Five hundred and forty-eight chapters a little guilty

Li You stood in the lobby of Taisheng Coal Shop, and his sergeants tied up the shopkeepers. When he was about to drag them away, he suddenly heard a greeting from behind: "Master Li, why are you so cruel to the people!"
Li You heard the sound and turned back, only to see someone walking in. Ella Bookstore.
k This person is in his mid-thirties, with a fair complexion, wrapped in a cloak to keep warm. On his head is a typical prison-style three-mountain hat. The brim of the hat is inlaid with a piece of white jade of unknown material. A pair of warm ears cover half of his cheeks.
He was followed by two eunuchs waiting on him.
Looking at this posture, Li You could guess that this must also be a respectable father-in-law, most likely from the Xixin Company. He did recognize him, but he did not recognize him.
"Huang Yong, our salary-cherishing secretary, is it Li Qianxian who is in front of you?" The eunuch walked in front of Li You, raised his hand in greeting, and introduced himself in a gentle and gentle manner, just like a scholar.
Mr. Li had just seen the name Huang Yong on the receipt. He was the deputy of the You Division and the eunuch stationed in the West Factory. He was the person responsible for the Xixin Division in this hoarding incident. Now the name matched the name.
At the same time, Mr. Li was secretly wary. According to historical experience, internal prison guards who look like scholars are difficult to deal with.
Li You raised his hand slightly and returned the greeting casually: "Eunuch Huang, it's a good thing you came in time!"
"The coal situation is tense today, so our Xixin Division sent people to patrol the coal market. Although they knew that Mr. Li was coming, they were still late to welcome him." Deputy Huang went to the Taisheng Coal Shop and led all the people who were tied up.
With a hint of pity, he said: "I heard that there is a disturbance at the Xishan Coal Kiln, so our company will collect a batch of coal for later use. If Mr. Li has any objections, you can just come to the Xixin Division, so there is no need to suffer for the people."
This tone is too hypocritical. Li You said with a barb in his words: "Eunuch Huang's words are unavoidable. The expense of the government is naturally crucial, but you have been doing this for hundreds of years, so you should have your own benefits."
According to the law, we should at least understand how much charcoal is appropriate to store. Are the factories unable to cope with even one chaos in charcoal storage? Do they still need to compete with the public for coal in the market?
Then it means that you slaves are too lazy and incompetent! Or, because of some shady reason, the charcoal stored in the palace has never been enough. You will panic at the slightest sign of trouble? You are so neglectful of affairs, which makes me very worried about Your Majesty.
, I really should write a memorial and ask Your Majesty to find out the reason why!"
Eunuch Huang was almost at a loss for words. Mr. Li was indeed very eloquent! He cupped his hands in the direction of the palace and replied loyally: "We are not afraid of ten thousand, but we are afraid of the worst. We have enough charcoal from the Xixin Department, but we still don't have enough charcoal."
You dare to be careless and take chances, so you have to be prepared, just in case. This is all done for the emperor, is it wrong?"
Mr. Li's status in the world is still much higher than that of the right deputy of the Xixin Division. If he were an official with lower qualifications or a slightly shallower background, he would not dare to confront Li You like this.
However, eunuchs have their own system, and they directly obey the orders of the royal family. They are the slaves of the Tian family. Eunuch Huang's status is not as good as that of Li You, but Li You needs to get the owner to beat the dog, and he cannot deal with him without authorization. With this confidence, he will not be yin or yang in person.
It's nothing to talk back to.
"So you are openly disturbing the people under the guise of heaven? You have to make the people excited? Who just kept saying why the people are suffering?" Li You mocked.
"What happens to the people? That's your officials' business, not something that our internal supervisors should consider. Don't you always think so? We in the Salary Department only know how to be loyal to the Lord and don't care about anything else. This is also within our responsibilities.
Things are not under the control of the government."
This Eunuch Huang's attitude was very tactful, which made Mr. Li suspicious. He was not an ordinary fifth-grade official, how could he be treated like this? Isn't it the right way to communicate with him with kind words? Could it be that his reputation is still there?
Not loud enough?
Recently, he was "wooed and befriended" by Princess Gui De, the former supervisor of the palace, and he had friendship with Wu Guang'en, the eunuch of Bingbi, one of the three giants of the internal eunuchs. Eunuchs with limited knowledge may not know about these interpersonal relationships, but Huang Yong
How could this kind of eunuch who has become the deputy director of one of the twenty-four yamen of the eunuchs not know?
This matter is becoming more and more obvious. It is indeed Xixinsi and these big coal shops who are colluding with each other to seek huge profits. However, after asking the other party's attitude clearly, Li You is too lazy to continue talking nonsense. He can't control Xixinsi, but unfortunately Xinsi can't control it.
He! It would be good to use this matter to build up his reputation.
He also ordered: "Take all the people in the store to the government office! The store will be sealed for the time being! And a notice will be posted in the coal market to let other coal shops know about it, as a warning!"
Compared with the previous order, Li You's order lacked the sentence "hand over the coal in the store to the Xicheng Army and Horse Department for sale", but sealed it first, and then determined the direction of the wind. This was to avoid "stealing the palace supplies"
” and other excuses.
Moreover, Mr. Li only banned Taisheng Coal Shop and took no specific action against other coal shops with the same hoarding behavior. He only issued a warning. Naturally, he has his own reasons.
If all coal shops are banned, the action will be too big and the implications will be too wide, and the consequences may not be bearable. You must know that in the big business in the capital, there is always a lack of powerful figures. Even the coal mines as far away as Xishan were originally
The dignitaries went to dig and mine coal first. If there were only two families, Li You could handle it with his status in the world, but if he provoked public outrage or provoked some latent enemy without knowing it, then it would not be possible.
So wonderful.
But after such a turmoil, if Lord Li, who is responsible for the stability of the capital, does nothing, he may be blamed for dereliction of duty again. This is something that Lord Li, who regards his official reputation as a treasure, cannot tolerate.
Therefore, Li You's strategy is to severely ban the Taisheng Coal Shop, the largest one, with great fanfare, and then warn the others, euphemistically calling it "killing the chicken and giving it to the monkey". He can also explain to others that they cannot "kill without teaching", and even more
To prevent others from impeaching him for "dereliction of duty".
As for whether other coal shops will listen, that is another matter. What to do next, whether to strictly investigate or treat it leniently, you have to take it one step at a time. The most important thing is to report to heaven and obey it. Only in this way can you see the trick.
Dismantle the recruitment. Of course, if all other coal shops are frightened and take the initiative to start business, then everyone will be happy...
Outsiders only see the majesty of officials with real power. In fact, many times it is not easy to do things. You have to carefully weigh the left and right to protect yourself wisely. "Making decisions for the people" is not as simple as imagined, and it is not that shouting a few slogans can lead to everything.
The premise is to protect yourself first, as the old saying goes, Hai Rui is just a special case.
Regardless of gossip, Huang Yong saw that Mr. Li was going to take serious action against Taisheng Coal Shop, probably because he was worried about causing a chain reaction, so he quickly stopped him.
But Li You pushed him aside arrogantly and reprimanded: "This is a matter within the responsibilities of this procuratorate and has nothing to do with the Department of Cherishing Salaries. How dare Eunuch Huang exceed his authority and interfere in government affairs!"
I don't know when, but gradually, a lively crowd gathered at the gate. Most of them were shopkeepers, assistants and servants who came from the nearby coal shop after hearing the news. They were also most concerned about the situation here, so they started to make noise together.
"What kind of crime is there in fair trading? We are willing to sell coal and save fuel. How can you, your lord, take care of so much!"
"This sir is making no sense! Trading prices rise and fall. Everything else can go up, but coal prices can't go up?"
"It's unfair for the government to bully coal merchants! Are they forcing me to wait for a strike to close the market?"
"That's all! I'll wait until the business closes down!"
Deputy Huang looked a little proud and said to Li You: "If the public opinion is like this, Mr. Li should think twice before acting rashly, and do not act rashly. There has been chaos in Xishan, and the coal market is tense. At least there is no chaos yet.
If there is another chaos in the coal market, the capital will definitely be unstable. Regardless of whether Mr. Li is at fault or not, I am afraid that he will be pushed out by the court to hold him accountable, in order to appease people's hearts."
Mr. Li said that as an idol and a powerful actor, he rarely encounters being booed by the people and feels very strange. Is this all secretly found by Eunuch Huang?
But they are all a group of people who don't care about life and death. This scene was left behind by him, Li You! However, he came in a hurry today, with about twenty people around him, and he had to find someone to take care of the criminals in Taisheng Coal Shop and protect his safety.
Firearms are not powerful enough to suppress crowds by force.
Master Li ordered the people around him without thinking: "You go out with weapons and shout along the street, saying that I am investigating and punishing profiteers, but here you are being besieged by profiteers, asking for help from you good people!"
Who is afraid of whom in this world? There are many anxious people on the street outside who cannot buy coal. Li You, an official, stood up and shouted, giving the people a sense of justice. After the trend started, was he still afraid that a few profiteers would surround him?
It’s the profiteers who should be worried!
Sure enough, after listening to Li You's words, the crowd blocking the entrance of Taisheng Coal Shop dispersed in a hurry, rushing back to their respective shops as fast as possible, and closing and locking the doors to prevent chaos.
"Where is the public opinion?" Mr. Li asked, nodding to Deputy Huang.
But when the crowd rushed out, several people went upstream and struggled to separate from the crowd and entered the lobby of Taisheng Coal Shop.
The first ones were two domestic slaves, who tried their best to block the crowd from being crushed by their master, and opened the door curtain. Followed by them was an imposing man in his thirties, his face was a little pale due to the cold weather, but he still
She is not without beauty, and she is dressed in brocade clothes and mink fur, with gold and jade on her waist, which makes her look very gorgeous.
"Ha, it's so lively!" The man turned around at the door and sighed as the crowd dispersed. When he entered the lobby, his eyes adjusted to the dark environment, and suddenly the shopkeepers and clerks of Taisheng Coal Shop were bundled into a ball.
, and was immediately shocked.
His eyes moved to the side again, and when he saw Li You clearly, his handsome face suddenly twisted slightly, and he shouted a little rudely: "Li You! You are bullying others too much! You are bullying others too much!"
Damn! Why is it Lin’s consort whom he hasn’t seen for a long time? Li You was stunned and couldn’t help but take a step back. Listening to this tone, could this coal shop be run by Lin’s consort? Somehow, he feels a little unexplainable. Qun Academy
