Chapter 26: Hou Ye's Clever Plan
Hearing this, a trace of anger appeared on Qianfeng's face, and he opened his mouth to ask: "Zhang Mazi, you didn't report the name of my Hou Mansion?" ”
"I said it, but the one who took the lead was Zhao Tiancheng who had contradicted the Hou Ye before! He said that there was a problem with the merchants of the Western Regions who sold slaves, and he suspected that these slaves were spies in the Western Regions, and I knew that they did it on purpose, so they didn't give it, but they were outnumbered, and my brothers and I couldn't beat them, so they were beaten up, and the slaves were also taken away by them. ”
After listening to this, Qianfeng didn't have to think about it to know that this must have been instructed by Zhou Chaozheng, otherwise a mere nine-rank governor, how could he dare to do something to the people of the Yundian Marquis Mansion?
"What a Zhou Chaozheng! Looks like you haven't had enough of it! ”
A trace of gloom flashed in Qianfeng's eyes, and he ordered: "Zhang Mazi, instruct the treasury to give those injured family members a daily subsidy of twenty taels of silver, so that the family members can take care of them!" We can't swallow this in vain! ”
"By the way, let the treasury evenly produce a thousand stones of grain, I have a heavy use."
This time when he went to the city of southern Yunnan, Qianfeng heard the soldiers at the gate of the city chewing on the root of their tongues, saying that the warehouses in the southern Yunnan province were short of food, and there might be a famine recently.
So Qianfeng planned to take this opportunity to supply a batch of grain, and finally make a fuss about this matter!
"It's Master Hou."
Although he didn't know what Qianfeng wanted food for, Zhang Mazi still did as he was told.
Then the subordinates in the treasury got the information, and the subordinates naturally didn't dare not disobey the orders of their own lord, but before going to complete the things arranged by Qianfeng, he still reported to Zheng Yun at this time.
After Zheng Yun learned about this, she frowned, not knowing what her nephew wanted to do, so she took the maid to the courtyard where Qianfeng was.
As soon as he arrived in front of Qianfeng, Zheng Yun asked directly: "Feng'er, why did you send a thousand stones of grain to Yunnan Mansion?" ”
Qianfeng said mysteriously without hurrying: "Naturally, it is to find some trouble for Zhou Chaozheng, uncle and aunt can rest assured, I am not showing favor to Zhou Chaozheng." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Yun was even more puzzled, she couldn't understand, how did sending food become trouble?
She frowned and asked seriously, "You tell me honestly!" What's your plan this time? Otherwise, this batch of grain will not be able to leave the Yundian Marquis Mansion! ”
Helplessly, in order to make the plan go smoothly, Qianfeng could only reveal some information about his plan.
"Uncle, do you remember the group of bandits who caused trouble in my fiefdom before? Not only did they kill people but also robbed of food, which shows that these bandits are also short of food and grass! When I sent this 1,000 stone of grain to Yunnan Mansion, I publicized it to the outside world, and took out all my family funds to offer 10,000 stones, what do you think those bandits will think if they know about this? ”
"What do you think?" Zheng Yun was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked.
"When the bandits who made trouble received the news and knew that I had raised 10,000 stone of grain from the Marquis of Yundian Mansion and sent it out, they would feel that the food in my fiefdom had decreased, and they would not think about grabbing food in my fiefdom. It can not only reduce the rebellion of bandits in the fiefdom, but also allow them to shift their attention to the southern Yunnan Mansion, so that the Hou Mansion will have a lot less trouble. ”
After listening to Qianfeng's entire plan, Zheng Yun couldn't help but marvel at Qianfeng's calculations, thinking about it, although he lost a thousand stones of grain, it brought a lot of benefits.
Zheng Yun nodded and said, "There is some truth to it, but ......"
"Uncle, our Hou Mansion is surrounded by enemies, and the best way to transfer the trouble is to transfer it!"
Qianfeng said bluntly, his eyes were full of determination.
"Then try it according to your method, but the cost of food and grass will have to be paid by you."
"No problem, Uncle Xie!"
Qianfeng arched his hand.
Soon, the grain of 1,000 stone was smoothly sent to Yunnan Province.
Zhou Chaozheng was still waiting in the mansion for Qianfeng to come to the door to ask for someone, but he didn't expect Qianfeng to wait, but waited for the good news from the government soldiers.
After learning that the Marquis of Yundian Mansion had sent a thousand stones of grain, Zhou Chaozheng couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh: "Hahaha! It seems that I overestimated the courage of this Qianfeng, and captured the slaves from this mansion, and he can only show goodwill with this mansion! ”
In addition to being happy, Zhou Chaozheng ordered the soldiers to hold a banquet in the southern Yunnan Mansion to celebrate!
At the same time, after Qianfeng released the news that he had offered 10,000 stone of grain, it was exactly as he expected, and the group of bandits who had been making trouble in the Hou Mansion fiefdom before received the news.
On the top of a hill, under the cover of towering trees, there is a cottage.
There is a plaque hanging on the door of this cottage, on which three words are written on it, Black Wind Village!
The 10,000 grains offered to the Marquis of Yundian were passed on by the bandits by word of mouth, and finally returned to their base camp.
In the village, on a chair made of tiger skin, there is a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist.
This person has a bald head, a long scar spreads from the top of his head to the position of his chin, and his face is not a good stubble at first glance, he is the owner of Heifeng Village, and he is also the leader of this group of bandits, Du San!
Du San played with the big knife in his hand and slowly spoke: "The Marquis of Yundian Mansion is generous, just say that this 10,000 stone of grain will be sent, which of you goes, Guan Zhou Chao is asking for grain, and he wants 3,000 stones, and it just so happens that we don't have much food to grab." ”
A scrawny and pointy-mouthed man walked out.
"Big brother, leave this matter to me."
Anton bowed his head slightly, and he said, "Okay, thin monkey, this matter will be left to you." ”
The thin monkey left, this group of bandits in Heifeng Village is not simple, the number can be said to be the largest in the whole southern Yunnan, and the force is also the largest group, they do a lot of evil, even if it is for food, they dare to slaughter the village and grab food unscrupulously.
As the owner of the village, Du San will arrange for someone to go to Zhou Chaozheng to ask for food, not because Du San feels that he is the best bandit in southern Yunnan, but because he and Zhou Chao are colluding behind his back.
The previous attack on Lijia Village in the fiefdom of the Marquis of Yundian was instigated by Zhou Chaozheng in retaliation, so the officers and soldiers stationed in southern Yunnan nearby would be indifferent.
The thin monkey hurried to the southern Yunnan city, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw that the defenders at the gate were eating a large bowl of rice, and there were meat dishes and meat.
Seeing this scene, he concluded that the Marquis of Yundian Mansion had sent 10,000 stone of food, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even brighter.
When he arrived at Yunnan Mansion, he saw a banquet inside, the thin monkey swallowed his saliva greedily, and found a familiar soldier in the palace to report it, and was taken from the small door to find Zhou Chaozheng.
Entering the house in the courtyard of the mansion, the thin monkey saw Zhou Chaozheng, and he immediately said respectfully to Zhou Chaozheng: "Lord Governor, we heard that the Marquis of Yundian Mansion sent 10,000 stone grain to the government office, and there are many people in our village to eat, so the villain will come to you to borrow 3,000 stone of grain, and we will be full of food, so we can serve the adults!" ”
