Chapter 7 History is back on track(1/2)

"What is Zhang Bingzhong going to Wuchang, Suizhou to do? He should go to Shuzhong!"

Yun Zhao put down the brush in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows and felt that these bandits were not obedient at all, and did not follow the set route at all.

"Is this the result of his reading "The Art of War" for a whole year?"

Xu Wu thought, "It's nothing more than the real and real. The real and real and real. He will eventually go to Shu, but now he needs to save money, grain and recruit soldiers and horses.

Li Hongji was in Nanyang. Half a year ago, Xiong Wencan forced Zhang Bingzhong to withdraw from Xiangyang and gather in Gucheng, which was more dangerous.

Luo Rucai's men were also divided and gathered in Yunyang.

The two-headed lion and horse guard should be in Suizhou.

Li Hongji was surrounded by ten routes of the government army in Henan. Although he broke the encirclement, he was unwilling to enter the locust plague area. He walked around there and absorbed more than 300,000 people and then turned to Nanyang, hoping to get closer to Zhang Bingzhong, Luo Rucai, and Ma Shouying, with the purpose of absorbing these people and forming a larger force.

It is obvious that Zhang Bingzhong, Luo Rucai, and Ma Shouying are very cautious about Li Hongji. When they heard that Li Hongji's troops entered Xiangyang, they ran away and did not want to be annexed by Li Hongji."

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "This is all things that have happened. Just follow the plan. What do you mean by this?"

Xu Wu thought and said a little embarrassedly: "The deal with Zhang Bingzhong has been made."

Yun Zhao looked at Xu Wu and thought, "This is nothing, I can't hide it from others."

Xu Wu wanted to smile bitterly and said, "Originally, we thought Zhang Bingzhong would continue to endure when he arrived in Gucheng. We were not going to break off contact with Zhang Bingzhong before we got all the wealth he robbed. After all, it was profitable to do business with him.

However, Zhang Bingzhong had only arrived in Gucheng for two months and launched a sudden attack on Gucheng, defeating the garrison of Gucheng day and night.

He killed the county magistrate Ruan Zhidian and the inspector censor Lin Mingqiu.

The city walls were demolished, the trunks were robbed and the prisoners were imprisoned. The military supervisor Zhang Dajing and Ma Tingbao were forced to surrender.

When this guy left Gucheng and headed for Suizhou, he threw a little bit of a broken jar... The list of officials from all over the government, numbers and time, requested bribes from him, were written in detail on the walls inside and outside the city, and your name was third!"

Yun Zhao frowned and said, "It seems that this guy is going to break up with us this time."

Xu Wu wanted to scratch his hair and said, "Liu Dashou and the others were too ruthless in blackmailing Zhang Bingzhong?"

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be ruthless. You are ranked third if you didn't see my name. Oh, by the way, who are the first two?"

"Yang Sichang, Wang Guozhen!"

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "I'm wrong, Your Majesty should be the first."

"Now our reputation is a terrible street. Countless censors impeached us, saying that we had extorted too much and forced Zhang Bingzhong to rebel.

There was another voice saying, whoever made a mistake should be calmed down, and the spearhead was pointed at us, with the obvious intention, and we were asked to send troops."

Yun Zhao laughed silently when he heard this, pressed his hands on the table and said, "I can send troops, the question is, do they dare to let me send troops?

Our army left Hangu Pass, and there was a flat land in front of us, and we could go directly to Qinhuangdao without any obstacles. Do they dare?

Hahaha……"

Yun Zhao laughed to the sky, and Xu Wuying laughed too.

During the Chongzhen period, there were already two subjects in Shaanxi, and no one passed the Jinshi.

This is the most direct view of the people of Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province towards the imperial court.

The world of the Ming Dynasty was still messy, not beyond Yun Zhao's expectations. The bureaucratic system that Yun Zhao built for ten years was running smoothly. They controlled everything they could reach through the countless tentacles that stretched out from Lantian County.

And Yun Zhao is the big spider lying in the middle of the spider web.

The Ming Dynasty world still exists on the verge of collapse.

In four months, locusts flew from the grassland to the capital... Wherever they went, there was no real grass growing.

In October, the emperor mourned the heaven in the Hall of Prayer for the New Year, and Si Tianjian said: Good!

Fifteen days later, all the locusts disappeared.

The emperor was quite content.

Yun Zhao felt that it was not that God had spared the emperor, but that winter was coming, and locusts should die, which was a natural law.

Since the emperor believed that this was the embodiment of his unity between man and nature, all the officials of the Ming Dynasty expressed their congratulations to the emperor, Yun Zhao naturally could not avoid the common people, which made Xu Wu want to write a tribute to him and sent it to the capital.

From autumn to the first snowfall, Yun Zhao did not wait for the imperial court to order him to be famous. On the contrary, Yang Sichang received a new appointment. He came to the Dahu area and was in charge of Nanjing to command the army to wipe out Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, Luo Rucai, and Ma Shouying.

Yun Zhao continued to wait, but after half a month, he did not wait until the emperor dealt with the ministers who advised him to resign Zhang Bingzhong, Luo Rucai, and Ma Shouying.

That year, Zhang Bingzhong and others dug out his Zhu family's ancestral tomb...

Since he could even forget such hatred, Yun Zhao felt that he should be a good person in the eyes of the emperor. As for the instructions from the Ministry of Personnel to come to Beijing to report his duties, he just pretended that this thing did not exist.

As a minister with two hearts, I have already arranged everything, so I naturally don’t have to take the risk of going to Beijing to express my feelings.

Many people in history have done this, and the probability of success is less than 10%. The reason why Hongmen Banquet became famous all over the world and was praised by the world is completely an exception.

More often, after entering Beijing, he was chopped down and he never had the chance to return to his hometown.

In order to express his respect for the emperor, Yun sent a newly minted box of silver dollars to the capital. At the same time, Yun Zhao also suggested that the emperor unify the use of silver in China and use silver dollars to replace those strange-shaped broken silver.

This is obviously a big plan to make a fortune, but I don’t know if the emperor can handle it well. If the handling is not done well, the cost of minting silver dollars exceeds the value of the silver dollars, then it doesn’t matter to Yun Zhao.

Lantian City stands alone on the Pai Shang grassland. There is no people within a radius of 300 miles, and there is no people on the grasslands farther away. Even at the foot of Yinshan Mountain with lush water and grass, it is rare to be silent this year.

Fortunately, the city is full of supplies, so it is already considered a small country that can be self-sufficient.

Lantian County is even more prosperous, and the pump effect that Yun Zhao is looking forward to has shown up. Good talents, good technology, good population, a large amount of money and a large amount of supplies are pouring into Lantian County, which once again made the finances of Lantian County have greatly developed.

Many merchants are already actively making suggestions to Lantian County, hoping that Lantian County will lead and work together to reopen the Grand Canal directly to Xi'an to communicate the connection between the southeast and Guanzhong.

This suggestion is obviously uneasy.

Some people are planning to repeat the strategy of South Korea in the Warring States Period to encourage Qin to open the Zhengguo Canal to exhaust Qin, and then use this canal to drag down the finances of Lantian County.

Such suggestions are full of deception, and some Guanzhong students were even shocked by this huge plan. After being shocked, they thought that as long as the canal was cleared, Xi'an City could restore the prosperous appearance of thousands of sails competing and merchants gathering in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

I completely forgot the reality that the Silk Road had long been ruined and disappeared.

In November, Feng Ying's belly was not moving, and Qian Duoduo's belly had no news of the children except for too many oranges.

Therefore, Lantian County can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.

This year, Yun Niang ushered in another annual harvest day.

Yun Niang looked at this day very seriously. Ten days ago, she had already ordered the butler Yunqi to build a tent and wait for the snow to fall.

Yun Niang stubbornly believes that collecting rent when snow falls is a good omen. If snow does not fall at the end of the year, she will be willing to wait until the snow falls before getting the bonus.

Two years ago, I set up a shed and prepared some pots, mutton soup and other things for everyone to eat with garlic cloves.

This year, it is obviously not possible. The simple shed with air leakage on all sides of the past has become a greenhouse. There are more than 30 huge cowhide tents on the open space. These things are all brought back by Yun Zhao from the trunk. It is best to entertain business partners after the arrangement is done here.

Yun Niang was holding a snow-white raccoon cat in her arms, accompanied by Feng Ying and Qian Duoduo to inspect her slaves.

Although each of these merchants is a free man, Yun Niang still stubbornly believes that these people are their own tenants.

It's just not growing crops.

Qian Duoduo likes the pure white raccoon cat in Yun Niang's arms very much. He wanted to take it from Yun Niang's hand and hold it himself several times, but Yun Niang knocked it off again and again and again.

"If you give birth to a grandson for me, who would still like a raccoon cat?"

"I'll ask Princess Qin to send another one over."

"Dream, this is a Siamese cat, a gift from the Siamese king to the royal family, and this is the only one of the Princess Qin."

"Then let the caravan go to Siam and bring me a blue-eyed cat back."

Yun Niang looked at her two daughters-in-law and sighed: "Where did you get the confidence to smile when you didn't have a child?"

Feng Ying habitually lowered her head. She did not have the experience of growing up with Yun Niang and could not be as unscrupulous as Qian Duoduo.

"These tenants this year look happy. The wealthy ones don't look like people who borrowed our money.

Look, there is also a man wearing a bearskin cloak, who is sweating while sitting in the snow. Oh, nowadays, people don’t even carry their bags, and they are all wearing gold and silver. If anyone dares to tell Wei Niang about any deficit this year, let Yunqi send someone to tear his mouth apart.

Those who bring their concubines to our house to show off will not be short of money.”

Although I could not take my two daughters-in-law to shuttle through the crowd without any rules, Yun Niang still sat on the high ground and pointed at the group of people below.

"Mom, you're making a fortune this year. Can your daughter-in-law's share increase? Five hundred taels of silver in a quarter are not enough."

Qian Duoduo hugged Yun Niang's arm and shook it again.

"The princess Qin has only two thousand taels of money in a year. There are only one old woman and three maids in your yard. Why is it not enough?"

As he spoke, Qian Duoduo, who had pouted, smiled and said to Feng Ying: "Your money is not enough to use, I will give you another thousand taels of silver every quarter."

Feng Ying hurriedly said, "Enough, enough, only Xiao Chu and two maids in the yard, and the five hundred taels of silver are already a lot."

Yun Niang patted Feng Ying's hand and said, "You still have a lot of people in Funiu Mountain to support you. Since these people followed you into the Yun family's sect, there is no reason to let them eat braised vegetables."

"I also have someone to support me..." Qian Duoduo shook Yun Niang's arm even more powerfully.

Yun Niang scoffed at it.

Liu Ru came this year with a carriage. Although the carriage she was riding in was not good, it was also a sturdy and durable new carriage.

There was also a cart behind the cart, driven by a young man, with a wooden box tied to it, which was quite heavy.

Yun's accountant is the most powerful, and their eyes are the most vicious.
