The door slowly opened.

Ji Heng was sitting in the middle of the room, boiling water in a clay pot.

Fusu entered the room, bowed down and said, "Fusu has seen Mr. ”

"I know that my husband wants me to think more about my daily life and not rely too much on others, but this time the situation is critical, and I have to ask my husband to help."

After speaking.

Fusu put the flask in his hand on the table.

Ji Heng glanced lightly, put the wine jug behind him, and said slowly: "There is wine, everything is easy to say." ”

"Say it."

"What do you want to ask this time?"

Fusu bowed down and told what happened in Huaixian with a solemn face.

Ji Heng listened quietly.

Add a little firewood to the stove from time to time.

After speaking.

Fusu said: "At present, tens of thousands of jun of salt and iron sink into the water, and it will not take long to start spring ploughing, in the past few months, most of the local Qiantou have shrunk their clothes and food, in order to be this spring ploughing, such a tricky thing has happened now, if it is not handled well, I am afraid it will cause the people to roar." ”

"Please also ask the gentleman to help."

Ji Heng's face was as usual.

He used a coarse cloth dipped in water to lift the clay pot that was already boiling water, and poured the boiling water from the clay pot into two exquisite clay bowls, under which some tea leaves were placed.

Ji Heng smiled and said, "Taste it." ”

"This is a tea I accidentally found some time ago."

"Xinyang hairy tip."

"Normally, this kind of tea has been used as three waters, but I am only a rough person, and I am really not used to that kind of fine work, so I can only chew peonies and taste a beautiful appearance."

said.

Ji Heng pushed the pottery bowl over.

The aroma of tea is tangy.

Fusu looked at the clear tea, and had to smile bitterly, the situation was so critical, how could he still be in the mood to drink this tea.

But for now, I can only reach out and take it.

Fusu put the tea bowl aside and said in a condensed voice: "Mr. Ji, it's not that I'm in a hurry, it's just that the situation is urgent, and I ask Mr. to act as soon as possible." ”

Ji Heng smiled faintly and asked, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

Fusu nodded and said, "It's about the stability of Guanzhong, how can Fusu not be in a hurry?" ”

Ji Heng blew the tea bowl, only to see ripples in the tea bowl, and some of the tea leaves at the bottom of the bowl floated to the top, wandering in the tea bowl.

Ji Heng said: "Can you solve the problem in a hurry?" ”

Fusu shook his head.

"Since it can't be solved, let's drink tea first." Ji Heng Road.

Fusu smiled bitterly and had to do it.

It's just that the tea was too hot, and Fusu had to hurriedly put the tea bowl back on the table.

Ji Heng shook his head and said: "If you are disturbed, you will lose your proportion, and if you lose your proportion, you will only panic, the more panicked you are, the easier it is to have an accident. ”

"You're upset."

Fusu got up, bowed down and said: "Let Mr. laugh, Fusu is indeed impatient, the stability of Guanzhong is greater than everything in Fusu's opinion, and now the matter of salt and iron is related to the livelihood of tens of millions of people, Fusu was ordered by the first emperor to deal with this matter, how dare not tremble." ”

"This tea."

Fusu looked at the tea bowl that had been spilled by himself, and said with a wry smile: "Fusu really can't drink it, please forgive me." ”

Ji Heng took a sip and said lightly: "You can actually taste it." ”

Hear the words.

Fusu looked at Ji Heng deeply, but he didn't know what Ji Heng wanted, he thought that he had said the crisis clearly enough, with Ji Heng's intelligence, it was impossible not to think of the impact of this matter, but why was Ji Heng still so calm, as if he didn't care about this matter at all?

Fusu looked at the tea bowl.

He hesitated, sat down again, took the hot tea bowl in his hand, blew lightly a few times, tasted the tea in the bowl, and couldn't help frowning after drinking.

"How does it taste?" Ji Heng Road.

Fusu said: "Slightly bitter." ”

"Then you won't drink tea, I drink it slightly sweet." Ji Heng smiled smugly.

Fusu looked at the tea bowl in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and picked it up again to taste it, but the taste did not change much, it was still slightly bitter.

Fusu said: "Mr. Ji's tea may indeed not suit my taste. ”

"It does feel bitter at first, and it will gradually become sweeter later." Ji Heng took another sip, put down the tea bowl very enjoyably, and said lightly: "Are you quiet now?" ”

Fusu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Ji Heng sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "You just said that the ship full of salt and iron sank, and tens of thousands of jun of salt and iron sank into the water, so what do you know so far about this matter?" ”

Fusu sat solemnly.

He knew that Ji Heng had finally sorted out the matter, and hurriedly said: "This fact should be divided into two things, one is the shipwreck, and the other is salt and iron. ”

"Salt and iron are related to people's livelihood."

"The shipwreck is a criminal case."

"Which do you think is more important?" Ji Heng Road.

Fusu thought for a while and said seriously: "When it is the people's livelihood, the ship has sunk, even if some problems are found, it is impossible to recover the salt and iron that sank in the water, so it is more important to stabilize the people." ”

"People's livelihood is the greatest!"

"That's what Shang Jia thinks too." Ji Heng Road.

Fusu was stunned.

He didn't understand what Ji Heng meant.

Ji Heng didn't say much about it, but said: "I heard you say earlier, this matter has been handed over to you to deal with, so I am afraid that you have made some arrangements before you come to me, let's talk about it." ”

Fusu bowed his head slightly and said, "It's indeed as Mr. said." ”

"When I came, I instructed the Tingwei Mansion to strictly investigate the shipwreck this time, and also instructed the Shaofu to immediately go to various parts of the Kanto region to raise salt and iron, so as to solve the shortage of salt and iron as soon as possible, and also sent people to block the news and try to suppress the matter as much as possible, so as not to provoke changes in Guanzhong."

"Sir, do you think there's anything wrong?"

Fusu looked at Ji Heng.

"You shouldn't ask me, you should ask the merchants." Ji Heng leisurely flat tea.

"Ask the merchant?" Fusu frowned.

"If you are a businessman, do you think you want to get the arrangement of the eldest son?" Ji Heng Road.

Fu Su frowned, thought for a while, and said in a condensed voice: "It should be imagined, these things have always been handled like this, and it is impossible for Shang Jia to think of it." ”

"Then let me ask you again, do you think this matter was intentional or unintentional?" Ji Heng Road.

Fusu's heart sank, and he said in a deep voice: "I think there may be something strange about this matter. ”

"Is that intentional?"

Fusu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded affirmatively.

Ji Heng sneered and said disdainfully: "Since Shang Jia is intentional, how many of your methods do you think can work?" If they dare to do this, how can they not have the means to do so? ”

Fusu's complexion changed.

He wondered, "But it seems that the imperial court can only do this at the moment." ”

"Shang Jia thinks so too."

Fusu's frown tightened.

He looked at Ji Heng deeply, and said helplessly: "Fusu is stupid, please ask Mr. to speak bluntly, can the court have other ways to deal with it?" ”

Ji Heng blew the tea and said lightly: "Is there a way to say anything else, but don't fall into other people's thoughts, this is very important." ”

"There is a mental calculation and no intention."

"Everything you think and think is in the calculations of others, and if you want to solve the problem freely, how can you get what you want so easily?"

"Are you still in a hurry?"

Hear the words.

Fusu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

After Ji Heng said this, he also came back to his senses.

I was too panicked in front of me.

It's also out of proportion.

Ji Heng slowly sat up straight, and said with a straight face: "As you said, Shang Jia came prepared, and most of the shipwrecks this time were planned for a long time, in order to achieve their ulterior purposes. ”

"But what are the intentions of the merchants, can you guess now?"

Fusu shook his head.

How could he know the mind of the merchant?

However, Shang Jia's hand is so big, this time the picture may not be small.

Ji Heng said: "Since you don't know what the businessman thinks, then don't care, just don't know, the businessman calculates them, and you do yours." ”

"That's how I gave you, it's easy."

"You hit yours, I'll hit mine!"

"Don't be led by the other party, follow your own logic and methods to implement your own plan, in a word: take the initiative, don't be easily disrupted by the other party."

"Don't try to meet the tricks."

"Once you fall into the other party's thoughts, it will be difficult to break free, and if you are completely caught in it, you will only succeed for the other party's tricks in the end."

"So don't rush."

"Don't make decisions when your mind is not clear."

Hear the words.

Fusu's cheeks were slightly hot, and he was a little ashamed.

In the past six months, Ji Heng has been teaching himself to have the ability to think independently, and he thinks he has done it, but this time when he encountered a tricky matter, he was shocked to realize that he was deceiving himself before.

I can't even do it without panicking.

What else is there to talk about independent thinking?

Fusu arched his hand and said, "Fusu remembers." ”

Ji Heng bowed his head slightly and continued: "Now re-examine this matter, normally speaking, most people will subconsciously maintain stability when they encounter this kind of thing that affects tens of millions of people, and put people's livelihood first. ”

"It's human nature."

"But this kind of thinking is too common, and it is easy to be thought of, if the merchant is really intentional, he must have a comprehensive plan, and it is not easy for the imperial court to properly solve it."

"It could even backfire."

"So sometimes when you think backwards."

"What you want is the surprise."

"You said earlier that this matter can be divided into two parts."

"I think it's three."

"One is the livelihood problems caused by salt and iron entering the water."

"One is the problem of the wreck itself."

"But there's one thing that a lot of people overlook, and that's the salt and iron itself."

"What is salt iron?"

"Money!"

"Now that the ship has sunk, and the court's commercial taxes are gone, shouldn't anyone be responsible for such a large amount of money?"

After Ji Heng's words, Fusu was stunned.

It was a whole new angle he had never thought of.

I can't think of it at all.

Since ancient times, when encountering this kind of thing, the first thing is to help the people, and then investigate the case, no one has ever thought of investigating the problem of lack of money.

Fusu thought about it secretly, and felt that there was indeed some truth.

He sat upright, his eyes lit up.

Ji Heng took a sip of warm tea, moistened his throat, and said coldly: "And most people today will think that the imperial court should be a peace of mind and an investigation, but will these problems be solved for a while?" ”

"I can't."

"So do the opposite."

"Since you can't solve the problem, let's solve the person who caused the problem first!"

"And people are the problem!"
