Chapter 63: The Granary Fire

"Ten million taels."

"Bring it, give the money tonight, and get the food in three days."

The merchants asked worriedly: "How can you say that this is a million stone of grain, how can you say that you will get the grain in three days, you will not be a lie?" ”

Wang Zheng looked at the young man with an unkind face when he heard this: "How to get the grain, you don't have to worry, what you should think about is to put the grain there, Lao Tzu can clearly say, fifteen million, not a penny less." ”

Wang Zheng's tough words made the young man red and white for a while, but the dignified middle-aged man answered: "Such a big deal, can you give the money later." ”

"No, what kind of work are we doing, you don't know, don't talk nonsense, give money now, pay the grain in three days, and don't wait for it."

Everyone looked at Wang Zheng, who was angry, if it wasn't for the fact that there was a request for someone, they were not the representative of a party, and that could have killed Wang Zheng, but under the huge exchange of benefits, they chose to endure, and the dignified middle-aged man thought for a long time and said: "Money is okay, but you have to tell us why you are so anxious to ask for money." ”

At this time, Wang Zheng was convinced by Yang Xiuqing, and he was really said by Yang Xiuqing, thinking of this, Emperor Wang Zheng's acting skills were very different.

"Well, old man, old man, that, that, I heard that Jiang Xiangxiang, a famous prostitute in Jiangnan, this, this, the old man is six out of fifty, and now he is still single, this ......." Wang Zheng said in the end, they gave them a look that you understand.

Everyone, who is not a veteran, how could they not know what Wang Zheng meant, but a few people know Jiang Xiangxiang's background, although they know in their hearts that Wang Zheng will not be able to get it even if he gets more money, but for the sake of that huge benefit, he still has a face I understand.

"Well, that's the case, then let's say it, fifteen million is fifteen thousand, but the cash may not be that much." The middle-aged man changed his words.

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Zheng asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I mean, use other precious things as a recipe."

"Well, that's not bad." Wang Zheng touched his beard and said with satisfaction.

……..

For the long nights and dreams, those rich families who were ready to make a fortune moved things worth 15 million taels to the Yahoutang of Wangzheng County overnight, and they moved in in a dignified manner, Wang Zheng looked at a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and his eyes were about to fall, but when he thought that so much money did not belong to him, his heart was as painful as ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, and he had to send it to others, and his heart was dripping blood.

Three days later, outside Yicang in Taiping County, a thin grain official with a long round face looked at Wang Zheng with a pale face, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is this really the case?" ”

The grain official hoped that Wang Zheng would change his mind, but to his disappointment, Wang Zheng said with a smile: "Well, there is no way for this official, they are too powerful." ”

"My lord, give me a way to live, the old farmer's family has been a grain official for generations, if you really let go around the granary, then it will be from the Jiu clan." Although the grain officer has seen the old for the new, he has not yet seen the one who dares to take it all away, and he has to burn the entire granary, he doesn't have to think, if this thing really happens, then will his whole clan still have a way to live?

"Hmph, it's okay, don't worry, all of them have someone to help you, the one behind those people is powerful, it's not a matter at all, okay, use it and say a word, it's useless for you to say it, tell them to hurry up, it's almost dawn."

Listening to Wang Zheng's cold-blooded and ruthless words, the grain official sighed, and obeyed Wang Zheng's words speechlessly, he had to resign himself to fate, thinking that if there was something that would cause the whole family to be destroyed, he couldn't help but hate those damn greedy businessmen.

Hundreds of convoys went straight out of the city, and the whole night was far away, and those rice merchants stood beside Wang Zheng one by one, and the fat young man said with a smile: "Wang Da, high, really high." ”

Hearing the young man's praise for Yang so much, Wang Zheng's face turned red and said: "It's just for a better life, you can say it, after today, the old man doesn't know anything, and the back end depends on you." ”

"That's, that's." The middle-aged man with his hands behind his back replied with a smile on his face, he thought in his heart that there was so much food, and there were a large number of disaster victims to eat, were he afraid that he would not be able to recruit soldiers. Thinking of this, the middle-aged man laughed.

Wang Zheng looked at the people with different faces, and said secretly, you provoked that yin person, you don't even know if you are in the plan, and you don't know how to die. But when he thought of the money that he had so hard to get greedily, he felt a lot of pain.

When the day was about to dawn, the grain officer walked to the granary with a torch, looking at the granary that had grown up with him since he was a child, he cried bitterly, Wang Zheng saw that the grain officer had not set fire for so long, he was a little anxious, just because it was almost dawn, the city gate was about to open, and when the city was full of people, the granary thing was difficult to do.

Wang Zheng hurriedly walked in, he angrily threw the torch he had snatched into it, after he walked a few steps in a hurry, he found that the grain officer was still left behind crying, he ran back in his heart and pulled the grain officer and said: "Go, what are you afraid of, this official is not afraid, you are a small official, what are you afraid of, there are people holding on to everything, go." ”

When Wang Zheng pulled the grain official and just walked out, the fire behind him was raging, Wang Zheng had seen such a big fire for the first time, and it was the first time he saw that the fire would burn bigger and bigger, if he didn't go faster, then he would have become a roast pig.

In one night, thousands of people carried three or four granaries, and the entire granaries were emptied, and Wang Zheng didn't know how those profiteers had brought in so many people to get it done so quickly.

When the profiteers are happy, the locusts have been dispersed to Longnan Province, although the locusts are edible and resistant, but still did not solve the insect plague, although the locust gold products of the Taiping Group are exported to several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, but the locust reproductive ability is too strong, and the poison that can effectively poison the locusts without harming crops has not yet been made.

The fire in the official warehouse of Yicang burned the price of rice in Erfu as fast as it soared, and there were already victims in the city, but the government did not have much surplus food. The day after the granary fire, Jingzhong received an eight-hundred-mile urgency, and the princes of the court were upset, but Huang Daxiong, who was thinking about making trouble, had to stop, and at noon that day, Huang Daxiong was thinking about facing the saint, and a small eunuch came to him in a hurry: "Ancestor, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good." ”

"Well, what's so desolate, didn't our family teach you, this is the deep palace compound, be careful in everything, be calm, you are like this, how can our family rest assured that you are serving the emperor." Huang Daxiong educated the little eunuch with a displeased face, and then took the letter and read it carefully.

As soon as Huang Daxiong saw the content, his face was extremely ugly, and he looked at the letter like a dead parent, and after reading the content, Huang Daxiong looked up and stared at the little eunuch with a violent look and slapped it.

"Phew, cooperate, if it's over, our family wants our family to wipe your ass." Huang Daxiong stared at the little eunuch with a heartache as if he had dropped ten thousand taels of gold.

The little eunuch was suddenly shocked by the unwarranted disaster, and begged to detour: "Ancestor, the little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare." ”

After a long time, after Huang Daxiong was dissatisfied in his heart, he said softly: "Get up." When the little eunuch saw that Huang Daxiong was back to normal, he stood up in fright.

"Today, our family hasn't seen you, and you haven't seen our family, understand?" Huang Daxiong stared at the little eunuch in fascination.

The little eunuch dared to talk more, and hurriedly said: "Little one, I have been on duty in Jingfuguan today, and I haven't been there, and I haven't seen anyone." ”

"Hmm." Huang Daxiong nodded and waved his hand when he heard this, signaling the little eunuch to go away, and the little eunuch hurriedly retreated.

When the little eunuch left, Huang Daxiong finally couldn't help but spit a few mouthfuls of water: "Phew, little beast, it's really ruthless, there are so many people in our family, and we are yin by you today, and I have to say thank you with a smile, you wait for me, boy, this account will be settled with you one day." ”

Huang Daxiong scolded aggressively, and when he finally saw someone coming, he went to Taiji Palace, thinking in his heart that the emperor should deal with the far fold at this time.
