Li Shuo waved his hand and said: "If the natural disaster is coming, don't talk about it anymore, the top priority is disaster relief, but this time, we must eradicate the internal thieves." “

"Master Li, Commander Luo, this official thinks that when Commander Luo came to Shaanxi, those thieves who collaborated with the enemy must have noticed it at this time, will they still transport grain outside the customs?" Cao Dezhang said worriedly.

"If it was before, they would have delayed a bit, but now that Liaodong is defeated, Houjin is in urgent need of food, these businessmen, heavy profits, as long as the price is enough, they will definitely make a move, of course, this matter will be handed over to Lord Cao and Commander Lu to do, from tomorrow, this official and Commander Luo will leave Chang'an Mansion and go to other state capitals to inspect disaster relief matters." Li Shuo said softly.

"Lord Li, the emperor sent me here to assist my lord in picketing this case, and he didn't say that I should inspect the disaster." Luo Yangxing was a little unhappy, on the one hand, the emperor really didn't explain, if he went to inspect himself, wouldn't it make Li Shuo feel that the emperor didn't trust him.

"Commander Luo, as a central minister, you are here in Shaanxi, and you can't say anything if you don't go to inspect the disaster, you and I will spend two days inspecting the two prefectures, and then turn back to Chang'an, and then plan, so that those people can relax their vigilance, and the way they get out of the customs, Lord Cao and Commander Lu have also figured it out clearly, so even if we go out for two days, they will be detained, and when the time comes, arrest people and start playing." Li Shuo looked confident.

The guest is as good as the host, Luo Yangxing knows this truth very well, and it is not good to say anything, so he can only nod his head.

"The emperor's eldest son was born, the national system has been determined, at the beginning of the new policy, the emperor is in his youth, the appearance of the Ming Dynasty has been formed, the official is worried every day, and must not delay the pace of the revival of the Ming Dynasty because of Shaanxi, so he can only do his best and repay the emperor's kindness." Li Shuo sighed and said, thinking of the situation in Shaanxi, this Li Shuo began to worry.

In remote state capitals, the government has banned the assembly of the people, just because they are afraid of causing trouble.

But Li Shuo understands that the root of the disaster comes from the antagonism of social classes, why, those rich businessmen can still live a luxurious life of wine and meat in the year of the catastrophe, and why they have to starve and freeze, in order to avoid causing conflicts, the government manages the squires more strictly, and treats the people more gently, of course, this is a small trick made by the authorities in order to maintain social stability, but it is the most effective little trick, no one dared to do it before, but Shaanxi at this time is different, because of the occupation of military land, The squires of the world have their lifeblood in the hands of the government, and the government forces that previously represented the interests of the squires have also fallen one after another.

"Lord Li can't be presumptuous, now that the war in Liaodong is over, the imperial court will have more energy to pay attention to the disaster in Shaanxi, and it will definitely not affect the revival of my Ming Dynasty because of Shaanxi." Luo Yangxing hurriedly relieved that at this time, Luo Yangxing had formed an alliance with Li Shuo, and it should be both a glory and a loss.

Of course, Li Shuo knew that Luo Yangxing was comforting himself, and he also knew that he was a little Meng Lang, so he could only smile and say: "Commander Luo is reasonable, the top priority now is to punish the national thief, and we will talk about it in the future." ”

The banquet ended late at night, and Luo Yangxing returned to the post station to rest drunk.

The next day, early in the morning, Li Shuo left Chang'an Mansion with great fanfare to go to Beidi to inspect the disaster.

This itinerary has given many officials and squires a wrong signal, is it possible that the imperial court is very dissatisfied with the disaster relief situation in Shaanxi, if so, Li Shuo, who was favored and favored back then, was suspected by the emperor, of course, this signal, so that many officials are very worried, there is a humane change of generals, the most likely to cause trouble, and disaster relief matters have always been presided over by Li Shuo, if Li Shuo's official position is removed now, it will have a great impact on Shaanxi's disaster relief matters, of course, some officials and squires are very happy to see the emperor punish the cool official Li Shuo, You must know that during Li Shuo's year in Shaanxi, the Shi clan suffered a lot, fined silver, and detained, and the Shaanxi clan did not dare to have a temper at all, even when the imperial court began to implement the new policy, there was no obstacle in the whole of Shaanxi, because of what? Just because Li Shuo is famous, you are unwilling to comply with the new policies of the imperial court, and there are many ways for you to comply.

Now the commander of Jinyiwei came to Shaanxi in person to inspect the disaster, if there are some dissatisfaction, before the saint, then Li Shuo will be to blame, and even some squires, thinking about running away, giving gifts to the commander, wanting to get Li Shuo to the point of no return, of course, the party struggle in the center of the imperial court, of course, the squires in Shaanxi are of course not clear, if they know the relationship between Li Shuo and Luo Yangxing, these people will not think so.

During the Apocalypse, the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty was very serious, the party was the same and different, the implementation of the decree was slow, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse had no opinion, since Wei Zhongxian gained power, after the rise of the eunuch party, the Ming Dynasty changed, and now the emperor Zhu Youzhen is very assertive, and very tired of officials forming party alliances, so the Ming court at this time is really weird, they are obviously a party of people, but they dare not communicate in private, lest they be known by the emperor, and Li Shuo and Luo Yangxing formed a party, and under the acquiescence of Zhu Youzhen, so few people in the center know the relationship between the two, Not to mention the squires and officials of Shaanxi.

Liu family, Chang'an Mansion.

The Liu family made a fortune in these 20 years, during the Wanli period, the first head of the Liu family came to Chang'an Mansion to start doing business, owned the first rice shop, and became the largest grain merchant in Chang'an Mansion after decades of development.

At this time, the head of the Liu family, Liu Wei, was negotiating with a person in the mansion.

Liu Wei is already middle-aged, when he accepted Liu's rice shop, there were only four shops, and in 20 years, it has developed into more than 100 shops, becoming a well-known family of huge wealth in Chang'an Mansion, but Liu Wei is relatively low-key, it stands to reason that the government prohibits grain trading, and the most seriously injured is the Liu family, but Liu Wei did not say a word, and he obeyed the laws of the government very much, and looked like a law-abiding people.

But who knows, this Liu Wei Yin and Yang violated, under the ban of the government, set up a private warehouse, transferred most of the grain to the private warehouse, to escape the daily inspection of the government, and behind the scenes, and bought grain from what big households, at first, these big households did not want to sell to him, because the government ban was in front, but Liu Wei gave a price three times higher than the market, and the big households were tempted by this price, and they sold it privately, and used various methods to deceive the government, just because of these. Let Liu Wei loot a lot of grain in a short period of time.

The person who talked to Liu Wei was also a merchant in Chang'an Mansion, named Miao Yilong, but it was not as big as Liu Wei's family, and he had been trading with Houjin, most of them were ironware, this time the Jurchens were in a hurry, originally according to the established date, it was shipped two days later, and it was shipped out of the customs from three channels, but the arrival of Luo Yangxing made Miao Yilong a little timid, so he entered the house to negotiate.
