"Found?" Lin Zhao sat up straight suddenly, and asked Zhengse, "Who is it?" ”

Su An said in a deep voice: "Lu Ji and Lu Shan are both from Jinjiang, Quanzhou, and the Lu family is a well-known family in the local area, and there is now a talented person in the clan who holds an important position in the court, and is considered to have a bright future!" ”

"Who?"

"Under Wang Xianggong, the regulations of the three divisions are set up to check the detailed text, and Lu Huiqing, the young secretary of the nong!"

This answer made Lin Zhao a little shocked, he never expected that the backstage of the Lu brothers would be Lu Huiqing.

Lu Huiqing, a native of Jinjiang, Quanzhou, and his father was the Zhangpu Order. Huiqing was a junior in the second year of Renzong Jiayou, the same year as the Su Shi brothers and Zeng Gong brothers. How fierce the competition in the Jiayou two-year Dragon and Tiger List is, and being able to stand out from it shows that Lu Huiqing's knowledge and ability are still quite good.

However, at the very beginning, Lu Huiqing was only developing step by step. It wasn't until the reign of Shenzong Xining that he began to soar because he was appreciated by a person. This person is the original Hanlin bachelor, and the current governor Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi had a high praise for Lu Huiqing, and once said to Emperor Zhao Ji: "The sage of Huiqing, how can it be a special person, although the Confucian in the previous life, it is not easy to compare, learn the way of the first king, and those who can use it are only Huiqing!" ”

At the beginning of Xining's reform, Lu Huiqing was appointed as the detailed text and was responsible for drafting the provisions of the reform. Wang Anshi has a lot of trust in him, and everything must be planned no matter how big or small, and all the suggestions and chapters are his pen. It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Huiqing is Wang Anshi's most effective assistant, and can even be said to be the second person in the New Party.

Due to its special existence, it plays a large role in the reform of the law, such as the Qingmiao Law and many other reform items were written by Lu Huiqing. The soul of Xining's reform comes from Wang Anshi, but it also incorporates many of Lu Huiqing's thoughts, and he is also a specific implementer, there is no doubt about it.

Lu Huiqing's current official position is not high, but it is certain that he has a bright future, and the No. 2 person in the New Party has great power under the great wave of law changes, and his future future is unlimited. In the original history, when Wang Anshi dismissed the prime minister, Lu Huiqing became the new representative of the new party, and the official was appointed as the governor of the political affairs, that is, the deputy prime minister.

Such a character will instigate hoarding and driving up prices? Is this necessary? If it is someone else, it may not, but Lu Huiqing is really hard to say, because this guy's character is not very good.

Before the reform began, Lu Huiqing had a heated debate with Sima Guang. After that, Sima Guang once said to Emperor Zhao Ji: "Huiqing is not a good man, and he has done everything he has done to slander Anshi at home and abroad." An Shi is virtuous and sorrowful, not idle in world affairs, Huiqing is the master, and An Shi does it, so the world is not referred to as the annihilation of evil. Those who are close are not promoted, and they are not tired of the hearts of the people. ”

It means that Lu Huiqing is not a good person, Wang Anshi is virtuous, but he is stubborn and self-serving, not idle in world affairs, and most of the things are planned by his mastermind Lu Huiqing, which caused Wang Anshi to encounter a lot of slander and misunderstanding.

Emperor Zhao Ji said: "Hui Qingjin is discerning and discerning, and he is also like a beautiful talent. "Lu Huiqing is very clear and understands everything in his words, and he also seems to be a good talent.

Sima Guangyu was not shocked, and gave a ruthless answer: "Huiqing is honest and wise, but her intentions are not right, I hope Your Majesty will investigate it." If Jiang Chong and Li Xun are talented, how can they move people? ”

Jiang Chong was a figure in the later years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the clown who jumped the beam in the scourge of witches, framed the queen Wei Zifu and the crown prince Liu Ju, and was a stinking minister for thousands of years. Li Xun was a minister during the Tang Wenzong period, and the famous "Manna Change" was directed by him, but the result was defeated, which made the decline of the late Tang Dynasty worse.

Sima Guang compared Lu Huiqing with these two, and the implication could not be more obvious. Although Sima Guang is stubborn, he is a righteous gentleman, and he will not be slandered because of an argument with Lu Huiqing.

Emperor Zhao Ji was silent, and Sima Guang wrote to An Shi: "A foolish person, Yu Gong today said that sincerity has a smooth and suitable speed, once he loses power, he will sell the public and sell himself." ”

Wang Anshi was very unhappy at the time and didn't care at all. But he never expected that Sima Guang's words would become a prophecy. After the first dismissal of the prime minister, Lu Huiqing was pushed to the position of participating in political affairs, wanting to preserve the continuation of the reform.

But it didn't take long for Wang Anshi to be summoned to Bianjing by Song Shenzong again and became the prime minister again. Lu Huiqing thought that Wang Anshi threatened his position, so he went crazy and attacked his teacher, linked Wang Anshi with a rebellion case, and framed and attacked Wang Anshi everywhere.

It was in this situation, coupled with the death of his son, that Wang Anshi was hit hard and resigned for the second time. To a certain extent, the untimely death of Xining's reform is closely related to Lu Huiqing's actions.

It can be seen that this guy is an ungrateful and unscrupulous master for the sake of power and self-interest. In the records of the Song Dynasty, he was also classified in the "Biography of the Annihilators". It can be seen that Sima Guang is worthy of being a historian, and his vision is quite accurate.

So the Lu brothers hoarded Juqi in Hangzhou and raised the price of grain, which was really instigated by Lu Huiqing? Lin Zhao is not familiar with Lu Huiqing, and his current understanding is only limited to the first half, so it is not easy to grasp his character.

Su An said: "It's not easy to assert this matter, and it may also be the work of Lu Huiqing's brothers!" ”

As the saying goes, one person ascends to heaven with a chicken dog, and after Lu Huiqing is developed, his two younger brothers, Lu Shengqing, who is not learned and unskilled, are introduced as attendants, and the other younger brother Lu Heqing also enters the official career. There is a saying that the country is easy to change, and the original surname is difficult to change, but the real surname of these two people who are greedy for money and profit is not easy to change.

Su An added: "Childe, there are signs that this may be the case. ”

"Lu Huiqing!" Lin Zhao replied lightly, whether the main messenger is Lu Huiqing himself or his brother, in the end, the matter will have a lot to do with it. Lu Huiqing's character situation is like that, and now that he is proud of Wang Anshi's scenery, he is bound to be even more arrogant.

Lin Zhao is not afraid of this, the key is Lu Huiqing's current identity, and the detailed text of the Regulations Department of the Three Divisions has been prepared. Now the relationship with Wang Xianggong is in the honeymoon period, and he is an indispensable right-hand man. Because of the conflict with Lu Huiqing in this matter, what will Wang Anshi's attitude be?

Will it affect the implementation of the reform? Although because of the torrential rain and flooding, Lin Zhao has not implemented the green seedling law for a long time. However, at least for now, he is still very optimistic about the change, and it is inevitable that there will be some constraints.

After thinking about it, it was the Lu family's injustice in front of me, and I couldn't blame me for some things. As for Lu Huiqing, if he is really a person who can put the people in fire and water and make black money with a clear conscience, is there still any need to take care of it?

"Do Lu Ji and Lu Shan have any moves now?" Lin Zhao asked in a deep voice, knowing the backstage opponent, many questions became clear. It's not good to do anything to the owner, so I have to beat the dog first!

"They're still buying food at all costs!"

"What? Do you think that hoarded food is still not enough? Lin Zhao sneered.

Su An said: "They can be said to be pervasive, after many people buy grain in Meng's grain store, they will buy it at three times or even five times the price when they go back to the Lu family!" ”

"Do the people sell them?"

"Sell!"

Lin Zhao slapped the table with his big hand and said angrily: "Damn! These people are really, don't they know that the most precious thing at the moment is food? ”

Su An explained: "Many people are greedy for small bargains, thinking that they can buy low-cost grain from Meng's grain store anyway, so they take this opportunity to make money!" It is estimated that half of the grain sold by Meng's grain store may be transferred to Meng's hands! ”

didn't expect this to be the case, Lin Zhao realized that he had underestimated one thing, that is, the consciousness of small citizens. The people who sell grain are so stupid that they try to make a small amount of money by this means. As everyone knows, this is actually suicide, throwing away life-saving rations.

Once there is a problem with the food supply of the Meng family, and the goal of some people to bully and dominate the market is achieved, then they will have to spend ten times or even twenty times the price to buy grain.

The Lu brothers are really not vegetarians, and their tricks are really ruthless, which makes people overwhelmed. In this case, there is only one way to accompany you to the end.

"Is Qinghe Grain Bank rich? Will they be able to support it? Lin Zhao asked in a deep voice, this is a very critical question.

Yu Xuan gave the answer: "There may have been a lot before, but now, it may all be replaced by food!" ”

Su An also said: "That's right, they have been hoarding Juqi for a while, and now they have high-priced grain, and the funds must be tight!" ”

"Then if, when all their money is turned into grain, the price of grain fails to rise......" Lin Zhao smiled coldly, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.

Yu Xuan is good at financial management, and he can understand it at one point, and said: "Childe's idea is good, but how much food can be used to consume the Lu family's money?" If the position is empty, we will fall short, and the gains outweigh the losses! What's more, Qinghe has several branches in Zhejiang and Fujian, and they can transport grain! ”

"It's easy to do!" Lin Zhao said: "They play conspiracy and tricks, then we will use the sun to conspire in the light!" Immediately dispatch errand officers to conduct inspections at various waterway ports, on the one hand to maintain law and order, on the other hand, to ensure the safety of ship navigation, the tragedy before Suzhou can not be staged in Hangzhou, how to do, you know! ”

Su An nodded in response, this matter is as easy as a breeze!

"It's a matter of food...... Lin Zhao pondered for a long time, and said, "It seems that I have to meet someone......"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Qinghetang, Lu Shan hurriedly entered the door and said: "Eldest brother, the effect is good today, the grain purchased has reached sixty percent, or it won't be long before the Meng family and Lin Zhao can't hold on!" ”

"Hmph, that's what you want!" Lu Ji said: "I don't believe it, Lin Zhao dares to short the position of Chang Ping!" ”

"That's what I said, but ......" Lu Shan hesitated: "But big brother, our money is consumed too fast, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it for long!" ”

"At this time, you must hold on, if you give up, it will fall short, and now you are more able to persevere!" Lu Ji asked in a deep voice: "Have the letters to Erlang and Sanlang ever arrived in Bianjing?" ”

"It's almost there!"

Lu Ji snorted coldly: "Then it doesn't matter, as soon as Da Lang makes a move, hehe...... Let's hold on first and see who can laugh at the end! ”
