Chapter 1170

Zeng Yunfeng didn't want to be tied down by these wealthy businessmen. These people had been local tycoons for too long, and they controlled too many local supplies.

Although it seems that Zeng Yunfeng holds the land of Jiangnan in his hands, Zeng Yunfeng also knows how much control he has over it.

The powerful families in these places have been weakened by the regime layer by layer, but their influence in the local area is still huge, and they can even affect the taxation and military affairs of a place. Zeng Yunfeng does not want to leave these people until after the founding of the country. Let them fish in troubled waters.

Instead of letting them slowly infiltrate into the military and the political system and officials after the founding of the country, it is better to solve these things by the way before the war.

Now he just wants to force them to make a choice. Maybe everyone can see the crisis on the front line. These wealthy businessmen and households in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the tycoons in the Jianghuai area may all see it.

Zeng Yunfeng usually doesn't move them because of stability, but now is the time when the rebel army is in crisis, he wants to see who will jump out and make money for the country.

These same people will also help Zeng Yunfeng achieve his goal. Wu'an City is a bait, but this bait is far from thick enough.

The Mongols and even the emperor of the Mongolian court would not take the bait easily. Even if they were forced to attack Wu'an City and fought on the north and south sides of the Yellow River, if the court could not see the hope of victory, they would definitely cut their tails to survive.

But if they were given hope, perhaps several fish would be caught.

The so-called one emperor and one courtier, from the prince to the powerful, should undergo a systematic cleansing from top to bottom, no matter which dynasty or generation, this is the case, wanting to simply take advantage of it without paying anything The price is to grab the fruits of victory, Zeng Yunfeng will not let this happen, he either chooses to stand in line, or he chooses to leave.

Zeng Yunfeng can allow them to choose his side because of interests or morality, but he can't allow them to stand on both sides, to be a fool, to communicate secretly on one side, and to hook up on the other side.

Moreover, these local tyrants can live so comfortably under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, most of these people are also vested interests.

These people were killed, Zeng Yunfeng didn't feel bad at all, there are not many other things in this world, except that there are too many people who want to be nobles.

Since they didn't want to be aristocrats, and they didn't want to choose to stand in line, it should be reasonable for Zeng Yunfeng to change a group of people.

Qiantang County.

"Master, master!"

"Uncle Wu, why are you in such a panic? Could it be that the Mongols are fighting back again, or are those Qiu Bayi troops burning, killing and looting again?"

"Didn't it mean that they have already belonged to Ying Wugou's flag! Why are you still so unruly!" The man frowned and put down the book in his hand.

"Oh, no, sir, there is big trouble!"

"What's the big deal? Say it!"

"My lord, the leader of the rebel army is now sending envoys to buy food from rich merchants and households in Jiangnan, asking for it to be converted at the market price."

"Buy food at the market price, hmph!" The man sneered, "Did Ying Wugou think too much? Now that the war is going on, the price of this food is still high, and he actually wants to buy it at the normal market price." Buying food, how is this possible! It's just whimsical!" As he spoke, the man waved his hand.

"But master, those soldiers are vicious, it seems that we must not agree!"

"Hmph! I'd like to see what Ying Wugou can do to us people. He's not afraid that the situation in Jiangnan that was just stable will suddenly become chaotic!"

The man dressed as a scribe waved his hand, then picked up the book on the table, read it with his left hand, and said, "Go and tell them, just say that the master is not here, and let them go wherever they like."

The man said he didn't care about Uncle Wu, the housekeeper, and looked at the book in his hand.

"Yes!" The housekeeper Wu Bo Shili withdrew, sighed, turned his head and left, sighed and shook his head as he walked.

Just walking to the garden where the front yard and the middle yard meet, I met a woman in an elegant plain dress.

"Miss!" Uncle Wu retreated to the side and bowed his hands.

"What's wrong with Uncle Wu, he's in a panic!"

"Miss, alas!" He sighed as he spoke.

"The rebel army asked us to buy food and grass, but the master said he couldn't see it, and told them to go where they should."

The woman frowned, "Not seen?"

"Did the master say it himself?" The woman frowned slightly.

Uncle Wu nodded, "Yes, the master said it himself!"

"Okay, I see, Uncle Wu, you go!"

The woman left Uncle Wu and came to the study, seeing her father reading a book, the woman frowned.

He went up to get a cup of tea for his father and said, "Father, your tea is getting cold. This cup is the new tea of ​​this year. You should try it."

The man glanced at the woman and nodded in satisfaction, took a sip from the teacup, and said, "Well, it tastes good!"

The woman pondered for a while, and finally couldn't help it anymore, and asked, "Father refused to provide food and grass to the rebel army?"

The man frowned, looked at the woman in front of him and said, "Why, Qing'er, do you want to take care of this too?"

"Girls, don't worry about these things. Now that the two sides are fighting each other, if we send food to either side, the final result will not be very good."

"I know the combat power of the Mongols. I have contact with them. If Ying Wugou loses, we send them food and grass. It will be a big crime then!"

"But father, if we do this, we probably won't be able to wait for the Mongols to come."

The man frowned, put down the book, and glanced at his daughter, a little surprised, "Ying Wugou claims to be the most polite, and we won't suffer if we don't wait until the Mongols!"

The woman shook her head and said: "Father, you are so confused, this Ying Wugou is overbearing and ruthless. Normally, he seems to be approachable, and he tries to be fair and just to ordinary people, but not necessarily to rich businessmen. "

"Father, isn't the incident in Kaifeng City enough for Father to be vigilant?"

When Kaifeng City was mentioned, the man suddenly stood up and said, "Where's Uncle Wu? Did you meet him just now?"

"Wu Bo just left!"

"Oh, chase him back quickly." The man ran out in a hurry while the woman shook her head.

Outside the mansion, the soldier frowned, looked at Uncle Wu and said, "Is this your answer?"

Uncle Wu nodded, "I'm sorry, our master is not here and has gone on a trip, so we can't provide food and grass for your army. Please forgive me!"

"Okay, I got it!" The soldier nodded, his face seemed to be covered with frost, but the words did not have the slightest emotion. On the contrary, Uncle Wu saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but be surprised.
