Originally, Zhang Zhen took out the treasure mirror and sold it last year, which was enviable, and he was already respected as a new upstart in Nanyang, and it was still the kind that no one could match.

With the sky-high price in front, the merchants unconsciously felt inferior in front of Zhang Zhen.

The status of the landlord in the world is much higher than that of the business traveler, but where there are 8,000 acres of fertile land, the title deed is in hand for the heirloom family business, and the two sides look at each other, even if the merchant has more money in his hand, he always has a little less confidence, and is regarded as rootless duckweed by the landlords, and is despised in every way.

When the wheat seedlings in the field sprouted, thrived, spit ears, and finally harvested, the yield was shocking, not to mention that a Shangshu Lord and a Du Yushi Lord ran back and forth for this.

This is the second grade of the dynasty, the figure of Tongtian, the two adults are respectful to Zhang Zhen, which also makes the merchants who have always regarded themselves as the four famous towns of the canal no longer have arrogance to talk about.

Compared with the growing closeness of the poor, the merchants feel more humble in their hearts.

And the seemingly absurd tenant contract set by Zhang Zhen was bizarrely completed, not to mention, it made the obedient and hard-working coolies in previous years feel ape and rush to it, if it weren't for Zhang Zhen's lack of land, God knows how many tenants he would have to accept.

Merchants are in troubled times, and they must be more cautious when hiring people.

Don't look at the homeless people who fled the famine, they are cheap, and their lack of strength is still second, stealing one or two bags of grain when carrying food, and even the people and goods are gone, which is dozens or hundreds of taels of silver.

Once or twice, the merchants were all in danger, and if they didn't want to use the hungry people, it was simply a rat droppings and a pot of soup.

The wharf coolies have a hard time making a living, and they know that it is not easy to go abroad, even if most of the merchants are profiteering in the famine year, and their wages are not rising, they can only endure it.

The coolies are safe, and the merchants in Nanyang are more willing to use these who know the roots, just like that, Xiang'an has been quiet for many years, with the Grand Canal as the backing, it seems that as long as it is not the Houjin to commit, it can always survive this successive famine.

If Zhang Zhen was born out of nowhere, I am afraid that this situation is difficult to change, and Zhang Zhen rebelled and did not forget to go to the grass market to promise, and recruited hundreds of coolies, which is tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle for Nanyang merchants.

The worst thing is that no one knows if this is the last solicitation?

If not, then there will be no coolies available at Nanyang Wharf in the future, so do you want to use displaced people?

O outcasts! It's worrying and hard to trust when you think about it, so how can you be reassuring?

Of course, this is just a worry, the land in front of me is an imminent matter, and the title deed in his hand seems to grow wings and fly away at any time.

Seeing that no one came, Zhang Zhen came out of the crowd, and when he stopped like this, the merchants and landlords were immediately silenced, and although many people wanted to hide far away in their hearts, they were afraid of the might, so they had to gather hard.

Zhang Zhen swept a glance, and everyone either bowed their heads, or their eyes dodged, how could anyone dare to look at each other.

The sun is slanting in the west, the sun is still scorching, the wild is more unobstructed, and there is no trace of wind, people's faces and bodies, hot sweat and cold sweat flow together, and the anxiety in their hearts is also to the extreme.

No one knows if the next moment will be a basin of cold water, and the cold sweat can't be stopped.

Zhang Zhen sighed for a moment and said: "Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, has played the banner of Juntian exemption, and the responders are endless day and night, and millions of followers have swept Henan Province, I believe the big guys have heard of it, right?" ”

As soon as these words were said, all the businessmen were like mourning and approval, and their faces were like ashes, is this to follow King Li Chuang's example and come to Juntian?

Some people nodded blankly, some people wept, although their hearts hurt, they didn't dare to complain.

This is the problem of sacrificing wealth and life, thinking that Li Chuangwang, even Kezhou County swept Henan Province, not to mention, even the ancient capital of Luoyang was conquered after this year.

It's just that Juntian is exempt from endowment, at most it is to abandon the family business.

However, this righteous army has passed everywhere, and few of the rich and noble have survived, especially the news of King Fu of Luoyang, which has raised the fear to the extreme.

Blessed soup! One is the blessing word of the blessed king, and the second is a few sika deer, take the homonym of Lulu, this boiled living person, try to ask who is not afraid in this world?

Even in this year of famine, cannibalism has occurred, after all, this is a prince, but also the emperor's uncle today, such a big man was cooked in a cauldron, it is definitely a strange news in the world, the speed of transmission is so fast, the spread is wide, even the dragon god appeared in the Yellow River close to the canal waterway can not be compared.

Of course, there are also different opinions about the death of this blessed king, and there are many versions, and there are four versions that have been transmitted to Nanyang alone.

First, it is the most appalling statement, saying that after the righteous army of King Chuang captured the blessed king Zhu Changxun, the righteous army was filled with righteous indignation, and simply washed the more than 300 catties of living people, shaved off their hair, plucked their nails, and a few sika deer, mixed with green onions and ginger seasoning, and boiled it in a pot of thousands of people brought from Ying'en Temple, and thousands of people shared it, which was for Fu Lu soup.

Second, it is for the city of Luoyang to break, King Fu fled in a hurry, hid in Ying'en Temple outside the city, was killed on the spot by the righteous army, more than 300 catties of weight, resting in the future generations is also a big fat man, after death also bleeding endlessly, was taken by the righteous soldiers, so that the venison dipped in wine, the beautiful name is Fulu wine.

Third, it is said that the king of Fu was captured, for the beggar life, kneeling and crying and begging for mercy, breaking the king's evil, someone cut off a large piece of meat from his body, took the sika deer in the back garden of the king of Fu's mansion and stewed it together, and gave it to his subordinates, so that the emperor uncle watched his flesh and blood being eaten, and then gave it to death.

The last statement, the image of King Fu is much higher, saying that King Fu was captured, and he still preferred to die in front of King Chuang, loudly scolded and scolded the thief, and finally begged for benevolence and was killed on the spot.

After Zhang Zhen heard about it, he scoffed at this fourth statement, if this blessed king Zhu Changxun really has such a hard spirit, that is, the city is in the people, the city is destroyed, and the people are dead, can there be two or three versions of that Ying'en Temple?

This is clearly an escape from the city, but not a escape.

As for whether it was boiled and eaten, since the king entered Henan Province, the situation in Henan Province has completely collapsed, and his livelihood is extremely difficult.

Five taels of silver can buy a pound of grass.

Polished rice is worth one hundred and fifty taels per catty.

This is still some savings, and only the rich and noble families who have the support of silver can afford it, and the poor people even follow the king's own.

Yi Zi cannibalism, cannibalism everywhere, coupled with the hatred of the righteous army for the imperial court, and the emperor's uncle of the emperor, it is not accidental that he really has that Fulu soup and Fulu wine.

Of course, the death of this blessed king, in Zhang Zhen's opinion, is nothing pitiful, that is, a damned person finally died.

There are still advantages, one is that the fact that he has deepened the fear of the rich.

Second, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the banner of Juntian exemption was pressed by the imperial court and the landlords everywhere, and the mouth of the people everywhere spread slowly.

Now that this blessing has been born, the banner of Juntian exemption can also spread more widely and have a more far-reaching impact.
