Starting in Saarhu, it is a bit difficult to make a comeback.

Chapter 76 The profiteer Kong Youde (please read the new chapter)
Although it was the first time a new official took office, Li Xianzhong's fire was really too big.

It immediately confused all the civil and military personnel in Kaiyuan.

The atmosphere at the reception banquet that followed was rather awkward, with only Zhang Wenbing, the magistrate of Kaiyuan, greeting Li Xianzhong warmly.

After all, it was the business of the generals of each battalion to verify the personnel on staff, and it had nothing to do with him, the governor of the state.

Li Xianzhong also saw that these people were absent-minded. After all, three days was not a long time.

So he left on the pretext of going around Kaiyuan.

After Li Xianzhong left, the few people who had been silent just now began to become active.

Guerrilla Yu Shouzhi complained: "Which town in the border army does not have empty pay? Even if the Li family themselves have to pay, Li Xianzhong will check the empty pay when he comes up. Is this not giving everyone a way to live?"

Yu Shouzhi's words were immediately echoed by several other people.

Although Zhang Wenbing's rank among these people is not high, he is just a fifth-rank Kaiyuan magistrate, but he is a civil servant after all, and with connections in the capital, he is actually the backbone of these people.

Zhang Wenbing said: "Actually, I think it is normal for Mr. Li to check wages. He has made it very clear that he will not wipe Mr. Ma's ass."

"So you have to wipe the shit off your butts yourself!"

"Don't forget, this time it's not just Kaiyuan Commander-in-Chief who has been replaced. Everyone from the Liaodong Manager to the Liaodong Governor and even the Liaodong Supervisor has been replaced."

After being reminded by Zhang Wenbing, they realized that almost all the top leaders in Liaodong had been replaced.

These new officials will definitely investigate the old accounts of their predecessors as soon as they take office. Of course, Li Xianzhong is not willing to take the blame for them.

Guard He Maoguan asked: "So it doesn't mean that Li Xianzhong intends to punish us?"

As soon as he said this, several people around him felt that this guy was a bit mentally retarded. No wonder he was just a guard and couldn't be promoted.

Li Xianzhong's intention to beat everyone was so obvious, but he actually knew about it.

Zhang Wenbing said helplessly: "Everyone is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade. The Kaiyuan Road where you are located is the most prosperous place in Liaodong. There are many people who want to replace you. Li Xianzhong is definitely not pretending. If he can't be called after 3 days If he is satisfied, he will definitely get someone to operate on him.”

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Li Xianzhong, the Commander-in-Chief of Kaiyuan and the Right Commander-in-Chief of the Central Military Command, was personally appointed by His Majesty after summoning him. He is far more powerful than Commander-in-Chief Ma."

"I heard that when he was in Beijing, he made a lot of friends, not to mention the Li family of Liaodong behind him."

For Zhang Wenbing's words, he was completely benevolent to these people. Those who couldn't see the situation clearly were hopeless.

He can't control this group of people now, because someone came to report just now, and Li Xianzhong went to the granary and arsenal in Kaiyuan.

Obviously Li Xianzhong went to check the supplies in the arsenal and granary.

Zhang Wenbing said: "Excuse me, everyone. I'm afraid General Li is going to take stock of the arsenal and granary. I'm going to keep an eye on it. I can't let these morons under my command trick me."

After Zhang Wenbing left, everyone dispersed. It seemed that Li Xianzhong really came with bad intentions, and they had to go back to resolve the issue of free wages.

Although several of the generals and guerrilla men were left without pay, the others were not particularly serious, only [-] to [-]% less.

Only Yu Shouzhi, a guerrilla in Xin'an Pass, took advantage of being the nephew of Ma Lin's favorite concubine and earned up to 6% of his salary.

With a salary of 1500 people, he actually has only 600 people under his command.

Xin'an Pass, also known as "Xiguan", is mainly for Mongolians.Nowadays, the main enemy of Liaodong Ming Dynasty is Jianzhou Jurchen, so the pressure here is not too great.

In addition, Ma Fang and Ma Lin and his son had been at the border for many years, and had a pretty good relationship with the Khalkha Mongolian Flower Club. Although the Flower Club harassed the Ming Dynasty from time to time, they rarely came to Kaiyuan to cause trouble for Ma Lin.

Therefore, Yu Shouzhi lived a very happy life, guarding the Xin'an Pass Horse Market and eating a lot of free money, which could be said to be a huge amount of money.

Li Xianzhong seemed to have given them two choices: either to fill up the staff or to squeeze out the staff who were eating empty wages.

But Yu Shouzhi understood that in fact, the only way for him was to make up for others.Because if he reduces the number of people who are on free wages, Li Xianzhong will take the opportunity to put people in. It is impossible for him to let Li Xianzhong's people fill in a place like Xin'anguan.

But for a while, he couldn't find so many young people to fill the vacancy.

It's not difficult for Hua Yinzi to hire some people to deal with it, but where can he get so many military uniforms?

I only blame myself for being obsessed with it before. Currently, I only have 200 sets of extra military uniforms in my camp at most.

Kaiyuan's arsenal has been targeted, and Zhang Wenbing must not be able to count on it.

And every battalion is filling up its vacancies, and it is impossible for other generals to have extra uniforms for him.

The nearby Shenyang Tieling is the territory of the Li family, and it is too late to get military uniforms from Liaoyang and Guangning.

It was obvious that Li Xianzhong was pushing himself to death. He definitely wanted to operate on himself, a relative of Ma Lin, in order to scare the Kaiyuan generals.

In fact, he has made a lot of money in recent years relying on Marin's relationship. Now that his backer is gone, handing over military power and retreating is a good choice.

But after all, it was too easy to make money in this position, so how could he give up?
At this time, Mr. Liu, who was under Yu Shouzhi, said: "I heard that a big businessman named Liang San has recently emerged from Liaodong, and he has a good eye for everything. He can get all kinds of equipment and supplies. Since the army can't find military uniforms, why not find this Liang San?" Think of a way?"

Master Liu's words suddenly made Yu Shouzhi's eyes light up.

Soon after, Master Liu brought a young man wearing a brocade robe to Xin'anguan.

Yu Shouzhi looked at this dark and thin young man. Although he was wearing a brocade robe, he really didn't look like a businessman.

But he still said: "Are you Liang San, a big businessman who has been active in the border recently?"

The young man said: "Liang San is my uncle. My name is Kong Youde. If you have any needs for guerrillas, just ask and I will try my best to satisfy you!"

Although this man seemed quite unreliable, now he only had a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and said: "Can you get the uniforms of the Ming army?"

Kong Youde was not surprised, but asked calmly: "I wonder if Yu Guerba wants iron armor, green armor, or an ordinary mandarin duck war coat?"

Now it was Yu Shouzhi's turn to be surprised. He said, "Can these people do it?"

Kong Youde smiled and said: "As long as the price is right, you can always get it. Aren't we just going to eat this bowl of rice?"

Yu Shouzhi said happily: "Okay, I need 700 pieces of mandarin duck jackets. They must be delivered within 2 days. The price is easy to negotiate."

Kong Youde frowned and said, "We need such a large amount and we need it so urgently. Please forgive me for not being able to help."

Yu Shouzhi said: "Didn't you say there's no problem? If you don't need an urgent general, you can get it yourself, so why bother looking for you businessmen?"

Kong Youde hesitated and said: "It's impossible to get it in the Ming Dynasty in such a short period of time, but it's possible in Jianlu. However, this matter is too risky. For 30 taels of silver a piece, as long as you can afford it, Price, I, Kong Youde, will risk my life to help you get it!"

Yu Shouzhi thought to himself that Kong Youde was crazy about money. He could buy iron armor for 30 taels, and he still had enough money to buy ten mandarin duck jackets.

So he said: "15 taels of silver is the most!"

Kong Youde had already figured out Yu Shouzhi and was not moved at all. In the end, he negotiated hard to give up 1000 taels, and the two parties settled the deal at 2 taels.

Then Kong Youde went even further and asked for half of the deposit to be paid in advance.

Yu Shouzhi had no choice but to agree.
