How many landlords there are in the Ming Dynasty can not be counted, and no one can guess how much surplus grain there is in the landlord's family, and sometimes, the landlord is not in the many, and one or two fat enough can be enough.

Are there big landlords on the way south?

Yes!

"King De of Jinan?" Chunxiang's eyes lit up.

Although the five northern provinces have been in constant turmoil in the past few months, and Shandong has also been affected, Jinan has miraculously escaped the thief army and the Qing army, all of which have passed by without being damaged.

"But Zhu Youshu, the king of Xinde, has been on the throne for four years, how much money can he have, you must know that five years ago, when the Qing army entered the customs for the fourth time, the city of Jinan was broken and plundered, and even the king of Germany, Zhu Youshu, was also captured and killed, and the palace was almost burned down by a fire."

"Four years of interest is enough to knock a fortune" Chang Yu smiled slightly: "You never know how superb the means of these vassal kings are to collect money, not to mention anything else, just their tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in a year is already considerable, even in a disaster year, it is not expensive, and there are other big landowners on the ground in Shandong besides him."

"King Lu of Yanzhou Mansion?" Chunxiang's jaw dropped in shock: "You even have to give a hairless chicken."

Two years ago, the Qing army entered Shandong and re-entered Shandong, although it did not attack Jinan City, but went deep into the hinterland to plunder, Yanzhou was not spared, Lu Wang's iron rooster was not plucked, and finally the soldiers resisted the unfavorable city and broke the Lu Palace, and the whole of the Lu Wangfu was almost killed, Zhu Yihai escaped by luck, and he just attacked the lord at the beginning of the year, and now he is an empty shell...... "Big brother, you want to kill the Lu Wangfu" Chunxiang said startled, looked left and right mysteriously and asked: "It won't be the emperor's meaning, take the opportunity to get it?" ”

Chang Yu laughed and shook his head gently: "The emperor doesn't look down on him like him, but he is exempt from the pulse, but I don't see him well, and I have to knock him a little bit to relieve his hatred when passing by this time."

"I can see it, there are few feudal kings who can make you look at it, except for your brother-in-law, Taiyuan" Chunxiang smiled, and said: "King Lu is now empty shell, you can only knock three or five taels, and King De will get a few thousand stones if you die, this is far from enough, this way south to Nanjing is not a big family to knock you, but what should I do?" ”

"In your eyes, no, I can see a lot here" Chang Yu said and smiled: "Octopus now has grain in Xuzhou, who knows the territory of Xuzhou?" ”

"Gao Jie!" Chunxiang's eyes lit up: "It just so happens that Gao Jie has something in your hands now, what do you want...... Big brother, you're not afraid to push him into a hurry......"

Chang Yu chuckled and shook his fingers: "Blindly suppressing and coercing will eventually lead to bitter fruits, so give him some benefits appropriately, a slap and a sugar, he will be happy and I will be happy."

"Sugar? Big brother, what candy can you give him? Chunxiang was curious, and while he was talking, Cao Cao arrived, and the fan outside the door reported that Gao Jie was here.

"You watched what candy my brother gave him to eat" Chang Yu smiled sinisterly and let Fanzi pass Gao Jie in.

Gao Jie's face was very solemn and haggard, and he was very afraid in his heart, his henchmen would actually make trouble during the emperor's military parade, as the top boss, he could not escape the blame, and to say that after making a plan for him, it was a big crime to rob the family and destroy the ancestors, which was by no means a trivial matter.

And Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo are actually the disaster of the pond fish, no matter how big they are, they can get out of the way.

It's not good, this head is going to be explained in the capital, Gao Jie has been on pins and needles for the past two days, he always feels that someone is deliberately manipulating him, but there is no evidence, and now if the catastrophe is coming, if it is a big deal outside the city, he will run away, but being under house arrest in the city is like meat on the board to be chopped up.

You have to save yourself, Gao Jie has run a lot of relationships in the past two days, but he is still at a loss, many people avoid this kind of thing, even if they want to help, they can't help it, because there is a suspicion of assassinating the emperor and rebelling and directly handed over to Dongchang to deal with it with full authority.

Therefore, in the end, I have to find the little eunuch.

Li Chengdong of the dog day, why do you want to kill yourself to pull Lao Tzu, why is it Lao Tzu, not Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie is about to die of hatred in his heart.

But he was about to die, and he was afraid of death, for fear that the fans of Dongchang would suddenly lock him.

I'm afraid of what's coming, the fan of the East Factory really came, saying that the factory was invited, but fortunately he didn't bring a lock.

Gao Jie entered the lobby and thought that Chang Yu and Chunxiang had met each other: "The factory governor summoned each other, but the emperor has a letter?" ”

"General Gao has lunch?" Chang Yu didn't answer him directly, but asked casually, Gao Jie was stunned: "The humble post is in a hurry, and I haven't eaten yet."

"That's right, we haven't eaten it at home, let's eat it together" said and let Fang San serve the wine, the wine was specially prepared for Gao Jie, and he was not polite to drink one cup after another.

"The factory governor said it bluntly, can you still keep your head from your humble position?" Seeing that Chang Yu didn't speak for a long time, Gao Jie finally couldn't help it.

"Whether you can keep it or not depends on how you choose?" Chang Yu smiled faintly, put down the dishes and chopsticks and stared at Gao Jie: "The road is at your feet, it depends on how you walk."

Gao Jie's head was not so flexible, he couldn't understand it at all, so he bowed down and saluted: "Master Changgong, give me a good time, what's going on, does the emperor really want to punish me with death?" ”

Chang Yu waved his hand and motioned for Gao Jie to sit down, and then said: "This governor respects you as a cheerful person and won't go around in circles for you, Li Chengdong and his cronies are now dead and have no proof, this messy matter can be big or small, this matter completely depends on the emperor's mood."

Gao Jie was not so stupid as to be incorrigible, and raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Does the factory governor mean that the emperor wants to take the opportunity to pinch me?" Although Li Chengdong has an unshirkable responsibility for making a mess and a humble position, there is no overdoing it in the past, and the emperor ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chang Yu waving his hand: "The emperor really wants to take the opportunity to take the opportunity, but not to pinch you."

"It's not pinch me, that's ......" Gao Jie's face was shocked: "Liu Zeqing and Huama Liu!" ”

Chang Yu nodded slightly, smiled and said nothing, Gao Jie was puzzled: "But Li Chengdong made trouble, the two of them were only implicated, so they wouldn't be handled."

"So that's why the governor called you alone" Chang Yu straightened his face: "To tell you the truth, Liu Zeqing was unruly, disobeyed and even resisted the order, Liu Liangzuo's general army plundered the people and even pretended to be thieves to attack the city, the emperor has long been unbearable, and he has no time to take advantage of the south to clean up the two now, you have been too close to the two of you recently, and you have won their trust...... Gao Zongbing, this is a good opportunity for you to atone for your crimes, as long as you bring down the two of you, Li Chengdong's matter will be written off."

Yes! Gao Jie was stunned on the spot, no matter how stupid he was, he understood that the little eunuch was going to borrow a knife to kill people, and if he wanted to use his power to settle Er Liu and weaken his own strength, it was a good calculation.

But Erliu each has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and his strength is so easy to deal with, not to mention that the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, once the three of them run out of infighting, the little eunuch will spare him? …… Unless he stands on his side like Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong, and listens to him.

Seeing that he was hesitant, it can be seen that he is struggling in his heart, Chang Yu said: "Although this matter is a little difficult, it is not in vain."

Belch? Gao Jie looked up at the little eunuch with a blank expression.

"Afterwards, all the soldiers, horses, grain and grass are yours!" Chang Yu smiled faintly, Gao Jie patted the case and: "It's done!" ”

"Refreshing! The governor really didn't see the wrong person" Chang Yu was overjoyed to pour wine for him personally, and Gao Jie raised his glass and dried: "Lord Factory Governor, how do you say to do it?" ”

"This matter is not in a hurry, let's think about it in the long run" Chang Yu poured wine for him again.

Some people will ask, isn't it just to seize the power of the army, isn't it okay to kill Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, if this is the case, then it will be a mess, not to mention that the right crime cannot be found to kill the two at the moment, not to mention that it is more likely to disturb the morale of the army before the Southern Expedition, and the soldiers and horses of Er Liu will bomb the camp at any time, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses outside the city may still be able to control it, and those thousands of miles away will be scattered.

What's more, when the Southern Expedition is employing people, Chang Yu has to let Er Liu sell his life, and quietly seize power while working hard, this is the best way, and at the same time, he can be gracious and subdued by Gao Jie.

That's a lot of carvings in one stone.
