Chapter 259 The death of Zijinliang
When Zhang Shun heard the illogical remarks of the Second Head "Zi Jinliang" of the Second Head, he asked strangely: "Second Head, how do you say this?"
"The first counselor in the founding of our country, sincerity, Bo Liu Ji, Liu Bowen once divined the fortune of our Ming Dynasty, and asserted that: Hang a curved ruler on the tree, and stop when it comes to perfection."
"At first I was puzzled and didn't know what this meant. It was only when I heard your surname Zhang Shun that I suddenly realized. Isn't this 'stop when I meet you,' which is right on you? The Zhu family should be destroyed by you and replaced it!"
After saying that, "Purple Gold Liang" turned his head to He Jin, "Left Jin King" and "Geli Yan" He Yilong said, "I know that I ordered you to recognize him as the master just now, and you are quite dissatisfied. You are so blind! Don't you know that it was a real dragon in front of you? I am giving you a great fortune, which is worthy of your follower for a long time."
"The King of Left Jin" He Jin and "Ge Liyan" He Yilong were stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that there was such a reason. He was moved and hurriedly bowed to the second head of the "Purple Jinliang" and said, "Thank you for your fulfillment, I will never forget it!"
Of course, while these two people were grateful, they couldn't help but feel a little confused in their hearts: Although the second leader "Zi Jinliang" had some talent, but he was ignorant of his skills, when did he become so literary? Fortunately, it was the time when the second leader was in the life and death of the second leader, and the two had not thought about it carefully.
Zhang Shun was bragged a lot in the previous episode, and his face became much thicker. He just said a few humble words, "I don't dare to take it." So he stopped persuading him.
Perhaps "Zi Jinliang" felt the passing of life and was more eager for life. So he did not waver them away, but continued, "Where is the Taoist in Wuxu?"
"Here!" The Taoist Wuxu responded without any sorrow or joy.
"I know that you are a person outside the country, but how can this world of Daming allow anyone outside the country? I was also a monk. I shaved my head and worked as a monk for several years. As a result, I still have no food and drink since the disaster!"
"The court doesn't care about food, and the Buddha doesn't care about food. We have to bully our masters and destroy our ancestors. We have become a thief. Now, Taoist Wuxu is also considered a thief. I know you are also a talented person. I didn't want to listen to the Taoist priest's words in the previous episode, but instead believed Han Tingxian, the thief."
"I heard a few days ago that Han Tingxian was killed by Cao Wenzhao and defeated the Communist Party. It was so satisfying. I just wish I could understand this person with my own hands."
"Since the Taoist priest knows that Zhang Shun already has the destiny, why not leave any assistance to him? For the position of Zhuge Liuhou, it was set up by the Taoist priest!"
The Taoist Wuxu was so amused and laughed when he heard this. You thought more carefully than I arranged. If you follow Zhang Shun's words, it would be "all of you learned to answer quickly."
The Taoist Wuxu had no choice but to respond: "Abide by the orders of the second chief. The old Taoist priest, I have not yet met in the world. It seems that I must follow the 'Optimus Prime' to go to the world for a while!"
Zhang Shun almost laughed. At least he had no expression on his face, and no one could see the truth. He also pretended to respond: "Thank you for the second leader's help, and thank the Taoist Wuxu for helping me. I, Zhang Shun, cannot guarantee anything. As long as I, Zhang Shun, eat everything in one bite, everyone's food will definitely be indispensable!"
"If the officers and soldiers come, I will dare to fight, which will definitely make the child Chongzhen unable to sleep or eat. He is frightened when he hears my name!"
"Zi Jinliang" was quite happy when he heard this, and then said, "I was born in Suide, and I was young and energetic. I rode a horse and walked my dog, and got trapped, so happy!"
"I just don't know how to save money, and my family has no spare money, so I can eat, drink and enjoy it all. As a result, a severe drought came, and I had no choice but to be a monk, so I had to be ordained and become a monk."
"At the beginning, there was still food in the temple and it could still be supported. As a result, I never thought that the drought lasted for two years and even the temple had no food. Our family had to follow the example of the Ming Dynasty and rebel activities."
"I have worked in the army before, and I know some military tactics. I claim to be 'building the sea purple gold beam' and are preparing to do something earth-shaking and changing dynasties. I never thought that I had great ambitions and talent, and I should be destined to be here!"
"Now the border troops are good at fighting, and the court officials are united. The Ming Dynasty resisted the Jin captives in the north and sank the south. Can our rebel army survive?"
"Since I became the leader of the 36th Battalion, I have been sleeping all night and tossing and turning, unable to sleep. I only want to worry about the future of the rebel army. I dare not express my ambitions, but I only hope that my brothers can do something and cannot be a thief for life!"
"I like to listen to "The Margin of Loyalty and Righteousness", and I deeply feel that Song Sanlang has lofty ambitions and does not care about personal gains and losses. I also agree with the war and the imperial edicts with peace."
"It's just that the boss and I have disturbed Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places one after another, and the world is shocked. Why is the court still persistent in destroying us and never has the intention of being in peace?"
"Aren't we innocent children of the Ming Dynasty? Are we not the people of the Ming Dynasty? Do we just deserve to die, and can't we live anywhere else? Why? Why!"
These two leaders "Zijinliang" still looked back on the previous episode and recalled their life experiences, but they did not expect that when they talked about the future of the rebel army and the affairs of Zhao'an, they still couldn't calm down.
Zhang Shun was silent for a moment and replied, "The second leader is not unwilling to do so, but he really cannot. The court also wants to protect the imperial court, but the food and salary are empty, just to save money; the rebel army wants to protect the imperial court, but he just has no food and wants to survive."
"Then, if you want the rebel army to survive, the court can only solve the problem by paying money and grain. But if the court has money and grain, why send troops to wipe out us?"
"The imperial court has countless taxes and labor every year, why are there no money?" asked the second head of state strangely.
"Because these tax labor requires several steps to be used. The first is to collect taxes. The tax collector will catch them by hand. The court collects one, and the officials dare to collect ten. The second is to transport the capital, and there will inevitably be fire loss and the officials will be dealt with. The third is to enter the warehouse, one is to pay the Zhu family's vassal king, and the other is to be misappropriated by the royal family. When the six ministries receive and pay, there will be almost no money or grain left. The fourth is to distribute the place, and all the officials in the world are exploited. At this point, the money, grain, taxes and fees in the world have been exhausted!"
"How dare they do this? How dare they do this!" "Zi Jinliang" was so sad and angry that he vomited blood on the spot.
It turned out that because of the low status of these two leaders, Zijinliang, never understood the government's money and grain operations. However, this year's dislike of corrupt officials did not know that there were so many tricks. When they thought of so many brothers and sisters who died because of this, they were sad and angry and depressed, and died of anger.
In fact, Zhang Shun didn't know much about this. Fortunately, Zhang Shenyan, as a senior official of the court, was quite clear about the ways. Zhang Shun discussed it with him many times before he understood the truth about the lack of money in the late Ming Dynasty.
