After the Governor's Mansion was reorganized by Lin Ze, after several days of operation and adjustment, it basically resumed its functions.
At the same time, due to the issuance of the recruitment order, many people came to the capital of Shu from other places every day in the past few days to submit applications for official positions to the Governor's Mansion.
Naturally, Lin Ze would not personally select the personnel like the first time. Instead, he would let the chief officers of each department jointly select the manpower each department needed.
To select the remaining ones, Lin Ze did not ask people to dismiss them directly, but arranged a unified assessment. The assessment questions were jointly developed by all the officials of the Governor's Mansion, involving strategy, military, politics, and various industries.
, Sannong, martial arts and other aspects.
Anyone who achieves certain results in the assessment will be admitted to the Governor's Mansion. All accommodation and food will be arranged by the Governor's Mansion, and a certain amount of money and food will be distributed every month, which is known as "reserve talent."
Lin Ze even personally promised these people who were admitted that once there is a vacancy in official positions, they will be selected first.
As Lin Ze expected, most of the people who came to apply for official positions had some ability, and in the end, as many as half of them passed the assessment and stayed.
The other half, some left with disappointment, and some were unwilling to do so, and actually settled in the capital of Shu, making a living while continuing to take exams, just waiting for the day when God would open their eyes and allow them to pass.
In any case, Lin Ze was happy to see this happen, and he even imitated Tang Taizong and said: All the heroes of Shu are in my arms!
The Shu family, who had been waiting to see Hu Hai's joke, finally stopped laughing. Even though there were still members of their clan holding some official positions in various places, they did not dare to act rashly at this moment.
Everyone looked at the Chenghou Mansion eagerly, waiting for the Ba family to take action.
However, Widow Qing did not disappoint other aristocratic families in Shu. While ordering the recall of the Ba family's sons who were officials in Shu, she also took the initiative to close the Ba family's rice shop and seal up all the grain and not sell it.
The other three major families followed closely, and in less than a day, the price of rice and noodles in Shudu increased by 30%.
Other aristocratic families were unaware of the Ba family's ideas and couldn't help but follow suit. Subsequently, there was a food robbery incident in the capital of Shu, but all the shops selling rice and noodles were sold out.
…
People from the Governor's Mansion and the Intelligence Department quickly informed Lin Ze of the ban on grain sales by various stores.
A sneer appeared on Lin Ze's face after hearing this: "I haven't caused any trouble for you, but you jumped out on your own?"
Lin Ze immediately called for Chen Ping, Wu Fan and Xu Gao.
After the three people arrived, Lin Ze did not hide anything, and directly told the story of the Shu family's actions, and then said: "Master Xu, please immediately urge the counties to send the collected grain and rice to the Shu capital as soon as possible, and open another Shu capital.
In the granary, grain and rice are sold at a 30% premium, and it is stipulated that each household cannot purchase more than twenty kilograms at a time. The restrictions will be relaxed after the grain and rice are shipped from each county."
"At the same time, we should publish a list to calm the people, so that the people should not listen to rumors and believe that the government can solve the matter."
Xu Gao was stunned on the spot and couldn't help but persuade: "Reporting to your lord, the grain and rice in the official warehouse belong to the national treasury according to the law. We are not qualified to embezzle it. Once His Majesty learns that we have opened the warehouse privately, the court will
If the Wei Mansion investigates, we will be punished by death."
Lin Ze coughed slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I'll ask the Governor to give you the next document later. The Governor is responsible for everything. Just do it."
With Hu Hai on top, feeding grain is a trivial matter. Besides, if Emperor Qin learns that the Shu family is collaborating to deal with Hu Hai, even if he wants to kill someone, it will be someone from the Shu family.
Xu Gao still hesitated and said: "But..."
Lin Ze interrupted directly and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, just do it like this. Is it possible that as a farmer's disciple, you can bear to watch the people of Shu starve to death?"
After hearing this, Xu Gao stopped trying to dissuade him. Instead, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then according to what the Admiral said, if Your Majesty takes the blame, I can bear the burden with you. I will open a warehouse to sell grain, and I must not let the people suffer."
Hungry."
After saying that, he bowed to Lin Ze and quickly retreated.
After Xu Gao left, Lin Ze's face turned completely gloomy, and he said to Chen Ping and Wu Fan: "You two quickly collected evidence that the Shu family violated the laws of the Qin Dynasty. I want them to know that there will be consequences for going against the young master.
At what cost.”
The two of them saluted together and said, "I obey my orders and will do my best to collect evidence of the crime."
Lin Ze shook his head and said: "It's right to try your best to search. If you really can't find it, you can find a way to create some evidence. I can't wait too long. In three days at most, I will take action against the Shu family."
Chen Ping and Wu Fan looked at each other and smiled bitterly at each other. This was really the style of their uncle (Master). Naturally, they had no objection to this and bowed to Lin Ze and retreated.
Next, Lin Ze summoned Han Xin and Yu Ziqi.
Lin Ze first told Yu Ziqi: "There have been a lot of things happening in the city recently. You have to be careful to prevent anyone from causing trouble. The government soldiers need to patrol more diligently every day. Later, you can get some gold and copper treasures from the Ministry of Finance to appease the government soldiers.
There must be no chaos in these days."
Yu Ziqi said loudly: "Please rest assured, military advisor, I will definitely not disappoint the military advisor."
Lin Ze nodded slightly and said: "After this period of time, our military advisor will immediately appoint you as the captain, allocate five thousand sergeants to you, and give you an independent designation. No matter what, during this period of time, you must control the army.
Yes, let’s go.”
Yu Ziqi bowed to Lin Ze and excused himself.
Finally, Lin Ze turned his attention to Han Xin and asked: "You have been leading troops for a long time. Let me ask you, can the Sirius army stand up to a battle against a large number of middle-grade warriors from the enemy?"
Han Xin replied confidently: "Please rest assured, military advisor. Not to mention ordinary middle-grade warriors, even sixth-grade warriors will have the confidence to kill them at a very small price if they do not escape."
"Okay," Lin Ze couldn't help but praise, and then said: "In less than three days, there will be a hard battle, and the Sirius Army will be the main force. I hope you and the Sirius Army will not disappoint our military advisor. You can go back and reorganize the army."
, await my orders at any time."
Han Xin cupped his fists and saluted, saying: "I will obey your orders."
…
The next day, Chen Ping and Wu Fan came to Linze's Yamen together, followed by several attendants, holding a large stack of files.
The two of them bowed to Lin Ze, and Chen Ping took the lead and said: "Uncle, there is no need to make it up. The two of us have collected enough evidence to make those aristocratic families confiscate their families and exterminate their families. I would like to ask my uncle to review it."
Lin Ze was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Did you collect it so quickly?"
Wu Fan took the file from the person behind him and said to Lin Ze, "Your Excellency, please take a look. Your Excellency will know after a quick look."
Lin Ze then pulled out a dossier that recorded the behavior of a small aristocratic family in Shu. At a glance, it was shocking.
I saw that the files recorded many crimes of this Liu family, including bullying men, dominating women, and plundering by force, no less than a hundred times. They even acted as fire robbers, robbed passing merchants, and killed people to silence them afterwards.
Lin Ze nodded slightly and said: "Okay, Chen Ping, you immediately send someone to notify Han Xin and let him lead the Sirius army into the city. I want to pick a noble family to do it."
Chen Ping quickly asked: "I wonder where my uncle is?"
Lin Ze thought for a moment and said, "Which family of Zheng, Tan and Fan has the most food?"
Chen Ping thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the Zheng family."
Lin Ze said decisively: "That's it, let Han Xin lead the Sirius Army to surround the Zheng Mansion, and we will take action immediately after I arrive with my masters."
