After reading this bamboo slip, Du He and Zhang Cang both showed a hint of surprise.
Zhang Cang said: "Mr. Zhong is really a capable person. He only questioned five people, but he found out the whereabouts of all the salt and iron. He is really proficient in the art of attacking the mind."
Du He smiled and said: "Now that the whereabouts of Salt and Iron are known, the crisis in Guanzhong has been resolved."
"What do you want, Master?"
Fusu smiled, took back the bamboo slips, and said, "I don't have much idea about this, so I would like to ask you two for some advice."
"I wonder if you two have any specific suggestions for quelling the public anger in Guanzhong?"
One word fell.
Zhang Cang became interested immediately.
Du He's eyes were blurry, as if he hadn't heard this.
Fusu looked at the two people with different expressions in front of him, his expression didn't change much, he was still very calm.
He actually has a plan in mind.
At this time.
Du He cupped his hands and said, "Master, please explain the situation first."
"After all, we know very little about the whole matter, and we still need the young master to give us some direction."
Fusu took a deep look at Du He and said directly without any further hesitation: "In my opinion, the government should take action later to raise standards and alleviate public anger."
Zhang Cang followed: "Right now, the local public is very excited, and it is up to the young master to resolve the matter."
"At least explain this."
"also."
But before Zhang Cang could continue, Du He spoke directly and interrupted Zhang Cang's words. Du He held his hand, glanced at Zhang Cang indifferently, and chuckled: "Zhang Yushi is a little too impatient. I don’t think what Zhang Yushi said is correct.”
Zhang Cang frowned.
Du He's eyes were slightly closed, with a ray of light in his eyes, and he said calmly: "I think it should be resolved in the name of His Majesty."
“And the first thing to do is not to do things.”
"But it sets the tone!"
"Just like Mr. Zhong said."
"Nothing can be done without rules. Only when rules are set can things be done easily."
"After all, this matter involves several government agencies and cannot be handled hastily. Once there is a problem with the connection, it will easily cause other reactions, which may be counterproductive. Therefore, setting the tone for each government agency in advance is probably the top priority. .”
Hear the words.
Zhang Cang's heart moved slightly.
He took a deep look at Du He, and a shadow flashed across his plump white cheeks.
He cursed in his heart that he is a good man.
Du He clearly had an idea in his mind, but he kept silent in front of him. When he opened his mouth, he interrupted loudly. This completely tricked himself, but he also knew in his heart that because there were only three people in the room, the long The young master cannot offend himself, he can only offend himself.
Just being tricked like this makes me feel a little unhappy.
Du He didn't take Zhang Cang's black face seriously at all. He continued: "This matter involves the entire Guanzhong. The eldest son's prestige is not enough, so it is necessary to borrow your majesty's reputation. Only in this way can the officials and the people be convinced." , and you can get twice the result with half the effort.”
Fusu nodded slightly in recognition.
Du He continued: "The specific operations vary from government office to government office and cannot be generalized."
“So set the tone in advance.”
"Before the government takes action, the tone in Guanzhong should be mixed."
"All kinds of sounds came out."
"When the local turmoil is at its strongest, the imperial court can let out its voice to calm down the local emotions. However, it cannot be too much at this time. It should be slowed down for a period of time. Only a slight relaxation can make the local government gradually trust the government. To be able to handle it and finally make a decision, to be precise, we hope that the government will handle it."
"So before the government officially takes action."
"Be patient!"
"Only by slowing down can we achieve the effect."
"When the people's expectations for the government reach their highest, Master, you can officially come forward. However, in the early stage, you just claimed to solve it, but don't rush to take action. Instead, you can temper the temper of the bottom class. When the bottom class can no longer hold back, Master, then Attack with thunderous means.”
"And the tone at this time is 'fast'!"
"Cut the knot with a sharp knife."
"Use the power of thunder to quickly wipe out the ugly ones."
"At this time, the Yushi Mansion will punish corrupt officials as quickly as possible, and the Tingwei Mansion will also issue an order announcing an increase in the sales standards of salt and iron. In addition, it will begin to severely crack down on relevant merchants, and a multi-pronged approach will be adopted to The purpose is to refresh the people and see the swiftness of the court's methods."
"Further deepen people's trust in the government."
"at the same time."
"Master, you should announce the recruitment of salt workers and blacksmiths in the Guanzhong area."
"Formal announcement of intervention."
"When the local people are excited about the previous events, the government should not take any further action. When the people's excitement is over, they start to worry about the salt and iron issues again. The young master comes forward again, and the government provides a large amount of salt and iron to the local area before spring plowing, and then completely sits down. Real government capabilities."
“Only in this way can we achieve the best layout effect this time.”
"Save the people's hearts and minds in one fell swoop."
Finished.
Du He bowed to Fusu.
Zhang Cang said nothing, his face still dark.
Du He's thoughts were so clear, he might have thought about it secretly a long time ago, but he kept silent all the time. He was really a cunning person.
Fusu nodded.
He also quite agrees with Duch's ideas.
A combination of fast and slow.
When the government is not doing anything, everything should be slowed down. When the government is really doing something, everything is handled at a very fast pace, which will give people a strong contrasting feeling, which will then deepen the world's trust in the court and at the same time establish the prestige of the court.
The imperial court either does not take action, or once it takes action, it must achieve immediate results.
One slow and one fast, one slow and one fast.
Always playing with the public's emotions in the midst of applause.
Then achieve the goal.
Fusu took a deep look at Du He and had a deeper understanding of what Ji Heng said.
Ji Heng mentioned it when he left.
Not all officials in Da Qin were mediocre.
Quite the opposite, even.
They are very capable, even cunning.
It's just that these people know how to be officials. Generally, they will never be in the limelight, and they will never put forward their opinions rashly. Only when things are relatively clear, or the situation has been determined, will these people stand up and speak righteously. to publish high-level remarks.
Do things beautifully.
It's done perfectly.
Now in Du He, it is obviously fulfilled.
Before he got the bamboo slips about the whereabouts of salt and iron, Du He looked like he was in a fugue. Although he would mention a few words from time to time, he was in a daze most of the time. However, every time he spoke, he could get to the point, but he always got it right. That's the point, don't get involved too much.
There are many such officials in the court.
To this.
Fusu also felt a little headache.
However, he did not think too much about it and just said: "According to Shaofu Du's opinion, what tone should be set by Tingwei's Mansion, Shaofu Mansion, and Yushi Mansion?"
Du He smiled, stretched his beard, and said: "The young master's office should be hidden from the outside world, the Tingwei's house should be punished, and the censor's house should be strict."
"Internally, make arrangements in advance."
"Just wait until things progress and implement them step by step."
"Young Master is still fine."
“Just coordinate matters related to salt and iron.”
"Not many people will come forward, and basically they won't speak out."
"Because the Tingwei Mansion wants to be 'punished', it cannot be 'quick'. When the time is extended, the officials of the Tingwei Mansion will be punished. As for the Yushi Mansion, it only needs to bring the relevant criminals to justice. However, when it comes to When we get to Tingwei's Mansion, we have to take it easy."
"Young Master needs to understand."
"The imperial court's external relations are different from the imperial court's domestic relations."
"External relations need to be swift."
“Internally, we have to take into account a lot of situations.”
"The former 'slow speed' is for the outside world, to show others, and does not even require much evidence. It is all about calming the public's anger, while the latter request for the three governments is internal, for officials, so it should be treated with caution. Be careful, all convictions should be based on evidence. If there is no evidence, it will not be established, let alone rashly convicting."
Hear the words.
Fusu's heart moved slightly.
He looked at Du He deeply.
I gained some clarity.
He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Du, for reminding me. Fusu has learned a lesson."
Du He nodded and said: "Young Master, don't blame me for talking too much. I am old and will retire soon. You have made great progress now. This is the blessing of the Qin Dynasty and the world. However, it is better than just now." It is easy to break, and haste makes waste. As for matters related to the court, you should think twice and carefully, and don't make a mistake because of your impatience."
"It might be counterproductive then."
Finished.
Du He bowed to Fusu.
Fu Su quickly said: "Fu Su will keep it in mind."
Du He nodded slightly and said: "Young Master has made up his mind now, so I will retire first. Since things are getting tough this year, I can only choose to do it in advance to avoid things going wrong."
Finished.
Du He bowed again and left.
From beginning to end.
Du He didn't even look at Zhang Cang, as if Zhang Cang didn't even bother him.
Zhang Cang's mouth twitched slightly at Du He's indifference.
He believed that he had never offended Du He, so why did Du He come to target him?
Is it because he was too ruthless in investigating the case?
Just when Zhang Cang was suspicious, Fusu took out another bamboo slip.
Zhang Cang quickly regained his concentration, took the bamboo slip in his hand, then slowly spread it out and read it seriously.
Finished reading.
Zhang Cang's eyes showed a hint of joy.
On the bamboo slips is a list of officials from major government offices who have colluded with salt and iron merchants.
There are hundreds of people.
"Sir, this..." Zhang Cang asked curiously.
Fusu said: "Mr. Zhong asked the merchants to recruit him."
Hear the words.
Zhang Cang also sighed with emotion and said: "Mr. Zhong's methods are really amazing. Not only did he find out the whereabouts of the salt and iron, he also forced the merchants to recruit these officials. Now that the government has these two bamboo slips, many things will be much easier to handle." .”
Fusu frowned slightly.
He also said: "Yes, Mr. Zhong's talent is really amazing."
"This salt and iron incident took place in less than ten days, and now it has actually been resolved. We are just waiting for the public anger to be finally quelled."
Zhang Cang pondered for a moment and whispered, "I'm afraid it's more than that."
"This time the government has almost taken possession of all the salt and iron, and the money and food that can be harvested from it is too much."
"After the subsequent investigation of the major salt merchants and iron merchants, the government was able to confiscate a large amount of money. This time, the government has made a huge profit, which is enough to compare with the commercial tax in the past six months."
Hear the words.
Fusu's heart moved.
He actually didn't think that deeply.
After Zhang Cang reminded him, he suddenly woke up.
The court got money again!
Under Ji Heng's management, in just a few months, the imperial court had made a lot of money. Even if you look at the world, this amount of money is an astonishing amount.
The victims from beginning to end were businessmen.
Because I got up late today and went down to move for the last time, I was delayed a little longer. The official update of 10,000 words will start tomorrow, rush, rush.
