The next day, a group of homeless people beat the drums at the entrance of the yamen and asked the county to open a righteous hall to give porridge.

Hou Sizhi was annoyed, and without thinking about it, he ordered the officials to drive people away, and for a while there were cries everywhere, and more and more people gathered to point fingers.

What do you say about the county order that adults are not sympathetic to the people's feelings and careless about people's lives.

Seeing that the excitement of the crowd could not be suppressed, the surnamed Hou finally panicked, so he said that he would take out the grain in the treasury and send the displaced people away.

"Hey, idiot."

Li Ran was in the restaurant opposite the county office, and he could see it clearly.

This kind of unskilled opponent can't be interested in slapping him in the face.

The homeless people were naturally found by him, and the people who ate melons were also instigated by him, so Hou Sizhi really couldn't see that there was a fraud...... A while ago, he teased Webster's Kaiyi Hall, and the homeless people have eaten big fish and meat for more than 20 days, and they are all fat and healthy, and they have nothing to do with the four words of face and yellow muscles.

"Young master, Hou Sizhi's family background is about to be hollowed out by us."

Cheng Bo had detailed information on the financial revenue and expenditure of the county government at hand, and after three times and two tosses, Hou Sizhi was able to use the book silver and grain deposits, which were converted into a maximum of forty taels of silver.

"Go on! So much so that he can't even pay the salary of the servants, and a penny is difficult for the hero, I really want to see, what will this fake Qing Gao Yushitai official do when he is hungry? ”

"However, he has lost his wealth and does not want to fight for fame, and he will not use any more money." , Cheng Bo is extremely thoughtful.

"That's right, so let's change the way that is more immoral...... For example, setting a fire to the yamen. ”

Li Ran smiled, like a little devil, "The official doesn't repair the yamen, the yamen in Luling County is already in disrepair, and if the fire goes down, it will be a question whether he can live in it, I don't believe he dares to sleep in a dangerous house." ”

Trolls are the most timid and life-saving, and there is nothing wrong with them.

Cheng Bo naturally complied, and that night, the fire of the county government illuminated most of the street.

When Li Ran visited Hou Sizhi again a day later, the county magistrate was sitting on the dark threshold, in a daze, and there seemed to be traces of fire burning on his face.

What a miserable word, it makes my brother a little embarrassed to have to fix him today.

"Lord County Commander, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and it is a great luck that no one was hurt."

What is a cat crying a mouse, what is a sprinkling salt on the wound, Hou Sizhi's facial expression twitched, stared at Li Ran, and was silent for a long time.

It's been going on for a few days, and even the stupidest person should be suspicious...... Since he came into contact with Li Ran, he has been unlucky, and he can't be explained by character at all!

“…… Sereiro, what are you doing again? ”

Hou Sizhi asked hatefully, doubtful to suspicious, did he have any evidence.

"I'll ...... Donations. ”

Li Ran looked innocent, and said indeed innocent words, Hou Si stopped for half a minute before he was sure that he had heard correctly.

"Donate, how to donate, what?" In the past two days, I have heard that things related to money have a big head.

"Naturally, it is a donation to the county government, this fire burned most of the yamen, and our Luling official mansion can't be paralyzed."

Li Ran was extremely sincere, and said with a straight face, "Lord Wang first came to Luling, and all industries are waiting to be prospered, how can he be discouraged because of a fire, my Luling King is willing to take a big head and encourage the squires everywhere to donate money to repair the yamen." ”

"This, how does this make!" , Hou Sizhi burst into tears in an instant, what an empathetic King Luling, did you blame the good people before?

"Please don't shirk it, my side, I will offer thirty taels of silver first, and if you think it is not enough, you can raise some more...... By the way, my lord, dare to ask if you can find the craftsmen of Qi Xiu Yamen? ”

Hou Sizhi was asked again, he had only been in Luling for less than half a month, how could he come into contact with people from all walks of life.

"If you are embarrassed, a few days ago, when the King of Luling organized migrant workers to repair the statue for the emperor, there were a group of professional craftsmen, you might as well invite them to come, the repair speed is fast, and the quality of the project is also guaranteed."

"Okay, okay, invite them quickly." , Hou Sizhi was overjoyed, he didn't want to sleep in the hard-hit area at night and smell the strong smell of fireworks, didn't he?

In the afternoon of the same day, the squires from all over the country rushed to the yamen with the silver...... It's not that Li Ran has strong appeal, but that his 'reasons' are sufficient.

What he informed the squire, not a donation, but a loan!

"The yamen is short of money, so they can lend it to Hou County, and according to the rules of the pawnshop, the interest will be calculated at 2%."

This is Li Ran's original words, how can the squire not be moved, the only doubt is that the Hou County Order is not a fool, how can he agree?

"Because, he has a reason to borrow."

Li Ran looked at the migrant workers brigade gathered outside the yamen, and a smug smile flashed on the corner of his mouth...... Doing engineering, the consequences of not having a family background, hehe.

The price of repairing the yamen is one hundred taels of silver, the construction period is one month, the market price, there is no pit, even if it is a pit, Hou Sizhi can't see it, he happily signed and signed the contract.

Just wait for the first money to start construction...... So when the squires took out the silver and asked him to write down the IOU, although the former imperial historian felt that it was a little different from the details of the previous discussion, the silver was in hand, and he still signed happily.

This product must not understand the pain of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall, nor has he tasted the despair of breaking the capital chain.

Unfortunately, he will taste it right away.

"What, the price of materials for rebuilding the yamen has increased?" Two days later, an unfortunate news blew up Hou Sizhi's scalp.

This time, it was not Li Ran's "crow's mouth" that was reported, but the sword and pen officer of the yamen...... Although, the initiator is still Li Ran.

He secretly rounded up the entire wood and stone business in Luling, and forced the yamen to buy materials if they wanted to, but they couldn't buy them, and the entire project would be three times higher than the original cost!

In addition, for every day of delay, it is necessary to pay the wages of the workers for one day.

As soon as ten days passed, Hou Sizhi went bankrupt...... He couldn't pay for the project at all, and the migrant workers who were in arrears of wages surrounded the yamen all day long to ask for explanations.

What made Hou Sizhi even more desperate was that the squires who received the news also rushed to the yamen, for fear that the money they lent out would be wasted.

Under the double pressure, Hou Sizhi broke out, he couldn't care about his face anymore, and forced the officials to drive everyone away, while he hurriedly packed his bags and prepared to go back to Luoyang, looking for relatives and friends to raise money to plug the hole.

It's a pity that no one in the three classes of officials is ...... Can't even pay your salary, and you still want to leave?

"Say, aren't we going too far?"

Li Ran heard the news that Hou Sizhi vomited blood at the entrance of the yamen and couldn't afford to be sick, so he smacked his lips regretfully, "This person, why don't you play like this." ”

“…… Young master, Hou Sizhi has betrayed his relatives and left, and he is alone, so it is difficult to set off waves again. ”

Cheng Bo almost wrote the words kneeling on his face, and there is no one who kills people to the extent of murder.

"Send someone to keep an eye on him, and then, continue our plan...... The ripening period of potatoes is five months, that is, before the beginning of spring next year, you can have a harvest, I have calculated, this batch of potatoes planted can supply about 5,000 people for a year, with other staple foods, you can eat longer, with it, it will definitely make the grain price in Luling City fall to the lowest level in history, we will defeat the big grain merchants after the bottom, buy their shops. ”

After a pause, Li Ran's eyes lit up, "Not only food, but also oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other materials, in the future, it will all be up to our family." ”
