The words are over.駪
Lu Wensu saluted.
Then he slowly exited the side hall study.
After his figure completely disappeared from the study in the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi sat upright on the Taishi chair and looked out the window at the sunshine with a slight frown.
In his mind, he kept reviewing the many plans he had made on the way home.
As for the Xie family in Yuyang County.
Don't say that it is just a branch of the Xie family in Chen County.駪
Even though it is the Xie family in Chen County.
He is not afraid at all, and is even less likely to give in even the slightest bit.
I do not know how long it has been.
Xu Yi gradually retracted his gaze from the window.
Get up, pour water into the inkstone, and grind it carefully.
Picking up a piece of slightly yellowed rice paper.
Lay it flat behind the writing desk.駪
Then he sat down and picked up his pen.
On the yellowed rice paper, he wrote slowly and slowly: "Thunder and heavy rain in winter, food prices are rising slowly, and aristocratic families are stocking up on odd things."
"There is a shortage of food, food prices are skyrocketing, aristocratic families are annexing, hungry people are everywhere, and the land is full of hungry people."
"The people gathered to fight against the rebellion, the court provided relief, and the army put down the rebellion. The situation became more and more intense, and nine out of ten houses were empty."
The pen stops and the book is completed, and the wolf hair returns to the inkstone.
Xu Yi stared deeply at what he had just written.
This is generally the case with natural disasters over the years.駪
I do not know how long it has been.
Xu Yi once again took up his pen and slowly drew a large circle on the eight characters "Long supply" and "Raining food prices".
Then he wrote slowly and quickly outside the circle: "Gather all the food in the world and pour it into the swallows."
The writing stops and the writing is completed.
Xu Yi held a wolf-hair pen and stared at the seven characters on the yellow rice paper with lightning eyes.
After counting the interest.
Xu Yi added another seven characters next to the seven characters in "Gathering the Grain of the World into Yan" - "cast the foundation of the copper wall and the iron wall."
With the writing stopped, the book was completed, and the wolf hair returned to the inkstone.
Thousands of thoughts in Xu Yi's mind gradually came together.
at the same time.
On the way back, all the strategies I had thought about gradually fell into place.
I do not know how long it has been.
Maybe an hour or two.
Maybe it's just a quarter of an hour or two.駪
Xu Yi gradually came back to his senses from his deep thoughts.
A hint of dominance flashed through his eyes again.
"A blessing in disguise, a blessing in disguise."
"Thunder in the first month? Strong winds? Heavy rain in the sky? There's a drought? Is there an imminent famine?"
"They come, the security."
Xu Yi shook his head noncommittally.
Then he stood up, picked up the rice paper in front of him, and walked straight to the stove.駪
Accompanied by the fire, it is bright and dark.
The yellowed rice paper instantly burst into flames.
Finally, it fell silently into the cold hearth.
Except for some smoke and ashes, it no longer exists between heaven and earth.
Xu Yi pushed open the window sill slowly.
Let the cool breeze come in outside the window.
Completely dissipate the smoke and dust.駪
Not long after.
Xu Yi stood beside the window sill, placing his hands in a strange shape beside his mouth.
But don't wait until he blows the whistle that contains a special melody.
Suddenly, there was an extremely slight sound of familiar footsteps outside the study in the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
"Dong dong dong."
"Owner."
at the same time.駪
The sound of a gentle knock on the door and the characteristic voice of the inquiring leader reached Xu Yi's ears one after another.
"Enter."
Xu Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and answered.
"yes."
Outside the study room in the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
The leader who asked the heart agreed and then gently opened the door and entered.
"what
thing?駪
Xu Yi turned around from the window sill and looked at the leader Wen Xin behind him.
"Return to the master."
"The Governor Sun asked for an audience outside Yumen."
Leader Wenxin held his famous thorn in his hand and saluted.
"If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here."
Hearing this, Xu Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly again.
Just now he wanted to ask the leader of the heart, and it was because of Sun Daohua.駪
Now that Sun Daohua came uninvited, he undoubtedly saved Xu Yi a lot of time.
"Please come here."
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment and then gave instructions.
"yes."
The leader of Asking Heart agreed, then slowly turned around and left.
After the figure of leader Wen Xin completely disappeared from the side hall study.
Xu Yi went behind the writing desk again.駪
After sitting down, he quickly sorted out many matters in his mind after meeting Sun Daohua.
Within it, there is naturally the root that "gathers the grain and grass from all over the world into swallows and casts copper walls and iron walls."
It's just a premise.
...
...
Not long after.
Wearing a lavender official uniform and looking tired, the Shanggu County Sheriff was led by Chief Wenxin.駪
Gently pushed open the door of the study room in the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
"My grandson Daohua, I would like to pay my respects to the prince."
Sun Daohua walked two steps away from the writing desk and solemnly bowed his hands.
"No gift."
"Chief Sun, please take a seat."
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then motioned for Sun Daohua to take a seat at the guest table.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Sun Daohua did not refuse, and after thanking him, he slowly sat down on the guest seat.
"Chief Sun, please have some tea."
Xu Yi poured two cups of tea and pushed one slowly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Please forgive me for my insolence today."
Sun Daohua took the cup with both hands, an apology suddenly appeared on his face.
"You and I are here, why do Commander Sun need to see us outside?"
"If you have something to say, it doesn't matter."
Xu Yi comforted him softly.
As for Sun Daohua's intention to take the initiative to visit him.
It has gradually become clear in his mind.
Different from Yang Xian'an, Zhu Zongting, Fan Chongxian and others.
Although Sun Daohua surrendered early, he was limited by his status as vassal king and county governor.
The relationship between the two was not close.駪
It can even be compared with the word "very few".
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I am taking the liberty of disturbing you this time."
"One is the accumulation of water outside the city."
"The second is the promise of the aristocratic family."
"The third one is the royal family in the south of the city."
Sun Daohua felt relieved when he heard this, and then slowly spoke.駪
"On my way back, I saw that the rivers outside the city were being dredged and the drainage was being drained into canals. Everything was in good order."
"I think it will take at least ten days and a half to get them all into the ditch."
"I wonder what Governor Sun said about the accumulation of water?"
"But there is a problem in a certain section of the river?"
Xu Yi frowned slightly for a moment.
When he returned to his home from outside Juyang City.
I also made a general survey of the water conditions outside Juyang City.駪
It's exactly what it says.
Nowadays, the drainage into canals and river dredging outside Juyang City are being carried out in an orderly manner.
In less than ten days and half a month, all the accumulated water in the fertile fields can enter the canal.
Therefore, the problem probably lies in a certain river.
"Your Majesty knows things like a god."
Sun Daohua secretly slapped him when he heard this.
Then he told the whole story one by one.駪
As Xu Yi expected.
This time the problem really lies in the river.
And it comes out of the Yanghe River, the mother river of Juyang City.
As the situation in Yanxian, Panxian and Xialuo cities is initially determined.
Under the leadership of fifteen thousand soldiers from the Wang camp.
And countless people from the three cities cooperated.
A steady stream of stagnant water is discharged from the fertile fields in Yanxian, Panxian and Xialuo cities.駪
The rolling water continues to rush northward through the Sanggan River.
After several twists and turns, it finally merged into the Yang River.
In turn, the water level of Yanghe River continues to rise.
Although there is no risk of Yanghe River bursting its banks today.
But the water from Juyang City has no chance of entering the ocean.
And this trend.
Now it is becoming increasingly clear.駪
If not dealt with.
Not to mention ten days and a half month, even a month or two.
There is no hope of draining away the accumulated water in the fertile fields of Juyang City.
It comes down to it.
Or it was caused by the lack of timely cleaning of the river.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Explain the cause and effect.駪
Sun Daohua sighed deeply.
Then he stood up and bowed solemnly.
"I am the governor of Shanggu County."
"The three cities of Yanxian, Panxian and Xialuo are also governed by the ministers."
"And it's a place upstream."
"I cannot order them not to drain water into canals."
"However, the accumulation of water in the fertile fields outside the city affects thousands of people in Juyang City."
"Now I have no other option but to ask the prince for help."
Sun Daohua said bitterly.
Xu Yi groaned for a few breaths after hearing the words.
Then he said: "The Guhui will coordinate the three families of Zhu, Fan and Dong."
The Zhu family is the well-deserved leader of many aristocratic families in Shanggu County.
The Zhu family is naturally the well-deserved leader in the water transportation business.
Correspondingly, the number of ships owned by the Zhu family is also the largest.駪
The Fan family and the Dong family ranked second and fourth respectively.
It's no exaggeration to say so.
If these three companies join together, they will surely monopolize nearly 70% of Shanggu County's water surface business.
Naturally, the same is true for the number of ships used by these three companies.
And want to clean up the Yanghe River.
Nature cannot do without a large number of ships.
Ruosun Daohua went to Zhu, Fan, and Dong to ask for ships.駪
Although it can be obtained, the quantity will definitely not be satisfactory.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Sun Daohua couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Based on his many years of experience as an official.
How could we not see the clues between the Fan family, the Dong family and the Yan Palace from the incident of the powerful family being forced on the 17th day of the first lunar month?
"My lord, on behalf of the thousands of people in Juyang City, I would like to thank you for your great kindness."
Sun Daohua calmed down for a moment, then bowed deeply again.駪
"There is no need for Governor Sun to see anyone outside."
Xu Yi waved his hand slightly, signaling Sun Daohua to take a seat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Sun Daohua thanked him and then slowly sat down again.
"My lord."
"This was inherited by all the families on that day."
"Now some aristocratic families have prepared enough."
"When I came, several family heads found me."
"He said he could deliver it to the official warehouse at any time."
Sun Daohua took out a rice paper from his sleeve and immediately presented it to Xu Yi with both hands.
"We have Governor Laosun."
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then took the rice paper from Sun Daohua.
As the folded rice paper slowly unfolds.
Lines of "shocking" words instantly appeared in Xu Yi's eyes.駪
"The Xun family would like to present five thousand shi of grain and five thousand taels of silver."
"The Zhao family is willing to present five thousand shi of grain and five thousand taels of silver."
"The Sun family is willing to present five thousand dan of grain and five thousand dan of silver.
Thousand taels. "
"The Niu family is willing to present thirteen thousand dan of grain."
"The Gongsun family is willing to present fifteen thousand dan of food."
「……」
"......"
A rough estimate.
That day there were a group of aristocratic families and powerful country gentry on the wall of the South City Gate.
In order to protect themselves, they submitted more than 160,000 stones of food and grass.
There were also more than 40,000 taels of silver presented.
If Xu Yi remembers correctly.
That day the Niu family and the Gongsun family said their food reserves amounted to tens of thousands of dan.
These two families even threatened to donate all the money to repay the people of Juyang City.駪
However.
The two companies that appear on the list have 13,000 shi and 15,000 shi respectively.
"The amount of grain presented by the Niu family and the Gongsun family is wrong."
"It needs to be increased to at least thirty thousand stones."
Xu Yi calmly put down the list in his hand and gave instructions.
The Niu family and the Gongsun family tried to deceive him.
He will not spare these two families lightly.駪
What's more, a mere 160,000 shi of grain cannot support its huge plan of "gathering the world's grain into Yan".
Even if the Niu family and the Gongsun family each increased to 30,000 dan.
Xu Yi still needs to spend at least 50,000 dan to be able to support this plan.
"yes."
Sun Daohua answered with his hands raised.
A hint of schadenfreude flashed across his eyes inadvertently.
That day on the city wall, he reminded the Niu family and the Gongsun family.駪
But Xu Yi had already left the city wall at that time, and the pressure from the Niu family and Gongsun family was greatly reduced, and they continued to persuade him.
"Your Majesty."
"One hundred and six members of the Wang family are now imprisoned."
"The royal family's residence, shops, warehouses, etc. were all sealed by the ministers and heavily guarded."
Sun Daohua sat down to calm down, and then opened his mouth to report.
Xu Yi couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this.
Words such as "seizure" and "heavy guard" were used by Sun Daohua.駪
It was almost as if he hadn't moved at all.
"Just act according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Everyone in the Wang family should ask questions and behead them, and they should be distributed and distributed."
"The family property should be sold off and put into the county treasury."
"As for the rest."
"No need to think too much, everything happens alone."
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then spoke in relief.駪
If nothing unexpected happens.
This matter was the fundamental purpose of Sun Daohua's visit.
as expected.
As soon as these words came out, Sun Daohua couldn't help but feel relaxed on his face.
After counting the interest.
Sun Daohua, determined in his heart, stood up again.
Pretending to be embarrassed, he said, "Your Majesty also knows."
"Nowadays, three teams and six housekeepers and clerks are all outside the city arranging drainage into canals and cleaning up rivers."
"The county government is really short of manpower."
"I don't know..."
"I wonder if I can borrow some of my subordinate officials from the prince's palace to serve as ministers."
"To take stock and make calculations."
The words are over.
Sun Daohua solemnly saluted again.駪
"Can."
"At midnight tomorrow."
"Officials from the government will come to help."
Xu Yi felt happy and immediately agreed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Sun Daohua's heart was completely settled after hearing this.
"I have something I need to ask Governor Sun to tell those aristocratic families."
Xu Yi paused for a moment, and his face gradually turned serious.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Sun Daohua felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly agreed.
The words are over.
Xu Yi slowly picked up the rice paper on which the things to be presented were written on the desk.
"Please also ask Governor Sun to tell those aristocratic families and powerful squires."
"Let this matter sink into your stomach completely."
"Don't let anyone hear any rumors about this matter."
Xu Yi looked serious and warned in a deep voice.
"yes."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"Chen decided to convey the message from door to door."
Sun Daohua, who sensed some murderous intent, felt a chill in his heart.
Then he spoke with an extremely solemn expression and promised.駪
"also."
"It doesn't matter whether it's food, grass or money."
"Everyone is keeping their troops stationary."
"When I need it, I will order someone to get it."
Xu Yi commanded again in a deep voice.
"yes."
Although Sun Daohua didn't know Xu Yi's intention, he didn't ask any more questions.駪
Instead, he agreed again.
"As for the food stamps I mentioned when I left the city."
"Wait until the matter outside the city is settled."
"Chief Sun will prepare the merit book."
"I will make my own decision then."
Xu Yi gave instructions again.
"Shocked."
"yes."
Sun Daohua was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then quickly agreed.
If Xu Yi hadn't mentioned it, he might have forgotten about the food stamps thousands of miles away.
