Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 280 Difficulties (four thousand chapters)
It was late in the afternoon after returning from the Nanyun school grounds. As soon as he returned to the Prince's Mansion of Yunzhou County, Zhao Jun immediately ordered Wang Huai'en to call Fan Zheng and Li Yi over.

Not long after, the confused two hurried over.

On the way, both of them wanted to ask Wang Huai'en about the situation, but Wang Huai'en just shook his head and didn't tell them what he meant. The two of them had no choice but to follow to Yun Wang's mansion together.

As soon as he entered the reception hall, Li Yi saw Zhao Jun standing in the hall with a sullen face. Seeing the two people coming, he first nodded to Fan Zheng, and then he glanced coldly at himself. Said: "Come?"

Li Yi knew right away that he had suffered and it was only him who suffered, otherwise the prince would not treat the two of them differently.

But now I don't know what's going on, so I can only nod my head in embarrassment and respond: "Yeah, the prince is here."

"Humph!"

Zhao Jun snorted coldly, turned back to his seat and sat down.

Then he said to the two of them, "Sit down."

The two immediately sat down separately, waiting for Zhao Jun to speak.

Everyone was seated, Zhao Jun was not in the mood to be courteous to them now, he was always straightforward in his work, and he didn't bother to do unnecessary politeness, so he said bluntly: "Today, the king went to the military camp to present the flag, and everything went smoothly. , but after the flag was presented, the king heard something when he was discussing with the important general.

The army can't buy meat anymore! "

When Li Yi heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stood up and said: "My lord, I will definitely investigate when I go back. Those who dare not sell meat to the army will definitely give an explanation to the soldiers!"

Seeing his statement, Zhao Jun was not only not satisfied, but even more angry.

Originally, Zhao Jun thought that Li Yi knew about this matter, but he was procrastinating because he couldn't think of a solution, but looking at the current situation, it was obvious that he didn't know about it!
He is the sheriff of Yunzhou County, and he is in charge of the people's livelihood of the entire Yunzhou County. Yunzhou County is so short of meat. As the sheriff, he doesn't even know about it. This is simply dereliction of duty!
"Bastard!"

Zhao Jun slapped the table heavily and made a loud noise, which shocked Li Yi and Fan Zheng in the hall.

Fan Zheng, who was sitting on the side just now, also stood up abruptly, not daring to speak and stood silently by the side with his head bowed.

Li Yi was a little at a loss. He didn't understand what he said was wrong. Was his statement just now wrong?

Didn't you say that you will investigate this matter strictly?

Why is the prince still so angry?

"waste!"

Seeing him like this, Zhao Jun was so angry!

He immediately stood up, pointed at his nose and scolded: "Do you still not know what happened? Still think your statement is right, and think that the king has wronged you?"

Li Yi didn't speak, just stood there with his head down, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Zhao Jun poked his waist angrily and said: "As a sheriff of a county, it is your job to be in charge of the people's livelihood in a place, but look at what you have done?
What do you know, you don't even know what happened under your own rule, what use does the king need you for? !
Do you think this king just told you that someone will not allow the army to buy meat?
This king wants to see if you are clear about this matter!

But!You are fat I am disappointed!

Very disappointed! "

Zhao Jun scolded so dryly, he turned around and took a cup of tea and drank it down in one gulp.

Then he turned around and continued: "You are a marionette, right? You have to be manipulated by someone else to do things.

Did you know that Yunzhou County is completely short of meat now!

Otherwise, why do you think the army can't buy meat!
What makes me even more angry is that you don't even know about such a big thing!
You are dereliction of duty! "

Zhao Jun's words immediately shocked Li Yi. He was shocked not only that he didn't know that there was a panic in Yunzhou County, but also shocked by the word dereliction of duty that came out of Zhao Jun's mouth.

For an official, it is their bounden duty to do their job well, and it is undoubtedly an extremely severe reprimand to be judged as dereliction of duty by their superiors!
Li Yi hurriedly said: "My lord, I will go back immediately to understand the situation and find a way to solve this matter!"

But Zhao Jun waved his hands irritably and said: "No need, you, the sheriff, have only heard the news until now, what can you do to solve it, just be honest, I will deal with you later!"

After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Fan Zheng who had been silent since just now.

There was a wry smile on Li Yi's face, and he could only step back helplessly.

On Zhao Jun's side, Fan Zheng felt eyes falling on him, and in front of him, a pair of moon-white cloud pattern shoes appeared in his field of vision.

He knew that this was the prince walking in front of him, so he didn't dare to move and stood still.

Zhao Jun came in front of Fan Zheng, saw his nervous appearance, shook his head helplessly, sighed and said: "Director Fan, don't be alarmed, this king is looking for you today because Yunzhou has something to do with Fan Zheng. long to help."

Upon hearing this, Fan Zheng immediately cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Please show me, my lord!"

Zhao Jun nodded, and then said: "Yunzhou County is currently short of meat supply in a large area, so when I was in the army, someone thought of a way, that is to "borrow" from the Tatar tribes outside the country. This king thinks it is not good, so Decided to exchange food.

In this way, the king will allocate enough grain for you, and you also have experience. Use this batch of grain to send to the Tatar tribes, and temporarily exchange a batch of meat with them, and see if they agree. If they agree, it’s okay, I say There is no shortage of generals in the state and county now, just give them.

If you disagree..."

Zhao Jun didn't say much, but the cold light in his eyes made people palpitate.

Fan Zheng understood what his lord meant, his heart shuddered, and he nodded heavily: "I understand, I will arrange someone to do it immediately when I go back, and I will definitely give the lord an answer as quickly as possible."

"Ah, very good!"

Zhao Jun nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go back to work."

Fan Zheng nodded, saluted again, and then slowly exited the hall. Before leaving, he glanced at the sheriff who was standing beside him with a mournful face, shook his head slightly, and then left.

Seeing Fan Zheng leave, Li Yi couldn't help shivering, raised his head and looked at Zhao Jun with a flattering expression.

Zhao Jun just snorted coldly, and then said: "Hmph! As the head of a county, you don't even know the livelihood of the people under your rule. I don't know what you do for food!
When I go back next time, I will immediately investigate clearly for the king, to what extent is the panic now, and how much difference there is!

There is also when the panic started to appear, how long can you last with the current reserves of Yunzhou County, you can quickly check each item for me, do you understand it! "

Li Yi hurriedly nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! I will do it as soon as I get back!"

"Punish your salary for half a year, order to give you [-] boards, go down and get it yourself!
Don't say that this king doesn't care about your face as the sheriff, and after I go back and arrange things, I will allow you three days off! "

Li Yi wept and mourned, and thanked him respectfully.

"Thank you, my lord, I understand!"

Zhao Jun waved his hand impatiently and let him go down.

Li Yi had no choice but to leave the lobby step by step. When he walked out of the hall, Li Yi gave a wry smile and had to go to a place under the leadership of Wang Huai'en. Immediately after that, several big-waisted palace guards stripped off his trousers with a laugh. .

While pawing, he muttered in a low voice: "Hey, this is really strange. The brothers have never spanked the ass of such a high-ranking official as the sheriff. Today is the first time!"

"Hey, I heard from Wang Gonggong that he made the prince unhappy, and the prince punished him."

"That's it, it deserves it. I must have done something wrong to let the prince know. Brothers, please work harder and let him have a good memory!"

"nature!"

Hearing their mutterings in a low voice, Li Yi felt a burning pain on his face, followed by a chill from his buttocks, these Qiu Ba are not good people, they actually need to work harder!

bad luck!bad luck!bad luck!

Before he could finish complaining, the board fell heavily!
"Ow!..."

Immediately there was a crackling sound.

After half an hour, Li Yi limped out of the palace gate.

Seeing this, the young man in the mansion who was waiting outside the door hurried up to help.

"Oh my lord, what's the matter with you?"

Li Yi waved his hand weakly, signaling the boy not to ask any more questions, and with the help of the boy, he returned to the carriage, but he didn't dare to sit, so he climbed on the seat of the carriage and ordered weakly, "Go back to the Yamen!"

Seeing his appearance, the young man couldn't help persuading him: "Master, why not be inferior to the yamen today, let's go back and have a rest first."

Li Yi suddenly forced himself to speak angrily: "Didn't you hear what the county guard said? Go to the yamen!"

Seeing that the master was angry, the young man shrank his neck and said yes again and again, and soon drove the carriage to the sheriff's office.

After arriving at the sheriff's yamen, Li Yi didn't go in either, and asked the boy to call out his master bookkeeper, and asked him to wait outside the carriage, and arranged for him to check everything the prince had ordered, before returning home. Liaofu began to recuperate.

As for Fan Zheng, after he came out of Prince Yun's mansion, he immediately returned to the Yamen non-stop, summoned all the people who were in charge of continuing to exchange for war horses, and informed the prince's orders.

Let them mention these things to the Tartars in the next exchange, and see if it can be done.

Everyone agreed and quickly passed the news on.

So, within two days...

On the southern grassland, in a medium-sized tribe.

A Tatar businessman from Yunzhou County just finished trading a batch of war horses with this medium-sized tribe, and suddenly said to the khan of this tribe:

"Hezhen Khan, we are here today. Apart from the matter of war horses, there is another deal that I want to discuss with Khan. I wonder if Khan agrees?"

Hezhe Khan, who was about to leave, stopped immediately when he heard this, frowned and asked suspiciously: "What deal?"

The Tatar businessman immediately smiled and said, "Hezhe Khan, we want to exchange some grain with you for some cattle and sheep to go back. Is it convenient?"

"Cows and sheep?"

Hezhe Khan was stunned. The other party came to the tribe so many times, but he never said that he would exchange cattle and sheep. The goal of the other party's visit was obvious, which was for war horses.

And what comes out is that if the cattle and sheep are traded, the number will be too large. Now more and more Tatar troops are coming to the southern grasslands. So many cattle and sheep are rushing to Yunzhou County in a grand manner, which is too easy to be discovered. up.

It would be bad if Wang Ting knew what they did!

Thinking of these, Hezhe Khan immediately wanted to refuse.

Food is good, but you have to live to get it!

But before he could speak, the Tatar businessman spoke again: "Khan, this is what our prince personally ordered, if you refuse, it will be difficult to do business when you go back.

You don't know, our prince has a bad temper and tends to act impulsively.

You said that we have traded so many times, this time is not bad this time, why bother to hurt everyone's peace because of such a trivial matter? "

He Zhe's eyes narrowed instantly.

"Are you threatening Ben Khan?"

The Tatar businessman just smiled.

"I'm just analyzing the pros and cons for Khan."

The atmosphere became tense in an instant!

After a long time, Hezhe Khan said coldly:

"It's not that Ben Khan doesn't want to trade. You also know how many tribes have gathered from the southern grasslands. Is it not as good as before?

There are so many people, if you go with a lot of cattle and sheep in such a grandiose way, then just a little investigation, the Great Khan will be able to find out the tricks between us.

At that time, our entire Hezhe Department will probably be wiped out. "

Hearing this, the Tatar businessman also frowned. This is indeed a problem.

Cattle and sheep are much more conspicuous than horses. They trade only a few hundred horses at most, but according to the news from Yunzhou County.

There is a lot of meat needed, and each transaction may cost thousands of cattle and sheep.

With such a large number, one or two times is fine, and the number of times is too many, plus many of the same race are doing something, the possibility of being discovered is indeed too great.

At that time, not only the Tatar tribes who cooperated with them will suffer, but even they may not be able to leave with the cattle and sheep intact.

There must be a way to do it!
Thinking of this, the Tatar businessman did not continue to embarrass Hezhe Khan.

Slightly bowed and saluted:
"What Khan said is that this is indeed a problem. After going back to report it next time, let's see if there is a solution. This time it is troublesome for Khan. The villain is in charge. The rest of the tea brought this time will be given to Kehan ​​for free. sweat!
Hope Khan calm down! "

Seeing that he didn't continue to embarrass himself, Hezhen Khan was also relieved.

It's not that he has no temper, it's that the Hezhe Department really needs the things they traded with the Hezhe Department.

As for the final gifts from the other party, Hezhe Khan was also quite satisfied with it, for he was a man who knew how to do business.

Dang even shook his head and said nothing, then left with a smile.

And the Tatar businessman smiled and waited for Hezhe Khan to leave, his face instantly wrinkled, he smiled, shook his head and waved his hand, then took his men and the dozens of war horses back to Yunzhou County. .

When he returned to Yunzhou County, Fan Zheng also frowned when he talked about the difficulties.

Then he hurried to the palace to ask for help.

When Zhao Jun learned that Fan Zheng had come to see him, he thought it was the end of the matter.

I am a little happy.

When the people were welcomed in and heard about their intentions, they also frowned.

This is indeed a difficult problem. Even if the other party agrees, how can they bring back so many cattle and sheep openly?
