wealthy lord

Chapter 268 Ma Ji is about to be promoted

Seeing Lin Yun's unquestionable expression, Ma Ji could only nod in agreement.

"I'll do my best, sir!"

"Huh, try your best? You should say try your best!"

"That's right! I must try my best!"

Ma Ji has begun to sweat.

Lin Yun saw this in his eyes and said: "Although Lin Jinbiao promised to join him, I really don't trust him. Therefore, I plan to find Cui Mingchong and let him work in the court to promote you to succeed Tian Jingyu and become the governor of Haocheng. Are you willing?"

Ma Ji was ecstatic in his heart, and he knelt on the ground with a bang and said: "I am willing!! I am willing to do it a hundred times!"

On the side, Wang Chuanzhong and Sun Xuemeng were stunned.

They both knew that Lin Yun was powerful, but they still didn't expect that Lin Yun was so bold that he dared to arrange it like this, and he also planned to bribe the court officials.

Cui Mingchong was a second-grade high-ranking official and was a member of the imperial court. He was a popular figure around the emperor, otherwise he would not have become an imperial envoy.

But looking at it from another perspective, Lin Yun's backer is indeed big enough.

At least it works well in Fengyang County.

If everything goes as Lin Yun said, it would be more than enough to arrange for a fifth-rank official like Ma Ji.

Lin Yun also had his own plans for making this arrangement.

First of all, as he said, he is worried about Lin Jinbiao.

With Ma Ji as his confidant keeping an eye on him, he can feel completely at ease.

Secondly, he had promised to promote Ma Ji, especially Ma Ji's performance last night, which made Lin Yun very satisfied.

It’s also reached the point where things are ripe and ripe.

The most important thing is to win people's hearts.

Lin Yunneng said this in front of Wang Chuanzhong and Sun Xuemeng, just to tell the forces behind them that there was a future for them to follow him.

He could make Zheng Li, a former robber and gangster, become the captain of the Yucheng Prefecture, and he could make Ma Ji the governor of Haocheng Prefecture.

This is ability.

And if Ma Ji can really be promoted, it will be a big promotion.

Jumping directly from the fifth grade to the fourth grade, Ma Ji would probably wake up from his dream with a smile.

Lin Yun helped him up with a smile and said, "Is there still any difficulty now?"

Ma Ji shook his head like a rattle and said with a smile on his face: "No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely do it well!"

Lin Yun nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Wang Chuanzhong and said, "Manager Wang, you are now in charge of the Fengdu Camp. How much food do you have in your hands?"

Wang Chuanzhong hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "I dare not hide it, I have 50,000 jins of wheat and 30,000 jins of rice. These are only the grains allocated by the imperial court and the vassal prince Lin family every month, specifically to support the 20,000 garrison!"

Lin Yun nodded, knowing full well that these 20,000 people were specifically monitoring the Lin family of the feudal lord.

But the Lin family still had to provide food for them.

Eighty thousand catties of grain a month is considered a fortune.

However, he was still a little surprised that the soldiers in the Fengdu Camp were really expensive.

But he also understood that these grains would inevitably be deducted by Qiu Guangri.

I will have to bleed this old guy next, but I have to think of a countermeasure. Lin Yun pondered for a moment and said: "Well, I won't embarrass you. From now on, I will provide half of the food to Haocheng every month until the disaster is over! Of course, I will not take advantage of you. I will wait until later, when Manager Ma takes office. How about asking him to repay it month by month?"

Having learned from the past, Wang Chuanzhong naturally did not dare to refuse, but he also did not dare to agree immediately. It was true that he chose to join Lin Yun, but on the surface he still had to obey Qiu Guangri's orders.

Wang Chuanzhong suddenly showed a bitter look on his face and said: "Master Lin, it stands to reason that the official should agree immediately, but although these grains are now under the control of the official, the actual controller is Mr. Fu Yin. Look at this..."

Lin Yun understood the stakes involved and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you! When I ask you this time, I will count the specific number first, and then I will make a final decision on this matter after discussing it with Mr. Fu Yin!"

Wang Chuanzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your understanding!"

At this time, Ma Ji said: "Sir, letting Mr. Wang provide food is indeed the best choice, but the impact cannot be underestimated! Many of the officials in the Fengdu camp are from the capital, so reducing their Their military pay and food will definitely be met with resistance! This is very detrimental to Manager Wang’s rule!”

Lin Yun snorted coldly and said: "They have to agree even if they don't agree. Mr. Wang, please bear with me more. This is also a test for you. I will leave this matter to you. Don't let me down!"

He didn't have any good ideas. At this point, he could only share the difficulties with them.

Otherwise, if the famine in Haocheng cannot be resolved in time, the disturbance may become even greater.

Wang Chuanzhong nodded solemnly. In fact, Ma Ji didn't need to tell him, he knew it very well, but he didn't dare to refuse.

He was afraid of being disliked by Lin Yun.

"I understand!!"

With that said, Wang Chuanzhong stood up on his chair, greeted Lin Yun with fists, turned and left.

Walking out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Wang Chuanzhong could only smile and shake his head. It seemed that his official position had been promoted, and the troubles had become more.

This was something he had not expected.

This test Lin Yun gave him was unusual. If he didn't handle it well, he would offend his subordinates, and he would also offend Lin Yun and Qiu Guangri at the same time.

This was a weight he couldn't bear.

Watching Wang Chuanzhong leave, Ma Ji said in a deep voice: "Master, Haocheng has a population of about 300,000. Even if the Sun family, my Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Fengdu Camp take action, they can only solve half of the problems, and the remaining What to do with those?"

Ma Ji should be concerned about this matter. After all, Lin Yun promised to let him succeed Haocheng Prefect.

It won't be long before these tough questions fall on his head.

Ma Ji naturally became positive.

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Has Mr. Ma ever seen the most tragic scenes of disaster victims and refugees?"

Ma Ji shook his head awkwardly.

"I've never seen this before, my official!"

Sun Xuemeng, who had been listening in, also looked curious. She didn't think Lin Yun had such deep experience and had seen such a terrifying scene.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "In the face of a disaster, no matter how much food is provided, it will never be enough! And the victims will also become crazy under the disaster. In this case, the prepared food can be divided and supplied, and then be distributed here Add some coarse grains or something that can fill your stomach! Only in this way can you have a chance to completely overcome the famine!"

"I say that, do you think Manager Ma understands?"

Ma Ji frowned and remained silent. It wasn't that he didn't understand, but that it was hard to accept.

No matter where you are, people eat whole grains or other foods to satisfy their hunger.

But that's normal.

But if you are a person who has been hungry for a long time, your stomach will have run out of oil and water, you will get hungry faster, and your body's endurance will become worse.

As one goes, riots and riots can easily occur.
