Qingzhou City, Caishikou, Gaotai.
"Hello brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, I am your parent officer, the governor of Qingzhou - Chen Jia!!"
Chen Jia stood on the high platform, holding a simple loudspeaker in his hand and shouted loudly.
Hearing Chen Jia's voice, the originally noisy crowd gradually became quiet.
Many of them don't know who Chen Jia is?
I don’t know how senior the governor of Qingzhou is?
But that doesn't stop them from knowing that the person speaking in front of them is a high official! !
A greater official than their parents' county magistrate and county prefect! !
"Today, Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Chief Bachelor of the Cabinet, and the Imperial Envoy Master Zhou Zhenwen came to Qingzhou to visit everyone and prepared some relief food for everyone. Let us welcome their arrival!!"
Chen Jia shouted at the top of his lungs. After shouting, he took the initiative to applaud.
The common people applauded when they saw the high officials, and they followed suit and started clapping.
"Pa bang bang..."
Suddenly, there was applause and the scene suddenly became lively.
Among the crowd, many people rolled their eyes wildly, with cunning and cunning looks on their faces.
your Highness?
Chief Grand Master of the Cabinet?
Imperial envoy?
This is a huge amount of oil and water!
How can we give up without making a huge profit!
They are all wanderers who hang out in the market, and they are the best at making money. Although they cannot guess the reason why Her Royal Highness the Princess and the high officials from the capital came to Qingzhou, this does not prevent them from making money. People with such status and status can just make trouble casually. If you make a fuss, you will definitely compromise!
It's just a little relief food. For dignitaries like them, it's just a drop in the bucket!
One of the tall swingers glanced at his accomplice not far away.
The accomplice understood instantly and gave him a knowing look.
The accomplice took a few steps back, walked to a dark place, and began to gather other accomplices and began to whisper.
"The boss has given the signal, you all know what to do!" A shabby man with a stooped body and unkempt face said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, bastard, we're good at this kind of thing, isn't it just a little bit of trouble to make the big shots bleed!"
"Yes, yes, this kind of thing has been done for a long time. If you mix among these people, with a little encouragement, they will naturally cause trouble. When the time comes, the extra food...hehe... ."
"Be careful. The people here this time are all big shots in the capital. Although they are worried about their face, they are not necessarily being taken advantage of. Just try a little bit and don't go too far. Otherwise, it will be easy for Chen Jia to get off the stage. Once Chen Jia takes action, it will be a bit troublesome. Got it!"
There was a hint of shrewdness in Er Laizi's turbid eyes, and he suggested: "The strong dragon will not suppress the local snake. We can offend the big shots in the capital. After all, they are not locals. As long as they don't go too far, we can fool them. Sooner or later, they will It’s not a big problem for those who return to the capital.”
"But Chen Jia is different. He is the governor of Qingzhou. Now that the original governor Zhang Qi has been killed, he has temporarily taken over Qingzhou City. We can't offend him. He can send us to jail with just one order."
He is a wanderer who has been in the market for many years. He knows the rules of this game best. The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. What kind of bullshit high-ranking officials in the capital are useless. No matter how big or powerful they are, how can they control them?
If it doesn't work, just run away!
They can survive in other cities.
For them, the most fearful people are the local officials, county magistrates, and county prefects.
If they just move their fingers, the officers and soldiers will search for them and arrest them all.
"Don't worry, we know what to do!"
Many people have been involved in this trade all year round, so they naturally understand that Chen Jia cannot be offended.
...
Accompanied by applause, Zhou Zhenwen and the eldest princess Huaizhen walked slowly onto the high platform.
Looking at the huge crowd, the eldest princess Huaizhen sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect so many people to come?"
“It’s better to have more people!”
“The more people there are, the easier it is to do things!”
Zhou Zhenwen showed a smile on his face and said softly.
"With so many people, there must be a lot of people trying to fish in troubled waters. How do you plan to eliminate these people?"
"Although the method of cooking porridge with gravel will damage your reputation, it is better than letting people who fish in troubled waters take advantage!"
"You asked Xiaosi to prepare rice, how do you plan to distinguish it?"
"You don't really plan to give relief food to so many people here, do you?"
The eldest princess Huaizhen's expression remained unchanged and she asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the mountain man has his own clever plan!" Zhou Zhenwen gave up.
After speaking, Zhou Zhenwen took a step forward and gave Chen Jia a look.
Chen Jia is also a human being. He understood instantly and shouted quickly: "Dear fellow citizens, let us invite Bachelor Zhou to speak for a few words!!"
Zhou Zhenwen took the loudspeaker and said unhurriedly: "Today, Her Royal Highness the Princess and I came to Qingzhou City mainly to visit you. Recently, locusts have begun to appear everywhere. The court is worried that everyone will not have enough food to eat and will suffer from hunger. Dong, Your Highness the Princess and I are specially asked to come here to deliver some relief food to everyone, so that everyone can survive this scorching summer and welcome the autumn harvest!!"
"good!"
"Thank you, Mr. Guan!!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess, thank you, Mr. Zhou..."
"Thank you, the court. Your Majesty still remembers us..."
In the crowd, some people began to shout, thanking the court, thanking Her Royal Highness, thanking Zhou Zhenwen, and thanking Emperor Xuan.
For a time, the voice of gratitude could not be heard.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhenwen frowned a little, and he keenly felt that something was not right!
The reaction of these people was too enthusiastic!
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
has a problem! !
Zhou Zhenwen spread his spiritual thoughts and directly targeted the few people who had just stirred up trouble in the crowd. Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, compared with the people around them, they looked a bit arrogant. More importantly, they did not look sallow or thin. .
They can have enough to eat... This idea rose in Zhou Zhenwen's mind, and he was already guessing.
'Haha, blackmail, blackmail is coming to me? '
'Dare you take advantage of me, a traitorous minister? '
'You're quite brave! ! '
The tall figure in the crowd looked at Zhou Zhenwen bathing in the ocean of gratitude, and sneered in his heart: Praise! Praise it! The higher you lift it, the harder it falls! First I put you on the pedestal, and then I made it impossible for you to get off the pedestal. I don't believe that at that time, you can still refuse the voice of the people?
The man's name is Zhao Laosan, and he is a well-known little boss in Qingzhou City. Many wanderers hanging out in the market call him Third Master! !
This person is also very loyal, and in just a few years, he has achieved a lot of fame.
This area of Caishikou is under his control.
As early as yesterday when the high platform was being built, he had inquired about the movements of Zhou Zhenwen and Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Apart from the government's propaganda and the stimulation of food reserves, the biggest reason why so many people came today is because of him!
He mobilized a lot of connections, gathered a group of gangsters, and quietly publicized, forcing some people to come to ask for food. He knew very well that this kind of food must be divided according to head. The more people there are, the more money he will make. The more.
Among the tens of thousands of people who came today, there were hundreds of them, all of them his.
Hundreds of people also quietly brought their families, relatives and friends, and even threatened some people to ask them to come and ask for food.
'This wave, if you operate it well, it will not be a problem to make five or six hundred taels of silver! ! '
Zhao Laosan was a little excited. With this money, he would be able to get rid of the gangsters in the east of the city and completely annex most of the underground forces in Qingzhou City.
