There are those who are faintly disguised in the hall, and more people are talking about it, some people say they should be killed, and some people say they shouldn't be killed.

Liu Ze smiled indifferently and said: "If supply exceeds demand, grain prices will inevitably fall, and if supply exceeds demand, grain prices will naturally rise." Food prices are high or low, just let it be, and there is no need to be demanding. ”

"But......" Chen Deng was anxious to say more, Liu Ze waved his hand lightly and said, "There is no need to discuss this matter again." When I mentioned the matter of taxation earlier, I thought that taxation was the foundation of the country and should not be moved lightly, and the field tax of 30 taxes and 1 tax in the Han system should also be within the scope of the people's bearing, and there was no need to adjust it for the time being. If the oral endowment is too heavy and the people are overwhelmed, it can also be reduced. ”

Sun Qian said: "Xiapi Xiangzhi Rong in Xiapi abolished taxes, advocated Buddhism, won the hearts of the people, except for more than 5,000 households near the county and country were invested in it, Xia Pi thought that Xiapi was a place in Xuzhou, but Zhenrong did not obey the order, did things without permission, and it would be a trouble for a long time, and Liu Zhijun must not condone it. ”

For the famous huge corruption under the rule of Xuzhou, Liu Ze has long hated the root of his teeth, and wants to punish corruption and clarify the rule of officials, Liu Ze has to take the knife with Zhenrong, but he has just led Xuzhou, and he is really too busy to do it, so he has to wait for the opportunity to make another move, and send Zhao Yun to Xia Pi to serve as the captain, just knowing that Zhao Yun is calm and capable, and it can be a big deal. Liu Ze told Zhao Yun to get the real evidence of Zhenrong's corruption, and at the same time pay attention not to let Zhenrong find out, so as not to startle the snake. Although Sun Ganti is now punishing Zhen Rong, Liu Ze knows that it is not the right time, so he vaguely prevaricates: "The matter of Xiapi still needs to be carefully investigated." Let's stop here for today's discussion. ”

Everyone got up and retreated, and Mi Zhu walked out of the state pastor with everyone. just said goodbye to everyone, without any words, and drove straight back to Mifu.

"Brother is back?" Although Mi Fang is Peng Chengxiang, he is not the shogunate of the state pastor's office, so he did not participate in today's discussion. After Pengcheng was slaughtered by Cao Cao, the city was ruined, and Mi Fang did not go back to work, and has been idle at home.

Mi Zhu was thirsty and ordered his subordinates to bring tea. Mi Fangqi said: "In the past, Tao envoy Jun discussed matters, and my brother must have returned with a full meal and wine. Why did you come back today without even drinking a cup of tea? ”

Mi Zhu said: "Liu makes Jun Su thrifty. I didn't have tea and dinner. ”

Mi Fang laughed and said: "This Liu Ze is too picky, right, is there a reason why the state officials don't eat?" ”

Mi Zhu looked at him sternly and said, "Liu Yuanjun is an extraordinary person, how can he be reasonable." What's more, the ministers are all Xuzhou giants. Who cares about a meal? ”

Mi Fang said curtly: "The little brother doesn't choose what to say. Don't blame me, brother. ”

Mi Zhu said earnestly: "Second brother." It's not for my brother to say you, you always have to be arrogant and less stable, and use your brains more to do things. Liu Yuanjun's name, you have nothing to do with it at home, but if outsiders know that you have contemptuous words, wouldn't it be a way to get trouble. This calamity comes from the mouth, and it must not be tempted to provoke the disaster of death in a moment's time. ”

"Brother Xie's teachings."

"You should clean up and prepare to return to Pengcheng to resume your duties."

"Back to Pengcheng?" Mi Fang was slightly stunned and said, "Pengcheng is in ruins, what am I going back for?" ”

"Liu Yuanjun has appointed Xu Rong as the governor of Pengcheng and led 3,000 troops to Pengcheng, and Liu Yuanjun has already decided to implement tuntian in the five counties of Pengcheng.

"Tuntian?"

"Yes, today's pastoral meeting is about the matter of Tuntian, and Liu Yuanjun is determined to return all the ownerless fields in Xuzhou to the official ownership and organize the displaced people to pioneer Tuntian."

Mi Fang was shocked: "What? Bringing the Borderlands to official ownership? Isn't our Mi family's plan to prepare for this large-scale acquisition of land in the five counties of Pengcheng come to naught? According to the original plan, the Mi family has prepared a large amount of cash and is ready to buy it at the government's auction of the ownerless land in the five counties of Pengcheng.

Mi Zhu nodded solemnly and said, "This is not the point, just a few pieces of land are insignificant to the Mi family." The key thing is that I think I have read countless people, and I can't see through this Liu Ze at all. ”

"Why did my brother say that?" Mi Fang was a little curious.

"Liu Yuanjun's reputation in the plains, I have long heard of it, punish the strong and eliminate the evil, help the needy, benevolence and righteousness, and be willing to give good, but he is ruthless to the scholars, and has eradicated the two major scholars in the plains, the Liu family and the Bai family. It's just something I've been vaguely worried about, lest he will do something unfavorable to our Mi family. Regarding Liu Ze's background, it is obvious that Mi Zhu has not worked hard.

"Brother, think about it a lot, with the strength of our Mi family in Xuzhou, even if he Liu Ze wants to do it, he has to weigh it first. Tao Zhijun was much more arrogant when he first came to Xuzhou, and later he was not obedient and promising. ”

Mi Zhu shook his head and said: "Liu Ze acted decisively, planned and then moved, today's discussion, although it is the name of the public opinion, but Liu Ze has already made a decision, the law of Tuntian, I am afraid he has already decided." Billions, even if our Mi family is rich, it is not easy to raise such a number in a short period of time, but Liu Ze is very free and easy, I have vaguely said in the hall that the Mi family is willing to take millions of dollars to give, but he laughed at it, if it is not a rich and noble person, there will definitely be no such calm state. But there is another thing today, but I can't figure it out. The price of food in Xuzhou has skyrocketed, and the discerning person sees that someone is hoarding Juqi, but Liu Ze deliberately ignores it, is it possible that he knows that the person behind this ghost is the Xuzhou Shi family, and he dare not offend? But this is very different from his usual style of doing things, and I really can't see through this Liu Ze. ”

"The soaring grain price is the leader of the Wang family, the Xiao family and the Lu family are involved, Wang Jun also came to me and asked me if your Mi family would like to come and get a piece of the pie, and I didn't promise them if you weren't there. However, my brother has a good chance this time, I heard that the three of them have hoarded at least 200,000 husks of corn, and they are ready to make a big profit, if we join forces, we will definitely make a lot of profits. Mi Fang encouraged.

Mi Zhu smiled faintly and said, "This kind of ill-gotten gains, don't give it away." What's more, food prices have skyrocketed, and the people are angry and angry, Liu Yuanjun can't sit idly by no matter what, and the three families of Wang Xiao and Lu are afraid that they will have to suffer. ”

Mi Fang didn't believe it and said, "How should Liu Ze deal with it?" Unless he uses grain to save the city, everyone knows that the Xuzhou treasury is empty, and he can't get grain at all. If the crime of hoarding and hoarding the Wang family can resolve the crisis lightly, but the consequences are not necessarily what he Liu Ze can bear. ”

Mi Zhu said noncommittally: "What the ending is, let's wait and see what happens." As soon as Mi Zhu picked up the tea, she saw Mi Lan sneaking in quietly, and she was wearing a men's dress, and at a glance, she knew that she had just come back from the street, and couldn't help but shout in a deep voice: "Lan'er, where have you been?" ”

Mi Lan wanted to sneak back unconsciously, but when she walked in the door, she was discovered by Mi Zhu, so she had to walk over and pouted: "Big brother, people are just bored and panicked and go out for a walk." ”

Mi Zhu sighed and said: "Lan'er, it's not for my brother to talk about you, you are a young lady, you don't learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home, what are you doing outside?" ”

"What's the use of learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I might as well help you do business."

"You are a woman, what kind of business do you have, which store have you ever seen with a female shopkeeper?"

Mi Lan snorted and said, "I'm going to show you in the future." With that, he went straight back to the room, leaving Mi Zhu there shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Liu Ze did not go back to the room to sleep, but stayed in the study all night, and he didn't sleep all night.

After the meeting was dispersed, Liu Ze, Jia Xu, Guan Yu, Xu Shu, and Chen Deng came to the study, and then discussed the matter, of course, mainly focusing on the grain market.

Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Why didn't the eldest brother punish those speculative businessmen in the hall? They dare to hoard, raise grain prices, and disturb the people's hearts. ”

Liu Ze didn't answer, but asked Chen Deng: "Yuanlong, what is the situation of the grain market in Xuzhou City now?" ”

Chen Deng said: "The largest rice shop in Xuzhou City is opened by the Wang family, and now the head of the Wang family is Wang Jun, the brother of Wang Lang, who has done Pengcheng Gong Cao Rafter before, and the Wang family is mainly engaged in the grain business, and there are shops in the five counties of Xuzhou. In addition, the other three major families in the East China Sea, the Mi family, the Xiao family, and the Lu family also have rice shops, but because they are concurrent, the scale is not too large, and the Wang family monopolizes half of the business of the Xuzhou grain market. The surge in grain prices this time should be inseparable from the Wang family, and it is likely that the other three families are also involved, they occupy ninety percent of the market share, and they can naturally control grain prices. ”

Guan Yu snorted and said, "Now that you know who the mastermind is, things will be easy to handle, big brother, do you think you will send someone to arrest Wang Jun tomorrow?" ”

Chen Deng waved his hand and said: "General Guan must not, this Mi, Wang, Xiao, and Lu four major families have deep roots in Xuzhou, intertwined, and affect the whole body, the lord of Xuzhou must focus on the overall situation, if the four major families set off a riot, the situation in Xuzhou will be out of control, so the lord must be cautious when dealing with this matter." ”

Liu Ze nodded and said: "What Yuan Long said is extremely true, the current situation in Xuzhou must be stabilized, and the people of Xuzhou may not be able to withstand the toss anymore." As for the issue of food prices, I have already taken care of them, so please rest assured. ”

Chen Deng said faintly worriedly: "Today, the lord in the lobby once said that he would borrow one billion yuan from Huitong Bank, which is not a small amount, how sure can the lord be able to borrow it?" ”

Liu Ze, Guan Yu, and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled, laughing so much that Chen Deng was inexplicable.

"Lord, what do you mean by this?" Chen Deng looked forward to it left and right, and did not understand what it meant.

Liu Ze smiled and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, you come to sue Sù Yuanlong." (To be continued......)
