But Bao Zheng seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said speechlessly:
"You don't want to use public affairs for personal gain in order to please your wives and concubines, do you?"
"I know that dredging the West Lake is a good thing, but is now the right time? Where does the food come from? Now there is a shortage of food everywhere."
As he said that, Bao Zheng said earnestly:
"It's too late to go too far, and the same is true for governance. It's better to delay than rush! You are still too young."
When Cao Bin heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said:
"Lord Bao, don't worry, Mr. Cao has ordered the caravan to go overseas to buy grain."
Bao Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, and said in surprise:
"I didn't think of the overseas route, but the sea route is too risky, you are completely gambling!"
"Once the caravan can't come back in time, wouldn't there be chaos among the people?"
Cao Bin shook his head and said:
"Cao has his own plan, Master Bao doesn't have to worry about it."
He didn't reveal all his plans, Bao Zheng was too upright to see some dark tricks.
There's no need to get entangled with him because of this kind of thing.
He wanted to take advantage of Jiangnan's good conditions to pave the way for the future.
After all, the current emperor was seriously injured and died. Even if Cao Bin left the medicine, there would be no accidents, and it would be difficult to survive for too long.
At that time, the form of the court will definitely change a lot.
The more backhands I leave now, the better it will be for the future, and the weight of speaking will increase a lot.
To put it bluntly, the people who participated in the battle for the crown prince before were all the ministers of the central government, and even Bao Zheng played the side drum.
Even if Cao Bin wanted to express his opinion, even if he wanted to express his opinion, people would not ignore him, but would be wary of him.
That's why he escaped from the maelstrom in the capital and ran to the south of the Yangtze River.
But it is impossible for Cao Bin not to care about the candidate for the next emperor, which is related to his wealth and life after all...
Bao Zheng didn't know what Cao Bin was thinking, he just reminded vaguely:
"Since you don't want to say anything, Bao won't ask any more questions."
"But you need to know that I have the imperial guillotine in my hand. This is the flag of the emperor's order. Even if I don't have the right to judge you, I can still suspend your official position. Please make a ruling."
"Don't act recklessly, otherwise Bao won't care about your previous achievements."
When Cao Bin heard this, he immediately became depressed. Bao Zheng was still worried about himself, and was beating him all the time.
But now he is different from when he first came here, now he can be regarded as a local official in Jiangnan, even if Bao Zheng has Shang Fang's sword, he has no right to inquire about crimes without authorization, he has to wait for the emperor's decree.
Moreover, Bao Zheng was under Cao Bin, if he did not have sufficient evidence, he would have to bear a serious crime.
Now their relationship is a bit of mutual restraint. In terms of official dispatch, Bao Zheng is Cao Bin's subordinate, but he also has the last trump card of the guillotine, who can supervise Cao Bin.
Seeing Bao Zheng's earnest black face, Cao Bin felt disgusted by the boss, and immediately thought of revenge, and said with a smile:
"Bao Hei... Master Bao, you have been in Hangzhou for a while, right? Why haven't you done anything yet?"
"This is lazy government! How can it be worthy of His Majesty's high expectations?"
"Cao hopes that you will thoroughly investigate the government affairs and cases in Hangzhou in the past three years within three days."
"If you can't complete the task, Mr. Cao won't worry about your friendship and selfishness..."
It doesn't matter if you have the guillotine bestowed by the emperor, you still have to obey my orders on weekdays.
Cao Bin thought a little proudly, smiling brightly.
Hearing his words, Bao Zheng's face turned green.
Previously, I was only busy investigating Bao Mian secretly, so where is the rush to investigate the old politics in Hangzhou?
Moreover, Hangzhou is such a big place, even if he has the skill of avatar, it is impossible to finish so many things in three days.
He is also a serious character, it is impossible to fool him, and he suddenly complained in his heart.
I just coughed and said:
"That, Cao..."
Cao Bin immediately interrupted:
"Your Majesty Bao won't feel embarrassed, will you? When I first came to Kaifeng Mansion as an official, didn't I also be sent by Master Bao to accumulate case files for several months?"
Bao Zheng was speechless immediately, thinking, can it be the same?
I only gave you the case files accumulated for three months, but you are lucky enough to double it for me directly.
This is holding back revenge!
However, there was a precedent for him embarrassing Cao Bin himself, so he couldn't refuse, so he could only hold his nose and agree.
The retribution came so fast that he was caught off guard.
At this time, he was very depressed, and he regretted talking too much.
However, he was also worried that Cao Bin lacked restraint, acted recklessly, went astray, and caused "big disaster"...
Early the next morning, when Cao Bin was sleeping soundly in the warm fragrance of nephrite jade, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
The servant girl Chunliu called softly:
"Master Hou, Hangzhou Ding Zhizhou has an urgent matter to see you!"
Cao Bin said with some air:
"Come early in the morning to disturb people's dreams? Let him solve it by himself!"
Du Shiniang originally planned to help him get dressed, but when she heard this, she immediately hugged his bear waist tightly, nestled into his arms, and closed her sleepy eyes again with a slight smile.
She never cared much about outside affairs, seeing this, she just thought that Cao Bin had a good idea, and didn't try to persuade him...
Hearing the servant girl's report, Hangzhou Zhizhou was dumbfounded and froze in the living room, not knowing what to do.
Originally, the gentry arranged some soldiers and common people to go to the state government to petition and make trouble.
Regardless of whether the government suppresses or appeases him, as long as Cao Bin shows up, he can further confirm the fabricated rumors, damage his reputation, and arouse public outrage among the common people.
At that time, whether it is a large-scale civil unrest or military unrest, it will be Cao Bin's responsibility.
Unexpectedly, he didn't show up at all and let himself solve it. Didn't he trap himself?
At that time, Cao Bin can completely say that he misled the people and threw the blame on himself.
Made a mistake!
Seeing that Chunliu was about to leave, the magistrate of Hangzhou quickly stopped her and said:
"Girl, may I ask, when does Marquis Cao usually change clothes and get up?"
Chunliu rolled her eyes and said casually:
"Maybe in the afternoon, maybe in the evening."
After finishing speaking, he ignored him, twisted his waist, and left directly.
Although the rules of the Hou Mansion are not strict, it is a basic requirement not to disclose internal information.
How could Chunliu tell him casually?
The governor of Hangzhou heard the words, but he was a little speechless. He wanted to wait a while, so why wait? By the time he got up, the day lily was cold.
In desperation, he had no choice but to quickly return to the city and let the troublemakers evacuate the people immediately.
You can't cheat yourself.
The gentry, who was still waiting to see the joke, was helpless when he heard the result. This doesn't look like a local official.
Also too dude.
The Patriarch of the Wang family pondered for a moment, and said cruelly:
"Since a safer method cannot be used, then directly incite the refugees to make trouble."
"Anyway, the refugees are fully controlled by him, and complaints have long been spread among them."
"So he can't push it to others, can he?"
"There is also Li Fudu, who asked his soldiers and horses to cooperate, and made a big fuss."
"At that time, we will hand over the book of Wanmin to Prime Minister Cai to see how he will stay in the south of the Yangtze River..."
While they were discussing countermeasures, Cao Bin also received a system prompt in his sleep:
[As an official, sleepy and lazy on the bed, do not do business, meet the standard of dandyism, reward 2000 dandyism points]
Cao Bin didn't care either. If there was something important, Shi Qian would have reported it a long time ago. He didn't bother to pay attention to Na Ding Zhizhou...
Hangzhou.
City North Refugee Camp.
The weather in May is already a bit hot.
Early in the morning, countless refugees got up from the camp, and under the supervision of the soldiers, formed a long line to receive gruel.
When the patrolling soldiers were bored, a man suddenly threw the porcelain bowl to the ground after receiving the porridge, and shouted:
"You want to starve us to death? Just two bowls of porridge every day, who is enough?"
"I've heard for a long time that the local Wang Dashan and others wanted to enter the camp for relief, but they were rejected by a certain big shot."
"Is this reasonable?"
As he erupted, someone shouted:
"There are also people who were picked up by Marquis Cao. They have dry food every day and they are full. Why should we just live on gruel? Is this too unfair?"
An old man said in an unpredictable tone:
"Didn't you notice that most of the families who were picked out had young women..."
As you talk about each other, the mood of the refugees is getting worse and worse, and they have lost control of their emotions.
The so-called not suffering from poverty but suffering from inequality is the truth.
Seeing this, one of the patrolling generals with his subordinates hurried to the front and said angrily:
"What do you want to do? How dare you disrupt the order of the Zhizhi refugee camp and seek death?"
One of the men suddenly shouted:
"Little General, we have no other intentions, but Wang Dashan and others have a lot of food and want to help. Why did Marquis Cao stop it?"
"He didn't spend his food, and detained us from leaving. Could there be some kind of conspiracy..."
When everyone heard this, they became more noisy, and some even whispered:
"I have long said that this Zhong Jinghou is not a good person."
"His reputation is not good, how could he help us for no reason?",
This kind of discussion is getting more and more, and slowly spreading to more people.
Hearing this, the young general suddenly became angry and said:
"Bold, how dare you criticize Master Cao, are you courting death?"
"Come here and arrest them all and punish them severely, so as to make an example to others!"
He knew that he couldn't hesitate at this time, otherwise it might lead to catastrophe.
At this time, the deputy governor of Hangzhou Bingma suddenly came over and said:
"Stop it, the people have been wronged, but just say a few words, why mobilize the crowd?"
"I, Da Song, never sin with words!"
After finishing speaking, all the heads behind him were full of resentment and said:
