Husband and wife, living together and living together, are so in love.
See it.
He proposed it, but Liu Bei did not accept it.
Can you blame him?
And even if you don't accept it, you can't spread dog food like this, right?We are all brothers, what is this...
In fact, after listening to Fang Mo's narration, Liu Bei was tempted to a certain extent, but soon he knew that it was impossible.
So let's eat.
Chapter 138 is coming
The dishes are delicious, fresh and crispy braised pork with delicious green vegetables, plus a few delicious small cold dishes, combined with the clear mouth of tofu mixed with shallots, and the white and smooth soup of fresh fish, the people who eat it are very comfortable.
A pot of sweet wine was basically reimbursed by Liu Bei. He picked it up and poured a glass, took a sip, and then went to look at his wife on the left and Fang Mo on the right, very proud.
Once, he was so humble, not much better than ordinary people.
But at this time, he has a wife and three powerful brothers. Some help him to train soldiers to catch bandits outside, and some advise him at home.
This kind of life, just one word, beautiful!
Satisfied, he pushed all the money out without feeling sorry for him.
To be honest, he doesn't think too much about money. Maybe people at this time are like this. Money is like dirt, and only rights are what men should pursue.
And he has succeeded.
Sheriff.
Compared with two thousand stones, he might be able to step into the court hall in the future.
As long as he solves the troubles here and contributes more to the country, he will definitely be able to.
Suddenly, he thought of one thing: "That's right."
"Recently, some people in the court said that the officials who have been arranged by the war are not worthy of virtue and need to be continuously and detailedly checked. At that time, the court will send people over. I don't know how we should deal with it?"
Superintendent? !
After Fang Mo heard this, his first reaction was these two words.
Historically, Liu Bei once became the magistrate of a county because of his military exploits, but after the war, some people began to be sour, saying that those who had been to the top after military exploits really didn't have much talent, and because of this, many people were dispatched.
Superintendent post is an official position below the county guard, and the officials below are to be assessed.
Similarly, for a sheriff like Liu Bei, the imperial court would send someone over to check on him. If what he did was not good enough, or what he did was not eye-catching, he might be pulled from this position.
This is a huge political crisis, but I don't know if Liu Bei is a little swollen and doesn't take it seriously, or in other words, there is no trace of fear in his eyes.
In his eyes, there was only a little commotion, which seemed normal and had nothing to do with him.
"Brother, why are you so indifferent? Could it be that someone is in court?!" He picked up a chopstick dish, put it in his mouth and enjoyed it beautifully, but his eyes seemed to say, I've seen through you.
Liu Bei shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "I really can't hide anything from you."
"really."
He nodded, then took a piece of braised pork for Mrs. Qin, and said lightly: "Master Lu is a minister and a native of Youzhou. There is a nine out of ten chance that he will come here for inspection at this time. He told me to prepare for it." , if I make the local people miserable, even if I am his disciple, I will be played by him."
There seemed to be a bit of worry in the words, but there was no worry at all on his face, and he was calm.
Today's Yuyang County is not very prosperous, but because it has not suffered much from the war, the people here are relatively good, and the Zhang family is entrenched here. Things can be circulated, so private salt dealers and iron dealers are all active here.
There is a good saying.
Although commerce may not necessarily make a country strong, but without commerce, the country will definitely be in a relatively closed and backward state.
The Zhang family controls the local salt and iron projects. Although they have not transported them exaggeratedly, they have secretly leaked a lot of things from their fingers. Therefore, the local people are not too poor.
This point, in fact, everyone does not understand. They just think that there is no war here, so they feel that they are living better.
As everyone knows, the source of all this is because of the release of water by the Zhang family, which caused some adventurous businessmen from all over the world to come here.
Those people will definitely not come here empty-handed, and they also bring certain commodities. After arriving in Yuyang County, they need food, clothing, housing and transportation. As time goes by, the place will naturally become extremely prosperous.
It can be said that Yuyang is the most prosperous place in the world.
Like Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, and Xiliang prefectures and counties, as long as they are in contact with the border, they will definitely not be as prosperous as Yuyang.
Others don't know, but Fang Mo knows.
Therefore, he took great care in dealing with the Zhang family, trying not to surprise the other party with his actions, because once the family is shocked, it is likely to destroy the local system.
The common people would not think that the prosperity here was caused by corruption, and the imperial court would not think so. They would only think that under Liu Bei's management, this place has lost its previous level.
This was a huge mistake. Being caught by someone, playing a book is still normal, and it is even possible that it will cause his position to fall.
Thinking of this, Fang Mo's chewing movements froze for several minutes. He really didn't know whether he should continue to do something. If he did, it would probably hurt the Zhang family. When Lu Zhi If I saw a somewhat desolate scene, I don't know what I would think.
Looking at the shining golden light in the box next to him, he lowered his head and began to think.
Originally, he was going to use one-third to enter the pit, and then use two-thirds to recover these losses, and at the same time give the Zhang family a feudal beating.
But now, it is impossible.
Now it is necessary to maintain the tranquility under the rule, at least no major incidents can happen, that is to say, the money invested in the pit must be reduced, no, not some, but most of it.
Otherwise, it is pure compensation.
"What is fourth brother thinking?"
Seeing that he was not in the right place, Liu Bei comforted him: "Don't be anxious, now Yuyang County has nothing to do with me, and the local area is full of vitality, there is really nothing to be afraid of."
He also thought that Fang Mo knew that Lu Zhi was coming, so he was nervous, so he stretched out his hand, slid it on the table a few times and said: "If other states and counties are like this divided table, other places will be empty. , or there are only a few places where there are some sweet wines, then our Yuyang County is like this one."
He pointed to a place full of rum, where he had just accidentally sprinkled it. Compared with other places, it was like the difference between the dry north and the rainy south.
"No, I'm not worried about this." Fang Mo shook his head, and at the same time blocked Liu Bei's words: "Brother, it's better not to ask, I will explain in detail later, but now, I told you, I'm afraid you I don't believe it either."
Corruption has led to the prosperity of a place, who would believe it?
However, the fact is that, in future generations, as long as the economy is not good, the country will launch the action of flooding.
That movement is much bigger than that of the Zhang family, but the effect is definitely not as good as that of the other party.
