Chapter 149: Positivity

After the Jingchu refugees entered Dinghu Province and caused the whole province to be frightened, they unexpectedly stopped at Peacock Gorge and did not make any further moves.

When Ye Xingyuan transmitted the news back to Jiangzhou City through the post station, there was jubilation in the yamen, and Lord Pan, who was restless in his sleep, rarely smiled. Secretly sighed that he had the wisdom to know people, and he was able to resist public opinion and entrust Ye Xingyuan with a heavy responsibility, which temporarily stabilized the situation, and now at least he can do it calmly, so that he will not be overwhelmed and have nowhere to start.

When it was time to discuss, a group of staff members gossiped and said: "Sure enough, the adults are blessed, and the displaced people are in awe and dare not make a mistake." ”

Another person said, "These homeless people are just strong people who are strong inside and outside, thanks to the adults who are calm and calm, they can shock these people." ”

With immediate approval and sycophancy, "adults respond to all changes with the same, and have the mind of the prime minister." Now that the situation has been settled and the people are calm, it is time to take the next step while the iron is hot. ”

Master Pan and Master Jin glanced at each other, and they were complaining in their hearts. Of course, they knew that the homeless people stopped at Peacock Gorge and did not move forward, which was the credit of Ye Xingyuan. If it weren't for him and Tang Shiyan going deep into the tiger's den to appease the homeless, once the homeless people came out of the Peacock Gorge, they would be like tigers coming out of the sky, and no one would be able to control the situation anymore.

Fortunately, these staff members were all flashed at the beginning, and now they can't compete for merit, so they can only blindly slap their ass, otherwise they are afraid that they will quarrel too much. Now they don't know that Ye Xingyuan was ordered to go to the camp camp, and they didn't mention it at all.

Master Pan cleared his throat, signaled for silence, and waited for everyone to shut up before he spoke: "Now that Ye Gongzi and Mr. Tang have gone to Peacock Gorge to dissuade the displaced people, it is time for this official to take action."

Before Ye Gongzi set off, he had discussed with the official that he would temporarily feed this group of displaced people by the method of work-for-relief, and let the displaced people not have nothing to do. As for money and food, it is solved through large household donations. What do you think?"

Although Master Pan was disappointed in this group of staff members who had meritorious service and took blame, the form still had to go a little way, after all, he was a provincial political envoy who was "a corporal of courtesy and virtuous" and "listened to it well", and there was no need to omit some scenes.

"This must not happen!" Master Pan's voice just fell. Immediately, some people retorted, "If it is a cash-for-work payment, wouldn't it be true that these displaced people will have to stay in Dinghu Province?" According to the following opinion, since the displaced people are willing to obey, they should be given part of their food. Let them go south!"

As soon as this proposal came out, it was immediately greeted with a wave of support: "Not bad! The cost of cash-for-work is extremely high, and the big households are required to raise donations, where are they willing to do so much? We must not listen to the words of the children of Huangkou in this matter of working the people and hurting money!"

Whether the homeless would obey the command and turn around and head south, these aides didn't care. What they care about is cash-for-work, and the idea of finding large households to raise donations was thought up by Ye Xingyuan, and this plan will inevitably be hindered by many obstacles. It's so difficult that it's almost impossible.

If they are forcibly assigned to do it, they may even offend the big families in the province and lose their connections, so the staff has no enthusiasm for this method.

Besides, even if it is completed, it is also Ye Xingyuan's first achievement, Ye Xingyuan went to Peacock Gorge to stop the homeless, obviously he has already left an excellent impression on the Lord of the Domain, which reflects the incompetence of their group of staff, and he can't be given another chance to make meritorious contributions!

Hearing the noise, Master Pan only felt a headache. At this time, Master Jin remembered Ye Xingyuan's prior arrangement. Gently reminded: "Ye Gongzi's tips, it's time to open the first one at this time." ”

Ye Xingyuan went to stop the displaced people, knowing that he could not return in time, so he left three tips at that time. He said it himself. When the displaced people stop, it's time to open the first tip.

"It's extreme!" Because of Ye Xingyuan's outstanding performance, Master Pan trusted him a lot, and when he remembered the bag, he suddenly felt like he had found a life-saving straw, and hurriedly shouted: "Go and get Ye Gongzi's bag!"

The staff members were making a fuss and were in high spirits. Master Pan's attitude suddenly seemed to splash them with a bucket of cold water. Although Ye Xingyuan is not there, he still holds them down steadily? Lord Pan still believes this after all?

But this is also no way, who told Ye Xingyuan that when he proposed to send people to the camp camp, they were all instigated one by one? Now fortunately, Ye Xingyuan has never returned, so they can still be allowed to talk nonsense, otherwise there will still be a place for them under the curtain of the political envoys?

For a while, all the staff members were in danger, Master Jin didn't care about this, he was thinking about the owner, and quickly took Ye Xingyuan's first bag and sent it to Master Pan.

Master Pan's hands trembled a little, to say that he was a dignified second-class political envoy, he was also the one who rose all the way up from the turmoil in the Huan Sea, and he had seen a lot of storms. But this time the situation is too dangerous, his knowledge and supernatural powers are completely ineffective against a group of homeless people who are waiting to be fed, fortunately Ye Xingyuan turned the tide, so he was a little excited.

Master Pan opened the bag and saw that there was only a blank piece of paper in the bag, and three small characters were written on it -- "Mu Million"! Master Pan was stunned, and suddenly realized something, and he couldn't help but smile and applaud.

Mu Million has not been in a good mood recently, he originally wanted to make a big news and push out the scenery of his son-in-law. Who knew that the Peach Blossom Wenhui would achieve a Tang Shiyan, and the rest would be in vain.

Besides, there has been a lot of homelessness in the southwest recently, and Mu Million's most important timber business has been greatly affected, and he will have to lose at least tens of thousands of taels of silver in half a year, so how can he not feel distressed?

I also heard that the government's current plan is to work for relief, but the granaries of Dinghu Province are empty, and the finances are tight, and they want to raise donations from large households.

No one's money is blown by the wind, although Mu Million is not bad for money, he doesn't want to do good deeds in vain. But as a vested interest group in the province, he doesn't want the order to be completely destroyed, so some people are unpredictable.

Just when Mu Million hesitated, the post from the domain came to the door, and the porter's greeting gentleman ran in out of breath and told Mu Million the news of the appointment with the domain.

"Meet! What do you ask! Don't you want my money?" Mu Wanwan was distressed, "Master Pan has finally set his eyes on me, and he has taken the initiative to speak, but I am afraid that I will not be able to pay for it." ”

After thinking about it, he called Mr. Account Book and gritted his teeth and said: "This is the Hongmen Banquet, you must not go, otherwise you will inevitably be stripped of a layer of skin." You go and prepare three taels of one thousand taels of silver, and send them directly to the yamen of the political envoy.

Then I wrote a letter saying that I was not feeling well and could not go to visit, and that the money was my heart, and I was willing to do my part to solve the chaos of the displaced people. ”

The porter greeted Mr. smiled bitterly, "Master, you should go, this time it was Master Jin from the side of the clan who came in person, and he also said, don't want money, just people!"

Don't want money? Is that my life? Mu Million suddenly trembled, and ordered: "This can't go, the people don't fight with the officials, God knows what treacherous intentions are waiting for the domain! Since Mr. Jin is here, let's invite Mr. Jin in first." ”

Master Jin walked in, grabbed Mu Million's arm, and laughed: "Master Mu, don't worry, our owner doesn't want your money, he wants to do a business with you!"

Doing business? Mu Million Fox was suspicious, he couldn't read, but the ability to do business, Mu Million looked at the world, and thought that he should at least be in the top ten. As for Dinghu Province, it is the first to be lonely as snow.

It's just that what kind of business can the political envoy do with him? The grain in this province is to be sent to Beijing, although Mu Million has all his hands and eyes, he has never touched the grain business, and the profit of this thing is too unstable to meet his wishes.

Moreover, this year's harvest in Dinghu Province is not good, and the grain is already insufficient, and several big grain merchants are complaining, and Mu Million will not join in the excitement. Moreover, when the displaced people enter the country, the lord of the domain should be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, where can he still have any mind to do business?

He pondered for a long time, and then asked Master Jin: "Old Jin, you tell me the truth, is this so-called business related to the inbound homeless people?"

Could it be that they are trying to ask for money in a different way? Or is it that the lords of the feudal clan have also become wiser and have dealt with them in a different way to deal with these mercenary merchants?

Master Jin laughed, "Mu Million really deserves to be Mu Million, Ye Gongzi has a keen eye, so he knows that it is right to look for you! You can rest assured, this business is a big deal, and I will definitely not lose you!"

"Ye Gongzi?" Mu Million was stunned, "Which Ye Gongzi is it?"

A strange name suddenly appeared from Master Jin's mouth, Mu Million felt a little strange, this Ye Gongzi wouldn't be the one he saw at the literary meeting a while ago, right?

Master Jin smiled and said, "Which other Ye Gongzi is Ye Xingyuan who was with Mr. Tang at your family's cultural meeting! He is now giving advice to the Lord of the Domain to solve the affairs of the displaced people!"

Sure enough, it was Ye Xingyuan, and Mu Million was not surprised. At the beginning, Ye Xingyuan said that this article was taught by Tang Shiyan, but Mu Million actually didn't believe it.

He had studied that article for a long time, and he felt that he had gained a lot, and the person who could write it had no evaluation other than genius. He did not know the study of saints, but he had a clear understanding of economic accounts. Ye Xingyuan's path is very different from Tang Shiyan's, how could it be that he taught it?

Mu Million was suspicious that Ye Xingyuan was clumsy at that time, but now listening to Master Jin's words, he is even more sure that the genius who can write that kind of article must have special insight in the way of economy, even if he listens to his truth, it is also very worthwhile.

In this way, Mu Million smiled and said: "Since it was proposed by Ye Gongzi, it must be a good business, and the old man will go to the Yamen of the Political Envoy to meet the domain." ”

The government looks at the homeless people as a disaster, but Mu Million has always believed that where there are people, there is business, but in the past, his hand could not be stretched out, and there was no reliable way. If you have the opportunity this time, you might as well give it a try.

Master Jin secretly complained, you refused to go when the clan invited you to meet, as soon as you heard that there was business, you were active, worthy of the nature of a businessman, and it was not at all what Ye Gongzi expected. (To be continued.) )
