While speaking, Song Zan quickly thought about all the relationship networks left by his father in his mind. Although Song Zan did not serve as an official in the court, he still had these resources, but Song Zan usually didn't want to use them.

Who can help Liu Xiu?

Song Zan thought for a while and realized that no one could help Liu Xiu!The father was demoted because of his involvement in the Hu Weiyong case, and those giant national pillars headed by Hu Weiyong were basically killed by His Majesty. How can the rest of them have the right to change His Majesty's wishes?

etc!King Yan? !

King Yan is also very optimistic about Liu Xiu!Maybe King Yan can save Liu Xiu!

Song Zan's mood calmed down a little, and he had already figured out how to persuade Yan Wang's belly draft.

"Sir, the student's move is not for fame or profit."

Song Zan was taken aback, and asked in confusion, "If you are famous, you don't have to use your brother's name to do things. Liu's shops are all over the world, and you are not short of such gross profits. Then what are you doing? Willing to bet your own money?" future?!"

Liu Xiu smiled, "Sir, you must know what you said."

Xia Yuanji opened his mouth subconsciously, and recited devoutly,

"Build a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for the world!"

"Of course." Liu Xiu nodded, her eyes were firm and determined, with an aura of death as if she was at home,

"Students are doing this to save lives for the people!"

Chapter 216 Three calculations in one step

"Students' actions are for the lives of the people!"

Hearing this, it was as if a big wave had exploded in the hearts of Song Zan and Xia Yuanji, and it kept beating their hearts.

Hengqu's Four Words are the highest summary of Confucianism. They escape from Confucianism and surpass Confucianism. It can be said that it is the highest ideal of every literati.

However, these young people with passionate ideals will be quickly wiped out after entering the officialdom.

Become smooth, become indifferent, become selfish,

Without him,

Circumstances dictate.

Daming's officialdom is like this, it is a huge melting pot,

The Hongwu dynasty was considered to be the best group of Ming officials. This group of officials dared to be responsible, dare to speak out, and had the courage to do things. They still kept corrupt officials, and they couldn’t kill them all.

If the Hongwu Dynasty was like this, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty could be swept away after that, and there were no more officials serving the country.

Song Zan has seen through this for a long time, so he doesn't want to enter the officialdom, and he understands that it is one thing to say it, but another thing to do it.

Everyone can memorize the Hengqu Four Words, and even a three-year-old child can learn a few words, but with the Hengqu Four Words as a way to stand up, how can you actually be a human being?

Very few people.

Even Song Lian sighed in his later years, "How difficult it is to unite knowledge and action", let alone ordinary people.

Song Zan was moved for a moment, looked at Liu Xiu, and his voice softened a bit, "Then tell me, why does Shengmin need you to make a living?"

"Yes, sir." Liu Xiu gave a student salute,

He told about the flood in Anqing Mansion, the Lu family's refusal to report it, and the situation of the refugees scattered.

Snapped!

After hearing this, Song Zan slapped his thigh hard and said angrily,

"How can this be?! How can this be?! The Lu family dares to deceive the king like this!"

Standing aside, Xia Yuanji's eyes were full of anger, and he couldn't help saying,

"Brother Liu, count me in this matter!"

Thinking that I have always regarded the country as my duty for the people, but I am in Anqing Mansion, and I don't know that the people of Anqing Mansion are already in dire straits, and I can't help but feel ashamed.

"Your Excellency?" Liu Xiu asked.

"Xiaosheng Xia Yuanji, Brother Liu is the leader in this matter! Even if I lose my head, I won't regret it!"

Xia Yuanji?

Officials in the Five Dynasties, Great Ming Zhu Kingdom!

Looking at the hot-blooded young man in front of him, Liu Xiu really couldn't connect him with the mature and prudent Xia Yuanji for a while.

"Brother Xia is also a heroic man, but don't worry, brother Xia, this matter will definitely not let you lose your head. If you want to chop it off, it will be my head."

Liu Xiu talked and laughed freely, and regarded life and death as a feather, Xia Yuanji couldn't help admiring him.

Song Zan looked at Liu Xiu and said, "This Lu family is the family of the Crown Princess. Even if the Lu family does too much, the Lu family will not fall. You killed the eldest son of the Lu family, and you have already made a death feud with the Lu family." , if Mrs. Lu whispers in the prince's ear, your situation will be extremely disadvantageous."

Song Zan could clearly analyze the situation in just a few words, but what he didn't expect after killing Song Zan was that Liu Xiu's background in the palace was no less than Lu's.

Empress Ma is a godmother, how can she be afraid of you, little Lu family? !

Liu Xiu looked calm, "Sir, the Lu family is fine. I don't want to bring them down. Your Majesty will judge. As for the elder son of the Lu family, who said I was the one who killed him? Who saw it? It was clearly the angry refugees who killed them." He killed it."

Song Zan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and looked at Liu Xiu with unconcealed admiration, "Hahahaha, according to what you say, the eldest son of the Lu family really died for nothing!"

Liu Xiu's move seemed reckless, but in fact it was completely planned by him.

The Lu family's eccentric house was naturally killed, just to clearly show that he was not afraid of the Lu family.

The eldest son of the Lu family should be killed according to the situation. Liu Xiu didn't want to kill him at first, but Lu Cao shot and killed the refugees, so Liu Xiu couldn't stand it anymore.

But if you kill, you kill.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, even if Lu Cao was the brother of the crown princess and had a title of title on him, but he shot and killed the refugees for no reason, and his crime should be punished.

You know, in the entire Ming Dynasty, only this Lord Hong Wu was the most sympathetic to the common people.

"Well, the important thing is that the refugees need to be resettled quickly."

"Relocate refugees?!" Song Zan exclaimed, "How can you do it by yourself? Why don't you report it to His Majesty!"

Liu Xiu shook her head and said with a wry smile, "It is necessary to report to His Majesty, but we cannot expect any substantial help from the capital."

Xia Yuanji suddenly realized,

The capital has no money, and the treasury is empty again.

As for the money that Liu Xiu got back from Wa Island, part of it was brought to Wa Island along with the blue jade, and was used to completely control Wa Island.

The rest of the money was placed with the King of Wu, and now Liu Xiu decided to use this money for disaster relief.

If His Majesty asks later, you can make up for it with your own money,

However, the money I got back from Wajima couldn't be used right away.

Although the treasure banknotes were issued in the early years of Hongwu, the value of the treasure banknotes depreciated extremely fast. If you keep them in your hands for a long time, you will lose money day by day.

Whether it is private transactions or taxation, copper coins are the hard currency.

Most of the money on the treasure ship is Japanese currency, and the rest is gold and treasure banknotes. These money still need to be exchanged and discounted in Wudi, and then sent over in exchange for supplies.

The whole process was extremely cumbersome and troublesome, so Liu Xiu directly left the mess to Shen Wansan to do it, hoping that he could be faster.

In the Anqing mansion, most of the money is in the Lu family, Liu Xiu has no official clothes, so he cannot copy the Lu family.

Song Zan said with a twinkle in his eyes, "You arrested all the magistrates, co-prefects, and judges in Anqing Mansion. The first is to completely control them and prevent them from uniting with the Lu family again. The second is to use them to extract money from the government." , for relief?"

Liu Xiu nodded, "As long as it can be turned around, the Liu family's supplies will be delivered soon. In the meantime, we must keep the refugees safe."

Song Zan took a deep look at Liu Xiu, and his evaluation of Liu Xiu couldn't help being a little higher in his heart.

I thought he was a talent for governing the country, but I didn't expect that he has a bit of a military style in his actions, which can be regarded as a thunderous method!

While the three of them were talking, Ma Sanbao walked in with a smell of blood. After this baptism, Ma Sanbao's eyes were no longer immature, and he looked brave and diligent.

"master!"

"Say."

"All the officials have been arrested, from the magistrate to the small official, even the food chief!"

Song Zan was taken aback for a moment, and smiled wryly in his heart, Liu Xiu's method was really thorough.

Even the head of food will not let go?

You must know that the head of grain is not an official, but a position held by wealthy businessmen in various grain areas to collect taxes for His Majesty.

However, after thinking about it again, if you want to stabilize the refugees, food supply is essential,

Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, Liu Xiu's plan was so Zhouxiang!

"Where's Lu Yong?"

Ma Sanbao narrowed his eyes, "I put it back. I pretended to take a nap, and he ran away when he saw the situation. All the shops of the Lu family in the city were closed, and the Lu family withdrew to the village. I went to see Lu Zhuang , four archery towers at the front and the back, heavily guarded, without thousands of casualties, it is absolutely impossible to take down."

"Hehe," Liu Xiu smiled, "Why hit him? Just wait for him to make a move."

"Bring those officials in."

"Yes, sir."

Chapter 217 Heaven and Man

Ma Sanbao and two thousand households drove the Anqing government officials in like sheep.

Song Zan swept his eyes,

Good guy, from the fourth rank to the ninth rank, one fell!

This group of Anqing government officials had different expressions on their faces, some were puzzled, some were angry, some were indifferent, but most of them were sarcasm.

That expression seems to be saying, just wait for me!

"Everyone," Liu Xiu cleared her throat, "I invite you all to come here..."

"Are you asking?! It's clearly tied!" Hu Maoxun, the general judge of Anqing Mansion, roared, "Wait, I must give you a copy for His Majesty!"

The official position of the general judge was the most prosperous in the Song Dynasty. Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin himself was affixed with a yellow robe, so you are afraid that the warriors will take power, and after the establishment of the Song Dynasty, they will decentralize power.

Divide local officials into three according to military affairs, political affairs, and financial affairs. After the division, it is not at ease, and literati will be sent from the court to serve as general judges, as the emperor's eyes and ears, to monitor local officials.

The general judge has a low position and great power, and even the chief secretary dare not confront the general judge.
