Chapter 152: Knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow

Ma Yun looked for a voice.

saw Zhao Shuo leading people into the crowd.

Ma Yunqi saw that the person who took the lead was riding a tall horse, and when he arrived in front of him, he had no intention of stopping.

Immediately, he retreated to the side in fear.

There was also a hint of fear on his face.

He could see that the man had a lot of background.

Because in the Great Song Dynasty, a horse and a cow were both strategic reserve resources.

Especially horses.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has gone to the sixteen states of Youyun in the north.

Since then, it has lost its breeding base.

So in the entire northern and southern periods of the Song Dynasty, it adds up to hundreds of years.

There is a great shortage of horses.

Now some officials of the imperial court also do not have the power to allocate war horses.

Even Jin Wuwei, the most elite before the Great Song Dynasty, was barely able to configure the famous scene of the national cavalry.

Zhao Shuo entered the crowd, glared at the Ma family condescendingly, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?" ”

Ma Yunqi calmed down, pretending to be calm and said: "Under Ma Yunqi, Ma Huaibang is my father." ”

Gao Yu said: "Boy, Ma Huaibang is a wealthy merchant in Bianliang City, and now he is cooperating with the imperial court to supply food. ”

"You say he's your father?"

When Ma Yunqi heard Gao Yu's words, a sense of pride arose on his face.

Originally, I was still a little afraid of Zhao Shuo's background.

Now he didn't pay attention to it at all, but glanced at Zhao Shuo coldly: "Yes, my father Ma Huaibang is doing things with Zhao Lindong, the chief of the judicial department." ”

Gao Yu hurriedly explained in Zhao Shuo's ear: "Zhao Lindong is the squire of the judge. ”

Zhao Shuo nodded and said, "Then why are you coercing the people here?" ”

A look of impatience appeared on Ma Yunqi's face, and he frowned and stared at Zhao Shuo and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Ma Yunqi didn't dare to offend Zhao Shuo too much.

After all, the other party's posture and tone of voice are also like dignitaries who came out of Bianliang City.

"Why do you coerce the people?" Zhao Shuo accentuated his tone: "You may understand me?" ”

As soon as Ma Yunqi heard Zhao Shuo's domineering tone, his face immediately turned sideways.

A wealthy young man like Ma Yunqi, who was born lying on gold ingots, has always been the object of everyone's pursuit when he grows so big.

He has ever been ridiculed so condescendingly.

But when he saw that the people brought by Zhao Shuo were also riding high-headed horses, he didn't dare to get angry at the moment.

Instead, he maintained a sneer on his face and said, "It's not coercion, I'm here to replace." The peasants paid for the grain, and the government paid for it. ”

"Then why did you insult my father-in-law?" Zhao Shuo stretched out his hand and pointed to the old man who was huddled in the corner shivering.

"This son, which eye did you see that Young Master Ben insulted and physically punished him?"

"Uncle, stand up and tell everyone, has Ben Shao ever moved a finger of you?"

At this time, the old man who was curled up stood up timidly.

With a helpless face, he said to Zhao Shuo: "The injury on the old man's body was accidentally injured by himself with farm tools, and it has nothing to do with Ma Shao!" ”

And voila!

What is the blackness of the hands and eyes?

This is black!

Obviously, in this realm, he Ma Yunqi is the sky.

Ma Yunqi also pretended to be righteous and said: "You have to listen clearly, don't slander Ben Shao." ”

"Good, good." Zhao Shuo sneered and asked, "How did you replace it?" Where does the replacement go? ”

"Of course it's for the imperial court!"

"Go on, for which member of the court?"

Hearing Zhao Shuo ask so plainly which big man it was.

Ma Yunqi also raised a little vigilance, and immediately said: "What does this have to do with you?" I advise you to follow your own path. ”

"Besides, we were ordered to collect grain to benefit the people."

"Uncle, did this young man give you the silver?" Ma Yunqi directly turned his head to stare at the old man who had been violently beaten.

The old man was stunned for a while, then his expression suddenly changed, and he nodded like pounding garlic and said, "Give it, young master gave it." ”

"That's right." Ma Yunqi crossed his hands on his waist, and the tip of his needle looked at Zhao Shuo like a wheat.

Now he feels like he's on the moral high ground.

There is no need to grovel in front of the nobles in front of you.

Moreover, Ma Yunqi also knew his backer, and immediately said: "This young master, I see that you are so concerned about food, so let's cooperate?" ”

When Ma Yunqi asked, Zhao Shuo became interested.

smiled and said, "How to cooperate?" ”

"You give me a thousand taels of silver, and I will give you two thousand stones."

"Trade now, and you can go to Bianliang City and sell it for a good price."

Zhao Shuo's face became more and more frozen.

Gao Yu leaned into Zhao Shuo's ear and said, "Master, the current grain price in Bianliang City is 2 taels of silver and one stone. ”

2 Two taels of silver for one stone, and the two thousand stones are four thousand taels of silver.

You only need a thousand taels to take here?

First of all, let's not talk about the spread that has multiplied several times in between.

Is he Ma Yunqi engaged in charity?

is such an understatement, saying that it can make people earn three thousand taels of silver.

What is this?

The peasants present heard it.

Three thousand taels of silver, they had to cultivate the land of the Great Song Dynasty for three hundred years without eating or drinking.

No eating or drinking!

And a rich young master can earn that number by opening his mouth.

There could be more.

This directly reflects the surprise of the income of the wealthy people in the upper class of the Great Song Dynasty and the ordinary people at the grassroots level.

It's such an outrageous situation.

Zhao Shuo thought of the soldiers and civilians who were sweating on the northern front line at this moment, even if they had the appropriation and grain and grass from the imperial court, there were also poor areas that could not be covered.

Every day, there are still people who turn apostasy because of hunger and become robbers.

Let's take the current Zhao Shuo as an example.

In order to save money in the palace, he has tried to reduce his own expenses as much as possible.

The diet of him and Empress Zhu is also much more vegetarian than before.

Coupled with the seizure of the family property of a number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, those big officials in the imperial court who have been shocked by the great emperor do not dare to blatantly desire for luxury.

Especially these cities around Bianliang City.

They are no match for the fertile soil of the south.

After all, Mu Han led the Jin army to besiege here for two months.

The gold thieves almost looted the people and grain in the surrounding cities.

There is not even a seed in the land here.

So as soon as the gold thief retreated, Zhao Shuo took the lead in distributing seeds to the people.

It's been less than a month.

The seeds of the common people have just been planted.

The official master here sent someone to collect it?

Isn't this kind of exhaustive fishing style cut off the roots of the Great Song Dynasty?

Zhao Shuo asked Li Yan to go to the south to transfer grain before, Li Yanhui won't be so stupid that he can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest, right?

This place is less than 100 miles away from Bianliang City, and Li Yanhui will definitely not collect grain here.

Then there is only one possibility.

The guy in front of him kept saying that he was for the court.

So which dignitaries in the court did he serve?

At this moment, Zhao Shuo's eyes were mixed with a strong killing intent.

It seems that he exploded and cut down those corrupt officials in Bianliang City, which did not have a good warning effect at all.
