Liu Rui didn't believe what Mi Jinxuan said.
But I can't think of any other reason.
Who would have thought that the highly respected Mr. Mi would put on a show?
But Liu Rui still said cautiously: "Go back and ask Mr. Mi. If that's the case, we'll be relieved."
"I'll go right away."
Mi Jinxuan hurried back home and found Mi Moli.
"Grandpa, why did Banxia take the people from the academy to help Zhao Lin?" Mi Jinxuan asked directly.
Mi Moli frowned unnoticed and said calmly, "What's wrong?"
Mi Jinxuan quickly asked, "Zhao Lin is our enemy, why should we help him?"
"Enemy? You say that a first-rank official of the imperial court and the governor of the world's rivers is your enemy? Who are you? Aren't you from Daqi, but from Beidi? Or from Nanzhao?" Mi Moli shouted harshly.
The servants outside all leaned over to look.
Mi Jinxuan hurriedly explained: "My grandson didn't explain it clearly. Zhao Lin came here to rob the sea trade. Isn't he our enemy?"
Mi Moli said calmly: "He robbed it?"
Mi Jinxuan said: "No. But this is his purpose."
Mi Moli snorted coldly: "Then wait until he really snatches it away."
Mi Jinxuan asked unwillingly, "Didn't Grandpa dislike him yesterday? Why did he send someone to help him?"
Mi Moli said calmly: "I'm not helping him."
Mi Jinxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Mi Moli said, "I'm doing my best. Maritime trade is a matter of great importance and is extremely troublesome. Lord Zhao is willing to handle this matter, which is a good thing for everyone involved in maritime trade in the three provinces. How can I sit idly by and do nothing?"
Mi Jin was dumbfounded and said, "Yesterday, wasn't he disrespectful to you yesterday?"
Mi Moli said calmly: "Are you so stupid?"
Mi Jinxuan shuddered.
He knew this was a sign of his grandfather's anger.
He also reacted.
Yesterday, it was just my grandfather who was acting, unwilling to go along with that group of people.
"But Zhao Lin has bad intentions."
Mi Jinxuan tried to persuade Mi Moli: "He claims to be rectifying the situation, but in reality he is seizing all the merchants and forcing them to pay exorbitant taxes. Today he even summoned us all and threatened us."
"You can file a complaint with the court." Mi Moli said calmly, "You have connections in the court anyway. As long as you have evidence, you can bring Zhao Lin down."
"But, but..."
Mi Jinxuan stammered and couldn't speak.
Are you going to sue Zhao Lin, a murderer who would raid people's homes and kill their entire families at any time?
I'm afraid that before I win the lawsuit, my house will be copied by someone else.
Isn’t the fate of those officials in the Jiujiang Governor’s Office a warning enough?
Mi Moli finally lost her patience: "If you have nothing to do, get out and study hard. You are so much older than Zhao Lin. He is already a first-rank official, and you are only a juren. How dare you go out?"
After being scolded for no reason, Mi Jinxuan took out all his anger on Zhao Lin.
"I don't know what kind of magic potion Zhao Lin gave to my grandfather. He is supporting Zhao Lin."
Mi Jinxuan ran to Liu Rui and told the story again with exaggeration.
Liu Rui looked solemn.
Zhao Lin is easy to deal with, but the old guy Mi Moli is not easy to deal with.
Not to mention places far away, scholars in Qingyuan Province are proud to study at Qingyuan Academy.
At least half of the officials in Qingyuan Province have connections with Qingyuan Academy.
Even Liu Rui himself is a student of Qingyuan Academy, so of course he knows Mi Moli's power.
If Mi Moli really gets into trouble, it will be difficult to deal with him.
But just because of Mi Moli, he wants them to give up most of their interests.
Liu Rui still didn't want to.
"Forget it, let's just try to avoid Mr. Mi."
Liu Rui thought for a moment and said, "Fortunately, the governor and Mr. Yu are on the same page with us."
Mi Jinxuan said angrily, "We're doing business properly, and Zhao Lin actually comes here to give us orders. Who the hell does he think he is? We have to find a way to get rid of him, otherwise no one will feel at ease."
Liu Rui said calmly, "It's difficult to get rid of him. There are only two ways."
Mi Jinxuan was overjoyed: "I knew the president had a solution. Which two?"
Liu Rui said: "First, ask the court to transfer Zhao Lin."
Mi Jinxuan said, "This isn't easy, is it? Now that Zhao Lin is here, he won't leave so easily."
Liu Rui laughed and asked, "What kind of official is Zhao Lin?"
Mi Jinxuan said: "Hedao Governor."
"That's right," Liu Rui said. "His main job is to manage the rivers of the world. If there's a problem with a river, won't he have to leave?"
Mi Jinxuan was overjoyed: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? If the dike breaks somewhere and people drown, he, as the governor of the river, will be blamed. Unfortunately, it's already summer, and although there are autumn rains, there won't be any floods. What a pity, what a pity."
Liu Rui said calmly: "If there is no flood, we can help him build it."
"How to make it?" Mi Jinxuan asked curiously.
Liu Rui coldly spat out two words: "Dig the embankment."
Mi Jinxuan was stunned for a moment, a look of fear on his face: "If we are discovered, it will be a serious crime!"
Liu Rui sneered, "Mr. Mi, what you said is true. Digging the dike is a serious crime, but what does it have to do with you and me? That was done by those who disliked Zhao Lin."
Mi Jinxuan suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with us. The president is really a good strategist. What's the second method?"
Liu Rui said: "Win over or kill Zhao Lin."
Mi Jinxuan shook his head repeatedly: "It's clear today. He's not easy to win over. As for killing him, he's very cautious right now. His headquarters is tightly surrounded by the Qingzhou army, and the food he eats is tested for poison beforehand, so it's not easy to kill him."
