Yinxiang and Yinzhen took four servants, beat horses and went to Gaoyou, Kangxi Yuzhou will be stationed in Gaoyou Prefecture one day, Huaiyin and Gaoyou are only more than 200 miles, and a day of speed will be in time. Reading the book// The two slowed down slightly, Yinzhen sighed, and said, "Can the thirteenth brother see the situation when he went out of the city just now?" Yinxiang looked condensed and said: "There are more and more hungry people in the city, but the rice shops are all off the board, I don't know if those merchants want to hoard Juqi or there is no rice to sell, in short, the situation is not good." Shi Shilun is a bit bold. Yinzhen nodded and said, "That's what Brother Thirteen said." Compared with that Dong Anguo, Shi Shilun really didn't lose Shi Lang's share. After a pause, he couldn't help it, and said: "The starling brother looked at it and became a little anxious, no matter how you say it, you should also look at the fourth brother." Yinxiang didn't want to take too much of this stubble, so he only said lightly: "The fourth brother left the starling by his side, and the starling should know what to do." But the two of us want to do things beautifully, since the fourth brother believes in us so much, how can we not be in vain to the entrustment of Huang Ama and the fourth brother. Yinzhen only showed a little smile at this time, and the two brothers added a whip on the horse at the same time, and galloped forward hurriedly.

The next day, after inspecting the micro-service in the city, Yinshan specially invited Shi Shilun. In the inner hall of Huaiying Mansion, he motioned for Shi Shilun to sit nearby, Shi Shilun hesitated for a moment before sitting next to Yin's left. Yin smiled bitterly: "Wenxian, how can we say that we have known each other for some time, why are you so estranged?" Shi Shilun still said with a straight face: "Yongbeile received the holy order this time, and there is no need to shy away from it. It's just that the last time Yongbeile remembered that the old man of Zhidao was not a trivial matter, Shilun dared not to stay away from Lord Belle?" At the end of the sentence, Shi Shilun used his name to call himself, which seemed much closer. Reading the book// This sentence also made Yin's words happy, and handed over Li Wei's case to Shi Shilun, which was to see that he was not afraid of the powerful, but it did give Shi Shilun a headache. It seems that Shi Shilun has been trained in officialdom over the years, and his personal training is much stronger than before.

Yin smiled and said, "Didn't the Li family's case also earn Wen Xian the name of 'Qingtian'? Besides, Wen Xian's trouble this time was not brought by me, right?" Shi Shilun also smiled and said, "The fourth master wants Shi Lun to stay, isn't he here to review the profit and loss with Shi Lun?" Yin smiled and said, "Wen Xian said it easily. You withheld the grain without asking for a decree, although the matter is urgent, but the punishment is inevitable, you are not afraid?" Shi Shilun pondered for a moment and said: "The emperor is benevolent, Shilun pondered that the emperor will allocate grain to help the people in water and fire, and Shilun has also prepared a fold of asking for guilt. Yin? interrupted him and said: "This is the meaning of the question, there are no rules, and it will be a square circle? If the provincial officials of the state government follow your example in the future, won't it be messed up? "Yes, Seron understands. But as long as there is no starvation in the city, Shilun doesn't care about his future. ”

"Oh, ignoring personal honor and disgrace is worthy of being done by a minister. But have you cut off 100,000 grains and are you going to use them all for soup kitchen?" Although his tone was gentle, his words suddenly turned sharp.

Shi Shilun paused for a moment, and then muttered: "If the grain is not used for porridge, what is the use of interception?" Yin? sighed and said, "For the use of grain, Wenxian is still a little angry." Have you ever thought about the reasons why the price of rice has risen to more than ten times the usual level in addition to floods?" Shi Shilun thought for a moment and said: "Most of the people who run rice shops in the city are profiteers. Taking advantage of the scarcity of food during the flood, Shilun once posted a notice with Huaiying Mansion to ask grain merchants to sell at the price of grain on weekdays, but with little effect. Some grain merchants even closed their rice shops, falsely claiming that they had no grain to sell. Seeing that the hungry people were numerous, Shilun set up a porridge shack. ”

Yin said: "That's it." As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, but why do just the merchants dare to go against you? Without him, they only guard one thing: the people have to live by eating food, and they just have food in their hands!" Then, Yin? picked up the most understandable way to explain the impact of the difference between supply and demand on prices for Shi Shilun, until Shi Shilun fell into deep thought. Yin continued: "The grain is used to set up a porridge shed, although it can quench the hunger and thirst of the victims for a while, but in the long run, it is not necessarily the best policy. First, because of the porridge in the government's house, the people in the city also rely on the porridge shacks of the government government to live like the victims of the disaster, and no longer buy grain, and the grain merchants cannot store grain, so they will inevitably transfer the grain and rice to other provinces and sell it cheaply, and the rice in the city will be even less, and the other provinces will cause rice to be cheap and hurt the peasants due to the influx of a large amount of grain and rice. Second, the grain was used as tax grain to fill the granary of Gyeonggi and prepare for the needs of the imperial court. After the grain was used for relief, the imperial court still needed to make up for the shortage in the warehouse, so it had to use state funds to buy grain. The treasury has long been stretched thin due to the pacification of border affairs...... ”

Shi Shilun's brows were almost squeezed into a Sichuan character, and after a long time, he said: "Shilun thought badly before." Now it seems that the best choice is to stabilize the price of grain in the city with grain. Shilun arranged for people to sell grain to the people in the city at a low price, so that if the grain merchants did not want to lose their money, they had to sell it at the price of grain from the government, and in a few days, the price of grain would fall back as before. At the same time, Shilun set up a place outside the north gate to resettle the victims, and only set up porridge sheds in that place, and recruited people to repair the river among the victims, so that they could also have a way to live in peace. Yin smiled slightly and said, "Originally, I just thought that Wen Xian was quite insightful in prison, but now it seems that Wen Xian, the civil affairs of Qian Valley, is not weak. Shi Shilun waved his hand hurriedly and said, "If it weren't for the fourth master to mention it, what would Shilun think about this." ”

At this time, Yin? suddenly remembered a past incident related to Shi Shilun that he had heard, so he asked with interest: "You were in the Taizhou prefect the year before last?" Seeing Shi Shilun nodding yes, Yin couldn't help but smile, and said, "Do you know that you have a nickname in Beijing?" Shi Shilun showed some embarrassment on his face, and said: "The fourth master told Shilun a long time ago. This time it was Yin's turn to be embarrassed, and he naturally wouldn't forget the previous joke of "incomplete" that caused Shi Shilun to be furious, so he said: "That was my previous juvenile nonsense, and I couldn't count it." Wen Xian now has the name of 'Iron Mask Prefect' in Beijing, but he is very arrogant?" Shi Shilun smiled and said, "It turns out that the fourth master is talking about this. The year before last, the emperor sent Qin to supervise the repair of the Taizhou River embankment, but some subordinates and river soldiers harassed the local people. Yin? sighed lightly in his heart, although Shi Shilun did not mention the name of this minister, but Yinshan knew that one of the most relied on courtiers under Kangxi at the moment, the household department was full of Shangshu Ma Qi!
