Chapter 165: Thank you for your hard work
"Taishou, rumors have spread in the city, and if you go on like this, the people of Guangling will be lost!" Yuan Lin reminded Yuan Lian with a gloomy face.
"The city guard has been ordered to prohibit drinking in public places such as liquor shops, so Bongji doesn't have to worry." Yuan Jian said soothingly.
"What's the use of just banning discussion? Isn't the people's mood still declining? Yuan Lin said annoyedly.
"Oh? Is it as you said, to forcibly collect the Jiangdong relief grain that the people have picked up? Hehe, if you must think so, you will order it yourself, and the official will not stop you! Yuan Jian said angrily.
Although Yuan Lin is also surnamed Yuan, it is true that the clansmen of the Yuan clan in Runan are still Yuan Shu's nephews, and after Shu Shao was taken away, he was arranged to serve as a county prince in Guangling County.
Obviously, Yuan Shu couldn't trust outsiders, so he arranged a "one's own person" as Guangling Taishou's deputy......
"You...... The lower officials have not considered it, Lord Yuan forgive me. Yuan Lin was angry when she heard this, but she also suppressed her anger.
Yuan Lin did propose this before, but it was vetoed by Yuan Jian at that time, in fact, Yuan Lin had already figured it out immediately afterwards - forcibly confiscating relief food would only make the contradictions more acute and the people's grievances more turbulent.
"Well, after that...... Draw up a proclamation and send it out in the city. Yuan Jian didn't stimulate him too much.
But this is obviously another chore, at least Yuan Jian feels that in his own words, this notice is really difficult to write - how to criticize the act of sending relief food to the people?
Yuan Jian felt that if it was himself, he would definitely be short of words, just like when Bai Tu saw the wealthy family and sent cattle wine to the people during the New Year's holidays.
At this time, where would Yuan Jian not know the purpose of Chen Gong yesterday!
If this continues, without the Jiangdong soldiers, Guangling will collapse before the battle - even if it weren't for the founding buff, the current people's hearts would have a tendency to collapse.
At that time, once the castle queen leaves the city, the outer city wall will "disappear" directly, leaving only the inner city wall that cannot be defended.
When Lu Bu was in Yanzhou before, he enjoyed this kind of treatment.
Before Bai Tu crossed, Chen Gong set fire to Puyang, defeated Cao Jun once, and even almost killed Cao Cao in the city, but this itself was a desperate act, since Cao Cao escaped, naturally the city to which Lu Bu belonged, under the resistance of the county lords in various places, there was a situation where Cheng Ji left the city.
In this case, the outer walls will "disappear" until the castle queen returns......
As a result, Lu Bu could only withdraw from Yanzhou and Yuzhou in a hurry, which is why Bai Tu easily escaped from the city at the beginning of the crossing and did not pass through Wengcheng at all.
Yuan Lin heard Yuan Lian's words, but she didn't feel that it was a chore, but breathed a sigh of relief.
He understood his position, that is, as the Dazhong Imperial Family, on behalf of His Majesty, he came to see these local officials.
Originally, he was worried that Yuan Lian's negative response before was a disobedience, but now he has put some of his mind at ease.
On the same day, Yuan Lin wrote a large chapter of 3,000 words, and from the perspective of "the food that comes to you", he defined the feeding of Baitu as a humiliation of the people who had the backbone of Dazhong.
And the preparation is also sufficient, specially found a few nurseries, and after reading the list, he will dedicate the relief food to the government in public, and accept the soft bones of the relief grain in Jiangdong with irony outside the words.
After arranging the following officials, after tomorrow's preaching at various lists, Yuan Lin is also a little complacent.
And then......
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Gong came to the city again to deliver relief grain to Guangling City, and there were still very few people who were willing to hand it over after delivery.
Just when Yuan Lin learned the news and scolded "Diao Min", Yuan Lian on the side looked at him strangely, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Do you want to let the city guards dispatch, and find out who did it from house to house?" ”
"Of course...... No, if you calm down, won't that make the people's resentment even heavier? Yuan Lin reacted in time.
When Yuan Jian heard this, he didn't persuade again.
Yuan Lin found that Yuan Jian seemed to finally understand that the Runan Yuan clan was the master of Dazhong, and he respected his own opinion very much...... Well, after all, in the future, when Dazhong conquers the world, with his noble bloodline, he should be able to be crowned a county king if he has some merit.
On the other hand, Yuan Lin also had some doubts in her heart - does Yuan Lian want to yin me?
But like this time, after Yuan Lin said not to do it, Yuan Lian immediately dispelled his idea, and at the same time, Yuan Lin's doubts were naturally dispelled.
On the seventh day, Chen Gong still came to project relief food on time, during which Yuan Jian and Yuan Lin discussed whether to go out to fight a battle, after all, the number of troops in Guangling City is superior!
However, Yuan Lin thought it was too risky and didn't "agree" - I don't know when, Yuan Lin felt as if she had become the person in charge of Guangling City?
"Fengji, in the past seven days, we have collected a lot of relief food. After that, will it be used as military funds, or will it be given to the people? Yuan Jian asked.
Yuan Lin quickly got used to Yuan Lian's tone of discussion, and said, "Of course, it's to fill up military funds!" Those things with the same taste as forage, no matter how much they disguise it, they will know that it is Jiangdong's relief food after eating it, and even if it is distributed in the city, they will not miss me Dazhong! ”
"Brother Bongji." Yuan Jian said.
Seeing this, the little official on the side hurriedly wanted to deal with the matter directly according to Yuan Lin's intentions......
Yuan Lian's expression flickered at this time, and then asked, "Do you want to check it first, will there be a problem with the relief grain?" All of the food we collected was dropped in the urn city, if the other party deliberately made some of the relief food heavier and poisoned it......"
"Ahh It's worthy of Yaoqing! What I think is thoughtful, Xiao Zhao, according to what Lord Yuan said, go and check the relief food. Yuan Lin reacted immediately and said to the scribe on the side.
Yao Qing is Yuan Lian's table.
Yuan Lian was also very indifferent to Yuan Lin's behavior of not even calling him "Taishou", but there was some urgency in his eyes - wasn't it obvious enough for me to remind him?
It wasn't until a few days later that Yuan Lin finally remembered something and gave a confidential order to his confidant.
On the same day, Yuan Jian was "supervising the battle" on the city tower, in fact, when he saw the relief food put into the city, he found that there were still people sprinkling relief food in the inner city......
That night, there were people in the city who had picked up relief food during the day, and they had diarrhea and vomiting all night, and the most serious ones had seen that there was more qi and less qi entering!
Rumors began to circulate in the city that the relief food in Koto had been poisoned and that it was contagious......
In fact, "poison" is still very rare in the Han Dynasty, where there are some extraction and purification techniques, not to mention poisoning, even if the emperor gives poison to the guilty ministers, it is often poisonous and immortal, and it is necessary to make up another white silk.
The "quenching poison" in the army is mainly based on gold juice - a metabolite produced by the operation of Ji made soldiers, which is equivalent to human ...... Excrement.
Yuan Lin wanted to poison people directly, but with such a large-scale poisoning, you can't use, right? Idiots don't even notice the taste!
Therefore, I just used some herbs with toxic side effects, and the effect was average, but it did poison some of them.
However...... Even if there are unknown forces pushing for the spread of this rumor, the people still can't believe it, after all...... There are so many suspicious things that they are even implausible in terms of motives - poisoning the whole city to destroy the city?
And I don't know when, another unknown force in the city began to make different voices - Yuan Lin poisoned and framed Bai Gong!
In contrast, this rumor seems to be more credible.
"I can't imagine that Yuan Taishou is such a person!"
"No, it's not Yuan Taishou, it's Yuan Juncheng, they are not related......"
"Yes, yes, I heard that Lord Taishou has been in the Wengcheng military camp recently, and everything in the city has been handed over to the county."
"That's not right! I heard that it was Yuan Juncheng who relied on himself to be Yuan ...... It's His Majesty's nephew, and he's set up too much! ”
"What can I do about this...... My family is still counting on relief food! ”
As soon as this rumor gained some momentum, Yuan Lin got the news and said secretly in his heart: Could it be that the pharmacy leaked the news? Sure enough, it's safer to extinguish the mouth!
But before he could give the order, a team of city guards rushed in, regardless of the indiscriminate, the servants at home dared to stop, they all drew their knives and cut them, and after a burst of chickens and dogs jumped in the house, Yuan Lin was carried out by the city guards by the hair.
"Bold, bold! Don't you know who I am? Yuan Lin said angrily.
"Lord Juncheng, if you have something, let's talk to Taishou." The city guard chief said indifferently.
Yuan Lin only then discovered that these city guards were Yuan Lian's henchmen.
And just when he was escorted out of the mansion, he found that there was another team of people, escorting the shopkeeper of the pharmacy where he took the medicine!
Immediately, Yuan Lin understood that Yuan Lian had come prepared......
Yuan Lin is not a "very" fool, at least he has a confidant in the city guard, but when another superintendent who served as the head of the city guard intercepted it, he was surrounded by the people.
Yuan Lian's henchman, who was escorting him, also showed his "fangs" at this time, and directly forced himself to the city gate, handing over Yuan Lin to the Ji Zao soldiers in the urn city......
Yuan Lin also understood at this time that Yuan Lian was afraid that he was going to rebel!
"Yuan Lian! How dare you ......" Yuan Lin looked at Yuan Lian, who was leading the troops, and hated it.
However, Yuan Jian looked at him indifferently, and said with some gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work......
"You ......"
What Yuan Lian said was sincere, after all......
I, Yuan Shu, will not surrender easily, but as Yuan Shu's nephew and my deputy, I am harming the people in the city, and as a famous minister and wise man who loves the people like a son, I have no choice but to capture him and tie him up and burn him in front of the people...... To set the record straight!
After that, I originally wanted to turn myself in and ask Yuan Shu for guilt, but under the strong request of the onlookers, as a celebrity, I followed the will of the people and opened the door to welcome Chen Gong in, which is also my due intention.
This is all the fault of the brutal Yuan Lin, the fault of Yuan Shu who doesn't trust me, what does it have to do with me Yuan Lian?
In this regard, Chen Gong expressed his appreciation.
When Yuan Jian opened the city gate and welcomed Chen Gong into the city with the representatives of the villagers, Chen Gong stepped forward and held Yuan Gong's hand tightly and said: "Lord Yuan is dedicated to the people and the righteousness is for the public, and the people of the world will definitely understand your good intentions!" ”
When Yuan Jian heard Chen Gong's words, his eyes turned red, and he said sincerely: "The ministers who betray the lord dare not take credit, thanks to Bai Gong's benevolence, the people are vying to join him, and Yuan Lin is originally stupid and stubborn, but Yuan Lin ...... Ay! In desperation, I really don't want to rebel against the will of the people for the rebellious party......"
