"Which is a thief pretending to be an imperial envoy, but Zhao Dang, the governor of Lingling, why don't you come out and plead guilty?"

  The man in official uniform shouted loudly.

  This person turned out to be Zhao Dang, the prefect of Lingling County, Yan Ge took a closer look and saw that this person had an aquiline nose, a slender beard, and he looked like a scheming person.

  Yan Ge said: "I am the imperial envoy, but I am not a fake, but a genuine imperial envoy! I have a token here!"

  Zhao Tai snorted coldly: "How do I know that you are not a forgery token, everything will be known only after I bring you to the yamen for the first trial!"

  Yan Ge thought to himself, it seems that this Zhao Tai somehow knew the news of his entry into the city, and he was determined to preemptively control him and prevent him from having a chance to find evidence. The purpose was to delay the time to find a solution.

  Now no matter what token he takes out, this Zhao Tai will find an excuse not to believe it.

  As the prefect of a county, Zhao Tai can control more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and there is no room for the Jade Sword Princesses around him to resist.

  He wanted to repeat the old trick, and sent someone to notify the Dutong Division of Lingling County, but found that Zhao Tai was more sophisticated than the bully Li Deng in Jizhou. The news, it can be said that it is hard to fly! Yan Ge was dripping with cold sweat and panicked for a while. At this time, Zhao Tai waved his hand, and his army stepped forward to capture Yan Ge and others.

  At the critical moment, suddenly there was a coquettish shout from the crowd: "The Son of Heaven is here, don't you kneel down and say long live!"

  Everyone was shocked, and the movements of their hands were stagnant. Looking at the person who spoke, they saw Bao Si holding a scroll and standing in the crowd with a calm expression.

  Zhao Tai asked sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

  At this moment, Bao Si released the scroll...the scroll, stood beside Yan Ge, the scroll opened, and it was a portrait of the emperor, which was [-]% similar to Yan Ge! Yue'er also understood Bao Si's intention, and immediately.

  From the package, he pulled out the dragon robe and put it on Yan Ge.

  Yan Geyi put on the dragon robe, and the whole person's appearance suddenly became: majestic, with a face full of anger, he was the emperor himself!

  Zhao Tai also beat a drum in his heart, and his legs shook, but he still said sternly: "Where is the madman who dares to pretend to be the emperor! The emperor lives thousands of miles away in the capital, how can it be possible in this small zero Appears in Ling County."

  At this time, Qi Yun sneered, holding up a thing and shouting to Zhao Tai: "Master Zhao, look at what this is."

  Zhao Tai took a closer look, and saw a jade-green jade seal with a dragon carving shimmering in the air.

  "The Chuanguo Jade Seal is here, and seeing the Chuanguo Jade Seal is like the emperor's visit!"

  As soon as this thing appeared, half of the people in the audience knelt on the ground. Long live the mountain! Only Zhao Tai still stood there in disbelief. Although his soldiers had the urge to kneel, they still looked at Zhao Tai and others. He instructed.

  So Yan Ge said coldly: "Master Zhao, if you still don't believe it, you can send someone to invite the General Secretary of Lingling to come, and I can ask him to verify my Privy Council token! In addition, I was in Jizhou when I was in Jizhou. Master Mu Yuqi showed his identity, and he also met Tang He, the prefect of Xuanzhou, when he was in Xuanzhou, these two officers can prove my identity."

  "If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Xuanzhou to verify, and you can go back in just one day!"

  In fact, Zhao Tai already believed in Yan Ge's identity at this time.

  After all, it was clear in his heart that no one pretended to be an imperial commissioner at all. The imperial commissioner who appeared in Donghu County should be a real imperial commissioner, but he had a rake in his heart.

  It's just that he never imagined that this imperial envoy would still be the emperor himself, making a private visit, which made his wishful thinking completely unsuccessful.

  Now everyone present can see that Yan Ge has revealed his identity, has reason and evidence, and is willing to let him send someone to verify, he has no reason not to believe Yan Ge's identity! Arrest Yan Ge and get rid of it! But the thought just passed by in a flash.

  Now everyone in the audience saw Yan Ge's identity, and the news could no longer be blocked.

  Once Yan Ge is killed, the whole world will know that he did it, and he will only die without a place to be buried.

  Thinking of this, Zhao Tai can only sigh, get off his horse, and kneel on the ground: "Criminal Zhao Tai, knock to see the emperor!"

  "Long live my emperor!"

  Zhao Tai dismounted, and after kneeling and bowing, the soldiers under his command breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole audience fell to their knees.

  Yan Ge immediately ordered Zhao Tai to be taken down, and he sat in the prefecture's office to interrogate Zhao Tai for his crimes! In addition, in order to ensure Yan Ge's safety, Qi Yun personally took someone to notify the Lingling Metropolitan Secretary to send troops to Lingling City! General Lingling Metropolitan Secretary After seeing the token presented by Qi Yun, Zhihan did not dare to neglect, and that night he led 500 troops into Lingling City without stopping. With military power in hand, Yan Ge finally gained complete control of Lingling

  Power! So the next step is the interrogation of the prefect Zhao Tai.

  Zhao Tai was still stubborn, but he thought he could conceal the crime.

  But after the people from the Lady's Department sorted out some clues they had, and Yan Ge had the identification of Huang Chenyu, the magistrate of Donghu County, he had a bottom line and a harsh interrogation, and finally broke through the old fox's psychology and defense line.

  So Zhao Tai accused himself of diverting water conservancy construction funds to fill the gaps in other departments, as well as the crime of collaborating with county magistrates to sell relief food.

  "Zhao Tai, the crime you committed was originally a capital crime, and a thousand cuts would not be an exaggeration! But now I want you to take the initiative to plead guilty, I will give you a chance to commit the crime and make merit, and you must identify all the people involved in Lingling County for me. , If you can confess all, I will consider spare your life, if you hide a little bit, I will let your head fall!"

  Yan Ge shouted.

  Zhao Tai kowtowed to thank him: "Your Majesty, the sinner must have no reservations, and tell everything he knows!"

  Therefore, with Zhao Tai's confession, Yan Ge launched a clean-up operation in the entire Lingling area. All officials involved in the incident were arrested, and there were nearly [-] people. It can only be said that Lingling County has rotted to the core. Now! Dealing with the officials who committed these crimes is only the first step. The most important thing now is to completely solve the disaster in Lingling County! But now the situation here is like a muddy mess, and Yan Ge has no one to rely on. At this time, he missed Wang Meng, Fan Li and the others immensely. With his own, he could still grasp the general strategy. It would be almost meaningless to say that he was in charge.

  At this time, Yan Ge thought of a person, Dean He, whom he had heard of in Yuelu Academy that day, and immediately.

  Send someone to invite him out.

  "He Mu, the grass-man, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

  Dean He was dressed in commoner clothes, with fluttering sleeves and a childlike face, and he really looked like an expert.

  Yan Ge hurriedly held his hand: "Mr. He, in the face of this situation in Lingling County, I can't do anything, please ask the teacher to teach me!"

  "Your Majesty broke me!"

  He Mu was taken aback, but when he saw Yan Ge being such a virtuous corporal, he was also very moved.

  "Your Majesty, to be honest, the grass-roots people have been in the past few days: thinking about the disaster in Lingling County, I have drawn up several disaster relief plans in my heart.

  Now that I have the trust of Your Majesty, I dare to speak."

  "He Lao please say it!"

  "Your Majesty, there are five afflictions in this disaster, officials, businessmen, bandits, and food ailments. If any of them are not handled properly, the disaster will worsen.

  Officials act like hustlers and embezzle the disaster relief money and grain.

  If the merchants take the opportunity to make the country difficult to make money and raise prices, it will lead to the collapse of the market order."

  "Bandit means that the victims cannot wait for relief and are forced to become bandits. Bandits will further aggravate the disaster and make the situation uncontrollable.

  Food is the foundation of disaster relief. People are iron rice and steel. There are so many disaster victims in Lingling, so they have to eat so much food.

  If food is not available, then everything is empty talk."

  "Finally, we must strictly prevent plagues. Floods and food shortages have caused a large number of people to die. If we don't deal with them properly, if a plague breaks out, it will not be a disaster for one county and one county, but a disaster for the entire Great Wei Dynasty."

  He Mu talked eloquently, and Yan Ge couldn't help nodding his approval.

  Jiang is still old and hot! He Mu's five points: 55: He is to the point, concise and to the point. He has come to see the situation and his understanding of the disaster is probably the same, but it can be summed up as "official, business, bandit food disease". "

  These five words, he has no ability to do it.

  "Since Mr. He has seen things so clearly, what solutions are there?"

  Yan Ge asked again.

  "Your Majesty, the measures for disaster relief are nothing more than starting from these five points: 55: start: and take these five points: 55: prevention well, and the disaster should be solved."

  "One is to completely open the warehouse and release grain, as His Majesty did in Donghu County.

  Now life is at stake, and there are many officials in various places: hesitating, looking ahead and looking back, it will only lead to the loss of the period of disaster relief.

  From my point of view, the existing grain reserves should be completely emptied and fully distributed to the people!"

  "After opening the warehouse and releasing the grain, the current stockpile of grain cannot meet the needs of disaster relief, so the second is that we need to continue to raise grain.

  This requires His Majesty to coordinate the overall situation.

  In addition to the loss of grain from the national treasury, the neighboring Minyue Road and Jiangning Road have had a bumper harvest this year. You can borrow grain from nearby areas as appropriate, and you can also buy grain from merchants.

  In short, we must try our best to supplement the food.”

  "Thirdly, in the process of raising and distributing food, strictly investigate corrupt officials and ensure that no omissions are made in every link, and that all the transferred food can be distributed to the people.

  In addition, we must severely crack down on businessmen who maliciously drive up grain prices to ensure that all regions can buy grain at a fair price."

  "Fourth, we must actively repair houses in various places, so that refugees who have nowhere to go can return home as soon as possible, so as to stabilize social order.

  In addition, the dams must be strengthened to prevent the disaster from recurring and aggravating the disaster in the short term.”

Chapter 125 I Want This Girl

  "Finth, the disaster victims who are affected by the disaster and have no job to make a living should be arranged by the government to ensure that they can maintain their livelihood and will not become thieves.

  In order to create more errands, the government can fund the construction of water conservancy, streets, and large-scale construction, which can enable more people to participate in the construction and maintain social stability."

  "Sixth, the bodies found in the whole county must be organized to bury them by hand to prevent the emergence of the plague, and doctors should also be organized to visit a hospital in a county to save the lives and wounds of the people."

  "Finally, all taxes this year should also be reduced or exempted, as a relief."

  After listening to He Mu's words, Yan Ge clapped his hands and said, "Old He said it too well, just do as you said!"

  He Mu's disaster relief measures are basically comprehensive and very reasonable.

  Yan Ge recalled that the economic crisis of the United States in 192 was just through the construction of the Tennessee River Water Conservancy Project to create employment opportunities, reduce the unemployment rate, and maintain a stable and balanced economy.

  Now He Lao's measures are also a bit visceral.

  This move can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Not only can it stabilize people's hearts, but secondly, the water conservancy project in Lingling County has a big problem.

  Rebuilds will ensure that nothing like this will happen in the coming year.

  Therefore, Yan Ge used He Mu as his staff advisor to mobilize the local defenders to participate in the disaster relief, the staff of the Ladies Division to assist in the administrative management, Zhao Dao to participate in the disaster relief command, and Yu Baizhi to lead the medical work in person. The work was carried out in an orderly manner! After more than ten days, Yan Ge personally supervised the battle and finally achieved good results. The disaster situation has basically stabilized. The refugees are slowly returning to their places of residence. The officials who committed the crime were basically arrested, and the dawn of the end of the disaster was coming.

  But at this moment, Zhao Tai reported to him that the price of grain in Lingling County was forced by the government to be at par, but a new problem appeared. A priceless situation.

  If merchants do not sell grain, the efficiency of government grain-raising is greatly reduced, and disaster relief work is greatly affected.

  "It's hard, it's hard."

  Yan Ge's face turned into a bitter gourd again, and he finally suppressed the food price, but new problems appeared, which left him helpless, even He Mu was helpless, sighing that he did not expect this, and the two also Can only stare wide-eyed.

  In the end, Bao Si suggested Yan Ge Feige to pass on the book to the top advisors in the capital for help.

  That day, when Baosi calmly used the emperor's portrait to prove Yan Ge's identity in the crisis, Yan Ge was impressed and respected this cold beauty.

  So he immediately sent a letter to the Beijing cabinet, but he did not expect to get a reply from Wang Meng the next day.

  The content of Wang Meng's letter is very simple: Your Majesty, please let go... Food prices, let food prices rise, and food will be available soon.

  Yan Ge was stunned when he heard it, let go of the price of food, then that group of... merchants will not go against the sky. When the price of food is too high, the whole market will collapse. Isn't this trying to kill the people? For Wang Meng's trust, Yan Ge still dubiously canceled the policy of suppressing grain at parity, but kept punishing malicious price hikes and joint price control, and did not impose restrictions on reasonable increases in grain prices.

  Unexpectedly, within three days after the government issued this policy, merchants from Jiannan Road, Baling Road, Jiangning Road and other places continued to deliver grain to Lingling! It turned out that the merchants saw the increase in grain prices, which was beneficial. Figure, so flocked to, hoping to take this opportunity to make a fortune.

  After it was transported to Lingling, considering the actual purchasing power of the people in Lingling, the merchants did not set the price too outrageous. After all, the price of food here was much higher than other areas, and the merchants would not be too blackhearted.
