Chapter 731: Fixing the Storm (Part II)

Chapter 731 (II)

400,000 taels of silver. It was gathered before dark, which was definitely beyond the expectation of silence, and he couldn't help but say to Xu Pengju opposite: "I heard that Nanjing City is hiding the dragon and crouching tiger, I really don't accept it." ”

Xu Pengju was also a little surprised, and asked the officer who came to report the news: "Why is it so fast, could it be that those iron roosters have changed sex?" He explained to Shen Mo: "I'm not afraid of adult jokes when I say it, after the incident, my brother sent someone to ask for a loan, and it took a lot of effort to borrow less than 20,000 taels in two days, and it was not enough to plug the teeth." He said, "It's still your face." ”

Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "There must be something strange." ”

"Indeed, those old fortunes are still a dime," the military general said without being shocked, "This silver is actually borrowed from a person." ”

'Poof......' Xu Pengju was taking a sip of tea, and immediately sprayed it when he heard the words, but fortunately, he still knew how to avoid silence and sprayed the general's face.

Shen Mo smiled and picked up the white towel on the table, let him wipe it himself, and asked, "Tell me where the rich man came from?" ”

The military general wiped his face clean, and raised his head towards Xu Peng: "Grandpa should have heard of that Danyang Shao hero." ”

"He ......" Xu Pengju showed a sudden and surprised expression, and said with a smile: "How could it be him?" ”

"Hero?" Shen Mo said strangely: "When did the people in the rivers and lakes become so rich?" ”

"Hehe, my brother doesn't know." Xu Pengju saw that it was rare to know something that he knew but didn't know silently, how could he not show off, and said: "This Shao Daxia, he is actually not a hero, he is a ......" After thinking for a while, he found that he couldn't describe this person, so he had to say: "Non-Confucian, non-businessman, non-monk, non-Taoist, such a character who is nothing." ”

"Isn't that a gangster?" He smiled silently.

"He's much more powerful than a gangster, at least a ......" Xu Peng said: "Gangster, it's not very accurate." I had to give up showing off, and said to the general: "You tell Lord Jinglue about where Shao Daxia is sacred." ”

Who is this Shao Daxia, even the dignified prince is like thunder, and it is really strange to be silent, so he listened to the military general's narration: "That person's surname is Shao Mingfang, and he is our family from Danyang County, Tianfu." Although his family is not a prestigious family, but it is also a scholarly family, Shao Fang is the only son in the family, and has been loved by thousands of people since he was a child...... "Listening to him like a number of family treasures, it is like talking about his own family, silently and secretly, it seems that this Shao Daxia is still a legend: "This person doesn't like to read, but unlike those of us who are rough and confused when they look at 'Zhihu Ye', he is extremely smart, and what 'reciting backwards, passing through the eyes' is a small dish, so under his father's stick." I have also read books for a few years, and I can do it right in poetry," he said, his eyes shining: "The lyrics of the tunes he made can be sung on the Qinhuai River the next day. ”

"You have to ......" Xu Peng scolded and said: "Let you get down to business, why did you go to the kiln?" He said with a smile: "Has my brother been to the banks of the Qinhuai River?" ”。 Seeing Shen Mo shaking his head, he fussed and said, "What haven't you ever been?" You're a man for nothing......"

A wry smile hung on the corner of Shen Mo's mouth: "I will definitely see it in the future, but let's talk about Shao Daxia first." ”

"Oh, Shao Daxia." The military general returned to the topic and said: "That Shao Fang grew to fifteen or sixteen, so he sneaked out of the house, first went to Shaolin Temple to learn boxing, kicking and sticks for a few years, and then thought it was too boring, and then went to Maoshan to learn feng shui talisman with Niu Bi, it is said that he also had to teach the secret art of the true transmission of the heavenly master, anyway, the ability is great, three hundred and sixty lines, he is proficient in all walks of life, there is nothing he will not do." ”

"Although this man does not study, does not do business, and does not do anything serious, he is so busy every day that his feet do not touch the ground. Specializing in making friends with some promiscuous, dog-slaughtering boxers, monks and Taoists, and even eunuchs, eunuchs in the inner court, people of all colors in the three religions and nine streams, etc., there is no one who is not familiar with him, there is no one who he can't speak, and over time, he has earned a great reputation on the ground of Yingtianfu, calling for wind and rain, and omnipotent, so people call him Shao Daxia. ”

"It turned out to be a timely and rainy character...... "If you want to say that there are still cultured people with strong generalization, Xu Pengju didn't describe the things for a long time, and he was silent and settled in one sentence.

"Yes, it's exactly like Song Gongming." Xu Peng nodded and praised: "But that guy is much better looking than the black charcoal head, he is tall and decent," said with a smile: "Qin Huaihe's famous Pan Donkey Deng Xiaoxian is like a character like Ximen Qing." ”

"Ximen Qing? The one on "Water Margin"? Thinking about it silently, there is no description of the Ximen officials in "Water Margin", at best, he is a rich man who steals people's wives and >, how can he deserve the glorious title of these five words.

"It's the one on "Water Margin", but it's not," Xu Pengju said with a kind of excitement that men know: "It's inconvenient to say now, I just have a set of manuscripts that I bought at a high price, and I will send them to your room at night, so you can taste them slowly." ”

Shen Mo knew what he was talking about, but he was curious that the strange book had really come out? He did not refuse.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To get back to the point, the military general told Shen Mo that they had hit walls everywhere in the morning. In the afternoon, when they were eating together in the restaurant, Shao Daxia came and said that he was willing to give the 400,000 taels of silver. However, they told Shao Fang that according to the requirements of the rebel army, 400,000 taels do not need silver tickets, as long as they are cash, it is 25,000 catties! Even if all the silver numbers, pawnshops and ticket numbers in Nanjing City are emptied, I am afraid that I will not be able to make up so much silver for a while.

What is surprising is that Shao Fang did not frown, so he took them to the Caoliang Wharf, pointed to a grain ship and said: "On the ship, you can send someone to accept it, if there is surplus, it will be considered hard work." ”

The generals took the account room to the ship, moved the bundles of straw, and saw baskets of silver piled up in front of them, and stopped everyone, it was really a whole boatload of silver! If it weren't for the burning eyebrows on Chongxi Street, they would really want to eat black......

Look at the understatement, as if Shao Fang, who regards the silver mountain as dirt, in the eyes of everyone. It became more and more mysterious, spiritual, and Shinto.

However, the main matter was important, and they didn't care about their feelings, so the generals gathered the money village and the account office of the silver number in Nanjing City, and the men came over, and under the supervision of the heavy soldiers, they counted and verified it for a whole afternoon, until dusk, the tired face of the big shopkeeper of the Huilian number bowed to Shen Mo, Xu Pengju and others who came to inquire about it, and cleared his throat and said: "I report to you that you know, the results are out, and this time a total of 48,627 silver ingots were received, including 3,720 ingots of yuansi." Thirteen thousand three hundred and seven ingots of filament, twenty thousand three hundred and seventy ingots of thick filament, and the rest of the variegated colors were also on eight counts, and finally folded into silver," he said, presenting the account book in his hand and saying, "A total of four hundred and eight thousand three hundred taels." ”

The casting process of silver is more special, the silver ingots made will gradually produce silk lines because of the increase in fineness, the higher the fineness of the silver, the finer and tighter the silk lines on the silver ingots cast, the lower the fineness, the coarser and sparse the silk lines, and the purity of silver is less than ninety percent, and there is no silk pattern directly. The people of this era used this particularity to identify the fineness of the silver taels.

And the daily term "one tael of silver" refers to one tael of full-scale silver stipulated by the government, that is, filament silver with a purity of ninety percent and three. When the corresponding coarse silk silver is folded into patterned silver, every fifty taels will cost two taels of water, and the higher purity of the yuan silk silver will be two or four coins of water; As for eighty percent of the variegated silver, five taels of water per fifty-two liters, and the finest silk silver, five taels of water...... It's just that it's so high purity here.

In the last calculation, not only 400,000 taels is enough, but also more than 8,000, according to Shao Daxia's words, it is hard work for everyone......

"Where is Shao Fang?" In fact, Shen Mo had long wanted to see that Shao Daxia, but Fang Caiyin had not yet been verified, and as a southeast economic strategy, he naturally had to be reserved, and he would not be summoned until the results came out.

Everyone began to look at each other and everywhere, but they couldn't find Shao Fang's figure, after all, no matter how handsome Shao Daxia was, he didn't have a basket of silver to look at, so no one stared at him, and let him leave silently.

They are looking at each other. A delicate little guy with a double bun rowed over from the river, and said in a crisp voice: "So that all the big officials know that since the silver is enough, my lord will take the first step if he has something." ”

"I haven't taken the IOU yet...... someone shouted, the stack of white flowers of IOUs is still in their hands, and it has not yet been delivered to Shao Fang.

"No need," the little guy said: "My master said, I can trust you ......" Saying this, the boat has gradually disappeared and disappeared into the twilight, leaving only a sigh of amazement, everyone knows that Shao Daxia's extraordinary life will inevitably add an incomparably magical stroke.

But in the night, no one saw the unhappiness on Shen Mo's face, although this Shao Fang helped him a lot, he also lost his adulthood. This kind of thing should be low-key and low-key, just like since Silent began to deal with the mutiny, he has always followed a guideline, that is, to minimize the impact, it is best to let the people know nothing, and can only rely on guessing and making up to describe this matter, and the crisis will be successfully handled.

Originally, he had been doing a good job, but as soon as he let this Shao Fang stir up, he directly gave up his efforts...... I'm afraid that tomorrow on the Qinhuai River, there will be a rumor that 'the trapped mutiny, Shen Jing has no plan to ask for help; drove the silver boat Shao Daxia generously helped', and threw the faces of Shen Mo and the southeast officials to his grandmother's house.

So although he praised on his face: "It's really a chivalrous man who is anxious for justice and righteousness!" "In his heart, he scolded the 'bastard' more than a dozen times in a row before he was relieved, but he was angry, and it was the right thing to do by exchanging silver for talent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taking a few deep breaths, calming down his emotions, he said to Qi Jiguang silently: "General Qi, you will lead the army to escort Yinliang." ”

"Order!" Qi Jiguang responded in a deep voice, and ordered the pro-army to load the counted silver into the truck, and loaded a full thirty carts, and this process was also carried out in full view. But there was a hiccup...... Zhu Wu walked to the side of the remaining eight thousand taels of silver, and smiled at the little official who was making an inventory: "These silvers are quite chic, can I exchange my own for some to play?" ”

Those little officials looked at the pile of silver ingots and looked ugly, clumsy, and couldn't see where they were chic, but when they saw Zhu Wuyi's bright yellow flying fish suit, and looked at the silver ingots in his hand that flashed with silver light and bent like the moon, they knew that it was the treasure silver cast by the official treasury of the household department in Beijing.

As a result, Zhu Wu's silver ingot was carefully inspected, and he saw that there was no silk on it, as thin as a spider web; The roots of the feet have eyes and stomachs, dense as bees, and it is indeed the treasure and silver of the household, so he said respectfully: "You always look at it." ”

Zhu Wu picked a few pieces casually, wrapped them carefully and said, "Hehe, not bad...... " After speaking, he left. Those little officials were confused, and they could only regard it as the quirk of the old man of Jinyiwei, so they continued to look down and count.

After collecting the money, Zhu Wu saw that Shen Mo was looking at him, so he hurriedly walked to his side and asked, "What do you command?" ”

"Inform those people that the money has been raised, and I can guarantee in writing what I said this morning, as for the second article, I still have the same attitude, I can show mercy outside the law, but I must immediately return to the barracks, I guarantee in the name of the Southeast Economic Strategy that no matter when, I will not send people into the nine camps to arrest people, and this can also be written." Shen Mo said slowly: "There is a limit to the patience of this official, and the troops must be withdrawn before midnight, otherwise all my promises will be null and void." ”

Zhu Wu should come down, walked out of the crowd, got on the horse and prepared to give orders, but he really felt in his heart that the adults had put up too much, and it would still be a trouble if the other party had to insist on the original three. But in any case, the adult is the biggest, and the order can only be executed, so he can only try to be as thoughtful as possible, and don't make any mistakes.

Worried, he turned the horse to the silver side, he saw Qi Jiguang staring at those big carts with all his attention, looking at his seriousness, Zhu Wu wanted to make a joke and relax, so he said: "No, Yuan Jing, so many people are watching, who dares to hack our silver?" ”

"That's not necessarily," Qi Jiguang said lightly: "If you don't keep an eye on it, there is really that cheap person who takes the silver, and when the military law is like a mountain, everyone will have a hard time." ”

"Well, no wonder you never lose battles," Zhu Wu admired: "It turns out that everything is not for no reason." ”

"Falsely praised." Qi Jiguang smiled slightly, and when he saw that all the silver had been loaded, he said, "It's time to go." ”

"Let's drive to the garrison first." Zhu Wudao: "I'll negotiate with them, how can I not do that kind of stupid business of paying the bill first and then picking up the goods." ”

Jiguang nodded, and then led two thousand pro-troops, escorted thirty carts, and drove towards the garrison yamen. Zhu Wu went to Chongxi Street, and when he was on the road, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he looked back, he was vaguely dressed as a silent soldier, and when the person entered, he found that it was three feet.

"Fifth master, my family asked me to bring a message." Three-foot road.

"What do you command?" Zhu Wu asked in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency has already sent those generals to be lobbyists inside." Sanchi said: "You only need to pass on the adult's words in their original form later, and then wait outside for good news." ”

"If those straw bales work," Zhu Wu said unconvincedly, "We still need to spend all these troubles?" ”

"Maybe it didn't work before, but now it works?" Sanchi smiled and said, "I brought the words here, it's your business to listen or not, I have to go back to guard the adults." As he spoke, he clenched his fists, turned his horse's head and ran away.

"Inexplicable......" Zhu Wu shook his head, and arrived in front of Chongxi Street with a full stomach of questions, and his subordinates asked, "Fifth Master, what should we do?" ”

"Spread the word to ......" Zhu Wu snorted: "After the transmission, come back and wait to see which one it is." He still remembered that the messenger was convincing, and the three conditions were absolutely uncompromising, so he didn't believe that he could turn around so quickly.

After a while, it was completely dark, but the soldiers lit thousands of torches, illuminating Chongxi Street as if it were day, and Zhu Wu hid under the torches, staring at the rebels on the opposite side with a pair of eyes dimly.

I don't know how long it took, there was a commotion on the other side, and then I saw a cadre of generals pulling out their horses, and the one led by them said loudly: "Go and report to the strategy, and you can withdraw the army after taking the salary!" ”

Zhu Wu in the shadows secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was even more puzzled in his heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although the subsequent procedure lasted for a long time, there was nothing to talk about, and the rebels got the silver taels, and also lifted the siege of the ministry yamen, and after distributing the spoils on the spot, they each withdrew to the camp.

At the time of the second watch, the Qi family army, who had completed the task of escorting the silver two, took advantage of the situation to protect the yamen of the ministry and the courtyard, and at the same time cleared the scene, and finally restored the silence on Chongxi Street, which had been noisy for five days and nights.

"Knock knock knock......" A heavy knock sounded on the door, and Qi Jiguang called the door according to the silent instructions: "The last general Qi Jiguang came to pick up the driver, please open the door!" ”

After a long time, no one answered, and when Qi Jiguang was about to knock, he finally heard a squeak, the gate slowly came, and the hundred officials of Nanjing Jiuqing, who had been besieged for six days and five nights, walked out of the yamen in a queue, although everyone was extremely distressed, they still maintained their due dignity; When everyone walked in front of Qi Jiguang, they all saluted and thanked him, Qi Jiguang has never received so many civil gifts in his life, and it is estimated that he will not have this opportunity in the future, but he does not feel that he enjoys it at all, but is like a man, so he knows why the adults don't show up at this time, but have to do it for themselves.

The second update, now everyone believes it, who still has a guaranteed monthly pass, give me more fuel......
