Chapter 137 Killing Xie Ji to be discouraged
"Do you think this traitor really showed his skills?"
"Can you not hand it over? The news has spread all over the capital. If you don't hand it over, the scolding will become more and more intense."
After Shen Yi left, many people came to see the notice.
"That man seems to have a point. Overnight, the whole capital knew about the traitor's secret method of increasing grain production. Isn't it strange?"
"Yes, it's a bit strange. However, more people still think that the traitor kept his secret method secretly and was forced to tell the public about it."
"I feel a little sorry for that traitorous minister."
"What's the point of pity? No matter what, he's still the prime minister, and the people who are suffering are the tools of their game."
Zhao Guogong Mansion.
"My lord, my lord, your chance has come."
The housekeeper of Zhao Yi's family ran in anxiously.
"What chance?" said Zhao Yi, who was covered in flesh and was hitting the scarecrow with a wooden stick.
There is a note on the scarecrow's head, and the word "Xie Ji" is very bright on the note.
"My lord, do you know what was reported outside today?"
When the housekeeper saw Zhao Yi pointing the wooden stick at him, he quickly avoided it, and then smiled happily.
"What did you say?" Zhao Yi said, if you talk nonsense I will beat you to death.
Damn Xie Ji, I must practice martial arts well and knock off Xie Ji's head.
I'll beat you, beat me, beat you. Peng's head was knocked off by Zhao Yi.
"It was rumored outside that Xie Ji had a method to increase grain production, and then he was scolded for wanting to keep that method for himself as the prime minister. Then Xie Ji immediately posted the method, and was scolded again, saying that he could not withstand the pressure. I posted it to avoid getting scolded."
The housekeeper's words were really eloquent, but it was a pity that Zhao Yi didn't appreciate it.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Tell me, is there any way to beat Xie Ji's head to the wrong side? Otherwise, I will beat your head to the wrong side."
Zhao Yi pointed the stick in his hand at the housekeeper to weigh it, and prepared to find a place to knock it down.
The housekeeper was so frightened that he immediately said: "My lord, please say goodbye first. Didn't Xie Ji contribute his method? Then we just need to prevent those people from growing food, right?"
Zhao Yi was stunned. This is a good method. As long as those untouchables use Xie Ji's method and get nothing, Xie Ji will be disabled even if he doesn't die.
"Okay, okay, tell me how you can make those people lose their income. If you come up with a way, I will give you a thousand pieces of gold. If you can't come up with it, you can act like Xie Ji and let me kill you to discourage you."
Zhao Yi said to the butler, and then continued to make one or two strokes on the butler's head with the stick.
"My lord, I have thought of a way."
The housekeeper said excitedly. Zhao Yi put down his stick and pulled the housekeeper's collar and said, "What can I do? Tell me quickly. As long as Xie Ji is solved, I will give you whatever you want."
"My lord, isn't that notice posted on the street? We just need to change the notice in the middle of the night so that those untouchables get a fake method, and then we will lose everything."
Zhao Yi asked suspiciously: "Are you sure about this business? Are you sure that Xie Ji won't find out?"
"My lord, if that doesn't work, there is another way. My lord, you can distribute food to the untouchables for free."
"What the hell is this? You're giving it to those untouchables for free. Believe it or not, I'm going to let you go underground to meet the Lord of Hell right now." When Zhao Yi heard this, he slapped the housekeeper to the ground. Damn it, he's giving it to those untouchables for free. Untouchables give food.
"My lord, please listen to what I have to say. Of course we are not taking advantage of those untouchables. We want to recover the costs. As long as we can bring Xie Ji down, those costs will be nothing to my lord."
The housekeeper slowly got up from the floor, and Zhao Yi asked: "How to deal with Xie Ji?"
Isn't it nonsense to send food to deal with Xie Ji? Is it to send food to those untouchables so that they can develop the habit of eating well and being lazy, so that they will not be able to grow food?
"My lord, the food given to those untouchables has been processed by us, so naturally it is not the kind of food that can be grown."
Seeing that Zhao Yi didn't understand it, the housekeeper continued, saying that this method would definitely make it invisible.
"Say." Zhao Yi was a little interested. If Xie Ji could die, then why not waste more food?
"My lord, as long as we cook all the grains given to the untouchables to three-quarters of a degree, and then selflessly give the three-cooked grains to the untouchables, saying that these are super seeds suitable for growing food."
When Zhao Yi heard this, he didn't know what to do.
"Okay." Zhao Yi clapped his hands and laughed, "That's great, steward, you are really my right-hand man. When that Xie Ji is dismissed, I will give you a thousand pieces of gold."
"Now, yes, right now, go and tell those untouchables that our country has a large amount of arable food, and it can be grown for free."
Zhao Yi said that this time he wanted to show Xie Ji how powerful he was, so that even if he had great luck, he would be defeated this time.
"My lord, don't worry yet. If you act blatantly, Xie Ji will definitely become suspicious. You can't tell them that the food is from your lord."
Zhao Yi suddenly realized that if it was the Xie Ji he sent, he would definitely investigate. If the investigation came out, not only would he not be able to deal with Xie Ji, but he would also have to be beaten up by Xie Ji.
"Tell me, what should I do?"
"Gonggong, you can do this...and do this again..." The housekeeper said a lot of words into Duke Zhao's ear.
"Okay, great, hurry up and do it. This time I want to make sure that Xie Ji never changes again."
Zhao Yi laughed heartily. He hadn't laughed like this for a long time. Sure enough, as long as there was a way to deal with that Xie Ji, it would be worthwhile.
After finishing the work, Shen Yi went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report to Xie Ji. The difference was that there was a follower behind him.
"Prime Minister." Shen Yi said to Xie Ji.
"I'm going to pay homage to the Prime Minister and all the big guys."
Mao He said, which made everyone laugh.
Boss?
"This storm started because of you. Will your normal food method work?"
Meng Tao looked at Mao He and asked, if it doesn't work, it will have a great impact on the prime minister.
Now, since the Prime Minister has revealed this method, we must ensure a bumper harvest, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
"It's useful, it's absolutely useful. You can question my character, but you can't question my attainments in this area. As long as I follow my steps, the increase in grain production is certain. I dare to guarantee this with my life."
Mao He said, this is what he said cannot be questioned.
"Okay, since you are so confident, let me trust you for once."
Xie Ji looked at him and said, I hope his method works, if not...
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Mao He said, now it was done.
In Changling County, Xu Bin was taught a lesson by Lin He and asked the district chiefs and township chiefs to come to the county government hall to talk. The hall was filled with many people, probably more than a hundred people.
"The Prime Minister's land restriction order has been issued, along with His Majesty's edict."
Xu Bin spoke first. As soon as these words came out, the faces of the village chiefs and township chiefs wrinkled.
"The edict states that this time a continuous sitting system will be adopted, the district chief must ensure the authenticity of the data, and the situation of each household cannot be falsified. If anyone is found to have falsified, he will be punished together with those who concealed the report."
"Similarly, the township chief must also analyze the information received by the village chief, and will be punished if there is any false report. Similarly, if the information you report is wrong, you will also be severely punished. Therefore, please do not make false claims for me.
Once discovered, severe punishment will not be spared."
Xu Bin said, Xie Ji's move is really amazing. Even if you want officials to protect each other, you have to consider human nature.
There will definitely be a lot of unjust, false and wrongful convictions caused by this, and many people will definitely be implicated. I didn’t expect that traitorous official to be so ruthless. Will there be problems if this continues?
Once a member of the public conceals a report, his superiors will punish him severely, right up to the top. This is a bit much.
However, this does allow those who have other ideas to control their desires.
"County Magistrate, this is what the edict really says. It's nonsense. Isn't this a step back from the violent Qin Dynasty?"
When someone heard this, they started to curse. This has never been done before, because people concealed information and officials were punished.
"Shut up. If you don't accept it, the Prime Minister is in the capital. Go and tell him that as long as you have the ability to make him change his mind, you can go. If you don't have the ability, don't act blindly here."
Xu Bin's temper was so annoying because he was constantly being disturbed these days, and Lin He was always supervising him. He couldn't do this or that.
Now it's hard to find a place to vent. Naturally, I want to vent. Who let them offend me?
