Chapter 69: Embezzlement of Silver for Disaster Relief

Under the deterrence of muskets, although there were many hungry people receiving food, the whole was in order.

More than two hours, it is indeed in order!

However, Wang Li thought things simple!

The number of hungry people gathered by the river has not decreased, but is rapidly increasing!

Knowing that the river was distributing grain for disaster relief, countless people dragged their families and brought their mouths, and swarmed from a few miles away, dozens of miles away!

Nima!

Is this still worth it?

I'm afraid that if I hollow out my own home, I won't be able to feed these people!

Isn't the disaster in Shaanxi more serious?

Moreover, it's not the hungry over there, it's the mob!

Yang He, how did he operate?

I heard that when he came to Shaanxi to take office, he didn't bring a single piece of silver or grain!

Why, he was not besieged by the hungry?

Why, he wasn't killed by the rioters?

It's too late to ask for advice now!

I'll go!

It's getting dark, and the number of hungry people is growing rapidly!

If this continues, Lao Tzu will become a starving person!

What to do?

Who told me, what to do now?

Online and more!

Really urgent!

I'll go, whose team is over there?

Why are there muskets?

Could it be that it is the border army of Datong?

Nima!

They dragged the cannons!

It's even better than Lao Tzu's equipment!

Scared the baby to death!

Didn't the intelligence say that there were no rioters in Shanxi?

Didn't you say that the rebels in Shanxi went to Shaanxi?

Depend on!

Lao Tzu is here for disaster relief, not for war!

Remove!

Evacuate!

At the sound of an order, the brocade guards on the shore hurriedly evacuated.

The big boat went down the water, took advantage of the moonlight to travel more than 20 miles, and finally got rid of those hungry people!

"Factory, let's ...... What now? ”

What to do?

What else can I do?

Cold!

glanced at Song Zhe angrily, and then moved his gaze to the outside of the cabin.

The dignified Xichang factory man was reduced to fleeing for his life in panic!

If it is transmitted back to Jingshi, it will not be laughed to death?

Shanxi at this time is too scary!

Or...... Withdraw to the Kyoshi?

No way! You must not go back to Beijing!

After returning to Beijing, even if Zhu Youzhen doesn't take the knife with himself, he will be scolded to death by the official, and the good days are basically over!

If you don't have the identity of the factory company, how can you make money?

But well...... Rioters, no culture!

They definitely don't understand the art of war and the "36 strategies"!

Right!

Art!

Give them a ruined boat, a long-distance close attack, an anti-guest-oriented, and a deception......

Hiding from the world...... No way!

Why don't you give them a blow?

Well, this trick definitely works!

"Song Zhe, send a hundred households of people to go ashore immediately, disguise themselves as people, and spread rumors to me!

Just say...... Just say...... The new governor of Shanxi and the general army of Datong are distributing grain for disaster relief in Datong Right Guard, Pingyuwei, Jingping Institute and Shuozhou! ”

"Factory, what do you mean ......?"

"I'll go, I don't understand? If we don't deceive the hungry people to the west of Datong Province, how can we get ashore?

Remember for me: first deceive them to the west of Datong, and then deceive them to the octagonal institute and Zhenxiwei, all the way to the southwest, all the way to Yansui! ”

"Factory father, you mean to deceive the hungry people to northern Shaanxi?"

"That's right! It is to lead them to northern Shaanxi! I want to see what method Yang He, the trilateral governor, uses to "cultivate vitality"!

In this matter, you choose the most shrewd subordinates to do it, and don't show your stuff!

Don't let anyone know it's us!

Otherwise, it will be difficult to save our heads! ”

"Factory father, those are all ordinary people!

Let's do this, it's not very authentic, right?

Besides, Governor Yang has no grievances with us......"

"If not, what else can be done?

Don't you have a few thousand taels of silver?

Will you be glad to give your money to the people?

Besides, let's trick the hungry people into northern Shaanxi, this is only temporary!

When our grain and grass arrive, we will still distribute some to the people! ”

"That'...... Well......"

Song Zhe was a little reluctant, but he still did what he was ordered.

No way!

Chen Wangting and Song Zhe are their most powerful subordinates!

But, these two guys are martial artists!

It's all rough people!

Not so many fancy!

But it's easy to deceive!

……

The hungry people in Shanxi really have no culture!

Listening to the wind is the rain!

The rumors spread by Jinyiwei will take effect immediately!

Hundreds of thousands of people helped the old and the young, dragged their families and mouths, and went to the southwest in a hulala direction!

Despite this, Wang Li still did not dare to go ashore!

After the hungry people find out, the living will definitely return to Datong!

The city of Datong is strong, and it is difficult for hungry people to kill it!

However, there are too many of them!

If they were outside the city, they wouldn't be able to get their own food and grass!

At that time, you will starve to death in the city!

Therefore, it is better to work on the ship and be ready to run away at any time!

"Factory father, it has been found out: the hungry people who carried muskets and dragged cannons yesterday are indeed the border troops of Datong!

They were scattered because they were not paid, and they were gathered together by famine, and they robbed houses, burned and looted, and did everything. ”

"Hmmm! There are too many hungry people, and we can't help the disaster for the time being!

However, as long as you send some money and food, you can win over this border army! Send someone to do it now! ”

"No!"

……

In the past few days, Wang Li has been like a god!

I have to say, if you have milk, you are a mother!

The deception of the hungry people to northern Shaanxi and the integration of the border army are going very smoothly!

There are two more cannons in his hand, and Wang Li's waist is also stiff!

More Jinyi guards disguised themselves as ordinary people, and soon figured out the situation around Datong Mansion.

The remaining more than 20,000 people are still facing the loess with their backs to the sky!

Alas!

Now that the drought has been like this, no matter how much wheat seeds they save, what harvest will they have?

Alas!

"Chen Anjun, I remember, you are from Shanxi Mayi!"

"Yes, Gonggong!"

"Excellent! The man you bring with a small flag immediately go ashore and convince your fellow villagers to move to the river to farm!

Tell them that they have two meals a day, with or without a harvest!

I can't eat enough, but I can't starve to death! ”

Hearing this, Chen Anjun happily took the order and left.

……

Wang Li still underestimated the natural disasters and the people's desire to survive!

In less than five days, more than 60,000 people gathered on both sides of the Sanggan River!

More than 30,000 of them are from Taiyuan, south of Datong!

Haemorrhage!

Massive hemorrhage!

In order to feed 60,000 people, Wang Li bought countless sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn from all over the south of the Yangtze River!

It's okay, it's okay, these are whole grains!

The price is very cheap compared to rice and wheat!

For a tael of silver, you can buy several stones!

Silver, left hand to right hand!

Deduct from the customs duties that should be paid!

Chop first, play later!

……

In February, on the Sanggan River, big boats come and go!

With the help of Jinyiwei and the border army, simple thatched wooden houses were built one by one, stretching for more than 80 miles!

On both sides of the Sanggan River, there are people fetching water for irrigation!

Every day, the first thing Wang Li does when he gets up is to check the water level of the Sanggan River!

It's okay, it's okay!

The drop in the water level is not very noticeable!

It's okay, it's okay!

The first batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes are sprouting!

The growth is gratifying!

In this era, although there is no chemical fertilizer, Wang Li is still confident in the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes!

If you keep going for a few more months, you should be able to harvest a good harvest!

It's a pity that the corn planted ......

Alas!

I remember that every year in September, it seems to be the season of corn harvesting!

It's not corn season!

Depend on!

More than 10,000 taels of silver, all of them were lost!

It doesn't matter, it's Zhu Youzhen's silver!

"Factory father, the first batch of purchased tobacco leaves has arrived!"

"I'll go! I almost forgot about it! ”

Wang Li knocked his head suddenly, and his eyes rolled: "Liu Dong, find some people to help, move the tobacco leaves to the sand pot, don't get wet for me!"

Recruit some old, weak, sick and disabled, and chop all the tobacco leaves!

How to chop and to what extent, you have experience!

After chopping, it has to be baked, and after baking, it is wrapped into a cylinder, you have seen it, you should know how to operate!

Then tell the people that the wages of ten copper plates a day, plus a sweet potato and a corn cob!

If you want to do it, you are welcome, and if you don't want to do it, you don't want to do it! ”

"Factory father, even if you don't give money, the people will rush to do it!"

"Really?

Then ...... Two copper plates a day, go for it! ”

On the Taishi chair at the bow of the boat, Wang Li closed his eyes again.

Everyone in the government and the opposition knows: the chaotic people are actually the people of the Ming Dynasty!

As long as they can fill their stomachs, no one wants to rebel with their heads raised!

That's true!

But doesn't it take silver?

It is precisely with the silver that the remaining people of Datong and Taiyuan fill their stomachs, and this is the Shunmin!

However, Yang He's guy is in Shaanxi, with empty mouth and white teeth, and dry splitting sentiments, and he is so popular!

It is said that there was a small leader of the rebellion who was recruited by him!

Nima!

He doesn't have any money, what kind of trick is An?

What's even more strange is that very few of the Shanxi people who were deceived to northern Shaanxi came back!

Yang He's guy, what did he use to feed them?

Admire! I really admire!

It's a pity that I don't have the ability like Yang He!

You can only chop first and then embezzle the silver!

But well......

How much tax was collected, no one knows except himself and Wei Zhongxian!

Hey!

In addition to farming, 60,000 people help me roll an average cigarette per month, which is 60,000!

Three thousand packs per month!

Each pack sells 200 copper plates......

No, it's too expensive!

Each pack of a hundred copper plates is three hundred taels of silver......

Nima!

It's a loss-making business!

Each person rolls an average of 100 cigarettes per month, which is 30,000 taels of silver!

The selling price doubled again, and the income was 60,000 taels!

Excluding the costs of 3,000 taels and the profits of agents, at least 50,000 taels of silver will be credited to the account every month!

Hey!

Zhejiang and Fujian, open two more cigarette factories, the transportation cost is lower!

There are 150,000 taels in the account every month!

Hahaha!

The money came pretty quickly!

Yes...... Ahh......h

The cold wind blew, and Wang Li shivered.

Nima!

It's only the middle of September, so why is it so cold?

The situation in Shanxi should be stable, right?

Why don't you apply to Zhu Youzhen and transfer to the south to escape the cold?

He'll agree, right?

"Factory father! Factory Father! ”

"Uh...... What's up? ”

"Gonggong, Li Gao of Liaodong sent a secret letter: Huang Taiji's main cavalry entered the Mongolian Haraqin Department in early September, with a strength of about 60,000!"

"Early September? I'll go!

Does this guy really want to secretly cross Chen Cang? ”

Wang Li bounced up: "What did Yuan Chonghuan do?" ”

"When Li Gao sent the secret letter, Inspector Yuan's Guan Ning army was still stationed in Ningyuan and Jinzhou! Shanhaiguan is still guarded by Zhu Mei, the deputy general of Yuan Inspector's Division! ”

So?

Things aren't good!

He and Yuan Chonghuan have both been on the book, but Zunhua, Jimen, Sanhe, Tongzhou and Jingshi south of the Great Wall have less than 5,000 troops to garrison!

If Huang Taiji really crossed the Great Wall and approached Jingshi along this road, Zhu Youzhen would probably have to go to the coal mountain in advance!

Has the historical Huang Taiji walked this road?

Probably, perhaps, should, probably...... Haven't walked through, have you?

Well, I shouldn't have walked it!

If Huang Taiji knew this road, why did he need Wu Sangui to "rush to the crown and be angry" to switch and clear it?

Could it be that history has really changed?

Alas! I can't care about so much!

"Liu Dong! Shanxi is fully responsible for you!

There must be no civil uprising!

Get me the cigarette factory right! ”

"No!"

"If the water level continues to drop, no matter how much explosives are used, the entire Sangan River will be cut off!

Be sure to make sure you have a good harvest of sweet potatoes and potatoes! ”

"No!"

"If you don't disappoint me, the "Commander of the Jinyi Guard" is yours!

Another reward of 10,000 taels of silver! ”

Hearing this, Liu Dong's face was overjoyed: "Thank you for the cultivation!" Subordinates will never be dishonored! ”

"Good!"

Wang Li didn't dare to stay for half a moment, the big ship didn't stop day and night, and went straight to Jingshi!
