410. Chapter 410 The Study Room Discussion

The next morning, Chen Hao discussed the matter of Jizhou with Zhou Feng in his mansion, and finally asked Zhou Feng to draft a policy for Jizhou Chen to send it to Youzhou. He also promoted Youzhou Governor Yi Chengtian to spread the various states in the name of his Jiedushi, and dispatched troops to subdistrict the states to show supervision. If anyone disobeys the order and refuses to obey the rules, he can be detained on the spot.

After the two discussed government affairs, Zhou Feng still did not leave. Instead, he asked for instructions: "Mr. Marquis, there is something unknown about his humble position. I hope the Marquis will give him advice!"

"You want to ask, would you be too impatient for me to act so vigorously?" Before Zhou Feng could ask, Chen raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng was stunned when he heard Chen Hao's words, and then bowed and responded: "That's right!"

Chen Hao picked up the fragrant tea on the table and wanted to moisten his throat, but he found that the tea was already cold. So he reluctantly put the tea cup back on the table, and then chuckled with a deep sense: "No matter how fragrant this tea is, when the boiling water is slightly cool, it will lose its original flavor. The way to drink tea is to be neither anxious nor slow, nor arrogant or impatient, the boiling lacks heart, and the cold lacks taste. You must grasp the time of this!"

"I'm too humble to think too much!" Zhou Feng was a smart person. After hearing Chen Hao's metaphor, he suddenly realized much more.

"Please rest assured, Lord Zhou, this marquis will definitely make good use of the evidence you have collected! We will never let the Lu family cover the sky in Jizhou, nor will we let the Lu family, the gentry, threaten Fan Yang's stability!"

Part of the reason why Sun Tao and others did not poison Zhou Feng that day was because Zhou Feng had evidence of the crime committed by the Lu officials in Jizhou. It was this evidence that saved Zhou Feng's life and Chen Hao's life. Because Chen Hao knew that if Zhou Feng was poisoned by blood safflower that day, he would not be able to tell his innocence even if he had been a hundred people.

Because of this, Chen Hao was frightened afterwards, and he hated the mastermind behind the scenes to the core. Chen Hao made many enemies and it was difficult to tell who was doing this. However, since he was in Fanyang and Zhou Feng gave him most of the evidence Lu's clan, the one who was in the brunt of the Lu family was the enemy of him.

So Chen Hao would not give up. Even though he detained more than 40 officials in Jizhou based on the evidence provided by Zhou Feng, he still felt that it was not enough, because since the game began, there must be a beginning and an end.

At this time, the door of the room sounded softly three times. Chen Hao looked up and couldn't help but smile. It turned out that Yue Mengqi came to deliver tea in person. Chen Hao looked at the beauty who was not very walking, and couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, "Mengqi, just hand over such a small matter to my maid, why do you come to deliver tea in person!"

Yue Mengqi smiled sweetly and said softly: "It is the way for husband and wife to serve tea and water for husband and wife. How can this be done by maids?"

"Okay, okay, you're right, then sit down first!" Chen Hao hurriedly stood up and helped Yue Mengqi to sit aside, muttering guiltily while supporting him: "It's all because my husband didn't know how to cherish the fragrance last night! It made Mengqi you have such a hard step!"

Although Chen Hao's words were so delicate that Mosquito Songs were heard clearly, Yue Mengqi could hear them clearly, so she instantly blushed her face. She didn't expect that Chen Hao would say this in public. Although it was so delicate that Mosquito Songs had not been heard by others, it still made her very embarrassed and annoyed. So she shook away Chen Hao's support and sat aside in displeasure.

Zhou Feng, who was standing beside him, wanted to leave, but was worried that Chen Hao would give orders, so he stood aside in embarrassment. Although he did not hear Chen Hao's words, the couple in front of him were so respectful to each other, Zhou Feng was very relieved, and he respected Chen Hao a few more in his heart.

As the saying goes, since ancient times, there are many talented men, especially in the Tang Dynasty, and raising concubines has become popular. However, Chen Hao is now a talented man who is famous all over the world and a Marquis of Dingbei, who is a very famous minister. It is rare to be able to love the beautiful women around him with such a good reputation and status.

Looking at Meng Qi with a slightly frown, Chen felt a little guilty in his heart, thinking that he would really restrain himself in the future. Seeing Yue Mengqi sitting aside in embarrassment and bowing his head without saying a word, Chen Hao felt that it was necessary to change the subject, so he turned his eyes on Zhou Feng: "Mr. Zhou, how have you raised the grain funds in Jizhou?"

"Report to the Marquis, Bei Zhi is about to report this matter! After the Marquis issued four orders, and after searching the bureaucrats, he had raised 300,000 coins. Unfortunately, although there are surplus funds, there are food scarce. Now, not only does Jizhou have no grains, but there are six states in Fanyang. Therefore, these 300,000 coins have become useless. Bei Zhi sent someone to buy food a few days ago, but the price of grain now reaches ten coins per kilogram of copper coins..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "These profitable merchants are extremely guilty of raising prices! However, the power behind these merchants is unbearable, and they have not committed any illegal acts, so our government is powerless!"

Chen Hao nodded with deep understanding. Although he was able to use his power to suppress these intentional profiteers, he could not help him for a lifetime. Moreover, blindly using domineering means is not the best strategy. Although he has included Fan Yang's affairs in detail in the memorial to submit them to the capital, I believe that the court will allocate funds for disaster relief soon. However, the food allocated is a drop in the bucket, and the money allocated seems to be a lot, but how much grain can be purchased for such a high price of grain?

Fortunately, Chen Hao was prepared, so he comforted him: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry! This is the marquis who have their own solutions. When I was the marquis, I had a friendship with the Xue family in Henan when I was the marquis who stayed in the Eastern Capital. If it weren't for Mr. Xue Chong's strong help, I would not have restored the equal-field system in Henan Prefecture. This time, I took the initiative to mention Fan Yang's affairs, and Mr. Xue was generous and willing to support the government..."

"Oh! That's great! Mr. Xue's move is really a righteous act!" Zhou Feng was very happy when he heard that the Xue family of the three major gentry clans in Henan was willing to help. However, he seemed to feel something was wrong, so he asked again: "Please forgive me for being too worried. Fan Yang already has six states that need relief, so I'm afraid it's just..."

"Haha! As the governor of a state, Master Zhou is really valuable, but he is in charge of the rest of Fanyang. Lord Zhou doesn't need to worry about this matter. Since this Marquis is the governor of Fanyang, I will naturally not ignore the disaster! Mr. Xue knows that his ability is limited, so he has joined forces with a group of merchants to support Fanyang... This Marquis has sent someone to negotiate and will arrive in Jizhou soon. Lord Zhou just needs to prepare for allocating food..."

Last night, Yue Mengqi came to Jizhou to explain to Chen Hao that Lin Yueyao's decision was made. It was this decision that made Chen Hao, who had been troubled, scream so wonderful.

The next morning, Chen Hao discussed the matter of Jizhou with Zhou Feng in his mansion, and finally asked Zhou Feng to draft a policy for Jizhou Chen to send it to Youzhou. He also promoted Youzhou Governor Yi Chengtian to spread the various states in the name of his Jiedushi, and dispatched troops to subdistrict the states to show supervision.
