Of course, this time, a large number of gentry in Shandong who lost their houses because of grain hoarding were far more than Shen Congdao. The inferior gentleman played in the play www.biquge.info Pen, Fun and Pavilion is not necessarily Shen Congdao.

However, Shen Congdao was still shocked into a cold sweat. He regretted buying a place to come in to watch the play, and at this time he was surrounded by indignant people, which was really very dangerous. If the people of a county recognized him, he might really be beaten by these people.

A wealthy merchant wearing silk next to Shen Congdao looked at Shen Congdao and said, "This minister, fortunately, I didn't hoard food and fight against the Duke of Jinguo, otherwise I would have lost both money and money now, and my reputation would be infamous." ”

Shen Congdao subconsciously said loudly: "I didn't hoard grain against the Duke of Jinguo, I didn't buy seven thousand eight hundred stones!" ”

Shen Congdao was nervous, and subconsciously said the number of food he had hoarded. The wealthy businessman next to him glanced at Shen Congdao in surprise and did not speak.

Only then did Shen Congdao realize that he had leaked his mouth, and he really had the urge to slap himself.

The drama on the stage is still being performed, and it is said that the price of rice has plummeted, and the Duke of Jin Guogong took advantage of the situation to buy rice, so that the people can have enough to eat and have the strength to carry out autumn sowing and develop water conservancy. The people saw that there was already twelve points of worship of the Duke of Jinguo here, and they were all applauding for the Duke of Jinguo.

Shen Congdao secretly said to himself, and said in his heart that this opera academy is so powerful. In this era, the common people like to watch dramas, even the poorest farmers, they have to watch a big drama when they are in the temple fair every year. However, in this era, there are not many new opera repertoire, and even fewer well-written new operas. The opera academy of Jin Guogong recruits talents to compile high-quality dramas, which can greatly affect the mood of the people.

If "Shandong Daily" can influence the rational thinking of the people, then the opera compiled by this opera academy is inciting the people's emotional emotions.

Shen Congdao sighed, and secretly said that this Li Zhi is a good method. The gentry of Shandong are against Li Zhi, and I am afraid that there will be no good life in the future. Sooner or later, everything will be inflicted on the Shandong gentry. At that time, the Shen family's more than 6,000 acres of fields, I don't know how much they can keep.

Shen Congdao shook his head and was about to look at the stage, but saw that among the standing audience, a small trader in Tianliu Town was glaring at him. The little trader didn't know why he came to the county seat, but he met Shen Congdao in the teahouse where he was watching the play. At this time, the little trader was incited by this drama of "Relief Shandong", and looked at Shen Congdao's eyes as if he was looking at the enemy.

Shen Congdao secretly said that it was not good, if this vendor told his identity to others, he really had the possibility of being beaten by the group.

Shen Congdao was worried there, and suddenly a cappella sang on the stage: "My father wants to build a dam in this crucian fish ditch to irrigate 270,000 acres of fertile land, and enrich the people!" ”

Hearing this cappella, the people in the audience were boiling again. The people seemed to see the future of Shandong's increasing prosperity under the rule of the Jinguo Gong, and applauded loudly. The small trader who glared at Shen Congdao was also infected by the boiling crowd, no longer glared at Shen Congdao, and looked at the stage.

Shen Congdao's secret path is this moment, and he can't leave if he doesn't slip away. He jerked up from his chair and dragged the servant outside. Squeezing out a path among the audience who were watching the play intently, Shen Congdao escaped from the teahouse in a panic as if he was being chased and killed.

On October 10, Li Sik sat in the Huaide Hall of the Jinguo Mansion and summoned Choi Wenxin, who was serving as a justice of the Supreme Court.

This Cui Wenxin is Cui He's uncle and Cui Wending's younger brother. Speaking of which, it is Li Huan's uncle and grandfather. Cui Wenxin is five years younger than Cui Wending, and now he is only forty years old, which is the prime of life.

This Cui Wenxin's personality is a bit old-fashioned, not as spring breeze as his brother Cui Wending. Li Zhi asked him to be a judge in the court before, but he was selfless and very competent. The so-called talent is rare, and it is not easy for Li Zhi to find such a rigid character among his relatives and friends. Li Zhi observed for a while and decided to put him in a more important official position.

Ri Sik decided to make Choi Bun-shin the Shogunate's ambassador to the Shogunate's Anti-Corruption Bureau, which specialized in censoring corrupt officials.

Today, Li Zhi's career is getting bigger and bigger, but he has always relied on Li Zhi's personal ability to manage the bureaucracy, and has not established an internal supervision system. However, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and although Li Zhi pays attention to the observation of personal qualities when promoting officials, it is inevitable that the black sheep will be corrupt and degenerate after becoming an official.

Now that Li Zhi is in charge of the two provinces of Tianjin and Shandong, if the bureaucracy is corrupt, then Li Zhi's career will become a soilless tree and will eventually collapse.

Li Zhi smiled and said to Cui Wenxin: "Cui Wenxin, in the future, you will be responsible for accepting reports from the masses and investigating problematic bureaucrats in detail." Even if there is no report from the public, as long as you think there is a problem with any official, you can take the initiative to review it after asking me. Be sure to get rid of the pests in the ranks of officials. ”

Cui Wenxin had a straight face and was about to speak, but he saw Han Jinxin running in panting.

Seeing Han Jinxin's anxious appearance, Li Zhi knew that there was something important, so he turned around and asked, "Han Jinxin, why are you so anxious?" ”

Han Jinxin knelt down in front of Li Zhi and saluted, got up and said, "Grandpa Guo, it seems that the shogunate of the Wa Kingdom intends to prohibit the import of our Li family's fine cloth. This trend of thought is very turbulent, and the latest news: Several of the daimyo who are close to the feudal domain have proposed to the shogun of the Wa State to ban cloth, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the Wa Kingdom will really ban our fine cloth trade. ”

When Li Zhi heard the news, his brows furrowed.

Today, the fine cloth trade with Japan is the main part of Li Zhi's industry and trade - since Li Zhi Chongzhen was in Tianjin in the fourteenth year of his reign, the scholars and gentry from the north and south of the river have consciously or unconsciously rejected Li Zhi's products. Since then, Lee Zhijing cloth has been sold almost entirely to Japan.

Today, Li Zhi's textile factory has 20,000 workers and a monthly output of 350,000 pieces of cloth, which is a profit of 1.1 million taels of silver in the past year. In addition, there is a trade price difference when selling to Japan, and the profit is higher.

If this trade is suddenly interrupted, it will not only cause Li Zhi's income to drop sharply, but also cause 20,000 people to lose their jobs in Fanjiazhuang, and all of a sudden Fanjiazhuang's wealth will be wiped out.

Han Jinxin said: "Grandpa Guo, Japan's textile factories were crushed by our cheap fine cloth, which led to the collapse of the entire industry. Several daimyo of the Wakoku clan said that if the fine cloth was not banned, the economy of various parts of Japan would continue to be depressed. ”

"I'm afraid it won't be long before the Japanese shogunate will completely ban the import of Li Jiajing's cloth."

Li Zhi looked at the scenery at the gate of Huaide Palace, took a breath, and said slowly: "If Japan bans our Li family's fine cloth trade, it will be a declaration of war against Bengong!" ”
