Chapter 390 Appointment

Tianyu 20 years, the first day of June

The two carriages slowly walked out of the west gate, and their unfancy, or even plain, did not attract any attention, except of course for the guard who came forward to check his identity. Inside the carriage, it was naturally Tang Jin and his party.

After a month of intelligence collection, Tang Jin had a preliminary understanding of Yulin County. This also made him have to sigh...... Don't be really unlucky!

Yulin County was originally no different from what Gonggong Li said that day, the climate is suitable, there is no worry about food and clothing, and the poor are a little poor, but at least they can guarantee that they will not starve to death. But that's just before, at the beginning of this year, a heavy snow flooded the entire Yulin County, freezing to death countless crops for the winter, although the people replanted a lot after the beginning of spring, but after all, it was still not enough, and now the entire county is in a famine, if it weren't for the temporary allocation of some grain by Qixian County, it is estimated that Tang Jin will not be able to see it after that.

Of course, there are also several neighboring counties that have also suffered from the snow disaster, including Tang Xu's Qinglin County, and Chenglin County, which is separated by a mountain, is better, after all, due to the transportation and military power, the imperial court has allocated food for the first time.

Therefore, the biggest problem in front of Tang Jin now is how to solve the food problem as soon as possible, and it is best to transport the food before he arrives, so as to establish a good image in the hearts of the people, so as to reduce the people's rejection of his airborne parents.

Of course, it is not difficult to solve this problem, although Tang Jin's Tianlu Commercial Bank is mainly engaged in foreign trade, it still has the ability to buy grain, and then while the fourth prince Tang Hui has not yet taken office, he will rush to send grain in.

That's right, this is the solution, it's simple, but it's only for Tang Jin's own use. That's not to say how hard it is, or how hard to think about, just because other people don't have the money.

Everyone can't rely on the power of the family, only a start-up capital of 1,000 taels. To be honest, for these pampered royal children, a thousand taels may not be able to hold up to any place, let alone take out the excess to buy food. Besides, how much grain can you buy for a thousand taels? How can you eat in two counties?

But Tang Jin is completely for Tang Jin

It is not a constraint. When has he borrowed Tang Duo's forces since he entered Beijing? That is, he is just a fox and a fake tiger with his name, and don't you rely on yourself for all the rest of the things?

Nowadays, in terms of force, he has Dali Temple in his hands, in terms of financial resources, he has a Tianlu Chamber of Commerce that is gradually replacing the former Wang family, and in terms of science and technology, he has a sweat that is far away, but can provide strong assistance when necessary.

It can be said that even if he doesn't rely on family power, Tang Jin can easily deal with this small crisis, and even in this way, the thousand taels given by the imperial court have become dispensable. This is probably the first time that the imperial court has been so embarrassed.

"How is Liu Yuqing's preparations?"

Inside the first carriage, Tang Xu looked at Tang Jin and said.

"Don't worry, the grain has been almost bought, and it is being transported to Yulin County in batches, and a batch will be left in Qinglin County by the way. As for the information on the Dali Temple, Xiao Si still stayed in the palace to make some necessary preparations, and he had no plans to go to the post for a long time, and he didn't even have contact with Ren Di. ”

Tang Jin couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke. These royal children, who have been pampered since childhood, once they leave the advice of their elders, they all seem to have become idiots.

For a place thousands of miles away, without any prior understanding, and without even caring about the movements of other competitors, just blindly reciting dead books, vainly trying to learn how to govern a county's political affairs through books, this is simply an ignorant approach.

In modern society, management may still be a science, and if you want to be a good manager of a county, you really need a high level of education. But for feudal society, there was no need for this.

The people of feudal society are called simple when they say it is good, and stupid when they say it is ugly. The sunrise and sunset all day long, the biggest chase of the year is to have a good year, not to starve to death.

As long as you can let them eat, you are the master of the blue sky, eat one less bite, you are not, it's as simple as that. Therefore, to learn the principles of the sages and the merits of the teachings is simply to break the ground. People can't eat, and you tell him to be a good person, and it is estimated that the reply you get will most likely be a standard national scolding.

As for those businessmen, landlords, and the like, it's even simpler, where do I go

, not what do you say he listens to?

Yes, your official position is indeed only a county order, but it can't stand your real identity as a royal family. You only stay here for six years, but they have to stay here for a lifetime, he doesn't give you pleasure in these six years, and when you return to the palace, can he still be good?

Therefore, to deal with those so-called landlords and gentry, just use your identity to suppress it, as long as you give him a little way to live, he can endure until you leave. In other words, in the past six years in office, as long as the people are taken care of, those merchants and landlords can be completely ignored.

Of course, you don't have to ignore it, if necessary, pull a few out to die, and you can also attract a lot of people's hearts for yourself. Anyway, as long as you find a few people to publicize it, no matter how good a businessman you are, no matter how good a landlord you are, you will become a heinous Zhou Peel in minutes, and then press it at the door of the county government to cut it, well, this people's heart is instantaneous, and you can still receive a wave of family property with it, why not?

"How's it going for the dead ghosts?"

Knowing that those businessmen and landlords were so useful, how could Tang Jin not use them?

"It's been found, according to your requirements." Saying that, Tang Xu threw a scroll into Tang Jin's hand, "Chen Changgui from Yulin County, known as Chen Dashan. In this famine, money and materials were donated, and many victims were rescued...... Are you really going to kill him? Don't steal chickens and rice. ”

Tang Jin glanced at the scroll and nodded with satisfaction.

"Do you know what kind of people are most hated? Not the good people who have done all the bad things, but the fake good people, the hypocrites. A heinous bad man, who suddenly does a good deed, will be led to think that he is a prodigal son, and to regard him as a great good man, and his past faults can be erased in an instant; In the same way, if a good person does a bad thing, his past exploits will be overturned in an instant, or he will be said to have ulterior motives. People will repay the greatest kindness to the bad people who have returned to the prodigal son, and they will also repay the best evil people who have done something wrong. ”

As he spoke, he raised the scroll in his hand.

"A good man, a great good man, but at the same time...... He can also be a great villain with ulterior motives! Just because, I have a need, and he is unlucky. ”
