Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

The Jiang family is a large local family in Changshu, and they have stayed here for almost generations. The Yuan army is stationed there. They are the fastest group to kneel, and they have also obtained the position of Tongzhi. They have been passed on from generation to generation, compared to the imperial court. They are the native emperors of Changshu. Perhaps no one knows that Zhizhou is called Sukhbaru, but he must know that his colleague is Jiang Zheng.

The family for hundreds of years is huge like a monster. The in-laws are spread all over Changshu. The slightly more savvy families. Most families have daughters surnamed Jiang. After giving birth to children, continue to marry the Jiang family, and the next generation will have them. Half of it was bleeding from the Jiang family.

Such Jiang Zheng, as a successor's co-knowledge, once his plan is supported by his family, his appeal will be very powerful.

They all want to take a gamble. If they win the gamble, the Jiang family does not need to stay in Changshu. If the gamble is lost, they will finally accept the court’s persuasion to surrender. Now the court wants to be a teacher of benevolence. Before, the imperial court would not completely tear their faces with them.

The whole family came out, most of the small staff and officials in Changshu have more or less ties to the Jiang family. After Jiang Zheng persuaded the family, they naturally still belonged to Jiang Zheng.

Jiang Zheng is sitting in the courtyard now, he is watching a teenager put Sukhbaru's head on the table in front of him, Jiang Zheng is covering his mouth, holding back the desire to vomit|look.

It's not that he has never killed anyone. Although he didn't kill himself, he saw the **** scene for the first time.

Either it was strangled or killed by hitting a board, and there was no beheading.

"Throw his head out." Jiang Zheng frowned and couldn't even drink the tea at hand.

Fourth Anni rushed over from the outside and almost trot all the way to the front of Jiang. After the table was cleaned, Jiang Zheng finally suppressed his nausea and smiled at Fourth Anni: "Brother An, as expected, this Sukhbaru is not a great character either."

Jiang Zheng said complacently: "I made so many arrangements in vain."

The fourth old man naturally wants to flatter again.

Jiang Zheng is not a smart person. After all, he is young and has limited experience. He has all the problems that young people may have.

Very high self-esteem, careless, love to listen to flattery.

But he has a family where he can make mistakes.

There are always wise men in the big family.

Jiang Zheng's expression changed, and his opponent said, "Tie him up."

The fourth An's eyes widened. He knew that he couldn't run away now, so he could only catch him obediently. He was pressed on the chair and couldn't move. Jiang was sitting opposite him.

"Brother An always think I'm stupid?" Jiang looked at him facelessly.

The fourth Anniversary smiled: "Jiang Tongzhi is the smartest person I have ever met."

Jiang Zheng was so angry that he shot up and broke the teacup beside him.

"Don't talk about these bitches!" Jiang Zheng paced violently on the spot, "I know what you think of me!"

Jiang Zheng grabbed Ang Si by the collar: "Who sent you here?!"

An old four said with a look of fear: "Tongzhi, I am a businessman, naturally it is for money."

Jiang Zheng sneered: "I was almost fooled by you, if it wasn't for me..."

He didn't say everything.

The fourth Anniversary lowered his head. He knew that he wanted to escape now. It was a foolish dream. He could only hope that Lin Yuan and the others could enter Changshu as soon as possible. Before that, as long as he killed him and didn't tell the person who instigated him, Jiang Zheng would Won't kill him.

This is not only a plan to protect Lin Yuan, but also to protect himself.

"You will speak." Jiang Zheng sat back again, he looked much calmer.

He asked: "The officer can already guess who sent you."

"Yes..." Jiang Zhenggang was about to tell who he had guessed, and the fourth old man suddenly said in a loud voice, "Since Tongzhi has guessed it, then I won't hide it from you. I came here this time and it is the one in Fengzhi. Life, come to persuade the common knowledge to join in the grand event!"

Jiang Zheng frowned, obviously this was completely different from what he had guessed: "Fang Guozhen?"

"Isn't he in Huizhou?" Jiang Zheng obviously didn't believe it.

After all, the fourth old man was Fang Guozhen's person, and he knew very well about the affairs of Huizhou. Although he was not Fang Guozhen's confidant, he could say something insignificant without thinking.

Jiang Zheng found that there was no flaw in what An Old Four said, and he was dubious.

Just when the old man was sweating on his forehead and didn't know what to do, there was a loud noise outside, and the old man even felt like the ground was shaking.

Jiang Zheng was also taken aback and almost slid off his chair. He shouted, "What happened outside? What happened?"

The people in Jiang Zheng's house were in a mess, and it took nearly a quarter of an hour for someone to report.

"My lord! Someone is attacking the city outside! They have trebuchets!"

Trebuchet!

Everyone has heard of this stuff and knows that some people have used it, but it is a very huge tool that cannot be carried over long distances at all. There is not such a large wooden cart to put it down. Unless the materials are collected on the spot, it requires a confrontation between the two sides. For a long time.

Are these people already outside the city?

impossible! He had only sent people to chase Sukhbaru two days ago. If there were people in the vicinity, there were so many people and troops, they could not be unaware.

Jiang Zheng looked at the fourth child, gritted his teeth and said, "Who is it?"

At this point, the fourth Anniversary can conceal: "Gaoyou."

Jiang Zheng raised his fist, seeming to want to slap An Old Four’s face, An Old Four smiled and said: "Dongzhi, I advise you to think carefully before you do it. Now the soldiers are coming down the city. If you can save my life, if you kill me or hurt me, then you will have a hard time."

Jiang Zheng: "Do you think I will believe you?"

There was a huge boulder outside again. Jiang was supporting the table, and An Si fell to the ground together with the chair. He looked quite proud: "If you find out earlier, maybe the situation today will be reversed. "

Jiang Zheng: "Didn't the guy in Gaoyou who pretend to be a **** benevolent? Use a trebuchet? My people in Changshu are not people anymore?"

"My lord," the fourth Anniversary said loudly, "it's useless what you said to me!"

"The people under Nan Bodhisattva's rule are his people. When he takes Changshu, he will naturally love the people like his children."

Jiang Zheng laughed: "Love the people like children?"

Fourth Anniversary: ​​"You don't believe it? I didn't believe it at first."

"Master Tongzhi, let's watch."

——

Luo Guanzhong was setting up a tent at this time. The furnishings were simple, and it would be good to have a table.

A total of three trebuchets were brought. The carpenters tried their best to make assembly easier after disassembly according to Lin Yuan’s requirements. Nowadays, a trebuchet only needs ten men to assemble, and it only takes three hours. That's six hours.

Although it still seems to take time, it saves more than half of the original time.

Sometimes efficiency is also important.

Although Luo Guanzhong had read a lot of military books and thought he knew a lot about trebuchets, it was the first time he saw a real trebuchet, like three indomitable behemoths. He spread out the map of Changshu and discussed with Zhu Yuanzhang and the others.

This time Lin Yuan didn't come with him.

This made Luo Guanzhong a little disappointed when he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it would not be too nervous, but it was regrettable that Yu Lin Yuan could not see the winning scene with his own eyes.

"The stones alone must scare him to death." Brother Dao slapped his thigh, and said very contentedly, "I haven't seen this battle, it's more powerful than the explosive|pill."

The boulders have spent a lot of manpower, and they can only obtain local materials. Last night they set up camp, searched for the boulders overnight, and had to find a way to transport them back. It took a lot of time.

But the results achieved are also amazing.

Now Changshu is chaotic into a pot of porridge, and the city walls are also crumbling. In addition to the huge boulders, there are a lot of loose stones. Throwing them can also cause riots within a certain range.

After Luo Guanzhong discussed with them, Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Baian and Li Congrong each led a team out.

Now the soldiers of Gaoyou have changed their faces. The arrival of merchants has brought a better life, and also brought more money and military equipment-they always have their own way and means.

These Lin Jiajun wear helmets.

The most shocking thing is that Lin Yuan finally trained a team of cavalry.

The money to raise one cavalry is enough to raise three infantry.

The consumption of horses is very large.

But the combat capability of the cavalry is also worthy of these expenses.

The Mongols relied on cavalry to lay down the country, and even expedition to Europe, became the famous whip of God.

The standard knows how to fight the world, but does not know how to sit in the world.

Just like Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng was even more unlucky and became emperor for forty-two days.

There are still very superstitious rumors among the people.

At that time, there was an old saying, "Eat meat every meal and celebrate the New Year every day."

The people can only eat meat once a year.

The fortune teller told Li Zicheng that he could be emperor for forty-two years.

As a result, Li Zicheng ate meat every day after becoming emperor, so forty-two years became forty-two days.

This rumor is more like a joke.

But you can also imagine how miserable Li Zicheng is.

He ended the rule of the Ming Dynasty and was also an excellent leader of peasant uprisings, but eventually lost his original popular support because of arrogance and extravagance.

It became a stepping stone for the Qing government to settle in the Central Plains.

In contrast, the Yuan Dynasty still sat for 98 years.

Good luck.

The chaos in Changshu turned into a pot of porridge. The people fled in all directions, but they didn't know where to flee. The soldiers had never seen this formation. They were at a loss and could only walk up the city wall with weapons.

The archer had just raised the bow, but the opponent had already set up the crossbow.

Whether it is experience, combat ability, or physical fitness, Lin Jiajun is much better than them.

This is a unilateral sling.

The fourth Anniversary is now completely relieved. He rushed to the side and said to Jiang Zheng, who was afraid to go out. You surrender now, and with me in your hands, you can definitely save your life."

Jiang Zheng is completely panicked now.

He ran out shaking.

He has to ask his uncle and his family, what should they do now?

Is it hard to support or surrender...or seek help from the court?

Jiang Zheng clenched his fists, his mind was all about: I can't die, I can't die.

Either seek help from the court, surrender, or find a way to escape.

There are only three ways.

And these three roads are accompanied by huge risks.

They must find the best way for them.

——

At this time, Lin Yuan was looking at the ledger that Song Shizhao gave him. The method of accounting was taught to Song Shizhao by Lin Yuan. The ledger left by Gaoyou and Taizhou was a mess, and it was very troublesome to organize. Lin Yuan really had no choice but to do it. I took the time to teach Song Shizhao how to keep accounts, and then let Song Shizhao sort out the account books.

Forms are used for bookkeeping, and different expenditures are recorded in different books, so it is easy to check.

The bulk of Gaoyou’s expenditure this year is still on the people. At the beginning, Lin Yuan took out all the food stored in Gaoyou and Taizhou to support the people, as well as the influx of refugees. This expenditure is the largest, and then the military reserves and military expenses. Then came the salaries of officials.

Song Shizhao said to Lin Yuan: "My boss, there is no money."

Lin Yuan: "Isn't the salt in Taizhou sold yet?"

Song Shizhao nodded: "I haven't sold it."

Lin Yuan stood up from the chair: "Call the merchants to come and sell it."

If you don't sell it, you will die poor.

The salt is sold by bidding. The big merchant bids all the salt at a single price, and then he sells it himself.

Lin Yuan was too lazy to sell it, it was too much trouble.

The businessmen are also very excited, they are finally able to do a big deal.

Some people tried their best to listen to other people's bid prices. Lin Yuan set the lowest bid price. If it did not exceed the price set by Lin Yuan by that time, the bidding would be invalidated. When the businessmen joined forces next time, the operation of lowering the price would be eliminated.

Small businessmen want to bid together, while big businessmen are doing their own business.

Zhou Fu prepared the bidding money. He felt that apart from himself, Xie Zichang had the ability to fight with himself. He spent a lot of money trying to pry Xie Zichang from people’s mouths. It’s a pity that the meat buns beat the dogs. The money was collected, although a lot of money was revealed, but the price obviously couldn't be set by Xie Zichang. It was obviously nonsense, just to fool him.

"Master!" The servant stood at the door, "The carriage is ready."

Zhou Fu opened the door: "Why are you still stained? Go!"

The salt was placed on the ground in baskets. The salt was ground very finely. It was a very high-quality fine salt. When the salt people brought the salt over, they were shocked. They obviously felt that it was easier than before. Why is the salt not getting less? Not only did it not decrease, but it became better?

The businessmen were sitting on chairs, they could bid openly, and everyone was given a small wooden sign, and the price was increased once the wooden sign was raised.

Lin Yuan was watching.

He wants to see what the current salt price is.

In the end, it was Zhou Fu who won the bid. He and Xie Zichang simply increased their prices, frightening the small businessmen next to them.

The financial resources of big businessmen are almost unimaginable for ordinary people.

After the auction ended, Lin Yuan took the time to see Zhou Fu.

"South Bodhisattva." Zhou Fu smiled on his face.

Lin Yuan asked him to sit down first, and then asked strangely: "Does President Zhou still have money to make for such a large price?"

Although the current salt price is high, it is not only Xinghua that produces salt. There are not many places in the country that produce salt, but there are not many.

Zhou Fu sighed, "South Bodhisattva doesn't know the price of official salt now."

The Yuan Dynasty's financial crisis caused the price of salt to double several times. Now the little rich family is almost out of salt. Not only is the price expensive, but sometimes you may not be able to buy it with money.

Zhou Fu said: "I can sell out this batch of salt before it leaves Gaoyou."

Small merchants can only buy from Zhou Fu, and naturally Xie Zichang can only buy from Zhou Fu.

Not only does he make a profit, it is not small.

Other merchants cannot afford such a huge amount, but they can afford to buy it in bulk.

Lin Yuan nodded and said to Zhou Fu, "Thanks."

Zhou Fu waved his hand quickly: "No hard work, no hard work."

"It's Nan Bodhisattva, who is in charge of so many things, it is really hard."

Lin Yuan looked at him with a smile, thinking in his heart: If you can't catch the strong man, do you think I want to control it?

In this era, reading and literacy can't be achieved in one or two months. Lin Yuan stipulates that as long as you learn 300 characters, even if you are semi-illiterate, learn 800 characters and you will get out of the illiterate ranks.

Taizhou and Gaoyou add up to less than 1,000 people who have left the illiterate ranks.

Among these thousand people, most of them are children with strong learning ability, and most of them are under 15 years old.

Lin Yuan, over ten years old, had already let them do things.

Those under ten years old... Lin Yuan could only let them continue to literacy for his little friends.

Lin Yuan is now very much looking for where there is a college, and then he led his troops to fight over and arrest all the scholars.

But just think about it.

Lin Yuan didn't want to offend the scholars, sometimes the scholars' pens were more ruthless than the knives, especially the ancients.

Different from modern times, most people in modern times come into contact not only from books, but also from the Internet. Justification of information acquisition has allowed modern people to accept a wide range of ideas.

As for the ancients, most of the truth comes from books, which will establish their three views, and at the same time they will inherit the ideas in the books.

So whenever there is a change of dynasty, the scholar is always the latest to kneel.

Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is also an education for scholars.

I just don't know if the current scholars love the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhou Fu suddenly said, "I have an idea."

Lin Yuan said quickly, "Chairman Zhou said."

Zhou Fu smiled and said, "Since the South Bodhisattva is short of scholars, why not issue orders for talents?"

Lin Yuan frowned: "The court..."

The Red Turban Army is now slowly becoming a climate, attracting most of the Yuan Army's firepower, but Lin Yuan still does not want to confront the Yuan Army now.

Zhou Fu: "If the South Bodhisattva believes in the next person, then the matter will be handled by the next person, and it will be done properly and beautifully."

Lin Yuan looked at Zhou Fu, but he didn't believe him.

Zhou Fu also knew that it was the best time to show loyalty. He knelt down and said, "I am a business man and I have no fixed place. My parents and brothers should receive Gao You as soon as possible. I will guarantee the life of the whole family. This matter must be done by Nan Bodhisattva. it is good!"

Lin Yuan discovered that he had been so busy recently that he hadn't read the reports from the merchants' family members.

Zhou Fu's old parents and elder brothers are all in Gaoyou. He recently married a local wife in Gaoyou, who is four months pregnant.

"Then leave it to Chairman Zhou." Lin Yuan helped Zhou Fu up with a smile, "If this happens, there will be a great reward."

Zhou Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

"One more thing." Lin Yuan said.

Zhou Fu hurriedly bowed: "South Bodhisattva, please speak."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes: "I want to know Qishui's strength."

Zhou Fu suddenly realized: "Never live up to what an adult entrusted."

Today Qishui is being occupied by Xu Shouhui. Xu Shouhui revolted against Yuan in August last year and occupied Qishui. He became the emperor and became the emperor of the country. He was also the banner of the Red Turban Army.

The reason why Lin Yuan pays attention to him is that Xu Shouhui will have one more general in his hand until the fifteenth year of Zhizheng.

The name of that general will stay in history forever-Chen Youliang.

Lin Yuan was thinking about whether Chen Youliang would show up if he sent troops to lay Qishui.

But he has not made a decision yet.

If he does not care about Xu Shouhui, then he will at least know what Chen Youliang will do in the future.

If he manages, and think about the benefits, Chen Youliang might not take part in the uprising. Lin Yuan thinks this is unlikely. Chen Youliang was not forced. He had been an official and had a family background. He chose the path himself.

Even if there is no Xu Shouhui, and Xu Shouhui's men do not have Ni Wenjun, Chen Youliang will still revolt and become the leader of the separatist side.

Or, he would have to wait until the fifteenth year of Zhizheng, until Chen Youliang revolted in Huangpeng.

Then he killed Chen Youliang on the battlefield.

Lin Yuan asked Zhou Fu to be sent away and sat at the table to drink tea.

He was a little restless, and this feeling of restlessness has become stronger since he learned of Xu Shouhui's uprising.

Compared to Fang Guozhen and Liu Futong, Lin Yuan cares more about Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang's military intuition and sensitivity to war are not comparable to ordinary people. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang wins him, he has to say that there is a bit of luck.

Moreover, he is cruel enough and has almost no weakness. Lin Yuan feels that he has reason to believe that if he wants to kill his family in order to win a big position, Chen Youliang's eyes will not blink. He is a natural creature with power and desire, and he desires power. It was almost morbid, so he was an independent man, and no one could allow anyone to question him against his disagreement with him.

Lin Yuan took a sip of tea.

He can only wait for Chen Youliang's name to be born in three years.

"Am I too nervous?" Lin Yuan held his forehead and muttered to himself.

Two and two pour tea to Lin Yuan again.

He looked at Lin Yuan's headache and asked in a low voice, "Master, would you like to take a rest?"

Lin Yuan looked at Twenty Two, and he asked Twenty Two, "Twenty Two, how are you doing recently?"

A smile appeared on Erliang's face: "I live with my parents now, and I'm having a good time."

Two and two lowered their heads and said, "My mother showed me a daughter-in-law."

Lin Yuan was taken aback: "Are you done talking?"

Two and two smiled and said, "You know it too, it's Xiao Yao."

Xiao Yao is also a family-born child of the Lin Yuan family. Both parents are domestic servants. Compared with the servants who bought later, the family-born child has a much higher status.

Therefore, when choosing a parent, most of them also choose to have children.

Two and two also said to Lin Yuan: "My mother has discussed with her mother, we will get married when the battle in Changshu is over."

Lin Yuan said blankly, "Congratulations."

Two and two smirked.

Lin Yuan thought for a while: "I won't go there then."

Twenty-two was relieved, he didn't dare to invite Lin Yuan, otherwise no one would let go.

Lin Yuan patted Erliang on the shoulder: "Try to hold them for three years."

The two faces blushed.

At this time in Changshu, Jiang Zheng's face also blushed, but he was not shy.
