Chapter 221: Xingshi asks for guilt

With such a trick of 'porridge shop plundering population resources', in just two months, the population of Dingzhou and Tanzhou tripled, and the population of Hengzhou and Daozhou also doubled, and now these four states are overcrowded.

However, this is what Shi Bin is most happy about, gathering these scattered populations, even if it is difficult temporarily, but it will not be long before it will be much better. With popularity, agriculture and industry will develop, otherwise it is the most basic soil to eat, and it is estimated that there is not enough to eat.

Still thinking about these things, one of the news that Shi Bin was most proud of was sent in by Wang San and Xu Feng: businessmen from Ezhou, Jingzhou, Yuezhou and other places came to Tanzhou and Dingzhou to invest. Li Chao and Wang Sanguang haven't slept well for three days when they do this, and they hope to send a few people who understand this matter to help.

Shi Bin, who got the news, jumped up from his chair excitedly, like a martial arts master. Then he paced in circles in the study and repeatedly chanted, 'Li Chao is strong enough, Wang San is powerful enough'.

It is estimated that even Li Chao himself did not expect that being a transshipment envoy would have such great benefits, but this opinion was mentioned by him first, even if he didn't expect so much, it also shows that he is extremely far-sighted. Wang San is not bad, if he didn't ask Shi Bin to break his wrist, don't care about those backward areas, there would not be so many businessmen who came to invest, and there was such a good situation.

Seeing Shi Bin talking to himself madly in the study, Xu Feng was not so comfortable, because Li Chao and Wang San were already very tired, and the most important thing now was to send someone to help them share the pressure, rather than watching Shi Bin's performance here and be ecstatic.

Anyway, it's not the first time he has offended Shi Bin, he stopped him when he was a barracks guard, and he also stopped him when he was an official in the Jia family before, so he knows Shi Bin's temperament very well, and he can be regarded as a Shangguan who will not punish his subordinates for no reason as long as he is justified.

Of course, it is still not too much to save Shi Bin's face, so Xu Feng came up with a 'bitter meat plan'. When he walked to the coffee table to serve tea, a 'accidental' knocked over the teacup, causing him to 'burn' the tea and drain the ground, but fortunately, Shi Bin's favorite tea set was not broken.

Shi Bin naturally didn't have the heart to entertain himself when such a thing came out, and he couldn't say anything when he looked at Xu Feng, who was kneeling on the ground and asking for sin, but he just went over to look at the tea set, and then said coldly: "The man has gold under his knees, and he kneels like at every turn!" Be careful next time, don't be so careless. You go to the state capital to transfer a few people who know accounting to Li Chao and Wang San, and tell them, "Big brother, I thank them." Don't rush things, take your time, don't get tired. ”

This result is what Xu Feng wants to see the most, in his opinion, he can become an officer at the same level as the battalion commander and envoy, so it is not a big deal to kneel. As for 'a man has gold under his knees', the master's righteousness is empty words to him, so he doesn't quite understand why Shi Bin lost his temper.

Shi Bin didn't plan to explain this, what kind of righteousness did he talk about when he didn't have anything to eat? Pure. Xu Feng is a grateful person again, so he is even more able to kneel. "Go ahead, getting things done is the best reward for me."

In the third month, Wang San and Li Chao's report appeared a number that made Shi Bin ecstatic again: the total number of merchants in the four prefectures of Tan, Ding, Heng and Dao had exceeded 2,000.

This shows that Shi Bin's territory includes almost all the large and medium-sized merchants on Jinghu South Road. The presence of merchants shows the stability and prosperity of the local area from one side, and the more merchants there are, the more developed the economy, the stronger the local centripetal force, and the more favorable it will naturally be to the ruler.

Shi Bin used his authority as a transfer envoy to change all the money that needed to be paid into grain, which made his warehouse full of grain, and the officials in the surrounding state capitals were all envious.

However, there are always two sides to things, there must be advantages and disadvantages, and in the eighth year of Chunyou (1248 AD), the governors and prefects of several surrounding state capitals could no longer bear Shi Bin's forcible seizure, and finally exploded

Sent it.

But Shi Bin is now a transit envoy on Jinghu South Road, with a higher level than ordinary state officials, backed by the mountain of Jia Rudao, and friendly with military generals such as Yu Yu and Lu Wende, he himself is afraid of killing people like Ma Yuan, which makes the state government officials who broke out have not come up with a way to deal with him.

The strength is there, no one dares to report to Song Ting like this, and he is afraid that Jia Yidao will be more yin or Shi Bin will simply assassinate, after all, Shi Bin himself is a family that relies on assassination.

Officials in other state capitals watched the population of their borders plummet, and the continuous loss of resources was really unbearable for them, and if this continued, not only would their small coffers be gone, but even their official hats would have to be lost.

Because they knew that Shi Bin was reasonable, unlike other generals who only recognized swords and guns, everyone who had repeatedly considered it came up with a feasible solution: negotiation, and it was to form a group to negotiate with Shi Bin.

As the so-called 'public anger is difficult to criminal', this is a killer weapon handed down by the ancestors, with this killer weapon Yuezhou, Yongzhou, Shaozhou, Quanzhou, and the top officials of the Guiyang Army went straight to Dingzhou to find Shi Bin Xingshi to ask for the guilt.

How can these things be hidden from Shi Bin? He has hundreds of spies under him, and dozens of people are deployed in Dingzhou City alone.

When he was discussing with Wang San how to deal with these guys who were fish and flesh, an interesting scene happened on the other side: several prefects and governors had a dispute over who specifically opened their mouths to ask Shi Bin for guilt, and each said that he couldn't do it, or prevaricated with insufficient qualifications, or prevaricated with physical discomfort, so the matter was stuck again, if it wasn't for the vital interests, Shi Bin was a common enemy, and it was estimated that he would be scattered.

Shi Bin soon learned about the joke, and he and Wang San immediately stopped being so nervous, and they both thought that it would be good to use a little trick against such a group of rice buckets.

In order to show his ability, Shi Bin sent Xu Feng to the inn to invite the five governors and prefects, to be precise, coerced.

At first, the five people were not very surprised by Xu Feng's arrival, after all, it was already in Dingzhou City, and it was strange that Shi Bin, a person from a military background, didn't know that they came, but when Xu Feng said that they were each of them unwilling to ask for their crimes, after all, Xu Feng knew that Shi Bin also knew, and several people were all in a cold sweat.

Wouldn't it be foolish to have to 'ask for sin' when we have reached this point? Of course, they all retreated. Xu Feng received the order that 'he must be invited to him', so this 'invitation' himself has some 'coercion' color.

Shi Bin also pretended to be elegant, removed most of the weapons in the study, and replaced them with a lot of calligraphy and paintings, leaving only two swords. Then he stroked his shallow beard and sat on a chair with a delicate paper fan and waited...

Soon the five state officials were invited to Shi Bin's study by the soldiers, originally thought that this room should be full of swords, guns, swords, halberds, but did not expect that there were many books, calligraphy and paintings, which made the few people whose legs trembled and could barely stand slowly calm down, and finally be able to move on their own.

Seeing that a few people had calmed down, Shi Bin planned to talk to them, but he changed the decoration and kept silent because he was afraid that one of these wastes would have heart disease and high blood pressure, and one would be accidentally scared to death. This can easily be criticized by the world, and it will lose its hard-won reputation and good situation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask why you came to my Dingzhou?" Shi Bin smiled and asked, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”

This smile made several people very uncomfortable, at this time they preferred to see Shi Bin's horizontal eyebrows and glaring, such a reckless man is easy to deal with, but this smiling tiger is the most frightening.

Even if he expected that Shi Bin probably already knew the purpose of their coming, they still pushed each other obscenely, and they all wanted the other party to come forward and say the purpose, but they were all treacherous and cunning guys, who would be willing to do this?

Watching the play was almost the same, and Shi Bin was too lazy to waste time, so he simply said: "It seems that you are here to go on a trip, please forgive me for not accompanying this official when he is busy with official business." Xu Feng, send you out! ”

It's hard to come here, how can you just go back, isn't it a big joke?

Everyone naturally refused, and immediately said that there was something, and there were also high and low levels between people, and the Yongzhou Zhizhou, who had the lowest status, opened his mouth and shouted: "Lord Shi can't, we have something to ask for!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the four state officials on both sides all glared at him angrily, obviously they came to Xingshi to ask for guilt, how did they become 'have something to ask for'?

Yongzhou Zhizhou doesn't care so much, at least he opened his mouth, not just knowing the waste of being a shrunken turtle.

"Qian Zhizhou, what do you ask for? I remember that I didn't pay more taxes to your state, am I mistaken? Shi Bin pretended to be stupid and said.

Of course, Qian Zhizhou couldn't explicitly say that the transfer envoys robbed the resources and made them unable to pay all the taxes, so he had to turn a corner and say: "My lord, most of the people in our state capitals have fled now, and the rest are those who can't escape and can't pay much tax, so I want you to reduce your taxes." ”

"Qian Zhizhou, what you mean by that is that several of you have these phenomena?" Shi Bin asked 'unexpectedly' again.

At this time, these five people couldn't wait to step forward and tear Shi Bin apart, but none of them dared to show the slightest anger, so they could only continue to answer Shi Bin's question with a smiling face, "Yes, my lord." ”

"Bastard! I can't even control the whereabouts of the people in my own territory, what does the court want you to do! Do you only know how to request tax deductions? Don't you know that the imperial court is at war with the Yuan people, and it is the time when you need grain, grass and silver money the most? You deserve to die for your sins! ”

Shi Bin's 'angry' palm slapped on the bookcase, and in an instant, a slap-shaped hole appeared in the bookcase·····

Xu Feng, who heard the movement, immediately rushed in from outside the study with a few heavily armed guards, pulled out his waist knife and pointed it at Qian Zhizhou and a few people.

After seeing this scene, several civil officials who were powerless immediately trembled again, and they had the urge to turn around and leave.

The initial goal has been achieved, and Shi Bin does not plan to scare them anymore, because he is still afraid of the appearance of a 'Wang Lang'.

"Ladies and gentlemen, where have your people gone? There must be a place for this, and if you don't even know where to go, you will really die without redemption. ”

Qian Zhizhou, who was still a little more stunned, spoke: "Lord Shi, the people under our rule didn't go to other places, but mostly came to your realm. In order to prevent Shi Bin from getting angry, he also squeezed out some smiles.

"My territory, Ding, Tan, Heng, Dao four states?" Shi Bin was very 'surprised' and said, "Why don't I know? Besides, what are they doing here? ”

It takes a lot of courage to admit one's mistakes, and none of the five state officials are willing to admit that they have misgoverned themselves, so the atmosphere in the study is awkward.

In the end, the old fritter of Yuezhou Zhizhou came to the opposite way, and said in a very admiring tone: "The main thing is that adults are too good at governance, we are too mediocre, of course, those cloth and grass people will go wherever they are doing well, and gradually they will come to you." ”

Just when Qian Zhizhou and a few people sighed, Yuezhou Zhizhou, this sycophant, made a ruthless move, and said loudly: "Lord Shi, I, Zheng Zhenjin, have long heard that the adults are both civil and martial, and I didn't believe it before, but now I don't have the slightest suspicion, and I am willing to invest in the adult's account to help the adult govern Jinghu South Road!" ”

Like a high-explosive bomb, Shi Bin and the rest of the Zhizhou were blown up, and those old fritters immediately painted a scoop according to the gourd, and also said that they were willing to follow Shi Bin and help him govern Jinghu South Road.

Fortunately, Shi Bin has also had some experience as an official in the past few years, and he knows that such a major matter cannot be hastily decided, so he excused himself from being too tired today and will talk about it another day. Let Xu Feng arrange these five people to rest in the wing room in the mansion. (https:)
