Chapter 238: Xu Shu's asking price


Xu Shu's Xu family mansion is located in the west of Moling City, the area is not large, a two-in, two-out house, the population of the Xu family is not much, Xu Shu is still an old mother, a few years ago after he settled down in Moling, he sent someone from Yingchuan to take over, and live for a long time.

The two mothers and sons of the Xu family, plus a housekeeper from the teacher Cai Yong's family, as well as a few maids and a few maidservants, formed a simple Xu family.

In the evening, Xu Shu had a busy day, and after the sun had completely set, he dragged his tired body back home from the county office.

In a year's time, Xu Shu also began to gradually become familiar with everything in officialdom, from the mind of a ranger to a field where everything is blocked.

In any era, not people who can read will be officials, officials have been the management of the people since ancient times, superior to others, and the official has two mouths, so officialdom has always been a place of right and wrong, and has its own set of rules.

Xu Shu, who entered the officialdom at the beginning, has too much discomfort with everything in the officialdom.

From the recklessness at the beginning to the adaptation now, he knows one thing very well, even if he is born smart, even if he has a strong backer, if he can't integrate into the officialdom, he can't be an official.

Fortunately, his receptivity is also very strong, in just one year, under the guidance of the former county commander Fan Lin, he began to gradually accept the scale of officialdom, such as dealing with the county lieutenant Xu Mu, dealing with these local powerful forces, he can directly use his background, mobilize the power of the county guard, and wipe out these people in one nest, but if this is the case, then the county government of Moling will not obey him.

If you want to be an official, you must learn to compromise and learn to do everything step by step.

"Grain" It was already dark, and in the study on the west side of the Xu family's mansion, an oil lamp was lit, and under the faint light, Xu Shu knelt quietly on the bamboo mat, his eyes were a little deep.

Now it is food for him, without food, tens of thousands of displaced people in Moling City will not survive, facing the problem of survival, these displaced people may collapse at any time, and it is inevitable that they will take risks at that time, and good people will become bandits.

Once the people become bandits, Moling City will inevitably be in chaos, which is not the scene Xu Shu wants to see.

"It's not okay to hand over this group of displaced people, this group of people who have gathered with great difficulty will be the foundation of Jinling City in the future, if it is handed over, Zhongmou will definitely be furious, this is not good" Xu Shu knew that although Xu Mu was indeed uneasy and kind, what the chief secretary Zhao Hong said was a fact, if there was no more food, this group of homeless people would have to be released.

It's not that there is no food in Moling City, it's just in the hands of those local powerful families, and now the market price of Moling has been four hundred and fifty yuan per stone of rice, which is a big price higher than before.

The county government has already run a deficit, and even if it is the original market price, there is no financial support, let alone this high price.

But it is not possible to hand it over, this is the basis for the future development of Jinling City, and now the city wall of Jinling has been connected to the stone city, and the city wall in the southeast is expanded, forming a huge Jinling City.

"So-and-so's heart is still too anxious, and the steps are still too big, so that in the end, the food can't keep up."

Xu Shu sighed and reviewed himself in a low voice, this year, he almost collected nearly 80,000 homeless, and the food used by these homeless people every day was an astronomical amount.

"Son, you've not been in good spirits lately, isn't there something tricky" At this time, an old woman took a bowl of clear soup, gently pushed open the door, and walked into the study.

Mother Xu is a strong person, as a person, to raise Xu Shu by sewing and mending, she has not read many books, but she understands the righteousness.

"Mother, the child is fine, it's just that I've been a little busy with official business recently, which makes my mother worried."

When Xu Shu saw his mother walk in, he quickly stood up, smiled slightly, and said respectfully.

"Son, everything must be done slowly, not in a hurry" The old woman understood the righteousness, knowing that her son was now shouldering the livelihood of a county, and did not say anything, just gently admonished, and then walked out.

"Take your time" Xu Shu smiled bitterly, he thought, but he was in too much of a hurry before, and now he can't be busy, Sun Quan will arrive in Moling in two days, if Sun Quan can't keep this group of displaced people before he arrives, his task will be a complete failure.

Fledgling, Moling County Cheng was his first official position, the teacher raised filial piety for him, Sun Quan trusted him so much, he absolutely did not allow himself to fail.

"Who" Suddenly, Xu Shu's eyes were cold, and he felt a bad aura approaching in his heart, as a former ranger, although his swordsmanship was not outstanding, but it was not bad, he pulled out a long sword at the desk with his backhand, pointed to a black shadow in the window, and said coldly.

"Under the command of Gongzi Quan, the left guard Han Gang visited Xu Xiancheng."

A black shadow walked in lightly, revealing a sturdy figure under the light, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a face full of anger.

"What proof do you have for Zhongmou's guard" Xu Shu squinted his eyes and took a step back, the long sword in his hand still on guard.

"Xu Xiancheng, don't be afraid, a certain family has no malice, a certain family came this time, it was to pass on the son's words."

Han Gang took out a bronze medal from his waist, and on the bronze medal was a tiger character, and said softly.

"It turns out that what did the Hushi under the car say" Xu Shu had never seen Han Gang, but he recognized the Hushi token under the car, and the Hushi under the car was Sun Quan's army, and everyone in Jiangdong knew it.

"Gongzi is now in the prison of Moling County, and Xu Ming, the sister-in-law of Moling County Lieutenant, was personally sent to the prison, Gongzi asked me to tell you that he will be in prison for one night, if you can't take the land of the Xu family, he will take you down" Han Gang left such a sentence, and then disappeared into the night like a ghost.

"The Great Prison" "What's going on?"

"The Xu family actually dared to send this great god to the Moling Prison" Xu Shu was a little stunned, and only reacted after half a ring, a sharp light crossed his eyes, and he laughed in a low voice, and said, "Hahaha, the Xu family is really self-inflicted."

"This time the Xu family is unlucky, capture the thief and capture the king, as soon as the Xu family falls, the entire local powerful forces in Moling will collapse, worthy of Sun Quan, as soon as Moling comes, the whole game of chess will be revitalized."

Xu Shu was overjoyed in his heart, tidied up his clothes, and left the Xu family's mansion directly, and went to the county office, although Sun Quan only left such a sentence, but he must clearly understand what happened before deciding how to go next.

Sun Quan, a noble son in Jiangdong, is willing to go to the gloomy and dirty prison, if he can't take advantage of this, he will be the one who will bear Sun Quan's anger at that time.

In the middle of the night, the county government in Moling was brightly lit and the figures flickered, and the officials of the entire county government were all called back from the warm bed by Xu Shu, the county government sent by the county government.

"Xu Xiancheng, what is the matter, you have to summon it in the middle of the night" Xu Mu was half asleep, his temper was in his heart, he was a little angry, and his eyes looked at Xu Shu coldly.

"Of course there is a big matter, Xu County Lieutenant is not in a hurry" Xu Shu smiled faintly, looked at everyone, and said: "The new county commander has arrived in Moling City, as the officials of Moling, shouldn't we go to greet it in person?"

"What" "The prefectural order is here" "How can this be" Xu Shu's words directly dispelled the drowsiness of all the officials, and they suddenly woke up one by one, staring at Xu Shu with bright eyes.

"Xu Xiancheng, the county order is here, why haven't we received any news at all" Zhao Hong, the chief bookkeeper, was also a little shocked, took a deep breath, and asked.

"The county magistrate originally wanted to see how the environment of Moling was in advance, so he came to Moling in advance to inspect it" Xu Shu still had a lot of respect for Zhao Hong, and analyzed softly, and said, "I just entered the city today." ” "Where is the county magistrate now?"

an official became energetic and asked, "I should go and greet him in person."

"In the prison," Xu Shu said with a smile.

"What" "The Great Prison" "What's going on" Everyone was shocked, and they all felt a chill in their hearts, looking at Xu Shu with dead eyes, and they were puzzled, and Xu Mu's heart was even more cold, and he was a little uneasy.

"This is to ask the county lieutenant Xu" The corners of Xu Shu's mouth outlined a sneer, turned his head, looked at Xu Mu indifferently, as if looking at a dead man, and said coldly: "The Moling Xu family, known as the king of Moling, even dared to send the Moling County Commander who was personally appointed by the General's Mansion to the prison, which is really amazing." ” "Xu Shu, you dare to spew blood" Xu Mu heard this, his face changed in shock, he got erect, shouted, pointed at Xu Shu, and shouted coldly, Moling is the Moling of Jiangdong, and his Xu family can't afford to bear this charge.

"Hehe, there is no habit of wronging people, what is recorded in this file is what happened in Qingyang Chidao today, 1510, no leakage, I have already controlled the human and material evidence, your good son Xu Ming and your henchman Cao Xu Bin joined forces to send the new county commander directly into the prison, see for yourself."

Xu Shu took an hour to set up a case on this matter, and there were at least five handprints pressed by passers-by on this file, plus the Mo family in prison, if the Xu family did not compromise this time, they would be uprooted justifiably.

"Son of Evil" When Xu Mu heard this, he trembled, spread out the file, and when he saw it, his face was like ashes, there was no blood at all, and he was as pale as paper.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, our new county commander in Moling, surnamed Sun, name and power, and the word Zhongmou."

Xu Shu grinned, and Shi Shiran added.

"Poof" Xu Mu was angry, a mouthful of blood sprayed down directly, and he couldn't even stand on his body, and put the new county commander in prison, at most, it was just an official position that he lost, and he could get by with a little compensation, after all, the Xu family was the first powerful in Moling, and if the new county commander wanted to stand firm in Moling, things couldn't be done too much, and the Xu family could still stand.

But if the new county commander is Sun Quan, things will be different, the son of Jiangdong Quan, the second son of the Zhengdong General's Mansion, is famous in Jiangdong, and he also controls a lot of soldiers and horses.

"Is Sun Quan the son of Quan?"

"The new prefectural order is the right son" When the Moling officials heard this, they were also shocked, their eyes widened, and they looked at Xu Shu in disbelief.

Xu Shu walked into Xu Mu's side lightly, and whispered into Xu Mu's ear: "As soon as the morning dawns, I will lead the officials of Moling County to greet the county commander, do you want to go?"

"How do you want" Xu Mu gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice.

"Your official position can be retained, but ninety percent of all the fields under the name of the Xu family will be given to the county government for free, and the county government will take over the four granaries of the Xu family in the city."

Xu Shu's voice was flat, but it was like a demon in Xu Mu's ears.

"Impossible" Xu Mu's heart was dripping blood, and if the food was gone, it would be gone, but if the field was gone, the Xu family would have no foundation to stand on, and his face would become hideous.

"Then tomorrow you will wait for the Xu family to be destroyed" Xu Shu said coldly: "The butcher's knife of Gongzi Quan, even the Jiangdong family can't stop it, I don't know if your Xu family can watch it."

"You" Xu Mu's face was pale, and his eyes were cold and helpless.

"Now there are two hours before dawn, you think about it, tomorrow morning, a certain will be waiting for you in front of the door of the Moling Prison, you decide for yourself whether you come or not" Xu Shu returned to his position, looked at the officials of Moling County, and said indifferently: "Everyone, if it is dark today and it is not appropriate to act, tomorrow morning, I will go to the prison to ask the county lord for guilt." ” t1706231537:
