Chapter 112: Guilty of Guilt
Zhang Ruteng stood up: "What a big dog's guts!" Come on, go out with Ben! ”
Before he finished speaking, he left the table, walked a few steps, as if remembering something, and turned around and said, "Qiqi, you eat first, don't worry, everything is with me." ”
These words are as if the husband who is going out on the expedition is telling his wife at home, and he is unambiguous.
He turned his head and left, unaware that Su Qiqi behind him had buried his head in his chest, and his face was red to the base of his neck.
Hundreds of brocade guards hula ran out, and there was a circle of horsemen with bows and crossbows on the courtyard wall, this battle could scare Xie Qianjin a lot, he said in his heart that this master must have misunderstood, and hurriedly stepped forward with both hands and apologized: "Don't do it, don't do it!" The little old man didn't know that Master Zhang was coming, and there was a lot of negligence in the house yesterday, and the rebel son was invisible, so he also invited Lord Zhang Haihan. Today, the little old man has a special small profit, and he came to apologize, please forgive me, forgive me! ”
Zhang Ru glared at Fan Tongyi viciously.
Where is this Xie Qianjin sent someone to surround the eunuch's mansion, obviously he brought his servants over to apologize. I knew that he was hanging this old guy, and he came out in such a hurry, this face was a big loss.
However, on this occasion, he couldn't scold Fan Tong immediately, so he had to say lightly to Xie Qianjin: "Some little things, Zhang has long been out of mind. Master Xie's behavior is not to treat Zhang as a faint official in the fish and meat township. Ben will inspect the nine sides, and he has been coming to Xuanfu for a while, and he took the liberty of visiting yesterday, but he saw the luxury of the first Xie family in the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Xie didn't offend Zhang, so why did Master Xie tie him up. Let the people see it, but I am afraid that they will treat Ben Jiang as a cannibal tiger and wolf and lose the hearts of the people, this crime is not something Ben Jiang can afford. ”
Xie Qianjin said in a low voice: "This matter is a lack of consideration by the little old man, and the commander is not to blame." This rebel son did not say anything yesterday and offended the adult. The so-called son is not the fault of the father, and the son does something wrong, and the little old man has no choice but to come to the door with a cheeky face to ask the adult for forgiveness. ”
Zhang Ru waved his hand very casually: "Don't worry, Ben will not take such a trivial matter to heart, you go back!" ”
This makes it clear that Lao Tzu is unwilling to give you this face, you just get all your family's wealth, and I won't forgive you.
Xie Jie, who was kidnapped by his father for some reason, only then did he know that the young man who made him lose face last night was actually the governor of the Nine Sides who was even higher than Zhang An, the chief soldier of Xuanfu. Daddy tied himself up to eliminate the disaster for himself.
If there was another person, Zhang Ru might be temporarily let go because of his low voice, but this person was Xie Qianjin, so he didn't plan to let go of this invisible rich man who might have more money in his family than the household treasury.
At this extraordinary moment, he would not allow anyone to disrupt his plans, because once the Tatars invaded, then what Xuanfu would face would be 300,000 steppe iron horsemen after Datong was breached.
At such a time, if there is a rich merchant who can supply the army with heavy grain and grass by himself, it will make the entire Xuanfu and hundreds of thousands of border troops in Datong fall to death.
Xie Qianjin was helpless, and kicked his son to the ground: "Rebel, kneel down and kowtow to the old man, when will Lord Zhang forgive you, when will you be able to go home." ”
When he had said this, he turned to leave.
That Xie Jie was also like an honest child, his head was pounded on the ground, and when he knocked it, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Ru pitifully, that expression, not to mention how bad it was.
Xie Qianjin didn't know the bottom in his heart, the reason why he used such a bitter trick was just to test whether Zhang Ru wanted to put the Xie family to death. He walked extremely slowly, waiting for Zhang Ru to call him, but his figure had already reached the end of the line, and he didn't hear Zhang Ru's voice.
Just when he thought that Zhang Ru really wanted to kill the Xie family with this trivial matter, Fan Tong's voice came from behind him: "Old man, stop." ”
Xie Qianjin turned around excitedly, only to see that Zhang Ru had stopped Xie Jie from kowtowing with his toes, and a brocade guard put away his bow and crossbow, gushing out like a tide and receding like a tide.
"Inside, please!" Zhang Ru made a gesture of please.
Regardless of whether the Xie family offended him or not, he couldn't go too far, and he believed that Zhang An would not have too much to do with such a rich businessman without reason. The army is the foundation of protecting the family and defending the country, without the army, no matter how rich the people are, I am afraid that they will end up with a weak Song Dynasty.
It is said that there is no China after Yashan, and there is no China after the death of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Ru, who used to be a liberal arts man, was also an angry young man in high school. Coming to the Ming Dynasty, he finally had the opportunity to change all this, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
So even if it wasn't at the critical juncture when the war was imminent, he wouldn't have forced a wealthy businessman like Xie Qianjin to a dead end. When the dog is in a hurry and jumps over the wall, who knows if Xie Qianjin will use the means of scattering his family wealth to set off the banner of rebellion after he is really forced to be anxious.
After letting the Xie family father and son into the eunuch's mansion, the guests and hosts sat in separate columns, the clumsy brocade-clothed Wei Ti rode with hot tea, and Zhang Ru personally untied the rope on Xie Jie's body.
Xie Qianjin's butt didn't sit hot, so he stood up and apologized to Zhang Ru again: "Thank you for forgiving the child." ”
Zhang Ru shook his head, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said: "This is not an unforgivable thing, if Master Xie hadn't sent a lot of grain and grass to the border army on the occasion of many times against the enemy, he would not have let go of the Xie family this time." Xie Jie was reckless, which would have been understandable, after all, he was a young man. But it will not take time for Ben to come to Xuanfu, and with the connections of the Xie family, there is no reason not to know the identity of Ben Jiang. Last night, even Master Xie was disdainful of Ben Jiang, which is no longer disrespectful to Ben Jiang.
Ben will be young, but this can't be a reason for the Xie family to bully me.
Jin Yiwei's file clearly states that after your Xie family is developed, it will not show its strength, and from time to time you will let your subordinates send food and clothing to the poor. Eight out of ten roads in this Xuanfu were paved at the expense of your Xie family, and the construction of this Xuanfu has a great relationship with your Xie family.
But as the saying goes, killing people and setting fire to gold belts, building bridges and paving roads without corpses, who knows if you Xie Qianjin Xie did too many things that hurt nature and reason before he was developed?
When Mr. Xie kowtowed just now, Ben Jiang had been looking for a reason for you, racking his brains to find such a reason. ”
After speaking, he looked at Xie Qianjin with a smile.
Xie Jie rubbed the bruised position on his forehead, and when he heard that Zhang Ru had deliberately sold a pass, he immediately asked, "What is the reason?" ”
Xie Qianjin glared at his son and smiled: "I don't know what the commander wants the Xie family to do this time, as long as the Xie family can do it, Xie will definitely do his best." ”
Zhang Ru asked lightly: "I don't know if Master Xie knows the recent movements on the Datong border?" ”
Xie Qianjin shook his head and said that he didn't know, he already had a plan in his heart, this young nine-sided governor would definitely not ask about the situation on the border of Datong without purpose. The next thing he is going to say is likely to be related to Datong.
Sure enough, Zhang Ru frowned and said, "The Tatar army of 300,000 is already on the way to Datong. My men are now keeping an eye on the pace of the march of the Tatar army. In the near future, the capital will set a policy, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the 100,000 troops of Xuanfu and the 120,000 troops of Jizhen will be transferred to Datong to guard the border pass.
This journey requires a lot of grain and grass, and also a lot of baggage.
His Majesty advocated alchemy a few years ago, and spent a lot of money, but now the inner treasury is afraid that it will not be able to take out 10,000 taels of silver.
The big men of the household department are careful every day, they are not the main battle faction in the first place, even if the enemy hits the doorstep, they have to hold their money bags tightly. It was a fantasy to want those guys to get the money out of the Tobe treasury.
Therefore, this time I have to ask Master Xie for help. ”
With this request, Xie Qianjin, who is a rich country, also gasped. Not to mention the 200,000 soldiers who eat horses, the weight is a lot of money.
If there is really a war, I am afraid that many businesses will be forced to stop at that time, and for a while, he will be a little difficult.
The most important thing for the Xie family is money, but he also has to ensure these industries in order to ensure his family business.
When he was hesitating, Xie Jie, the master of the pit father, stood up very decisively and agreed to Zhang Ru's request: "I thought that the commander was just a boy who flew eagles and horses, but I didn't expect that the commander was also a minister of the humerus who planned for the society of the country." This matter is not a big deal, Xie agreed for his father. I have offended a lot before, and I ask the Governor to forgive me. ”
This time, he sincerely apologized, because at this moment, no matter whether Zhang Ru was trying to cheat his family's money or not, he felt that Zhang Ru's image was glorious.
Xie Qianjin was stunned by his son's words, and opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't know what words to use.
Zhang Ru saw his difficulties, and said to Xie Jie with a smile: "Xie Gongzi's heart to serve the country with his fists, Zhang Mou has thanked the millions of border troops on the nine sides first." However, I don't know when this battle will last, and after a long time, even if the Xie family has gold and silver, it will be difficult to continue. The general's intention was not to let the Xie family fund for free, but just wanted to ask Master Xie to mobilize grain, grass and baggage from Jiangnan and Huguang within the scope of his ability, so that the army could buy it at any time.
The money required for these things, Zhang can't give it to Master Xie according to the market price, please give the young general a real number after consideration, that is, smash the pot and sell iron, and Zhang will also make up the money for Master Xie. ”
Hearing him say that he didn't want to be funded for free, Xie Qianjin's burden was completely unloaded, straightened his somewhat curved back, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, the old man will order grain and grass to be transported to Xuanfu from all over the country when he goes back." The old man is also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the duty of the old man to serve the people. ”
Zhang Ru nodded happily: "Okay, with Master Xie's words, Zhang is relieved." However, only a few of us know about today's events, so we must not spread the word about it, so as not to cause panic among the people. If there is any gossip outside."
"Rest assured, no one else will know." Xie Jie patted his chest and grinned.
Zhang Ru nodded: "Okay, it's time for dinner, you two might as well stay and eat some coarse tea and light rice." ”
Xie Qianjin hesitated, and Xie Jie came out again to make the decision for Lao Tzu: "Then bother the commander." ”
