Chapter 234 Bandits rob Fang Shiyu(3/3)
Whether in prosperous times or troubled times, food and gold are the real hard currency.
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "I want to go and get some trouble, but I have been hard work lately and I have no money!"
"Old Zhu, did you make me happy? You don't have money? I personally watched the gold moved into the treasury, and there were more than three million taels. How could you lose money?"
Fang Shiyu felt that he could not deduct more money from Zhu Ziyi's hands, and with the increase in grain production, prices in the Ming Dynasty tended to decline.
What they bought was not a good thing. Although they spent less money and increased in quantity, they still had insufficient investment and shortage of money to get hundreds of warships to go to sea trade.
"I have collected books from all over the world and compiled them together, and I have to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver every year."
"How much money does the imperial court have and how much things it does. The current imperial court is not yet in war. You should just take your little thoughts."
After Zhu Yuanzhang said that, he reached out and touched Fang Shiyu's shoulder and said, "Reconcile with the people, rest and benefit the people, is the right way to do so. If you are in a state of war, you will die if you win or lose. There are not many people in the Ming Dynasty!"
After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang, with the support of the little eunuch, got on the imperial guards and sighed. Zhu Yuanzhang said, "You think about it carefully here, when will you figure it out, and when will you go back!"
"Return to Qianqing Palace!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said to the eunuchs carrying the imperial guards. The little eunuch took steps and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.
Fang Shiyu smiled bitterly, sat on the stone bench, looking at the moon laughing and crying.
"If you don't have money, how can you break it! Wait online, hurry!!!" Fang Shiyu thought in his heart.
If you want to get the money from the treasury, you probably have no chance. But when you turn around, Feng Cheng is about to enter the Yangtze River Basin and load the goods, you will be ready to go. It takes three years to leave, and there are still huge gaps in the goods, which is really crazy.
Walking to the corn forest, Fang Shiyu looked at the corn pole that had just appeared, pulled down a petal, and opened it. Although the corn cob was not yet mature, it was already full of grains.
"Reconcile with the people and rest?" Fang Shiyu murmured to himself.
......
Eastern Palace.
Fang Shiyu was extremely bored and looked at the memorial, with the help of Jing Qing, Jian Yi, Fang Xiaoru, Hou Tai and others, although they were all deeply influenced by Confucianism and were poisoned by tea.
But the cumbersome government affairs are indeed a good player, which greatly gives Fang Shiyu free time and can do other things.
"Your Highness."
Just as Fang Shiyu was holding a brush in his hand and didn't know where to start writing, he couldn't find any mistakes from Jing Qing's comments and was about to change another book, a young eunuch came to Zhan Shi's Mansion and bowed.
"Tell me!"
Fang Shiyu was already doing nothing, bored and lazy, and waved his hand casually and said.
"The Duke of Wei State Xu Huizu asked for a meeting." The little eunuch said softly.
Fang Shiyu brows tightly, glanced at the eunuch and said, "Xu Huizu? He isn't...what has he said?"
"I heard from Duke Wei that it seemed like a bandit from Niushou Mountain who robbed the goods from Duke Wei's mansion, and the other slaves didn't know."
The little eunuch had a cold sweat on his forehead. As Xu Huizu told him, he said it word by word to Fang Shiyu.
Suddenly, Fang Shiyu stood up, looked at Jing Qing and others and said, "Has my goods been robbed by bandits?"
......
Niushou Mountain.
There is only a bandit nest on the entire Niushou Mountain, and this bandit nest is also the largest bandit nest in Jiangning and even Yingtian Prefecture.
Originally, the court did not wipe out them or incorporate them, and was in a state of letting them go without regard for them because these bandits were not unforgivable. Although they sometimes robbed their families, they have been keeping a close eye on them so far, not tying people or killing people. In this way, the court has turned a blind eye to them, closed their eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to them.
Although it is said to be 8,000, most of them are old, weak, women and children. Only 1,800 real warriors can go out to rob.
They neither could pose any threat to the court nor did they cause any trouble to the local public security. The most terrifying thing is that this group of bandits would send a large amount of money to the court every year.
And it is unknown whose pocket this money has entered.
On this day, the bandit leader, Chen Hao, led a group of brothers to hijack Chen Yuanwai's goods and directly told Chen Yuanwai the ransom.
A million guan Baochao, judging from the current grain price, a million guan Baochao is more than 100,000 stones of grain, which can support a real Niushou Village, thousands of people for two years.
Chen Hao was full of energy and sat in the lobby with his brothers. I don’t know where they came from, the kind of firearm that he still stayed when Zhu Yuanzhang had just become famous.
However, don’t underestimate this combroach. When Zhu Yuanzhang fought against the Yuan army, the combroach also played a huge role, and the combroach was even more invincible when fighting in the mountains.
"Brother, the disaster is wrong. The disaster is wrong!" At this time, a man named Zhao Li, dressed in an associate scholar, came to the hall of Niu Shou Mountain Village with a hurry on his face. Looking at them singing and dancing, as if waiting for a happy life to come, Zhao Li directly interrupted their banquet.
Chen Hao waved his hand, shook his head and walked over with a wine pot and said, "Good brother, you have read books, how could you make such a fuss!"
"My brother has done too much and never happened to anything. Where did the disaster come from?"
Chen Hao looked at Zhao Li with dissatisfaction. Zhao Li was a scholar and was considered to be famous. Zhao Li could study, read, and get a scholar.
But they supported him in Niu Shou Shanzhai and fully supported him in taking the exam for fame.
Zhao Li hurriedly pulled Chen Hao to the side and said, "Brother, hurry up and find a way to run away, otherwise it will be too late!"
It is because Zhao Li has read books, read and read words, and knows some great principles that he realizes how terrifying this matter has been.
"Start up, there is no disaster. The sky falls. Brother will carry it for you. What are you afraid of?" Chen Hao waved his hand and pushed Zhao Li away, holding the wine pot and said, "Switch on the music, continue dancing!"
Seeing everyone's debauchery, everyone was intoxicated by this emotion. They didn't open for three years and had been open for three years. However, Zhao Li knew that opening this time meant that the mountain village of Niushou Mountain had been targeted by the court.
Their bandits' nests can ensure that they can survive for so long, not stealing the court's things, and not opposing the court, which also plays a crucial role.
Now, they have snatched the goods from the Duke of Wei. Where is the Duke of Wei? The founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and the ones with the highest status.
Zhao Li stomped his feet in a hurry, rushed into the crowd with blurred eyes, and pushed Chen Hao forward with both hands. Chen Hao, who was staggering and singing and dancing, almost fell to the ground.
Turning around, he kicked Zhao Li three feet away. Chen Hao kicked him out with one kick.
"Big, my brother offers you food, drink, study, and achieve fame. You are going to kill my brother now!" Chen Hao widened his eyes.
The blood-covered eyes were obviously blinded by alcohol, and even Chen Hao was controlled by alcohol.
Every word and action has long since disappeared from the usual caution and caution.
Perhaps this time, the big robbers got too many good things back, and it was also great.
"Brother, do you know what you robbed?" Zhao Li shouted loudly.
Chen Hao said, "The best porcelain, tea, and silk are all good things!"
"Then have you ever thought about what kind of family background in Chen Yuanwai, where did he get so many good things? Jingdezhen's blue and white porcelain is a royal item dedicated to the royal family!"
There was blood left at the corner of Zhao Li's mouth, and he stood up swayingly, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth hard, and said, "Brother, there are two ways to go now."
"Or, before the court takes action, return the things back, and perhaps more than 8,000 lives on the mountain can be saved."
"Otherwise, when the court sends troops to encircle and suppress, can you only have a hundred or so bullets, and cannons, block the court's muskets and cannons?"
After Zhao Li finished speaking, he left with his sleeves.
The singing and dancing people also stopped at this moment.
Chen Hao grabbed Geely, the second leader, who was beside him, and asked, "Didn't this be fine? Why is this happening?"
"That guy Zhao Chen is indeed saying that this batch of goods is fine. The goods are all good things, but they are all private property of Chen Yuanwai, so the court will not interfere too much."
Geely was already scared at this time and said in a panic.
"Brother, I'm afraid he will do something bad. At worst, we will rebel. Before the court takes action, can he still bully the Emperor of Zhu? "
"That's right, it's reversed!"
"We want people to have people, we need money, we need food, we take Jiangning and force Yingtian. Those who oppose the Zhu family will follow the clouds and scenery!"
"Brother, why don't we go back?"
Geely was trembling all over, and he didn't know why it turned out like this. Now, they actually kidnapped things from the court, and this matter will sooner or later go to Yingtian Mansion.
At that time, can the officials they offer to protect them? I am afraid that if you don’t clear your relationship early, the clay Buddha will be unable to protect yourself if you cross the river.
Chen Hao gritted his teeth and stared at Geely with fierce eyes and said, "This operation was planned by Zhao Chen from beginning to end. He had long known that the family surnamed Chen was doing business for the royal family. Let us rob the Chen family, and then use the hands of the court and kill people with a knife! Wolf ambition!"
"Brother, I've said a long time ago that Zhao Chen shouldn't have let go of that bastard. Now he's stabbed him. What should we do?"
"Yes, brother, come up with an idea!"
"What else can I do? Get the things loaded and deliver them to Mr. Chen. Go quickly, hurry up!"
Rebellion? Chen Hao never had this idea, to rob others of wealth, help his own poverty, and let the people in this village eat and drink enough. If you want to rebel, don’t say that you are just under the nose of the imperial capital, even if you are thousands of miles away from the capital, relying on a hundred clamps and four or five hundred people to fight hard?
They couldn't even take down a county town.
"The boss, the boss, is not good, is not good, is gone, is gone!"
