The situation in the city is not optimistic.

It was the fourth day after the rebels siege, and Lao Pei could not resist the suspicion.

Cai You, who could not sit still, went to the county government office to see Zhao Cheng in his private identity and went straight to the point. "The refugees who were placed in the city by you in violation of regulations are now counted on the list. In addition to the smoky and smoky everywhere, there are more and more robbery and theft incidents, and there are increasingly serious trends. You know, there is a reason why the imperial court prohibits refugees from entering the city in special times. Once it continues and cannot be controlled, chaos will be in front of you. Without Wang Xiu's attack on the city, the city will have to kill and trample on one another!"

In addition to writing about worrying about the country and the people all day long, Lao Cai is also good at acting. He looks older than before, but he looks like a saint.

On the other hand, in winter, Zhao Cheng looked more vulgar than usual in addition to being quiet, and could not maintain the feathered fan and Lun Scarf's style of pretending to be so arrogant. He was wrapped like a bear and could not live without a brazier.

"Why don't you respond to this state, or do you really choose not to know these things?" Cai You asked.

Zhao Cheng was really selective and didn't know because he couldn't say it.

Hesitant Shaoqing nodded slightly, "The Xiaguan knows the situation. In fact, any current situation will be fed back to you, but will also be fed back to the Xiaguan."

"Then how do you explain these? The state has received more and more complaints, and they are almost jointly forced to palace. I don't care about military issues, let it go, but this is a matter of people's livelihood."

Cai You deliberately paid attention and did not dare to speak too much, otherwise if this guy was upset now, everyone would cry. In fact, Zhao Cheng, the only one who is more than 100,000 people in Chizhou City is confident that he can keep it.

Zhao Cheng said, "To be honest, my rich family's wine and meat may not be stinking, but it is mostly certain. I did say that I could control the refugees and let them in. But in the heart, people have to eat. In this cold and cold season, the livelihoods and homes of refugees are not in the city. In this case, they are hungry. In order for their babies to survive the spring of the twelfth lunar month, they go to get some food. How can they be considered stealing and robbing?"

"you……"

It is precisely because Cai You was a witty treacherous minister that he felt that his theory was thought-provoking. Whether he agreed or not was another saying, Cai You was one of the few people in the dynasty who could understand and felt some truth.

"The magistrate, my conscience is true. No matter how great my prestige is, Zhao Cheng, no matter how many people believe me, I, cannot let them not eat." Zhao Cheng emphasized in particular.

Cai You stomped his feet anxiously, "I understand, I understand, what you said makes sense, and I understand. The problem is that you have had a bad record before and forced someone to buy cloth for a bargain. Now the so-called stealing and robbery problems occur dozens a day, and everyone is in danger. Those rich people are not afraid of refugees but are afraid of you. Do you know that they are afraid that you will buy food like "buy" cloth. In this season, everyone knows how important food is. If it continues, stampedeship and civil strife will inevitably occur in the city. Maybe Wang Xiu suddenly stopped siege and wait for this situation."

"Not maybe."

Zhao Cheng shook his head decisively, "He Wang Xiu is just waiting for this matter."

Cai You continued to stamp his feet, "So you need to show your attitude now, what will you do next?"

Zhao Cheng said, "What I can do is obviously not the point. The key is to have food. I will do whatever I have."

"You, you..."

Cai You jumped up and said, "After talking, I'm just going to snatch it, right?"

Zhao Cheng instead threw the ball to him, "It's okay if you don't rob it, so let's take the lead in doing their work. I'm blushing and sharpening my knife scares people. You go and persuade the good people, and then beat the government's white slips at a suitable price to let them release food. Helping me fight this battle will be beneficial to everyone. To put it bluntly, everyone knows what Wang Xiu will do after entering the city. Are the worst people really the people at the bottom? Not necessarily, they will certainly be killed or injured, but Wang Xiu's first goal is definitely those rich rich people with great family and great business, and there is no doubt about this."

Cai You was frustrated and his cheeks twitched slightly, "Boy, you said it easy. If you give less money, you can't balance it. If you give more money, you will become a bad person. If you give more money, you will be a poor person. Even if you win the war, the government will owe at least 200,000 yuan in debt. If you have borrowed Lao Chen's money, do you think their money is good? Why is it still a problem? In the mistake of letting refugees enter the city in violation of regulations, how can you explain this bad debt to the court? In the end, it's not the state to cover it?"

Zhao Cheng said with a strange expression: "I heard that the adults are writing a 'diary' in recent days?"

Cai You couldn't help but blushed slightly, thinking that it must be what Cai Wenji said, "Before she got married, she had already followed someone's surname in advance and her arm was out."

"What do you want to say?" Cai You was a little wary.

"In this way, I will help you with another idea."

Zhao Cheng suddenly had a trick, "The current situation in Chizhou, from your standpoint, you need to make a judgment: in March, the Jiangnan East Road area will be filled with the imperial army. As a husband who is worried about the country and the people, even if the rebels have already besieged the city and are not willing to die, you still need to lay the groundwork for the imperial army to quell the chaos in a few months."

At this point, Cai You was moved.

Zhao Cheng continued, "So the army prepared food before it arrived. You will take the lead in the local tyrants to 'forced purchase' food. Don't use my reputation as Zhao Cheng in war, but use the materials that must be prepared for the royal army that is about to come to spring."

Khan, Cai You felt a clever plan when he heard this. If you use this reason, you will dare to eat even the ugly appearance.

Finally, Zhao Cheng said, "Of course you can't just write this 'diary', but how can you hide and implant the above information in your book "The Days of the Rebels' Siege", and finally the court knew that these technical work would not require students to teach you. Cai Wenji said that you only know these things."

Cai You was both embarrassed, angry and happy, and finally he snorted with a complicated look, and shook his sleeves out. Thinking, he was embarrassed to beat Xiao Zhao, so he had to go to beat that dead girl...

Life in poverty is almost the same no matter how you live.

People at the bottom of the country who have accepted their fate but have not gone up the mountain are relatively easy to talk. In peacetime, they keep running ineffectively for their livelihood. Now it is similar. As long as the food is gone, they can accept it by having a meal at this time.

Moreover, they believe that Zhao Cheng also listens to Zhao Cheng's words. Now, many people are thinking that Zhao Cheng can end the war as scheduled, and then catch up with the spring plowing. Everyone drags their families to take root in the ridges of the fields, and watches the beauty of the seedlings tired and busy, and then counts on the next year and enters the next cycle.

Spring is not a good season, but watching the young seedlings tremble in the wind without fighting and killing, it is actually the beauty of the earth in the eyes of these people. At least that's what the little girl Abao feels.

As for wealthy days, they seem complicated and are always worried about gains and losses.

This type of people don’t like to lose but want to win. They originally expected to sell 400,000 yuan of grain, but now they use the army’s capital to make a big spoil, and only 200,000 yuan of white slips were sold to Cai You. Even if it was still a profit, they felt that they had lost.

Therefore, Zhao Cheng also has to admit that work is not divided into high and low. Cai You is under pressure from Cai You, and these tasks are really his. If Zhao Cheng cannot complete it, those who have no family background and no foundation are generally not a bird. Therefore, Zhao Cheng only has two simple options: "starving to death and killing them to share food".

Simply put, Cai You is called reform, changing the profit and distribution model of their capitals. Zhao Cheng's option is called reshuffle or revolution.

There is no distinction between high and low in strategy, it is just the difference in values ​​and means.

As for the technicality and difficulty, of course, it is much more powerful than Cai You, and ordinary people really cannot complete it. Why?

Because to put it simply, reform is to cut one's own flesh to others, and revolution is to cut others with a knife.

Of course, it is easier to chop others than to cut yourself. There are many more people killed in the world than suicide, which is very ironclad evidence.

In any case, I see truck after truck of food being pulled out of the mansions of the local tyrants and being distributed in the refugee and poor settlement areas. Although the situation is not very good, it has been further stabilized.

From the previous seventy or eighty-year-old incidents of stealing or even robbing food every day, it has dropped to less than ten cases every day now. Zhao Cheng thinks that he is in good control.

The bad thing is that Cai You became a crossing rat among the powerful class, and it is not an exaggeration to say it is a shame. There are rumors that Lao Cai has learned bad things with Xiao Zhao.

Cai You almost got angry to death after hearing these rumors.

In the dictionary of the magistrate, Ji Lai did not need to please the people. Cai You Zi Lai believed that being an official would not offend the local tyrants and the court, and not being scolded by the people was considered the best.
