[69 Book Bar - www.] After Ling Feng walked out of the City God's Temple, he went all the way back to the Liang family's mansion and changed his clothes. Before he left the room, he heard knocks on the door, and said: "The door is unlocked, come in.
Bar."
It turned out that Feng Qian was back. He closed the door and came forward, cupping his hands and saying, "Master Liang."
Ling Feng saw that Feng Qian still seemed to have a smile on his face. It seemed that things should go smoothly, so he smiled and said: "Feng Qian, how did things go? Will it have any impact because of the rain just now?"
Feng Qian cupped his hands and said, "My lord, everything went well. Although it started to rain not long after the edict was posted, the people of Suzhou City heard that you were going to reduce the taxes of the people of Suzhou for the whole year, so they braved the rain one after another.
Come and watch, the scene is simply packed with people.”
"Really? It's really great!" Ling Feng then asked: "Then what did they say?"
Feng Qian said with a smile: "Everyone who saw the edict laughed happily after knowing that they did not have to pay such heavy taxes. Some people even boasted that you understand the sufferings of the people."
Feng Qian's words don't seem to be lying. It seems that people are really forgetful. Just issuing an edict to reduce taxes can put smiles on their faces. People are always the kindest and most ignorant.
It is also the easiest to be satisfied and deceived. A slap in the face and a sweet date can make you forget the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the past. No wonder the officials say they are stupid people.
However, this is good. It seems that changing people's views is just around the corner. Ling Feng also clapped his hands happily and said: "Great! I succeeded! I succeeded!"
Feng Qian looked at Ling Feng inexplicably, wondering what he meant by success. Is this just a plan of his?
Ling Feng asked: "By the way, Feng Qian, how long do you think it will take for the news in this edict to be known to everyone in Suzhou City?"
Feng Qian said without hesitation: "Sir, I think if it is passed on like this, it will be known to everyone in Suzhou in less than a day."
"Okay! Very good!" Ling Feng continued: "Feng Qian, you should go and summon all the servants in the house right now. Each person takes a gong and goes out to beat it and shout, 'The prefect distributes relief food', so that all the people who are affected by natural disasters can
People who have no food to eat should come to our Liang family residence to get food."
"Sir, do you want to distribute relief food?"
If relief grains are distributed, the government's granary must be opened, but Ling Feng doesn't know where the government's granary is, so he said: "Feng Qian, where is the government's granary?"
"The granary is in a small warehouse south of the government office. It has always been independently supervised by Master Liu."
Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Liu? So the key to the warehouse should be with him?"
Feng Qian looked at Ling Feng with some confusion. He didn't know why Ling Feng asked him this question. Didn't he know who held the key?
"My head hurts." Ling Feng was worried that Feng Qian would be suspicious, so he covered his head and pretended to have a headache, making him look very painful.
Feng Qian hurriedly said: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Feng covered his head and said, "I went out riding a few days ago and accidentally fell off the horse and hit my head, so I don't remember some things very clearly."
"So that's it." Feng Qian dispelled his doubts and said: "Sir, didn't you say before that you would hand over all the affairs of the house to Mr. Liu? Presumably the key to the granary must also be kept with him.
.”
Ling Feng asked: "Master Liu? What is his name Liu?"
"Liu Xiahuan."
"Liu Xiahuan?" Ling Feng ordered: "Feng Qian, go and invite Master Liu over immediately. I will personally retrieve the key to the granary, and then open the granary to provide relief to the victims."
"Yes! Sir, I'll do it right away!" After saying that, Feng Qian walked out.
Ling Feng was left alone in the room again. He thought that just by reducing taxes, the people had changed their minds about him. So if the iron was hot and the government's granary was opened to distribute food to the victims who had no food, they would definitely
Be more grateful, and you will be grateful when the time comes.
But listening to what Feng Qian just said, it seems that the so-called "emperor" in Suzhou City is Liang Wentian, and the one who holds the power is Liu Xiahuan. Ling Feng can't figure out why Liang Wentian would hand over all affairs to Liu Xiahuan to take care of it?
Is Liu Xiahuan really capable of entrusting him with important tasks and is he really so trustworthy? Or is Liang Wentian simply a pustule who only relied on his family's power to obtain high-ranking positions but lacked the ability to govern, so he handed over all control to Liu Xiahuan.
Ling Feng speculated: "Liu Xiahuan? It looks like a very romantic name. If he is not a very loyal person, he is a very traitorous person."
"Dong dong..." There were two more clear knocks on the door.
Ling Feng knew that the person he would face next must be a very powerful person, so he cleared his throat and said calmly: "Come in."
Feng Qian and Liu Xiahuan walked in together. Feng Qian cupped his hands and said, "Sir! Master Liu is here."
Ling Feng said calmly: "Okay, Feng Qian, please step aside. Don't forget what I just told you. Remember, what you must do must be as sensational as possible. Everyone must know what you must do."
Feng Qian nodded and cupped his hands and said, "Sir, Feng Qian will definitely live up to your high expectations!"
Ling Feng patted Feng Qian on the shoulder and said, "Very good! Go ahead."
"Yes! Sir." Feng Qian turned around and walked out.
The door was closed again, and only Ling Feng and Liu Xiahuan were left in the room. Liu Xiahuan felt strange from the moment he came in. However, Ling Feng never looked at him seriously, but he kept thinking about himself.
He was talking to a servant named Feng Qian, as if he couldn't see him, and he was talking to Feng Qian as if he was about to do something earth-shattering. This made Liu Xiahuan feel very strange.
.
Ling Feng sat back on the chair. He looked at the person in front of him, Liu Xiahuan. This was not the first time he had seen him. He still remembered that the first time he saw him was when he woke up and saw him and Fengxian together as if they were discussing something.
.
Ling Feng raised his eyebrows coldly and said, "Do you know why I asked you to come?"
One sentence interrupted all the speculations in Liu Xiahuan's heart. He hurriedly stepped forward to bow and said calmly: "I don't know, Mr. Liang, why are you here in such a hurry to see me?"
Ling Feng asked: "Liu Xiahuan, let me ask you, how is the weather in Suzhou this year compared to previous years?"
Liu Xiahuan paused and said, "This year's weather is a little worse than in previous years, but it's not bad."
Ling Feng hated this kind of vague words with uncertain results, so he got up and said sternly: "What do you mean it's okay? Do ordinary people still have some food left in their homes?"
"This? This should be true." Ling Feng's sharp words made Liu Xiahuan a little dumbfounded.
"Should? What should be?" Ling Feng said coldly: "Where is the key to the government granary!"
"I have the key here. Do you want it, sir?"
Ling Feng coldly said two words from his mouth: "Bring it!"
Liu Xiahuan obediently took out the key to the warehouse, handed it to Ling Feng, and muttered: "Sir, the things in the warehouse are all official rations, and you are not allowed to touch them at will."
Ling Feng snorted coldly and said: "I don't care whether it is official food or not. I only know that there are still many people in Suzhou City who are in dire straits. There are still many people who can't even fill their stomachs. They will be ready at any time.
Someone may die of hunger! Let me tell you! I don’t want to see the story of ‘the rich wine and meat stink, and the roads freezing to death’ happen in the territory of Suzhou under my jurisdiction!”
Liu Xiahuan was shocked by what Ling Feng said. Is this still the same Liang Wentian as before? Didn't he no longer want to help the world and learn to go with the flow?
Liu Xiahuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Sir, you are right!"
"Well, now you go and gather a team of strong government servants to go to the granary in the south. Later I will personally go over and watch you transport the food to the door of the Liang family's mansion, and then distribute the food to the people in need."
"Yes, sir!" Liu Xiahuan did not dare to say any more and walked out immediately.
