Chapter 166: Money Makes Money Game

It's also unlucky to be taught in the chapter, and I met Cai Jing who has a particularly good idea, not that the methods that Cai Jing came up with are all serious methods, but Cai Jing's methods can work most of the time.

That's tangled.

I know that Cai Jing has no good intentions in his stomach, but if Zhang Zhu is moved by this guy, the people of Yingzhou will suffer.

After making up for it in a hurry, he secretly pulled Zhang Zhi and pleaded: "Renhe, you are different, you have a good future, Zhang Xiang is a court minister with great luck, Cai Jing's method is just a villain's move, there is no reason to let Zhang Xiang bear a huge infamy." ”

Chao Buzhi was afraid that Zhang Zhi would go back, and he really said that he had moved Zhang Dian.

If there is a civil rebellion in Yingzhou, according to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, of course Zhizhou will be eliminated.

It's not enough to go to prison and kill your head, but bad luck is certain. But who can guarantee that they can survive the civil unrest safely? Everyone knows that civil officials are not easy to mess with, but what if there are a few brainless people among the rioters?

How will it end?

Zhang Zhu comforted Chao Buzhi with a few words: "Don't worry, don't worry, although my father is in custody, don't you know what my father is?" ”

Chao Buzhi could only send Zhang Zhu away nervously.

Originally, Zhang Zhu was also going to go to several other state capitals, but when he encountered such a thing as Cai Jing, his itinerary changed. Went directly to Yizhou. After listening to his son's report, Zhang Dian muttered for a long time, but did not speak.

Zhang Zhu thought that the old man of his family was moved, and reminded him with a blank eye: "Father, what are you still looking forward to over there?" ”

"Yes! He's a real man. ”

Zhang Dian Huan Hai has been up and down for decades, and it is not wrong to say that he insisted on his original intention. He is still the arrogant, conceited, and talented Zhang, the only thing that has changed is his tolerance for political opponents, which has reached the limit. He has repeatedly told himself privately that once he is in power, he will send all his political enemies to hell.

Let them taste the great horror of being displaced, even in a different place.

It is indeed not easy for Su Shi to be praised by Zhang Dan.

Even if Zhang Dian changed, he didn't bother to use betrayal to frame people.

He likes to come openly and knock all the pride of the other party face to face. Conspiracy, he knows how to use it, but the conceited man will never choose to use intrigue to achieve his goals.

This is Chapter.

He is different from Su Shi and different from Cai Jing.

But from him, you can see the strong traces of the Great Song Doctor. After him, I am afraid it will be difficult to see such a scholar again. Of course, Da Song, after him, also stepped off the altar and began to breathe.

Although Zhang Dian clearly told Zhang Zhu that he would not choose Cai Jing's scheme, he would not send someone or write a letter to Cai Jing to stop, and even warned Cai Jing not to use conspiracy.

This made Zhang Zhu very embarrassed, in case Cai Jing really sent someone to say something, Su Shi would be in danger. It is likely that this simple-minded uncle will turn against his father Zhang Dian again.

But if you don't go.

He couldn't make sense in his heart.

After hesitating, Zhang Zhu still said to Zhang Dian: "Father, Uncle Shi still doesn't know anything about this, I need to tell him." ”

Zhang Dian said coldly: "Chao Buzhi is more anxious than you, won't he tell Su Shi?" Besides, what's the use of you going? Can you influence Cai Jing's approach? He is capable, but at the same time, he is much more daring than you think. Why do you think Wang Jiefu chose Cai Bian instead of Cai Jing? ”

"Is there a secret in this?" Zhang Zhu was curious, Wang Anshi chose a son-in-law, not to mention that Wang Anshi's identity was already a very good minister, and his vision would naturally be very high. And although the reputation of the bad minister is not good, he is still very accurate in looking at people. The reason why there are many villains around him is that he has no choice but to do so.

Everyone wants to use the righteous gentleman, but the righteous gentleman can't look down on him, what can be done?

Zhang Dian looked at the scenery outside the house for a long time, and said thoughtfully: "Cai Jing is a person who uses all kinds of means, but his talent is above his brother Cai Bian, but Jiefu said before that he uses villains, he uses obedient villains, disobedient and selfish villains, and he doesn't dare to use them." Cai Jing is an exception, but his peers are also a dangerous person that Jiefu can't avoid. Cai Jing dared to prepare to frame Wang Jue as a waiting system, and he was greedy for the dragon's work. It can be seen that its methods are vicious. ”

"Father, Cai Jing was once ready to frame the prime minister of the dynasty? How do you know? Zhang Zhu was shocked when he heard this, this viciousness, even Zhang Zhu had a kind of cold palpitations all over his body.

A small waiting system, looking noble, in the eyes of the important ministers of the court, is just a copyist official under the Shangshu Province.

is such a petty official in the court, who has no sense of existence at all, how dare to pull down the prime minister of the court?

Zhang Dian frowned slightly, as if he was disgusted by this past: "The impeachment of officials in my dynasty all started from the Imperial Historical Tower. Cai Jing united several people in the imperial history, and the impeachment documents were ready, but he didn't expect Wang Jue to die of illness in office, so he didn't do it. In Taichung, the eunuchs and teahouses of the imperial history are many of the eyeliner of the father. ”

Ahh

Seeing Zhang Zhu's stupid appearance, Zhang Dian suddenly became angry: "There is also a father's eyeliner in the palace, and when he is a member of the court, who doesn't have the means to listen to the news?" You are so stupid, once you become an official, won't you be betrayed and you won't know it? ”

"I think Uncle Shi is a good person, but he ......"

"If you have his ability to write articles and poems, you don't have to worry. But your articles are not as good as others, your intelligence is not as good as people, and you are naΓ―ve and stupid, do you think that being an official is to take care of the emperor's home? It's a big mistake, being an official is a game of a group of smart people, everyone frames each other together, attacks each other, and finally retires, which is the right way to work. How much of it is hidden, dark, and will be known? Su Shi treats people sincerely and has the style of an ancient gentleman, but you think that he can't see the sinister hearts of people, then you are wrong. He understands that he just doesn't bother to say it. ”

Zhang Duan sighed and said to Zhang: "I am also good for you, your intelligence is average, your literary style is average, your talent is even more shallow, in the officialdom, it is difficult to die well, it is better to be an idle person." ”

After being blown by the cold wind blown by the old man at home, Zhang Zhu left Yizhou like a frosted eggplant.

Zhang Dian didn't care, he was dormant, still hibernating.

Jumping out at this time is very unwise for him, and he can only achieve Cai Jing's plan. Zhang Dian knew that Cai Jing wanted to be greedy, but he didn't need it.

As long as he has the patience to wait for two years, it will naturally be the day when he recovers.

The emperor was in power, that is, when he was still in power.

Yingzhou.

Su Shi suddenly found out with a little sadness that his people did not buy the high-priced grain that Li Kui had made.

Six hundred wen and one stone, such a grain price, even Su Shi couldn't wait to kill two grain merchants to relieve his hatred. But when this price was made by his own apprentice, he was heartbroken and began to have a headache.

After the headache, I was a little confused.

The big households in Yingzhou controlled the rice merchants, and the rice merchants apparently ate nearly 100,000 stone grain stamps concocted by Li Kui in one bite.

Just a piece of paper, no one bought 600 wen at the beginning, and Li Kui was angry and raised the price to 650 wen and 1 stone.

But it was eaten by the merchant in one bite. Although the person who bought it was not a rice merchant, let alone a businessman, he was nothing more than a slave running errands, but Su Shi also understood where these food stamps went?

This made Su Shi hate and lament for the ignorant people. If they had been prepared, they would not have had to endure the malicious price increase of the rice merchants, and the price of rice has reached 700 wen a stone.

It's still March.

Spring ploughing has just begun, but it is also nearing the end.

Spring ploughing is a war for time, and for farmers, all the hopes of a year are placed on spring ploughing. Once spring ploughing is abandoned, at least sixty or seventy percent of the year's efforts will be in vain.

There are at least three months left before the summer harvest, and during these three months, Su Shi can't even imagine how the people will endure the high price of grain. But if the people had bought his high-priced grain before, most of the people would not have been affected by the fluctuation of food prices. Even Su Shi has seen the signs, and the scale of people's borrowing this year is higher than in previous years.

What made him even more angry was that he had prepared all the excessive rations of the people before the grain came down.

But the people saw him as a government that plundered the wealth of the people.

If it weren't for the general judgment that Xu Rang also tried his best to punish the big households in Yingzhou, I am afraid that the articles impeaching him would have been sent to the palace and placed on the desk of the Empress Dowager.

Outside the city of Yingzhou, there are endless green fertile fields. Su Shi, who was wearing a straw hat, sat on the ridge of the field against the sun, looking at the busy farmers in the distance. sighed, sentence after sentence, which made Gao Yu very irritable.

The ducks in the pond not far away quacked and annoyed.

As a last resort, Gao Yu could only use food to get Su Shi's attention, and pretended to be angry and said: "Annoying duck, I can't wait to eat its meat and boil its bones." ”

Su Shi looked at the ducks playing in the pond in confusion, pursed his lips, and muttered: "There is no meat to eat, and the soup is tasteless!" ”

If Su Shi had seen this spring-like scenery before, he would have written a poem, and then purchased two ducks from the duck catcher, hurried home, and asked Wang Chaoyun to make food for him.

But now, the scholar is so worried that he doesn't even have the mood to enjoy the food.

As a bachelor, Gao Yu suddenly felt a lot of pressure, who is a bachelor?

He is the Lord who sees someone eating a mouse in front of him, and he can't help but grab one to try it, and as long as the person who eats it shows a sense of intoxication with the deliciousness, he can't wait to eat it.

But now, the bachelor is forced by the big families in Yingzhou to not even have the mind to enjoy the food, how can this be good?

Su Shi was also irritable in his heart, supported his knees with both hands, stood up with great effort, wiped a handful of sweat on his forehead, and then instructed Gao Yu: "Go back to the yamen." ”

Gao Yu could only comfort Su Shi in his way: "Bachelor, don't worry too much. The infamy of the people is not directed at you, but the general sentence Xu Rang was scolded half to death by the people behind his back. ”

Su Shi sighed: "What's the difference between scolding him and scolding me?" ”

The car was still the same big cart, but it was pulled into a variegated horse, much brisker and bumpy.

On the contrary, it is not as comfortable as riding an ox cart.

Finally returned to the yamen, the hungry Su Shi went to the dining hall, but found that no one in the family was there, only the old wife Wang Runzhi was at home, after asking, the wife said gently: "They all went out, Li Kui couldn't stand copying Buddhist scriptures every day, and ran out whenever he had the opportunity." It was not dark, and I didn't dare to come back at all. ”

"Chaoyun took the little daughter of the Liu family to the silk village to see the fabric."

Su Shi felt that he was the head of the family and a little unambitious to study food all day long, but his stomach was rumbling, so he had to sit in the dining hall and wait for his wife to fix the food for him.

Besides, Li Kui has a few.

A swarm of people rushed out of the yamen and wandered the streets.

Take a look here, take a look there.

Suddenly, passing by a small alley, Li Kui heard someone who seemed to be trading food stamps.

Not all food stamps were sold to rice merchants.

A small part was also bought by wealthy families and merchants in Yingzhou City. These people didn't buy it to make money, just in case, or even out of curiosity.

The world of the rich is not well understood by the poor.

But the way for the rich to earn money is the most curious existence for the poor.

Li Kui stood still on the street and said to himself: "How did I hear that someone was selling food stamps? ”

Li Yun felt that Li Kui was a little suspicious, and looked around with wide eyes: "Where, where?" "Can be ...... right away He was suddenly stunned, the food stamp is not just a bill, but a voucher that can be directly exchanged for grain within the specified time. All the food stamps are from the state government, how can anyone sell them on the streets?

Fake!

Someone must be faking it!

It's not hard to guess this result.

He participated in the printing of all the food stamps. There are a large number of food stamps in front of him every day, and Li Yun has also been tempted, but unfortunately he has no chance to be greedy for ink! Of course, he didn't dare.

Some people are good people all their lives because they have a good heart.

There are also people who have been good people all their lives because they are timid.

No matter what, Li Yun couldn't stand that someone would dare to cut off the business of Teacher Hu's family, anyway, the food stamps definitely couldn't be considered Li Kui's. I have copied Buddhist scriptures for several days, and I have accumulated a stomach full of resentment, how can I bear it at this time.

Li Yun left a black shadow and rushed into the alley, and three or five adults were driven into a dead end by him like a chicken. A fist and foot went down, so frightened that the surrounding residents did not dare to open the door.

When Li Kui arrived at him, Li Yun was thinking of the words and angrily reprimanding the other party's mistakes, and his fists fell on people's bodies like raindrops.

Listening to the screams of several people, this kid looked intoxicated.

Li Kui waved his hand and said to Li Yun: "Come on, just have a good time, don't break the lawsuit." ”

"Uncle, we were wrong. But two masters, even if you want to kill someone, you should always let us know where you have offended, even if you die, let me wait to be a ghost! ”

The first man was lying on the ground with a dirty face, but he wanted to maintain the dignity of his identity, his body was twisted into a ball, and he clenched his fists awkwardly and questioned Li Kui.

Li Kui clasped his hands in front of his chest and snorted coldly: "What crime should you be guilty of selling food stamps issued by the government?" Did you know that printing food stamps privately is equivalent to robbing the treasury, which is a great crime? ”

"Wronged! We are all good citizens, how can we knowingly commit a crime? These food stamps are all issued by the government! Don't believe me? ”

Li Kui looked at the sun, carefully identified it for a while, and handed it to Li Yun, who also looked at it for a while before saying, "Second brother, it's the same as the real one." ”

Manly slammed his head on the ground and wailed, "O heaven! Your old man ......"

"Shut up! Why are you reselling food stamps, and can you still make money? Li Kui scolded.

After the man was stunned, he immediately looked at Li Kui with the expression of a fool: "If you don't make money, why are you reselling?" ”
