This man's face was very ugly, a burst of red, a burst of blue, a burst of white, he looked at Lian Zining directly, his lips trembled, and he suddenly pounced forward, and the whole person knelt on the ground, crying loudly: "Uncle spare your life, uncle, Xia Guan and that Liu Fengli are not together!" Spare your life, uncle! ”

"Which one wants to take your life?" Lian Zining frowned and said lightly.

"Huh?" The Qianhu suddenly stopped crying and looked at Lian Zining stupidly.

Lian Zining shook his whip, rolled up Liu Fengli's head and threw it in front of this pair of thousand households, this pair of thousands of households, only to see a bloody mouth poked in front of him, the hideous face seemed to look at him, and he was suddenly frightened, screamed, and shrank back.

"Liu Fengli, a thousand households guarding Luoshan County, colluded with the Jurchens and plotted against him, and he has been beheaded by this official to show the public, and his family, both men and women, are slaves, and they are temporarily handed over to Luoshan County for safekeeping." Lian Zining looked at the Qianhu and said in a manly voice: "You take this head, go to Yang Xuezhong, and tell him, why did he never know why his subordinates colluded with the Jurchen?" The magistrate will punish him for negligence! Got it? ”

"Huh?" The Qianhu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the lower official understands!" ”

"Get out!" Lian Zining waved his hand.

The thousand households were pardoned, and they ran away with their heads in a puff of smoke.

Lian Zining instructed again: "Dazhu, you take a thousand soldiers and give orders to those soldiers of the Thousand Households, and let them go to Partridge Town to report and listen to the orders." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Shi Dazhu took the order and left.

Lian Zining looked at everyone and smiled slightly: "Everyone, what the official said." Right? ”

"That's right, that's right!" Everyone was stunned. Hurry up and chim.

said in his heart, this Wu Yibo is too ruthless. It's just a verbal offense, but he said that he would kill him, not only that, but he also accused An of such a stinky ancestor, and even his family was implicated! Such a ruthless old man, but don't disobey him! lest you get into trouble.

Everyone's thoughts are actually Lian Zining's purpose.

The Songjiang territory where his authority is located is naturally above everything else, and no one dares to offend, but this is not the territory of the Songhuajiang general. In this land, the officials and gentry did not know his power after all, so they were naturally not so obedient. If they are not satisfied, Lian Zining will have a lot of inconvenience.

The first thing Lian Zining did after coming here was Liwei! Since you can't all be convinced, let you all be afraid! In this case, who would dare to disobey the order? Who would dare to fight against Wu Yijun?

Su Jisheng took a deep breath, and his complexion had returned to normal. He said cautiously: "The army is coming, the boat and car are tired, and the lower officials have already set up a banquet in Linchuan Tower, and they also invite the adults to enjoy it." The soldiers' food lodgings. It has also been prepared, and the horse material for the war horse is also complete. ”

"You're thoughtful." Lian Zining praised him. "The army doesn't have to enter the city, and it will inevitably disturb the people." You can send all the food, horses, and other food to the barracks outside the city. ”

He instructed the guards, "Give the order to go down and camp where you are." ”

"Yes. My lord! ”

The small commotion that occurred here was not seen by the people outside, and the army of Wu Yi was camped outside the city, and a thousand dragoons escorted Lian Zining and others into the city.

Entering the city, it was also a sea of people, and seeing the majesty of Wu Yi's army, the people raised their arms and shouted, and the crowd was excited.

Even many people who were already frightened by the Jurchens and the White Lotus Sect knelt down on the side of the street and kowtowed to the team.

When they arrived at Linchuan Tower, everyone climbed the building one after another, Shi Dazhu gave an order, and a thousand dragon lancers surrounded this place full of Dengden, the water was impassable, and a mosquito wanted to fly out.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked again, and said in their hearts, this Wu Yibo won't wipe us out here, right?

Upstairs in Linchuan, staggered.

Linchuan Tower is located in the north of the city, the geographical location is excellent, it is built on a hill, this hill is many times higher than the city wall, Linchuan Tower is five stories high, look at it by the railing on the highest floor, and even can see the Heilongjiang River in the distance.

The waves are rough and the noise is shaking.

On the fifth floor of Linchuan Tower, a banquet has already been set up.

The windows on the fifth floor of Linchuan Building are huge, almost accounting for more than two-thirds of the walls, and countless pillars stand around, and when all the windows are opened, it is as if the entire wall has been hollowed out. Open on all sides, the mountain wind is coming, sweeping the entire floor, there is really a feeling of being as vast as the wind.

On Lian Zining's side, he also had Azig, Helian Leopard, Shi Dazhu, and a total of twenty or thirty people from the Luoshan County side, all of whom had five tables.

The meal was beyond Lian Zining's imagination. Fat and tender yellow mutton, delicious sand half chicken, fragrant black bear paws, crispy and fragrant rhino nose, flying dragon hanging soup, scallion oil deer tendon, iron sparrow cooked in Hash leech oil, and fresh vetch, all of which are naturally grown game.

One dish after another was served like a stream, Lian Zining calculated, from the beginning to now, there have been more than 30 dishes, and almost every dish is withdrawn after a little bite.

This kind of covering up luxury did not make Lian Zining have any disgust and dissatisfaction - people are like this, which shows that they attach importance to welcoming him. If he came and served pickles and steamed buns directly, then Lian Zining would really be furious.

Lian Zining stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite of candied bear paws, put them in his mouth and chewed them gently.

His gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the room.

Although everyone was eating and drinking separately, looking quite leisurely, in fact, their minds were all on his table, and at this time, Lian Zining's eyes swept away, and everyone couldn't help but feel nervous. Some are afraid that the sitting posture is wrong, some are afraid that the appearance is unbearable, and some are afraid that the food is too bad.

Feeling this kind of monstrous power that one look is enough to shock everyone, Lian Zining smiled slightly, and suddenly turned his head to the person on his seat: "Money is right? ”

The money bureau was about fifty years old, shriveled and thin, an old man, who didn't even seem to be able to hold up the official clothes on his body. His name is Qian Xuan. It is a Yuhang clan, and it is also a very early jinshi in Zhengde. When Zhengde was forty-five years old, he was transferred from a certain division of the household department to the director of the Luoshan Gold Mining Supervision Bureau.

In all parts of the Ming Dynasty. There are many well-known mineral areas, mainly gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead and other metal ores, these places, basically set up a mining supervision bureau for management, such as the mining supervision bureau in Zhenyuan Prefecture, which mainly produces coal, copper and iron ore. Originally, according to the rules, most of the mineral deposits mined by the Mining Supervision Bureau in these places had to be handed over to the imperial court after being smelted into ingots. But the one in Zhenyuan Mansion is not necessary, as soon as Fang established the court and the emperor, it was Yan Ming. Zhenyuan Mansion has been a sword soldier for a long time, and there is a lot of demand for copper and iron, so it is directly used on the spot.

These bureaus are basically transferred from the Ministry of Household and the Second Department of the Ministry of Industry, and the Bureau is a five-grade official, and the level of each Lang Zhong and Wai Lang of the six departments in Beijing is basically the same, but the power is much worse than being in the center, but the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, those Lang Zhong Wai Lang or something, but they sharpen their heads and desperately want to be released, and the limited number of places every year are snatched up - the mystery lies in the oil and water. Some of the most productive bonanzas are oily and watery. Especially for those who directly produce gold and silver like the Luoshan Gold Mining Supervision Bureau, they don't know how much they can pull into their palms every year.

This is real money, thousands of miles to be an official just for money, and to pursue that Xuanhe's power. After all, isn't it also for a wealth word?

Qian Wei was also able to get through the joints and be released here as an official, I am afraid that it is also very related in Beijing. This old man relies on his own backstage and has deep qualifications. Originally, it was a bit of a shelf. But seeing the scene outside the city, a dignified thousand households asked Lian Zining to kill him. Suddenly, there was a great fear in my heart, and my thoughts about taking a shelf and pinching my eyelids were thrown out of the clouds.

At this time, when he heard Lian Zining calling his name, he quickly straightened up and said with a smile: "Xia Guan is here." ”

Lian Zining seemed to ask casually: "How much gold can this Luoshan Gold Mining Supervision Bureau produce in a year?" ”

Qian Wei also smiled and said: "If you go back to your uncle, the Gold Mining Bureau produced 26,759 taels and five cents of gold last year. ”

This old man deserves to do this, I remember it very clearly.

Lian Zining looked at him and said lightly: "What the official asked was, how much is the real estate?" ”

As he asked these words, everyone's eyes shifted to here, and there was silence on the fifth floor.

Qian Wei was already sweating on his forehead, and said with a forced smile: "Uncle, what do you mean by this?" Xiaguan, Xiaguan is a little confused? ”

Lian Zining didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile on his wine glass.

What kind of mine output in the Ming Dynasty, the data reported to the imperial court can never be trusted, if the output reported to the imperial court is the gold and silver handed over to the imperial court, then what do these officials eat? What to drink? It is not just him who is eating at this point, a bureau, the general of Liaobei at the top, the former slave governor at the top, and even the yamen and offices in Beijing, the Ministry of Industry in charge of minerals, and the household department in charge of taxes, all have to have a share of the benefits to be paid, otherwise, you will have to be unlucky if you don't know who makes a stumbling block for you!

On the surface, the imperial court stipulated that it was thirty taxes and one tax, but in fact, it fell on the heads of the people about ten taxes and five taxes, an increase of fifteen times, which can be said to be appalling, but it is also natural to think about it - if there is no such money, from top to bottom, from Beijing to the localities, what are the tens of thousands of officials pointing to make a fortune?

Therefore, Lian Zining's question can be said to be very particular.

Qian Wei also had large beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, and his hands trembled slightly, obviously nervous to the extreme.

Lian Zining's gaze was neither fierce nor fierce, and he even had a smile on his face, but it was this expression that made Qian Wei more and more frightened. This adult, so murderous without blinking, so unscrupulous, if he annoyed him, wouldn't it be unjust to slaughter him with a knife?

But what the real output is is also a great secret, even related to his net worth. After all, there is really more production than reported, this is known to everyone, and everyone knows it, but once he announces it to the public, he will immediately become the target of public criticism, and I don't know how many people will be offended. It will even cause death because of this! Not to mention anything else, if the imperial history of the imperial court comes to hear the wind, can you let yourself go?

But Lian Zining's words completely collapsed his psychological defense: "Qian Juzheng, if you are afraid of offending people because of this, you are afraid of killing yourself." That will be for later, if you offend and disobey the ruler now. This official can kill you in no time! You get the idea? ”

Qian Wei also shook violently and sighed deeply. Leaned next to Lian Zining, lowered his voice and said, "Last year, the real estate here was 116,844 taels. ”

"What? So much? Lian Zining couldn't help but be shocked.

You know, this is the early and middle Ming Dynasty, not long after the opening of the sea, hundreds of millions of silver have not yet flowed into China from the pockets of European nobles and Japanese daimyos, and the ratio of gold and silver exchange is not so low - in the year of Chongzhen, the ratio of gold and silver exchange was one to eight, and in the year of Zhengde. This number remains at around 1 to 15.

In other words, the Luoshan gold mine can produce more than 1.6 million taels of silver a year!

That's a staggering number.

In fact, it is understandable that China's gold production has always been quite high, otherwise it will not be able to sustain that large consumption of luxury goods - you know, you don't know how much gold and silver are consumed each year just for jewelry and treasures.

Qian Wei also smiled bitterly in a low voice: "These silver coins, the villain can only get so much every year, and the rest is sent to the officials." ”

As he spoke, Qian Wei also stretched out his thumb and index finger and rubbed it. to show how little money you have made.

"Qian Juzheng, you don't have to worry about this matter in the future." Lian Zining smiled slightly.

Qian Wei couldn't help but be stunned.

"Money Bureau Zheng, this official will give you a deputy, what will happen in the future. Just listen to him, and don't worry about it yourself. ”

Lian Zining raised his voice and said, "Da Zhu, you take this Qian Bureau down." Transfer the management of the gold mine to Lu Zhen. Let Lu Zhen choose a sincere and reliable person to keep an eye on here. By the way, I will allocate him another hundred households. ”

"Uncle. What do you mean by that? Qian Wei's face changed drastically, and he asked in a trembling voice.

"It's not interesting, the official thinks it's just that the money bureau is worrying." Lian Zining waved his hand, Shi Dazhu had already walked to Qian Xun's side, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Master Qian." ”

After all, he dragged Qian Wei, who was already weak in his legs, down.

Everyone's hearts are tight, this Uncle Wu Yi is not only ruthless and resolute, unscrupulous, but also really does not let go of any benefits, he will catch whatever he wants, and he looks extremely ugly.

I hope we haven't been looked at by Wu Yibo.

But the heavens didn't seem to hear their prayers, and suddenly there was a commotion in the distance downstairs.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, and wanted to leave the table to take a look, but they didn't dare to make a move because Lian Zining was here.

Lian Zining seemed to see everyone's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Let's go, everyone go down and have a look." ”

After that, he got up and left the table first, and walked down, and everyone didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so they all hurriedly followed down.

When I got to the first floor, I looked out, and I let out a burst of exclamations.

"Lao Wang, why are you here?"

"Chen Yuanwai, what have you done?"

……

It turned out that there were sixty or seventy people outside the door, all of whom were the leading figures in Luoshan County, and everyone in Pingsuli knew each other, but at this moment, those people outside were surrounded by many soldiers inside, and they were noisy and shouting as if they were guarding criminals. They all had sad faces, Zhang Huang was at a loss, and when they saw this scene, many of them who were quite scheming retreated, for fear that something would implicate them.

Seeing Lian Zining come out, the dragon lancer Baihu who was in charge of the matter below shouted: "Uncle, shut up Lao Tzu!" ”

The scene immediately fell silent, and those gentry and wealthy businessmen all turned their eyes to Lian Zining.

The Wu Yijun Baihu took a few steps forward, handed over a list to Lian Zining, and whispered a few words.

Lian Zining nodded, looked at the list back and forth, Fang Zi raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, don't be afraid, this official summoned you this time, but there is something for you to know." ”

Behind him, Su Jisheng and County Cheng glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "Could it be that you are calling everyone to donate some military funds?" This Wu Yibo is too anxious, can you still need to do it yourself if you talk to us about this kind of thing? ”

Everyone basically thought of this, and when they heard this, they said one after another: "Uncle, you said, but there are orders." Grass people and so on must serve. ”

"Good!"

Lian Zining smiled slightly, and said loudly: "You guys. and all the people standing behind the official, all of whom are well-known figures in Luoshan County. Either a squire, or a rich man, a lot of money, big wealth, to tell the truth, now the Liaobei general's jurisdiction is in chaos, you are here, it is really not very peaceful. Although my Wu Yijun is known as a good fighter, sweeping away those jumping clowns is just waiting for leisure. But it may not be able to do everything, in case one day there are bandits and thieves who flow here, rob, rob, slaughter, and kill everyone, isn't it beautiful? ”

At this point he paused, and everyone didn't know what he was thinking, so they all waited for the next step.

"That's why I have an idea for you here."

Lian Zining raised his voice: "Why don't you move to Zhenyuan Mansion, there is a large army stationed in Zhenyuan Mansion." Worry-free. The north of Zhenyuan Mansion is the Songhua River, which is boundless, the wharf has been built, and now the official has opened the Songhua River route. Go east by boat from the Songhua River, and after going to the sea, you can go south and go directly to Fuso. Arrived at Tianjin Wei and arrived at Liaodong. Or even directly to Nanzhili, Guangzhou! Ladies and gentlemen. Going to Zhenyuan Mansion has a bright future, whether you are doing business or buying land and property, it is convenient and tight. ”

Lian Zining is like a crappy salesman promoting his products, but no matter how poor his sales skills are, the results are unimaginably good - because of his status, no one dares not believe what he says.

What he said immediately caused a wave in the crowd, and everyone immediately became in a commotion, whispering and talking to each other.

The news that the Songhua River can already be navigated to the east and then go south Lian Zining did not deliberately conceal it, and even in order to attract businessmen to take this route to do business, so as to drive the development of Zhenyuan Mansion, he also sent people to vigorously publicize the news. It's just that the news has naturally not spread to this side, so the reaction of this news in the crowd is like a bombshell.

All of you here are not mediocre people, in fact, if you think about it, if you are mediocre, you will not be able to mix in this position, and you will not be able to achieve this family business. Those in high positions are certainly people who have corpses and vegetarian meals, but most of them who work their own are shrewd.

Naturally, they can hear how much their business can be improved if they move to Zhenyuan Mansion with this benefit.

It's just that they left their hometown, left their homeland, and left the territory of power that they have operated for so many years, but it also makes them extremely uncomfortable, and the things in Zhenyuan Mansion don't know if they are reliable or not!

The first reaction was to disagree.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Why? Let's not go! ”

"Why did you let us move away from our homeland?"

Lian Zining's face sank: "This official is telling you, it is an order, not a discussion!" ”

"Give you a day to prepare, and set off tomorrow, if anyone is delayed, don't blame the knife in the officer's hand for not recognizing people!" Lian Zining coldly dropped a sentence, and turned around and entered the building.

Azig was already a contemplative comment: "You are so willing to stay here, do you want to wait for the Jurchen Tartar to come so that you can use your family property to make enemies?" ”

This simple man went to Beijing and joined the Wu Yi Army, but he didn't learn anything else, and he is familiar with the ability to buckle his hat and calculate people. This big hat is buttoned down, and everyone doesn't dare to squeak! Again? If you dare to talk nonsense, the next moment I'm afraid that it will be a sharp blade! Wu Yibo even dared to kill thousands of officers casually, let alone a small businessman.

These people were naturally dissatisfied, but they didn't even dare to show it, so they had to hurry home and pack up their belongings.

If the real estate can be sold at a low price, it will be sold as soon as possible, if it cannot be sold or the other party is really depressed by the price, one or two family members will be left here to take care of it, and it will be a big deal to go back and dispose of it in the future.

Those fierce and vicious Wu Yijun have all said that they will set off early tomorrow morning, and if they are late, they will be dealt with as collaborators, and the whole family will be beheaded! The three clans!

It's so ruthless!

I have to say that Lian Zining's move to kill Liu Fengli outside the city is ruthless enough, but it is also effective enough, if there is no deterrence of that knife, I am afraid that Wu Yijun's next actions will have a lot of problems, and with that knife, everyone knows Lian Zining's ruthlessness and ruthlessness, and under fear, this matter will be much easier. (To be continued.) )
