Chapter 142: Helper
Yingzhou Houya.
The moment Su Shi just moved in, Xu Rang was indeed very excited, and he thought that Su Shi was really determined to do a big job. Wipe out all the small and dry nights in Yingzhou. What he couldn't do, he could only hope for Su Shi.
But when he visited Su Shi excitedly, Xu Rang was disappointed again. There is no difference between Su Shi and his predecessor Zhizhou at all.
To be famous.
To be famous.
Or fame.
In the face of troublesome things, he looks left and right, and has no intention of trying to solve it at all.
Jia Daoquan and others were all under the noses of the state officials, but Su Shi, who was an official of the imperial court, was indifferent, but discussed with Xu Rang with great interest how to establish a free medical center in Yingzhou, which made Xu Rang, who was hot in his heart, feel like he was splashed from his head to his feet by a basin of ice water, and his heart was cold.
He was full of ......
Forget it, Baume & Mercier, it's Baume & Mercier.
They may have a lot of status and enough prestige. But their wisdom, especially the wisdom of the officials, is not at all great. The same is true for Su Shi, who can read almost everyone's minds. The reason why he was unlucky in the past was because he couldn't control his mouth.
When he met a Su Shi who could hide things, it was also Xu Rang's bad luck.
In fact, Su Shi can't control his mouth now.
It's just that he has changed from offending people everywhere to a complete foodie.
Foodie is not a disease, but a pursuit of good food.
In the garden of the back office of the state capital, Su Shi sat on the wooden railing of the cloister, looking up at a group of little guys on the opposite ridge, chattering for a morning, but he was not too tired, jumping back and forth on the ridge one by one, so happy.
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva water, Su Shi comforted himself: "Such a small thing must not be delicious!" ”
In Li Kui's eyes, Su Shi is definitely the top existence in the food industry.
Few people know how good Su Shi's recipes are, and the animals and plants he has eaten will make the poorest people of this era embarrassed.
Toads, rats, bats......
He has eaten them all, and he has a deep experience...... It's not tasty.
It is also the foodie boss at the top of the food chain who dares to talk about these small animals. Even those who do not believe in evil kill a few and put them in their mouths. Su Shi has done such things, and most of them are not very lucky, either they are unpalatable, or their cooking skills are worrisome. And the reason for the cooking is the main original. Because there is a consensus in the Chinese foodie industry, there are no ingredients that cannot be eaten, only unskilled cooks. In short, he is passionate about making all kinds of food, and he has rarely succeeded, and the experience of failure alone is an unspeakable catastrophe for anyone to recall.
Of course, every persistent foodie will not be unlucky all the time. Su Shi was also lucky, after he couldn't help but eat oysters at the beach, he was lucky, and he finally found a delicacy with endless aftertaste.
In Su Shi's recipe, there are two things that are not eaten: the big meat does not eat the dead, and the small meat does not eat flies.
Other than that, he couldn't help but go up and take a bite.
Su Shi stared at the house sparrow that was not easy to catch, and was a little slack.
He's not idle, he's ...... Well, he is indeed idle. The main thing is that there are no available people, at the beginning, Li Kui suggested that people be mobilized from the tea supervisor, and the tea supervisor in Yingzhou, surnamed Huang, is a eunuch who came out of the palace. will not get very close to the magistrate, if the Liu family is allowed to come forward, there is a high probability that Eunuch Huang will transfer manpower.
But Su Shi felt that it was inappropriate.
It's not that the eunuchs are not trustworthy, but the manpower of the tea supervisor is not much better than that of the officials.
If you want to patrol and maintain order, it is not difficult to say.
But if these people are allowed to guard the granary, which is like the root of Su Shi's life, I'm afraid it's really a bit embarrassing.
But fortunately, Li Kui has another choice, Liu Baosheng.
Liu Guiren's father, the Huaiyang army is Yu Hou, a military general of the fifth grade, and nearly two hundred personal guards and private troops under his command. When these people come to Yingzhou, it shouldn't be a big problem to guard the granary.
However, Liu Baosheng has no effective generals.
Now, Su Shi can only wait in the yamen, and the moment Liu Baosheng comes to Yingzhou, he will do it immediately. Before that, he could only live in seclusion, idle and pretend to be nothing.
As for whether Liu Baosheng will come?
There is no need to worry about this problem at all, the day of the auction in the snowflake salt business area is coming soon, which is a lot of money. In addition, the number of shipments in Yizhou is very large. The Daimyo Mansion and the Zhending Mansion already have a large number of fans. I have to say that the Cao family is really good at making money. An obscure consumable can open up the situation in a short period of time. Yizhou received a full 40,000 yuan in payment, which made Liu Baosheng, who had never felt wide in his life, feel excited to be developed.
Compared with a small place like Yizhou, Yingzhou's sales are more expected. In particular, Li Kuixin said that as long as the distribution rights of snowflake salt are auctioned, a large amount of funds can be returned. At least 100,000 or more. This made Liu Baosheng want to leave behind the urge of the family to come to Yingzhou.
In comparison, the Cao family's business is good, and the Wang family is far behind. But Li Kui believes that it is impossible to get the Wang family to give up the distribution right of snowflake salt. After all, when I saw the money, it was still a lot of money, even if the Wang family was rich, it would not be able to say no to the tens of thousands of earnings.
Li Kui walked into the courtyard, saw Su Shi a little stunned and couldn't lift his energy, followed Su Shi's gaze and looked up, and found a group of sparrows. Don't look small about this thing.
But when you eat it, it's called crispy.
Li Kui looked at the sparrows on the ridge of the roof and said quietly: "It would be nice if there was a net down." ”
"Can this be eaten?"
Su Shi has a good point, he never pretends in front of trust. The passion for delicious food flashed in his eyes made Li Kui feel afraid.
Li Kui said stiffly: "Fried, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, put on condiments, it has a different taste." ”
"I believe it!"
Su Shi has blind trust in Li Kui's pickiness, stewed chicken with mushrooms, lotus root pork ribs...... It refreshed his taste buds again and again. Since his little wife believed in Buddhism, Su Shi rarely had the opportunity to eat decent meat dishes, mainly because he didn't make it delicious, even if Wang Chaoyun finished cooking, he had to eat fasting and chanting Buddha for a while, and he couldn't bear it. As a result, Li Kui has become his biggest expectation for food.
Faced with the undisciplined reaction of the ancestor, Li Kui was helpless and yelled: "Gao Yu! ”
Oh, Gao Yu rushed to Li Kui at a trot, his eyes couldn't hide his nervousness, and asked, "Li Kui, are you going to do it?" Let me go, my brother's kung fu is not a problem. ”
Ahem......
Su Shi coughed twice on the side and reminded Gao Yu: "When encountering major events, you must be calm." ”
"Bachelor, I was wrong."
"Forget it, Li Kui just said that he wanted to eat sparrows, you see there are a lot of ...... on the roof" Li Kui was very hurt, he didn't have this mind at all, okay?
Gao Yu looked at Su Shi stupidly, he didn't believe Su Shi's words at all, why Li Kui wants to eat sparrows, it's true that you always want to eat them. However, compared with the oil residue rose flowers of the past few days, it is bitter and astringent, and it is still diarrheal after eating. Sparrows are at least a meat dish, but the problem is that he doesn't have the ability to catch them. Said helplessly: "Bachelor, if it's winter, it's easier." Use a colander to spread a stick and sprinkle with grains of rice. But now it's early spring, and this thing is not so easy to deceive. ”
Su Shi asked: "Really! ”
"Really!" Gao Yu was tired.
Li Kui suddenly interjected: "Haven't you ever thought about using money to buy it?" ”
"It's not for sale."
"Not really."
"Put an obituary at the gate of the city, and collect sparrows, one for three for the dead, and one for the living. Unified acquisition before evening. We buy, and as long as the price is attractive, naturally someone will sell. The advantage of having money is that most of the things that need to be done by oneself can be done by people for them. ”
"Will this work?"
"If you don't give it a try, how do you know it won't work? Besides, someone has to go out to find out the news, and it's not a way to hide in the yamen all the time. Li Kui instructed Gao Yu: "Although children do not have the opportunity to contact confidential matters, children who run around all day long are likely to see something that has been neglected. Maybe there's a clue.
However, Gao Yu didn't hear any news, but someone who was interested heard a lot of rumors.
The dignified bachelor actually has a soft spot for eating house sparrows, and he didn't dare to eat at home, so he secretly found a family to cook outside. According to Li Kui's approach, it has a different flavor.
Why not eat it at home?
Aunt Wang Chaoyun believes in Buddhism, if it is pork and mutton, it will be fine, but if a large pot of small creatures is placed in the dining hall, this sin will be great.
"Big brother, this Master Su doesn't seem to be very reliable!" It was not only Sun Zhuo who had this thought, but even Jia Daoquan muttered in his heart after he got the news.
Being a bachelor puts a lot of pressure on him.
And he doesn't have a too tough backstage, if he wants to deal with Su Shi, he has to use unsavory tricks. But since it's an unsightly trick, you can't show it openly. And it is mainly passive.
Jia Daoquan pinched the mustache on his chin, and pondered in his mind: "Could it be that he is too careful?" ”
But the more Su Shi didn't react, the more worried he became, according to ordinary means, at this time, Su Shi should send someone to control the other two Yicang, even if Su Shi had no one available. But there are people who are willing to be the pioneers of this urgency, and Xu Rang is one of them.
Especially he doesn't think that Su Shi will pretend to be confused, according to the wind comments, Su Shi may rarely stand on the right side in the political arena, but Su Shi has no idea of being a confused official.
From Hangzhou to Dengzhou, from Dengzhou to Yingzhou.
The canals and West Lake outside the city are being dredged, and it is obvious that Su Shi has a mind to do things.
Since this is the case, he will not sit back and watch him harvest the last wave of land safely and steadily, and then react. This is not in line with Su Shi's style of doing things. He is a man of ups and downs, and he has never been afraid of anything. Even when Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were in power, he wouldn't bear what he couldn't get used to.
Thinking about it, I was in a state of confusion, so I could only continue to take one step at a time: "In a few days, Taishou will prepare a volunteer medical hall and name it Anle Fang." It is indispensable for the wealthy families in the city to donate a sum of money. I'll wait too. ”
"What if Master Su detains me and others at the venue?"
"In front of everyone's eyes, we are also thinking about the people of Yingzhou, he will not do such a thing as Meng Lang. and his reputation is damaged. ”
When Jia Daoquan thought of this, he suddenly had an idea in his heart. When the time comes, you can test it and you can get a more accurate judgment. But Sun Zhuo was a little reluctant, and complained: "But big brother, we don't have much money in our hands. Just waiting to do big things. If you donate it, wouldn't it be a bad thing? ”
They didn't expect anything from anything, Su Shi didn't want to control the two Yicang. It's that he has no one to send at all. In his eyes, Gao Yu is alone, and it is also a situation where two fists are invincible to four hands, so it is better to wait.
As soon as he came, he had already written to the Changping Division, and on the grounds that Yingzhou had been flooded for many years and the grain storage was insufficient, he asked the Changping Division to allocate a sum of grain to Yingzhou to make preparations as soon as possible.
came, and he also asked for help.
The object of the call for help was Zhangduan.
Su Shi felt thorny problems, especially in government affairs, but Zhang Dian has always given people the feeling that it is extremely easy to deal with. First, Zhang Dian has strong ability, government affairs do not need to be overnight in his hands, and will be approved immediately, efficiency and accuracy are incomparable to the capable ministers of the current dynasty, and there is naturally no big problem in seeking advice from Zhang Dan; The second is that Zhang Dian hated the occupation of land very much, and Jia Daoquan was obviously using the forcible seizure to occupy the land of hundreds of people.
But don't forget, Jia Daoquan is an official, and his ancestors are also officials, and he enjoys the exemption of agricultural taxes and forced labor, on the surface, this is an insignificant little person, but in fact, Jia Daoquan is a microcosm of the old party.
His various methods echoed the old party's greed for land and sucked blood from the Great Song court and the common people.
Su Shi thought that when Zhang Dian saw the letter he wrote, he would definitely be impulsive, thinking that it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Help, not only to help, but also to take the initiative to help.
Su Shi's move is tantamount to tearing off the most beautiful fig leaf of the old party, and sending the opportunity to do it to Zhang Dian's hands, according to Su Shi's understanding of Zhang Dian, he will definitely not let it go.
In fact, a few days Qian Zhangdun made a decision, he sent his son to Liu Baosheng's team to Yingzhou, on the surface he was the account manager of the Liu family, but in fact he came to understand the situation, he could not leave Yizhou, he could only send his son here. can do this, obviously Zhang Dan's hatred for Su Shi no longer exists.
As for Zhang Xianggong, he wants to follow his son to Yingzhou with Liu Baosheng?
Liu Baosheng didn't dare to resist at all.
He has a very strong psychological shadow on Zhang Dan, twice, twice, and quietly kills people with his own hands in front of his old man. Even Liu Baosheng believes that every time Zhang Xianggong kills someone, he is much more important than him. And there is no reason, if there must be a reason, it is not used to it!
The group sat on three big boats and came to Yingzhou from Yizhou.
Compared with the cold climate of Yizhou, Yingzhou on the edge of the Huai River is much warmer.
Gao Yu accompanied Li Kui to wait at the dock, and after seeing several large ships anchor from a distance, they were pulled slowly close to the dock by the slender man.
Before the boat could stop steadily, someone carried a big axe and jumped from the goofs to the dock, like a god descending from the sky, with bright armor and majestic style, Li Kui didn't want to deal with him when he saw this guy.
"Brother Xian, so-and-so is here! Oh ha......"
