Chapter 227: Bad News

ο»Ώ

After calling the guards to look for Zhu Xuanshui, Sun Yuan's heart was still not solid, so he simply strode towards the Sizhou Mansion Treasury to see if he was still there.

Sizhou City is too big, several people split up to look for it, and the ghost knows when they will find someone.

No one knows when the thief army will attack the city, and this steel knife around Sizhou's neck may fall at any time.

The treasury is not a few steps away from the state yamen, and after walking two streets, you can see the high blue brick wall. In the early and middle Ming Dynasty, the tax system of natural color was implemented, that is, the tax of the state was collected in kind. If you are a fisherman, you need to pay a certain amount of salted fish every year; If you are a fruit farmer, give the fruit; The farmer handed in nano and wheat.

However, taxes in kind involve damage in transit, and some goods cannot be stored for long periods of time.

Therefore, after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng simply converted all the taxes in kind into silver taels, called folding colors, and implemented the silver standard system, which is also the famous "One Whip Law" in history.

After the people paid the tax and silver, the government had to first melt the broken silver into fifty taels and one ingots, stamp it with the official stamp, and then send it to the capital and enter the household warehouse.

Because this place concentrates the wealth of a state, the daily protection is also extremely strict

。

But as soon as Sun Yuan looked down, he saw that the door of the treasury was open, and there were guards inside who were in and out in a panic.

Sun Yuan hurriedly grabbed a Shouding and asked if Zhu Xuanshui was still inside, and the Shouding replied: "But is it a brocade guard in a flying fish suit?" ”

Sun Yuan nodded again and again: "Exactly." "Indeed, the yellow flying fish suit on Zhu Xuanshui's body is so bright that it is difficult not to attract attention.

Shouding: "I came to Yang Zhizhou before, and I picked up the treasury silver and left, saying that I wanted to go to the business to exchange it for broken silver and buy some things to reward the soldiers guarding the city." ”

Hearing him say that Zhu Xuanshui had already done this, Sun Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to leave. Suddenly, I saw several carriages coming and stopping at the door of the treasury, and then a group of officials carried large boxes one after another from the carriage and sent them inside.

Sun Yuan felt strange in his heart and asked, "What's in this box?" ”

Shouding: "It's Master Yang's collection of books, and you have to be careful if you put it in the palace to be accidentally damaged by the fire." ”

Sun Yuan felt strange and asked, "Yang Zhizhou is still inside?" ”

Shouding: "It's still inside." ”

Sun Yuan thought for a while: "Lead the way ahead, I will go to see Yang Zhizhou." ”

"Yes, General, please."

After entering the treasury, I entered a room after walking a few steps, but I saw Yang Wei, the governor of Sizhou, sitting leisurely inside, holding a bowl, and drinking tea calmly.

Seeing Sun Yuan come in, he put the teacup on the table and said with a smile: "It turned out to be General Sun, didn't you get the general order to organize defense on the city wall?" ”

"Lord Governor, there will be urgent military affairs to find Zhu Qianhu at the end, so you are here."

While talking, there were officials who kept sending books in, stacked on the edge of the wall, and in the blink of an eye, a wall was piled up, at least tens of thousands of volumes. Looking at the appearance of those books, it seems that they are all rare books of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

Sun Yuan was taken aback: "Zhou Mu has collected so many good books. ”

Hearing Sun Yuan's praise, a smile appeared on Yang Wei's calm face: "This official has been an official for more than 20 years, and almost all of the eunuchs have been spent on collecting ancient books

。 Yang has no children and no daughters, and he already treats these books as his own children in his heart. ”

As he spoke, he said again: "Just now Zhu Qianhu came over, and the official has already given him all the treasury silver to motivate the guards, but it's a pity that ......."

Sun Yuan: "What is a pity? ”

"It's a pity that I just finished the summer grain and autumn tax, but there is not much silver in the treasury, and it is only 20,000 taels, but what."

"Twenty thousand to two...... It's a lot...... "Sun Yuan took a breath of cold air, and rejoiced in his heart: It's okay, it's okay, I asked Zhu Xuanshui to go to the merchant to exchange it for fine and soft treasures. Otherwise, such a silver tael would not be able to be taken away at all. Don't say 20,000 taels, 2,000 taels can crush us to death, how can we escape?

"Since the general came over today, it also happens that let's write a receipt!" Yang Wei took out the account book, .cc [marshmallow]

Sun Yuan didn't think of anything else, so he signed and drew a pledge on it directly, and he didn't have any psychological burden on it. Anyway, Sizhou City will be broken tomorrow, and it is estimated that this account book will be destroyed by the fire, and it is worth signing a few words.

Taking the account book that Sun Yuan handed back, Yang Wei carefully put it away in the drawer, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

Sun Yuan: "Why is the state pastor sighing? ”

Yang Wei: "Dare to ask General Sun, how long can this Sizhou City be held?" ”

Sun Yuan almost patted his chest and promised, and said with a relaxed look: "Yangzhou Shepherd is honest and honest, and he opened the treasury to reward the soldiers who defend the city, and the army and the people are grateful for your kindness, and they are united in the upper and lower levels, and it is not a problem to keep it for three or five days." However, the state pastor can rest assured, at most three days, the army of Lu Inspector will arrive, and I should be worry-free in Sizhou! ”

"Haha!" Yang Wei laughed loudly, pointed at Sun Yuan, and called his cousin: "Taichu, Taichu, such words are the best to calm the hearts of the army and the people." But why should it be in front of me? Yang Wei also served as a magistrate in Liaodong before, and he knew a lot about military strategy. There were 50,000 thieves outside the city, but there were only 3,000 soldiers in the city. What is going on with my Ming Dynasty's Weisuo Army, no one knows better than me. If it weren't for you at the beginning of these days, Sizhou City would have fallen long ago. ”

"Now, the morale of my Sizhou City guards has been lost, and the thief army is still attacking with all their might. In my opinion, I am afraid that this city will be broken tomorrow. ”

Hearing Yang Zhizhou say this, Sun Yuan was a little embarrassed

。 Xindao, although this Yang Wei still has the habit of discriminating against military attachΓ©s in the Ming Dynasty, he is quite good to my Sun Yuan, and now he has even opened a treasury for me to use for my own use. If I run away like this, I will be a little sorry for this honest man.

He nodded, and said in a rare sincere tone: "Lord Zhou Mu is right, according to Sun Yuan, this Sizhou is only afraid that it will be attacked by thieves tomorrow morning, so you better prepare early!" ”

"Ready, how to prepare?"

Yang Wei asked rhetorically.

Sun Yuan pursed his lips: "Get out of this dangerous city!" Although the imperial court has a system, it is a capital crime for local officials to lose their cities and land. However, the ups and downs of the adult Huan Hai have been up and down all their lives, and there are naturally many teachers in the officialdom who are in the same door and in the same room. ”

"Move?" Yang Wei burst out laughing: "The hearts of the people can be bullied, but how can my heart pass this hurdle?" ”

As he spoke, he walked to the book and sat cross-legged on a futon, "The friendship of the beginning, Yang Wei understands it." I swear that I will not leave this city, and I am willing to live and die with Sizhou and the books I have treasured all my life. ”

When Sun Yuan heard this, he found that a lot of sulfur and fire were sprinkled in the books around the futon, and a few barrels of tung oil were placed in the corner. If you guess correctly, as long as Sizhou City is broken, this Yang Zhizhou will be ignited.

"State pastor, think twice, think twice!"

shouted for a long time, but there was no response, and Yang Wei even closed his eyes.

Sun Yuan stood in a daze for a long time, and then he sincerely waved at Governor Yang Zhi and turned to leave.

In any era, noble sacrifices are always honorable. You can make your own choices, and you may not even dare to disagree with the sacrifice of others, but you cannot help but be in awe of this nobility.

Out of the treasury, Sun Yuan's heart was sour, and in the midst of sadness, a figure staggered over: "General Sun, General Sun." ”

Sun Yuan looked at the past, the man was wrapped in gauze all over his body, but he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and it took a long time to remember that this person was Tang Wenxing who he had rescued from the city.

To tell the truth, Sun Yuan threw this man into a room and forgot about him, and he never thought of taking him out of the city at midnight. Whether these thirty or so people can get away is a matter of two words, how can they be willing to bring a bad injury number

。

"What's wrong?" Sun Yuan asked.

"General Sun, it seems that a messenger has come to your old battalion, and he has been arrested."

"What messenger, caught again?" Sun Yuan was a little baffled.

Tang Wenxing: "It's a woman, surnamed Zhu, just entered the courtyard where I was recuperating from my injuries, and a group of soldiers rushed in outside, saying that it was from Dahewei, and asked her to come over and talk." As a result, she said that she stiffened her hands in two sentences, and the woman's martial arts were so good, but unfortunately her two fists were defeated by four hands, and she was finally captured. ”

"What!" Sun Yuan shouted: "Ting'er! ”

"Giggle...... The general let go......" Tang Wenxing made a strange sound in his throat, and his face turned purple.

It turned out that under Sun Yuan's agitation, he unconsciously reached out and grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

"I'm sorry, Brother Tang." Only then did Sun Yuan let go of his hand.

Tang Wenxing was shocked in his heart, although he had more than ten injuries on his body, his body was extremely weak. But he is also a son of Xungui, and he has been working hard since he was a child, but his reaction is extremely fast. But Sun Yuan grabbed this claw, but he didn't react, just like a six-year-old child, he was powerless to fight back.

In the early and middle Ming Dynasty, all the nobles were in charge of the army and ruled the country by civil officials. In other words, officials of all sizes in the country have to rely on scholars to pass the imperial examination one by one. The generals in the army are mostly hereditary by the sons of nobles. In fact, this system was established by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, the sons and daughters of the nobles are reliable and trustworthy, and the army should naturally be in the hands of his own people.

However, after the Tumu Fort, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty were swept away by the Tatars. Up to now, there are few examples of the sons of the nobles entering the army, and many of them have degenerated into rice worms that eat and wait for death.

But the family martial arts and art of war are still handed down, Tang Wenxing's background is too poor, and he is regarded as a subordinate in the Xinguo Mansion, so he has an ambition in his heart to revive the scenery of Xinguo Gongtang and the past, and earn a life for his dead mother. Therefore, in the past ten years, Tang Wenxing's martial arts have never been lost. But I didn't want to, but today I was so easily restrained by Sun Yuan.

It turned out that Sun Yuan had practiced martial arts every day for the past two years, and had gone back and forth several times on the battlefield. Although martial arts are still the same, they have great strength, and their hands-on experience with others is also extremely rich.
