Chapter 31 Doing Business
The north wind whines
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky with heavy snow and lamented. It had already started to snow heavily before winter began, and the people were going to suffer again!
"Come here!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted to the side.
"Sir!" A pawn stood aside.
"Let Liu Qianhu come to see me!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.
"yes!"
After a while, Liu San braved the heavy snow and walked into the county government office and said, "What do you want from me, sir?"
"San'er, the weather is getting colder and colder. The people's life is not easy. You take out the food in the warehouse and arrange for people to distribute porridge everywhere. I will blame you for starving to death!"
When Liu San heard this, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Yes!"
"Okay, you go down first!"
Zhu Yuanzhang watched Liu San leave and walked into the back hall of the county government office. When he saw the woman standing aside, he frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"
"My father said you were here, so I came," the woman replied without paying any attention to Zhu Yuanzhang's captivating gaze.
"How was the inquiry about that matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang began to ask about business rather than pestering her.
The woman said sternly: "As you have heard, the Yulin Guards Station has a batch of ordnance and a thousand stones of food to sell. But I heard that we are not the only ones who want to sell things recently."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with great interest: "Oh? There are still people interested in these things, aren't they ordinary people?"
"You'll never guess who it is," the woman said deliberately to make a mistake.
"I guess it should be a person named Gao!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Ah? How do you know!" the woman said with some disappointment.
"Okay, keep staring over there and tell me if you have any news." Zhu Yuanzhang began to wave people away.
"Hey, you don't want to see me in front of you so much?" the woman said a little aggrievedly.
Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded: "Yan Ning is not the time to talk about this now, you should go and do business quickly!"
"I know." Yan Ning walked out with some disappointment.
"Gao Yingxiang, let's see if there's any chance of arranging for someone to go in," Zhu Yuanzhang said to her back.
"Um!"
Tan Xuexing, the commander of the Yulin Guard Post, looked at the letter in his hand and said: "Gao Yingxiang is willing to pay 120,000 taels of silver. The Tu family on the other hand has not replied for a long time. I think it is better to sell these things to Gao Yingxiang!"
"What do you two adults say?"
A middle-aged Confucian scholar in civil official robes below said: "Everything must be obeyed by your Majesty!"
But a trace of solemnity flashed across his face. He had always taken the lead in the Tu family's business, so he could get an extra 10%. Now that there was no news from the Tu family, he was also passive.
Selling ordnance is punishable by death. The imperial court is currently inspecting border warehouses. If he is found out, he will only die, so he seems to be lacking in interest.
A general below also nodded repeatedly. He had followed the commander for so many years and was already considered a confidant. Therefore, Tan Xuexing mainly asked his fellow commander You Sihui.
"Well, I will write back to him and ask him to trade in mid-November. As for the location, I think it will be in Qingjian, a short distance away!" Tan Xuexing said.
After saying that, the three of them left separately.
Tan Xuexing looked in the direction of You Sihui and said: "Huh, it's not that easy to get on the boat and get off. If the court just offends me, I will rebel against you!"
You Sihui returned to the house, thought for a while, picked up the pen and started writing. After a long time, a letter with elegant handwriting fell on the paper. You Sihui hid the letter, then lay down on the bed and entered the room.
Dreamland.
After a moment, a figure appeared at the head of his bed. Through the candle shadow, he saw a dagger raised high and plunged into You Sihui. Blood stained the entire bed. The figure took the letter that You Sihui had hidden.
He climbed through the window and left.
After a long time, the soldier on night patrol asked about the smell of blood coming from the room, and then shouted: "Here, there is an assassin!"
When Tan Xuexing arrived sleepily, he looked at You Sihui who was already cold and said, "Carry it down and bury it properly!"
The two soldiers silently carried the body away. Tan Xuexing looked at the marks on the windowsill and fell into deep thought.
anse
A tall man in plain clothes held the letter in his hand and said: "Qingjian!"
"Someone is coming!"
When the two people walked in from the outside, Gao Yingxiang ordered: "Immediately arrange for people to go to Qingjian County to familiarize themselves with the terrain to prevent the officers and soldiers from stumbling upon them!"
"yes!"
"General, there are two people outside the door asking to see you." A small soldier entered the room to report.
Gao Yingxiang immediately said: "Bring him in, no! I will greet him personally."
When Gao Yingxiang came to the gate of the county government office, he saw a young man and a middle-aged man and said, "Are these two heroes here because of my recruitment order?"
Because of the lack of talents, Gao Yingxiang arranged for his subordinates to post widely to welcome the wise men from all over the world to join his sect. Therefore, when he heard someone coming, he personally welcomed them.
The two nodded and the young man said, "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Chou." Zhou Chou's eyes were filled with resentful anger.
The strong man said: "I am from Wei Chang. I came to join Gao Yingxiong because I was desperate."
Gao Yingxiang took the two of them into the county government office and said, "Please come quickly!"
"Come here, let's serve some food and wine. I want to get drunk with these two heroes before we retire!" Gao Yingxiang shouted loudly.
Qingjian County
A group of fierce people walked into the city and saw the rebels giving porridge everywhere and said: "The county magistrate here is quite benevolent and righteous."
Ordinary people saw the aggressive crowd and hurriedly avoided it. Only a pair of eyes in the dark glanced at everyone and then disappeared into the crowd. When Zhu Yuanzhang received the news, he immediately said: "Make arrangements, I am going to Qingjian!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who braved the wind and snow to rush to Qingjian, asked the class leader: "Are they really officers and soldiers?"
The class leader stroked his beard and said: "We are inseparable!"
"What are the officers and soldiers doing in this poor place like ours?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused.
The class leader said: "There have been a lot of new people in the city recently, and it seems that things are not easy for them!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more confused when he heard this. At night, Zhu Yuanzhang got up and turned around in the yard, and started dancing with a long sword in his hand. The sword blade scraped the air and made a buzzing sound. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't stop until he was sweating profusely.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out from behind Zhu Yuanzhang and attacked Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang raised his sword to resist, and after a moment of fighting, Yan Ning said: "No fight, no fight."
"Nonsense!"
"I have important information this time, so forget it if you don't listen," Yan Ning said and was about to leave.
"etc!"
Yan Ning showed a sly smile, turned around and walked into the house and said: "I know what the people who come to the city do recently."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at her silently, and Yan Ning continued: "One of them is from Yulin Health Center, and the other is from Ansai Gao Yingxiang."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said cheerfully: "They are here to do that business."
"right!"
