No matter who you are, no matter how rich you are, as long as you are in Qin, it is all a matter of Xiao Yuan's words.
He is the lord of Qinzhou, how can the merchants not fear him?
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and then the master of the house said:
"Haha, your Excellency is busy with official duties, so you may not know something. Qinzhou's business has undergone earth-shaking changes recently."
"Oh?" Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows, indicating for him to continue.
The man continued: "Since you suppressed the banditry, businessmen from other places have begun to enter Qin frequently. Of course, the flow of commerce is good for everyone, but some businessmen do not follow the rules after entering Qin."
"rule?"
"Yes, it's just like the tea rice a few days ago. It's still eight cents today, but it will be six cents tomorrow. If you follow suit, it will become four cents again, and you won't hesitate to lose money."
"Yes, they control supplies and drive up prices, making the entire Qinzhou business a mess."
"This is still a small one, and the silk brocades are even more chaotic. The prices of various commodities fluctuate. One thing today, another thing tomorrow. People are stopping to wait and see, and they don't dare to buy easily, which leads to the gradual depression of business."
"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Yuan frowned after hearing this.
"Yes, sir, you are the lord of Qinzhou, so you cannot ignore this matter." Someone said.
"What do you think?" Xiao Yuan asked again.
Hearing this, everyone stood up quickly, and then they all bowed and said: "I would also like to ask the master to plan for Qin's business and order the state government to come forward to stop this business chaos..."
"Well..." Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, after I return, I will make this matter my top priority, hold urgent consultations with state officials, and formulate a policy as soon as possible."
"My lord, you can't sit back and ignore Qinzhou's business." Someone thought Xiao Yuan was prevaricating and said hurriedly.
"Huh?" Xiao Yuan waved his hand and said seriously: "Don't worry, Qinzhou's business is of great importance. It is not only related to people's livelihood and economic issues, but more seriously, it is also related to the rise and fall of Qin's policies and politics. How could I ignore it?"
After hearing what he said, people looked at each other again, and then said in unison: "Thank you, Lord Prefect——"
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan waved his hand.
After the banquet, Xiao Yuan returned to the prefect's mansion and immediately called Shangguan Wenruo and said to him: "Go and ask Liu Yuzhi to come back."
For this kind of thing, he really needs someone like Liu Yuzhi.
Fengyang County, a certain village.
Liu Yuzhi was inspecting, and the county magistrate Jiang Yi and several soldiers were following behind.
It is now almost the autumn harvest. Looking at the endless fertile fields in front of him, Liu Yuzhi seems quite satisfied with the results of reclaiming the wasteland. He can’t help but nod his head and say: “Well, judging from the current situation, Fengyang’s grain harvest this year is expected to be among the highest. The leader of all counties in Qin."
As he spoke, he also looked sideways at Jiang Yi and praised sincerely: "Master Jiang, as Fengyang's parents, has personally led the people to create what we are today. His political achievements are obvious. In my opinion, there is hope for the coming year." Gao Sheng."
oops! Hearing this, Jiang Yi was immediately excited and hurriedly bowed down: "My lord, I am so complimentary, and my subordinates are so ashamed. These are all in accordance with the Lord's government order, putting people's livelihood first, and I don't dare to take credit."
"Mr. Jiang is being humble. How a county is governed is closely related to the county magistrate." Liu Yuzhi smiled and said, "Okay, let's go look elsewhere..."
On one side, they were inspecting farmland, and on the other side, in Fengyang City, there was a wealthy family.
Xiao Yuan adopted Liu Yuzhi's advice, abolished the slave-like exploitation system, reclaimed wasteland, and benefited the people. Although he received the support of the people of Qin, he undoubtedly offended the local wealthy owners.
You must know that in the past, these rich men enslaved the people and annexed fertile fields, but now, every family has their own fields, and their interests have also suffered an unprecedented blow.
Right now, Diao Fu was discussing something with the other two wealthy men.
He said with a gloomy face: "Now those untouchables have their own food rations. Our status and interests have been completely destroyed under this policy!"
"Master Diao is right. The past days are gone forever. It's so hateful!" Someone received the message.
"The one who caused all of this is Qin Lord Xiao Yuan! With his order, those untouchables have their lives settled, but what about us! How much have we lost!"
"But he is the lord of Qin, how can we defeat him?"
Hearing this, Diao Fu sneered and said: "We can't fight him, and the prefect's mansion is heavily guarded, so there's no way to do anything, but don't forget, it was not Xiao Yuan who proposed this policy, but Liu Yuzhi! It was with his strong suggestions and advice that the state government promulgated a series of decrees, and he is now in Fengyang!"
"Master Diao, what do you mean..." someone asked in a serious voice.
"Kill him!" Diao Fu said fiercely: "As long as Liu Yuzhi is killed, these policies will be self-defeating."
With such vicious words, the other two people couldn't help but gasp, and someone said tremblingly: "But... but Liu Yuzhi is the governor of Qin, kill... kill him?"
"He is in Fengyang now. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Besides, who knows it was us?" Diao Fu said gloomily.
Hearing this, the two couldn't help but look at each other.
Diao Fu continued: "Don't forget! These are all caused by Liu Yuzhi! He only cares about people's livelihood, people's livelihood! Only those untouchables! How could he ever take us in his eyes! If he doesn't kill him, it's really hard to get rid of the hatred in his heart. !”
Under his repeated encouragement, the other two people also gritted their teeth, and one of them said: "Okay! There is a swordsman in my house. If he can get close, he will definitely kill him with one sword!"
Liu Yuzhi was observing the sentiments of the people in various villages in Fengyang. Who would have thought that three rich men were trying to kill him!
What Diao Fu said was actually not wrong. Killing Liu Yuzhi would indeed solve their current problems, or at least delay a series of policies.
Liu Yuzhi was Xiao Yuanmin's reliance on internal affairs. He knew everything about the entire Qin Dynasty, whether it was money, food, taxes, or people's livelihood.
If he really dies, then Xiao Yuan's side may be disconnected from the overall situation, and people's livelihood policies will be left without anyone in charge.
The previous series of policy reforms had seriously damaged the interests of the powerful. To put it bluntly, between the rich and the common people, Xiao Yuan chose the common people.
Of course, since he has soldiers in his hands, he naturally needs the support of the people. This is also the point of view Liu Yuzhi put forward to him.
The next day, Liu Yuzhi had arrived in other villages, still accompanied by Jiang Yi, and the two were talking together.
At this moment, a man wearing coarse linen clothes walked over quickly.
