59. Planting flowers
, half awake and half drunk, dreaming of tomorrow, flowers blooming and falling, cherishing the past
~
Su Su thought about it all night, and the more she thought about it, the more contradictory she became. She could not understand Dao Zhi. There were too many things hidden in Dao Zhi. He was mysterious everywhere, and everything was deviant, but the people around him were obedient. Su Su tried to find an explanation from Daozhi's past, and called Chenggang early in the morning:"You used to follow Daozhi, tell me who he is?"
Chenggang realized something, and saw that Chenggang couldn't come out Sound, Su Su ordered:
"Tell me? Chenggang had no choice but to say:"What subordinates think of the general is only their limited opinion. The most important thing is what the governor himself thinks." For example, if you want to know whether a person is a good person, it is useless to ask his family members.
Hearing Chenggang talk about his family, Su Su thought that they treated him as an outsider. Su Su yelled angrily:"I just want you to tell me whether he is a soldier or a businessman."
Chenggang glanced at Su Su and said,"Since you want to know, why don't you ask your father?" He is qualified to evaluate him"
"Okay, okay, I'll ask my father."Su Su turned around and went out, heading towards the thatched hut. Chenggang looked at the empty Governor's Mansion and sighed.
When Su Su saw her father, she poured tea for him. Mr. Yan knew that it must be about Taoism:
"Is it about Tao? Tell me?"
"How did father know it was about him? He had been here"
"No, I haven't seen him since last time. He must be busier than me."Lao Yan.
Su Su told his father the whole story. Lao Yan didn't comment much, but asked:"I don't know what he wants to do. Do you think Taoism is for personal gain?"
"have no idea"
"If he had personal interests, he would not have taken over the Chenzhou disaster. Everyone knew that this disaster could not be solved properly and would only lead to death and the death of more people. No matter what the result was, as long as the officials were dissatisfied, he would There are excuses to accuse, and they even use the topic to play on. No matter how good Tao Zhi is, he can't escape their accusations." Mr. Yan
"That is to say, there is no self-interest."Susu
"So do you think Daozhi is a stupid person?"Lao Yan asked again.
"At such a young age, His Majesty appointed him as Minister of War, in charge of the army and horses of Dongfu Kingdom. Of course, he would not be stupid."Susu
"You have neither self-interest nor stupidity, so how could you fall into the trap of those people? You buy food when others buy it. How are you different from them?" Mr. Yan
"They're for themselves, I'm not."Susu
"Everything we do is the same. Sometimes even people with good intentions will do evil things. I believe that the original way will not change." Mr. Yan
"Father, you believe him so much"
"I believe in what he did. Looking back, I can see which of the things he did did not get twice the result with half the effort, which of the things that others could do, and which of which were not perfect. Take what happened in Chenzhou as an example. If there is no way, the result will be how?"Mr. Yan.
Su Su didn't say anything else. She knew in her heart that if the victims were put directly into the city, Chenzhou would be like Wu County, and Dongdu would also suffer. She didn't dare to think about it any further.

Within a few days, several people suddenly appeared in Dongdu City, selling grain at a price that was 10% higher than the market price. They said it was grain smuggled from Luoba country, and the quantity was limited. They came again the next day, and the third day... only a few grains a day. If you sell a certain quantity, the price will increase by 10% every time.
The Minister of Household Affairs not only exchanged the grain for money, but then sold the land. He was turning over the land in the yard that day, and he was covered in sweat. Thinking about the current situation of Dongfu Kingdom, he did not feel tired at all, but became more and more upset. The more comfortable you are.
Suddenly the manager came to report:"Sir, a father-in-law who claims to be the magistrate of Wu County is outside asking for an audience."
"What a chicken or dog, send him away."The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance is bending over to dig the ground, sweat dripping into the soil.
"Sir, I’m from Wu County."
The Minister of Hubu straightened up and wiped his sweat with his sleeve:"Wuxian County? What's the situation now in Wu County, where I sent something a while ago?"
"He said it was very serious. A group of people came from Chenzhou and arrested the county magistrate's family. He sneaked out while they were not paying attention and walked around Chenzhou for a long time before arriving in Dongdu."General Manager
"Who cares about his family? I'm asking about disaster?"The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance
"What a disaster, countless people died, Wu County is almost an empty city"
"so serious!"The Minister of the Ministry of Finance thought for a while, then continued digging the soil.
"He said it was indeed very serious. There was no one alive on the streets of the county town."
"How much land is left?"The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance
"Food prices are high and land is easy to sell. Most of it has been sold, and the rest is fertile land. What a pity it is to sell it?"
"What a pity, sell it, sell it all, sell it quickly."The Minister of Hubu walked a few steps and said secretly:"It's time to heat up.""
"What heat."General Manager
"Those people didn't understand either, so they asked the big players in the south to get involved and continue to make some noise."The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance
"They suffered a loss last time, so I'm afraid they won't be so active anymore."
"Tell them that that little money is nothing compared to the land tax exemptions and exemptions given to them over the years. Now is the opportunity for them to earn it back."The Minister of Hubu stopped, sweat dripping into the soil.
"That is, if they had not followed the master, how could they have so much land and still pay less taxes? Master, how much land would they have? Should we also let them cause trouble?"
"Make a fuss, make a fuss, tell them that they will not be treated badly, and that the world will be in chaos, and the more chaos, the better."The Minister of Hube said, squatting down and throwing seeds into the soil.
"What should we do?"General Manager
"Everything is in chaos, so of course it’s a good idea to leave, so be prepared and leave at any time."The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance
"Master, why are you planting these flowers now that you are leaving?"The manager asked, seeing that the master was planting flowers very seriously.
"This is the best soil in Blue Lake. If you don’t work here, how can you harvest anything? It will be just right next year."
"What to do with the father-in-law from Wu County outside the door?"
"Don't let him enter the house, just send him away."The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance
"Yes, sir, there’s nothing else to do. I’ll go down first."
"etc."
The manager turned around and was about to leave when he was stopped. The Minister of Household Affairs straightened up and thought for a while, sweat dripping on the seeds:"Find a place for him to settle first. It should be in the prosperous area of Dongdu City, near the brothel. That's fine. There are a lot of restaurants and teahouses there. Give him some money so that he can eat, drink, live, spend and have fun. After saying that
, he used his feet to cover the seeds with soil. The manager couldn't understand and couldn't help but ask:
"At this juncture, Master, we all have to leave. Why should we spend this unjust money if we treat him so well?"
"Go ahead and do it. After the Minister of the Ministry of Finance filled in the soil, he stepped on it gently:"The seeds have been planted, and we are just waiting for the flowers to bloom.""
"This guy is cheap."The steward complained.
Wu County's father-in-law had a sharp mouth, a crooked nose, and tattered clothes. The inn clerk was about to drive him away, but when he found out that the steward had brought him, he immediately greeted him with a smile. The inn was very gorgeous, and Wu County's father-in-law couldn't help but sigh. They all have the life of a wealthy person. The manager asked the landlady to find a maid to wash and change clothes for Wu County’s father-in-law. From time to time, Wu County’s father-in-law would stare at the maid with leering eyes. It was not easy to earn a living in the county magistrate’s house. Although his daughter She was a wife, but she was just a concubine. She was always looked down upon by others. My father-in-law in Wu County had never enjoyed such service in his life. He was so moved that he could not speak.
"My husband values love and righteousness, and he will find a way to deal with Wu County."My father-in-law immediately knelt down and said,"I am willing to go through fire and water to thank you for saving my life.
The manager took out a bag of silver and said,"Now is an extraordinary period. You can live here with peace of mind. You have already paid the rent for a month. You can use the money for daily use.""
Seeing that the money given was quite a lot, my father-in-law burst into tears and kept kowtowing:"You are the old and reborn parents.……"
"You can relax and recuperate here, eating and drinking what you need."After the general manager finished speaking, he walked directly to the brothel opposite. My father-in-law noticed that the general manager was very popular in the brothel, and he felt itchy in his heart.
Then the Minister of Household Affairs secretly sent two letters, one to Xilu Kingdom, and the other to Xilu Kingdom. To Yi Fan.
