Liangzhou.
This was the main trade route from Chang 'an to Longyou Road, which was connected to the Western Regions.
At this moment, Liangzhou was also facing the same problem.
The provincial governor of Liangzhou, Wei Anyi, was a distant relative of Wei Zheng. Today, he sent three secret reports to Wei Zheng.
A few days ago, he received a letter from the palace, asking Liangzhou to release all the tax money that was supposed to be sent to Chang 'an and lend it to the people according to His Majesty's order.
However, everything was fine on the first day, but on the second day, they ran into trouble.
This was the center of commerce.
Basically, half of the residents in Liangzhou City were merchants.
On the first day, Wei Anyi took out seven million taels of silver and distributed less than thirty to forty thousand taels of silver to the small merchants in the city.
Basically, the people were watching.
However, on the second day, after Wei Anyi personally loaned a thousand taels of silver for his brother-in-law's dyehouse, the seven million taels of silver were all spent by the small merchants in an instant.
Wei Anyi was overjoyed!
He had finally solved the matter that His Majesty had asked him to do perfectly!
However, on the third day, he was dumbfounded.
He had wanted to wake up early in the morning to play with his favorite golden thrush bird in the cage, but he had lost the desire to do so.
The clamor outside the mansion scared the birds to the point that they were shivering.
How could he not be angry when his beloved bird was frightened?
He rolled up his sleeves angrily and was about to go out to see what the guard was doing. Why didn't he care about the commotion outside?
However, he was completely dumbfounded as soon as he stepped out of the backyard.
There were more than a dozen servants and maids in the courtyard, but now they were all hiding in the room and did not dare to come out. From time to time, there were piles of dried or fresh cow dung flying in from outside the courtyard.
How could this be?
Wei Anyi was furious.
"Butler? Where did you go? "
"Old … Old Master … Come and hide …"
Behind a bamboo bush, the butler shakily poked his head out and then hid again.
Wei Anyi was dumbfounded.
He carefully avoided the cow dung outside the courtyard and hid in the bamboo bush. He asked, "What's going on outside?"
"Old Master, almost all the people around Liangzhou are outside!"
"What!?"
Wei Anyi was shocked.
"Then, why didn't anyone inform me?"
"Madam, Madam doesn't want to. She's afraid that with Master's temper, going out and hitting people will cause a lawsuit!"
"Hmm?"
Wei Anyi was furious. He raised his hand and was about to hit him, but in the next moment, he withdrew his hand in embarrassment under a cold gaze.
"Madam, why … are you … outside …"
Everyone in Liangzhou knew that Wei Anyi was henpecked.
Moreover, Wei Anyi had a bad temper. This was something that everyone in Liangzhou knew. At this moment, a graceful figure was glaring at him from the storeroom in the front yard.
"This is what you're doing? This concubine really doesn't know if that cow dung is blind or what. Why can't it smash you to death?! "
???
Wei Anyi was dumbfounded.
They winked at the old butler and even kicked him, but the old butler remained silent.
The Old Man was furious!
Wei Anyi felt aggrieved.
He was the Governor of Liangzhou, and he was appointed at the age of forty. This was really a stroke of good luck.
But why did he have to deal with such a shrew?
Although Wei Anyi was sad and indignant, he did not dare to lose his temper. He could only ask shamelessly, "Madam, what's going on outside? Why are you so angry? "
"Angry? How would I dare to be angry? I'm the Provincial Minister, Wei Zheng, Lord Wei's cousin. How would I dare to be angry? "
The Madam still ignored him.
She said to herself, "Back then, how did you swear in his court that you would be a good official?"
"If your cousin knew that you had caused Liangzhou to become like this and caused tens of thousands of people to block the gate, I wonder if Lord Wei would jump up from the court and skin you alive!"
The more she said, the more Wei Anyi broke out in a cold sweat.
His whole body was trembling.
Wei Anyi had no choice but to surrender.
"Madam, just tell me what's going on outside! The Old Man feels uneasy! "
"Oh! You feel uneasy? Weren't you very high-spirited when you lent your brother-in-law the money yesterday? Have you ever thought about what the money was for? "
"This is official money, tax money. The Emperor personally ordered you to do this! What about you? Seven million! You gave all of it to those merchants? "
Finally, Wei Anyi thought about the Emperor's secret plan in detail in his head.
He could not help but feel dizzy and fell down.
If it were not for the steward's quick eyes and hands, he would have fallen head first on the bamboo fork and died.
At this moment, he finally knew what was going on outside.
He was so scared that he did not even dare to faint. He rolled and crawled to the door. .
"It's over, it's over. I'm f * cking over!"
Wei Anyi could not care about anything else. He pulled the bolt of the door open and was instantly drowned by the noise.
At the door, all the guards and prisoners were waiting, but no one dared to make a move. They could only guard the door.
At this moment, when they saw Wei Anyi come out, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.
Wei Anyi roared, "Stop!"
"Lao Tzu, stop!"
"The Old Man will think of a way to get the money! Don't worry! "
"Line up and make a list. There's still money …"
