Chapter 30: Strongholds

Although Li Ji was very annoyed now, he still frowned and thought about it, the current Shen County can be described as an internal and external predicament, and the first thing to solve is of course the matter of the White Lotus Sect, but the resettlement of the disaster victims must also be put on the agenda, and if you want to settle the disaster victims to the three towns, you must implement the matter of mining iron ore and building windmills, otherwise, the disaster victims go to the three towns, which will only increase the burden on the three towns!

Since Xiao Mo could come up with this plan, Li Ji pinned his hopes on Xiao Mo. 【&n】

Li Ji looked at Xiao Mo and asked, "For this construction of windmills, who can do this chief engineer according to Ziheng?" ”

The chief engineer is the meaning of the foreman, because the construction of the windmill is independent in Shen County, so it cannot be awarded an official position without being appointed by the imperial court, but mining iron ore, and then making steel, building the parts needed for the windmill, many personnel who need to be managed and some tedious work, this chief engineer must have some reputation in the county, and can shock this craftsman and miner, Xiao Mo thought about it, in addition to the chief bookkeeper Lu Lu in the county office, I am afraid that the second person will not be selected for a while.

But the construction of windmills is related to the life and death of the people in the three towns of Shen County, so Xiao Mo didn't dare to be careless, so he said to Li Ji: "But the chief engineer of the Lu book, the adults can call the Li Zheng of the three towns to the county government, and give orders one by one, let Lin Shishu be a supervisor, after all, the mine and the windmill are in the territory of Changle Town!" ”

Li Ji nodded when he heard this, and then asked another problem, that is, food, after the victims arrived in the three towns, with the current ability of the three towns, they would definitely not be able to take care of the victims, so Li Ji asked: "Where does the food that has been used to house the victims for several months come from?" ”

Xiao Mo thought for a while and said to Li Ji: "This is going through Du Shaofu." ”

Li Ji nodded, and then called the next person and asked people to call Du Teng, the three of them used a cup of tea, and then Du Teng came to Li Ji's study, and when he saw that Zhou Chang was also there, he hurriedly saluted, and then asked: "The two adults called the lower officials, but there are orders?" ”

Li Ji said: "It's not that we called you here, it's Ziheng who has something to find Shaofu!" ”

In the morning, Du Teng also saw Xiao Mo in the public house, and he also admired the abacus mantra written by Xiao Mo very much, studied it for a long time, and now heard that Xiao Mo was looking for himself, so he asked: "I don't know what Ziheng is looking for me?" ”

Du Teng is older than Xiao Mo, and his official position is also higher than Xiao Mo, but he is very respectful to Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo does not turn around, and says directly: "I want Shaofu to open a position, open a Feng to close a position!" ”

Xiao Mo said the three words 'Feng Liquidation' very seriously, Du Teng listened to it, and said with some embarrassment: "Why do you have to move Feng to close the position?" After that, Du Teng turned to Li Ji's side and said to Li Ji: "My lord, in three days, it will be the next resignation and transfer period, can you discuss this matter after these days?" ”

Du Teng also knew Xiao Mo's plan to build a windmill, but as soon as the construction started, he would definitely need food, so Du Teng also guessed Xiao Mo's intentions, but Du Teng was about to be transferred, and he would definitely not move Feng to close the position at the last moment.

So Du Teng asked Li Ji for advice, Li Ji thought about it, and said to Xiao Mo: "Ziheng, you may not know that Du Shaofu is already going to be transferred to Shuzhou, and his term of office in Shen County is only three days left......

Even Du Teng is leaving? Xiao Mo was a little surprised, and a little speechless, it seems that the old saying is right, they will fly separately when disaster comes, not to mention that Du Teng and Li Ji are not husband and wife, thinking of this, Xiao Mo shook his head again, and said secretly: Where did you think of it......

Xiao Mo asked Li Ji: "In this way, do you have to wait for the next Shaofu to arrive, and this Feng can only be opened?" ”

Li Ji thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily, if the next Shaofu is unwilling......

Speaking of this, Li Ji's face was a little embarrassed, although he was the person in charge of Shen County, but Shaofu also had an appointment from the imperial court, and he couldn't force it.

Hearing that Feng couldn't move when he closed the position, Xiao Mo had no choice but to remain silent.

Seeing Xiao Mo's silence, Li Ji's heart moved, and he said to Xiao Mo: "Actually, there is a way, it depends on whether Ziheng is willing or not!" ”

Xiao Mo rolled his eyes at Li Ji in his heart, and thought: What am I willing to do or not, I will also try my best for Shen County and for yourself......

Although he was dissatisfied, Xiao Mo didn't show it, and seeing that Xiao Mo was silent, Li Ji said: "At present, the only way is that Ziheng Ken is willing to take the position of this Shaofu and be in charge of the money and food of Shen County, so when Ziheng wants to open a Feng liquidation, he will open it!" ”

Xiao Mo was a little speechless, although Li Ji was a little deficient in governing civil affairs, he still had the ability to play tricks, no wonder, as the son of the former prime minister, if Li Ji couldn't even play tricks, then he would be in vain in the officialdom.

Li Ji's meaning is very simple, the seat of Shaofu is vacant, I mean let Ziheng take over you, this is a Jiupin official position appointed by the imperial court, and after you become Shaofu, you can use the money, food and property of Shen County as you want.

Of course, some Li Ji is in his heart, if Xiao Mo really takes over Shaofu and opens Feng Ping, there will be problems in the future, and it will not have much to do with Li Ji!

It's funny to say, Li Ji now relies on Xiao Mo, but he has to be prepared to retreat for the failure of Xiao Mo's plan in the future, and then give Xiao Mo all the black pot to carry it!

Li Ji thought in his heart, how could Xiao Mo not think of it? But for the sake of his own plan and the people of Heshen County, Xiao Mo finally agreed, and then said to Du Teng: "Du Shaofu, we will hand over early tomorrow morning, and then go to Feng to close the warehouse, open the warehouse, and transport all the grain to the three towns!" ”

After that, Xiao Mo saluted the three of them, then called Zhao Guanying, asked him to push himself, and walked out of Li Ji's study!

After Xiao Mo left, Du Teng pondered for a long time before asking Li Ji: "My lord, has it really decided to let Ziheng transport all the grain from Fengping's position?" ”

Li Ji glanced at Du Teng, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Mo had indeed said when he left, he would close the position and open the position, and then transport the grain land to the three towns.

Now Fengping is the lifeblood of Shen County, if the grain is shipped out, what should the people of Shen County do?

Thinking of this, Li Ji's brows furrowed even deeper.

Coming out of the county office, Xiao Mo, who had only been a secretary for a day, was about to be promoted and become the Shaofu of Shen County, but Xiao Mo's heart was not the slightest bit excited.

In the year of many disasters, Xiao Mo knew that he was in Shen County, and the bigger the position, the greater the responsibility, although Xiao Mo was bent on completing his plan, he was still a little dissatisfied with Li Ji's performance just now.

Li Ji's attitude of protecting himself made Xiao Mo's heart feel a little chilly.

On the way home, Zhao Guanying has been escorting, after arriving at home, Xiao Mo saw that Yang Yanqi and Zhou Kui were safe and sound, so he glanced at Zhou Kui, and then returned to his study, after a while, Zhou Kui and Yang Yanqi came to the study together, Xiao Mo saw Yang Yanqi and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Yang Yanqi said: "Aren't you going to ask the person who followed me?" In that case, then I'm leaving! ”

After that, Yang Yanqi turned around and left, and Zhou Kui hurriedly shouted: "Girl, slow down!" Then he said to Xiao Mo with some embarrassment: "Erlang, sprinkle the family...... The Sprinkler family lost the man, but ...... Miss Yang knew the man's whereabouts! ”

"Oh!" Xiao Mo saw that Zhou Kui was a little awkward, and knew that he was embarrassed, but Xiao Mo didn't care, so he said to Yang Yanqi: "So, the person who is following you, you already know his identity?" ”

Yang Yanqi nodded, and said with a cold face: "He is the previous owner of this family, Niu Fu!" ”

Xiao Mo nodded, it turned out that the person who was following Yang Yanqi was the previous owner of this house, so it was estimated that they were here to target Yang Yanqi, so he asked Yang Yanqi: "Where is Niu Fu now?" After a pause, Xiao Mo asked again, "Didn't you catch him?" ”

Yang Yanqi is Yang Ye's daughter, and after being a famous general, of course her skills are good, so Xiao Mo asked.

Yang Yanqi glanced at Xiao Mo and said, "Niu Fu entered an old house in Liuxiang in the east of the city, and there are more than a dozen men living in it, how can I catch him?" ”

After saying that, Yang Yanqi glanced at Xiao Mo with disdain, and then turned around and left.

Yang Yanqi was respectful to herself last night, why did it become like this today?

Xiao Mo had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, at this time, Zhao Guanying next to him said: "My lord, that cow is rich ......"

Xiao Mo asked, "What?" Brother Zhao also knows this person? ”

Zhao Guanying nodded and said: "Niu Fu's original name is Niu Fu, Niu Fu is just a pseudonym, this person is related to the White Lotus Sect, and he was already a wanted criminal in this county three months ago!" ”

"What? White Lotus Sect? ”

Hearing Zhao Guanying's words, Xiao Mo was taken aback, then looked at Zhou Kui and Zhao Guanying and said, "Then what are you doing stunned?" Brother Zhao went back to the county office, found the adult, and asked him to let Yan Zhutou bring people over, Brother Zhou, you go and call the eighth sister to lead the way, and we will arrest people! ”

After Xiao Mo finished speaking, Zhao Guanying and Zhou Kui both left the study, and only Xiao Mo pondered.

Listening to Yang Yanqi's words, there were more than a dozen people in the house where Niu Fu was, and it seemed that there must be a stronghold of the White Lotus Sect!
