Chapter 51 Surrender the whole month
One day later, Hangzhou, the location of the Governor's Office in Jiangnan.
A big whip show is being staged in the open space at the gate of the Governor's Mansion in Jiangnan.
I saw two men in their thirties rolling straight on the ground by several people holding whips.
They were still screaming in pain while rolling.
"I was wrong! I shouldn't have slandered Governor Liu!"
"Governor Liu, it's our fault that makes all the mistakes, and it has nothing to do with the Cao family!"
"sorry……"
“…”
There was a huge circle of people next to me at this time.
Someone is asking, what's going on? Why do some people dare to move hard at the gate of the Governor's Mansion in Jiangnan?
Then someone told them.
"These are both housekeepers of the Cao family in Huzhou. It is said that they think Governor Liu's request to buy grain is too domineering, so they fabricated the lie of "fake buying Japanese grain". They wanted to rely on everyone's public opinion pressure to make Governor Liu take it back."
"At that time, Master Cao was not at home. When he came back, things were out of control. Governor Liu's reputation was greatly hit. So Master Cao brought them over in person and apologized to Governor Liu!"
...
"Scared, the Cao family, is it the Cao family of Prime Minister Cao?"
"Yes, right, the one who was punished to stand at the door is Master Cao."
"Tsk tsk, Lord Liu is indeed powerful, even the Cao family has to apologize to him."
"Are you talking nonsense? Why shouldn't they apologize if they did something wrong? Prime Minister Cao's son cannot be unreasonable!"
"That's it! Our Governor Liu is more capable than Prime Minister Cao! Look at Dakang now. If we didn't have our Governor Liu in Jiangnan and we were in full support, would it be possible?"
"Hey! You said this... I don't know how to praise you!"
“…”
Sure enough, there were Cao's childcare in the crowd, who made a special statement and explained it to himself, which was also considered as giving in to Liu Renhuai.
Cao Suping stood under the steps, feeling ashamed and panicked.
Although Cao Yi was the prime minister of the current dynasty, Liu Renhuai had the final say in Jiangnan. Even the emperor could not scold Liu Renhuai for the matter of the Cao family.
Not to mention that the food collection is related to Quan Dakang's safety. It is really conceivable where the emperor's butt is sitting.
If the Cao family just secretly did not cooperate, that would be nothing.
But now Cao Suping stood up directly, not only scolded Liu Renhuai, but also openly exposed the "buying grain in Japan". No matter how you look at it, they are all against the emperor's strategy.
At that time, it is not only him who is unlucky, but even his father will lose points in front of the emperor.
So once he figured it out, he immediately rushed to Hangzhou overnight, came to the Governor's Office of Jiangnan to act and apologize.
Unfortunately, half an hour had passed. Although the two housekeepers were beaten severely, their blood was shot out, and the false screaming pain turned into real pain, the side door of the Governor's Mansion had not been opened.
Several yamen runners and soldiers watched the show motionlessly.
Cao Suping knew that Liu Renhuai was humiliating him, but he would never dare to leave.
Otherwise, this is giving Liu Renhuai an excuse to give him a chance to impeach his father.
How did the Cao family come about?
Isn’t it all thanks to Cao Yi as the prime minister in the capital?
What should the Cao family do if Cao Yi doesn’t become the prime minister?
...
I don’t know how long it took, but the screams behind me gradually stopped.
"No need, they are all my confidant assistants, there is nothing to hide." Liu Renhuai rejected him.
Originally, Liu Renhuai thought Cao Suping wanted to show him the letter with Cao Yi.
Unexpectedly, after being rejected by himself, Cao Suping directly took out a stack of thick letters and handed them out: "Governor General, these are the grain merchants and landlords I contacted a few days ago when I was confused. There were 62 families in total, and they all wrote me letters, and the content was very negative."
Cao Suping said this, which made Liu Renhuai look up at him for the first time.
A group of staff and officials looked up together and looked at him with surprise.
However, most of this kind of gaze is unfriendly.
Liu Renhuai put down the pen in his hand and signaled his subordinates to take it to him.
After turning a few pages, Liu Renhuai asked him, "Mr. Cao, what does it mean to give me these?"
Since Cao Suping has made it all, he is not afraid to say: "Sir, these people ignore the grace of the court, are reluctant to sell food, and openly slander the court's second-rank officials. They should be severely punished!"
"Oh?" Liu Renhuai smiled, "What about specific ones?"
Cao Su said without changing his expression: "Take all these documents in their faces, and then tell them whether to sell food honestly, or stay in the prison cell for a few days, and then check the source of their property. There is no third choice."
It's true!
What a scum!
The eyes of a group of staff and officials looking at Cao Suping have turned into contempt.
You went to get others to scold the Governor with you, but now you surrender and sell them!?
Liu Renhuai thought this guy was very interesting, "Your method is still OK, but I don't want to take action personally. This makes the food look too ugly. After all, threatening them to sell food is not a gentleman."
Cao Suping was stunned, and then his face became ugly.
Obviously, Liu Renhuai asked him to "persuade" the group of merchants to sell grain honestly.
Liu Renhuai is really cruel!
He forced himself to offend those people completely!
But since Cao Suping has come here, he must have thought of many possibilities, including this one.
Unexpectedly, it would still fall to this point.
Cao Suping lamented in his heart, but did not stop at all: "Sir, let me leave this matter! Within five days, I will let them sell the food honestly!"
Liu Renhuai said lightly: "How much can they sell?"
"No less than three million stones." Cao Suping stopped going around with him and directly reported his maximum ability.
"Yeah, it's very good." Liu Renhuai smiled, "Go and do it well!"
Cao Suping hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Sir, about me..."
"As long as you do well, I have not heard anything before, nor have I seen anything." Liu Renhuai interrupted him and responded in this way.
"Thank you sir!"
Cao Suping finally breathed a sigh of relief. After saluting, he turned around and left with great strides.
He didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment.
His life will be difficult next time, and every family has to visit him in person and use some tricks to trick them into getting food.
But no matter what, he is embarrassing the Cao family!
...
When he left, Gong Caibo next to him snorted coldly: "Sir, is it really that cheap to let him go?"
Liu Renhuai smiled slightly, "What if that's wrong?"
"Three million stones are too little. It's better for them to take out five million stones!" Gong Caibo said, "In addition, they have to apologize more solemnly, apologize for slandering you!"
"Apology is not necessary. They didn't tell lies, so I'm just pretending to be fake." Liu Renhuai said, "If it weren't for the emperor's sweet potato, this ugly, wouldn't we have made a memorial?"
"So, such a villain is not allowed to be spared." Another official said angrily, "What are we for? Are we for our own pockets? No! We are not even for the people of Jiangnan! But the poor people all over the world! He Cao Suping has no kindness at all, and is so cunning and ugly. He really should be cured!"
"right!"
"wonderful!"
"good!"
A group of staff and officials praised each other repeatedly.
Liu Renhuai didn't stop him. He knew that the mentality of these subordinates was very frustrated.
Now that I finally have time to vent, let them go.
After a while, when they saw them all stopping, Liu Renhuai said slowly: "I understand your feelings, but in this officialdom, there is no need to be too stiff.
In short, this is our benefit. Not only can the Cao family enter the warehouse for three million stones, but it can also enter the warehouse for another three million stones. In addition, we can almost get 15 million stones in the front. What's wrong with this?
What the court needs most now is food. With more food, our prosperous world will be stable. Compared with these benefits, what should I do with him, a child of an official?
When you are in power in the future, you must also remember that achieving your goals is the most important thing. As for face and hatred, they are secondary things, do you understand?"
"yes!"
Gong Caibo and others bowed and replied.
This is what Liu Renhuai can tell them. If someone else has changed to someone else, most of them will not be able to tell the secrets of officialdom and self-cultivation.
You have to struggle and suffer all your hardships before you gradually understand.
...
I wrote less yesterday, so I felt a little embarrassed. I wrote nearly 8,000 words this morning to compensate, but in the afternoon, I still had two chapters in the amount
Chapter completed!
