Although this general of the Governor's Mansion was bought by his Lao Tzu with money, and he himself did not learn to have a straw bag, but he didn't dare to admit the hoarding of grain, because many of these grains were disaster relief grains and grass under the country, and now he took it for himself and sold it at a high price.

Chang'an thousands of miles of red land, Liang Ji took this opportunity to "blackmail" the princes of all parties, and Tianshui got tens of thousands of loads of grain, of course, these grains were snatched away by Fu Jian.

However, tens of thousands of quintals are really not much, Dawu has given more than 500,000 quintals, and Dashu is about the same number, Datang and Dawei are a little worse, but there are two or three hundred thousand in one family, and the Qing Dynasty and Daqin don't pay attention to Da Zhou at all, and Liang Ji didn't dare to send anyone.

In addition, the county guards such as Zu Ti and Huan Wen also gave a lot of grain, which was almost nearly two million quintals.

If the two million quintals of grain and grass are all used for disaster relief, although they cannot fundamentally solve the problem, if they set up porridge sheds, they can also allow millions of people to survive, but when these grains arrived in Chang'an, Liang Ji directly deducted one million quintals, and the remaining grains were exploited layer by layer, and there was basically little left after arriving in various places, and the Jingfu Governor's Mansion only got 30,000 quintals, and Zhu Chao deducted all these grains and turned them into his own private grains, and sold them directly for three taels of silver per load.

Although ordinary people can't afford to buy it, after all, there are still small rich households, in the year of the great famine, grain is much more expensive than silver and gold, no matter how much money you have, you don't have to starve to death like food, even if the price of grain soars, you have to buy, the price of grain here has risen, and the grain merchants in the south such as Dawu immediately transported grain after getting the news and also sold it at a high price.

So now in the land of Chang'an, the magnates take the grain for disaster relief to earn a crit, and the grain merchants come here from all over to earn the difference, and the rich families may not care about this little money, but those small rich families can only tighten their belts and eat as little as possible, the most miserable thing is the most ordinary people, the price of food is only the level of food and clothing when it is normal, and now the price has increased by two times, where can I afford it? Either flee to other places, or directly take risks and become homeless horse bandits to rob, otherwise you can only wait for death.

Zhu Chao knows these things clearly, but what does this have to do with him?

He Lao Tzu spent 100,000 taels of silver to get this general position, but he didn't let him come to disaster relief, the annual tax revenue of this governor's mansion is only 100,000 taels, except for the 20,000 or 30,000 that he handed over to the imperial court, it would be good, and he had to deal with various superiors, and in the end the rest was only 10,000 or 20,000.

Needless to say, Zhu Chao, who deducted military salaries, but now there are only a few thousand troops in the city, and even the military salaries of these thousands of people are not less than the amount, except for food and other things, there is not much left, and it is also 20,000 or 30,000 taels every year, so it will take two or three years to earn back your own 100,000 taels.

It's been too long, Zhu Chao doesn't want to wait for such a long time, just last year's drought, and tens of thousands of loads of grain were allocated from above, just taking this opportunity to make a lot of money.

Zhu Chao didn't have a little psychological burden in doing this, and he didn't do it alone, which layer from Liang Ji didn't do this?

The right auxiliary lieutenant, the left auxiliary lieutenant, and the lieutenant of the division, they have more fish than themselves, and if they don't fish, they will be fools.

But fishing and fishing, although these things are clearly open, but they can't admit it, now the county king in front of him is afraid that he has obtained benefits to ask for himself, where will he willingly hand over the money he has spent "a lot of hard work" to get to the other party?

This is Zhu Chao's idea, after all, he is a general, and the other party can't force it, right?

"No money? Line three, call me! ”

Liu Yuetian actually knew where the other party's money and food were for a long time, but this guy was extremely evil, as an official, he didn't care about the lives of the people for his own selfish interests, and it was not an exaggeration for this kind of person to cut a thousand knives.

"Damn, make your mouth hard!"

Zhang Xingsan and the other two people added up to a violent beating.

"Ahh Don't fight, it's all in my warehouse, don't fight! ”

Zhu Chao was beaten and his flesh was opened, and he howled loudly.

Zhang Xingsan led his subordinates to open a warehouse in the Governor's Mansion, where thousands of loads of grain were piled up.

"There's more!"

There were four warehouses in total, three of which were grain, one of which was tens of thousands of taels of silver, and some jade treasures.

"Did you earn it yourself?"

Liu Yuetian looked at Zhu Chao, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and asked.

"Lord Wang...... These things......... I'll give you half of ......! ”

"Half of me? It's too little, I want it all! ”

At this moment, a shout came from outside the Governor's Mansion: "Who dares to break into the Governor's Mansion?" Don't want to live anymore? ”

It turned out that the guards had received the news and rushed from the school yard, and they were each armed with weapons and ready to rush to the house.

"The king of Da Zhou is doing things here, which of you dares to make a mistake?"

Zhang Xingsan stepped forward and raised the Great Seal of the County King and shouted.

"The king of the county?"

The leader was stunned, how could there be a county king?

"I am the king of Tianshui County of the Great Zhou, passing by here and seeing that the people are not living, this Zhu Chao is the parent official of this place, but he takes the grain and grass for disaster relief as his own, hoards and sells it at a high price, this behavior has violated the law of the Great Zhou, I now issue an edict, Zhu Chao is no longer the general of the Duweifu, and you are not his army anymore."

"This .........!"

These soldiers were dumbfounded, one by one, you look at me, I see you are at a loss.

"What? Didn't you understand what the king Chitose said? Lay down your arms quickly, or you will be convicted of treason. ”

Sun Shangxiang on the side shouted loudly.

"He is the king of the county, he is a royal family, much more than the general, we must not disobey the order of the county king Chitose!"

A young man who appeared to be a small boss said suddenly, and then the first to throw his weapon on the ground.

As soon as he took the lead, others followed suit, and in an instant, this guard was disarmed by Liu Yuetian.

"Okay, you are doing a good job, there are nearly 10,000 loads of grain and grass in this dog official's house, tens of thousands of taels of silver, these are the people's money, you people immediately go and inform the people of the city, just say that I will open a warehouse outside the government to release grain, and everyone will come to receive the grain!"

"What? Open a warehouse to release grain? ”

These people couldn't believe their ears, they thought that this county king was going to take Zhu Chao's property for himself, anyway, they had seen a lot of such things, and they had long been used to it, so the result was really much beyond their expectations.

"You, you, and a few of you stay to move all the food outside the house, and the rest of you go and report it!"

Liu Yuetian asked more than 20 people to stay behind to carry grain and grass.

"That'...... So we really went to .........? ”

Those people still couldn't believe it.

"What nonsense? Hurry up! ”

Zhang Xingsan roared, and suddenly those soldiers ran away like a swarm, everyone's face was ecstatic, and they shouted as they ran: "The king of Tianshui County wants to open a warehouse outside the palace to release grain, hurry up and get the grain and money!" ”21010
