Of course, he was not the only local official who behaved like prefect Gu Jiantong, there were also some local officials from other coastal areas.
They took advantage of the sea ban and cleverly implemented a plan to achieve their goal of earning money.
For this kind of local officials, they only have gold and silver in their eyes, and they don't care about the lives of the people at all.
For example, local officials in Yu'an Mansion in Nanyu Province, which is close to the sea, wanted to make a lot of money by using the sea ban, but the people saw through it.
Yu'an Mansion is similar to Liangcheng Mansion in Guangnan Province, but in terms of the area involved, it is the county under the jurisdiction of Yu'an Mansion.
Although all the counties in Liangcheng Prefecture of Guangnan Province participated, the difference was that some of the county towns in Liangcheng Prefecture had been captured by Chunxu and his rebels earlier.
Therefore, in terms of the area of participation in this project, Yu'an Prefecture in Nanyu Province is still larger, and all the magistrates of Yu'an Prefecture have participated.
However, Yu'an Mansion in Nanyu Province is closer to the capital, so it knows about the lifting of the sea ban much earlier than Liangcheng Mansion in Guangnan Province.
In addition, the plans of the two prefects are not the same.
In comparison, the plan of Gu Jiantong, the prefect of Liangcheng Prefecture, was much better. He immediately thought of the idea of making money on the night when he posted the news that the sea ban was lifted, while the prefect of Yu'an Prefecture in Nanyu Province only came up with the idea a few days after he posted the news of the lifting of the sea ban. The idea of making money came up, so it was more difficult for the prefect of Yu'an Prefecture in Nanyu Province to successfully implement the plan.
No, not long after the plan started, it was discovered by the common people. One by one, they spread the word, and then the common people in Yu'an Mansion learned about it.
From word to word, the news spread to surrounding prefectures and counties.
It soon aroused the anger of the people, and the news spread to the capital.
"I have something important to see my benefactor, please let me know."
Right Prime Minister Yang Youcheng stood in front of the gate of Su Mansion, looking at his face as if there was something urgent.
There was a lot of contact, and the two guards in front of the Su Mansion saw that it was Yang Youcheng, the right prime minister, and did not ask any more questions.
"Hold on right, Prime Minister, I'll go right now." After saying this, the government servant hurried into the mansion and disappeared.
While waiting, a gentle breeze blew over, blowing the hair on the head of Right Minister Yang Youcheng.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, it can be clearly seen that some of the hair is already white.
It seems that Yang Youcheng, the Right Prime Minister, has been working hard on state affairs recently.
After a while, the yamen servant who just came over hurriedly and looked at Right Minister Yang Youcheng: "Right Minister, my master has invited you."
"Okay." After responding, Yang Youcheng adjusted his clothes a little and then took steps towards the Su Mansion.
Since Right Prime Minister Yang Youcheng often came here, and because Right Prime Minister Yang Youcheng didn't like to be guided by others, Yang Youcheng went to Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi alone.

Go to the study room.
In this huge mansion, you can know without asking, just by guessing, that the study is where Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi spends his time most.
After arriving at the door of the study, Right Prime Minister Yang Youcheng called out: "My benefactor."
After hearing the sound, Su Yunqi, the busy left prime minister, raised his head and looked at the study door. When he saw the figure of right prime minister Yang Youcheng, he said: "Come in."
Right Prime Minister Yang Youcheng also walked into the study after hearing this "Enter".
"Sit down." After saying this, Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi put down everything in his hands and looked at Right Prime Minister Yang Youcheng.
Su Yunqi knew that Yang Youcheng could come to the Su Mansion to look for him. He would only come if there was something important, or if he came to see him for something, or if he received an invitation from himself. He would not take the initiative to come when nothing happened. of.
This time, Su Yunqi didn't send him any invitation, nor did he want to see him for anything.
Of course, Yang Youcheng came here on his own, so coming here was nothing more than an important matter.
After seeing Right Minister Yang Youcheng sitting on the wooden chair, Su Yunqi hurriedly asked: "You are here...but what is important?"
After listening to his benefactor's words, as soon as he sat down and his buttocks were still warm, Yang Youcheng, the right minister, stood up hurriedly, took a few steps forward with the letter in his hand.
"My dear friend, please read this letter."
"good."
Looking at the letter handed over by Yang Youcheng, Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi took it with great interest, opened the letter, and read it.
Seeing that his benefactor was still watching, Yang Youcheng sat back in his seat.
Looking at this letter, Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi was very calm and calm at first. Halfway through, his face became a little angry.
"That's unreasonable!"
Su Yunqi shouted and put down the letter in his hand in anger.
Looking at Right Minister Yang Youcheng sitting on the chair in front of him, Su Yunqi asked: "When did you receive this letter?"
Hearing his benefactor's question, Yang Youcheng hurriedly answered: "Back to Prime Minister Zuo, I just received it. I will come to see you after reading this letter."
After hearing this, Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi frowned. After taking a sip of tea on the table, Su Yunqi noticed that Yang Youcheng had not been given any tea.
"Here comes someone!" Su Yunqi shouted.
After hearing the sound, the servants of the Su family hurried over and looked at the master without saying anything.
"Bring some more tea to Yang Xiang."
"yes."
While adding tea, thinking about what was written in the letter, Su Yunqi asked his right minister Yang Youcheng for his idea: "Look, how should this be done?"
After thinking for a moment, Yang Youcheng said: "My lord, I think this is the case." Halfway through, Yang Youcheng reorganized his words and said: "Some time ago, all the governors of Damo were...
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Went to fight with those rebellious people, but they were all defeated. The newly appointed governor of Nanyu Province has only been in office for a while. This letter seems to make some sense, but I don’t think this matter can be convicted based on one word. In my opinion, it is better to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigate the matter. It is reasonable and well-founded. , to convince the public. "
After listening to these words and thinking about it, it seems to make some sense.
"Who do you think is appropriate to send? Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu?"
Yang Youcheng nodded: "This matter belongs to him."
"Okay." Su Yunqi responded. After a while, Su Yunqi expressed his thoughts on the matter in the letter: "Right Minister, do you think this matter will be a little simple? "
"What does Engong mean, not only in An Mansion but also in other places?" Yang Youcheng guessed.
Su Yundi nodded, picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and said: "This prefect can convince all the magistrates in the counties under his jurisdiction. This is not strange. What is strange is, how can it be so?" Not a single county magistrate objects?"
After listening to his benefactor's words, Yang Youcheng was very calm and said: "This is a huge profit, so naturally no one will object."
After listening, Su Yunqi sighed and said: "I know about this, so let's ask Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, to check it first, and then think about the rest carefully."
"Okay." Right Prime Minister Yang Youcheng responded.
After a long time, looking at my benefactor and saying nothing, Right Minister Yang Youcheng stood up: "Since my benefactor has nothing to ask, then... Yang will leave first."
"good."
After watching Right Minister Yang Youcheng move away, Su Yunqi began to think randomly in his mind.
I was thinking about it, and unknowingly, I suddenly thought of what Emperor Dechang said during a court meeting the first year of Dechang, "With your joint efforts, I believe that in a few years, this country will be even more prosperous."
When he thought of these words, how he looked like Da Mo now, and how he was now a high-ranking prime minister, Prime Minister Zuo, who was inferior to one person and surpassed ten thousand people, Su Yunqi suddenly felt a little ashamed of being an emperor in the harem.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yunqi stood up.
"Lu Huan!"
"Lu Huan!"
After hearing the sound, Lu Huan hurried over.
"Master, do you have any important orders?" Lu Huan asked.
"Prepare the car and go to Ding Mansion."
Butler Lu Huan responded: "Hey."
After getting on the carriage and on the way to Ding Mansion, Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi had been wondering whether the current situation of Da Mo would be like that in Yu An Mansion.
For now, Su Yunqi no longer has to worry about food and drink. He doesn't have to worry about having whatever he wants in the Su Mansion. However, he is worried about today's Da Mo.
If it had been during the Hongdao period just now, Su Yunqi wouldn't be as worried as he is today. What he was worried about at that time was just food and clothing for his family and his family.
