Taiyuan, General Quan's Mansion.

Liu Zongmin listened to the crying woman's voice in the bedroom with satisfaction, laughed, and said, "Come on, reward this woman with five hundred taels." Today, this marquis is happy! Hahaha......"

"Obey the orders of the Marquis of Ru......" Liu Zongmin strode forward, and the slaves around him retreated one after another to dodge, and fell to the ground in unison. Among them, a white-faced and beardless man screamed. Obviously, this is a eunuch who escaped from the Jin Palace, and now he has changed himself and joined Liu Zongmin's mansion as an internal servant.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, there are no eunuchs in places that are not palaces and palaces. Even if ordinary people use it, once they are found, they will inevitably be tabooed by the emperor.

But Liu Zongmin used it aggressively, not caring at all about being discovered.

Seeing that Liu Zongmin was in a good mood, the eunuch stood up, thinking about a note he received last night, walked over gently, and said respectfully: "General Quan, Tian Lansheng and Zhai Tang ask to see each other, each with generous gifts, a total of no less than five boxes, and there are two Datong nuns, who want to enter the Hou Mansion to pray for the general." ”

When he heard the names of Tian Lansheng and Zhai Tang, Liu Zongmin's expression remained unchanged, but when he heard that there were no less than five boxes of generous gifts, Liu Zongmin had a smile on his face, especially when he said that the two Datong nuns were going to enter the Hou Mansion to pray for him Liu Zongmin, Liu Zongmin laughed out loud: "These two profiteers are really good intentions!" Not to mention the boxes of gifts, didn't the two Datong nuns come to play? I just made a name and said that I was here to pray for blessings. Haha, such intentions, eh...... General Ben is going to see it! ”

Shanxi Datong's mother-in-law has always had a reputation for beauty, and the gifts in the five boxes are also rare and generous, and I don't know what Liu Zongmin was surprised about.

Through the hall, Liu Zongmin saw Tian Lansheng and Zhai Tang in the flower hall.

Tian Lansheng and Zhai Tang are both good looks. It's not that he looks handsome, but that he has a rich figure, smiles before speaking, and has a sleek face, looking like a typical businessman.

At this moment, the two of them felt relaxed for a while.

They couldn't help but recall the days of exploration in the city. At the beginning, Zhai Tang spread the word that Liu Zongmin tortured Sun Kangzhou, just taking advantage of the situation and taking advantage of the gap between the Manchu Qing and Li Zicheng's transaction to vent a bad breath. But if you want to hide it from Li Zicheng this time, you can't do kung fu by Li Zicheng's side.

The entry of the Shun army into the city made the order of Taiyuan City as if it had changed the day, and naturally, the people who held the power also changed quickly. Correspondingly, many people from the Taiyuan Yamen are not needed.

This time, the two of them have to do something very important, so naturally they have to find someone who can do it. However, when the order changed, chaos suddenly appeared. Tian Lansheng found two capable people in a row, but they all suddenly changed their hexagrams.

The first was Shanxi Tixue Dao Li Zhixi, who surrendered to the Shun army. This Li Zhichen can be called a noble figure in Shanxi officialdom, but he embezzled the three thousand taels of silver given by the King of Jin in the defense of the city, so that in the end, the defense of the city could only be filled with merit votes.

Tian Lansheng and the others didn't care about Li Zhichen's discipline. But what is amazing is that Li Zhichen just received the request, and the next day he occasionally felt cold and uncomfortable, and within a few hours, he suddenly fell ill and died.

The second one was not a surrendered Ming army official, but Liu Dang, the general of the Shun army. Unfortunately, after careful inquiry, this Liu Dang suddenly accepted the money and regretted it.

The two who almost collapsed finally made a bloody investment, opened their brains, and found the way of Ma Chongxi, the general under Li Yan's account.

Xu is capital spent is large enough, and when Ma Chongxi saw a few people coming, he finally responded. After some frowning, they finally let them see Allah, and successfully followed the military division of Ma Chongxi next to them to see Liu Zongmin.

"Just rest assured, the gifts prepared this time have a miraculous effect." Beside Tian Lansheng, an ordinary-looking man said with a smile. This is Ma Chongxi's military advisor, Lu Huaigu.

Tian Lansheng and Zhai Tang nodded again and again, thinking that this master would be able to finalize and see Liu Zongmin today, and they had more trust in their hearts.

When a few people were muttering, the sound of footsteps outside came, and the three of them paid attention one after another, carefully looking at Liu Zongmin who came out of the back of the hall.

It's just that Tian Lansheng, who saw Liu Zongmin for the first time, sighed that Liu Zongmin, the famous No. 1 general under the command of the Chuang Army, was actually a middle-aged man with a pale face.

Liu Zongmin is only thirty-seven years old this year, and in later generations, this is only the age of a man's prime. But Liu Zongmin, who was born as a blacksmith, has an aging face and prominent bones, saying that he is thirty-seven years old, and he guesses that he is fifty years old, and others think it is normal.

Slightly disappointed in his heart, Tian Lansheng didn't dare to slack off, he glanced at Zhai Tang, and stepped forward to pay respects.

The two saluted first, and then Tian Lansheng said urgently: "The villain Tian Lansheng greets General Quan." This is a little courtesy between me and Brother Zhai, and I hope General Quan will accept it with a smile. ”

A few strong men came in with five large boxes, which were about three feet long, wide and high, and had an astonishing capacity.

Liu Zongmin bowed slightly, not impressed.

Suddenly, Lu Huaigu said softly, "Open the box." ”

Zhai Tang was stunned for a moment, and his heart was a little anxious. Ordinary gifts, how can there be such a direct. I also opened the box, which is also not eating? is so direct, anyone in the officialdom who cares about it has to turn his face on the spot, indicating that he still has a little bit of incorruptible backbone.

However, several strong men were brought by this military division, and they were very obedient, and they were about to open the box.

Not long after, two boxes of shadows, one box of gold, and two boxes of pearls and jade were revealed, and the jewels were shining, and the gold and silver were shining.

Zhai Tang and Tian Lansheng stood respectfully, they didn't dare to come out, and their breathing was suppressed a little.

Liu Zongmin glanced at the color in the box, and finally had a smile on his face: "A little sincerity, okay, sit down and talk." ”

The two of them suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and in a short period of time, the two of them actually felt as if they were separated from each other. Finally, they understood that the new dynasty was established, which was different from the rules of the previous Ming Dynasty.

The only thing that makes people complain in their hearts is that Daming still has a rule, and Liu Zongmin, the first general of the army, is not particular about eating at all, and he is direct.

No matter how the two of them reconciled, Lu Huaigu opened his mouth again, and looked like a thief: "Xie Ruhou." General Ma asked me to say hello to the Marquis of Ru. This time, the two clever men didn't just bring these things. The most important ...... And these! ”

"Oh? Ma Chongxi, I remember this name. Liu Zongmin sat with a prickly sting, looking unconcerned.

Lu Huaigu clapped his hands gently.

A short time later, two nuns dressed in white walked in.

It is said that if you want to be pretty, you must be filial. The two nuns were dressed in white and plain, with clear eyebrows and beautiful faces, coupled with the temptation of the abstinence of being a nun, which suddenly gave Liu Zongmin a temptation that was difficult to return in seconds.

"Anitabha, poor nun, please pray for the Hou Ye in the backyard."

"Anitabha, poor nun, please pray for the Hou Ye in the backyard."

……

The two little nuns spoke in the same voice, talking delicately, and Liu Zongmin felt a burst of heat in his abdomen in vain. The desire that had just been fed in the morning suddenly burned again.

"Good...... That's good. Liu Zongmin squinted his eyes, looked at the two nuns, and was in a happy mood: "Pray in the backyard, haha, General Ben has accepted it!" Of course, General Ben does not take advantage of you. Come, go and get a thousand taels of silver. These two nuns General Ben bought! ”

"Wait!" Zhai Tang got up, looked flattering, and said with a smile: "General Quan, please slow down...... The villain did not come today to sell this woman. but to give silver to the general. ”

"Oh?" Liu Zongmin looked at the two carefully.

Seeing Zhai Tang get up, Lu Huaigu fumbled for the teacup in his hand, and quietly twisted the lid of the cup to the left.

"This is the emperor and the Manchu Qing Dynasty to artisans and the two merchants who exchanged the soldiers for the goods of the north, I heard that it was unfortunate recently, they were pitted by the Tartars, and the goods they bought were slightly inferior, so that they were in a hurry to sell the goods and go out to return to the capital. The amount of the silver earned should be the same. Beside Liu Zongmin, the white-faced eunuch said softly.

Liu Zongmin squinted his eyes and nodded imperceptibly: "Send silver?" It seems that your plan is not small. It's a greeting gift again, and it's a little nun again. Hmph, if you have any tricks, just say it. If you can do it, you should do it. Learning from the twists and turns of those readers, I don't want to repeat it. ”

Zhai Tang said yes, but his heart was quietly relaxed.

Tian Lansheng coughed lightly, pretending to be embarrassed and said, "This time, the villain went north, but he was unexpectedly pitted by the Tartars. So that this batch of leather beef tendon is not easy to sell, and seeing that the transaction period with Shunhuang is not far away, I am really worried. If General Quan is willing to help, the villain is willing to give one-third of the profit of about 120,000 taels this time to the ......."

"Forty thousand taels, ......" Liu Zongmin exclaimed in his heart, and he was hot. Forty thousand taels of silver, for future generations, this is the number of hundreds of millions. A single bribe is indeed particularly amazing.

"I want half!" Liu Zongmin's expression was faint, and a playful smile appeared in his eyes.

"Only half?" Tian Lansheng exclaimed, when did Liu Zongmin speak so well.

But instead, Tian Lansheng was dragged behind by Lu Huai: "It's half of all the profits." This is a righteous act. If you don't help, you won't be able to get even a tael of silver when the time comes, let alone 120,000 yuan! ”

As he spoke, Lu Huaigu pulled Tian Lansheng hard.

Hearing this, Tian Lansheng and Zhai Tang looked at each other, looking stunned by their big appetite.

In fact, the hearts of the two have long been happy. They are traveling thousands of miles and doing business between the two regimes, where will there be a profit of 120,000 taels?

What's more, the so-called purchase loss was cheated by the Mongols, which is just a false excuse to find the reason.

After this trip to business, they can all net at least 150,000 taels.

The more this happened, the more the two of them pretended to have a painful expression, and stomped their feet fiercely, and then they responded: "Then please ask General Quan!" ”

"Well said, well said. Talking to smart people is a hassle-free! Liu Zongmin laughed: "This time, I will hand a piece to Niu Jinxing, and he will sell me a face." ”

……

To the east of Taiyuan City, near the Yichun Gate, is the garden of the Jin Palace. But at this moment, the Jin Wangfu, which once occupied the entire Taiyuan City in the palace territory, has changed its owner, the King of Jin was hanged at the city gate, all the family property was confiscated, and his wife and children were either scattered or knocked into the barracks as camp prostitutes, and the remaining palace maids and servants have been transformed, and after being screened for a round, they became Li Zicheng's close attendants.

At this moment, the garden of the Jin Wangfu, not far from the Yichun Gate of Taiyuan City, has also become a huge warehouse, and has become a trading place used by Dashun for trading.

At this moment, this warehouse is full of northern goods from Saibei.

Such a place with a strong merchant atmosphere actually attracted Li Zicheng, the emperor of Dashun State, at this moment. The one-eyed Li Zicheng changed into a dragon robe and arrived here on the chariot carried by eight strong eunuchs.

Just by looking at the many goods in front of you, you can understand that this is a big deal.

There are more than 100,000 skins, countless skins that are rarely seen on weekdays, and traditional northern goods used to make longbow leather armor such as tendons.

It's just that these attract only those merchants who follow the Shun army to make a fortune.

Li Zicheng is now the emperor of the Great Shun Kingdom, so he naturally doesn't look down on such a little ordinary goods.

Walking slowly to a well-guarded house, Li Zicheng walked down, accompanied by the main generals of the army. The core generals and civil officials of the Dashun Army are almost all here this time.

Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Li Yan, Ren Jirong, Ma Chongxi. Only except for Liu Zongmin. This pro-military general in the middle camp is busy with his new task: to plunder the whole city and recover the stolen goods. encountered a few hard bones who refused to help, and Liu Zongmin had to go out in person.

For the financial operation of the Shun army, Li Zicheng agreed to Liu Zongmin's absence.

Li Zicheng stepped down and followed the characters to a wide and vast open space.

There, like a hill, there are countless goods.

In front of the goods, two merchants who had been waiting early with a group of men greeted them one after another.

"Grass People Zhai Tang ......"

"Grass people Tian Lansheng, knock long live my emperor, long live long live, long live......"

……

"All right, get up. What I want to see is not such a little leather deer antler Korean ginseng. Li Zicheng was very eager.

On the side, Niu Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at Ma Chongxi and bowed slightly. This time, Niu Jinxing responded to Liu Zongmin's request and told Li Zicheng that the goods could be delivered in advance. didn't think about it, Li Zicheng was overjoyed when he heard it.

Tian Lansheng and Zhai Tang, who were not familiar with military strategy, heard this, turned sideways, and led Li Zicheng to walk deeper into the mountain of goods.

There, silver flashed.

"These ...... It's armor! ”

"So many spears and swords......"

"There are so many armors? Where did it come from? It's amazing......"

"Wait, there's Texas on it. Isn't it, this is the capture of the previous war? ”

……

Li Yan and other generals began to discuss, carefully looking at the armor like a small hill, and they were all shocked. But instead, it was painful. Because, many of them are the gains of Jiannu who ravaged China. Now, they are all sold to Li Zicheng.

When Li Yan was really angry, he suddenly found that Li Zicheng was overjoyed when he saw this. (To be continued.) )
