Yang Kai was very happy.

The little boy went out of the horse, and he was really invincible, he was worried in vain at home for several days, and when he rode a fast horse to the Wuyi County Ya, and told him the news that all the thieves from Henghai who had wandered into the territory of Wuyi had been destroyed, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. The whole Wuyi was not alarmed at all, and without even hearing the news, this matter disappeared.

He immediately prepared a gift and went to Zhuangzi to congratulate the little boy in person. Such a good opportunity to slap the sycophant naturally can't be missed.

Then he was grieved.

Because all the bandits have been exterminated, but the thousands of people need him to settle them.

Li Ze was not asking him, but ordering him, and he didn't have the courage to refuse at all, the question is, is this thousand people so easy to place?

"Yang County Order, this time to suppress the bandits, I went under your banner, so you can report to Yizhou, just say that you have done your best to fight the bandits that came from Wuyi." Li Ze smiled and said. I think that Cao Tingshi will definitely reward him."

Of course, it's a good thing to ask for credit, but with this credit, you can't run away from the rest of the things.

"This is the credit of the childe, how dare the lower officials be greedy for the merits of the sky?" He muttered.

"My affairs must not be leaked, and only you can take this credit." Li Ze's face sank, "Is there anything difficult about the Yang County Order?"

"No, no, no, no difficulty!" Yang Kai saw that Li Ze's face had changed, and he immediately agreed loudly. But Childe, how can you settle these thousands of people, so many old and weak women and children?"

"What's so hard about that? These people don't have any other demands for the time being, just to beg for their lives." Li Ze said lightly: "I remember that on the side of Daqing Mountain, isn't there still a lot of wasteland?" That's the county's public land, right?"

"It's the county's public land."

"If you give these public fields to these people, you won't be able to do anything this winter, but in the spring of next year, let these people go to open up the wasteland and go to farming." Li Zedao: "Yang County Order, take a long-term view, this Wuyi, now there are only 2,000 households, a middle county, now there are more than 1,000 people, there can be hundreds of more households, when the time comes, let Wang Er run for you, you can become a county, this is also helpful for your career, isn't it?" Won't these hundreds of households still have to pay taxes to you when the time comes? Among these thousand people, there are three or four hundred young and strong, and after the training, you have three or four hundred more soldiers, right? No matter what time it is, the number of households in the county has increased, and the number of people has increased, which is a good thing for Wuyi, for Yizhou, and even for Chengde, isn't it?"

Yang Kai said with a smile: "Childe, I understand the truth, but the key is how they will spend this winter?"

"The county can't even get this bit of food, right?" Li Ze asked.

"In previous years, it wouldn't be too much of a problem, but this year, it's become a big problem!" Yang Kai said with a sad face: "Chengde Jiedu Mansion has increased taxes once, Cao Tingshi has increased taxes again, and a lot of grain has been levied, and the surplus grain in the county has been swept away, and there is still grain in Changping, but Gongzi, this grain, I don't dare to move after eating the leopard's guts!" That's war food. If this grain is moved, Cao Tingshi will really want my head."

Looking at the painful look on Yang Kai's face, Li Ze knew that he was telling the truth, speaking of which, it was still a matter from Lu Long's side, in previous years, it was not a particularly difficult thing to move the grain in the Changping warehouse, but now, who knows when the war will start, in case next year it will not be able to wait for the harvest after the autumn? At that time, once the grain was transferred, the grain could not be taken out, Yang Kai would definitely not be able to get rid of his claws, he was pulled out, could he still hide it? He must be going to confess himself to the top of the vat in order to get rid of the crime, then he will be exposed to the world.

"In this way, you can only make up your mind with the rich families in the county!" Li Ze touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

Yang Kai looked at Li Ze and said in his heart, the biggest rich man in this Wuyi is you!

But he dared to think about it, but he didn't dare to say it.

Looking at his eyes, Li Ze knew what he was thinking: "I will naturally take out money and food, you don't have to look at me like this, since these people were captured by me, I naturally won't watch them starve to death."

"But Childe, those rich families in the county, who doesn't have a little background, I can't bear this little body!" Yang Kai looked at Li Ze with a blank look.

"Don't look at me, figure it out yourself, others have a relationship, don't you have one? The second son of Wang is a big backer, is it natural to use it at this time? Don't drive the king to endorse you, are you still afraid that you won't be able to pay for it?" Li Ze sneered.

"I, I'm just afraid that the king won't think I'm causing trouble for him." Yang Kai was worried.

"Confused!" Li Ze nodded Yang Kai's brain: "You were recommended by him to serve as the commander of this Wuyi County, and now you have given him a long face, eliminated the thieves, and added so many Ding households to Yizhou, which shows that Wang Bei has a good eye for pearls, it is a very face-saving thing, how can he be troublesome?" Don't you ask and let these thousands of people starve to death in your territory, he will have a face, and if something like this happens, he will be in trouble!"

Yang Kai said thoughtfully: "That's the truth!"

"When I go back, I will write a letter to Wang Beijia to report his merits, remember, letter, you have to give Wang Beijia directly, don't go through the normal procedure." Li Ze pointed out, "Then the rest of the things, Wang Beijia will naturally find a way for you, of course, you can't point to Wang Beijia, the main thing is to rely on yourself, the rich merchants in the county are happy to donate, this is a good deed, a good thing, who doesn't do it, you might as well give them a little bit of power, whoever dares to show their teeth to the state, Wang Beijia will clean it up for you."

"Understood, understood!" Yang Kai looked at the young man in front of him with admiration, this is the way of an official, the Li Gongzi in front of him is much older and spicier than him, and he is really a tiger out of the door.

"The wealthy merchants in the county are willing to donate, if the state subsidizes a part, it will be enough to survive this winter, and when spring begins tomorrow, the days will be better, and everything will recover, even if you go to hunt wild vegetables, you can get a lot of food. The next official will do it. Childe here, you don't have to go out."

"Am I such a person?" Li Ze knocked on the table impatiently, "Don't worry, you make a charter, I should come out, and you will not lose a penny."

"Childe Gaoyi." Yang Kai gratefully gave up his hand again and again, with this biggest rich man in Wuyi making a move, he was afraid that it would be difficult to do this by himself, but it was much smaller.

"But ah, I'm a little worried about your subordinates, those people, all of them are iron plates and have to scrape off a layer of iron filings, so much money and food have passed through their hands, I'm worried that how much will fall into the hands of these homeless people in the end, it's really worth thinking about." Li Ze knocked on the table and stared at Yang Kaidao.

Yang Kai was about to swear that he would definitely stare at these people to prevent them from having the slightest chance to rub oil, but when he glanced at Li Ze's faint gaze, he suddenly felt a blessing in his heart, and suddenly understood.

"Childe is very right, it's all greedy, so many things have passed through their hands, I really don't feel at ease. Childe, these homeless people are all rescued by your hard work, so you don't bother the two masters, and when the time comes, I will hand over all the money and food to Childe, and Childe will settle these people, but I wonder if Childe will work too hard?"

Yang Kai was very good, and Li Ze was very satisfied. stood up at the moment and patted Yang Kai's shoulder with satisfaction: "It's hard work, but it's hard, but since I got these people back, I always have to take some responsibility, isn't it, besides, who gave me the surname Li, isn't it?" Hahaha!"

A stone in Yang Kai's heart suddenly fell to the ground, it seems that this time the sycophant was right. Although in this way, he also has less opportunities to make a fortune, but with Li Ze and Li Gongzi, are you still afraid that you will not have a fortune in the future? Just the big mansion that Gongzi rewarded himself to Cheng Wei this year, relying on himself alone, he can't afford it for a lifetime.

As long as you follow the right person, the future is bright, what is the small loss in front of you?

"Then it's going to be hard work." Yang Kai said with a smile.

"Mmmmmm, it's hard work, but it's hard, Yang County Order, stay for a meal today, haha, you have come to me many times, I haven't entertained you once, I must have a meal today." Li Ze smiled and said authentically.

The food in the Zhuangzi naturally made Yang Kai's appetite great, and he was half drunk, so he walked back with joy, as for the armor, bow and arrow, shield, spear and spear that Li Ze borrowed from him, he had already selectively forgotten.
