Next to Xuanwu Lake, there is another piece of real estate, there are hundreds of them. Usually no one comes, only some elderly people clean here.

On this day, the old man had just swept the fallen leaves in front of the door and wanted to return to the house. Suddenly, there was a rush of horses' hooves, followed by hundreds of soldiers and fans.

These people are fierce and vicious, each holding a bright sword in their hands, and they are full of murderous energy.

"This, this, what is this for!" When Lao Jia Ding saw this scene, he was so frightened that he sat directly on the ground.

"Old man, go open the door!"

"Yes!" The old man ran to the door with a crawl, and went to open the door with trembling hands. At this time, there were already fans who couldn't wait, two people held hands to act as ladders, and the third person stepped on their hands, and with the help of force, they jumped up the wall more than a foot high and climbed into the courtyard one after another.

"Don't move, be honest with me!"

At this time, Dai Ying led the people and rushed in, and they quickly controlled everyone and took care of all the people in the courtyard.

"Where is the food hidden, tell me quickly!"

Fanzi carried a knife and put it on the necks of several family members, so frightened that they were paralyzed.

"Adults, the little ones really don't know, we just watch the yard, clean up, and don't know anything else."

"I don't know anything, joke, you guys are in the yard every day, don't you even know what's in this piece?"

"That's right, say it quickly, or I'll kill you!"

"Hey, hey, I said, I said!" Lao Ding's face turned pale with fright, and he pointed to the backyard. "My lord, the master has put everything in the backyard."

"Search!"

The fan of the East Factory hurried to the backyard, which was even wider, the size of three or four acres of land, and there were not many buildings. There was only a scattered rockery, and a few rows of low houses, full of weeds, and it didn't look like a place to hide things at all.

"Old fellow, who are you fooling?"

"The villain didn't lie, the main family drove the car to the backyard every time. Then go out with the empty car, and the stuff must have been left here. It's just that when we carry it, we don't let us see it at all, how do we know! ”

Dai Ying had a gloomy face, walked a few steps, and suddenly he raised his foot suddenly. He stomped the ground hard, and there was an echo from below. The surrounding fans glanced at each other, and they immediately showed joy.

"It's still the ancestors who are smart, and leave the rest to the slaves!"

They immediately split up and searched everywhere, and finally someone found a mechanism on the rockery and knocked it open. Suddenly, a tunnel entrance that could accommodate four or five people side by side appeared in front of him.

There are also steps on the ground that lead straight to the bottom.

When Dai Ying saw it, she immediately rushed in with someone, and said that this factory man really did not avoid danger and rushed to the front line.

After entering the ground, the oil lamps on the walls were lit one after another, and the inside became exceptionally bright. At first glance, they were also stunned by the sight before them, this basement was huge like a palace, and it was full of grain. I don't know how much effort it will take to build such an underground granary.

Fanzi poked the rice bag with a knife, and immediately the japonica rice flowed out.

"Ancestor, if such grain is put on the market, it will cost at least ten taels of silver per load. I'm afraid there are as many as two or three hundred thousand taels here. ”

Dai Ying sneered: "If this is not the case, can these rats be so willing to build a nest with guns, take a closer look at our family, is there any food flowing out of the imperial court here." ”

"Yes!"

The fans searched carefully, removed a few bags, and finally revealed some brand new rice bags, all with the mark of the household.

When Dai Ying saw it, her face finally showed joy.

"Listen, take a good look here, let's go find Lord Zhang!"

At this time, Zhang Jinyan was in the cabinet, sitting on a mahogany circle chair, sipping tea proudly. Almost a quarter of an hour later, footsteps sounded outside, and it was Ma Shiying.

These days, Ma Shiying has aged very quickly, his face is full of wrinkles, and his red official uniform looks loose, and he slowly walked into Zhang Jinyan's duty room.

"Hahaha, Yuan Weng, why do you have time to come?"

"Master Zhang, you have become the second assistant, and the old man has not had time to congratulate you!"

"Yuan Weng is polite, some things may not be happy events, I don't think there is any need to congratulate."

Ma Shiying sat opposite Zhang Jinyan and said with a wry smile: "Lord Zhang, what you said is really reasonable. To put it bluntly, the cabinet is the life of a daughter-in-law, there is an emperor above, there are hundreds of officials below, there is chaos in the capital, there is a lot of noise outside, there are thousands of things, so embarrassing! ”

"If you want to say that it is difficult, who in the world is not embarrassed, if you want me to say, no matter how difficult it is, it is not as difficult as the brothers who fought in front, no matter how big the matter is, it is not as big as military supplies, and he hesitates in this kind of life-and-death matter, that is joking with the Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Jinyan said something ugly, how could he know that Ma Shiying was not annoyed, and on the contrary, he showed a relieved smile on his face.

"Master Zhang, what you said is right, a thousand mistakes, all the fault of my Ma Shiying, the old man is willing to resign and go, and this cabinet will be handed over to you in the future."

"No!" Zhang Jinyan waved his hand decisively.

Ma Shiying suddenly widened his eyes like copper bells, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble: "Lord Zhang, do you still want to kill them all, the old man is dignified, can't you give up?" ”

"Hahaha, Yuan Weng, what is lacking on the front line now is food and supplies, can you exchange money and food just for you to hang up your crown and leave? This officialdom is rotten, from top to bottom, no one is not greedy, no official is not greedy, big officials are greedy, and small officials are greedy. There are merchants outside who transport silver, and there are officials who wave their flags and shout, this is the cancer of the Ming Dynasty! This is true of the Donglin Party, and the bureaucrats of the world are like this. ”

Ma Shiying's face was full of disbelief, and he gritted his back molars and said, "Master Zhang, you are going against all the officials, aren't you afraid of being crushed?" ”

"Yuan Weng, you must now be able to give me three million loads of grain and five million taels of silver. The official immediately rolled back to Henan and returned to Jiguo Gong. ”

"You're a strong man!"

"Yuan Weng, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are waiting to be fed, there are still three or four months before the summer harvest, the Tartars may go south at any time, if there is no food, what will happen to the tens of millions of people in Henan? Without Henan, without an ** top, can you still be safe in half of the south of the Yangtze River? Feel your conscience and think about it, the official wants food, the household department and the military department all shook their heads, and they all checked the warehouse, and there were only 800,000 quintals of grain. As for the actual numbers, you know better than me. In short, Zhang can't let the soldiers and civilians in Henan starve to death! ”

"Then you're going to starve the officials to death?"

"Hmph, a bunch of court moths, dead to clean!"

When Ma Shiying heard this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, he originally wanted to resign in exchange for An **'s concessions, but now he finally understands that An **'s ambitions are so big, they are not just staring at power, but against the entire bureaucracy. We must smash the collusion of interests!

As a hundred officials, Ma Shiying couldn't stand it anymore, and he suddenly stood up: "Zhang Jinyan, you are also a scholar, don't you feel sorry for doing this kind of thing of forgetting your ancestors?" ”

"Forget your ancestors? The ancestors of China are the two emperors of Yan and Huang, according to what you do, the land of China will fall into the hands of the Tartars sooner or later. ”

Ma Shiying was so angry that he was trembling, gasping for breath, and finally calmed down, before he said gloomily: "Zhang Jinyan, we don't talk darkly, you are so dedicated to Gu Zhenhua, are you sure that he will have a time to soar into the sky?" But the old man wants to tell you that this world is still the world of the gentry, or the world of the Ming Dynasty. Gu Zhenhua's actions, although he temporarily had a strong army, were not a long-term solution after all. Just like Cao Cao back then, even though he was eloquent and strategic, he was the enemy of the world's corporal clans, and he failed to dominate the country. Gu Zhenhua has not yet developed the general trend, and he is full of offended people all over the world, this kind of person is at most Ran Min, Huang Chao and the like, it is really not worth working hard! ”

Zhang Jinyan listened for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Yuan Weng, you are drunk, how can you say it, the official can't understand a word." ”

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Dai Ying strode in.

"Master Zhang, we have found a place to hide food."

As soon as Dai Ying looked up, she happened to see Ma Shiying on the side, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Master Fu is also here, so it's just right, the 250,000 quintals of grain in the household department have inexplicably arrived in the merchant's warehouse, do you think it should be thoroughly investigated?" ”

"Check, you guys check!" Ma Shiying flicked his sleeves fiercely, turned around and left.

Zhang Jinyan looked at Ma Shiying's back and sneered: "Don't worry about him, Grandpa Dai, how are you looking?" ”

"Lord Zhang, we followed the opportunity of the grain merchant to deliver grain to the wharf, followed the vine and found a warehouse. These people are cunning enough, they put the warehouse on the edge of Xuanwu Lake, and the grain goes out directly along the Jinchuan Gate. This line is sparsely populated, and the secrecy is very good, if it weren't for some real effort, they wouldn't be found! ”

"The three holes of the cunning rabbit are not surprising at all, Father-in-law Dai, the top priority is to get more food."

At this time, Wu Kaijie also hurried over.

"Staff Officer Wu, how's the situation going?"

Wu Kaijie also laughed: "Lord Zhang, I have all pretended to be businessmen from the north, and I also deliberately sold a large number of ginseng furs, and also sold some jewelry from the palace. Sure enough, the grain merchants regarded me as a merchant working for the Manchus, and between talking to them, I was indeed doing business with the north. At present, there is still no price for 2o taels of grain in Beijing, and it is sold to Tartars, which is twice the price in Jiangnan. ”

"What a bunch of brutes, who can do anything for money!"

Wu Kaijie smiled and put a list in front of Zhang Jinyan, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, this is the list of grain merchants, according to the map, the grain in the hands of these people is at least two million quintals!" ”

Dai Ying suddenly smiled: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and do it!" ”
