Chapter 116: Ask Cai Jing if you don't decide in trouble
After the rain, the weather cleared, and although the street market in Bianliang has not fully recovered its former prosperity and hustle, it has also been full of traffic and people, and its vitality has gradually returned.
The only difference is that the grain shops that opened their doors to welcome customers in the past have generally closed collectively after discussion.
The water level of the Bianhe River has risen, and there has been no grain brought into the city for several days, and although the government has stockpiles, they are just in reserve for emergencies and are generally not easily used. Moreover, it has to provide food and drink for 600,000 forbidden troops, and once it is used but cannot be replenished, the consequences are unimaginable.
Kaifeng has a population of one million, consuming countless rice and grain every day, and has to transport grain and grass from the ground to Kaifeng.
But today's Bianhe River is not possible to sail at all, so grain cannot be transported in.
Yang Lin was soaked in the mud a few days ago, and his feet were a little uncomfortable, and now he can also ride a horse. The people of the Banzai camp rode along the horses, but they did not pay any attention to the surrounding scenery.
The Banzai battalion has arrested dozens of splashes one after another, and their mouths are tight enough, and it seems that the forces behind them are not easy to provoke, so that these people would rather die than dare to say it.
As the rain subsided, news came from all over the world that the flood disaster affected the entire Gyeonggi Road as a disaster area.
As a result, the roads will be blocked, and the water transportation that depends on the livelihood of millions of people in Bianliang will also be paralyzed.
Yang Lin is really a head two big, I don't know where to start.
The Long Live Battalion is just a newly formed Terracotta Division, at best it is similar to the Imperial City Division, and many functions need to rely on the government offices at all levels of Kaifeng Prefecture.
It's a pity that the Kaifeng Mansion and Yang Lin are all rivals, and there are ways to command them to do things with you.
Just as he was hesitating, a surprised voice sounded: "Shaozai." β
Yang Lin looked up and saw that the person who came was five short figures, slightly fat, dark-skinned, and wearing a soft armor, it was Song Jiang and Song Gongming, a good man in Shandong.
"Song Jiang, why are you here?"
Song Jiang got off the horse, bowed slightly, and replied: "Back to Shaozai, my subordinates were ordered to go to the White Tiger Hall to answer, this palace is just a false position, those forbidden troops are firmly in the hands of the Gao family's father and son, and the needles can't get into the water and splash in, and the subordinates are there.."
Yang Lin hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, don't complain, it's more difficult to do it than me." β
Song Jiang doubted: "I haven't seen you for a few days, what's the difficulty of Shaozai?" β
"Lao Tzu has a new errand, that is, to deal with this flood, the black-hearted grain merchants in Bianliang are all sitting on the ground to raise prices, and the grain from outside cannot be transported in, and the millions of people in Kaifeng Mansion will be dragged on for a few days, and I don't know how many people will starve to death."
Song Jiang's eyes rolled, and he stepped forward and said, "Shaozai, if you don't make a decision, you can find the Taishi." β
Yang Lin's eyes lit up, wow, someone must have solved this matter, who could it be, it must be Cai Jing.
Cai Jing's business ability is undoubted, and he has been highly praised by the leaders of the old and new factions, and the two Song Dynasty have been one of the best.
Even his political enemies said sourly: "So that Jing can correct his mind, although the ancient sages are not good." β
Yang Lin said with a smile: "You can be regarded as a wake-up call for me this time, come with me to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I beg Cai Xiang to adjust you, so as not to eat melons in the Jieshuai Mansion." β
Song Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this, followed behind Yang Lin, and went straight to Cai's mansion.
Cai Jing's mansion, Yang Lin was already familiar with the road, and happily came to the study.
Cai Jing is really an elegant person, the flood outside is raging, and he is still holding a shower in the study and watering.
Seeing Yang Lin come in, he said angrily: "You are also a champion of reading, why don't you even understand this etiquette, knock on the door before coming in." β
"Next time, next time, you must knock, Eun Xiang, you can save me this time."
Cai Jing put down the shower, and the two maids next to him came over with copper basin hand towels, and after Cai Jing cleaned his hands, he asked for a long time: "Say, what's the trouble again?" β
Yang Lin salivated and stepped forward, and said seriously: "Enxiang, Zeng Bu, who has the right to know the Kaifeng Mansion, has always been at odds with Enxiang, in order to act as a pawn for you, I scolded him in Daxiangguo Temple." β
"Zeng Bu, you dare to scold?" Cai Jing was surprised, this is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. But he thought about it for a while, and then he thought it was normal...
"The students don't dare to do anything for the sake of grace, but this old thing really doesn't have a stomach. He held a grudge against this little thing, and instructed the people of the Kaifeng Mansion to obey the yang and the yin, and the official family gave me the power to mobilize the yamen at all levels to deal with the Kaifeng flood. This group of dogs is so lazy, they can't find out what to do if they want to check the price of the black-hearted food store, and our Bianliang is about to starve to death. β
Cai Jing sighed and said: "Zeng Bunai is an old minister, he was born in a family of prime ministers, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the Great Song Dynasty. If you are evil, he still wants to do things in Kaifeng Mansion, there is only one way. β
When Yang Lin heard that this old thing really had a trick, he said happily: "Please also give me advice." β
"Find a group of people who have no scruples and Zeng Bu can't intervene to do these things."
Yang Lin pondered for a moment, and suddenly blessed his heart, and approached and said, "Enxiang is saying, the inner servant?" β
Cai Jing nodded with a smile and said, "You and Yang Jian are brothers, he is now being pressed by Liang Shicheng in the Inner Servant Province, and even Li Yan is on top, and his power surpasses that of him, the old man of Duanwangfu." Yang Jian, a kind person with a smile on his face, how can he not have a grudge in his heart, you go to the palace to help him, with Yang Jian's foundation in the Inner Serving Province, I am afraid that I will not be able to form a detective department? β
Isn't this the idea of the East Factory and the West Factory, Yang Lin thought about it carefully, Liang Shicheng firmly controlled the internal service province, and it was always a hidden danger to himself.
There is also the housekeeper Li Yan, his own brother died in his own hands, and this hatred is not deep.
Yang Jian and himself have always had a good relationship, starting from the Keju League, every time it is a community of interests. What's even more rare is that most of his champion is obtained by Yang Jian's intelligence.
Cai Jing continued to mention: "Yang Jian is in the province, I don't know how many henchmen have been oppressed by Liang Shicheng for so long, and they have long been holding back their strength to resist, but they don't have a chance. Yang Jian is not short of people, you are not short of money, you now have a suitable reason, this matter is not overnight. β
Walking out of Cai Jing's study, Yang Lin expanded his chest, and his face was full of longing.
Is there anything more suitable than this to make an east factory to raid the house, Song Jiang came up, nodded and asked with a smile: "Shaozai, what is the opinion of the Taishi?" There is also the fact that the subordinates are waiting in front of this palace... Can you, hehe, move around. β
Yang Lin looked him up and down, and said with a smile on your chin: "It's easy to say, Dongchang needs talents like you." β
Song Jiang's face was puzzled: "Dongchang? β
