Chapter 301: Do you need to consider the consequences of a war?

It's not impossible to knock one, Li Qinzai doesn't care about his face.

When he was chased and killed by his father with a stick all over the courtyard in the Guogong Mansion, Li Qinzai's face was like a lost youth that could never be recovered.

The question is, if it doesn't work after kowtowing to the grain merchants, won't it be in vain?

You can't buy and sell at a loss.

"The people are short of grain and have nowhere to buy, and the grain merchants are hoarding strange and unwilling to sell, so can the king have a good plan?" Li Qinzai asked with a smile.

Wang Shifu said in a low voice: "The lower officials think that they can use both soft and hard, suppress the grain merchants on the one hand, and be gentle on the other, so that they not only know that the king's law is strict, but also accept the sophistication of the people, understand the reason with emotion, and wait for the sword and soldiers, and the matter can be done." ”

Li Qinzai looked at him in surprise.

I have to, this method has merit, Wang Shifu is really good, first of all, his ass is not crooked, these words are indeed from the position of the court and the people.

Secondly, do not be pedantic, do not abide by stereotypes, and the proposed methods are indeed effective.

Li Qinzai couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that Song Sen's information was correct, and Wang Shifu was indeed a good person and a good official?

"It's a good solution, what Wang Beijia just thought of?"

Wang Shifu lowered his head and said: "As early as the day when the grain merchant hoarded Qi, Xia Guan pondered how to deal with it, but the predecessor Song Tingshi couldn't make a decision for a long time, and Xia Guan had to give up after mentioning it a few times. ”

"You don't want to drive, you can do it yourself."

"The assassin is in office, and the subordinate officials dare not overstep their responsibilities."

Li Qinzai looked at him deeply and smiled silently.

The two stood in front of a grain store and chatted for a while, and when they were about to leave, they suddenly saw an old man carrying an empty cloth bag staggering in the distance.

The old man has a yellow face and thin muscles, his legs and feet are a little inconvenient, and his walking posture is a little weird.

Walking in front of the grain shop, seeing that the door was closed, the old man sighed helplessly, looked around and hesitated for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and carefully knocked on the door of the grain shop.

After knocking for a long time, the door of the grain store finally opened, and a shopkeeper impatiently stuck out his head and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you knocking on?" Didn't see the door closed? What does it mean to close the door? Don't buy or sell today! ”

Just as he was about to close the door, the old man clung to the door frame and begged, "Okay, sell some millet rice, the grandchildren at home are so hungry that they don't have any rice soup to drink...... I have money, money. ”

The guy sneered: "The shopkeeper, we won't do business this month, we have no food to sell." ”

The old man was anxious: "Why don't you have any food?" Yesterday someone saw you get into a few carts of grain......"

The man sneered and said, "Do you have the money to buy food?" ”

Seeing that his tone was loose, the old man thought that there was hope, and hurriedly said, "Rich, rich!" ”

The guy sneered: "A liter of millet is thirty wen, how much do you want to buy?" ”

The old man was about to take out the money in his arms, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, and looked at him in disbelief: "Didn't you hear it right?" 1 liter of millet ...... Thirty essays? A liter, millet ”

"That's right, a liter of millet is 30 wen, do you want to buy it?"

The old man suddenly became excited: "You are a descendant, why don't you just go and grab the money?" How can there be such an expensive millet in the world, in previous years, a liter of millet only cost two yuan, why has it increased more than tenfold this year? ”

The guy sneered: "Buying and selling, one is willing to buy, the other is willing to sell, I didn't force you to buy, if you can't afford it, you might as well go elsewhere, don't make trouble for us." ”

The old man trembled with anger, pointed at him and said, "It's too much to deceive people, aren't you afraid of the king's law?" ”

The guy rolled his eyes and said: "My own grain, I like to sell as much as I like, I didn't kill people and set fires, and I didn't rob and deceive, which royal law did I commit?" Can't afford it, get out of here! ”

The guy closed the door unceremoniously.

The old man stood alone outside the door, his body becoming more and more rickety, his face gradually covered with despair, and muttered, "How is it good, how is it good, my poor grandson ......"

Li Qinzai and Wang Shifu stood not far away and watched all this quietly, their expressions remained unchanged, but a trace of coldness flashed in Li Qinzai's eyes.

After a long time, Li Qinzai suddenly signaled to Liu Asi, asked the tribe to leave the old man, asked him to wait, and then looked at Wang Shifu and said, "The grain merchants maliciously raised the price of grain, can the court really not control them?" ”

Wang Shifu thought for a while and said: "Unless it is confirmed that it is indeed a disaster year, the imperial court will issue a decree strictly not to raise the price of grain, and violators will be severely punished." However, before the decree is issued, the government can only intervene, and whether the crime is punished or not depends on the current situation. ”

"For example, at the moment, if the punishment of grain merchants will undoubtedly cause a fierce backlash from major grain merchants and cause serious consequences, then the government usually discusses with grain merchants and will not punish them rashly."

Wang Shifu smiled bitterly: "The law is nothing more than human affection, the law of the imperial court comes from the capital, but how effective it can be when it is issued to the locality, it can only be appropriately adapted according to the situation......

Li Qinzai smiled: "It makes sense, officialdom should be a little more slippery, there is no reason to make enemies everywhere as an official, it is impossible to get along with your future......"

Wang Shifu seemed to hear the different meaning of Li Qinzai's words, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Li Tingshi ......"

Li Qinzai laughed and said: "I heard that Wang Beijia was also born in a famous county, and the Taiyuan Wang family is also the gate valve of the world, the sentence is ugly, you and I are both from humble backgrounds, I want to ask Wang Beijia, did you ever do anything to bully people when you were young?" ”

Wang Shifu lowered his head and said: "Xiaguan did act rashly when he was young, but now he is middle-aged, and he is no longer the same as he used to be. ”

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Fortunately, I am not middle-aged, and I am still qualified to cause trouble, do you want to see how the gentleman from Chang'an City got into trouble?" ”

Wang Shifu was taken aback: "Li Tingshi thinks twice......"

"Think about it twice, seeing these businessmen starving my people, and still arrogant and arrogant, abusing the people under my rule is not a slap in the face of this thorn in my face?"

"What does Li Tingshi want?"

Li Qinzai looked strange: "Of course you fight back, otherwise?" Really knock him along? ”

Wang Shifu trembled and blurted out: "Li Thorn Shi can't!" offended the grain merchants, the consequences ......"

Before the words were finished, Li Qinzai suddenly shouted: "Ah Si, break the door!" ”

Liu Asi, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly flew up, and with a loud bang, the door of the grain store was kicked open, and the wide door panel fell heavily to the ground, raising a puff of dust.

At the same time, there was a frightened cry from the grain store, and more than a dozen men immediately rushed up.

Li Qinzai took a few steps back and said, "Dare to resist arrest, and dare to attack and harass officials, adding to the crime!" Ah Si, put it all down for me and take down the shopkeeper! ”

After Li Qinzai smiled at Wang Shifu: "Wang Beijia, do you want to reminisce about the feelings of young maniacs?" You can beat this group of guys as you like, I'm in for a treat. ”
