Just after the time of the palm lamp, goose feathers and heavy snow fell in the dark sky, and there were very few official duties that dared to ask questions after the wild wolf's mouth incident. After he had eaten dinner, he took out a book on the table when he had nothing to do, and just turned two pages when he heard the bustling voices of people coming from the Weisi Yamen across the wall. This made him, who had suffered from the battlefield in recent months, suddenly feel alert, and with the Yanling knife in his hand, he pushed the door out.

The guards in the courtyard also tiptoed curiously to see what was going on in the Weisi Yamen across the wall, and when they saw the Lord Cheng shouting out of the house with a knife, he hurriedly trotted to him.

"What do you command?"

"Is there a situation in the Wei Si Yamen?"

The guards were not as vigilant as they had ever been, and said with a smile: "Back to the adult, what kind of prosecutor general has seized a large number of things." Another guard echoed in unison. Yes, the alleys outside are crowded with carts, all the way to the city gate! ”

Zeng Dare was shocked, and then remembered what Li Xin had said to him the day before. This kind of competition with the people is incompatible with the education he has received since he was a child, and he does not think so. But Li Xin has great power, he has no power or ability to interfere, he just wants to see what moth he can toss.

Although the courtyard where Zeng Dare was located was only separated by a wall from the Weisi Yamen, it was not directly connected, and he pushed open the gate and stepped out, but was shocked by the scene in front of him. I saw that the streets that were dark in the past were brightly lit by countless torches, and the crowded convoy lined up from the street in front of the Wei Si Yamen to the south, and there was no end in sight.

After being stunned for a long time, Zeng dared to go back to the future, this Li Xin really did what he said and robbed the goods of Shanxi businessmen. Zeng dared to suddenly realize the strict nature of the problem, putting aside the principle of not competing with the people in the court, although he was a scholar, he was not completely ignorant of the things between officials and businessmen.

Li Xin was greedy and suddenly looted so much property under the pretext of being a thief, but he got into a big disaster and stabbed a hornet's nest! Even if he gained the upper hand in this matter for a while, it was not easy to swallow so many goods in one bite, as long as the local officials and businessmen reacted and attacked it in groups, how many iron nails could he hit with this small town guard? How do small arms fight with other people's big thick legs?

It's just nonsense.

Zeng dared to go straight to the gate of the Weisi Yamen angrily, squeezed through the crowd in front of the door, and blocked Li Xin in the conference hall that entered the courtyard in the second place.

"General Li, General Li, it looks like a catastrophe is coming!"

Li Xin smiled:

"Don't joke about the experience, why is it a big disaster?"

Zeng dared to point to the goods of the convoy outside, and said worriedly: "The value of these goods will not be impossible to estimate by the general, how can their original owners be resigned?" ”

Li Xin was still immersed in the joy of winning the first battle, he didn't expect Zeng Dare's reaction to be so strong, and he thought so far, but in any case, he was worried about the future of Zhenyuwei, and there was no need to drive this annoying guy away. What's more, Li Xin has to pull him to do this!

"The experience of the adults came at the right time, the amount of materials is huge, whether it is the Wei Si Yamen or the General Military Mansion to deal with it alone, it seems inappropriate, so Li Xin is ready to prepare for the establishment of a department dedicated to the disposal of confiscated and embargoed goods, and he still needs to rely on the experience of the adults."

Whether it is the Weisi Yamen or the General Military Mansion, with the current situation, to paraphrase Li Xin's words in his previous life, it is a set of teams to hang two signs, and now he wants to hang a third brand.

Zeng dared to sneer.

"What else can Zeng rely on for General Li?"

He had always felt sorry for En's great trust in him because of his previous failures, but now Li Xin actually begged him for help in turn, if he agreed, wouldn't it be for the tiger? But if you don't agree, can you watch the town guards being pushed to the forefront by him?

In the early morning of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the gongs and drums in front of the Weisi Yamen were noisy, and firecrackers rang out. Li Xin put up a wooden sign engraved with black letters on the left side of the gate in the expectant eyes of everyone. Those who are curious and literate read it from top to bottom.

"Military Management Material Disposal Committee ......"

There are not many military households in the city, and most of the onlookers are the clerks, soap subordinates and miscellaneous servants in the yamen, among which there are also well-informed figures, and the disposal of military management materials is very understandable, but it is the first time I have heard of the name of the committee.

It sounds complicated, but in fact, there are only two members of the committee, one is Li Xin, the commander of the Three Guards, who was born as a military attaché, and the other is Zeng Dare, who was born as a civilian official. The disposition of all confiscated materials must be stamped by both commissioners in order to be effective.

Among these people who watched the excitement, not all of them were beaming, and one face was covered with clouds. That was Gu Tong, although he was under house arrest in a small courtyard in the Weisi Yamen, and was closely guarded for twelve hours, he was not cut off from the news. He witnessed the events of the past few days through the crack in the door.

When he learned that Li Xin had robbed the Jin merchants of their goods, he was amazed at the cruelty of this person's methods, and at the same time waited to see his jokes, how could those Jin merchants give up if they lost their goods? However, when he learned that Li Xin had established such an organization as the Military Management Materials Disposal Committee, he kept his mouth shut. "Is the head surnamed Li broken? The surname Zeng has always been against him, and he made such a play, isn't he conceited? ”

Gu Tong now knows that his general trend is gone, although he hates Li Xin, he also has to convince others, he underestimated him, and overestimated himself, and he is not wronged if he loses.

"Daliang, Daliang, give over the right to dispose of a large number of goods to others, do you think Li Xin is really confused? Confused! ”

Li Daliang didn't understand what he meant, obviously Li Xin had done something conceited. Gu Tong saw that he was puzzled, if he had been in the past, he would have disdained to explain to him, but now that he has nothing to do, talking has become the only entertainment.

"How can such a large sum of money be swallowed by one person, then Zeng Dare, who is also a person with a background, is putting a talisman on himself by pulling him in and sharing the spoils together! Besides, now that Li Xin has the military power in the town guards, how to deal with it is not a matter of his words? What a committee, just a fig leaf! ”

Gu Tong let out two heavy sneers in his nose.

Zeng dared not expect that Li Xin would be so generous to give him the power to dispose of military supplies, so he could justifiably do some work from it to stop Li Xin's more and more crazy behavior, plundering merchants' goods and devouring them violently, which was one of the reasons why he agreed to join the committee.

At the same time, on the day of the establishment of the Military Management Materials Committee, he immediately appointed a secretary office to inspect all the goods one by one, register them, and then put them into storage. Speaking of which, he once dared to fight, but he was a natural good hand at counting materials.

With the progress of statistical work, Zeng Dare became more and more bottomless in his heart, the energy of these Shanxi businessmen is really not small, grain, salt are counted in thousands of stones, pig iron, leather, beef tendon is countless.

Needless to say, grain and salt are the necessities of human life, but the pig iron, skin, and tendons that follow are all raw materials used in the production of weapons, and these raw materials are transported out of the border walls and sold for self-evident purposes. The Tartars ate the grain transported to them by the Ming Dynasty, took the weapons made of the raw materials they imported, destroyed the customs and entered the Kou, and went to the land of the Ming Dynasty to burn and loot.

No wonder Li Xin said that those Jin merchants were all traitors and sinners of the Ming Dynasty, and now it seems that this statement is true. Thinking of this, what about the officials who took the silver behind their backs to protect the Jin merchants? Didn't their behavior shield and connive at the Jin merchants to dig up the foundation of the Ming Dynasty little by little?

For two days in a row, the material checkpoints along the river continued to bring all kinds of goods and goods to the acropolis. The goods were piled up in the city like a hill, and the soap officials who dared to take the book office to work day and night were only counted five or six out of ten. The huge amount is jaw-dropping, including Zeng Dare, no one thought that one day they would be able to check the goods with their own hands.

Some people even murmured and sighed, "This time, our Zhenwei has made a fortune, even if it is used for ten years and eight years, it may not be able to be used up!" ”

"Who said no, it's really fun to follow Mr. Li......"

Zeng dared to be pessimistic about this, and he immediately sent his henchmen to Datong Mansion to inquire about the news, trying to get in touch with those behind-the-scenes financiers before they took violent revenge.

Now that Li Xin's prestige in the acropolis of this town is in full swing, of course, there are many eyes and ears, and this little action naturally can't escape Li Xin's eyes. However, he just laughed and ignored it.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the first wave of strange horses finally arrived outside the Acropolis, and one of the leading young men claimed to be the Shaodong of the Fan family, and came to negotiate the seizure of his belongings. Immediately afterwards, the stewards of each family and Shaodong arrived one after another with people.

Until the evening, the Jin merchants sent six people to negotiate.

The monk Jiexiu, who once went to Datong Mansion in person, couldn't help but scold when he saw this scene: "These donkeys are all cheap skins, toasting and not eating and punishing wine, the donor invited them to come, but they didn't come, and now they give them some color, and they come obediently uninvited!" ”

In Li Xin's study, Jiexiu scolded and scolded several businessmen one by one, who was rude, who was arrogant, and who was polite...... In the end, it all came together in one sentence.

"How is the donor going to deal with them?"
