Chapter 459: Capture the Pass (4)

Zheng Guobao played a good bamboo pole, and knocked out the silver of the army from these rich businessmen. After sending off the guests, Ren Yingying stretched out her finger and said, "Husband is a good means." These people are porcelain roosters on weekdays, and they spend money without blinking for their own family's affairs, and if it is for the affairs of the court, they can't have a son. You insisted on asking for money from them this time, and Yingying admired you more and more. ”

"So Yingying, this money is still not enough. The army is marching out, and it is not enough to have money, but also food. This food, it depends on our means to understand the dragon, invite him to come, and I will have a good chat with him. ”

Before Xie Feng was on Shaomu Mountain, he was also active and reported the cadres who exposed Zheng Guobao. Later, he actively repaired the relationship, sent money to atone for his sins, and touched up his joints, and Uncle Guo also promised not to blame the past. But after meeting, his face was not natural, but Zheng Guobao was very natural and asked him to sit down first. Then he asked, "Gang Master Xie is going to congratulate you this time." The three southwestern provinces have always listened to you and did not listen to the announcement, this time kill their personal heads, to ensure that these three provinces become your family's ticket warehouse, maybe in the future the beggar gang can really restore the old concept of the era of the Hong gang leader, and recreate glory, not necessarily. ”

Xie Feng wiped the cold sweat lightly and said respectfully: "Qin Cha is polite." How can the villain be virtuous? If you want to restore the old view of the beggar gang, you still can't do without the help of your old man, Uncle Guo, I will replace my beggar to help the ancestors and ancestors, thank you. I can't help it, who gave birth to two sons, they don't have any ability, they only know that they are losers, and they have nothing to do. Every day, he takes a group of Kleiden's classmates to mess around, and the villain lives a ...... Alas! ”

"Don't worry about the helper. The two young heroes are still young, and after a few years, they will know that they will share your worries. The information in the hands of our Jinyi Wei is not as detailed as the information you beggars help themselves, if you want us to take people, you have to come up with a list. ”

"List? Yes, yes. Xie Feng rummaged through one of his pockets and took out a stack of papers and handed it over. On this is the name and address of the beggar gang leaders, beggar representatives, and elders of the three southwestern provinces. And where their warehouses are located. It's all very clearly drawn. These people want to make a fortune in the country. They have stored a large amount of grain at home, waiting for a war to start and raise the price of grain. Uncle Guo will be able to hold the food in his hands when he does it at this time. Rations for the Great Army. Don't worry. ”

"Okay. Xie Shenlong, you can also be regarded as a meritorious service. It's not enough for the official to fight for you, you have this face. Isn't it a little too big? ”

"Uncle Guo's words are serious. Don't worry, attack the sea dragon hoard, what do you want my beggars to do, Xie Mou went to the soup and the fire, and then he didn't give up. ”

"Good! What I want is to solve the words of the helper. Don't worry, the court has officers and soldiers, what can you do with it? The left and right are just a little help for the officers and soldiers, and it's not a big deal. Compared to the territory of the three southwestern provinces, it is nothing. In addition, some people turn their backs on the court, eat inside and crawl outside, and when the official starts to take people, you beggars must also contribute to it. ”

"Uncle Guo, don't worry, the villain is ready, as soon as you give the order, we will do it immediately."

The west of Chengdu is the location of the first large grain store in the city, Tan Ji Grain Store. The big boss Tan Zengfu is not only the largest grain merchant in Sichuan, but also the famous Tan Bancheng in Chengdu. He has several thousand acres of fine paddy fields at home, and he has grain purchase contracts with several other companies, and he relies on the Chengdu government to push officials behind his back, and he colludes with the ambassador in charge of the warehouse to steal and sell official grain from the official warehouse, making a windfall. Everyone in the city knows that he is a famous Tan Yuan, Tan Bancheng, but not many people know that he is also the owner of the Sichuan branch of the beggar gang and the representative of the beggars, and he is also the eight-bag elder of the beggar gang.

Of course, from his clothes, he can no longer see the slightest appearance of dirty clothes. Even the elders of the Pure Clothes Sect may not be as particular as him. This is also normal, but those elders who were born in dirty clothes, it is precisely because they were poor at the beginning, so once they are developed, they desperately want to hide their dirty clothes background, clothing consumption, and deliberately luxurious, for fear of being looked down upon. However, the clean clothes school has a deep heritage, but its style is low-key and unassuming.

The three southwestern provinces are far away from the general altar, and they have always been independent kingdoms, and they do their own thing, and their relationship with the general altar is just to listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement. Nominally, he has the name of a beggar gang, but in fact, he doesn't follow the command of the gang leader very much. The road is blocked, the mountains are closed for thousands of miles, and it is not for a trivial matter, and the general rudder will go to the place to clean the portal.

This time, Xie Feng led a large number of beggars to enter Sichuan, which made everyone in the local elders endanger, especially the former Banzhou engaged in a dozen local tyrants to divide the land, and heard that everyone in Banzhou has meat to eat and can also give wives. The beggars below collectively defected, and these elders had no one in their hands except for some hardcore core disciples, and they became clawless crabs, and their strength fell to the bottom. I am afraid that Xie Feng will suddenly make a move to grab everyone's territory and take away the power. Elders and group leaders from all walks of life in Sichuan all came to Elder Tan to ask for a charter.

Tan Zengshou was unhurried, ordered his subordinates to make tea, and watched the tea tumbling, which was extremely comfortable. "What's the hurry? How many waves have passed, and the small Xie Feng has scared us? I, Tan, am not a clay sculpture, at his mercy. If you want to move me, it depends on whether he has great ability. Don't forget, I also have people in the official face. The staff member of Zeng Junmen, Mr. Sance Ye Lushuang, is also a tea drinker. The two of us have been talking about tea together every day recently, and we have a good relationship. No matter how good he is, can he still be stronger than the governor of Sichuan? What does he have? It's just a dragon palm all the way, a set of dog-beating stick methods, what's the use? At this time, everyone is comparing who has the money in his hand, who has more money, and who speaks loudly. Let's do nothing now, wait for the war to start, the price of rice will skyrocket, and we will be able to make a lot of money. With money, what are you afraid of him doing? In a hurry, labor and capital quit the beggar gang, set up their own door, and set up their own mountains in the three southwestern provinces, what can he do to us? ”

"That's what Tan Lao said. But is this grain business stable or not? A group leader asked cautiously, "I heard from the brothers in the yamen, this time the imperial court is going to move seriously, and even the salt well has been sealed." It is said that he is afraid of being an enemy, so he must strictly investigate those who speculate and sell grain and resell salt. I heard that once it is discovered, it is according to the theory of collaborating with the enemy, and the head will be killed. ”

"Haha, really? It's good to be serious. When did the imperial court not say that it was serious, but what was the result? We still don't want to get rich with peace of mind, the more serious they are, the more benefits we have, and I still wish they were serious. Let my apprentices go and listen to the news for me, and whoever increases the price of food will report it to the government. After raiding their granaries, we said that we could take 30% of them, where to find such a good thing. The guys below, hold on to all the grain for me, and when the front is scorched, the military rations must be planned from the province, and the grain will have to be requisitioned and used as military rations. When there is no food in the market, we will start selling it again. If you want to sell as much as you want a catty, you can sell it for as much as a catty, and the imperial court does not engage in a grain monopoly, just to let us increase the price casually and make a fortune casually. If we don't do this, won't we live up to the court's good intentions? ”

The participants were either Tan Zengshou's downstream or his shareholders, and the grain business was all profitable. They all echoed his idea, and some people hesitated: "Boss Tan's idea is very good." But there is one section, if we do this at that time, the people will not be able to afford food, and they will make a civil uprising, how can it be good? Zeng Xingwu is a well-known ruthless person, not to mention Zheng Guobao's ability. If he is angry with us and others, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to explain. ”

"What does it have to do with us when there is a popular uprising? I hope that the more bankrupt the family, the better, and our subordinates will all be taken away as strong men by Yang Yinglong. If no one goes bankrupt, where do we go to find people if we want to recruit troops? Zeng Xingwu is a ruthless person, but so what? The money we use to sell grain will give him a break in the money village, and if he checks us, he checks himself, what else can he do with us? As for Uncle Guo, that's easy to deal with, find him a few beautiful girls, and there will be nothing left. ”

Seeing that he was confident, several elders praised him one after another: "Boss Tan is very knowledgeable and strategic. I admire you, you should be our helper, Xie Feng is something. ”

Tan Zengshou laughed, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." I can't do without the help of a few brothers, otherwise how could I be where I am today? But for the sake of our business, this battle can't let him fight too smoothly. If the imperial court punches and kicks Yang Yinglong to death, what kind of fortune will we make. We've got to ......."

He was about to say how to help Yang Yinglong and delay the battle, but a disciple came from outside, "Elder, the big thing is not good, there are a large number of Jinyi guards, and our courtyard is surrounded." (To be continued......)
