Chapter 591: Parents Official (II)
Seeing Lan Ziyi's ugly face, the scribe didn't dare to talk nonsense, but buried his head and took Lan Ziyi to the yamen of the Taishou Mansion.
Lan Ziyi has been to the old capital Taishoufu, and the last time he came here, he didn't leave a good impression on Lan Ziyi, and this time he came to Lan Ziyi's intuition was even worse.
After the scribe led Lan Ziyi to the door, other people came out to greet him, and the people who came introduced Lan Ziyi into the back office, and finally came to the place where Luo Yingmin settled after turning around.
The doorman led Lan Ziyi to the door and stopped, and at the same time reported inside:
"Master, Wei Hou is here."
Lan Ziyi didn't wait for Luo Yingmin to greet him inside, so he took a few other people to open the curtain and enter.
The weather in August, the summer is in full bloom, but Luo Yingmin in the house is very leisurely, he is dressed coolly lying on the couch to eat grapes, and at the same time flirting with the two maids waiting beside him, if it weren't for Lan Ziyi coming in, I don't know what tricks this old thing will play.
Lan Ziyi arched his hand after walking in:
"Ziyi has seen Lord Luo."
Seeing Lan Ziyi come in, Luo Yingmin also sat up from the couch, he stretched out his finger to the other end and said:
"Wei Hou is here, please take a seat."
Lan Ziyi got up when he heard this, and just wanted to sit down, but saw Luo Yingmin's two drunken eyes staring directly at the moon mountain, Luo Yingmin muttered this voice, as if he was groaning a mouthful of phlegm, and said in a strange voice:
"Wei Hou, this little prince behind you is so handsome."
Luo Yingmin's lewd eyes and his lewd voice made Lan Ziyi's stomach goosebumps in his stomach, and the Tao brothers and Qiu Wenruo, who were picked up with Lan Ziyi, also showed displeasure and disgust.
Lan Ziyi wanted to turn around and leave, but Yueshan was very calm, and she took the first step to speak before Lan Ziyi made a move:
"Lord Luo, the servant is not a little husband, the servant is a woman, and she can't serve Lord Luo's rare hobby."
Luo Yingmin grinned when he heard this:
"It turned out to be a woman, she was really gorgeous, Wei Hou is really glamorous, the old man drooled when he saw it."
Lan Ziyi suppressed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath and did not answer, while Yueshanma continued:
"Lord Luo, the maid was specially given to Wei Hou by his father to serve Wei Hou's daily life. My lord, you spoke so explicitly, not only did you not give Wei Hou face, but also hurt my father's kindness. β
Luo Yingmin smiled when he heard this:
"The little girl has a very sharp mouth, who is your father? I hurt his face, but I have to take care of him. β
Hearing this, Yueshan sneered:
"My father is Taicheng Weiyu Chaoen."
When Luo Yingmin heard the words "Yu Chaoen", his face changed at the moment, and at the same time he retracted his unscrupulous eyes on the moon mountain. After coughing dryly, Luo Yingmin greeted Lan Ziyi and said:
"Wei Hou don't stand still, please take a seat."
Then Luo Yingmin greeted the door and said:
"Come and take a seat for the guards."
Lan Ziyi looked at Luo Yingmin and took another breath, he glanced back at the Tao brothers and Qiu Wenruo, and finally sat on the soft couch, and the little maid who was waiting outside the door also moved in the stool at this time and asked Tao Zhuhu and them to sit down.
Yueshan did not sit down, she has been standing beside Lan Ziyi, and after taking Lan Ziyi to sit down, she handed Luo Yingmin a name card for Lan Ziyi. This time, Yue'er stepped forward and Luo Yingmin no longer dared to make a foolish move, he honestly took the famous post, opened it and read it carefully.
Originally, there was nothing to look at a famous post, and it was not the first time that everyone had met, and there were only a few words on the poster, and the reader could see the end from the beginning at a glance. But the name card handed over by Yue'er this time is not an ordinary name post, this name card also has a total of 500,000 taels of silver in it, so Luo Yingmin wants to count it, can he take a closer look?
After reading the famous post, Luo Yingmin put the post away, and said with a smile:
"Wei Hou's sincerity, the old man has seen it, and the old man has accepted Wei Hou's heart."
Then Luo Yingmin changed his words and asked Lan Ziyi:
"Recently, Wei Hou and Cao Ji Qianzhuang have been quite close."
Lan Ziyi's anger did not subside at this time, although he did not have a seizure, he did not want to answer Luo Yingmin. Although Qiu Wenruo is also jealous and hateful, he does not despise Luo Yingmin as a person, but as Lan Ziyi's staff, Lan Ziyi refused to speak, so he had to answer for Lan Ziyi
"Cao Ji and the Lan family are old friends, not a relationship between Wei Hou and Wei Hou, they have always been close before, and Wei Hou is just inheriting the shadow of his father and brother."
Luo Yingmin smiled and said:
"Then your family is really a good blessing, a small character can almost infinitely withdraw silver taels from Cao Ji to spend."
Only then did Qiu Wenruo hear that Luo Yingmin was inquiring about the origin of Lanzi Yiyin, and hurriedly replied:
"Although Cao Ji is rich, he is not a boy who scatters money, and it is impossible to give people unlimited withdrawals; Although the Lan family is not rich and expensive, it is not called Huazi, and it is not guilty of asking people to borrow money. Wei Hou's mind is all from Wei Hou's family savings, and it has nothing to do with others. β
Luo Yingmin smiled and said:
"Since it is the hard-earned money earned by the father-in-law, the old man has to be grateful."
At the same time that Luo Yingmin was tempting, Lan Ziyi finally calmed the anger in his heart, he was still angry, but he didn't get angry, he opened his mouth and said to Luo Yingmin:
"Lord Luo, I came all the way, all I saw along the way were starvation everywhere, and the displaced people were lost, Lord Luo, as a parent official, shouldn't he do something?"
Luo Yingmin sighed when he heard this:
"Alas, Wei Hou, you don't know the difficulty of my river! I have just been crossed by demon thieves, there are no soldiers under my command, and the state officials have suffered serious losses, and now I have no manpower to deal with those Diao people, if I have soldiers and people, how can I allow those Diao people to run around, stealing chickens and dogs? Wei Hou, you can be considerate and considerate of me. β
Lan Ziyi listened to Luo Yingmin's answer, and almost didn't laugh bitterly, he originally wanted to ask Luo Yingmin why he was not appeasing the people, but Luo Yingmin could listen to the words as why he didn't suppress the victims. This kind of conversation is like a chicken and a duck talking, so what's the point of going on? Looking at the fresh fruits on Luo Yingmin's table, and then thinking about the victims who were hungry and poorly clothed, Lan Ziyi couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, this Luo Taishou is really a good official who "responds to the hearts of the people".
Lan Ziyi didn't intend to continue this boring question, and when he spoke again, he asked directly:
"The cabinet issued a document ordering porridge factories to be opened all over the country, sell official grain, stabilize prices, and provide relief to the victims, but when I came to He**, what I saw was the disaster victims who had no porridge to drink and the price of thousands of dollars of rice. Can this act be in line with the imperial court arrangement? β
Luo Yingmin glanced at Lan Ziyi sideways, his face was unhappy, and he said:
"Wei Hou, the demon thief goes north, and the disaster is my river **, Wei Hou will not be ignorant of this. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, our river ** fully supported, and the supply of grain and grass was abundant. There are only these two things, and the grain of my river ** has been consumed, and now let me set up a porridge field and sell official grain, where will I get the food to do these things? β
Lan Ziyi said:
"The imperial court has issued an order, the Pingcheng warehouse in the north will open a warehouse to send grain to the outside, Lord Luo, you have the supply of the Pingcheng warehouse, how can there be a shortage of grain?"
Luo Yingmin said:
"Wei Hou, it is true that the imperial court ordered the opening of the Pingcheng warehouse, but no one under my hands went to transport grain, and the caravan that could transport grain was the caravan of the capital, and those Beijing merchants did not do my river business, although the Pingcheng warehouse is large, I can't rely on it."
Lan Ziyi said:
"I'm here to settle this matter. The Beijing merchants were granted permission by Zhang Mingyue and monopolized the transportation of all the disaster relief grain, and our northern merchants were so miserable that they dared not speak out, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee were afraid of Zhang Mingyue's obscenity and did not dare to come forward to impeach this matter. I know that Lord Luo's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, as long as you let your subordinates write a letter to impeach the Beijing merchants for monopolizing grain and grass, when the Northern Merchants become active, Lord Luo will naturally have a supply of grain and grass here, and then he will naturally be able to open a porridge factory and sell official grain. β
Lan Ziyi said energetically, but Luo Yingmin became more and more bored when he listened, and he said:
"Wei Hou has promoted me, how can I have any ability to impeach Zhang Mingyue."
Lan Ziyi said:
"Lord Luo, don't say this, everyone in the world knows that the only one who can fight against Zhang Mingyue is you, for the sake of the common people in the world, for the sake of the people of Li, how can you take action to stop the monopoly of Beijing merchants."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lan Ziyi's words came out, Luo Yingmin was so angry that he waved his hand away, got up and said:
"Wei Hou came all the way, the saddle horse is tired, it's hard work, I think Wei Hou still take a hot bath, have a good rest, sleep and think about it, let's talk again."
