Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 344
When Dou Kuan made such a fuss, the nearby people all surrounded him, and they wanted to see how the imperial envoy appointed by the imperial court planned to make decisions for them, and whether he was the same as those people.

The common people are like this. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will wait patiently. If they are not forced to their last breath, they will not think of rebelling against the court.

"Oh, Brother Yanji, why didn't you tell my younger brother that the imperial envoy is here? Don't you think this is an outsider to my younger brother? If this spreads to the court, His Highness the Crown Prince will not blame my younger brother!"

Liu Yuan, governor of Songzhou, said with a smile on his face, with such a sincere and fearful look, those who didn't know thought Dou Kuan was his own father.

But it's almost enough to say that he is a real father, this guy who is at the same level as himself has transformed into an imperial envoy, opened a mansion and built a government office, lived in eight buildings above the governor's mansion, and controlled the military and political affairs of the entire Henan Province.If I don't curry favor with him, then this governor will be the end.

Liu Yuan, the governor of Songzhou, is the son-in-law of Qian Jiulong, the founding general of the country. He relied on Lao Taishan as the courtier of Emperor Wude, and he was usually arrogant and domineering. Too lazy to look at myself, let alone such a humble attitude.

But today's matter can't be over with just a few good words, and the matter of human life should not be underestimated.So, Dou Kuan pointed to the moldy porridge in the pot and asked: "Liu Cishi, come and tell me what's going on with this porridge. Where did the food issued by the governor's mansion go? It's for you to share with your colleagues." If you eat it, Cui Dudu still detained you."

Dou Kuan's words have the intention of punishing one's heart. Who doesn't know that embezzlement of food relief is a crime of ransacking one's family and destroying one's family. Good guy, this guy has planned to kill people and establish his prestige as soon as he took office. He really has the right not to be invalidated after the expiration date. The rogue governor really deserves his reputation.

The Songzhou officials who followed Liu Yuan to welcome them wiped the sweat from their foreheads while lowering their heads lower, for fear that they would almost make them answer, and then they would be fucked.

"Brother Yanji, this is not a place to talk. Shall we go back to the government office to talk? The officials have prepared food and drinks for you. When we get there, let's talk while drinking. How about it?" Liu Yuan also said. For a person with roots, even if Dou Kuan wins the favor of the prince, he still has to sell him three points. After all, he is also a prince.

Hehehe... How could Dou Kuan not know about this set in the officialdom, but he didn't intend to buy Liu Yuan's face.So, with a serious face, he asked: "I want to ask you, if they were your family members, would you also give them moldy rice?
Did the officials and family members of the Songzhou Prefecture also eat this for lunch today?Not long ago, I personally saw a child die in the arms of his mother because of eating these moldy porridge. What the hell is there to say, where did the food go? "

Seeing Dou Kuan pouting his face in front of so many people, the smile on Liu Yuan's face faded, he bit his cheek and said: "The Inspector Dou, my brother is an official recommended by His Highness King Wu, he and His Highness the Crown Prince But dear brother, if we make trouble and cause some misunderstanding among their imperial brothers, then we are not good ministers."

Originally, Dou Kuan was very angry, but when he heard Liu Yuan say this, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, so he hurried a few steps and grabbed his collar.

He yelled sharply: "Don't do this with me. I grew up eating raw rice. Why don't you just tell me where the food went? If you can't tell, I'll let the imperial envoy The guards cut you down."

What the hell, I really eat raw rice, I can't afford it, I can't bear it, I'm looking for a chance to join you after this test.

So Liu Yuan stated to Dou Kuan the origin of the moldy rice.It turned out that the food distributed by the treasury of Huainan Road was only enough for seven days, and even so, they had to eat thin meals twice a day.

Afterwards, the Zhang family, a big family in Songzhou, came to their door. Their family was a relative of the emperor, and Liu Yuan dared not see him, so he warmly received them.

The old man of the Zhang family proposed to exchange one bucket of good grain for three buckets of moldy grain. In this way, the people can survive until the relief from the court arrives, and the moldy grain of their Zhang family is also freed up. It is the best of both worlds.Of course, there are some things that cannot be told to Dou Kuan, such as the heavy heart that the Zhang family sent to the governor's office.

"So the Zhang family is very powerful in your Songzhou. Does their family have a lot of food?"

While arranging the messy clothes, Liu Yuan replied: "Brother Yanji, the food provided by the court is not enough, and my younger brother has no choice. No, I just made this business with the Zhang family. Hey, my younger brother is also in trouble.

But if we talk about this family, it is the largest wealthy family in this state. The third young lady of their family was named a talented person by the emperor the year before last, and she is very favored. "

Slap, Dou Kuan's slap startled Liu Yuan who was bragging for the Zhang family, but what Dou Kuan said next caused the chill on his body to rise directly from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

"Inspector Liu, I don't know how your account is calculated. Mildewed rice is worthless, even livestock cannot eat it. You are so proud of yourself that you have meritorious service. It is really ridiculous.

However, my official thought is just the occasion for employing people, and I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. You immediately go to Zhang's house to get back the grain that was exchanged for them, and fight for [-] shi of grain on the spot.Otherwise, I will take all of you down, ransack your homes and exterminate you on charges of embezzling state funds and reselling relief food. "

Dou Kuan has been a magistrate for so many years, of course he knows why Liu Yuan is willing to exchange good food for those moldy things, but now is not the time to pursue this, the key is to find a good meal for the common people.Wait until the matter is over, and then hand this dog thing over to the Ministry of Integrity, and let him go to prison to settle accounts.

Before Liu Yuanlai could respond immediately, Dou Kuan continued: "From now on, collect all the idle houses of the wealthy households in the city, and let the people affected by the disaster live in them to escape the wind and rain.

In addition, from now on, the porridge factory will be reopened. The porridge must be inserted with chopsticks so that it does not leak, and the rice balls must be eaten with your hands. Make tooth offerings to the people. "

Ah, this is the first time they have heard of this method of disaster relief. So, wouldn't all the big households be offended by doing this, so how can we mess around in Songzhou from now on?

"Inspector Dou Yin, brother Yanji, let's not talk about whether the Zhang family can be offended by low officials, but just say that the houses you want to collect have not had this rule over the years. This is too inappropriate."

With squinting eyes and a disdainful expression, Dou Kuan patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder: "There is nothing against the rules, this is what I did in Huazhou.

And the Zhang family is nothing special, if I dare not pay the food, I will let the soldiers of the Zhechong mansion search the house and let them weigh it. " After finishing speaking, he turned around and left with his entourage with a flick of his sleeves.
