent capable and reliable subordinates to transport the food except military rations out of the warehouse and hide it, and then quietly set up a black market to sell the food from the black market. In this way, the government could pretend not to know anything, and if anyone reported it, it would be false.
They pretend to conduct inspections, and the seized grains are sent back to the black market for sale. This not only appeases the public's anger but also does not bear the reputation of inaction. However, the black market has been opened repeatedly and banned. The government's energy is limited and it is impossible to inspect the black market around the clock.
.
The last step was to make a difference. In the name of the Weizhou government office, several porridge sheds were set up to provide one meal of porridge every day, so that the people could receive the relief the government was doing their best, instead of just sitting back and watching the people starve to death.
These three points can be said to be well-thought-out. If you are not discerning, you would not know the inside story at all. Xu Wei and Li Zhihe are indeed very resourceful, but this resourcefulness is not used for ideas, but for making money that is difficult to make for the country.
.
For the sake of greater safety, Xu Wei did not hesitate to wear a cuckold. Wang Yan, an old guy who was as timid as a mouse, would never participate in it. In order to lure him into the water, Xu Wei put a lot of thought into it; one day, he invited Wang Yan
When he came to his home to drink, he poured some Hehuan powder into Wang Yan's wine glass, and when the medicine took effect, he asked his concubine to come up and tease him, and finally hooked the old guy into the trap; when Wang Yan was feasting
, Xu Wei led someone to rape him, and Wang Yan was so ashamed that he almost hanged himself, and finally had to admit that he was unlucky.
Xu Wei felt that it was not safe yet, so he sent a lot of stolen money to Wang Yan and forced Wang Yan to write a receipt. As a result, Wang Yan was completely unable to move, and he turned a blind eye from then on.
In the name of inspecting the defense of Jingyuan Road, he handed over all the affairs of Weizhou to Xu Wei. He took advantage of the court's order and fled away from this place of right and wrong. Xu Wei and others were not afraid that Wang Yan would expose the matter.
.
The more difficult thing to deal with is Ge Huaimin. This guy is a martial artist with a very hot temper. Although he is also a greedy and lustful person, it is probably counterproductive to deal with him in the same way as Wang Yan. This person is likely to make the whole world know about it.
.
However, Li Zhihe had a way. He knew Ge Huaimin's weakness. In a recent battle, Ge Huaimin disobeyed Wang Yan's military order and was defeated. At that time, only Li Zhihe was present. Li Zhihe covered up this crime for Ge Huaimin.
It was said that General Ge's orders were not carried out because his subordinates did not try their best. Ge Huaimin was naturally grateful to Li Zhihe.
So Li Zhihe took advantage of Ge Huaimin's gratitude and deliberately sighed and frowned all day long. When Ge Huaimin asked, Li Zhihe said that he had done something wrong and he would be dismissed soon. Ge Huaimin took the bait and shouted
Li Zhihe asked Li Zhihe to speak out the slogan, and he tried to find a way to solve it. When Li Zhihe said it, Ge Huaimin was dumbfounded. However, this bastard actually agreed to keep Li Zhihe's secret in order to repay his kindness. After repeated attempts, he could not withstand Li Zhihe's hardness.
Soaked and pulled into the water.
At this point, the four officials in charge of the city were all in trouble, and the matter was settled. There was no longer any scruples, and the food that was meant to relieve the people turned into tens of thousands of coins and flowed into everyone's pockets. As for the other petty officials, it was naturally easier to pull them off.
, until all the important people got benefits of varying sizes, and their mouths were all blocked.
Li Zhihe was sweating a little when he recalled these things. The current situation was really vague and difficult to deal with. This Su Jin seemed to be hinting at joining the gang intentionally or unintentionally, but he always had an unspeakable defensive mentality towards him.
This person is Yan Sansi’s niece and son-in-law. If he is planned to kill him, it will cause even greater trouble. If killing him was the safest way before knowing Su Jin’s background, now it seems that dragging him into the trap
is the best way, not to mention this guy looks like he is ready to jump into the water voluntarily at any time; as soon as Li Zhihe opens his mouth, I guarantee that he will agree with a smile on his face.
But the more this happened, the more cautious Li Zhihe became. He wanted to test Su Jin's true thoughts before making a decision. Once he found out that Su Jin really knew a lot and was not sincere in joining the gang, he would have no choice but to take the risk and kill him.
He said again that the rest of the matter would be discussed later.
"Master Su, how about I lend you a moment to speak?" Li Zhihe finally spoke hoarsely.
Su Jin was overjoyed, she finally had an idea. Li Zhihe wanted to talk to her alone. This was a sign that she was ready to accept her.
Su Jin cupped his hands and said, "How dare you disobey your orders."
Li Zhihe turned around and went downstairs to a private room on the fourth floor of Zhaiyue Building. Su Jin stepped into the private room and closed the door smoothly.
The two sat across from each other. Li Zhihe looked at Su Jin for a while, and then said slowly: "Master Su, since you are Yan Sansi's niece and son-in-law, how could you say today that being an official is for wealth?
Wouldn't it embarrass Yan Sansi if he spread the news?"
Su Jin shook his head and said, "Is he embarrassed? I'm still embarrassed."
Li Zhihe said: "How do you say this?"
Su Jin put his head out and looked around, with a secretive look. He turned back and said in a low voice: "Supervisor Li, this is a private conversation between the two of us. I don't want others to know the content of our conversation."
Li Zhihe frowned and said, "Don't worry, we are the strictest, so just listen. If a third party knows, I'm the only one you can ask questions about."
Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let me tell you straight, why do you think I love money so much? That was because I was forced by Yan Sansi."
Li Zhihe shook his head and smiled: "This makes no sense. How could Yan Sansi let you become an official just 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's family?"
Li Zhihe felt funny in his heart. As soon as he said the word hookup, it clearly showed that the champion was a parallel importer, and it was probably Yan Shu who played a role in it.
"When I visited Bianshui on March 3 this year, I was wandering by the Bianshui River and accidentally met Miss Yan. At that time, I didn't know that she was Yan Sansi's niece. Miss Yan and I were talking about speculation.
As soon as people come and go, they become like glue."
Li Zhihe frowned and said, "It must have been your wealth and wealth that helped me. This Miss Yan is so ignorant that she is so close to you."
Su Jin continued: "Later I learned that this Miss Yan is Yan Sansi's niece. Do you think I should let go at this time? Or should I hold on tightly?"
Li Zhihe thought for a moment and said, "I can't guess. I'm not a roundworm in your belly."
Su Jin rolled his eyes and said: "Then you are a bit...that stupid. I have already married Miss Yan, so obviously I chose the latter."
Li Zhihe was embarrassed and cursed secretly that he was indeed stupid. Isn't this obvious?
"Originally, people like me would never be able to succeed. How could I let go of this good opportunity?" Su Jin said with a smile.
Li Zhihe scratched his head and asked: "I would like to ask, whose family is Mr. Su? What kind of officials did your ancestors hold?"
Su Jin laughed heartily and said, "Guan'er? No one in my family has been an official in eight lifetimes."
Li Zhihe Wen said: "That's okay. Heroes often come from the grass, but it doesn't matter if they come from ordinary people's families as long as they have a clean family background."
Su Jin smiled and said: "I am the son of a merchant. My family has a small business in Luzhou City, selling some miscellaneous things."
Li Zhihe was speechless. He was just a commoner, but he was still a businessman who was not as good as ordinary people, so he couldn't help but asked: "Then how can Yan Sansi agree to your relationship with Miss Yan?"
Su Jin said: "Yes, I was also very worried about this matter, but I soon figured it out. So what if Yan Sansi doesn't agree? I forced him to agree."
Li Zhihe said in astonishment: "How could you force Yan Sansi?"
Su Jin lowered his voice and said in Li Zhihe's ear: "Do you really want to know?"
Li Zhihe pretended not to care and said, "If it is inconvenient for Mr. Su to say it, just leave it alone."
Su Jin chuckled and said: "It's no inconvenience. It's okay to tell 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...behead first and then show off, cook the raw rice into cooked rice, which makes Miss Yan's belly bigger..."
Li Zhihe felt dizzy and dizzy for a while. He quickly held on to the table to steady himself and took a few deep breaths before he regained his composure.
