A month later, it was the early summer of the fourteenth year of Wanli. Zhang Yue had already begun to eat the watermelons offered by the local big families, and sat in the backyard of the Yan'an Mansion where he was temporarily stationed, and asked Li Rusong: "All the rogues have come to accept Zhao'an?" ”

"Except for those who were recruited by the local authorities in advance, all of them came to Zhao'an, with a total of more than 90,000 people." Li Rusong replied.

After hearing this, Zhang Yue said: "Then please ask the Marquis of Tieling to take these people who accept Zhao'an to Wild Boar Gorge tomorrow to receive money and grain, there are not so many soldiers on the school field in the mansion!" Only one battalion of officers and men should be arranged to stay with me. Li Rusong said yes.

Next, on the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Li Rusong sent troops to organize more than 90,000 Liukou who accepted Zhao'an to go to the Wild Boar Gorge not far from Yan'an Mansion.

"Why go to Boar Gorge?" When the sky monkey followed, he touched his belly, which was a big circle, and couldn't help but ask Liu Jinghe.

Liu Jinghe said with a smile: "The money and grain for Zhao'an this time are all transported from Kuli River, where the boat is docked and entered the city, it is estimated that we will go there to collect it, so as to save the loss on the road, and these officials can eat more of the loss on the road into their own pockets." After hearing this, the Sky Monkey couldn't help but show a look of disdain: "These officials are really fucking good!" In order to make money, let's go so hard under the poisonous sun! When Li Rusong led his troops to organize these rogues who accepted Zhao'an to go to Wild Boar Gorge, Zhang Yue also sent people to invite the local gentry who had conspired with him to recruit Anyin.

"This time I was able to successfully recruit An, thanks to all the village sages!" Zhang Yue also set up a banquet to entertain these people, and took the initiative to hold a glass of wine at the banquet and saluted meaningfully.

Han Weihui and the others hurriedly raised their glasses and said: "Don't dare to do this, this time the security is planned by Lai Butang, how dare we take credit." ”

"It doesn't have to be so modest." Zhang Yue waved his hand, and then said to these gentlemen: "The Marquis of Tieling has escorted them to the Wild Boar Gorge, and when he comes back to restore his life, you can take your part first." Han Weihui and the other gentlemen all looked at each other and smiled after hearing this, and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this time they had really earned it.

As he spoke, Zhang Yue commanded, "Someone! A short time later, a team of bookkeepers came up with account books.

Then, another group of sergeants began to appear outside carrying the chest, and opened the box, revealing layers of silver dollars that glittered in the sunlight.

"These are the Zhao'an Silver that has arrived."

"Thanks to Your Majesty's great benevolence, the people of the world are regarded as children, and the soldiers are not mobilized because of the chaos of the people in your township, so I specially sent this church to come here on behalf of the Son of Heaven to spread the blessings, specifically, it is to spend the money and grain here to make your township fine."

"And as for who is recruited, it doesn't matter, it's just that the people of your hometown can be appeased." Zhang Yue said: "So fellow villagers, please thank the Son of Heaven first." So, Han Weihui and other local gentry all knelt down towards Zhang Yue and thanked Zhu Yijun.

Then, Zhang Yue said: "Before dividing and receiving favors, sign a note on the account book and draw a pledge." ”

"Why is this the case?" Han Weihui asked. Zhang Yue said: "Isn't this the rule that should be there, if you don't sign and draw, how can this hall explain to Yuan Fu?" I don't know, I'm afraid I think it's the church that embezzled all the Zhao'an money. ”

"But how can this matter be seen in vain." Sun Yi said at this time. Zhang Yue smiled: "What's the matter, you can't trust this church, for fear that this church will denounce you because of this?" Speaking of this, Zhang Yue slapped the table: "Unless the hall doesn't want its own career, don't take Yuanfu in your eyes!" Don't forget, now this ship, the helm is not the main hall, nor you, it is Motosuke; The parish does not have the ability to capsize the ship. Han Weihui and the others glanced at each other, and then at the box full of silver dollars outside.

Zhang Yue was not in a hurry, he ate the food very calmly, and said: "Anyway, this church will leave seventy percent in your hometown as promised, and these seventy percent of you are divided into one family or two or three or five families, it doesn't matter to the church, whoever is timid can not come to sign, but it is just not allowed to take the silver dollar, whoever is brave can sign, and if you sign, you will take the silver dollar, and the church is also responsible for letting the henchman carry you home, including the money and food that will be shipped later." ”

"Why didn't the ministry say that there was such a trick waiting earlier, but we all persuaded the rogue to come to recruit for the ministry before saying this." Sun Yi said angrily at this time.

Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "You didn't ask either!" Sun Yi: "......" Then, Zhang Yue said: "If you feel that you are really angry, you can find someone to go to the hall to inform the hall, or now ask the "Great Message" to take the hall into Beijing, that is, the hall is unruly, and you will not be forced to sign before you are willing to take away the seventy percent of the Zhaoan silver promised to you." The air fell silent for a moment.

Only the chirping of Zhang Yue when he was drinking and eating food appeared. This is a problem for the gentry, who are greedy, but not stupid, so they will not easily let themselves be left behind.

"That's it!" But in this era of rapid accumulation of wealth by taking advantage of the bold and bold, the family that can become a wealthy gentleman is not only able to read and do business, but also dares to kill people and set fires, otherwise it is not a gentry with 10,000 acres or even 100,000 acres of fertile land, but can only be regarded as an ordinary village sage.

You must know that in history, the bold gentry dared to transport artillery and gunpowder to the enemy country. Therefore, Han Weihui finally stood up at this time: "The ministry did this, Xiaomin can understand, there is no note left, Yuanfu is not easy to explain secondly, presumably we are afraid that we will let the rogues make trouble after you leave, and let your Zhao'an fail." Han Weihui said and came over to pick up the pen in the tray: "I'll sign!" Sun Yi saw Han Weihui's signature, and because he was worried that Han Weihui would really take all the Zhao'an silver, he followed: "Xiaomin doesn't really care about these fame and fortune, but as a fellow villager, how can he see Han Men taking the risk of plotting to share the favor of the court, otherwise wouldn't it make the villagers laugh at me Sun Mou is a rat?" ”

"Reasonable! My Ma family also signed it. ”

"And my Ai family!" For a while, these gentry actually signed, but they didn't stop in front of Houli.

Zhang Yue also laughed when he saw this: "Thanks to the understanding of all the village sages, this hall is very pleased, now we will wait for Tieling Hou Jiayin, let's eat first." ”…… Wild Boar Gorge.

At this time, Li Rusong had already arrived at a place on the top of the canyon, and crossed his waist, looking at the many recruits who had also arrived at the canyon river, and said to Cha Da Shou: "According to the order of the ministry, let's do it!" Cha Dashou said yes, and then he walked down from the plain, and came to the river, and said to these Liukou who had been recruited: "Kneel down first, listen to the order, and then receive money and food!" ”

"Why do you have to kneel?" The Sky Monkey asked Liu Jinghe. Liu Jinghe said: "If we want us to know that this is Emperor Longen, naturally we have to kneel, kneel!" The Sky Monkey still knelt down, and muttered: "The government really has a lot of rules!" Lao Tzu didn't have such trouble when he divided the gold and silver! And the other rogues who were recruited also knelt down at this time.

In addition, Liu Jinghe also knelt down, and according to the prior agreement, he took out the white cloth in his sleeve and pinched it in his hand.

At this time, Cha Dashou came over with the soldiers, and said in a low voice: "If you see someone with a white cloth, take it away!" ”
