Cao boats are custom-made ships specially designed to transport grain to the two capitals. They are very suitable for traveling in canals with shallow water depths. They are built, managed and used by the government. The rice transported by the more than 20 canal boats that Li You tried to pretend to be not
As for grain merchants, everything has to start with the newly appointed Lord Shoudao who participated in politics.
It is said that this old man's surname is Shi Dan, and his last name is Lun, with the word and title omitted, but he is a well-known and upright minister in this dynasty. He got a nickname when he was the prefect, and he was called the Grand Administrator of Liangfeng. Why?
That is to say, "many wind" and "shangfengjie", translated into vernacular, means that this person is both able to do things and has integrity. It is likened to the kind of writer who updates tens of thousands of times a day and can continue to update for several years.
To dare to be praised as upright by the people of the time, it goes without saying that he must have offended the powerful. At that time, Mr. Shi's term as governor had expired and his political performance was good. According to the convention, he should be promoted to participate in politics. As a result, he was wasted in the relocation, and he was already preparing to retire in Nanjing.
, but last month he was appointed as the branch guard Su Songdao.
From the side, it can also be seen that the big shots in the imperial court are not fools, and they know how to send people who can really fight to calm down the situation when faced with chaos. Moreover, this person is in Nanjing, which is also close to Suzhou.
Lord Shi was ordered to take action immediately when he was in danger. Compared with Li Tuiguan, who was forced to perform tricks due to his limited position and ability, Shi Shenqian still had some real skills. He did not take office immediately, but urgently reported to the court.
He sent rice from Nanjing's household department warehouse to Suzhou for relief. At the same time, he persuaded Nanjing's household secretary to supervise the shipment first.
Some people may ask, there are a lot of officials and sergeants in Nanjing who don’t eat anymore? It’s very simple, just levy the excess warehouse rice from various governments in Huguang and send it to Nanjing. Regardless of the distance from Nanjing to Suzhou or from Huguang to Nanjing, it is faster than directly transporting the warehouse rice from Huguang to Nanjing.
Shipping rice to Suzhou saves half the time.
The more than 20 ships that Li Tuiguan encountered were the first batch of Nanjing Hubu warehouse rice that Shi Shenzheng came to Suzhou to supervise when he took office. Shi Shenzheng was worried that he would get into trouble along the way after playing his official card.
The social activities delayed the arrival in Suzhou, so he quietly went south. Unexpectedly, some local officials with great powers came to visit...
The grain merchant who received Li You was actually a fake one from Shi Shenzheng. These days, many businessmen like to dress up like scholars and businessmen, so they did not raise any suspicion about the master Li You. The negotiation went smoothly, and what happens next is up to the judge.
We all know that a human tragedy happened.
It’s not without doubts. Why can the grain dealer’s rice be transported by boat? If it is really Huguang rice, why is it several days earlier than expected? Unfortunately, Li Tuiguan ignored them all, thinking that it was some grain dealer who was pretending to be a public benefit.
The officials who joined the political system on the right side really brought it upon themselves and cannot blame anyone else. This is a living example of what it means to be stupid because of the power of a leader.
To say that Shi Shenzhenghui was angry on the spot because Li You stole the limelight is really to judge the heart of a big man with the heart of a small citizen, similar to guessing that the emperor used a golden ax to chop firewood.
Does Shi Shenzheng's position require him to be in the limelight in front of the people? Not to mention Shi Shenzheng, even Chen Xundao doesn't need it. Besides, the ignorant people here may not be able to understand the situation. Could it be that the well-informed local gentry still can't tell the difference?
Therefore, Shi Shenzheng did not bother to compete with Li You here. As a third-level official who has escaped from low-level tastes, and as an official who has become a senior official in the first step, popular opinion can be an embellishment but not a necessity. To put it harshly,
It's really dispensable.
Perhaps you have heard that a certain county magistrate was rewarded and promoted for his outstanding achievements and high popularity, but what about going higher up? Who has ever heard of which minister was promoted to minister because of his popularity? Which political participant was promoted to governor because of his popularity? Which one?
The minister was appointed to the cabinet because of his popularity?
People-Friendly Officers brush up their popularity for the sake of appeal. Improving their appeal is for achieving political achievements. Achieving political achievements is for assessment of promotion. However, in this level of upgrading game, the maximum experience you can gain is to reach the prefecture level and then it is capped. If you want to move up, how can you gain it?
The experience value is basically zero. What you need at this time is the game company to open the cap limit for you.
The conversation has gone too far, and the camera is pulled back to the canal outside Suzhou City. The full guard of honor of the political participants is displayed. Shi Dashen (the nickname of the political participants) crowds off the boat, attracting the attention of the people on the shore.
Li You suddenly woke up from his numbness. The top priority was to save himself. He quickly came forward and paid homage: "Li You, the official of the Suzhou Prefecture, has met Mr. Lao. He has been rude all the way and deserves death!"
When Shi Shenzheng saw Li You coming over, he felt disgust from the bottom of his heart. He instructed his staff to hide Li You and let Li You do what he did, just to see what Li You could do, and to catch him with a cat-and-mouse mentality.
A current situation.
At present, he has already made a comment about Li You - a villain who has no talent and no virtue, is opportunistic, and wants to gain fame and fortune. This is the type he hates the most.
And no matter who it is, even if they don't seek fame for doing good deeds, they won't be willing to let others claim it, let alone someone who makes Shi Shenzheng feel disgusted.
I didn't want to offend you here, but you still dare to shamelessly send me to my door. I don't need to be polite anymore. Shi Shenzheng secretly thought in his heart. He immediately reprimanded: "You are a treacherous villain. You are eating the king's salary and don't think about it."
To share the worries of the imperial court, you dare to incite the people here and make trouble. In such a bright world, how can you be an official here!"
Li You defended himself: "There are many misunderstandings, and this is definitely not what I meant..."
"Shut up!" Shi Canzheng interrupted Li You, "I have seen it with my own eyes, and yet I dare to quibble, which is simply unacceptable! In this calamity year, you should be maintaining the situation in the city to appease the people, but you are cheating outside.
!I will never allow people who are just sitting in the corpse position to act recklessly, just wait until you are impeached!"
It was the first time that Li You saw such an upright official. He couldn't help being scolded by Shi Shenzheng in front of his face. He was very angry, but he didn't dare to reply. Firstly, he was his boss, a boss with the power of assessment; secondly, he had no food supply.
It was indeed someone else who brought it, and I made a big mistake by trying to pretend to admit it.
Li You was too cowardly to resist, but the onlookers were dissatisfied.
Suzhou Prefecture has the largest number of citizens in the world. The two things they love most are filing lawsuits and gathering crowds to make noise. Therefore, officials often lament that there are many unruly people in Wu and it is difficult to be an official. I think back then, Suzhou citizens besieged the governor and the like.
There is no shortage of things to do. In fact, in the words of the 21st century, this is called the awakening of the market's profit consciousness.
At this time, the people around him started to make a fuss when they saw Master Li being scolded so badly.
Who is Mr. Li? He is a native of his hometown. Not only is he an idol and talented man who has written many excellent poems, but he is also an official who is willing to make decisions for the people and works tirelessly. Now he is being yelled at by a faint-hearted official who does not know his origins.
, and dare to threaten to remove Mr. Li, which is intolerable.
Someone in the crowd yelled: "Where did you come from, you bastard official, how dare you act wild on our land in Suzhou!"
Another person who did not understand the official system said: "Are Zhejiang's political participants very powerful? If you dare to interfere in Suzhou's affairs, your hands are too long!"
"This old man dares to insult Mr. Li, and he treats me as an unrighteous person in Suzhou!"
"The old thief who has killed a thousand swords will die early and be born again!"
When Shi joined the government, he never expected that such a situation would arise. Since he became an official, he has prided himself on being fair and honest, with an outstanding political voice, and all the people under his command are sincerely convinced. He has never had this kind of experience of being surrounded and scolded. Then he thought about how he had spent so much effort to get rid of
Nanjing escorted tens of thousands of stones of rice and grain to Suzhou for emergency relief. When they got off the ship, they were treated like this by the people. They were so aggrieved that their eyes darkened, their chest felt tight, and they almost vomited blood.
But Mr. Li was so frightened that his face turned green and he was about to cry. What the hell is this? He was just trying to get scolded a few times, but he just waited for the boss to calm down and then tried to find ways to turn things around. Who would have thought that the people around him would be like this?
The people's sense of justice is so overwhelming that they actually defended him and caused such a drama. How will this end?
