Chapter 189: Coaxing and Deception
"Oh? You say that you were wronged, so you must have never given money and food to the thief army? ”
"Naturally! Nature! Zhao Jiao nodded desperately.
"The 600 stone grain and grass on the thirteenth day of January this year has nothing to do with you, right?"
"It's okay! Absolutely never! ”
"Han Yuanjun, I don't know how many fields and farms this Zhao family has." Ma Qiang looked at Han Zhuo.
"This..."Han Zhuo looked at Zhao Jiao, and Zhao Jiao immediately shouted, "The grass people have two granges, more than 100 tenants, and nearly 10,000 acres of fields. ”
The fields of the Han Dynasty have large acres and small acres, the small acres are 100 steps abbot, the large acres are 240 steps, and the area of later generations is about 465 square meters, only seventy percent of the size of the later acres, and the small acres are less than 200 square meters.
In the Han Dynasty, a normal strong laborer could plant about 50 small acres, and a household was generally two strong laborers, that is, it could plant 100 small acres, so there was a farming thing, ploughing 100 acres all year round, and the harvest of 100 acres was only 20 words.
Therefore, Han Zhuo has 100 tenants, and he can cultivate 10,000 mu at most, which is because there will be many livestock in the grange to help cultivate.
"Okay, 10,000 acres, one acre is counted as one and a half stones of your middle yield, and after 30 taxes, you will get 14,500 stones, you will be the master of the family, collect half of the rent of Thailand, and get 7,250 stones, and you will not only send money and grain to the thieves in this account book, if you want to say that this account book is fake, then good, if you can take out 5,000 stone of grain, I will believe that what you say is true!"
"Five thousand!!" Zhao Jiao was almost stunned by this number, "Envoy, this... That's too much! ”
"Humph! Do you think I'm going to swallow up your wealth? Joke really, I'll send a sergeant to follow you, and if you have grain in your storehouse, I won't take you a grain of grain! Ma Qiang looked disdainful, as if Zhao Jiao was being a villain.
"This..."Zhao Jiao has a headache now, he doesn't seem to have so much food in stock.
Zhao Jiao is not a supporter, he is really a supporter of Taiping Dao, he is also unlucky, it turned out that the person who connected with him was captured by Ma Qiang, because he was afraid of being killed, he made all the moves, and this time he was killed by Ma Qiang as a chicken to the monkey below.
Wow, whoa, whoa.
At this time, Duan Ying quickly came over from a distance with hundreds of soldiers.
"Don't make a noise, just wait and see what happens!" Duan Ying commanded in a low voice, and then shouted loudly, "Ming Gong!" Tie Mian was worried that there was convenience here, so he specially dispatched five hundred elites to reinforce Ming Gong! ”
"If you have a heart, come up quickly!"
When the people below saw five hundred armor soldiers, their faces were all green, what did this mean? Will they be ready to arrest people according to the account books?
"Ming Gong, can you receive the account books?" Duan Ying shouted loudly before the four-wheeled vehicle was lifted onto the high platform by the sergeant.
"I've received it, I'm confronting it, I randomly found a house to inquire, but I was told that the account book was false, even Kou Duwei said." Ma Qiang stepped forward to help Duan Ying up, Duan Ying hurriedly looked back at Kou Xian and shouted, "Confused!" How can an account book with such a time, place, and financial details be fake? ”
Kou Xian shook his head and said, "The moth thief is cunning, and it still needs to be verified." ”
"How do I verify?"
Ma Qiang pointed to Zhao Jiao, who was lying on his stomach below, and said, "I thought of a way, this Zhao family has 10,000 acres of land, and he has more than 7,000 yuan of grain a year, and if he still has more than 6,000 stones of grain in his warehouse, it can be trusted." ”
"Do you have any in your warehouse?" Duan Ying looked at Zhao Jiao with the rest of his eyes.
Zhao Jiao also thought clearly at this time, if he said no, he had to really be punished as a Taiping Dao, although six thousand stones were more, but just like Ma Qiang said, it was not to swallow his own grain, he could buy or borrow some!
"Yes! Yes! ”
"Humph! Ming Gong, although the Zhao family has it, but others may not have it, as long as there is one person who has no food in the warehouse, and I don't know why, I can see this account book can be true! ”
The people below are cold in their hearts, what do you mean? Who in the account book has not yet been counted, but there must have been so many people below who have given money and food to the moth thief, but everyone knows it in their hearts.
"Ming Gong, maybe someone has sold the grain?" Kou Xian continued his role.
"Sold? Who did you sell it to? That has to be investigated, as long as it is in this Youzhou, you can't run! ”
"What if it's sold out of state?"
"Since ancient times, only Qingzhou and Jizhou have sold grain to Youzhou, and I haven't heard of anyone transporting grain out of Youzhou, not to mention that Jizhou has Zhang Jiao as a mess, if it is shipped out of Youzhou, it must be given to Zhang Jiao, so it doesn't care about the cost!" Ma Qiang directly blocked the thoughts of many people below.
"Ming Gong, I look at the account books if they are false, and they are only false in name, such as using the Zhao family to refer to other people to confuse the public, but it is impossible to say that the moth thief deliberately made such an account book!" Duan Ying also continued to act.
"Reasonable! So what do you say? ”
"Ming Gong can verify the amount of grain in the warehouse according to all the fields owned by the families, if there is a little, then the reason must be clearly explained, if it is not clear, it must be a person who secretly communicates with the moth thief!"
"Han Envoy-kun, what do you see?" Ma Qiang looked at Han Zhuo, Han Zhuo was sweating, there seemed to be something wrong with this matter, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, but this Taiping matter was now absolutely politically correct, what Ma Qiang and the others just said didn't seem to be wrong, and he couldn't say anything against it for a while.
"It seems that Han Envoy Jun also agreed, okay, Kou Duwei, you are from another county, and there are few interests involved, so this matter will be handed over to you, how about it?"
When the people below heard that Ma Qiang gave the matter to Kou Xian instead of the iron mask who seemed to want to kill everyone, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and many people even nodded secretly, thinking that this was because Ma Qiang didn't want to tear his face with the Youzhou Shi clan.
"Ming Gong, there has been a shortage of food in the army recently, if there is food among the people, you can buy it!"
As soon as Duan Ying finished speaking, he felt a heat in his back, and he could know how many people were staring at him now without looking back.
"Well, that's reasonable, Captain Koudu, after you check out the amount, you can buy seventy percent of the grain in its inventory at the market price for military use!"
"No!"
"Do you have any comments?" Ma Qiang looked down and asked.
At this time, who dares to say that they have an opinion and are waiting to be caught?
Looking at the silence below, Duan Ying, Ma Qiang and Kou Xian glanced at each other, and they succeeded!
Of course, the following scholars who don't speak will definitely not hand over the grain honestly, and there are still those who have to fight wits and courage later, which depends on Kou Xian's wisdom.
