: Can only count on the robbers

But there is no way out. Now Qu Zengren said to Tong Guoyong: "Boss Tong, everyone can trust you, so they followed you to Denglai to jump into the fire pit. Now if we want to jump out of the fire pit, we may have to cooperate with Mr. Liu!"

Tong Guoyong suspected that this edict was invited by Liu Peng, after all, this edict was too beneficial to Liu Peng.

However, his relationship with the capital in the province clearly told him that this edict that harms others and does not benefit himself was definitely the work of the Heng Palace. Since the Heng Palace does not give Liaodong Han a way to survive, don’t blame the Liaodong Han Dynasty for using the tricks of the three routes: "Yes, let’s find Mr. Liu to cooperate with you, and you can discuss any conditions!"

Anyway, they have been forced to a dead end. As long as they can deal with the Heng Palace, the Liaodong grain merchants who have no way out have made up their minds to cooperate with all the enemies of the Heng Palace!

Xing Da was also forced to the dead end. Xing Da never dreamed that such an edict would disrupt his overall plan. He cursed at Zhou Duda beside him: "Are your Heng Palace a pig's brain? You can think of such a way to harm others and not benefit yourself. You should tell me how we should deal with the aftermath!"

Zhou Duda apologized to Xing Da: "Master Xing, you are good, do good people to do it to the end, and help us Hengwang Mansion again. Besides, this is really not our fault. We have indeed requested strict investigation and ban on the sea, but that was the case in August this year. At that time, weren't there many Liaodong merchant ships coming to Shandong?"

Zhou Duda said with great thoughts about the cause and effect of this edict: "So our prince thought that our three eastern prefectures could handle it themselves. The arrival of the merchant ships in Liaodong was not only useless, but also made the problem more complicated, so he put it in the question book."

"As a result, the question book that the prince gave to the Silijian has always been completely uninformed. At that time, we princes had forgotten that there was something like this. But now the imperial edict was suddenly issued, and we were caught off guard!"

If this edict came out in August, it would be a great benefit for the Heng Palace, which could keep the rice and beans from Liaodong. However, the time is completely wrong, which means that the retreat of Liaodong grain merchants will definitely force Liaodong grain merchants to a desperate situation, which will completely harm others and not benefit oneself.

As for why this edict was delayed until the end of the year, Xing Da understood how complicated the bureaucratic process was. Not to mention how many months it took, or how many years it took, Xing Da had seen several times. It is estimated that this edict took a long official document trip between the Silis and the Cabinet and the Six Ministry. It has been a matter of relocation.

Therefore, Xing Da immediately asked, "Since this edict was invited by your Heng Palace, can your Heng Palace invite this edict back?"

Zhou Duda could only shake his head and said, "Master Xing, the matter is not that simple. This edict is equivalent to the golden mouth of Your Majesty. If you don't joke, how can you change the order every day? Besides, we just want to take the edict back. I'm afraid the province and Dengzhou Prefecture will not agree!"

When Xing Da knew that the officials in the province received this imperial edict, they were so excited that they all felt that the problems of the three eastern prefectures could be solved. This was equivalent to Shandong getting nearly one million stones of rice beans without spending a penny. After receiving the imperial edict, the province immediately sent two elite officials to Denglai Prefectures to supervise the maritime ban.

Therefore, even if the Heng Palace wants to take back the edict, the province will definitely not agree. When Xing Da thinks of this, he finds more and more trouble: "In this case, we will probably have to fight with Long Gu in Laizhou Prefecture with real swords and guns!"

Zhou Duda also knew that the Heng Palace had committed a fatal problem in this matter, so he could only help the Heng Palace make up for it as much as possible: "Our prince and the prince said that as long as we fight with Longkou, Master Xing can do whatever he wants, he needs people, money, food, and all the weapons and equipment will be prepared for Boss Xing!"

Xing Da shook his head and said, "My requirements should not be high. I will notify me of this sudden attack next time your Heng Palace will carry out such a sudden attack. I will at least notify me. Is it a little prepared?"

Xing Daken said this, Zhou Duda believes that it is the best ending.

After all, the time of this edict came too inappropriate, and the officials in the capital were too nonsense. Not to mention Xing Da, even Prince Heng did not expect such an ending, and directly forced the Liaodong grain merchants to Liu Peng's thief road. Therefore, he could only say: "Since Mr. Xing said that, it would be the best! I wonder what you will do next?"

Xing Da said murderously: "Of course I will teach this thief Liu Peng a lesson!"

This edict did not change any substantial meaning to the officials and citizens of Qingzhou Prefecture.

Therefore, as the number one gentry in Qingzhou Prefecture, Zhong Yu said with a serious expression: "Brother Wei, do you think..."

"It will be useless to bring fire to get fire. Fortunately, Zhao Xunzhang has agreed to recommend Liu Peng and Liushu County Magistrate. Our Qingzhou Prefecture always has some hope."

The person who spoke to Zhong Yuzheng was Cao Yu, another top gentry in Qingzhou Prefecture. His courtesy name was Yongwei. He was a Jinshi in the 29th year of Wanli. He was once the head of the Ministry of Revenue, a military candidate for the Ministry of War, and a doctor in Fang. Before he retired, he also served as a political assistant in Henan. Although his reputation in Dengzhou was not as good as Zhong Yuzheng, he was not inferior to Zhong Yuzheng in terms of fame and fortune.

The Cao family in Yidu was once lost and was adopted by his relative Jiang family, so he changed his surname to Jiang family. However, in the Wanli period, the Cao family had a prosperous family, and a brother and three Jinshi became an eternal legend in Qingzhou Prefecture, so he changed it back to Cao family.

Their eldest brother Cao Huang was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli. Cao Huang's first Jinshi changed his brothers back to his original surname. In the 29th year of Wanli, Cao Yan and his second brother Cao Lian passed the Jinshi. The Cao family in Qingzhou immediately became the first class wealthy family in Qingzhou Prefecture.

However, although Cao Yu once participated in politics in Henan, there were fire pits everywhere in the officialdom. Cao Yu was unprepared and was forced to live in vain. However, their family was a three-jinshi in one school and had a great influence in Qingzhou Prefecture. The food appearance of the Hengwang Mansion this time was really ugly, so Zhong Yu and Cao Yu, the two gentry in Qingzhou Prefecture, could have such an opportunistic conversation.

"It would be great if Zhao Xun is willing to recommend Inspection Liu!" Zhong Yu nodded repeatedly: "As long as the position of Zhaoyuan County Magistrate can run down, our Qingzhou Prefecture can live tens of thousands more people."

Just when he said this, Zhong Yuzheng was a little embarrassed, but he had to repeat his thoughts: "Brother Wei, I know you look down on this inspector Liu Pengliu. I also know that this inspector Liu is a rampant and a first-class person with a hero and a thief, but Qingzhou's relief is already a must-have! "

"Brother Wei can look down on my old face, but our Qingzhou Prefecture has thousands of miles of land and millions of creatures are waiting to die. Who else can I count on besides hoping for a ranger like Liu Peng!"

Cao Yu shook his head repeatedly and said, "Old senior, you are joking. You have walked more bridges than I have walked. I understand your good intentions. Now the Heng Palace has blocked the grain road, and it is impossible to get a grain of rice except for the government's relief grain. It is indeed a must-have for Liu Shao. If not, how could I ask Zhao Xunzhang to recommend Mr. Liu in the same year."

Cao Guan and Cao Lian were Jinshis in the 29th year of Wanli, and Shandong Inspector Zhao Riheng was also a Jinshi in the 29th year of Wanli. In the Ming Dynasty, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, Cao Guan and Zhao Xunzhao have always had very close contacts.

When the first batch of rice beans were allocated in Shandong's relief this year, there was no share of Qingzhou Prefecture. Although I don't know if the Heng Palace was causing trouble, Cao Yu immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Xunzhang as a gentry in Qingzhou in the same year, winning thousands of stones of rice beans for Qingzhou Prefecture.

Although the Heng Palace blocked all the grain channels in Qingzhou Prefecture, Cao Yu still ran around and asked several relief sects from the province. Although the Heng Palace was ruthless everywhere, he still did not dare to take action on the relief sects pulled from the province. Therefore, Cao Yu can be said to have gained a glimmer of vitality for Qingzhou Prefecture.

This time, Zhao Xunzhang was willing to recommend Liu Peng. It was Cao Yu, the old man who made great efforts in the same year. Zhao Riheng was willing to recommend Liu Peng. Although Cao Yu still had a suspicious attitude towards Liu Peng, he knew the most urgent matter: "Now, as long as you can transport rice to Qingzhou, let alone illegal people like Liu Peng, I will recognize even the traitor!"

The situation was really impatient. The Cao family in Yidu was a small clan and the population was not strong. The Cao Yu branch once reached the point where he changed his surname to Jiang, but it did not mean that there were fewer people in Cao Yu who wanted to help him.

In the past of life, no one has a group of relatives, friends and hometowns? What's more, Zhong Yuzheng has begun to accommodate clans and more than a thousand families. As a first-class family in Qingzhou Prefecture, the Cao family cannot be too much more than Zhong Yuzheng, so it is also accepting clan family members.

However, after the Heng Palace cut off all the grain channels, the cost of doing this was too high. The rice stored in Cao Yu's home was gone, but more and more relatives and friends came to join him. However, Cao Yu could not keep them out and could only try to get cheap rice beans from the market.

But now the rice price in Qingzhou starts at ten taels, and the Cao family in Yidu has three Jinshi. After decades of ups and downs, they have saved a lot of family businesses. However, when they encounter such rice prices, they are in pain. Although they gritted their teeth and bought dozens of stones from the market, the rice price is too high. Cao Yu can only place all his hopes on Liu Peng.

Speaking of this, Cao Yu said angrily: "Now our Qingzhou Prefecture costs ten taels of silver for a stone of rice, and many times it is more than ten taels of silver. There are hundreds of thousands of stones of Liaodong rice beans in Denglai Prefecture, but in the end, it is a good thing that even a grain of rice cannot be transported into our Yidu. The rules of the Ming Dynasty are so strange. The government cannot be reliable, the royal palace cannot be reliable, and the Jinshi cannot be reliable. Now we can only count on a robber!"
