Anyone is disgusted with being deceived, especially for those who are in power, but the son of heaven of the Han family has always been a mean and immoral person, and of course the same is true of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, if he is deceived and learned by him, this great crime of deceiving the king will immediately be executed by the whole clan, not to mention that it will also harm the ancestral land, so that the ancestors buried in the tomb will not be at peace.

Shen Tu Gong can also be regarded as the confidant of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, naturally knows the temperament of the Son of Heaven, and when he was originally ordered by the Son of Heaven to go to Hedong as the Taishou, Shen Tu Gong was still full of enthusiasm and thought that Hedong had something to do, and lived up to the kindness of the Son of Heaven.

But since they arrived in Hedong, the wealthy and wealthy families in Hedong have sent things to their mansions every once in a while, and they have even set up a banquet at home to beg Shen Tugong to feast at his home......

Since Emperor Gao Liu Bang, generations of the Han family have never had the slightest good impression of the rich and powerful in these places.

Therefore, when he built his own mausoleum, he recruited the world's heroes to force it to move to the land of Guanzhong.

And at every turn, the Son of Heaven will order a cool official to harvest these heroes like leeks, with a knife, stubble by stubble......

The wealthy and powerful families who lived in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty lived in fear all day long, so every time a newly appointed official came here, these powerful people would immediately come forward and give them a lot of money, so as to seek refuge for themselves.

At first, Shen Tu Gong refused in every possible way, but after a long time, where did he withstand such a baptism of sugar-coated shells, but after a long time, he was completely corrupted......

However, looking at the courts of all dynasties, even in my Great Heavenly Dynasty, who is an official for the first time does not uphold the heart of helping the world and want to be a good official who asks for the people's life.

But there are too many temptations to be officials, and in the end, few can withstand the temptation of money and beauty............

And Shen Tu Gong went to Hedong to be the Taishou for less than a year, and the Son of Heaven transferred Zhou Yangyou to Hedong as the captain.

However, Captain Ran was originally only in charge of military duties, assisting the Taishou in rectifying the military affairs of Hedong County, but Zhou Yangyou never took Shentu Gong in his eyes since he arrived in Hedong, and often interfered in the government affairs of Hedong County beyond his authority.

For this reason, Shen Tu Gong had a headache, and even wrote to the Son of Heaven several times to participate in Zhou Yangyou, but as soon as he played it, he sank into the sea, and there was no answer.

Over time, the officialdom of this county in Hedong was divided into two parts. One faction is naturally headed by Taishou Shentu Gong, and the other faction is headed by Duwei Zhou Yangyou, and Xu Teng of Fenyin County is Zhou Yangyou's person, so when he knows that the person who goes to Hedong is Liu Rong, the emperor's eldest son, then Xu Teng will inform Zhou Yangyou as soon as possible, not Shentu Gong............

Under such a battle, in the end, Shen Tugong also gave up, and began to think wholeheartedly to make money in Hedong County, and no official position or title is as important as gold!

However, this time in the great drought in Hedong, Shentu Gong originally wanted to play the Son of Heaven and take the grain stored in the root warehouse and the wet warehouse to help the victims.

Ordinary people's homes, when the corn is harvested, will sell most of the corn and exchange it for money to pay the taxes of the imperial court, and in the autumn and winter, they will buy grain with the money to survive.

But these Haoqiang are different, Haoqiang's home already has money and wealth, and which Haoqiang has at least a thousand acres of land, and there is a granary at home to store grain.

In this year of great calamity, the corn harvest was already in deficit, and it was even more difficult for the people to survive, but this is a time for these heroes to celebrate.

As long as you are a human being, you have to eat, and if you don't eat, you will starve to death.

Since the beginning of the great drought, the heroes of the entire Hedong County have secretly manipulated the grain prices in Hedong County to rise, so that the price of corn has increased by 30% in just a few days, and they have made a lot of money.

But these heroes still didn't want to stop there, and they had such an opportunity, but they made more money than collecting the rent of the hired farmer's land, so they came up with other ideas............

After several discussions, these heroes naturally didn't dare to go directly to Taishou Shentu Gong to say anything, but they knew that Zhou Kaike, the Marquis of Fenyin, was a person who saw money and opened his eyes.

Even if he prepared a generous gift, he went to Fenyin to visit Zhou Kaifang, so it was only a few days, and Zhou Kai went to Anyi to visit Shen Tugong in person.

In the end, the two decided to conceal it and not report it, and resold the grain from the root warehouse and the wet warehouse to the hands of the rich and powerful businessmen............

When the taxes in Hedong are collected in the coming year, the deficit between the root warehouse and the granary will be made up......

In this way, in just a few months, the grain of the entire Hedong has more than doubled, and more than 200 yuan can buy one stone of corn, and the price changes day by day.

Hedong County is only two or three days' road away from Chang'an, and Shentu Gong is naturally afraid that someone will come to Chang'an to sue him, and everything will be over by then.

In order not to be exposed, Shen Tu Gong even pulled all the officials in the entire Hedong into the water, even if Zhou Yangyou, the commander who had never dealt with him, Shen Tu Gong personally went to find him and pulled him down into the water.

In this way, the officials of the entire Hedong region, from the Taishou and Duwei with a rank ratio of 2,000 stones, to the small officials who served hundreds of stones in the year, all participated in the "feast" of buying and selling grain.

For those common people, Shen Tu Gong issued a strict order early on, and the officials of the counties were not allowed to open a road for the people, so that these Li people could not go out of the east of the river.

Later, in order to be safe, after consulting with Zhou Yangyou, he sent soldiers to strictly guard the road out of Hedong............

However, ordinary people can not enter and exit Hedong, but there are several feudal towns in Hedong, but at this time, Hou Zhou Yafu, the article of Jiangxian County, is even more favored by the Son of Heaven, and the official worships Taiwei.

If the matter of Hedong is known by him, he will not escape death.

In this way, Shentu Gong even sent people to keep an eye on whether there were people who were officials and came to Hedong.

With such a careful deployment, Shentu Gong felt that it was foolproof, but who would have thought that Zhang Cang, the former prime minister of Beiping, who had lived for more than 100 years, passed away, and there was an endless stream of family members who came to Hedong to mourn.

At first, Shen Tu Gong was also afraid that someone would come to the Son of Heaven to accuse him, so he sent someone to follow him.

But after several times, only people went to the Beiping Marquis Mansion to mourn, and no one looked at the people in Hedong County, so Shen Tugong was relieved.

However, people are not as good as heaven, Liu Qi, the son of heaven, sent Liu Rong to Hedong to mourn Zhang Cang, and Liu Qi, the son of heaven, ordered Liu Rong to hide his identity, and he could not swagger through the market as a prince, and as Jia Yi said, His Majesty informed several people about this, but did not inform the most important person - Hedong Taishou Shentu Gong............

In this way, as soon as Liu Rong and the others entered Hedong County, the people sent by Shentu Gong to monitor them inquired many times, and learned that they were people from the country of Dou Guang, Marquis of Zhangwu, so they put their minds at ease.

At this time, Shentu Gong was restless in the Anyi Taishou Mansion, and only hated himself for not inquiring clearly, and the person who came was Liu Rong, the eldest son of the emperor......

"I'm afraid that at this time, all the things in Fenyin have been reported to the Son of Heaven ............," Shen Tugong sighed.

Shen Tu Gong knew very well that what he might do at this moment to make amends was useless.

But even if you can't make it up, you still have to make it up, even if you can live one more day!

When even sent someone to prepare the car, to the east of Anyi City, the capital of Hedong Zhou Yang from the house.

As soon as he saw Zhou Yangyou, Shen Tugong said bluntly: "The eldest son of the emperor is here to Hedong, it is very likely that the matter of Hedong has been reported to the crown prince, I don't know what Zhou Duwei thinks, we should do this?" ”。

Zhou Yangyou smiled: "How can Shentu Taishou say this, I am a lieutenant, on the order of the Son of Heaven, acting for the military affairs of Hedong, and the government affairs of Hedong is the responsibility of Taishou, what do I do with this matter?" ”。

Hearing that Zhou Yang began to shirk his responsibilities, the angry Shen Tu Gong was furious on the spot, when he first collected the gold, he was not so open-minded.

Immediately, Shen Tugong got up and pointed at Zhou Yangyou and scolded: "Zhou Yangyou! At the beginning, you were involved in selling the grain of the official warehouse, but now if something happens, you have to bear it alone......

However, the amount of money for the sale of grain has indeed been recorded in the book one by one, and I am afraid that Zhou Duwei will not escape death at that time."

Zhou Yangyou didn't expect that Shen Tugong still had this hand, since receiving the report from Xu Teng, the order of Fenyin County, Zhou Yangyou was overjoyed.

He is the governor who has no power to order, and if such a big thing happens in Hedong, he will be punished for not reporting it at most, but Shen Tugong will definitely die.

However, listening to Shen Tu Gong's words, he actually recorded this in the book, Zhou Yangyou knew that the two of them were grasshoppers on a rope at the moment, and if Shen Tu Gong fell into the water, he would never end well............

When he said, "Then Shentu Taishou has a good way to transition this crisis?" ”。

"Ben Taishou just didn't have a good plan to come to the governor to discuss, if there is no good plan, I can't say that the angel sent by His Majesty will come to the east of the river."

In this way, after a period of silence between the two, Zhou Yangyou spoke first: "The most urgent thing today is that there is a shortage of nearly 200,000 stones of grain in the wet warehouse, if the grain in the wet warehouse can be replenished, even if Your Majesty learns of the drought in Hedong and the people are difficult to survive, you and I are at most guilty of dereliction of duty, and the crime will not lead to death."

Of course, Shen Tu Gong also knew what Zhou Yangyou said, but the people in Hedong were already poor and hungry, and it was impossible to collect 200,000 stone of grain in a few days............

"What Zhou Duwei said is true, but where to find 200,000 stone of grain?" , Shen Tu Gong sighed.

Hearing this, Zhou Yangyou immediately untied the sword on his waist, patted it on the bookcase and said: "Naturally, there is a place to find!" ”。

Shen Tugong was immediately overjoyed, and said to Zhou Yang with a hand: "Please also ask the captain to give advice."

In this way, I saw Zhou Yangyou sneering: "The sale of grain this time is all because of the heroes of Hedong, and Your Majesty has always sneered at the heroes of local counties and counties, and I think that these heroes in Hedong must have surplus grain!" ”。

In this way, Shen Tugong glanced at Zhou Yangyou, who had a cold face, and after some thought, "It seems that this is the only way to do it now."

After speaking, the two shouted in unison: "Someone! ”。

In this way, in just half an hour, the entire city of Anyi was filled with officials and soldiers.

However, these soldiers, under the leadership of the officials, saw that the rich families, whether they were powerful or not, could not help but say that they all rushed into their homes, arrested all the people in their families, and killed anyone who resisted.

Then came the torture and questioning of how much food was stored in his home and where it was.

In a few days, all the heroes and powerhouses in the entire city of Anyi were arrested, and 180,000 stone of grain were looted from these people's homes.

Although it is less than 200,000 stones, it is enough.

And Zhou Yangyou and Shen Tugong were not idle, and after the order to arrest Haoqiang, the two got up and rushed to the place where Liu Rong was stationed in Fenyin.

After receiving the letter of Anyi Order on the road, the two looked at each other and smiled, this crisis can be overcome!
