Although Li Zicheng is not Zhao Hongyu's straightforward temperament, it is best not to beat around the bush at this time.

After all, you don't have to say what you mean in the end.

Therefore, Li Zicheng simply said his intention, that is, to buy food.

Moreover, this batch of grain was purchased for the righteous army, and Zhao Hongyu was not concealed.

After listening to Li Zicheng's words, Zhao Hongyu pondered for a while.

Seriously, grain is sold to anyone, and there is nothing wrong with the rebels buying it.

As for whether it is considered to be pulling the hind legs of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Hongyu has never worried about this, after all, he has sold weapons and armor to the righteous army, which is already very good.

Nowadays, disasters are frequent, and the grain harvest in various places has failed, so that the price of grain in the Ming Dynasty has been high and continues to rise due to weather factors, plus some man-made reasons.

Even if the price here in Jincheng is cheap, it has reached the price of three taels of silver and one stone, which is still the cheapest in the whole Ming Dynasty.

Then, I don't know how much money the rebel army represented by Li Zicheng will pay to buy grain.

There are hundreds of thousands of them, and there are not a few people who want to come to the food.

Moreover, Zhao Hongyu was very worried that Li Zicheng would not be able to take out so much silver.

As if seeing some of Zhao Hongyu's concerns, Li Zicheng hurriedly said: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about the silver, a certain family came to bring enough silver this time." You can buy as much food as you have with as much silver, and you will definitely not embarrass Your Highness, so please rest assured that Your Highness is this. ”

"Oh, so how much silver did you bring with you this time." Hearing this, Zhao Hongyu looked over and asked at the same time. Li Zicheng replied: "There are 120,000 taels of silver, and there are some antique calligraphy and paintings." ”

Needless to say, those antiques, calligraphy and paintings were basically obtained from the landlords and gentry after the rebels broke through the county seat, and these things were not worth much on the side of the rebels, but they could be exchanged for the food they urgently needed.

As for 120,000 taels of silver, it's really not much, and it's just 40,000 stone of grain to buy at the top of the sky.

This bit of food will not solve the problem of food shortage for the rebels at all. At most, it will be a few days of relief.

Therefore, it depends on the antique calligraphy and paintings brought by Li Zicheng, and how much silver can be converted in the end.

If it is some more valuable antique calligraphy and painting, then of course you can get a good income in the end, but once these things are worthless, or they are lowered by Zhao Hongyu or something, then Li Zicheng will not be able to get the benefits he hoped for.

Of course, before Li Zicheng came, he had already made this psychological preparation.

Antiques, calligraphy and paintings. It will definitely be underpriced.

At this point, even if he doesn't do business with Zhao Hongyu, he will also suffer from other businessmen.

What we have to look at now is Zhao Hongyu's knife. Isn't it ruthless enough?

This is what makes Li Zicheng's heart bottomless.

"Oh, if that's the case, I'll make it clear. If you want to buy grain, you can, what is the price of grain in Jincheng now? I'll sell you as much money as I want, and I won't raise the price. Then those antique calligraphy and paintings you brought, we have to evaluate this carefully. Then I can give you a fair price, but I promise that I won't let you suffer too much, in fact, I also hope to be able to make a long-term deal with your rebels. ”

Zhao Hongyu said this, and Li Zicheng listened to it.

Whether it is true or not, the initiative is not on Li Zicheng and the righteous army he represents, but the meaning revealed by Zhao Hongyu still makes Li Zicheng a little excited, because Zhao Hongyu's meaning is obvious, and he does not reject trading with the righteous army.

This point is much stronger than many merchants in Daming.

On the side of the rebels, the biggest headache for them was that they had money and could not buy what they needed from other merchants, because they were standing on the opposite side of the class represented by the interests of the merchants and landlords.

Looking at the table after the rebel army broke through more than a dozen county seats, those rich merchants, landlords and wealthy gentry basically did not end well.

Therefore, according to the appearance and attitude of the righteous army, of course those merchants of the Ming Dynasty would not deal with the righteous army. Even if the rebels had money now, the merchants wouldn't be sticky.

Then, if Jincheng can do business with the rebels for a long time and provide a large amount of stable food and other materials for the rebels, it will of course be very good for the rebels.

Li Zicheng, who also heard the subtext, showed joy on his face.

"Let's not say anything superfluous, you send the silver and antique calligraphy and paintings, and I will immediately ask people to evaluate the price of those antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and then give you food."

Zhao Hongyu is very simple, and Li Zicheng also likes to do this.

Therefore, he immediately let his subordinates go to the inn where they stayed, and drove those carriages to the place designated by Zhao Hongyu one after another.

Zhao Hongyu ordered someone to find a few people to evaluate antique calligraphy and paintings, these people are all palms who opened pawnshops in Jincheng, and they belong to the local people of this time and space.

After all, under Zhao Hongyu, there is really no talent in this area.

Therefore, he had to rely on the power of these people who opened pawnshops in Jincheng.

Li Zicheng brought a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings, and after some appraisal, there are indeed some good things in them.

According to those appraisers, Zhao Hongyu secretly weighed it in his heart, just one-fifth of the antique calligraphy and paintings that have been identified can be sold for billions of soft girl coins in the virtual world.

It's a lucrative deal.

Not to mention, only one-fifth of them have been identified, and four-fifths of the antique calligraphy and paintings have not been identified.

So what is certain is that this batch of antique calligraphy and paintings can definitely make Zhao Hongyu profitable.

Of course, no one can understand that Zhao Hongyu can make enough profits.

After all, he has a rebellious plug-in, doesn't he?

As for this batch of antique calligraphy and paintings, if they are brought to the virtual world, will they make the antique market turbulent? Zhao Hongyu is not worried at all.

You must know that the size of the virtual world is dozens of times that of the era when Zhao Hongyu came.

So, how can such a little antique calligraphy and painting cause turmoil.

Of course, in order to avoid this trouble, Zhao Hongyu can't sell them all at once, and he must sell them little by little in a planned way.

Anyway, what was sold was just some old rice, but it was exchanged for more valuable antique calligraphy and paintings, which was enough to make Zhao Hongyu wake up laughing when he fell asleep.

Take advantage of this gap in the identification of antique calligraphy and painting. Zhao Hongyu and Li Zicheng started a small talk.

Although Li Zicheng and Sai Shi Niang's father and daughter recognize each other, they also need time to have a good chat.

However, Li Zicheng didn't dare to snub Zhao Hongyu.

At the same time, because the father and daughter have been separated for many years, even if Sai Shi Niang and Li Zicheng recognize each other, they have nothing to say for a while.

Therefore, when Zhao Hongyu came over to talk to his father, Sai Shi Niang didn't feel that there was anything wrong. On the contrary, it made her breathe a little relieved.

"Although your rebel army is now powerful, it always slaughters those rich people after breaking through the county towns and cities, which cannot support you to go too far. Moreover. They are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Yanhuang ethnic group, as for what they want to do so desperately. “

As soon as he spoke, Zhao Hongyu's words were a little unpleasant.

But. Li Zicheng was not angry, after all, Zhao Hongyu was not something he could offend.

Besides, these words of Zhao Hongyu. It's not very polite, but there's a hint of kindness in it.

If people are not kind, where will they care about what the righteous army does?

At the same time, for some of the practices of the righteous army, in fact, even Li Ziyuan himself was a little unbearable.

For example, after conquering some county towns, Li Zicheng did not approve of the slaughter of those rich households.

Because Li Zicheng is a person who understands, he knows very well who the interest class groups of the Ming Dynasty are, that is, these landlords, wealthy families and businessmen.

In this way, for example, the rebels have completely pushed themselves against the side of the ruling class, and against most of the vested interests.

If the rebels occupy most of the world, then there is nothing wrong with doing so.

However, the rebel army does not have such strength now, but it has to make such a move.

Therefore, Li Zicheng was a little uneasy.

Moreover, with the series of victories of the rebels during this period, most of the rebels developed some pride and complacency, and began to have a somewhat distorted personality.

After they conquered the county towns and villages, they not only killed the rich and landlords, but also the rich merchants. It has even developed to the point of plundering the local people, raping women, and killing innocent people.

The rebels, in essence, have begun to undergo some changes, and this change is still very bad.

Li Zicheng saw these in his eyes one by one, but there were some calculations in his heart.

Li Zicheng's ancestor is also from an official eunuch family, and the reason why Li Zicheng's generation has become an ordinary military household is also due to complex factors.

However, it is precisely because of this relationship that Li Zicheng's family also has a lot of books left by his ancestors, which have increased his knowledge a lot.

Coupled with the days when they were outlawed, he gained experience, so after combining it with this knowledge, Li Zicheng is of course different from the big bosses in the righteous army.

It can be said that he has seen farther than many people.

"What His Highness said is true, but the status of a certain person in the rebel army is not very high, and his words have no weight. And no one listens to these words, and they will offend those villains, so they don't bother to say anything. “

"However, a certain family is also very worried about the future of the rebels, as His Highness said. This kind of practice of the righteous army will eventually lead to the loss of the support of the people. Li Zicheng is still a person who can see clearly, Zhao Hongyu nodded secretly after hearing this.

"Most of you rebels are just peasants who can't survive, and all you do is find a way to survive. I think you can fight a way out of the Ming Dynasty, instead of fighting with the imperial army or killing your compatriots. If it were me, I would lead the rebels to attack the Dzungar tribe in Western Mongolia and occupy their playgrounds, cattle, sheep, and territory......"

As soon as Zhao Hongyu's words came out, Li Zicheng suddenly thought about it. (To be continued......)
