The battle to exterminate the White Lotus Sect went smoothly, a chase down, most of the more than 10,000 White Lotus bandits gathered in Baliwan Town were annihilated, only a few legs escaped quickly, it can be regarded as a hearty victory, the fly in the ointment is that the widow and mother and son escaped the killing of the official army, although the Henan government ordered the whole province to be wanted, and reported to the Criminal Department to issue a sea arrest document, but Henan is in the year of the catastrophe, the chaos is incomparable, and it is difficult to find the whereabouts of the mother and son for a while, and the matter has become an unsolved case.

The matter of arresting the remaining bandits of the White Lotus Sect has the Henan government and the criminal department to worry about, but Hongqing has no time to pay attention to it, of course, even if he wants to get involved, he doesn't have the ability, after all, the "sharp knife" in his hand is only in the initial stage, and the government can still rely on the energy of the "Qilin Firm" to stir up, as for the rivers and lakes, I really can't take care of it now, since he arrived in Kaifeng with the army, and handed over the captured female bandit Lu Yanran to the government, Hongqing simply no longer cares about the beginning and end of this matter, I didn't care about the disaster relief of the third master, and the good student rested for a few days, and then put all his thoughts on river management, and discussed secretly with Chen Qidong, the deputy general manager of the river who rushed to Kaifeng in advance, and finally came up with a detailed comprehensive management of the Yellow River and the regulations for the transformation of water transportation to shipping.

The charter is there, in Hongqing's view, the feasibility is also very high, but the matter is big, not that Hongqing can have the final say, or even the third master can make a detailed decision, after all, there are too many aspects involved in this matter, after all, the old man has to make a decision before he can let go, of course, before reporting to the inner court, he must also seek the approval of the third master and the governor of Henan, Rongzhu, but the disaster relief affairs are extremely cumbersome, the third master is so busy that he has not touched the ground, and he has not returned to the post station for several days, all running back and forth in the disaster areas, Hongqing was anxious, so he could only wait patiently for the third master's turn in the post station.

"Little prince, wake up, the prince is back."

The charter has been put in order, and the third master has not returned, idle and bored, Hongqing has to sleep to pass the time, not that Hongqing does not want to go to the city to shop, but the current Kaifeng city has countless victims, chaos is tight, God knows if there are any White Lotus bandits who have slipped through the net, Hongqing does not want to risk his own life, more is better than less, just nest in the post station will be on it, no, the day has just passed noon, after lunch, Hongqing went to the bed, covered with a thin sheet, and slept comfortably again, Not long after closing his eyes, Liu San'er's urgent shout came from his ears.

"Well, got it, change clothes!"

Hongqing was drowsy at this time, but as soon as he heard that the third master was back, the only remaining sleepiness immediately disappeared, and he turned over and got up with a grunt, and gave an order, and Liu San'er waited for him to change into a new shirt, and then hurried to the study.

"The child knocks on his father!"

Fang just turned the screen in front of the door of the study, and saw that the third master was sitting behind the copy, and he whispered to Li Minquan with a smile on his face.

"Excuse me, sit down."

Seeing Hongqing's arrival, the smile on the third master's face suddenly became a little kinder, and he raised his hand and motioned for Hongqing to sit down and talk.

"Thank you, Father Wang Longen."

Seeing that the third master was so happy, Hongqing's careful eyes immediately came alive, and under the brain teaser, he had faintly guessed the root cause of the third master's interest, but he didn't say much, just thanked him respectfully, walked to the empty chair opposite Li Minquan, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, and put on a look of listening to the instructions.

"Qing'er came just in time, Ama originally planned to have someone call you, but I heard that you were taking a nap, so I gave up, and now that it's up, then it's okay to discuss it, well, let's take a look at this newspaper first, and we will discuss it later."

The third master was obviously very satisfied with Hongqing's humble attitude, nodded with a smile, pointed to a copy of the newspaper on the table, and ordered with a hint of excitement.

"Yes, the boy obeys."

Since the third master had orders, Hongqing didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly got up, walked quickly to the copywriter, bowed down and picked up the Di newspaper, and after a salute, he retreated to his seat, carefully flipped through the stack of Di Bao in his hand, just one look, and the mood was suddenly very good, not for anything else, just because what this Di Bao said was the matter of Jingshi's debt, and the fourth master really moved, and he really played the set that Hongqing made in the Hecao Yamen, what to grab the handle, play high pressure, The noise was extremely cheerful, according to the Di newspaper, the effect was quite good, in less than a month, it was already forcibly cleared out of the deficit of nearly 10 million taels, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the results are remarkable.

"Father Mingjian, the child thought that the fourth uncle was going to cause big trouble, and the Jingshi would be in chaos, but for the father, it was a good thing."

Others may not be able to see that there is something hidden behind the remarkable results, but Hongqing has long expected it, since he knows how deep the water of the Jingshi is, and he knows how fierce the rebound will be under the pressure, of course, Hongqing believes that the third master must have seen this, so he will be interested, because of this, Hongqing did not hide his opinion, and gave a conclusion straightforwardly.

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

The fourth master is going to be in big trouble, which the third master can see clearly, and it is precisely because of this that the third master agreed to Hongqing's proposal at the beginning, and automatically took over such a drudgery for disaster relief in Henan, in order to avoid the big turmoil that is about to break out in Beijing, and also have the heart to wait for the time when the trouble in Beijing is unentangible, and then return to Beijing to clean up the mess, but when it comes to specific strategies, the third master has not thought much about it for a while, but it is always difficult to say that he is absolutely sure, and now he sees Hongqing speaking so confidently, and he is interested. Then he hurriedly asked a question.

"So that the father knows, the child thinks that the Beijing master is deep, blindly strong, although it can succeed for a while, but it is difficult to break for a long time, there will be a rebound under the pressure, really at that time, the children of the Eight Banners will gather in Tiananmen Square for a while or will be repeated, even if the fourth uncle has some precautions, it is difficult to stop the joint efforts of the uncles, and its failure is inevitable, this is not to be discussed, I think the father is also clear, and now the person who is worried, except how to get rid of the chaos and put the ear right, the child has four strategies to solve this misfortune."

Hongqing briefly analyzed the future trend of the current situation in Beijing, and then confidently expressed his absolute confidence in the aftermath.

"Well, even if Qing'er doesn't hit what she said, I'm afraid it's not far away, as for setting things right, will you plan to come out?"

As soon as he heard Hongqing say this, the third master's eyes immediately lit up, and some of them couldn't wait to ask.

"The first policy is also simple, that is, the child has used the repayment agreement in the Hecao Yamen, whether it is in Beijing officials or local governments, the arrears are accumulated over the years, and the real desire to pay off the arrears in a short period of time, how can it be possible, there must be steps to do it, within a few years, can have nearly half of the clearance, it is already difficult, but there is this repayment agreement, one of the people who owe can have a buffer room, when the dog does not jump off the wall, second, the people who owe are all powerful, to the way to make money, but there is a buffer, it is not difficult to pay off, The deficit in the treasury can also be alleviated, which can be described as the way to boil a frog in warm water. ”

Hongqing explained the first strategy in detail with a smile, but did not rush to say the other two strategies, but left enough time for the third master to think.

"Boiled frogs in warm water?"

The third master is a shrewd person, and he understands the truth of the repayment plan mentioned by Hongqing as soon as he hears it, but he is at a loss for the word "boiled frog in warm water", so he snorted with curiosity.

"Father Mingjian, the frog, is the frog that is commonly seen in the field, if it is thrown into the boiling water, it will jump out desperately, but if it is placed in a pot of cold water, slowly simmered with fire, the water gradually heats up, and the frog is unconscious, brought to the hot water pole, the frog wants to jump, has no power, this is the origin of the boiled frog in warm water, the child is also occasionally read miscellaneous books to see, yes or no, but it still needs to be tested."

Boiling frogs in warm water is a famous experiment of conditioned reflex in later generations, this is not a principle that people in this era understand, Hongqing also did not hold the door for a while, said that he missed his mouth, and then he heard the third master ask, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed in his heart, and hurriedly explained it randomly.

"I see, it's an interesting word, well, there are two more strategies, and let's hear them together."

As soon as he heard Hongqing's explanation, the third master was relieved, and secretly praised the good use of this word in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, but asked quietly.

"Back to the father's words, the second policy is to return the fire to the public, this policy is used exclusively to clean up the local officials, now the silver is cheap and the copper is expensive, the official price is one or two silver thousand dollars, but in fact, one or two silver in the world is only seven hundred and fifty dollars, how can the grass people come to such as a lot of silver two tax contributions, most of them are counted in copper coins, and the taxes paid by officials around the country are all in official silver, and every two must also get three dollars of fire consumption, the difference in the amount, huge, if not rectified, the local government will be eroded, this must not be careless!"

Although the policy of returning fire consumption to the public is what Hongqing saw from the TV series in his previous life, Hongqing himself has not collected much information in this regard, and he knows it very well in his heart.

"This group of thieves has swallowed so much silver taels in private, and they dare to reach out to the treasury, they are really greedy!"

The third master is a shrewd individual, just as soon as he hears it, he understands the strangeness, and quickly calculates, and immediately realizes how greedy the officials below are, and he is really angry, and he slammed the copywriter and scolded angrily.

Well, don't be angry, if it weren't for our business, wouldn't you have reached out to the treasury, and I didn't see you feel guilty at that time.

Seeing that the third master was so angry, Hongqing secretly laughed in his heart, and scolded the third master fiercely, but he didn't dare to bring it to his face, but made a respectful appearance, sat quietly, and waited for the third master to ask himself.

"Hmph, this king has been the emperor of this emperor Amma, if this matter is not forbidden, the country will not be a country, this matter will be postponed, what about Qing'er and the third policy?"

The third master's anger came and went quickly, and after the seizure, he didn't say any more, and asked again.

"Father Mingjian, the fire consumption is not avoidable, because the official silver is indeed a fire consumption, when the child was in the Ministry of Industry, he had done an experiment in private, and in general he did need to get a penny, if it is completely banned, the officials must not pay out of their own pockets, so it is not feasible to return to the public to deal with it uniformly, and then, the official position is thin and fat, can not wait for a also, because of this, the officialdom of the camp is more than the place, the child's third policy is for this matter, that is, to raise incorruptible silver."

Seeing that the third master had calmed down, Hongqing smiled gently, and explained the foundation of the third strategy, but did not explicitly say the middle way, but sold a pass here.

"Raising incorruptible silver? This ......"

As soon as he heard Hongqing come up with a new term, the third master couldn't help but be stunned, glanced at Hongqing sideways, and was about to ask a question, but saw Li Minxing striding in from outside, so he stopped talking, looked over with a slight frown, and his face was full of impatience.
