At noon on the second day of the notification of the delivery of grain, that is, the deadline stipulated by Ye Xun, none of the rich gentry in the city came to deliver the grain.

For this situation, Ye Xun was already prepared in his heart, knowing that these people were all waiting and seeing, since they all chose to toast and not eat and drink, they could only move seriously.

As soon as three o'clock in the afternoon, with Ye Xun's order, the four gates of Chongqing were suddenly closed, and then countless officers and soldiers went to the homes of rich gentry and businessmen according to the list.

Ye Xun didn't want to do things too desperately, so he didn't raid the house directly, just arrested everyone, and then let their families prepare to ransom people, but the amount of grain and grass was twice as much as before.

For a while, the rich gentry and businessmen in the city were wailing in their homes, no one expected Ye Xun to be so resolute, and he really dared to arrest them, you must know that in Shu, even if the king of Shu has something to ask them for help, he has to discuss it in a gentle voice, how can there be a direct action like Ye Xun?

The rich people quit, but the ordinary people praised it, because there were rumors that Ye Gonggong asked those rich people to donate food in order to prevent the disaster victims from outside the city from entering the city to make trouble.

Not allowing the victims to enter the city to make trouble is equivalent to protecting the ordinary people in the city, after all, those old men in the Gaomen compound have families and courtyards, and if there is really an incident, the first to be unlucky are the common people.

Therefore, ordinary people can be said to absolutely agree with Ye Xun's move, and in a short period of time, Ye Gonggong's prestige has once again reached a new height.

This time, Ye Xun also gave these rich gentry and businessmen a day, if there is still no food delivered at noon tomorrow, then I'm sorry, Ye Gonggong is really going to kill someone.

At the same time as the grain and grass were collected, Ye Xun ordered the conscription among the victims.

In addition to the Qin family's army, the other armies in Shuzhong seem to be unable to point out now, since this is the case, then train an army that is only loyal to itself.

Two hundred guards, and another hundred were transferred as grassroots officers of the new army, and the commander was Qin Liangyu.

This is what Ye Xun promised Qin Liangyu before, although Qin Liangyu is loyal to the imperial court, but he is not loyal to Ye Xun, so the grassroots officers of the army still have to be served by Ye Xun's descendants.

Qin Liangyu didn't have any opinion on this, because Ye Xun was a eunuch, and she couldn't think of the difference between the army's loyalty to Ye Xun and loyalty to the imperial court, not to mention that Ye Xun also gave her such a big gift, so not only did she have no opinion, but also asked her brothers to fully cooperate with Ye Xun.

These guards around Ye Xun are all experienced veterans, and under their training, the army can quickly improve its combat effectiveness, and they are only loyal to Ye Xun.

The soldiers were initially set at 30,000, divided into ten large battalions, not that Ye Xun didn't want to recruit more, but that Chongqing Mansion did not have so many armaments and ordnance, and the number of 30,000 had already emptied the Chongqing Armory.

At this time, outside the city of Chongqing, on one side is the new army conscription site, and on the other side is the endless disaster settlement area, which can be said to be very lively.

Don't look at the shouting behind the rich gentry and businessmen in Chongqing, what resolutely resist Ye Xun, never give Ye Xun a grain and so on, and when the steel knife is on the neck, no one dares to shout like this, after all, they are not really short of food.

Not only that, after handing over the grain, some rich gentry simply took refuge in the end, not only explaining the fact that someone in Chengdu coerced them not to cooperate with Ye Xun, but also set up a temporary porridge field outside the refugee camp to cooperate with the government to help the victims.

Not to mention, this move by the rich gentry has undoubtedly greatly eased the pressure on the government's side.

Ye Xun could not let the victims wander around Chongqing, after the food was in place, he began to order the government to dismiss the victims, each family gave some money to settle down, and at the same time brought some food, of course, this is only the first step, Ye Xun also in the name of the imperial court, exempted these victims from taxes for three years.

This series of measures stabilized the hearts of the victims in a very short period of time, and also won Ye Xun the reputation of a Buddha of ten thousand families, which can be described as a great joy.

Many of the victims joined the New Army directly, and as a result, both the soldiers of the New Army and their families were better accommodated, and the New Army recruitment site was soon overcrowded.

The official silver in the treasury of Chongqing Mansion is limited, if he hadn't copied the old nest of Yu Chongming, if he wanted to deal with such a large amount of expenses, it would really be enough for Ye Xun to drink a pot, and he could only find a way from the rich gentry and businessmen.

Chongqing is located downstream of Chengdu, whether by land or water, if you want to go to Chengdu, you have to pass through Chongqing.

After the surrounding area of Chongqing Mansion gradually stabilized, Ye Xun ordered again to block the main water and land transportation routes, and all materials leading to Chengdu must be unpacked and inspected, which is called contraband.

What is Contraband? I'm sorry, the official has the final say, in short, the materials must be detained first, and then say, when to release, of course, it also depends on the mood of the official.

This is in ancient times, there are only a few roads leading to the direction of Chengdu, if you don't take Chongqing, you have to go far to Hanzhong, who can withstand such a toss!

Soon, the officials and businessmen in Chengdu couldn't sit still, and they organized groups to visit Ye Dagong in Chongqing.

Ye Dagong has been very busy these days, and after getting some local products from Shu and sending them back to the capital, he went into the mountains to hunt for treasures under the leadership of Luxury Chongming.

In fact, when it comes to treasures, Ye Xun doesn't believe in them very much, there are so many so-called treasures in the world? He just needed a reason not to kill Yu Chongming for the time being.

However, with the further understanding of Luxury Chongming, Ye Xun believed that there was really a treasure in the mountains near Chongqing, and the owner of this treasure was the lord of Daxia, Ming Yuzhen, who had been the emperor in Chongqing.

Ming Yuzhen died in 1366, and the Great Xia Kingdom was destroyed by Zhu Yuanzhang in 1369.

Ming Yuzhen was thirty-eight years old when he died, and his son was only ten years old when he succeeded to the throne.

You must know that Ming Yuzhen was a so-called righteous army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and wherever he passed, gold and silver treasures must have been drawn.

Instead of letting these treasures see the light of day, it is better to let Ye Xun do something meaningful.

According to the sketch drawn by Yu Chongming, the treasure was buried more than 100 miles west of Chongqing.

After a busy day, Ye Xun was also a little tired, so he took this treasure hunt as a vacation, in addition to Xiao Luo, Yun Niang and Xiao Ru also brought it together.

Fifty guards, more than 300 men and hundreds of mules and horses, and a few local people were hired as guides.

Although Yu Chongming has repeatedly said that he will not find the wrong place, Ye Xun always has a defensive mind about this guy.

In the depths of the dense forest in Shu, there is a miasma of smoke rampant, in case it is put on a table by Extravagant Chongming in the dense forest, I am afraid that there will be no place to cry at that time, so it is better to take precautions, this is called being prepared.

In this way, this part-time treasure hunting group is freshly baked...
