Chapter 224: Hands-on
But what Li Wenhua didn't know was that his performance made Zhu Changluo praise him in his heart!
In fact, since he arrived in Ping'an Mansion, all the management organs at all levels he has seen are filled with an outdated and conservative atmosphere, and the reason why Ping'an Mansion has been able to develop into a collusion between businessmen and the government, and even indirectly control the power of the government, is it really just Liu Shouyou's pot?
By no means, the reason why Ping'an Mansion has become what it is today is because there are basically no clean people in his system from top to bottom, Liu Shouyou is just one of the representatives, and further down, those small officials, Zuo Erguan, are basically all fed with silver by those merchants, and there are even many small officials, who are the cronies of these merchants.

In such a situation, how can Zhu Changluo rest assured?
Seeing that even a new science and technology scholar like Liu Mengzhou can only retreat from this status quo, can he only keep his innocence?
Therefore, since Zhu Changluo arrived in Ping'an Mansion, he has not accepted any officials arranged by them, even if he has no one available, even if all his palace officials are transferred from the imperial court, he is not willing to accept the old officials of Ping'an Mansion!
It's really because most of them are rotten, but Li Wenhua's performance today made Zhu Changluo see a glimmer of hope.
A person like Li Wenhua may not be a square gentleman in the traditional concept of scholars, nor is he the kind of inflexible defender, he is cowardly, smart, and able to endure, although he can't go against the general trend of Ping'an Mansion, but he can try his best to think about his own rule, like the tough aquatic plants in the torrent, it seems to go with the flow, but in fact, the rhizome is deeply rooted in the mud, and he can keep the bottom line in his heart from crossing......
Otherwise, what he would consider today would not be the stability of the people's livelihood in Dangtu County, but how much credit he could bring to arresting these businessmen who did all kinds of evil.
You must know that the current situation of Ping'an Mansion, even the imperial court finds it extremely tricky, if this chronic disease can be resolved, even if some special means are used, the imperial court will not blame, and it is even possible to increase the official rank.
Taking a step back, even if it is not done well, it will greatly damage the vitality of Dangtu County, but at least Li Wenhua can regain his power as the county magistrate, and he will not be controlled everywhere like now, and he can only eat Haisai every day and feed himself into a big fat man.
"Li Zhixian doesn't have to worry, this king has received reliable news, and the imperial court's edict to deal with Liu Shouyou is already on the way, I'm afraid that an angel will come in the near future and bring him back to Beijing for trial, so although Li Zhixian has arrested these people, there is no need to be suspicious!"
Zhu Changluo looked at Li Wenhua, who had a gloomy face, and said with a slight smile.
After a pause, he spoke again.
"As for whether there will be chaos in the city, Li Zhixian doesn't have to worry about this, with this king, they can't afford to make any waves!"
Although he knew what Li Wenhua was worried about, Zhu Changluo couldn't explain it to him too clearly, after all, there were some things that could be done, but if it was put on the table, he, the prince, would openly contact a large number of businessmen, and it would be easy to be impeached, although he didn't care about these things, but it was always better to avoid them.
As soon as Zhu Changluo's words fell, Luo Yangxing stood up, waved his hand, and a team of guards walked into the hall, wearing armor, with sharp long knives, and a cold glow in the sun.
"In this operation, this king will dispatch the royal guards to help Li Zhi County, Li Zhi County, appease the place, and it is my duty to protect the people and defend the land! It's time for these cysts to be swept out of the Ping'an Mansion! ”
Zhu Changluo no longer hesitated, stood up and said conclusively.
In fact, Li Wenhua's performance today can only be said to be a surprise to him, no matter what his attitude is, Zhu Changluo's plan will not change, he only needs to borrow the name of the Tu County Ya, Li Wenhua is willing to cooperate naturally, if he is unwilling, he can only play a game of coercion and order the officials!
Looking at the palace guards in front of him, Li Wenhua finally realized that the Royal Highness in front of him did not ask him to discuss at all, but had already decided to inform him.
sighed, I can only hope that this highness didn't say a big thing, and there is really a way to stabilize the situation!
Li Wenhua arched his hand and spoke.
"Obey His Highness's orders!"
However, after really deciding to cooperate with Zhu Changluo, Li Wenhua unexpectedly felt relaxed, after so many years, he finally didn't have to suffer from the bird's anger of these businessmen!
Zhu Changluo smiled slightly, but he was expected by Li Wenhua's reaction.
He had already seen that this Tu Zhixian was not an ignorant defender, in fact, what he knew best was the power change, otherwise, I am afraid that he would not be able to sit in his current position under Liu Shouyou's rule......
The head of the Sun family is named Sun Baiqian, and it can be seen from the name that he is a generation of businessmen, but the same as the Liu family, his ancestral home is also in Shanxi, basically, the Liu family controls the dyeing and weaving industry in the entire Ping'an Mansion City, and the Sun family is the largest grain merchant, and now is the busiest time of the year for the Sun family.
Because the autumn harvest is about to begin, for Sun Baiqian, this is a good time for him to collect money, sitting on the cushion, Sun Baiqian pulled the account book, squinted his eyes, and only spoke for a while.
"Why did you collect 70% of this year's rent? Didn't you say a good harvest? Then add another 10% of the rent and leave them some food! ”
This year's year is good, and the harvest in the people's fields is also more, so when he gets up early, Sun Baiqian has the idea of raising the rent, you must know that this rent is thousands of stone of grain, if these grains are taken out and sold, they are all silver!
"Yes! But sir, the county government said that this year we will be asked to plant something called sweet potato, how to reply to him? ”
A fat housekeeper of the Sun family held a small abacus in his hand, wrote down Sun Baiqian's instructions, and asked again.
"Do you still need to teach you, master? Growing sweet potatoes? Is that thing expensive for food? Tell him who is willing to plant and who will plant, sir, I only know the warrant of Lord Fu, county honor? What a! Not to mention these useless things, how is the fourteen acres of land in the Li Mansion? ”
"What the master said is that the little one is confused! But don't worry, sir, according to your orders, the two sons of the Li family have been sent to the government for forced labor, if they continue not to sell to us, then wait for their sons' bodies to be collected! ”
The butler smiled and replied with a hunched bow.
"Okay, that's good, you go back and press down two percent of the money to the Li family, dare to refuse the master and me repeatedly, and let them see how powerful ......"
Sun Baiqian pulled the account book and said with a sneer.
But as soon as he finished speaking, two little guys hurriedly ran in and said.
"Master, it's not good, the county government is here!"
"County office? What are they here for? Do you want the master to plant any sweet potatoes? Tell them there are no doors! ”
The butler frowned and spoke.
"No, no, no, it's not that a group of arresters came back, saying that the master committed a crime and came to arrest people!"
The little guy ran out of breath, and stammered before he finished speaking.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Baiqian stood up with a "Teng".
"It's the other way around, the master has been arrested, and it is Wang Zhutou or Li Tuiguan who is leading the people, has the master fed them all the money all these years in vain?"
"Hehe, Wang Zhutou and Li Tuiguan have been unwell recently, so there is no need to trouble them for this kind of arrest!"
As soon as Sun Baiqian finished speaking, a group of people in clothes and knives rushed in, and the lobby was crowded in an instant, and the leader said with a smile, but the blade in his hand made people can't help but tingle.
"Who are you? Dare to pretend to be an official to catch fast, don't you want to live? Do you know what the crime of trespassing is? ”
Sun Baiqian's face was stunned, and he couldn't figure out that so many nursing homes he had hired were easily broken in by these people, and he scolded angrily.
"This doesn't have to worry about Master Sun, if you have something to say, let's wait until the prison to talk to the county lord!"
Holding the blade of the robe, he smiled quickly, waved his hand, and immediately several big men rushed up, tied Sun Baiqian and his housekeeper with five flowers, and gagged their mouths by the way......
