The emperor asked hesitantly: "We are an official family, how can we go to rob the merchants' grain, if it spreads, isn't it a big 'chaos' in the hearts of the people, I will think about it."

"Hurrah, Lord Lan said that it is indeed a good idea, we just rob one or two or two, so that they dare not hoard food, it is our purpose, if you feel that you don't want to go, wait for the matter to pass, and then subsidize their silver, besides, we don't need to go out to rob, we don't need to go out to the field, transfer a team of officers and soldiers to put on the clothes of ordinary people, and when they are done, transfer them to the border gate, the news will not leak, and reward them with more silver, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds" Chen Jiu also helped me on the side

"Then who will 'hand over' this matter to be foolproof," the emperor still looked at me and Chen Jiu and asked

The emperor's ministers were not very familiar with the officials in the court, and they asked Manager Chen to say, "I don't want to get involved, so I pushed it to Chen Jiu."

"The emperor can't find officials in the court to do it at this time, especially officials from a genuine brand, I think this will work, let's go to the barracks to find a thousand households, and then promise him some benefits, so that he will not be discovered, and he will not be 'exposed' out, what do you think, Emperor" Chen Jiu also paid attention

"Okay, Chen Jiu, this matter will be 'handed over' to you, it must be done for me beautifully, and you can't get out a little news through 'Lu', if the outside knows about it, I will say that you are making your own opinion, and I can't protect you at that time," the emperor is the emperor, and when he said this, he said that he was domineering, and if the matter really failed at that time, the 'Lu', the emperor did not admit it, and it was reasonable for Chen Jiu to be a scapegoat

"The emperor's servants must handle this matter well, and if the matter fails, the emperor can just take the minions' heads to calm the anger of the people," Chen Jiu knelt down and said

"Okay, you can discuss this matter with Lan Yunjie, only the three of us know, we can't let outsiders know anymore, you can go, and settle this matter as soon as possible."

Chen Jiu and I knelt down and thanked the emperor before leaving the Qianqing Palace and outside, Chen Jiu said: "Brother Lan, go and sit with me, tell my brother what to do in the future."

"Okay, then I'll go sit with you."

followed Chen Jiu to the East Factory, and now Chen Jiu is the factory supervisor of the East Factory, of course, in the East Factory

After sitting down on the chair, the little eunuch brought tea, and Chen Jiuping retreated, and the eunuchs on the left and right asked, "Brother Lan, tell me about this, how about I do this, there will be no leaks?"

"Brother Chen, this matter is also carefully planned, I have a plan, Brother Chen, do you want to listen to it?"

"Okay, Brother Lan, hurry up, don't hang my brother's appetite," Chen Jiu asked impatiently, I just want to hang Chen Jiu's appetite before I can implement my plan

"This ..... Brother said, I'm afraid it's the eldest brother, you can't accept it, let the emperor know that brother, my future is over."

"Brother Lan, you also know that my brother is righteous, and he won't tell anyone, only the two of us know."

"Well, since Brother Chen said so, then Brother said it"

"Good brother, what do you say, brother, there are no outsiders here, and the news will not be leaked"

"Brother Chen, didn't the emperor ask you to find officers and soldiers to pretend to be 'chaotic' people, brother, there is a strategy, there is no need for officers and soldiers to pretend to be officers and soldiers, and there is still a risk, let's go out directly to contact a group of real bandits, and we don't have to come forward to find a middleman who occupies the mountain as the king, so wouldn't it save a lot of trouble, Brother Chen, what do you think?"

"It's good, it's good, but often where there is a mountain in the vicinity, and besides, time is pressing, and it takes time to go back and forth, I'm afraid to go to a distant place to contact, and when I come, I won't have a chance."

"This brother knows a group of people, but..."I said and stopped here, because with Chen Jiu's cleverness, he would be suspicious if I said it myself, so I still had to let him 'force' me to say it myself

"Brother Lan, you really know a group of people, so tell my brother quickly, I'll contact them."

"Brother Chen, they are often not far away, they are a group of homeless people, and they are also brothers, when they went out hunting the year before last, the brother 'lost' the way and inadvertently went where, fortunately, the eldest brother who took the lead was righteous, so brother, I came back safely, Brother Chen, if you need to, I can contact you, but this is only possible if I send someone, big brother, you send someone, I'm afraid they don't believe it."

"Okay, then please brother, brother, so that brother, I will save trouble, don't worry about leaking the 'dew' thing, but I can't let them know that I am involved in this matter, and it is best that you can't let them know even brother."

"If Brother Chen doesn't say my name, they won't believe it, for the sake of my eldest brother and brother, I will lose 'Lu' and be a brother, I will not tell you about my eldest brother, this matter still needs Brother Chen to provide some convenience, or it is difficult to do"

"Brother Lan needs his brother to do something, as long as this thing can be done well, my brother will do his best"

"First of all, Brother Chen wants to find me the information of several major grain merchants, as well as where are the warehouses where they store grain, how many guards are guarded, and the important point is not to let the government chase too quickly, and the Beijing army outside should not care about this matter, if they take care of it, I am afraid it will not be easy to do."

"This brother, don't worry, I will let my subordinates inquire about their news as soon as possible, as for the Shuntianfu and the Jingjun, I will let the Lord Banzai issue an order, let them mainly 'concentrate' their strength in the city, there is no holy decree outside the city, and there will be no problems, and there will be no problems, and brother, how to deal with so much food, they can't pull it away."

"Yes, I'm also thinking about this, they only have about a thousand people, and the food they take is limited, I wonder if we can provide them with some convenience, such as carriages or something, let them take more away, if there is no big profit, how can they come here to adventure."

"It's also that I'm trying to figure out a way, the carriage, I can provide them with a part, but how to give them is a question"

"Brother Chen, you can gather the carriage outside the city, and then I let them grab it, isn't it over, and when they pull the grain away, the grain merchant will definitely report to the official, so that you can tell the Shuntian Mansion to seal their granary in the name of investigating the case, isn't it just to let them open the warehouse and release the grain, so that other merchants will no longer insist on the strike when they see this situation, and you will find out the people behind their scenes, naturally this strike crisis can be resolved, what does Brother Chen think?"

"Yes, Brother Lan's strategy is very good, you can try it, then the rest of the things will be entrusted to you, brother, if this matter can be ended safely, brother, I must invite you"

"Forget it, Brother Chen, you are a busy person now, it doesn't matter if you invite it or not, our brother still has to be so polite, when my brother is useful to you in the future, please ask my brother to help me more."

"Don't worry, your business is my business, brother, I will definitely help you"

"But Brother Chen, if the emperor asks you who you are looking for, how can you answer this, don't say that you missed it."

"Don't worry, brother, I know about these little things about the emperor, he forgot about it in the past, and he won't remember it, if you really ask, I have something to say."

I see that things are already being implemented according to my plan, so I will no longer talk to him, as the saying goes: more words will be lost, or less is better

"Brother Chen, time is urgent, I want to go back and arrange for you to inquire about the situation clearly, tell me as soon as possible, and I can inform them."

"Then please brother, I won't keep you, I'll arrange someone to do an investigation now, and I'll send it to you as soon as possible."

I stood up and said goodbye to Chen Jiu and walked outside, Chen Jiu kept sending me to the 'door', I just wanted to leave, Chen Jiu grabbed me left and right to look around, and then whispered: "Brother Lan, you are interesting enough, brother, I will also tell you that the four eunuchs in your family are from my Dongchang, but the one who took the lead is my henchman, you can find him alone if you have something, brother, you won't complain about your brother arranging people around you."

"Brother Chen, look at what you said, I know that you can't help yourself, it must be the above meaning, besides, brother, I am above board, and there is nothing unseemly, your people are better with you, or brother, I am still worried about what others will call, small reports or something, so I don't have to worry, the emperor can know my whereabouts at any time" Now Chen Jiu tells me this secret, indicating that he has treated me as his own, so that I am exposed, and he will also protect me, which is an extra insurance

"Okay, good brother, if you understand, then my brother won't send you"

After saying goodbye, Chen Jiu went out of Donghua's 'door', and Liu Lianjiang came over and asked me: "My lord, where are we going?"

"Let's go to the Ministry of Officials, and I'll see how the person Lord Wei found for me is doing."

When the sedan chair arrived, I went to Wei Yunqing's office to look at the 'door' book, and after a while, I came out and said, "Lord Lan, Lord Wei is waiting for you inside."

Entering Wei Yunqing's room, Wei Yunqing asked, "Yunjie, why do you have time to come?"

"Uncle, I came here to ask you how the person you found for me is good, the ya'men will be fine in the past few days, so the officials needed should also be in place."

"Well, I've found two for you, I'll show you the files, and tell me when you've chosen the one," Wei Yunqing said, handing me two files from the bookcase

I opened the first book, the name on it is Zhang Jiqiang, the age is thirty-eight years old, Anhui 'Meng' city people, Jinshi was born in the seventh grade, Yunnan Changle County, the county three years of evaluation, there is also the governor's comments, the staff during the term of office, conscientious, loyal, diligent and prudent, three years of local governance, the evaluation of Zhuo Yi, now recommended to enter Beijing
