Chapter 791: Waves 7
The news that Xishu was preparing to start a war with Donglu reached the southern army as soon as possible, and the southern army was preparing for the first time and sending an urgent document of 800 miles to the imperial court.
The two armies fought, and the grain and grass went first.
The autumn grain collected in Jiangnan quickly came in handy, but the imperial court couldn't draw so much silver.
Under the trade-off, the imperial court adopted the simplest and crude method: raiding the house.
Didn't you check the big and small officials of the DPRK and China from top to bottom a few years ago? Didn't he also convict the Hubu Shangshu Mansion and the Xingguo Mansion and raid the homes of these two households?
This final list is not yet complete, but those who are guilty do not know!
The two countries are at war, the treasury is empty, and those who dared to stretch out their hands before have to spit it out well!
Those who voluntarily confess and turn in may not be questioned, unless the circumstances are too serious, and they will be given a lenient sentence; If you wait until the end of the day to find out, hum, then there is no room for conversion!
It was probably a severe punishment for the Shen family and the Wei family, and the thunderous means made them frightened, and they all rushed home one by one to count their belongings and hand them over, this amount is really not small!
On the Jinling side, Su Pingkang, the minister of the Qin Mission, and Zhang Xu, the envoy of Jianghuai, also received the holy decree respectively, and the Marquis of Jingping severely punished the Wan, Lu, and Qian families, especially the Wan families, and specified that they should be raided and exiled according to the crime of collaborating with the enemy, and the Lu and Qian families were fined an extremely large amount of silver; And the holy decree that Zhang Xu received was to send grain to the south.
Grain transfer should have been the business of the household department and the military department. However, Emperor Mingzong handed over this important matter to Zhang Xu, the envoy of Jianghuai and the dethroned Zhizhi, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to raise objections - even if they did not explicitly state it, they themselves knew more or less in their hearts, and how serious the corruption of the household and military departments was!
classmates, fellow villagers, same subjects, same lists, teachers and students, in-laws...... The complex relationship between colleagues is inextricably entangled, no matter which dynasty or generation, is constantly cut and sorted out in chaos.
These pieces of news are not a secret in officialdom at all.
And in this matter, Zhang Xu once again played extraordinarily, making Emperor Mingzong and the Manchu Dynasty dumbfounded, and at the same time, the Lin family, which was gradually despised by everyone, once again became the focus of everyone's attention.
In the wind and snow of that year, an Oiran election brought all the grain from Gyeonggi to the Lin family, and many fertile fields in Jiangnan, Longxi and other places were repaid to the Lin family to pay for the food stamps they issued that could not be cashed. And that year, it became a nightmare for almost all grain lords in Donglu!
This can be seen from the fact that all the grain shops in Gyeonggi have been converted into forests.
Since then, the Lin family has been an unshakable hegemon in the grain business.
Back then, everyone sighed at Lin Qian's generosity and prepared such a rich and objective dowry for his niece. But he didn't expect that this visible grain was just a part of the dowry, and the real highlight was on the granaries that had sprung up in various provinces, states, and counties in the years when Lin Ruo married into King Rong's mansion.
Because of Jiangnan's trial of the Qingmiao Law, Wanjia won the right to allocate Qingmiao, and Lin Ruo, a grain merchant giant in Donglu, because he mastered such a huge amount of grain and its collection and sales channels, the matter of grain collection undoubtedly fell on the Lin family's grain store under her name. Zhang Xu, the envoy of Jianghuai, gave the Lin family great convenience for this purpose, and established granaries in various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, which greatly facilitated the peasants in the south of the Yangtze River to exchange summer grain and autumn grain into cash in a timely manner.
In view of the fact that Princess Rong Lin Ruo is becoming more and more favored in front of the emperor, she is so red that she is purple, and she is also red-eyed Zhang Xu has risen from a cloth cloth to a Jianghuai envoy in just two years, and other provinces and states have also followed suit.
It's just that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty only saw today how great the power of this granary all over the world is! If these granaries are marked on the map and connected by lines, big cities and big warehouses, small cities and small warehouses, it is a grain network that covers the entire Donglu in it!
Grain and grass have always been the most important logistical supply for the two armies in battle, and it is one of the important factors that determine the victory or defeat of the two armies. In the past, when fighting with the enemy, the transportation of grain and grass was a heavy task, and if the delivery of military rations was delayed, it was undoubtedly an unavoidable felony; If you lose food and grass, it will be a serious crime, and even your family will be harmed.
It has to be said that the cost of transporting grain and grass is also extremely large. It is not a lie to say that the wealth accumulated over decades of cultivation will bottom out in three or five years once it encounters a military disaster.
This time, the grain was sent from the south of the Yangtze River to the south, thousands of miles away, but it was very different from the past, not only did it take a short time, but the cost of transporting the grain did not need to be borne by the imperial court, but the imperial court paid according to the official price of the grain - one stone and twenty taels - of which eighteen taels were paid as the commodity price to the Bai family, the Wang family and the Lin family who collected the autumn grain, and the other two taels were the cost of transporting the grain. However, in Donglu, the price at which the people buy grain is also 20 taels per stone, which is really a conscience.
After the money was settled, every three days, a steady stream of military rations would be delivered to the military camps of the southern army.
This was sent to the southern army, of course, not the newly harvested autumn grain in Jiangnan, but the granary closest to the southern army received the news and sent the grain stored in the granary to the military camp in the southern border, and two or three days later, another granary closest to this granary would send the packaged grain to fill the gap. In this way, step by step, grain was transferred nearby, and all the newly harvested grain in Jiangnan was quickly transported. Convenient, efficient, and without any accidents, so that those who want to find fault can't find fault!
"I don't know if the person who came up with this method is An Taibo Lin Qian first, or Lin Ruo, the princess of Rong, ......"
This is the most emotion issued by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including Emperor Mingzong. But whether it was Lin Qian or Lin Ruo, they were no longer there.
For Jiangshan Sheji, is this fortunate or unfortunate? The Tang Sect in Shuzhong has repeatedly sent killers to infiltrate Donglu, and they have tried to take the lives of the Lin family three times and twice, has they discovered this a long time ago? But how do they know?
These questions linger in the minds of many people. However, in the end, only Emperor Mingzong had the ability to verify the answer. An Taibo Lin Qi and Li Yan, the current chief treasurer of the Lin family, were successively summoned into the palace for questioning, and in the face of the emperor's inquiry, the answers of the two were surprisingly the same - it was Lin Ruo.
It's not just the granary, the wind and snow back then were also Lin Ruo's handwriting, Xiangxuehai and Xingxinglou were all Lin Ruo's handwriting. Because Lin Qian was unwell, a long time ago, the person who was really in charge of the Lin family was Lin Ruo.
Pity...... God is jealous of talents! And this talent, who is jealous of God, is a celebrity. Than Li Yan is also far-sighted and strategic. This can also explain why after Lin Ruo's death, even with Li Yan's help, the Lin family's business is still not as good as day by day.
As for the reason why the Tang Sect was aware of Lin Ruo's ability, it was the work of Luo Tingyun, who was already in ambush in the north.
