Chapter 123: Zhan Gong is unlucky (the third watch has arrived, what about the monthly pass?) )
Zan Jurun didn't let Li Zhongyi wait outside for a long time this time, and quickly called him into the public hall.
Li Zhongyi walked into the official hall, but saw that Zan Jurun's surroundings were full of officials from Kaifeng Mansion, and he thought to himself, what tricks should the surname Zan want to play, right?
If you come here, you will be safe, Li Zhongyi does not take the initiative to cause trouble, but whoever wants to deliberately stumble and harm others, he is not a vegetarian.
"I've seen Fujun." Li Zhongyi gave Zan Jurun a salute in accordance with the etiquette in the officialdom.
"Coming? Have a seat. Although Zan Jurun's attitude towards Li Zhongyi was still very cold, he actually rewarded the seat, which really did not surprise Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi sat on a chair near the door, quietly waiting for Zan Jurun's next words, in short, the soldiers will block, the water will flood, and the move will be dismantled.
If you have nothing to do, you must be a traitor or a thief, Li Zhongyi secretly added caution.
"Li Jinling is so capable, in just two months, he actually turned a mere Xiaoyaojin into a big port outside Kaifeng City." Zan Jurun put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Li Zhongyi with a smile.
Li Zhongyi had already sounded the alarm in his heart, he arched his hands and pretended to be humble and said: "The prince of the mansion is too ridiculous, the lower officials are just a little luckier, where is there so capable?" ”
Guo Chong, the right judge of Kaifeng Mansion on the side, suddenly interjected with a smile: "Li Jinling, don't be too modest, your reputation as a capable official has spread throughout Kaifeng Mansion." ”
"Yes, Li Jinling is so capable, this official naturally wants to reuse it." Zan Jurun suddenly smiled slightly, "Guo Ju." It seems that there is still a lack of a capable official in charge of clearing the acres of land in the house? ”
Guo Chong smiled: "Yes, yes, no one can calculate the big families in the city. How many fields are there, except for Li Jinling, I am afraid that there is no one else in this mansion who can do it. ”
Damn, you two two goods, are you going to kill Lao Tzu? Li Zhongyi's heart is like a mirror, this Zan and Guo are two. Obviously touting him, in fact, he wanted to push him into the fire pit.
There are many powerful people in Kaifeng City. Li Zhongyi is responsible for measuring the acres of land as the second minister, and if he doesn't clean it up successfully, Zan Jurun can't spare him.
After a successful cleanup, the problem is even greater. Zan Jurun has made a great achievement. He, Li Zhongyi, offended all the powerful people in Kaifeng City.
When a 2 minister became the "public enemy" in the officialdom of the Great Zhou, Li Zhongyi's fate did not need to be asked, and he was doomed to complete destruction, and the gods could not stop it.
"Xiaguan arithmetic is not good." Li Zhongyi sneered in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
Guo Chong smiled and said: "My subordinates, there are a few small officials who are good at arithmetic, and they can borrow you for a while, but you can drip it." ”
Li Zhongyi pretended to rack his brains. After snorting for a while, he said, "The lower official is stupid." lest I be deceived by the servants. ”
After Zan Jurun heard this, he smiled, what kind of reason is this? It seems that Li has exhausted his skills, and the more proud he is.
Last time, Li Zhongyi slapped Zan Jurun hard, how could Zan Jurun, who is the leader of Mr. Jingshi Taoism, endure it all the time?
"Whoever dares to neglect his duties will be severely punished by this government." Zan Jurun categorically wanted to cut off Li Zhongyi's retreat.
Guo Chong also followed the help and said: "Yes, whoever dares to deceive you, this sentence will not be lenient." ”
Some officials next to him looked a little unbearable, but they didn't dare to offend the "number one" Zan Jurun in person, so they had to sigh secretly, don't look around, don't dare to look at Li Zhongyi again.
"Hehe, this mansion has already played your majesty, and you are responsible for clearing the acres of land." Although Zan Jurun has read a lot of books, he is not a bookworm who does not eat the fireworks of the world at all.
Li Zhongyi's colleagues watched Li Zhongyi fall into the fire pit, about to be burned by the anger of many powerful people, somewhat with cold lips and teeth, and a sad sense of desolation.
Someone didn't pay attention, and actually sighed, but as a result, it immediately attracted the cold eyes of Zan Jurun, and everyone was warned that they didn't dare to make any extra moves.
Li Zhongyi sighed and said, "Gong Zan, do you really have to go down to measure the acres of land?" ”
"This official has never joked." Zan Jurun stared at Li Zhongyi coldly, as if admiring the remnants of the fish at the bottom of the kettle, can this cooked duck still fly to the sky?
"Gong Zan, have you really made it clear to you?" Li Zhongyi and Zan Jurun had already torn their faces anyway, and simply asked Zan aggressively.
"What is the status of this house? How can they deceive you into being a mere official? Zan Jurun was furious, and slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, making a piercing sound.
Guo Chong frowned and reprimanded Li Zhongyi: "What kind of attitude do you have, and is there a little bit of respect and inferiority?" ”
Li Zhongyi smiled softly and said: "Judge Guo, since you are the judge of Kaifeng Mansion, not only did you not advise the king of Zhanfu, but instead added fuel to the fire and helped him to bully the king, what should you be guilty of?" ”
"Ahh As soon as Li Zhongyi said this, the officials in the hall were immediately shocked, staring at Li Zhongyi one by one, as if peach blossoms had grown on his face, and they needed to be studied carefully.
"Extremely arrogant, come here, fork this person out of this house." Zan Jurun was furious, slammed the table, and shouted for someone to come in and arrest Li Zhongyi.
Facing the wolf-like errand soldier, Li Zhongyi suddenly shouted: "Slow! The officers couldn't help but stop.
In front of everyone, Li Zhongyi took out a yellow piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it, raised it with both hands, and spread it out between his hands.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is this?" Li Zhongyi stood up from his seat, held the yellow paper in both hands, and walked in front of everyone present in turn.
Li Zhongyi deliberately walked very slowly, the purpose was to let everyone card the content on the yellow paper clearly, and not a word was missed.
"Ahh The first official to read the contents of the paper involuntarily exclaimed.
"Yike...... How is this the case? The second official, who read the contents of the yellow paper clearly, couldn't help but gasp.
By the time everyone saw the contents of the yellow paper clearly, many people had already looked at them with extraordinary pity. Turned to look at Zan Jurun.
"Fuzun, you see clearly, what is this?" Li Zhongyi deliberately ignored Guo Chong. directly held the yellow paper in front of Zan Jurun's eyes.
Zan Jurun already had an inexplicable feeling of disgust in his heart, and when he saw that Chai Rong ordered Li Zhongyi to ask for leave to buy food, he couldn't help but feel that disaster was coming.
Especially, when Zan Jurun saw that Chai Rong's special private seal appeared on the yellow paper. Immediately felt that he was in great trouble.
"Gong Zhan, as the Kaifeng Mansion, you are pretending to be Shangjiao. This is a crime of deception. Li Zhongyi looked at Zan Jurun, who was shaking his body for a while, and spit out a word, "Zan Gong, you are pleading guilty to Your Majesty by yourself." Or are you waiting for the impeachment of Goshi? ”
"Alas. I never thought that Mr. Daoist would dare to lie and deceive the king, Zan Jurun, you are simply ill-intentioned. Guo Chong suddenly inserted a pole, and on the premise that he didn't see the content of the yellow paper, he actually turned against him, and instead launched a fierce attack on Zan Jurun.
Villain. The people in the hall are not all Zan Jurun's people, and some of them are still the eyes of the Chai Rong faction who secretly monitors the movements of Kaifeng Mansion. However, everyone unanimously despised Guo Chong, like a chameleon.
Li Zhongyi was also forced to have no choice, otherwise, he would not have come up with a killer weapon, but forced Zan Jurun to a dead end.
The lesson of not dying when fighting a snake, but being bitten by a snake, Li Zhongyi has already kept it in mind. Therefore, after he lured Zan Jurun into the trap, he decisively let Chai Rong's warrant be seen by everyone present, the purpose was to firmly nail Zan Jurun to the pillar of shame of the bully, and it would be difficult to turn over in the future.
"Colleagues, I'm sorry, please report your names and official secrets, so as not to leak His Majesty's secret order." Li Zhongyi deliberately dragged everyone into the water, allowing them to testify while not daring to leak the secret.
In fact, even if you want to keep the matter of buying so much grain secret, there is no secret to keep it secret.
This is because, after a large amount of grain is circulating in the market, even if the big grain merchants think with their toes, they must know that someone is secretly buying grain.
"Hmph, the old man will take the initiative to ask His Majesty for guilt." Zan Jurun carelessly lost Jingzhou, and actually fell in love with Li Zhongyi's way, he was full of remorse, he knew that he shouldn't have intimidated Li Zhongyi, saying that he had already played Chai Rong.
As a result, in the end, he lifted the stone and smashed his own foot.
Zan Jurun knew very well in his heart that Chai Rong's favorite person to know the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion was not him, but someone else.
It's just that because of the fierce competition between the several factions in the DPRK and China, Chai Rong put Zan Jurun in his current position out of consideration for balancing the power structure, just to block everyone's mouth.
Within a few days, Zan Jurun was dismissed from the errand of Zhikaifeng Mansion and returned to his hometown in advance.
Not only that, Zan Jurun originally had a good reputation as a Taoist gentleman, but under the secret blows of political enemies, he became a typical scum of Shilin.
Since he took over the task of buying grain, Li Zhongyi naturally had to take it to heart, although the "jade liquid incense" was sold at a high price and could be exchanged for some copper coins, it could not be produced on a large scale.
The reason is actually quite simple. Within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, due to the low grain production, there was a strict shortage of grain in all parts of the country. There is not enough food needed to make wine, and Li Zhongyi is also a clever woman who has no rice to cook.
Even if Li Zhongyi raised enough raw materials, if he used them to make wine, his head would probably be cut off by Chai Rong first.
Of course, Chai Rong and Li Zhongyi actually understood in their hearts that Kaifeng City would not have a problem raising 300,000 stone grain, even if it was 800,000 stone.
Therefore, it would be more accurate to say that there was grain in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but all of this grain was hoarded in the warehouses or cellars of the magnates.
If it was just one or two big grain merchants who were monopolizing, Chai Rong could have cut off their heads and copied their grain.
But the problem is that almost all of the top elites in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty were big landlords. Among these powerful people, there are quite a few people who have been secretly colluding with grain merchants, buying low and selling high, speculating, and making a lot of black money. (To be continued!)
ps: Eight consecutive days of 10,000-word updates, it's really tiring! Si has to go to work every day, and he relies on coding words until the early hours of the morning every night. In today's monthly ticket list, Sikong doesn't expect it anymore, and it is very likely that he will be thrown out of the top ten, and Sikong has become a famous tragedy in the author group.
Now, I just ask the brothers to see that Sikong is quite diligent, and reward a few more monthly passes, which can be regarded as a little encouragement!
