Chapter 950 Zhao Kuo's Thunder Means

After Zhao Kuo said this, Mai Bo was not depressed, but instead showed an expression like an amnesty.

"It's really great if Jun Hou is willing to take action!"

Zhao Kuo looked at Mai Bo and nodded slightly.

Fortunately, although this county magistrate is indeed lacking in ability to deal with complex situations, he is still a self-aware person.

A person who is self-aware can still be used, but what he is afraid of is those who immediately start to expand after being promoted and don’t even know how much he weighs.

Mai Bo quickly said to Zhao Kuo: "I wonder how the lower officials can cooperate with Junhou's actions?"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said to Mai Bo: "You just need to give me the military talisman and sit in your county magistrate's mansion to watch the show."

According to common sense, the local official's military talisman should be the military chief of a county, that is, the county lieutenant.

However, since Dang County is a newly conquered territory, in order to facilitate the county magistrates who had just arrived here, the Zhao court temporarily placed the military talismans in the hands of Maibo and other county magistrates, so that they could mobilize their troops at critical moments to suppress some behaviors that might affect the rule of Zhao.

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Mai Bo didn't dare to say anything more, and immediately said, "The official understands, go back now and send the military talisman to Junhou right away."

After Mai Bo left, Su Li immediately appeared beside Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo said to Su Li: "You have done all the preparations you have made before, right?"

Su Li nodded respectfully and said, "Please rest assured, we have made all the preparations we should make, and all the goals have been locked."

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile and stopped talking.

After another half an hour, Mai Bo arrived again and brought the military talisman.

Zhao Kuo took the military talisman and said to Mai Bo: "You will issue an order immediately and tell everyone in the entire Daliang City that before sunset tomorrow, the price of grain will increase, and this matter will be completely resolved."

Mai Bo was shocked after hearing Zhao Kuo's words, and almost felt that Zhao Kuo was joking with him.

After being in a daze for several seconds, Mai Bo found that Zhao Kuo had no intention of joking at all, so he spoke: "Please don't worry, please don't worry, the official must immediately convey Jun Hou's order so that everyone in Daliang City will know."

Looking at Mai Bo's back as he left for the second time, Zhao Kuo smiled and said to Su Li beside him: "Now everything is ready, let's start!"

Mai Bo did not do other things well, but because he rarely expressed an extremely tough attitude in this matter, Zhao Kuo's order immediately spread throughout Daliang City in a short period of time.

This order immediately attracted countless people's discussions.

"This matter will be solved before sunset tomorrow. This Wu Xinjun shouldn't be bragging, right?"

"It shouldn't be that. He is the prime minister of Zhao. If he can't solve the problem if he says it, he has no place to save face."

"Maybe he has found those guys who control the price of food. To be honest, these people are very hateful. My family can't afford food now."

Overall, most people in Daliang City still hope that Zhao Kuo can solve this problem quickly.

The people in Daliang City are different from those outside the city. They do not have arable land, and most of them have to work for merchants or some nobles in exchange for remuneration, and then use these remunerations to buy food.

It is precisely because of this that they are very sensitive to the price of food and are also the group of people who are most susceptible to the price of food.

In the face of the pressure of real life, their priority is naturally their own survival.

Of course, if they really can't survive, then for their own survival, they don't mind lying the slogan of restoring the Wei Kingdom.

In many cases, the reason why slogans can be supported is actually because there are so many personal reasons behind it. In the feudal era, there is usually only one kind of personal reason, that is, they can't afford to eat.

Unlike the people's eager expectations, another group of people gathered immediately after hearing the news.

Needless to say, this group of people is carefully planned for this food crisis in Daliang City, which is the old subordinates of Xinlingjun who want to restore the Wei State.

The previous few people were the protagonists, and they spoke calmly, "Have you revealed your whereabouts?"

Why can the Zhao State government issue such a positive notice?"

A rough voice spoke in a disapproving tone, "How could it be possible to expose your whereabouts? Zhao Kuo's whereabouts are so tightly controlled by us. He himself has not even found that he was being followed by our people. Can he catch our whereabouts with his ability?"

Another voice that sounded hoarse, said, "I guess this is just because the people of Zhao made an promise after learning that the price of grain has soared. How could they have a way to completely calm the food prices in the entire city in just two days?"

A rough voice spoke directly: "Now the food in Daliang City is at least 70% of the food, and it is controlled by us. As long as we don't speak, Daliang City will starve to death at least thousands of people this winter.

At that time, do you still need to worry that the people in this city will not rebel with us?

It's winter again in the snow and ice, and it's very difficult to mobilize the Zhao army. When the Zhao army in the nearby city learned about the situation and wanted to come to rescue, Zhao Kuo's head might have already dried up!"

The rough voice obviously means that he is addicted and his whole body is getting more and more excited.

The calm voice was silent for a while, and then said, "I always feel that you think about this matter too simply. If Zhao Kuo is really such an easy person to deal with, then he would not have caused such great trouble to the other six countries, including our Wei Kingdom, in the past few years, and destroyed two of them."

The rough voice immediately corrected him: "It's not two countries, but one.

Because our Wei Kingdom is about to be revived successfully."

A rough voice, just as the words fell, a loud laugh suddenly rang outside the door of the room.

"A group of rats who only know how to hide their heads and tails and play tricks in secret are actually hoping to restore the Wei Kingdom, which is simply a daydream!"

With this sentence, the door of the room was kicked open with a slam and a young man in general's armor strode in.

This young man is nothing else, but Pang Nuan’s grandson, Pang Jian.

This time during Zhao Kuo's journey south, Pang Jian was temporarily appointed to become Zhao Kuo's guard captain.

The few people in the room obviously never expected that Pang Jian would suddenly appear in this place.

So when the door opened, they subconsciously wanted to escape, but unfortunately, the whole room was surrounded by Zhao's army soldiers early in the morning. After a few seconds, they were all tied up.

Then several people suddenly understood. They had been touched by Zhao Kuo's people at some point, surrounded silently, and were completely unexpected.

Immediately someone shouted the wronged and started shouting loudly.

"You all misunderstood. We are all good people. This general is all misunderstood!"

"Yes, yes, we are all loyal to Da Zhao. Our loyalty to Da Zhao is visible. This is just a misunderstanding!"

"Why don't this general sit down and have a few drinks? How can you solve this misunderstanding?"

Pang Jian couldn't help laughing when he looked at the dozen Wei nobles who were caught in front of him.

"You guys really think that this general is an idiot, let me tell you, everyone present today should not want to see the sun tomorrow!"

Pang Jian's words stunned everyone present. They were shocked and looked at Pang Jian in front of them in disbelief.

However, Pang Jian didn't give them any chance to explain, so he waved his hand: "Okay, don't talk nonsense to these guys anymore, take them all!"

A moment later, a large group of Zhao soldiers escorted these Wei nobles and walked out of a very gorgeous mansion in Daliang City.

This mansion is the home of one of these Wei nobles, and it is also the base where these Wei nobles secretly gathered in secret these days.

At this moment, the base was completely snatched by the soldiers of the Zhao army under Pang Jian ordered by Zhao Kuo. Not only these nobles of the Wei Kingdom, but also everyone in the mansion was watched.

The news was quickly passed back to Zhao Kuo.

Su Li said to Zhao Kuo excitedly: "The Junhou has confirmed that basically these dozen nobles are more than 70% of the grain stores and the owners of the granary in Daliang City."

Zhao Kuo nodded and asked Su Li a question: "Among these guys, are there any members of the Wei Kingdom's previous royal family?"

Su Li answered: "There are indeed two or three, but judging from the current interrogation, these people should be mainly subordinates of Xinlingjun."

Zhao Kuo's expression did not change much when he heard about it. Everything seemed to be as expected before, mainly because the prestige of this Xinlingjun was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In fact, the whole thing is basically not difficult for Zhao Kuo. In front of Nightingale's professional spy, the clumsy hiding actions of these Wei people were completely a primary school student-level performance.
