In the past few years, the Wind Country has continuously mobilized troops and mobilized force, and due to a series of military operations, it will inevitably lead to huge abnormal expenditures, interfering with the original normal economic operation.

Lu Chen's current strategy is exactly like this.

However, at this time, Yandi has undergone major changes.

At the beginning, Lu Chen for the destruction of Lin'an, digging Linjiangyan, with water poured into Lin'an, to this day, Linjiangyan dried up, so that thousands of acres of fertile land downstream did not harvest, what is more terrible is that many areas of Yandi have been affected by unprecedented drought!

There are several counties in the swallow land, the ground is dry and cracked, the land of water is dry, and hunger is everywhere.

Local officials, reporting to the imperial court, are like snowflakes.

The day of the court.

Lu Chen's face was gloomy, and Xue Huairen came out and said: "The king, the ministers, where the division is, thorns are born, and after the army, there will be a fierce year." Lin'an is like this, so is Yandi, the water and fire of the people, the king, must not be ignored, otherwise, Yandi will be chaotic! ”

Lu Chen had nothing to say about Xue Huairen's admonition, he said with a straight face: "The drought in many counties of Yandi is a natural disaster, but the Linjiangyan incident, this king is to blame!" The king's intention is to open the treasury for disaster relief, allocate 50 million taels of silver, and millions of stones of grain and grass to save the people from fire and water. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, a minister immediately stood up and said: "O king, the Yan Coin Rebellion has just been allocated, and my country is now, how can there be so much money and food to relieve the disaster?" ”

"If you can't take it, take it!" Lu Chen stood up all of a sudden, and shouted in a loud voice: "It's to demolish this king's palace!" and make up the money! There is no food! Then send an order to Jian Rong, the head of Nanyang County, the head of Anze County, and the head of Jinhua County! Let them levy grain and grass! to support the Swallow Land! ”

Yes!? Such words startled the minister, and he immediately didn't dare to say more, but Xue Huairen immediately arched his hand and said: "I'm Wang Shengming"

Lu Chen's royal order, disaster relief, was quickly put on the agenda, first Hedong, Nanyang and other harvest counties distributed grain and grass, batch after batch of shipments to Yandi, and then, the imperial court's huge amount of silver was also sent down.

Yandi, Leizhou.

At this time, there was no county head in Leizhou, and Du Weiting, the county of his county, temporarily took over the political affairs.

The disaster relief silver allocated to Leizhou was a full 10 million taels, and after boxes of white silver entered the treasury, Du Weiting led a group of confidant officials to begin to accept it.

The boxes were all opened, and the white flowers and silver taels were dazzling, looking at such a huge amount of wealth in front of him, Du Weiting couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help but glance at his officials.

Someone began to check, and after a busy time, he came to report to Du Weiting, and said: "My lord, the inspection has been completed, and the silver is a full 10 million taels!" ”

"Yes." Du Weiting nodded, and went through the handover procedures with the personnel in charge of the escort, and after the people almost retreated, only him and the other two county officials were left in the treasury.

These two people are naturally his henchmen.

Du Weiting casually opened a box, grabbed out a few silver ingots, handed them to one of the officials, and at the same time the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and asked, "Do you want it?" ”

The officer swallowed and did not speak.

Du Weiting stretched out his hand to another official and asked the same question, "What about you?" ”

"This Adult"

Du Weiting smiled, threw the silver back into the box, and said, "A whole ten million taels of silver with white flowers!" Have you seen that? This official has never seen it, and it is a pity to distribute this silver to those Diao people! ”

What he said was already very explicit, and the other two officials couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this.

Du Weiting continued: "But this is the imperial court's appropriation of silver! If you fill your pockets, not only will your official position not be guaranteed, but you may not be able to keep your head! ”

Du Weiting dared to say this in front of the other two officials, and it was obvious that the relationship between them had reached a certain level.

When one of them heard this, he tentatively asked, "What do you mean?"

"Only pull all the Leizhou officials into the water! Talent is foolproof! Du Weiting said coldly.

Yes!? Hearing this, the two officials couldn't help but gasp, and one of them said, "My lord, this is a dangerous move." ”

"Huh?" Du Weiting waved his hand and said: "It seems to be a dangerous move, but in fact it is not dangerous, as long as all the officials in the real power are pulled to our side, then at that time, even if someone is sent from above to investigate, I will wait for the officials to protect each other, what can I do?" ”

"Well, that makes sense," an official nodded slowly.

Another asked, "What is the Lord going to do?" The imperial court allocated money here, so it can't be distributed to the people without a penny, right? ”

"Of course, you can take two million taels out to make a show." Du Weiting said: "In addition, the Leizhou City Captain's Mansion is the top priority, and you can give its city captain 500,000 taels!" ”

"Five hundred thousand taels!?" An official exclaimed: "Isn't that too much?"

Du Weiting glanced at him and sneered: "I can't bear the child to catch the wolf, 500,000 taels of silver, based on the city captain's salary, he can't earn it for a lifetime, a few lifetimes!" With such a huge wealth in front of him, can he not accept it? And the Leizhou City Governor's Mansion is very important, for the sake of safety, don't care about the 500,000 taels. ”

"What about the other officials at all levels, what are your plans?"

Du Weiting said: "This matter needs to be done step by step, you can't be in a hurry, you should test it first, the county lord is 100,000 taels, and the county guards are 50,000 taels."

That night, Du Weiting invited Yu Jian, the lieutenant of Leizhou City, to the mansion as a guest.

Although he is the county governor of Leizhou, he is now temporarily in charge of the county's political affairs, which is equivalent to the temporary county head, and his position is naturally above Jian, how dare the latter refuse his invitation, of course, he hurriedly went to the banquet.

Moreover, usually, there is no contradiction between the two, and after arriving at Du Weiting's mansion, Yu Jian gave a salute and said again and again: "Lord Du invited, and the lower officials were flattered." ”

"Huh? Lord Yu is so polite, I can come to the humble house today, and it is shining. Du Weiting also hurriedly said.

"Where, where"

After the greetings in the officialdom, Du Weiting stretched out his hand and said, "Quick, Lord Yu, please take a seat." ”

"Lord Du, please." Yu Jian also hurriedly said.

The two sat down separately, and after the maid stepped forward to pour the wine, Du Weiting took the wine jug in the maid's hand and said, "Today's hospitality to the lord, the matter of pouring the wine will be done by the official himself, and you should step down." ”

"No." The two maids responded crisply, put their hands on their waists, and retreated.

Seeing this, Yu Jian couldn't help frowning slightly, and couldn't help asking, "Master Du, is there something you want to tell your subordinates?" ”
