Chapter 45: Just in time, Cao Xiu is here(1/2)

 Langyatai.

Li Si flipped through the bamboo slips.

The more I looked at it, the happier I became, and I couldn’t help nodding my head in approval.

"I didn't expect that this little pavilion chief could be so talented."

"Such a capable official deserves a heavy reward!"

Dashuo Surabaya County will increase the price of food. He has expected it for a long time. But he is too lazy to care about such trivial matters. How to deal with it is the responsibility of the county guard. If the county guard does not do his job well, he will come out to reprimand him.

.

However, this letter of remonstrance has benefited him a lot. The purchase restriction order has been implemented. This is indeed a good idea. The important thing is that it can solve the urgent needs of Sishui County. He heard that the current price of Sishui County has only increased to 100 meters per stone.

Money.

Of course, Ye Zhuang could give an order and could only maintain the original price. But doing so would not only offend people, but is also simply unrealistic. If the price of food is too low, people who don’t need to buy rice may buy it and hoard it, which will increase in the future.

.

However, the following average loss is too much to take for granted. Set the granary as a constant level warehouse. When the grain is low, increase the number of merchants to buy, and when the grain is high, reduce the number of merchants to buy. At first glance, it is indeed a good idea, but if you think about it carefully,

I know there are many disadvantages.

There is definitely no problem in selling the rice this time to balance grain prices, but what if it cannot be replenished in the coming year or in several consecutive years? What if the granary is really needed but there is no millet available?

"As for the Quyuanli..."

Ye Zhuang stood in the audience with cold sweat on his back.

"How can you believe such a fallacy?!"

"Ahem..."

Ye Zhuang wiped his sweat.

This line is really familiar.

"That's all, it's okay to play some tricks." Li Si didn't pay too much attention and continued: "Although Cao Xiu is only the chief of a small pavilion, he is of a low position and dare not forget about the country. He was promoted to the second level and became an official.

A doctor is a stingy man when he comes to the countryside. He is given two pieces of gold and two concubines."

"Wei!"

Ye Zhuang raised his hands and bowed.

The reward given by Li Si was not small. Two pieces of gold were worth more than 20,000 yuan. There were also two concubines, and the adult concubines were also worth more than 5,000 yuan.

"In addition..."

Li Si's voice suddenly turned cold.

There is deep anger hidden in the eyebrows.

"Has the emperor been found now?"

"Never..."

"Any news about those two kids?"

"No..."

Bang!

Li Si suddenly raised his hand and slapped it hard on the desk.

"Prime Minister, calm down!"

"Now the emperor's life and death are uncertain. I, Tongwuhou and others have not rested for days. As a county guard, since you learned about this matter, you only care about the county administration and ignore the emperor's safety. Can you still clearly distinguish what is less important and which is more important?!"

"I know I'm wrong!"

Ye Zhuang admitted his mistake on the surface, but in his heart he thought MMP. So many of you have found it, but you haven't found it yet. In just a few days, can he find it with just a breath? This is impossible. If he doesn't care about Sishui County,

If you neglect your duty and abolish the order, you will be dismissed according to Qin law.

"Back off!"

"Wei!"

As soon as Li Si breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Ben broke in.

"Is there some news from Marquis Tongwu?"

"Of course!"

"The Marquis of Tongwu is indeed the humerus of the Qin court..."

Li Si was about to raise his hand to flatter him, but Wang Ben shook his head in embarrassment, "I just got the news that the eldest son has left Xianyang and said he was coming to help us find someone."

"Nonsense!"

Li Si's face turned red with anger.

They got news last time that Fusu was coming to help find someone, but the matter was severely criticized by Prime Minister Right. Who would have thought that Fusu would leave Xianyang rashly.

Is this help?

This is causing trouble!

Wang Ben also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The eldest son has always been filial. Knowing that something happened to His Majesty, it is normal for him to come here to help regardless of etiquette. Fortunately, my son Li'er also came with me, so nothing will happen."

"..."

Li Si suddenly fell silent after hearing this.

Fusu was taught by hundreds of schools of Confucianism and Legalism and was extremely filial. Moreover, he was known to be a stubborn person. When his temper got worse, no one could persuade him. Even the emperor dared to fight against him. In his opinion, it was wrong for him to fight against the emperor.

Filial piety. Filial piety does not mean obeying everyone, but having the courage to point out the emperor's mistakes and make him correct them.

It's normal for Fusu to come running after learning that something happened to the emperor.

"That's it!"

Li Si didn't want to worry about this anymore and waved it away.

……

……

Pei County, Guan City.

A large number of people are queuing up.

"Have you heard?"

"What's the matter?"

"Huaiyin County is also worth a hundred dollars a stone!"

"It's cheap." The hunched old man shook his head and said with emotion: "If it weren't for the advice of the pavilion chief Cao Xiu, we poor households in Luzuo would probably have no rice to cook with. As a native of Peixian County, I am really the best.

The blessing of waiting!"

"What my father-in-law said is that the price of rice in our Pei County is the lowest among the counties, and a rice stone only costs 60 yuan. Cao Jun is really a timely help to Pei County, and he contributes at the critical moment."

"Humph, Nai Gong knew that he must be an outstanding person when he first met Mr. Cao. There is a saying in Fengyi, saying that Cao Xiu will come soon. Cao Jun cares about the poor family in Guizhou, and his two or three sons will know it from now on."

Listening to their discussion, a young man showed a different expression on his face. He covered his robe extremely tightly, wore a sword around his waist, and wore a simple bun. He was wearing a blue cloth and had a pair of straw sandals on his feet.

He is not from Peixian County. The reason why he came here is just because the price of food here is cheaper. In other counties, rice and stone cost 100 cents. If it were not for the order of the county governor, I am afraid it would not be sold at a higher price.

"Timely rain Cao Xiu?"

"If you say Cao Xiu, Cao Xiu will be here?"

"Heh..."

The young man sneered and shook his head.

He had never met Cao Xiu, but he knew from this method that this person was not simple. These words sounded very smooth. The key was to make the head of Guizhou have a good impression of him. He was indeed good at manipulating people's hearts.

"Do you know why the price of rice in Peixian County is so cheap?"

"Is it Mr. Cao who sells rice at a low price?"

"Not only that." The old man waved his hand, "I heard that Mr. Cao also persuaded the four major clans of Xiao, Cao, Wang and Yong, and they jointly produced rice to control the price of food."

"Huh?"

When the young man heard this, he immediately became interested.

In this way, Cao Xiu really has some abilities.

Such a talented person is actually just a pavilion chief?

It seems that he has gained something unexpected during his visit to Pei County.

As he was thinking about it, he fell into a trance. He didn't notice that the person in front of him had left, and the person behind him naturally walked up anxiously. As a result, the two of them bumped into each other.

"Alas, your mother is a maid!"

"Are you blind?"
