Chapter 373
What Liu Bu was thinking about was that it was relatively simple. No matter how the other party planned, he had to eat this piece of fat into his mouth. As long as he ate this piece into his mouth, it was his own. He had planned for so long, just for such a result, and he would definitely not fail. As for Mr. Hong, he came, it could only be said that the soldiers came to block the enemy and the water came to cover the earth.
Liu Bu remembered the other party's plans and was also a little worried. He wanted to find someone to discuss how to deal with Hong Chengshou. He usually discussed these things with Zheng Zining, but Zheng Zining is angry now. He doesn't want to find her for these things. He doesn't know what to do for the time being, so he can only let his subordinates gather the army and respond to changes in the same way.
Liu Bu understood one thing, that is, in the end, it is the final decision of who has an army. When he keeps his eyes on the other party's army, he is like he keeps his eyes on the other party's hands and feet. If the other party doesn't take action, what's there to be afraid of?
But he knew that Hong Chengshou's methods should be more than one, so he thought that his plan must be more cautious. As for what to do, he should discuss it with his wife who is proficient in layout.
Zheng Zining was angry in her room. She was strong all her life and was strong in everything. But in the end, she was suppressed by the second room she looked down upon in the most important things in her life, which made her very unhappy and was so angry that he didn't even eat supper.
When Liu Bu saw that Zheng Zining was not eating, he had to bring a meal to the room himself.
Zheng Zining was very unhappy when she saw Liu Bu coming. She said, "What's the best thing to do here to clean the pot and cold stove?"
Liu Bu had no choice but to say: "No matter how you say this, it is a good thing for the Liu family. As a young grandmother of the Liu family, you cannot use such a little personality. If it is spread, it will make people laugh and lose their identity."
Zheng Zining said: "If I lose my identity, do I still have an identity? Maybe I will stand aside soon, so what is my identity?"
Liu Bu said, "Don't make trouble anymore. You can lose your temper at me, but you can't be in a bad mood in front of your subordinates. This will make you lose the face of the Liu family, and you will lose the identity of your eldest grandmother of the Liu family."
Since Liu Bu was so serious about what he said, Zheng Zining didn't dare to make trouble anymore. He snorted coldly, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to you.
This is the difficulty of being a wealthy young lady. That is, even though you know that you are very unhappy and very unhappy, you have to look very happy and very happy.
When Liu Bu saw that the other party was silent, he had to comfort him and said, "After all, you are the eldest grandmother of the Liu family who is married by the Ming Dynasty. You are the main one in the backyard. Even if the second wife gives birth to a child, she still has to call you a mother."
This made Zheng Zining a little shocked. Although she still looked unhappy, she thought that the second wife had worked hard to give birth to a child, and finally she had to give it to her to raise her. She called her mother, but she was a little happy and gloating. However, she still said: "If you don't have a child, if you call her mother, can you really become a mother?"
Liu Bu had no choice but to say: "I am only in my 20s. What's the point of worrying about? What's the difficulty of wanting children? Just do more. I don't believe in working day and night, and I can't do one."
Chen Yuanyuan's successful pregnancy made Zheng Zining very unhappy and also gave her a very strong sense of crisis. This is why she knew that if she didn't chase her and maintained her advantage, it would be easy to catch up and stabilize her.
In the end, who is not a mother’s son? If she doesn’t have children, how can she be expensive in the end? So she must also catch up.
Then she said, "From today until I have it, you must not step into the second room one step."
Liu Bu also knew that Zheng Zining was unhappy. Now that he had used these little tempers, it was also a symbol of unhappiness, so he had to say, "It depends on you."
When Hong Chengchou entered Yangzhou City, he realized that there was such a prosperous place in the world. He had long known the prosperity of Yangzhou, but after he truly saw it, he knew what a paradise on earth was.
He had served as an official in Shaanxi and a governor of Shaanxi. I guess there was no Yangzhou Prefecture in the entire Shaanxi Province as rich? What is even more enviable and shocking is that Qingyun Temple outside Yangzhou City has accumulated tens of millions of taels of silver. He estimated that so many rich people have transported so much silver, which is probably more than in the treasury.
This really made Hong Chengchou, an authentic scholar-official, very angry and dissatisfied. The court's Taicang was so poor that the rats died, but the wealth among the people was so abundant and so much. It is not a good phenomenon that this kind of master is weak and strong.
Hong Chengchou thought of one thing, that is, the current imperial court was in a hurry to eliminate the bandits and to eliminate the Liao Xiang of Jiannu. If these two expenses could be exempted, it would greatly reduce their pressure and relax them greatly.
Hong Chengshou was truly dissatisfied with him. He thought that the money should fall into the hands of the court, serving the court and the Ming Dynasty, rather than being in vain in the hands of these wealthy people in Jiangnan and wasted in vain.
The policies of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years have always been rich in the people. Now when the Ming Dynasty is in trouble, it should be the time when the country advances and the people retreat.
On the surface, Hong Chengchou had the same idea as everyone else. He came here to incubate silver. He claimed that he brought nearly 800,000 taels of silver, which were all his military pay. If the 800,000 yuan silver could be several timesized, he could calmly wipe out the bandits.
His explanation makes sense. If there are three seven days to use it now, the silver can be changed from 800,000 vehicles to more than 6 million taels in these three seven days. He, Hong, has more than 6 million taels of silver, so what can he do? No wonder he sent a large army to come here and send military pay here? I guess if he has this amount of money, he can also wipe out the bandits himself.
After investigation and his own certification, Hong Chengchou knew one thing, that is, there is no incubation in the world, and no one can copy the money. Most of the other party is a scam. They used this method that almost insulted others' wisdom to cheat the money of these rich people, just to sweep away all the money one day. Hong Chengchou was thinking that when dealing with these officials and rich people, he found that these people were like human spirits, and were as dirty as monkeys, but their money was so easy to cheat and so easy to cheat.
Hong Chengchou has been in Yangzhou these days, and he has also conducted open and secret investigations. He saw that the entire Yangzhou Prefecture was crazy about incubating silver. He thought that once the conspiracy was exposed, the city would be in chaos and most of these rich people would go bankrupt.
Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel secretly proud. That is, these rich people from Jianghuai, their lives are really good, and even the lives of the royal family are just like this. Why do some of their businessmen live so well? Why do they live so gloriously? If their property can be eliminated and all of them are assigned to the court, this is also a good thing.
For the court, the four major ones were simply the sects, farmers, industry and commerce. Unexpectedly, the merchants who were ranked at the end actually jumped to second place, steadily suppressing the farmers and merchants. And they actually showed a symbol of running side by side with the sect. This was not a good phenomenon. This made him very upset. He thought that it was time to kill these people. When their people were rich, he could bribe the officials of the court, bribe the ministers in the court, speak for them, and protect them. When they had no money in their hands, when all their money was cheated, see what they used to bribe these ministers.
When they have money in their hands, these ministers will naturally stand up for them, speak for them, and provide protection for them. If they go bankrupt, have no money, and have no use value, will the corrupt officials in the court still speak for them? He thinks it is unlikely?
Even Hong Chengshou had an extreme idea, that is, if he succeeded, it would arouse the business changes here, and he had an army in his hands, he could successfully suppress these merchants. You should know that these people were like blood-sucking leeches on the Ming Dynasty, relying on the Ming Dynasty, desperately absorbing the nutrients of the Ming Dynasty, but making no contributions.
When necessary, he can dispatch military forces to suppress these people. I believe that killing a group of these merchants will not have any impact on the fundamentals of the Ming Dynasty. The most fundamentals of the Ming Dynasty are the officials and farmers. As long as these two major classes are still there, these merchants will not be able to resist the gods?
And he also has his reserve plan, that is, these rich businessmen, they all have backends, because they have money and can bribe their backends. But since the money has reached his Hong Chengshou, Hong Chengchou can also use this money to bribe these corrupt officials, so that these corrupt officials will no longer pursue and speak for them.
The Ming Dynasty has now entered an extremely harsh environment. It is exactly what he said, Hong Chengchou said. Some people must sacrifice for it and pay the price for it. After Hong Chengshou made these decisions, he ordered his generals to disguise themselves as bandits and cause trouble in the Yizheng area. The purpose of his doing this was mainly to transfer Liu Bu's army, because he discovered that something happened. Since his army entered here, Liu Bu has obviously transferred more troops here, and his targeting is very strong.
As the general of the garrison here, Liu Bu was responsible for defending the territory. Since there was a civil unrest in the Yizheng area, it was mainly caused by the local fishermen's tax resistance. As the general who led the troops, he immediately led the army to go on a battle and quickly left Yangzhou.
Hong Chengshou sneered and said, "You know your identity. If you don't leave, when I order you to leave, you will be even more shameless."
