Do you want to reason with them?!

The little scorpion's words are both harsh and real.

Judging from the current results, it is obviously not feasible for them to reason with Huairen.

Luo Qifang and Luo Guangqing both had stiff faces and embarrassed faces, and they were speechless and speechless by the little scorpion's words.

Cen Yin looked at the two quietly, his eyes flashing slightly.

Since he arrived in Huaizhou, he has basically had a free-range attitude towards Luo Qifang and Luo Guangqing, and let them do it themselves, but he knows exactly what they have done.

He deliberately didn't give them a hint of what to do beforehand, but watched how they behaved.

At the end of April, after Cen Yin decided to prepare 50,000 tents, he watched them go to the army to collect and prepare, and sent people all over the city to buy fabrics and find embroidery girls.

As a result, because of their large-scale purchases, cloth merchants in several cities began to raise prices all over the sky, not only the price of oilcloth increased, but also many people deliberately hoarded goods, only willing to sell some of the goods at hand, and also excused that they were out of stock, even if Luo Qifang said that this was to prepare for the turn of the dragon It was useless.

Businessmen are all profit-seeking, they only have immediate interests in their eyes, and they don't care about what they are for, so Luo Qifang and the others were led by the nose by these businessmen instead.

In addition, Luo Qifang hired embroidery girls to work on a daily basis, so that those embroidery girls were passive and slacking off, anyway, sewing twenty tents a day is so many copper plates, sewing ten tents is also the same copper plate, why do so much!

Because of this, it took so long to build a mere 10,000 tents.

Jin Yiwei would bring these things to Cen Yin every day, and he just listened and watched, and he didn't make a move until today.

In the final analysis, Luo Qifang and Luo Guangqing's treatment of Huairen is still too soft.

They are not incapable, in the final analysis, Dasheng has only taken Huaizhou for more than a year, and in the past year and a half, Huaizhou has been unstable from the beginning of the people's hearts and wastes to be revived, and now it is thriving. If this uninformed person came to Huaizhou, I am afraid that he would not be able to imagine what Huaizhou was like at the end of the previous year......

However, Luo Qifang and Luo Guangqing are still too tender and have too many scruples to do things, so that they are timid.

Cen Yin took a sip of hot tea, put down the teacup elegantly, and said lightly: "You have to recognize that this is Huaizhou." ”

"The year before last, it was still Huaiguo." Cen Yin's last sentence said meaningfully, "There is a way, but if it is not my race, its heart will be different." ”

Huaizhou people are not Dasheng people.

Huaidi since ancient times is the people are fierce, the people are warlike, fierce and fierce, it is not so easy to domesticate, plus Huaizhou Guishun Dasheng is only a short year and a half, now Huaizhou at first glance is quite stable, calm, in fact, the hearts of the people of Huaizhou are more or less rejected by Dasheng, Huaizhou's "stability" is actually just a layer of paper, can be easily punctured.

Governing Huaizhou can't be like governing other states in Dasheng, the means are too soft, and they will be led by the nose like Luo Qifang and Luo Guangqing.

Luo Qifang's faces were a little ugly, and they were still speechless. They all knew that Cen Yin was right, and it was they who were careless.

There was silence in the room.

At some point, the sun outside the window was blocked by the clouds, and the room was darkened by three points.

Cen Yin squinted his eyes, and casually dusted off a piece of residual flowers floating on his shoulder, and his simple movements exuded a killing aura, and the cold air overflowed.

Luo Qifang and Luo Guangqing couldn't help but shudder, and once again realized that the young man in front of them was Cen Yin, the superintendent of Dongchang Factory, the Cen Yin who was bold and feared by everyone!

Cen Yin said slowly: "If you can't even control the little Huaizhou, then don't worry about it anymore!" ”

Cen Yin's voice did not have a trace of ups and downs, it was as cold as water.

“……”

Luo Qifang and Luo Guangqing's eyes instantly widened to the extreme, and the same thought appeared in their hearts:

Cen Yin really wants to seize power!

He asked them to leave it alone, which means that Cen Yin intends to install his own people in Huaizhou, and he came to Huaizhou this time with a lot of people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei, these people often wander in the city, all of them are eyeing Huaizhou, and they don't know when, they will intend to meddle in Huaizhou's government and military affairs.

In addition to being vigilant, Luo Qifang and Luo Guangqing felt ashamed in their hearts, and they were almost ashamed of themselves: after all, they were too useless and embarrassed the emperor.

Before the emperor returned to Beijing from Huaizhou, he personally handed over Huaizhou to them, and at that time they secretly swore that they would be optimistic about Huaizhou for the emperor......

Luo Qifang and Luo Guangqing glanced at each other, both secretly gritting their teeth, seeing the same determination in each other's eyes.

Isn't it just a forced conscription, isn't it just some tents, what's the big deal!

Since they even won this piece of Huaiguo in the first place, why are they afraid of these little obstacles now!

They have soldiers at hand, they have Dasheng behind them, and the new emperor to rely on, what do they dare not do and can't do!!

Both of them had flames burning in their eyes, and their blood was running wild.

Luo Qifang took a deep breath, his expression became unusually firm, he looked directly at Cen Yin's eyes as deep as an abyss, and said resolutely: "Lord Cen Governor, the lower officials will do it immediately, and they will definitely do it well." ”

"The lower official is willing to make a military order, please 'rest assured' by Governor Cen."

Luo Qifang increased the volume in the last two words, as if to say that Huaizhou would not "worry" about Cen Yin.

Cen Yin raised his right eyebrow, there was no joy or anger on his face, and he raised his hand and made a gesture.

The little scorpion immediately took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and pressed the two corners of a piece of silk paper with a paperweight, the meaning was very clear, and asked Luo Qifang to write the military order by himself.

Since Luo Qifang had let go, he guessed that since Cen Yin wanted to seize power, he would definitely seize this opportunity to let him write a military order.

Sure enough!

Luo Qifang strode to the bookcase, he sharpened the ink himself, then picked up the pen, finished writing the military order in one go, and pressed the fingerprint in the lower left corner with the ink on it.

The big red fingerprints were as dazzling as blood on the snow-white paper, declaring Luo Qifang's determination.

The little scorpion blew the ink off the military order, and then presented it to Cen Yin.

Cen Yin glanced at the military order, his expression was light, and then he looked at Luo Guangqing on the other side.

"......" Luo Guangqing chuckled in his heart.

Cen Yin instructed: "Luo Guangqing, you immediately take 3,000 people to Tong'er City, where is the epicenter, at that time, the damage suffered will be the most serious, and you will be personally responsible for the evacuation and resettlement of the local people, and manage and coordinate the affairs of the surrounding cities." ”

"Bring all the existing supplies, and the ...... that are still missing" said, Cen Yin's eyes fell on Luo Qifang again, "It depends on how much he can raise." ”

Luo Qifang only felt that his shoulders felt like pressing a small mountain, heavy, and the pressure was even greater.

Cen Yin's right hand made a fist and tapped twice on the desk, and then asked, "What are your plans for the surrounding cities of Tong'er City?" ”

"Who are the magistrates and garrisons of these cities? What about the capabilities? ”

“……”

Cen Yin threw out a series of questions again, Luo Qifang's expression was solemn, he sorted out his thoughts, and answered them fluently.

The voices of the three people in the room came and went, and occasionally, the rustle of the wind blowing the green bamboo sounded.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Luo Qifang and Luo Guangqing retreated together.

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, both sweating profusely, and a large piece of wet from their hair to their clothes.

Luo Qifang took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and wiped the sweat on his forehead, thinking back to the scene just now, his eyes flashed slightly, and he thought: This Governor Cen who once replaced the abolished emperor Mu Jianming in the palm of the Dasheng Dynasty is really not an ordinary person, and even a small chamberlain who served closely beside him is not simple!

Luo Guangqing and Luo Qifang also thought of a direction, the two exchanged glances, and then looked back at the room behind.

At this moment, Luo Qifang and Luo Guangqing began to feel a little sympathetic to the people in Beijing, especially several elders in the cabinet, who worked with such an ancestor all day long, and they were afraid that they would be tossed by him for several years.

In addition to sympathy, Luo Qifang had a trace of embarrassment in his heart, and sighed with a complicated expression: "No wonder......"

It's no wonder that over the years, all the civil and military officials in Beijing have been obedient and don't dare to make any moths, after all, in front of Cen Yin, under this absolute power and coercion, they are afraid that they can't even say the word "no", so they can only act according to orders.

I don't know who sighed softly, but as soon as the wind blew, the sigh was blown away, and even the clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the scorching sun began to release scorching heat again.

Luo Guangqing also wiped his sweat, came back to his senses, looked at Luo Qifang and said, "Qifang, I will leave this afternoon, and I will leave it to you here." ”

Tong'er City is the top priority, time is urgent, he must immediately lead his troops to set off, as far as possible to minimize the loss of this Earth Dragon's turnover.

Luo Qifang arched his hand at Luo Qifang, "Brother Luo, have a good trip." ”

Both of them perked up and walked away.

It's time for them to get to work, too!

This time, they have already disgraced the emperor, and nothing can go wrong again!

Next, they have to do it beautifully, so that Cen Yin can't find mistakes.

Cen Yin was still sitting by the window, quietly looking at the swaying green bamboo forest outside the window, his slender fingers rubbing casually on the white porcelain embossed teacup at hand.

These two people are really too tender......

Cen Yin estimated that he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the capital within a year.

The little scorpion cleverly went to rebrew a cup of new tea for Cen Yin, and the fragrance of tea belonging to Longjing floated in the room, faint and refreshing.

In the next few days, all the movements of Luo Guangqing and Luo Qifang continued to be brought to Cen Yin by Jinyiwei one by one.

Luo Guangqing and the afternoon of the same day led 3,000 elite horses to leave Dayue City and go to Tong'er City, a hundred miles away, with 10,000 tents, 20 carts of grain and grass, and 2 carts of medicinal herbs.

The next day, that is, on June 30, Luo Qifang drew up a forced levy order, with a strong attitude in several cities, including Dayue City, to forcibly levy a large number of oilcloth, which was resisted by the joint resistance of those cloth villages, and in the end, it was Luo Qifang who dispatched troops to suppress these troublesome merchants.

“…… Overseer, Lord Luo has collected a total of 30,000 pieces of oilcloth in the past two days. A square-faced brocade guard maintained a fist-hugging posture, and bowed one by one, "It's all the cloth that those Huaizhou merchants deliberately hoarded in the cloth village, and they originally planned to continue to raise the price so that they could sell it at a high price." ”

The square-faced Jinyi Wei pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Although the merchants are profit-seeking, there will be natural disasters soon, and I don't know how many people will die, and now it is their own people in Huaizhou who want to use these tents!" ”

These Huaizhou businessmen's move is tantamount to making a fortune! For such unscrupulous profiteers, why bother to talk to them about morality!

Jin Yiwei couldn't help but look at Cen Yin's expression while bowing.

Cen Yin sat behind a red lacquered wood carving case, holding a carving knife in one hand and a bloodstone seal stone the size of a baby's fist in the other.

This small bloodstone seal has been carved seventy-seven eighty-eight, and the red fox squatting on the seal button is lifelike, and there is a big red peony flower in its paws.

Cen Yin slowly carved the details on the button with a carving knife, such as a flower, like a fox's eyes, like a fox's claws...... Again and again, the carving knife made a subtle sound on the stone, more subtle than the sound of the wind blowing the leaves outside the window.

"Click......"

"Rustling ......"

The square-faced Jinyi Wei continued: "In addition, Lord Luo has also published lists in various places to recruit women to sew tents at a price of four wen per tent, and now about two thousand women have been recruited. In addition, several surrounding cities are also recruiting people under the leadership of the county governor and garrison......"

He quickly finished his business, looked up at Cen Yin again, and saw that he was still engraving, so he consciously closed his mouth.

He didn't dare to leave, nor did he dare to disturb Cen Yin, for fear of disturbing him.

If the Overseer destroys this small seal, he can't afford it!

Jin Yiwei stood aside with low eyebrows, without saying a word, time passed quietly, and the room was quiet.

I don't know how long it took, Cen Yin finally put down the carving knife.

He played with the small seal in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then hooked his lips and smiled.

A beautiful face, clear eyes, and bright colors.

"Little Scorpion, you go and call Wang Chenghui." Cen Yin commanded lightly, and at the same time carefully put the freshly carved bloodstone seal in his hand into a mahogany box.

The mahogany box is delicate and beautiful, and the box is engraved with peony patterns and cloud patterns, which are used to give away at a glance.

Could it be that this little seal was intended to be given by the Overseer? The square-faced Jinyiwei couldn't help but say in his heart, a little curious about who this was for. Curiosity is curiosity, even if he eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, he doesn't dare to inquire about the overseer.

The little scorpion immediately took the order, and while withdrawing, he also took away the brocade guard with the square face.

After another stick of incense, a tall and burly Dongchang fan came in with the little scorpion.

"Wang Chenghui," Cen Yin pointed to the wooden box on the desk and said, "You personally send this to the capital......" He originally wanted to say about the Muguo Mansion, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words, "Give it to the queen." ”

The little scorpion hung his head and said nothing, picked up the box and handed it to Wang Chenghui, he naturally knew who the contents of the box were for.

"Yes, Overseer. The subordinates hurried to the capital today. Wang Chenghui took the box with a solemn expression, and sighed in his heart: The overseer is so good to the queen, and people in Huaizhou have always thought about the queen, and the queen is really worthy of being the overseer's sister!

Wang Chenghui felt that he was shouldering a heavy responsibility, and carefully held the box and retreated.

As he withdrew, the house was calm again, except for the swaying of flowers and trees in the courtyard.

The atmosphere here is calm and peaceful, but it is not calm in Dayue City, which can be described as a wave of waves.

On the third day of the seventh month, 20,000 tents were sent from Da Yue City to Tong'er City.

The 50,000 tents on the military order are not enough, and there are other surrounding areas in Dayue City that will be affected by the transformation of the Earth Dragon.

Luo Qifang is still continuing to post and hire women, this tent is not difficult to make, there is no need for smart female celebrities, the court gives a lot of money, and many women from surrounding villages and towns also came to apply.

Luo Qifang simply asked the women to sew tents locally, and then the army went to the villages and towns every day to transport the finished tents back to Da Yue City.

At the same time, the matter of forcibly requisitioning oilcloth has not stopped, and the momentum is huge.

On the fourth day of the seventh month, Luo Qifang personally took people to the cloth merchants to find a large number of oilcloth in the warehouse in the west of Dayue City, and forcibly requisitioned it at the market price in early May.

The merchants of the city grew more and more dissatisfied, and the anger that had been pent up for days grew, and at this point, their anger finally erupted like a volcano.

Led by the president of the Chamber of Commerce and several elders, more than a dozen people went to the mansion of the patriarch of the Tuo clan in a menacing manner, wanting to ask the other party to come forward to administer justice for their merchants.

"Tuohara, these Dasheng people are really too deceitful!"

The president of the Chamber of Commerce, a short and fat old man in his sixties with gray hair, chattered and complained endlessly about the forced expropriation of oilcloth by the imperial court in the surrounding cities these days.

For thousands of years in the Central Plains, it was heavy agriculture and light business, and the status of merchants in Dasheng was not high, but Nanhuai was different from Dasheng, and there was never a concept of heavy agriculture and light business, and the status of these wealthy merchants in the original Nanhuai was still quite high, only lower than the patriarchs of various ethnic groups and court officials.

It is precisely because they have been accustomed to smooth sailing for hundreds of years that they have always acted arrogantly, doing whatever they want, and seeking mercenary.

"They're robbers!" Another middle-aged man with a beard scolded indignantly.

The elders of the other chambers of commerce also echoed one after another, feeling that these Dasheng people were simply inexplicable, first of all, the gods said that there would be an earth dragon turning over in the near future, and what kind of tents should be made.

At that time, the Chamber of Commerce held a meeting to discuss this matter, thinking that regardless of whether these Dasheng people were wrong or not, for them, this was an opportunity to make money.

Therefore, they began to gradually hoard goods, gradually increase prices, and began to monopolize, and even pulled together those small merchants outside the chamber of commerce, so that they could unite the front, just waiting to put a long line to catch a big fish and make a lot of money.

The plan went smoothly at first, and many of them also made a fortune by gradually raising prices and limiting purchases.

According to the price of the forced requisition, they can't make much money at all, so it is better to sell it last month!

Thinking of the tarpaulin that had just been forcibly taken away, several merchants felt as if they had been stripped of a piece of flesh and blood, and they were extremely distressed.

"Tuharah, you and the other patriarchs are going to call the shots for us!" The president of the Chamber of Commerce said indignantly to several tribal chiefs, including Tuohala.

Tuhala exchanged glances with the other patriarchs.

This approach didn't want Luo Qifang's style, they could almost guess that it was what Cen Yin was planning behind it.

These patriarchs were already dissatisfied with no one in Cen Yin's eyes, and now they are even more so.

One of the patriarchs touched the beard in the human middle and said, "What earth dragon turned over!" In my opinion, this is nothing more than an excuse, an excuse to seize power! If we don't suppress that Cen Yin's momentum now, there will be no place for us in this Huaizhou! ”

The other patriarchs and chambers of commerce also nodded.

"I have to ask for an explanation!" Tuhara slapped his palm on the case, causing the fruit basin and wine glass on the case to shake.

Everyone felt the same way, so it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, and they set off together, intending to ask for an explanation.

The group rushed to see Luo Qifang.

The summer cicadas chirp hysterically in July, as if to cheer them on.

The double is almost over, and there is still a monthly pass?
