Du He said: "What do you want to do, my lord?"

"Words come out of the mouth, naturally by talking." Fu Su smiled and said directly: "The local people don't know the inside information of the Shaofu, so when the public opinion is raging, some officials of the Shaofu will send some 'Truth', said in the form of unintentional words."

Du He nodded slightly.

Immediately, he frowned and said, "Even if the news gets out, what if the local people don't believe it?"

"Then let them believe it!" Fusu said loudly.

Everyone raised their eyebrows.

Fusu took a deep breath, his eyes were cold, and he said: "I have informed you before that the government doesn't care about the salt and iron matters, and the government is only responsible for investigating the case of the sunken ship. Whatever happens in the local area, it doesn't matter whether it's the Shaofu or the Tingwei's mansion. , you must act as if you don’t know about it, don’t pay attention to it, let alone try to solve it.”

"Let it develop as it pleases."

"This is a matter of strict order to the relevant officials."

"But as I said earlier."

"When the people around these officials and officials inquire about the situation, they can take the opportunity to leak the 'truth' about the Shaofu. The main thing to explain is that I, Fu Sujier, etc. do not understand local affairs, and what I was ordered to deal with was only the sunken ship. The case will not be responsible for solving the matter of salt and iron, and little is known about it."

"But it needs to be explained that Shaofu is capable of solving it."

"As long as we hear about this matter, we may be able to talk about using the treasury of Shaofu to solve the shortage of salt and iron in Guanzhong."

"Before the situation is heard in our ears, you should choose to ignore the things in the city."

"Should turn a deaf ear, should ignore it."

"Meng Yi, your main function at the moment is to mobilize officials to investigate the shipwreck case. In addition, send people to patrol the relevant officials and strictly prohibit them from telling the real truth about the Shaofu. What the outside world knows must be what the government wants them to hear. .”

"Even on special occasions, people can be transferred away from Xianyang."

"This matter must never be lost!"

Fusu had a rare expression of ruthlessness.

Meng Yi's heart trembled.

He took a deep look at Fusu.

It is rare to feel a little strange to the person in front of him.

Du He pondered for a while, and said, "What if the local officials report it?"

"Repress, anyway, I can't present it to you, let alone smell it in my ears." Fusu said coldly: "If you are worried that you won't be able to do it, you can go directly to Huai County after the meeting is arranged. I will send someone to notify you to come back when things are about to progress."

Du He looked slightly different.

Secretly startled by Fusu's determination.

He thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "The imperial court doesn't care about the matter of salt and iron at all?"

Fusu nodded seriously.

"I know your worries." Fu Su said in a deep voice, "But at an extraordinary time, to do extraordinary things, the imperial court is going to be completely ruthless right now, and also to show its indifference and estrangement towards the bottom."

"Only in this way can we win the trust of the people."

aside.

Zhang Cang was thoughtful.

He has roughly understood.

Fusu's various measures are to separate the imperial court from the local government, attribute the lack of salt and iron to the incompetent concealment of the local government, and then let the imperial court come forward to turn the tide.

From the beginning to the end, the imperial court was aloof and looked down on no one.

And for all of this, first of all, the bottom layer must be completely dragged into the water, so that the bottom layer will be reduced to people who are about to drown step by step, and the bottom layer will be completely plunged into despair and panic. When the bottom layer is on the verge of collapse, the court will timely deliver There is a straw, and this straw will undoubtedly become the life-saving straw for the people.

Until then.

Believe it or not.

As long as they don't want to die, they can only hold on tightly.

Then realize the Jedi reversal.

It's just that this strategy is too cold-blooded.

Even Zhang Cang couldn't help being terrified.

He looked at Fusu.

In the end, he shook his head.

He didn't think Fusu could come up with this.

subconsciously.

He thought of that person.

Ji Heng!

Zhang Cang sighed in his heart: "Ji Heng, you are really ruthless, you are not afraid of screwing up because of the schemes of tens of millions of people?"

"If something goes wrong."

"The interior of Daqin may collapse immediately."

"Even with Shi Huang here, there is absolutely no way to recover."

But then.

Zhang Cang's eyes sank.

He recalled the current situation of Daqin, but he had to sigh secretly, maybe Ji Heng's idea was right.

Daqin couldn't hold back.

The shipwreck in Huai County must be resolved as soon as possible.

According to the normal process, the interior of Guanzhong will be in trouble for a short time. If the remnants of the six countries seize the opportunity, even greater chaos may break out in Guanzhong. Ji Heng's move seems ruthless, but it saves time and effort. If it is handled properly, Even before the remnants of the Six Kingdoms reacted, the matter could be resolved directly.

Don't give the remnants of the Six Kingdoms any chance to make trouble.

Think of this.

Zhang Cang's gaze eased slightly.

He also had to admire Ji Heng's courage.

If it were him, firstly, he would never have thought of such an idea, and secondly, he would never dare to take such a risk.

Thinking of this.

He became more and more curious about Ji Heng.

He even wanted to meet him face to face and see who this person really is.

He looked at the confused eyes of Du He and Meng Yi, and took the initiative to explain: "Did the two of you ever drown in the past? The meaning of the eldest son is to make the bottom layer like the drowning person, without support, and the bottom layer to be drowned." When drowning, the straw that 'the Shaofu can solve' is handed out from the shore, so that the people have to grab it for their lives."

"I want the bottom to have nothing to rely on."

"The easiest and quickest way is to ignore."

"The more the government ignores, ignores, and indifferences, the higher the bottom-level expectations of the court will be. When the court really takes action to solve the problem, the bottom-level will be even more grateful."

"This is the young master's way of winning the trust of the people."

"It's not about trustworthiness."

"It's about putting it to death and giving it a way out."

"It's unbelievable!"

"Although this method is not benevolent, it is indeed the best solution at the moment. It is efficient and fast, and it is linked to each other. As long as the implementation does not deviate too much, it will be able to give the outside world a reasonable solution after it wins the trust of the people. Explain, the young master specially asked me to investigate the leaking officials in the Shaofu, as well as the local officials involved in the investigation by Meng Yi Tingwei."

"These can explain the court's ignorance."

"Wait for the case to 'come to light'."

"The public will only be furious and complain about the corrupt officials who cover up and hide them, but they will never complain about the court that made the final move, because the court was deceived by the people below, and once the court knows about it, it will immediately solve the problem, so who can criticize ?”

"This strategy is brilliant, I, Zhang Cang, admire it."

heard.

Du He and Meng Yi also suddenly realized.

Seeing that Zhang Cang had such a deep insight, Fusu couldn't help being startled secretly, and then he was quite happy in his heart.

He was actually under a lot of pressure.

Du He and Meng Yi looked at each other with bitterness on their faces.

They don't see that deeply.

But after Zhang Cang pointed it out, I realized it later, and I was quite shocked.

Such ideas are astonishing.

Mainly from the beginning to the end, the thinking is clear, and the situation of all parties is calculated, and in the end, it can not show any emotion.

It's really clever!

immediately.

Zhang Cang frowned, and said in a concentrated voice: "This idea is good, but in the end we still have to give salt and iron. How can you provide so much salt and iron? If the 'Shaofu' cannot provide so much salt and iron, when the time comes Not only will the resentment of the people not be relieved, but they will redouble their hatred of the imperial court."

"The situation in Guanzhong will only get worse."

Fu Su nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Of course I know about this."

"Salt Iron will have it."

"It will definitely be provided."

Fusu's tone was firm.

Zhang Cang took a deep look at Fusu, and didn't continue to ask further questions.

Fu Su looked at Meng Yi and said: "The current standard of government salt and iron has not been changed for decades, and the standard is too low. Taking advantage of this time to build momentum for the Shaofu, I suggest that the Tingwei Mansion formulate a new standard and raise the standard." The quality of salt and iron provided by the official workshop."

"Then sit down and confirm the wealth and power of the Shaofu."

Meng Yi nodded.

He actually had a suggestion when he came.

It is to reduce the quality of the ironware and table salt manufactured, and then use a small amount of salt and iron to meet the needs of Guanzhong to the greatest extent, and then raise salt and iron for the government to buy enough time. This suggestion will not be spoken again.

And this move is indeed somewhat inappropriate.

Meng Yi said: "No."

Fu Su thought about it in his mind, and continued: "Judging from the actions of the merchants in front, this shipwreck incident is inseparable from these merchants. Now with the intentional pressure, and the merchants who will cut off later, the government will With private contact, merchants will become more and more impatient."

"The suspicion between merchants and officials will become more serious."

"Businessmen don't sit still."

"In the past few days, they will gather together to discuss countermeasures for the reason of asking the court. Ignore the businessman's request for an interview, and continue to suppress the matter. When the situation outside becomes more serious, I will I will arrange to meet with merchants."

"Let the merchants panic for a while now."

"In the past few days, those who investigate people, those who investigate cases, don't pay attention to outside disturbances, let alone intervene in salt and iron matters."

"If someone ruins this plan, don't blame me for Fusu's ruthlessness."

Fusu coldly warned everyone.

The three of them trembled, and said in unison: "Don't worry, young master, there will be no mistakes."

Fusu nodded slightly.

After everything was ordered, Fusu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Meng Yi glanced at Fusu, hesitated to speak, and finally asked out the doubts in his heart.

He asked: "My lord, I have something else I want to ask."

"Ask." Fusu said.

Meng Yi said seriously: "According to what you think, when this matter is over, at least tens of hundreds of officials will be abolished and exempted when this matter is over. It may be difficult to make up for it sometimes, the last time the imperial court rectified, the manpower was already stretched, and if there is another vacancy, there may be no one to fill it."

"Young master, have you ever thought of a solution?"

heard.

Fusu's expression froze.

He hadn't thought about it.

Asked by Meng Yi, he also felt troublesome.

Zhang Cang also frowned.

However, when Meng Yi asked a question, Du He smiled and said, "Lieutenant Meng Ting, you are worrying too much this time."

"Oh? Why?" Meng Yi looked puzzled.

Du He helped Fuxu, smiled and said: "You forgot one thing."

"What's the matter?"

Du He smiled heartily, and said: "I estimated the time, and General Shejian will return to the court in a short time. This time, the rebellion in Qidi was suppressed, and many soldiers will gain military merit. How could it be less?"

"There may still be a few vacancies for officials related to the court, but it is too easy to fill the vacancies of local officials."

"Even more or less."

"There is a shortage of officials, and there is nothing to fear at the moment."

heard.

Meng Yi was stunned for a moment, then his face was stunned, and he smiled wryly: "I forgot about it, thank you Du Shaofu for reminding me."

"I was overthinking it."
