Regarding Yuan Chonghuan, it was well-known in the Ming Dynasty. During the period when the Later Jin Dynasty was raging, he was like a magic needle for the Ming Dynasty to set sail in Liaodong. He led the Guanning Iron Cavalry to resist foreign enemies and defeated Huang Taiji's conspiracy many times. He was a god of war in the army. Later generations' evaluations of him were polarized. Some people said he was a national hero, some said he was a sinner for the ages, and everyone talked about it, and no one could convince anyone, because it was history, and no one witnessed it with his own eyes, even Lu Haoshan could not tell who was right and who was wrong.

Liaodong is too far from Jiangyou. The news in ancient times is blocked. There is no major incident. It often only takes several months to spread. Now, Huang Taiji led his army to attack the capital, and the emperor was unable to feel it. However, the people of Jiangyou could not feel it. It was also God worshiping, drinking wine, and enjoying lanterns. It was not that they were insensitive, but that there was very little news about this. The court also selectively blocked it. In the minds of the people, as long as they paid the taxes to the country, they could still have food and clothing, and they would be satisfied.

Lu Haoshan's status is too low now, and he cannot contact people or confidential matters of the same level as Yuan Chonghuan. Seeing the imperial court's report and a stack of orders, Lu Haoshan felt the urgency of time.

After flipping through the stack of orders, Lu Haoshan felt a little moved: It was like accompanying the king. Yesterday, he was still full of holy relatives. When he woke up, he was sent to prison. Yuan Chonghuan could not have expected that he led his troops to travel thousands of miles back to Beijing for rescue, but in the end he could not even enter the city gate. After the bloody battle outside the city, he hung into Beijing with a big basket. With a command, Chongzhen sent him to prison. The Guanning Iron Cavalry who fought bloodily did not even have a chance to rest. He returned to Liaodong in his blood armor, but the heroes were treated like this. It can be said that the hearts of countless soldiers were cold.

Some of the people in the collection were Yuan Chonghuan's family, some were his confidants, and some were his followers. These once glorious people have become the repeated offenders of the collection of the court. It has been thirty years since Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, and things in the world are unpredictable.

If the imperial court had not needed Guanning Iron Cavalry to guard the border, or the Guanning Iron Cavalry was too elite and fierce, and no one could suppress it, Chongzhen probably wouldn't let this legendary army go. Chongzhen was capable and talented, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time. When he was in power, the Ming Dynasty was terminally ill and rotten wood was hard to carve. But he encountered a small ice river and was willing to govern the country, but he was unable to turn the world back.

Another point is that his suspicion is too strong.

"Sir, sir, are you okay?" Cao Hu looked at Lu Haoshan holding the orders and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was immersed in the spirit. Cao Hu couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Lu Haoshan then woke up, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just thought that the Later Jin bullies people too much. Now he dares to send troops to our Ming Dynasty and threaten the capital. He is so brave."

"Not" Cao Hu said angrily: "The pig's tail is only tens of thousands, but the hundreds of thousands of people stationed in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty seem to be like decorations, and they are all riding on their heads to shit. Now they are still fighting in the internal strife, and they are simply a group of idiots."

"Okay, stop talking, be careful that disaster comes from the mouth." Lu Haoshan interrupted him and said: "These major national affairs cannot be criticized by small people like us. Just do your duty."

Cao Hu's face turned stern and immediately said, "Yes, sir, I've taught you the right lesson."

Zhou Dayuan smiled and said, "Brother Cao is here, it's just right, let's have a meal together."

"this...."

Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "Go, we are discussing a plan for one step."

The county master spoke, so the two of them naturally had no objection and went to Yingbin Building to have a meal together. Although Yingbin Building was crowded, the three giants in Jiangyou County came. Besides, the Yingbin Building was also a property of the county government. When the fat shopkeeper saw the county magistrate coming, he jogged out with his belly and arranged for the three of them himself. Soon he got a sumptuous meal. This was in the wing room and no one saw it. Besides, Lu Haoshan was not a pedantic person. He finally had such a good life, so he naturally had to enjoy it.

When a person eats wild vegetable porridge for several months, he knows how happy it is to eat a delicious braised pork.

After three rounds of wine and five rounds of taste, he made fun of Cao Hu and Li Yunniang and slowly began to lead the conversation to the main business. Lu Haoshan drank a glass of wine and asked casually: "Zhou Sili, have anyone come to the door to cause trouble after Chen Gui's death? I heard that Chen Gui used to cover the sky with his hands in Jiangyou, and had many wings, so I am afraid of future troubles."

"Sir, don't worry," Zhou Dayuan smiled and said, "As the saying goes, tea is cold, who will care about a person who loses power? The adults do not hold others accountable, and then guarantee that they will not pursue any benefits they receive. This is the biggest trick, and he is isolated at once. No one in Jiangyou County stands for him anymore. A tiger father and dog son. Chen Gui has two sons. He is ignorant and has set up a gang in the Black Tiger Hall. On the day Chen Gui was imprisoned, Captain Cao took someone to take it over. Oh, by the way, I heard that he has a good relationship with the governor and has a lot of filial piety during the holidays. Unfortunately, the governor ordered him to be removed in September last year because of his poor food and grass. In this way, no one will stand up for him."

Lu Haoshan said with some confusion: "Then isn't the Chen clan the largest clan in the county? There is no movement at all?"

"Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. If Chen Gui was not dead, they might make trouble. But once Chen Gui died, they would still dare to rebel?" Cao Hu sneered: "I'm afraid they won't cause trouble. I'm just trying to sharpen their spirits. In the past, they relied on Chen Gui's power to do uncommon things. If we don't cause trouble, they will laugh secretly. Do they dare to make trouble?"

Zhou Dayuan sneered from the side: "The No. 1 clan? They are worthy of it?"

"Hey, Jiangyou has a family that is more prominent than the Chen clan?" Lu Haoshan said with a curious look.

"The Chen clan has only produced a Chen Gui, which has only emerged in recent years. To be precise, Chen Gui has become prosperous and prosperous as the county magistrate. The time has been too short. Now the Chen clan has only two unsatisfactory children. Not to mention Jinshi, there are not even a Juren, and there is no background. At most, it is a nouveau riche. I will scare ordinary people. If you want to talk about the largest clan in Jiangyou, it is the Zhao clan."

"Zhao clan? What's the origin?" Lu Haoshan asked curiously.

When talking about the Zhao clan, Zhou Dayuan had a little more respect in his eyes and said seriously: "If you want to talk about the first tribe of Jiangyou, the Zhao clan believes that he is the second tribe, but no one dares to recognize himself as the first tribe. It is said that Mr. Zhao is a juren, reads the books of sages, and is polite. He is the maids and servants in the family. They are all generous and decent, exuding the smell of a wealthy family. Some people say that some of his ancestors have been high-ranking officials, and some say that they have disciples to be big salt merchants, but the people of the Zhao family never talk about it, and they are never ostentatious, and they seem very low-key. Besides, they are not native Jiangyou people, so they are not as famous as the Chen clan. According to villains, whether it is talent or family background, the Chen clan is not as good as the Zhao clan. Mr. Zhao is the richest man in Jiangyou."

"They aren't natives?"

"Well, it is said that they moved here for more than 40 years, and they bought a large piece of land to settle down in one go. At that time, a Tongzhi came forward to do it. It can be seen that they have a wide connection. Many people said that they are a branch of a large family and have grown up here. However, they paid their taxes very on time and never pushed back their labor. The public security was very good. There was no case of fighting for decades. The people in the county government could not understand its background. Gradually, Zhaojia Village became a relatively special existence."

This little Jiang You and such a family? When Lu Haoshan heard this, he immediately became interested and planned to touch his bottom with time.

Everyone talked about the situation in the county government. At Cao Hu's strong request, Lu Haoshan agreed to kick Zhang Chunnian, who had once become Chen Gui's confidant, out of the county government government. Zhou Dayuan also suggested that the loyalty of Chen Gui in the county government be moved far away. Lu Haoshan also agreed to this request.

Now that we are just starting out, we still need to rely on these two people to contribute to our efforts, so we naturally have to show our trust in them.

When it was about to end, Lu Haoshan said seriously: "Zhou Si Li, I have something to do, you need to do it."

As soon as he saw Lu Haoshan so serious, Zhou Dayuan immediately stood up and saluted and said, "Sir, please give me instructions."

"Now that disasters are coming year by year, prices are soaring. I guess the situation will only be worse for a long time in the future. As the saying goes, if you have food in your hand, you are not panic. If you ignore other officials, then Jiang'an Cang must be well managed. If you cannot eat, you will deal with all the broken ones. I have read the information and it is said that Jiang'an Cang can store up to 30,000 stones, so I will hand it over to you."

Zhou Dayuan said in surprise: "Sir, the ancients said that good times are good and bad times a year. After several years of disaster, there should be a good weather investigation. The villain agreed to manage Jiang'ancang well, but now he has accumulated a lot, but I am afraid he will lose more. According to regulations, 10,000 stones is enough."

As usual, there was nothing wrong with that, but when it happened to the Little Ice River period, the disaster was still long. However, Lu Haoshan could not explain these words to him, so he had to fool him and said, "This matter was said by a very famous Taoist priest. Let me keep it confidential. Zhou Si Li, you can do it as you want. The money you need will be collected in the county government."

"Yes, sir." Zhou Dayuan now obeyed Lu Haoshan's words. Anyway, he didn't spend his own money. After saying that, his eyes rolled quickly a few times and whispered: "Sir, if the harvest is still bad this year, the price of grain will rise. If Shangguan Xun checked it, it may be transferred, but it will not be transferred. The price of grain has risen and the books are not easy to operate. Why don't we find another place to hide the grain? Anyway, if the loss is from the county government, if it makes a profit, it will be from the adults."

When Zhou Dayuan said that, his face was smiling like a flower, and he was so smiling.

"Okay, Zhou Sishi is more thoughtful. Just like this, store as much as possible. I promise that there will be profits and no compensation." Lu Haoshan was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately agreed to his proposal.

To achieve hegemony, the first thing to do is to dig deep into the walls and accumulate grain. Later, grain is more expensive than gold, and there is food, there are people. Now Lu Haoshan only needs the result and does not care about the process.

"Yes, sir."

The three of them said while eating. When they were about to finish their meal, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside: "Young Master, Young Master"

It was Liu Jinzhu's voice, and Lu Haoshan immediately responded: "Come in."
