Xiao Ruxun felt that he understood a lot of things in an instant.

"The first time this governor discovered these old grains was under the Bauhinia Pass, and these old grains appeared under the Bauhinia Pass, that is to say, the Beiyu was able to continue to go south because of the grain in your grain cave in Datong, it should not be in Shanxi, Datong, that is, Datong, they got these grains in Datong!"

"The villain doesn't dare to say that it's true, but if Beilu really gets these old grains, then, it is estimated that it is in Datong, Datong's grain caves are not as many as those in Shanxi, and the storage time of grain is also shorter, but the amount is also considerable, basically for doing business with Beiyu."

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"The officials and the people are hungry and have no food to eat, but you take a large amount of grain to do business with the Beiyu, and the Beiyu can go south to attack the Ming when they are full of food and drink, but the Ming officials and soldiers are powerless to fight against the Beiyu because they have no food to eat, good, good, very good!"

A chill passed through Liu Yong's heart.

"Admiral...... I'll wait...... We really didn't know that the northern captives used Datong's grain when they went south, and we sold grain to the northern captives to make money, so we never thought that such a situation would happen...... It must have been the news that the Beilu attacked our people in Datong and then tortured them, otherwise, they would never have ......."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ruxun stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Okay, this is the sin committed by the entire Jin Shang Gang, how can you afford it alone? Ben Du will not blame you alone, you and tell Ben Du that all you know is in the grain cave in Shanxi, you can not say Liu's, you can keep it, but your competitor's grain cave, Ben Du believes, you know a lot.

Tell the governor, the governor can be regarded as helping you, first, to help the people of Shanxi survive this winter, and secondly, to make those big families bleed by taking advantage of the wartime, do you think, in case it is another family in Datong who reveals the news of the grain cave, and finally leads to the destruction of your Liu family, you don't want to retaliate against them?

Tell the governor about these things, and the governor can come forward to help you avenge and take away all their grain, as for your Liu's own grain cave, you keep it, it belongs to you, and the governor doesn't want it. ”

Liu Yong couldn't believe his ears.

"What the Admiral said...... Seriously? ”

"Naturally, as long as you tell the governor where the other grain caves are, the governor doesn't want Liu's grain caves, you keep them yourself, these grain caves are still owned by the Liu family, how about it?"

Liu Yong was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Ruxun.

"Thank you, little man, Admiral! Thank you, little man! ”

"Hahaha, alright, get up, come, mark it here."

Xiao Ruxun handed Liu Yong a map of Shanxi, and asked Liu Yong to mark the grain storage areas of the rest of the families he knew.

Putting away this map of stored grain, Xiao Ruxun smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to his guard, who understood, and took out a cloth bag, Xiao Ruxun took the cloth bag and took out some silver ingots from it.

"Hold, this is a silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver, now that the chaos in Shanxi is about to break out, you take these silver taels to the south to take refuge, and then come back when the war is over, and do business again to live."

Liu Yong was overjoyed, took the silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver, kowtowed to Xiao Ruxun a few more times, and then turned to leave.

Xiao Ruxun handed the cloth bag to the guard, then took the flintlock from the guard, aimed at Liu Yong's back, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and Liu Yong fell to the ground.

Xiao Ruxun handed the gun back to the guard.

"Woe to the country and the people, and death is innocent, take back the silver, and burn the corpse."

"No!"

The guards around him immediately complied.

At this time, Li Rusong came back from his inspection outside, heard the gunshot, watched a corpse be carried out, and asked curiously: "Admiral, who is this?" ”

"The leader of the party, called Liu Yong, is a survivor of the Liu family, a big Jin merchant family, when the northern captives attacked the city, this guy went out to drink with friends, and luckily did not die, so the governor made up for him and sent him to reunite with his family."

Li Rusong looked behind him, snorted, and scolded angrily: "These big Jin merchants don't have any good things, and all they earn is some money from their children and grandchildren!" I hate to do it! ”

Looking back, Li Rusong spoke again: "Admiral, the situation in the city is not good, the houses are very damaged, the weather is cold, and the accommodation problem can barely be solved, but the food left by the Beiyu is only enough to eat two or three meals, and after three meals, there is nothing to eat, there is nothing to eat, how can the people of Taiyuan live?" ”

Xiao Ruxun took out the map of the stored grain and handed it to Li Rusong to see.

Li Rusong took it and didn't understand it.

"Admiral, this is ......"

"The grain cave of the Shanxi Jin merchants, the grain cave known to Liu Yong, the Shanxi big households hide the surplus grain every year in the cave, creating the illusion that the grain on the market is in short supply and the price is high, taking the opportunity to make money, and also selling the grain at a high price to the Beiyu tribe in need.

The grain in the Beiyu camp should be the grain hidden by the big Jin merchants in the Datong Grain Cave, and they got this grain so they had the confidence to go south. ”

Li Rusong was stunned.

"Is this true? When I first heard about these things, the last general thought it was a rumor, so I didn't believe it, but it turned out to be true? How much food is this......"

"Enough food for the refugees in Shanxi and Datong to survive the entire winter, General Li, without further ado, I want you to arrange it immediately, let the people of Taiyuan mobilize, let them carry these grains, we don't have many troops, we have to deal with the northern captives, there is no time, we can only let the people of Taiyuan get the grain themselves."

As for what the people of Taiyuan can't get, send people to guard it, and wait for us to pack up the northern captives, and then come to carry the grain, and then distribute it to the refugees in Shanxi and Datong, so that they can spend this winter, and leave some seeds and grain for them. ”

Li Rusong looked at the grain map with a heavy face, and then nodded.

After Li Rusong left, Xiao Ruxun continued to fiddle with the firewood pile, making the fire burn more vigorously, fiddling with it, and suddenly figured out something.

These northern captives went south, probably because some people wanted to take revenge on their competitors, so they did not hesitate to use such cruel means to introduce the northern captives into the Great Wall, and gave him so much food for nothing.

Then the mastermind should be one or several of the dozen or so Jin merchants left by Liu Yong.
