"I have met Li Buzheng."

"Prefect Wang, sit down."

"Thank you, Chief Li."

Li Guang asked: "I just heard that the magistrate of Gourong County took the government officials to forcibly collect food from the people. Do you know about this?"

"Is this happening?" Wang He pretended to be surprised.

Li Guang said: "The people have come to my place!"

Wang He said quickly: "Xiaguan has been busy with official duties recently. He may have been negligent. I don't know where the person is. I will personally handle this matter."

"People are outside." Li Guang said.

Wang He said: "Li Buzheng has many official duties, so this matter will be handled by the lower officials."

"What are you going to do about it?"

Wang He added: "This food involves people's livelihood, so naturally part of it should be returned to them."

"Part of it?" Li Guang asked doubtfully.

"Li Buzheng, this matter may not be treated as an ordinary matter."

"How do you say this?"

"The implementation of the new policy of changing rice to mulberry in Gourong County is extremely slow, and certain punishments must be imposed, otherwise there will still be no progress next year," Wang He said.

"It's slow to convert rice into mulberry, so why not punish people by robbing people of their food?" Li Guang's temper suddenly boiled over.

"Li Buzheng calm down, there is nothing we can do about this matter. The imperial court is now going to change rice into mulberry. If it cannot be implemented, His Majesty the Emperor will be blamed. No one can afford it!" Wang He's tone was still very soft, "When the time comes,

I'm afraid that you, Chief Li, will also be implicated."

This is a threat in the softest tone, which is relatively common in officialdom.

Li Guang said: "The conversion of rice to mulberry was promoted by Qin Xianggong. I did not participate in this new policy, and I do not know much about the process of the new policy. However, this behavior of robbing the people of food involves

The people's livelihood on Jiangdong Road, as the chief envoy, I have the unshirkable responsibility!"

"Yes, Li Buzheng's teachings are correct." Wang He continued softly, "The lower officials are stupid. I wonder what Li Buzheng's wisdom is?"

This Wang He is definitely a standard official. What he is best at is Tai Chi.

The bureaucracy has a magical power: after a normal person enters it, he will immediately become a Tai Chi master.

"Return all the food!"

"Yes, I will take care of it now." Wang He agreed, "May I ask if Li Buzheng has any other instructions?"

"No more, you go and deal with this matter now. If you can't handle it well, I'll ask you the questions!"

"yes!"

After Wang He left, Li Guang immediately started writing a letter.

Who is he writing to?

Naturally, it was a secret report to Zhao Guan's family.

He knew that although Wang He agreed, once he passed this threshold, he would turn around and run to Qin Hui.

This matter involved the new policy of converting rice into mulberry, which Qin Hui was in charge of.

Now that the farmers are unwilling to change, they use harsh methods to punish them, which is naturally beneficial to Qin Hui's implementation of the new policy, and it is also beneficial to Wang He.

Wang He will not return the food obediently.

Some people have even divided the grain and resold it.

Li Guang had worked as a transshipment envoy on Gyeonggi Road before. How could he not know about food?

As expected by Li Guang, Wang He left the Chief Envoy Yamen, turned around and ran to Qin Hui's Comfort Envoy Yamen.

Of course, in addition to giving a secret report to Zhao Guan's family, Li Guang also replied to Mei Zhili with a letter.

When Li Guang handled this matter, he immediately showed his political wisdom.

Qin Hui led the new policy of converting rice into mulberry in Jiangdong. Now the people below are robbing the grain. If the court raises questions, they will send people to investigate.

Who to send?

Send the Su Provincial Court and local criminal and prison departments to investigate.

But Qin Hui is here, and a deputy prime minister is here. Who dares to really turn Jiangdong upside down to investigate?

Even if you turn it over and check, can you find Qin Hui?

If you can't kill Qin Hui and offend the deputy prime minister, what will be the consequences?

Which official dares to confront the deputy prime minister head-on?

Zhang Yang said: "Qin Hui is in trouble this time. He is so smart, but he makes mistakes in such a small matter."

"No, this matter has nothing to do with Qin Hui." Li Guang said.

"Didn't Qin Hui instruct them to do it?"

"Qin Hui was in power on the spot and came here to convert rice into mulberry under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. How could he shoot himself in the foot for such a small profit?"

"Then could it be that Wang He is good at making decisions in this matter?"

Li Guang said: "At least it was an official of Wang He's level who issued the order, otherwise the magistrate of Gourong County would not have the courage."

"Are they really not afraid of the court investigation?" Zhang Yang took a deep breath, "The Zhao family has killed so many people."

"Didn't you listen to Wang He and go back partially?" Li Guang said.

Zhang Yang took a deep breath: "If some of this goes back, the people will naturally stop making trouble, and the other part will be divided up by those people. How will Prime Minister Qin deal with this kind of thing?"

Li Guang said: "Based on my understanding of Qin Hui, he will turn a blind eye, so that the people below will get the fertilizer and water, and the people will not make trouble again. Next year, some people will probably find a way to sell the fields."

.”

"I understand. They are not doing this to convert rice into mulberry. They are forcing people to sell their fields. Someone will naturally take over and take over the government's subsidies. This is defrauding the government's money!"

"At that time, Qin Hui's mission was completed, local officials also got what they wanted, and those wealthy people also received subsidies from the court by buying fields. As for how the mulberry seedlings were planted in the end, no one cared.

It will happen in a few years." Li Guang said, "A few years later, Qin Hui is no longer in Jiangdong and has returned to Jiangdong to clean up the mess. But who can be sure that it was Qin Hui who caused that situation? Can it be verified?"

Zhang Yang said: "In this case, why did the Zhao official family send Qin Hui here? Don't the officials know that Qin Hui has selfish motives?"

Li Guang asked: "Then who do you think you can send to stop this situation?"

Zhang Yang had nothing to say for a while. He thought about it carefully. Since this incident was not instigated by Qin Hui, it would have happened no matter who he sent.

Because the court's policy is to provide subsidies, these subsidies are distributed by officials.

When the mutton is passed through your hands, a layer of oil will remain.

Even if Zhao Ding comes in person, the people below will find a way when they see the huge temptation of benefits.

"Li Buzheng, do you mean that this is a dead end?"

Li Guang smiled and said: "In your opinion, it is a dead end, but in the eyes of the officials, as long as Jiangdong can complete the conversion of rice into mulberry, it is not a dead end. Don't just focus on this matter, if they can

Successfully getting the people to accept the change from rice to mulberry, His Majesty the Emperor will not deliberately pursue the money, as long as it is not found out, but now..."

"Is Li Buzheng going to overthrow Qin?"

"I only gave a secret report to the officials, and only replied a decent letter to Shangshu Mei. Regarding Qin Hui's matter, I can't bring him down by making a big deal now. That would only be harmful to me, not beneficial to me.

The situation is of no use."

"Will the officials touch Qin Hui?"

Li Guang suddenly realized something and laughed: "If only Qin Hui promoted the conversion of rice to mulberry in Jiangdong, maybe the officials really couldn't move him, because no one can say for sure how the new policy will be implemented. Qin Hui will

There are a hundred ways to deal with it, but now Qin Hui is not the only one who is changing rice into mulberry."

Wang He ran to Qin Hui and said what Li Guang had just said.

Qin Hui said: "You should deal with this matter yourself. Don't make it a big deal. I just want the New Deal to go down. If anyone dares to make a big deal and bring it to the capital and make me unhappy, I will disappear. Understand

?"

Wang He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat: "Yes! Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I will handle this matter well."
