"Brother Xu, what do you think about this matter?"

Although there is no formal resignation, everyone knows it.

At this time, Xu Da is the number one military leader in Yanjing City.

And Liu Song is the number one in charge of internal affairs.

Don't look at Liu Song's real position now, it's not very high.

Don't forget, he has been presiding over the public trial meeting for the past few days.

The number of officials who were personally sentenced by him to have their heads cut off is considerable.

Even those officials who didn't commit a crime now feel trembling when they see Liu Song.

Although he doesn't do bad things in his life, he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

In this era, there are really many officials who can clean themselves, and they are not really afraid of Liu Song.

But invisibly, Liu Song's reputation in Yanjing is already a bit like the sky, and he has no taste for me.

Liu Song and Xu Da are both literate and martial, plus Zhu Han's money bag, and they have completely controlled Yanjing City.

"So what else is there to say?" Xu Da didn't hesitate for a moment: "Hurry up and find a way to rescue the disaster."

Liu Song frowned and said, "The disaster relief official naturally agreed. But what shall we do to save it?"

"The dual-use degree of the Yamen and the land and silver here in Yanjing are all allocated by the Heavenly Imperial Court."

"All the taels of silver are coming out again. If you misappropriate it at will, I'm afraid there will be problems."

Xu Da raised his eyebrows: "Liu Song, what do you mean by this? Is a little silver more important than the lives of the people?"

Xu Da is a veteran of a hundred battles, and when he starts to get angry, he naturally has a bad aura that can grace the iron horse.

Even Zhu Han, standing in front of Xu Da at this time, felt a heartbeat.

Liu Song was not afraid at all, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

"General Xu, this official has never said that you can't help the disaster."

"It's just that this disaster relief also has to pay attention to the methods and methods."

"It can't be saved by the people of Datong, but it will affect the people of Yanjing, right?"

Zhu Han was very emotional, Liu Song entered the state very quickly.

It's only been a long time since I came to Yanjing, and when I speak, I began to think of ourselves as us.

It's really the spirit of a parent.

Xu Da said angrily, "No matter how good the people of Yanjing are, they can at least survive."

"But the people of Datong, if the court doesn't care about them, they really won't be able to live."

"Who is light and who is heavy, can't you tell Liu Song apart?"

Liu Song did not show weakness: "This official has never said that the people of Yanjing are more important than the people of Datong."

"But General Xu, the people of Yanjing are also the people of my Ming Dynasty."

"If you can't arrange the affairs of Yanjing, once you make any trouble, it will also cause chaos."

"In order to avoid this from happening, before the disaster is struck, we must deal with the affairs of Yanjing."

"Lest there be trouble on both sides, and neither side can handle it well. Instead, it puts the court in a passive state."

Listening to Liu Song's explanation, Xu Da realized that he was not thinking about it.

Just thinking about how to go to the disaster relief in the first place, but didn't take into account the situation in Yanjing.

The current Yanjing looks peaceful on the surface.

However, in reality, there are also many crises.

After this public trial, nearly 100 officials were directly cut down.

Among them, there are many *** like the six books.

Thousands of people have been directly implicated.

In order to reduce the killings, Zhu Han did not involve the families of those corrupt officials in this public trial.

As long as they are not directly involved in their affairs, at most they will confiscate their illegal gains.

This also led to the emptiness of Yanjing officialdom, and some of the original clan forces, right

In Yanjing, it can also cause a lot of impact.

The reason why Xu Da is here is to suppress the careful thinking of these people in private.

Now, if full-scale relief begins, the Black Cavalry will definitely be mobilized.

When the time comes, if someone has a heart to take the opportunity to make trouble......

It will definitely cause a huge disaster.

After understanding the key to this, Xu Da's old face couldn't help but turn red.

"Even if what you say makes sense, there is an urgent 100,000 in Datong right now. We have to move slowly, and we don't know how many people are starving to death."

Looking at Xu Da's appearance, he knew that in fact, he had been persuaded by Liu Song, but he couldn't get over his face and didn't want to admit it directly.

Liu Song is not targeting Xu Da.

After explaining the crux of the problem, he immediately hugged his fist at Zhu Han and said, "Please rest assured, the lower officials will now lightly tap the balance of all the yamen in the Yanjing Imperial Court."

"Except for the money necessary to keep the yamen running, all of them will be used for disaster relief."

After thinking about it, Liu Song said again, "Lord Wang, if you can...... Xia Guan thought, can you use it first, Ying Tianfu allocated it to Yanjing, and use it to build the new capital of the silver two to relieve the disaster?"

Zhu Han looked at Liu Song with a smile: "Master Liu thinks that this silver tael can be easily used?"

In response to Zhu Han's questioning, Liu Song just shook his head suddenly: "The construction of the national capital is related to the national capital of my Ming Dynasty, and this silver, of course, cannot be easily diverted for other purposes."

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Liu Song also suddenly discovered the benefits of giving the project to those businessmen.

That is, the imperial court hardly needs to invest manpower and material resources to manage these projects.

As long as the supervisors are left behind, the acceptance is carried out according to the standards.

If this had been the case, these projects might have to be stopped.

The imperial court bought grain on a large scale, which also led to the price of grain rising three times a day.

In the morning, a stone of grain was less than a tael of silver, but in the evening it had risen to a tael or two cents.

Although the news of the drought in Datong has not yet fully spread.

However, many businessmen with sharp noses have already smelled a different smell from the actions of the imperial court.

Liu's grain bank, the big shopkeeper Liu Ping'an is keeping accounts.

A richly dressed young man next to him asked, "Third Uncle, is there really no problem with us raising the price now?" The imperial court bought grain on a large scale? Why don't we just lower the price a little so that we can handle a batch of stale grain?"

Liu Ping'an glared at Liu Ye with a smile: "What do you kid know?"

"It's because the imperial court collects grain on a large scale that this situation is wrong."

Liu Ye was puzzled: "Third uncle, it's just collecting grain, the imperial court collects grain every year, what's wrong with this?"

"Stupid!" Liu Ping'an was not angry. This nephew of mine is good at everything, but he is too honest.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

Experience can be taught slowly, and after a long time, it will come back.

But the temperament and personality are easy to change.

Honest people, it's more reassuring to use.

"Think about it, when does the imperial court usually collect grain?"

Liu Ye frowned and thought, "It's usually used to replenish the official warehouse after the autumn harvest, or the army goes out on an expedition or something, right?"

Liu Ping'an nodded: "That's the problem."

"It's not the autumn harvest season, and we haven't heard of any troop movements in the north, why does the court suddenly have to collect grain?"

"This ......" Liu Ye hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Third Uncle, do you mean that some places have been affected by disasters, and the imperial court is purchasing grain to prepare for disaster relief?"

Liu Ping'an looked relieved, his nephew finally didn't get home.

Although there is no news yet.

However, the purchase of grain by the imperial court cannot be hidden from people at all.

Through the actions of the imperial court, it is not so difficult to analyze the purpose of the imperial court.

Liu Ye was a little uncomfortable when he heard this: "Third uncle, aren't we ......?"

Finally, he was still a little sensible, and he didn't say the words robbery in person.

Liu Ping'an naturally understood his nephew's thoughts, which was not surprising.

Young people always have an inexplicable heart of justice.

I think when he first took over the business, he was similar to Liu Ye.

I also feel that some businesses are not very benevolent, and I am a little resistant from the bottom of my heart.

But as long as you do it for a long time, you will gradually get used to it.

Not a hassle.

"Uncle understands, you kid doesn't think it's good to make money from the people in the disaster area."

"But this money, we don't make it, some people earn it."

"We're businessmen, and most of the time we just think about whether we make money or not. But sometimes be careful not to offend the wrath of the people."

"If everyone raises the price, only our family will not raise the price. Others may not say anything."

"But in my heart, I will make a hard record for us."

"In the future, it will be necessary to target us, both openly and secretly."

Liu Ye was suddenly a little unconvinced: "But third uncle, isn't it all about doing business by your own ability? We don't want to make money and sell it at a low price, what does it have to do with them?"

Liu Ping'an sighed helplessly: "If it's really that simple, then it's good

。」

"You kid, think about it, our prices are cheap, and the imperial court has purchased some from us. But when I got to them, I found that they had raised the price."

"So, are the people of the court willing to be the culprit of this injustice, or do they want to lower the price?"

"I used to be able to earn two more cents, but now I am making one penny less......

"They won't count this account on the head of the court, but only on us."

"Because we didn't raise the price, they were suppressed by the imperial court, do you think they can feel comfortable?"

Liu Ye understood the reason, but he just felt uncomfortable, and said indignantly: "These people, why are they so unreasonable?"

Liu Ping'an smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In the business field, where is there any reason to talk about?"

After that, Liu Ye thought of something again, and asked a little nervously, "But third uncle, what should we do if we suddenly raise the price, and the court will investigate it?"

Liu Ping'an smiled slightly and said, "Let's pursue it, if the imperial court really makes any announcement, let me suppress the price of grain, and then we will lower the price."

"You remember, our Liu family is definitely not the first bird."

"If someone else raises the price, we will follow the price."

"But remember, we should never raise the price of the fastest one, and we should never be the one with the highest price."

"In short, it's not high, it's not low, it's not enough. In this case, even if the court investigates it, there are those tall men who have nothing to do with us."

Liu Ping'an is talking like a river, giving a lesson to his nephew.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Liu Ping'an stopped a little unsatisfied.

When the next person came in, he looked a little flustered.

"Grandpa, it's not good, the people of Jinyiwei are invited."

"What?" Hearing the words of the next person, Liu Ping'an's legs were weak and he almost didn't fall to the ground.

Fortunately, his nephew Liu Ye was next to him and helped him in time.

Liu Ping'an was a little dumbfounded, grabbed Liu Ye's hand, swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty, "Jinyiwei's people are coming...... What are you doing here?"

On Yanjing's side, Jinyiwei is now as famous as he is.

After all, the evidence of the crimes of the corrupt officials who were cut off not long ago was collected by Jinyiwei.

Ordinary people are not afraid, but businessmen are very afraid of Jinyiwei.

In this era, it is really difficult for a few businessmen to dare to say that they are completely clean.
