Chapter 66: The People's Heart
Chu Yang's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he didn't show a very excited look at Li Ping's statement.
He didn't believe that Li Ping, as the county eunuch, would be ignorant of the Mo family's actions.
made such a fuss, and now he is running over to play a good person, and even wants to use it to control himself.
Chu Yang is not one of those rookies who has just stepped into the officialdom, how can he not see through Li Ping's thoughts.
The timely beating also showed Chu Yang's attitude.
What kind of trick do you Li Pingxiu have to play in front of the master!
Seeing that Chu Yang didn't say anything, Li Ping's heart was like an ant on a hot pot, extremely tormented.
Just when he was about to lose his support, he heard Chu Yang say slowly:
"Actually, it's not that difficult to resettle the victims......
Li Ping's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly sat down on the side, looking like he was listening.
"These people have been displaced and reduced to here, it can be said that they have no longer anything, even if the imperial court allocates a little money and food, how long can they last?"
"This ......"
Li Ping was stunned, obviously not expecting this.
The reason why he asked Chu Yang to make a move was actually because he took a fancy to the other party's financial resources as the richest man.
If Chu Yang is willing to take out some of the money to resettle the villagers, it will definitely solve the urgent need.
"No matter how much money and food you have, there will always be a time when you run out, and by that time, the victims have already entered the city, isn't Lord Li afraid of stirring up a civil uprising?"
Chu Yang's tone was flat and did not carry any emotion, but Li Ping was shocked into a cold sweat in an instant.
Once there is a civil uprising, it is a sin to kill the head!
When the time comes, the court will investigate it, and as Bai Yuan's person, he will definitely take him out of the top tank.
Li Ping looked at Chu Yang with a pale face, and said cautiously:
"Then according to Lord Chu's meaning, what should we do?"
"If you want to completely appease the people, you must first solve their long-term food problems, if everyone can earn from their work, do you think this matter is still difficult?"
Chu Yang smiled, took out a drawing from his arms, and handed it over.
"It's ......"
Looking at the strange symbols on the picture, Li Ping was confused.
"These are the places where our Surabaya County produces coal, I have sent someone to investigate, these coals are of excellent quality, if they can be mined, not to mention that these thousands of displaced people have to rely on, I am afraid it will also be a great achievement in the imperial court."
A few days ago, when he had nothing to do, Chu Yang ran around with a surveyor full of Surabaya.
Pei County was a famous coal producer in later generations, and it was not difficult to tap the resources here.
In addition to coal, he also discovered several copper mines, but the imperial court is very strict about this, so he does not plan to announce it now.
Holding the drawings in his hand, Li Ping trembled with excitement.
Originally, he thought that as long as he could solve the problem of the displaced people, he would already burn high incense, but he didn't expect Chu Yang to give him such a huge surprise this time.
This is a coal mine!
At this time, it is absolutely like gold.
Don't mention anything else, as long as this drawing is presented, the official knighthood must be a sure thing.
And once the mine is opened, a lot of labor is needed, so that the livelihood of those displaced people is also guaranteed.
It's definitely the best of both worlds!
At this time, Li Ping admired Chu Yang from the bottom of his heart.
People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.
This master disciple of Guiguzi is actually so proficient in the art of Kanyu!
This kind of person deserves to be promoted and make a fortune!
Now that he has countermeasures, Li Ping also has confidence.
"The old man sent people to resettle the refugees, and once the coal mine opened, these people would have something to rely on. Lord Chu rest assured, the old man will truthfully play this matter to the court, and I believe that Your Majesty will be happy after knowing Lord Chu's methods! ”
After being completely convinced, Li Ping put away his fancy intestines and became honest.
He knew that this matter was inseparable from Chu Yang's support, and no matter how slippery he played at this time, he would suffer in the end.
Chu Yang nodded.
"In this way, first spend some money and food from the Baolai Pavilion to help you resettle the displaced people, and then you can pay it back after the coal mine is up."
Hearing this, Li Ping finally showed a smile on his face, and after thanking Chu Yang again, he left satisfied.
Three days went by in a flash.
Early in the morning of the same day, after a simple freshening, Chu Yang rushed to Tingchaolou with his servants and a few students.
Along the way, Ma Jun kept his head down, with a touch of shame on his face.
In his opinion, if it weren't for himself, why would Mr. go down to fight those people in person.
The group walked to the corner of the street, and Xiao He also rushed over with a team of officials.
A few days ago, he went out on a business trip, and he didn't come back until last night, and after learning about Chu Yang's affairs, he ordered all the people early in the morning and hurried over.
"Sir, don't go, where is Xiao, I want to see what tricks they play!"
Xiao He respectfully bowed to Chu Yang, and turned to look at Ma Jun, with a thick reproach in his tone.
"You kid, you usually know how to cause trouble, now it's okay, even if you are tired of Mr., you are satisfied!"
"Senior Brother Xiao, I'm ...... I ......"
Ma Jun raised his head, looking like he was about to cry, and his voice became choked.
"Alright, look what you scared the kid out of."
Chu Yang shook his head with a smile, looked at Xiao He and quipped:
"Didn't you also be cornered by that county at the beginning, why would you be embarrassed to teach the juniors a lesson."
"Ahem......"
Xiao He's expression was stunned, a little embarrassed.
"Okay, since you're here, come with me to meet those guys, his Mo family has thousands of disciples, is my Chu disciple so unbearable? Defeat before you fight? ”
Chu Yang's gaze swept on everyone's faces, whether it was Xiao He, or Ma Jun, and those students, all of them were inspired to have a strong fighting spirit.
Everyone said in unison:
"Naturally not! The disciple is willing to follow Mr. and kill the thief together! ”
Chu Yang nodded and continued to walk forward, Xiao He and Ma Jun, as well as many disciples, hurriedly followed behind.
Although this group of people did not have any words, they invisibly gave people a sense of slaughter, like a lone army of scouts.
The surrounding people looked at this team, infected by the atmosphere, and showed a very nostalgic look on their faces.
Gradually, some people began to put down what they were holding and silently followed the back of the group.
One, two, three......
As time passed, more and more people gathered at the back of the line.
That originally short team has turned into a long dragon with teeth and claws.
"His grandmother's, Chu Xiancai has done so many good things for our Pei County, and now the Mo family is invading the door and knocking on the door, but anyone who has a little conscience knows how to do it!"
"That's right, since our little dog went to school, he has read well, and even those old masters in the north of the city have praised him, vying to accept him as a disciple, this is all the work of Lord Chu's education, why does his Mo family defile people's innocence!"
"Lao Tzu is too lazy to care about the Mo family, Confucianism, Lao Tzu only knows, if there is no Chu Gongzi, Lao Tzu would have been a family with four walls, and it is Chu Gongzi who will make the method of making soy milk and tofu public, which gives me a chance to wait for the small people, what is his Mo family!"
The people were furious and spontaneously protected Chu Yang in the center.
Looking at these familiar faces in the past, Chu Yang's heart warmed, this may be the most simple and lovely group of people in this land of China.
At this time, Fan Xu's eyes were red, like an iron tower protecting Chu Yang's left, and Xiao He on the right was already crying.
Looking at the scene in front of him, he suddenly remembered a sentence that his husband had mentioned in his daily chat:
"Water can carry a boat, or it can capsize a boat......"
"Is this the people's heart......" Xiao He muttered.
