It is on a high slope outside the former site of Nvqicheng.

When Wang Wenlian heard this, his expression immediately straightened up.

"Go back to your lord."

"Since Wu Yongchuan and Xiao Xiaofu were executed."

"We haven't found any other troublemakers in recent days."

Wang Wenlian bowed solemnly and reported truthfully.

"Xiaoxiao's matters must not be taken lightly."

"When the evidence is conclusive, kill when necessary, and behead when necessary."

"Don't let some rats spoil the plans here."

Xu Yi nodded slightly and then gave serious instructions.

As for the rats in his mouth.

Naturally, Wu Yongchuan, the prison chief of Hunu City in Yuyang County, is one of them.

If Xu Yi hadn't prepared enough in advance and Wang Wenlian and others had not responded promptly enough and dealt decisively enough.

Nowadays, the former site of Nuqicheng is probably in a mess.

Don't look at the fact that Wu Yongchuan's official position is not high, he is only the prison owner of a small county town.

But his courage is truly astonishing.

When most officials first arrived, they all carefully assessed the situation.

He has already begun to dominate and be extremely greedy by relying on the power that is as big as sesame seeds and mung beans in his hands.

Anyone who gives him "filial piety" will turn a blind eye to everything.

Anyone who is not given "filial respect" will inevitably find faults in everything and find faults in every egg.

That's why.

For a time, all the people in Hunu City were angry and speechless.

In the eyes of the people.

Now stand up and expose Wu Yongchuan's viciousness.

It's nothing more than a momentary pleasure.

Under the protection of officials, Wu Yongchuan may not receive much punishment.

And after this incident, the relationship between him and Wu Yongchuan was completely severed.

After the reconstruction of Nuqi City is completed, return to Hunu City.

A civilian husband is still a civilian husband, and Wu Yongchuan is still the superior jailer.

At that time, how could a common man defeat the superior criminal master?

It comes down to it.

Most civilian husbands adhere to the principle that doing more is worse than doing less.

Even if he is oppressed everywhere, he must grit his teeth and endure it for the sake of the family and the children.

As for reporting to the official?

Then Wu Yongchuan is the official.

later.

Under the subtle influence of Wu Yongchuan.

Officials in several cities around Hunu City followed suit one after another.

For a time, everything around the city wall where Wu Yongchuan and others were was was filled with smoke.

If this trend is allowed to continue like this, it won't take long before it will completely sweep the entire area around the former site of Nuqicheng.

After Wang Wenlian learned about this, he knew that this trend would definitely not help the stock's rise.

Therefore.

On the one hand, Wang Wenlian used the secrets left by Xu Yi to investigate corrupt officials in detail and make them into a roster.

On the other hand, they secretly mobilized manpower to prepare for a comprehensive arrest.

No one who is on the roster will escape.

Waiting for the roster to be completed.

Wang Wenlian immediately wrote a letter.

Secretly ordered the personal guards Xu Yi left to submit the letter and the roster to Xu Yi.

And that letter was "full of" words to scare the monkeys.

And there were four to five hundred names on the roster.

How could he not inform Xu Yi of such a big event in advance.

Xu Yi read it and pointed out the word "诛" on the letter.

Get this word.

Wang Wenlian was instantly calm.

At Mao o'clock the next day, the eastern sky was slightly brightened.

Wu Yongchuan and other officials were still in a dream state.

The soldiers sent by Wang Wenlian had already arrived and killed them.

In just two quarters of an hour, Wu Yongchuan and more than 400 officials and slaves returned without any trouble.

case.

It's nearly half the hour.

Two hundred thousand civilians were mobilized by Wang Wenlian to the barren mountains.

Conduct public hearings.

Since then.

Almost every two or three quarters of an hour.

There will be as few as a few, as many as dozens of fresh heads flowing out of the barren mountain.

Through the hands of the accompanying soldiers, it was circulated in all directions.

At that time, all the two hundred thousand people clapped their hands and applauded.

The accompanying officials all felt chills on their necks.

After this incident.

Unknowingly, the efficiency of civilian workers increased by nearly 30%.

It is on a high slope outside the former site of Nvqicheng.

Xu Yi gave a few words of advice and was then respectfully sent off by Wang Wenlian and others.

Once again embarked on the journey back to Juyang City.

...

...

It's close to Unity time.

The sun sets.

After several hours of galloping, Xu Yi and his party of more than a hundred people arrived.

Finally, we entered Juyang territory again.

However, Fang Yi stepped into Juyang territory.

Xu Yi's brows beneath the fang-faced mask frowned slightly unconsciously.

As far as the eye can see.

The fertile fields on both sides of the official road are all withered and yellow.

Although Xu Yi had already made plans to reduce grain production to the point of no harvest.

But for some reason, when he saw that the fertile fields were full of withered yellow color.

Still inevitably feeling a little distressed in my heart.

Xu Yi shook his head slightly, calmed down for a moment and then controlled the horse to move forward again.

And the more you move forward.

Xu Yi's brows became more and more furrowed under his fang-faced mask.

Go all the way.

I saw not a wisp of smoke rising from the villages along the way.

And from time to time, you can see people with yellowish-green faces on the roadside.

And the towns and villages passed along the way.

From time to time, groups of merchants could be seen traveling between towns.

And all the people with red faces and big bellies in brocade clothes gathered the poor people, shouting and shouting, and then talked loudly.

Xu Yi also quietly stopped his horse's hooves and listened carefully for a moment.

But all the words that came to my ears were talking about impending natural disasters and spreading fear of natural disasters.

After that, he was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, talking shamelessly about how kind-hearted he was and how he didn't want to see the people starve and suffer.

But beneath the words of benevolence and morality, there is a dirty and cruel heart.

as expected.

It didn't take long for the man who spoke so much about benevolence, justice and morality to start to have bad ideas.

The target is directly at the few fields that have been passed down from generation to generation in the hands of homesteaders.

Hear this.

Xu Yi frowned and left silently without saying a word.

Fang Yi left.

Xu Yi then sent out most of the more than a hundred personal guards around him.

Used to carry out information on the ground.

The sun sets in the west since Youshi.

Night falls at Xu time.

Dozens of guards visited dozens of towns and villages in a fan pattern.

From the news brought back by dozens of personal guards.

There is really chaos in Juyang right now.

Things like what happened in the towns and villages along the way were actually acts of conscience amidst the chaos.

And in some remote villages.

Already, many things that are common in natural disasters have occurred.

And this is just something that happens within the county.

If you look under the leopard in the tube, you can see the conditions of the cities under the prefecture and city.

...

...

It's nearly half Hai hour.

The night is getting darker.

After disguising himself, Xu Yi finally entered Juyang quietly from the east city gate.

All the way.

Xu Yi’s mind is almost always filled with thoughts

I can't help but think about what I saw and heard along the way.

Although many things had been expected.

But when it really goes among the people and hears it personally.

Your mood will naturally undergo many changes.

"A small leak will sink a great ship."

Approaching Prince Yan's residence, Xu Yi couldn't help but shake his head.

It was as if he wanted to expel all the messy thoughts from his mind.

Xu Yi, who has experience in disaster relief in Guanzhong, naturally understands deeply.

If the time is not right, he will take action rashly.

Although it can save the people for a while.

But there is no doubt that it will cause trouble for the people.

In the aftermath, there will inevitably be several times or even dozens of times more civilians who will die in the wilderness due to their sudden adventure.

That's why.

Xu Yi couldn't bear it all the way.

But he never took the initiative even once.

Less than half an hour later.

Xu Yi, who had been away for more than a month, once again walked into the Chengyun Hall, which symbolized the power of the vassal king.

"It is said that Yang Xian'an and Lu Wensu will come to see me soon."

In the Chengyun Hall of Prince Yan's Mansion, Xu Yi gently opened the door of the study room in the side hall and stepped in immediately.

"Follow the order."

Leader Wen Xin, who was following him, heard this and quickly accepted the order.

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of Wenxin quickly turned around and left.

At the same time, Xu Yi walked slowly behind the writing case.

He sat down calmly on the Taishi chair.

Then he closed his eyes and meditated.

Time passed quietly in silence.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Leader Wenxin, Yang Xianan, and Lu Wensu appeared one after another outside the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall in Dakai.

"Dong dong dong."

"Owner."

The leader of Wenxin knocked lightly on the door and asked for instructions.

"Enter."

Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and said with a slightly hoarse voice.

"yes."

Leader Wen Xin agreed and immediately led Yang Xian'an and Lu Wensu inside.

After the two of them entered, he lightly closed the door and immediately stood guard outside.

"My ministers, please pay your respects to the prince."

Yang Xian'an and Lu Wensu walked two steps away from the desk and saluted in unison.

"No gift."

"sit."

Xu Yi nodded slightly, and after the two stood up, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the two guest seats in front of him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat."

Yang Xian'an and Lu Wensu thanked each other again, then slowly walked forward and sat down on the guest seats.

"How much food have merchants from various places brought in now?"

After the two of them sat down, Xu Yi asked calmly.

"Go back to your lord."

"According to reports from spies from various places."

"Nowadays, merchants from various places transport as much as four million dan of grain."

"Among them, people in various cities snapped up nearly 300,000 dan."

"Aristocratic families and powerful men in various cities swallowed nearly half a million stones to hoard."

"Squires and landowners from all over the country followed closely and swallowed nearly 300,000 dan of grain."

Yang Xianan heard what he said and reported it truthfully.

"good."

Xu Yi nodded noncommittally, and then looked at Lu Wensu.

"How much food is about to flow into Yandi."

"Is there an approximate deadline?"

Xu Yi asked calmly.

"Go back to your lord."

"According to reports from spies stationed in various places."

"In the near future, millions of dans of grain will flow into Yan's land."

"Six hundred thousand stones of it came from the waterway."

"It is expected to arrive tomorrow or the day after."

"The rest of the food coming from overland can basically arrive within five days."

Lu Wensu pondered for a moment, and then reported quickly.

Xu Yi's eyelids couldn't help but droop slightly when he heard this.

In fact, according to its advance prediction.

This natural disaster will bring at most about 3.5 million shi of food into Yan from various places.

Aristocratic families and merchants have a strong balance in their hearts.

No one will continue to transport grains knowingly that Yan's land is already saturated.

During this period, the aristocratic families, gentry and landlords in the Yan region undoubtedly made great contributions.

Compared with the merchants from aristocratic families outside Yandi.

They undoubtedly have a deeper desire for the fertile land in Yandi.

And if you want to take advantage of the opportunity to swallow up more fertile land, you will naturally need more food reserves.

With market demand, there will naturally be a steady stream of grain transported into Yandi.

And during this period.

Among the Zhu and Fan families in Shanggu County and the Qu family in Yuyang County.

From time to time, some "gossip" will spread.

And these gossips are all related to grain harvesting without exception.

For a time, all the aristocratic families and businessmen from all over the country were in high spirits.

You have more luck, I have more luck.

This eventually led to the current situation.

If we count the millions of stones of food arriving in five days.

The grain flowing into Yandi this time was a full 1.5 million dan more than Xu Yi expected.

And the more than five million stone of food has obviously reached its limit.

In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.

Xu Yi's eyelids drooped slightly, and he thought quietly for a moment.

After a moment, Xu Yi raised his eyelids and looked at Yang Xianan and Lu Wensu.

"Invite Sun Daohua, Pang Wenze, Zhu Guangli, Fan Chongxian, Dong Hongzhang, Song Yuanfu and others."

"In five days, we will close the net!"

Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then ordered in a deep voice.

"Follow the order!"

When Yang Xian'an and Lu Wensu heard this, their faces immediately straightened, and they quickly stood up and solemnly saluted and accepted their orders.

The words are over.

Xu Yi waved his hand slightly to signal the two of them to sit down.

"How is Yuyang City doing now?"

After Yang Xian'an and Lu Wensu sat down, Xu Yi looked at Yang Xian'an and asked.

"Go back to your lord."

"Most of the influence caused by the Qu and Xie families has now been eliminated."

"Special Envoy Zhu and others have also captured nearly half of what was left by the Qu and Xie families."

"I estimate that the situation will be completely calmed down within two months."

Yang Xian'an pondered for a few breaths, and then responded.

And the Special Envoy Zhu he spoke of was naturally Zhu Zongting, the future helmsman of the Zhu family.

And the things left by the Qu and Xie families.

It refers to the intangible assets.

That is: business channels, connections, etc.

"good."

"What is the attitude of those imperial envoys now?"

Xu Yi nodded slightly, then changed the topic and asked.

The attitude of the imperial envoys represents the attitude of the court to a certain extent.

There is no reason for Xu Yi not to care about this matter.

"Go back to your lord."

"Since that group of imperial envoys entered Yandi."

「……」

「……」

After Yang Xian'an heard this, he told what he did after the imperial envoys entered Yan.

Compared with Bai Qidong, the former doctor of the Qing Li Division of the Ministry of Revenue, who escorted the reward materials to Yan, and Yan Xiaohu, the doctor of the Qing Li Division of the Ministry of War Arsenal.

The trip of this group of imperial envoys was as if they were traveling under orders.

And what he did after entering the Yan land can be described in the words of later generations.

It is undoubtedly the four words "eat and get cards".

As for this errand?

Of course they care.

But what they care about is not how much gold and silver they bring back to the court.

Rather

They care about how much gold and silver can flow into their own pockets.

After hearing that the imperial envoys frequently visited some aristocratic families in Yuyang County in private.

After wanting to do the move of "secretly destroying Chen Cang".

Xu Yi shook his head noncommittally.

If the imperial envoy is like this, the rest of the officials can naturally imagine it.

And how long has it been since he used work-for-relief and massacred corrupt officials?

It's just more than a year.

"This center is really hopelessly rotten."

"No wonder it has been thirty-one years since entering Zhengde."

"Rebellions among common people occurred frequently across the country."

Thinking about this.

Xu Yi couldn't help but shook his head slightly again.

Thirty-one years since entering Zhengde.

The rebellion of the people is no longer limited to coastal counties.

Instead, it shows an almost full bloom state.

Except for the coastal counties that suffered from Emperor Zhengde's alchemy.

The rest are all useless.
