Chapter 44 The situation is complicated
Xu Zhirong spoke impassionedly, righteously, with a serious face and full of righteousness. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Su Heng is not a hairy boy who has just come out of the mountain, he has experienced so much, the city is quite deep, and he didn't show his inner thoughts on his face, but just looked at Xu Zhirong quietly, wanting to see how he could continue to round out his words.
Xu Zhirong smiled slightly, and made a gesture of invitation to Su Heng: "Mr. has been running all the way for the past few days, and he must be tired, so it is better to go to the Xiaguan Mansion to rest for a while, and by the way, take a stroll in this Danyang City with the Xiaguan, maybe you will understand what the Xiaguan said is true." ”
Su Heng nodded in agreement, and under the guidance of Xu Zhirong and Qin Yongyi, he led a few personal soldiers into this capital city with a population of one million.
Compared with Shouyang, Danyang City is indeed inferior to Shouyang in Kyoto, but there are many medical centers and private schools, and the streets and alleys can be seen everywhere, and the scale can even be comparable to Shouyang.
Wait, comparable to Shouyang...... Why is a Danyang City comparable to Jingshi?
Thinking of this, Su Heng suddenly stopped, and subconsciously glanced at the private school in the depths of the shallow alley, and the sound of the book was crisp and powerful.
Seeing that Su Heng was standing still, Xu Zhirong smiled slightly: "The gold and silver treasures of the Guanshan bandits who are filial to the lower officials every year, and the lower officials are used to build official roads, establish medical centers, and establish private schools. ”
After listening to Xu Zhirong's words, Su Heng thought that the official roads outside the city were indeed very neat and complete, and there were very few potholes, which was very rare in Danyang County, which was mostly a land of hills and lakes.
"If it is obviously not enough to rely on the gold and silver property of the robbers' filial piety, so every year the lower officials will go to Naguanshan to talk to their bandit leader Hu Dashan, try to fight for more property, and then establish a few more official private schools, and open a few more porridge fields to relieve the poor people."
It's crazy to talk to a bandit leader about this.
Su Heng began to admire this Xu Zhirong a little at this time, although the latter's reputation in the court was not very good, but at least what he said was right, he could do everything, but he still asked suspiciously: "How did you negotiate with the bandit leader?" ”
Xu Zhirong coughed and said: "Although the Guanshan bandits will honor several princes in the court every year, and rely on this as a support, arrogant and unscrupulous, but the lower officials are also strict with them, let them have more money to help those refugees, as long as the people can live, they will definitely not make things bigger, on the contrary, if Danyang is in chaos, it will inevitably shock the imperial court, and it is only a matter of time before sending troops to suppress the bandits." ”
After saying it in one breath, Xu Zhirong smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that I didn't expect that after maintaining this balanced relationship for several years, Xia Guan finally brought things to the top." ”
Xu Zhirong was very helpless and a little tired, Su Heng understood that on one side there were 100,000 bandits, on the other hand, there were poor people, and on the other hand, there were princes who were in the same stream with the bandits, Xu Zhirong was a small guard, but he played a major role in it, maintaining this balanced relationship all the time.
The key is that Xu Zhirong can't report this matter to the above, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark, if he has any abnormal movements, I am afraid that he will never see the sunrise on the second day.
If he died, several princes could suppress the situation in Guanshan, and the imperial court could also resend a taishou to take office.
The new Taishou must be a few people under the princes, and once they don't grasp this balance well, it will be those ordinary people who will suffer in the end.
"But I'm afraid those officials and adults in the court have always felt that they are the kind of heinous corrupt officials." Xu Zhirong smiled self-deprecatingly, his face was furrowed, full of helplessness.
Su Heng also sighed slightly, it is true that there are twists and turns in the impeachment of Xu Zhirong every day, but he has been suppressed by Zhao Wouji.
"If the 100,000 bandits are not eliminated for a day, Danyang County will not be at peace for a day, and the lives of these millions of civilians will be in danger at any time, since I am here, then the balance of Danyang County will be broken by me, I hope Lord Xu can help me when the time comes." Su Heng called Xu Zhirong Lord Xu for the first time, and there was no contempt in his tone when he first met, he was very polite, everything Xu Zhirong did was in front of him, and in his eyes, he respected him from the bottom of his heart.
Su Heng and Xu Zhirong are different, the latter is just a small Taishou and has no backer, and behind him is the Nine Emperor Princes Zhao Jinyu, although the power is not as good as the other princes, but this time he came to suppress the bandits by holy order, and he is justified, and sooner or later he will have a conflict with several princes, so it is better to let the conflict come as soon as possible.
Of course, Su Heng's biggest reliance is the inculcation of talent, although they are all recruits, they are well-armed, and there are also some experienced veterans in the army, coupled with the indoctrination of talent, even in the face of 100,000 bandits, it is not without hope of victory.
Hearing Su Heng's invitation, Xu Zhirong's righteous face just disappeared, and he changed to a greedy and fearful of death, and said in horror: "Sir, in the face of these 100,000 bandits, Xia Guan really can't think of any chance of winning for Mr., maybe it will anger that gang of bandits, and millions of people in Danyang County will suffer, besides, there are still children and old people in Xia Guan's family, I don't want to see their heads hanging on the gate tower of Danyang City one day, I really don't dare to take this risk with Mr." ”
thought that Xu Zhirong should be an upright person, and he had been lying on salary in Danyang County for several years, just waiting for an opportunity to suppress bandits. But the other party's refusal made Su Heng a little incomprehensible, and he couldn't see his true thoughts clearly, but Xu Zhirong definitely knew everything about the situation of the mountain bandits in Danyang County, and if he helped him this time, he would definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
"Since Mr. insists on fighting to the death with the Guanshan bandits, then the lower officials will not stop him, and he will say goodbye."
Without waiting for Su Heng to continue to open his mouth to plead, Xu Zhirong arched his hand first, quickly turned around and left, and the etiquette and politeness that greeted Su Heng at the beginning also disappeared without a trace.
Didn't you just invite me to stay at the house for a few days......
Looking at Xu Zhirong's back as he left in a hurry, Su Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, followed directly, and said to Qin Yongzhi without looking back: "Go, go to Xu's Mansion." ”
……
Danyang City, Xufu.
Xu Zhirong's mansion is definitely the most luxurious existence in the entire Danyang County, from the inside to the outside, all the furnishings and decorations are the most expensive and gorgeous.
The tables and chairs are made of high-quality agarwood, and the lettering on the door plaque is that the famous master spent several days, carefully carved one stroke at a time, and the vase of any furnishing in the house is worth a thousand taels of silver, and the others are mostly valuable.
With this mansion, it is understandable that the ministers of the DPRK and China impeach Xu Zhirong every day.
