Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Zuo Anmin has left the Southland, and he is going back to Chang'an to return to his command.

The proceeds from the confiscation of Zhu's family were secretly transported away, including the proceeds from the cheap sale of Zhu's property.

In addition, the gold mine on Xiaozhuya Island was settled and excavated by people arranged by the imperial court.

As for the members of the Zhu family, they will be executed on the spot afterwards.

However, the 30 shi of grain obtained by confiscating the Zhu family was left in Nandi after Zuo Anmin asked the emperor for instructions, and was used to solve the problem in Nandi.

The Zhu family's industrial land of thousands of hectares and hundreds of shops were all sold off, and Xie Zhan bought them for half of the price.

The silver used by Xie Zhan is the cash inherited from the Chen family.

Xie Zhan mobilized almost all the cash in the Chen family to buy these properties of the Zhu family.

Now that the Zhu family's property is in his hands, and with the Chen family's original property, the Xie family has now become the largest force in the Southland.

At this time, Xie Zhan was making a final review of his plan.

Previously, he asked Zuo Anmin to order the county guard to seal off the gates of the southern cities in order to prevent the people from Liaodong County from getting away.

Now he promised to let Qin Sheng, Xue Xu and others go, but the gates of the major cities in the southern land cannot be opened casually.

Now there are disaster victims and refugees outside the gates of the major cities in the southern land. Once the gates are opened, they will all flood into the city.

He was ready to start solving the problems of the victims in the Southland, which were actually the problems of basic necessities of life, food and accommodation.

He decided to use the policy of work for relief.

This strategy originated in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, Qi Jinggong refused to release food for disaster relief after the disaster. So Yan Ying, the prime minister, took advantage of Qi Jinggong's desire to build roads and sleepers, hired victims, and deliberately expanded the construction scale to extend the construction period and achieve the purpose of disaster relief.

The situation at that time was very similar to the present situation. Xie Zhan felt that it was useful, so he decided to follow the example of the sages to solve the problem of the victims.

Later, when Lu Songli learned that Xie Zhan had used this method, she also praised Xie Zhan for his cleverness.The earliest records of the idea of ​​work-for-relief began in the Spring and Autumn Period, and then rose in the Song Dynasty. At that time, not only government organizations but also civil officials and gentry participated.Xie Zhan can use what he has learned at this time, which is very powerful.

Xie Zhan counted the grain in his hands. In addition to the 30 shi of grain left by the emperor, he planned to take out the 20 shi of the Chen family's stored grain, and then find a rich family to make some connections.

Moreover, the grain supply in the Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers is about to come down. As long as he allows the victims to survive this period of time, he can basically complete the military order he issued to the emperor.

As soon as he thought about it, Xie Zhan went to the Nandi County Sheriff's Mansion, and told the Sheriff about the idea of ​​using work for relief.

The sheriff has already obtained an order from Zuo Anmin, the imperial envoy, saying that Xie Zhan got the emperor's special permission to deal with the Nandi issue, and asked him to cooperate fully.

The governor of the county got a trick, and immediately prepared to post a red list outside the city gate to call the common people to work.

Xie Zhan returned to Xie's mansion from the county guard's mansion, and his subordinates came down to report to him what the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's Shusi had done.

After Xie Zhan released Qin Sheng, Xue Xu and others, although he let the officers and soldiers surrounding Ji's Mansion and Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's bookstore withdraw, he felt that he must not let his guard down on them, so he kept people watching them.

After learning about the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's approach, Xie Zhan knew at a glance what their intentions were.

His reaction was not slow, and he immediately went to the Lu residence himself.

Mr. Lu is not in good health, and has been bedridden recently.

Xie Zhan personally came to visit Mr. Lu in his yard.

Lu Fei, as the current head of the Lu family, naturally wants to accompany the distinguished guests.

The three of them discussed for a long time in the side hall of Mr. Lu's courtyard about what the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce did.

After Xie Zhan left, old man Lu was both happy and worried. What he was happy about was that Xie Zhan, a young man, was too powerful.

Looking at the eldest granddaughter standing aside, old man Lu could only sigh deeply.

In response to the insinuating remarks made by Liaodong Chamber of Commerce Shusi before leaving, Lu quickly responded.

The Lu family booked the largest restaurant in the south, and sent invitations to all the scholars who had spent money in the Lu's bookstore, inviting them to have a gathering.

Almost all the people who received the invitation had time to go out, and everyone was curious about what Lu wanted to say.

Lu Yuanheng, the old patriarch of the Lu family, showed up at the restaurant with the new patriarch Lu Fei, and sincerely said to everyone, "Thank you for your continued support for the Lu family's bookstore to be able to have what it is today."

The scholars in the audience talked a lot.

"Listen to this."

"Your Lu family also knows?"

Mr. Lu continued, "I invite everyone here this time because I want to have a chat with you guys. I know that for some reason recently, everyone has a lot of opinions on Lu's bookstore, and even thought of leaving the Southland because of this. Everyone We have seen and heard the demands of

The scholars were quiet, mainly because Mr. Lu looked like he was dying, standing there, and what he said was sincere, which made them feel embarrassed to say anything harsh.

"The Lu family did not do well in the past, and we have been working hard to improve it. Lu Fei—" Mr. Lu waved at her.

Lu Fei stepped forward and stood beside him.

Mr. Lu continued, "This is the new head of our Lu family. Books, paper, and the four treasures of the study are too expensive. We will try our best to reduce costs so that everyone can buy cheap and beautiful things. Please give us a chance and supervise us."

After Mr. Lu finished speaking, he bowed to them.But because of my poor health, my legs shook badly.

The scholars couldn't bear it.

"Master Lu, you should sit down."

"Miss Lu, help your grandfather sit down."

Lu Fei stepped forward to help, but was rejected by Mr. Lu.But although Mr. Lu refused to sit down, he slowly straightened up.

"This old man agrees with Mr. Zhang Zai's words very much. Scholars should establish their hearts for the world, establish their lives for the living and the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and bring peace to all generations."

"Nandi is our root, and the people here are our fellow countrymen. Nandi has just experienced a natural disaster, and it is in a precarious time. It is also the most difficult and difficult time. You can't leave it. Otherwise, our Lu family will die. blame."

After Mr. Lu said these words, he finally left with Lu Fei's support.

Seeing his appearance, the scholars were heartbroken.

Mr. Lu fell ill after returning home.

This strategy of the Lu family is still very shocking to scholars, it is sincere enough and full of sincerity.

The Lu family, ranked second among the six great families, bowed their heads.

Look, even the head of the Lu family has changed, isn't sincerity enough?

Little did they know, the Lu family was using waste.

But the effect was very good, and many scholars gave up the idea of ​​leaving the Southland.They want to do something for their hometown, not to mention their parents are here, so they don't travel far.

At this time, the government posted a list stating that the victims of the disaster could use their work as relief in exchange for rations, and recruited scholars to assist the government to do some work of registering and reassuring the people.

Many scholars have gone to sign up.
