Chapter 329: A Strong Woman

Han Song was still worried: "You have to arrange some trustworthy people to do this." ”

Han Jian looked at Lin Xiaoshu with a smile and said: "When Miss Lin was in Luoyang, she was my right-hand man, she did things carefully, and she had no conflict of interest with local businessmen and wealthy families in Jiangdu, let her do it, Erniang can rest assured." ”

"Me?"

Only then did Lin Xiaoshu know that this was what Han Jian asked her to do. She had always thought that Han Jian was teasing her.

Han Songshi glanced at Lin Xiaoshu with a little suspicion, although Han Songshi was a woman, she didn't trust Lin Xiaoshu enough, who was also a woman. She had heard a little about Han Jian and the Lin brothers and sisters before, and for Lin Zhan, Han Song thought that it could be used, but for Lin Xiaoshu, she didn't know anything about it after all.

"Erniang don't worry, no matter who does this in Dongwangfu, it may involve interests, does Erniang have doubts about my vision?"

Han Songshi sighed and said, "You proposed the matter, and whoever you want to find to help you do it will be left to you." Erniang does not interfere. ”

Han Cuishi on the side agreed with Han Jian's approach, and also agreed with Han Jian to make an exception to let Lin Xiaoshu be responsible for this matter. Han Cuishi smiled: "Since your second mother doesn't object, I have no opinion." Jian'er, I find that you are becoming more and more assertive, it seems that in the future, your second mother and I can put our minds at ease, and you should spread your branches and leaves earlier. ”

Han Jian smiled awkwardly, he wanted to say that this kind of thing was not in a hurry. But seeing Han Cui's solemn appearance, the words came to his mouth and swallowed again.

Han Jian sent Han Song and Han Cui away first, and then sat down. Discuss with Lin Xiaoshu the specific details of this "grain borrowing".

“…… Steward Lin, the matter of borrowing grain must be handled first, I will temporarily place a yamen of the East Wangfu for you, and allocate some manpower to you, whether it is externally or to the people below, I will say that this batch of grain is transported from the south of the Yangtze River. I will also use some methods to convince outsiders. ”

Lin Xiaoshu thought about it for a moment and said, "It's not that this matter may be related to the officials of Jiangdu, aren't you afraid that they will leak the news?" ”

Han Jian smiled. He didn't expect Lin Xiaoshu to be smart. Before I took over this matter, I already realized the crux of the problem.

Borrowing grain from Nanqi, as long as the reason is right, the merchants and big families in Jiangdu will believe it. But I'm afraid of internal leaks. Because of the officials of Jiangdu. There are many big families from Jiangdu. There are also many people who are from merchants, even if they are not from families and merchants, they all have interests with those who hoard grain all year round. It is also possible that many of these officials were the initiators of this grain hoarding.

Once the Dongwang Mansion announced the matter of borrowing grain, those merchants would inevitably wait and see, and then probe the authenticity of the news from these officials. At this time, the group of people who Han Jian arranged to allocate grain is very important, and if he is not careful, he may be exposed, and then it will only make food prices continue to rise.

"The people I arranged are not necessarily local officials in Jiangdu, they may be from the imperial court, and some are not officials, in short, you are the person in charge, everything is up to you to decide, and you only need to explain to me alone, as long as you can do things well, even if you cut it first and then play, I will support you." Han Jian encouraged.

Lin Xiaoshu heard the words "cut first and then play", although she was shallow, she also knew that this was a lot of power.

With her experience in running a restaurant, it is indeed very difficult to make a good allocation of food and hide the affairs of the world. Even she didn't have much confidence in herself, and she didn't expect that Han Jian would believe in her so much.

"What if...... The little woman doesn't do things well......" Lin Xiaoshu couldn't help but put forward this hypothesis, she also had to ask clearly first, if she didn't do well, what punishment would she have. She didn't want to be the one to be cut first.

Han Jian said: "Why is Steward Lin so unconfident? What are you...... Think you can't? ”

"Who says I can't?" Lin Xiaoshu immediately straightened his waist and retorted with a look of not admitting defeat.

Han Jian looked at Lin Xiaoshu as if he was about to stand out from the crowd, and felt that this was the capable Lin Xiaoshu he admired.

"Xiao Shu, do it well, whether you succeed or fail this time, I won't put too much pressure on you. But if you do a good job, you will be the hero of the Eastern Palace, the hero of the imperial court. After the war, I will ask His Majesty to reward you and make you a prime minister. ”

Lin Xiaoshu heard Han Jian call herself Xiao Shu, and suddenly her face was a little hot, this title is for her, only people who are very close can call her that, and only her sister would call her that when she was alive before. Even Lin Zhan only called her little sister.

"Words count." Lin Xiaoshu wrinkled his nose and tried his best to hide the slight changes in his heart brought about by Han Jian's title.

Although she felt that Han Jian's words were unreliable, any female prime minister's was the content of the play, and she also knew that none of them were true. But if there is a difficulty, she retreats, that is not her character, thinking that she is about to work with a group of jackals, and she is still dealing with tigers and lions, which invisibly makes her feel very excited, and she also has a sharp gaze of a female leopard in her eyes.

Han Jian temporarily transferred a few people to Lin Xiaoshu, these officials were all recommended to him by Gu Weipan before, and now they are all handling the preparation of food in the local government. These people have no interests in Jiangdu, and they are relatively reliable.

"Xiao Shu, these people are all arrogant, they used to be in the imperial court, and they were all from the imperial examination, whether it is knowledge or knowledge, they are above you." Han Jian said.

Lin Xiaoshu was dissatisfied: "They are so powerful, why don't you ask them to help you, and you still call me?" ”

"Because their hearts are not directed towards me, for me, they are outsiders." Han Jian said, looking at Lin Xiaoshu, "And you are your own person." How can this be the same? ”

Lin Xiaoshu heard Han Jian say "his own person", his head couldn't help lowering, and his expression was a little trance and unnatural.

So much so that after Han Jian said how to tame these "fierce horses", she didn't listen carefully. After Han Jian finished speaking, she raised her head and said indifferently, "Oh." ”

"Although you don't have official qualities this time, but I, the Qin Cha appointed by His Majesty, have you heard of it? Whatever you do, you can do it cheaply first, according to your own ideas, you will not be subject to foreign military orders, you can take your own claims, as long as you think it is right, it is also feasible to kill a few to establish authority. Han Jian's expression also became a little cold with his words.

"Murder?" Lin Xiaoshu hesitated for a moment, "Will it be ...... Too heavy? ”

"Xiao Shu, there are some things that you don't want to be kind to women. You think you're dealing with a bunch of good people? Do you want to be merciful to them, when they hoard their grain, and who would rather rot it in the barn than cheapen the people, and let the people starve and die of hunger? Han Jian said earnestly.

Lin Xiaoshu gritted his teeth and said, "These people deserve to die!" When we were in Jiangnan, my father and fellow villagers were all forced to die like this, if we hadn't gone to Jiangbei, my sister and brother-in-law would not have died, hum! I will always remember the hatred of those people, not only did I not open the warehouse to release grain, but I also asked officials to send troops to guard the granary! ”

Han Jian didn't expect Lin Xiaoshu to have such a big holiday with those who are rich and unkind.

"Then according to your will, if anyone dares to stop you, you can use the power I have given you to rule those people well. Even if it is to help you vent your anger, either for the people of Jiangdu, or for our Dongwangfu. If your fists are not hard, others will only think that you are a bully. ”

"Okay." Lin Xiaoshu raised his head and replied firmly.

Han Jian gave Lin Xiaoshu a detailed list of some people, and told her who she was one by one.

Although Lin Xiaoshu is not highly educated, she has a good brain, and she can remember some things once she talks to her, especially those related to business.

"These people are highly capable, but they are also arrogant. You have to be stupid to use their prestige, otherwise they will disobey you, and they may stab you in the back. Han Jian admonished.

Lin Xiaoshu smiled proudly: "Don't worry, I am very experienced in this." In the past, when I was in Qingxu Yashe, those shopkeepers and guys were not the same? In the end, which one is not obedient to my rule? ”

Han Jian smiled, but was a little suspicious, and asked, "Xiao Shu, I really want to know, how do you treat those people who listen to you." I've always found this strange, those people are uncles on weekdays, and ordinary people can't stand it. ”

"Hmph. Whoever does not listen, they will be accepted by me, and whoever calls me the great treasurer. You also said that if I don't do a good job, you will quit me, and I just told them this, whoever doesn't let me feel better, I won't let them feel better. Whoever sins against me, I will pay them back a hundredfold. Whoever is obedient, I will reuse him, and whoever is disobedient, I will teach him. It didn't take long for them to be honest. Lin Xiaoshu recalled the experience of Qingxu Yashe in the capital, as if he was talking about a war.

Han Jian smiled indifferently, Lin Xiaoshu was a daughter's family, but she gave birth to a man's heart. She is decisive and assertive, and she can always save money from between her teeth, whether it is to make the book or the business, it is thriving.

For Han Jian, such a helper is a good helper.

"I'll send some guards to protect you. Don't trust the guards, they may also be involved in local powers. In addition, I will find you a good helper, she has high martial arts skills and a wide range of connections, which will be very helpful to you. ”

"Who?" Lin Xiaoshu said with some vigilance. She thought that what Han Jian had found for her was a man.

"Her surname is Xiliu, and I don't know her name. Go back and ask her yourself. She has a lot of people, and they have little to do with the local area, so trust her as much as you can, and if she can't help her, let me know as soon as possible. Han Jian said, "At the same time, she is also your personal bodyguard." She will also take care of you in your daily life, in short, don't go out alone, because what you do hurts the interests of many people, and there are many people who want to get rid of you. ”

"In danger?" Lin Xiaoshu seemed to be muttering, and muttered a sentence on his lips.

"Scared?" Han Jian asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid you're a big-headed ghost." Lin Xiaoshu said it, only to realize that he had said foul language, and hurriedly gagged his mouth. (To be continued......)
