Chapter 327
"The Lord Inspector suddenly summoned us to wait, and it was at a time when we were so desperate, I think it must be to raise food, right?"

An old man in blue straight dress stroked his beard, and stood in front of the gate of the governor's mansion, talking eloquently, "I heard that the governor's lord is still a nobleman, and he has become an earl at a young age. His wife is even a well-known master of farm tools, tsk tsk, it seems that these two are people who are in the heart of the emperor. According to the old man..."

The old man stroked his beard and said solemnly: "When we enter the Governor's Mansion later, we have to show something. At least we are Earls and Governors. If we don't give any face, I'm afraid it won't be beautiful."

"Mr. Wu is right..."

"This is also a common practice, hmph! Of these officials, which one of them didn't want to ask for food from me when he took office, saying that it was for the people, but how many of them would really take out all the food to help those bastards?"

"Hey, Brother Bai, be careful with your words! This Earl Lu is someone who is in the heart of the emperor. If this word is passed on, it will be bad!"

"Hmph! How can my Bai family be afraid of a little governor? Don't say that Lu Anqing has kicked him out of the house. Even if he is Lu Anqing's son and is an official in Youzhou, without our support, he will not be able to make waves. Come!"

"That makes sense! Hmph, I heard that Mrs. Wu is also the distant niece of the chief assistant, Lord Su. Hehe, the background is not small, and each one is bigger than the other. Now I have been summoned, thinking that I can be recruited based on my status." Grain? Giving him 100 stone grain is still for the sake of the emperor!"

Most of the gentry are shrewd. They would rather have a lot of food moldy or rotten in the house than take it out to help the people.They have close contacts with the government, but hate the government for collecting food from them. They want this good reputation but are reluctant to spend money to do good deeds. They are really a bunch of bad people.

Of course, there are also good places, but there are only a few of them.

This time when they received Lu Shi's post to go to the ground, all the gentry knew what Lu Shi was up to without having to think about it.

What's going on in Youzhou right now, they know much better than the new governor.

One is short of money, two is short of food, and the governor is new to the world, the officials below are not of one mind with him, I am afraid that he has already done something to deceive the upper and lower, the treasury is already empty, right?
Of course, they won't sympathize with Mr. Lu because of this. They have to save their own food, so how can they sell it to you, a brat?If it weren't for the fact that he is the emperor's confidant, they wouldn't even want to come to the Governor's Mansion!

A group of people stepped into the governor's mansion chatting wantonly like they were in a vegetable market, and they didn't pay attention to the new governor at all.

Seeing this situation, Lu Erlang and Chang Damao, who were hiding not far away, immediately walked around to the backyard and told Lu Shi and Su Yun about it.

Lu Shi's face turned livid.

He never imagined that these gentry were so tricky, and they looked down on him very much, which made him very unhappy.

After all, you are young, your experience is still too little, and you are so young, how could you be subject to such slights, immediately patted the table and stood up, angrily said: "What a shame for the emperor! What a duplicity, a group of people People with vain reputations still dare to talk nonsense in front of the governor's mansion, let's see how I deal with them!"

"Brother Shi, calm down!"

Su Yun pressed Lu Shi, and said with a sneer: "Since ancient times, the gentry have not been a group of people who are easy to subdue. They falsely think that they are used to snakes, and their relationship with the government has always been delicate. Why are you so angry? Everyone in the world is for profit. As long as we catch their greedy hearts, we will not be afraid to subdue them!"

After finishing speaking, he blinked his eyes, and a hint of slyness flashed in his eyes, "This liquor is just a trick, hehe... The country does not allow private brewing of liquor, nor does it allow private reselling, but anyone who wants to resell brewing, if there is no official document..."

Su Yun didn't say any more. They are all smart people on the field, and Lu Shi is not stupid, just lack of experience.However, Su Yun's methods come from the baptism of information in his previous life. If he has been baptized a lot, some methods will be understood naturally.

Lu Shi sat down angrily, pondered Su Yun's words, and suddenly smiled coldly: "Young lady is right, as long as we hold these two things in our hands, we won't be afraid that they won't give in!"

Su Yun chuckled, and said: "Sooner or later, the method of making spirits will be unstoppable. There are always one or two craftsmen who can't stand the temptation or coercion. We might as well throw this out as a bait early and let them interact with each other." Competition, dog eats dog, the highest price wins! We just need to hold the paperwork for the liquor store..."

"What if this plan doesn't work?"

Lu Shi asked again.

Su Yun chuckled, and said, "Then let people secretly spread the secret of spirits."

Lu Shi shuddered, his wife really has no plans, and this method is more ruthless than him, she will be tricked into this, so is there any way out?
For a while, Lu Shi felt a little sympathetic to the gentry outside, and suddenly said to himself: "Amitabha! All benefactors should do their own thing, don't be too greedy."

After straightening her clothes and calming down, she stood up and said, "Then San Niang, I'm going..."

"Um……"

Su Yun took another step forward, straightened Lu Shi's clothes again, and said with a smile: "My husband, just do it boldly. In this world, people who are bold and timid have always been starved to death! Hmph, they are arrogant, we You're not stupid, you must squeeze the food out of their mouths first!"

"Ok!"

With the encouragement of his daughter-in-law, Lu Shi also had a trace of confidence in his heart. He felt that his wife was so fearless and had taken care of everything for him. If he lost his mind because of a few words from others, wouldn't it be Live up to my wife's painstaking efforts?
Thinking of this, Lu Shi straightened his back again, and walked towards the front yard with standard square steps.

"Master Inspector is here!"

The people who were discussing suddenly fell silent and looked at Lu Shi one after another.

Seeing that Lu Shi is still as rumored, not only has a good appearance, but also he is not like the people in the south.

It's just that this age is too young, right?

This Earl Lu is as debauched as the rumors are. He has already married a wife, but he has not even grown a beard. Just like children, it's really annoying for them to salute and greet such a young man!
But it’s okay to be unhappy, whether he is a governor or an earl, the rules should be done, this face can’t be torn for the time being!
"Greetings, Lord Inspector!"

After saying hello, before Lu Shi could respond, these people straightened their backs talking to themselves, and their contempt could be seen at a glance.

Lu Shi frowned slightly, but then remembered what his daughter-in-law said, and immediately stretched his brows, and said with a smile: "You are very polite, come and give me a seat!"
