Chapter 133: Life is Short, Eat and Drink Well

Eunuchs such as Liu Wenzhong are the best at observing words and feelings, the so-called seeing people and talking about people, and talking about ghosts.

He could see that Qin Chuan was a person who said nothing, it was easy to deal with this kind of person, and what the other party wanted, he would give it.

However, he felt that a hundred true slave heads were missing.

This level can't be sold for a few dollars, and it doesn't make much money.

He didn't rush to bargain, but asked Qin Chuan first why Xue Dongting and Dong Liang had something to do.

Qin Chuan directly and clearly told the other party that Dong Liang deliberately made things difficult for him when he took office, closed the door of the thousand households and did not let him in, and confiscated his hundred households waist cards, which almost caused a fire fight between the two armies.

When he went out of the pass to intercept and kill Jiannu, Dong Liang colluded with Xue Dongting, the commander of Zhenxiwei, to arrest his people at the Biaotou Pass, close the Guancheng, prevent him from entering the pass, and put him in danger of being pursued by Jiannu.

The reason for this was because Qin Chuan did not deal with the Jin merchants of Jingle, Lanxian and Zhangjiakou Fort, and those people bought Dong Liang and Xue Dongting and wanted to put him to death.

After listening to Qin Chuan's words, Liu Wenzhong did not rush to respond, but took a sip of soju and fell into deep thought.

It is not difficult for Liu Wenzhong to let a guard commander and a thousand households have something to do, even if Xue Dongting and Dong Liang are not the generals of Datong Town, his hand can't be stretched that long.

But he has a great friendship with Liu Yunzhong, the Shanxi supervisor, and he only needs to say hello, let Liu Yunzhong go to the script, and tell the truth what Qin Chuan said, and the emperor will inevitably be furious and dismiss those two.

The problem is that he, Liu Wenzhong, has a good relationship with Xuanda and the Jin merchants in Shanxi.

Those Jin merchants will honor him a lot of gold and silver treasures every year, especially the Fan family, there is grain all the year round through Datong into the Xuanfu, or directly from Datong out of the customs, there is no need to go up and down.

If he helps Qin Chuan get rid of Xue Dongting and Dong Liang, he will inevitably have a bad relationship with those Jin merchants, and I am afraid that there will not be so much filial piety in the future.

Moreover, many of the generals in Xuanda and Shanxi are from the wealthy families of Jin merchants, especially the Shanxi Xingdu Division of Datong, as well as the Wanquan Division of Xuanfu, the commanders of these two divisions are all commanders, commanders, etc., either Jin merchants, or they are involved in another share with Jin merchants, and they have to get a lot of profits every year.

Even the generals of the various supervision battalions also take a lot of benefits from the Jin merchants every year.

Just before Liu Wenzhong came to Qin Chuan, a commander of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, who had a close relationship with the Fan family, also mobilized 2,000 men and horses, preparing to beat Qin Chuan into a spy in the east, and killed him in one fell swoop while he did not pass the Ningwu Pass.

Fortunately, the commander was quite sensible and stopped him in time, otherwise it would have caused a catastrophe.

So many Ming troops killed each other in Datong Town, such a big event could not be covered, once someone stabbed it, then Xuanda and Shanxi officialdom would all suffer.

The emperor even killed Yuan Chonghuan, what are these generals of Xuanda, they can kill a river of blood in one net.

The people were stopped, but the hatred of General Xuan for Qin Chuan was getting thicker and thicker.

Liu Wenzhong came to make a deal with Qin Chuan, and he risked having a bad relationship with General Xuan, he originally planned to take the first rank and share a little merit with the general army of Datong, the commander of Shanxi and several key figures, and he could still be like a fish in water in Datong in the future.

But now, Qin Chuan asked him to kill Xue Dongting and Dong Liang, and he had to think about it.

There is no doubt that once those two people are killed, it means that they will completely have a bad relationship with Xuanda and the generals in Shanxi, and the consequences can be imagined.

But the surname Qin is another person who says the same, if he doesn't agree to him, he will definitely not be able to get a few heads.

After thinking about it, Liu Wenzhong finally proposed a compromise solution, he could help Qin Chuan get rid of Dong Liang, it was just a small role, just report him to make things difficult for Qin Chuan, and the impact would not be too great.

But you can't do Xue Dongting, because it's too much involved.

In addition to trying to help Qin Chuan win the position of a thousand households in Ninghua Institute, Liu Wenzhong will also help Qin Chuan pass through Ningwu Pass.

He said that Dong Liang had already returned, and had bribed the general of Ningwuguan Town, intending to block Qin Chuan in Datong.

Without Liu Wenzhong's help, Qin Chuan would not have been able to pass Ningwu Pass.

After hearing his words, Qin Chuan frowned and thought for a moment, and began to bargain with the other party.

It wasn't until the last grain wagon of the convoy passed that they finally made a deal.

Qin Chuan gave Liu Wenzhong two hundred real slaves and two hundred Tatar heads, and Liu Wenzhong gave him 1,500 taels of silver, helping him get Dong Liang and solve the trouble of Ning Wuguan, and the emperor sent people to investigate his robbery.

After the transaction was completed, Liu Wenzhong took his subordinates and went to Ningwu Pass with Qin Chuan.

Sure enough, when I got there, the door was closed, and Dong Liang was standing on the city tower, looking at Qin Chuan coldly from afar.

Qin Chuan and Liu Wenzhong rode forward together, and when they arrived at the Guancheng, Liu Wenzhong shouted in a sharp voice: "I am Liu Wenzhong, the Datong Prison Army, who returned from the attack on the Dongyu with the attack on the Qinchuan Pass of the 100 households in Ninghua, and was ordered to enter Shanxi to find Liu Yunzhong, the prison army, to discuss the suppression of bandits, and to open the city gate quickly, let me wait for the army to pass." ”

As soon as he heard this name, Dong Liang's face turned white in Guancheng.

The general of the town guard next to him also changed his face greatly, and hurriedly ran down the city tower and ordered the people to open the gate.

Although the eunuchs of the prison army have no real power, they can reach the heavens, even the governor of Xuanda has to give Liu Wenzhong some face, and he will not dare to stop the other party as a small general.

After the gate was opened, Qin Chuan led 300 Guan Imperial Army, and Liu Wenzhong also led his 300 subordinates to enter and occupy both ends of the gate.

When the huge convoy was about to pass, Qin Chuan rode his horse to the middle of the city, looked up at Dong Liang on the city tower, and said, "Dong Qianhu, I only ask you, where are my people locked up?" ”

Dong Liang's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

"Okay, you've got it!"

Qin Chuan sneered and said, "Be kind to yourself these days, life is short, but you have to eat and drink well." ”

The horizontal flesh on Dong Liang's face jumped a few times, his face was pale, and he still didn't say a word.

Qin Chuan said again: "Tell Master Xue a few words for me, if he knows each other, obediently send my people back to Lou Fu, otherwise he will regret it." ”

After saying that, Qin Chuan rode his horse and followed the tail end of the convoy, out of Guancheng, and then turned around and arched his hand: "Brother Liu, thank you." ”

Liu Wenzhong replied with a smile in the city gate: "Brother Qin, our brothers can have more exchanges in the future." ”

"It should."

"Brother Qin, there will be a period later."

"There will be a date later."

……

After the news that Grand Steward Qin had passed Ningwu Pass came back, the whole Lou Fu was boiling.

The villagers happily put up their lanterns in Lou Fu, waiting for the triumphant return of the Great Steward of Qin, and then held a celebration banquet, and they had meat to eat.

Today's Lou Fu is no longer the desolate and lonely town of the past.

Qinchuan took in a total of 3,000 hungry people, plus Guan Dijun, Lou Fu's original villagers, and Jingyou Town's villagers who temporarily came to help repair the reservoir, a total of more than 5,000 people.

The town is planned according to Qinchuan's drawings, built on the mountain, and the five streets are like an east-west "middle" character, neatly aligned, with only two entrances and exits from the east and west, which can better set up defense facilities.

Now there are three green buildings in the town, one is the Cuixiang Building in Jingle County that was smashed by the Wu family, and I can't stay in the county, so I am annoyed to move to Lou.

The other two were the secret men of the former county seat, and after arriving in Lou Fu, they built two buildings with the help of Wang Jizong, and opened their doors to do business.

In addition to the Qinglou, there are more than ten shops such as grain shops, iron shops, wine shops, tea shops, restaurants, grocery stores, etc., most of which are Qinchuan's industries, and Wang Jizong helped him open them.

With commerce, there will be merchants, and these days there are small traders from Taiyuan in the east, Fangshanbao in the west, Jingle and Lanxian in the north, selling miscellaneous things, as well as stablers from the mountains, bringing cattle, sheep, mules and horses, to sell in the town.

Wang Jizong attached great importance to these stables, and all those who came to sell their cattle were entertained, and selected strong cattle and mules from them, as well as some Lou Fu horses that could be used as war horses, and bought them at a price not lower than the market price.

In addition to this, he also registered all the stables, asked where they lived, where they grazed, etc., so that they could be managed in the future.

And tell those horsemen that they can come to Mengjiazhuang in case of any trouble, whether it is a bandit, a lack of food and clothing, or a lack of forage and concentrate for feeding horses, Mengjiazhuang can give them interest-free loans.

This is Qin Chuan's commercial promotion means, providing basic help to the herdsmen, so that they can continue to raise cattle, sheep, mules and horses, and develop animal husbandry, which not only ensures that Lou Fu has sufficient arable land and animal power, but also can activate the market and benefit the people's livelihood.

Nowadays, Lou Fu has formed a certain commercial prototype.

After the villagers returned from going out to repair water conservancy, they would drink tea and brag in the tea shed in groups, and those with a little money would go to the shop, buy a few groceries, drink two or two small wines, or sneak into the green building from behind.

After hearing that the chief steward was going to return triumphantly, the whole Lou Fu became more and more lively.

Compared with the joy outside, the inside of Mengjiazhuang is much quieter.

Hundreds of Guan imperial troops are making coffins.

This time, they are going to prepare a lot of coffins.
