Chapter 119, Bingfa Xingcheng County
ββ¦β¦ My lord, we have really made a fortune and made a fortune. β
If it weren't for the encounter with Yi Ying's forced palace, Jiao Xuan wouldn't dare to imagine that he would have to enter and leave the Yamen of Yuzhou at will. But that's how unpredictable things are. Misfortune and fortune are relied on, blessing and misfortune are lurking, due to the stay in the command yamen some time ago, Jiao Xuan has now become a frequent visitor to the command yamen.
Looking at Jiao Xuan, who rushed into the door, Yu Rong frowned behind the case.
Even if Yu Rong knew that those military attachΓ©s were martial artists who would not knock on the door when they entered, he still inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and said, "What's wrong?" What makes you so happy. β
Jiao Xuan didn't notice the change in Yu Rong's eyebrows, because Jiao Xuan's mind had already been filled with excitement, and he rushed to the front of the case and said, "My lord, do you know how many things the last general got by confiscating the property of ten thousand households?" β
ββ¦β¦ How many things were got. β
There was a pause in his tone, and for the first time, Yu Rong's eyes flashed with interest.
With a wheezing, more like desperately suppressing the heart that was about to jump out of his chest, Jiao Xuan clenched his fists and said: "Lord Hui, the last general has collected a total of 800,000 taels of rice and 180,000 taels of silver from 10,000 large households in various industries in Yuzhou. β
"What do you say? 800,000 quintals of rice? This is not enough to catch up with Yuzhou's grain production for a year. β
Suddenly hearing the news, Yu Rong was so shocked that he got up from his chair.
Maybe Jiao Xuan only knew what he could do after getting 800,000 quintals of rice, but Yu Rong immediately thought of why Wan Dahu wanted to store so much grain. Since the grain production in Yuzhou is limited, and the fields of Wanda households in Yuzhou are also limited, this is definitely not the harvest accumulated by Wanda households in Yuzhou for one or two years, but the harvest that Wanda households slowly hid in three or five years.
Why do large households hide grain? Why do you want to store grain in Yuzhou, the answer is already coming out.
Jiao Xuan still didn't notice the change in Yu Rong's expression, and said with a flushed face as if holding his breath: "What the Lord said is exact, when I saw so much food hidden in the cave, the last general was also stunned. β
"Caves? Where is that grain cave? β
Yu Rong didn't pay attention to Jiao Xuan at all, reached out to the side of the case, and grabbed a scroll, "Brush!" In an instant, he ripped a huge map open on the table.
Unlike ancient times, maps of all kinds have always been military supplies. Not to mention that it is impossible to sell it publicly, and it is impossible for officials who have not even reached a certain status to have access to such a thing as a map.
Therefore, it is not the people who know the exact path, and many villages are also unknown to those parents and officials.
Seeing Yu Rong spread out the map, Jiao Xuan hurriedly walked up in two steps. Glancing at the map, he pointed to a place called Yingkou Pass and said, "My lord, this is the place where the grain cave of Wanda Hu is in this Yingkou Pass." At that time, the last general also felt that there was something wrong with the amount of grain stored in the granary of Wandahu, so he forced it out from the mouth of a granary manager. β
"This big family, it's really damned." After listening to Jiao Xuan's explanation, Yu Rong said with an indignant face.
Jiao Xuan also said: "That's it, why does this big family hide so much grain, does he want to hoard Juqi?" It is no wonder that grain prices in Yuzhou have skyrocketed year after year. β
"Hoarding? Hmph, it's good that he has such a good heart. Jiao Xuan, you ...... immediately, wait, let Ben think again. β
I don't know what I thought, Yu Rong's expression hesitated instantly.
Jiao Xuan was not in a hurry. Because Jiao Xuan knew that he couldn't speak at all in front of Yu Rong, Jiao Xuan was not a handsome person who could give Yu Rong ideas. Even if Jiao Xuan is also readable, literate, and understands military books, he can only obey the orders of his superiors.
After thinking for a while, Yu Rong suddenly raised his head and said, "Jiao Xuan, you will lead your battalion of soldiers and horses to Xingcheng County now, and meet the appointment of Nayi County." β
"What? What the? My lord, do you want your subordinates to rush to Xingcheng County with soldiers and horses? You're ......"
Suddenly hearing that Yu Rong was going to prosper the city and county by himself, Jiao Xuan's excitement was not only gone, but the cold sweat was even more "brush!" "Rush down. The two of them were obviously talking about how much grain they had looted from Wan Dahu just now, why did they turn around and talk to themselves again about their entanglement with Yi Ying, the magistrate of Xingcheng County?
Waving his hand, Yu Rong said: "Jiao Xuan, don't get me wrong, do you know why Wan Dahu wants to hide grain in Yingkou Pass?" β
"Isn't he here to hoard Juki?" Hearing Yu Rong mention Wan Dahu again, Jiao Xuan was a little confused. I don't know how this has something to do with Yu Rong wanting to send troops by himself.
Yu Rong snorted coldly and said, "Huh? Hoarding? These 800,000 loads of grain are enough for 10,000 soldiers and horses to eat for a month, do you think he is really for hoarding? β
"So what is he for? β¦β¦ Don't? Does he really want to rebel? β
Although he was momentarily confused, Jiao Xuan was quickly shocked.
Jiao Xuan didn't think that Wan Dahu would rebel, but he didn't know whether this should be said to be fake and true, or true and false. And after saying this, Jiao Xuan's head was still buzzing and said, "My lord, why do ten thousand big families want to rebel?" He is a rich family, he has no soldiers and no power, so he has some money and food, how can he ......"
"How do you know he has no soldiers and no power? Is the right bought with money not a right? A soldier bought with money is not a soldier? β
"Why don't you want to think about it? Why was Lin Fang shot by Yizhi County? It's not because he received the silver of Wandahu and handed over his soldiers to Wandahu's command. β
"Adults want to ......"
"You bring the soldiers and horses to Xingcheng County first, but don't do anything, first see the reactions of all parties, and also see the reactions of Wan Dahu and Nayi Zhi County."
"Bring the soldiers and horses to Xingcheng County? But that is easy to know the county? Although Jiao Xuan didn't dare to disobey Yu Rong's order, he thought of Yi Huan's ruthlessness, as well as Yi Huan's methods of forcing against Wan Dahu and shooting Lin Fang. To say that Jiao Xuan is not worried, it is really impossible.
Seeing that Jiao Xuan was still hesitating, Yu Rong patted Jiao Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, although Ben will not be suitable to show up in Xingcheng County, Ben will still let people follow you." β
"Thanks! Thank you. β
Knowing that there was no room for remorse, and knowing even more clearly that he had no reason and qualifications to convince Yu Rong, Jiao Xuan had no choice but to nod helplessly.
Looking at Jiao Xuan's back as he left, Yu Rong's face sank quickly, and he didn't look back: "Dandi, you go to Xingcheng County with Jiao Xuan to have a look, help Jiao Xuan if necessary, and at the same time ensure Jiao Xuan's safety." β
"My lord, do you really want to protect Jiao Xuan's safety?"
As Yu Rong's voice fell, a voice floated out of the side door behind the ya. Not only can I not hear men and women, but I can't see the figures appearing.
However, Yu Rong did not answer, but strode out. As for the house, there was no sound coming from again.
