Stepping out of the gate, Xu Zhi barely calmed down, looked up at the plaque of the Yansheng Mansion, and panicked for no reason. As a scholar who brewed out the Four Books and Five Classics, the Yansheng Mansion is the Holy Land, the Jerusalem of foreign priests. As a last resort, he never wanted to conflict with the Kong family.

However, Shandong is full of disasters and famines, and if you don't force big families to pay money and grain, you will die, and the officials will force the people to rebel, and you have to rebel!

For the sake of your own head, for the sake of the black gauze hat, you have to fight hard!

Xu Zhi stood in front of the door, looked at the black and oppressive people, cleared his throat, and said: "Fellow villagers, as a parent official, I will definitely not let everyone starve and freeze, I have already issued an order to ask the big families in various places to take out food and help the victims." Shandong is the hometown of saints, the people are simple and simple, and the people are generous. In order to relieve the victims, Yan Sheng Gong is willing to donate all the grain to store food for disaster relief, and the big guys don't have to worry, they will be able to eat food soon. ”

"Really?"

All the people looked at each other, and the buzzing was incessant.

For many years, the Kong family has been a porcelain rooster, how can it become generous this time? No need to ask, it must be all the credit of Lord Zhongcheng.

The people in front of them knelt down one after another, kowtowing and bursting into tears.

"Thank you Lord Qingtian, thank you Lord for saving your life!"

Xu Zhi smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Everyone get up, the official will send someone to release the grain, everyone will wait here!" ”

Parting the crowd, turning around and about to leave, a few people suddenly popped out of the Confucian Mansion.

The leader is an old man with white hair, his name is Kong Shangxian, and he is Kong Yinzhi's uncle according to his generation. He is in charge of the business shop, and recently because of the white-haired girl's singing, there are voices of opposition to the Kong family everywhere, and his business has naturally been affected.

Hearing that Xu Zhongcheng was coming, he thought about discussing it with his parents, at least to protect the Kong family's property from impact.

Unexpectedly, his abacus was wrong, Xu Zhi was so mad that he wanted to move the Kong family's grain store, he was so angry that he was angry!

"Xu Zhi, are you a scholar, my Kong family's thousands of mouths, all pointing to the business name to maintain, do you want to cut off the financial route and let us all starve to death?"

"Starvation? Not really. Xu Zhi sneered: "The imperial court has been rewarded continuously over the years, and there is no need for anything else, just with the fields and money rewarded by the imperial court, your Kong family will eat dozens of dishes at a time, and you can't squander them." This official has collected the grain line, what will happen to the Kong family, and these displaced people will be able to have porridge to drink and live! ”

The words were sonorous and powerful, and Xu Zhi had never realized that he still had such ability.

After a few words, all the people were silent for a while, and then burst into thunderous applause.

"Okay, what a big blue sky, the little one kowtows to you!"

Xu Zhi left with his head held high amid the applause, leaving only the Kong family looking at each other with tears in their eyes, and their energy was drained......

"Grandpa Guo, the humble post has issued an order to seal up the Kong family's grain store and distribute all the stored grain to the people." Xu Zhi said with a hunch.

"Hehe, Xu Zhongcheng, well done. Not only the grain store, but also the silk village, the garment shop, and the salt shop were all seized, and they were divided if they could. Didn't Sage Kong value agriculture over commerce, and his descendants actually relied on the last industry to accumulate wealth, how can it be reasonable! Xu Zhongcheng, after counting the number, immediately went to the imperial court and vigorously participated in Kong Yanzhi. ”

Listening to Zhang Ke's words, the corners of Xu Zhi's mouth twitched.

He has done enough to go too far, and after seeing this grandfather, then he knows what arsenic mixed with garlic is, poisonous and spicy!

Xu Zhi looked embarrassed, and said worriedly: "Grandpa Guo, confiscating the grain can barely be said to be for the sake of the disaster victims, in order to calm the people's grievances." If all of them are confiscated, I am afraid that it will force the Kong family dog to jump off the wall in a hurry. Humble position, low position really does not have the courage to do so. ”

Zhang Ke stood up with a smile and paced lightly on the ground.

"Xu Zhongcheng, you may not have worked with Benjue, since I let you do it, Benjue will do whatever he can, whoever dares to be unfavorable to you is Benjue's enemy!"

Zhang Ke stared at Xu Zhi and said with a smile: "Do you think that Benjue's strength can't keep you?" ”

Xu Zhi read a strong self-confidence from his slow words, this guy in front of him has a heavy army, talking and laughing, Jiannu is in ashes, of course he has this capital!

plopped, Xu Zhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Grandpa Guo, of course I don't dare to doubt the Duke of Guo, but I think that the Kong family, as a saint and a Miao descendant, will respond to every call in Shilin, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar, even if I am not afraid, but there are many flies, it is still annoying!"

"Hahaha, Xu Zhongcheng, don't worry, we just light the fire, and there will be others to renew the firewood later." Zhang Ke said with a smile: "I have already asked Qiao Fu to collect evidence of the Kong family's crimes, you can now go and count their shops and acres, as well as the tenant farmers under him, draw up a detailed list of these things, and immediately distribute them." ”

Although Confucius's name is bigger than the sky, it has been passed down for dozens of generations, and his bloodline has long been thin. What's more, the descendants of the Kong family not only do evil, but whenever there is a change of dynasty, they rush to worship the pier first. Not to mention in the past, just Jin Guo and Meng Yuan, they were full of ugliness.

According to the original history, the current Yansheng Gong Kong Yinzhi knelt down to Li Zicheng first, and then knelt down to the Manchu Qing Tartars, and Lu Bu was scolded as a slave with three surnames, but the Confucian family has more than thirty surnames......

It is conceivable that if the evidence of the crime is spread out and the family property is made public, the reputation of the Confucian family will be at least half stinky, and the word "holy" of the Yan Shenggong will only have to be discussed.

This move is tantamount to offending the Kong family, it is simply an undying hatred, Xu Zhi still wants to continue to be an official, this determination is really not easy to make, so anxious that his forehead is sweating, and his hands and feet are trembling.

Zhang Ke walked up to Xu Zhi and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Lord Xu."

"Ah, Grandpa Guo!" Xu Zhi panicked.

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Benjue has only one experience in governing Liaodong, that is, to grasp the big head, what is the big head?" It is those grass people, as long as they win their sincere support, they will have tax revenues and soldiers. Not to mention the nominal Yan Shenggong, what can Jiannu do? ”

Xu Zhi was shocked when he heard this, and said in a panic: "Grandpa Guo, you are eloquent and strategic, how dare you compare with your humble position!" ”

"Hehe, Lord Xu, Benjue has already formed the Jinzhou Water Division, and Ming Wenyuan of the Denglai Water Division also obeys Benjue's orders, do you know what this means?"

"This—" Xu Zhi exclaimed in surprise, almost biting his tongue.

Zhang Ke said with a smile: "With the water division, Shandong and Liaodong are one, and 100,000 Yizhou soldiers are your backing." Lord Xu, are you still afraid? ”

There is no need to talk nonsense anymore, Xu Zhi finally knows that he dares to love this grandfather who wants to bring Shandong under control!

What is he going to do?

Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Li Yuan, Huang Chao, Zhao Kuangyin...... A series of fierce generals swept through his heart.

But do you have a choice? Peeked at Zhang Ke's dark eyes, full of strong confidence, don't think about going down when you get on the thief ship.

Xu Zhi gritted his teeth, pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, and prostrate in front of Zhang Ke.

"Humble Xu Zhi, from now on obey the orders of the Duke of Guo, I will do whatever the Grandpa of the Kingdom asks me to do, and I will never frown!"

Zhang Ke picked up Xu Zhi with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Benjue will not harm his own people, just be ruthless to the Kong family, ensure fame and fortune, and put your heart in your stomach!" ”R1152
