Wanli 1592

Chapter 560

Xiao Ruxun felt that she understood many things in an instant.

"The first time the governor discovered these old grains was at the Zijing Pass, and these old grains appeared at the Zijing Pass. That is to say, the northern captives continued to go south because they got the grains in your grain storage cave in Datong. Shanxi only got it, Datong, Datong, they got these grains in Datong!"

"I don't dare to say it's true, but if the northern captives really got these old grains, then it is estimated that they are in Datong. Datong's grain caves are not as many as those in Shanxi, and the time for storing grain is shorter, but the quantity is the same. Quite considerable, basically for doing business with Beilu."

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"The officers and men and the common people are hungry and have no food to eat, but you take a large amount of food to do business with the northern captives. The northern captives can go south to attack Daming when they are full, but the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are powerless because they have no food to eat. Fighting against the northern captives, good, good, very good!"

There was a chill in Liu Yong's heart.

"Admiral... We wait... We really don't know that the North Prisoners used the food from Datong when they went south, and we sold the grain to the North Prisons for money. We never thought that this would happen...the North Prisoners must have attacked I waited for the clansmen in Datong, and tortured them to get the news, otherwise, I would definitely not..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ruxun stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Okay, this is the crime committed by the entire Jin Dynasty merchant gang. How can you bear it alone? The governor will not blame you alone. Just tell the governor that everything you know is in the Liangdong in Shanxi. You don't need to mention Liu's, you can keep it, but the governor believes that you know a lot about the grain holes of your competitors.

Tell Ben Du, Ben Du can be regarded as helping you, one is to help the people of Shanxi survive this winter, and the other is to make those big households bleed by taking advantage of the wartime advantages. Think about it, what if it is revealed by other family members in Datong You didn't want to take revenge on them because of the news of Liangdong, which eventually led to the destruction of your Liu family?
Tell this governor about these things, and this governor can come forward to help you avenge and take away all their food. As for your own grain storage cave of the Liu family, you keep it and it belongs to you, and this governor does not want it. "

Liu Yong couldn't believe his ears.

"What the admiral said...is it true?"

"Of course it is true. As long as you tell me where the other grain storage caves are, the governor will not want Liu's grain storage caves. You keep them for yourself. These storage caves still belong to the Liu family. How about it?"

Liu Yong was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down to kowtow to Xiao Ruxun.

"Thank you admiral for your kindness, villain! Thank you, admiral, for your kindness!"

"Hahaha, well, get up, come on, mark it here."

Xiao Ruxun handed Liu Yong a map of Shanxi, and asked Liu Yong to mark the food storage places of other families that he knew. Xiao Ruxun was told about all possible types of organs.

Putting away the map of grain storage, Xiao Ruxun nodded with a smile, reached out to his bodyguard, the bodyguard understood, and took out a cloth bag, Xiao Ruxun took the bag, and took out a bank note from it.

"Here, here is a silver ticket of 100 taels. Now Shanxi is about to be in chaos. Take these taels to the south to take shelter, and come back when the war is over, and start your business again."

Liu Yong was overjoyed, took the 100 taels of silver, kowtowed to Xiao Ruxun a few times, then turned and left.

Xiao Ruxun handed the cloth bag to the guard, then took the flintlock from the guard, aimed at Liu Yong's back, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

A shot was fired, and Liu Yong fell to the ground in response.

Xiao Ruxun handed the gun back to the guard.

"Have brought disaster on the country and the people. If you die, you will be punished. Take back the money and burn the body."

"promise!"

The guards around him immediately complied.

At this time, Li Rusong came back from patrolling outside, heard a gunshot, saw a dead body being carried out, and asked curiously: "Admiral, who is this?"

"The leader just now, named Liu Yong, is a survivor of the Liu family, a large family of Shanxi merchants. When the northern captives attacked the city, this guy went out to drink with his friends. Fortunately, he was not killed. The governor shot him and sent him off. To be with the family."

Li Rusong looked at the back, let out a yell, and cursed angrily: "These big Shanxi merchants don't have any good things, and they earn money that kills off their children and grandchildren! I wish I could kill them!"

Turning around, Li Rusong said again: "Admiral, the situation in the city is not good, the houses are damaged a lot, the weather is cold, and the problem of accommodation can barely be solved, but the food left by the Beilu is only enough for two or three meals. After three meals, there is nothing to eat, nothing to eat, how can the people of Taiyuan live?"

Xiao Ruxun took out the map of grain storage and handed it to Li Rusong.

Li Rusong took it, but didn't understand it.

"Admiral, this is..."

"The grain storage caves of Shanxi Shanxi merchants, the grain storage caves known to Liu Yong, the large households in Shanxi hide their surplus grain every year in the caves, creating the illusion that grain is in short supply in the market and the price is high. The northern captive tribes needed.

The grain in the Beilu camp should be the grain hidden by the big Shanxi merchants in the grain storage cave in Datong. They got the grain so they had the confidence to go south. "

Li Rusong was taken aback.

"Is this true? When I first heard about these things, the general thought they were rumors and didn't believe them, but it turned out to be true? How much food is this..."

"There is enough food for Shanxi and Datong refugees to survive the entire winter. General Li, without further ado, I want you to arrange it immediately, let the people of Taiyuan mobilize, and let them carry the food. Our troops are not many, and we have to deal with the northern captives." , there is no time, so the people of Taiyuan can only get the food by themselves.

As for the people in Taiyuan who can’t finish it, we will send people to guard it. After we have packed up the northern captives, we will move the food, and then distribute it to the refugees in Shanxi and Datong, let them survive this winter, and leave some seed food for them. All in all, there must be a catastrophe after the war, and the Governor does not want to see it. "

Li Rusong looked at the map of grain storage with a serious expression, then nodded.

After Li Rusong left, Xiao Ruxun continued to fiddle with the pile of firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously, fiddled with it, and suddenly figured out something.

These northern captives went south probably because some people wanted to take revenge on their competitors, so they did not hesitate to use such cruel means to lead the northern captives into the Great Wall, and even gave them so much food for nothing. In order to clean up some of the enemies in the city.

Then the mastermind should be one or several of the dozen or so large Shanxi merchants left behind by Liu Yong.
