Chapter 5 Mobilizing the Strong

At that time, there were only hundreds of acres of fields left in the family, but they encountered major droughts and locusts year after year, not to mention that there was no harvest. At the very least, the grain collected is not enough to pay the taxes, and there is also the wages of the tenants.

Chen Shouye was furious, so he sold all these fields. In the name of a loser, he stubbornly followed the horse team to Saiwai, and more than ten years of wind and rain have been beaten.

Before he was forty years old, he had already repurchased 10,000 acres of fertile land, all of which were good land by the river. There are more than a dozen shops in various places.

He also controlled a large team of horses and monopolized business dealings with several Mongolian tribes.

Now, he is not yet fifty years old, and he can't afford to be sick because of the perennial wind and frost outside the plug, as well as the injuries of his early years. It's almost over!

In his drowsy dreams, he dreamed that when he was a teenager, he followed the horse team out of the jam, and as a result, he encountered a heavy snowstorm.

In the midst of the great snowstorm that had come earlier, the entire horse team was almost completely wiped out. At that time, Chen Shouye hid behind a big rock and kept praying to the gods and Buddhas......

Chen Shouye can't tell the difference between truth and memory. But at this time, the blizzard that was flying all over the sky and making the sky and the earth drowsy suddenly stopped.

A pillar of golden light shot down, enveloping Chen Shouye's body, making his almost frozen body warm up and very comfortable.

"I am the Ghost Emperor!"

Then Chen Shouye suddenly sobered up and sat up suddenly. only to realize that it was just a dream.

However, he was amazed to discover. I sat up, and my body, which had been gradually losing consciousness, was now restored.

Before Chen Shouye could shout, he saw that the door was suddenly pushed open. A whole bunch of his big wives. Sons and daughters all rushed up: "Master......"

"Daddy......"

"How could you be alright? We just saw a golden light in the house outside, and we thought it was on fire......

Today's Ghost Emperor Palace is particularly lively, with carriages and sedan chairs almost filling this place. These are all big figures with heads and faces in Guanzhong......

Although Guanzhong is dilapidated, it is not as rich as other places. But the rich and large families in Guanzhong are not necessarily less than in other places.

Chen Shouye jumped off a horse. Greet people casually. He has a big face and is familiar. Everywhere he went, he met acquaintances, people who met him one by one. It's like hell.

Didn't you say that Chen Shouye was very sick and was about to die? Why does he look so alive now that he can even ride a horse?

Chen Shouye smiled: "It's all up to the Ghost Emperor's blessing." Originally, I was really going to see Hades. Thanks to the Ghost Emperor Dazun, he should not be killed. Saved me!"

The people who heard it all looked sideways! It was the Ghost Emperor Dazun who appeared again! It seems that the bitter days of this natural disaster are coming to an end!

Although Shaanxi is poor, there are many wealthy families. In particular, this place, like Shanxi, is close to Mongolia. There are many wealthy businessmen who secretly do business with the Mongols!

Just like Chen Shouye, he is a wealthy man who relies on smuggling trade with the Mongols. Not only is there a lot of money under his command. There is also a fierce horse team, which is the horse thief on the steppe. There were also some Mongol tribes who were afraid of force.

Running a business on the steppe, engaging in such trade. If there is no strong force, it will be swallowed up a long time ago.

But it is still very rare for a business like Chen Shouye to do such a big business. Only the Jin merchants in Shanxi can be compared, and they are really rich and powerful.

But even Chen Shouye, when he came to this Ghost Emperor Palace, he was amazed!

Shaanxi has been plagued by drought and locust plagues for many years, and the people are struggling to make a living. Especially in northern Shaanxi, the drought is even worse.

Now, however, surrounded by green water, there are fields full of vibrant crops. And the pastures, where is there a half-arid appearance?

It's almost the same as the Hetao that is known as plugging the south of the Yangtze River. These places are now the fields of the Ghost Emperor Palace.

The original entire military fort had already been ordered by the emperor and all of them were given to the Ghost Emperor Palace, becoming the Zhuang Tian of the Ghost Emperor Palace.

Now, these rich and wealthy people have come to the outside of the Ghost Emperor Palace. Look at the miracle that has been passed down for a long time, in the whole thing

In the case of drought in the north, it is difficult to even draft water, but outside the Ghost Emperor Palace, there is constantly a stream of clear water gushing out, turning into a river to nourish the tens of thousands of acres of land.

These places were originally the fields of the military households, but they were all sent down by a holy decree from the emperor, and all of them became the fields of the Ghost Emperor's Palace. This time, the Ghost Emperor Palace is really rich!

If it's someone else's land, these brave guys for money may even find a way to grab it.

But this is the land of the Ghost Emperor, who is tired of being crooked, and wants to seize the land of the immortals? That is really when the eighteenth layer of hell can't clean up those black-hearted fools.

Anyway, it's like this now. These powerful families can only be amazed. I was envious and jealous in my heart, but as for hatred, I would never dare? Who doesn't know the magic of the Ghost Emperor Dazun?

Although I don't know what the Ghost Emperor sent to call them all this time, what important matters were discussed. But none of them dared not to give face.

Even like Zhang Million, he was directly carried by someone, but he was seriously ill and bedridden, and he was also carried to this ghost emperor palace.

Many people are looking at this product, obviously with yellow muscles and thin muscles, and they are going to die. was carried on the couch by several servants, but not long after entering the Ghost Emperor Palace, he walked out by himself with a ruddy face.

Such a scene simply shocked these wealthy families' jaws and made their jaws drop. Many people who sincerely believe in ghosts and gods simply kneel on the ground and kowtow for a long time.

The heroes of these places, one by one, honestly and belawlessly, walked into the Ghost Emperor's palace and kowtowed to the Ghost Emperor.

But at this time, a golden light shot out from the statue and hit a temple zhu standing next to him.

Seeing that the momentum of the temple Zhu changed suddenly, he shouted in his mouth: "I am the Great Venerable Ghost Emperor here!"

"The Great Venerable has appeared ......"

"The Great Venerable has appeared ......"

Looking like this, it seems that the Ghost Emperor is really attached to this temple blessing!

All of a sudden, all these unruly rich and powerful people suddenly knelt on the ground and looked at the past reverently.

"The state is not quiet, and the dragon is rampant. The temple Zhu shouted expressionlessly: "The deity is determined to save the people of the world and let the people enjoy peace and prosperity again." Now the evil dragon is about to enter the customs. This is the time for the Tao to eliminate the demons, and I hope that you will contribute money and efforts to tide over the difficulties together. The deity will remember your deeds!"

As he spoke, another flash of golden light returned to the idol. The temple sustained and collapsed limply to the ground.

No one thought that the Ghost Emperor Dazun called them here for such a thing, and for a while, they were a little cold.

At this time, Chen Shouye shouted first, his life was still saved by the Ghost Emperor Dazun, at this time, where is there anything that does not show Xiàn: "What Dazun said is reasonable, those invading troops are locusts." I can't see us as a wealthy family. If we kill it back, we won't be able to do any good, and we must not let these locusts enter the customs!"

He waved his arm, and immediately someone responded, shouting, "Not bad, not bad." Now that even the thief is dead, what is the left Li Guoxiao'er?"

"That is, just looking at the intrusion army everywhere, I don't know how to establish an official system and treat scholars well. I know that these thieves can't become a big climate! It's just a rogue......

"These thieves have raided almost all the rich families in the Central Plains, and if they let the thieves return to Guanzhong. We're all going to end up like those people in the Central Plains......"

Originally, they all wanted to get these things. It's just that there aren't enough people to preside over it.

The only one with enough weight is Sun Chuanting, but in order to support his soldiers, Sun Someone has done something in Tuntian, scraping the ground too hard, and has already offended these wealthy families in Guanzhong.

Now, the Ghost Emperor is taking the lead. These rich people, who were originally scattered, were all excited.

What happened to those rich families in Kaifeng, Luoyang, Xiangyang and other places, they didn't hear about it.

These intruders do not engage in production, and do not restore local order, establish systems, collect taxes, and form a perfect management system.

Just relying on robbing the wealth and food of the wealthy to support their soldiers and horses, no matter how you look at it, it is all a rogue style, and there is no appearance of a big thing!

To put it mildly, if Li Chuang had the slightest bit of Zhu Yuanzhang's atmosphere back then, these wealthy families would have rushed to join the army.

Maybe they don't have to do it themselves at all, they can all find a way to tie up Sun Chuanting and send it to the army.

In short, now under a huge crisis. There was also a ghost emperor who spoke, and these wealthy families immediately changed their style.

When Sun Chuanting was in charge of Guanzhong, he tried every means to borrow some money and food from these guys, and these guys were all good and hard to give up.

But I didn't expect that this time, one by one, they had money to contribute and make a strong contribution, but they were very enthusiastic.

In the final analysis, these guys are local tyrants. But he also has a vision.

The future of the Ming Dynasty is unknown, it is not as good as one day, and these guys are naturally not very obedient.

But the Ghost Emperor Dazun is so effective, and it is about themselves. How could they not know what to do?

Chen Shouye shouted: "Rest assured, my Chen family horse team will definitely send this first batch of grain and grass materials to Tongguan as soon as possible." I must let Inspector Sun stop the evil dragon......"

Everyone applauded, but they didn't put all their hopes on Sun Chuanting. It has already begun to be continuous, and how many people each has to contribute, it is necessary to establish a regiment to train and arm.

There is no shortage of horses in Shaanxi, and there is no shortage of grain in the hands of these wealthy families. If you are really willing to spend your blood, at most, as long as you work a lot, you can pull up a township regiment of 10,000 people, and even cavalry can make up one or two thousand.
