"Okay, that's it for now. The two of you will immediately go to the prefect's yamen, cooperate with the prefect Li, and pass on the news that our general military palace is ready to redeem the wasteland with silver, and you must let every common person and homeless person in Datong Mansion know. ”

"Only in this way will the people and hearts of the entire Datong Mansion stand on our side."

Twenty miles outside Datong City, the Wang family pot, as the lord of a castle, is walking back and forth in the main hall with an anxious face. And from time to time he raised his head and looked at the door of the main hall to see if there was anyone who had delivered the news.

Under his great anticipation, the old figure of the butler finally appeared at the door of the main hall.

Wang Yuanwai, who was already a little impatient, asked the housekeeper anxiously as if he had seen a savior.

"Steward Wang, is there any news from the eldest young master and the second young master?"

Under the eager gaze of Wang Yuanwai, the butler hurriedly replied: "Yes, master...... The two young masters have just sent back the news from the capital, they have arrived in the capital, please rest assured. In addition, all the silver we transported to the capital and the 200,000 taels of silver that the lords of the capital promised to compensate us were also in the hands of the two sons. ”

"Good ......" Hearing this, Wang Yuanwai's nervous heart suddenly relaxed.

It turned out that the reason why this king dared not give the general army a face and destroy Tuntian. It's not that Wang Yuanwai himself is hot-headed, nor is it that he thinks that with these evidence in his hands, he can make himself invincible.

Under such circumstances, a very important reason why he dared to do this at the risk of ruining his family is. Wang Yuanwai himself was also acting on orders.

For the testimony of this rookie who has just risen in the imperial court. Since the entry into customs. It has attracted the attention of all forces in the DPRK and China.

Therefore, what Wei Zheng did after entering Datong Mansion did not hide from the eyes of these forces.

Originally, they still thought that Zhang Wu, the deputy general of Tongguò Datong Mansion, and Li Wenxuan, the prefect, would contain and weaken the strength of Wei Zheng step by step, so as to reach the point of weakening the strength of Jinyi Wei.

Have you ever thought that Zhang Wu and Li Wenxuan were so unbearable......

Wei Zheng had just entered Datong Mansion for less than a month, and Zhang Wu, who planned to divide the military power of Wei Zheng, not only did not achieve his goal. Instead, he became Wei Zheng's confidant, allowing Wei Zheng to win all the military power of Datong Mansion in a very short period of time.

As for Li Wenxuan, who was born in a literati, he disappointed the ministers of the DPRK and China even more.

Not only did he not suppress Wei Zheng with money and food, but he was crushed to death by Wei Zheng. Let Wei Zheng become a well-deserved emperor of Datong Mansion.

Once this situation cannot be changed, it is conceivable how powerful the Wei Zheng and Haw Par Army, which have the support of the entire Datong Mansion, will develop.

This situation is absolutely not what the forces of the DPRK and China want to see.

As a result, Tong Guò destroyed the tuntian, causing the 100,000 displaced people in Datong Province to starve again. Forcing Datong Mansion into chaos again, thus striking at Wei Zheng's influence in Datong Province. The huge plan to destroy Wei Zheng's good impression in Chongzhen's heart slowly unfolded in Datong Mansion.

And the king in front of him is the pioneer of the whole plan.

In order to compensate him, the ministers of the imperial court not only promised to solve an official problem for his two sons, but also promised to give a one-time compensation of 200,000 taels of silver to the two sons.

In order to ensure the safety of the two sons, before the implementation of the whole plan, Wang Yuanwai packed all the money and belongings in the family and sent them to the capital with the two sons, asking several adults in the capital to protect them.

As a result, the scene just appeared in Wang's pot.

After the only problem in his heart was solved, Wang Yuanwai had one last thing left, staying in the Wang's pot and waiting for the reaction of the General Military Mansion and the prefect's yamen. Let's see what kind of ending I, a pioneer, will end up with.

Just when Wang Yuanwai frowned and thought about his ending, the subordinate who went to the prefect's yamen to deliver the letter came back.

Although he didn't get a specific answer, from the dangerous face of the subordinate, Wang Yuanwai could be sure that what the subordinate brought back from the prefect's yamen must be good news.

So, before the next person could speak, Wang Yuanwai's face already showed a surprised expression for the rest of his life.

Seeing the changing face of Wang Yuanwai, the subordinate was not easy to slacken, and quickly replied: "Master, the prefect asked the little one to bring you a word...... For what happened today, the commander-in-chief has decided not to pursue it. As for the specific reason, it won't be long before you know, sir. ”

"The prefect asked the little one to tell the master, so that the master could be prepared. The next move of the General Soldier Mansion will definitely surprise everyone in Datong Mansion, the Lord has already wanted to destroy the plan of the Lord of the General Soldier Tuntian, and it may not be possible to achieve it......"

"Huh?" Wang Yuanwai's facial expression, which had just relaxed, became nervous again.

After a short period of contemplation, he ordered to the butler beside him: "Lao Wang, you immediately take five thousand taels of silver to the prefect's yamen, and thank Master Li for me." In addition, if there is any news from Lord Li, it must be sent back as soon as possible. ”

"The destruction of Tuntian is something that all the adults in the capital want us to do, and if it can't be completed, the two sons who have just arrived in Beijing will not be safe either. Therefore, we must destroy the tuntian of the general army and listen to the arrangements of the lords in the capital. ”

After the sky was completely dark, the old butler, who had been running for several hours, dragged his tired body again and appeared in front of Wang Yuanwai.

Seeing the complicated facial expression of the old housekeeper, Wang Yuanwai hurriedly asked, "Butler, is there already news......?"

The butler nodded and replied, "Yes, sir......"

"The prefect told me that the General Military Office had decided to take the silver and buy all the abandoned land from all the gentry and landlords in Datong. And the bid is very high, and every mu of abandoned land can be exchanged for five cents of silver at the General Military Mansion......"

"The General Military Mansion paid money to buy land from us, the gentry and landlords, you heard it right......" Wang Yuanwai asked rhetorically with a look of shock and disbelief on his face.

You must know that in this era of imperial power, the entire Ming Dynasty is the emperor's and the imperial court's, not to mention the land that has been completely deserted. In Wang Yuanwai's impression, he has lived for so long, and he has never seen the court take things from the hands of the common people and have to pay silver. Therefore, this had to shock Wang Yuanwai, who encountered this kind of thing for the first time.

The butler standing in front of the king was also full of shock.

However, under Wang Yuanwai's questioning, he quickly put away the shock in his heart, and affirmed loudly: "Master, this is what the prefect said himself, and there is absolutely no problem." The prefect also said that by tomorrow at the latest, the prefect's yamen will send a message to the counties: asking the county orders to cooperate with the action of the general military office......"

After getting the housekeeper's affirmation, another question surfaced in Wang Yuanwai's mind, and he continued to ask the housekeeper in front of him.

"Even if this is true, the General Military Mansion really intends to pay for the land. However, the bid of the General Military Office is too high...... Two acres of land for one tael of silver, if the General Military Mansion redeems all the abandoned land in Datong Mansion, it will not cost tens of millions of taels of silver...... Does the General Military Office have the financial resources? ”

The butler shook his head and replied, "Master, I don't know if the General Military Mansion has the financial resources." However, the prefect asked me to tell the lord that this ransom operation was launched at the insistence of the chief soldier. And the chief soldier is a person who says the same, since the chief soldier dares to do this, then the chief soldier has the silver in his hand......"

Hearing this, Wang Yuanwai fell directly into contemplation. Not only that, but the already dignified facial expression has become even more dignified at this moment.

In front of the housekeeper, he frowned and said to himself: "If this situation is true, it will be really difficult for the adults in the capital to destroy the plan of Tuntian. ”

"Two acres of land and one tael of silver, this price alone is enough to impress more than half of the official gentry and landlords in Datong Mansion. For most of the gentry and landlords, these lands were acquired by everyone at no cost. Rather than leaving all this land wasted there, it would be better to exchange it for a large amount of silver. ”

"If it weren't for the orders of the adults in the capital, I would be a little moved in the face of this price."

"In addition, in addition to the tempting ransom of silver, there is also the mountain of the General Soldier's Mansion that oppresses them. Even in order to save face for the General Military Mansion, those gentry and landlords who want to continue to hold the land in their hands must weigh it. ”

"Therefore, we must make a decision as early as possible on this new method proposed by the General Military Office. Otherwise, the layout that you have worked so hard for will come to naught. Our efforts will also be defeated by this. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Yuanwai, who had a solemn face, had already made a decision in his heart. Commanded loudly to the butler.

"You call the best family members in the house at once, and I will ask them to send a letter to the capital. In addition, in order to hurry up, give them the best fast horses in the family. We must deliver these letters to you in the shortest possible time. ”

"In addition, you prepare a few more greeting posts for me, starting tomorrow, I will take the secret letters given to me by the adults in the capital, and go to visit the gentry who can rank up in Datong Mansion one by one, and find a way to unite them and resist this redemption plan of the General Military Mansion together, otherwise, we really have no chance."

"Of course, you can't relax here, if you have anything to say from the adults in the capital, you must tell me as soon as possible. Because this news is related to the net worth and life of our entire Wang family, we must pay attention to it. ”

"Yes, sir......" The butler quickly withdrew from the main hall with a solemn face, leaving the king with a pensive face. (To be continued......)
