Chapter 73: The Big Fool

"What do you think?" Qin Wentao smiled and looked at the group of foreign men in front of him with indescribable expressions, and secretly felt guilty in his heart, don't think that you eat more than the official, the official is a reader, and he is not reading a dead book, hehe.

The old men looked at the harmless and pure smile of other animals, and greeted the women of his whole family in their hearts, this girl looked quite young, but she was a hundred times more cunning than the thousand-year-old fox who had cultivated into refinement, and she was born with a belly of bad water.

They originally played wishful thinking, bullying Cao Wenzhao was a vulgar Qiu Ba, so foolish, but as a result, this guy became a hands-off shopkeeper, under the pretext of slipping away in advance, and threw the negotiation matter to Qin Wentao, no matter how they fooled, Qin Wentao just didn't fall into the pit, but bypassed them into the pit.

However, I must admit that the pit dug by Qin Wentao is indeed a bit interesting, even if he falls into it, there is not much discomfort in his heart, on the contrary, it feels quite comfortable.

In fact, the pit dug by Qin Wentao was very simple, that is, they let them divide the money and grain donated into three parts, which were donated to Cao Wenzhao's Guangping army, government and displaced people, not only to befriend the officers and soldiers of the Guangping army, but also to please the local officials headed by the governor Sun Chengzong, and at the same time to win the good reputation of being loyal to the monarch and patriotism, sympathizing with the soldiers at the front, and providing relief to the victims.

Money is just a foreign thing, life does not bring death does not take it, there is no can be earned back, but reputation is a lifelong thing, it is not good to live for a hundred generations, you don't see, countless people in order to go down in history, even don't want their lives, in case they reach the heavens, the son of heaven is happy, and the commendation of the pennant plaque is more developed, and this account is cost-effective.

Qin Wentao also revealed some information intentionally or unintentionally, the Red Gang did not want to raise the bar with you when selling grain at a low price, but was instructed by some big figures in the court, the purpose was to form a good alliance with Governor Sun and help him govern Shaanxi, which was in a mess, otherwise Governor Sun would send a team of soldiers over to obey the dispatch of the Red Gang? Think about the complex relationships involved.

Don't you believe it? Could it be that if you stomp your feet, the ground of the Jingshi is shaking, and the brain of the red master is in the water, and he doesn't make money by putting the silver in a good place, and he wants to sell grain at a low price? If it's you, there is no benefit, will the good ones do a loss-making business?

You want to make a lot of money with grain, but the timing is not right, so don't think of any bad ideas to deal with the Red Gang, Governor Sun will rely on the grain transported by the Red Gang to appease the displaced people, what accident will happen to the Red Gang, Governor Sun will definitely suspect you, but he has the final say in the Shaanxi territory, whoever demolishes his platform is his enemy, who can withstand his thunderous anger?

As for me, it's also for your good, everyone will leave a friendship, and it will be easy to talk when we meet again in the future, don't you say?

The few old men who originally wanted to rob the Red Gang's grain convoy were in a cold sweat when they heard it, but fortunately, the manpower was still being gathered, and they didn't have time to act, otherwise they would have died.

Everyone in total, they all feel that Qin Wentao's idea is okay, the most important thing is that there is a steady stream of grain from the Red Gang to sell at a low price, and the price of grain will be difficult to rise for a while, and the large amount of grain they have accumulated will definitely not be sold, the longer the stockpile, the more likely the grain is to be damp and moldy, and moreover, Gao Yingxiang's Gao Jiajun, Wang Jiayin's Changsheng army has entered the territory of Xi'an, and has looted two granges and a caravan in a row. Buy a good reputation.

This time, everyone surprisingly did not have any objections, and the vote was unanimously passed, and both sides were happy.

After sending these fat sheep away, Cao Wenzhao got in from the back tent, gave Qin Wentao a thumbs up, and laughed: "Mr. is amazing, I'm Cao someone." ”

"The general is wrong, the powerful person is the emperor."

Qin Wentao's face first showed a wry smile of insignificance, and then his face was solemn, and he bowed in the direction of Jingshi, the real cow pen is the emperor who is far away in Jingshi, sitting on the dragon chair, I can't let him admire and worship.

The whole idea and plan, including how to properly resettle the displaced people, etc., are all made up by the emperor, he just supplements and improves some small details, this vision alone is already admirable, and the emperor also controls the minds of those people very accurately, and the emperor's mind is so powerful that people are afraid and worshipped.

To sum up, although the Son of Heaven is young, he has a high IQ, a unique and ruthless vision, a far-sighted vision, an eclectic act, and even unscrupulous means, decisive killing, diligent and loving the people, maybe not a good Ming monarch, but the cliff is as powerful as the Yongli Emperor, and the crumbling Ming Empire is still hopeful, and he suddenly feels glad for his correct choice, this thick thigh is right.

On the same day, under the escort of the officers and soldiers of the brigade, the old men outside the city transferred the accumulated grain from the major granges outside the city, and transported it into the city, causing a sensation in the whole city, and also made all the displaced people breathe a sigh of relief. Who would dare to encourage Lao Tzu to be a thief, Lao Tzu was the first to take him to the official.

When these outsiders didn't know whether they had taken the wrong medicine or had a short circuit in their nerves, and suddenly announced that they would donate all the grain to the government and the camp campers, the people of the whole city went crazy, or burst into tears, or knelt on the ground to thank them, and called the great good people living Bodhisattvas and gods, and they were so excited that they looked like crazy, and the cheers pierced the sky.

Looking at the countless waving arms, listening to the cheers that pierced the sky, a group of foreign masters suddenly felt light and fluttering all over their bodies, as if they had become immortals and ascended, which felt pain in their hearts because of a lot of losses, and because they had bought a good reputation, the pain and happiness were entangled, and it would be difficult to describe for a while.

A few days later, the good news came, Gao Yingxiang and Wang Jiayin and other thieves were defeated, scattered and fled, and disappeared, and the people in the entire Xi'an Mansion breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, in an unknown deep mountain and old forest, Gao Yingxiang, Wang Jiayin and other leaders of the People's Army were gathering together for a meeting to discuss future plans.

Sun Chengzong's Xi'an Army, Sun Chuanting's partial division, and Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army were too ferocious, and the people's armies that had risen from all walks of life were defeated and scattered.

Everyone is a difficult brother, no one laughed at anyone, first get together, strengthen the momentum of the team, and then say, scattered will only be eaten by the murderous officers and soldiers, however, although the life was saved, but the successive fiascos made everyone depressed, the most terrible thing is that the food and other baggage are lost, and if you don't find a way quickly, you will have to starve to death in this labyrinthine deep mountain and old forest.

The wheel of history has undergone a little change here, and the difference from the original history is that the Ming army of the Qing Dynasty did not suffer defeats, and the territory of Shaanxi was not turned upside down, even the prefectures and counties occupied by the people's army were quickly recovered, and they were not completely broken, as long as there was a certain supply of money and food, and they could recuperate for two or three years, plus the imperial court reduced and exempted taxes, and God opened the eyes of sufficient rain, and the people still had a way to live.

Zhu Jian opened the door and went astray, unscrupulous means, not only got a large amount of food, but also forced those gentry and powerful profiteers to obediently donate a lot of money and grain, which greatly relieved the pressure on the local government and the imperial court, and also made the people see hope.

Another small change is that the people's army hiding in the deep mountains and old forests formed a 36th battalion, the respected Wang Jiayin was elected as the leader of the alliance, Gao Yingxiang was one of the leaders of the 36th battalion, was elected as the king of Chuang, a full two years earlier than the original history, and the other was even more bullish, forcing Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself on the coal mountain, and Li Zicheng, the king of the Dashun Empire, was still an unknown team leader.

In fact, Li Zicheng has begun to show some of his own abilities, and is valued by Wang Jiayin's right-hand man Wang Ziyong, although he has been promoted to captain, but there is only one squad of soldiers under his hands, there is no way, the Changsheng army has suffered heavy losses, the number of troops is pitiful, and there are many big leaders, and the soldiers are assigned, even if you are a colonel-level officer, there are only one or two platoons of soldiers under your hands, and it will be good, it is not bad if you are not a light pole commander.

In Jingshi, in the Jinluan Palace, the Donglin Party led by Qian Qianyi was fighting with Ruan Dacheng's Jiangnan faction civil officials.
