"The people of Liangzhou don't go to the king, and the people of Liangzhou don't know the king, what should they do?" Li Huai asked behind Ge Liang.

When Ge Liang heard the voice behind him, he didn't turn around, lowered his head forward, and said two words, "Recruitment!" ”

"What do you mean by being virtuous?" Li Huai continued to ask.

"Loyalty, cherishing the people, benevolence, bravery, and knowledge." Ge Liang replied respectfully.

"Do you want this king to open a mansion?" Li Huai asked.

Ge Liang still faced forward, bowed his head and said: "There is no shortage of people of insight in the world, there is no way out, if the prince opens a mansion, talents will gather!" ”

Li Huai thought for a while, and then asked, "What about not opening the mansion?" ”

"Virtuous people come but cannot enter, wandering will disperse!" Ge Liang replied.

Li Huai looked at him very seriously for a few seconds, making sure that it wasn't because he was turned away twice, he was spitting bitterness here.

"Then how do you gather talents?"

"Punishment does not avoid ministers, and rewards do not spare the husband!" Ge Liang replied.

Li Huai summed up one word, "Gong!" ”

Ge Liang nodded, "Only 'Gong' can gather virtuous." ”

"What else?" Li Huai continued to ask.

Ge Liang shook his head, "It's gone." ”

Gone?

Li Huai was a little surprised, "Those of you who read the books of sages don't all pay attention to benevolence, virtue, ethics or something, don't you need this king to have these?" ”

"That's what the Confucian scholars say."

"You're not a Confucian scholar?"

"It's not."

"What about you?"

Ge Liang couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes were shining, he was very confident, and said: "The minister has his own faction, and he prides himself on 'plotting'!" ”

"Plot! Why? Li Huai asked puzzled.

"The worries of the king, the safety of the king, and the prosperity of the king!" When Ge Liang said these words, his whole body seemed to be radiating light.

Arrogant ...... Counselors!

Li Huai paced to the front, and as soon as he sat down at the desk, he saw an official seal on the table.

Jiuyuan County Order Seal.

"You're here to resign?"

That's why I appreciate him a little, he doesn't do it anymore, so it's a big deal, there's a fart.

Ge Liang hurriedly shook his head, "No, the minister is here to ask for sin." ”

"What is the sin?"

Ge Liang told Li Huai about what he had done during the more than a month he had been in Taiyuan.

After listening to this, Li Huai felt that he had come to ask for credit.

First of all, after Ge Liang learned that Jiuyuan was short of growing grain, the first thing he did was to start collecting surplus grain.

Not much.

Then, after spreading rumors of grain shortage to Jiuyuan in Guanzhong, he began to release grain in batches immediately.

It was impossible for everyone to get the little surplus food he collected, and a tenth of it was barely enough.

So, he started lazy politics!

The grain is only released once the next day, and each time it is only put for half a day, and it has to go through very complicated procedures.

It is not enough to just rely on the grain stamps, you must first go to the local pavilion chief or the township head to notarize, open the slips, and then apply to the yamen, and only after getting the bills can you exchange the grain.

And so it goes.

The people are not familiar with the process, and it takes several trips to exchange for grain, so not many people can really exchange food.

However, it is true that food has been out and about.

The people will not suspect that there is no food in the granary, and they all want to go through the procedures quickly, so that they can get the grain quickly.

This easily dragged on for more than ten days.

The surplus is depleted.

More than ninety percent of people still don't get food.

Ge Liang began to engage in new tricks again, deliberately raising the price of grain, and the price of grain rose, and the value of grain stamps also increased.

Up one article today, three articles tomorrow......

Growing food stamps suddenly became an appreciating product, and many people saw the benefits in it.

The people were reluctant to do anything.

The merchants frantically bought grain stamps, and of course, some of them were sent out by Ge Liang.

used the money that Li Huai had scavenged.

It's also the equivalent of putting money back into the market.

In this way, the grain stamps and silver form a trading circle, and the price of grain continues to rise, and the two are constantly exchanged with each other.

And because of the increase in grain prices, the people were carried away by profits, and once again sold their grain in exchange for high profits.

There is grain in the market again.

This dragged on for more than ten days.

However, with inflated food prices and shortages, this triangular deal is not stable and belongs to the bubble economy.

As the price of grain rose to its peak, the people made ten times as much money as they bought half of the grain at the same price.

The bubble burst.

Ge Liang immediately began to suppress the price of grain, closed the city gates, and used the lowest price to scavenge the surplus grain in the market.

Then, the grain is distributed with the grain stamps.

At this time, the grain stamps that the merchants bought at a high price could only be exchanged for cheap grain, and they were definitely not willing to sell them easily.

There weren't many people who came to exchange it for food.

The grain depot has always maintained a tenth of the grain.

In time.

The people began to be anxious, and they had neither stamps nor grain in their hands, but only silver.

However, there was no food in the market, only the government, and this began to make a fuss.

But it's not because of food shortages.

They just want the government to open granaries, so that the people who don't have food stamps can buy grain for money.

It's not very intense.

Ge Liang knew that there was not enough food in the good warehouse, and of course it was impossible to open the granary, so more and more people gathered outside the city.

In the end, it was the scene that Li Huai saw when he came back.

Li Huai suspected that if he came back a month late, Ge Liangdu would be able to continue to drag on, this trick was really high.

But it's also really poisonous!

Li Huai was a little puzzled, "Since almost all the grain stamps in the hands of the people have been sold, who redeemed the grain I pulled back?" ”

"Most of them are subordinate." Ge Liang replied.

Li Huai needed an explanation.

"The minister's behavior is completely helpless, which makes the people earn too much profit in the middle, and the minister needs to use high-priced grain to take back their interests a little." Ge Liang explained.

Li Huai raised his eyebrows, "This money was originally kept by this king for the people, isn't it good to give it to them?" ”

"Lord Wang, it's not a good thing to let the people earn high profits too easily." Ge Liang said pointedly.

Li Huai thought about his words secretly, and couldn't help nodding, "What you said does make sense." ”

Liangzhou is too poor now, and it is not yet time to pay benefits, and now, it still has to rely on the tireless labor of the poor people.

Li Huai laughed, "This king has also become a capitalist of all evils!" ”

"Lord Wang, what did you say?" Ge Liang really didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing."

Li Huai didn't explain to him, but said: "This matter will be handed over to you, this king has only one request, the people can have enough food." ”

Ge Liang nodded, "Don't worry, the prince brought back an extra thousand stones of grain, and the ministers only need to put away the bran-rich food, and the people can only spend money to buy grain to eat. ”

Li Huai also nodded, this is a good note, just enough to make the people eat better, and suddenly found that something was wrong.

"You said a thousand more stones? What's going on? ”

"Lord Wang, didn't you bring back three thousand stones?" Ge Liang also wondered, thinking that the prince was afraid of lack of food, so he deliberately purchased an extra thousand stones.

"This king is obviously only ...... I know. Li Huai slapped his thigh, this extra thousand stones was given by Yang Lingyun.

The Great Wall Army did not belong to the locality, it was a regular imperial army, and their logistics and supply were directly responsible for the Ministry of War.

Even if the people of Liangzhou starved to death, the Great Wall Army would have food to eat, and they would generally store food for three months.

It's not wartime, and the front line isn't tight.

A thousand stone is nothing.

But.

Li Huai owed Yang Lingyun a favor, she must have known it, and it was deliberate.

So what does she want to give her back?

Pit!

Li Huai's gaze fell back on the seal of Jiuyuan County, and what Ge Liang did was a great achievement for Li Huai.

If it weren't for his poison scheme, the people of Jiuyuan would have rioted.

However, he has also become a heinous dumb official in the hearts of the people, and the county order is a parent official, and he can't get along with the people, so he can't be a county order.

"What do you want?" Li Huai asked directly.

"The minister doesn't ask for an official, he just wants to wait for the prince," Ge Liang replied with a bowed head.

This means that he wants to be a close minister who stays by Li Huai's side like Lou Xiaowan.

It doesn't matter how big or small the official position is.

Li Huai thought for a while and asked a question outside the topic, "You are so talented, you never thought of becoming a Beijing official?" ”

"The ministers have been there, including the prince's door in the past, the second prince's door, and the princes, but they were blasted out, but the prince is willing to ask someone to introduce him." Ge Liang said truthfully.

“……”

So miserable.

Quite right.

"Your character, my father's honest and honest person, I definitely don't like it, but don't worry, I'm different from my father."

After Li Huai finished speaking, he fell into a long thought, thinking about it, the problem still returned to the original point, he can only open a mansion, if he doesn't open a mansion, Ge Liang can only be a magistrate.

You can't really use people as attendants.

However, it is necessary to open a house.

It is necessary to solve the problem that Li Huai raised at the beginning.

The people of Liangzhou do not go to the king, and the people of Liangzhou do not know the king.

He has been sealed for more than two months, and except for the officials of Jiuyuan City, no one from other places has come to worship.

The people of Liangzhou hardly knew about King Liang, even if it was the grain he brought back to save his life, the people did not appreciate him much.

How did this make him open a mansion and gather talents?

Ultimately.

Li Huai made a decision, raised his head and said: "You said that you should let this king open a mansion and gather talents to break the current deadlock, but this king thinks it is impossible!" ”

"Like you, this king is a very high-spirited person, and this king will not beg them to know me."

"At least, before conquering the Northland County, this king will not open a mansion!"

To put it simply.

"This king wants the wise men of the world to throw themselves in, not this king to collect the net!"

Ge Liang looked at Li Huai silently, it was completely different, his heart was high, and he just wanted to show it.

The high spirit of King Liang is endless.

Ge Liang saw King Liang's desire to conquer!

He wants to be an overlord!

Ge Liang also knew where he was going.

Li Huai picked up the pen, wrote down a letter of appointment in a hurry, stood up, handed it to Ge Liang, and said, "You go to Beidi County and wait for me, I won't let you wait too long." ”

And so it was!

Ge Liang's heart couldn't help but surge, seeking the prosperity of the king of Xian and the prosperity of the overlord.

It's very different.

He felt a thrill that he hadn't felt in a long time!

"Minister! Yes, sir! ”
