Chapter 637: Making an Idea
Regarding Su Qi'an's request that all the grain found out be confiscated and sent to the front line, Feng Nan and many other officials did not refuse, and they all agreed.
This is the ultimate goal of Su Qi'an's layout, when it comes to this, even if you are a fool, you know how to make a choice.
After the matter was negotiated, Feng Nan and other officials all clenched their fists and then turned to leave.
Su Qi'an watched, without any hindrance, Feng Nan and the others walked out of the court, got into their respective carriages one after another, and then walked away.
Watching the departure of these officials, Xie Cang, who did not speak the whole time behind him, sighed with a little unwillingness on his face.
"Hey, it's a pity to let them go like this, I'm afraid it's not easy to find such an opportunity later."
Xie Cang sighed, but he also knew that there was no problem in killing Feng Nan and all the officials, but the responsibility in the future, the stability of Dongshan, would not be able to be solved in a while.
Su Qi'an let them go, but it was the best policy, after all, this time it was all eight county guards who were arrested.
Su Qi'an came to Dongzhou for more than a month, and directly won all the nine county guards in the nine counties of Dongzhou, which is already a very outstanding record.
If it is too late to go into the depths, it is still of great use to keep these officials.
Su Qi'an knew this better than anyone else, and according to his plan to come to Dongzhou, he wanted to wipe out all these tumors in Dongzhou and eradicate them all.
While the responsibility is costly, it makes a lot of sense in the long run if it can quell the internal chaos.
But since he met Chu Xiong and talked with him, Su Qi'an felt how ridiculous his previous thoughts were. Xiu Shu
The Eastern State is no different than other states, where officials commit crimes, even if they are caught in the net, it is nothing, and the states themselves are very stable, even if some officials want to rebel.
With the strength of the imperial court, it is not difficult to directly send troops to Pingping, especially since other states will monitor each other.
Often, there is no need for the imperial court to send a large army, and the neighboring state pastors will send troops to solve the problem, and generally speaking, there is no absolute certainty, and the states will not openly rebel.
But Dongzhou is different, it is a huge place, comparable to two states, and the annual tax reaches one-fifth of the entire Daliang.
It is also on the front line, fighting against pirates and pirates all year round, and needs to maintain a large army, so it can be said that Dongzhou is rich and soldiers.
After so many years of development, the local families in Dongzhou are often stronger than those in other states.
Not to mention anything else, as far as the four elders of Dongzhou are concerned, they are not comparable to other states.
Even if Su Qi'an dealt with all the officials in Dongzhou in one fell swoop, with these snake-like families, he would quickly use his family background.
The newly appointed officials are either their people, or they have received their favors to a greater or lesser extent, and if they are parachuted into an out-of-state official without any background, this is what the local family prefers.
It won't take long for it to be assimilated and corroded, and it can be said that these local families are an important cornerstone for maintaining the internal stability of Dongzhou.
The development of hundreds of years is not a joke, Su Qi'an eradicated them in batches with force, and it won't be long before these families will grow back again with the spring breeze blowing and regenerating.
If you directly target the signs at these local families and start a war against them, this scene is most likely what the pirates are willing to see.
Therefore, after talking with Chu Xiong for a period of time, Su Qi'an clearly realized that it was just wishful thinking to eradicate these Dongzhou families with his own strength.
Even if it is eradicated, there will be new families emerging in the future, these people cannot be killed, and the foundation accumulated in Dongzhou for hundreds of years is not so easy to solve.
Therefore, instead of trying to eradicate them, it is better to set up a game and let them use it for themselves again and again.
The fact that 100,000 stone grain is so easy to prepare is a living example.
As long as the strategy can be used, these people can achieve Su Qi'an's goal of completely rectifying Dongzhou.
These are also obtained after some exchanges with Chu Xiong, and they have new ideas, and they also have new plans for these family giants in the future.
At the same time, Su Qi'an took down the eight county guards in the Zigui County Mansion, and brought the news back as Feng Nan returned to the state capital.
Zhou Zibin sat in a room in the state capital, and next to him, in addition to Feng Nan, there were two Dongzhou family giants, Wu Xian and Jiang Kun.
After listening to the news that Feng Nan brought back, the two family giants had pale faces and a little despair in their eyes.
You must know that Su Qi'an's action this time seems to have arrested only eight county guards, but in fact, behind these eight people, there is strong support from his two families.
Su Qi'an's surface has ended here, and it will not expand the impact, in fact, the spearhead of this operation is against his two families, and the fall of the eight county guards means that the vitality of the two families will be greatly damaged.
This Su Qi'an spread silently, to put it bluntly, it was aimed at his two families. Ь.
It is foreseeable that with the resignation of the eight county guards, how much will it cost him and how many people will be cleared out before he can survive with a broken arm.
These are already unavoidable and irreparable, and the price has to be paid, but the two heads of the family are very unwilling.
No one can be happy, the two of them haven't made a move on Su Qi'an, this supervision envoy directly attacked them, and he can't hold back his breath.
After the two adjusted their emotions for a short time, they hugged their fists and said to Zhou Zibin.
"My lord, this matter can't just be left at that, this surveillance makes his purpose obvious, it is a provocation, the first knife is aimed at us, in fact, it is to deal with you, my lord."
"It's nothing if my two families are seriously injured, but if you endure this breath, it will definitely fuel Su Qi'an's arrogance, and maybe the next knife will come at you."
"My lord, we have to take action, we must not let this hairy boy be so arrogant, otherwise Dongzhou will not be turned upside down by him."
Wu Xian and Jiang Kun's arch fire, Zhou Zibin was not affected, and said coldly with an expressionless face.
"Action? How to act, directly gather people and horses, and return to the county? Surround the county government and start a war with Su Qi'an? Capture him, and then make a fuss all over Dongzhou?"
"When the time comes, the court will blame you, will this responsibility be borne by this state or by you?"
Zhou Zibin's series of rhetorical questions suddenly left Wu Xian and Jiang Kun without saying a word.
If they really want to act like this, how can the two of them bear the blame of the imperial court?
After all, Su Qi'an's identity is there, and the supervision envoy appointed by the imperial court, if he makes a move against the supervision envoy, he will take action against the imperial court, and the two of them are still very clear about the consequences.
But if this matter is to be settled, they must not be ridden by Su Qi'an's neck.
The eyes of the two flashed, and they didn't say a word, and after a reprimand, Zhou Zibin said unhurriedly.
"You two are worried, Honshu knows, but can you use your brain in everything?" This overseer is not so easy to deal with, and it is still the same sentence, it is not the time to tear your face now, and you should not do such a stupid thing until you have to."
"You can die if you want, don't bring it with you."
After Wu Xian and Jiang Kun were reprimanded, the emotions that filled their brains gradually subsided, and the two of them hugged their fists and hurriedly said.
"This is something that the two of us are overly emotional, and I hope the adults will teach me."
Zhou Zibin nodded slightly, and after being silent for a while, he turned his head to look at Feng Nan, who was reporting below, and said softly.
"If this state remembers correctly, isn't the Inspector planning to transport all the collected grain and grass to the front?"
"This is a big project, and it is difficult to achieve it with his manpower, without a suitable route and a suitable guide."
"What do you mean?" Feng Nan looked up, thoughtful.
"The transportation route, the recruitment of the people of Da Liang, I'm afraid there is only one person in Dongzhou who can do such a large-scale operation."
"This person doesn't have a hatred for killing children with the Overseer, so I'll leave this matter to him, and I think he will be grateful to Honshu."
Speaking of which, Feng Nan, Wu Xian, and Jiang Kun naturally knew who the person Zhou Zibin mentioned.
It is Shen Wanfu, the richest man in Dongzhou.
In Dongzhou, in terms of the size of the caravan and the route it traveled, the Shen family dared to call it the first
Second, no one calls it first.
It is precisely because of his familiarity with all parts of Dongzhou that as early as four or five years ago, the business of transporting grain and grass on the front line was contracted by the Shen family.
Su Qi'an wants to transfer grain and grass, no matter what, he can't get around the Shen family's caravan, and now such an opportunity appears in front of him, with Shen Wanfu's hatred for Su Qi'an, he will definitely not let it go.
Lend the hands of others, and then they will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. xь.
Hearing this, Wu Xian and Jiang Kun had bright eyes and slapped their asses at Zhou Zibin again and again.
Compared with the excitement of the two, Feng Nan seemed much calmer, this trick was good, but there was still a big loophole hidden in it.
That is, if Su Qi'an insisted on not using the Shen family's caravan and sent his own soldiers to escort it, then their trick would be in vain.
They also thought of Shen Wanfu's hatred for Su Qi'an, and took the opportunity to secretly attack, with Su Qi'an's wisdom, they could naturally guess it.
How could he be stupid enough to use the Shen family's caravan and route?
Feng Nan's worries, Zhou Zibin was very calm, and said with a smile.
"Yes, there are other possibilities, but if our Overseer is going to do this, won't it give us a chance?"
"Don't take the caravan route that the Shen family explored in advance, don't use the people of the Shen family, take the risk of sending people to the front line secretly, there are at least four or five hundred miles away from the front and rear of Dongzhou, so much grain and grass on the road, how many bandits along the way can endure it?"
"The Overseer has his own army, don't we?"
When Zhou Zibin said this, he couldn't be more straightforward, and Feng Nan naturally understood it.
He nodded again and again, clenching his fists and saying yes.
That's right, if Su Qi'an dares to take risks, he will give them a chance to make a move.
When the time comes, they will send people to pretend to be bandits and attack on a large scale, in all kinds of deep mountains and old forests, even if Su Qi'an wants to check afterwards, Dongzhou is so big and there are so many bandits, these have become a natural shelter for them to shoot.
Thinking of this, Feng Nan and the three of them all sighed at the high level of Zhou Zibin's plan.
This time it was their turn to fight back, 100,000 grains and grass were not so easy to digest, and how to eat them in the first place, they had to spit them out.
