Chapter 798: Shortage of Silver Taels

Everything seems to have returned to calm in Jinling.

Regardless of other things, there are many more merchants than before.

As soon as there are more merchants, it can be shown that there are fewer people in Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Gu Zizhong secretly rejoiced in his heart.

She was one of the few people in the house who could catch her breath.

The court couldn't sit still, it could wait for a while, but it couldn't wait for a lifetime.

The last time the Tartars were sent back to the Mongolian steppe, the defenders of the capital became more prestigious.

The local vassal kings were frightened and prepared to attach themselves to the imperial court.

In fact, they were originally from the imperial court, but now the world is a little chaotic.

The little emperor's biggest worry is the Kang Mian King.

Even Zhu Lequan didn't move.

However, the little emperor will not forget that when the first emperor had just died, Zhu Lequan spread the news of the death of the first emperor.

It has spread all over the country, for fear that others will not know about it.

That's why the Tartar soldiers dared to come south again and again to make trouble.

The little emperor hated this person in his heart, Zhu Lequan, although he was his uncle's generation, but he gave him too many threats.

The little emperor kept these people in his heart one by one and prepared to get rid of them one by one.

In the blink of an eye, it has come to the beginning of spring of the following year.

The people are busy with the new year and return to the fields to sow seeds.

They were also frightened by local disasters, and with the presence of rebel armies, the local people could not concentrate on farming at all.

But after Chinese New Year's Eve, everything was much better.

The imperial court first defeated the Tartar soldiers, and later wiped out the local rebel armies north of the Yangtze River.

All this is the credit of Zhu Changxi.

The four strong generals under Zhu Changxi are not fuel-efficient lamps.

The little emperor must not only use them, but also have to guard against them.

Although Zhu Changxi won the battle, he always had a sense of depression.

He was still unhappy.

Gu Zizhong gathered the people in Jiangsu again and asked them to go back and sow seeds.

In the past year, Jiangsu's borders have been unstable.

First there were rebels who came to make trouble, and then there were Japanese bandits.

The men in Jiangsu are gone, leaving only women and children, which is indeed unsafe.

It's been okay this year.

There is one more thing, Gu Zizhong is about to give birth.

Her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the whole person's movement is becoming more and more inconvenient.

Aunt Cui took the other three midwives and kept circling around Gu Zizhong day and night.

They were afraid that Aunt Cui would lose a strand of hair.

Gu Zizhong lay on the bed, but he was still worried about the situation in Jiangsu.

Recently, the barracks has run out of money.

There was no news from Uncle Li's side either.

In fact, if it is logically speaking, Uncle Li and they should have sent the silver.

This time, however, it didn't.

Gu Zizhong also knew that they were a little stinky and shameless: "The rich businessmen in Jiangnan are really too helpful to our Jinling. The imperial court did not pay the soldiers, and the barracks in Jinling could not be operated. Now we are running out of silver again. ”

Aunt Cui helped Gu Zi cover the quilt and said in a low voice: "Young lady, don't worry about the silver salary first." Feng Ming, she had already sent someone to Jiangnan to ask for it. ”

Alas, as soon as the word "ask" was mentioned, Gu Zizhong's face turned red and hot.

She didn't know how many times she had opened her mouth to the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan because of the silver salary.

It can be said that the wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River fed the barracks in Jinling.

What's going on here?

As soon as he mentioned this, Gu Zizhong was angry.

How could the little emperor He De and the people of the Jinling Barracks occupy it.

He's really not idle, he has a big appetite.

The establishment of the Jinling Barracks, does it have anything to do with the little emperor?

Brother Zishan hasn't replied until now.

Gu Zizhong's eyes were filled with tears.

Qing'er is also a big child, and she knows what Gu Zizhong thinks nine times out of ten.

He had been waiting by Gu Zizhong's side, waiting for Gu Zizhong to call him.

Gu Zizhong didn't call when he was awake, but he couldn't help but call his name when he was asleep.

Qing'er was right next to her and squeezed her hand.

"Mother, Qing'er is here. Qing'er saw that there were beads of sweat on her mother's forehead, and she couldn't bear it.

Aunt Cui comforted Qing'er: "Your mother is fine, she is just overworked." ”

Although Qing'er didn't say anything, he was very worried in his heart.

Gu Zi woke up again, his mind full of beads of sweat.

Qing'er comforted her beside her and said, "Mother, don't worry, my father is not in Jinling, and Qing'er is here." We in Jinling will not suffer the losses of outsiders. ”

He's a silly boy, small people, but his ambitions are lofty.

But Gu Zizhong also likes his appearance.

She touched Qing'er's head and said with a smile: "In another ten years, you will grow up." ”

Where could Qing'er wait that long.

He couldn't wait to get on the horse now, and quickly lead the soldiers and horses to break through the Shu Road in Sichuan and Shu.

Gu Zizhong sneered and laughed.

Qing'er said: "Before my father left, I told Qing'er to let Qing'er take good care of her mother. Now that the little brother is about to be born, Qing'er has to resist responsibility even more. Don't we still have 10,000 people in Jinling?"

Gu Zizhong was suddenly stunned.

Aunt Cui hurriedly waved her hand and asked the mother-in-law beside her to hurry out.

Aunt Cui closed the door tightly, and she went out herself.

Now there are only two people in the house, Gu Zizhong and Qing'er.

"Qing'er, who told you that we still have 10,000 people in Jinling?" Gu Zizhong's head suddenly ticked, and beads of sweat kept dripping.

Qing'er helped her mother wipe the sweat from her forehead, and said, "Mother, this is what my father told me. My father said I don't want to tell my mother. I just saw that you are too bitter every day, so I can't bear it, so I told you about it. How, you ...... Don't you know?"

Gu Zizhong was dumbfounded.

She thought about it, rolled her eyes, and immediately smiled awkwardly, and said, "I know, how can I not know?"

Then she began to become serious again: "But this matter is only known to our family. Don't let anyone outside know about it. ”

In this matter, Qing'er is still very proud.

He has this self-confidence.

He also advised his mother: "We don't have to be reasonable about the silver salary of the Jinling Barracks." If you should ask them directly, you should ask them. ”

Gu Zizhong died of shame.

As a woman, she has now become a person who offends the world's businessmen.

The black cauldron of the Zhu family in Jinling needs to be carried by Gu Zi again.

How much silver did the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan throw into the Jinling barracks.

And now?

The Jinling Barracks has become a bottomless pit.

As long as Gu Zizhong and the rich people in Jiangnan reached out and asked for silver taels, they had to give it.

Didn't the Zhu family in Jinling become robbers? Forcibly extorting money from other people.
