Chapter 700: Gradual chaos
"Don't hide it from the master, there are too many people and goods crossing the border over there, don't keep an eye on it, the small one has already ordered all the people and horses to come over, but it's not that I have the intention to delay." After seeing Zhao Jin, Jiang Mutou hurriedly defended.
Zhao Jin shook his head and smiled, but this smile made Jiang Mutou even more misunderstood, Jiang Mutou raised his voice a little and said: "Jin Ye, Cheng Daqi is a ghost, I have been asking when everyone is coming, he has a good chance of taking the jackpot, but he did this, but everyone seems to have other thoughts, Jin Ye, everyone is loyal."
These words made Zhao Jin speechless, but there was no one who left Jiang Mutou here, and after leaving thirty-five horses, the rest were beaten back.
The arrival of Cheng Daqi and Jiang Mutou seemed to be a signal, and in the next two or three days, 66 continued to come to many teams, and even Yunshan Temple sent two teams with a total of 400 young people.
These people are all local tyrants or poles all over Xuzhou, and they are all powerful people who have maintained their armed forces with the permission of Zhao Jin, and they came to Hejiazhuang to do similar things to Cheng Daqi and Jiang Mutou, they are all patting their chests to show their loyalty, and they are willing to live and die with Zhao Ziying.
For these small groups of armed forces, Zhao Ziying symbolically left dozens of people, and then beat them back, telling these people not to panic, just wait and see
"They have swords and soldiers in their hands, but they are nothing in front of us, they will be destroyed when they raise their hands and turn their hands, even if the official army comes, even if the official army defeats us, it is the same, what they are most afraid of is to be suspected by us, then it will disappear immediately, so they would rather come and rebel with us, so there is still the possibility of gambling, otherwise, then there is nothing left." Zhao Jin saw it very clearly.
Wang Zhaojing also has his own opinions: "These people can't leave Xuzhou, they are not in this hometown, they are nothing, but those literati, as long as they are famous, there are too many places in the world to go." ”
Similar to these local tyrants, there are officials in four counties in one state, although they have the identity of the government, but now they are more closely integrated with Zhao Jin and Zhao Ziying, no matter how worried and frightened, they can only endure it, as for those who were eliminated by Zhao Ziying, they also know that Zhao Jin is powerful, no matter how much they look forward to it, they dare not show it, at most they write a few letters and the like.
As for the court officials in the yamen, they are holding the attitude of waiting for death, they have no resistance in the current situation, if they rebel, they only have two choices, or from the thief, or commit suicide, but in private they are also scolding their mothers, and they came to investigate Zhao Jin's rebellion case, but Zhao Jin and Dong Bingfeng's Lao Tzu are still sitting firmly in the garrison position, how is this investigating and doing things
Dong Bingfeng's third regiment returned to Xuzhou first, and such a large-scale transfer of family members was very troublesome no matter how much they came and went, so they could only pretend to be a convoy escort and divide into five teams to turn around.
The second regiment on Shi Manqiang's side moved even more slowly, they divided into companies and walked, and the carts of the big carts loaded with heavy grain, just went north along the canal, and came back half a month later than Dong Bingfeng's third regiment.
Before the return of these two regiments, all kinds of materials had been allocated, with Hejiazhuang as the center, there were more than 40 companies stationed, and the scale of nearly 5,000 people was close to 5,000 people, including the bow team and horse team.
In the past, these regiments were divided into various places, supplied separately from each place, and concentrated in one place, the consumption was really huge, even if Zhao Ziying had such a deposit, he felt that it was not easy, and he looked at the food and materials flowing into it.
Zhao Jin's mother, He Cuihua, has been taking care of Xu Zhenzhen here, and she is too lazy to inquire about outside matters, but she feels very sorry for her daughter-in-law, saying that her belly is so big, and she is still busy every day.
So many families are always ready, and the weapons and spare storage they use are also huge, Zhao Ziying has been buying from the Xu family for all these years, and has always had inventory, but at this time, in order to rest assured, more will be added.
But the Xu family wants to draw a clear line, Xu Zhenzhen's father and younger brother are not business materials, and they are much worse at managing people and affairs, and they were hollowed out again.
This made Xu Zhenzhen feel very helpless, she complained to Zhao Jin in private, saying that the brains of these people in the Xu family were broken, if Zhao Jin was really a rebellion, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, as Zhao Jin's wife, he couldn't escape from the Yu family, what he had to do at this time was to give full support, but these people actually wanted to pull back.
Pregnant women are always sensitive, and Xu Zhenzhen even complained about herself, saying that if it weren't for the Xu family being her own family, Zhao Jin would have been ruthless and wouldn't have left so many idiot relatives who didn't know the so-called.
However, it is easy to rectify, Zhao Jin arranged for the people of the internal guard to go to Xu's house, and after showing his means a little, the upper and lower levels were immediately silent, and they did not dare to cooperate in the slightest.
Zhao Jin's small fleet on the Yellow River was not idle all day, transporting a large number of iron supplies from the north bank to the south bank, and Wang Ziyang's large fleet transported these to the warehouses of Hejiazhuang and various estates.
From beginning to end, the most determined is this cattle and horse merchant Wang Ziyang, he mobilized all his men who can ride horses, let Zhao Jin's horse team command, and is also ready to take out his gold and silver savings in Xuzhou, ready to supplement Zhao Ziying, he is now writing to Shanxi every day, so that they can support here as much as possible.
Wang Ziyang knew very well in his heart that without Hanjing famous wine, he would be nothing, and without the protection of Zhao Ziying's armed forces, he would not even be able to enter and exit Henan properly, and the situation of his business in Shanxi would be taken away.
Do you want to go back to the days when you drove hundreds of animals to sell every year? From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, Wang Ziyang is now also a famous businessman in Jindi, he is really unwilling to return to the way he used to be.
The business affairs here in Xuzhou have been deserted, although the farmers are worried, but there is no other place to go, can only continue to farm, now this year can not do anything, even if this side has to fight, but after all, there is no Liao, everyone is okay, really want to leave Xuzhou, by the Liao's exploitation, I am afraid that life is better than death.
The market and salt market in Hejiazhuang have stopped, except for Zhao Ziying's own storefront, which is still open, and the rest are either closed or returned to their hometowns to take refuge.
But Qingjiang City is still open, and Zhao Ziying's industries over there have been closed, and the shopkeepers and stewards have been paid three months' wages, so they can wait for news and come back to work after reopening, but other shops are still open, and the rules set by Zhao Ziying are still followed.
"If you break the rules, you won't make money, and of course they won't mess with themselves." Zhao Jin commented.
After Liu Yong and Zhou Xuezhi returned to Xuzhou, Qingjiangpu still had a letterhead, saying that the Qingjiangpu Chamber of Commerce actually took the silver to the Zhaojiawu Pavilion, and asked those Jianghu men to maintain the order and rules of the city.
"People who do business don't pay attention to righteousness, they only value silver, and the price is enough, they can sell anything." Zhou Xuezhi's evaluation is also very mean.
According to the news from Qingjiangpu, the Qingjiang City originally wanted to completely leave Zhao Ziying behind, especially after Shi Manqiang left with the second regiment.
But as soon as Shi Manqiang left, Qingjiangpu immediately became chaotic, this is where the people in the rivers and lakes make money, in the past, there was Zhao Ziying Town here, and the bloody lesson was in front of him, no one dared to mess around, but as soon as Zhao Ziying left, everyone felt that a large piece of land was vacated, and whoever could grab it was whom.
Group beatings, murders, arson, and all kinds of vicious cases began to appear, and thieves and swindlers who set up bureaus also appeared in the big city of Qingjiang, which had always been safe.
In stark contrast, the circle around the city, those industries under the name of Zhao Ziying have always been very peaceful and safe, the reason is very simple, since it is to give Zhao Ziying's money to do business, then Zhao Ziying is responsible, Cheng Dahu, Wei Mugen and Nie Hei are all ruthless characters, and they began to clean up a few of the emerging ones, and they were all honest in the back.
After seeing such a scene, the Qingjiang Chamber of Commerce quickly changed its approach, as long as it does not delay its own money, and if it does not rebel, who will care.
In this part of Qingjiangpu, as long as the wealthy businessmen have this attitude, others will not have any objections, because they recognize and support the forces left by Zhao Ziying, so Qingjiangpu can still maintain peace.
But other places are different, from Qingjiangpu to Pizhou this line, now it is a mess, originally everyone bowed to Zhao Ziying, obediently do things to make money, but now Zhao Ziying is gone, everyone naturally has to fight, especially in Yangzhou, from the Feng family to the major salt merchants below, are rebuilding their own private forces, they also want their own territory, fighting each other, the local are miserable.
Don't say that the peasant people who are farming, even the local tyrants and squires feel unbearable, there was originally a Zhao Zi camp, there is no need to worry about any bandits, and there is no need to care about any fire, but now it is necessary to gather young and strong, ready to fight or defend at any time, every young man is a laborer, dancing knives and guns every day, and having to eat well, delaying the agricultural time is not small, and no one can afford it.
Don't say it's local, even the government is in a hurry, without Zhao Ziying, you can indeed regain your authority, but there are too many cases than before, and with Zhao Ziying as an example, there is no government at all in the eyes of the tyrants below.
