Chapter 213: Latent Harvest
Jingxi Road, Dongping City.
Wen Huanzhang stood on the roof of the Taishou Mansion with his hands behind his back, with a solemn expression on his face.
All the traces left by Dong Ping have been demolished and cleaned, and the system of the Great Song Dynasty has been restored.
Even the signboard of the Governor's Palace was dismantled by him and used as firewood.
And the development model in the city has also been reversed under his instructions.
Above all, of course, is investment in agriculture and education.
Wen Huanzhang, who was born in the landlord class, naturally did not want to waste resources in these places.
"Wen Taishou, we have already arranged the things you explained."
Qin Ming and Huang Xin walked over from behind, clasped their hands into fists and bent down slightly.
"So, how are those things going now?" Wen Huanzhang didn't turn his head, and said indifferently.
Qin Ming and Huang Xin each glanced at each other, sighed softly, and Qin Ming said first: "Wen Taishou, this matter ...... Not too optimistic about that. ”
"Why is that?"
Wen Huanzhang's voice gradually deepened: "Is it because those landlords didn't follow my instructions to develop, or is there something wrong with the arrangements in the city?"
Huang Xin shook his head slightly, and said in a heavy tone: "My lord, with all due respect, I am afraid that the current situation this time is no longer beyond our control, and none of the landlords outside the city are willing to develop production according to the previous system, to be precise, it is all kinds of shirk."
"What did you say?" Wen Huanzhang turned around suddenly, his face was full of gloomy emotions for the first time, as if he couldn't bear it anymore.
Qin Ming stepped forward a few steps and said in a low voice: "According to the investigation of his subordinates, those landlords and merchants in the city seem to have colluded, and they are privately saying that the production model we arranged is not as good as Dong Ping, so they are unwilling to contribute."
"And now that more than half of the merchants in the city have left, the current tax revenue can't even maintain basic education, and the people are making trouble all day long because they have to spend their own money to study and see a doctor!"
"How unreasonable!"
Wen Huanyan snorted on the side: "Then Dong Ping doesn't know what kind of conspiracy and tricks he played, what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into those mud legs, he can actually make them so desperate!"
Huang Xin also lowered his voice and said, "My lord, why don't we just grab a few thorns and kill them, kill chickens and monkeys, and prevent future troubles?"
Wen Huanzhang frowned, but didn't say anything.
Qin Ming also said: "Wen Taishou, Dong Ping had prepared a few days ago, so he took away all the money, grain, soldiers and horses, although those people and money and grain were swallowed up by the Liangshan thief Dong Shuang, but Dong Ping is still missing, if we can't put the city in order, I'm afraid it will ......."
"That's right, brother, we can't drag it out any longer!" Wen Huanyan gritted his teeth, clenched his hands and said, "According to the little sister, I'll help you deal with this mess, you can go back to Qingzhou to recuperate for a while."
"No way!" Wen Huanzhang shook his head, his brows were almost twisted into a line, and he said in a deep voice: "How can the arrangement of the imperial court be freely disposed of here?"
"Qin Ming and Huang Xin listen to orders!"
Wen Huanzhang's voice gradually sank: "Order the two of you and the two brothers Dang Shiying to go to Qingzhou, take half of the money and grain from the treasury, and then buy grain and grass at a high price from merchants from all over Jingxi Road, and those who are willing to come to the city for development will be given three years of tax exemption and enjoy many privileges."
"You must restore the normal operation of the city's economic order within three months, even if you lose money, you must completely solve the mess left by Dong Ping."
After speaking, Wen Huanzhang climbed the nearby railing, panting slightly, and it could be seen from his eyes that he was obviously physically exhausted.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Wen Huanyan ran up in three steps and two steps, and helped Wen Huanzhang, but found that Douda's sweat was dripping from his forehead.
"It's all those Diao people, a bunch of ignorant people!" Wen Huanyan gritted his teeth and shouted: "We help them like this, use the national law of the Great Song Dynasty to help them, they don't admit it, and openly and secretly oppose you, brother!"
"That's it, no need to say it." Wen Huanzhang smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "This is my business, if I can't even solve this problem, why should I stay in this position?"
"But you haven't rested for five days and five nights!" Wen Huanyan bit his lip lightly and said in a low voice.
"It's okay, I'll just rest for a while." Wen Huanzhang waved his hand, and just wanted to speak, but heard a group of noisy voices coming from below.
"We want justice, not oppression!"
"Down with those bureaucrats, kill those who bully us!"
"Wen Huanzhang comes out, we want Lord Zhendong to come back and be an official, don't be too shitty with this!"
"Lord Dong is not guilty, hurry up and let Lord Dong go!"
"If you don't let Master Dong go again, we'll tear down this bullshit and guard the mansion!"
For a time, crowds of people spontaneously organized themselves and marched around the city shouting slogans and banners.
Wen Huanyan stood on tiptoe and looked down, but the scene in front of her made her angry.
I saw that the two brothers of Dang Shiying and several civil officials in the city were tied up by the angry people and patrolled the streets there!
And when those officers and soldiers wanted to stop the suppression, they didn't expect that these militiamen had been trained for a long time, all of them were well-organized, and their martial arts were highly skilled.
"Damn, these people are so lawless!" Wen Huanyan cut off the nearby railing with a sword, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Qin Ming, Huang Xin, you quickly take people to arrest these people and put them in prison!"
Qin Ming and Huang Xin both looked at each other, completely unsure of how to act.
"Rejuvenation, don't make trouble!" Wen Huanzhang wiped the sweat on his head, gritted his teeth and said, "You guys hurry up and go down with me to quell the turmoil!"
After speaking, he took Qin Ming and Huang Xin and prepared to go downstairs.
"But......" Wen Huanyan gritted his teeth unconvinced.
"Okay, you will go back to Qingzhou for me today, and you are still needed to govern there!" Wen Huanzhang turned around, and said in a low voice: "Remember what I gave you, be a Taishou."
"Take a good look at Wu Yong, report to me as soon as there is any trouble, remember, you are not allowed to act without permission, otherwise I Wen Huanzhang will not have you as a sister!"
Wen Huanzhang's voice came from afar, but in an instant, the figure of this young man had already arrived downstairs.
Wen Huanyan bit her lip unwillingly, as if she was making some difficult choice.
After hesitating for a moment, she put her sword into its scabbard, and when she turned around, the girl's figure had disappeared from the top of the building.
In the evening, Wen Huanzhang finished the day's work and dragged his tired body back to the house.
"Husband, have you finished today's official business?" Mrs. Wen stepped forward, brought Wen Huanzhang a cup of tea and asked.
"It's almost over, those people have been persuaded by me to go back." Wen Huanzhang took a sip of tea, sat down, sighed and said, "By the way, what about Huan Yan?"
"Sister Yan, she has already gone back." Mrs. Wen sighed, wiped her tears and said, "Why are you suffering? The imperial court transferred you to such a place, why do you work so hard? ”
Wen Huanzhang shook his head slightly, didn't say anything, and picked up the letter left by Wen Huanyan nearby.
Soon, his brow was furrowed.
Then, countless small snake-like green tendons had emerged from him, as if they were about to burst at any moment.
The few lines of small words on the letter, in the light of the setting sun, seemed to shimmer with golden light.
"Mr. Wen, Sister Ling is in a safe situation now, if you don't want anything wrong, please be honest, don't cross the line, don't measure yourself, Shadow Sky has killed thousands of people since its establishment a hundred years ago, but it has never missed."
At the same time, outside the Imperial City.
"Commander Chu, you are here, Captain Gao and Commander Wang are already waiting in the Qinglong Palace." A lieutenant stepped forward with a smile and said, "Please come here, please."
"No problem." Chu Jianglou smiled and followed him towards the Blue Dragon Palace.
Soon, the two of them had arrived at the edge of a bamboo forest, and the lieutenant was walking in front of him defenselessly, and a sharp pain suddenly came from the back of his head, and he felt that it was dark in front of him, and he had fallen down.
Chu Jianglou tied up the fainting man, poured some requiem medicine on him, threw him into the depths of a rockery, changed into his clothes and blended into the forbidden army, patrolling around the palace.
Seeing that he was near the imperial room, Chu Jianglou's eyes were shocked, and he exerted his strength under his legs, and by the dark night, he had already broken away from the team in an instant, and rushed to the courtyard of the imperial room, next to a big tree by the window.
And the ranks of the forbidden army were walking drowsily, not even noticing that there was one person missing.
After all, these soldiers are busy playing mahjong with prostitutes during the day, and they are busy going back to continue fighting after work at night, so it is naturally impossible to have the spirit at such a time.
Chu Jianglou looked at the staggering team, he just laughed secretly in his heart, he looked up, took a deep breath, his legs slammed hard, and in an instant, he had already climbed the thickest trunk.
As soon as Chu Jianglou's arm was forced, the whole person flipped up, and then went up a few more vertically, and easily reached the top of this ten-zhang tall tree.
He looked nearby, in the dark night, only the roof of the imperial house in front of him was close in front of him, Chu Jianglou secretly estimated the distance, controlled the center of gravity, climbed the eaves of the roof with a jump, and climbed up with a single effort.
Arriving at the center of the roof, Chu Jianglou carefully uncovered some of the tiles and watched the situation below through the gap.
Zhao Ji was walking around the room, obviously anxious.
"Your Majesty, are you still thinking about Dong Ping's affairs?" Li Gang asked with a frown.
Although Zhao Ji didn't speak, the emotion in his eyes told everyone the anger in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Wen Huanzhang has already sent hundreds of pieces of evidence, and Dong Ping's rebellion has been undoubtedly implemented!" Li Gang spread out his hands and said in an excited tone: "If we don't want him all over the country again, this person will definitely be a huge threat in the future."
Zhao Ji said angrily: "Can you let me think quietly!" That Dong Ping has always respected the imperial court, worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty for several years, first pacified Shandong, and then exterminated the rebellion of the bandits in the Central Plains. ”
Zhao Gou saw the fierce argument between the two, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still wanted to say something.
"In that case, Your Majesty, do you know that Gao Yu has sent Wu Yong to Shandong to encircle and suppress Dong Ping?" Li Gang persuaded excitedly: "Gao Yu doesn't take Your Majesty in his eyes so much, why don't you sit back and watch Dong Ping and Gao Yu lose both, and we can sit back and reap the benefits?"
Zhao Gou also persuaded: "Father, Dong Ping is indeed loyal and patriotic, and his son has heard Taishi Cai praise him many times, presumably this is a misunderstanding, we still have to investigate it carefully!"
Li Gang said again: "The prince's words are wrong! Dong Ping's power is huge, he has a lot of troops, and he is divided into one side, if he is left alone, it will definitely pose a huge threat to the throne of the Great Song Dynasty and His Majesty, and now the evidence is conclusive, I think it is just right to kill him to prevent future troubles! ”
Zhao Gou said angrily: "Gao Taiwei is a loyal minister, he first ordered Liangshan, and then destroyed Cheng Wanli, who rebelled and defected to the enemy, how can he wronged a good person?" In the words of the Prime Minister......"
"Okay, listen to me!"
Zhao Ji's voice made the two of them consciously stop arguing and focus on him.
"I've made up my mind! Let's wait and see what happens, and tell Gao Taiwei not to do anything to Dong Ping, and if there are any more people who frame Gao Ping in the future, they will all be held accountable! ”
After Zhao Ji finished speaking, he waved his hand and prepared to walk out the door.
"Sha Sha!"
A fine puff of dust fell on the heads of the three of them.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
