fake prince

Chapter 436

Su Ziji listened quietly.

After Liu Zhan finished speaking, he looked closely at the young man in front of him. His eyes were lowered and he listened carefully. It really made people feel extremely quiet, and also contained an aura that could stir up storms at any time.

Such a person actually came from a poor family?

It's unbelievable.

The more he looked at Su Ziji's aura, the more Liu Zhan felt that he couldn't figure out a clue, and thought to himself: "I still don't learn the art of secrets, and I can't see the details."

"It would be great if Huidao was here."

In fact, there are many chilling people in the world, 90.00% of the cases are, you chilling, I don't care.

Only special and irreplaceable people have this emotion.

Liu Zhan could only continue the topic just now, and said: "You are now acting as the deputy of the county, and you happen to be in charge of the treasury. Although the deficit is caused by the former officials, the responsibility is not yours, but it can be solved, and it can also relieve the urgent need. .”

But after saying this, Liu Zhan shook his head again: "But the fact is that it is difficult to deal with. Even Qi Hongxin has been the magistrate for more than ten years and has made deep connections. There is no way. You don't have to force it, just do your best. "

Su Ziji listened, nodded, and said: "This matter is difficult to say, but easy to say."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Liu Zhan asked immediately.

Su Ziji shook his head: "I only have an idea on this matter, so it's not easy to say it in advance. When it's done, Xueshi Liu will naturally know."

"Forget it." Seeing that Su Ziji didn't want to say more, Liu Zhan was not a person who likes to force others to make things difficult for him except demons. Although he was curious, he nodded his head: "Then I will wait and see."

"Just don't think about raising taxes. The former prefect just felt that there was a big deficit and wanted to raise taxes to make up for it. However, he encountered floods, which made things worse and caused civil unrest. That's why the boat capsized."

"Now not only are officials dismissed, but their responsibilities are also investigated. I am afraid that they will not escape execution."

Su Ziji has never been exposed, but Liu Zhan still has a good impression of him, reminding him.

"Of course not... the bachelor will stay in Shun'an Mansion for a while?" Su Ziji changed the subject and asked curiously, "I thought the bachelor would follow Mr. Luo to inspect various places."

"Stay in Shun'an Mansion for a while to see the situation of the locust plague here. If there is nothing wrong, it will not be too late to catch up with the official ship. I just came out along the way. I am not an attache on a temporary post, so I am not restricted." Liu Zhan Say it casually.

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the locust that happened to fly over their heads, and his face was a little heavy.

People like him have lived for a long time and traveled to many places. In fact, they have seen such disasters several times.

But to be honest, according to Buddhist teachings, supernatural powers are not as good as karma, and unless there is money and someone else, a real person cannot rely on his own power, or even the power of a single school, to eliminate the disaster in this house.

Not to mention, it is not just a prefecture or a county that has the potential for locust plagues.

"I see that you seem to be busy with something. Go and get busy with your business. If there is a chance, we will see you again soon." Looking away, Liu Zhan said to Su Ziji for some reason.

Su Ziji is actually impatient to chat with Liu Zhan here, unless he meets monsters, this person has a good personality, and he might become a friend of the year-end, but he is not the same person at all.

Su Ziji has never forgotten, from the memory he has learned, the practice of the Yin Guan sect.

It's just a conflict of interests, easy to handle, just coercion and temptation.

Just a battle of ideas is easy to handle. The human will has always succumbed to the flesh.

The combination of ideas and interests is difficult, and it often becomes the so-called steel.

Su Ziji then bowed his hands and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

Turned around and left quickly.

The armored soldiers following Su Ziji, who had been a dozen steps away just now, followed.

When he got back to the ox cart, Cen Rubai was standing and talking to the farmer, seeing him coming back, he immediately smiled: "My lord, you can be regarded as coming back, but you are about to leave?"

Su Ziji nodded: "Let's go."

After getting into the ox cart, he walked along with the wobble, and when he was far away, Cen Rubai said to Su Ziji: "I asked the farmers nearby, and I heard that the mines and salt in Shun'an Prefecture are all government-run. "

"Is there a salt lake in Shun'an Prefecture?" Su Ziji responded.

Cen Rubai nodded: "There is a salt lake, which can produce salt, but although it is operated by Shun'an Prefecture, it is subject to the control of the Salt Commissioner, so it is difficult to intervene. In comparison, because there are many mountains, there are more mines of all kinds."

"There are also some workshops, which are also government-run."

"Are these all government-run, can they be transferred to private or leased?" Su Ziji asked.

Cen Rubai smiled: "Wei Shizu has a metaphor, all the world produces copper and iron state capitals, listen to people's private mining, the government sets its system, and collects its taxes!"

"This dynasty is half-official and half-private, and controls have been strengthened. All gold and silver are included in the government. However, there are still several types of mines that are allowed to be operated by the private sector and can be leased to the private sector."

When Cen Rubai said this, he shook his head again: "I'm afraid it's hard to find out about this matter if you inquire about it casually. You need to go to the field to inspect it."

"Also, the lease of these mines is the income of the prefecture. There is a quota and cannot be modified at will. Many of them are related households. If you want to move, you should be cautious."

Su Ziji leaned back on the cushion and smiled: "Of course, a politician should not offend the wealthy family."

The so-called not to offend the wealthy family, many stunned youths are not convinced, in fact, it is very simple, it is the balance of power, they are not unable to do it, but they cannot run rampant.

"However, even if you don't offend the rich family, it's just a general theory. I can kill one or two of those small and medium-sized rooms, or those rich rooms that have black, dirty, and human lives."

"You have friends from the Jianghu people, first check those gang-like mine owners."

"Master, I feel relieved after thinking about this." Cen Rubai also smiled: "So, you plan to go to the yamen after a while?"

"That's right. I have some thoughts on the original deficit, and it may be resolved." Su Ziji said, "It's just that the locust plague is added, which is more difficult than I guessed before."

"Now that I have gone to the Yamen, my status has passed Minglu, and many things are being watched by people, so it is difficult to handle. Anyway, there is still more than half a month before the deadline stipulated by the imperial decree to arrive at Shun'an Mansion to take office, so we can't waste it. "

"Things have to be planned for a rainy day."

At the farmland, watching Su Ziji leave under the protection of the armored soldiers, Liu Zhan did not leave, but watched him go away, and then looked at one place.

There, a Taoist boy was walking quickly, and when Su Ziji's ox cart moved, the Taoist boy came up and whispered a few words.

Liu Zhan was stunned for a moment: "The people of King Qi have already made a move?"

Daotong nodded: "Yes, there are demons gathered, but they just brought King Qi's order and official document, real person, do you want to intercept and kill them?"

If it is to intercept and kill, Liu Zhan doesn't need to personally, just spread a message, and the people in the Taoist sect will be moved to intercept it.

Liu Zhan thought for a while, not as straightforward as usual, but hesitated: "Let's take a look first."
