Lu Jiu was reprimanded by Li Xin, and finally lost his temper and sat aside and stopped talking. The atmosphere in the tent of the Chinese army suddenly became tense, and everyone was also taken aback by Lu Jiu's rebellious words, and there were people in the DPRK and China who impeached the marquis of Zhenyu for rebellion, and if these words were heard by people with ulterior motives and spread out to make a big fuss, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, the generals who were able to sit in the tent of the Chinese army for a meeting were all veterans of the Three Guards Army, and it was impossible for anyone to go out and talk nonsense. Even so, he was still taken aback by Li Xin's outrage. Li Xin rarely got angry in the Three Guards, and the anger at this moment made everyone even more silent, and they didn't dare to let out the atmosphere.

After a while, Li Xin slowed down for a while before waving his hand, signaling that everyone could go out, and the meeting ended unhappily. The generals came out with their heads down, and Lu Jiu, Zhang Shishi, and Mi Yan were left behind.

"Alright... Zhang Fangyan wants to take advantage of the danger of others, let's ignore him, if anyone dares to mention rebellion in the future, don't blame the ruthless military law... Let's get down to business......"

Lu Jiu and Zhang Shi never had any big ideas, they were all pointed out by Li Xin, so they didn't speak, but listened quietly with their ears. Although Mi Yan didn't have an idea, he couldn't help but speak, "Just now, the amount of grain and grass in the army is less than half a month's worth left. Ignoring Zhang Fangyan's danger of taking advantage of others, we must always have an alternative strategy..."

At this time, Lu Jiu seemed to be in the spirit again, and he seemed to hear something different from Mi Yan's words: "How is it?" Do you mean that if you can't raise food, you will let my thirteenth brother be obediently transferred to Yangzhou for rotation? Let Gu Cheng's idiot be our general? ”

Mi Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, did not shy away from Lu Jiu's aggressive gaze, and said loudly: "Even if it is tuned, it is impossible to ......" Halfway through the words, Lu Jiu was about to have a seizure, but suddenly laughed, "You scholars have a lot of crooked worms in their stomachs, I don't fall for your plan, so I don't have to let the thirteenth brother fall for me... However, you have to make it clear, otherwise you still can't dodge my fists except for the Chinese military tent. With that, he raised his big fist and shook it twice in front of Mi Yan as if threatening.

"First of all, the upper and lower generals of the Three Guards Army were all brought out by the Marquis of Zhenyu. Secondly, our Third Guards Army is different from other officers and armies and has its own system. Personnel transfer is extremely closed, neither anyone is transferred out, and no outsiders are transferred in, so like an iron bucket, needles can't be pricked, water can't be splashed, and a general soldier is thrown in for nothing, Brother Lu Jiu, you can take care of what he says? ”

Lu Jiu nodded frequently, and he had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, yes, why didn't he think of this, it seems that there are many ghost ideas in the stomach of a scholar, and he thinks carefully. It's just that this requires the thirteenth brother to eat some leisure and go to Yangzhou to be a powerless general soldier under Zhang Fangyan's nose. Thinking of this, he raised his eyes to look at Li Xin, wanting to see what the thirteenth brother's idea was.

But seeing Li Xin shook his head, "This is the next policy, and it should not be taken lightly." What's more, I have my own plan, and you can only act according to it..."

Several people heard Li Xin say that he had a clever plan, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Zhang Shi, when we attacked He Yilong's camp, how much money did we get? How many are left now? Hearing Li Xin's question, Mi Yan blinked, as if he had understood his intentions, but he didn't interject, just listened quietly.

"General Hui, He Yilong is very greedy for this killing, and all the money accumulated in the camp is gold, which is tens of thousands of taels..."

Li Xin said with a smile: "Enough, enough, in addition to producing cotton cloth and silk, the land south of the Yangtze River also produces grain for the whole country." We have money in our hands, and we guard such a mountain of grain, if we are starved to death, won't we laugh to death for future generations? ”

Several people applauded, and Zhang Shi immediately said that he would put all the gold out and go to the people to buy grain. Li Xin advised: "You don't have to take it all out, first take out 10,000 taels of gold, and the grain collected is enough for us to eat for two months." ”

At this time, Mi Yan said: "Nowadays, silver is cheap and expensive, if you convert gold into silver, and then go to the people to buy grain, it will be edible for more than three months..."

Lu Jiu smiled, "It's still a meticulous reader, and I can conjure up a month's food for nothing, so I can convince you..." Li Xin patted his head, "What Yuan Chang said is that at the moment, a tael of gold can be converted into ten taels of silver, and although the price of rice is expensive at the moment, even if it is three taels and one stone, we can still buy more than 30,000 stones, which is enough for us to eat for half a year..."

Longtan County Commander Chen Wenzhi was busy working on the construction site, and suddenly received an official letter from Li Xin, and he was about to open it to read, but the general who came to deliver the letter said that he was not in a hurry to see it first, and there was money outside to hand over to him. Chen Wenshan was puzzled, but he also followed him to the county office, only to see mule carts outside the county yamen, and the whole box on it was all white and silver.

Chen Wenshan only felt that his throat was tight, and he stammered and asked, "All, all for me?" ”

The general in charge of the escort nodded and said, "That's right, the county lord hurry up and hand over to me, the battalion is waiting for me to go back..."

Chen Wenshan was shocked, and looked at the silver car in a daze, until the general called him to come to his senses, and immediately reported that all the officials in the yazhong counted the silver, which was as big as 100,000 taels. He has been an official in Nanzhili for so many years, and he has never seen such a lot of silver, and he is excited to see the silver of white flowers.

It was only at this time that he remembered to ask the general who was escorting the silver cart, "I wonder what is the use of the many patterns of silver that the marquis of Zhenyu handed over to the lower officials?" ”

The general smiled and said: "Good question, our general wants the county to collect grain in Yingtianfu, and all the 100,000 taels will be used..."

Hearing that Li Xin wanted him to collect grain on his behalf, he immediately felt that the matter was serious, and his body couldn't help but straighten up, and asked, "I don't know how much the marquis wants to collect grain?" Right now, when the harvest is scarce, the price of rice is much more expensive than usual......"

Li Xin asked Longtan County to collect grain on his behalf, and Chen Wenzhi already understood that this was to collect military grain on his behalf. Harvesting grain is not a problem, and in the grain-producing land south of the Yangtze River, even when the green and yellow are not harvested, it is easy to collect 100,000 taels of silver for rice. Only the price and quantity of rice must be discussed with the marquis of Zhenyu, otherwise the high and low are different, and the errand is smashed, not to mention, and it is thankless.

"The county lord listened, and our general said, as long as you collect 30,000 stone rice for 100,000 taels of silver, all the remaining silver money will belong to the county treasury, and you should pay a reward for manpower. There is only one..."The general's voice suddenly raised, and his tone increased: "There must be no moldy grain, if you eat someone to death, you will be asked..."

Li Xin was so generous, Chen Wenshan's heart had already blossomed, and he naturally agreed: "That's nature, that's nature... This kind of black-hearted thing, the subordinate will never do it, and he will not do it..."

Until the silver box was put into the warehouse, Chen Wenshan was still reluctant to wander outside the warehouse, and collected 30,000 stone meters for 100,000 taels of silver, which means that he was given 3,000 stone of rice space in the middle, and it was converted into 10,000 taels of silver, and he was rich and surplus to make up for the deficit in office.

Thinking that 10,000 taels of silver was about to arrive, Chen Wenshan only felt that he was full of energy, hating that he couldn't be separated, supervising the weaving factory on the one hand, and collecting rice on the other. He still has a plan for cotton here, the general only emphasized that he was not allowed to collect moldy rice, but did not say that he was not allowed to collect old rice, and the old rice and the new rice of last year must naturally be another price, and the room for profit during the period was greater. Moreover, the surrounding large households are also happy to turn the old rice in their hands into cash, which is easier than receiving the new rice that has been passed away.

Chen Wenshan thought of doing it, and did not delay for a moment, so that the master had some good proclamations, posted them everywhere, and from now on, the county government will collect Chen rice in the county. As soon as the notice was posted, large households and rice merchants flocked to it, but Longtan County is a small county, and the local population is small, and the collection of 30,000 stone in one fell swoop is only afraid of emptying the county's reserves. With this plan, Chen Wenshan was not in a hurry to collect rice in his own county, but sent an assistant official to collect rice in the next few counties with a proclamation.

However, in two days, Chen Wenshan successfully collected tens of thousands of stone of rice, including 2,000 stone of new rice. Looking at the mountains of grain in the granary, Chen Wenshan was refreshed, and when he thought that at this rate, he could complete it in four more days, and his heart felt indescribably happy. He smirked to himself for a long time, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, only to feel that in the past few days, things have been going very smoothly, and as soon as the old saying says happiness and sorrow, he suddenly woke up and reminded himself to laugh less and save ......

Thinking of this, Chen Wenshan couldn't stop slapping and slapping himself, and scolded himself: "Hit your crow's mouth, hit your crow's mouth..."

Early the next morning, the crow's beak was fulfilled, and at noon that day, the official came to see Chen Wenshan, with a sad face and running sweaty.

"County Zun, there is something strange... Yesterday, even if it was a little more expensive to collect rice in Linxian County, it would cost two taels of silver and one stone, but today it has risen to five taels of silver and one stone. And also, it's still rising...... If it continues to rise like this, let alone collect 30,000 stone rice, it will be difficult to collect 20,000 stone..."

The words of the assistant official made Chen Wenshan's handle like a lightning strike, if it wasn't for someone in the way at this moment, he would immediately slap his own big mouth and cure his crow's mouth. But it's already here, it's too late to say anything, and you can only do your best.

"Have you ever understood the reason for the rise in rice prices?"

The official shook his head and nodded again, "The villain heard that there are still people who collect rice in several nearby counties, could it be that they have raised the price of rice?" ”

Chen Wenshan just wanted to ask again, but he heard the master's words coming from outside the door, "County Zun, go and see, the people of Longtan are crazy, five taels of silver and one stone of rice, and there is no distinction between new rice and old rice." If you don't indulge it, Longtan's rice will be sold out in less than two days..."

It's really a leaky house that happened to rain overnight, and after Chen Wenshan secretly said that he was unlucky, he suddenly realized something. These things are not necessarily coincidences, could it be that someone is deliberately targeting the Hou Hou behind his back?
