Seeing that the Jin merchants all said this, Chen Xinjia also nodded and said: "Today's factory guards are getting stronger and stronger, and they are no longer like a few years ago. For the sake of safety, this official also thinks that your business should be handed over as soon as possible. As long as there is no evidence for the factory guards, the official is the governor of Xuanda, the feudal official of the Ming Dynasty, and there is support from the DPRK and the central government, and those factory guards will not be able to turn the sky when they go out of Beijing. ”

Speaking of this, he frowned and sighed again: "I don't know how those people in the DPRK and China did it, it's been half a month since the war ended, why hasn't the appointment of Lu Xiangsheng and others come out yet?" It seems that the strength in this matter is not enough, so that the emperor has the energy to toss so much about other things! ”

"Yes, the Governor is right!" When Wang Dengku heard this, he immediately chimed in, "You can't let the emperor hold on to this matter, you have to divert his energy......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if he had said something similar when he was in Beijing a few days ago, and then found that the food problem was even more ferocious than the silver ticket problem, and it was difficult to deal with. I just said that, it can't be anything more serious than the food problem, right?

Thinking so, he suddenly couldn't say any more.

However, Chen Xinjia nodded and said, "This official will repair a letter in a while, and contact the Yang Pavilion Department to inquire about the situation." If necessary, see if there is a chance to go to Beijing in person and touch the emperor's bottom. ”

"If an adult comes out, I believe that it will definitely turn a big thing into a small thing." Fan Yongdou heard this, and hurriedly replied, but he remembered his younger brother in his heart, and now he can't take care of him with a lot of troubles.

Chen Xinjia discussed with these Jin merchants for a while, and then decided to go to Liaodong as soon as possible to contact the transaction, and at the same time concentrate all the materials from all over the country to Zhangjiakou as soon as possible. In this way, you can get out of the customs at any time.

The Jin merchants estimated to each other that it would take at least half a month to transport the materials from all over the country to Zhangjiakou. After all, there are places where you can't blatantly deliver. For the sake of safety, Chen Xinjia also had to find a way to drag the emperor to send factory guards to Shanxi, at least not to Zhangjiakou.

Naturally, they didn't know that the Grade A eavesdropping seed on Chen Xinjia's body had passed everything they had discussed to Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in Beijing.

After reading this information, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile, hehe, this is the effect! It's good to concentrate in Zhangjiakou, save a lot of trouble!

Also, don't you Chen Xinjia want to come to Jingshi? Yes, you don't have to find an excuse to come to Jingshi, I can give you one right away.

Thinking like this, a holy decree soon came out, probably the content, that is, the factory guard found out that behind the grain merchants who hoarded grain, they were all from Jin merchants. It is said that the grain that was hoarded before was transported to Jindi. He asked Chen Xinjia to return to Beijing to meet with him, discuss cooperation with the factory guard, and continue to investigate the matter thoroughly.

After sending this will, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and then went to the imperial horse prison barracks.

All the refugees recruited by the three battalions have been brought to the barracks. Not to mention, these refugees are full of bitter hatred for Jianyu, as soon as they heard that there is a chance to take revenge, plus they are still under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and they belong to the emperor's army, so they don't care if they will be military households for the rest of their lives, and they have rushed to ask to join, and they have also made the three major battalions have a carefully selected comparison, and the quality of this soldier still makes the general soldiers satisfied.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen arrived, he first went through the motions and took a look at these recruits, so that these recruits had a good impression of themselves. Later, he summoned He Renlong, the chief soldier of the hussar battalion, separately at the Yamen of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

"Do He Qing's subordinates know how to ambush and arrest people if they are familiar with the grassland terrain?" Emperor Chongzhen asked after he saw the salute, "And people must be loyal, work steadily, and have the ability to adapt on the spot." ”

Hearing this, He Renlong couldn't help but scratch his head, the requirements are a bit high, it seems that there are not many people who are eligible, especially on the spot, that is to say, the emperor is going to the grassland to scratch his tongue, and the danger is also very high!

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and was not in a hurry, just waiting for him to think about it.

"Your Majesty, the last general thought for a while, or someone is more suitable." He Renlong thought for a while before he said loudly, "His name is Han Leyu, he was originally a hundred households, and in the battle of Tianjin, it was he who had an idea and came up with a way to set fire to his clothes first and then burn the Jianyu passage." Now in my hussar camp there are thousands of households! ”

The merits of the Ming soldiers can be chosen by two options, that is, they can be exchanged for rewards, or they can be promoted by accumulating merit. The former Man Gui, and now Huang Degong of the Yongwei Battalion, all started from small soldiers, if it weren't for the fact that both of them took some credit for money, they would have been general soldiers a long time ago.

This Han Leyu is also, only promoted by one level, from 100 households to 1,000 households, and the rest are exchanged for money, but he did not use it for gambling money like other soldiers, but said that he would buy a house in Beijing. Some people who know the inside story said that this guy wants to marry a daughter-in-law.

Emperor Chongzhen listened, and after asking about the situation called Han Leyu, he asked He Renlong to go back and replaced Han Leyu.

I have to say that Han Leyu was quite excited to see the emperor alone.

After he greeted him, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to him: "I heard from General He that you have made great contributions to the battle of Tianjin!" ”

Hearing the emperor praise his proud deeds in person, Han Leyu couldn't help but grin and become modest.

This Han Leyu's family background is actually good, at least he should be regarded as a rich peasant in northern Shaanxi. However, when he was robbed and his home was gone, he joined the army to kill the thieves. Emperor Chongzhen knew about these things from He Renlong.

But at this time, he also gossiped about another thing: "I heard that you exchanged your military merits for silver, and you are going to buy a house in Beijing to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

Hearing this, Han Leyu couldn't help grinning again, and at the same time explained to the emperor: "It's a girl I met on the battlefield. It's the ...... I encountered when I burned the bridge."

This matter is also fate, and at this time the emperor asked him again, so he talked about it in detail. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would think it was bad to talk to the emperor about it. After all, the emperor has a lot of opportunities, who cares about the goosebumps of your little soldier.

However, Han Leyu feels different from others, and always feels that the emperor has a family-like intimacy with them, so he has no scruples about others, since the emperor asks, let's talk!

Emperor Chongzhen originally just wanted to take a look at this Han Leyu's situation from the side, after all, it was a matter of Jin Shang, so it was better to be careful. Unexpectedly, I actually heard a gossip. It turned out that this girl Han Leyu had a crush on was connected with Wu Zhong.

Knowing this situation, Emperor Chongzhen was basically sure that this Han Leyu would not have a problem. Besides, don't you still have the seed of eavesdropping? Even if he really has a problem, he can deal with it in time.

Thinking of this, he made a serious face and said to Han Leyu: "I learned that a traitor sent someone from Zhangjiakou to Liaodong to contact Jianyu. Are you sure you're going to get the messenger for me? ”

"Your Majesty, I wonder when this man will set off?" When Han Leyu heard this, he was stunned for a moment and immediately asked, "How many followers did you bring?" ”

"It is estimated that it will depart this afternoon, and tomorrow at the latest." Emperor Chongzhen replied, and then said uncertainly, "I'm not sure how many people I will bring." ”

When Han Leyu heard this, he began to ask other questions, and he didn't hold it in his heart because the person in front of him was the emperor he respected.

Emperor Chongzhen was also patient with this, and explained the situation, including explaining what the Jin merchants were sending, but he didn't say which Jin merchant it was. In this regard, Han Leyu was not abnormal at all, and after understanding the whole situation, he assured Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the last general will lead his brothers out of the customs to intercept him, and he will definitely be able to capture this person." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was sure when he heard what he said, and he was also happy in his heart, and immediately gave him a secret decree, even He Renlong didn't know what he was going to do, so he led his thousand light horses, asked for some things that had been seized before, and took the first-class eavesdropping seeds on his body, and immediately left the capital division.

Besides, Chen Xinjia was overjoyed when he received the order, but he didn't expect to encounter a pillow when he was sleepy. He doesn't have to think of a way to make excuses, and he has a chance to go to Jingshi.

So, in order to buy time for the Jin merchants, he didn't say a word, and before leaving, he explained to his henchmen in various places, especially Zhangjiakou, so that they must cover for the Jin merchants. After that, he quickly whipped up and came to Beijing.

For this, Emperor Chongzhen was grateful in his heart. This trick startled the snakes, and it really scared these snakes out. If you turn around and arrest people according to Chen Xinjia's explanation, at least these people will not be wronged.

On the Jingshi side, several days have passed, and the emperor still hasn't seen the evidence, so someone wants to make trouble again. For example, Liu Meicai, the imperial historian, began to impeach the factory guard again, which led others to impeach him as well. Even Yang Sichang also put on a script, saying that the prolongation of the rebellion case is not conducive to the stability of the people, and he asked the factory guard to provide evidence as soon as possible to close the case.

In fact, after a large amount of grain was copied out and the Jingshi began to achieve a capitation limit supply, it has basically stabilized, and there is no instability among the people. The unstable morale of the people referred to by Yang Sichang can only be said to be the unstable morale of the officials.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen ignored it, he was waiting for Chen Xinjia to throw himself into the net, and he was waiting for the Jin merchants to concentrate the food and materials they had hoarded in various places to Zhangjiakou.

Two days later, Chen Xinjia finally rushed to Jingshi. He didn't enter the palace to pay the decree as soon as possible, but asked people to inquire about the current situation in Jingshi? As for himself, he changed his clothes again and quietly slipped away to Yang Sichang's mansion.

"Ah, it's Lord Chen!" When the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion saw the visitor, he couldn't help but be taken aback and said, "My lord is still in the cabinet, not in the house." ”

Chen Xinjia naturally knew this, Yang Sichang was not in the house, but he was anxious about the affairs of the Jingshi, and he had to sum up with Yang Sichang before facing the saint. Therefore, he immediately said categorically to the butler of the Yang Mansion: "This official has 100,000 urgent matters to discuss with the cabinet, no matter what, immediately ask the cabinet to come back!" ”

The housekeeper naturally knew that Chen Xinjia could become the governor of Xuanda, but he was recommended by his own master, and knew that his master had a very good relationship with this Chen Xinjia, so under Chen Xinjia's repeated urging, after hesitating for a moment, he personally ran to find Yang Sichang.

At this time, Chen Xinjia's subordinates also found the Yang Mansion and told him what they had heard. Hearing that the factory guards have not been sent abroad for the time being, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Not long after, Yang Sichang came back, his face was a little unsightly, and when he saw Chen Xinjia, he asked: "What's the matter, can't you wait for the official to disperse?" ”

During this time, he has always felt that he has lost his sacred heart, and he wants to impeach Lu Xiangsheng and others, but he has been unsuccessful, and his mood has not been very good.

Speaking of this, he took out a large handful of silver tickets from his arms, threw them in front of Chen Xinjia and said, "These are all waste papers, you can take them back!" ”

Obviously, he went to get these things before meeting Chen Xinjia.

Chen Xinjia just glanced at it, and knew that it was the silver tickets that he had given to Yang Sichang in the past. He didn't care about this, and immediately said: "These are all right, when it is convenient to turn back, in order to apologize, I will have someone send double the silver." ”

Hearing this, Yang Sichang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Chen Xinjia to be so rich. It seems that the official position of the governor of Xuanda is a fat difference!

The problem of the silver ticket is solved, and you can get double the silver, which is not a small amount. However, Yang Sichang believes that since Chen Xinjia said so, it is impossible not to give it. Therefore, his face immediately looked much better, and he asked the housekeeper to serve tea, and then asked with a kind face: "Brother Xian, why are you so urgent to call Brother Wei back?" ”

Seeing that the silver offensive was effective, Chen Xinjia was not surprised, after all, he was an official all these years, isn't it all for the silver!

When he heard Yang Sichang's question, he hurriedly replied: "I entered Beijing at the behest of the emperor, saying that I wanted to cooperate with the factory guard to investigate the hoarding of grain by the Jin merchants. ”

Seeing that Yang Sichang was a little puzzled, he contacted and explained in detail: "Those grain merchants who hoard grain and don't sell land are actually opened by Jin merchants. Therefore, the emperor suspected that the Jin merchants were plotting rebellion and wanted to send factory guards to Shanxi to make trouble. What are you talking about? ”

Of course, Yang Sichang knew that the famous businessmen in Shanxi had a good relationship with Chen Xinjia. It is estimated that Chen Xinjia is so rich, and it is likely that the silver came from those famous Jin merchants. So, he immediately understood what Chen Xinjia meant when he said that there was something very important.

In this regard, in fact, it is also consistent with his own demands. After all, a large part of his silver income also comes from Chen Xinjia's side, so he naturally doesn't want the source of those silvers, that is, Jin Shang and others, to be investigated. In addition, he didn't want it to be just a matter of grain merchants hoarding strange houses, and the emperor would be condemned as a case of rebellion, so he would continue to do it nonsense, but the appointment of Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others had been delayed.

So, he immediately coincided with Chen Xinjia, both wanting to divert the emperor's attention and prevent the emperor from continuing to engage in that ridiculous rebellion case. After the two discussed, there was a result soon, and Chen Xinjia also left the Yang Mansion with peace of mind.

Soon, in the afternoon of the same day, a demonic wind suddenly blew in the Jingshi, saying that Jianyu had been out of the customs for a long time, and millions of people had been victimized to varying degrees, and no one was responsible for these things, and strongly demanded that the emperor make decisions for the people and give the people justice.

Some people even bluntly said that Lu Xiangsheng, the former commander of the Qinwang Army, was to bear the main responsibility. Even if there was a war to win the war later. But there are still nearly 200,000 people, and countless materials have been plundered to Liaodong. Even the Dewang family is unknown in life and death, and Lu Xiangsheng must be responsible for this matter.

A local impeachment recital, and like snowflakes, flew to the front of the emperor. When it got dark, Emperor Chongzhen's side, Lan Tianbao and others divided it into categories, and conducted another count, and then, to Emperor Chongzhen, he told Emperor Chongzhen that the statistics were similar to before, and those imperial historians and some other officials, who were impeached last time, are still being impeached this time.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately smiled coldly. I have been staying in the middle and not sending it, so I think I can't help it? I'm just waiting for the opportunity, and now that the time is almost up, let's close the net.

Thinking so, when Chen Xinjia entered the palace with confidence, when he finished the ceremony, before he could speak, he heard Emperor Chongzhen shout angrily: "You traitor, for your own selfishness, ignore the laws of the country, ignore the grace of the monarch, help and abuse, and participate in the plot against my Daming Society." Come, put him in prison and serve him severely. ”
