Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 184 Make a plan!The army is here!
Over there, Sun Chengzong killed people with great joy, but Zhu Youjian's troubles in the court will be big!
To kill and replace all the officials from the three provinces and four places at once is undoubtedly unacceptable to all the officials in the court!
But Zhu Youjian had to do this. It's not that there is no better way to deal with this matter, but if some methods are followed, a large part of these officials who were killed must be able to escape the knife on the head. They will not allow him to kill so many people at once, otherwise, wouldn't this be back to the Hongwu Dynasty?

This is unacceptable to them.

However, Zhu Youjian is not happy!
Why did they ruin so many people's homes for their own selfishness, but they themselves survived?

They must die too, human life must be paid for with human life, otherwise Zhu Youjian's thoughts will not be clear, and he doesn't care what other people do, but under his command, this kind of person must not live!

So even if he knew that if he really did this, the noise from the hundreds of officials in the court would make him dizzy, he still had to do it, just to understand four words with one thought!

But now that the killing is fast, the backlash from the follow-up officials will soon come down, and I must prepare as soon as possible to deal with it. Now they haven't turned back just because the news hasn't come back. They don't know, even those who know about it The elders of the pavilion never imagined that Zhu Youjian would play so big.

What Zhu Youjian hit was a time difference, and he cut the mess with a quick knife!
Don't give these courtiers a chance to react at all, so as not to cause accidents in vain.

But what should be faced is still to be faced. After finishing the dragon robe, Zhu Youjian strode forward and went to court!

Whatever you say, anyway, all the ones that should be killed are killed now, no matter what you say, you can't save them, what else can you do except say a few beeps, and then accept the reality?
How can you take me?
snort!A group of talkers!
Zhu Youjian thought disdainfully, but the movements of his feet quickened. He couldn't wait to see which courtiers looked desperate but helpless.

……

Xuanfu, inside Zhangjiakou Fort.

Fan Mansion, living room.

The sun was high, but everyone in the hall didn't have the slightest thought of eating, and they were all worried.

At this moment, all the characters in the living room are not ordinary people, they are all ordinary people.

The old man sitting at the top is Fan Yongdou, the head of the Fan family as a landlord.

There are seven people sitting on the left and right under it, and these seven people, together with Fan Yongdou, belong to the eight Shanxi merchant families called Daming Shanyou!

These eight families have a great reputation throughout the northern part of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this reputation is based on the impression that the eight families are rich and wealthy.

The next seven people are Wang Dengku, the head of the Wang family, Jin Liangyu, the head of the Jin family, Wang Dayu, the other head of the Wang family, Liang Jiabin, the head of the Liang family, Tian Shenglan, the head of the Tian family, Zhai Tang, the head of the Zhai family, and Huang Yunfa, the head of the Huang family.

At this moment, these seven people gathered in Fan's house not for anything else, but to worry about the tasks entrusted by their slave master, Huang Taiji!
Not long ago, Huang Taiji sent news that there was a disaster outside the customs, and asked them to transport 200 million shi of grain out of the customs, and deliberately raised the price of each shi of grain to the point of two taels of silver.

This immediately excited Bajia. If this business is done well, not only can I and others build a good relationship with the "master", but also get nearly 400 million taels of benefits. The family has 10,000+ taels of silver for one point, which is not a small amount!
But then everyone frowned again, thinking well, but the problem is that this is not one or two hundred stones of grain, nor one or two thousand stones, but two million stones!Twenty million catties of grain!

Even with the power of the eight of them in the entire Shanyou, they could not raise 200 million shi of grain.

But let them watch this opportunity to make a fortune fly away like this, they are also extremely unwilling!

In the end, Fan Yongdou, an old and cunning guy, came up with an idea to play big!

Through gold and yuan to open the way to buy officials from Shanyou and even several nearby provinces, and to raise food for themselves and others through the government, even if they have to pay a little money, it is still worthwhile. Run, not only completed the task, but also did not return empty-handed after seeing the meat in front of his eyes.

Secondly, you can also take the opportunity to win over officials from these provinces to your own network, so that in these provinces in the future, your own family will be like a local emperor!
Whether it is doing business or other things, it will be much more convenient, so that you don't have to waste time in contacting relationships again and again.

You must know that for their businessmen, time is money!It is silver!White snowflake silver!

As soon as Fan Yongdou came up with this idea, the other Qi family thought about it!
"Hey! It's really like this, someone did it!"

They immediately agreed to the plan.

So next, with the eight businessmen Jin Yuan opening the way, they continued to capture the hearts of the adults in the government, and gradually won the adults from the three provinces and four places into their hands.

In this process, there will inevitably be some "stubborn" elements. For these people, Fan Yongdou's response method is also very simple, that is, let them go, and other officials who feel that he is in the way will naturally deal with them.

that's the truth.

You don't want to earn this white silver, some people want to earn it, no one will care about you, but if you want to stop others from earning silver?
I'm sorry, but I can't keep you anymore!

After all, we are all working hard to "earn" money, and you are the only one out of the mud, what's the matter?We are all lotus roots and silt, but you are the lotus?

I can't keep you anymore, so these good officials who still have loyalty in their hearts are wiped out one by one under the watchful eyes of wolves, until finally the whole three provinces and four places become the world of wolves, and no one dares to jump out and seek death .

After clearing away these obstructive existences, the Eight Great Families, who had turned the entire three provinces and four places into a basic set, began to implement the plan, and thus this tragic food collection operation officially began.

Countless people lost their homes because of this, but they were still forced to hand over their last food reserves.

The entire three provinces and four places have almost turned into a hell for others, and the eclipse of Yizi seems to be in sight!
But even so, the last eight suddenly developed food and it was not enough!
Even if they have used this method, the harvest in the whole of the north this year is not good, and the grain in the hands of the people is not much. Even if they scraped the land three times, they only collected less than 130 million shi of grain in the end , there is still a gap of 70 that cannot be filled, which is worrying for the eight patriarchs.

The promised delivery date is getting closer and closer, but there is still a gap of 70 shi of grain. What should I do?
Those Jianlu are not easy to deal with. If they come here in anger because of insufficient food, what will they do?

The eight patriarchs who were worried about this question didn't think about tea or food, and they didn't even go to the Peony Tower, which they like to go to most on weekdays.

"Brother Fan! How can this be good? The grain payment will be at the beginning of next month, but even if we try our best now, we can't make up the 70 shi grain gap in such a long period of time! How can this be?" Is that good?" Huang Yunfa, the Patriarch of the Huang Family, said with a worried face.

"Yes, Brother Fan, your Fan family is the closest to the Jurchen among our eight families, and you will be the first to bear the brunt of the job when the time comes. You must try your best! Think of a way!" Jin Patriarch Jin Liangyu also echoed.

"That's right! Brother Fan! You have to think of a way!"

"Brother Fan, time is running out!"

"Brother Fan!"

"Brother Fan!"

"Brother Fan!"

……

As soon as the two of them opened their mouths, the other six immediately opened their mouths to urge them, imposingly putting all the pressure on Fan Yongdou.

The veins on Fan Yongdou's forehead were throbbing out of anger at the actions of the seven people. The money is shared equally by everyone. Why do you have to figure out a solution yourself if something goes wrong? Are you all pigs?
Wanting money without solving anything, Brother Fan every day, it's so annoying!
Complaints are complaints, complaints are complaints, but the problem still needs to be solved.

Fan Yongdou thought for a while, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution, and said: "Everyone, these untouchables can't squeeze a grain of food anyway, the only thing we can make up our minds is The gentry in these remaining provinces are powerful, and the untouchables have no food in their homes, and now they are the only ones who can raise the 70 shi shortfall, and there is no other way."

When Fan Yongdou proposed this method, everyone fell into deep thought. After a while, they all nodded in agreement, but one person had a different opinion.

This person is Tian Shenglan, the head of the Tian family, and he said: "Brother Fan, it is not easy to raise food from these landlords and gentry! The price we give to some officials is not enough to satisfy the appetite of these guys. It’s impossible to increase the price again, once this happens, the profit will be thin!”

Others also immediately realized the problem at this time.

yes!These landlords are not easy to be fooled. They are actually what they are talking about.

The word troublemaker is enough to show that these big and small landlords are difficult to deal with, and it is not so easy to deal with them, so they must give up more benefits.

Otherwise, they won't be able to satisfy their appetites, and they won't take out the food easily, and they can't deal with them as hard as those mud legs, because most of the officials in the DPRK and China have come out of these troublemakers, and they are inherently It is better to be close to them than to the low-level businessmen waiting for me, even if I wait for others to use money.

Because it is a matter of identity class identity.

Everyone frowns again.

Fan Yongdou snorted coldly and said, "What else do you have to do?
Who else can provide us with 70 shi of grain? "

The crowd was silent.

However, not long after, just as Fan Yongdou was about to open his mouth to settle the matter, Tian Shenglan jumped out again and said: "Brother Fan, besides these landlords and gentry, there are some people who must have food in their homes. It can even be said that these four places are special. Most of the fertile land in Shaanxi and Henan provinces belong to them, and the grain in their hands must be piled up like a mountain, so it should be easier to buy grain from them?"

"you are right……?"

Fan Yongdou narrowed his eyes, a little unsure.

"Tian Shenglan spat out two words: "The feudal lord! "

Then he continued: "The fertile fields in the hands of these feudal lords can be said to occupy more than half of the land in these provinces, and there are countless grains harvested every year to sell a lot to the south of the Yangtze River.

I heard before that because the princes of the feudal vassals were summoned to the capital by the little emperor, the grain they collected this year has not been sold to the south of the Yangtze River. Why don't we set up a line with the stewards of their prefectures to compare with their previous years? Buy food from them at a slightly higher price, so that our cost can be reduced, and we can also give some benefits to those housekeepers and save a lot of trouble.

After all, what food belongs to the vassals, not the housekeepers, they will not be so fussy, unlike which landlords are their own food, who will care about every penny. "

"It works!"

Fan Yongdou thought for a while, and immediately felt that this method was much better than the one he had just now. Firstly, it could lower the price, and it was time-saving to buy directly from the feudal lords in large quantities instead of going to small landlords one by one. It saves a lot of effort and a lot of trouble.

Especially when he thought that these grains would eventually be sent to the Jurchens outside the pass, Fan Yongdou immediately felt a ridiculous sense of absurdity.

Take the food of the Zhu family and give it to the enemies of the Zhu family.

Then let the enemy eat the food grown by the Zhu family to attack the Zhu family!

hey-hey!really interesting!
Presumably Dahan would be very happy if he knew about it, this is really interesting!
Thinking of this, Fan Yongdou immediately stopped hesitating and decided on this plan: "Okay, since this plan is better, let's do it this way, so that our eight families will be divided into eight groups, and my Fan family will go to the Qin Palace to buy food. Brother Huang went to King Jin's Mansion, Brother Tian went to King Zhou's Mansion in Henan, Brother Jin went to King Fu's Mansion, Brother Wang... We will buy food from these palaces according to our respective quotas, and strive to make up the gap of 70 before the end of this month. Qi, finally send it out from our house, and the Great Khan will send someone to pick it up when the time comes.

Are you all okay? "

"no!"

"no!"

"no!"

……

The Patriarchs nodded one after another, and Fan Yongdou also nodded in satisfaction, then he stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, now that the problem has been solved, it's getting late, why don't you go back after eating in my mansion, I will So let the butler go to Yunchang Tower to book a few top tables."

"Can!"

"Can!"

……

The Patriarchs nodded in satisfaction, and started chatting and laughing with each other, and Fan Yongdou returned to the hall after leaving the table to tell the butler to reserve a table, and started chatting and laughing happily with everyone.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, waiting for the cooking, there were bursts of panicked shouts coming from outside Fan's residence.

At the same time, a servant stumbled into the hall, and before Fan Yongdou could yell at him, what the servant said immediately made everyone present stand up in shock, and their faces changed!
"My lord! It's not good! Our Zhangjiakou Fort was surrounded by troops in black armor!
They are going to attack the fort! ! ! "

ps. [-] words, I'm too lazy to divide chapters, let's read it, everyone.

Today Chapter 2 was complained about again, it's not fun.
