Chapter Ninety-Six: The Biggest Takeaway

Early the next morning, Chenjiabao.

Liu Juntao sat on the wall of Nanbao, facing the morning breeze, cold and biting, and the breath of winter was getting stronger and stronger.

The Chenjia Fort was full of people, and the thousands of villagers in the fort stayed at home tremblingly, and they didn't know what the Yushan people who entered the fort last night were, and everyone was afraid that their families would be implicated.

At this time, Zhou Zongsheng and the young men who led the horse team attacked in all directions and killed the Chen family's industries around Tangyin County.

According to Liu Juntao's instructions, Zhou Zongsheng will take over all the Chen family's properties and prepare to gradually hand them over to the Ministry of Commerce for management.

At the same time, Chen Ziping also received Liu Juntao's order, and at 10 o'clock in the morning, he led the young men of his department to Chenjiabao, and all the more than 600 captives captured the day before were also brought back.

When these captured Chen family youths saw that Chen Jiabao had been conquered, everyone was like ashes, and they couldn't afford to resist at all.

Chen Ziping placed all the prisoners in the Chen family's house, arranged more than 200 young men to guard them, and then began to count the goods in Chenjiabao according to Liu Juntao's order.

Hundreds of young men of the Yushan Collective Guard team surveyed up and down in Chenjiabao, and it took nearly a day to roughly count out a list.

Chen Ziping took this list and found Liu Juntao, who was wandering around the Chen family's old mansion, and said in a low voice as much as possible: "Mr. Lian, this Chen family is really rich and rivals!" Our Yushan set is developed this time! ”

As he spoke, Chen Ziping handed the list to Liu Juntao, Liu Juntao was also overjoyed, took it and took a look, only to see that the list read: "380,000 taels of silver, 60,000 stones of millet and grain, 170,000 stones of private salt, 73 horses (all horses), and the rest of the miscellaneous items are not counted!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Juntao was also in a mood, as if he was drunk, and his brain was a little dizzy!

"No wonder at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, these thieves, were bent on wandering and looting, and the things they robbed were really rich!"

Liu Juntao sighed secretly in his heart, but he also understood very well that robbing everywhere like Li Zicheng, like locusts transiting, can only be a dead end in the end, and the only way out for development and growth is the growth of one's own strength, which is to be down-to-earth and attach importance to production!

Just when Liu Juntao was pondering, Chen Ziping said excitedly: "Mr. Lian, we also searched a catalogue from the Chen family, which is full of the Chen family's trade routes for selling illicit salt and various goods!"

Liu Juntao was overjoyed when he heard this, where is this atlas? It's a cornucopia!

Liu Juntao said: "After Zhou Zongsheng comes back, immediately hand over this atlas to him, and let Zhou Zongsheng send someone to hand over all the house deeds and land deeds along with this atlas to Tang Yu as soon as possible!" Order the Ministry of Commerce to take over the Chen family's industry as soon as possible! ”

Chen Ziping nodded in response, and then said: "Don't worry, I'll do it right away!" ”

After that, Liu Juntao suddenly remembered the matter of Qianhu in Dong'e County, and he also promised to give all the seizures of the Chen family to Nahuo Qianhu, and he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.

Liu Juntao looked at the list in his hand, calculated in his heart, and it didn't take long for a smile to appear on his face.

Five days later, Tang Yu took Cui Ning and five of his subordinates and hurried to Chenjiabao, and Liu Juntao handed over the contracts and atlases of the Chen family's properties in various places to Tang Yu.

Tang Yu was excited when he saw this, this is equivalent to directly expanding the scale of the Ministry of Commerce several times!

"Mr. Lian, I'll go back, mobilize manpower from Huakou Town and Anshan Town, and open up the situation in Zhangde Mansion!"

Cui Ning next to him also said excitedly: "Steward, then I'll stay here first and give you a front station!" ”

"It's good!"

After dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce, Liu Juntao decided to go to Zhang Qiuzhen immediately, and as for the Chen family's property, Liu Juntao also made a plan:

There are 380,000 taels of silver, and what Liu Juntao lacks now is not silver, so he only left 100,000 taels, and the remaining 280,000 taels of silver are ready to be handed over to Huo Qianhu; As for the 60,000 stone millet and grain, Liu Juntao actually wanted to keep them all, but after thinking about it, Huo Qianhu might also need food, and after weighing it repeatedly, Liu Juntao still took out half of the grain and prepared to hand it over to Huo Qianhu; As for the 170,000 stone of private salt and 73 horses, these are all shady things, and Liu Juntao directly accepted them all!

In addition, Liu Juntao also asked Chen Ziping to find a few bookkeepers from the Chen family's old house, make an account in advance, and let these bookkeepers make a good statement, and promised to give each of them twenty taels of silver as a reward after the matter was completed.

After everything was ready, Liu Juntao led Chen Ziping's troops to drive and rushed towards Zhang Qiuzhen, accompanied only by 280,000 taels of silver and 30,000 stone of grain that were ready to be handed over to Huo Qianhu.

Zhou Zongsheng led the horse team to escort more than 600 prisoners and the rest of the captures, took a detour from the south, and went directly back to Yushanji.

As for Chen Jiabao, Liu Juntao did not plan to set up a stronghold here, one is because this is the Chen family's lair, even if the Chen family is destroyed, there will definitely be a lot of diehards, Liu Juntao is not in the mood to bother to deal with these things; Moreover, Liu Juntao has already made an overall plan for the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce in Henan, and is ready to directly set up warehouses in various cities to deal with related affairs.

After Liu Juntao led the crowd back, Cui Ning set off with a few of his subordinates to investigate the original Chen family's property in Tangyin County, while Tang Yu had returned to Huakou Town before Liu Juntao set off.

At this time, Chen Jiabao finally fell silent, but in a blink of an eye, the cry shook the sky, after all, the thousands of Chen family members who were killed and captured, and many people's family members were in Chenjiabao, these people could be said to be crying and grabbing the ground, and they scolded Chen Herui for causing trouble and bringing disaster to their own family.

At the same time, there were many people rushing towards Tangyin County and wanted to report to the official for help, but these people were stopped by the guards stationed in Tangyin County halfway through, and they were all driven back!

Tangyin County.

Qianhu stationed in the city is only in his thirties, surnamed Zheng, who looks like a white-faced scholar, but his mind is very deep.

As early as when Liu Juntao led the crowd into the territory of Tangyin County, this Zheng Qianhu received the news.

Knowing that it was Haoqiang from Yushan Ji who came to trouble the Chen family, Zheng Qianhu was happy.

In the past, the Chen family was very domineering, relying on the large number of people and the strong power, and they didn't even take themselves as a thousand households in their eyes, which made Zheng Qianhu very depressed in his heart.

This is good, Liu Juntao worked tirelessly, led the crowd from Yushan to rush over, and directly destroyed the Chen family, Zheng Qianhu was too late to be happy, how could he intervene?

Therefore, Zheng Qianhu not only strictly ordered his subordinates to stay closed, but also ordered to set up roadblocks on the road from Chenjiabao to Tangyin County and the surrounding cities, preparing to intercept the Chen family's people who went out to ask for help, and create convenience for Liu Juntao!

has the same mind as Zheng Qianhu, as well as a number of officials of all sizes in Tangyin County and even Zhangde Mansion, which shows how arrogant and domineering the Chen family was in the past!

Of course, Liu Juntao didn't know about these circumstances, and these circumstances were later learned through Liu Zi'an's means.

Just when the officials of Tangyin County and Zhangde Mansion worked together to indirectly help Liu Juntao clean up the whole thing, Liu Juntao finally led Chen Ziping's young men to Zhangqiu Town.
