234. Everything is a transaction (5)

"Three things?" Yu Guozhen didn't want to hear it at all, he broke free of Zhang Pu's hand: "I haven't done much to do one thing that Shi Kefa promised me before, let alone three?" Moreover, who can believe the treacherous villain who promises a hundred? ”

"There will be no problems this time, absolutely. There are no pop-up windows in Qishuwu" Zhang Fu patted his chest and guaranteed: "If there is a problem, the foolish brother will come to see you!" ”

"Brother Tianru...... I don't want your head. Yu Guozhen glanced at Zhang Tao with a smile, he didn't say the next sentence, Zhang Fu also knew the meaning, Zhang Fu's head was not worth the price at all!

Zhang Pu's face turned red, a person like him who thinks highly of himself, the most disgusting thing is that others look down on him!

But this time I came to appease Yu Guozhen for Shi Kefa, and I had already done an errand before, so I couldn't be worse. Therefore, he smiled and said, "That's good, that's good, Jimin, you say, how can I get you to agree?" ”

"Shi Kefa swears by the spirit of his teacher Zuo Zhongyi Gong in the sky." Yu Guozhen said.

This condition suddenly made Zhang Fu's eyes widen, this ding is not only a matter of distrusting Shi Kefa, it is simply tearing his face with Shi Kefa!

Shi Kefa respects his teacher the most, if he wants to swear by the spirit of his teacher, I don't know how embarrassed Shi Kefa will be!

Yu Guozhen sneered, Shi Kefa's shame and anger, what does it have to do with him, Shi Kefa made the first year of junior high school, and he didn't blame him for being fifteen. If you don't believe in your words, you have to pay the price for it, as for Shi Kefa's so-called hardships, in the final analysis, it is just their Donglin's interests!

"Since Brother Yu Xian is so insistent, then I will reciprocate." Zhang Bo looked at Yu Guozhen for a while, and saw that he had never withdrawn Fang Cai's words, and knew that he had already made up his mind this time: "One of the three things is to allow you a quota of 500 people in the Xiang'an Inspection Division. The second of the three things is one hundred sets of horses and armor soldiers of the Xu Xiang'an Inspection Division. The third of the three things is ......"

"Needless to say, if it's just these things, I'm not sensitive." Yu Guozhen laughed: "You can go back and say to Shi Kefa, the organ has been exhausted, and the surname of Qingqing has been mistaken." ”

"Jimin, why do you say this?"

"The Xiang'an Inspection Division was established by the imperial court, and the inspection department was used by the imperial court. Shi Kefa is well balanced, and he said that the Xiang'an Inspection Department set up by the imperial court is my Yu Guozhen...... Isn't his wishful thinking just the idea of my three hundred family members? Yu Guozhen sneered: "There is one thing, he may not know, Uncle Jia has resigned from the post of inspector." ”

"What? Why ......"

Zhang Pu asked two words, and the words were stuffed back, wasn't the reason that Shi Kefa slapped Yu Yixuan's board when he first took office!

"I won't embarrass you, you go back, Shi Kefa, the head of the rat at both ends, backtracking, not a pillar material.

Zuo Zhongyi's public trust in the future, it is really a last resort, if this person can be used, he will be mistaken. Yu Guozhen thought of the original history, Shi Kefa supervised Jianghuai for nearly ten years, and did not train into a soldier, when the Liukou approached the capital, he did not mention the division to save but watched and watched, after Chongzhen was martyred, he couldn't wait to get the merit of supporting, but he was still wavering on the issue of supporting blessings and supporting Lu, and finally failed to supervise Yangzhou......

Nothing but integrity!

These words held back in Yu Guozhen's heart for a long time, and he actually hoped that a person like Shi Kefa, who had left a good name in history, could make a career that matched his reputation, but now Shi Kefa disappointed him. Thinking about it carefully, this is in line with Shi Kefa's surname, and he has been helping him, but he can't change his original surname at all.

"Ahem...... ahem" Zhang Fu took this as a simple angry talk, seeing that Yu Guozhen was angry, he once again decided that the matter of moving tens of thousands of thieves was extremely important to Yu Guozhen, but it was precisely because it was extremely important that Zhang Fu made up his mind and had to destroy this matter.

Like Shi Kefa, he was worried that Yu Guozhenwei would be out of tune. If Yu Guozhen really has tens of thousands of households in the south, then if he wants to cause chaos to the Ming Dynasty, the damage will be even greater!

If you can't use it for him, then it's better to ......

This thought flashed in Zhang Fu's mind, but he didn't think about it, he knew that Yu Guozhen had a pair of eyes that were too sharp, as long as he thought about it, he would show flaws in front of these eyes, and that kind of result was definitely something he couldn't bear.

And slowly figure it out.

"Jimin, listen to me, I don't think these three are reasonable, otherwise, you can tell me, what do you want, we will do our best!"

Yu Guozhen took a deep breath, looked at him coldly, and then stretched out three fingers.

"The people who possess the thieves have captured tens of thousands, and I don't want anything else, but I only want five hundred, none, for the five hundred people in the city and their families. In addition, the two thousand who are now in Xiang'an are thieves who have accumulated years, but they are more honest and repentant, so I will keep them. Yu Guozhen said indifferently: "I killed more than 100 people in this battle, I didn't ask for a copper coin from the court, my home was destroyed, I have to rebuild, these people must be given to me, this is the bottom line!" ”

"I'm acting on behalf of Shi Dao!" Zhang Fu nodded.

Originally, their plan was small, and they knew that Yu Guozhen would not spit out what he ate in his mouth, in fact, Yu Guozhen sold three thousand prisoners and armor weapons, Shi Kefa also knew, and he was still surprised, and it was precisely because he knew this that he was sure that Yu Guozhen would indeed not collude with the thieves. If there are only 2,500 people, although 2,500 people are young and strong, in Shi Kefa's opinion, this is better than tens of thousands.

"These 2,500 people, I will take them to Qinzhou, and the documents along the way, Shi Kefa prepared them for me, and the official documents that went to Qinzhou to settle down are also the same." Yu Guozhen bent down his second finger, which was the second condition he proposed.

"No."

As for the third...... I don't want it. Yu Guozhen curled the third finger down: "If these two conditions can be achieved, he Shi Kefa can be regarded as a believer." ”

When saying "believer", Yu Guozhen deliberately accentuated his tone, and the irony was overflowing.

Zhang Bo nodded: "This ...... Or do you want to swear by the spirit of Zuo Zhongyi? “

"That's natural, he can't give him some trouble if he doesn't believe in his words?" Yu Guozhen said.

"Deal!"

This deal was made at once. Not long after Zhang Pu returned, he brought Shi Kefa's handwritten letter, although the letter did not swear by Zuo Guangdou's spirit in the sky, but directly sent two official documents, it was in the name of the four prefectures to send the 2,500 people to Qinzhou exiles, and also stamped the big seal.

Shi Kefa himself really didn't come to Xiang'an, and now that he and Yu Guozhen have returned to the situation before the war, they naturally refuse to see Yu Guozhen. However, it has become like this, especially since Donglin's giant Wen Zhenmeng has become the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zhang Fu is not good at mentioning Yu Guozhen's movable type printing and ink.

Shi Kefa went to Nan and Beijing, and soon received the appointment of the governor of Anqing, Luzhou, Chizhou, Tai, and Hu. Although nominally he still has to be tempered by Zhang Guowei, in fact, he has become a righteous feudal official. Although he was very unhappy with Yu Guozhen, his main goal was finally achieved, and he relied on the original secret agreement and resettled the tens of thousands of people on the spot.

But his joy soon came to an end.

"Master, why are you depressed?" His curtain guest Zhang Chi asked in surprise.

"Bai Deli Yu Guo is ......" Shi Kefa smiled bitterly and sighed.

"Huh?" Zhang Chi was stunned.

When Shi Kefa decided to reneg on the secret agreement, he consulted him several times, so he was able to convey the news to Yu Guozhen euphemistically through Bao Wenda, hoping that Yu Guozhen could come to see Shi Kefa in person, so as to save the matter as much as possible. But it's a pity that Yu Guozhen didn't know much about the circles in this set of officialdom, and he didn't respond in time, which made his idea come to naught.

Zhang Chi also persuaded Shi Kefa to leave room in this matter, but Shi Kefa was quite stubborn, which made Zhang Chi hesitate again in his heart, he was familiar with the operation of the official face, and he also knew that if he did not have enough ability, but betrayed his agreement, such a person would not go far.

Although it is common for officials to turn their backs on their allies, it is like Shi Kefa'...... It's unwise!

"Nan, Jing Zhenshou, it's really stupid." Shi Kefa smiled helplessly: "But what they said is also ...... It also makes sense. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Chi couldn't help but ask.

"Those who are attached to [***] strong, including women and children, can't be kept." Shi Kefa sighed.

In addition to reporting on his work, an important purpose of his visit to Nanjing this time was to ask for money. Since he was appointed governor of An and Qing, he needed a lot of money to appease the people, especially those whose homes had been destroyed by the rogues. Not only does he have to find a way to organize them to rebuild their homes, but he also has to pay for their food before the next harvest season...... After the rogue passed, almost all the grain stocks were destroyed, and for three or four months, these people basically had to rely on relief!

But the imperial court had no money.

In order to deal with the thieves' occupation of Zhongdu, Lu and Zhou, Emperor Chongzhen had to take out his private money, pay 200,000 taels of ordinary gold to help the brake salary, and use 200,000 taels of salt tax to store in Huaiyang, plus 100,000 taels from Taifu Temple, 100,000 taels from this province, 190,000 taels from the lake, and 40,000 taels from Sichuan, all of which add up to 830,000 taels. But after only a month of war, there is not much money left.

Moreover, these coins can only be used for the salaries and rewards of the thieves, but they cannot be used for the relief of the victims!

Shi Kefa asked Zhang Chi to roughly calculate that almost all of the people in the entire Anqing governor's area were disaster victims, and the number of those whose homes were completely destroyed was no less than 200,000. Moreover, the price of rice was high after the rebellion, even if it was to ensure that these victims would not starve to death, it was not something that could be done with just one or two thousand taels of silver, not to mention that there were more than 70,000 prisoners!

"In other words, the imperial court can't come up with enough money to help the victims?"

"Exactly, Zhang Dongyang promised me 150,000 taels, and the imperial court can draw tens of thousands of taels for me from the two Huai salt gangs at most...... Alas, without money, it would not have been possible to appease the exiles. If it can't be appeased, it will become a disadvantage after a long time, if you know this, it is better to send those people to Yu Guozhen, tens of thousands of people less, and it can also reduce a lot of burden. ”
