Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 165 Setting the tone! (seeking subscription)
After reading the bamboo slips, both Du He and Zhang Cang were amazed.

Zhang Cang said: "Mr. Zhong is indeed a capable person. He clearly only asked five people, but he found out all the whereabouts of all the salt and iron. The art of attacking the heart is really perfect."

Du He smiled and said, "Now the whereabouts of the salt and iron are known, and the crisis in Guanzhong has been resolved."

"What do you want, son?"

Fusu smiled, took the bamboo slips back, and said, "I don't have much thought about this, so I would like to ask you two for some suggestions."

"I wonder if you two have any specific suggestions for calming the anger of the people in Guanzhong?"

A word fell.

Zhang Cang became interested immediately.

Du He's eyes were blurred, as if he didn't hear this.

Fusu looked at the two people in front of him with very different expressions, his expression didn't change much, he was still very calm.

He actually had a plan in mind.

At this time.

Du He cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, please explain the situation first."

"After all, we don't know much about the overall situation, and we still need the young master to point us in the right direction."

Fu Su took a deep look at Du He, without much hesitation, and said directly: "In my opinion, the government should take action in the future to raise standards and alleviate public anger."

Zhang Cang followed up and said, "Now the local people are agitated, and the young master should come forward to solve it."

"At least explain the matter."

"also."

But without waiting for Zhang Cang to continue, Du He spoke directly and interrupted Zhang Cang's words. Du He helped his beard, looked at Zhang Cang indifferently, and said with a chuckle, "Zhang Yushi is a little too impatient. I don't think what Zhang Yushi said is correct."

Zhang Cang frowned.

Du He closed his eyes slightly, and there was a ray of light in his eyes, and said calmly: "I think it should be resolved in the name of His Majesty."

"And the first thing to do is not to do things."

"It's setting the tone!"

"Just like Mr. Zhong said."

"There is no rule without rules, and it is easy to handle things when there are rules."

"After all, this matter involves several government offices, so it cannot be handled hastily. Once there is a problem with the connection, it will easily cause other reactions, which may backfire. Therefore, it is imperative to set the tone for each government office in advance. .”

heard.

Zhang Cang's heart moved slightly.

He took a deep look at Du He, and a shadow flashed across his plump cheeks.

He cursed secretly in his heart.

Du He clearly had an idea in his heart, but he just kept silent and interrupted when he opened his mouth. You can't offend yourself, but you can only offend yourself.

It's just that I was a little bit unhappy to be cheated like this.

Regarding Zhang Cang's black face, Du He didn't take it seriously at all, he continued: "This matter involves the whole Guanzhong, the prestige of the eldest son is not enough, so we need to borrow the prestige of His Majesty, only in this way can the officials and the people be convinced , can also get twice the result with half the effort.”

Fusu slightly nodded his forehead, expressing his approval.

Du He continued: "The specific operation is different for each government office, so we can't generalize it."

"So set the tone in advance."

"Before the government takes action, the tone in Guanzhong should be mixed."

"Various sounds came out."

"And when the discordant voices in the local area are the strongest, the imperial court can release their voices to calm down the emotions of the local government. It can be handled, and finally determined, to be precise, it is hoped that the government will handle it.”

"So before the government officially takes action."

"Slow down!"

"Only by slowing down can the effect be achieved."

"When the people's expectations of the government reach the highest level, you can officially come forward, young master. However, in the early stage, you only claimed to solve the problem, but don't rush to take action, but grind down the temperament of the bottom. Make a move with thunder."

"And the keynote at this time is 'fast'!"

"Cut the mess with a sharp knife."

"With the power of thunder, wipe out the ugly people quickly."

"At this time, the Yushi Mansion must punish corrupt officials as quickly as possible, and the Tingwei Mansion must issue an order at the same time, announcing that the sales standards of salt and iron will be raised. In addition, it will start to severely crack down on the relevant merchants. The purpose is to refresh the public’s eyes and see the swiftness of the imperial court’s methods.”

"Further deepening the public's trust in the government."

"at the same time."

"My lord, you should announce the recruitment of salt workers and blacksmiths in the Guanzhong area."

"Officially announce the intervention."

"When the local people are excited about the previous things, the government should stop taking any further actions. When the people's excitement is over, they start to worry about the salt and iron issue again. The young master stepped forward again, and the government provided a large amount of salt and iron to the local area before the spring plowing, and then sat down completely. Realize the government's ability."

"This is the only way to achieve the best layout effect this time."

"Save the hearts of the people in one fell swoop."

Done.

Du He bowed to Fusu.

Zhang Cang didn't say anything, his face was still dark.

Du He's thinking is so clear, I'm afraid he has already thought about it in secret, but he has been silent all the time, he is really cunning and cunning.

Fusu nodded.

He also agrees with Duch's ideas.

Combine fast and slow.

When the government is not doing things, everything should be slowed down, and when the government is actually doing things, everything is handled at extreme speed, which will give people a strong contrast, and then deepen the world's trust in the court, and at the same time establish the prestige of the court.

Either the imperial court does not take action, and once it does, it must have immediate results.

One slow one fast, one slow one fast.

Always play with the public's emotions between applause.

Then achieve the goal.

Fusu took a deep look at Du He, and had a deeper understanding of what Ji Heng said.

Ji Heng mentioned it when he left.

The officials of Daqin are not all mediocre.

Even the opposite.

They are capable, even cunning.

It's just that these people know how to be an official, and under normal circumstances, they will never show off, and they will never rush to express their opinions. Only when the matter is relatively clear, or the situation is settled, these people will stand up and speak righteously published a high opinion.

Do things beautifully.

It was done perfectly.

Now in Du He's body, it is obviously fulfilled.

Before getting the bamboo slips where the salt and iron have fallen, Du He looked like he was wandering, and although he would mention a few words from time to time, most of the time he was in a daze, but every time he spoke, he could get to the point. That's it, never get too involved.

There are many such officials in the court.

In this regard.

Fusu also felt a little headache.

But he didn't think too much about it, he just said: "According to Du Shaofu's opinion, what tone should be set by the Tingwei Mansion, Shaofu Mansion, and Yushi Mansion?"

Du He smiled, helped Fuxu, and said: "The Foreign Minister's Mansion should be hidden, the Tingwei's Mansion should be punished, and the Yushi Mansion should be strictly controlled."

"Inside, make arrangements in advance."

"Wait until things progress, and execute step by step."

"The Shaofu is still fine."

"Just coordinate matters related to salt and iron."

"Not too many people will come forward, and they will basically not speak out."

"Because Tingwei's Mansion has to be 'punished', it can't be 'quick'. When it takes a long time, the officials of Tingwei's Mansion will be punished. As for Yushi's Mansion, it is only necessary to bring relevant criminals to justice. When we arrive at Tingwei's Mansion, we have to take it easy."

"Young master needs to understand."

"The imperial court is different from the imperial court internally."

"External needs to be fast."

"Internally, there are many situations to be considered."

"The previous 'slowness' is for the outside world, to show people, and even without too much evidence, everything is mainly to quell public anger, while the latter's request for the three governments is for the inside, and it is for officials, so it should be treated with caution. Be careful, everything should be based on evidence to convict, there is no evidence to stand, let alone convict rashly."

heard.

Fusu's heart moved slightly.

He looked at Du He deeply.

I have some understanding.

He cupped his hands and said: "Thank you Du Shaofu for reminding, Fusu has been taught."

Du He nodded and said: "My lord, don't blame me for talking too much. I'm getting old and I'm going to retire soon. My lord has made great progress now. This is the blessing of Great Qin and the world. It is easy to break, and haste makes waste. For the affairs of the court, the young master should think twice, and don't miss the measure because of impatience."

"It might backfire by then."

Done.

Du He bowed to Fusu.

Fu Su hurriedly said: "Fu Su will remember it in his heart."

Du He nodded slightly, and said: "Young master has made up his mind now, so I will retire first. However, this year's affairs are already high. In order to avoid things going wrong, I can only choose to do it in advance."

Done.

Du He bowed again and left straight away.

From start to finish.

Du He never even looked at Zhang Cang, as if Zhang Cang didn't catch his eye at all.

The corners of Zhang Cang's mouth twitched slightly for Du He's disregard.

He thought he had never offended Du He, so why did Du He come against him?

Could it be because he was too ruthless in investigating the case?

Just when Zhang Cang was suspicious, Fusu took out another bamboo slip.

Zhang Cang quickly withdrew his mind, took the bamboo slip into his hand, then slowly spread it out, and read it seriously.

read it.

A look of joy appeared in Zhang Cang's eyes.

On the bamboo slips is a list of officials from major government offices that have been linked with salt and iron merchants.

There are hundreds of people.

"My lord, this." Zhang Cang asked curiously.

Fu Su said: "Mr. Zhong asked merchants to recruit them."

heard.

Zhang Cang also felt emotional, and said: "Mr. Zhong's methods are really astonishing. Not only did he find out the whereabouts of the salt and iron, but he also forced the merchants to recruit these officials. Now that the government has these two bamboo slips, many things are much easier to handle." .”

Fusu nodded slightly.

He also said: "Yes, Mr. Zhong's talent is really amazing."

"The salt and iron incident this time took place in less than ten days, but it has actually been resolved now, and it is only waiting for the public anger to be finally quelled."

Zhang Cang pondered for a while, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's more than that."

"This time the government almost took all the salt and iron, and there is too much money and grain to be harvested."

"When the major salt merchants and iron merchants are investigated later, the government will be able to confiscate a large amount of money. This time, the government can be said to have made a lot of profits, which is comparable to the commercial tax in the past six months."

heard.

Fusu's heart skipped a beat.

He actually didn't think so deeply.

After being reminded by Zhang Cang, he woke up suddenly.

The court got money again!

Under Ji Heng's management, in just a few months, the imperial court has already made a lot of money, which is an astonishing amount even if you look at the world.

And the victims from beginning to end are merchants.

　Today, because I got up late, and because I moved down for the last time, I was delayed for a while, and the official [-]D update will start tomorrow, rushing.
