Chapter 793 Thank you, Jinfutai!
Inside the governor's yamen of Xuanda, Jin Zhijun was wearing an official uniform, and he greeted the big family who was called with authority.

Usually, the amount of raids is small, and officials often join forces with large landlords to squeeze the people, and the proceeds are divided among the officials and gentry.

The amount needed for the war is huge. If you want to search from the poor people, not only will it be easy to force the mud legs to turn against you, but you will also not be able to complete the amount explained above. If you continue to search the people, it will be a bit of a loss.

At this time, it's time to kill a few fat pigs.

This point can be said to fully reflect the wisdom of the officials of the Qing Dynasty, but it has always been the case in the past dynasties.

Jin Zhijun greeted the gentry with a smile, and suddenly walked up to an old man in a padded jacket and full cape, "The shopkeeper Zhou is here too!"

Shopkeeper Zhou hurriedly patted his sleeves, and said skillfully, "Caomin, please greet Futai. My master, knowing that Futai is calling, specially asked Caomin to come here."

Jin Zhijun nodded in satisfaction, "Mr. Fan is indeed the leader of the emperor's merchants personally appointed by the emperor. He is really a loyal minister of my Qing Dynasty! This time the imperial court is fighting against the high-ranking thieves in southern Shanxi to protect everyone from being robbed by the high-ranking thieves. As soon as Old Master Fan heard that Ben Fu was in a hurry to pay for the front line, he sent shopkeeper Zhou to come, and Ben Fu must report to the imperial court and reward the Fan family!"

Now that the Western Wei Dynasty is at war with the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government's internal propaganda has always been to classify Gao Yihuan as Li Zicheng and his like, in order to deceive the northern gentry and support the Qing army.

Gao Yihuan was originally Li Zicheng's general, and more than half of the generals in the Shun line of the Western Wei Army also made it easy for people to think that Gao Yihuan had inherited Li Zicheng's mantle.

Although the Qing Dynasty was powerful in looting, Li Zicheng was not as cruel to the gentry. As long as he took refuge in the Qing Dynasty, there was still a way to survive.

Shopkeeper Zhou immediately stated: "In order to protect us in the bloody battle against the high-ranking thieves, we slaves should not lose our conscience. We should reward the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. Today, on behalf of Jiexiu Fan's family, I will offer 10 taels of silver. , [-] stones of food, support the Qing Dynasty in fighting against the high-ranking bandits!"

The prefect of Datong next to him immediately praised: "The Fan family is indeed straightforward. With this one hundred thousand silver and ten thousand shi of grain at the bottom, it is not difficult for me to scrape together one million taels of silver and one hundred thousand shi of grain! Hehe~ Gentlemen, claim one."

The gentry present were a little embarrassed, the Fan family was here to flatter Jin Zhijun.

The same is true for raising food for the Qing army in Hetao last time. He was an outbound trader from Zhangjiakou. Zhijun not only returned the [-] shi, but also sent another [-] shi to the Fan family.

Today they wanted to use the same trick to force them to donate food, and they also added 100 million taels, and many gentry were stunned.

It is not easy for rural rich people to save some money. Even if it is shared equally, each person has to donate several thousand taels, and no one is willing to donate.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Jin Zhijun felt a little displeased, coughed dryly, the magistrate understood, immediately slapped the table, and said heartbrokenly: "I have no conscience! Who is the reason for the bloody battle of the Qing army in front of you? The government will speak to you today." Put it here, today is not enough, no one should come out of this door, don't toast and eat or drink fine wine!"

A group of Qing soldiers came in, holding their swords in their hands, and stood on both sides with a murderous look.

The squires suddenly fidgeted, and many people began to sweat on their backs. The atmosphere in the lobby fell silent for an instant.

Jin Zhijun smiled and said: "The high-ranking thief is the general of the trespasser. He is what the trespasser is. It can be said that the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty have worked hard to resist the high-ranking thief. If it weren't for them, the high-ranking thief would have fought against you. Looted by a high-ranking thief. Don’t let the brethren feel cold, or else the high-ranking thief will call, and everyone will be ruined. Now I’m going to claim the number, get it together early, so I can go home for the New Year!”

Seeing this, the gentry knew that they had to donate today, and sighed one by one, leading an old man to say, "Forget it, the grass-roots pledged 5000 taels and [-] shi for grain, let's make up the rest!"

Some people took the lead, and the rest had no choice but to submit. The rich men in all counties and forts could only say one after another, write down the pledged amount, and then order their servants to go back to bring the money and food. Before the money and food arrived, they would I can only live in Yali temporarily.

Not long after, all the gentry had already pledged their donations, but it was still a little short of the required 100 million taels or [-] shi of grain, but it had already met the requirements of the court, and it would not be a big deal if there was less. a little.

Jin Zhijun was moved, "All the gentlemen are indeed loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty. I will serve as the frontline soldiers and the court. Thank you!"

The gentry present couldn't help wiping off their sweat, and the leader said: "Master Futai, you have donated twice this year, can you let us slow down the rest?"

Jin Zhijun immediately said: "It's easy to say, easy to say, then who, why hasn't Jiang Zongbing come here? I can be regarded as getting all the money and food he wants!"

Jiang Xiang did ask for a start-up fee, but it wasn't that much. Jin Zhijun mainly raised food for Azig.

"Vice General Yang has already gone to invite him, so he should be here soon." The magistrate smiled apologetically.

Jin Zhijun nodded, and finally solved a major issue.

Many of the country gentry present were slightly taken aback when they heard the words, but Jin Zhijun said helplessly: "Actually, Ben Fu also knows that it is not easy for everyone, but there is nothing he can do. Zongbing Jiang wants money and food, and Ben Fu has no choice. I just asked everyone to borrow it."

The Jiang family is in the Datong area, and their reputation is still very high. After all, it is their own territory, and they rarely extort money. Jin Zhijun's words are purely to sow discord, so that he can do something to the Jiang family later.

"Well, let's set up a banquet first, let's wait for Mr. Jiang to come over at the table!" Jin Zhijun said.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of shouting and killing from outside. After a while, Jiang Xiang led a large group of soldiers in, laughing loudly: "I heard that Jinfutai raised a sum of money and food for me, thank you what!"

The armored soldiers rushed in, without further ado, slaughtered all the Qing troops in the hall, and the magistrate was hacked to death.

Jin Zhijun bumped into the screen behind him, fell to the ground together with the screen, and stammered: "You, you want to rebel~"

Jiang Xiang's face was ferocious, he drew out his knife, and approached step by step. Jin Zhijun, a civil servant, had seen this scene there, and suddenly said in horror: "Mr.

"Oh?" Jiang Xiang lowered the knife, "Who wants to kill me, Old Jiang? You can't tell, I cut you."

"It's Luo Keduo! He's already set up an ambush at Yanmen Gate, and he's just waiting for the commander-in-chief to pass~" Jin Zhijun gasped.

Jiang Xiang frowned, and was instantly furious, "Good guy, Xu Benshuai Shanxi's admiral is a fake, and it's true that he wants my old Jiang's life! Xiao Luo, yes!"
