Chapter 994: Sacrifice your life and not your wealth
Hearing this voice, Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, and the original awe-inspiring killing intent on his face immediately turned into a kind smile.
He raised his head and said to the visitor with a smile: "It turned out to be Song Qianhu, Song Qianhu is not resting at home, why did he come here?" Isn't there something going on? ”
Before Song Ye followed Yang Feng, he was originally a military household in the Thousand Households of Jiangdong Gate, and in addition to his father and mother, he also had two younger sisters, and the whole family of five had not eaten a full meal throughout the year.
Since becoming Yang Feng's family, not only the whole family has eaten enough, but even his daughter-in-law has married, and his daughter-in-law gave birth to a son for him last year, making his father and mother happy like something.
It's just that he follows Yang Feng all the year round, and it is rare to go home all year round, this time after coming back to issue the official document of the Ministry of War and Yang Feng's edict to Li Zheng, he originally wanted to stay to assist Li Zheng in raising materials, but Li Zheng persuaded him to return home on the grounds that he rarely came back all year round, and hurried home to do his filial piety.
So Li Zheng didn't expect that Song Ye, who was supposed to come back tomorrow, would actually appear here in the middle of the night.
Li Zheng, who had a mixed smile of embarrassment, reluctance and surprise on his face, strode up to greet him and said with a smile: "Song Qianhu, why did you come over in the middle of the night, could it be that you have something uneasy about my Lao Li?" ”
It stands to reason that Li Zheng, as the commander of Jiang Ningwei of the third grade, is four levels higher than Song Ye, a thousand households of the fifth grade, and it is already very face-saving to be able to give Song Ye a smile on weekdays, but Song Ye's identity is not only a small thousand households, but he is the head of the family next to Grandpa Guo.
As the saying goes, the gatekeepers in the prime minister's mansion are all seven-grade officials, and you don't see that in modern society, even if the secretary of the county magistrate goes down to the grassroots level, the town mayors and township mayors all give the door to greet them, not to mention the henchmen of the grandfather.
Song Ye smiled: "Master Li doesn't have to be like this, Xia Guan has already visited his father and wife and children, and he is relieved to see that the family is fine." It's just that Grandpa Guo had instructed before leaving that this expedition is very important, and Jiang Ningwei must prepare for the expedition within three days, so the lower officials have to come over to take a look, otherwise they will have no bottom in their hearts. ”
"Oh...... That's right. Li Zheng smiled reluctantly, "Song Qianhu has a heart, you just have to rest assured, before noon tomorrow, this official will definitely prepare all the materials properly, and there will be no fork." ”
"Really?"
Song Ye smiled faintly, his gaze swept over the faces of the more than ten officers in the hall, and he nodded with all the expressions of everyone.
"Well, since Master Li has said so, the lower officials will not overstep their bounds, so what do you think of the lower officials coming over tomorrow at noon?"
"Don't worry, if something goes wrong, the official won't have the face to see the grandfather." Li Zheng slapped his chest with a thump.
"Hmm!"
Song Ye nodded, "In that case, then the lower official won't bother Master Li, and take his leave!" ”
Seeing that Song Ye was finally leaving, Li Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "It's good to send my brother away!" ”
"Oh...... That's right. ”
Song Ye, who had already turned around and walked two steps, suddenly stopped, and patted his head with a look of chagrin, "I almost forgot one thing, the Li experience is about you." ”
"Ah......" Li Ge was stunned.
"Lee experienced." Song Ye said to Li Ge: "Before I came, Grandpa Guo asked me to ask you, are you ready for the jade ore this time, Grandpa Guo is in a hurry." ”
Li Ge was slightly stunned, although Song Ye is the head of Yang Feng's family, he knows how to measure things very well, except for being in charge of his own affairs, he never cares about other things, and it is because of this that he can get Yang Feng's trust, but what happened to him today, he actually interfered in business matters?
However, Li Ge is also a smart person, and after being slightly stunned, he met Song Ye's eyes for less than two seconds, and then he understood that he had something to say to himself, and his face immediately showed a sudden realization: "Oh...... You're talking about the batch of ore from Myanmar, which was prepared last month and is now in the warehouse and ready to be taken away, do you want to check it now? ”
Song Ye showed a hint of embarrassment: "That's a good feeling, I happen to be free now, so let's bother Li to go and have a look with me." Commander, Xiaguan and Li Cheng went out to do something for Grandpa Guo, no problem, right? ”
"Grass...... You have come to ask Lao Tzu under the banner of Grandpa Guo, do you dare to say no? ”
Li Zheng scolded his mother for a while, but his mouth was full of smiles: "Of course there is no problem, although Song Qianhu is busy, the matter of Grandpa Guo is important." ”
"Nacheng, the commander will be busy first, and the subordinate will leave first!"
Looking at the two figures that disappeared at the door, Li Zheng's face, who was originally smiling, immediately sank, and his right hand clenched his fist and slapped it heavily on the case, making a muffled bang.
Looking at Li Zheng's face that was so heavy that he could almost wring out water, the more than ten officers in front of him didn't even dare to breathe. For a long time, a thousand-household official said with some trepidation: "Lord Commander, Grandpa Guo is about to arrive, but our supplies have not been prepared yet, and Li Ge is always in disobedience, what should we do?" ”
Li Zheng scolded: "Are you stupid, still ask me about this kind of thing?" Didn't you hear what the official just said, no matter what, all the grain and grass materials must be collected by noon tomorrow. Li Ge thought that if he didn't give us the silver, we wouldn't be able to raise supplies, and he also underestimated Lao Tzu. ”
After sneering twice, Li Zheng said with a solemn expression: "Everyone, you have followed me Li all these years, and one by one you have also made a lot of silver, and you can eat and drink spicy food on weekdays, and some even have married several concubines.
Now that something happens, you should do something about it. Now that things have come to this point, don't even think about running away one by two, so let's go, you all go back later, and each of you will take out five thousand taels of silver and hand them over to Lao Tzu, let's go to Jinling overnight to buy grain and grass, and be sure to fill the gap before noon tomorrow, understand? ”
"Four thousand taels per person?"
Hearing that Li Zheng opened his mouth was four thousand taels per person, many people's faces showed hesitation. This amount of silver is enough to buy a good house in Jinling City, and then buy a beautiful concubine.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Seeing these people looking distressed, Li Zheng felt angry, strode over and slapped Mr. Qian, who had just spoken.
"A group of fools who sacrifice their wealth and do not give up their lives, you people have been following me for many years, and you have earned one or two thousand or two thousand, and at least seven or eight thousand taels at the less, and now just asking you to take out a few thousand taels of silver is like asking for your life. Let me tell you, if the East Window incident happens, don't talk about the silver, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save your life, don't you know the means of Grandpa Guo? ”
