Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

There is only one possibility.

Hebei Daohao merchants paid a high price for the bamboo furniture they bought!

Among the gentry, someone said angrily: "Why are these bastards fighting against us? I can't even figure out why they are willing to pay a high price to buy those things!"

Chen Ran's face was extremely ugly, his palms were clenched into fists, trembling slightly, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Why else? Merchants are chasing profit. They obviously saw those bamboo tools, which can make them rich!"

Hearing this, the dozen or so gentry fell silent.

If this is the case, it would make sense for wealthy merchants in Hebei Province to pay high prices.

Ask yourself, if it were them and saw a business opportunity to make money, they would do the same.

Otherwise, they would not try to annex the people's fields during the natural disaster and severe drought in Hedong Road.

But because of this, the dozen or so gentry were even more puzzled.

How did Zhang Dun and the others manage to double the value of bamboo tools?Can those wealthy merchants willingly buy bamboo furniture?

A gentry stood up and said solemnly: "Old Chen, I will go to Hebei Road in person right now to ask about this matter!"

"No need to go!"

Chen Ran waved his hand and took a deep breath, "Go now, it's too late!"

"Even if you go to Hebei Road now and ask the matter clearly, will it help the matter?"

"The disaster victims in the city now have money in their hands because of weaving bamboo tools!"

"With money, what will they do?"

They will start ransoming the fields!

A line of words popped up in the minds of a dozen gentry.

Thinking of this, everyone's faces became even more ugly.

They took advantage of the month-on-month drought in Hedong Road to annex the fields, and finally succeeded.

Now, they are facing the risk of being redeemed!

The reason why the disaster victims were able to do this was all because of Zhang Dun!

Chapter 280 The Chen family and the gentry were desperate

"Old Chen, what should we do now, you have to come up with an idea."

Among the gentry, someone said anxiously.

"The matter has come to this, what else can the old man do?"

Chen Ran was silent for a long time before he said, "Unless Zhang Dun is dead."

The hearts of the dozen or so gentry jumped.

Let Zhang Dun die?

This may be a solution.

However, who can bear the consequences?

As an imperial envoy, if Zhang Dun died in Hedong Road, the court would be furious.

At that time, Hedong Road went up and down, and I don't know how many people will fall to the ground.

The gentry with the Futou smiled wryly and said, "This method is not very feasible."

Chen Ran took a deep breath, "How can the old man not know? If we really want to take that step, I'm afraid you and I should also be killed."

"Besides, is it that easy to kill Zhang Dun?"

"It's not like Sun Xue and Lu Zitao haven't tried it before, what's the result?"

In the hall, there was no sound again.

Everyone looked helpless. Facing Zhang Dun, they had nothing to do.

"Now fight to the death."

Chen Ran closed his eyes, with a look of more than enough energy, and said: "Immediately write a letter to Hebei Road and tell them that they are not allowed to accept bamboo tools."

"If they feel that they have lost money, let them remember how much they lost, and we will replenish them in the future."

"This time, Zhang Dun and the others brought back thousands of guan, and the money is not enough to redeem all the fields and houses we bought."

"As long as we can pinch the source at the source and prevent those victims from earning any more money, our efforts will not be in vain."

Hearing this, the gentry nodded one after another, and a middle-aged gentry said in a deep voice, "We'll write a letter and have someone take it to Hebei Road when we get back."

As he spoke, he hesitated and said, "Old Chen, will the wealthy merchants on the Hebei Road listen?"

Chen Ran remained silent.

It is in nature for a businessman to seek profit.

If you really want them to listen, you have to cut meat and feed them.

If this can stop them, it's nothing to cut some meat and feed them.

But the problem is, now the general trend has become.

Chen Ran was not sure about preventing the victims from getting money to redeem their fields.

For a moment, a sense of powerlessness emerged in his heart.

If from the very beginning, if we had intersected with Zhang Dun and not opposed him, would there still be room for change?

Suddenly, among a dozen gentry, a man in his 40s with a square face and a green shirt stood out with a gloomy expression.

"Old Chen, I have a solution."

Chen Ran raised his head and asked, "Tell me in detail."

The man in the green shirt said in a deep voice: "Zhang Dun, he is an imperial envoy, we can't kill him, but we can't watch him let the victims weave bamboo tools and sell them for money!"

"My solution is to burn the bamboo forest!"

He glanced at everyone solemnly, and said, "Burn all the bamboo forests! Without bamboo, it's like without rice, and it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!"

Some of the gentry frowned and said, "There are so many people in the bamboo forest now, once it is burned, what if people are burned to death?"

The man in the green shirt sneered, "What's the big deal if some people die? What matters is the bamboo forest!"

The gentry were silent, and they also felt that this method was a good one.

But the question is, who will make this decision?

Everyone looked at Chen Ran again.

"Your method is a bit inappropriate."

Chen Ran pondered for a long time, and said: "However, it is a good way, we don't have to burn the bamboo forest, we can use other methods to destroy the bamboo forest."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up immediately, and the man in green shirt also smiled, nodded and said: "I understand!"

Chen Ran lightly tapped the table with his fingers, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Let's see what Zhang Dun can do!"

----

"Hi Zhang Shaoyin!"

"Meet Zhang Shaoyin!"

"Zhang Shaoyin, this is the bun I just bought, try it!"

Outside the chief executive's mansion, in Jinyang County, Zhang Dun took Li Lizhi and Hu Quhe along the streets of the city.

The victims along the road, seeing his figure, came over with joyful expressions.

Some victims called him respectfully, and some victims wanted to give him some of the things they bought.

Zhang Dun smiled and nodded, while politely rejecting the kindness of the victims.

After getting rid of them, Li Lizhi blinked and said, "Lang Jun, they respect you very much."

Hu Quhe covered his mouth with a snicker and said, "If it were someone else, if they could do what Mr. did, they would definitely do the same."

Zhang Dun was wearing a green shirt, with his hands behind his back, tilted his head and said with a smile: "The people are water, and the king is a boat. Water can carry a boat and capsize it."

"Confucius also said, governing with virtue."

"Mencius also said that the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least."

"An official is kind to the people, and an official is like the sun and the moon in the sky, and the people respect him."

"That's why the common people have such an attitude."

As he said that, he glanced at Hu Quhe and said: "Qu He, if one day you can become an official in the court, you have to remember this!"

Hu Quhe's pretty face was solemn, and he nodded seriously: "My family will always remember the teachings of the master."

"As for the length..."

Zhang Dun looked at Li Lizhi, thought for a while and said, "From now on, you will be a good wife!"

"Fuck you!" Li Lizhi cast him a pair of beautiful white eyes, and the smile on her face became even stronger.

Zhang Dun took her little hand and said with a smile: "I won't talk about it when I come out today, let's go shopping!"

An hour later, Zhang Dun took his two daughters back to the chief executive's mansion.

After going out for a trip, I bought a hairpin for Li Lizhi, and she was very happy for a long time.

She gave Hu Quhe a copy of "The Analects of Confucius", and she was also very happy for a long time.

Zhang Dun looked at Changsun Wuji, Du Yan and others sitting in the lobby of the government office, and after sitting down, he said with a smile: "It is said that villains and women are difficult to raise, but I think they are not right."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

Du Yan put down the official document in his hand, raised his head and couldn't help laughing and said, "That means you found a good woman, and you also found a good female disciple."

Changsun Wuji: "..."

After Du Yan finished speaking, he felt that he had said the wrong thing, and turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Changsun Wuji staring at him with wide eyes.

You have to make the old man sick?Should this be said in front of the old man?

Du Yan understood the meaning of his gaze, and couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, Zhang Dun suddenly became suspicious, looked at Cheng Yaojin who was sitting next to him drinking a small wine, pointed to his beard and said: "Cheng Gong, your beard has grown."

Cheng Yaojin's heart skipped a beat, he put down the wine glass in his hand, stroked his beard, and asked in surprise, "Is there any?"

Du Yan also looked at him, nodded and said, "It's really long."

Zhang Dun narrowed his eyes and said, "You look familiar to me the more you look like this."

Cheng Yaojin's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly laughed and said, "You face those disaster victims every day, and there are many bearded among them. Seeing that my beard has grown, it is normal for me to feel familiar."

Chapter 281 What to do, the bamboo forest is all destroyed

While talking, Cheng Yaojin slandered, the old man will shave off his beard later, damn it, beard is really a bad thing!

Zhang Dun didn't think too deeply. He looked at Lu Zizang who was sitting beside him and was making plans, and asked, "Lu Changshi, how is the money?"

Lu Zizang raised his head and said solemnly: "Everything that should be released has already been released. A total of [-] guan have been issued, and there are still [-] guan left."

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "Keep it in case of emergencies."

"How many bamboo tools are there now?"

Lu Zizang grinned and said, "There are already 40 pieces of woven bamboo furniture in the city broken."

Zhang Dun heaved a sigh of relief. Things are going well. This is good news. He mused:

"There should be more in the future. After the victims spread the news of receiving the money, tens of thousands more victims came to Jinyang County."

"These people also need to be resettled. It is a good thing for us to resettle one more person and one less disaster victim."

"No!" Lu Zizang nodded emphatically.

Ma Yuangui sat aside, looked at Zhang Dun, and secretly sighed.
