"General, it's not good, they are all people who have been compensated by us, and now they have come to return the money, saying that they don't want to pay compensation with money, as long as they are their own chickens and ducks, we can't persuade them." The right guard at the yamen explained helplessly.

I have been in the army for many years, and I have always thought that the most difficult thing is battlefield killing, but today I know that compared with dealing with people's disputes, it is not as simple and decisive as battlefield killing, which is too difficult.

Cheng Zhijie did not reprimand his subordinates, patted his subordinates on the shoulders as encouragement, and then personally stepped forward to ask the people why.

"Fellow villagers, my old Cheng is also from a bitter background, so I will never do anything to oppress the people, you don't want to accept the money, but I have less money to compensate?" Cheng Yanjin asked loudly, "According to the orders of His Royal Highness King Qin, the compensation price of chickens and ducks will be raised by one percent above the market price. If anyone in my right military guard dares to deduct money and food, then I will definitely punish him severely! ”

The audience was silent, no one dared to speak, there was silence for a moment, and there was a bold shout: "General, it's not that we don't know what to do, since this chicken and duck is for King Qin to kill locusts, even if we don't need money, we should send it out." The family is really poor, and they point to a few chickens and ducks to lay some eggs for the children and the elderly to make up. ”

"The villagers are well aware of the righteousness, Lao Cheng is here to thank you on behalf of the imperial court!" Cheng Zhijie bowed respectfully, this is from the heart, not for show.

"Since the imperial court has a policy to compensate for the silver money, we want to use the silver money to buy some chickens and ducks back, but this money can't be bought in the market at all, not even a few chicks."

What???

Cheng Yanjin was shocked, could it be that there was really someone in his right armed guard who dared to fill his pockets?

"Quartermaster! How much is the aftermath compensation given to the people? Why is this happening? Cheng Biting Jin was furious.

The quartermaster was in a cold sweat, trembling and took out the account book to check with the group of people in front of him, but then he was stunned, "Returning to the general, this, this account is no problem, it's not our people who deducted the money." ”

Those people gradually became emboldened, and explained: "General, it's not that you give less silver, if it is usual, you do give more silver, enough to buy chickens and ducks again." But not now, all the local chickens and ducks have been taken away, and the price of chickens and ducks on the market has tripled, and there is no market, and the duck dealer explained that it was shipped from other places, and the long-distance journey naturally required additional money. ”

The quartermaster reminded in a low voice: "General, there is indeed this reason, scarcity is expensive, and the cost of loss and loss of transportation from other places is also large, so we cannot convict others." ”

Cheng Zhijie understood, but this problem seems to be a difficult problem, and it is not easy to solve.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the question is clear. Let's go back first, three days, three days, I will definitely come up with a good way to give you a satisfactory answer. Cheng Yanjin arched his hand and said.

The quartermaster also persuaded and said: "Let's go back first, folks, now the chickens and ducks will definitely not be available, and they have been transported to the front line to deal with the locusts." Just imagine, if the front line can't stop the locusts and let the locusts pass through Chang'an, then what is the use of having chickens and ducks now? Don't say that eggs will be rations in the future, and they will be buried in the locust plague. ”

"Yes, the general will definitely come up with a good idea to compensate for everyone's losses. It's not a problem for everyone to spend here now, after all, we can't conjure chickens and ducks out of thin air. ”

"Let's go, let's go!"

"Actually, it's good to have this kind of compensation, the chickens and ducks in the next village have been robbed by big households, and there is no compensation......

Well? Cheng bit Jin's ears very smart, and he stretched out his hand, "Go, go with that fellow villager and check it out, is there someone who is tricking and oppressing the people again?" Damn, Lao Tzu has 20,000 right guards, can't even kill a bully? ”

"Let's go, go back to the yamen, beat the drum and gather the generals, and discuss the matter in the middle hall! And you, didn't you say that Lao Tzu must be able to come up with a good idea? If you can't think of it, Lao Tzu will ask you! Cheng Yanjin pointed at the mouthy lieutenant general and ordered.

The adjutant general's smile instantly froze on his face, general, I, I was there to persuade the people......

"Report! General, someone from Chang'an is here to see! ”

"Chang'an? Hmph, it must be a group of rotten people who want to talk about chickens and ducks, Lao Tzu has no time to talk to them, I don't see! Didn't you see the military plane being discussed? Let him get out, and the Senate military aircraft must not be disturbed. "Lao Cheng was in a very bad mood, and he gathered to discuss for an hour, and he didn't even have a feasible plan.

Not only that, but even most of his subordinates are in favor of ignoring it, and they also say that the poor mountains and bad waters are out of the people, and we don't collect chickens and ducks to make a fortune, even if we don't pay compensation, what can we do? Now that compensation is given, they are not satisfied? Habitual!

If you want to supplement nutrition for the elderly and children, do you have to have eggs? How much money do you have, you can go buy something else, can you bully our right Wuwei to talk? I heard that the right Xiaowei side of the family took the chickens and ducks directly, and there was no compensation, only one sentence, borrow it first, and wait for the locusts to be returned after the battle, and the people over there didn't even dare to put a fart.

After talking and talking, Lao Cheng's nose was almost crooked, damn, Lao Tzu patted his chest in the Taiji Hall and promised that the right military guard would govern the army strictly, and he would never disturb the people. Look at you one by one, you're all ruffians! What if it were in your own home? Are you willing to be so brutal by your own army?

"You go and tell General Cheng that Xu Jingzong of the Qin Mansion has something important to visit!"

"Qin Wangfu? Hey, I'm sorry, but our general is indeed in the Senate military plane, and he didn't lie to Mr. The general gave a death order not to be disturbed. When the herald heard that it was the Qin Wangfu, his face was a little respectful, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he explained a few words.

Xu Jingzong asked curiously, "Oh? General Cheng came to supervise state affairs, did he encounter any problems? ”

After hesitating for a moment, the herald explained in a low voice, but Xu Jingzong smiled after hearing it, "What should I do, you let me in, I can solve it." Besides, it's a good thing that I'm here this time, if I turn around and go back to Chang'an now, haha, General Cheng will definitely regret it. ”

This......

The herald is very entangled, he is in a petty position, and if he violates military law, he will be punished.

"It's okay, I'll vouch for you, and I'll explain what happened." After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he strode inward, and the herald stretched out his hand to stop him, but he couldn't move under his feet, he should have wanted to cooperate in his heart.

"I have a good idea, I don't know if I can help General Cheng!" Xu Jingzong's clear voice reached the middle hall.

Everyone looked at the courtyard, Cheng bit Jin's brows, looked up at the person, and instantly smiled all over his face, "Oh, it's Xu Changshi's arrival, Lao Cheng has lost his welcome, and he is guilty of sin!" ”

"Oh? Welcome? Just now I remember who came down and told me to go back to Chang'an......"

"Who? Which bastard thing is pretending to pass on military orders? Someone, drag the herald out for me, and take it for thirty! ”

"No, I promised them that I would vouch for him if something went wrong. General, how about giving me a face? If it weren't for him, I would have really turned back to Chang'an. ”

"Hahahaha, Xu Changshi is righteous! The herald, in the face of Xu Changshi, gave today's herald a reward of ten taels of silver, and the official was promoted by one level. ”

After speaking, Lao Cheng grabbed Xu Jingzong's wrist, "Let's go, the long history is at the right time, my old Cheng Youwuwei is not ambiguous in fighting, but the staff and government affairs are a mess, and there is a problem that needs guidance from a master like you." ”
