Chapter 403: The Dilemma of the Party
readx;
Stepping into the government? This is a question that these people have never thought about. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There is a common characteristic of the ninth-rate people, that is, they have no savings on their bodies, and there is no need to save money when they are young, so they steal when they have no money, but rob and cheat. You can't keep the money in your hand, in case you are caught by the government, not to mention confiscating it, it is still your own incriminating evidence.
By the time they get old, it's no longer possible to earn some coffins. Just like in old times, grabbing a small amount of gold and silver was already a windfall for him. As for what to do if they can't do it in the future, they never dare to think about it.
If you can really mix a position in the government, you can get a little money every month when you get old, and you will really be much better than you are now.
Zhanzhao's words piqued the interest of these people, and they were no longer silent. Baozi immediately stood up: "Zhan Ye, let's say, what should we do?" ā
Zhan Zhao pointed at Chen Yuan: "This, you ask Lord Chen." ā
Chen Yuan was very contemptuous in his heart, these people really looked at their eyes, and their attitude towards Zhan Zhaohe was completely different, they didn't respect themselves, and they weren't good people! But then again, he's not looking for good people now, and good people can't be spies.
He said: "What Lord Zhan said is very right, if you do a good job, I can guarantee that no one will be held accountable for your previous crimes, and at the same time, you will be able to live a more comfortable life in the future." No one will force you to do it, and I will say one last thing, if you fail, death may be the best outcome you will face. ā
Cai Lu asked, "What about the worst outcome?" ā
Chen Yuan spread his hands: "You can't die!" ā
The price has been opened, this is the same as doing business, if you think it is suitable, you will stay and do it, if you think it is not suitable, everyone will go their own way, the result is not bad, only more than 20 people left.
The rest of the people are obviously willing to accept this price, especially the old man, who is old and may not have a few years to support himself on his own. If you fight hard at this time, you may be able to make the rest of your life fall into stability.
Chen Yuan divided the eighty people into eight groups of ten people each, and after a short run-in, he was ready to let them go to the party.
There is no need to train, and Chen Yuan doesn't know how to train spies, so let Li Yuanhao train them.
If one of these eight groups of people can do well, it will be a harvest for Chen Yuan, and those who do well will be the foundation of his spy team in the future.
Regarding the grouping to Yelisuo, most of these people belong to the kind of "long-admired", just like the old man, who just reported his nickname, and the bun came up and grabbed him: "Senior! How about we work as a two? ā
After dividing the group, Chen Yuan clapped his hands, and then revealed his hole cards: "Okay guys, I think you should all want to know your tasks very much by now." Just like Zhan-sama said. What you have done this trip is for the benefit of the country and the people, and if you do it well, your merit will definitely be higher than those generals on the battlefield! But no one will take credit for you. ā
Speaking of this, Lao Guo suddenly understood: "Lord Chen, do you want us to help you spy on the military situation?" ā
This is a dangerous task, and everyone knows it. When the old man speaks up, some people's faces immediately change.
Chen Yuan smiled: "Not only the military intelligence, but also the intelligence between the enemy and the enemy's court. You don't need to say anything, you are all smart people, and if you don't do it now, it's already too late. Eight groups of you, I will give you enough funds, 10,000 yuan per group. I don't care how you spend it, I don't care how you enter the party, and I don't care what means you use to complete your tasks. I will arrange for you to have a superior officer, and when you get useful information, give it to him, and once the information is true and of great help to us, he will allocate funds to you. ā
I don't know if this method is professional, anyway, Chen Yuan knows that this is what the Kuomintang spies used to do. This Shangguan is naturally Xia Sui, and those funds are rewards for these people. Different degrees of rewards are given according to the value of the intelligence, if there is a party member to sell the news, Xia Sui has the right to call the shots, Chen Yuan believes that Xia Sui can do a good job.
Saying this, Chen Yuan stretched his hand into his arms: "I have a few jade plates here, and after you elect the captain, the jade plates will be worn by the captain as the only proof of contact with Shangguan......
He was suddenly stunned! His hand immediately stretched out and patted it up and down on his body, where is the money bag?
When he came, he packed it well, some copper coins, with more than a dozen jade plates, all of which were put in the money bag and brought with him, why didn't he have them?
Chen Yuan's strange appearance attracted Zhanzhao's attention, and Zhanzhao looked at it as if he had been stolen. His eyes swept a punch, and finally landed on a guy who looked a little dumbfounded standing next to Lao Guo: "Chang Gui, take it out yourself or will I search it?" ā
The guy sneered, took out the money bag from behind his buttocks, and handed it to Chen Yuan with both hands: "Lord Chen, don't be surprised, the villain really doesn't have a heart, you just walked in front of me, I felt itchy in my heart, and I haven't reacted to what's going on, your money bag came to me, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry." ā
Chen Yuan took the money bag in a daze, he really didn't know how he lost it! The pockets of the Song Dynasty are all in the clothes, and the placket of his coat is well buttoned, why did this money bag fly?
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, opened it and saw that there was no shortage of jade plates inside, so he was relieved.
After this matter was settled, Chen Yuan knew that it was time for Xia Sui to set off now.
Xia Sui wanted to rush to the party before these people, Chai Yang had now gained a firm foothold in the party item, and Chen Yuan asked him to arrange a few suitable identities for Xia Sui, and prepare at least five or more residences where he could hide.
The game with Lee Won-ho is about to start the second round of the competition, and the halftime time is over. Chen Yuan believes that Li Yuanhao has also taken action during this time, can he fill the holes he made for him?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan smiled, if he can't make up for it, then the next storm will inevitably destroy the foundation of Li Yuanhao's family for several generations in the party's business!
Chai Yang, who is in Xingqing Mansion, knows this best now. Chai Yang's current identity is a merchant in the Song Dynasty, and the business he does is to transport rice and cloth from the Great Song Dynasty, sell them in the party, and then collect the cattle and sheep of the party people and sell them to the Great Song Dynasty.
This business is very good in the party, and many people have made a fortune from this kind of business in the past. But now it is different, it has become very difficult to buy things from the Great Song Dynasty, and with the lack of food for the party members, there are fewer and fewer cattle and sheep that can be purchased.
Especially the hungry people are more and more, many branches in Chaiyang have been robbed, and now he has closed all the shops in other places, leaving only one shop here in Xingqing Mansion, which is open to him, also to continue to see the party's market clearly.
In the past month, with the sharp rise in grain prices in the Great Song Dynasty, the prices of party materials have also continued to rise. Rice, in particular, has risen by 30 percent in just 10 days, and ordinary people can no longer even afford a bowl of rice.
Only the wealthy and wealthy households, out of concern for the situation, asked around where there was rice to sell, and wanted to buy some to take home. Most of these big families are well-informed, and the shops in Chaiyang are relatively sufficient places in Xingqing Mansion, and this Song people have a very good way to get some rice to sell every day.
In the morning, Chai Yang just opened the door of the shop, and saw a group of people lined up at the door of his shop. ā
Chai Yang nodded, and then called the guy: "Hang up the sign"
The man answered, and hung up a wooden sign that read: "Thirty Runs and One Bucket"
When the crowd looked at this sign, their faces suddenly changed: "Shopkeeper, why has the price increased again?" ā
"That's outrageous, isn't it? Shopkeeper, a few months ago, we sold grain for 30 wen a bucket, which has risen so high in a blink of an eye, and it still doesn't let people eat it? ā
"Oh, you see, the shopkeeper has changed his bucket today! Didn't you use to be a ten-liter bucket? How did it become a seven-liter bucket today? ā
Chai Yang said: "I'm sorry, it's not easy for me to do this business, now the price of this grain is outrageous, the Great Song Dynasty can't go on the road, and now the party is not very peaceful, there are people grabbing grain everywhere, don't think I want to sell like this." In the next day, this business is barely holding on. ā
Someone else wanted to say something, but a guy with a full beard rushed over: "No matter how much money you have, I want as many meters as you want!" ā
This obviously caused public anger, and the people next to them didn't care about the price, and pointed their fingers at the guy: "Why are you like this?" Why did you buy it all by yourself? ā
The man craned his neck: "What? Can't you? Lao Tzu is rich, Lao Tzu just wants to buy them all! ā
The temper of the party item was already hot, and the man's words obviously aroused the anger of many people, and several people rushed over from the side and grabbed the guy and started it.
Chai Yang went up and pulled everyone away: "Guest officers, don't do it, the shop still has rules, although there are not many of them, but each person can only buy three buckets at most, and I will never sell more!" Now the queue is lined up, and I can sell smoothly, and you can buy smoothly, right? ā
A long line lined up from the window of the store, and everyone bought three buckets of rice, and there was definitely no less to buy.
Inside the counter, five guys who pack rice are busy. Even so, the queue was getting longer and longer, and in half an hour, the three-cylinder rice in the shop bottomed out. The people who didn't buy it in the back were suddenly a little nervous, for fear that there would be no more, until the guys lifted two more cylinders from the back, and they were relieved.
Chai Yang stood on the side and saw the people who had caught the rice leaving happily, and the ones that had not been bought were still waiting anxiously, and his heart sighed.
Thirty times a bucket, it's too expensive. Even Chai Yang felt that this was an unacceptable price. But it will continue to rise tomorrow, and until when?
Chen Yuan said very clearly, slowly rising, to the point that these big families can't afford it, it means that the entire party has been stripped away! There are still a lot of queues now, and everyone buys the maximum limit, which shows that those big parties can still support it!
This is also the reason why Chai Yang sells three buckets per person. I'll sell you a few hundred stones at a time, and you won't buy them in the future. So I sell slowly, three buckets at a time, just enough for a big family to eat for a day, tomorrow I want to eat and buy again, tomorrow I will continue to increase the price, until you can't afford it, which means that you have no money in your pocket.
When the party item is stripped out, Chai Yang will leave Xingqing Mansion and go to the border of the party, to the sphere of influence of those who oppose Li Yuanhao, and then his identity is still a businessman, but at that time he will slowly bring down the price of food, so that those who oppose Li Yuanhao can live a normal life.
