In Shuzhong, Yan Shang first put pressure on the major families.As an official sent by the central government to inspect, he forcibly demanded that these families who were not short of food and wealth hand over grain and grass to provide the government for disaster relief unconditionally.Under normal circumstances, when the government warehouse is insufficient, these families will be asked to contribute money and efforts.However, Yan Shang was really too much this time, and he actually wanted to pay more than eighty percent of the other party's grain.If such food is paid, the family itself will be affected on a daily basis.The family sent someone to be a lobbyist, saying that it was not that they did not want to share their worries for the country, but that the amount of food demanded by the government was too large, and the family really couldn't pay it.However, Yan Shang was resolute and did not allow them to ignore their beaks at all.For three days in a row, different families sent people to find Yan Shang.In the end, they also invited a respected local patriarch and two Simas in the local official temple to beg Yan Shang not to go so far.At night, a few people were talking dryly in Yanshang's study, and seeing that the young court official was just drinking tea and approving official business, and didn't pay attention to them at all, they secretly felt angry in their hearts, thinking to themselves Who said that this official looked young, so foolish, and easy to talk?
The old patriarch they invited coughed, and the old man coughed so much that he let Yunshu, the little guy who was standing beside Yan Shang grinding ink, look at it.Yunshu came over and asked the old man to sit down, and brought tea and water to relieve the old man's cough.And the owner of Yunshu, Yan Shang, finally raised his face from behind the mountain of official duties, and looked at it with concern: "If the old man is not in good health, he might as well go back early to rest."
A little thing, not to worry about. ”The old patriarch suddenly became angry, and knocked the cane "tuk tuk" sound: "A little thing?
Don't worry about it?!
”Yan Shang said gently: "Otherwise?
”The old patriarch saw that the other party was gentle and delicate, and he looked like a scholar, so he couldn't help but say bitterly: "Yanlang, I'll know."
You're here for disaster relief.Otherwise, we would not have come to such a poor place, a promising Beijing official like you.Yan Lang has been an official in Chang'an since he came, and he is used to seeing the monstrous wealth of the Chang'an family, so he naturally doesn't know how difficult it is for us. ”There is no committal for comment.Seeing that he didn't interrupt, the other party thought that there was still hope, and said more emotionally: "It's a shame to say that we have named ourselves a family, but out of Yizhou, which family in the world recognizes us?"
It is said that we are from Haoyou and have no family background.We also send our children to study, to study the scriptures, and to become officials......
Just to really be in the family."
So Yan Lang may have come here for the first time and thought that we were rich, but this is not the case.We have been honest in Yizhou for a hundred years, and we have never bullied the people.Maybe some ignorant people said something about us in front of Yan Lang, but it was all wrong, we ...... with the people" Yan Shang interrupted: "I am here for disaster relief this time, not to mediate the conflict between you and the people.You don't need to tell me that, do you?
”The old patriarch was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Yan Shang's attitude was kind, he said it back: "Yes, too."
Disaster relief is important, disaster relief is important.What I want to say is......
Yanlang, you are a good official for the sake of the people.But you'll have to give us a way to live, too.Could it be that if we fall, we will be able to feed Yizhou?
Yizhou is very rich......
But Yizhou is so wide, a remote county like ours is really not as good as a county capital."
If Yan Lang has to forcibly requisition food, he will force us to death!
The old man didn't leave tonight, and died directly in front of Lang Jun's door to show his determination!
”As he spoke, the old man stood up, trembling and about to hit the pillar, but a group of young people in the room hurriedly came to stop him, and said again and again, "Lang Jun must not mean this."
Yan Shang was also taken aback by this old patriarch, stood up from behind the bookcase, and came over to check.The old patriarch burst into tears, holding Yan Shang's hand and begging constantly.Yan Shang sighed and asked, "Are you really unable to afford this amount of food?"
”Everyone: "It's really amazing!"
But anyone who can afford it, how can he grit his teeth, how dare he come to Lang Jun again and again to ask for accommodation?
”"However, I have heard that this disaster has not affected you.It is said that you all have good land, I don't know how many acres, how can it not be affected......"
Everyone was excited: "Who said that?!"
Of course it's affecting us!
The disaster was so sudden, and the surplus food in our family was empty early!
If it weren't for the sake of face, we would have sent someone to the government to receive relief food!
”Yan Shang didn't care: "If there is really a shortage of food, you will go to the government to receive it a long time ago."
Now I can cut some of the food from you, which shows that you are not in need......
I'm curious, why wait?
”The crowd was about to explain when the elder patriarch waved everyone to shut up.He took a deep look at Yan Shang, who smiled gently at him.At this time, the old patriarch was thoughtful, and he probably realized what this Lang Jun really wanted.The old patriarch pondered his words: "The reason why we can still hold on until now is because we have bought grain from local wealthy merchants.Although it cost three times more than the market price, but in the end you bought the grain ......"
Yan Shang's voice faded: "You have no grain, how can the rich merchants have grain?"
Even if the merchants are more or less stockpiled, now that the disaster has been going on for several months, the stockpiling should have run out of grain a long time ago.How could there still be?
Brought food?
”The old patriarch cautiously: "They have someone stockpiled grain early, and the merchant has traveled south and north, which is ...... foresight than us" Yan Shang smiled and said: "The disaster happened at the same time, and the merchant reacted faster than everyone?"
If he really has such a great ability, what kind of business is it, I can directly recommend him to the household department. ”The old patriarch sighed.At this point, he had roughly understood what this court official meant.The old patriarch said helplessly: "Then Lang Jun, how do you want us to cooperate with you?"
Is it possible that as long as we cooperate, we can collect less grain?
”Yan Shang: "I just need you to personally identify which merchants still dare to raise the price of grain."
Naturally, I wanted to pay a visit myself and ask how the business had such foresight. ”--By the hands of the family, pull out the merchants who have made a fortune here.The merchant also knew that his move would not be conspicuous, so he did it very secretly.If it weren't for Yan Shang forcing those families to a dead end, those families would definitely not bite out these merchants.As far as I got the list, I saw that among these merchants, the biggest one was the richest man in Yizhou.The richest man also made this kind of national difficult wealth!
So what else is there to say?
Naturally, they have to come to the door with evidence for questioning.The richest man's surname is Chen, known as Chen Gong, and he has also won a good reputation on weekdays, and he not only did not panic about Yan Shang's night visit to the mansion, but also prepared for it.Chen Gong invited Yan Shang to take a seat, and asked his housekeeper to take the account book to Yan Shang to see: "Lang Jun, you see, I have been doing business honestly from beginning to end.I also bought the grain, not me.Selling is also satisfactory to both parties, even if the price is more expensive, but now the situation in Yizhou, is it not a matter of course?
If it had been cheaper, my mansion would have been emptied by those people."
I'm willing to sell, someone is willing to buy.What's wrong with that?
”Yan Shang glanced at the account book he handed over and said, "A month before the disaster began, you started stockpiling grain?"
What kind of grain did you have at that time?
”Chen Gong's expression remained unchanged: "The businessman just smells."

Lang Jun, you haven't been through business, so naturally you don't understand. ”There is no committal for comment.In fact, he really knows a little bit about business routes.First, because he is now in the household department, he will more or less see the methods of some merchants; Part of the reason is his third brother who refused to study since he was a child.His third brother likes to tinker with these since he was a child and make a little money.It can even be said that Yan's father is not good at business, and the Yan family looks good in Lingnan, and it was all made up by Yan Saburo.I'm afraid that if it weren't for the fact that business is the end of the road, and it will affect the livelihood of the scholars in the family, his third brother would have given up literature and gone into business.Yan Shang now looks at these account books, and he can think of how to make money that his third brother used to nag in his ear.Yan Shang said: "In a month, you can't have so much grain.Even if you open a trade route to transport grain to other states and counties, one month is not enough.And the price you bought is much lower than the market price, and you can do this in a month, and I temporarily believe that you have a good way to do business, and you are worthy of the name of the richest man in Yizhou.But the amount is too large for you to do. ”Yan Shang lowered his eyes and counted the accounts in his heart.That Chen Gong was unconvinced: "Lang Jun can't say that I can't do it because he can't do it." ”Yan Shang: "That is, how much you spend, you buy as much grain."
All the right amounts?
”Chen Gong said proudly: "Yes!
The account books are all correct, and there is no bad penny!
Lang Jun, you are checking, and I am also innocent!
”Yan Shang raised his eyelids: "The only possibility that you can do this is that someone secretly notified you a month before the disaster began......
Except for Shu County, the county seat of Yizhou is not well transported, and even if you can find a buyer, it is impossible to transport the grain intact.Don't you need to treat all the local snakes halfway?
Didn't you meet a single bandit along the way?
Could it be that the man who transports the grain, who has never eaten a single grain of food, has been hungry for thirty days, and has brought in the grain and grass for you in good condition?
”Chen Gong was stunned, and wanted to argue for a while, but sweat appeared on his forehead, and he realized that he had made a mistake - he had done the account too perfectly!
Yan Shang slammed the account book and got up to hide his anger: "The only possibility is the grain you bought from the government before the disaster began!"
You've used the government warehouse!
The grain in the warehouse was sold early, and it didn't match the amount early, so it was mixed with water now......
It's just fooling around, begging each other for convenience!"
You, you are so bold!
You knew about the disaster a month ago......
However, he did not report to the imperial court, but did business first in private?!
Where do you put the royal law, do you still have a center in your eyes?
One month before the start of the disaster!
Instead of preparing for how to stop the disaster, you are thinking about how to make the country prosperous.The population of 10,000 households in Yizhou is like child's play in your eyes?
Deserve to be dead?
”After such a big crime was smashed, Chen Gong was immediately covered in cold sweat, and his fat body trembled.He knelt down and cried miserably: "Lang Jun, Lang Jun!
I don't know about that, it has nothing to do with me......
I'm just a businessman, and if someone else wants to sell it, I'll buy it.If someone wants to buy it, I'll sell it!
I'm just making a difference!"
I—I've donated money!
I also donated the food that the government is now providing for disaster relief!
I took the lead in donating with other merchants. ”Yan Shang closed his eyes and had to endure himself.Tell yourself that it's just a businessman, and that you haven't found a bigger ......
He said, "Give up all your surplus food!"
”Chen Gongne raised his head, but he didn't expect Yan Shang to take it lightly: "Lang Jun......
Want to buy food from us?
”Yan Shang looked at him.Chen Gong suddenly reacted that the other party did not want to buy grain, but to requisition it for free.He broke out in a cold sweat, how dare he do such a big thing.He trembled: "Lang Jun, you are cutting off our way of life!"
If we hand it over, we don't know how many of us will lose their families because the money can't keep up......
Lang Jun, you can't tell us to die!
We're just doing business, Lang Jun, you can't force us to death!
Why can't we put ourselves in our shoes?
”Thinking like this, he actually cried while talking: "Usually we are always looked down upon by the world, saying that we only look at money in our eyes.Now it's hard to make a little money, but Lang Jun has to move out......
We work hard to earn money!
We are not the ones who exploit the people!
We have not done anything evil!
It's just buying and selling!
Buying and selling is not a sin!
We don't harm the interests of others, we just earn our own interests, isn't that okay?
Why doesn't Lang Jun think about it for us?
”Yan Shang lowered his head and looked at the fat man who was holding his thighs and crying with snot and tears.He rarely felt disgust in his heart, and said coldly: "You have harmed the interests of the people!"

Yes, you do business from beginning to end, with the family.But if you raise the price of food, won't other prices fluctuate with it?
However, the first grain you bought was from the government......
Isn't the lack of food for disaster relief nothing to do with your original business?
Even if you sell your grain to the people now......
There are a few people who can afford it!"
You've messed up the whole market, and now you're telling me that you're just doing business, you're just making money from the difference, are you innocent?
Yes, from your standpoint, you are innocent.But I can't stand in your shoes!
”Chen Gong cried: "Yan Lang!
Do you have only public and no selfishness in your eyes?
Is it for everyone's sake, do you want to force our small family to death?
Are we not the people?
Don't you have any feelings at all?
Should the merchant die?
”Yan Shang pulled his sleeve out of the other party's hand, he calmed down for a moment, but quickly asked himself not to be affected by Chen Gong.In the eyes of businessmen, they are not wrong.They will even help with disaster relief, give food and money......
I'm afraid that Chen Gong's behavior will be praised by the people as a good person outside.And those who forced Chen Gong to scatter his wealth and confiscate his money like Yanshang will be scolded as a "dog official".The people are foolish.However, as he said, words cannot yet stand in the shoes of businessmen.In the other party's crying, Yan Shang finally said: "I can give you a way to live." ”Kneeling on the ground, Chen Gong immediately looked up with tears on his face.Yan Shang said: "I want to hear from you that a month before the disaster began, which officials in Yizhou knew that the disaster was about to begin.Are you still doing business with officials after the disaster began?
What are the officials who have contacted you......"
Chen Gong sat stunned and was speechless, he suddenly got up and was about to crash into a pillar next to him.Yan Shang was quick, and when the other party rushed out, he was already vigilant.Chen Gong was not killed, but was dragged by Yan Shang's palm.Yan Shang snorted in pain, but he clasped the other party's shoulder, his eyes were like ice and snow and a cold sword.Yan Shang whispered: "I know you are afraid, you dare not say it."
However, either I will take a pot to level all the merchants in Yizhou, or you will listen to me and watch the officials ...... one by one" Chen Gong was terrified: "A lot of people will die!"
”Yan Shang: "Don't worry, I won't do things absolutely."
I can't move the whole of Yizhou, I just need to move some of the most typical officials, it's ......" -- Yan Shang was a threat and a lure to Chen Gong, and finally made the richest man in Yizhou choose to cooperate with him.And with Chen Gong's help, Yan Shang was almost dizzy and his eyes were black when he saw which officials knew about this.Because almost, almost the entire Yizhou, all the officials up and down know it!
Know it all!
No one reported to the center!
Yan Shang gritted his teeth and pondered for two days, and had to admit that he could not move the entire Yizhou.With such a big official gap, he can't move it, and he can't make up for it.For now, the plan is to start with some officials who have not made serious mistakes, let them fight in secret, demote some officials who have committed the most heinous crimes, and push some lower-level officials who still have a conscience to take office......
Late one night in mid-August, Yan Shang went to visit a Sima.
--When Yizhou was changing, the latest thing to talk about in Chang'an City was that the emperor completely divided the Chang'an army into the south and the north.Nanya was still led by the previous general, but the prince arranged some of them; And the Northern Ya was taken back by the emperor, and a eunuch was arranged to stand above all the generals.The eunuchs had no roots and no foundation, so they could only rely on the emperor.The emperor used eunuchs to intervene in the army, so that the originally distinct army was no longer the hall of the king of Qin.And this eunuch was supported by the emperor himself, and the king of Qin did not dare to resist.The Hanmen was unable to suppress the family for the time being, and the emperor was ingenious and actually introduced the eunuch forces.However, at this time, the eunuch power is equivalent to the emperor's power, and it is the emperor's eyeliner in the court.Although these scholars were dissatisfied with working with the eunuchs, there were not many ways to do so except to protest in letters.Among the eunuchs, the most popular one now is Liu Wenji.He controls the Beiya as an envoy of the army, and he has military power in his hands, how many people dare not give him face?"
The wind direction of Chang'an has changed, ah......"
This is what courtiers often sigh recently.However, after all, the emperor is just a small test, such a person as the emperor, he let Liu Wenji take charge of the military power is the extreme, and it is impossible for all affairs to be interfered by eunuchs.Therefore, in addition to sighing, the most discussed among the courtiers was "What kind of character is this Liu Wenji, who can actually control the Beiya?"
King Qin's side should be in a hurry."
King Qin was in a hurry.But the king of Qin had just been released from confinement, and no matter how anxious he was, he was also cautious, and did not provoke Liu Wenji as the world wished, and openly provoked his father.And seeing that the King of Qin did not suppress Liu Wenji, the courtiers were somewhat disappointed.Scholars are naturally born to look down on eunuchs.But there are special cases in the world.For example, Zhao sacrificed wine Zhao Gong.Zhao Gong saw that Liu Wenji was now in charge of the army, and the power was about to be helped up by the emperor himself, Zhao Gong moved his mind.Because Zhao Gong is thinking about climbing up, but after so many years, he is still an idle official with no practice in front of the sacrificial wine.Now the rise of the eunuch power is an opportunity for Zhao Gong.Because everyone in the world looks down on the eunuchs, no one will attach to the eunuchs!
But if Zhao Gong made this first person to be attached......
In the future, Liu Wenji is really a powerful family, and the wealth of the Zhao family will come!
I am more worried, first, whether Liu Wenji can be powerful in the end, the emperor used Liu Wenji to balance the queen of Qin, will he let this eunuch step down without waiting for Liu Wenji to sit down, and second, if a noble family like the Zhao family is the first to attach to the eunuch, it will be rejected and looked down upon by all families.In the future, in the family, the Zhao family may become the target of attack.Zhao Gong was worried for three days, but he still made up his mind - how to be looked down upon by the family?
The most important thing for the Zhao family now is to become a first-class family first!
When the Zhao family has prestige, don't those families still have to be attached to?
It's just that how to surrender to Liu Wenji now?
Liu Wenji's side naturally knew that those scholars looked down on him, but he didn't know that there was another Zhao Chengcheng who scratched his ears and stretched his neck to find an opportunity to cling to him.Liu Wenji now has to hold on to the Beiya and help the emperor completely recover the forces of the Beiya.The emperor wants to cut the forces behind the King of Qin, and Liu Wenji naturally wants to do a good job of the knife in the emperor's hand.One of his opportunities is not easy, how can he back down because of a bad reputation?
However, Liu Wenji didn't expect that when he first met with all the soldiers in Chang'an on behalf of Beiya, he would see a person in the crowd that he didn't want to see.The other party also looked at him stunned, obviously not expecting him to reach today's position.This person is the current general of the right guard, Luo Xiu.That is, the envoy who came to Chang'an for the Wuban before and was actually the Nanban, Luo Xiu.This Luo Xiu made a private deal with Liu Wenji and got the information of Dawei.thought that it could be given to the king of the Southern Barbarians, but Meng Zaishi left Luo Xiu in Chang'an.Fortunately, Luo Xiu later met a black barbarian, Han Shuxing, and asked the other party to go to Nanban to pass on information for him.Luo Xiu himself is in Chang'an, and Chang'an officialdom excludes each other.No official took him seriously, he, the general of the right guard, was just an excuse for Dawei to force him to stay in Chang'an......
Luo Xiu didn't expect that there would be a day to see Liu Wenji again.saw that the little eunuch of that day was now in charge of the army......
Luo Xiu's heart was faintly moved, wondering if the two sides could continue to cooperate and subvert Great Wei?
And Liu Wenji looked at this Luo Xiu, but what he thought in his heart was: I can't let this person live.If this person is alive, his fornication with the Nanban will be discovered.Only if Luo Xiu dies can he be safe.Among the soldiers, Luo Xiu smiled kindly at the white-faced eunuch.Liu Wenji stared at him for a long time, but also showed a smile, and made a friendly gesture - get someone over and kill him.The trouble is that the other party is an official, or a hostage left by the barbarians, it is a bit troublesome to kill, he has to think of a safe way.
--In the East Palace, the prince received news from the Yizhou disaster relief.The news was not sent back by Yan Shang, but through the request sent by the officials of the Ministry of Household and Yizhou - Yan Shang went too far.The prince gritted his teeth: "Lone just let him go to disaster relief!"
Wouldn't he just be able to take care of the disaster?
He is now going to move the entire officialdom of Yizhou?
”The Tobe waiter who came to deliver the news was worried: "This time we sent Yan Erlang to disaster relief, I'm afraid we sent the wrong person."
Yan Erlang is careful and bold, but his heart is too fine......

I'm afraid that if he continues to investigate like this, he will find out a shocking case, and I won't be able to get out of it. ”The prince was silent for a long time.The prince said slowly: "I'm not afraid of the changes in Yizhou's officialdom......
I am afraid that this change will affect the household.With such an important place in the household department, how can Erlang come to Hu?
”Hubu Shilang: "Fortunately, it is September soon, and once the dry season is over, Yan Erlang has no reason to stay in Yizhou......
"The prince whispered: "He moves Yizhou so much, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of Yizhou." ”The two were silent.However, the prince whispered softly: "No, you can't pin your trust on external forces, and you can't pin on the possibility that Yan Suchen is willing to stop......
Yan Suchen's ability, Lone never dared to underestimate it.If Yizhou hadn't swallowed Yan Erlang, and Yan Erlang turned around to deal with the household, it would have been troublesome......
It is imperative to end the disaster relief and send new officials to bring Yan Suchen back!
”--Heavy rain in Chang'an that day.The summer is hot, and even the next rain does not relieve the heat.Twilight shook himself in his princess's mansion and rested, and after eating two slices of chilled green melons, he was informed that the prince and the household servant had come to worship.Twilight was stunned, because it was usually her who went to the East Palace to worship the prince, and this was the first time that the prince actually came to worship her.The prince came in the rain, and when he entered the house, he was also drenched in rain on his shoulders.The household servant was on the side to greet the princess, and the prince didn't have time to tidy up his clothes, so he handed the fold from Yizhou to Twilight.The prince stared at the twilight and shook it: "Yan Shang must be recalled!"
Yizhou officials are now angry, saying that if they stay in Yizhou any longer, their lives may not be guaranteed. ”When Twilight shook this fold, her face was also pale, and she could see that those officials were dissatisfied with Yan Shang.She is also worried about Yanshang's safety......
It's just disaster relief, how can he make such a big noise?
I heard that there are many places in Yizhou that can't be indoctrinated, so it will be very dangerous for Yanshang to be there, right?
Twilight shook her heart and couldn't help but ask the prince, "What does the eldest brother mean?"
”Prince: "I want Yan Shang to come back."
But I'm afraid that this will will not be issued in the Chinese Book Province, because Mr.
Yan Shang is in the Chinese Book Province and will be stuck in this link.Liu Xianggong is dedicated to the world, and there are many students, so he will not care about the safety of Suchen.But I care......
I'm afraid I let Yan Shang come back, and he won't come back."
Then I have to hope to borrow your momentum, little sister, to use it."
Let's just say that you are seriously ill and your life is not guaranteed, let Yan Shang come back to Chang'an, and don't care about Yizhou's affairs anymore!"
We're here to be a good word!
Little sister, you also know what officialdom is like now, no one is really clean......
I can't check it anymore!
”--Wind and rain.In Shu County, Yizhou, several officials gathered together, led by Yizhou Taishou, and what they discussed was - "Words can't be left yet."
If he stays any longer, we will have a big blood change in Yizhou."
Hire the Ranger Bandit and do him." ...
