Governor please stay

Chapter 472 None of the fish in Xuanwu Lake is innocent

On this day, Liu Yishou called several people currently staying in Jiankang to discuss matters in his mansion on Jiming Mountain.

In the study, Cui Xian put a small box in front of Liu Yishou and said, "Master, Jiankang and Sanwu places, the temples that were reported by others, and the materials of the descendants of the aristocratic family are all here."

Liu Yishou played two peaches to kill three scholars, provoking the inherent contradiction between the aristocratic family and Buddhism, and this trick was very successful.But if the conflict is stirred up, it doesn't mean that the two sides will kill each other immediately.

Only now has it entered the first stage, which is the stage of "small reporting".

Both sides have reported each other, and some people even fished in troubled waters.These people all tipped the inside story to Liu Yishou, hoping that the Central Court would stand up and "sanction" the other party.

"General Yang, I heard that both you and your wife believe in Buddhism, right?"

Liu Yishou asked Yang Zhongdao out of the blue.

"My lord, it is true."

Yang Zhong replied honestly, feeling uneasy.

"Then you lead a team of people and are responsible for taking people from the residences of those families who have committed crimes and ransacking their homes. Confiscated food and salaries are used for military use, and they are stored in Danyang warehouses."

Liu Yishou wrote a piece of paper, stamped his seal on it, and handed it to Yang Zhong.

The aristocratic family is flourishing, and there are direct lineages and concubines, and there are also houses scattered all over the place after separation.Attacking some of them will not hurt the foundation of the family itself.

It is also impossible for a family to be taken down and the whole family to rebel together.The children of the family with the same surname and the same family may never meet each other in their entire lives, and there are many people who only hear their names throughout their lives.

"Sand Sculpture King, you are responsible for going to the Buddhist temple to search the house. The temples involved in these materials, one will not pull, all the houses will be ransacked, and the principal criminal will be brought back to Jiankang, and the rest of the monks will be ordered to return to the vulgar. As for the allocation of temple fields and houses, I will let the elders You (Chen Yuankang) came to deal with it."

Liu Yishou also wrote a warrant, sealed it and handed it to Hu Luxian and said.

How could he expect the aristocratic family and the Buddhist temple to hack each other until they died?I am afraid that this kind of thing will not happen in 1000 years!Liu Yishou's many maneuvers before were nothing more than division and disintegration, making these people hostile to each other and not helping each other.

Now that the preliminary work has been completed, and now the court is acting in accordance with the law, if you have anything to explain, come to Taicheng and explain it in front of the emperor!

"My lord, grain and grass are being transported to the Danyang warehouse one after another. There are already many aristocratic families who are willing to give in and send the grain and grass over."

Chen Yuankang said with admiration.He also didn't expect that Liu Yishou would just play tricks, and many wealthy families would kneel down directly.

Liu Yishou's move is not to tell the big family members how to find fault with Buddhism, but to muddy the water and make these people feel a sense of crisis.

From time to time, use the method of "conclusive evidence" to bring to justice those who committed crimes among the children of the family, and from time to time seal down a certain temple that committed a crime.Then turn these cases into iron cases, and do not allow people to be fished out with money for atonement.

In this way, many weak-boned people will hand over food to save their lives.

Liu Yishou's purpose is actually very clear, hoarding a large amount of food and grass, and taking the lead in the possible large-scale military confrontation this year.

As for those land and land inspections and household registration checks, they are all important but not urgent matters, and they can be carried out little by little at a suitable time later.

"Well done, the grain and grass are transported to Xiangyang by water. The grain and grass in Shouyang are used to support the front line. After this year's autumn, there will probably be no problems."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly. Jiankang had been delivering food and grass to Yuwentai. He believed that not only his side was under pressure, but Gao Huan's side was also under a lot of pressure.

With the destruction of neutral forces everywhere, it is now time to compete for national strength. It is similar to the situation when Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty led his troops to the south decades ago, and the confrontation between the north and the south has become fierce.

As for Chen Qingzhi's situation where a single army can penetrate the enemy's country, the possibility of it happening in the near future is infinitely close to zero.

"My lord, the autumn harvest season in the north is about a month later than in the south, so be careful of Gao Huan's time lag."

Seeing Liu Yishou's full confidence, Yang Zhong couldn't help reminding him.

"Well, there are already soldiers and horses defending Xuanhu's side."

Liu Yishou waved his hand, signaling Yang Zhong to be calm.

At this moment, Yuan Shikang walked into the study room, bowed his hands to Liu Yishou and said, "Outside the mansion, Wei Can and Wei Zai from Webster's came to visit together, saying that they are thanking the lord for not killing him."

Things are finally done!

Liu Yishou felt a big stone fall in his heart, and his whole body felt relieved.Although he had an agreement with Wei An before, who can guarantee that Wei An will not get angry and end up hurting both sides?

"Invite them to come in, to the study."

At the beginning, Wei Can followed Xiao Gang and Wei Zai followed Xiao Lun. After being captured, they were both imprisoned in Jiankang Palace in Taicheng.Although it was said to be in custody, it was actually under house arrest. The two of them still lived a normal life, nothing more than being unable to leave the courtyard.

After Wei Can and Wei Zai came in, they clasped their sleeves together and bowed deeply to Liu Yishou in a very respectful manner.

"At the beginning, you followed the vassal king to make trouble, have you reflected on your guilt now?"

Liu Yishou asked with a smile.

"I have already reflected on it deeply."

The two said in unison.

Now Xiao Huan is sitting securely on the dragon chair, and Liu Yishou has even taken a lot of military power, which can be said to cover half of the day in Liang Guo.Even if they don't want to reflect, they still have to reflect on it!

"Okay, you will serve in our army, and you will have a chance to atone for your crimes soon. Go to the barracks outside the city to do something."

Liu Yishou arranged the two of them clearly with one word!
Without these two people in his army, how could Wei An lead his troops in Xuanhu to be honest?What if this guy is crazy about paddling for fish?
Liu Yishou has never believed how impregnable the so-called "promise" is.

A promise without restraint is nothing but an illusory firework.I have seen countless "promises" between scumbags and prostitutes in my previous life. Liu Yishou will not be so naive as to pin his hopes on other people's "keeping promises".

As long as Wei An can't keep the Henan line of defense hanging on the front line, Liu Yishou will mercilessly execute Wei Can and Wei Zai for the "crime of treason".As for why this crime was charged, because these two people were on the side of the vassal king at the beginning, shouldn't they be executed for granted?

He kept this backhand for a long time, and now he finally used it.

After Wei Can and Wei Zai left, Liu Yishou stood up and stretched his waist and said, "Come on, let's go fishing by Xuanwu Lake, and turn left after leaving the mansion."

He was a little eager to try, and planned to go to the woodshed to get the fishing rod.

Several people in the room had strange expressions on their faces, and were silent for a while.In the end, it was Chen Yuankang who asked, "Master, with so many of us going fishing, is it not good for the fish here?"

Yang Zhong fled from Beidi all the way to Qingxu when he fled. Fishing is a survival skill, and he was honed to a proficient level. Those in the know gave him the nickname "Fishing King".

Old Chen has a high EQ, so it is impossible to say that Liu Yishou will not be able to fish and return to food. Everyone just thinks that it is a cruel thing for Liu Yishou to participate in this fishing competition.

"No, none of the fish here in Xuanwu Lake is innocent, so don't feel sorry for the fish here."

Liu Yishou said meaningfully, as if he meant something, but he didn't seem to have any other meaning.

And Chen Yuankang always felt that Liu Yishou was talking about those big families.

……

In Yecheng, in the recording room of the Ba Mansion, Cui Jishu is sorting out the inventory of the mansions in various places this year, one by one, into a book.

After several days of statistical calculation, it is finally completed at this moment.

Then he was startled by the empty warehouses everywhere in the books.

If it wasn't for the various places, especially Hebei's prefect and Xingtai chief Shi, who intentionally cheated and concealed it, then maybe something big will happen to Wei in the next few months!Moreover, Gao Huan's plan to dispatch troops could not be fulfilled at all!

He hurried to find Sun Teng, but saw Sun Teng drinking in his office room, already drunk!
"Sun Shangshu, Sun Shangshu, look at this ledger!"

Cui Jishu yelled, shaking Sun Teng's arm.

"What can't we talk about tomorrow?"

Sun Teng grunted, then rubbed his aching head, and casually took the account book.

He turned a page, but found that the handwriting on the account book was shaking, so he simply closed the account book and closed his eyes to rest.

After a long time, Sun Teng regained his strength, sighed and asked, "What's the matter, just talk about it, and I won't read the account book."

Sun Teng, as Minister of the Book, was in charge of too many things. Now that there was no battle to fight, all the central government affairs were on his head, which made Sun Teng very troubled.

"In the treasuries of the counties and counties, there is not much food and grass left."

Cui Jishu said in a low voice.

Sun Teng thought he had heard wrong.

"There is a plain in Hebei, and there are thousands of miles of fertile fields. You told me that there is no food and grass?"

Sun Teng asked back in a daze, most of the wine was sober.

Gao Huan also planned to send troops to Henan in the near future, so that Liang Guo would be caught off guard!Why is there no food?
"Check to see if anyone is obedient and violating. If the prefect can't do it, replace the prefect."

Sun Teng said weakly.

"Sun Shangshu, the treasury has detailed expenditures, and my subordinates have already calculated them. They were indeed taken out as military supplies. If we want to go to war again, we can only wait until after the autumn harvest in Hebei this year."

Cui Jishu said a little aggrieved.

He has carefully calculated these days, and the account books sent by the counties and counties are indeed a little tricky, but overall the problem is not big, they are all minor details.Even if these are excluded, there is not much food in the treasuries of various places.

What's more, they have to support Gao Aocao and others in Qingxu all the time, and Youzhou's taxes and food cannot be collected. The goods, grain and grass must be handed over to Youzhou Xingtai for unified deployment.

"Indeed, the use of troops in the past two years has been too much."

Sun Teng sighed with emotion.

The use of troops against Nanyang before cost a lot of food and grass, and Jinzhou has been fighting, and production has not returned to the previous level.Hebei's foundation is indeed very strong, but it can't afford such consumption.

"Now, King Gao wants to use troops in Henan, what do you think should be done?"

Sun Teng looked at Cui Jishu and asked.This person comes from the Cui family of Boling, and he is good at recording, building and accounting, which is a rare talent.He followed Gao Cheng before, but for some reason, now Gao Huan placed him in the Shangshu Mansion.

Sun Teng vaguely noticed that Gao Huan's attitude towards Gao Cheng had slightly changed.Moreover, he recently taught the second son Gao Yang, and found that Gao Yang is extremely talented, good at summarizing, and understanding by analogy.

He felt that Gao Yang's talent was by no means inferior to Gao Cheng's. Of course, he would not casually tell Gao Huan this.

"Sun Shangshu, for the current plan, we have to wait until the autumn harvest. There is no other way. On the battlefield, only food and grass are the most honest things. Without food and grass, no matter how hard you toss, you can't make flowers."

Cui Jishu said helplessly.

This is what he said from his heart. Although it offends people, it is better than not saying it.If you don't say it, when Gao Huan's army sets out to go ahead with food and grass, he will be punished if he can't produce food and grass!
"Okay, okay, let's go down and get busy."

Sun Teng waved his hand impatiently, signaling Cui Jishu to get out of here.

The latter bowed and left.

After Cui Jishu left, Sun Teng stood up and walked slowly in the room.

Whether it is him or Gao Huan, there is an inherent impression that if Hebei is controlled, the tiller will have the land, and the development will be stable, so the food and grass will be inexhaustible.

But the actual situation is that everything has a limit, and if you exceed the limit, you will pull your hips.Although Hebei's strength is strong, it has its limits.

After Gao Huan occupied Yecheng and established a political power, he and the people under his command believed that their strength had been expanded infinitely.Now Cui Jishu reminded Sun Teng that the boundaries of Wei's national power are in these books.

"It seems that we still have to talk to King Gao." Sun Teng sighed and said to himself.

Gao Huan is also very busy recently!

His concubine Mrs. Han is pregnant, and the beautiful widow Mrs. Wang who has just acquired it for less than two months is also found to be pregnant. Many people in the Bafu privately say that this child is not Gao Huan's. .

But Gao Huan did not ask Wang to kill the child, but still favored him as before.This move made Gao Huan's civil servants and generals quite emotional.He believes that Gao Huan is "capable of what people can't", and he deserves to be the protagonist.

Sun Teng also thought of Gao Huan's third son, Gao Lang, who was as his name suggests, ignorant, lazy, and carefree.The more he looked at the child's face, the more he felt like Liu Yishou.

Especially the eclectic and frivolous expression in the eyebrows and eyes, almost carved out of the same mold.It is said that Lou Zhaojun disappeared for a period of time and came back with Gao Lang. Could it be that...

Sun Teng didn't dare to think about it anymore, he felt that Gao Huan must have known about this.Seeing that Gao Huan didn't even care about the child in the widow Wang's belly, it seemed understandable to endure that Lou Zhaojun gave birth to a son who was not his own.

After washing his face, Sun Teng took the account book to Gao Huan's study and put it on the other's desk.

"King Gao, we are out of food and grass, and if we send troops to Henan, I'm afraid we will be powerless."

Sun Teng whispered, but found Gao Huan sitting in front of the desk in a daze, as if he didn't hear him at all.

"No more food and grass? Let's send troops after the autumn harvest."

Gao Huan said absent-mindedly, it seemed that what he said didn't mean anything.

"Does Gao Wang have something on his mind?"

Sun Teng asked suspiciously.

"Indeed!"

Gao Huan sighed, and said with some disappointment: "Ah Cheng humiliated the woman of a certain family in Ye City, and even killed the sufferer."

this matter?
Sun Teng suddenly felt as if he had heard similar things somewhere, and it was very familiar.

"For the matter of food and grass, you should keep an eye on it first. I'll go and see this unworthy man now."

Gao Huan's tone was very calm, but Sun Teng could tell something was wrong.

"King Gao, it is not advisable to dispose of the elders and establish the younger ones!"

Sun Teng grabbed Gao Huan's cuff and begged.

"This king has no intention of abolishing the son, so Longque can rest assured."

Gao Huan patted Sun Teng's hand, signaling him to be calm.Although he said this, Sun Teng could clearly feel that Gao Huan had definitely considered this matter seriously!

He knew a lot about Gao Huan, and if Gao Huan was furious, it meant that he was just performing it for others, and he had other thoughts in mind.On the contrary, when Gao Huan said something calmly, he had already considered the consequences in his heart.
