The wind and snow gradually stopped, the soft sunshine spread on the ground, and a touch of warmth suddenly added to the air. People's restless mood seemed to calm down a lot in an instant.
However, there is one person who is an exception!
At this time, in Prince De's palace, the crown prince Zhu Cilian was kneeling down in front of Prince De with great fear, carefully describing the shocking changes that had taken place in the market in the past two days!
"Fuck your mother~~! Gu, Gu Gu, who has been famous all his life, how, how could he give birth to a brainless son like you! Free food? Free food? Why don't you fucking touch you?
Think about it with your pig brain? Ah~~! He Liu Ruyi is not a fool, how could he do such a stupid thing? Did you spend all the money of the orphan again and team up with others to defraud the orphan?" King De seemed to be like
An irritable polar bear scolded the Crown Prince Zhu Cilian with all his curses!
He is still making good calculations in his mind. In these days, the hundreds of thousands of grains and rice he purchased can at least be doubled or tripled. When the time comes, once these grains and rice are sold, then he, King De, will at least
You can live a beautiful and stable life for ten years!
"Father, everything my son said is true. I dare not tell any lies! In the past two days, the people in the city have been rushing to the Liujia Rice Shop to receive free rice. We, our rice
Okay, already, it has been two days since it opened! Even the Zhang family and Qi family rice stores have also been affected. If we can't think of a way, the grain and rice we bought at a high price will be, I'm afraid.
It's going to die in your hands!" Zhu Cilian kowtowed and explained.
King De, an old man, usually never leaves the house or steps forward, so he is not so sensitive to the fluctuations of the outside world. However, the crown prince Zhu Cilian has been personally handling the matter of purchasing grains and rice. In the past few days, Liu Ruyi has been in charge of grains and rice.
How could he remain indifferent to the shocking turmoil in the market?
Since early yesterday morning, twenty Liujia Rice Stores in the city have been releasing grains for free on an almost endless scale. People have flocked to the city after hearing the news, completely destroying the original price structure of grains and rice in Jinan City! After all, there are free grains.
Who would be stupid enough to buy rice at a price comparable to the price of gold?
When Zhu Cilian first heard the news, she didn't believe it. He even went to the Liujia Rice Store in the city to check it out, but he personally took back three buckets of fine Huguang white rice! With Bai Huahua's grain rice in hand,
Only then did Zhu Cilian realize that their father and son were really going to be in trouble!
"Hey~~! You little bastard, how dare you not tell me the truth! I'm looking for a fight, I'm looking for a fight~~~!" How could King De believe his son's lies? He pulled off the jade belt around his waist and faced Zhu Cilian's fat face.
, just a few whips!
Although the crown prince Zhu Cilian was a little weak-tempered, King De's whips were extremely powerful. Several bright red blood stains instantly appeared on Zhu Cilian's white face. At this time, Zhu Cilian was also a little hairy. He suddenly got up and was in a panic.
He said: "Why don't you listen to my father? Then Liu Ruyi personally commanded the troops to distribute grain. Now it has been known to all women and children in Jinan City! If my father doesn't believe it, just go and find out in person! But my son is worried.
Our Prince De's Mansion is probably about to suffer a disaster!"
King De was stunned, and then he carefully looked at the expression of his son Zhu Cilian, and found that his son did not seem to be cheating. Suddenly, he felt abrupt in his heart. He hurriedly called the trusted butler at the door and asked carefully!
How could the housekeeper dare to make false claims at this time? He hurriedly recounted the changes in the city in the past two days to King De in detail!
"No, no! This is impossible! This is impossible! Liu Ruyi is just a small guerrilla officer. Where did he get so much grain and rice! I don't believe it, I don't believe it~~~! Haha~~
! He will not be able to hold it any longer soon, he will not be able to hold it any longer soon! He will definitely kneel down and beg me, he will! Hahaha!" King De was already a little crazy, shouting hysterically!
This is like someone suddenly winning a five million lottery ticket. When he happily went to receive the prize, he suddenly discovered that it turned out that the lottery seller made a mistake and he was just happy for nothing.
!
How could King De, who was drifting in a sweet dream, accept this?
"Father, father~~!" Seeing her father like this, Zhu Cilian felt uncomfortable. He hurriedly helped up King De's fat body with thousands of hands, and explained in a low voice: "At first, I was also surprised. His surname is Liu.
, where did these grains and rice come from! But, later, when I went to inquire, I found out! As early as more than a year ago, the two brothers Liu Ruyi and Liu Hanyi bought and hoarded grains and rice, fearing that
, I'm afraid there are no less than a million taels of silver, all stored in the Liu family's granary at the foot of Qianfo Mountain! Father, father, they have millions of stones, grains and rice. We, we can't fight them.
Ah! Why not, if we go and admit our mistake to him now, maybe, for Qingxu’s sake, he, he can let us go?"
"What?" King De opened his eyes in disbelief, looked straight at his son in front of him, opened his mouth and said: "You, you actually asked me to admit my mistake to that beast? You are actually the only one in the Ming Dynasty?
Wang, go and admit your mistake to that mud-legged guerrilla officer? Haha? Hahaha~~?"
As King De was talking, he suddenly burst into laughter and burst into tears!
Zhu Cilian didn't dare to face King De's anger and kept retreating.
Prince De, however, tore Zhu Cilian's shirt from her chest and shouted, "I tell you, unless Gu dies, that little bastard who cheats on others will never succeed in his life! Gu wants to sit here and wait in person.
Wait, wait for that little bastard to kowtow to Gu and apologize! Hahaha! And you, you useless trash, get out of here now! Don’t let me see you again!"
Zhu Cilian shook her head feebly and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She turned around silently and quietly exited the door!
………………
At this time, in the tower at the north gate of Jinan City, Liu Hanyi carefully reported to Liu Ruyi the situation in the city in the past few days, "Ruyi, these days, we have sent out hundreds of thousands of stones, grains and rice. According to this
Judging from the situation, in the next few days, this number will probably double! Although we have some inventory, it is all military needs. I am worried that we, we may not be able to sustain it for a long time!
"
Liu Ruyi nodded slightly. Liu Ruyi had already anticipated this situation!
Originally, if King De was willing to cooperate, control the price of rice in the city, and stabilize the people's hearts in the city, Liu Ruyi could rest assured and spend time with the Qing troops outside the city, but in the end, there are some things~~~ that he may have to take action in advance.
Got it!
"Brother, since I have said that about the grain and rice, we must distribute it on time! No matter who it is, there must be no delay in the slightest! Otherwise, the knife in my hand will not recognize anyone!" Liu Ruyi looked into Liu Hanyi's eyes.
, word for word.
Liu Hanyi also knew that Liu Ruyi was under great pressure now, so he did not dare to say anything more. He just nodded vigorously, "Brother, don't worry! I will keep an eye on these things personally!"
Liu Ruyi stood up, patted Liu Hanyi's shoulder hard, turned to look at the large tent covered by the Qing army and said: "Brother, as the ancients said, the winner is the prince and the loser is the bandit! The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, let's
Brother's future depends on this!"
"Ruyi, you..."
Liu Hanyi wanted to say something more, but Liu Ruyi interrupted him forcefully, "Brother, I need your help now! Within three days, I need to recruit 20,000 strong civilians. As for the salary, all
It will be paid by food. You can decide the details. Brother, our family’s wealth and life depend on this!"
Liu Hanyi looked at Liu Ruyi's resolute face for a long time. He nodded vigorously, squeezed Liu Ruyi's hand and said: "Brother, I believe in you! Leave these matters to me! If a man dies or a bird looks up to the sky,
I will not die for tens of millions of years! I will fight with you to the end!"
"Okay~! Good brother~!" Liu Ruyi also squeezed Liu Hanyi's big hand!
……………………
At the same time, in the Qing army's tent, Dorgon's compatriot Duoduo was leaning against the red charcoal fire, drinking kumiss leisurely!
These ten days of peace gave these Qing troops who had been fighting for more than half a year a chance to breathe, and their bodies and spirits gradually recovered!
Although they were in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, there was no one who could pose a threat to them. In addition, the cattle and sheep looted along the way made them feel more comfortable than in Shengjing!
At this time, after three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Duduo was already a little tipsy. He picked up the wine glass and gestured to Dorgon, "Brother, that man has entered the customs. I heard that he is in the capital."
We also fought a few victorious battles on the side! Hum~~~! That bitch Jierhalang has already stretched his nose before he can smell the smell of meat. Brother, do we really want to let him go?"
Dorgon picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but there was a sneer on his lips, "It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married. Since he wants to go, why should we stop him? Haha, that's fine! Also.
Let's take this opportunity and take a closer look to see if those people are just ignorant white-eyed wolves!"
"Bang!" Duduo smashed the wine glass on the table so hard, "Brother is right! Sooner or later we have to settle the accounts with these bastards! I will never forget my mother's revenge!"
Dorgon and Duduo's mother, Ulanala, was the daughter of Urabelle Mantai. She was 31 years younger than Nurhaci. She married Nurhaci when she was twelve years old. She was extremely favored by Nurhaci in his later years.
, with the three sons Azig, Dorgon, and Duduo, they were named 'grand concubine', which was actually equivalent to a queen, and they were very famous for a while!
But after the death of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji came to power, and although Dorgon and Duduo brothers had strong soldiers at their hands, they were too young and unable to resist at all, so that their mother, Uranala, was forced to death!
Although Huang Taiji spared the lives of Dorgon and the Duoduo brothers, he was always trying to draw in and divide them secretly. This also made the two brothers' hearts filled with indelible seeds of hatred!
"Hmph!" Dorgon sneered, "Fifteenth brother, there is a saying among the Han people that a gentleman takes revenge no later than ten years. I will definitely make those people pay the price!"
Duduo nodded heavily, thought for a moment, and then said: "Brother, we have taken a break during these days, why not take advantage of the situation to capture Jinan City? Otherwise he will be picky and say that we are not working hard!
"
"Well~! It's almost time now!" Dorgon stood up, gently relaxed his hands and feet, and shouted to the soldiers outside the door: "Go, please spare Yu Beile, Prince Zheng is here to discuss matters!"
