The first thirty-six chapters worry about the country and the people, Hong Chengchou
Chapter 136 Worrying about the country and the people Hong Chengchou
Yun Zhao was stunned for a moment about Hong Chengchou's request and then smiled and said, "It's so good, but if you transport the grain, I will sell the grain from Shangnan County to Huang Yongfa."
Hong Chengchou seemed to be fascinated by sweet potatoes. After eating one, he picked up another one and continued to eat it. He didn't seem to hear Yun Zhao's suggestions.
"Twenty percent of the income should be enough for you. Don't be too greedy. I want to give many people a share of money."
Yun Zhao said: "My interests will be taken from Huang Yongfa, and you will take away your interests in full."
After taking the last bite, Hong Chengchou slowly stood up and said, "The food Huang Yongfa bought from you did not reach the border army."
Yun Zhao said: "If you kill the tiger's mouth and don't intercept it, this batch of grain will enter the grassland."
Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "You are a sensible person. If you are older, we can do big things together."
"What can stimulate you to this look? You don't even care about the order you value the most?"
Hong Chengchou slowly sat down and said to Yun Zhao: "Do you have any wine?"
Qian Shao brought the wine soon.
Hong Chengchou said: "I really can't find someone to talk to when I drink a drink with me."
Yun Zhao sat down, picked up the wine glass and clinked a glass of wine with Hong Chengchou, and then drank it all in one go.
"I have a bad alcohol tolerance. If you have any complaints, just say it quickly, so as not to get drunk later."
Hong Chengchou drank three glasses of wine in succession, then he sniffed a sip of wine and said, "After Yang Hao's defeat in Liaodong, among the several people sent by the imperial court to manage Liaodong, according to my observation, there is almost no wine bag.
Xiong Tingbi was ordered to inspect Liaodong, and he appointed Yang Hao as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War to conquer Liaodong, recruited exiles, purified military orders, built chariots, cured firearms, dredged moats and repaired cities, and defended Dagu.
During his tenure as the governor of Liaodong, he supervised the construction of military weapons, repaired castles, dispatched troops and generals to guard the important locations of the rushing camp, helped each other, and defended Dagu. He also visited Shenyang and Fushun to compete with each other, and calmed the hearts of the people.
Even if there was a defeat in Liaoyang, it was Wang Huazhen who escaped first, which was not wrong."
Yun Zhao said: "I don't understand these things, I don't know what to say, you can continue!"
Hong Chengchou didn't seem to care about Yun Zhao's evaluation, and he didn't seem to want to get an answer from Yun Zhao, and continued: "During the Tianqi period of Sun Chengzong, he was in charge of the fourth year of Liaodong.
Nine big cities, forty-five fortresses, 110,000 soldiers and horses were recruited, twelve chariot camps, five water camps, two firearms camps, eight forward van camps, and millions of equipment used to make armor, military equipment, bows, arrows, cannons and stones in wars.
The territory was expanded by 400 miles, the land was expanded by 5,000 hectares of land, and the annual income was 150,000 dan of military rations.
Do you think doing something like this is a merit?"
Yun Zhao nodded and said, "It's rare!"
Hong Chengchou said: "I think so too."
After saying that, he drank another glass of wine, and Yun Zhao also raised his glass to touch his lips.
"Yuan Chonghuan has the ability, and he won consecutively in his early years." Ning Yuan and Liaoyuan's two great victoryes really made us excited and refreshed at that time.
Later, later... forget it, it is impossible to distinguish between true and false.
Which of the above three people is not a great man of the generation?
It’s a pity that they were all ruined on this land in Liaodong.”
"Hey, Sun Chengzong is now heading into Daling River. Why did you say that he was ruined? Could it be..."
Yun Zhao picked up the wine glass and took the initiative to touch Hong Chengchou.
"That's right, in July this year, because Gao Di had previously withdrawn the Ningjin defense line, Youtun, Dalinghe and other cities were destroyed, Sun Chengzong sent people to rebuild it.
In August, Huang Taiji suddenly came to siege. Sun Chengzong rushed to Jinzhou and sent Wu Xiang and Song Wei to rescue... Unfortunately, Wu Xiang and Song Wei were defeated by Huang Taiji in Changshan.
Only Zu Dashou, who was alone in guarding Daling River, was left.
Now, Huang Taiji has been besieging the city for more than two months, and there is not much food and grass in his army. Even if he eats war horses or people, he will not last for half a month.
If you don’t leave October, Zu Dashou will surrender to Jiannu…”
As Hong Chengchou spoke, he drank another glass of wine. After drinking it in one sip, he had a temper from some unknown reason to throw the cup heavily on the ground, picked up the wine pot and drank it hard.
Yun Zhao and Hong Chengchou finished drinking, grabbed a meatball from the plate and said to Hong Chengchou: "How about we make a bet?"
Hong Chengchou raised his head, looked at Yun Zhao with his slightly red eyes and said with a smile: "What bet do you want to make?"
Yun Zhao said: "I bet on Zu Dashou's surrender this time, even if I surrender, I will be a fraudulent surrender!"
Hong Chengchou laughed and said, "You don't know who Huang Taiji is."
Yun Zhao also laughed and said, "You, who have gone from being promoted to a minority, have no idea about local tyrants like us."
Hong Chengchou saw Yun Zhao with his eyes slanted, saying, "What's the solution?"
Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "This is the secret of people like us. I can't tell you. You only need to know that as long as Zu Dashou's old nest, Jinzhou, is not lost, he will not surrender. Even if he surrenders, he will be a fraudulent surrender!"
"What are you betting on?" Hong Chengchou did not ask, but directly asked what the bet was.
"I want half of the food you snatched from Huang Yongfa next time!"
"What if you lose?"
"I will give you 100,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes to replenish your military rations."
Hong Chengchou stood up shakingly, smacked Yun Zhao, and spit out a sip of wine and said, "I hope you can win!"
After saying that, he was helped by his relatives to walk out of the Yun family mansion and took a carriage toward the sunset.
Yun Zhao looked at Hong Chengchou who was leaving and sighed softly, "No matter how strong you are, don't lose it, you have to support me until I grow up, right?"
It was not until Hong Chengchou disappeared that Yun Zhao returned home.
Yun Meng hurried in and said, "Huang Yongfa still wants to buy 30,000 dan of grain. We don't have one. Should we refuse him?"
Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "Don't refuse. Tell him that there are still some stored grains in Shangnan County, which should be enough for 30,000 dan and can be sold to him. However, you must also tell him that this is the food for the people of Shangnan County.
The price will increase by 80%!
You also have to tell him that we are helping him with our lives."
Yun Meng's hand trembled and said, "We cannot take away the food of the people!"
Yun Zhao looked at Yun Meng and said, "I got 30,000 dan of grain from Hong Chengchou, but this batch of grain cannot be given to Huang Yongfa, so he can only pour it from the people of Shangnan County."
"How could Hong Chengchou have food?"
Yun Meng screamed in shock. Seeing Yun Zhao smiling, he was shocked and said in shock: "You mean?"
Yun Zhao said: "I didn't say anything."
Yun Meng only felt his legs weak. Fortunately, he was rich and pushed the chair over to him so that he didn't sit on the ground.
After calming for a moment, Yun Meng stood up and said, "I'm going to tell Huang Yongfa, Xiao Zhao, will the people you deal with in the future be traitors like Hong Chengchou?"
Yun Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe it is better than Hong Chengchou."
“What about?”
"For example, you will have to deal with Sun Chuanting in a few years!"
Yun Meng said tremblingly: "It's that..."
"That's right, Sun Chuanting, who caught you to build roads and cast all our weapons into hammers, hoes and other tools."
Yun Zhao saw a layer of white sweat seeping out from Yun Meng's forehead in an instant, and whispered: "Don't worry, Uncle Meng, I'm there."
Yun Meng nodded silently, tried his best to sweat, and went to the flower hall to discuss the matter of selling grain.
Qian Shaoshao whispered: "Is this Sun Chuanting even more powerful than Hong Chengchou?"
Yun Zhao whispered: "Each person has his own strengths, he is a great figure of his generation. He is considered a very powerful figure."
Qian Shaoshao smashed his mouth and said, "Are all we meet monsters? Hong Chengchou is so powerful, and Sun Chuanting has captured Uncle Meng and the others. What should he be so powerful?"
Yun Zhao laughed and said, "Fighting with the sky is endless, fighting with the earth is endless, fighting with the people is endless!
If you don’t find some powerful people to fight, how can you show us, the group of people who want to do big things?"
Qian Shaoshao was startled by Yun Zhao's gloomy laughter and quickly poured him a cup of tea: "Hurry your throat, and you can laugh out loud."
After drinking tea, Yun Zhao planned to take Qian Shaoshao to Yushan Academy to see Qian Duoduo. This dead child has been so domineering recently. It is said that she is almost in trouble on Yushan.
As for the deal between Yun Meng and Huang Yongfa, he didn't care. Huang Yongfa had no choice this time. Even though he knew that this batch of grain was originally bought, in the face of reality, he would rather pay for it again than make a fuss with Yun Zhao.
Sure enough, just as Yun Zhao and Qian Shaoshou rode on the donkey on the road, Yun Meng hurriedly ran out, grabbed the reins of Yun Zhao's mount, and whispered: "Huang Yongfa is so grateful!"
Yun Zhao smiled and said to Yun Meng again: "Uncle Meng, if you like this Huang Yongfa, just talk more. This time, he will never have the life to return to our house to buy food."
