Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 795
There was a lot of discussion in the lobby. Originally, they came to ask for help, but now they turned into discussing how to calm the food shortage crisis in various places.

Xie Qiupeng walked to Xie Fu's side and said with a humble smile, "Fu, is it convenient to have a private chat with Uncle Qiupeng?"

Although he is an elder, he dare not call himself an elder at this moment.

The two moved to an elegant room and sat down.

Xie Fu asked: "Uncle Qiupeng, what did you do this time, but you also colluded with the government to forcefully buy people's rations at a low price."

Xie Qiupeng quickly waved his hands: "No, no, absolutely not."

As he said, he handed over his hands to the sages: "The ancestor Yaoqing had a clear instruction, how could I do such an outrageous thing."

Xie Fu asked: "Then this time, Jiangnan Dongdao Grain General Merchant, Qiu Peng you?"

Xie Qiupeng said: "Yes, Zhu Shide asked me to buy grain by all means, but my place is far away, Zhu Shide can't see it, so I spent more money to buy some grain from other places, and then told Zhu Shide that my place is poor , That’s all, try your best, and get through.”

Xie Fu was deeply comforted when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Then what is Uncle Qiupeng worried about?"

Xie Qiupeng said: "Not this time." He lowered his voice and said, "It can be said that I did some shady things before, Fu, you have never done business, I don't know if you understand it, and you don't want to make good friends with the government. If you communicate with the government and cooperate with the government, you will not be able to get along at all."

Xie Fu chuckled: "I understand. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. I don't know what to do."

Xie Qiupeng looked at Xie Fu in astonishment, with the feeling that I didn't know you were so sophisticated and so clear before, "Fu, I haven't seen you for a few years, you really make Uncle Qiupeng want to see you!"

Xie Fu said with emotion: "The youth was naughty and made grandpa worry and worry, and finally made a big mistake and was expelled from the clan. Since then, I have regretted myself every day, and be cautious in my words and deeds."

Xie Fu's expulsion from his clan was Xie Guangde's decision. After all, Xie Guangde is the head of the Xie family, and Xie Qiupeng can't say that Xie Guangde did not do well.

He said: "If you know your mistakes, correct them. There is nothing good about it. Fu, don't worry, I will tell your grandfather about this matter, let him hold a grand ceremony, and let you return to the Xie family."

Xie Qiupeng is also quite important in the Xie family. With him taking the lead, it seems that the chances are great.

Xie Fu was delighted: "Uncle, my nephew is here to thank you first."

Xie Qiupeng laughed and said: "What are you talking about, you are a hero of my Xie family, how can you be left outside."

I thought to myself, you are a treasure now, and all the people in the clan will rely on your name to prosper, so how could they abandon you.

No matter how stubborn Xie Guangde is, his arms cannot hold back his thighs.

After showing favor, Xie Qiupeng asked: "I heard that Master Lu plans to strip everyone's bottoms this time. Do you see the shady things Uncle has done before?"

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Don't worry, uncle, if there is really any accountability at that time, my nephew will definitely protect you."

He thought to himself, what kind of thing is this? It seems that Master Lu has made people panic this time, and everyone has become a frightened bird.

Xie Qiupeng said happily: "Fu, I feel relieved with your words."

As he spoke, he gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with emotion: "I'm afraid that my family of 63 will be implicated."

……

A group of grain merchants took the initiative to go to the state capital to confess their crimes to Lu Tao, and reported that local officials were corrupt and broke the law.

These grain merchants themselves are the witnesses, and the ledgers in their hands are the physical evidence, and the witnesses and physical evidence are all there!
Their voluntary confession and reporting are much more effective than ordinary people's oral complaints, which also saves Lu Tao a lot of effort.

Lu Tao also fulfilled his promise to Xie Fu. According to the law, all the grain merchants will be regarded as surrenders, and they will not be detained for the time being.

After receiving Lu Tao's verbal promise, all the Jiangnan grain merchants were excited and told themselves in their hearts that this time they must use all their nursing strength to compete for more credit and reduce more charges.

As the three observers Zhang Yuzhi, Lu Jing, and Gu Xin started the campaign to purge the officialdom in Jiangnan Dongdao, other observers had to follow suit in accordance with the law, and a large number of officials were detained, convicted and imprisoned.

Jiangnan Dongdao is not limited to the forces of Gu Luzhu, Zhang Wuzhong, and other forces, just as they are still carefully considering, thinking about countermeasures, and choosing the right time.

Lu, Gu, and Zhang's three clans had already used the torrent-like impact of soldiers and lightning-like speed to beat their opponents in one fell swoop. The ability to fight back and the ability to think were lost. As soon as the previous problem appeared, the next problem followed one after another. Gu Overwhelmed.

These forces were a few beats slower everywhere, and their decline was evident, and it seemed powerless to counterattack.

In the end, he had no choice but to choose to keep the general and abandon the soldiers.

Compared with the Zhu Clan, they just lost their hands and arms, and they realized it later. This is a power struggle between the Lu, Gu, and Zhang Clans against the Zhu Clan.

Although he was surprised why the four clans of Wuzhong who belonged to the same family would turn against each other, they rationally chose to stay still and did not want to get involved in the fight.

The strange thing is that the Zhu Clan has not taken any action, perhaps because they are powerless to resist. No family can fight against three families joining forces.

At the same time, Jiangnan grain merchants headed by Gu Xianting actively opened warehouses to save the market and stabilize grain prices.

Food prices have fallen, and commodity prices have also fallen, and people's livelihood has tended to be stable.

The common people ate some, but when officials were arrested, they used it as talk after dinner.

In this opening of warehouses to save the market, Xie Fu actually made a fortune, gaining both fame and profit.

As Ye Jieyi predicted at the beginning, at the beginning of the competition for buying, foreign grain merchants learned that the price of grain in Jiangnan East Road had soared, and they transported grain to Jiangnan East Road to sell it, intending to make a fortune.

It happened that grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River opened warehouses to rescue the market, and the market was full of grain, and the grain in the hands of these foreign grain merchants could not be sold at all.

Coupled with the continuous autumn rain in the past few days, this has made the out-of-town grain merchants who do not have a granary to store grain in the local area very worried.

Ye Jieyi took the initiative to send someone to contact her to express her intention to buy.

In the end, this batch of grain from other places flowed into Xie Fu's hands at a price far below the market price, and these grain merchants from other places could not lose a lot of money by stealing chickens. Although they suffered a big loss, they also recovered some losses.

After the turmoil, it seems to be stable, but the dust is floating, because a large number of officials in various places have been convicted and imprisoned, and a large number of job vacancies have been vacant.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a state cannot be without a head for a day.

Lu Tao plans to go to Chang'an with three of the observers to explain to the emperor the earthquake in the officialdom of Jiangnan Dongdao, and more importantly, the transfer of new officials will be another battle.

Every one of the vacancies that Zhu faction forces have cleared up wants to take for themselves.

For this reason, Lu Tao specially came to Xie Fu's mansion to say hello.

Xie Fu was not surprised that Lu Tao was going to the Chang'an face-sacrifice. Today, if he opened his eyes and closed his eyes, he let these elites fight among themselves, and there was such a commotion, Lu Tao should give an explanation no matter what.

After Lu Tao explained his movements, he said with a smile: "It's a pity that you don't even have wings, Shaodian. Otherwise, this time is a good opportunity for you to deploy your own people and expand your own power. Maybe I acted too hard and too fast."

Xie Fu replied: "Naturally, this kind of thing needs to be cut quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Lu Tao nodded, and basically achieved what he wanted. He wiped out Zhu Clan's power in Jiangnan Dongdao in one fell swoop, which greatly hurt Zhu Clan's vitality. The power of the lords will fall and the monkeys will disperse."

Speaking of this, Lu Tao was not the slightest bit excited, but a little sad, after all...

Xie Fu asked softly: "My lord, is that all?"

Whether Xie Fu meant to be forgiving and forgiving, let Zhu Clan muddle along.

But Lu Tao said: "The wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows again. To deal with the enemy, we must cut the grass and root out the roots. This time, I wanted to drag Suzhou Zhu's family into the water and clean them up together, but Zhu Donglai was too calm and left himself alone." Not only did Xu Fulai cooperate with this observation, but I couldn't catch the slightest clue."

As he said that, he snorted coldly: "For him to be wise!"

Xie Fu smiled and said, "I have only now seen your lord's cruelty and thunderous artifice."

Lu Tao looked at Xie Fu with a smile: "There are no permanent friends, and there are no permanent enemies. Today you and I are friends, and when we part ways, we are enemies."

Xie Fu said with a smile; "I hope there will be no day when I become an enemy of adults."

"Going to Chang'an Miansheng is urgent. Zhu Donglai will deal with it when I come back. I have already said hello to Zhongji and Shudu. They will keep an eye on Zhu Donglai."

While talking, a melodious "Fu Di" came.

The charming Ye Jieyi walked out of the lobby with a spring breeze on her face, and suddenly saw Lu Tao present, and gave a slight bow: "Master Lu is here."

Lu Tao didn't know Ye Jieyi, so he asked Xie Fu, "Young man, who is this?"

Xie Fu stood up and said, "Lord Lu, let me introduce you. This is Ye Jieyi, daughter of Master Ye Meixun's family."

Lu Tao laughed and said, "I never thought Master Ye would have such a beautiful and beautiful daughter." Then he smiled at Xie Fu, "Young man, you already have Miss Tantai, so don't be too flirtatious, otherwise Miss Tantai will marry you." Be jealous."

In Lu Tao's view, with such an intimate address, he naturally regarded Ye Jieyi as Xie Fu's confidante.

When Lu Tao said this, both Xie Fu and Ye Jieyi were very embarrassed. Xie Fu said: "My lord, sister Jieyi is married, and her husband's family is Li Xiaosa, the eldest son of the Li family in Zhao County."

Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xie Fu in astonishment, what a boy, you even play with famous ladies and gentlemen, you are so daring.

Seeing Lu Tao's eyes, Xie Fu had to explain clearly, "Li Xiaosa is my best friend, and sister Jieyi is also my righteous sister Jinlan."

Lu Tao was surprised: "Oh, there is such a relationship, Lu is actually Meng Lang."

Then he apologized to Ye Jieyi: "Mrs. Li, I'm sorry."

After all, Ye Jieyi is also the wife of a famous family. In front of Lu Tao, she is only inferior in seniority but not low in status. She said with a smile: "Your Majesty Lu, you are welcome. Those who don't know are innocent."

Lu Tao chuckled: "Alright, let's chat with your siblings, I have to leave beforehand."

After sending Lu Tao away, Xie Fu asked, "Sister Yuyi, why are you so happy?"

Ye Jieyi smiled proudly: "Brother Fu, do you know how much money my sister earned you this time?"

Xie Fu had no concept of money, and asked, "Oh, how much money did you earn?"
