Chapter 146

Chaling County borders You county and is located in the east of you county.

According to the records of the five emperors, Emperor Yan Shennong was buried at the end of the tea town The recorded tea town is in Chaling County. The tea of Chaling county is very famous in Changsha County.

From high officials to peddlers, they all like to drink tea from Chaling County.

Chaling county is mountainous, with mild climate, abundant rainfall, and cold winter, so the tea on the mountain has enough light time, and the tea is fragrant.

The people of Chaling County have always been proud.

Because of this, the county magistrate's life is very comfortable, the people are rich, live and work in peace and contentment, which is the best situation.

But in recent days, county magistrate Su Rong is not happy.

Su Rong is in his late fifties. He looks thin. Because he is well maintained, he is quite strong. He was honest and upright, and he fought for the interests of the people everywhere. The people also loved Su Rong very much.

However, many squires and families in Chaling County went to you county to buy land one after another, which gave Su Rong a headache.

At the same time, many businessmen in Chaling county also went to you county to buy their homes.

The agriculture of Chaling county is not good. It depends on tea and businessmen. Once the businessmen leave, the business will inevitably fall, and the tax revenue of the government will also be affected. The present situation is very favorable to you County, but it is harmful to Chaling County.

Su Rong considers not only the business, but also the common people.

The people of Chaling County will not leave Chaling County for the time being. Next year, the major families and squires of Chaling County will start farming in you county. Once the people of you county are in short supply, some people of Chaling County will go to you county to farm. This is really bad news for Su Rong.

When the merchant left, the business went down.

When the people left, Su Rong's officials were expected to come to an end.

In order to stop it, Su Rong broke his head and didn't come up with a solution.

In the study, Su Rong summoned the county magistrate and the chief bookkeeper to discuss the matter.

The county magistrate is also a headache. He has discussed it for many times, but it has not come to a conclusion. It is worrying and even more troublesome. He thought about it and suggested, "Xian Zun, you county can reclaim farmland. In Chaling County, why not? "

Su Rong didn't even think about it, but directly retorted: "the situation in you county is special. Because of the severe famine, countless people are not satisfied with their clothes. As long as the government provides food for disaster relief, they are willing to reclaim farmland. They didn't get much food, they could only get him through. But because of the famine in you County, the people don't have many ideas. "

"In Chaling County, most of the people are tea farmers. Many people's families are not too rich, but they are not too poor. Who will reclaim farmland for a little grain? "

Su Rong sighed: "the most important thing is that Chaling County can't produce tens of thousands of stone grains, and it can't give Liu Xiu the condition of not levying taxes. The situation in Chaling county does not need to be improved, and the same method can not achieve the same effect. "

Master Book smashes, smashes mouth, way: "adult, might as well let them go."

The county magistrate also said, "I think so, too."

Both the chief bookkeeper and Xian Cheng were very worried, and the discussion was fruitless for a long time. They were too agitated.

Su Rong still shook his head and said, "if people are not far sighted, there must be immediate worries. This matter must be solved. In a way, the departure of businessmen will lead to the transfer of money from Chaling county to you County, which will have a huge impact on Chaling County. "

With an expression of helplessness, the county magistrate turned his eyes and suddenly said, "since we can't think of a solution, we should simply set up checkpoints in the areas bordering the two sides. We can only allow people to enter and not allow people or businessmen to go to you county."

Su Rong shook his head and said, "it's too influential."

County Cheng also rolled his eyes and said, "Xian Zun, this is not good, that is not good, there is no way."

Su Rong's temper was excellent, but he still didn't get angry. He continued: "think again, think again, we must solve this matter."

The county magistrate and the master looked at each other, but they were even more helpless.

Su Rong added: "if this matter is not solved, Chaling County will inevitably be in trouble from next year. At that time, you county will surely have a bumper harvest of taxes and grain next year, while Chaling County will suffer a sharp decline, which is absolutely not allowed. "

"County magistrate, if you can't find a solution, please go to the governor for mediation," he suggested

Su Rong said: "You county has not targeted Chaling County. Do you think it is possible?"

After listening, the master sighed.

Su Rong took a deep breath and said, "if you can't think of a way, just follow my way."

On hearing this, the county magistrate and the chief bookkeeper showed a happy look on their faces. As long as it's the plan of the county master, they don't refute it. In this way, there will be no argument.

Up to now, both of them have been exhausted and do not want to toss again.

Su Rong said: "first, set up checkpoints at the border to prohibit the people of Chaling County from entering you County; second, inform the merchants and squires of Chaling county to postpone their purchase of land in you County; third, send one person to you county to resell their land and stir up the price. As long as the prices of farmland in you county are in disorder and the merchants are not profitable, they will not have other ideasAfter hearing this, the county magistrate and the chief bookkeeper looked at each other with a look of surprise in their eyes. This plan is a bit sinister, because it will further disturb you county and offend Liu Xiu.

Su Rong had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "there's no other way. We can only use this kind of strategy and carry it out."

"No!"

The county magistrate and the master nodded and agreed.

……

You County, county.

During this period of time, the cultivated farmland in you county was constantly sold. With the solution of the financial problems and the abundance of grain, the people who reclaim farmland get two liters of grain from one liter at the beginning.

In a short time, the people of you county came out of the famine.

County government, county government office.

Kuai Qi is sitting in the office hall, dealing with the latest government affairs.

Now, after the readjustment of the petty officials in the county government, the efficiency and means of handling affairs have been restored to fairness and justice. Kuai Qi put his government affairs under different categories.

His business is also a lot easier.

However, Kuai Qi looked at several bamboo slips in succession, and his face became dignified gradually.

The contents of the bamboo slips are very simple. Many farmlands reclaimed in Youxian county were bought and sold as soon as they were reclaimed. Many of the things that have been sold are also bought at high prices and then sold at higher prices.

This kind of situation happened constantly. After the news spread in you County, countless businessmen's minds floated.

It's the idea of many businessmen to buy and then sell to make money.

What follows is the chaos of the market.

Kuai Qi realized that the situation was unusual, and immediately called a group of petty officials from the county government to the Department Government. Then he looked at the people under his command and said in a deep voice, "one day, find out who is behind the scenes and make trouble in you county."

They all went down to carry out the order.

The power of the government was mobilized, and a day's time and complete information were put on Kuai Qi's desk.

Kuai Qi's eyes were even more dignified after he saw it.

The bamboo slips are very simple. There are three people from Chaling County, a neighboring county, who are behind the scenes to stir up the situation in you county. After verification, the three have been controlled.

After Deng Zhan's interrogation, according to their confessions, Su Rong, the magistrate of Chaling County, ordered them to do so.

Why does the magistrate of Chaling County aim at you county?

Kuai Qi did not think clearly about this situation. But now when it comes to the fight between the two counties, Kuai Qi dares not delay. He immediately gets up and goes to Liu Xiu's study.
