Chapter 358: Old Sun is a rich man

Before noon, the battle in Jingzhou City came to an end, a large number of Wei soldiers rushed into the city, groups of Western prisoners of war were released out of the city, and even the displaced people who rushed into the city to burn and loot were also driven out.

Groups of Wei soldiers in the city patrolled the streets, searching door to door, and purging the remnants of the enemy in the city.

Jingzhou will become an important stronghold of Wei Wujun in the future, Gao Yihuan hoped to accept a relatively intact Jingzhou City, so he issued a relatively strict military order, but all the defeated troops in the city who committed crimes such as robbery, arson, and rape were all killed on the spot, and the Wei army and the people of Yunyang committed the same crime, and they were ruthless.

Gao Yihuan, surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, entered Jingzhou City, and the soldiers were cleaning up the corpses in the city.

At this time, Zhao Zhuzi led a team of soldiers, escorted a few Daxi officials, and came over to salute Gao Yihuan and said: "Dashuai, let Ma Weixin run away, but the Jingzhou officials of the West Thieves were humbled." ”

Li Zicheng's Dashun, Gao Yihuan can still understand that the Eight Kingdoms are called "Daxi", and they are not at the level.

Gao Yihuan looked at a few Western Army officials, who were bound by the Wei army and were about to be escorted outside the city, and turned his face blank, "Be polite to a few gentlemen, don't be so rude, quickly loosen the tie and find a house to settle down." ”

"The lowly duty was negligent for a while!" Zhao Zhuzi hurriedly saluted, then turned his head and said fiercely: "Didn't you hear the commander's orders?" And don't let the gentlemen loosen it. ”

Gao Yihuan looked at a few officials of the Great Western Kingdom who were a little frightened, and showed a kind smile, "Mr. Jiwei, stay in peace first." Ben Shuai is very concerned about the situation in Jingzhou, and hopes that several gentlemen can write a detailed situation of Jingzhou to Ben Shuai, as well as the policies that Sun Kewang is expected to implement in Jingzhou. If whoever writes it first, Ben Shuai will be rewarded. ”

Before attempting to seize Jingzhou, Gao Yihuan had learned some about the situation in Jingzhou, and found that the policies implemented by Sun Kewang in Jingzhou were very similar to those he implemented in southern Henan, which were to increase the revenue of the government while reducing the rent collected by the gentry in order to reduce the pressure on the people.

Gao Yi Huan ran the manor and Tunpu, Sun Kewang made the camp, and the tax collected by Guisun was higher than him, but the people did not resist.

Therefore, Gao Yihuan is more interested in Sun Kewang's set and wants to know about it.

After Gao Yihuan finished speaking, he didn't wait for a few people to reply, so he hit his horse and continued to move forward, while Zhao Zhuzi ordered his subordinates to settle down, and he followed closely.

At this time, Gao Yihuan walked and said to Chen Mingxia on the side: "Sir, please also draft a notice to the people of Jingzhou, and inform the people of Jingzhou that after I, Wei Wujun, become the lord of Jingzhou, I will not plunder, second, not increase taxes, and third, not encroach on the people's land, and the policy of keeping Jingzhou in one place will not change within this year, so that the people can do their duty and pay grain as usual." ”

Chen Mingxia frowned slightly, and caught up with Gao Yihuan, "Dashuai, Jingzhou Tianfu official four, gentleman one, and people five, far higher than our official two, gentleman one, and people seven." Since Dashuai is the lord of Jingzhou, does he reduce some taxes to win the hearts of the people? ”

Gao Yihuan shook his head, "It's almost June now, and the summer grain is about to mature, so let Ben Shuai collect this season's grain first to solve the urgent need." As for the matter of reducing taxes, we can let the wind go, but there is no rush at the moment, and we will talk about it later. The land of Huguang is different from that of southern Henan, and the grain output here is much higher than that of the north for the same acre of land, and the tax can be relatively heavy. ”

Gao Yihuan has already promised the displaced people in Yunyang to resettle them, and they also need to train people, it is when they need money and food, if it weren't for Gao Yihuan's fear of losing his reputation, he would want to expropriate and collect "training salary" and "Liao salary".

This is also to blame himself, he didn't have much experience at the beginning, he bragged nonsense, said that he would abolish the three salaries, and never increase the tax, but he didn't expect that his own territory, this tax, could not support him to resist the Qing Dynasty at all, and made his life very poor now.

Chen Mingxia heard him say this, groaned slightly, and then nodded, "I'll go write a notice later." ”

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, and the group had already walked to the front of the Jingzhou Mansion, Gao Yihuan suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, turned his head and asked, "Pillar, where are the silver and grain depots in Jingzhou City?" ”

Jingzhou City is the most important stronghold of the Western Army in Huguang, and there must be a lot of money and grain.

"Dashuai, the grain depot is in the north of the city, and there is a lot of grain. Wang Guangtai had already been guarded and waiting to be counted, but the silver was not in the treasury, and there were only a few thousand copper coins in it. Zhao Zhuzi replied depressedly.

Gao Yihuan couldn't help frowning slightly, "It shouldn't be!" The Western Army robbed a lot of vassal kings in Huguang, like the Chu Domain of Wuchang, and the Jing Domain of Qizhou have been inherited for many years, so how can there be some left, plus the Western Army still has a strategy to help pay, how can there be no silver? ”

"Could it be that Zhang Xianzhong took it away when he entered Sichuan?" Zhao Zhuzi guessed.

Gao Yihuan felt that it was unlikely, Zhang Xianzhong went to Yiling into Sichuan, the road was rugged, and the Western Army did not pay salaries, Zhang Xianzhong didn't need to bring so much silver, he should bring more food.

Chen Mingxia on the side listened to it for a while, and couldn't help reminding: "Has Sun Kewang's mansion been checked?" ”

At this time, Li Hu happened to send someone to the yamen to report, and when the person saw Gao Yihuan stationed in front of the yamen, he hurriedly came over to report, "Qiqi Marshal, Li Duwei found a large amount of silver money in Sun Kewang's mansion, and ordered the humble post to come to report!" ”

Gao Yihuan's face was happy, and the yamen didn't enter, and as soon as he pulled out the reins of the horse, he shouted: "Go, take Ben Shuai to take a look." ”

Not long after, Gao Yihuan came to a large mansion covering an area of several hundred acres, but it was a royal mansion of the Liao Domain of the Ming Dynasty, which was taken by Sun Kewang as his own.

Gao Yihuan turned over and dismounted in front of the mansion, and saw a gold-plated plaque falling on the steps, with the four big characters "Pingdong Wangfu" written on it, he couldn't help but snort coldly, felt a little unhappy, and deliberately stepped on the plaque.

Entering Sun Kewang's mansion, Gao Yihuan and his entourage walked through the hall into the courtyard, and walked for half an hour before entering the backyard.

As soon as everyone entered the courtyard, they couldn't help but light up, the ground was scattered with silver, piles of jewelry and silk satin, Gao Yihuan and the others suddenly had their eyes lit up, and the corners of their mouths cracked to the back of their heads.

At this time, Li Hu led the soldiers and carried a few boxes of silver and piled them in the courtyard.

When he saw Gao Yihuan coming, he hurriedly greeted him, and clenched his fists excitedly, "Dashuai, this time we sent it, and there are silver in several cellars, I'm afraid there are at least nearly one million taels." ”

When Gao Yihuan heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, "Old Sun, rich man, great man!" ”

This can't help but remind Gao Yihuan of the treasure of Shenjiang when Zhang Xianzhong failed, and Li Zicheng, as the leader of the rogue who is more powerful than Zhang Xianzhong, must have a lot of silver, and he should be richer than the Western Army.

It is said that Li Zicheng got 70 million taels in Beijing, plus the income from copying the Jin merchants, it is estimated that it is more than Zhang Xianzhong's silver, but when he returned from Beijing, it is estimated that he lost more than half, but there should be some more, but these Gao Yihuan can't get it, so he can only think about it~
