"These officials have all contributed! After being deployed and consuming a lot of materials, they can still keep the warehouses abundant, the market full of goods, and the people healthy. What a great contribution, what a strong ability, promotion is just around the corner, right?"

』

"But you...of course you can probably guess that since those things were borrowed, they naturally have to be returned...as soon as your men leave, they will return them..."

"The warehouses were immediately locked, the markets were re-closed, and the bazaars were immediately cancelled. What was the real situation? Can your men see it? In order to hold the celebration, all materials and manpower were transferred to Xu County, so there could still be people nearby.

How much? The real situation is that there is a shortage of supplies around the county, soaring prices, shortage of manpower, and unrest among the people!』

"Then they were afraid that some damn people would say something that they shouldn't say during the celebration, so they blocked the roads and blocked the countryside. But no one could get out without their approval.

I can’t even get in..."

"Those who can come out are all their own people. Food is given to them and drinks are invited. As for the people, who cares?"

"After I knew this, I wanted to go into the village to have a look, but I couldn't get in. When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I was kicked out and refused to enter! Then I knew that the situation was actually worse than I originally thought.

』

"Of course I just pretended to be a scholar... Anyway, I don't look like a high official, do I?"

"I was just thinking, although these little officials outside have to guard the intersection in the wind and sun, it's hard, it's hard, but they still have food, drink, money and salary, and they still get paid every penny.

Those who are imprisoned in the village, if they have food at home, that's fine, but if they don't...haha, there are also those who are sick and dead, they are all in the village, and they can't get out of the village. If they die, they are left at home.

』

"The whole world is celebrating, the world is rejoicing. How can one get sick or die at such a time worthy of celebration? Isn't this a discredit to the emperor and the prime minister?"

"Hehe, haha, haha..."

Guo Jia smiled and spoke, with half of his face in the light and half of his face in the darkness.

Xun Yu was silent for a long time, "Does the lord know?"

Guo Jia cast his eyes sideways, as if some blades were shining in his eyes, "What do you think?"

Xun Yu fell silent again.

There was silence in the political hall, and even the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops in the courtyard could be clearly heard.

The candle swayed, as if trying hard to drive away the darkness, but the boundless darkness still came from all directions, filling every place that the light of the candle could not take care of, hiding behind the pillars, hiding on the beams, hiding in the cracks

, hidden under the silk gauze.

"My lord is determined to take action?" Xun Yu said slowly, his voice seemed to be hoarse, as if the previous fatigue and fatigue were now emerging from the inside of his body, "But what about money? Without these people, where would money and taxes come from?"

Where is the place? Without these officials, how can we control the people? Once the situation worsens, the Yellow Turban Rebellion will happen again immediately!"

Since Cao Cao knew about it but didn't express anything, then either Cao Cao was pretending to be deaf or dumb, or he was waiting for follow-up measures. Xun Yu's understanding of Cao Cao naturally favored the second possibility.

"If you don't take action, are you going to let these people continue to act unscrupulously?" Guo Jia chuckled with disdain, "They also know that if they do this, they may be exposed and may be caught, but at the same time, they also know that it is impossible.

Catch them all? Right? Catch two, three, four, ten, more or less, twenty, is that enough? Fifty? Five hundred? A lot of them will die! Their heads will be as high as the city gate!

But will they be afraid of this? Haha, as long as they don't arrest them all, will these people be alert? No, as long as someone slips through the net, they will wonder how that person slipped through the net? If there is any relationship behind it, then everyone will look for it

The relationship behind that. If he has any merit to avoid death, then everyone will immediately perform that merit and label it for themselves... In these matters, they are smarter than us, do you believe it?"

"It's like this celebration," Guo Jia looked forward, as if he was trying to see through the dark night, "The sky is huge and the earth is huge, the celebration is the biggest, right? As long as the celebration is done, then the hat on the head and the ribbon on the body will

The official seal in the leather bag will not be lost! Right?」

"The whole world is celebrating. For the man, for the emperor, for the common people, the slogans are shouted very loudly... These people are used to sitting in the government offices, eating and drinking on weekdays, but suddenly there are such complicated things. How can they get used to it, how can they be busy?

Come here?" Guo Jia said with a smile, but there was no smile in his voice, "Just because you can do it, doesn't mean they can do it, so they can only focus on the present! Take care of this celebration!"

"In order to hold this celebration, if people die, it is called waiting to die. If people die after the celebration, it is called chronic illness. After the celebration, they will go to the doctor. If there are people who have nothing to eat or drink

If you sneak out, you can arrest them directly. This is called disrupting the order of the celebration. Will there be public resentment? There will definitely be, but these are the responsibility of the emperor, aren't they? What does it have to do with them? It is the emperor who wants this celebration.

The emperor said that the whole world is celebrating, and it is all for the emperor. Is it wrong to do it for the emperor?"

"I asked you, is it wrong?"

Guo Jia turned around and looked at Xun Yu, "You gave the order, right? These people are not allowed to take this opportunity to hoard and sell at high prices, right? They changed the word, they don't sell at high prices, anyway, in the market

There is nothing left in the shops, and you can't buy it at a reasonable price. They have created a new method called voluntary procurement. They don't sell it in the market and let private individuals do it. If something goes wrong, that person is responsible...

…』

"You also issued an order, saying that traffic must not be blocked to ensure the harvest, right? They also changed the word, they did not close the roads and villages, they called it slow traffic and wait for harvest. Look, they

Did you disobey an order?』

"Autumn will be ripe soon. The crops in the fields are there, but people in the village can't get out! If they get out, they will be arrested! They are afraid, what if these people who say they are going out to collect grain are actually everywhere?

What about running around? What if the people in that village tell the truth and cause trouble? Do they still need the hats on their heads, the ribbons on their bodies, and the official seals on their waists? Right?"

"You think I'm talking about those low-level officials? No, they just follow orders. More importantly, you know who they are... These people sit in the hall all day long and rarely set foot in the private sector. They don't know the situation of the people.

They don’t have the ability to handle and coordinate so many things at the same time like you... So for these people, they can only be busy with the celebration first..."

"Anyway, the celebration is only for these few days. Once you get through it, it's over. It's just these few days, right? The autumn harvest is still something in the future. If the celebrations in front of you are not good, the officials will have nothing to do! As for individual people, if

If you don’t get through it, you’re going to die! Who can you blame?”

"What's more, some of them have put a lot of thought into this..."
