Crossing Wu Dalang starts from selling cakes

Chapter 399 Duke Wei's Thoughts!

Zhizhou looked shocked. Hearing what he said, the King of Yan was going to attack Duke Wei, who had a title!
You know, even if Duke Wei is hereditary, he is not an ordinary person.

It's hard to move.

He also saw that the king of Yan was serious and would never be soft on those who violated the law.

From what happened just now, it can be seen that King Yan is a very ruthless person.

But yes, how can you manage Yanyun if you are not ruthless, how can you become the King of Yan.

The Zhizhou man is also happy in his heart. If he can follow such a King Yan, as long as he does not make mistakes and does well, he will have a bright future in the future!

Now that he is the Zhizhou, he is actually quite satisfied.

Of course, all of this had to hold tightly to King Yan's thigh.

Time passed slowly...

When this was resolved, Wu Zhi set off for the Tianjin Mansion.

This place is also the place where Wu Zhixiang officials suggested to move the capital in the past. It is called Xijin Mansion, and it is also the future capital in history.

Of course, not yet.

In the future, Wu Zhi will use this place as the capital for operation, so he has to discuss it with Song Huizong.

There are too many things to do now, and he can't take care of them for the time being.

This is the former Xijing, and there are many buildings that are still very atmospheric.

Wu Zhi came here with a large group of people.

Now Yan Yun belongs to Wu Zhi, he is the biggest king here, and he can go anywhere without hindrance.

Standing next to Wu Zhi is Zhizhou, who was promoted by Wu Zhi's Secretary of Government Affairs.

As King Yan, any official here has the right to serve.

Wu Zhi came here without much fanfare, and the only person who knew about it was Zhizhou.

Zhizhou saw Wu Zhi respectfully and reported some situations here.

Wu Zhi didn't act rashly, but first understood clearly.

Just when Wu Zhi understood the situation.

at the same time.

In the depths of a very tall mansion in Jin Mansion.

This used to be the place of a certain prince, but now it has become the mansion of the Duke.

It was the mansion of Shi Xun, Duke of Wei of the Shi Kang family.

The average person cannot live in such a place.

In the depths of the mansion, in a room, there is a barbecue.

Several people sat together to cut the mutton and put some condiments on it.

Not only is the room warm, but the roasted whole lamb is also full of aroma, and there are good wines and delicacies on the table.

The few people ate to keep their bodies warm, and they couldn't feel the icy cold outside at all.

Just then, a person came to the door.

A servant came over to report: "My lord, Zhou Hong is here!"

Shi Xun, the head of the state of Wei, ate some more mutton, chewed it in his mouth, and said slowly, "Let him in!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, a man walked in.

After Zhou Hong became a hero, he now also has a title. Although he is an earl, he is not an ordinary person.

And his official position is to appease the envoy, managing the local military in some states and counties.Still have little authority.

"See Duke Wei!" Zhou Hong said with a smile after he came in.

Shi Xun nodded: "Brother Zhou came just in time, come and give me a seat! The mutton has just been roasted, so you can eat it too!"

Zhou Hong was more respectful, and bowed again. Although he is an earl, nobles are also divided into levels. In front of ordinary people, he is a nobleman, but in front of Duke Wei, he is much younger.

After Zhou Hong sat down, he was not in the mood to eat, but said softly: "Duke Wei, have you ever heard about the matter in Yunzhou?"

Shi Xun paused: "Are you talking about King Yan? Of course I know about it. He killed someone from Duke Wei of our country. Hehe, he just killed it for me to see. Dare to kill meritorious ministers, you and I have titles, what are you afraid of?
He only dared to kill a small official of the fifth or sixth rank.Although this Yanyun is his fief, but with the title, he can't just kill him if he wants to. "

Zhou Hong: "But that King Yan is carrying the Qingtian Three Guillotine!"

Zhou Hong was still a little scared.

Shi Xun shook his head, and ate the mutton very calmly: "Even Bao Zheng in the past had the Qingtian Three Guillotines and was just and selfless. How many people died under the dragon-headed guillotine and the tiger-headed guillotine?"

"Hehe, the people who King Yan killed me just wanted to frighten us, but they didn't dare to do anything to me!"

"What kind of new law did he implement in Yanyun to suppress our group of people, but before the princely reform, was it successful?

Too naive, harming the interests of scholar-bureaucrats, if he wants to implement it, it will be extremely difficult! "

"He killed these people just to frighten and beat him. He wants us to listen to him, but I'm not a vegetarian!"

While speaking, Shi Xun cut off a piece of mutton leg and chewed it in his mouth: "Brother Zhou, you can eat it too, this is a newborn lamb calf, it tastes fresh and tender!"

Zhou Hong could only cut a piece of meat to taste, but it was tasteless: "I heard that King Yan has arrived at our residence!"

Shi Xun shook his head: "I already knew about this matter, but we didn't do anything, what can he do?"

Zhou Hong said solemnly: "Duke Wei, I just got the news that King Yan has opened a treasury here, intending to use the food here to help the victims in the surrounding areas, but the food in this treasury is limited after all. It's too late to supply outside, I'm afraid many people will die!"

"Brother Zhou is right!" Shi Xun said coldly, "He wanted to relieve the victims and opened a treasury, but there were too many victims, and he couldn't last long. Once the food ran out, how would he maintain the situation? I'll wait until then. You can watch the joke!"

Zhou Hong: "Hey... Recently, because of King Yan's rectification, the price of grain in many places around has been falling. Those businessmen are afraid of being cut off by King Yan, so they dare not sell at a high price, and our business has to follow the price drop and lose money. Quite a few, this King Yan is simply a roadblock for us, and we can't make any money!"

"Do not worry!"

Shi Xun took a sip of his wine, and transmitted the scene with a confident voice: "When the treasury runs out of food, those people will be hungry, let them starve for a few days, and they will know how powerful it is.

These scumbags, don’t starve them, don’t know their own identities. Before the food supply was high, these people yelled and scolded, because I didn’t bother to talk to them, otherwise all food would be cut off, and they would all starve to death! "

Shi Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, touched a little of his beard, and his eyes revealed: "Although we have suffered a great loss from King Yan's suppression of grain prices, the greater loss is that this person really wants to implement his new law. We will no longer have the benefits we had before, such as fertile land, if he took it away, how much will we lose?"

"Who knows what new methods he will come up with in the future? Now, King Yan is our enemy!"

"If he was here, we wouldn't have the days we used to!"

"It's not because of him. How much fertile land do we have in our hands? How much food is produced every year? Those common people work for us, and at most we can spend them with a little three melons and two dates. Now these benefits have flowed away from our hands. The king did it!"

Zhou Hong: "What countermeasures do you have?"

Shi Xun nodded: "There are naturally some ways to deal with him, but I have a good idea!"

"What idea?" Zhou Hong looked forward to it.

Shi Xun said with a smile: "After King Yan came, he rescued the victims and let go of the treasury of the Tianjin government. He is really stupid. We... just follow the plan and wait for a while!"

"Wait?" Zhou Hong asked.

Wei Guogong Shi Xun nodded: "Yes, just wait. When he runs out of food and there is no food left in the treasury, we will close the rice store. Not only will we close the store, but other merchants will also be closed. The food was hidden and said to the outside world that it was sold out.

At that time, we will find people in the city to spread rumors, those hungry people will definitely make trouble, and the whole Jinfu will be in chaos, I see how he will end up with King Yan?

It's not too late now, you go to contact those merchants and ask them to prepare in advance, store the grain, and when the time comes to join King Yan's army, isn't he going to make achievements and save the disaster?

I just let this Tianjin mansion be full of refugees who starved to death!

If this matter is resolved, King Yan's failure to deal with it will undoubtedly deal a great blow to his prestige, and our goal will be achieved.He wants to introduce new laws in the future, and he believes that other places will also resist. It’s okay to fail once or twice.

But if this kind of civil strife keeps happening, the new law of King Yan may be rejected by the officials, and the literati and bureaucrats of the whole world will join him and prevent him from continuing. At that time, the previous system will be restored, and the grain fields will still return to us. hands! "

Zhou Hong's eyes lit up: "My lord is wise! Now King Yan's reforms are only being tested in Yanyun. As long as there are troubles and problems with the effect, they will be stopped at the embryonic stage!"

Zhou Hong stood up and cupped his hands: "The next official will handle this matter right away. I believe that those businessmen whose interests have been harmed will definitely stand by our side!"
