Chapter 25: Winter (3)

Zhao Gu 'chuckled' in his heart, and without saying a word, he directly took the dart master back to his brother's dart shop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When I arrived at the dart shop, it was bleak in the dart shop, and I thought everyone knew the news that the two dogs and three people were arrested.

These dart masters are all good children, the most feared is the government, now the dart bureau in the four big darts have been captured three of them, they are naturally panicked, feel that the sky is about to fall.

Zhao Gu had to comfort these dart masters first, and waited until the dart masters were in a better mood, and then began to ask about the arrest of the two dogs and the three people.

After inquiry, it was learned that during this period of time, the three of them had been busy taking orders everywhere to make money, and they were quite famous in Kaifeng City, but they were somehow noticed by the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.

Through every possible investigation, they slowly mastered the physical characteristics of the two dogs and three people who first spread the rumors.

After hearing this, Zhao Gu was shocked, the crime of spreading rumors can be big or small, if the government doesn't want to investigate deeply, then it's naturally fine, but if the government wants to kill him, the two dogs and the three of them are afraid that their heads will not be guaranteed.

The most important thing at the moment is to find out who is investigating the rumors and what the attitude of the government is, these two points are the important factors that determine the future of the two dogs and the three of them.

Zhao Gu was about to send someone to the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion to probe the situation, but unexpectedly, the old man who was guarding the door of his brother's dart shop ran in quickly, and said in a breathless report: "The people from the official mansion are here again." ”

Zhao Gu frowned, but he still stubbornly rushed forward, and he didn't want to bump into two acquaintances head-on, it was the head of the cell who was injured by him before and the official who snatched the lantern from him at the beginning.

"Zhao Gu, it's really you." When the cell leader saw Zhao Gu, he pointed at him and sneered.

Immediately, the cell boss said to a powerful catcher behind him with a flattering face: "Hu Zhutou, this person is Zhao Gu, the second dog and a few of them are spreading rumors and smearing the government, I am afraid that it will be his demagoguery behind him." ”

Hu Zhutou said 'um' and hugged his fist at Zhao Gu: "Sir, please come with me, Lord Li is invited." ”

This Lord Li is naturally not Li Hao, he has already been buried in a deep mountain and old forest by Ergouzi, Zhao Gu understood after a little pondering, Lord Li in Hu Zhutou's mouth should be Yin Li Fu of Kaifeng Mansion.

Hearing Hu Zhutou call himself Mr., Zhao Gu felt a little relieved, from this point of view, Li Fu's attitude towards him was quite friendly, which proved that the two dogs and the three of them were not in danger for the time being.

"Okay, there's Lao Hu catching the head." Zhao Gu said with a smile.

At that moment, after Zhao Gu and a dart master explained a few words, he followed Hu Zhutou out of the dart line, went straight to the second hall of Kaifeng Mansion, and met Li Fu, the first magistrate of the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Fu is about forty or fifty years old, with a friendly face, looks suave and elegant, and has a long beard, which is easy to make a good impression.

But when Zhao Gu took a closer look, he found that his eyes were very bright and eye-catching, which showed that this was a person who was gentle on the outside, but was actually jealous and hateful.

"I've seen Master Li." Zhao Gu hugged his fists.

Li Fu nodded lightly, and did not let him sit down, but asked, "You were the one who spread Li Hao's rumors all over the street before, right?" ”

Zhao Gu felt bitter in his heart, you have already caught the two dogs and the three of you, and then ask if it is me, is there any meaning?

After thinking about it, Zhao Gu decided to tell the truth, so he nodded very dryly.

Li Fu smiled coldly: "The official who escorted Li Hao to serve was also knocked out by you?" What about Li Haoren? ”

When Zhao Gu heard this, he immediately thought of denying it in his heart.

Just kidding, although Li Hao has been dismissed, he is still a third-grade official in the imperial court, and the crime of assassinating him is too big, he will not admit it stupidly.

Seeing Zhao Gu's denial, Li Fu rolled his eyes inexplicably: "It seems that the old man is really right, you are not only brilliant in wisdom, but also shameless enough, not bad." ”

Old man? Old man again?

What the hell is he going to do? Why do I always feel like he's staring at me?

It's not that Zhao Gu is too sensitive, but during this time, Zhao Gu can almost always hear others mention him, whether it's the Lord of Cheshire, Cao Wei, or Li Fu, the Great Song magnates that Zhao Gu has come into contact with seem to be serving the elderly, and these people are always changing Zhao Gu's life.

Not surprisingly, Li Fu will assign tasks to Zhao Gu next, just as Cheshire wants him to subdue the sixteen states of Yanyun, and Cao Wei wants him to join the army.

Sure enough, Li Fu continued: "Whether you admit it or not, Li Hao's disappearance has nothing to do with you, and the three of Ergouzi are your accomplices. ”

"Of course, their faults can be big or small, and if someone can do the official a favor, the official will be extrajudicial to them."

Zhao Gu rolled his eyes in his heart, and sure enough, it was the same old way, threatening him with things he had committed or people he cared about, and forcing him to solve the problem.

"Then Master Li, just tell me, what do you want me to help you with?" Zhao Gu said helplessly.

Li Fu heard that he was willing to help, showed a smile, and said: "Now you have also seen it, there are many people outflow from the city, public order is chaotic, and although the imperial court has been strong in disaster relief, it is not a matter to go on like this." In addition, the people in Kaifeng City robbed the grain, causing the profiteers to raise their prices, causing a great panic. ”

Zhao Gu thought for a moment, and then asked, "In other words, there are two problems in the imperial court. First, they are reluctant to give too much food for disaster relief. Second, rising grain prices have caused panic among the people. ”

"Well, that's right." Li Fu nodded.

"Then let me ask, is the food stockpiled by the imperial court really enough for so many people to eat for one winter?" Zhao Gu asked again.

Li Fu smiled proudly: "That's natural, our Great Song Dynasty has had good weather in recent years, the country and the people are safe, and the grain reserves are amazing, and we can completely afford these displaced people." ”

"Isn't that easy?" Zhao Gu secretly despised the officials of the imperial court in his heart, and then said.

"What's the easy way?" Li Fu asked.

"The imperial court can put up a notice to recruit displaced people to open up wasteland, build cities, etc., and these displaced people will have food to eat when they work, and they will also be fed, so that they will not be idle to eat, and the court is equivalent to hiring them to work with grain. As for the elderly, children, women and children who were unable to work, the imperial court still carried out disaster relief outside the city. Once this news is released, the displaced people will know that the imperial court is not short of food, will they still be so panicked? Will the people of the city still scramble to be the first to grab the last food? Zhao Gu said.

"It's the best of both worlds. What about the fields that have been carved out? How should the imperial court distribute it? The displaced people will return to their hometowns in the spring, should these fields be given to them, or should they be assigned to public ownership? If this matter is not handled well, it will also make the displaced people resent the court, right? Li Fu asked again.

"This is even better, when the spring flowers bloom next year and the displaced people return to their hometowns, the Kaifeng Mansion can sell the fields they have opened up to the people of Kaifeng Prefecture, and then distribute the money from the sale of the fields to the displaced people for travel expenses, so that it will be a good thing for the people on both sides." Zhao Gu replied.

Li Fu nodded again and again after hearing this, his eyes sparkling with appreciation.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head again: "Sir, let me tell you the truth, your suggestion is indeed very good, but this is based on the fact that the imperial court has enough food. But didn't that old man have the heart to implement the plan you gave him to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun? When the army goes on an expedition, it will inevitably consume a lot of grain and grass, so that the imperial court disaster relief will inevitably have a shortage of grain and grass, and the old man wants to save this batch of grain and grass, but he is unwilling to delay the disaster relief. ”

"I don't know what your opinion is on this matter, sir?"
