Realizing This Is A Wuxia World After Cultivating For 300 Years Chapter 65: 0 surname and 1 thought
"What's going on ahead?" Cui Heng stepped out of the carriage, looked at the people in Lu County in front, and asked Liu Litao beside him.
"This, this is probably the handwriting of Sun Panshi and others." Liu Litao trembled with anger and gritted his teeth, "Sir, these people are already lawless, and most of these people are bewitched by them!"
"I'm afraid there are thousands of people. It's really great!" Cui Heng sneered and said to Hui Shi, "Go and ask, what's going on?"
"Yes! Your Excellency!" Hui Shi saluted and ordered.
"Those people are probably watching our jokes." Cui Heng glanced at the city wall of Lu County in the distance and said with a smile, "Liu Juncheng, let the accompanying soldiers prepare to put food and salt!"
After he accepted the position of the governor of Lu County, he kept Liu Litao by his side as the governor, which helped him to quickly understand the various affairs of Lu County, and it was also more convenient to collect the seven emotions of sentient beings.
"Yes! Your Excellency!" Liu Litao nodded quickly and exclaimed, "Your Excellency is really predictable, I had long expected that there would be such an obstacle."
"Go, go, go." Cui Heng waved his hand and smiled.
This Liu Litao's official habits did not change, and his three words were always flattering. Fortunately, he was sincere in his work, and the soldiers behind him were quickly mobilized.
The entourage of Cui Heng to Lu County City is not small.
In addition to Huishi, Xu Fengan, Liu Litao, and Qian Cang, there were more than a dozen victims who had fled from Dachang County to Juhe County as soldiers.
When a new official takes office in a different position, especially if he comes to a place where a hole has been dug in Lu Juncheng, he must be prepared in advance.
If you want to gather people's hearts, win the love of the people, and collect positive emotions, you must have someone you can use to do things from the very beginning.
The number should be at least a dozen.
These former Dachang County victims are undoubtedly the best choice.
They are absolutely loyal to Cui Heng, and even believe that their lives belong to Cui Heng.
On the other hand, it was also because Cui Heng brought a lot of supplies to Lu Juncheng and needed people to transport them.
It is true that he can also use magic to make those materials after he arrives at Lu County City, but in that case it is to fish out of the water.
You can only harvest emotions on a large scale at one time, and there is no follow-up.
After a bowl of water in Juhe County flooded the 50,000 army, he did not receive many sentient beings.
This is not in line with the concept of sustainable development.
It's better to arrange more manpower, and it will be better to proceed gradually.
…
As soon as Huishi arrived in front of the city gate of Lu County, more than a dozen people immediately surrounded him.
"Officer, you are from the county governor, please let the county governor give us a way to survive, we can't afford to buy food!"
"Please don't raise the price of food, please don't raise the price of food, we little people can't afford it, please beg the officials, give me a way to live!"
"There is also the Yan family. My family has not dared to eat salt for three days. The child's body is getting weaker and weaker. It's a pity that he is still growing! Woohoo!!"
The more the people talked, the more excited they became. Some even started to push forward, almost completely surrounding Hui Shi.
Zheng!
Huishi lightly shook the steel knife around his waist, looked around with cold eyes, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, the prefect is alive in the sky, loves the people like a son, don't get excited, he will definitely help you solve the problem. Yes!"
Ordinary people are afraid of swords, and when they see this battle, they subconsciously take a few steps back.
"How to solve it, can he still spit out the money he ate?!"
At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "I've already heard that the new county governor and grain merchants and salt merchants conspired to raise the price several times, and take half of the commission!"
"Who's talking nonsense!" Huishi shouted angrily and wanted to go out to check, but was surrounded by the people on the third and third floors, and couldn't move at all.
"Master! Is it true that the prefect takes commission from the merchants?"
"Master! Have pity on us! If we go on like this, we won't be able to live anymore!"
"Master, Master..."
The voices of countless people buzzed in Hui Shi's ears, making him extremely irritable, and he almost couldn't help drawing a knife and slashing people.
But these people are not the Huang family of Juhe County, and they cannot be killed at will.
He could only hold back.
However, Hui Shi was a warrior in the Qi Condensation Realm after all. He could use his True Qi to slowly push away these people and return to Cui Heng.
"My lord, the situation is not optimistic." Huishi reported in the past and said solemnly, "Someone is among these people to sow discord, saying that your lord, you are partnering with merchants and competing for profits with the people."
"Have you found out who it is?" Cui Heng asked.
"My subordinates were surrounded by the people, so I couldn't find out." Hui Shi nodded somewhat ashamed.
"It doesn't matter." Cui Heng smiled. "Go over again and tell these people, come to me to buy grain and salt, you can buy it at half the usual price, and each person is limited to 20 catties of grain and one catty of salt.
"However, every commoner who comes to receive grain and salt must speak to the merchants who drive up the price of grain and salt. At that time, you organize your staff to record all these."
"Yes! Your Excellency!" Hui Shi immediately ordered to return.
"Sir, I have already discovered that person just now." Xu Fengan, disguised as an old scholar, wondered, "Why don't you let me catch him directly?"
"Now arresting people, but there is no way to cut the grass and root." Cui Heng chuckled lightly, and glanced at the gate on the city wall.
…
At this time, in the gatehouse on the city wall of Lu County.
Sun Panshi and Wang Jinsheng were sitting opposite each other and drinking, looking at the scene outside with a playful gaze.
"Brother Wang Xian, how do you think the Governor Cui will deal with this raging public opinion?"
Sun Panshi drank a glass of fine wine and laughed, "This is probably the first new county governor in history to be blocked by the people at the gate of the city! Hahaha!"
"Brother Sun, didn't you find the more than 20 carts brought by the new county governor?" Wang Jinsheng didn't answer the question, looked outside and said with a chuckle, "I'm afraid there is a lot of food inside." /
"How is it possible that he can still bring food from Juhe County to help the people?" Sun Panshi shook his head and said, "And Juhe County has been in poverty for a long time, how can there be so much food to transport?" /
"When this Prefect Cui was in Juhe County, he saved thousands of victims by opening a warehouse and releasing food." Wang Jinsheng still looked outside, "I feel that this test will not be difficult for him, and we should prepare for it. The next steps are."
"My virtuous brother is worrying too much..." Sun Panshi still didn't believe it, but when he saw the changes outside, he stood up abruptly and shouted in shock, "How is it possible, he really brought so much with him Food?!"
"Not only food, but also salt!" Wang Jinsheng's eyes were slightly fascinated, and he suddenly smiled, "Hahaha, this is interesting. If it is too easy to suppress, it will make this young master feel boring." /
"Oh, it's just an act of bribing people's hearts!" Sun Panshi was still unconvinced and sneered, "After these days of publicity, the image of the new county governor and the merchants partnering to compete with the people for profit cannot be changed!
"Even if he eats the bear-hearted leopard and dares to attack those merchants after entering the city, his image in the hearts of the people will not be good, he just thinks he is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge!"
…
Cui Heng brought a total of twenty carts of grain and five carts of salt.
Naturally, there is not enough food to sell to these thousands of refugees, so it is first come, first served.
Then, promise that there will be more in the future, and you can go to the Sheriff's Office to buy it.
And it will also make every effort to reduce the price of food, salt and other livelihood industries.
In this way, the people will naturally disperse.
Even if there is a care in it, it will not play any role in the face of real food and salt.
"Has the merchant's information been written down?" Cui Heng asked Hui Shi.
"Reporting to your lord, I have written it down." Huishi nodded and said angrily, "A total of thirteen grain merchants and six salt merchants have all doubled their prices by seven times!"
"Okay!" Cui Heng nodded lightly.
"My lord, although you sold them food at half price, some people still think that this is an act of bribing people's hearts." Huishi said with some worry, "I still think you and those merchants are a group."
"It's okay." Cui Heng waved his hand, didn't say anything else, and returned to the carriage, "Enter the city!"
…
After dealing with the city gate incident, Cui Heng successfully took office as the prefect of Lu County.
Sun Panshi and others were waiting for the new county governor to make a move.
But three days have passed.
There is no news from the county governor's office.
I only know that Cui Heng is arranging people around him to take various positions.
There doesn't seem to be any sign of going.
Moreover, for the past three days, grain and salt have been transported from Juhe County through the Honghe River.
It is still sold to the common people at half price!
As if the grain and salt there are inexhaustible.
This made Sun Panshi and other popular people almost scolded their mothers. They couldn't even find the common people to go to the county governor's house to make trouble.
I can only curse Cui Heng's food and salt quickly.
After more than ten days, the food and salt are still flowing.
There is no sign of breaking up.
The city of Lu County has even begun to spread songs praising the new county governor.
Sun Panshi and the others could endure it, but their major grain and salt merchants couldn't.
I haven't made a single penny for more than half a month in a row. Even a businessman will explode.
So, the merchants began to buy food from the common people at twice the price, and then sold it at three times the original price.
Although food and salt are important, wealth and silk also understand people's hearts.
Some people are tempted to sell some of their grain and salt.
This has led to the fact that the overall price of grain and salt remains high despite the constant existence of half-price grain and salt.
The people soon began to picket the homes of the merchants who were selling grain and salt.
This led to the grain and salt merchants quickly tripling the purchase price again.
As a result, there are more people who secretly sell grain and salt.
The price soon increased fivefold.
It's almost seven times as big.
At this moment, the grain and salt shipments from Juhe County suddenly stopped!
The County Sheriff's Office also issued a notice that there was really no food or salt that could be brought in.
The price of food and salt soared to fifteen times the original price in an instant!
Sun Panshi and others celebrated with their crowns~IndoMTL.com~ All the merchants held a banquet to celebrate.
The people were furious, but there was nothing they could do.
The entire Lu County town has almost become a powder keg.
Just about to explode.
Finally, a large number of people couldn't bear it anymore, and they went to the county governor's yamen to file a complaint, hoping that the county governor would severely punish these illegal businessmen.
This time, no one instigated it, everyone was spontaneous, and they all just went to the prefect for help.
Instead of questioning.
In the past month, the image of the new county governor fighting against grain and salt merchants in the whole city has been established in the hearts of the people.
No one would believe that Cui Heng was with those merchants.
Inside the Sheriff's Office.
Cui Heng took a list and said to Hui Shi, who was on standby: "Thirteen grain merchants, six salt merchants, nine medicine halls, twelve carbon merchants, seven ... It's clear, right?"
"Yes, sir, it has been checked." Huishi said respectfully.
"What is the attitude of the people?" Cui Heng asked again.
"Your great plan, the people of the city have sincere admiration for you." Huishi admired Cui Heng's approach so much that it truly gathered people's hearts.
If they had raided the homes of these merchants when they first entered the city, they would definitely not have the kind of people they have now, and they might even be stigmatized by the stigma of slaughtering donkeys.
"Okay!" Cui Heng nodded and smiled. Now, the first goal has been achieved.
So, he immediately put the list on the table and said solemnly, "Hui Shi obeys orders! All the above merchants will search their homes and choose a public trial! If anyone stands in their way, they will be killed on the spot!"
The pig is fattened.
Time to kill!
