Chapter 156: Slapped in the face

Tang Liang, who had high hopes, Tang Zhixian, left the state government with an obviously just-written obituary on his face full of grief and indignation, and he couldn't think of what effect the piece of paper in his hand would have on him to calm down the people's grievances.

But he tested Su Shi's attitude, he wanted everything else to say, he wanted food, not to give it!

Not only do they not give, but they also have to suppress it at the source.

For more than 100 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been more and more large households in various places. In the face of the popular uprising, they can't even protect themselves, they can only become fat sheep to be killed. The main reason is that the big households in the Great Song Dynasty do not have much sense of crisis. There is some ability to bully the people, but in the face of the angry mob, even if these people are the targets of their previous bullying, there is nothing they can do.

To sum up, these people are bullying the weak and fearing the hard.

Check the taxes!

This is the most effective way for the government to toss the big households.

Anyway, there are bones in the eggs, and there are ways to deal with these troublemakers.

Besides, Li Kui also has a reason, and the reason is very good: "Master, you don't have to worry. Today's big families can't make trouble. Although it is troublesome to grow grain, it may be troublesome for the people who do not have land. But if an ordinary family has 30 acres of fertile land, there is a little surplus grain in hand. As long as this part of the grain is put into the market, the idea of the big families trying to force the palace will end in nothing. ”

"That's what I said." Su Shi also nodded in agreement, and then said worriedly: "Renjie, can this food stamp really be sold?" ”

"Yes, why can't you sell it?" Li Kui patted his chest and promised: "It won't be long before the state capital's treasury is full of opportunities." ”

Qianshan?

Su Shi was happy, he felt that it was time for him to give the squire on the ground in Yingzhou a little bit to take a look.

But before that, he had to write for help.

Write to Zhangton!

Write to Cai Bian!

Write to Cai Jing!

Write to Zhang Shangying!

And it has to be written by handwriting.

Although, except for Zhang Dian, everyone else is his junior. But there is no way, Su Shi is also forced to be urgent, and he is a seriously ill patient who rushes to the doctor. Don't look at Su Shi's personality, he is also open-minded, and he regards money like dung on weekdays. But if he really wants to deal with the problem of money, he panicked and didn't know how to start at all.

If he didn't have any money, he would never panic, and he didn't live a poor life. However, the place where he governs is held hostage by big families, and he must not be able to bear it.

Moreover, the biggest disadvantage of not having a concept of money is that he feels that he is not enough to prepare.

This caused Su Shi to hide in the state government and write letters to his colleagues, except for those he particularly despised who took the initiative to block them, such as Zhao Tingzhi and others, he wrote letters for help. Speaking of Zhao Tingzhi, he is considered a great Song clan, he is not very famous, but his son, no, to be exact, his daughter-in-law is famous, and his daughter-in-law is the famous Li Qingzhao in later generations. Today, it's still a Lori.

The objects that Su Shi chose to write to ask for help were all governors and prefects.

Cai Jing, the governor of Yangzhou, he will wait until Su Shi goes to Yangzhou to be the governor before he will go to Zhejiang as a transit envoy, and at present, he is still the governor of Yangzhou. Cai Bian, Governor of Jiangning Prefecture. Zhang Shangying is among the few righteous gentlemen among the reformers. Of course, he is also a fierce man who can persuade Zhang Dian. When Zhang Dian led his troops to quell the rebellion in the southwest, this petty official, who was still not in the stream, directly refuted Zhang Dan's behavior of bullying the magistrates.

I have to say, it's magical.

The moment some people received Su Shi's letter, they were completely unclear.

Why did Su Shi write to me?

Are we cooked?

Is he drunk?

Anyway, Jingxi Road, Huainan Road, Zhejiang Road...... A large number of officials received Su Shi's distress letters.

Borrow money, borrow food, anyway, no matter how much or less, he wants it.

It gives people the feeling that Su Shi is poor and crazy and broken jars. Of course, what is deeper is that it makes people feel suspicious, will this place in Yingzhou still make Su Shi uncomfortable? The big local households deliberately set a trap on Zhizhou Su Shi? Forced honest people to be anxious?

Everyone knows that a high-ranking official at the bachelor level will not stay long in the local area at all. In a year or two, the quasi-moving place. Wouldn't everyone be happy to welcome people in and send them away, why do you have to stumble over the dignified three-grade officials?

Anyway, there are all kinds of speculations.

And in Yingzhou, the issuance of food stamps, which has been prepared for several days, is finally about to begin.

Early in the morning, Li Kui stood in front of a group of unmotivated state government secretaries and officials, and spoke arrogantly. Warning everyone that they are not allowed to be greedy for ink, and once discovered, they will be severely punished.

Li Yun, who was standing opposite him angrily, rolled his eyes one after another, if Li Yun hadn't thought that he was not Li Kui's opponent, he would have instigated people to run away a long time ago. Where is there any desire to waste time with Li Kui.

Of course, Li Yun was also very excited.

He finally doesn't have to read in the morning, God doesn't know who stipulates it, he has to endorse it after reading in the morning,, can the master remember, do you still need to be bullied by Li Kui?

When it was over, Li Kui waved his hand, like a general in front of the battle, and shouted: "Follow the second brother to have meat to eat!" ”

According to Li Kui's thoughts, the issuance of bills must be commissioned!

However, such a very constructive suggestion was rejected by Su Shi. Using the people's money to let the officials of the government collect money, such a vicious thing, he really can't do it. Li Kui can only take care of some of them from the food.

Hula, a large group of people surrounded Li Yun and rushed out from the yamen, and Li Yun was holding the box where the food stamps were stored, and in the box were food stamps worth 10,000 yuan.

"Success or failure depends on the night." Su Guo didn't have Li Kui's self-confidence, he always felt that Li Kui's idea was a bit whimsical, mainly because of the food stamps, which was unheard of. The first time I appeared on the market, I didn't know if it would be accepted.

But Li Kui was full of confidence, so Su Guo couldn't bear to splash cold water.

The day passed quickly.

When I went out in the morning, at least the officials in the yamen looked quite energetic, but when I came back in the afternoon, they looked blank and drooped their shoulders in a dejected manner.

"What's going on!"

Li Kui grabbed Li Yun, and was faintly worried in his heart.

Li Yun glared at Li Kui in return, and Li Kui was so angry that he couldn't wait to beat him up to relieve his hatred. Especially the corners of Li Yun's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer: "Who said that this period of grain will be robbed by the people as if they don't want money." ”

"Who said that the people of Yingzhou are suffering from the pit of grain prices, and they will inevitably buy it in a big way."

"At the very least, I can also send back most of the 200,000 pieces of silver money allocated from the treasury!"

……

Li Kui listened to Li Yun's cynicism, and said angrily: "Is your kid itchy skin?" ”

Unexpectedly, Li Yun's courage has also risen, since Chang Ping battle, Li Yun found that he was very strong, so strong that he was almost unreasonable, of course, Li Kui was the heavenly reason of his fate.

As for Li Kui, Li Yun can see that Li Kui's guy can't be inferred according to common sense at all, and the frequency of cleaning up himself is nowhere to be found. The reason is one, no matter if he does it well or badly, when Li Kui wants to beat people, he doesn't ask the reason at all. Of course, if you deliberately talk about other things, the probability of being beaten will be much greater. But Li Yun also saw it, it's a big deal to be beaten, anyway, he has to be beaten if he is good, how wronged!

It's better to make Li Kui half angry and fight back, at least Li Yun can balance a lot in his heart.

"Don't talk about cool words, you just touch your heart and ask yourself, is there anyone in the world who you don't bully?" Looking at Li Yun who was holding his neck, Li Kui touched his nose and thought about it, and really held back a sentence: "My woman doesn't fight!" ”

Li Yun knew that it would be like this, Li Kui didn't beat women, but the child wouldn't let it go, it was too shameless.

Are you still a master?

Li Yun now also knows Li Kui's force value, which is much higher than him. Li Yun now feels that he is a master, and there is no reason why Li Kui is a mediocre person.

Gao Yu followed, and when he entered the courtyard, he found that Li Kui and Li Yun were choking again, and hurriedly came over and stood in the middle.

"Renjie, although it can't be sold today, the people seem to be very resistant to the appearance of food stamps, and even think that the government is taking advantage of the people by force." Gao Yu said with a bitter face.

Originally, he had high hopes for food stamps, but he was hit hard by the first day of sale.

Li Kui glared and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Li Yun jumped up and said eagerly: "What else can it mean?" The people thought that it was too expensive for us to sell 600 wen and 1 stone of future grain, and there were only 30 wen and 1 bucket in the rice shop, and the grain for 1 stone was only 300 wen. We sold it twice as much, do you say someone buys it? ”

"You haven't explained that this is the grain that can only be collected next month, not the current price?"

Li Kui believes that there must be a misunderstanding.

It is not the first year that the people of Yingzhou have encountered a situation where food prices have skyrocketed before the summer grain comes down. It stands to reason that food stamps should be rushed, so why is no one caring?

Gao Yu persuaded: "Renjie, you don't have to worry, I thought this was just starting to sell, and not many people knew about it." Maybe it should be sold in a few days. ”

"The question is, if we can't make up the money for the purchase of grain, will it make the ancestor lose his trust?" Li Yun saw Li Kui being slapped in the face, and he was so excited that he was a little selfless.

What else can Li Kui say?

It will only depend on tomorrow.

The next day, the situation was the same, a dozen people, four distribution points, sold more than a dozen grain stamps, a total of more than a dozen stone of grain.

You know, they printed a total of nearly 60,000 stone just for the food stamps. The money spent is also hundreds.

At this rate, you won't be able to buy it in ten years!

Li Kui, who was hiding in the state government, couldn't sit still for anything, and he pondered that he wanted to go to Fang City to take a look and visit the first-hand news. As for Li Yun?

This goods is only left when he raises the bar with him, and he is full of energy, in essence, it belongs to a waste.

Why did he go out in person, the main reason was that Li Kui was stimulated. When I went to the thatched house yesterday night, I heard someone muttering: "It's just a bull, it's not going to happen." ”

Listening to Zhang Zhu's voice, Li Kui angrily threw stones into the dung pit and splashed him. Li Kui, who was angry, felt that there must be something wrong with the link, and decided to go to find out the news in person.

If you want to find out useful information, it is impossible to go out in a grand manner, and you need to disguise it. But Li Kui doesn't know how to dress up.

I asked Gao Yu to discuss, but I didn't expect Gao Yu to be unreliable, and after giving Li Kui a bamboo pole and a broken bowl, he dropped a sentence: "Let Huazi know, right?" ”

Li Kui was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, and snorted angrily: "Can't I pretend to be a serious person?" ”

Gao Yu sighed: "You are so easy to recognize!" There's no way around it, if you walk down the street now, who wouldn't know you're a disciple? ”
