It was supported by the landlords and tyrants of Kaifeng. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info and then comes into action.
He first asked the account office to sort out the population and rations needed in Kaifeng City, and then wrote down an IOU with his own hand, stamped it with the official seal, and asked Baihu to take the IOU to the mansions of Liang Shouren and Chen Jiujin to borrow money. When the money is in hand, let Baihu take people to Zhou's granary to buy grain.
When they bought the grain from the shopkeeper Zhou at half price, they handed it over to Liangshan to distribute grain to the people of Kaifeng. Of course, this grain does not need to be moved. After Bai Hu took the silver two and estimated the price with the shopkeeper Zhou, the shopkeeper Zhou handed over the granary of the Zhou family to the white tiger, and the white tiger handed over the key to the granary to Liangshan according to Zhu Qing's explanation. First, Liangshan is a Kaifeng person, and he is here to do this, and the villagers trust and give face; Second, Liangshan is the son of Liang Shouren, and Liang Shouren is the richest man in Kaifeng City, and he is the leader of such old landlords, as long as Liang Shouren cooperates, he can strive for greater support from the local area in Kaifeng, so it is reasonable to sell some favors to the Liang family.
After these things were arranged, Zhu Qing asked Jinyiwei to walk the news out. From inside the city to outside the city, the news of Kaifeng Mansion opening a warehouse for loose grain was propagated.
When they heard that Kaifeng Mansion was opening warehouses and paying grain according to the heads, they all rushed to Kaifeng. After being searched by Jinyiwei, he entered the city to receive food.
Before opening the warehouse, Zhu Qing told Liangshan to maintain good order, not only not to let the people grab food, but also to let them stay in formation and have expectations. For this reason, Zhu Qing specially arranged for Jinyiwei to assist Liangshan in maintaining order on the spot.
"Folks, a few days ago, General Qinglong announced the Kaifeng reform, but he was plotted by Li Zicheng's spies, and everyone knows about it. But the general's heart to change the law did not change, and he still thought about everyone before he fell unconscious. But to this day, the general is still seriously wounded and bedridden. In order to express the general's determination to change the law, not only will we not pay grain this year, but also the government will distribute grain to households, so that everyone can spend this famine year, and when the government divides the land tomorrow and the next year, everyone will have a harvest, and then the basic tax will be levied according to the law. ”
Liangshan's opening speech immediately detonated the scene, and everyone responded to the government's new law and policy, not to pay grain, to divide the land and distribute the grain, in this famine year, they didn't even dare to think about it, but now this pie has fallen in front of their eyes, can they not be happy?
"It is said that the king did not pay for the grain when he entered the city, but he did not know where the grain in the city went. Instead of helping Li Zicheng fill his pockets, it is better to follow General Qinglong to implement the law change, so that everyone can live a peaceful life! Soon, someone in the crowd responded.
Then, there were shouts one after another, "Support the change, pray for the green dragon, support the change, pray for the green dragon......"
Seeing this scene, Baihu and the others were very excited, so they announced, "Later, General Liang will open the warehouse and scatter grain, and everyone will line up according to the list to come up and receive it." We must not disrupt the order, but people with ulterior motives can take advantage of it. I'm here, with sharp eyes and sharp swords, if anyone dares to make trouble sincerely, don't blame us for not reminding us! I also hope that everyone will supervise each other, but don't let a rat poop spoil a pot of porridge! Bai Hu was relieved in his heart, but his face was very serious, and he shouted sharply, "Such a big scene, such an important matter, it is bound to be a town." So the two of Liangshan and White Tiger sang red face and black face, and controlled the scene properly.
The people are worried that someone will make a ghost like last time, which will affect everyone, so they are also extra careful.
At this time, one of the people in the crowd nodded to the white tiger, and the white tiger nodded to Liangshan, and Liangshan gave an order, "Open a position!" "The granary of the Zhou family slowly opened, and the hope of Kaifeng City was all here!
And the person in the crowd was the masked Zhu Qing.
With such an important scene, it is impossible for him to stop being present.
After Liangshan opened a warehouse to bulk grain, the people lined up to each window to receive grain according to the number of households. Every household leader of the grain nods to the people of the government and thanks, they have never had such treatment, even their parents and grandparents, after all, the malaise of the Ming eunuch party has been around for a long time, and the name is not boring, what else to talk about opening a warehouse and releasing grain?
Seeing the scene of the people being grateful, Zhu Qing and the others were very pleased, and he walked through the crowd to the high platform.
On the high platform, Liang Shouren and other landlords and tyrants were quietly watching this scene. Everyone has their own feelings.
"Isn't it very uncomfortable to see your food and money being divided among so many poor people?" Zhu Qing came to the stage, took off his mask, and asked.
Liang Shouren shook his head, "The old man has lived for such a long time, especially in the past ten years, I haven't seen soup porridge a few times, let alone open a warehouse to release grain." When the people of Kaifeng meet the general, this is the meeting of a living Bodhisattva. ”
"In fact, you are the living bodhisattvas of the people of Kaifeng. Zhu Qing is just borrowing your hands to help them. Zhu Qing responded.
"Hey, it turns out that this is what the general had in mind this morning. Chen really admired the general's courage. Chen Jiujin said.
"Is Boss Chen blaming Qinglong for moving flowers and trees?" Zhu Qing smiled slightly.
"Where, where. I have been selling wine all my life, and I have made a little money, which can be described as a drunken dream, but I have never done anything satisfactory. You say that this money does not bring life and death, why bother? Unexpectedly, Chen Jiujin not only drank friends with Zhu Qing, but also drank a great understanding.
"Who's to say it isn't? Thinking about my Zhou family's granary, although the warehouse is full of grain every year, I also know that there are many people outside who can't eat, but I don't have the courage to open the warehouse and release grain. You say that in these years, who dares to open a warehouse and release grain? That is, the general, you can control the scene. Shopkeeper Zhou watched the grain in his granary distribute it to the people of Kaifeng, not only did he feel the slightest distress, but he felt a kind of relief.
Everyone has the heart of money, and the landlord has a lot of money, but it is Zhu Qing who makes them understand the truth that the world is good.
Just when the rich people saw that they had done a good job and gave Zhu Qing a thumbs up. Zhu Qing said lightly, "That's not necessarily." This meeting is not peaceful. As he spoke, Zhu Qing put on a mask and observed the crowd with clairvoyance. This time, he didn't go straight up. Instead, he asked a communications soldier next to him to contact the white tiger with a flag.
"Fourth in the first row, seventh in the second row, first in the third row...... Fast! Zhu Qing said as he watched, and the communication soldiers quickly conveyed Zhu Qing's message to the white tiger who was maintaining order at the scene in the flag language. As soon as the white tiger saw that Liangshan was already there, he waved his hand at the Jinyi guards around him, and the Jinyi guards quickly blended into the crowd and arrested those Zhu Qing had pointed.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The first person in the third row was just about to go forward to receive food, but he was controlled by the two people on the left and right of Jinyiwei.
Without saying a word, Jin Yiwei took out a bundle of gunpowder from his grain bag. The man was no longer silent.
Jinyiwei didn't have much movement to arrest people, even if someone saw it, they didn't dare to make a noise, and besides, how much can the activities of a few people affect the scene of tens of thousands of people? Everyone is staring at the food and going home to cook noodles, arresting people or something, just let Jinyiwei go busy.
"Next." The grain officer said calmly. These are all people under Liangshan's hands, and they have seen the scene, and they all know that Zhu Qing and Jinyiwei are controlling the whole scene, and nothing has happened to the bento.
The people on the high platform saw that the Jinyi guards had arrested a total of thirteen people, but the scene was still in order. couldn't help but give Zhu Qing a thumbs up:
"The general is really tall."
Zhu Qing smiled slightly, "Hmph, in fact, they are all Nadamon's people, and they have long been targeted by us." ”
Hearing Zhu Qing say this, the people present were even more admired, to be able to subdue Nadamon's killer so quietly, Zhu Qing and his brocade guards were not covered. I also feel that I am with the right person.
The first day's payouts lasted until dusk. According to the principle of poverty first, almost the entire Kaifeng can have a normal dinner today.
Therefore, after dusk, there were many more river lanterns on the Kaifeng City River, and the people who received the food went to the river to put river lanterns and pray for the early recovery of their great benefactor Zhu Qing.
"The general deceived the people of the city in order to open the seal, so he is not afraid of losing Yangshou?" At the time of parting, Liang Shouren joked to Zhu Qing.
"For the sake of Kaifeng and the people of Kaifeng, what does it matter if Qinglong lives a few years less?" Zhu Qing couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the river lantern.
When everyone heard this, they all nodded and were silent, and patted Zhu Qing's shoulder to say goodbye.
"Alright, it's cold, let's go home. Beware of being spotted. At this time, Ning Er put a cloak on Zhu Qing and said softly.
Zhu Qing nodded, took Ning'er's hand and walked towards Kaifeng Mansion.
"General! General Xuanwu is back! "As soon as I arrived at the house, someone came forward to report.
