I'm doing infrastructure around the tyrant [system]
Chapter 41 The Unlucky Wang Zhan
70. Wang Zhan's Routine
After Wang Zhan went back, he carefully memorized the method told by 'Master Mask', and simulated the scene several times in his mind. After feeling confident, he chose a time when Zou Wenliang was there, and went to Zou's house again.
As usual, Zou Wenliang didn't wait to see his brother-in-law visit.
In fact, it would be impossible to say that the two families had any deep hatred. The reason why Zou Wenliang didn't want to see Wang Zhan was also very simple, that is, he thought the Wang family was an explosive small business.
When Zou Wenliang married Mrs. Wang, it was because Mrs. Wang was beautiful, weak and obedient, and he couldn't marry a lady from a higher family.
However, because he looks down on the Wang family from the bottom of his heart, and Wang Zhan is not a particularly smart person, the Wang family's business is difficult to thrive and has little use value.
So after marrying Mrs. Wang, Zou Wenliang will not be a bird of the Wang family, let alone allow the Wang family to act outside in his name and cause trouble for him.
As a result, the relationship between the Wang family and the Zou family, which was not worth the loss, became rigid. Over the years, the two have hated each other, and they never communicate with each other for any important things, and they don't get together for dinner even during the holidays.
Regarding Wang Zhan's arrival today, Zou Wenliang instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"Tell me, did something important happen at home and begged me?"
Zou Wenliang's face was full of impatience. He felt that Wang Zhan's visit must have been forced by a major family incident, otherwise Wang Zhan's temper would definitely not be willing to come to see him.
This attitude really made Wang Zhan very upset.
The Zou family is not considered a big family, but because Zou Wenliang works in the government office and has power, he looks down on people everywhere.This time something really happened, but it wasn't them, but the Zou family themselves. Fortunately, Zou Wenliang didn't know about his imminent death.
"Brother-in-law, we are in-laws after all. When I come to the door, there must be something bad at home. There is no good thing? I know you look down on our Wang family's small merchants, but my Wang family also has integrity. I marry my sister to you as a relative, not a business." goods……"
Wang Zhan's expression was also very nonchalant. After all, he is also a businessman, so he can't show timidity from the beginning, he must take up the momentum.
Mrs. Wang Nuonuo sat next to her and dared not interrupt. On the one hand, her husband was in charge of the sky, and on the other hand, her eldest brother was like a father. It was not good to speak for either side.
Zou Wenliang smiled disdainfully, "If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, then what are you saying, why did you suddenly want to come and see me today?"
You need to be beaten, this expression of needing to be beaten every time, makes you feel majestic now, and makes you feel better when you come to beg for help another day.
Wang Zhan's teeth were itchy in his heart, but he had to swallow his anger and continue,
"Yingying told me that you got a windfall the year before last and still dare not use it?"
"Bang", Zou Wenliang immediately stood up, his face turned blue and looked at his wife, this stupid bitch who eats everything!
"My husband, I, I didn't do it on purpose. Aren't those gold and silver jewels always useless? My brother is the smartest, and I am the only one who wants my brother to help us find a way..."
Mrs. Wang flinched from her husband's stare, and explained tremblingly.
Before coming here, Wang Zhan had ventilated with her well. His sister has a cowardly temper.
Zou Wenliang was even angrier when he heard that, can he just say his own money outside?What's more, there is still a problem with the origin of the sum. Let others find a way to help deal with it, isn't it a gift from a thousand miles away?
Seeing his expression, Wang Zhan felt much more relaxed.
"Okay, brother-in-law, my sister is also thinking about you. If you don't want to use such a large amount of gold and silver for a legitimate reason, it will be bad if you keep it in your hands. I came today to help you think of a way to get the best of both worlds. Just listen to me. "
"Are you helping me find a way? You also want to get a share!" Zou Wenliang's face was extremely ugly, and his brother-in-law was clearly taking the opportunity to blackmail others.
"Whatever you think, just say whether you want to get rid of this gold and silver as soon as possible..."
Wang Zhan didn't want to quarrel with him, he came here today for business.
Of course Zou Wenliang thought, even in his dreams, he wanted to get rid of the things in his hands quickly. When the matter was revealed, he would still have to deny it.
Moreover, Tang Yu has been eyeing them recently, and everyone can't think of a countermeasure for the time being. He is very anxious, and always feels that things will not be hidden for long.
To put it in a pessimistic way, he wanted to pack up his things and run away.But this is the last resort. People leave their hometowns and are cheap. If they are not forced to run away, they must not do it.
Since the gold and silver have been known by the uncle, it is useless to be angry.
Zou Wenliang weighed the importance and held back his temper, "Okay, I'll talk about other issues later. Then tell me how you can help me deal with the gold and silver. Let me tell you, this gold and silver is not easy to deal with..."
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I found an opportunity this time, and I can handle things that are difficult to handle for you. Isn't the Yamen doing some kind of bidding recently? Although I can't be selected, I have a good candidate. At that time, I cooperated with him, exchanged the money into food, mixed it in, and sold it to the yamen, and after such a turnaround, wouldn’t the source of gold and silver money be justified?”
"But to be on the safe side, you have to tell me how you got this money? Whose hands did you pass through? If it wasn't for my business going wrong this time, I wouldn't take the risk of touching your dirty things."
Wang Zhan showed a cautious expression, and said without any trace.
But Zou Wenliang narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, "Do you really want to listen?"
"Naturally, you have to be careful in everything, otherwise, if I run into the owner's hands, it will be difficult to deal with. Why, your money... can't be said?"
Wang Zhan's face was full of vigilance, "If you can't tell me, you can tell me a little bit, and tell me who to avoid."
Zou Wenliang didn't speak for a while, staring at Wang Zhan thoughtfully.
After a long time, the other party continued,
"It's really hard to say. This thing involves a lot. If you know too much, it's not a good thing. After all, we are also related by marriage. You are Yingying's only brother. I don't want to see you and I can't hurt you..."
These words are really high-sounding and hypocritical. If Zou Wenliang really takes the Wang family into consideration, unless the sun comes out from the west.
But Wang Zhan saw it through and didn't say it, and agreed, "Who says it's not, anyway, we are also brother-in-law, and it's better than others, otherwise I won't get in trouble with you no matter how hard it is."
Zou Wenliang nodded,
"However, since you also know about this item, I can't say anything else, but it's okay to leave it to you. The method you mentioned is very feasible. The amount of food and cloth purchased by the government this time is huge, and it is unknown to mix this gold and silver into it. Before you know it, it’s a good strategy.”
"Brother-in-law, you also think it's a good idea."
Wang Zhan smiled wryly.
Zou Wenliang scoffed at the idiot in his heart, showed a complimenting smile, and continued,
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to have such a plan, brother-in-law. I was wrong before. Then I will leave this matter to you. As long as you don't deal with it in Licheng City, it will be fine. But What I let Yingying hide is only a part, and some are in other places, I need time to get them, you wait for two days, and I will share [-]% with you afterwards, how about it?"
"Hey, this is still a small part... Brother-in-law, you are really good. No problem, let me know when you are here, and I will contact the grain merchant and cloth merchant outside."
Wang Zhan expressed surprise and admiration, and nodded in agreement.
Zou Wenliang smiled, thinking about it.
days thereafter.
According to the plan, Wang Zhan pretended to contact friends and merchants outside, as if preparing to do something.
After Zou Wenliang came down, he checked that the situation of Wang's shop was not very good recently. He urgently needed money and business transactions to save the turnover. Seeing that Wang Zhan had indeed gone outside to contact the grain merchants and cloth merchants, his doubts were dispelled. Suspect.
Afterwards, Zou Wenliang immediately contacted Ding Chang and the others to discuss the escape method he had come up with.
"You said to push your brother-in-law out as a scapegoat?"
Everyone stared at Zou Wenliang in admiration. This guy is really ruthless. After all, he is a relative.
Zou Wenliang also had no other choice, he didn't want to die.
"Now Tang Yu has his eyes on us. We attacked him like that at the auction. If he doesn't scratch us and we don't explain to him, this matter cannot be resolved. It is impossible to get away completely, but we can save our lives. .”
"If you want to blame it, blame my brother-in-law for being unlucky... Let's plant all the gold and silver in our hands on Wang Zhan, and then find someone to 'tell' Tang Yu the 'truth' about the failure of their Tang family's property, and push everything to the end. On Wang Zhan, we are just pawns who take some bribes and bribes. When Tang Yu's anger is spilled on Wang Zhan, we will be punished at most, and the worst thing is to lose our errands, which is better than losing our lives."
So many people feel that there is some truth, but can things go smoothly?
"But can Tang Yu believe it?"
"Why don't you believe it? Wang Zhan and Tang Yundong's business dealings are 'enemies'. He was jealous and resentful and asked someone to rob and kill him, and then bribed us to seek the Tang family's property. Afterwards, he was afraid that the son of the enemy would retaliate, so he plotted in every possible way. We were caught by him and were afraid. Lost the errand, had to accept the threat of the other party to do the job...'Facts' are so, there is nothing unbelievable."
Zou Wenliang looked ruthless.
Everyone rolled their eyes to think about the feasibility.
After a while, Ding Chang was the first to second, "I think Brother Zou's plan is feasible. Whether Tang Yundong's death was accidental or man-made, it's just a matter of talking. We don't have much time, everyone, don't forget, if Mr. Cai gets involved... …We are not alone in our deaths.”
"..."
Hearing this, everyone felt chills running down their backs and sweating on their hands.
If so, then he can only feel sorry for Wang Zhan.
*********
71. Unlucky Wang Zhan
A few days later, Zou Wenliang found Wang Zhan again, brought him several carts of gold, silver and jewelry, and showed extreme trust in Wang Zhan.
Wang Zhan muttered in his heart, but on the face he accepted the things cooperatively. Both of them were smiling, and MMP in their hearts.
After getting the gold and silver, Wang Zhan told "Master Mask" about the gold and silver while pretending to contact friends outside to buy food and cloth.
And Zou Wenliang and his group were not idle, they bought the former servants of the Tang family to "inform" Tang Yu...
Tang Yu was surprised to hear the whistleblower, but he didn't panic.
After all, he is not the real "Tang Yu", and he has no father-son affection for the dead Tang father, and reason is greater than emotion.
"You said... my father was murdered? Then why didn't you say it before?"
Tang Yu stared at the informant servant. This servant was still vivid in the memory of the original owner. He was one of the few attendants who came back alive when Father Tang met the bandits.
In terms of relationship, the credibility is relatively high, but the sudden whistleblower has to be pondered.
"Young master, I am guilty. I didn't say it before, because there are too many people involved in this matter, the villain's status is low, and the Tang family has no background. I am afraid that the young master will be impulsive, and he will be murdered... Now the young master enters With such a promising future in the Yamen, the slave dares to tell the truth."
The servant burst into tears, "Master's death was not an accident, it was a vendetta. It was the merchant Wang who killed the master. The merchant offended many people in business during his lifetime. The merchant Wang hated the master, so he did it so viciously."
"Businessman Wang?"
"Yes, businessman Wang's real name is Wang Zhan. After he bought bandits to kill the master, he conspired with his brother-in-law and several yamen staff to design the fourth master. The fourth master's business is not as stable as the master's, and the family business left by the master was deceived. ..."
"Later, the businessman Wang saw that the young master was promising, and he was afraid that the young master would find out the truth and take revenge, so he threatened those aides to frame the young master repeatedly, young master, the master died so badly."
The servant was crying sadly, and he looked like a loyal servant.
But Tang Yu felt strange, "You are just a servant, where did you get this news?"
As if he had known that he would ask something, the servant took out a piece of white cloth with crooked writing on it from his sleeve, and continued to cry.
"Master, although I am just a lowly slave, the master treated us very generously during his lifetime. When the master was killed, I hid in the grass and heard the bandit say with my own ears, 'Go back and ask for more gold and silver from Merchant Wang'. Slave I had doubts in my heart, and I didn't dare to publicize this matter, so I buried it in my heart and investigated it in private..."
"Fortunately, God opened my eyes. After I returned to the city, I met those bandits going to their daughters. I didn't blame them, and finally found out the truth. I was extremely servile, but at that time the Tang family was defeated, and the young master couldn't support the family. I don't dare to be reckless, I dare to speak up until now."
"On this piece of white cloth is the time record every time the lowly slave sees the bandits coming to the city to enter the female house. If the young master has any doubts, just go to the female house and check the time with the madam."
All kinds of logical explanations are very reasonable, and the connection really makes sense.
But Tang Yu didn't believe it, because the timing was too coincidental, he took Wang Zhan to investigate Zou Wenliang, and later someone came to inform him that Wang Zhan had killed his "father", which was too coincidental.
What did the bandit who robbed at the beginning said, except that the servant could not prove the truth; and it is not difficult to falsify the stay time recorded by Baibu, as the daughter-in-law has the account book, she can copy it in advance.
What is even more doubtful is that this lowly slave is too capable to find out the truth on his own. How can the subordinates sent by Yin Tyrant live?
Is this little servant stronger than the professional secret guards trained by the tyrant?If it is, then it is really a talent; if not, it will be more interesting...
"I see. There are many people involved in this matter. I have to think about it carefully. You can go back. I'll find you again if I need anything."
Tang Yu suppressed his doubts and accepted the white cloth with handwriting.
"The slave will leave first. If the young master has a summons, he can send someone to Mr. Zhang's house. This slave is now working at the merchant's house. Take care, young master."
The servant nodded loyally and went back to wait for the news.
After waiting for the person to leave, Tang Yu immediately went to the Li Palace to find Yin Yu, and told him the news for the tyrant to listen to.
When it comes to the conspiracy theory of fighting for power and profit, the tyrant is much more advanced than him.
Now that he had a reasonable excuse to cover up, he went to Prince Li's mansion without making a fuss, and everyone only thought he was going to 'serve' King Li and gave them sympathetic looks.
But in the end whether to serve one or the other, only the parties themselves know.
After carefully telling Yin Yu about the events of these days, Tang Yu also shared his own analysis. In order to stabilize the position of his confidant, besides being loyal, he must show his ability all the time.
"Master, I think all of this is too coincidental. I have tried Wang Zhan. He is as timid as a mouse and not thoughtful enough. He is a mediocre person. He will never be able to plan such a big situation... Besides, if he really kills Returning my father and scheming against me, how could you come to me on your own initiative?"
The most important thing is that he gave a psychological hint. If Wang Zhan is really the person behind the scenes, the psychological hint should be to fear him. How could he be afraid of being implicated by Zou Wenliang.
"So this servant must be lying, and someone else is teaching him. Wang Zhan is just a scapegoat."
"The ones who teach the servants to lie are none other than Ding Chang. Whether my father died accidentally or was murdered is not sure, but we can be sure that they are the ones who lost the property of our Tang family..."
"But master, Yu really can't figure out why Ding Chang and others took so much trouble to deal with me? Is it just for the sake of my family's gold and silver? If Da Ke just pack up his things and run away now, why bother to hand them over again? Come out, I also believe that Wang Zhan is the mastermind, but I still can't make them feel better."
This is what Tang Yu couldn't figure out. Even if Ding Chang and the others handed over the property and asked Wang Zhan to take the blame, they would still be punished in the end. Why did they do this.
Yin Yu pondered in silence, pondered for a while,
"If you can give up your money, you will save your life. There seems to be someone behind these people, and once this person is exposed, I am afraid that not only will Ding Chang and the others die, but the family will also be in danger, so they will do whatever it takes. Abandon the car and save the handsome."
"But what does it have to do with me? Why do they want to hold on to Yu? Our Tang family is just a very ordinary merchant's family, and my father rarely makes friends with officials, gentry, and business. , if my Tang family has someone in the government, with my father's ability, the Tang family would have already occupied a place in Licheng."
Tang Yu nodded, but still had doubts.
Yin Yu also couldn't guess this point, but if you want to know the truth, you can't rely on guessing alone, and even the most meticulous people will show their feet sometimes.
"Since they are throwing stones to ask for directions, then we will use our tactics to lure snakes out of their holes. Wang Zhan is a good pawn..."
Tang Yu thought for a while, and smiled tacitly, "Master, I know what to do."
Yin Yu smiled and rubbed the top of the boy's hair.
……
After Tang Yu went back, he asked someone to bring Wang Zhan to him that night, and told him about Zou Wenliang's plan to make him a scapegoat.
Wang Zhan almost died of anger at that time.
This Zou Wenliang is too insignificant. If he hadn't taken the first step to join the court's "Supervision Department" and seized the opportunity, Zou Wenliang would really have made such a mess, and all his Wang family would have to go to see Lord Hades, which is simply abominable.
"My lord, you can't believe what Zou Wenliang said. I had business dealings with Tang Yundong before, but it was just a normal communication. Tang Yundong is a good businessman, and he is generous. How could I commit murder and steal money out of jealousy?" Things, besides, I don't have the guts!"
Wang Zhan was angry and hurried to explain.
"Don't worry, we naturally believe in you, otherwise we wouldn't tell you the news."
Tang Yu nodded, "But Tang Yu doesn't necessarily believe that you are innocent. Zou Wenliang and the others stuffed all the gold, silver and jewels of the Tang family into your hands, and the servant who went to inform Tang Yu was the witness of Tang Yundong's death. Those who have been framed by physical evidence and corrected by witnesses, you can't argue with this matter now."
"Then, what should I do? My lord, I am innocent. I really didn't do it. That servant must have been bribed! My lord, please help me..."
Wang Zhan was so frightened that he cried, how could he be so unlucky.
"Don't worry, the responsibility of our Supervision Department is to deal with all kinds of corrupt officials. We will never wrong good people. We will definitely help you. But this matter cannot be done clearly for the time being, so you and your family need to be wronged. "
Tang Yu continued to fool around in a serious manner.
Wang Zhan had no master, he just wanted to survive, "My lord, please tell me, as long as I can save my life, I will eat any poor people."
"Pretend you don't know anything first, let Tang Yu vent your anger on you, and be the scapegoat and go to the prison. We will secretly send someone to protect you and your family. We will take action after Zou Wenliang and the others relax. Pull out their pigtails and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. It is safer for you to be in the cell, lest Zou Wenliang and the others will attack you again and kill you, pretending that you committed suicide in fear of crime without evidence."
"This this……"
Wang Zhan was a little scared, the cell can kill people, if the "Master Mask" faction doesn't work hard, their whole family will be more dead.
Tang Yu saw his thoughts, and continued to coax him,
"It's faster to die outside, there are many variables outside, and I don't have so many manpower to protect your family. And now that Tang Yu knows the 'truth' and believes in Zou Wenliang's evil, do you think he will let you continue to live freely?"
"Now that things have come to this point, it's your way of life. Only if you become a scapegoat, Zou Wenliang and the others will relax their vigilance and show their feet. Whether you will suffer a little or lose your life, you have to think about it yourself. I have no choice but to do this. Zou Wenliang was a little too cruel to you, you are his brother-in-law anyway, and you don't have any deep hatred..."
That's right, Zou Wenliang, a black-hearted bastard.
"My lord, I listen to you. You must punish Zou Wenliang and those people, and return the villain's innocence. The villain kowtows to you."
Wang Zhan gritted his teeth and had no choice.I hate Zou Wenliang so much, what a disaster he did!
***********
72. Clues and Traces, Master Cai
The plan proposed by Zou Wenliang was 'smooth'.
Within a few days, Tang Yu, who became 'angry' and lost his mind, started attacking Wang Zhan, ransacked Wang's house with random excuses, and sent Wang Zhan's family to the cell.
And asked Li Wang to put pressure on Wei Bingjun and drive Ding Chang and others out of the Yamen.
Such resolute measures made the people in the yamen tremble, and they felt a little more afraid of Tang Yu in their hearts. It seemed that Tang Shizi was really stimulated too much, and his temper became more and more extreme.
As a result, when Ding Chang and the others packed up their things and got out of the Yamen, their expressions were not good, but they were relieved in their hearts.
The way to cover up a big event is to create a bigger one. Their move went smoothly, and Tang Yu's anger was mostly transferred to Wang Zhan, the scapegoat.
After returning, Ding Chang and the others began to thank the guests behind closed doors, staying at home all day without seeing anyone, and they were very cautious when they planned to wait for the limelight to pass.
And Tang Yu was not in a hurry, Yin Yu sent people to watch over him, and he continued to do yamen business as usual.
Recently, the temperature in Licheng has begun to cool down, and the heavy snow is coming soon. The problem of winter for the people is imminent and cannot be delayed any longer.
After identifying a few more reliable and honest grain merchants and cloth merchants, Tang Yu exchanged all the charitable funds for grain and cloth, and then immediately notified each village that the number of villagers was being counted to come to the yamen to receive supplies.
In order to avoid corruption and bad things with unscrupulous intentions, each Lizheng was accompanied by an official when returning, and did not return to the official until all the supplies were distributed to each villager.
Of course, bribery is inevitable during this period, but all officials are strictly instructed, and people will be sent to make unannounced visits and inspections for material matters. Once someone is found to be cheating, they will be severely punished!
Wei Bingjun was very satisfied with Tang Yu's use of severe torture. There are no rules, so it's fine for others to turn a blind eye on weekdays. At this moment, the matter of winter can't be neglected at all, it must be done like this.
Wei Bingjun had never expressed his opinion on what Tang Yu had discussed with him before.
Tang Yu knew that the other party was still hesitating, and was afraid that if he made a wrong move, he would lose everything. Wei Bingjun had come to this day by being cautious. He still had his family behind him, and the lover he wanted to protect, so he had to choose carefully.
There is no rush on this matter, even if Wei Bingjun didn't think about it in the end, he and the tyrant master still plan to push each other to the top.
Because Wei Bingjun was born from a poor family, he has no influence behind him, his conduct is fair, his ability is also good, and he has more common people in his heart. He will be the best "power holder" in Licheng in the future.
Otherwise, if someone else takes over, Licheng will always be in a struggle for power, unable to realize the plan of developing infrastructure and saving strength...
anyway.
When distributing supplies, Tang Yu also tried his best to promote Wei Bingjun and the gentry who participated in the charity fundraising this time.
Taking other people's money, this reputation will naturally be given to others. The common people shouted their gratitude, and everyone was very happy, especially those Weng Gong celebrities who donated calligraphy and paintings, they were so happy, they valued reputation the most.
Feeling the benefits of publicity, everyone paid more attention to newspapers and periodicals.
In the past, the articles published in newspapers and periodicals were all begged by Lu Chongshan with a shy face, but now those celebrities Weng Gong began to submit articles on their own initiative. As soon as there were too many articles, they had to choose. Lu Chongshan's status among those celebrities Weng Gong suddenly It has improved a lot.
"Uncle Lu, now that the seven kingdoms are at the same level, it's boring to serve only one country; more wars are raging, and what are we among the world's scholars? Why don't we find another way..."
There are many aides and military advisers in the world, and there are not many talented people. The chance of being the only "Zhuge Liang" is really slim.
Instead of waiting for Bole who doesn't know when to appear, it's better to go head-on.
"Nephew Tang, Lu is narrow-minded."
Lu Chongshan nodded in agreement, looking at the small plaque of 'Publishing House', a strong sense of pride rose in his heart.
The newspaper is hosted by Lu Chongshan and written by Jiang Hanyi. All Tang Yu needs to do is to grasp the source of the news, the 'News Department'.
In the short term, the status of the newspapers has not been stabilized, and it is not enough to rely solely on the support of the Yamen, so they dare not release too secret information in the newspapers, so as not to touch the interests of any gentry.
But the main function of newspapers is to publish 'news' in newspapers, not articles specially for those celebrities and Weng Gong.
So after Tang Yu thought about it carefully, besides the yamen, he also posted a notice to the public, how can the news industry lose the role of "paparazzi"?
These people don't have a fixed salary, and a piece of employment news is rewarded according to the importance, at least 20 copper baht.
For the low-income people, this is simply money for nothing. Anyway, everyone listens to the news and gossip on weekdays. Now that they can use it to pay back the money, everyone is very happy.
If you can't provoke the gentry, then the news content of the newspaper can only focus on folk stories and women. For the time being, take these things to stabilize, and when the background and scale of the newspaper are stable in the future, it will be the time for the writing...
Of course, newspapers and periodicals are important literary and ink things, and it is impossible for Tang Yu to mess around and make a scandal.
Folk anecdotes published in newspapers should be accurately described as "miraculous events", such as which village has a miracle, which town has a big man visit, which common people have seen incredible strange things, and so on.
These twists and turns written by Jiang Hanyi's writing style greatly satisfy the spiritual entertainment of the ancients who rarely have entertainment in this world.
As for the women, it is natural to write about the elegant scenes of Licheng noblewomen fighting with words and flower arranging at a party.
Today I will talk about how talented Mrs. xx's wife is; tomorrow I will praise the virtues of Mrs. xx's nobles; , so that the men of the gentry clan are extremely honorable, so when they read the newspaper, they not only like the articles on it, but also pay attention to various news.
As a result, the noble ladies in the city have been unwilling to stay at home to embroider since then, and they just ran out and walked around to express themselves when they had nothing to do. Even the gentle and charming words can make people happy.
For a while, the sales of newspapers and periodicals soared, because noble men bought them, and the ladies and ladies in the backyard also liked to read them.
But because there is no paper and no printing technology, it can only be copied manually, which is time-consuming and laborious.After all, newspapers and periodicals cannot be distributed in large quantities, and there is no way for everyone to have one copy as in modern times. There is still a long way to go for newspapers and periodicals.
"Hey, it's a pity that papermaking and printing can't be used for the time being, otherwise it would be much easier to make newspapers..."
Tang Yu felt a little regretful.
Before Li City was completely in the hands of the tyrant, he was a beggar guarding the golden mountain. The system had a lot of golden fingers, but he didn't dare to take them out easily.The only thing he can show right now is the recipe for Chao Lailou.
However, Duke Qu has already fallen into the trap of the tyrant master, and it won't be too long. As long as Yin Yu completely controls Licheng, it will be his opportunity to play a huge role, and the infrastructure construction tasks will be carried out in full swing.
The most worth mentioning now are Ding Chang and the others. It was a bit unexpected. This group of people just stayed at home behind closed doors for two full months before they made any movement.
Fortunately, Yin Yu did not hesitate to increase his manpower and kept watch day and night. Only then did he realize that one day Ding Chang and the others disguised themselves and went out in the middle of the night.
"It seems that Mr. Cai is the next breakthrough."
"However, this Mr. Cai seems to be Qu Gong's confidant and is very popular. Could it be that Qu Gong is behind it? But it doesn't make sense. Why is Qu Gong going so hard to compete with me? Could it be... this is not a dish Impossible, but Mission: Impossible again? We are the oriole at the back, and Mr. Qu is the hunter at the top?"
Tang Yu was horrified and somewhat unbelievable, how could this song master play so well?
Yin Yu shook his head, "Mr. Qu of Licheng doesn't have this kind of ability. If he wants to have this kind of city, he would have returned to the Qu family a long time ago. Why should he stay at this age."
"In that case, Master, there is something wrong with Mr. Cai. It seems that Li City is not completely in the hands of Duke Qu..."
Tang Yu's eyes were bright, with an expression of wanting to do 'bad things'.
Yin Yu smiled unconsciously, and waved Ah Jiu and Ah Shi to step back, enjoying the alone time with the boy.
"It's not easy to check the people in Ding Chang because the target is too small. Master Cai is easy to deal with. But it's approaching the end of the year, and these things are not in a hurry. Such a bad day is bad luck. Yesterday Wangcheng sent an imperial chef. This king eats together..."
Tang Yu was taken aback, "The royal chef from Wangcheng?", isn't that the person in the palace.
"I'm here to 'caring' about my king's life, and my cooking skills are not bad."
Yin Yu looked indifferent.
Tang Yu understood that the tyrant master was alive, not only the heart of the Qu family was thorny, but Wang Cheng was also worried after all.
Sighing in his heart, he half-kneeled in front of Yin Yu, reached out and slowly massaged the man's legs, smiling,
"Master, since he is the royal chef in the royal palace, his cooking skills must be exquisite, and Yu has a good taste. Yu is greedy, can the master stay in the mansion for the New Year, so that Yu can eat a few more royal meals? It is a reward for doing things for the master. Credit?"
Tang Yu is optimistic by nature, and every time he smiles, it doesn't seem clear and shallow, but the corners of his mouth are curved, revealing the brilliance of white teeth.
Such a smile is very contagious, like the warm sun in spring makes people feel warm.
In the young man's focused eyes, it seems that as long as he can win the nod of his master, it is an unparalleled satisfaction, and he will make people let go of their vigilance wholeheartedly.
"Yu would like to spend the New Year with this king, this king is very happy."
Yin Yu stretched out his hand to hold half of his face, the years of frost on his handsome face could always disappear in front of the young man, replaced by a smile.
After Wang Zhan went back, he carefully memorized the method told by 'Master Mask', and simulated the scene several times in his mind. After feeling confident, he chose a time when Zou Wenliang was there, and went to Zou's house again.
As usual, Zou Wenliang didn't wait to see his brother-in-law visit.
In fact, it would be impossible to say that the two families had any deep hatred. The reason why Zou Wenliang didn't want to see Wang Zhan was also very simple, that is, he thought the Wang family was an explosive small business.
When Zou Wenliang married Mrs. Wang, it was because Mrs. Wang was beautiful, weak and obedient, and he couldn't marry a lady from a higher family.
However, because he looks down on the Wang family from the bottom of his heart, and Wang Zhan is not a particularly smart person, the Wang family's business is difficult to thrive and has little use value.
So after marrying Mrs. Wang, Zou Wenliang will not be a bird of the Wang family, let alone allow the Wang family to act outside in his name and cause trouble for him.
As a result, the relationship between the Wang family and the Zou family, which was not worth the loss, became rigid. Over the years, the two have hated each other, and they never communicate with each other for any important things, and they don't get together for dinner even during the holidays.
Regarding Wang Zhan's arrival today, Zou Wenliang instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"Tell me, did something important happen at home and begged me?"
Zou Wenliang's face was full of impatience. He felt that Wang Zhan's visit must have been forced by a major family incident, otherwise Wang Zhan's temper would definitely not be willing to come to see him.
This attitude really made Wang Zhan very upset.
The Zou family is not considered a big family, but because Zou Wenliang works in the government office and has power, he looks down on people everywhere.This time something really happened, but it wasn't them, but the Zou family themselves. Fortunately, Zou Wenliang didn't know about his imminent death.
"Brother-in-law, we are in-laws after all. When I come to the door, there must be something bad at home. There is no good thing? I know you look down on our Wang family's small merchants, but my Wang family also has integrity. I marry my sister to you as a relative, not a business." goods……"
Wang Zhan's expression was also very nonchalant. After all, he is also a businessman, so he can't show timidity from the beginning, he must take up the momentum.
Mrs. Wang Nuonuo sat next to her and dared not interrupt. On the one hand, her husband was in charge of the sky, and on the other hand, her eldest brother was like a father. It was not good to speak for either side.
Zou Wenliang smiled disdainfully, "If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, then what are you saying, why did you suddenly want to come and see me today?"
You need to be beaten, this expression of needing to be beaten every time, makes you feel majestic now, and makes you feel better when you come to beg for help another day.
Wang Zhan's teeth were itchy in his heart, but he had to swallow his anger and continue,
"Yingying told me that you got a windfall the year before last and still dare not use it?"
"Bang", Zou Wenliang immediately stood up, his face turned blue and looked at his wife, this stupid bitch who eats everything!
"My husband, I, I didn't do it on purpose. Aren't those gold and silver jewels always useless? My brother is the smartest, and I am the only one who wants my brother to help us find a way..."
Mrs. Wang flinched from her husband's stare, and explained tremblingly.
Before coming here, Wang Zhan had ventilated with her well. His sister has a cowardly temper.
Zou Wenliang was even angrier when he heard that, can he just say his own money outside?What's more, there is still a problem with the origin of the sum. Let others find a way to help deal with it, isn't it a gift from a thousand miles away?
Seeing his expression, Wang Zhan felt much more relaxed.
"Okay, brother-in-law, my sister is also thinking about you. If you don't want to use such a large amount of gold and silver for a legitimate reason, it will be bad if you keep it in your hands. I came today to help you think of a way to get the best of both worlds. Just listen to me. "
"Are you helping me find a way? You also want to get a share!" Zou Wenliang's face was extremely ugly, and his brother-in-law was clearly taking the opportunity to blackmail others.
"Whatever you think, just say whether you want to get rid of this gold and silver as soon as possible..."
Wang Zhan didn't want to quarrel with him, he came here today for business.
Of course Zou Wenliang thought, even in his dreams, he wanted to get rid of the things in his hands quickly. When the matter was revealed, he would still have to deny it.
Moreover, Tang Yu has been eyeing them recently, and everyone can't think of a countermeasure for the time being. He is very anxious, and always feels that things will not be hidden for long.
To put it in a pessimistic way, he wanted to pack up his things and run away.But this is the last resort. People leave their hometowns and are cheap. If they are not forced to run away, they must not do it.
Since the gold and silver have been known by the uncle, it is useless to be angry.
Zou Wenliang weighed the importance and held back his temper, "Okay, I'll talk about other issues later. Then tell me how you can help me deal with the gold and silver. Let me tell you, this gold and silver is not easy to deal with..."
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I found an opportunity this time, and I can handle things that are difficult to handle for you. Isn't the Yamen doing some kind of bidding recently? Although I can't be selected, I have a good candidate. At that time, I cooperated with him, exchanged the money into food, mixed it in, and sold it to the yamen, and after such a turnaround, wouldn’t the source of gold and silver money be justified?”
"But to be on the safe side, you have to tell me how you got this money? Whose hands did you pass through? If it wasn't for my business going wrong this time, I wouldn't take the risk of touching your dirty things."
Wang Zhan showed a cautious expression, and said without any trace.
But Zou Wenliang narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, "Do you really want to listen?"
"Naturally, you have to be careful in everything, otherwise, if I run into the owner's hands, it will be difficult to deal with. Why, your money... can't be said?"
Wang Zhan's face was full of vigilance, "If you can't tell me, you can tell me a little bit, and tell me who to avoid."
Zou Wenliang didn't speak for a while, staring at Wang Zhan thoughtfully.
After a long time, the other party continued,
"It's really hard to say. This thing involves a lot. If you know too much, it's not a good thing. After all, we are also related by marriage. You are Yingying's only brother. I don't want to see you and I can't hurt you..."
These words are really high-sounding and hypocritical. If Zou Wenliang really takes the Wang family into consideration, unless the sun comes out from the west.
But Wang Zhan saw it through and didn't say it, and agreed, "Who says it's not, anyway, we are also brother-in-law, and it's better than others, otherwise I won't get in trouble with you no matter how hard it is."
Zou Wenliang nodded,
"However, since you also know about this item, I can't say anything else, but it's okay to leave it to you. The method you mentioned is very feasible. The amount of food and cloth purchased by the government this time is huge, and it is unknown to mix this gold and silver into it. Before you know it, it’s a good strategy.”
"Brother-in-law, you also think it's a good idea."
Wang Zhan smiled wryly.
Zou Wenliang scoffed at the idiot in his heart, showed a complimenting smile, and continued,
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to have such a plan, brother-in-law. I was wrong before. Then I will leave this matter to you. As long as you don't deal with it in Licheng City, it will be fine. But What I let Yingying hide is only a part, and some are in other places, I need time to get them, you wait for two days, and I will share [-]% with you afterwards, how about it?"
"Hey, this is still a small part... Brother-in-law, you are really good. No problem, let me know when you are here, and I will contact the grain merchant and cloth merchant outside."
Wang Zhan expressed surprise and admiration, and nodded in agreement.
Zou Wenliang smiled, thinking about it.
days thereafter.
According to the plan, Wang Zhan pretended to contact friends and merchants outside, as if preparing to do something.
After Zou Wenliang came down, he checked that the situation of Wang's shop was not very good recently. He urgently needed money and business transactions to save the turnover. Seeing that Wang Zhan had indeed gone outside to contact the grain merchants and cloth merchants, his doubts were dispelled. Suspect.
Afterwards, Zou Wenliang immediately contacted Ding Chang and the others to discuss the escape method he had come up with.
"You said to push your brother-in-law out as a scapegoat?"
Everyone stared at Zou Wenliang in admiration. This guy is really ruthless. After all, he is a relative.
Zou Wenliang also had no other choice, he didn't want to die.
"Now Tang Yu has his eyes on us. We attacked him like that at the auction. If he doesn't scratch us and we don't explain to him, this matter cannot be resolved. It is impossible to get away completely, but we can save our lives. .”
"If you want to blame it, blame my brother-in-law for being unlucky... Let's plant all the gold and silver in our hands on Wang Zhan, and then find someone to 'tell' Tang Yu the 'truth' about the failure of their Tang family's property, and push everything to the end. On Wang Zhan, we are just pawns who take some bribes and bribes. When Tang Yu's anger is spilled on Wang Zhan, we will be punished at most, and the worst thing is to lose our errands, which is better than losing our lives."
So many people feel that there is some truth, but can things go smoothly?
"But can Tang Yu believe it?"
"Why don't you believe it? Wang Zhan and Tang Yundong's business dealings are 'enemies'. He was jealous and resentful and asked someone to rob and kill him, and then bribed us to seek the Tang family's property. Afterwards, he was afraid that the son of the enemy would retaliate, so he plotted in every possible way. We were caught by him and were afraid. Lost the errand, had to accept the threat of the other party to do the job...'Facts' are so, there is nothing unbelievable."
Zou Wenliang looked ruthless.
Everyone rolled their eyes to think about the feasibility.
After a while, Ding Chang was the first to second, "I think Brother Zou's plan is feasible. Whether Tang Yundong's death was accidental or man-made, it's just a matter of talking. We don't have much time, everyone, don't forget, if Mr. Cai gets involved... …We are not alone in our deaths.”
"..."
Hearing this, everyone felt chills running down their backs and sweating on their hands.
If so, then he can only feel sorry for Wang Zhan.
*********
71. Unlucky Wang Zhan
A few days later, Zou Wenliang found Wang Zhan again, brought him several carts of gold, silver and jewelry, and showed extreme trust in Wang Zhan.
Wang Zhan muttered in his heart, but on the face he accepted the things cooperatively. Both of them were smiling, and MMP in their hearts.
After getting the gold and silver, Wang Zhan told "Master Mask" about the gold and silver while pretending to contact friends outside to buy food and cloth.
And Zou Wenliang and his group were not idle, they bought the former servants of the Tang family to "inform" Tang Yu...
Tang Yu was surprised to hear the whistleblower, but he didn't panic.
After all, he is not the real "Tang Yu", and he has no father-son affection for the dead Tang father, and reason is greater than emotion.
"You said... my father was murdered? Then why didn't you say it before?"
Tang Yu stared at the informant servant. This servant was still vivid in the memory of the original owner. He was one of the few attendants who came back alive when Father Tang met the bandits.
In terms of relationship, the credibility is relatively high, but the sudden whistleblower has to be pondered.
"Young master, I am guilty. I didn't say it before, because there are too many people involved in this matter, the villain's status is low, and the Tang family has no background. I am afraid that the young master will be impulsive, and he will be murdered... Now the young master enters With such a promising future in the Yamen, the slave dares to tell the truth."
The servant burst into tears, "Master's death was not an accident, it was a vendetta. It was the merchant Wang who killed the master. The merchant offended many people in business during his lifetime. The merchant Wang hated the master, so he did it so viciously."
"Businessman Wang?"
"Yes, businessman Wang's real name is Wang Zhan. After he bought bandits to kill the master, he conspired with his brother-in-law and several yamen staff to design the fourth master. The fourth master's business is not as stable as the master's, and the family business left by the master was deceived. ..."
"Later, the businessman Wang saw that the young master was promising, and he was afraid that the young master would find out the truth and take revenge, so he threatened those aides to frame the young master repeatedly, young master, the master died so badly."
The servant was crying sadly, and he looked like a loyal servant.
But Tang Yu felt strange, "You are just a servant, where did you get this news?"
As if he had known that he would ask something, the servant took out a piece of white cloth with crooked writing on it from his sleeve, and continued to cry.
"Master, although I am just a lowly slave, the master treated us very generously during his lifetime. When the master was killed, I hid in the grass and heard the bandit say with my own ears, 'Go back and ask for more gold and silver from Merchant Wang'. Slave I had doubts in my heart, and I didn't dare to publicize this matter, so I buried it in my heart and investigated it in private..."
"Fortunately, God opened my eyes. After I returned to the city, I met those bandits going to their daughters. I didn't blame them, and finally found out the truth. I was extremely servile, but at that time the Tang family was defeated, and the young master couldn't support the family. I don't dare to be reckless, I dare to speak up until now."
"On this piece of white cloth is the time record every time the lowly slave sees the bandits coming to the city to enter the female house. If the young master has any doubts, just go to the female house and check the time with the madam."
All kinds of logical explanations are very reasonable, and the connection really makes sense.
But Tang Yu didn't believe it, because the timing was too coincidental, he took Wang Zhan to investigate Zou Wenliang, and later someone came to inform him that Wang Zhan had killed his "father", which was too coincidental.
What did the bandit who robbed at the beginning said, except that the servant could not prove the truth; and it is not difficult to falsify the stay time recorded by Baibu, as the daughter-in-law has the account book, she can copy it in advance.
What is even more doubtful is that this lowly slave is too capable to find out the truth on his own. How can the subordinates sent by Yin Tyrant live?
Is this little servant stronger than the professional secret guards trained by the tyrant?If it is, then it is really a talent; if not, it will be more interesting...
"I see. There are many people involved in this matter. I have to think about it carefully. You can go back. I'll find you again if I need anything."
Tang Yu suppressed his doubts and accepted the white cloth with handwriting.
"The slave will leave first. If the young master has a summons, he can send someone to Mr. Zhang's house. This slave is now working at the merchant's house. Take care, young master."
The servant nodded loyally and went back to wait for the news.
After waiting for the person to leave, Tang Yu immediately went to the Li Palace to find Yin Yu, and told him the news for the tyrant to listen to.
When it comes to the conspiracy theory of fighting for power and profit, the tyrant is much more advanced than him.
Now that he had a reasonable excuse to cover up, he went to Prince Li's mansion without making a fuss, and everyone only thought he was going to 'serve' King Li and gave them sympathetic looks.
But in the end whether to serve one or the other, only the parties themselves know.
After carefully telling Yin Yu about the events of these days, Tang Yu also shared his own analysis. In order to stabilize the position of his confidant, besides being loyal, he must show his ability all the time.
"Master, I think all of this is too coincidental. I have tried Wang Zhan. He is as timid as a mouse and not thoughtful enough. He is a mediocre person. He will never be able to plan such a big situation... Besides, if he really kills Returning my father and scheming against me, how could you come to me on your own initiative?"
The most important thing is that he gave a psychological hint. If Wang Zhan is really the person behind the scenes, the psychological hint should be to fear him. How could he be afraid of being implicated by Zou Wenliang.
"So this servant must be lying, and someone else is teaching him. Wang Zhan is just a scapegoat."
"The ones who teach the servants to lie are none other than Ding Chang. Whether my father died accidentally or was murdered is not sure, but we can be sure that they are the ones who lost the property of our Tang family..."
"But master, Yu really can't figure out why Ding Chang and others took so much trouble to deal with me? Is it just for the sake of my family's gold and silver? If Da Ke just pack up his things and run away now, why bother to hand them over again? Come out, I also believe that Wang Zhan is the mastermind, but I still can't make them feel better."
This is what Tang Yu couldn't figure out. Even if Ding Chang and the others handed over the property and asked Wang Zhan to take the blame, they would still be punished in the end. Why did they do this.
Yin Yu pondered in silence, pondered for a while,
"If you can give up your money, you will save your life. There seems to be someone behind these people, and once this person is exposed, I am afraid that not only will Ding Chang and the others die, but the family will also be in danger, so they will do whatever it takes. Abandon the car and save the handsome."
"But what does it have to do with me? Why do they want to hold on to Yu? Our Tang family is just a very ordinary merchant's family, and my father rarely makes friends with officials, gentry, and business. , if my Tang family has someone in the government, with my father's ability, the Tang family would have already occupied a place in Licheng."
Tang Yu nodded, but still had doubts.
Yin Yu also couldn't guess this point, but if you want to know the truth, you can't rely on guessing alone, and even the most meticulous people will show their feet sometimes.
"Since they are throwing stones to ask for directions, then we will use our tactics to lure snakes out of their holes. Wang Zhan is a good pawn..."
Tang Yu thought for a while, and smiled tacitly, "Master, I know what to do."
Yin Yu smiled and rubbed the top of the boy's hair.
……
After Tang Yu went back, he asked someone to bring Wang Zhan to him that night, and told him about Zou Wenliang's plan to make him a scapegoat.
Wang Zhan almost died of anger at that time.
This Zou Wenliang is too insignificant. If he hadn't taken the first step to join the court's "Supervision Department" and seized the opportunity, Zou Wenliang would really have made such a mess, and all his Wang family would have to go to see Lord Hades, which is simply abominable.
"My lord, you can't believe what Zou Wenliang said. I had business dealings with Tang Yundong before, but it was just a normal communication. Tang Yundong is a good businessman, and he is generous. How could I commit murder and steal money out of jealousy?" Things, besides, I don't have the guts!"
Wang Zhan was angry and hurried to explain.
"Don't worry, we naturally believe in you, otherwise we wouldn't tell you the news."
Tang Yu nodded, "But Tang Yu doesn't necessarily believe that you are innocent. Zou Wenliang and the others stuffed all the gold, silver and jewels of the Tang family into your hands, and the servant who went to inform Tang Yu was the witness of Tang Yundong's death. Those who have been framed by physical evidence and corrected by witnesses, you can't argue with this matter now."
"Then, what should I do? My lord, I am innocent. I really didn't do it. That servant must have been bribed! My lord, please help me..."
Wang Zhan was so frightened that he cried, how could he be so unlucky.
"Don't worry, the responsibility of our Supervision Department is to deal with all kinds of corrupt officials. We will never wrong good people. We will definitely help you. But this matter cannot be done clearly for the time being, so you and your family need to be wronged. "
Tang Yu continued to fool around in a serious manner.
Wang Zhan had no master, he just wanted to survive, "My lord, please tell me, as long as I can save my life, I will eat any poor people."
"Pretend you don't know anything first, let Tang Yu vent your anger on you, and be the scapegoat and go to the prison. We will secretly send someone to protect you and your family. We will take action after Zou Wenliang and the others relax. Pull out their pigtails and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. It is safer for you to be in the cell, lest Zou Wenliang and the others will attack you again and kill you, pretending that you committed suicide in fear of crime without evidence."
"This this……"
Wang Zhan was a little scared, the cell can kill people, if the "Master Mask" faction doesn't work hard, their whole family will be more dead.
Tang Yu saw his thoughts, and continued to coax him,
"It's faster to die outside, there are many variables outside, and I don't have so many manpower to protect your family. And now that Tang Yu knows the 'truth' and believes in Zou Wenliang's evil, do you think he will let you continue to live freely?"
"Now that things have come to this point, it's your way of life. Only if you become a scapegoat, Zou Wenliang and the others will relax their vigilance and show their feet. Whether you will suffer a little or lose your life, you have to think about it yourself. I have no choice but to do this. Zou Wenliang was a little too cruel to you, you are his brother-in-law anyway, and you don't have any deep hatred..."
That's right, Zou Wenliang, a black-hearted bastard.
"My lord, I listen to you. You must punish Zou Wenliang and those people, and return the villain's innocence. The villain kowtows to you."
Wang Zhan gritted his teeth and had no choice.I hate Zou Wenliang so much, what a disaster he did!
***********
72. Clues and Traces, Master Cai
The plan proposed by Zou Wenliang was 'smooth'.
Within a few days, Tang Yu, who became 'angry' and lost his mind, started attacking Wang Zhan, ransacked Wang's house with random excuses, and sent Wang Zhan's family to the cell.
And asked Li Wang to put pressure on Wei Bingjun and drive Ding Chang and others out of the Yamen.
Such resolute measures made the people in the yamen tremble, and they felt a little more afraid of Tang Yu in their hearts. It seemed that Tang Shizi was really stimulated too much, and his temper became more and more extreme.
As a result, when Ding Chang and the others packed up their things and got out of the Yamen, their expressions were not good, but they were relieved in their hearts.
The way to cover up a big event is to create a bigger one. Their move went smoothly, and Tang Yu's anger was mostly transferred to Wang Zhan, the scapegoat.
After returning, Ding Chang and the others began to thank the guests behind closed doors, staying at home all day without seeing anyone, and they were very cautious when they planned to wait for the limelight to pass.
And Tang Yu was not in a hurry, Yin Yu sent people to watch over him, and he continued to do yamen business as usual.
Recently, the temperature in Licheng has begun to cool down, and the heavy snow is coming soon. The problem of winter for the people is imminent and cannot be delayed any longer.
After identifying a few more reliable and honest grain merchants and cloth merchants, Tang Yu exchanged all the charitable funds for grain and cloth, and then immediately notified each village that the number of villagers was being counted to come to the yamen to receive supplies.
In order to avoid corruption and bad things with unscrupulous intentions, each Lizheng was accompanied by an official when returning, and did not return to the official until all the supplies were distributed to each villager.
Of course, bribery is inevitable during this period, but all officials are strictly instructed, and people will be sent to make unannounced visits and inspections for material matters. Once someone is found to be cheating, they will be severely punished!
Wei Bingjun was very satisfied with Tang Yu's use of severe torture. There are no rules, so it's fine for others to turn a blind eye on weekdays. At this moment, the matter of winter can't be neglected at all, it must be done like this.
Wei Bingjun had never expressed his opinion on what Tang Yu had discussed with him before.
Tang Yu knew that the other party was still hesitating, and was afraid that if he made a wrong move, he would lose everything. Wei Bingjun had come to this day by being cautious. He still had his family behind him, and the lover he wanted to protect, so he had to choose carefully.
There is no rush on this matter, even if Wei Bingjun didn't think about it in the end, he and the tyrant master still plan to push each other to the top.
Because Wei Bingjun was born from a poor family, he has no influence behind him, his conduct is fair, his ability is also good, and he has more common people in his heart. He will be the best "power holder" in Licheng in the future.
Otherwise, if someone else takes over, Licheng will always be in a struggle for power, unable to realize the plan of developing infrastructure and saving strength...
anyway.
When distributing supplies, Tang Yu also tried his best to promote Wei Bingjun and the gentry who participated in the charity fundraising this time.
Taking other people's money, this reputation will naturally be given to others. The common people shouted their gratitude, and everyone was very happy, especially those Weng Gong celebrities who donated calligraphy and paintings, they were so happy, they valued reputation the most.
Feeling the benefits of publicity, everyone paid more attention to newspapers and periodicals.
In the past, the articles published in newspapers and periodicals were all begged by Lu Chongshan with a shy face, but now those celebrities Weng Gong began to submit articles on their own initiative. As soon as there were too many articles, they had to choose. Lu Chongshan's status among those celebrities Weng Gong suddenly It has improved a lot.
"Uncle Lu, now that the seven kingdoms are at the same level, it's boring to serve only one country; more wars are raging, and what are we among the world's scholars? Why don't we find another way..."
There are many aides and military advisers in the world, and there are not many talented people. The chance of being the only "Zhuge Liang" is really slim.
Instead of waiting for Bole who doesn't know when to appear, it's better to go head-on.
"Nephew Tang, Lu is narrow-minded."
Lu Chongshan nodded in agreement, looking at the small plaque of 'Publishing House', a strong sense of pride rose in his heart.
The newspaper is hosted by Lu Chongshan and written by Jiang Hanyi. All Tang Yu needs to do is to grasp the source of the news, the 'News Department'.
In the short term, the status of the newspapers has not been stabilized, and it is not enough to rely solely on the support of the Yamen, so they dare not release too secret information in the newspapers, so as not to touch the interests of any gentry.
But the main function of newspapers is to publish 'news' in newspapers, not articles specially for those celebrities and Weng Gong.
So after Tang Yu thought about it carefully, besides the yamen, he also posted a notice to the public, how can the news industry lose the role of "paparazzi"?
These people don't have a fixed salary, and a piece of employment news is rewarded according to the importance, at least 20 copper baht.
For the low-income people, this is simply money for nothing. Anyway, everyone listens to the news and gossip on weekdays. Now that they can use it to pay back the money, everyone is very happy.
If you can't provoke the gentry, then the news content of the newspaper can only focus on folk stories and women. For the time being, take these things to stabilize, and when the background and scale of the newspaper are stable in the future, it will be the time for the writing...
Of course, newspapers and periodicals are important literary and ink things, and it is impossible for Tang Yu to mess around and make a scandal.
Folk anecdotes published in newspapers should be accurately described as "miraculous events", such as which village has a miracle, which town has a big man visit, which common people have seen incredible strange things, and so on.
These twists and turns written by Jiang Hanyi's writing style greatly satisfy the spiritual entertainment of the ancients who rarely have entertainment in this world.
As for the women, it is natural to write about the elegant scenes of Licheng noblewomen fighting with words and flower arranging at a party.
Today I will talk about how talented Mrs. xx's wife is; tomorrow I will praise the virtues of Mrs. xx's nobles; , so that the men of the gentry clan are extremely honorable, so when they read the newspaper, they not only like the articles on it, but also pay attention to various news.
As a result, the noble ladies in the city have been unwilling to stay at home to embroider since then, and they just ran out and walked around to express themselves when they had nothing to do. Even the gentle and charming words can make people happy.
For a while, the sales of newspapers and periodicals soared, because noble men bought them, and the ladies and ladies in the backyard also liked to read them.
But because there is no paper and no printing technology, it can only be copied manually, which is time-consuming and laborious.After all, newspapers and periodicals cannot be distributed in large quantities, and there is no way for everyone to have one copy as in modern times. There is still a long way to go for newspapers and periodicals.
"Hey, it's a pity that papermaking and printing can't be used for the time being, otherwise it would be much easier to make newspapers..."
Tang Yu felt a little regretful.
Before Li City was completely in the hands of the tyrant, he was a beggar guarding the golden mountain. The system had a lot of golden fingers, but he didn't dare to take them out easily.The only thing he can show right now is the recipe for Chao Lailou.
However, Duke Qu has already fallen into the trap of the tyrant master, and it won't be too long. As long as Yin Yu completely controls Licheng, it will be his opportunity to play a huge role, and the infrastructure construction tasks will be carried out in full swing.
The most worth mentioning now are Ding Chang and the others. It was a bit unexpected. This group of people just stayed at home behind closed doors for two full months before they made any movement.
Fortunately, Yin Yu did not hesitate to increase his manpower and kept watch day and night. Only then did he realize that one day Ding Chang and the others disguised themselves and went out in the middle of the night.
"It seems that Mr. Cai is the next breakthrough."
"However, this Mr. Cai seems to be Qu Gong's confidant and is very popular. Could it be that Qu Gong is behind it? But it doesn't make sense. Why is Qu Gong going so hard to compete with me? Could it be... this is not a dish Impossible, but Mission: Impossible again? We are the oriole at the back, and Mr. Qu is the hunter at the top?"
Tang Yu was horrified and somewhat unbelievable, how could this song master play so well?
Yin Yu shook his head, "Mr. Qu of Licheng doesn't have this kind of ability. If he wants to have this kind of city, he would have returned to the Qu family a long time ago. Why should he stay at this age."
"In that case, Master, there is something wrong with Mr. Cai. It seems that Li City is not completely in the hands of Duke Qu..."
Tang Yu's eyes were bright, with an expression of wanting to do 'bad things'.
Yin Yu smiled unconsciously, and waved Ah Jiu and Ah Shi to step back, enjoying the alone time with the boy.
"It's not easy to check the people in Ding Chang because the target is too small. Master Cai is easy to deal with. But it's approaching the end of the year, and these things are not in a hurry. Such a bad day is bad luck. Yesterday Wangcheng sent an imperial chef. This king eats together..."
Tang Yu was taken aback, "The royal chef from Wangcheng?", isn't that the person in the palace.
"I'm here to 'caring' about my king's life, and my cooking skills are not bad."
Yin Yu looked indifferent.
Tang Yu understood that the tyrant master was alive, not only the heart of the Qu family was thorny, but Wang Cheng was also worried after all.
Sighing in his heart, he half-kneeled in front of Yin Yu, reached out and slowly massaged the man's legs, smiling,
"Master, since he is the royal chef in the royal palace, his cooking skills must be exquisite, and Yu has a good taste. Yu is greedy, can the master stay in the mansion for the New Year, so that Yu can eat a few more royal meals? It is a reward for doing things for the master. Credit?"
Tang Yu is optimistic by nature, and every time he smiles, it doesn't seem clear and shallow, but the corners of his mouth are curved, revealing the brilliance of white teeth.
Such a smile is very contagious, like the warm sun in spring makes people feel warm.
In the young man's focused eyes, it seems that as long as he can win the nod of his master, it is an unparalleled satisfaction, and he will make people let go of their vigilance wholeheartedly.
"Yu would like to spend the New Year with this king, this king is very happy."
Yin Yu stretched out his hand to hold half of his face, the years of frost on his handsome face could always disappear in front of the young man, replaced by a smile.
