Chapter 337: Borrowing Food Again

The scorching sun above his head and the biting cold wind in the face are too much, but the taste is really uncomfortable.

On the official road, a cavalry of more than 1,000 horses galloped fast, Chang Yu in the lead looked tired, dusty, looked up at the sun, it was already noon, reached out and took out the water bag from the shore, raised his head and poured a few sips, and threw it to Wu Mengming next to him.

"Qin Xing, how far is it to Datong?" Chang Yu frowned and looked north.

"Back to the factory, there are still more than 20 miles" Qin Xing was the only Dongchang stall head that Chang Yu took away when he returned to Beijing this time, and led the Jinyi guard to be responsible for the investigation and peripheral vigilance along the way.

"Hurry up, go to Datong for lunch!" Chang Yu shouted loudly and rode his horse and whipped.

Chongzhen's order to him was to set off immediately, although he didn't set off at the first time, but he didn't dare to delay a little on the road, to be precise, it was not daring, it was unbearable, at this time, the main movement of the thieves was unknown, Liu Fangliang on the East Road was still wantonly ravaging the Central Plains, he wanted to enter the capital as soon as possible, and then asked for the military power to come back to do this gang of turtle grandsons, and if he delayed for a moment, he would let the common people suffer more.

As soon as Chang Yu and his entourage arrived at the south gate of Datong City, they saw Wei Jingyu leading a kind of civil and military to greet him, and even the prince of the king was also there.

"Congratulations to the factory governor on his triumph, we welcome all the soldiers to enter the city" Wei Jingyu, who had already been informed by the Jinyi Guard, was full of spring breeze, and even looked at Chang Yu with some excitement and cheered loudly.

Although the government and the opposition do not know much about Chang Yu and his people now, there is a lot of scolding, except for those nobles and a few people with unpredictable intentions, there are still some people who are also cloudy.

And Wei Jingyu is one of the few bigwigs who have had contact with Chang Yu, although Chang Yu was in Taiyuan for a short time before, he was resolute, decisive in killing, checking accounts, killing Jiang Jiu, appeasing people's hearts, cutting through chaos with a quick knife, not dragging mud and water at all, and daring to do things, Wei Jingyu admired him very much for this.

And Datong and Taiyuan are not very far apart, from the beginning to the end of the war, Wei Jingyu is extremely concerned, Chang Yu's various actions and all kinds of road gossip news he received together, from secretly surprised to extremely shocked It only took less than half a month.

At this time, when the little eunuch who was still immature and white before, appeared in front of him again, he was no longer angry and arrogant, and his momentum was compelling, and the kind of aura that was indifferent but murderous and made people shudder only has those who rushed through the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood.

This man will not be a thing of the pool

Wei Jingyu thought to herself.

"Master Wei, don't come unharmed, your old feet are better?" Chang Yu grinned, Wei Jingyu was stunned for a while, isn't this still the little eunuch, it's just darker, rougher, but stronger.

"The labor factory superintendent is worried, the little old man's feet are much better!" Wei Jingyu was happy and smiling in her heart.

"Lord Factory Governor, my father is preparing a banquet in the palace to celebrate the success of the adults, and I congratulate the Lord Factory Governor on his triumph" Zhu Yi, the son of the king, was really much more respectful than when he sent Chang Yu out of the city to Taiyuan before.

Chang Yu clenched his fists: "Thank you for the hospitality, the governor also happens to have something to discuss with the king" said and made a gesture of invitation, and then entered Datong City with Wei Jingyu and others.

Only Chang Yu and Wu Mengming, as well as more than 50 attendants led by Li Tiezhu and Fan Jiaqian, entered the city, and the others were all outside the city, making a fire on the spot to make food, and of course, the wine and food for the royal palace had already been prepared.

When I entered the city again, I suddenly had the feeling that things were wrong, and I thought that I was a rookie who ran for several days overnight, and entered Datong City exhausted, at that time, there were hidden killing opportunities everywhere, and I wanted to fight wits and courage with Jiang Xuan, and one was not careful, and at that time, there were other forces who watched him coldly and the two of them fight, that is, even ordinary people did not have a good impression of him, a dead eunuch, even if he killed the overlord of Datong later, it did not change.

However, at this time, just entered the city, he was warmly welcomed, and there were people waving along the street from time to time, although many people did not know him, babbling and shouting the general's mighty and other congratulatory words, thinking that these people just heard that the guards who stuck to Taiyuan returned to Beijing and passed through Taiyuan to be invited to come to the palace as a guest, as for which general, they did not know.

Why are these people so enthusiastic, it is very simple, if the thief army breaks Taiyuan, Datong will definitely be the next target, so the entire Datong to the gentry and the ordinary people, no one wants their homeland to be ravaged by thieves, so Taiyuan is protected, the thief army is far away, they are very excited and spontaneously moved.

When Chang Yu set off from Taiyuan, Jinyiwei's open road to explore the horse had been scattered fifty miles away, so when he was still more than fifty miles away from Datong, the acting king had received the news and began to arrange the banquet.

Although it is still a little hasty, it is rich enough, and the gentry in the city are invited to be the company, which is Chang Yu's favorite group of people and the most urgently needed connections at the moment.

And the acting king Zhu Chuanji didn't know if he suddenly opened his mind, and he did what he liked.

As soon as the banquet opened, everyone's questions focused on the battle of Taiyuan and the movement of the thieves in this matter, Chang Yu made a long story short: the thieves were defeated and fled, and their whereabouts are unknown, but they will never appear outside Datong City.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Chang Yu didn't want to talk about this topic, so they focused their attention on Wu Mengming, this guy loves to show off, and he loves to be in the limelight, and his mouth attracted everyone.

This is also the effect that Chang Yu wants, after eating some simply, he motioned to Zhu Chuan, the acting king, for a few private chats.

Immediately, in a study, Zhu Chuanji, Zhu Yiqi and Chang Yu began to talk secretly.

I don't want silver, I want food, how much I want, and send it to Taiyuan as soon as possible to deal with the upcoming food shortage.

As soon as Chang Yu spoke, the father and son of the acting king changed their faces.

Chang Yu borrowed a lot of silver and borrowed a lot of food before, saying that he would repay it soon, but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and he didn't say three words when he first met, and he asked for food, and he kicked his nose and face, and his face was thick, even if the acting king was mentally prepared, he was still blackened by Chang Yu's direct face.

And the prince is even about to turn his face.

Looking at the words, Chang Yu knew that the father and son were psychologically unhappy, and they were not to blame, after all, this matter was not happy for anyone, you didn't look for the king of Jin in the Taiyuan war, but borrowed silver and grain from the palace of the king, and after the war, Taiyuan had a food shortage and asked me to post grain, so I really can't say it, I am the acting king of Datong, not the king of Jin in Taiyuan.

"Acting king, it's still the old saying, it's borrowing not asking you to donate, this governor is only a temporary turnover for you on behalf of the imperial court, and it is related to the national body, and the imperial court will naturally not do that turn around and deny it, so it is said that the 200,000 yuan borrowed from you has been repaid, and within half a month as agreed."

Previously, Chang Yu borrowed 200,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stone of grain from the acting king, together with Wu Mengming and Wei Jingming, who jointly signed a guarantee to repay it within half a month, and the acting king agreed to borrow it.

In order not to break his promise, Chang Yu once sent a secret letter to Chongzhen asking him to transfer silver from the capital to repay the 200,000 silver first, as for how long the grain matter can be delayed.

Later, because Chang Yu made a lot of black gold in Taiyuan, Chongzhen did not go all the way from the capital to repay the silver, but asked Chunxiang to pay back the 200,000 yuan when he passed through Datong with the silver.

For this, the king is a little surprised, more relieved, and of course, dissatisfied, why not return the grain?

But the war in Taiyuan is urgent, he doesn't dare to collect debts at this moment, Chongzhen can't kill him when he gets angry, and the spit of public opinion can drown him.

"Lord Factory Governor, although the silver has been returned, the 100,000 stone grain has not yet been ......" As soon as Chang Yu's words fell, the prince couldn't help but speak.

"Shut up! Monkey business! Zhu Chuan shouted angrily, and the prince hurriedly clasped his fists and kowtowed to Chang Yu.

"The child is untrustworthy, and the factory supervisor is not strange!"

Chang Yu smiled slightly, and the murderous aura in his eyes loomed: "It's okay."

Shizi inadvertently met Chang Yu's eyes, and couldn't help but tremble.

He realized he had said the wrong thing.

After all, the prince is just a teenager, he is not deeply involved in the world, he does not know the world, and he does not understand the way to get along with the monarch and the minister.

It is the imperial court that owes the food to the royal palace, whose court owns, and it is not Chongzhen's.

Who is in this world? Chongzhen's.

In short, I lend you money, you can pay it back, you can pay it back, I will pay it back for the sake of fame, but I may not pay it back immediately, I can delay, but you must not rush!

Debt collection is to slap Chongzhen in the face, and secondly, when the national disaster is at the head, you don't contribute to the fire, isn't this looking for death?

Therefore, Zhu Chuanji can refuse to donate grain or even borrow grain, but he definitely does not dare to urge the court to return the grain, he knows that mentioning this matter at this juncture annoys Chongzhen, and he will have a hundred ways to complete the palace.
