Chapter 92: Birds Die for Food
"The situation is becoming more and more like a war!"
On the high hill of the west peak of Lingzhi Mountain, Wang Xiu looked into the distance and said this.
This white-faced man who is nearly middle-aged is the largest cottage leader in Chizhou.
A man with a bear's waist and a tiger's back next to him hugged his fists and said: "Ask the big boss, the dog officials and soldiers are cowardly, Chizhou has no decent garrison force, and the rest of the cottages are not enough to cause trouble, they can't compete with us, and now they are gradually merged into our village, why is there a war?" ”
The wind on the mountain blew Wang Xiu's robe to the sound of hunting.
Wang Xiu turned around, looked at the direction of Chizhou Yongfeng Supervisor (Casting Money Division) and said: "The official army is indeed cowardly, and he never likes to act. But have you ever heard a saying that a man dies for money, and a bird dies for food? ”
After a pause, he pointed to the Yongfeng supervisor next to Guichi County, which was like a satellite town, and said, "Do you know what the Yongfeng supervisor does?" ”
"Coinage for the Dog Official's Court." The man wondered.
Wang Xiu's gaze became gloomy, "Do you know why the 'Ten Dollars' that endangered the south a few years ago came out? ”
"This ......"
The man with scars was in a hurry, and he wanted to ask him to kill people from that part of the fastest, and he was a little blind when he was tired, so he simply said blindly: "Didn't I hear that it was a means for the traitor Cai Jing to collect money?" ”
Wang Xiu shook his head slightly, "Wrong!" If the dog official Cai Jing wants to make money, why should he be the top ten money? The reason for this decision is that the dog court has no copper, the money leads to Jiaozi and the reputation is eroded, and the people's money is insufficient, there is no way to barter, which affects the taxes and fees of the imperial court. ”
The man sneered: "This is a fortunate thing, it is enough to prove that the dog court is exhausted!" As a result, more and more people are going up the hill and falling into the grass. If it weren't for that, my Lingzhi cottage wouldn't be able to grow so big. ”
"Is that really the case?"
Wang Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Let me ask you, when the top ten money endangered before there was our Lingzhi cottage, at that time there were three hundred of us, and there were less than ten cottages in Chizhou, what about now?" ”
The man with the waist and tiger back smiled proudly: "Now we have a thousand and five people, which is enough to compete with the cowardly officials and soldiers!" ”
Wang Xiu's eyes dimmed slightly, and he said coldly: "If you have this kind of low-level idea of increasing your account, you are no different from the foolish people in the city. Let me ask you, there were only eight villages in Chizhou back then, and the total number of people was less than 1,000. And my Lingzhi cottage has 300 people, accounting for the proportion of 'two percent' in Chizhou, what now? ”
The man with the waist and the tiger's back couldn't help but change color after calculating with his fingers, and then he figured out a truth, although his absolute strength has increased significantly, it is ...... The proportion of cottage grass has been reduced by half, and only one percent?
"Dog official Cai Jing is hateful and hateful, and he has invisibly weakened our strength! It's no wonder that the big boss has recently used force to annex the surrounding cottages. ”
The man exhaled.
Wang Xiu looked at the direction of Yongfeng Prison for a long time with an inexplicable expression, "It is said that the imperial court has run out of energy, but in fact, it is far from the time to start an incident." We are now annexing the surrounding cottages, and even slaughtering Liwei, which is also a helpless way. ”
After a pause, he said, "Back to 'Qian Zheng'." With the help of the influence of the ten coins, in the fifth year of Chongning last year, Zhao Tingzhi's dog official pushed the harm of the big ten coins to the limit in order to oppose Cai Jingzhi's policy, and even connived at his people, bringing almost monstrous public resentment. At the end of the year, Emperor Dujun, who did not know the situation in the world, issued an edict to abolish the big ten coins and recast the small flat coins! ”
The man said curiously: "May I ask the big boss, this is a fight within the court of dog officials, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Wang Xiu said coldly: "It has a lot to do with it, even the relationship between life and death." ”
After a pause, he continued, "Do you think, if Cai Jing returns the copper, he will come up with a big ten-dollar policy that harms the Ancestor's Yin Virtue?" In this case, Zhao Tingzhi denied Cai Jing's policy, and bewitched the emperor to issue an edict to recast Xiaoping money. In the case of no copper, he also recast Xiaoping money, and then Zhao Tingyi kicked his legs and left a mess and left, after the dog official Cai Jing paid this spring, the deployment must be to 'find copper', stabilize the situation of money and politics, and keep the phase to please the faint king. Then I ask you, where is the copper? ”
At this point, the man with the waist and tiger back finally changed color, "Copper is in the ...... In our hands, in the hands of many copycats......"
Wang Xiudao: "Now you know why I said that there is going to be a war, why do you say that birds die for food?" ”
The man was suddenly shocked, thinking that it was no wonder that he could sit firmly in the position of the big boss, he was really not comparable to ordinary fools, and people who had studied were different.
In the memory of the man, not many people can understand Wang Xiu's actions many years ago. At that time, there were not many cottages in Chizhou, although they were not directly subordinate to each other, but they basically listened to Wang Xiu's words, so during that period, basically only Lingzhi cottages were used to mint private money in copper mines.
This is a very adventurous and forward-looking undertaking.
But now that there are more monkeys, it seems that the tigers are gradually weakening, and many cottages are not very obedient, and they all begin to mess around, and they each occupy a large or small copper mine to mint money privately, which makes people look red.
After thinking about it, I saw Wang Xiu raise his hand and pointed in the direction of Yongfeng Prison and said: "Lao Tzu is not angry with the rest of the cottage mining copper coinage, but from this year, there is a lot less black smoke in the sky over Yongfeng Prison in Chizhou, do you know what this means?" ”
The man snorted and shook his head.
Wang Xiu said: "This means that the dog officials' own copper mines are basically depleted, and there is less and less copper that can be refined in Yongfeng Prison, so they fire less and less, and there will be less and less black smoke." ”
After a pause, he said, "That is to say, it is about to enter the mode of dying for money, in order to complete the task of coining money in the imperial court, Cai Jing put his son in this place to govern, and transferred Qin Ming, who is known as the courage of ten thousand people, to sit in Chizhou." What do the dog officials want to do? Do you think, if you don't uproot the cottage, who is willing to obediently give up the copper mine for the government to mine? ”
The man frowned and said, "However, the big boss is now annexing those cottages in advance, but this is like a move to move the mine for the dog officials and soldiers?" ”
Wang Xiu said coldly: "Do you really need to run faster than the wolf when the wolf comes?" The answer is not necessarily, stumbling to make others fall, and wolves may not chase us as long as they have something to eat, understand? ”
The man frowned again, realizing that something was wrong. It is almost equivalent to betraying allies and allies, and showing weakness to the dog officers and soldiers.
Wang Xiu didn't care what he thought, and when he turned around and left Gaogang, he said coldly: "Go back to the mountain pass, send another order, let the nearby cottages return to obedience as soon as possible, when winter is approaching, you always need to huddle together to keep warm, and those who continue to shirk should try to use some extraordinary means." ”
When the man followed, he said: "Originally, there were three houses around that agreed to surrender, but because of the tough attitude of Hongshanzhai, other people who agreed to surrender hesitated. ”
"How many people are there in Hongshan Cottage?" Wang Xiu asked with a cold face.
"About eighty or so." The man hugged his fists.
Wang Xiu said casually: "Kill them, leave no one alive." ”
