Jiangdu, Zhang Fangyan put down the official document in his hand and sighed again and again.

"Alas... The old man has long had a premonition that this Li Xin will not be obediently tied, and now the premonition has come true, and I don't think it's strange, it's just that we have been villains for nothing, but it's a bit of a taste of stealing chickens, and I'm afraid of making people laugh when it goes out..."

"Why should Ge Lao be so pessimistic? It's only to blame the subordinate for despising that Qiu Ba and letting this trick succeed. Wu Zhen said it lightly, but in his heart he was actually depressed to the extreme, and he didn't say anything, which made this person and Zhang Fangyan have a lot of discord again, and after a few repetitions, the two sides are afraid that they will no longer be able to cooperate happily. But after all, he was unwilling, he gritted his teeth and said: "He can take out the silver to collect grain, and we can too, so will the lower officials send someone to cross the river to see if he has more silver, or if Yangzhou Mansion is rich..."

"This is not possible, can this limit Li Xin not to mention, the price of rice will inevitably be raised, the nature of businessmen is profit-seeking, and they will inevitably hoard Juqi, we have disrupted the market, and it is the people who will suffer in the end? Those who are officials must be upright, and the first thing is to keep the people in their hearts at all times, otherwise wouldn't they be sacrificing their roots? ”

There are both persuasion and lessons, Wu Zhen suddenly blushed, ashamed, and didn't know how to answer, but Zhang Fangyan comforted Wu Zhen instead, "You don't have to be frustrated, if Li Xin is light, he will be restrained, wouldn't Liu Yuliang and Zhang Sizhi in the court be wronged?" The fish in the oil pot will still be dying and struggling, let alone Li Xin? Let's think about this matter in the long run..."The reason why Zhang Fangyan wants to tame Li Xin is that he only feels that if this person does not put on a halter, he is a wild horse, although he can travel thousands of miles in a day, but he is not very obedient after all, which is also a hidden worry for the imperial court. Thinking of the Grand Canal on the boat passing through Linqing, Li Xin held his own army, and actually hijacked himself as a governor to insist on going south, Zhang Fangyan still had palpitations, although the results proved that he was right, but this kind of discord with the system finally touched his bottom line.

Having said that, it didn't make Wu Zhen's guilt and depression improve slightly, and he wanted to think about another plan, but he couldn't do it for a while. The two of them stared at each other so wide-eyed, and for a while no one spoke anymore.

At this time, He Tengjiao pushed the door into the house in a hurry, and saw Zhang Fangyan and Wu Zhen sitting with sad faces, so he laughed twice.

"Pavilion Elder and Mansion Honorable, look...", he put an official document on the table in front of Zhang Fangyan.

When the official document was unfolded, Zhang Fangyan's brows furrowed even tighter. Wu Zhen looked at him and was silent, anxious for a while.

"Elder Ge, what's the matter? Is it tricky? ”

Zhang Fangyan was noncommittal, put the official document on the table, and pushed it forward.

"Look at yourself..."

Wu Zhen couldn't wait to pick up the official document, glanced at it a few times, and immediately laughed.

"God help me... The wicked have their own wicked grinding, and finally let out a breath of evil in the chest..."

It's just that Wu Zhen laughed for a while but was embarrassed to find that the faces of Zhang Fangyan and He Tengjiao became more and more solemn, so he said, "How?" Someone made the first move, and there is still something to be done..."His idea is very simple, since someone has made a move to buy food with Li Xin, the Three Guards Army will not get enough military food, and in the end they can only bow to Jiangdu. As for the price of rice, the price of rice will be raised, and the people will suffer because of this, and it will rain in the sky, and the mother will get married, how can it be determined by personal will?

At the same time that the prefect of Yangzhou was gloating, Chen Wenzhi was about to become an ant on a hot pot, anxiously circling in the county office, but he couldn't come up with any way to stop the situation from continuing to deteriorate. However, it has only been half a day, and even the price of old rice has risen to six taels of silver and one stone. All the rice shops in Longtan County are closed and sold out, and there are layers of people gathered outside the rice store, and it has become an impossible luxury to buy a few bowls of rice to go home and cook.

"County Zun, order the closure of the city, if it goes on like this, in case there is a civil uprising?"

Chen Wenshan was also hesitating, he knew very well that the city must not be closed until the last resort, which would only make the chaos worse, and could not solve the fact that there was a shortage of rice in the city.

"It's good now, I can't collect 30,000 stone rice, and the silver is almost spent, how can I explain to the marquis of Zhenyu?" He thought of the chaos in the city for a while, and then he thought about the lack of military rations. The master on his side rolled his eyes because of this, and he immediately had an idea.

"County Zun, the villain has an idea, say it, you think about it."

Chen Wenshan has now reached the point where he is sick and goes to the doctor, and when he heard that the master had an idea again, he immediately urged him to say quickly, don't sell Guanzi.

"Now the price of Chen rice in Longtan County has reached six taels of silver and one stone, and the previously purchased Wanshi rice will be sold for at least 100,000 taels of silver, and this time and again, there will be a profit of three times the cost......" Speaking of this, the master looked at Chen Wenshan's eyes with blazing eyes, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Under one in and out, 30,000 taels of silver immediately became 100,000 taels of silver, the price of rice will fluctuate, but the price of silver is relatively stable. Chen Wenwen is not stupid or stupid, how can he not calculate the profit of this.

But Chen Wenzhi still had doubts, "After all, silver can't be eaten as food, if the marquis of Zhenyu asks me for food, what can I do?" ”

The master added another persuasion: "Have you forgotten that in addition to the military rations collected in the Kumi warehouse in Longtan County, there are also thousands of stone old rice reserves, but you can embezzle these rice first, anyway, as long as you have money, you are afraid that you won't be able to get rice and go back?" ”

But no matter how hard the master tried to say something, Chen Wenshan just hesitated and didn't make a decision. The master had no choice but to puff out his cheeks again and said: "The price of rice cannot always be six taels of silver and one stone, the rice merchants of Ying Tianfu can't stand it, and the imperial court can't sit idly by." It is only a matter of time before the price of rice falls, and when the price of rice plummets, we will take the opportunity to buy it, not only plugging the hole in the county treasury, but also completing the task assigned by the town captive, why not? If the county respects any more hesitation and misses the great opportunity, where can he go to find regret medicine......"

The reason why the master is so hard-working, it is naturally profitable, and he sells 100,000 silver dollars, and the loose and tight finger seams are an objective income in hand, not only the county treasury has made a lot of profits, but the handlers will also be full of money one by one. With such a good thing, who can not be anxious?

Chen Wenshan was finally moved by what the master said, not because he suddenly became bolder, but because the temptation was really violent. The master smiled, and continued to follow the temptation:

"But there has to be a trick, this matter can't be done in the name of the county. Otherwise, it will be unfavorable to the county officials, and if someone impeaches them, they will be in trouble. ”

The reason why Chen Wenzhi hesitated was that he was afraid of this, as long as someone has the right to impeach, once it is verified, as a parent official, he has done something to compete with the people, and the dismissal of the official is already the lightest punishment.

"You just need to find a trustworthy person to deal with it in your personal name, and you can solve it in a hurry. Idlers often hear that the county's brother-in-law has always been good at business, so it is better to ......"

The brother-in-law of Chen Wenshan, who is in the mouth of the master, is actually not the brother of his wife, but the brother of his favorite concubine, who relies on the power of the county order "brother-in-law" on weekdays, and also pulls out a lot of small profits in the township. Chen Wenshan thought for a while, it was precisely because of his mediocre ability that he was the best candidate. Only those with mediocre ability are willing to be obedient, otherwise they will make their own decisions and don't know how much unpredictable trouble they will cause themselves.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to Hu Liu. However, he only operates at the front desk, and you have to keep a good watch behind the scenes, and you must not let up..."

Hearing that the plan could be accomplished, the master's face bloomed with a smile.

……

"I found out clearly, the person who secretly issued the funds was a person named Ruan Dacheng, it is said that this person is rich and powerful, has a wide range of friends, and likes ranger scribes to be under his command, and it is rumored that this person has the style of the Warring States Meng......"

Mi Yan was reporting to Li Xin the results of the investigation in the past day, and on the one hand, he was shocked by the depth of Nanjing, and on the other hand, he was worried about Li Xin. Until now, only a little-known Ruan Dacheng has surfaced, but the real mastermind behind it is still deeply hidden.

However, Li Xin had long been familiar with Ruan Dacheng's name, but he never imagined that this person would become his opposite. As far as he knew, Ruan Dacheng first attached the party to Donglin, and later joined Wei Zhongxian, and was liquidated and dismissed during the Chongzhen Dynasty, and was an out-and-out speculator in politics. There are many rumors of peach blossom fans in later generations, although Li Xin does not know whether it is true or not, he has subconsciously believed that he is also an out-and-out villain in private morality.

While they were discussing, Lu Jiuren's voice had already been transmitted to the Chinese military tent before he arrived.

"Dog's Chen Wenshan, should be killed..."

Mi Yan turned his head to look at Lu Jiu, who was full of anger, and asked with a smile: "How did Chen County Order provoke General Lu again?" ”

Lu Jiu's face was solemn, "It's not me who provoked him, nor Brother Thirteen, it's tens of thousands of people in Longtan County... This guy is actually like a black-hearted rice merchant, hoarding and selling grain, and competing with the people for profit. The people in the city have no rice to cook, and they are about to make a civil uprising, he doesn't want to find a way to stabilize the price of rice, but he also takes advantage of the fire to rob, he really missees this dog official..."

Li Xin and Mi Yan looked at each other and smiled, this was originally expected, as long as he didn't delay the errand he was assigned, he could only turn a blind eye to other things, the horses had to run, and they had to eat grass. Immediately, Li Xin was worried again. Someone is secretly manipulating and raising the price of rice, for fear that in the end, Chen County will make it useless.

"General Lu doesn't have to make a big fuss, and letting the mastermind behind the rice price hike pay more money for the computer can be regarded as indirectly giving us a bad breath. As for stabilizing the price of rice, he has a small county order, and he absolutely does not have this ability. Let's just wait for him to make a lot of money, and give him a piece of the pie, and if he wants to eat alone, it's a dream..."

Lu Jiu saw that Li Xin's attitude was inclined to Mi Yan, and even if he didn't think so, he didn't continue to insist on his opinion. Li Xin said: "Yuan Chang is too optimistic, the black hand raised the price of rice, and some people rushed to get on the boat, and he himself is very likely to get off the boat early halfway, sit and watch others perform on the boat, and when the price of rice plummets, he may not also make a lot of money in it, so it may not be him who loses money..."
