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

Chen Ran yelled at the case angrily, "Zhang Shaoyin, you are too much of a bully!"

"At the beginning you said you wanted to borrow food, and we also lent it. Whatever you said, we did as well."

Chen Ran said indignantly: "But now, you are not greedy enough, you are too aggressive!"

"If you want to talk about food, we have it, but if you want to talk about houses and fields, even if we have it, we can't give it to you, especially to those disaster victims!"

"Disaster relief is the court's business, not ours, but Zhang Shaoyin imposes disaster relief on us time and time again. What's the reason? Do you think we are easy to bully?"

Zhang Dun looked at him and said patiently, "Old Chen, just listen to me."

"I have this idea, but I won't let you suffer."

He glanced at more than a dozen gentry, looked at the anger on their faces, as if he didn't see it, and said in a calm tone:

"I've already asked someone. Over the past few days, you have taken over the fields of many people, and many people have taken over the houses of the victims."

"The money you spend is also the price at the time of the disaster."

"I will let those victims buy back those houses and fields at the price of the disaster."

"In this way, the victims have land and houses to live in. After they stabilize, they will no longer be displaced, and naturally they will no longer be disaster victims."

Zhang Dun smiled and said kindly: "The disaster victims have been solved, and you have nothing to lose. It's the best of both worlds."

Everyone's face turned black.

No loss?

The loss is too great!

Taking advantage of the severe drought in Hedong Road, they annexed a lot of land.

But Zhang Dun's mouth touched up and down, but he planned to make them spit out all the fields they ate!

Wouldn't all of their busy work be in vain!

Chen Ran took a deep breath, and said in a decisive tone: "Zhang Shaoyin, this one, I'm sorry."

Zhang Dun suppressed his smile, stared at him, and said, "Excuse me? You took advantage of the drought in the east of the river to grab the benefits of the people and annexed the land. At that time, why didn't you think about it? Excuse me?"

"I'm here to give you an ultimatum, not to discuss with you."

Zhang Dun said lightly: "If you don't agree, I will report to the court and let His Majesty know all the illegal things you have done."

"What do you think His Majesty will do?"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Emperor Li Shimin, who was sitting in the Taiji Palace in Chang'an City, did not listen to them, but only read Zhang Dun's memorial.

If Zhang Dun added fuel to the story in the memorial, they might have to face the consequences of ransacking the house!

"Okay, Zhang Shaoyin!"

Chen Ran's face was uncertain, and he said after a long time: "As long as the victims are willing to pay, we are also willing to let them redeem their fields and houses."

Zhang Dun gave him a deep look, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Chen understands the righteousness, and I will take my leave."

After finishing speaking, he gave Han Xing and Wang Feng a look, and then led them away.

Han Xing and Wang Feng looked at each other, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they didn't fight.

They have already felt it just now, if these gentry continue to be stubborn.

Zhang Shaoyin, I'm afraid he really hit someone!

They could see clearly that Zhang Shaoyin had already held the teacup in his palm, as if he was about to throw it!

In the hall, a needle can be heard.

Everyone's faces were unhappy, and when Zhang Dun led his people away completely, one of the gentry asked, "Old Chen, how can you promise him!"

"We have done so much, isn't it just to expand our fields?"

"Now he wants the victims to take the fields back. Isn't everything we have done in vain?"

Everyone spoke one after another, expressing their unhappiness.

"Don't be impatient!"

Chen Ran waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Think carefully and think about it carefully, is this really that simple?"

"What Zhang Dun said just now is to let the victims spend money to sell their fields to us and buy them back."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Victims, do you have any money?"

Everyone's eyes froze.

I was in a hurry just now, I just thought about Zhang Dun's words, but didn't think of this one.

What Zhang Dun said was indeed beneficial to the victims.

However, the disaster victims couldn't afford the money.

If they can afford money, how could they become disaster victims?

Someone hesitated and asked, "Will the person surnamed Zhang and the General Manager's Mansion pay the victims to redeem their fields?"

"That's even more impossible."

Chen Ran laughed, shook his head and said, "Not to mention other prefectures and counties, there are tens of thousands of victims in Jinyang County alone, not 10,000+."

"Is the money from the General Manager's Mansion enough for so many people? Not to mention there are disaster victims from other places."

Chen Ran put his hands in his sleeves, and the old god smiled and said:

"The disaster victims couldn't afford the money, and the chief manager's office couldn't afford the money. The last thing Zhang Dun proposed, didn't it just go away in the end?"

"Of course, we can't just watch."

He glanced at the steward standing outside the hall, and said in a calm tone, "Steward, you send a few people out, if there is any trouble in the city, report it immediately."

"No." The butler hurriedly cupped his hands.

----

In the Grand Chief's Mansion, in the lobby of the government office, after listening to Zhang Dun's story about his going to the Chen family.

Du Yan and Changsun Wuji looked at him speechlessly.

You make such a big decision, can't you tell us in advance?

Putting this aside, what about His Majesty's dictatorship?

Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Zhang Shaoyin, I heard you right, do you want those disaster victims to spend money to redeem their own fields and houses?"

Zhang Dun nodded and said, "Not bad."

"How is that possible."

Du Yan shook his head for a while, and said, "Where did the disaster victims get the money? Or are you going to ask the chief manager's office to pay?"

Hearing this, Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang said in unison: "The chief executive's mansion has no money!"

Du Yan looked at the two of them, and said: "You see, Director Ma and Lu Changshi know more about the situation in the chief manager's mansion than we do."

Zhang Dun said with a smile: "I didn't say anything, I want the chief manager's office to pay for it."

Seeing everyone staring at him, he explained patiently: "My idea is to let the disaster victims make money by themselves, and then pay their own money to redeem their houses and fields."

"It's also called..."

Zhang Dun thought for a while and said, "Relief with work."

Hearing these four words, Du Yan and Changsun Wuji's eyes lit up, and they knew the meaning instantly.

"good idea!"

Changsun Wuji praised: "It's Zhang Shaoyin after all, his brain is better than others'."

"But the old man still has a puzzle, that is how to use work for relief?"

Zhang Dun raised his chin at Hu Guang who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "It depends on Brother Hu."

Chapter 257 Bamboo is the greatest magic weapon to win

"Ah? Rely on me?"

Hearing this, Hu Guang trembled all over, pointed to his nose, and said in astonishment: "I'm just a businessman, how can I help?"

Zhang Dun said with a smile: "I just want to use you."

"..." Hu Guang was silent for a few seconds, then muttered in a low voice, "Why do I listen, it's so infiltrating."

Du Yan and Changsun Wuji nodded in agreement, not to mention him, they all felt a little intrusive when they heard it.

The two looked at Zhang Dun with strange eyes. How can they use Hu Guang for the victims?The word that makes us understand?

"Can I still hurt you?"

Zhang Dun said dumbfoundedly, then looked at Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang, and said solemnly:

"Boss Ma, Lu Changshi, please spread my words and make sure those victims know."

As he spoke, he called the two of them to him and whispered his plan to them.

"In addition, we need to build a platform."

In the end, Zhang Dun did not forget to add: "This table must be more conspicuous, and it must be in an open area, so that it can accommodate more victims."

"Understood!" Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang nodded heavily, then got up and left quickly.

"Can this work?" Hu Guang asked a little nervously.

Zhang Dun smiled meaningfully and said, "It's all about human effort."

----

"Have you heard that the people from the Chief Manager's Mansion will come to the market in an hour, and they say they want to help the victims of the disaster make money."

"Anything like this?"

"real or fake?"

"Wouldn't we know if it's true or not?"

Under the operation of the General Manager's Office, the news soon spread throughout Jinyang County.

Especially the disaster victims, after hearing about this, they headed towards the market without hesitation.

At the Jinyang County Fair.

A wooden platform has been set up.

Under the wooden platform, thousands of disaster victims crowded together, looking at the empty wooden platform.

Making money, just two words, is full of temptation.

Everyone wants to make money, especially the victims of the disaster, who can only barely survive on the relief food provided by the imperial court.

They want to go back to their previous life, but in their current state, let alone making money, they don't even have a way to make money.

"When will you come?"

"That's right, didn't you say that the people in the chief executive's mansion want to speak on it?"

After waiting for a long time, the wooden platform was still empty, and no one came from the chief executive's mansion.

The victims immediately talked about it.

At this time, Zhang Dun took Hu Guang, Du Yan, Changsun Wuji, Ma Yuangui, Lu Zizang and others, and they had just set off from the General Manager's Mansion.

When he came to the market and saw the crowds on the road, most of them were disaster victims, Zhang Dun nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Hu Guang: "Brother Hu, get ready, we are going to go on stage."

Hu Guang said nervously: "Brother Zhang, do you really want me to go up with you?"

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "It's okay, just go up and stand."

After speaking, under the attention of everyone, he led Hu Guang to the wooden platform.

Du Yan stared at his back and asked, "What do you think Zhang Shaoyin will say to the victims later?"

Changsun Wuji looked at him, "Ask me? Do you know that you asked the wrong person?"

"..."
