Zhang Panlong saw that Xu He was silent after hearing what she just said, so he smiled slightly and said: "My child, don't have too many ideas. Auntie didn't mean what she said!"
Xu He knew that since the other party said this, at least he had begun to think so in his heart.
So he smiled slightly and said: "Auntie, of what I just said, the third one is the worst policy. Now that the best policy can't be done, the worst policy can't be done either, so only the middle policy is feasible!"
Zhang Panlong nodded: "You mean that for this purpose, our Xu family must come out to quell the trouble caused by it, right?"
Xu He nodded.
Zhang Panlong seems to have already made up his mind: "Now regarding this matter, the officialdom of Hailing County has also become divided. One is Zhang Jingxian who advocates military preparation, and the other is the new Hailing County Magistrate Chen Hua who advocates negotiating with the kitchen workers. There are endless arguments, and today Chen Hua took people to Huazhao ten times early today! Zhang Jingxian is also making preparations, secretly dispatching Chen Yingzhao's troops from Yangzhou."
Zhang Panlong also revealed the official plan of Hailing County to deal with this matter.
Xu He pondered after hearing this.
It is understandable that Zhang Jingxian is eager to mobilize troops to suppress this. He has been in office for so long, although the first time thieves invaded the city has nothing to do with him just taking office.
But the last time the bandits were suppressed, the bandit leader escaped. He had not done all his work, and the court probably had a lot of bullets targeting him.
Now, if the hundreds of thousands of people in the Lianghuai Salt Fields were to have anything to do with bandits, then the situation he would face would be even more difficult.
So he immediately put on a tough stance, on the one hand because he was afraid that things would get out of control further, and on the other hand, he also wanted to stop everyone from talking.
However, it was County Magistrate Chen Hua's response that surprised him.
From the last contact, it seems that Chen Hua is a very old-fashioned person. Logically speaking, when such a person encounters this kind of situation, he should advocate toughness. And now he is Zhang Jingxian at that time, and he can have nothing to do with himself. hang.
But he went anyway, risking his own life to persuade the cooks to settle the matter.
At this time, Zhang Panlong said: "In my opinion, neither Zhang Jingxian's suppression nor Chen Hua's caress will be beneficial to extracting my Xu family, so we have to wait until Chen Hua completes the negotiation with the kitchen men. We must also minimize the impact of this matter before Zhang Jingxian sends troops. At the very least, let’s not talk about the Lianghuai Salt Farm, we can’t continue to cause trouble in the Huaizhong Ten!”
Xu He was convinced when he heard this. At this time, almost everyone in the Lianghuai Salt Fields was in trouble.
But the center of the storm is actually Huaizhong Shichang. As long as the affairs of Huaizhong Shichang are suppressed, there is still something to be done.
Although killing those low-ranking ambassadors and deputy envoys was serious, compared to other places in the current Wei Dynasty, it was already considered child's play.
According to the letter written by his uncle Xie Kun, miners in the mountainous areas of eastern Zhejiang have made troubles in recent years. Not to mention the ambassadors who supervise the mines, even the county magistrates and magistrates have killed many.
But what happened to the court?
In the end, the matter was not settled.
Why?
Because the entire country is now in a state of turmoil, surrounded by powerful enemies outside, frequent natural disasters inside, and the murder of officials and rebellion. I guess the cabinet is tired of hearing about it, and it's just that there are too many lice to bite.
Thinking of this, Xu He felt much relieved.
Zhang Panlong saw that he seemed to have figured it out, so he smiled slightly and said: "The Xu family seems to be prosperous now, but in fact there are too few people in the family who can do anything and are as clear-headed as you!"
"So!" Zhang Panlong turned his head and looked at Xu He with burning eyes: "So, son, I want you to go to Huaizhong on behalf of your uncle to make ten trips to persuade those kitchen men to put down their hatred!"
After Zhang Panlong finished speaking, Xu He did not answer. If he was really a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and was praised by Zhang Panlong, he might have agreed immediately!
But after all, he has lived in two lives and knows that if he agrees to this matter, the danger will be no less than going to the gate of hell.
First of all, my Xu family played a very disgraceful role in this incident. The second uncle Xu Dai can be said to be the white glove of the palace forces. Presumably he went to Huaizhong ten times with such a high profile to convince everyone one by one, and his whereabouts will definitely be remembered by those who are interested.
He, a descendant of the Xu family, appeared there again, and he might have been beaten to death with a stick without even having a chance to speak.
Secondly, they have already killed officials and rebelled, and you went there with empty words. How can you make people believe that you are not just trying to appease them temporarily, so you are delaying the war.
And the last point is that the Zaoding salt households are really having a hard time. If there are no changes in the court system, even if they put down their weapons, their lives will still be precarious. It is better to just turn the ball back.
Zhang Panlong sighed, knowing that this matter was not easy to handle, so she called the maid beside her and said: "Go and invite the second master in!"
After a while, Xu Dai, the second master of the Xu family, walked in with a frown on his face.
Zhang Panlong went straight to the point: "Second brother, now that the matter has come to an end, my sister-in-law doesn't want to say anything more, but now I want to tell you two points. First, I want to entrust He'er with full authority to handle this matter on behalf of the Xu family. Do you have any questions?" Opinion?"
Xu Dai opened his mouth, but after all he was too embarrassed to speak, so he could only nod dejectedly.
Zhang Panlong continued in an unquestionable tone: "Also, in the next five years, all the land owned by the Xu family will be rented free of charge, and will only be rented in portions to ordinary kitchen workers!"
"What? Sister-in-law! Rent to those poor people..." Xu Dai was shocked when he heard this.
But before he could finish his words, he was stopped by the sharp look in his sister-in-law's eyes.
Xu He really couldn't figure out how someone like Xu Dai, who wanted to be buried with money when he died, thought he could be an official. Such a person would probably be plundering land in Shandong. Lord.
Oh no, You Xiao is talking empty talk. It is still unknown whether the promised things can be fulfilled by then.
…
Xu He took over the task of unknown life and death at the stage of the family's life and death, and Xu Luan was also running for the lives of his father and son.
When he came to Yangzhou to find You Xiao, You Xiao was receiving a big shot in Xinghua County.
This man’s name is Lu Xixing, and he is the founder of the Eastern sect of Taoism’s inner alchemy sect.
This person's courtesy name is Chang Geng and his nickname is Qianxuzi. He is free, smart, talented, good at poetry and prose, and is good at calligraphy and painting.
He has become a famous scholar among all the students. But at an early age, he tried his best to promote his son's career, but failed in nine tests, so he gave up Confucianism and Taoism and lived in seclusion in the mountains.
It is said that he met Lu Zu several times and learned the secret of immortality. Later, it was said that Lu Dongbin came to his Beihai thatched cottage, stayed there for twenty-two days, and personally taught him the elixir.
You Xiao knew that Emperor Zhizheng was keen on cultivating Taoism, so he went south this time with the purpose of helping him collect strangers from the people.
Xu Luan handed the post in, and while standing outside the hatch, he heard a voice inside saying leisurely: "I have been searching for twenty years, and the stream of light is like an arrow. Jiazi Jiaping (twelfth month of the lunar calendar) lurked in the wilderness and escaped... Then he became great. Enlightenment, from entering the house to seek lead, it will be completed within a few days."
After he finished speaking, he added: "Jia Zi Jia Ping... I was grateful to my teacher for his dream. I went to the other place to hang here, and I had a great enlightenment. Recalling the words taught in the past, I got eighty-nine out of ten. I used the scriptures and songs to comment on them, and repeated them again and again. While sleeping, my spirit was relaxed and I felt like I had gained something, so I wrote this chapter."
At this time, You Xiao's voice came: "The Immortal Chief is a Taoist master. This time, the Immortal Chief comes to the capital. Your Majesty will definitely sweep up the couch to welcome you!"
At this time, the little fire person who was probably the messenger came forward and handed over the post, and there was no words in the cabin for a while.
After a while, Xu Luan suddenly heard a cold voice coming from the cabin: "The Sa family is welcoming the immortal master to the capital at the request of His Majesty. Don't bother the Sa family with local affairs. Let him leave quickly!"
When Xu Luan heard You Xiao's words outside the cabin, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
[PS: There is a legend that "The Romance of the Gods" is the work of Lu Xixing, but there is controversy. One theory is that it was written by Xu Zhonglin! 】
