Liu Xiu was stationed outside, and Cangwu County quickly stabilized under Shi Xie's treatment. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ШЩЩ.(7)(9)XS.сОМ.

The army, still stationed.

Liu Xiu didn't leave for the time being, and was still waiting for Huang Zhong to lead the army. The order has been notified, and we have to wait for news from Huang Zhong's side. Only after Huang Zhong arrived in Cangwu County could Liu Xiu leave with confidence.

On this day, Liu Xiu handled government affairs in the camp tent.

"Report!"

Outside the tent, Deng Zhan walked in.

Deng Zhanyu reported: "Lord, Shixie asks to see. ”

"Please!"

Liu Xiu commanded.

Deng Zhan went down to give the order, and after a short time, Shi Xie came to the camp tent and bowed to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said: "Wei Yangong, please take a seat!"

Shi Xie sat down and said, "Lord, the old man is here for the sake of food. ”

Liu Xiudao: "Is there a problem with food?"

Shi Xie nodded and said: "When Liu Bei controlled Cangwu County, when he controlled the 'Jiao' Prefecture, he wantonly recruited troops to expand his strength. As a result, there is a shortage of food in the entire 'Jiao' state. After the war, food was even more scarce. The price of grain in the market changes three times a day, and it is no longer stable. There was a famine among the people, and the situation became more and more serious. When the old man came, he asked the lord if he could 'pump' grain from Jingzhou to provide disaster relief and stabilize the people's hearts. ”

Liu Xiu listened, and stopped speaking in an instant.

In his eyes, there is a look of scrutiny.

Shi Xie was in power for a short time and stabilized the situation in a very short time. Liu Xiu appreciates this ability. But Shixie came to ask for food, and Liu Xiu didn't believe that Shixie's ability could not get food for disaster relief.

The Shi family has been a famous family for a hundred years, and with the support of the Shi family, Liu Xiu also believes that it is enough to stabilize the problem of food.

Liu Xiu didn't speak, and for a while, Shi Xie's face was also 'exposed' and 'pale'.

Facing Liu Xiu's scrutinizing eyes, Shixie, a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, was also on pins and needles for a while. In such a situation, even Shi Xie was worried.

Liu Xiu said lightly: "Wei Yangong, what the hell is going on, let's talk about it." ”

Shi Xie was silent for a moment and said, "There is indeed a shortage of grain in Cangwu County, and the same is true for 'Jiao' Prefecture. The problem of grain mainly comes from the hoarding of grain by the big families in the 'Jiaozhou' state. ”

Liu Xiu said: "The reason why I am looking for this official is because the 'Jiao' Zhou Shi family is the leader of the 'Jiao' Zhou family, you represent them, and you can't do anything to them at will, right?"

When Shi Xie heard this, he was speechless for a while.

Liu Xiu pointed out the reason point, and this is indeed the case. The Shi family is the leader of the 'Jiao' state family, once Shi Xie makes a move, the Shi family will no longer have its current status, and will be targeted by the major families.

Liu Xiu said: "Shi Weiyan, you are not only the head of the Shi family, but also the parent official of the people of the state. If the Shi family can't handle the food problem, then I don't mind changing to a 'handover' state assassin history. ”

When Shi Xie heard this, he chuckled in his heart.

The old guy ostensibly came to Liu Xiu for help, but in fact, he also took the opportunity to test Liu Xiu's attitude.

Once Liu Xiu gives food, Shixie will have the best of both worlds.

It not only appeased the people, but also properly handled the relationship between the Shi family and the 'Jiaozhou' family.

However, Liu Xiu saw through the problem at a glance, and instead 'forced' Shixie into the corner. However, such a result itself was also expected by Shi Xie.

Liu Xiu continued: "Wei Yangong, I don't want similar problems to happen again. You don't have to test me, just do what you have to do. I just want the result, the process is unstable. ”

"Yes!"

Shi Xie nodded in response, and then retreated.

Walking out of the tent, Shi Xie let out a sigh of relief, and then went back to deal with the food affairs.

Liu Xiu shouted: "Deng Zhan!"

"In!"

Deng Zhan walked to the tent and bowed.

Liu Xiu instructed: "You immediately go and check which families in Cangwu County are hoarding grain and raising the price of grain." Everyone, make a list for me. ”

"Yes!"

Deng Zhan responded and hurriedly went out.

For two days, Deng Zhan collected the news and then returned to the camp.

Deng Zhan handed over the results of the inventory and said, "My lord, the people involved in hoarding grain and raising the price of grain have all been recorded. These people are the main figures in this time in Cangwu County and even in the 'Jiao' Prefecture. ”

Liu Xiu took a closer look, and there were sixteen people on the list, all with different surnames.

Judging from this, it is obvious that none of them are family.

Liu Xiu's eyes showed a cold look, and he waved his hand: "Got it, you go down." Continued attention to the full display of food. ”

"No!"

Deng Zhan retreated, and Liu Xiu looked at the list in his hand, with a trace of murderous aura in his eyes.

What will Shi Xie do about this matter?

"Report!"

Time compensation, the soldier came to report: "My lord, Shixie asks to see." ”

"Please!"

Liu Xiu gave an order, and the soldiers went down to pass through.

Shi Xie came to the camp tent, bowed his hand, and then said, "My lord, I came here this time to report the food. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Sit and say!"

"Thank you, lord!"

After Shi Xie lifted his robe and sat down, he said: "Cangwu County and even the 'Jiao' Prefecture are short of grain, and the lowly position has united the prominent clans of the 'Jiao' Prefecture to stabilize the price of grain together. Today, food prices have stabilized and prices have come down. In addition, major merchants also took out grain to continue selling. In addition, a total of 14 families in the major families in Jiaozhou are grateful for the kindness of the lord and have donated food for disaster relief. A total of 500,000 stone of grain was donated this time. This batch of grain has already been arranged for disaster relief. ”

Liu Xiu thought that there were sixteen in total, what about the other two?

Liu Xiu said: "Fourteen families donated food, are they all voluntary?"

Shi Xie said: "It's all voluntary. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Is there anything involuntary?"

Shi Xie replied: "There are two big clans who are involuntary, and now they have taken it on the grounds of hoarding grain and undermining the stability of the 'Jiao' state. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes became more and more calm, and then he asked, "How much money and grain have been copied from these two families? Let's just say how much grain is converted." ”

"Boom!"

Shi Xie's heart was nervous, and he said, "Back to the lord, there are about 400,000 stone grains. ”

Liu Xiudu asked about this step, obviously already understanding the matter.

In such a situation, there is no point in hiding it.

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "It is equivalent to 400,000 stone of grain, which means that the remaining fourteen families have donated a total of 100,000 stone of grain." How much food did your family donate?"

Shi Xie replied, "The Shi family donated 60,000 stone of grain. ”

Liu Xiu said: "What a scholar's family, worthy of being a century-old family in Jiaozhou. Yes, I am satisfied with the efforts of the Shi family. But the other major families are far from enough. Their crime of hoarding food could not be solved easily. Wei Yangong, I need to deal with it further. In other words, this food does not offset their sins. ”

"Yes!"

Shi Xie's old face twitched, and there was already a chill on his back.

This time to donate food for disaster relief, Shi Xie took two families that did not deal with the Shi family. As for the rest of the people, Shi Xie took this opportunity to win them over.

However, one of Liu Xiu's orders forced him to take action against other major families.

In any case, this will cause the scholars and the major families to have a disagreement.

Liu Xiu's simple move was to avoid collusion between the Shi family and the major families. Liu Xiu looked at Shi Xie and said, "Wei Yangong, as long as you work hard and enforce the law impartially, I believe that the Shi family will get far more in the future than the current small profits." Whether it is a famous history, or a camp, it is all in your thoughts. ”

After hearing this, Shi Xie arched his hand and said, "Yes, I understand the humble position." ”

At this moment, Shi Xie felt a little more chill at Liu Xiu's power tricks. He has been in officialdom for decades, and his age is several times that of Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu is not very old, and he is so old and spicy.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Let's go down, I hope to see a better result." ”

Shi Xie said: "Rest assured, the lord will definitely deal with the humble position." ”

Liu Xiumu saw Shi Xie leave, sneering in his heart.

Although this old fellow was submissive to him, and the scholars were submissive to him, he always liked to come to temptation. Shi Xie is a cunning old 'treacherous' and too smart, but he also has too many scruples.

Liu Xiu asked Shixie to deal with the major families, which was to isolate the Shi family and let the Shi family stand on the opposite side of the 'Jiao' Zhou family, so as to better control the 'Jiao' Zhou, otherwise the Shi family and the major families will have an impact on future governance.

Liu Xiu commanded: "Deng Zhan!"

"In!"

Deng Zhan walked in and bowed.

Liu Xiu instructed: "Get ready, let's go to the city and have a look." Don't take the soldiers, go for a walk. "Regarding the situation in Guangxin County, although Deng Zhan inquired about the news, Liu Xiu still went to see it in person.

"Yes! ”

Deng Zhan went down to make arrangements, and soon left the camp with Liu Xiu and entered the county seat.
