Eat well.

Ji Heng was basking in the sun leisurely.

Fusu poured himself a cup of tea and walked to the courtyard.

He also took a bit of an interest in tea.

Ji Heng glanced at Fusu lightly, and said: "You can send someone to Xinyang to pick points, Xinyang is not far from Xianyang, it is spring, spring tea is the most tender, whether it is Maojian or black tea, it has a certain refreshing effect, and it is still quite beneficial to you." ”

Fusu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Thank you, sir, for reminding me."

"This tea is really extraordinary."

After drinking a bowl of tea, Fusu said to Ji Heng: "I really bothered Mr. today, and the fish money will be sent to send someone to the meeting, and now the things in the city are boiling, and Fusu will retire first." ”

After speaking.

Fusu walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

When Fusu was about to walk to the door of the house, Ji Heng's voice came slowly.

"Something to do."

"But don't forget to get into the book."

"Thank you, sir, for reminding me." Fusu's heart sank.

A cool breeze blew.

He was the only one left in Ji Heng's courtyard.

Only the mulberry tree, which is full of new leaves, is still making a sound.

Not much.

Fusu has returned to Yonggong.

He was not in a hurry to summon Meng Yi and Du He.

Instead, he followed Ji Heng's suggestion and went to his study to write down his thoughts one by one.

After the writing was completed, someone was sent to Xianyang Palace.

Then.

Fusu began to follow up.

He said to the outside of the hall: "Wei Sheng, you immediately send someone to inform Meng Yi Tingwei, Du He Shaofu and Zhang Cang Yushi. ”

"Let them come to Yonggong to discuss the shipwreck in Huai County."

I only heard a 'no' from outside the hall, and the inside and outside of the study were quiet again.

Fusu was sitting on the seat.

He pondered it in his mind.

After thinking carefully about what he was going to do next, and making sure that there was nothing missing, he walked towards the side hall where he met.

A quarter of an hour later.

Meng Yi, Du He, and Zhang Cang arrived at Yonggong.

Compared with Meng Yi and Du He's solemnity, Zhang Cang was more dazed.

There was even some trepidation.

After Wei Sheng made a confession, the three of them were able to enter the hall.

After a brief salute, the three of them each sat at a table.

Meng Yi arched his hand and said: "Childe, there is an uproar in the city right now, many people in the vicinity have flocked to various markets, the minister thinks that he should come forward as soon as possible to appease the people, so as to avoid further expansion of the situation, and also to avoid further deterioration, the matter of salt and iron is very important, how can Childe be so careless and willful?" ”

Meng Yi directly accused.

Fu Su smiled and said, "Captain Mengting, there is no need to be so anxious. ”

"I already know the things of the place."

"Come on, serve hot soup."

Hear the words.

Meng Yi frowned, and said in a condensed voice: "Childe has a good plan? ”

Fusu nodded.

He said slowly: "I know that Meng Tingwei is worried about state affairs, but if you want to hurry, you can't solve the problem in a hurry, only by doing things practically can you solve the current problem. ”

"Yes." Zhang Cang said truthfully.

"But can Zhang Yushi know that this matter was only transmitted to Xianyang by Mo Shi (巳時)?" Fusu Road.

Zhang Cang shook his head.

He didn't know much about the specifics.

I only know about it.

Fu Su chuckled lightly and continued: "Zhang Yushi knows, when did this matter come out? ”

Zhang Cang continued to shake his head.

"Midday (noon)." Fusu Road.

"Mid-day?" Zhang Cang's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes showed a different color.

Fusu nodded, looked at Zhang Cang, and said: "Zhang Yushi is proficient in economics, the director of the world's calculations, or has been aware of the clues, with the speed of the government, it can still be transmitted at no time, how can the city be transmitted in the middle of the day?" ”

"Huai County is four hundred miles away from Xianyang."

"The government postman can travel to Xianyang so quickly by boat and horseback."

"How can the tongue of the place reach so quickly?"

Zhang Cang frowned, he looked at Meng Yi and Du He, and said: "According to what Gongzi said, even if the local people also take boats and horses, the speed of travel must be much slower than that of the postal people, four hundred miles, at least two or three hours." ”

"Mo Shi and Noon are adjacent hours."

"Therefore, it is impossible for the news to come from Huai County."

"It's only possible that it's coming from the city."

Hear the words.

Meng Yi and Du He's faces changed slightly.

After Zhang Cang said this, they also reacted.

The interval between is too short.

This doesn't make sense.

"Someone who knows about this has leaked it." Meng Yi said coldly.

"Exactly." Fu Su bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I have summoned you here right now to discuss what to deal with. ”

"Whistleblowers in the ranks of officials must be found."

Fusu glanced at Du He and Meng Yi coldly, and finally fell on Du He, and said in a deep voice: "From the shipwreck in Huaixian County to Xianyang, to the leakage of news in the city, and now to the closure of shops in various places by merchants in tandem, don't you think it's coming too fast?" ”

Duch's heart sank.

His face was slightly tense, and his expression was slightly hurried.

He could hear it.

The Tingwei Mansion had almost no contact with the merchants, but the Shaofu was not, there were iron officials and salt officials under the rule of the Shaofu, and it was also the iron officials and salt officials in various places who drafted the deeds between the merchants and the Yanchi Mine.

Du He said in a deep voice: "It is a dereliction of duty. ”

"The minister will send someone down to investigate it strictly, and he will definitely find out the black sheep of the official office."

Fu Su waved his hand and said: "Shaofu is in charge of the world's economy." ”

"The investigating officials should be handed over to the Imperial History Mansion."

Hear the words.

Zhang Cang's face changed suddenly.

There was a deep panic in his eyes.

However, Fusu obviously didn't care about this, and said directly: "Zhang Cang, you are the imperial history under the rule of the Imperial History Mansion, and this matter will be handed over to you to deal with." ”

"No, no, no." Zhang Cangmeng sat up from the seat, waved his hand and said: "Childe, forgive Zhang Cang's rudeness, Childe's order, Zhang Cangshi doesn't dare to take it, I am just an official under the rule of the Imperial History Mansion, not to supervise the world's supervision of the imperial history, how can Zhang Cang do it?" ”

"Please also ask Childe to take back his life."

Zhang Cang was really panicked.

He settled the accounts in the Imperial History Mansion.

There is not much real power.

Only when the meeting is held, can he have some sense of existence, and at other times, he basically checks the accounts, and there are not too many real positions, but now Fusu has let himself do the function of supervising the imperial history, which is too much, where does he dare to take it.

Isn't this a problem for yourself?

Fusu took a deep breath and said: "Some time ago, the imperial court has cleaned up the major official offices and arrested many officials, but at present, there are still many people who violate the law and discipline within the major official offices, and there are still many people who are secretly colluding with them. ”

"Again."

"The matter of salt and iron is very wide-ranging."

"I'm not at ease when I hand it over to the prison historian for trial."

"And Zhang Yushi has outstanding ability, and I am relieved to hand over this matter to you."

"Please also ask Zhang Yushi Mo to shirk."

said.

Fusu got up from the case and bowed deeply to Zhang Cang.

Zhang Cang's face turned dark.

I was even more bitter in my heart.

He had already guessed that it would be nothing good for Fusu to call him over.

He has been deliberately hiding all this time.

It still didn't work.

Fusu is pushing him into the fire pit.

Since Fusu knows that the imperial court has checked it once, let himself check it now, wouldn't he tell the current supervisor that the imperial court doesn't trust you very much, and it's good that he hasn't found out the problem, and he can barely perfunctory the past, if the problem is found, won't the current supervisor hate himself to death?

This is making enemies for yourself!

He is an ordinary official.

How could He De be so favored by Fusu?

Zhang Cang wanted to cry aggrievedly.

"Eldest son, why is my Zhang Cang's life so bitter." Zhang Cang's face was flushed, and his eyes were full of resentment and partiality.

Hearing Zhang Cang's words of grief and indignation, Fusu and the others couldn't help laughing.

Fu Su Waner said: "This time the situation is urgent, I can only trouble Zhang Yushi, and when this matter is over, I will send someone to find ten jars of honey for you." ”

"I've always done what I said."

"Eldest son, you" Zhang Cang's face turned red, and his expression was ashamed and annoyed.

There was an uproar.

All the people in the hall burst into laughter.

Fusu knew Zhang Cang very well.

Zhang Cang has a good temperament and will not be really angry.

He arched his hand and said, "This time I will trouble Zhang Yushi." ”

"Du Shaofu, wait for you to go down to verify the officials who know the information, and hand over the relevant roster to Zhang Yushi, before this matter is over, these officials will not be able to return home for the time being, let alone have any contact with the outside world."

"At the same time, the officials of the Salt and Iron Government are not allowed to meddle in this case again."

Du He hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Fusu looked at Zhang Cang and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yushi, the matter of salt and iron is related to the livelihood of tens of millions of people in Guanzhong, and there is no room for slackness. ”

"Straight to the point!"

"Childe has said so, what else can I do? You can only do your best. Zhang Cang said depressedly.

Fusu bowed his head slightly and said, "It's not enough to just check. ”

"Things don't really work out."

"The current situation, the businessmen have expected it, and they have coerced the people and intend to pressure the imperial court."

"Therefore, the panic and anxiety of the population must be alleged."

"This matter should be resolved by the Shaofu."

"Please make it clear." Duch arched.

Fusu said: "Shaofu is in charge of the taxes of the world's mountains and seas and ponds. ”

"Therefore, the salt and iron accumulated in the Shaofu treasury are enough to meet the needs of Guanzhong."

"That's the way to appease."

Duch frowned.

This statement is very puzzling.

He is in charge of Shaofu, and he knows Shaofu best, how can there be salt and iron in the treasury of Shaofu?

Zhang Cang and Meng Yi also looked puzzled.

Fusu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if there is one in the Shaofu, the important thing is to make the people believe that the Shaofu has it." ”

"As long as the bottom believes that there is."

"It doesn't matter if there is really one in the Shaofu or not."

"Fiction and reality, reality and fiction."

"This is the law of peace for the people."

Hear the words.

Zhang Cang frowned, then seemed to realize something, and raised his head suddenly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Duch pondered for a moment, but also thoughtfully.

Only Meng Yi frowned.
