Chapter 131 The Attribution of the Inspector of the Eastern Capital
"Can't live more than half a year?"
Li Mo smiled bitterly.
It seems that the people have been completely disappointed with Ruyang. It is definitely a long way to go to build Ruyang into a base camp.
"Actually, half a year is a long time. The last county magistrate even had half a year. Moreover, he is also a veteran official in Dongdu. Isn't he more experienced than this new book writer?"
"Then...why is this?"
After coming back to his senses, Li Mo asked deliberately.
"Why? Why else? It's obvious that officials and gangsters are colluding. Even ordinary people can see through things at a glance, but they can't be seen up there!"
The more Liu Shan talked, the angrier he became, almost slamming the table.
"Collusion between officials and gangsters?"
"Well, Ruyang County has had several county magistrates, and so has the county captain. But the eighth-grade county magistrate is as stable as a mountain... I wouldn't believe it if there weren't some fishy people involved."
"Xian Cheng Hu Luo!"
Li Mo's expression changed slightly.
He did a lot of homework before going to Ruyang to take office, and Hu Luo had actually come into his sight long ago.
This person is a native of Ruyang, his family has strong financial resources, and he has never been transferred for many years. It can be said that he is "conscientious", but other officials in the county government are not like this.
As Liu Shan said, there must be something wrong with him.
When we arrive in Ruyang, if we want to solve Ruyang's troubles, Hu Luo should be the first breakthrough point.
"By the way, Boss Liu, since Ruyang officials and gangsters colluded, the people were extremely poor, and the population was flowing out year after year...your silk business..."
After a pause, Li Mo couldn't help but ask again.
He was really curious. Why did Liu Shan go to Ruyang to do business when he said that Ruyang was worthless and hated him so much?
And ordinary people who are ordinary people in the silk business simply cannot afford it.
"Strange to say, all other businesses in Ruyang County are in slump, but this silk business is extremely popular. As long as the silk is sent to the county seat of Ruyang County, a mysterious wealthy businessman will take over and take over all. Our industry is close to
Almost all of the caravan of a hundred people is engaged in the silk business."
Liu Shan touched his chin.
In fact, he had various doubts at the beginning, but later he didn't think about it so much.
As long as someone buys the goods and makes money, it doesn't matter who he is?
"oh!"
"However, although there is no need to worry about selling silk, the security situation in Ruyang County is really poor... If there is a capable county magistrate who can completely eliminate the cancer in Ruyang County, our business will be better."
"It's natural."
that's all,
After Liu Shan's various complaints, Li Mo's team set off again, but this time it became a long team of more than a hundred people.
As the queue gets longer, the pace slows down.
Li Mo settled Zhou Yurou and came to the carriage of Master Zeng and Dan Qiusheng.
"Sir, did you hear what the merchant just said?"
"My lord, if the merchant did not lie, the problems in Ruyang County will not be small. My lord needs to be careful."
Dan Qiusheng nodded solemnly.
"Sir, do you mean foreigners?"
Li Mo's mind sank.
After returning to the carriage, the more he thought about it, the more he felt there was a problem, so he came over to discuss it with the two gentlemen. It seemed that all three of them had the same idea.
"In our Tang Dynasty, only wealthy and noble families were qualified to wear silk robes. Even some merchants who were registered as merchants could not wear silk robes even if they had a lot of money. Ruyang County, with less than 100,000 people, could
How many rich and powerful people are there?
It is impossible except in foreign countries where the demand is great.”
Master Zeng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Although the Tang Dynasty still seemed prosperous and powerful on the surface, in fact it had already been undercurrents.
One day, once a trigger appears, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is destined to be gone forever.
"There is also Hu Luo. It is very likely that he has some unexplained relationship with foreign countries. Therefore, my lord needs to consider the long term. It would be better to lie dormant for a while in Ruyang."
After a pause, Dan Qiusheng said again.
I have to say,
There is a reason for Dan Qiusheng and Master Zeng to be called the top ten scribes among the people. They guessed the whole thing in just a few words.
"Well, it's just as Mr. said."
Li Mo nodded.
The three of them chatted about other things in the carriage, and then Li Mo returned to his carriage.
'Ms. Sir, Ruyang County is so chaotic... we...'
As soon as she entered the carriage, Zhou Yurou couldn't help but worry.
Just now she heard the merchant complain and asked her to cover her face while walking, which made Zhou Yurou even more nervous.
In Zhou Yurou's heart, her husband-in-law did not have the strength to deal with this situation. If it were not for the help of Yi Bolou in the accompanying team, his husband-in-law might only be able to take care of two book boys at most.
"Madam, don't worry, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. There is always a way!"
Li Mo smiled.
Although the situation in Ruyang is chaotic, it is not without solutions.
Yi Bo Building is no longer the original Yi Bo Building.
"Sigh...Having said that, but...there are Zhou Yuqing and Xu Ning here in Dongdu. If there is a problem with my husband's officialdom, Xu Ning will definitely not let go of the opportunity."
Zhou Yurou gently leaned on Li Mo.
"Xu Ning? He doesn't need to worry!"
When Xu Ning was mentioned, Li Mo's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but think of the conversation before Shen Jin was promoted.
"I hope..."

Dongdu, Imperial Study Room,
Emperor Li Longji finished reading the memorial in his hand, touched his beard, and frowned slightly.
"The Eastern Capital now needs a governor, who do you think is suitable?"
For a long time, Li Longji looked at the eunuch Gao Lishi who was waiting beside the dragon case.
"Your Majesty, I dare not discuss the government's affairs unreasonably!"
Hearing this, Gao Lishi bowed slightly and whispered.
"It doesn't matter, just say what you say, there are no outsiders here."
Li Longji waved his hand.
Looking at the entire court, Gao Lishi was definitely his most trusted minister, bar none.
"Here...I wonder if there are any candidates from the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"
After hesitating for a moment, Gao Lishi whispered.
"The Ministry of Personnel recommended two people, one is the Protectorate Chief Shi Xuning, and the other is Dongdu Biejia Zhao Hai!"
"Xu Ning? Is he the son-in-law of Zhou Yuan, the Minister of Rites?"
"It is this man. Zhou Yuan also did not avoid relatives in his internal affairs, and strongly recommended his son-in-law to the officials."
Li Longji spoke calmly.
Although the affairs of the court have been handed over to several important ministers in recent years, some things are still very clear.
"The Minister of Civil Affairs has a lot of little thoughts, but compared to Xu Ning, Zhao Hai's qualifications are slightly insufficient. He was a book writer before... If he is allowed to be the master of the East Capital at this time,
Officer, I'm afraid..."
After a moment of silence, Gao Lishi gave his answer.
Although Zhou Yuan and Xu Ning have a relationship as son-in-law, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the Tang Dynasty. It is common for officials to serve as officials.
Even if there are several people from one sect becoming officials, there are many.
