"After this incident, the fish must have been baited." Gong
"After this incident, the fish must have been hooked."
"After this incident, the fish must have been hooked."
Xu Yizhi's words continue to echo in the ears of Yang Xian'an, Zhu Guangli and others like a bell.
For a while.
There were only a few rapid and heavy breathing sounds in the study room of the huge side hall of Chengyun Hall.
There was no sound from him.
I do not know how long it has been. gong
Maybe an hour or two.
Maybe it's only a quarter of an hour or two.
Zhu Guangli, who had been an official to a feudal official for several years, was the first to come to his senses.
"This is an unprecedented plan!"
Zhu Guangli's face was full of admiration and he praised sincerely.
"With the prince's plan, the people will have no worries and the land will have no worries."
Fan Chongxian and Dong Hongzhang came to their senses after hearing the sound, and then followed the path unwilling to be left behind. gong
"Whether this plan can be successful depends on its origin."
"And here you are."
Xu Yi smiled noncommittally, and then his expression became serious.
"I understand."
Zhu Guangli, Fan Chongxian, Dong Hongzhang and others looked serious, and then bowed their hands with solemn expressions on their faces.
Not long after.
Everything is done. gong
Yang Xian'an, Zhu Guangli, Fan Chongxian and others resigned and left.
When everyone's figures completely disappeared outside Chengyun Hall.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then lightly slapped his hand.
"Snapped."
"Pah, pah."
"Come out."
Xu Yi looked at the darkness outside the door and spoke slowly.
The words are over.
Two figures, one strong and one thin, appeared in the dark corner where the leader of Ziwenxin always resides.
Then he walked straight towards the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall, which was open wide.
"I pay my respects to the prince."
Two figures, one strong and one thin, walked three steps away from Xu Yi's writing desk, and then they raised their hands and saluted.
"Chief Sun and Magistrate Pang don't need to be so polite." Gong
"Please take a seat."
Xu Yi's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and then he gave a signal.
Two figures came from the dark corner of Chengyun Hall.
The burly man inside was none other than Pang Wenze, the governor of Yuyang County.
The other slightly thin figure is Sun Daohua, the governor of Shanggu County.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze thanked him again. gong
"We just discussed the matter. What do you two think?"
After Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze were completely seated, Xu Yi slowly asked.
Long before Yang Xianan, Zhu Guangli and others arrived at Chengyun Hall.
Wenxin Baiwei secretly took Sun and Pang to Chengyun Hall.
Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze listened to every word of the entire discussion.
And Xu Yi's move was undoubtedly to treat him with confidence.
Therefore, Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze just changed "Xiaguan" to "Chen". gong
"My lord, this is a very clever plan."
"I am filled with admiration."
Sun Daohua didn't hesitate at all when he heard the words and blurted out immediately.
"I second my opinion."
Pang Wenze followed closely and said sincerely.
"This plan is a disservice to both of you."
Xu Yi stood up slowly and solemnly cupped his hands. gong
As a high-ranking official in the border area, he inherited the humiliation of a large family.
If it were done secretly, no one would have any resentment.
At the end of the day, that’s how things are.
But not this time.
This time Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze were almost humiliated by the Mingcheng family.
Although it will definitely be praised by the world in the future.
But the first one
It is inevitable that his face will be disgraced and his majesty will be greatly damaged. gong
"Your Majesty, your words are serious."
Upon hearing this, Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze hurriedly stood up and paid their respects.
If this happens, it will be worthy of a special mention in the history books, just like the previous work-for-relief work in Guanzhong.
This kind of thing is destined to leave a mark in history. A little grievance in the early stage is nothing.
Thinking about this.
Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze's expressions gradually became serious.
"After this incident, I will definitely leave my name in history a hundred years later." Gong
"This is what I have been dreaming of since I have been in office for more than 20 years. How can I express my grievances?"
"Your Majesty's kindness will never be forgotten by me."
"Your Majesty, I would like to invite you to pay your respects."
Sun Daohua calmed down for a moment, then stood up with a serious face and bowed to him again.
"The same is true for me."
After hearing this, Pang Wenze stood up again and paid homage to him.
"You two are serious." Gong
"Please take a seat."
Hear this.
The last trace of worry in Xu Yi's heart completely disappeared.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze thanked each other again and then slowly took their seats.
"I summon you two to come today."
"Besides this, there is another thing." Gong
After the two of them were completely seated, Xu Yi's expression gradually became serious.
"I am all ears."
Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze straightened their backs immediately after hearing this, with serious expressions on their faces.
"This is to rebuild Nuqi City."
Xu Yi said slowly with a serious face.
"Rebuilding Nuqi City?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to carry out the work-for-relief program again?"
Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze were slightly startled and then said in unison.
"Exactly."
"The previous discussions were all aimed at protecting food prices."
"Before everything settles."
"There will definitely be two to three months of skyrocketing food prices."
"The people of Yan Land will definitely be in great panic by then."
"To avoid unnecessary consequences."
"It is also to bring the female Qicheng back to the land of Yan as soon as possible."
"Therefore, Commander Sun and Commander Pang need to carry out work-in-relief measures in early March."
Xu Yi nodded solemnly, and then laid out his plans one by one.
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
When Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
Like Yang Xian'an, Zhu Guangli and others.
Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze had previously focused on "guaranteing food prices." gong
However, they have neglected the heavy burden that the people of Yan will have to bear before the matter of "guaranteing food prices" is settled.
"Best regards, Your Majesty."
After more than ten breaths, Sun Daohua came back to his senses with difficulty, and then he admired from the bottom of his heart.
"I second my opinion."
Pang Wenze came back to his senses upon hearing the sound, his face also full of admiration.
It’s exactly what Xu Yi said.
When food prices started to skyrocket. gong
Ordinary people are naturally extremely panicked.
This is human nature.
By then.
Selling sons, daughters, and land in exchange for money and snapping up food.
It will inevitably happen frequently.
Even gatherings of people to commit murder will inevitably happen from time to time.
At this time, Xu Yi used work as a means of relief. gong
First, it can leave a glimmer of hope for ordinary people.
This will prevent extreme tragedies from happening.
Secondly, during the disaster, the people just want food and clothing.
At this time, the price paid by the Yan Palace to build Nuqi City was undoubtedly the smallest.
And if we can raise 300,000 people this time.
When the matter of "guaranteing food prices" is completely settled.
Nuqicheng may have reappeared
In the human world. gong
Third, you can confuse "everyone" with your words.
As everyone knows, King Yi of Yan was once appointed in the 29th year of Zhengde in the face of danger, and served as the commander-in-chief of Jing Zhaoyin and Guanzhong disaster relief.
In charge of the disaster relief work in Guanzhong.
The method used by Xu Yi at that time was to use work instead of relief.
Therefore, the work-for-relief program appeared in the Yan region.
The world knows that this is Xu Yi's handiwork.
If Xu Yi personally goes out to carry out work-for-relief measures. gong
All the aristocratic families and powerful squires may feel fear in their hearts.
And then fear of hands and feet.
But this time and that time.
Today's Xu Yifei is not Jing Zhaoyin, nor is he the disaster relief commander-in-chief who is in charge of Guanzhong disaster relief.
But King Yi of Yan.
The vassal king has no power over the people's livelihood.
Xu Yi had no chance of ending up personally. gong
The four words "work-for-relief" are simple to say.
But in fact, it is no less than the sky on the ground.
The simple words "work for relief" have more than just the organization, scheduling and execution of officials behind it.
There are also matters such as the collection, coordination, and distribution of materials.
One link is within another, and the links are interlocking.
Like a huge and sophisticated machine.
When a problem starts to occur in one of the links. gong
Then the entire food-for-work program will come to a complete standstill.
It comes down to it.
Human nature is a complex and greedy thing.
If not.
Over the past thousands of years, how could there be only a few records in history books about the success of work-for-relief projects?
But there is no work-for-relief scheme by General Xu Yi.
In the eyes of many aristocratic families, it is nothing more than a desperate struggle after being cornered. gong
By then.
A group of aristocratic families and powerful country gentry are bound to go completely crazy.
Thinking about this.
Sun Daohua couldn't help but feel worried.
"Dare to ask the prince."
"Who will bear this burden?"
Sun Daohua calmed down for a moment, and then spoke to seek enlightenment. gong
At the same time, the figure of Wang Wenlian could not help but appear in his mind.
"Chief Sun and Commander Pang are taking the lead on this matter."
"Wang Wenlian is for execution."
Xu Yi said nonchalantly.
Hear this.
Sun Daohua couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he quickly cupped his hands and said, "I obey your order."
Not long after.
Everything is done.
Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze resigned and left.
After the two figures completely disappeared from the study in the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
Xu Yi sat upright on the Taishi chair, slightly closing his eyes as if to rest his mind.
In fact, I am constantly checking and filling in the gaps in today’s events in my mind.
I do not know how long it has been. gong
Maybe an hour or two.
Maybe it's just a quarter of an hour or two.
Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes on the Taishi chair.
Then he stood up and walked to the window sill.
As the study window sill slowly opened.
A gentle breeze caressed his face.
"After this incident."
"The land of Yan should be completely worry-free."
"Then..."
"Mobei..."
Xu Yi stood by the window sill and let the breeze caress his face. His eyes were full of profound charm and stared at the bright night sky outside the window.
at the same time.
Outside the Yumen of Prince Yan's Mansion.
"Chief Sun, who is Wang Wenlian?" Gong
Pang Wenze, who was doubtful, finally asked.
"Uncle Princess."
"I once served under the prince's command."
"Lead Fufeng County Maoling, Pingling, Wugong, Exian, and Meiyang, and provide work relief in five cities."
"Although there were a few twists and turns during the period, it was generally completed well."
Sun Daohua paused for a moment, and then slowly told the truth about what he had discovered recently.
"That's it."
"I can rest assured that."
Pang Wenze pondered for a few breaths and then sighed.
After a while.
Two luxurious carriages drove away from Prince Yan's Mansion one after the other.
at the same time.
On a busy street outside Prince Yan's Mansion.
Several figures hurriedly left the world of fireworks. gong
.......
.......
"Back off."
Less than half an hour later.
In the study room of No. A annex of Xianju Pavilion.
Xu Xilin waved his hand slightly and retreated from his followers.
After the entourage completely disappeared from the study. gong
Xu Xilin couldn't help but frown.
"In front are Zhu Guangli, Zhu Zongting, Fan Chongxian and Dong Hongzhang."
"Later came Sun Daohua and Pang Wenze."
"What exactly does Xu Yi want?"
Xu Xilin frowned and murmured in a low voice.
The words are over.
Xu Xilin leaned his back on the Taishi chair, and then slowly closed his eyes. gong
At the same time, the scenes he encountered today flashed through his mind.
"A grand contest between the whole army."
"Four Square Observation Deck."
"Businessmen from aristocratic families in Zhuojun, Guangyang, Youbeiping, Zhongshan, Hejian and other places."
"Merchant from aristocratic families in Liao and Dai."
"Three battalions of soldiers and horses are Xuanjia, ascend first, and fall into formation."
"Zhu, Fan, and Dong are the three great aristocratic families and the governors of Shanggu and Yuyang counties." Gong
I do not know how long it has been.
Xu Xilin opened his eyes suddenly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.
"Are you aware of the crisis and are you prepared to use force to deter it?"
"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that you were smart all your life but you were confused for a while."
"Isn't it human nature that you can shock just because you want to shock it?"
"Xu Yi, Xu Yi, you are still too young and energetic after all."
"If you don't understand that the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them." Gong
Xu Xilin murmured in a low voice, the smile on his lips becoming more and more sarcastic.
at the same time.
In another courtyard of Xianju Pavilion.
Xu Jingqi and Xie Gongjie sat opposite each other.
"Thank you, Master, for coming. I pray you understand."
"I will set off to return home soon."
"At that time, the prayer will be conveyed to my father verbatim." Gong
Xu Jingqi picked up the tea cup and spoke slowly.
"His Royal Highness Your Royal Highness."
"A few thoughts are not disrespectful."
Xie Gongjie felt relieved after hearing this. He stood up and took out a brand new envelope from his arms, and then presented it on the desk with both hands.
"Thank you, Master, I can't do it, I can't do it."
Xu Jingqi slowly stood up and declined after hearing this.
"I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will not dislike you." Gong
Xie Gongjie exchanged a few words with humility.
Then he said goodbye and left.
After Xie Gongjie's figure completely disappeared from the study room in the other courtyard.
Xu Jingqi chuckled and shook his head, then reached out and picked up the brand new envelope.
After counting the interest.
Several brand-new banknotes suddenly appeared in Xu Jingqi's hands.
"Fifty thousand taels." Gong
"Mr. Xie of Chen County is really a generous person."
"Interesting, really interesting."
"I wonder when you broke the rules, did you ever think that this day would come?"
Seeing this, the smile on Xu Jingqi's face became brighter and brighter, and her rather gloating eyes looked deeply through the half-open window sill.
He looked towards the direction of Prince Yan's Mansion.
As for coming here on Thanksgiving Day.
It's nothing more than asking for food on behalf of the family behind him.
As for the purpose of asking for food, it is self-evident. gong
And this is what Xu Jingqi likes to hear the most.
Not long after.
Just when Xu Jingqi collected the banknotes and was about to walk out of the study.
Suddenly there was a sound of slightly hasty footsteps outside the study.
"Dong dong dong."
"Your Majesty."
A generation of royal servants walked outside the closed study and gently knocked on the door. gong
"Enter."
Xu Jingqi, who was about to express his blame, quickly changed his words when he heard a familiar voice.
"yes."
The servant of the Prince's Palace agreed and then gently pushed the door open and entered.
"But something happened?"
Xu Jingqi asked impatiently.
"Hui Shizi." Gong
"Zhu Guangli, father and son of the Zhu family in Shanggu, and Fan Chongxian, the head of the Fan family in Shanggu."
"Song Yuanfu, the owner of Song's trading house, and Dong Hongzhang, the head of the Dong family in Yuyang."
"These five people entered Prince Yan's Mansion together and stayed for nearly an hour."
"These five people left about three quarters of an hour ago."
"Sun Daohua, the governor of Shanggu County, and Pang Wenze, the governor of Yuyang County, drove away from Prince Yan's Mansion one after the other."
On behalf of the servants of the royal palace, the report was reported truthfully.
"The Zhu family father and son, Fan Chongxian, Dong Hongzhang, Song Yuanfu."
"Sun Daohua, Pang Wenze."
"Back off."
Xu Jingqi frowned immediately when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and dismissed the servant.
