Li Zhongyi picked up the teacup and said lightly: "It's not early, everyone please go back to handle official business, how did you handle it before, and how do you handle it now." For matters that are really uncertain, He Tuiguan and Judge Liu are both in the palace, so they can go to consult anytime and anywhere. ”

Everyone in the lobby couldn't help but look at each other, and for a while, everyone's eyes looked at Liu Jinshan.

Liu Jinshan secretly complained, he wanted Li Zhongyi to know the rules in Kaifeng Mansion. Who would have thought that Li Zhongyi would really not take over the big seal by deliberately using his words.

If Li Zhongyi does not accept the seal, he is not the official prefect of Kaifeng, so he naturally has a reason to shirk and handle various government affairs.

However, Li Zhongyi took advantage of the edict of the Son of Heaven to order people to block the entire Kaifeng Mansion and control everyone's freedom of movement.

In this way, Li Zhongyi actually held the power, but he deliberately picked on it, obviously planning to make Liu Jinshan look good.

Liu Jinshan is really repentant now, he shouldn't, he shouldn't, and the most important thing is that he wants to take advantage of Li Zhongyi's unstable foothold to highlight his own importance.

Li Zhongyi has arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, and the predecessor Zhang Fuzun has not handed over the seal, so if there is no accident in the mansion, once something big happens, Liu Jinshan, the legal seal protector, must not be able to eat and walk around.

Li Zhongyi didn't pay attention to Liu Jinshan, he got up slowly, and instructed Cai Zhangbiao and Liu Guoding with a smile: "The sky is about to brighten, and every neighborhood in the city must arrange at least one soldier, and be sure to suppress the people in time." ”

Cai Zhangbiao was pondering this, and after listening to Li Zhongyi's instructions, he immediately put his heart back in his stomach.

It's just that Cai Zhangbiao doesn't quite understand. So he cautiously asked Li Zhongyi: "Duan Minggong, the lower officials are dull, if so many people are arranged in every neighborhood, the government will be empty?" ”

Glancing at Sun Guoding, who had been pricking up his ears, Li Zhongyi smiled faintly. Asked Cai Zhangbiao rhetorically: "When thieves make trouble, is it easier to deal with two or three gangs, or is it easier to deal with hundreds of thieves gathered together?" ”

Cai Zhangbiao replied with a smile: "Naturally, there are few people and it is easy to deal with...... Well, the lower officials understood, and they strictly obeyed Duan Minggong's edict. ”

After Cai Zhangbiao went down to arrange the task, Li Zhongyi called Sun Guoding in front of him again. He said: "In the capital, there are nearly 100 streets and alleys, and the government orders you to arrange people and horses to go down, based on a team of 50 people." Patrol in shifts. ”

"Whoa." Sun Guoding replied very loudly, but he was afraid that Li Zhongyi would not be able to hear clearly.

In fact, Sun Guoding's heart has always been a little uneasy, worried that Li Zhongyi will settle accounts with him after the autumn. Now, since Li Zhongyi continues to entrust Sun Gong with important tasks, he has gradually let go.

Seeing Sun Guoding turn around and want to leave, Li Zhongyi stopped him with a smile and instructed: "Your soldiers and horses." Try not to be too scattered, you have to form a group, so that you can deal with traitors and troublemakers. Let's put it this way. Cai Junxun's soldiers and horses control the entrances of each street, and your soldiers and horses patrol control all streets, so as to nip all kinds of misdeeds in the bud. ”

Li Zhongyi found that although Sun Guoding had been nodding, his eyes were still a little confused, obviously knowing it. I don't know why.

"Sun Junxun, let's say that Sweet Water Lane 2 is over there. There are a few traitors who rob good people with knives, and we will know the news. Then transfer troops from the government to suppress it, how likely do you think it is that the thief will escape after he succeeds? Li Zhongyi's patient teaching made the officials who were still waiting in the lobby feel unusually surprised.

Many of these bureaucrats have been in the Kaifeng government for five or six years, and they have never seen any government monarchs, and they have the patience of Li Zhongyi.

After listening to Li Zhongyi's detailed explanation, his eyes lit up violently, and he blurted out: "Xia Guan understands, if there is an official army nearby at the time of the incident, then the thief will definitely not be able to succeed, and he can only be arrested." ”

Li Zhongyi nodded with a smile and said with a smile: "Since you understand, let's go down and arrange it." When he spoke, he seemed very casual, as if he and Sun Guoding were old acquaintances who had worked together for many years.

It is also strange to say that the more Li Zhongyi seems to be very casual, the more Sun Guoding feels at ease.

Sun Guoding arched his hands and said, "After the final general is arranged, he must rush back immediately and wait for Duan Minggong's dispatch." "There is real affection in and out of the words.

Li Zhongyi got what he really wanted, and he was naturally very satisfied, and he smiled and handed a order sign to Sun Guoding's palm.

Sun Guoding left the lobby quickly, Li Zhongyi turned around, glanced at the large group of bureaucrats present, and said lightly: "The commander of the defense army will come with this mansion, and the rest of the benevolent brothers will disperse." ”

After Li Zhongyi gave the order, he turned around, took square steps, turned straight through the lobby, and went to the back hall of the daily office.

Li Yunxiao's subordinates have already cleaned up the official hall of the back hall exclusive to the prince, and even the tea has been brewed.

Li Zhongyi sat behind the bookcase, and just picked up the teacup and drank a small sip of the fragrant tea, he heard Yuan Sui report, "I know that Judge Liu in the left hall is asking to see you in front of the door." ”

Hey, hey, he's finally here!

Li Zhongyi put down the teacup in his hand and ordered: "Please invite him in, and you will all step back." ”

"Whoa." Except for Li Yunxiao, all the guards in the house quietly withdrew from the house.

After Liu Jinshan entered the door, he saw that Li Yunxiao was the only one in the room except for Li Zhongyi, who was sitting behind the bookcase, he hesitated slightly, immediately slammed to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The lower official is guilty, please punish Duan Minggong harshly." ”

Li Zhongyi didn't speak immediately, he picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and after moistening his throat, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Why did Liu Juan say this?" ”

Before Liu Jinshan came, he had hesitated for a long time, and finally saw Li Zhongyi grasp the key point and deal with things decisively and quickly, so he made up his mind that he must resolve the knot left just now in time.

"Xia Guan has no heart to fight, he just wants to gain the attention of Duan Minggong." After Liu Jinshan opened his mouth with difficulty, he had no scruples in his heart, and blamed himself all the way, "The lower officials are really stupid, I don't know that Duan Minggong has long been proficient in government affairs, and he is light on weight, and he can see thousands of miles ......."

Regarding Liu Jinshan's sycophants, Li Zhongyi kept laughing and silent, but nodded frequently to encourage him.

People in officialdom will always be insincere on some occasions, Li Zhongyi directly filtered out all Liu Jinshan's nonsense, but the answer he got was obvious: Liu someone wants to take refuge here!

The language of the government allows exaggeration, as long as the core is in line with the correct politics, who will dwell too much on the slightly exaggerated details?

After laughing at a lot of sycophancy made by Liu Jinshan, Li Zhongyi smiled and instructed Li Yunxiao: "Move a chair and ask Liu Juan to sit down and talk slowly." ”

Liu Jinshan, who has been up and down in his heart, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he lost face in the dark room, it was very likely to obtain Li Zhongyi's understanding, so as to win the linzi who kept his position.

Liu Jinshan leaned sideways, with only half of his buttocks next to the chair, as if a primary school student was listening to the lecture of the teaching director, looking well-behaved and respectful.

Since Liu Jinshan was soft-faced on the surface, Li Zhongyi also smiled more sincerely, and he said affectionately: "There is no need to mention the past. When I first arrived, there were many government affairs in the government, and there were still many places where I needed to rely on Liu Juan, and I asked Liu Juan to give me a lot of advice. ”

Li Yunxiao on the side was silent on the surface, but secretly funny in her heart. Li Zhongyi's remarks, in his opinion, are actually this: Comrade Xiaosong is a good comrade.

When Li Zhongyi said this kind of thing, there were true and false, and there were also half-truths and half-truths, depending on the distance of the relationship.

To put it bluntly, that is, listen to his words, watch his deeds, and slowly increase trust and enhance feelings.

Now that the posture has been done enough, the following things are easy to talk about, Li Zhongyi waited for Li Yunxiao to serve tea, and asked Liu Jinshan with a smile: "I don't know what Brother Liu thinks about the fire in the Hucaojia Pavilion?" ”

Liu Jinshan thought carefully for a while, and then said carefully: "Don't hide it from Duan Minggong, the lower officials think that this matter is quite suspicious." ”

"Oh?" Li Zhongyi pretended to be very interested, holding the bookcase in his hand, and staring intently at Liu Jinshan's face.

Li Yunxiao saw Li Zhongyi's style, and already understood in her heart that the prince must have already succeeded, but he just wanted to take the opportunity to see if this Liu judge was sincerely obedient, or was he false and wronged?

But then again, the government has been blocked, and all the officials in the government have become turtles in the urn.

Even if Liu Jinshan did not provide useful clues, with the ability to pry open his mouth that Li Yunxiao had learned and mastered, he was not worried at all that he would not be able to get the confessions of Hu Cao and the others.

Liu Jinshan arched his hand and explained: "Don't dare to deceive Duanming Gong, when the predecessor Zhang Fuzun was in office, the lower officials vaguely heard a little rumor, saying that there are many people in Beijing and the land is narrow, and it needs to be expanded for dozens of miles. Since the news came out, people have continued to come to the government to submit petitions, basically accusing the county officials of colluding with unscrupulous gentry and wantonly buying the farmland of peasant households. ”

Li Zhongyi touched his chin and thought about it carefully, if what Liu Jinshan said was true, then the truth was simply about to come out.

Once Kaifeng City is expanded, the value of the land in the city and the land outside the city is very different.

The objective law determines that the larger the city, the more people in the city, the more concentrated and vigorous the demand for creating a city.

Then, businessmen with a keen sense of smell will also flock to it.

This will have an undoubted "black hole" effect on the surrounding and even the country's manpower, capital, handicraft goods and service industries.

The more businessmen there are, the more active the transactions in the market will be. The real estate in Kaifeng City, especially the commercial shops, is also more valuable.

However, after burning Hu Cao's cabinet files, can't you find out the truth?

Li Zhongyi smiled coldly, and a famous sentence came to his mind: From the masses, to the masses! (To be continued)
