Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Qi Yu Taishou, this time a total of thirteen anti-thieves were killed and twenty-six people were arrested, and it was Shen Faxing's person from Jiangnan Province. ”

Li Yizhi nodded slowly, and his complexion eased a lot.

In fact, what he cares about is not the assassination incident itself, but whether Chen Yuan's role in the incident has betrayed.

If the other party really rebelled, then he had to make up his mind and vigorously purge the city guards.

Luo Tong will definitely be removed from his post, even if the other party is completely unaware.

Now it seems that his worries are unfounded.

From Chen Yuan's expression and reply, it can be seen that this crackdown on bandits should be real, but it was just someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Li Yizhi continued to ask: "Have you found out the two sides blocking the street?" ”

Chen Yuan understood what Li Yizhi meant, and hurriedly replied: "It's been found out, it should be a coincidence." They are all in the rice and grain business, and they are fighting openly and secretly on weekdays, so they happened to meet on the street this time, and no one refused to give in, so they quarreled and blocked the street. ”

When Li Yizhi heard this, he sighed in his heart that the mastermind behind the scenes had superb means, skillfully used all parties, carefully planned, and left no clues at all.

But in fact, leaving no clues is the biggest flaw.

In Yangzhou City, the only force that can do this and control the overall situation is Yu Wenhua.

It's just that he still has some doubts, why would Yu Wenhua send such a weak killer?

You must know that Yin Kaishan and You Gui in the first two times are both congenital masters who have been famous for many years.

Li Yizhi said in a deep voice: "Chen Yuan, this time you have a merit in suppressing bandits, but you have also let people take advantage of them, so let's offset the merits." As for Luo Tong, you didn't find out in advance when a large number of thieves gathered in the city, this is your dereliction of duty, and you will be fined three months. Can you take it? ”

"The last general will admit punishment!"

Luo Tong and the others breathed a sigh of relief, grateful in their hearts.

They knew that this was Li Yizhi's mercy.

"Hmm."

Li Yizhi hummed and said: "Now that a large number of forces are gathering in Yangzhou, Luo Tong, your responsibility is heavy, you must ensure the absolute stability of the city, and strictly check the people who enter the city." For any troublemaker, suppress it with all your might, and show no mercy. ”

"Yes, Taishou."

"All right, you go down."

Watching the two leave, Li Yizhi looked at Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi and asked, "What happened in the past few days when this official was away?" ”

"Nothing has happened, but these days, the number of displaced people pouring into Jiangdu has increased a lot. Even if we do our best to resettle, there are still many people who are temporarily unable to reclaim their fields because of the lack of farm tools, so they can only raise them first, and I am afraid that there will be more in the future. ”

Xue Zhen hurriedly said: "However, we have already sent people to other places to buy farm tools and farming cattle, and I believe that after a while, this situation should be alleviated." ”

Li Yizhi groaned: "You can't just raise the homeless people like this, it will cost a lot of money, and second, it will be easy to be bewitched, and I am afraid that it will threaten the place." In this way, the government will pay for the employment of people who are temporarily unable to reclaim the land, and build water conservancy, bridges and roads in various parts of Gangdo County, so that the displaced people must be busy. ”

Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi hurriedly dissuaded: "It's too guardable, just to resettle the displaced people, we have seriously overspended, and we have to borrow money from Sihai Qianzhuang." If the water conservancy is built on a large scale, I am afraid that it will cost even more. ”

In fact, they wanted to persuade and directly recruit those displaced people to work.

It's just that they understand the character of their own Taishou, and it is absolutely impossible for them to do such a hurtful thing.

"It doesn't matter. Whether it is to build water conservancy or build bridges and pave roads, although it costs a lot at present, as long as we survive this time, the future development of Jiangdu County will inevitably be a matter of a hundred years. ”

Li Yizhi waved his hand and said, "What's more, when the people become rich, their hearts will also settle down and will not be used by those who have intentions." As for the matter of the silver taels, all of them will be withdrawn from the Four Seas Money Village first, and I will discuss it with Tian Wen later. ”

When Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi heard this, they could only nod.

Anyway, this is a good thing for the benefit of the people, and they can only comply, maybe they can leave a good name in the history books.

After talking about political affairs again, Xue Zhen and Gao Shouyi left.

As soon as Li Yizhi was about to get up, someone came to tell him that Tian Wen had come to visit.

Not long after, Tian Wen walked in quickly, he looked up at Li Yizhi, and said with a sigh of relief: "When I first entered the city, I heard that you were stabbed in the street, and it seems that there should be nothing wrong. ”

Li Yizhi smiled and said, "It's just that the palm of my hand has scratched a little skin, and now it's fine." By the way, did you come to me for something? ”

"Well, the thing you ordered to make patterns last time has now been completed, and I'm here to let you see if these patterns are qualified!"

Tian Wen said, he handed over the black wooden box in his hand.

Li Yizhi took it and opened it to see that there were three kinds of gold, silver and copper, a total of nine pattern coins.

These patterns are beautifully crafted and come in a variety of sizes, all of which are round on the outside and square on the inside.

Li Yizhi picked up the largest gold coin, the whole body was golden, the lines were clear, and the words 'Sui Jin Wuliang' were printed on the front.

"This is a gold coin of five taels, of which the gold content is about seventy percent, and the other three become other metals. As you said before, there are three types of gold, silver and copper coins, which are one, two, and five. Each coin contains about one-third of the other metal. ”

When Tian Wen said this, his tone couldn't help but tremble, and he said excitedly: "If this set of coins can be issued, it means that we can make a profit of more than 30% just by minting coins, which is simply grabbing money." ”

Li Yizhi said with a smile: "If you grab money, you can issue coins quickly." I looked at it, so that the coin is basically no problem, have you tested it, if others copy it, how much does it cost? ”

The advantage of stamping machine coinage is that it is fast and exquisite.

However, no matter how beautiful the coin, some people can imitate it.

However, as long as it can be guaranteed, the cost of imitation by others is higher than the coin itself. Well, no one will imitate even if they do not fight copycats.

Tian Wenhan said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I have already let people test it." Even the most skilled craftsmen can produce nine coins at a much greater cost than the coins themselves, so no one will ever try to imitate them thanklessly. ”

"That's great!"

Li Yizhi smiled happily: "In this way, Mr. Tian, after you go back, you will make all your efforts to make coins, and when the time is ripe, we will go all out to promote it." ”

"Well, good!"

"By the way, there's one more thing. I temporarily borrowed 400,000 taels of silver from the Song family, and you will send someone to the Song family's fleet to accept it later. In the future, Taishoufu will build water conservancy on a large scale, and will borrow more silver from the four seas of money. ”

…………

Jiangdu Palace.

The news of Wei Chisheng's assassination has already been reported, and it was reported by Yu Shiji as soon as possible.

If it was other military news, he would usually intercept it directly and would not tell Yang Guang at all, but this matter was different, it was related to the 100,000 taels of silver that Li Yizhi promised him.

Yang Guang received the music and was furious.

You say that you are a great general, whether you die on the battlefield or are assassinated in the barracks, this can be forgiven.

However, if you don't fight a good battle, you want to go hunting, which is already a serious dereliction of duty.

In the end, he was assassinated, which is simply innocent and extremely ridiculous!
