Chapter 134: Group blackmail
Xiong Tingbi's gaze swept back and forth from Zhang Ke and Hong Fuyi's master and apprentice, the last time he was disgraced by this pair of masters and apprentices, but they came again!
"Humph! Lord Hong, the rebels are sinners of the imperial court, and this official will never give them a grain of grain for the sake of the face of the imperial court, and all the yamen in Liaoyang are like this. If you want to find food, figure it out for yourself! ”
After a few words, no one below dared to refute. Hong Shi was angry and blew up his lungs, even if he wanted to target the soldiers who were making trouble, he was only a few leaders, and the rest were still soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, can he say that he didn't care, and was there any overall situation?
Hong Fu wanted to argue, but Zhang Ke quietly gave the teacher a look.
"Master Jinglu, you don't have to worry about the food and salary."
"Okay, ambitious!" Xiong Tingbi pursed his lips and sneered: "Within three days, you'd better solve the problem of the chaotic soldiers, otherwise this official will definitely join you to the imperial court!" ”
Xiong Tingbi turned around and got on the horse, leaving with Wenwu and Wu, leaving only Zhang Ke, Hong Fuyi and Huang Ziqiao.
"Hmph, when I was in Beijing, I heard that Xiong Tingbi was narrow-minded and self-serving, and now when I see it, it is really true. Thousands of soldiers, loyal to the court or the majority, according to him, do you have to force these people to rebel? ”
Zhang Ke sighed secretly, this Lord Xiong was also mixed in later generations, and when he served as the Liaodong Economic Strategy for the second time, he had a lot of fun fighting with Wang Huazhen. After the fiasco of Guangning, Xiong Tingbi did not seize the opportunity to take advantage of the arrival of the old slave to keep Guangning and Yizhou, but ordered to withdraw to Guannai.
Sitting back and watching the loss of land outside the customs as a means of attacking political opponents. Thousands of miles of territory can be abandoned by millions of people, let alone a few thousand soldiers! It's a big deal to make trouble again, just put the responsibility on Hong Fuyi, which is just in line with Xiong Tingbi's style!
"Brother Guoliang, the top priority is to discuss how to get food!"
"Brother Yongzhen is right. I'm also trying to ask Hon-sama. ”
The three of them immediately returned to Hong Fu's mansion, and his subordinates brought warm water to wash, Zhang Ke moved quickly, and it was over in less than two minutes.
He hurriedly called the servant and gave a few orders, and soon someone brought a small jar of propolis. After Hong Shiki was beaten, he never had time to take the medicine, which attracted many people's side eyes. Zhang Ke couldn't help but feel distressed when he looked at it.
"Teacher, propolis is good for swelling and detoxification, I wiped it today. Tomorrow it's almost ......"
"Hmm!" Hong Shiki raised his forehead slightly, the size of the egg was red and swollen and tall, just like the birthday star in the temple. Zhang Ke carefully applied layer after layer.
"Alright, Yongzhen, don't be busy, let's discuss the matter in front of us! Xiong Tingbi does what he says, we don't want to get money and food from the imperial court! ”
Huang Ziqiao frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Hong, eat food and be a soldier." Unalterable principle. Xiong Jingluo's actions are really not like the commander of the army, I must refer to him. ”
Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "Brother Guoliang, it's your business whether to participate or not." However, people are iron and steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. Within two or three days, there was no food or salary, and the barracks had to be chaotic. ”
"What can I do then?" Huang Ziqiao's eyes widened. said: "If you don't ask the court, then you can only buy and borrow, but do we have silver?" ”
Hung leaned back in his chair. When he heard the silver, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said with a smile: "Yongzhen, don't you have such a big piece of dog's head gold, can you exchange it for a lot of silver?" ”
"What doghead gold, why don't I know?"
Huang Ziqiao's eyes widened, and Zhang Ke had no choice but to wave his hand and let the soldiers carry the box in again, and the huge dog's head gold was placed in front of him.
Hong Shiki just glanced at it, and this time he really stared at this piece of dog's head gold face to face, and couldn't help but admire the magic of creation.
The first dog's head gold is so big that it is simply unheard of, and the dog's head gold faintly looks like two closely connected steep peaks, with strange rocks prominent, majestic and magnificent. Between the two peaks, there are still some white objects on the rocks, in fact, this is the silver ore associated with the dog's head gold, gathered together, it is actually shaped like a tiger, is climbing up the mountain.
"Wonderful, wonderful, simply wonderful!"
Huang Ziqiao's eyes turned into little stars, and he smiled stupidly: "Creation is magical, nothing more than this!" I can take a look, and I have no regrets in this life! ”
"Okay, Brother Guoliang, wipe your saliva, isn't it just a piece of gold, the gentleman is righteous, and the villain is profitable. Have you forgotten the teachings of the saints? ”
"Of course I didn't forget!" Huang Ziqiao suddenly stood up and said like crazy: "Brother Yongzhen, this is not a piece of gold, this is a God-given treasure, it is auspicious!" ”
Hong Shi circled several times, looked at it carefully, and said: "That's right, it is indeed a great auspicious rui!" Yongzhen, it's really a waste to exchange such a treasure for silver, I think it's best to give it to the court, maybe the saint will be promoted to the official fortune as soon as he is happy! ”
Send gold to the emperor, and then be promoted! It sounds like a bribe!
"Teacher, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?"
"Nothing wrong!" Huang Ziqiao patted Zhang Ke's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Yongzhen, if you can trust me, I will write a gold offering overnight to ensure that the saint will be happy!" ”
"Forget it!"
Zhang Ke waved his hand violently, his head shaking like a rattle. It may be useful for others to send dog head gold, but giving it yourself can only be the icing on the cake, and the real key is your own strategy. The establishment of the Royal Bank and the transport of gold from Japan made it unshakable in Wanli's heart.
Huang Ziqiao didn't know Zhang Ke's calculations, and he was still unwilling to be Zhang Ke's minister.
Stretched out two thumbs and exclaimed: "Brother Yongzhen, you really have style and taste!" I appreciate you! ”
Zhang Ke was a little ashamed, and hurriedly said: "Teacher, Brother Guoliang, I didn't think about it so much. I'm afraid that the news of the dog's head gold will become known to the world, and countless people will be attracted to go to Daqing Fort to dig for gold. When the time comes, everyone thinks about money, does not farm, and does not become a soldier, and immediately it will be chaotic. I was restless with such a baby in my hand, so I thought about sending it to the teacher. ”
After listening to Zhang Ke's words, Hong Fuyi and Huang Ziqiao valued him a little more. In the face of rare treasures, being able to stay calm and bold is simply rare in the world.
What is even more rare is that Zhang Ke can think of the people under his rule, and he can't bear to destroy the peace of Daqing Fort, and ask himself, if he puts it on himself, he may not be able to be so calm.
Hong Shiki nodded with satisfaction: "Yongzhen." What you think about is that this piece of dog's head gold is indeed a treasure, but it is also a trouble. Human nature is greedy, and it is bound to cause disturbances, blessings and misfortunes. It's better to sell the dog's head gold and exchange it for silver! ”
Sell?
Huang Ziqiao was suddenly surprised and said, "Who are you selling it to?" This is a priceless thing, there are no hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, don't even want to look at it, just ask Liaodong, who can afford this baby! ”
Several people looked at each other. All of them were full of gloom.
"Hahahaha, what kind of baby, let our family take a look?"
Zhang Ke hurriedly looked out, only to see a middle-aged man with an elegant bearing coming from outside, with two relatives behind him. After the family members of the Hong Mansion saw him, they all bowed down in a proper manner.
"It's Gonggong Hong who is here!"
The person who came was the mine eunuch Hong Qingquan, who walked in with a smile on his face. A pair of eyes stared at Zhang Ke first, and said with a smile: "Yongzhen." In the end, it is the master and apprentice, and we have long forgotten about our family, right? ”
"What can, how can it!" Zhang Ke hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Hong, isn't the kid in trouble!" ”
"Hehehe. How much trouble can it be, and can we help with anything? ”
No matter how many people kowtowed, this big eunuch actually opened his mouth directly to help Zhang Ke, what a face. What a cap!
How many secrets does Zhang Ke have in this kid? Huang Ziqiao endured the horror and secretly observed.
"Father-in-law Hong, if you want to help, you will definitely be able to help. The kid has a hot potato in his hand. ”
Zhang Ke took Hong Qingquan to the hall, and Hong Qingquan fell on the dog's head gold at a glance. Without saying a word, he took a few steps to the front of the box and looked carefully at it!
After a long time, Hong Qingquan raised his head and looked up to the sky and sighed: "It is really a strange thing in heaven and earth, the treasure of the world!" ”
Hong Qingquan stood up suddenly, and said with a smile: "I just heard a report from my sons, saying that someone took a dog's head gold to suppress a group of rebellious soldiers, who should our family have this courage!" Hurried over, I didn't expect you kid again. How did all the good things in the world happen to you? ”
Hong Qingquan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, he remembered that it was this kid who took out a piece of white wolf skin, not to mention that he could hunt good things. The Liaodong Mine supervises the gold mines in Liaodong, and the largest doghead gold has ever seen is not as big as an egg. This kid suddenly brought a basin-sized piece of water, and let people not live!
As soon as Zhang Ke saw Hong Qingquan coming, he suddenly rolled his eyes, and suddenly came up with an idea.
"Father-in-law Hong, the kid brought the dog's head gold just to ask for your help and dedicate it to the saint."
"Well, it's a bit of a conscience!"
"But ......"
Hong Qingquan suddenly raised his brows and said, "What is the hesitation!" Heaven and earth treasures, virtuous people live in it, such an earth-shattering dog's head gold is not dedicated to the master, long live the master, who has the blessing to suffer? ”
"Hey, hey, father-in-law, the kid doesn't dare to say that he won't sacrifice it to the saint, it's just that the kid has no interest, and he made a wish in front of the rebels, and he wants to exchange the dog's head gold for food, and thousands of mouths are waiting! Father-in-law, you can make it convenient......"
Zhang Ke said, stretched out his hand, and asked for money directly.
Huang Ziqiao was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall! I was impatient to live, and I dared to ask the eunuch for money, there is no such bold person in the world!
Hong Qingquan couldn't help but roll his eyelids: "Zhang Ke, you kid is bold, aren't you?" Something dedicated to the palace, you also want money? If you have the ability, ask the master to go! ”
Zhang Ke was not to be outdone, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, the kid asked for money to appease the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't put it in his pocket, and it was bright and bright!" ”
"You'll be left with the light! Although our family is a mine supervisor, it is a passing god of wealth, how can our family have the money to buy such an expensive thing! ”
Zhang Ke suddenly smiled, and said in a low voice in Hong Qingquan's ear: "Father-in-law, if you don't want to pay, see if there are any others who can help with the money?" ”
Hong Qingquan's eyes suddenly lit up, and appeasing the army's heart is also a big deal, after all, he is also a eunuch in the army, and it is best to have the best of both worlds.
"Yongzhen, the only thing left in Liaoyang that can afford the silver is Jin Wanguan!" (To be continued!)
