"What's going on in front?" Cui Heng walked down from the carriage, looked at the people in Lu County in front, and asked Liu Litao next to him.

"This, I'm afraid this is the handwriting of Sun Panshi and others." Liu Litao trembling with anger, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, these people are already regardless of the law and of natural morality. Most of these people are They were all bewitched!"

"I’m afraid there are thousands of people. It’s such a great ability!" Cui Heng sneered, to Hui Shi, "Go ahead and ask, in the end What's the matter?"

"Yes! Your lord!" Hui Shi saluted and took orders.

"Those people, I am afraid they are watching our jokes." Cui Heng glanced at the Lu County city wall in the distance, said with a smile, "Liu Juncheng, let the soldiers prepare to release the grain. , Put the salt!"

After he accepted the presidency of Lu County, he left Liu Litao by his side as the county chief, which helped him quickly understand the affairs of Lu County and collect the sentiments of sentient beings. Also more convenient.

"Yes! My lord!" Liu Litao quickly nodded, and exclaimed, "My lord is really predictable. I had expected this obstacle a long time ago."

" go go go ." Cui Heng waved his hand to say with a smile.

This Liu Litao's official habits remained unchanged, and he did not leave the flattery in three sentences. Fortunately, he was sincere in his work, and the soldiers behind were quickly mobilized.

The entourage of Cui Heng to Lu County is not too few.

In addition to Hui Shi, Xu Fengan, Liu Litao, and Qian Cang, there are more than a dozen victims who originally fled from Dachang County to Juhe County as soldiers.

New officials take office in different places, especially when they come to places like Lu County where pits have been dug, you must make preparations in advance.

If you want to gather people's hearts, want to gain the love of the people, and collect positive emotions, you must have someone you can use to do things at first.

The number must be at least a dozen.

These former victims of Dachang County are undoubtedly the best choice.

They are absolutely loyal to Cui Heng, and even think that their life is Cui Heng's.

On the other hand, it was also because Cui Heng brought a lot of materials to Lu County, which needed transportation.

It is true that he can also use spell to make those materials after he arrives in Lu County, but in that case it is a fisherman.

You can only harvest your emotions once on a large scale, and there is no follow-up.

After a bowl of water flooded the fifty thousand army in Juhe County, he did not receive many sentient beings.

This is not in line with the concept of sustainable development.

It is better to arrange more manpower, step by step will be better.

……

As soon as Hui Shi arrived at Lu County city gate, a dozen people immediately surrounded him.

"Guardian, you are from Sir County Guard, please let Sir County Guard give us a way to survive. We can't afford food!"

" I beg Sir County Guard not to raise the price of food, these little people can't afford it, please beg the official, let me give you a way to survive!"

"There is also the Yan family, my family is already I haven’t dared to eat salt for three days. The child’s body is getting weaker and weaker, and he is still growing! "Wu wu wu!!!" , Hui Shi is almost completely enclosed.

zheng!

Hui Shi shook the steel knife around his waist slightly, looked around all around coldly, shouted: "Everyone, the prefect is alive, love the people like Son, don't get excited, your sir, he will definitely help you solve the problem!"

Ordinary people are afraid of swords, and seeing this battle, they all take a few steps back subconsciously.

"How to solve it, can he still spit out the money he eats?!"

At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "I've heard about it a long time ago , Xinjunshu, grain merchants, and salt merchants conspired to raise the price several times, and got half of the commission!"

"Who is talking nonsense!" Hui Shi screamed and wanted to go out and check. But surrounded by people on the inner and outer three floors, they simply couldn't move.

"Official man! Is this true, the prefect is getting commission from the merchant?"

"Official man! Have mercy on us! If this continues, we will all live I can’t go down anymore!"

"Official man, manpower......"

The voices of no hundreds of people buzzed in Hui Shi’s ears, making him extremely irritable. , Almost couldn't help but hack someone.

But these people are not Huang Family in Juhe County, so they cannot kill at will.

He can only hold it back forcibly.

However, Hui Shi is after all a Martial Artist of Qi Condensation. It is still possible to use True Qi to slowly push away these people and return to Cui Heng.

"My lord, the situation is not optimistic." Hui Shi reported in the past, saying solemnly: "Someone is mixing among these people to instigate divorce, saying that you, your lord, are partnering with merchants to compete with the people for profit."

"Have you found out who it is?" Cui Heng asked.

"The subordinates were surrounded by the people and couldn't find out." Hui Shi nodded a little ashamed.

"It's okay." Cui Heng smiled and said. "You go over again and tell these people that you can buy food and salt at half the usual price. Each person is limited to 20 catties of food and one catty of salt.

"However, every Everyone who comes to receive food and salt must talk about the merchants who are driving up the price of food and salt. Then you will organize manpower and record all these. "

"Yes! grown ups! "Hui Shi took the order to return immediately.

"My lord, I have found that person just now. "Xu Fengan, who pretended to be an old scholar, asked in confusion, "Why don't you let me catch him directly?" "

"If you show up, there is no way to cut weeds and eliminate the roots. "Cui Heng lightly said with a smile, glanced at the gate tower on the city wall, "They all know you." ”

……

At this time, in the gatehouse on the Lu County city wall.

Sun Panshi and Wang Jinsheng are sitting opposite each other and drinking, looking playfully Looking at the scene outside.

"Virtuous Brother Wang, how do you say Governor Cui will respond to the turbulent public opinion? "

Sun Panshi drank a glass of wine, said with a big smile, "This is probably the first new county guard to be blocked by the people in the city gate in history!" hahaha! "

"Brother Sun, haven't you found the twenty-odd big cars brought by the new county guard?" "Wang Jinsheng didn't answer any rhetorical questions, but looked outside, lightly said with a smile, "I'm afraid there is a lot of food inside." "

"How is it possible, can he still move grain from Juhe County to here to help the people?" Sun Panshi shook his head, "Besides, Juhe County has been poor for a long time, so how can there be so much grain to transport?" "

"When this Chief Cui was in Juhe County, he opened a warehouse to release grain and rescued thousands of victims. "Wang Jinsheng still looked outside, "I don't think he will be difficult for him at this level. We should prepare the next countermeasures." "

"The virtuous brother is worried..." Sun Panshi still didn't believe it very much, but when he saw the changes outside, he stood up abruptly and shouted in shock, "How is it possible, he Really brought so much food? ! "

"Not only food, but also salt! "Wang Jinsheng's eyes became slightly fascinated, and suddenly said with a smile, "hahaha, this is interesting. If it is too easy to be suppressed, it will make this Young Master feel bored." "

"Oh, it's just an act of buying people's hearts!" "Sun Panshi is still unconvinced, said with a sneer, "After these days of publicity, the image of the new county guard and merchants in partnership with the people for profit is unchangeable!"

"Even if he eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's gallbladder after entering the city and dare to do something to those merchants, his image will not be good in the hearts of the people, but he just thinks that he is an abandon one's benefactor after achieving one's goal !"

……

Cui Heng brought 20 carts of grain and 5 carts of salt.

Of course, the food is not enough to sell to these tens of thousands of refugees, so it is first-come, first-served.

Then, I promised that there will be more in the future, all of which can be purchased at the county guard's office.

And we will do our utmost to reduce the prices of food, salt and other people’s livelihood industries.

In this way, the people will naturally disperse.

Even if there is a support inside, it will not play a role in the face of real food and salt.

"Has the merchant's information been written down?" Cui Heng asked Hui Shi.

"Reporting back to your lord, I wrote it down." Hui Shi nodded, with an angry expression on his face, "A total of 13 grain merchants and six salt merchants, all invariably increased their prices by seven. Double!"

"Okay!" Cui Heng nodded lightly.

"My lord, although you sold them food at half price, some people still think this is an act of buying people's hearts." Hui Shi said with some worry, "I still think you are in the same group as those merchants. "

"It's okay." Cui Heng waved his hand, did not say anything else, and returned to the carriage directly, "Into the city!"

……

In After handling the city gate incident, Cui Heng succeeded in assuming the post of Lu County's prefect.

Sun Panshi and others are waiting for the new county guard to make a move.

Three days have passed.

No news from the county guard house came out.

I only know that Cui Heng is arranging people around him to hold various positions.

There seems to be no sign of doing it.

Furthermore, in the past three days, grain and salt have been transported from Juhe County through the Honghe River.

It is still sold to the people at half price!

As if the food and salt over there are inexhaustible.

This made Sun Panshi and other popular people almost scolded their mothers. They couldn't even find the people to go to the county government to make trouble.

I can only curse Cui Heng's food and salt quickly.

After ten days, the food and salt are still continuously.

There is no sign of breaking up.

The city of Lu County has even begun to circulate songs praising the new county guard.

Sun Panshi and others can bear it, but their major grain merchants and salt merchants can't stand it.

For more than half a month without a penny, it will explode if it is a merchant.

So, first, some merchants began to buy grain from the people at twice the price, and then sold it at three times the original price.

Food and salt are important, but wealth also understands people's hearts.

It is inevitable that some people can't help but be tempted to sell some of the grain and salt in their hands.

This has led to the fact that the overall price of food and salt remains high despite the continuous existence of half-price food and salt.

The people soon began to spontaneously picket those who sold grain and salt to merchants.

So the grain merchants and salt merchants quickly tripled the purchase price.

More people secretly sell food and salt.

The available price has also increased to five times, which is almost seven times the original price.

At this time, the grain and salt transported from Juhe County suddenly stopped!

The county government's office also issued a notice that there is really no food and salt to transport.

The price of food and salt instantly skyrocketed to fifteen times the original price!

Sun Panshi and others celebrated.

The merchants celebrated with a banquet.

The people are furious, but there is nothing to do.

The whole city of Lu County has almost become a powder keg.

It will explode at one point.

Finally, a large number of people couldn't help it, and they ran to the county guard's yamen to file a complaint, hoping that Sir County Guard would severely punish these illegal merchants.

No one was instigated this time, everyone was spontaneous, and they just went to the prefect for help.

Rather than questioning.

In the past month, the image of the new county guard by the strength of oneself confronting the grain merchants and salt merchants in the city has been established in the hearts of the people.

No one will believe that Cui Heng is in the company of those merchants.

In the county guard's office.

Cui Heng took a list and said to Hui Shi who was on standby: “Thirteen grain merchants, six salt merchants, nine medicine halls, twelve carbon merchants, seven …These have been checked out, right."

"Yes, adults, they have been checked out." Hui Shi respectfully said.

"What is the attitude of the people?" Cui Heng asked again.

"My lord, the people all over the city have sincerely admired you now." Hui Shi admires Cui Heng's actions so much that it truly gathers people's hearts.

If you ransack these merchants home when you first enter the city, you will definitely not have the people's support as they are now, and maybe you will be stigmatized as a donkey.

"Okay!" Cui Heng nodded said with a smile. Now, the first goal has been achieved.

So, he was about to take the list on the table, said solemnly, "Hui Shi Hearing! The above merchants, all of the above-mentioned merchants, all ransack their homes, and choose a day for public trial! If there is a blocker, kill it on the spot!"

The pigs are fattened.

It's time to kill!
