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

Lu Zizang frowned and said: "Yes, Zhang Shaoyin, there is only so much money in the chief manager's mansion, and a lot of it has been taken away by Sun Xue and Lu Zitao."

"There are so many victims, if we bring back too many bamboos to exchange for money, we will not be able to bear it."

Zhang Dun shook his head and said: "If you can't bear it, you can last for a while. How long can you last with the money from the Chief Manager's Mansion?"

Lu Changshi thought for a while, spread out a palm and said, "Up to five days!"

It took longer than I estimated!Zhang Dun nodded and said, "Then let's hold on for five days first, and we'll talk about it after five days!"

"..."

Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang looked at Zhang Dun who had already turned around and headed towards the General Manager's Mansion in shock. Five days later, the victims would drown them with saliva?

The two looked at Changsun Wuji and Du Yan who were walking away, Ma Yuangui hurried to catch up and said:

"Du Gong, eldest grandson, can you tell us why Zhang Shaoyin did this?"

"do not know."

Changsun Wuji murmured: "But whatever he wants you to do, do what he tells you, and nothing will happen."

Ma Yuangui said with a mournful face, "I feel that something big might happen."

something big?Changsun Wuji and Du Yan stared at the back of Zhang Dun who was walking in front, but they didn't think so.

If it were someone else, they would also think that this method might lead to big things.

But Zhang Dun is not someone else.

In Chang'an City, he can make such a big commotion and get things done.

It shows that his method is extraordinary.

Although he couldn't see why he did it for a while, but he dared to do it, there must be a reason for him to do it.

Changsun Wuji said indifferently: "Let's see again in five days."

Perhaps, he could really surprise them.

----

"Hahahaha, what an eye-opener."

In the Chen family, in the hall, laughter kept ringing.

A dozen or so gentry couldn't help but sit behind the table, with a playful smile that couldn't be concealed on their faces.

"I heard that this is a work-for-relief idea conceived by the General Manager's Office."

One of the wealthy gentry clicked his tongue and said, "I was surprised what a big move it would be. I didn't expect the victims to cut down and collect bamboo to exchange for money at the chief manager's mansion."

As he said that, he looked at Chen Ran, but found that he was frowning and remained silent, and was stunned for a moment.

More than a dozen gentry were also stunned, and one of the gentry wearing a fur cap suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "Old Chen, do you think there is something wrong with it?"

Chapter 259 Zhang Shaoyin, things are messed up

Chen Ran hummed, looked up at everyone, and said in a deep voice:

"The old man also felt at first that he was messing around."

"But think about it carefully, this Zhang Shaoyin, has he ever messed around since he came to Hedong Road?"

While knocking on the table, he spit out:

"First, he forced Sun Xue and Lu Zitao to escape, and let Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang take over the power of the General Manager's Mansion."

"It also allowed the victims to enter the city, and forced us to borrow food to stabilize the victims, so as to buy time for the General Manager's Office to mobilize food for disaster relief."

"Now, come up with another trick to provide relief with work!"

Chen Ran took a deep breath and said, "I have to doubt it."

Hearing this, more than a dozen wealthy gentry looked serious, and someone whispered: "Old Chen is thinking about it."

Chen Ran narrowed his eyes and continued, "The most important thing is that he asked the victims to collect things."

"What's not good for him to collect? He must collect bamboo?"

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone and asked, "What can bamboo do?"

Among the wealthy gentry, someone said, "It's usually something used by bamboo craftsmen."

All of a sudden, more than a dozen gentry were stunned, and someone hesitated: "So, this Zhang Dun intends to turn all the victims into bamboo craftsmen?"

"That's absolutely impossible."

Another gentry waved his hand without hesitation and said:

"I have a servant in my family who is a bamboo craftsman. The things he makes out of bamboo are very complicated."

"Among the disaster victims, it is considered good to have a few bamboo craftsmen. It is absolutely impossible to say that they all become bamboo craftsmen."

Chen Ran nodded slightly, "Anyway, what Zhang Dun is going to do must have something to do with the bamboo craftsman."

As he said that, he sneered and said, "We need to block him a bit."

The reason why Zhang Dun did this was aimed at them. If he didn't cause him some trouble, he would really make things happen.

In the end, it was them who were unlucky!

Among the wealthy gentry, a middle-aged man suddenly said, "Shall I send someone to set fire to the surrounding bamboo forest?"

Chen Ran glared at him, "Confused!"

"Now so many victims have gone to the bamboo forest. If you set fire to it, how many people will be burned to death?"

"When the time comes, the chief manager's office will investigate and find you and me. Do you want your house ransacked?"

After finishing speaking, he punched the desk heavily with his fingers a few times, and said solemnly:

"Now, you immediately send people to cut bamboo and hire more people. Remember, don't hire disaster victims."

"If the Chief Executive's Mansion wants bamboo, why should it go through the hands of the disaster victims? Let's take care of this matter for him."

"As much bamboo Zhang Dun wants, we will give them as much."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the wealthy gentry again, and said in a deep voice: "Also, send someone to watch over the victims, if any victim has bamboo in their hands, grab it, so that they don't have bamboo to exchange for money!"

The eyes of more than a dozen gentry lit up, and someone couldn't help saying: "Good way!"

Zhang Dun's approach is to provide the victims with an opportunity to make money.

But this opportunity, the Chen family, and the gentry like them must be cut off for him.

After all, if the disaster victims had money, they would be able to use the money to buy back all the fields and houses they had merged.

In terms of emotion and reason, you have to fight against the Chief Executive's Office!

Let the general manager's office be busy for nothing.

That's the result they want to see.

"We'll give orders now."

More than a dozen gentry bowed their hands to Chen Ran solemnly, "Old Chen, just wait for the good news."

"Thank you everyone." Chen Ran bowed his hands solemnly.

----

Soon, because of what Zhang Dun said in the market, the entire Jinyang County was sensationalized.

Not only the disaster victims, but also some people in the city were a little moved when they heard it. Anyway, if they are idle, they are idle. If there is an opportunity to make money, how can they let it go!

Everyone rushed out of the city.

In the bamboo forests, there were few people in the past, but today it is crowded.

At dusk, someone was satisfied, returned home with a bamboo in his arms, and exchanged money at the chief executive's mansion.

But more people are angry.

Angry, almost all disaster victims!

"It's horrible!"

"The bamboo I managed to get was robbed halfway!"

"It turns out I wasn't the only one who was robbed!"

The disaster victims gathered together to discuss.

It's okay not to talk about it, but when talking about it, the eyes of the victims are full of anger.

Those who were robbed were all disaster victims!

Those who snatch bamboo, just stare at the things in the hands of the victims and grab them!

However, although everyone was angry in their hearts, they were helpless.

The severe drought in the past few months has made them victims of starvation.

But those who grab the bamboo are all fat and strong, so they are no match for them.

----

In the chief executive's mansion, Zhang Dun sat behind a few desks, dragging his cheeks, thinking about what to do next.

He looked at the courtyard outside the government office lobby.

In the yard, there are bamboos everywhere.

They have all piled up.

This is because there are too many bamboos and there is no place to put them, so they can only be placed in the chief executive's mansion.

In other places, bamboo is not the most, only more!

"It's far from enough."

Zhang Dun sighed secretly, he needed more.

Suddenly, he felt as if someone was watching him, turned his head to look over, and saw Hu Guang staring at him resentfully.

Zhang Dun couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Hu, why are you staring at me?"

"Brother Zhang, you are not authentic." Hu Guang said in a low tone: "I have not traveled thousands of miles to escort a long-haired lady to Hedong Road, but you are better off just throwing such a big thing at me."

"I just heard that Manager Ma and Lu Changshi said that the money from the Chief Manager's Mansion will not last for a few days."

"You said that after a few days, the chief manager's office will not be able to pay any more money, and the disaster victims dare not scold the government, they will scold me!"

As he said that, Hu Guang felt a little uncomfortable. Didn't he ask him to take the blame.

Zhang Dun laughed and said, "Don't worry, no one will scold you."

With a mournful face, Hu Guang pointed to Du Yan and Changsun Wuji who were sitting beside them smiling and looking over, "Ask them if they believe it?"

Zhang Dun followed the direction of his finger and looked at Changsun Wuji and Du Yan.

The two smiled even wider.

Obviously, they also thought that Zhang Dun had found someone to take the blame.

Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "Brother Hu, you can't act on the face of others when you are doing big things."

As soon as the words fell, Manager Ma's anxious voice suddenly came in.

"Screw it, Zhang Shaoyin, it's a mess!"

Zhang Dun frowned, stood up and watched Manager Ma run in, picked up a glass of water on the table, handed it to him and said, "Manager Ma, drink a glass of water first, and talk slowly, why did things go wrong?"

Ma Yuangui took the water glass, but didn't bother to drink it, and said anxiously: "Didn't you let the victims cut down bamboo today and come to our chief manager's mansion to exchange money?"

"I went out to inquire just now, and none of the disaster victims made any money!"

"The money has been earned by others!"

Hearing this, Zhang Dun's eyes froze, "Is there such a good thing?"

Manager Ma: "???"
