Chapter 260: Civilian Heroes

As long as people are not idle, they generally don't think too much about boring things, when they have nothing to do, they will worry about their hearts for a long time when they have a missing nail, and when they are busy, as long as the sky is not falling, they are usually immersed in the things they care about. {with}{dream} ั‰{suimะตng][lฤ}

Because of the urgent shortage of officials, as long as the literate people in the entire Chengzhou City were basically requisitioned by Yang Yi for a fee, Yang Yi himself was even more busy.

Liu Wenzheng felt that Yang Yi had been battling the flood on the embankment for two days and two nights a few days ago, and this suffering could not be in vain, and it was very necessary to vigorously publicize and publicize it.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu went into battle shirtless and personally went to the front line to help the people defend their homeland" This kind of thing is definitely a good way to increase prestige.

Yang Yi did not oppose it, but vigorously advocated it, but in addition to boasting about himself, Yang Yi was ready to create some people's heroes.

From the perspective of people's livelihood, shaping people's heroes can completely improve the personal quality of the people in Chengdu and even the entire Shuzhong, strengthen the sense of responsibility in everyone's heart to guard their homeland, and increase the cohesion of the people, which is of great benefit to both ordinary people and famous families.

On the other hand, politically speaking, vigorously publicizing the success of the flood fight can divert the attention of the public, allowing them to downplay the recent frequent upheavals in central and high-level Shu.

Who is the hero? This is too simple, Wen Jihuai, a madman who has been eating and sleeping on the embankment for seven years, is very suitable.

Under Yang Yi's deliberate arrangement, in less than three days, the entire Chengzhou Mansion knew that there was such a noble person who sacrificed himself for the people on the bank of the Hengchuan River, and under the modification of Yang Yi, a guest screenwriter from modern society, Wen Jihuai's story became more vivid and infectious, which can be described as sad and tearful.

Of course, the creation of heroes can not be too deified, nor can their light overshadow Yang Yi, the person in power, so that the gains outweigh the losses, so Yang Yi added such a sentence at the end of the story: "Wen Jihuai is unknown and pays for the people of Shu, if it is not for His Royal Highness the King of Shu, such a hero will be forgotten by history, which is something that His Royal Highness the King of Shu and the people will never tolerate." โ€

Su Fu Study----

"I heard that the proposing team at the door of Wen Jihuai's house is lined up in a long line." Monkey Jian'er pouted and said, "It's really a long queue, and even a fourteen or fifteen-year-old woman is willing to marry that dirty clay figure!" โ€

Monkey Jian'er seemed to be a little envious of Wen Jihuai, who became a celebrity overnight, and was quite unhappy in his words.

Yang Yi, who was reviewing the documents, looked up at Monkey Jian'er and said with a smile: "If you go to live on the river embankment for five or six years, I guarantee that you will be more prosperous than Wen Jihuai by then." โ€

"No, no, no..." Monkey Jian'er waved his hand again, shook his head again, and said: "Then who can stand it, looking at the rushing river every day for five or six years, it is estimated that he will go crazy in two days." โ€

Yang Yi smiled, buried his head and continued to review the documents, and said: "That's not it, although there are reasons for us to build momentum, but Wen Jihuai himself deserves such treatment, we just convert his efforts into corresponding returns." โ€

Monkey Jian'er rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Monkey Jian'er doesn't mean that, Monkey Jian'er likes to follow His Highness, even if I am asked to be a fairy, I am not happy!" โ€

Yang Yi didn't raise his head and said: "You have learned a lot of sycophants recently, one trick a day." โ€

Monkey Jian'er knew that Yang Yi was talking about many people talking about himself recently, and said with a smile: "Hey... If someone wants to talk, I can't stop them, right? โ€

Yang Yi put down the pen, looked up at the monkey tip, and said, "I see that you have a lot of fancy objects on your body recently?" It's almost time to become the shopkeeper of a jewelry store. โ€

Monkey Jian'er glanced at the four or five jade pendants rippling around his waist, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have found someone to identify these items on my body, and the maximum value will not exceed ten taels, and I have handed over the valuables that those people gave me to the housekeeper of Sufu and put them into the warehouse. โ€

Chengzhou Mansion has just gone through several hardships, whether it is politics and business or the army, some people have come down, naturally some people want to climb up, and almost everyone wants to meet Yang Yi, the new lord of Shuzhong, and give themselves and their families a way out.

But since Yang Yi became the lord of Shuzhong, these days every day is full of things, every thing is important, and there is no time to take care of anything else, so basically he refuses to see guests.

People are always smart, and if there is no way, they will look for it. Now there are not many ways to Yang Yi's side, Shama Naigu has made a name for killing gods with an axe, no one dares to go to him, Yang Yi's uncle Su Fan is too pedantic, and he will refuse to do anything that violates his principles.

These people thought about it, and actually found Yang Yi's personal guards Monkey Jian'er and Tie Niu.

Iron Bull, a reckless man who only knows how to laugh and eat, is obviously not suitable for being a lobbyist, and the quirky monkey tip has become everyone's target.

As long as the monkey tip comes out of the Su Mansion, a group of people will definitely follow behind the buttocks, and the monkey will be waiting before and after the monkey adult, and it will be almost called the monkey ancestor.

Monkey Jian'er is not polite, those people only say that they will do their best to do what they want, and the gifts they send are also not refused, but fortunately, this guy still knows the weight, and the things that are too valuable are handed over to Su Fu for public use.

Yang Yi shook his head helplessly: "Forget it this time, you are not allowed to accept anything from people in the future, you are short to eat people with short mouths and short hands, if you are really short of money, just tell me, as long as you don't take it to the world." โ€

Monkey Jian'er smiled awkwardly: "Monkey Jian'er knows that he is wrong, in fact, he is not short of money, he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking with His Highness, what am I doing with money, that is, when I used to go around the rivers and lakes with Tie Niu, I was always looked down upon by those people, but now it is the other way around, and my heart is happy." โ€

Of course, Yang Yi knows what the psychology of monkey Jian'er is, which is also what most people have, otherwise there would be no such thing as returning home.

However, this kind of thinking is still dangerous sometimes, and it needs to be guided correctly, otherwise it is likely to go astray.

Yang Yi put down the pen in his hand, looked at Monkey Jian'er Zhengse, and said: "I used to have a brother, he was just to let others look up to him, he gradually forgot himself, and ran to fight for the tiger, and finally we didn't even have to be brothers." โ€

Seeing that Yang Yi was very serious, Monkey Jian'er also put away his smile and said, "Your Highness... You're talking about Chu Dongsheng, right? โ€

Yang Yi didn't answer, he acquiesced, and continued: "I don't want anyone around me to go down that wrong path, understand? What matters in life is not what others think of you, but how you see yourself. โ€

"Hmm... I know Your Highness. Monkey Jian'er nodded seriously.

This kind of words have to be pointed, Monkey Jian'er's brain is very flexible, he should be able to understand the meaning of his words.

"Say it." Yang Yi said with a smile again.

The monkey was stunned and said, "Huh? Say... Say what? โ€

"If you accept money from others, you have to do two things, otherwise others will say that you are a splash, and even Lao Tzu will be scolded." After a pause, Yang Yi said again: "Pick two things that you think are important and say, ask for officials or something, and let them take the general examination by themselves if they have the ability." โ€

Monkey Jian'er's eyes rolled and said, "The Wang family of the Chengdong Shi clan has a seventeen-year-old girl who wants to be the princess. After a pause, he added: "It's okay to be a concubine, I've seen that girl, she looks very watery..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Yang Yi's face was not good, and Monkey Jian'er smiled and said, "Your Highness's lifelong event is also a serious matter." โ€

Yang Yiyi said: "If you don't learn, learn to be a matchmaker?" Is that what the old men do? This is one piece, the next one. โ€

"Huh? Is that a big deal? โ€

"You can rub another one and save it."

Monkey Jian'er hurriedly said: "Don't be, Your Highness, wait, I want to think....Oh, this is definitely a serious matter, the major commercial houses in Shuzhong jointly asked to see His Highness, saying that they wanted to discuss the prospects of business in Shuzhong with His Highness." โ€

Yang Yi nodded, this is a serious matter.

Since Gao Zuozhen won over more than half of the comptoirs in the Chengzhou capital to follow his rebellion failed, these comptoirs have also suffered heavy losses.

The three major trading houses in Shuzhong, Wanfu Commercial Bank was destroyed by Tao Yong, Huangmen Shu Jin and Cui's Warehouse failed with Gao Zuozhen's rebellion, and the head of the family and several major stewards were cleaned up by Tao Yong, and the losses were unbearable.

Now, whether it is these big commercial houses that want to keep their status, or some small and medium-sized commercial houses that want to take advantage of the opportunity, they are all waiting for Yang Yi, the king of Shu, to speak, just because of the relationship between Yang Yi and the Su family, no one dares to act without permission, if they accidentally offend the Su family's business, I am afraid that it will lead to the disaster of annihilation.

And the most important point is that now Shu brocade is unsalable, only the Su family can ship, the firms can only be anxious, but there is no better way, the bandits on the Shu Road have now formed a tacit understanding, as long as it is the goods of the Su family, absolutely no one dares to move, and it is more difficult for other firms to cross the Shu Road than to ascend to the sky.

Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "This matter itself is deliberately shelved by me, the power of the Shuzhong Commercial Bank is too great, and we must kill their sharp spirit, so that they know that without me Yang Yi nodded, no matter how big the commercial house is, it will not want to survive in Shu." โ€

Monkey Jian'er suddenly said: "I see, then I'll go out and tell them later..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Yi waved his hand and said: "No, the lesson has been almost given, and this group of people can't be pushed to a dead end, after all, business is also a big piece of fat in Shuzhong's economy, and it can't be cut." โ€

"What does Your Highness mean...?"

After thinking about it, Yang Yi said again: "In this way, you go and inform the firms, tomorrow at the dinner, I will set up a banquet in Sufu, and invite the heads of all the firms in Shuzhong to come to the banquet, but let those people not bring any congratulatory gifts, whoever brings them will not be allowed to enter the house, and the province thinks that Lao Tzu wants to blackmail them." โ€

Monkey Jian'er was overjoyed when she heard this: "Okay, that... So I'm going to inform them now? โ€

Yang Yi knew that the monkey was in a hurry to show off, so he smiled helplessly, and with a wave of his hand, this guy ran out in a puff of smoke.

After the monkey left, Yang Yi sat alone in the room, his frowning fingers kept tapping on the table, his thoughts were flying, and he was thinking about how to deal with these profiteers tomorrow...
