Chapter 914 Effects
Li Xun did not deliberately torture Xie Zhicheng. He beheaded him in a coma. This was the last touch of kindness that Li Xun gave to Xie Zhicheng.
After Li Xun killed Xie Zhicheng, he hung his head on the city wall and wrote down his numerous crimes with wooden signs.
Xie Zhicheng's killing made the people of Caozhou so happy. Many people remembered Li Xun and knew that there were still straight ministers in the current court who dared to stand up for the people.
The day after killing Xie Zhicheng, Li Xun summoned the governors of the prefectures and counties again.
This time, without the carelessness and negligence they had before, they arrived at the venue early, waiting for Li Xun's arrival.
Li Xun walked into the venue with a plain expression.
Everyone immediately stood up and bowed and saluted: "Meet the Prime Minister."
Li Xun sat down and said indifferently: "Sit all."
"Sir Xie Xiangguo."
Everyone sat down one by one, and everyone's expression was very serious. Xie Zhicheng's killing was undoubtedly a blow to them. Both psychologically and mentally gave them a strong shock, and at the same time they understood a truth. Li Xun was definitely not a joke when he went to Henan this time. Judging from his consequences and killing Xie Zhicheng, Li Xun was obviously planning to make a big move in Henan. At this time, if anyone dared to sing a counter-topic with him, his fate would probably be very miserable.
Huang Yuan laughed and said, "After Li killed Xie Zhicheng, the evil thief, the city was filled with joy. The people praised the Prime Minister for his reputation as the Prime Minister."
"Yes, the Prime Minister is determined and used thunder to eliminate Xie Zhicheng's evil tumor. The dark clouds blocking Caozhou suddenly dissipated. The light will surely shine in the future. The people have hope."
"The people of Caozhou..."
Everyone flattered and talked endlessly.
Li Xun tapped the table with his hand, and the sound immediately stopped. The scene suddenly fell into silence. He summoned everyone to come today, not to listen to these unnutritious words.
"If the problem is not solved, it will always be troublesome. If you can't swallow it, you can't throw it away even if you want to. What do I mean, you should understand."
"The Prime Minister's meaning is fully understood. Please rest assured. After returning, I will immediately convene all major families and grain merchants in the state and strictly order them to release grain and calm the price of grain. Whoever dares to continue to hoard grain and raise prices, I will never be ruthless. I will crack down on it severely and punish it severely."
Huang Yuan immediately made a statement.
"Wang Shaoqun's previous plan was very good. After returning from the job, he should implement it immediately and join hands with major grain merchants to calm the price of grain."
"The same is true for the humble vocation."
Immediately after Huang Yuan, the rest of the people expressed their attitudes.
Li Xun said indifferently: "If this is true, I, Li Xun, representing the millions of people in Henan, thank you."
"This is what a humble job should do, how dare you thank me?"
Everyone stood up again, not daring to thank him.
Li Xun tapped the table with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This time I came to Henan and brought a lot of food. When you leave, each of you can take away 50,000 food, which is my support for you."
After hearing Li Xun's words, everyone felt relieved. The reason why they expressed their positive attitude was that there was nothing they could do. They were afraid that one was not good, and they were afraid that they would be inseparable from Caozhou. Xie Zhicheng was the best Liezi.
But now, Li Xun is willing to give everyone 50,000 yuan of food, which gives them the confidence and capital to do things. After they go back, many things will be much easier to do.
Li Xun waved his hand, signaled everyone to sit down, and then continued, "You know whether the plan made by Wang Shaoqun was good or not, so I won't say much here. There are three points I want to explain to you. First, the people who return to their hometowns to farm and the things the government promised, must not break their promises. Give as much as you should. If you dare to deceive your superiors and hide your subordinates, Xie Zhicheng's head will be hung on the city wall. Whoever you want to be with him will be satisfied."
Li Xun's strong murderous warning made everyone feel cold.
Li Xun said: "The second point is that the government will continue to open warehouses for relief. Don't say there is no food. I don't care about this. If there is a large-scale starvation to death, ten people will die. If I kill the county magistrate and a hundred people, I will kill the governor. In addition, you will go to negotiate with the local wealthy families and landlords to reduce the rent and attract refugees to farm for them. I will set the time to die. Within three years, the rent of tenants will not increase at all. The longer the time, the better. You can talk to yourself."
Those refugees who have no land will still be oppressed and bullied when they get to the wealthy families and landlords, but at least they have land to plant. Although they have income on Weibo, they can barely save their lives. Li Xun has no choice but to do so. If millions of refugees have been wandering around like this, the disaster in Henan will never be resolved.
"The third point is that I have already negotiated with the grain dealer. They will soon transport a large amount of grain to Chizhou. You just need to do it according to the plan. I will help you solve the problem of grain as much as possible."
After saying this, Li Xun's face suddenly became cold and he said with a solemn look: "I have already helped you solve the problem. If the matter is not done well, what are the consequences? If I don't tell you, you should understand it yourself."
Li Xun stood up and finally said, "I don't care what you do, I will only look at the results. Ten days, I will give you ten days. Within ten days, within your jurisdiction, if the disaster has not improved significantly, you can find a tree to hang it on your own, so as not to dirty my hands."
Everyone was stunned and bowed and shouted: "We will never neglect the Prime Minister's order."
The meeting ended and everyone left.
Chen De whispered: "Sir, these people are not good birds, why don't you take this opportunity to take them all down?"
Chen He smiled and said, "Preserve the people first, and more than a dozen governors have been taken down. Who will do things and who will go to provide disaster relief? Killing Xie Zhicheng is enough to make them feel scared. They will never dare to neglect or hesitate about what the Lord ordered. The disaster management in Henan will be on track, which is enough."
