Chapter 600 Trading
Frankly speaking, Xu Shao treated Lin Chao well.

According to the current mainstream of the Qing Dynasty, the ranking is generally headed by the word Jun, because there were three titles in the past.

The king is the ancestor of the whole life!

Followed by Ba Jun, Ba Gu, Ba Ji, and Ba Chu.

A handsome man is a good speaker.

The person who cares is the person who can lead people with virtue.

And those who say it can guide people to follow the clan.

A cook is one who can save people with wealth.

Further down are the rankings in some family areas, such as Sima Bada, Xunshi Eight Dragons, Xunshi Sanruo, Wolongfengchu, etc., which are generally popular in a small area.

In the big environment, if you want to be known to the world, you must have the above [-]-level titles.

But this time, Xu Shao made an exception and gave Lin Chao the title of No Widows. Instead, he added the word "World" in front of it. He has already surpassed the three monarchs in the ranking and became the only existence in the rank.

Although this does not necessarily affect Lin Changshi's killing him, it also shows that he has a high opinion of Lin Chao.

In addition, Xu Shao told Cai Yong that this time he will introduce the old and bring forth the new, not only ranking the famous people in the world, but also ranking the generals in the world.

In fact, the emergence of the Qing Dynasty was essentially to deal with the two scourges of party imprisonment.The gentry despised eunuchs for controlling the government, so they took out the title of Qingyi to increase their gold content.

But times have changed, and the world is in chaos now, and generals are far more useful than civil servants.

Xu Shao was not a pedantic person, so he wanted to rank these generals who fought in the battlefield according to their record.

After listening to Xu Shao's explanation, Cai Yong nodded, expressing that it was reasonable.

……

In the north courtyard of Tan County.

After Xun Yu got Lin Chao's approval, he started a new round of contact with those world's aristocratic families.

Although Lin Chao agreed, Xun Yu would not directly offer the base price, but instead negotiated several rounds of bargaining with this group of aristocratic families.

Xun Yu knew very well that when winter came, more than half of the poor people displaced by the war would die of cold and starvation, and some of them would become refugees and flee everywhere.

When a winter snow falls, the casualties caused will not be smaller than those of war.

Being able to get more money and food from the aristocratic family will help appease the people of the three states and reduce casualties.

So early this morning, Xun Yu, who was supposed to take a rest, did not rest, but took his younger brother Xun Chen all the way to the north of the city.

The weather in early October was already a bit cold. Xun Yu's health was not very good recently, so he wrapped himself up thickly, and put on a big cloak on the outside. After walking for half an hour, he felt a little warmer.

Xun Chen followed behind, but he lost his usual bright eyes, and instead frowned, with an expression of worry mixed with anger.

"Brother, Zichu, he really wants to give those people two positions as ministers?"

Xun Yu nodded, with a hint of sadness in his eyes: "That's right."

"But if those people take control of Xuzhou, the New Deal we have worked hard for for several years may be ruined." Xun Chen said coldly, "I don't believe it, 1 he Lin Zichu will helplessly watch the fruits of his hard work come to naught. "

The aristocratic family members are naturally capable, but their buttocks are not straight.

The Xuzhou New Deal has always been adhering to the basic strategy of hiding wealth from the people.

But once these people are in power, although they will also manage state affairs, they will definitely not take the livelihood of the people seriously. Instead, they will whitewash the peace and eventually lead to more serious land annexation.

Xun Yu sighed, "Zi Chu naturally didn't want to do this, but he had to."

"What do you mean, brother?"

Xun Chen was puzzled.

Xun Yu didn't answer, but looked down instead.

Following his brother's gaze, Xun Chen only saw a weed on the ground, but it was covered with a layer of frost.

"do you understand?"

There was a sudden look in Xun Chen's eyes, he nodded and said, "Understood."

It is now the beginning of October, and there will be at most another month when the first snow falls.At that time, the severe cold will attack every creature in this world, and how can those displaced people survive.

In terms of time, it was almost too late.

So even if Lin Chao didn't want to, he still had to agree to the terms of these people so that he could get money and food to help the people.

When Xun Yu looked away from the weeds, his eyes were full of determination, and he said, "Let's go, we have been negotiating for a while, and today we must come to a result."

"understood."

Xun Chen nodded heavily, and followed Xun Yu into the other courtyard.

The arrival of the two of them naturally received a warm welcome from all the aristocratic families.

After the Xun brothers greeted everyone, they were invited into the hall by Sima Lang.

There are much fewer people here, only Wang Yun and Sima Fang and a few others, and even Yang Qi is not eligible to enter.

In the negotiation of the final price, the people below are naturally not qualified to participate in the decision-making.

When Wang Yun saw Xun Yu coming in, a smile appeared on his face, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "You two nephews, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still have the same demeanor!"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Wang Yun didn't call out the official positions of the two, but put himself in the position of an elder while getting closer.

When everyone is in the same class, the benefits of being older are now incisively and vividly displayed.

Even Xun Yu had no choice but to cup his hands and said with a smile, "I've seen the prince!"

"You two nephews, please sit down, come and serve tea."

Wang Yun stroked his beard and smiled.

After the tea was served, the two sides chatted for a while, and only then did they get to the point.

The entire negotiation process is extremely simple. If you really want to talk about it, it is actually no different from bargaining in the vegetable market, but the words are relatively elegant, and you can't avoid citing classics to make your demands seem reasonable.

But to put it bluntly, this is essentially a sale.

After an hour of bargaining, the aristocratic family represented by Wang Yun got their coveted official position as they wished.And Xun Yu also raised the price by [-]% for a time, and the money and grain he got was finally barely enough to help the people.

Wang Yun and Sima Fang entered the government and served as ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry respectively.

In addition, a large number of children from aristocratic families entered the government and served as servants and officials under the five ministries.

Today's ministers and ministers are only official positions of rank [-] and rank [-]. Although the power is great, in terms of etiquette, the children of these aristocratic families are fully qualified to take up the position.

Seeing that the business was concluded, Wang Yun was naturally happy, so he wanted to host a banquet for the Liu Xun brothers, but Xun Yu refused because the state government still had government affairs.

After sending the two brothers out of the house, Wang Ling and Sima Lang saw the two old men in the hall smiling.

It's just that Wang Ling was still a little reluctant, so he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, Lin Zichu's asking price is too high, it's a full 200 ​​million shi, grain and grass, and I'm not afraid to support him to death!"

Hearing this, Wang Yun frowned immediately, looking at his nephew with a look of disappointment.

But Sima Lang smiled and said: "Brother Wang's words are wrong. In my opinion, two million shi, grain and grass can be exchanged for so many official positions, but we have taken advantage of it."

"Brother Sima, how do you explain what he said?"

"If it wasn't for the lack of time, he, Lin Zichu, would definitely not be so generous."

Wang Ling was puzzled and asked, "Why is it too late?"

Sima Lang raised his hand and pointed to the door, and said with deep meaning: "It's going to snow soon. Lin Zichu is really a great man, but his only weakness is that he cares too much for those common people in the head of Guizhou. He doesn't want those common people to suffer from cold and hunger." If you want to die, you have to conclude this deal with us as soon as possible. The sooner it is completed, the sooner you will get food and grass to help those leaders."

Hearing this, Wang Ling suddenly realized.

But when Wang Yun saw that Sima Fang's eldest son was better than his nephew, he snorted coldly and reprimanded him: "With official positions and powers, you can make great achievements, and you can bless your children and grandchildren. How much money and food will you have at that time? If you are so short-sighted, how can you accomplish great things?" ?”

Wang Ling cupped his hands in shame and said, "Uncle, my nephew knows it's wrong."

"Punish you to copy the "Shangshu" once, as a warning to others."

"only."

……

After Xun Yu was given the official position, all the aristocratic families were unambiguous, and after three days they delivered the money and food, and took office happily.

Looking at the mountains of money and food in the treasury, Tian Feng, who has always been worried about money and food, wanted to jump in and roll.After laughing up to the sky, Tian Feng felt so refreshed that he ate two extra bowls of rice that night.

Of course, he would be in a better mood if Chen Qun, the left servant of the household who was forcefully forced in by the aristocratic family, was not around him.

But Tian Feng's happy mood only lasted until the next day.

With money and food in the government treasury, Xun Yu called all the people in the inner government and held a meeting on how to appease the people.

In the government affairs hall, Xun Yu sat on the high seat, looking at the new faces below, suddenly felt uncomfortable, but he was quickly suppressed by him.

The meeting decided that Tian Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, would be in charge, and the military government should send three groups of soldiers and horses to escort the food and grass to various places, and then the officials of the inner government and the prefects of the counties would work together to relieve the disaster and rescue the people.

This was already expected by everyone, and naturally no one would have any objections.

It's just that at the end of the meeting, Cui Yan, as the supervisory censor, showed a little bit of his majesty.

In order to prevent people from being greedy for money and food, he required that every army transporting food should be accompanied by a person from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise it.Even after that, every link of disaster relief and people's rescue, no matter how big or small, was supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and at the same time, it would also inquire about the data, and finally recorded it and sealed it up, so that Liu Bei can consult it when he returns.

At this moment, Wang Yun suddenly began to regret that he didn't put people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Who knew that Cui Yan had such great power!

Regarding Cui Yan's request, Xun Yu felt that it was reasonable, but he did not have the right to approve or reject it, so he could only report the disaster relief matters to Lin Chao after the meeting was over.

After receiving Lin Chao's affirmative approval, the new institution of the Inner Palace exerted its terrifying executive power.

After all, human life is at stake, so Xun Yu decided to start the food delivery team two days later.

After discussing with everyone in the Military Aircraft Mansion, it was decided to send [-] troops to escort food and grass in three routes, with Zhang Liao as the commander, and Lu Qian and Xu Huang respectively in command.

At the same time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not idle.

Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate was short of manpower at this time, Cui Yan decided to personally monitor one route, and Cui Jun, the censor of the left capital, and Zang Hong, the newly appointed censor of the right capital, supervised the other two routes respectively.

So far, the action of helping the common people has begun.

It is worth mentioning that most of the officials sent out by the Inner Palace this time were newly appointed officials from aristocratic families. Except for Wang Yun and Sima Fang who were ministers who did not move, almost all others were sent out.

However, on the second day after the departure of the food transport army, under the instruction of Lin Chao, Xin Pi and Pang De quietly left Tan County with a thousand troops from the Jishi Mansion and the School Affairs Mansion.

These two soldiers temporarily drawn from the Jishi Mansion and the School Affairs Mansion were organized and trained by Lin Chao as a new army, named: Jinyiwei!

In the past, when Lin Chao established the school office, he carefully considered it, and finally only retained its external function.

Now that the territory is bigger and the hearts of the people are mixed, the internal spy agency will naturally emerge as the times require.

And Simpi is the first commander of Jinyiwei, with a rank of six hundred stones.

Before leaving, Lin Chao gave Simpi some psychological training.

"George, a certain department knows that Jinyiwei is an offending department, but it still wants to wrong you for the time being."

Simpi shook his head and said with a smile: "Why did Chang Shi say that, I don't feel wronged at all."

This is the truth.

Simpi, who was the surrender of the internal affairs, although he has made meritorious service, he also has a bad reputation after all.

Now being used so much by Lin Chao, there will always be a day when he will survive.

Lin Chao said with a smile: "Jorge, if you accomplish this, someone will recommend you to the government as a servant in the future."

"Thank you, Chang Shi, for your love, I have gone to a lowly position."

Simpi cupped his hands, turned around and rode away.
