Chapter 9 Banditry

Seeing this big box of things, Zhu Changyuan finally understood four words: do what he likes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Awesome, awesome!

Even if Zhang Xianzhong is far away in Gucheng, even if he is such a small figure as Zhu Changyuan, he can know Zhu Changyuan's hobbies, and it is really not a blow to say that this person has the ability.

Zhu Changyuan also took a general look at the contents of the box, and there were really only antique cultural relics, what Xuande furnace, porcelain, pottery, bronze, and jade filled a whole big box.

Mao estimates that there are dozens of pieces, and this Nirmala is a lot of money to bring down modern society, not to mention anything else, just these seemingly useless things, I don't know how much fuel can be exchanged.

Even buying a couple of fans is not a problem.

Collect, why don't you accept it, it's a fool not to accept it!

The more these things, the more the merrier. However, Xiong Wencan's attitude made Zhu Chang wonder, it seems that this Governor Xiong knew that Zhang Xianzhong was going to give gifts, but for Mao, this goods is so clear?

Could it be that this product should have also received Zhang Xianzhong's things?

"Hehe, then thank you Zhang Dashuai, but don't be rude, since Zhang Dashuai is so generous, I can't be stingy, just give your handsome two things that are the only things in the world."

After speaking, he drove the master out of the house, secretly put the box of treasures into the system carriage, and then closed the door and said to the master: "Come with me, I will let people pick up the things later, and you go with me to get the things I gave to your king." ”

took Tang Bingshuo all the way to his barracks, asked Po Lu to move the bicycle out, and said, "How does the master look at this thing?" ”

Master Tang looked left and right, he had never seen this thing before, but there was a look of disdain in his eyes, and he secretly said that it was also precious to play?

"Broken. Putting this thing. Pointing to the bicycle, he took a watch from his hand and handed it to him, "And this watch." returned to Gucheng with the master and sent it to Zhang Dashuai. And thank Zhang Dashuai for his generosity. ”

"Yes, little prince!" Po Yu took the bicycle, rode up with his legs cocked, looked at the master and said, "Please also ask the master to ride a horse in front to lead the way." ”

The master secretly said that this thing can still be ridden? How is this possible?

However, he didn't dare to disobey Zhu Changyuan's intentions, and rode a horse in front to lead the way.

From Xiangyang City to Gucheng, it is said that it is not far away, but it is not close to it. That's sixty or seventy kilometers away. And there is an official road from Gucheng to Xiangyang, although it is not very smooth, it is still enough to ride a bicycle on it.

In particular, breaking captives is ten thousand enemies, not to mention physical strength, and the speed of riding a bicycle is not a problem for 20 kilometers per hour.

The master rode in front, and he didn't dare to ride too fast, waiting for the break all the way, the break was riding a bicycle at an average speed, and he didn't feel tired at all, and it took four hours to easily go from Xiangyang to Gucheng.

Horseback riding when you come back. It was much faster, almost two hours away.

Zhang Xianzhong looked at the two things Zhu Changyuan gave him and smiled. happily said to Tang Bingshuo: "Do you know what this is?" He shook the watch around his neck and showed off.

"Please also ask the marshal to give advice!"

Isn't the master just a piece of iron, but you are so precious, and this thing is not gold or silver.

"Hahaha, it's lonely." After shaking it around, he said: "This is a watch, some time ago I sent someone to the capital to give gifts to those officials, and they told me about this when they came back." ”

"Don't look at it small, do you know how valuable it is?"

didn't wait for the master to answer. Zhang Xianzhong himself replied: "There is a shop in the capital, and it is said that the price of the first day of auction is 6,000 taels of silver. On the second day, it was six thousand and one tael, and the buyer was our Zhu Changyuan Zhu. It's just that I didn't know that this General Zhu was so generous and gave it to Ben Shuai. ”

"Dashuai!" Master wants to remind you that the things you Zhang Dashuai gave out are more than six thousand taels, and ten of these iron lumps can be bought.

"Haha." Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand and said, "I know what you want to say." ”

"What I just told you is just the auction price. It is said that once out of the capital, the value of this thing on the black market more than doubled, of course, these are not as much as one-tenth of what Ben Shuai gave to Zhu Changyuan, but he can give this thing away, which shows that he still looks at Ben Shuai differently. ”

"As for what kind of bicycle it is, Ben Shuai is not rare, Ben Shuai only loves good horses to ride, that thing is too fancy."

Before Zhang Xianzhong's words fell, suddenly a subordinate ran over panting and said, "Dashuai, it's not good, it's not good, it's up, it's up." ”

Zhang Xianzhong heard the spirit and said: "Who, who is fighting, self-contained?" Luo Rucai? It's still Huang Taiji! But he said in his heart: Let's fight, the bigger the fight, the better, the opportunity for this handsome man has come.

However, the next sentence of the subordinate almost made him angry and hurt himself.

"Report to the marshal, no, it's the sixth lady and the ninth lady who are fighting."

Nani?

Didn't Emperor Taiji and Emperor Chongzhen fight?

"What's going on?"

Zhang Xianzhong asked with a frown.

"Because, because of the bicycle given by the handsome, several ladies scrambled for it, and the sixth lady and the ninth lady quarreled, and then they quarreled and fought."

"What about the eldest lady, is the eldest lady just asking?"

Zhang Xianzhong had a headache, speaking of this group of ladies, it really made his head bigger, all day long the swords and soldiers fought to the death, where is this like a group of women, it is simply bandits!

The subordinate said tremblingly: "Since, the bicycle was taken away by the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is busy practicing the car." ”

"Poof!" Woman, is that really that fun?

Zhang Xianzhong took a breath and said, "Let them make trouble, Lao Tzu doesn't care, don't worry about it." Thinking about it, it was not a way, and said to the master: "Master Tang, why don't you run to Zhu Changyuan again, and simply buy a few more bicycles to come back, so as not to let these people rob all day long." ”

The master had a bitter face, and said in his heart that it was almost dark this day, you told me to go and run again now, but there was no way, the handsome man had ordered, if you didn't go, you would disobey the holy decree, and if you disobeyed the holy decree, could you still have good fruit to eat?

"Yes, Dashuai, my subordinates will go."

"Go, you don't need to bring your belongings here, first negotiate the price with him, Ben Shuai wants to buy him seventeen or eighteen, one for each lady in the backyard, and his grandmother's, I don't believe that there will be a fight this time?"

The master sighed and ran out pretending to be a fart.

In Xiangyang City, Xiong Wencan shouted all the military attaches who were guarding the city to his palace and held a mobilization meeting.

If you don't shout the military attache above the garrison, it's not that he can't shout, but the hard-pressed Xiangyang City doesn't have it at all.

The military rank is a little bigger, and the soldiers under him are a little more, all of them have been looted by Zuo Liangyu, he wants to call a few Zuo Liangyu together, but people don't buy it.

There is a garrison in Xiangyang City, whose name is Chen Shiqi, who looks like a weak scholar with little courage, but he is a garrison sent by the Imperial Court.

As for the rest of the bosses, just listen to their names and you'll know what's going on.

Put the total Xiong Futong, put the total Xiong Binglin, put the total Xiong Jiasheng, and put the total Xiong Jiacan.

If you can return the Xiong family, add four more points and it will be the Xiong family's bear.

Zhu Changyuan slandered in his heart, and he roughly knew what was going on, it was not to blame Xiong Wencan for reusing his relatives, the key was that he couldn't recruit generals without money in his hand, so he asked the court for it, and the court didn't know who to ask?

The generals of the previous recruitments all died on the way to suppress the bandits, and they had to choose some people from their relatives to serve as a last resort, and to be honest, no one wanted to do this job.

The leader of this Xiangyang City is always like the governor of Jiliao, it seems to be a real life, but it is actually a pit, fortunately, Jiliao is a super big pit, and this Xiangyang pit is a little smaller.

Lao Xiong said one thing mainly at the meeting: there is no money.

What does it mean to have no money? What does it mean to have no military pay? In a few days, the soldiers will either rebel, resign, or ask for salary.

How to solve the problem of military pay?

Generally speaking, there are two ways, the most formal way is to reach out to the court, but the court is unlikely to ignore you. The reason is that the annual tax revenue of the Ming Empire is limited, and all military expenditures have to be spent on the soldiers of Liaodong.

Sometimes the sergeants in Liaodong will be owed wages, let alone Xiangyang, a place that is not valued by the imperial court?

Since the imperial court can't work, there is only one way to think of the second way: that is, the local government itself collects taxes, raises donations, and slaughters large households. To put it bluntly, it is to find a way in this Xiangyang City.

But now Xiangyang is not as good as before, in addition to being scraped a layer of land by Zuo Liangyu every year, those big households are forced to donate several times by Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai.

If Lord Xiong is scraping a layer of land, it is estimated that this Xiangyang will not have to be guarded, and the people of the entire Xiangyang Mansion will stand up against the imperial court.

The second road was gloriously blocked.

Is there a third way?

Yes, as the saying goes, chickens have chickens and ducks have ducks, and there will always be a way for people to choose, although it seems a little hard. Governor Xiong waved his sleeves, pointed his finger to a certain place outside Xiangyang, and said two exciting words: Suppress bandits!

Yes, bandits! If we can succeed in suppressing the bandits, then we won't be afraid, which thief's den doesn't have some money? In the world now, anyone who is a thief is richer than an officer or soldier.

In case the bandits are not successful, we are not afraid, if we can't kill others, let others die, once our own people die six or seven percent, this salary does not need to be paid, even if it is to be paid, it can be delayed for a while, because the dead will not come to ask you for salary.

Listening to Lord Xiong's analysis, Zhu Changyuan only felt that his scalp was numb, and suddenly thought of reading a novel in his previous life, Cao Cao asked Jia Xu: What can I do without food? Jia Xu said two words when he offered the poison plan: reduce your mouth!

It seems that this Lord Xiong is also well versed in this.

After Xiong Wencan finished speaking, he squinted at Zhu Changyuan and said, "Changyuan, there are not many thieves in this group, and the total number is only two or three hundred, how about you take two or three hundred people to suppress the bandits?" (To be continued)
