"Hey, hey, it's a trifle!"

Lu Chen smiled slightly, this kind of thing is very important, Cai Bi must cooperate, and when the time comes, it will be okay to say that the spy has not been found.

Checking the spies is not an uncommon thing for the Fuhu Army, as the trump card army of Xiao State, many spies from other countries will try their best to get the news of the Fuhu Army.

For this reason, the Fuhu army often inspected the area around the camp, from sending people to secretly observe and check the household registration, which were all the usual methods of the Fuhu army.

Whether or not we can find out the conspiracy is another matter, in short, all localities must cooperate with the actions of the Fuhu Army.

It doesn't matter if you don't find the so-called spies of other countries this time, it won't be useful for Cai Bi to make trouble in the imperial court, for the hundred officials of the imperial court, the Fuhu Army is a hedgehog, no one dares to touch the eyebrows of the Fuhu Army, and no one dares to say that the Fuhu Army is not.

Except that because the Fuhu Army is an army directly under the direct command of Emperor Xiao, all rights are given by Emperor Xiao,

Also because of the outstanding achievements of the Fuhu Army, whether it is the invasion of Wuyan in the north, or the attack of the Xiang State in the west, or the rebellion of the Japanese in the east, there is never a shortage of soldiers of the Fuhu Army on the battlefield to defend the territory.

On the contrary, Cai Bi not only did not cooperate with the actions of the Nanfu Ya, but made stumbling blocks everywhere, which is really not what a subordinate official should do to his boss.

The thirty percent rent promoted by Situ Yi can be said to be a great favor to the poor people in Dangzhou, and Lu Chen, who is also from the poor people, must support this kind of thing.

The Cai family and the Situ family have always been at odds, which is not a secret in officialdom, but Cai Bi will oppose the Situ family in everything, and completely disregarding the life and death of the people makes Lu Chen feel very disgusted.

"By the way, there may be people in the city who will be short of food after a while, so you have to prepare early."

Lu Chen thought about it and reminded Situ Yi.

"Lack of food? Why? ”

Lu Chen suddenly mentioned to himself that there would be a shortage of food in the city, but Situ Yi didn't react for a long time.

"No, it's a bumper harvest this year!"

There are no abnormal natural disasters this year, in general, it can be regarded as a good weather, and the rice in the field will be a bumper harvest, Lu Chen actually said that there will be a shortage of food in the city, and Su Ce is also at a loss.

"Isn't there still rice in the fields of the government now?"

Although the fields that Ge Chixiang and Chen Suyuan originally occupied have been taken over by the government, the people on their fields are all planted with rice.

"Do you know what happened to the people of the state in the past?"

Lu Chen asked the three of them again.

"How?"

I don't know the specific situation, but they still know the general situation, but they don't know what Lu Chen means.

"In the past, Ge Chixiang and Chen Suyuan charged seventy percent of the rent for the land, which was the same as the Wang family and the Sun family, but almost all the grain they harvested was sold to the Wang family and the Sun family, and the people had the remaining thirty percent of the harvest after paying taxes, and there was not much left, so they could only borrow grain from the Wang family and the Sun family, and there were not a few borrowed in recent years."

This is a kind of dead cycle, the cost of renting land is too high, there is no surplus grain to maintain a living, they have to borrow from the landlord's family, and if they can't pay it back, they have to continue to rent the landlord's land, the Wang family and the Sun family use this method to hang the people, Lu Chen explained to the three of them.

"There is collusion between the two families of Wang and Sun and the previous government."

This problem has been seen before, but the three of them really don't know about the people borrowing grain.

"It's a good thing for the people that you only collect 30% of the rent, and now there is indeed rice in the fields of the government, even if you don't collect their rent, it may only be enough for them to pay back the grain to the Wang and Sun families."

Regarding this problem, when he came back from the Dangzhou Yamen, Lu Chen thought about it carefully.

"But you only collect 30% of the rent, it is really not a good thing for the Wang family and the Sun family, those people who no longer rent their land, will definitely be urged by the Wang and Sun families, some people owe less, can pay back, but some are not finished, once the Wang family and the Sun family raise the price of rice, how many people in the city can afford to buy rice?"

I have to say that Fu Enhao proposed the method of 30% rent, and the step was really big.

"Miscalculated!"

Fu Enhao was shocked by Lu Chen's point, thinking that this method could completely solve the problems of the people in Dangzhou, but he pitted the people.

"The 30% rent is still ......"

Su Ce was a little shaken, where would he find so much grain to distribute to the people of the prefecture when the time came.

"It must be promoted!"

Before Su Ce finished speaking, Situ Yi replied affirmatively,

"Long pain is better than short pain, and it has happened, the Wang family and the Sun family will definitely take action."

Unless they collect seventy percent of the rent and sell the grain they collect to the Wang family and the Sun family, they will also attack the people.

But if seventy percent of the rent is really charged, then the three of them are no different from Ge Chixiang and Chen Suyuan.

"But how are we going to find so much food?"

Speaking of which, the problem lies in the food, and as long as there is enough food, the problem will be solved.

"This ......"

Situ Yi was speechless for a while, they didn't have the money to buy so much food.

"The simplicity of food depends on whether he is willing to help or not."

Su Ce and Situ Yi were worried about Lu Chen also thought of it, and he set his eyes on Fu Enhao.

"Me? Brother Lu Chen, don't tease, the two of them know the situation of my family, one is not a landlord, and the other is not a grain seller. ”

Seeing the three of them looking at him, Fu Enhao was shocked, if it weren't for His Majesty giving his father a boost, whether he could feed so many people in the house was a problem, where could he make up so much food for the people at the beginning.

"Of course you can't, but your daughter-in-law can, it depends on whether you are willing to beg her."

Lu Chen has also heard about the situation of the Fu family, but he is not referring to the Fu family.

"Yes, how did I forget, Xiu'er's sister's family also has a grain business."

After listening to Lu Chen's explanation, Su Cemao suddenly opened.

"Is this okay?"

Fu Enhao was a little stunned, he hadn't married Xin Xiu'er yet, would the Xin family help him like this?

And asked Xin Xiu'er, he was a little embarrassed, after all, in the original world, his family was the richest man in the ancient city of Luojing, and his father relied on his hard-working hands to make him a rich second generation, what would he need to ask a woman for help?

"It's up to you if you can, Sister Xiu'er is the favorite daughter of the shopkeeper."

Lu Chen has a good personal relationship with Xin Shuren, and he also knows a little about the situation of the Xin family.

Situ Yi and Su Ce also nodded, Xin Xiu'er was really favored in the Xin family, and they turned their expectant eyes to Fu Enhao.

"Then I'll try."

couldn't bear the blazing eyes of the three people, Fu Enhao could only agree, and he didn't have a bottom in his heart.

"I'll say okay first, if you can't make it, don't blame me."

"Don't worry, as long as you open your mouth, you will definitely be able to do it."

Lu Chen said without hesitation, he is not untargeted, Emperor Xiao can give Xin Xiu'er and Fu Enhao marriage, and the Xin family must have contributed behind it.

can marry his favorite daughter to Fu Enhao, and he knows that Xin Zhourui is very optimistic about dealing with Enhao, and it is not difficult for the rich Xin family to come up with food that can solve the problem for the people of the state.

"Brother Lu Chen, so sure?"

"No, all three of us are sure."

With Xin Zhourui's love for Xin Xiu'er, as long as Xin Xiu'er told him, the matter would definitely be completed, and Situ Yi and Su Ce were also convinced of this.

"The sooner you prepare, the better, after all, the autumn harvest will be coming soon."

When the autumn harvest comes, the Wang family and the Sun family will definitely poison the people, and maybe the people will not have the food to pay taxes every year.

At that time, if there is no food relief from outside, there will really be a famine, which is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

Lu Chen didn't stay in the city to eat, and left Dangzhou City after the yamen released the yamen, and he couldn't leave the barracks for too long.

"Looks like I still don't think about it!"

After Lu Chen left, Fu Enhao said with emotion.

If it weren't for Lu Chen, he wouldn't have known that he was about to face such a big difficulty, and he really took things for granted before.

And Lu Chen is really a person who can't see through him, he looks very arrogant, and some of the movements are also that person's feelings, but his mind is really good.

"Brother Lu Chen has always been a very strategic person."

Hearing Fu Enhao's emotion, Situ Yi said slowly.

"All the time?"

Fu Enhao didn't know what happened to Lu Chen before, but no matter what, he was taught this time.

"When he was young, he put the capital Yin into the prison of the Criminal Department, and Prime Minister Cai couldn't save him, and he also made the Criminal Department at that time a miasma."

This incident was told to Situ Yi by Situ Jingping, that is, after that incident, the Criminal Department was reshuffled, and Situ Jingping and Guo Wei began to grasp the real power of the Criminal Department.

"Aang? Such a ×! ”
