Chapter Thirty-Nine: Opportunity
Reminiscent of his words frightened Liu Zhu.
He had heard the news of Lianzhou, but his past relationship had long since lost contact, and whether it was the calculation of Tongcheng or the negotiation with him, he had seen the difference between this woman.
It's nothing new to get deeper news than him.
Liu Shu did not hesitate, and simply asked: "Lianzhou wants to be chaotic?" ”
In any case, he is now the Taishou of Tongcheng, and since he is responsible, he should take responsibility. If Lianzhou is in chaos, he must deal with it as soon as possible.
Wen shook his head: "Lianzhou must have been in chaos for a long time, but it is not the kind of chaos you think." Xu Sanlang, who scolded the palace, is a person from Qianlong County, and someone will definitely find out about Tongcheng in this matter. ”
Liu Zhu made such a big move in Tongcheng, Lianzhou should have sent someone anyway, and he would reward him in the open, and he would definitely have to go if he secretly found out.
How can Liu Shu withstand this, no matter how much he prepares to say more, what he says is not the truth, as long as it is not the truth, there is a possibility of being exposed.
Coincidentally, there was an order in the Zhaohua Palace, and then there was Xu Sanlang's scolding. Let the eyes of the entire Nanchu be focused on Lianzhou City. Tongcheng's matter is not important.
Although he and Wen Su are now in the same position, he still doesn't know whether Wen Su wants to hide behind him and seek a stable identity as a subject of Southern Chu, or if he has other plans.
But he understands that as long as he wants to continue to be this Taishou, he must keep the secret between the two people.
Liu Zhu thought of this, and had a calculation in his heart: "Within two days, all the displaced people who have entered the city can be verified again, and those who enter the city from today will pay more attention. ”
Seeing that Liu Shu understood what he meant, he said: "Shuzuo told you that I want to change the official test, and this is not for you, but for those big clans." The turmoil in Nanchu is coming, and there must be profiteering among these people, but not all of them. You bite too hard, they don't have a chance to come forward, I'm going to open an opening. ”
Liu Zhu smiled and said: "Whatever my aunt wants to do, just do it." How I was, how I will be. ”
As soon as these words came out, the two of them laughed.
Now that we have said that, it is good to act separately. Liu Zhu was not polite and said goodbye.
The displaced people who came to Tongcheng now have two best places to go, one is the four city walls of Tongcheng, and Wenliang sent two from the Liangzhou army to Liu Shu, who was in charge of the reinforcement of the city wall and the construction of fortifications. The homeless people can come here to work hard, and the city will arrange food and lodging together, eat cooked meat at noon, drink broth at night, and the monthly money will be settled by ten years, and generally one person can have three or four taels of silver a month.
Tongcheng 36 squares, only the south city Xingde Xingli two squares between a south market, Liu Zhu in Liangzhou army with the assistance of the market price stabilized, today's market, a tael of silver for more than 200 catties of rice.
Housing is expensive, most of the post inns in the city are used to accept homeless people, the cheapest, one or two a month. The homeless people have to work hard and eat less, but they don't have the so-called housing. Therefore, this kind of cheap one is full early, and later people can't grab it, so they can only live in those who are a few taels a month.
Originally, the post house could not be opened casually, but the situation was like this, under the mediation of Liu Shu, some of the original wine shops and teahouses were simply changed to inns, but they were still a drop in the bucket.
In this way, the city wall is generally cost-effective, and most of the young and energetic homeless people are here.
The other place is the original Yang Mansion, and now the mourning hall of Wen Xin and the people who were harmed by Yang Wantang.
It is mostly renovated and arranged, and there is not much work to demolish and rebuild, but it is tedious. However, in the future, it will be a long-term employment. The same is to eat and live, eat meat once every three days, issue two bodies and clothing, and fix five taels of money a month.
The rest are the wine shops, teahouses, inns and inns in the city, but they are not the industries related to the state government, they are scattered and different.
Liu Zhu just came out of the old courtyard. In the afternoon of the same day, there was an incident at the gate of the original Yang Mansion.
The work here generally gives preference to women, and there are also some scholars who can't do the hard work. In addition, there are also some strong men who take care of them.
It was this caretaker who had an accident, and two groups of strong and vicious homeless people, in order to rob this errand, fought at the gate of Yang's mansion without saying a word. Not to mention smashing things, it almost hurt people's lives.
The displaced people entered the city and were originally resettled, and they only thought about doing work, and rarely made trouble, but as soon as this happened, the later displaced people in Tongcheng, or the original residents, even the officials and officials tightened a string.
Taishou quickly sent an official to take both groups away, and it is said that they were imprisoned. Then he took this as a lesson and re-checked the displaced people who had entered Tongcheng.
If the source is ambiguous, and there are no more than three relatives or friends accompanying them, the government will re-register them, arrange their residences as a whole, and report on their daily arrivals.
Originally, they each made a good living, but these two groups of people were delayed, and there was a lot of discussion among the homeless people, and the spearhead was pointed at the troublemakers, but no one talked about the Tongcheng Mansion.
It's just that everyone doesn't know where these two groups of people came from or when they entered the city.
However, in fact, these two groups of more than a dozen people changed their clothes and washed their faces in the government office, and went out of the city overnight, going south and north, each replacing the secret guards of Beiyu and Nanchu, and then turning into homeless people into the city.
Li Mao's people, these things are easy to do.
Under this pretense, no one else knew that Liu Zhu actually wanted to investigate the affairs of Lianzhou.
At the same time, the news that Aunt Taishou was going to change the official test also reached the ears of the big families.
In the process of the book's communication, the news also spread a few hands, saying that the aunt scolded Liu for being confused, and the public inspection was in this troubled world, and I don't know how many bad people will be let into the city.
Naturally, the words were the first to reach the largest Wang clan in Tongcheng, the lord of the Zheng family in the north of the city.
Zheng Tongyi listened, how familiar this is, Liu Zhi's aunt has soldiers and horses under her hands, and she is pressing Liu Zhu's head, and she is by no means a good person at first glance.
What troubled times, what worries about letting gangsters enter the city, she must be aware of Yang Wantang's deeds, and at this time she wants to take this matter into her own hands, but seeing that she is blocked by her nephew, how can she give up.
So Liu Zhu can carry himself as an outsider, and he can still carry his own elders in the mansion?
What's more, if you look closer, what did Liu Zhu rely on to return to the city, and how did he come to be the real power of Tongcheng. In the distance, who helped him save his life.
This is all the kindness given to him by his own elders. No matter how impregnable he is, can he withstand this?
Since the aunt is greedy for money, the Zheng family has a chance. This opening will be opened sooner or later, and no one else will be allowed to take the lead.
