Chapter 182: Kill it, the sun and the moon have no light
The only solution is to take advantage of the fact that the dust has not completely settled now, and play a trick to force the craftsmen and people in the coal cellar and the iron smelting plant to explode, which is still Zhao Xuefei's fault.
As for why the soldiers were ambushed at the iron-smelting station, it is better explained. As soon as the craftsmen and the people broke out, the soldiers immediately entered the iron smelting station, Cao Zhiyuan did not become a county commander, and he made this great achievement, and he was even more stable in doing the county order. As for the craftsmen and the people, if they don't explode, they don't have to do anything, just let the soldiers kill into the iron smelting station, and then the official word will be two, saying that if you explode chaos, it will explode, and if you don't explode, it will be chaotic!
On the surface, the biggest beneficiary of this matter should be Cao Zhiyuan, the patrol press doesn't seem to get the slightest benefit, at most it is a merit in quelling the chaos, although the credit is not small, but it seems that there is no need to cooperate with Cao Zhiyuan so much. It seems that Cao Zhiyuan and the patrol press still have a deal behind their backs, as for what the transaction is, needless to say, it must be money.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry about them, let's watch the show here." "It's said that it's a play, but in fact, I still want to see how Li Feibai handles this matter.
Cao Zhiyuan glanced at Ju Xizhe, who was sitting next to him, and scolded in a low voice: "If you want to rebel, you will rebel, all of them are cowards without eggs, they only know how to shout, and they dare not move the real character." ”
Ju Xizhe smiled and said, "A good meal is not afraid of being late, and a good show is not afraid of being late." Sit and watch the play first, and then add fuel to the fire. ”
Cao Zhiyuan said: "Yes!" "It's more or less not a taste in my heart. He and Ju Xizhe were not only in the same year, but also fellow villagers. is not only a fellow villager but also a village, studying in a private school together, going to Beijing to take the exam together, and taking the top three exams together. But Ju Xizhe's luck was too good, and he was selected to work as a prisoner in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. And he was sent out to the county and became a master.
At this time, everyone's starting point is still about the same, after all, the prison and the master are about the same, they are all nine grades. If you really want to compare the truth, his main prison is so much higher than the prison, because his master is the ninth grade, and Ju Xizhe's prison is from the ninth grade.
However, it didn't take long for everyone to be different. After so many years, Ju Xizhe has been promoted from prison to inspection, from inspection to grinding, and from grinding to grinding. In the end, I don't know what way to go, but I turned around gorgeously and turned into a supervising imperial history.
As for him, he changed from the master to the county with difficulty, and then stopped.
Although the supervision of the imperial history is not much of an official, it is just seven grades. If he can go one step further and become a county magistrate, he will also be a seven-grade, which seems to be about the same. But these seven grades are not the other seven grades, even if he can be the county commander, can he compare with Ju Xizhe? It's a pipe dream.
Ju Xizhe, the seventh grade, as soon as he came out of Beijing, let alone the political envoy, even the governor did not dare to slack off. The prefect of the fourth grade and the governor of the fifth grade are like training his son, and the county order has to kneel down to greet him. What about him?
Even if he becomes a county magistrate, will he dare to speak loudly to the prefect or the prefect? Can you get the respect of the political envoy or the governor? That's the gap.
In the past, he could still talk and laugh when he saw Ju Xizhe, but now that he has met Ju Xizhe, what else can he do except pat the horse and meet the horse? Whether he can be the county commander or not, you have to count on others! Therefore, in front of Ju Xizhe, he put his figure very low, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as humble.
When the county decreed this, he had been planning for a long time and discussed it with Ju Xizhe. As long as he can become the county commander, 100,000 taels of silver will be handed over. As for where to find 100,000 taels of white flowers, he had already calculated.
As soon as Ju Xizhe had trouble with the coal cellar and the iron smelting station, Zhao Xuefei became a guilty person, and he could only obediently hand over the black yarn hat. And as a county magistrate, he is a logical temporary acting county commander.
Zhao Xuefei can't sell coal and iron, in addition to Zhao Xuefei has no way, he also has the credit of secretly making a trip. As soon as Zhao Xuefei was removed, coal and iron naturally had a way out, and with the help of Ju Xizhe, who inspected Huaiqing Mansion, it was not impossible for coal and iron to sell at a sky-high price. Is 100,000 taels still a thing? It's not a matter at all!
However, before selling coal and iron, it is necessary to use a means to turn the public coal cellar iron smelting station into a private coal cellar iron smelting station. It is an indisputable fact that the coal cellar and iron smelting institute have been losing money year after year, and the money invested in the coal cellar and iron smelting is not enough to pay the arrears of labor and food. In order to avoid continuing to lose money, it is not difficult to take out a symbolic tael of silver and take down the coal cellar and iron smelting station with a little operation.
What should I do with the money owed to the craftsmen? He also had a plan, he only needed a little means to force the craftsmen and the people to explode, and he would lead the troops to kill all the craftsmen and the people, otherwise there would be no debts!
There are many nights when Cao Zhiyuan can't help but applaud his plans, and he wakes up laughing in his dreams. The black cauldron is all carried by Zhao Xuefei, and the benefits are all obtained by himself. cut off Zhao Xuefei, killed all the craftsmen, he got a coal cellar and an iron smelting station for nothing, and since then the money has been endless, where to find this kind of good thing?
It's a pity that it backfired, and Li Feibai, who had suffered a thousand knives, was killed halfway through, and he actually bought the coal cellar and iron smelting station one step ahead of him, completely disrupting his overall plan! Damn, that's 150,000 taels of silver for nothing, and I'm not afraid of losing you to death.
As it was, he had no choice but to change his plan. His plan is very simple, if you don't have money, don't care about him first, as long as Li Feibai has not settled the silver taels he owes, the craftsmen and people will still complain, and it is very easy to explode. As long as he fanned the flames and exploded together, he led the troops to suppress it, not only made a contribution, but also was able to put Zhao Xuefei to death.
After all, Zhao Xuefei sold the coal cellar and iron smelting to Li Feibai, but as long as Li Feibai has not come to receive it in person, Zhao Xuefei still has to carry this pot.
Cao Zhiyuan hurriedly sent someone to invite Ju Xizhe and asked him to bring troops to Jiyuan, which led to today's incident.
Just now, he had personally told the craftsmen and the people that the coal cellar and the iron smelting house had been sold to others, and from then on they had nothing to do with the county, and all the previous debts were gone. Let these craftsmen and people hurry up and roll up the covers, and don't let the people in the yamen drive them away.
His goal is very simple, that is, to force these craftsmen and people to change, shouting and killing to go to the county government to settle accounts, if you have some shovels and wooden sticks in your hands, it will be more perfect. At this time, you can let the hidden archers shoot arrows, and the officials will slash and slash, killing him with rivers of blood, and killing him without the sun and moon.
But these craftsmen and men are too timid, some cry and cry, and some kneel and beg, but they don't raise their arms and shout.
The crying people gradually found that it was useless to talk to themselves there, and they had to ask the officials to be the masters, so they rushed to the big case where Cao Zhiyuan and Ju Xizhe were sitting.
Cao Zhiyuan shouted: "What do you want to do?" Siege patrol by the adult? Come and protect the safety of the patrol adults! ”
The archers behind him immediately moved. The bow that pulls the bow, the draw the knife draws the knife! The craftsmen and men were all stunned, and involuntarily took a step back. Seeing that the archers did not make any further movements, they all cried there.
Cao Zhiyuan continued to shout: "What kind of mess is it about, what grievances are there one by one, you have your own patrol to call the shots." ”
