Lord Moyu was forced to open

"General, there is movement over there!"

In the middle of the night, a man in black quietly walked into Li Dingguo's camp and reported respectfully.

Li Dingguo, who was lying on the bed, immediately turned over and sat up, stretched out his hand, and a letter was delivered to him immediately.

When he opened it, the corners of Li Dingguo's mouth twitched slightly. At this time, the Zhao family wrote a letter to Wang Kai, the magistrate of Huangshan Mansion.

"Can you guarantee that it will be sealed and packaged back?" Li Dingguo asked.

The man in black nodded: "We are professional, small problem."

Li Dingguo immediately handed the letter back: "Okay, then send it to the person who should deliver it!"

The man in black asked with some doubts: "Why don't you intercept this letter, so that we can delay Zhou Shilang a little bit later."

Li Dingguo shook his head: "It is one thing for us to help Zhou Lin this time, but the prince also gave us another task.

When the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce expanded to Bian'an County, it encountered obstacles. The problem was the Zhao family. The Zhao family almost monopolized all industries in the entire Bian'an County. Other chambers of commerce could not get in if they wanted to, and the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce was the same.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, we must at least stretch our hands into Huangshan Mansion.

As for Zhou Shilang, we will help him solve the problem, but we also need to use him to complete this matter. "

The man in black suddenly nodded, "Understood!"

Immediately the man in black withdrew from the tent, and Li Dingguo looked at the tent that had fallen into darkness again, his eyes flickered and he fell into thought.

The next day!

Just after eating early in the morning, and the prisoner was just starting to work, suddenly there was a huge noise at the construction site.

A few officials in charge of taking care of the construction site ran to Zhou Lin's side panting, and hurriedly said: "Zhou Shilang! Whew...wheeze, no...it's not good, there are troubles outside, and our construction site has been surrounded, so we are not allowed to repair the embankment!"

An official with a mustache was the first to tell the story.

"what!"

Zhou Lin was startled, stood up suddenly from the ground, and said angrily: "Who dares to obstruct the court's work? Don't they know that this is the embankment ordered by the court? What right do they have to stop it?!"

The mustache officer scratched his head when he heard the words, but couldn't tell why.

Seeing this, Zhou Linneng snorted heavily, then put on his cloak, and walked outside with big strides.

……

"Get them out! These criminals are not allowed to stay in Bian'an County, drive them out!"

"Yeah... get them out!"

There was a burst of noise, and some people were holding a big flag in their hands. Maybe they couldn't understand what the flag meant?
However, they still followed without hesitation to make trouble!
"Brother Li, Brother Li, can we do this? Isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?
If the court pursues it, won't we be dead? "

Someone in the crowd said worriedly.

The brain called Brother Li shook his head indifferently when he heard the words, and said, "Don't panic! It's not like we are the only ones doing these things, don't we all do one thing like this?
We blend in the crowd and are not conspicuous, what is there to be afraid of?

Besides, this work was arranged by the county government, and we were specially asked to come here to do things. It is already obvious who is the real mastermind behind this.

Do you dare to fight against the Zhao family? "

Hearing this, the person who asked the question just now shut up immediately, and continued to protest along with the others.

……

Hurrying to the outside of the construction site, they saw that the entire construction site had been surrounded by the people, and they were yelling loudly to drive the captives away.

Looking at the turbulent scene, Zhou Lin knew that they were not opposing the prisoners to repair the embankment.

They were clearly ordered by the Zhao family to not allow them to build the embankment.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Lin frowned deeply. The officials around him were about to drive the people away, but Zhou Lin waved his hands and strode forward.

"Everyone! Everyone, listen to me!"

Amidst the din, Zhou Lin's voice, who was using a trumpet, was exceptionally conspicuous.

Everyone was silent for a while, and when they turned their heads, they immediately saw Zhou Lin in official robes.

As soon as they saw the official robes, they wanted to shrink back after being influenced by the idea of ​​people not fighting against officials for a long time, but the people who had specially arranged in the crowd stabilized the situation.

"Who are you? Why should you stop us! Don't think that you are great just because you are an official. There are royal laws in the Huangshan Mansion, and everything must be done according to the royal laws!"

This sounded no problem, but the people who were driven here understood it in an instant.

This is obviously to use the power of the Zhao family to tell everyone that this is Bian'an, and the Zhao family is the Wang Fa here, so what about wearing official uniforms?
As long as you fight against the Zhao family, it won't work even if the king of heaven comes!
The people who understood the hint immediately put away their fears and stabilized their flustered hearts just now.

Zhou Lin in front of him replied after hearing what the senior man said: "My official, Zhou Lin, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry of the Song Dynasty, was ordered by the emperor to repair and strengthen the embankment of the Bianhe River in Bian'an County, so as to prevent the embankment from breaking during the spring flood, and then the whole Bian'an County will be reduced to Zeguo!

And according to your demands, you are opposed to using captives to build dikes, so if they are not used, who will I use?
I believe many of you know me.This official has also gone to various townships and counties to recruit people to repair embankments, but the big guys are not willing to give any.

Now, I have found a manpower, but you are making trouble again, what does this mean? "

Speaking of this, Zhou Lin was already a little angry:

"Could it be that the embankment was built for me?

It’s not because the imperial court was afraid that the embankment would burst and you people living here would not be able to survive, so it was built. Why did you come to stop it instead of helping?

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm speaking from my heart today, don't you feel guilty? ! "

The people who were still yelling just now quieted down in an instant, many of them showed guilt on their faces, and some of them looked helpless.

Everyone is not stupid. Naturally, they know the benefits to them after the embankment is repaired, and they also know that it is for their own good, and they should not stop it.

But the higher-ups have spoken, and the yamen in charge of them has spoken, and they have to do it.

The local yamen is always in charge of them on weekdays. If they don't follow the yamen's wishes, and the yamen casually wear some shoes for them in the future, they may not be able to stand it!

And the yamen here undoubtedly listen to the Zhao family!

Not only because of the great power of the Zhao family in Bian'an County, the Zhao family also almost monopolized the officialdom in Bian'an County.

Nearly half of the officials in Bian'an County are descendants of the Zhao family.

Under such circumstances, how dare these officials in Bian'an County not listen to the Zhao family's wishes?

Gritting his teeth, he was cruel.

After considering the reality, the people still chose to bow to reality.

"Get rid of the rioters in Daxing County, and don't let them stay in Huangshan Mansion. They are all unstable elements, and they will pose a threat to Huangshan Mansion!"

"Get rid of the rioters! Drive away the rioters! Drive away the rioters!"

……

The people of Huangshan Mansion, who had been quiet for a while just now, became noisy again. No matter what Zhou Lin said, they waved the messy farm tools in their hands to rush in to drive away the captives who were building the embankment.

Zhou Lin tried his best to persuade him again, but these people were completely unmoved.

They all understand the truth, but the reality makes them have to do things with their conscience behind their backs!

suddenly!

thump!
After a simple sound, the originally noisy scene became extremely quiet in an instant.

Everyone looked at the same place in disbelief.

The place where Zhou Lin knelt down straight!
Zhou Lin, a majestic left servant of the Ministry of Industry, actually knelt down in the direction of the people of Huangshan Mansion!
These people could hear Zhou Lin's self-introduction just now, but now everyone was stunned after seeing this scene!
This is a court official!
The left servant of the Ministry of Industry!

He actually knelt down!Kneel down to the people!

What an astonishing thing!
It was a bolt from the blue!

Everyone stared blankly at this place, stopped all movements in their hands, and focused all their attention on the kneeling middle-aged man.

"Zhou Shilang? You! You are..."

The officer next to Zhou Lin looked at the scene in disbelief.

After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly came back to his senses. After subconsciously asking this sentence, he wanted to step forward to help Zhou Lin up.

However, Zhou Lin waved his hand, directly not allowing them to approach, only to see Zhou Lin make an even more unexpected move.

He actually slammed down heavily in the direction where the people of Huangshan Mansion were!
boom!
The sound of the forehead colliding with the ground seemed to resound in the hearts of everyone, it was inexplicably shocking!
Then he heard him say:

"Everyone! I beg you! Don't obstruct the embankment. It won't be long before the spring flood. If the embankment is not repaired before the spring flood comes, the whole Huangshan Mansion and Bian'an County will be ruined!
This officer also knows your difficulties, but which is more important!

If you continue to block it, I will not be harmed, but the millions of people in the entire Bian'an County will be harmed. If the river bursts and the water and fire are ruthless, don't you understand how many people will be displaced?
If you can stop me today, who will stop the torrential flood when the embankment bursts tomorrow?
Who can save Bian'an County, which is about to be flooded at that time? "

The arena was extremely quiet, and no one spoke. I don't know if it was Zhou Lin's words or his actions that shocked everyone, so no one dared to speak at this time.

suddenly!

Someone slammed the big flag in his hand to the ground.

"Damn it! I quit! This is clearly forcing us to kill ourselves with our own hands!

At that time, those of them who are officials will run away by themselves, and those with big families and careers can start all over again at any time after the water recedes!

What about us?
If we are flooded, who cares about our lives!
I quit!Love so and so! "

"Yes! Quit it!

Damn it!His Zhao family has delicious food and drink, but let us do this kind of thing of giving birth to a son without an ass hole, why! "

"But...but if we don't follow the instructions of the Zhao family, we won't be able to survive. Everything in this city belongs to the Zhao family. If we don't follow the instructions of the Zhao family, we won't even be able to buy an embroidery needle.

There is nowhere to spend money! "

These words immediately calmed down the crowd who were still excited just now, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them.

Yes, this is reality.

If it weren't for the fear of such a situation, who would appear here.

Zhou Lin listened to everyone's words with a miserable smile on his face.

This is indeed an unsolvable problem. If there is no way to solve this problem, the common people will continue to follow the Zhao family all the way to the dark.

And it is impossible for me to let the Pingwa army suppress the people. This is the people of the entire Huangshan Mansion. If I really do that, I will repair the embankment and go back.

It is not surprising that he was taken down by His Majesty!

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, suddenly a laugh sounded in the field:

"Don't panic, everyone, his Zhao family is not the only one doing business in this world!

If the Zhao family doesn't do your business, then our Feiyun firm will do it! "

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked, and hurriedly turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

At this time, everyone realized that at some point, a luxurious carriage came behind them, and a fat man jumped out of the carriage with a smile on his face like a Maitreya Buddha.

This fat man was covered in silk, his fingers were covered with rings, and a big gold chain around his neck was as thick as someone's thumb!
There are seven or eight large gold bracelets on each wrist, covering the entire arm, properly dressed as a local tyrant!

Just this attire instantly blinded everyone's eyes, and what he said just now made everyone look over in puzzlement.

The fat man took two steps forward with a smile, bowed his hands to the crowd, and said loudly to the crowd in his thick and clear voice:
"Morning, everyone, you are rich in Shimoda, and Tian is the big shopkeeper of the Huangshanfu branch of Feiyun Commercial Bank!

Anyone who has been to Fucheng and various counties in the near future should know that a place in each county and Fucheng has been surrounded and built a huge three-story building.

That's right!That is the Feiyun Mall newly launched by our Feiyun Commercial Bank!

Starting today, the Feiyun Mall in the entire Huangshan Mansion has officially opened. In the Feiyun Mall, there are everything from rice noodles, grains, oil, needles, thread corners, to large furniture!

If you are worried that Zhao's shop will no longer sell anything to you in the future, you may as well come to my Feiyun Mall!
In the mall, not only everything is complete, you can buy all the things you need in the mall, and the price is cheap and fair.

All items are at the same market price as the surrounding counties, and the profit is extremely low. They rely on small profits but quick turnover to make money. If you buy it, you will definitely make it!

......"

Tian Youcai continuously introduced everything about Feiyun Mall to everyone. Everyone's eyes sparkled, and they all felt fresh, thinking that there was still such a place.

But looking at Tian Youcai's appearance of a local tyrant, he felt that this fat man wouldn't lie to himself if he was so rich, right?

Thinking this way, with confidence in his heart, he was no longer afraid of the Zhao family.

Everyone began to surround Ueda Youcai and ask about various matters about the mall. Tian Youcai was also prepared for this, and with a wave of his hand, a trained specialist immediately answered everyone's doubts.

Others left one after another, some went home, some ran to the nearest county town to see if such a shopping mall really existed.

Dozens of people with embarrassing faces and flags in their hands were left alone standing there at a loss. They were all specially recruited to guide the crowd, and it can be said that they were specially sent by the Zhao family to make trouble.

As soon as the common people ran away, it was obvious that they were so obvious. Zhou Lin didn't show any sympathy. He got up and waved his hands.

At this time, Tian Youcai, who had relieved Zhou Lin just now, walked towards Zhou Lin with a smile.

Zhou Lin frowned when he saw Tian Youcai's attire, but when he thought that he had just helped him, he put down his prejudice against businessmen and greeted him with a smile.

"Servant Zhou!"

"Treasurer Tian!"
