The expressions of Zhao Jin and the others were okay, Ruhui on the side and Zhou Xuezhi, who had just come back, both changed their faces, they had been in charge of the manor and business for a long time, so they could naturally understand what kind of amount these were, Wang Zhaojing let out a long breath, and said after a moment of silence: "Big brother, this year's Tian Fu quota was originally only three million 1 million taels, and after adding this liao salary, it will cost more than five million taels more." ”

Everyone in the room understood this number, everyone was dumbfounded, Zhao Jin shook his head, stopped talking a few more times, and finally said: "If you count the benefits that the people below want, there should always be thousands of taels, but I'm afraid it's still more than that." ”

"It's no wonder that now when the weather is cold and freezing, there are more people and refugees running to our Xuzhou, and they would rather freeze to death than stay in the local area and starve to death, and I don't know how miserable it is in the second year," Ruhui muttered.

Everyone was still speechless, and it was so quiet for a while, but Ji Xiang coughed a few times there, Zhao Jin looked over and knew that Ji Xiang had something to say, he nodded, Ji Xiang took a step forward, looked at everyone and said: "Big brother, little brother is going to be reckless again, the court collects such heavy taxes, the people will definitely not be able to stand it, there will definitely be another chaos of displaced people like that back then, this must be our opportunity, big brother, do we have to make this preparation?" ”

These words are still vague and reckless, but no one reprimands him, everyone is silent for a while and then looks at Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin is also silent, just quiet for a while, Zhao Jin said: "Don't worry, let's wait, it's bitter everywhere right now, but I haven't really heard many people complain, which means that I can bear it, and then I can wait until it's really messed up, it's still the old saying, let's not be in a hurry, let's wait a day to grow stronger, and the grasp will be a little bigger." ”

Everyone was nodding, and Zhou Xuezhi had a look of mixed feelings.

Liao salary for the first time, the people and the people can still grit their teeth to endure, even if the process of this expropriation is indispensable to the addition and exploitation of officials and servants, everyone has endured for so many years, this time it is not impossible to pass, the big deal is that it is a catastrophe, but the second levy in December is unbearable, this time is close to the New Year, after the New Year, the first month of February is the time of green and yellow, now the materials in hand, not for the New Year or for the next year to tide over the difficulties, at this time and then scrape away, everyone is really unbearable, If you want to resist, you can't fight against the official if you are weak, if you don't resist, everything in your home will be looted, and you can only flee if you don't want to starve to death.

It's just that the first year of the Liaoyu levy, many people still have fantasies in their hearts, and they feel that there may be a turnaround after enduring this year, and some people don't know where to flee to, in addition to the pardon of several prefectures and counties in the north and south, all other places are implementing the Liaoyu, all of them are searching the mountains and inspecting the sea like scraping the ground, where to escape and there is a way to live, even if they know that Xuzhou does not collect Liaoyu, but everything has been scraped away, this day is cold, and before they get to the place, they will freeze and starve to death on the way

So at the end of the year, there were a lot of people who fled to Xuzhou, but it was not to the point where they couldn't bear it, Zhao Jin allocated food, and organized the refugees who fled into the team of dredging and digging ditches.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Lei Cai returned to Xuzhou again, he did not come back at this time for the New Year, the situation of the Lei family is similar to Liu Yong's family, his parents and relatives have long died or separated, and he is left alone.

"Feng Qi wanted to buy the silver several times, but the younger brother stopped him, but he was afraid that if there was any mistake or omission, it would be all over, so he just let him spend money to make friends with others, this Feng Qi is usually very popular, and many people have leaned over after having the silver, if the eldest brother feels that it is inappropriate at this time, the younger brother will change it when he goes back."

"Since you're outside, it's not wrong for you to make decisions about this, and it's safe." Zhao Jin replied very directly.

"Big brother, there is still not much news that can be determined now, and it is too scattered, and I don't know if these have anything to do with us, the first is that Yangzhou salt merchants continue to send silver to Ma Chonghao, and the amount is not small, Nanjing Jinyiwei several thousand households have been arrested and escorted to the errand, the second is that Ma Chonghao's family is completely gone, this Ma Chonghao came in the first year, received gifts for the New Year, and all those who did not give it to his family were all cleaned up, and the head of Nanjing Jinyiwei ate this lesson in the future丨 The New Year's Festival no longer dared to slack off, In the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the Ma family was no longer in Nanjing, and the leaders of Jinyiwei thought that even if they went back to Beijing, it would not be troublesome to send it over, it was nothing more than a letter from someone to carry it, but the Ma family was no longer in Beijing. Lei Cai said very slowly, he has now begun to learn to read, but the progress is not fast, so it is all based on memory, naturally it will not be too fast

However, Zhao Jin naturally understood the meaning of his words, and frowned when he heard it: "Ma Chonghao is ready, and he doesn't even have any worries?" ”

Lei Cai nodded, Zhao Jin is not a good man and a woman, Ma Chonghao is forcing each other step by step, the two sides are really torn faces, and it is not impossible to blackmail their families, Liu Yong and Lei Cai have also been preparing for this, Ma Chonghao's family has disappeared some time ago, and I thought that I would come back after a while, but now it is still missing as the New Year is approaching, which means that Ma Chonghao has already made arrangements.

"This is still against us, close to the boundary of Nanjing, except that we can't think of any characters worthy of Ma Chonghao." Zhao Jin said with a sneer

Lei Cai also laughed twice, and continued: "The two of Xuzhou General and Deputy Chief Soldier of Wolf Mountain must have met with Ma Chonghao, and what has been reached, now Ma Chonghao often talks secretly with people from Jiangbei, in addition to this, and then he eats wine and performs martial arts with the leaders of those bigwigs in Nanjing, and they are very enthusiastic.

Zhao Jin groaned again, nodded and said: "Zhou Baolu now has a shop in Qingjiangpu, and there are people here in Xuzhou who pass there regularly, maybe it is to pass the message, it has stopped for half a month, and when the time comes, I will tie people up and ask." ”

"Big brother, look at the current situation, does this Ma Chonghao want to gather armies from all walks of life to suppress our Zhao Ziying?" Although there were only two people in the room, speaking of this, Lei Cai subconsciously lowered his voice.

Zhao Jin shook his head and said in a sullen voice: "The army will suppress, if you want to move us, the two governors of Fengyang and Yingtian can't be the masters, so they have to discuss with the imperial court, and then issue an order to transfer troops, what can he Ma Chonghao, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, do, and he moves like this, the civil officials will avoid it, so as not to have anything to do with the factory guards. ”

Lei Cai breathed a sigh of relief, obviously seeing that the speculation of this army would suppress him gave him a lot of pressure, Lei Cai hesitated and asked: "The junior brother and Lao Li have discussed, if it is really not possible, they will attack Ma Chonghao in Nanjing City, and the internal guard will arrange for a few old brothers to go over, so I don't believe that this troublesome bastard has three heads and six arms."

Zhao Jin's expression became stern, and he asked solemnly, "Have you ever thought about how sure you are in doing this?" ”

"Three points, big brother, three points is worth trying, once this person dies, everything will be gone" Lei Cai gritted his teeth and said.

Zhao Jin stretched out his hand and patted Lei Cai on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "His Ma Chonghao's life is not as valuable as yours, why should I let you take such a big risk for these three points." ”

"Big brother, little brother's life"

"I'm lucky, you and Xiao Yong are serious and careful in their work, now you are in charge of a big mess, and there will be a bigger situation for you to take care of in the future, you go to fight and kill? That's a waste," Zhao Jin said with a smile.

Lei Cai lowered his head, and when he looked up, he said: "Big brother, you can't leave that Ma Chonghao alone, you can't let him plan there, and we will be caught off guard when the time comes."

"We won't be caught off guard, we are already on guard, but we can't take the initiative, if we do it in Nanjing, to a real Jinyi guard commander to do something, it will be a blatant rebellion, at that time, but it will really be a big army will be suppressed, and now we are braking quietly, all in order to prevent such a situation." Zhao Jin's tone was very sullen.

It is indeed very depressing, Zhao Ziying from its inception to the present, the way to deal with the enemy is very simple, that is, to kill it, or to push it over and crush it openly, or to do it secretly, even if they hold each other, it is also Zhao Ziying with his strong majesty to force the other party back, but now he can only do something "static braking", and can only wait for the other party's action to react.

Everyone also knows that it is not okay to do this, it is too easy to provoke too much reaction to kill the high-ranking officials of Jinyi Wei who were born in Beijing on the battlefield where their strength is weak, after all, Zhao Ziying has been putting self-improvement first until now, and has not done anything with great fanfare.

Hearing Zhao Jin's words, Lei Cai was silent there for a while, and when Zhao Jin thought he was going to leave, Lei Cai lowered his voice and said: "Big brother, the little brother was ignorant when he was a child, and when he grew up, he ignored the dog for a few years

"My own brother, what to do if you say these useless things, once or twice is enough" Zhao Jin didn't expect to say this, and replied with a frown.

"Big brother, the little brother doesn't want to show any loyalty, the little brother's life is the big brother's, what the little brother wants to say is that although many people here in Xuzhou know the little brother, they can see it, and there are not many people who have dealt with it, and not many people outside have seen it." Lei Cai's voice was already normal, and he spoke very slowly.

Zhao Jin's face darkened, and he asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
