Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 46: Even if a house is raided, it can be rolled up?
  Li Shanchang ignored Yan Wuliang and continued to ask people to copy and inspect seriously.

Yan Wuliang himself also regretted very much. He regretted that he should not have ordered his slave Jin Yigui to rob rice shops when the rebels entered the city.

But he had to admit that he did not expect that this rebel army would be different from other rebels. After entering the city, instead of looting, they tried their best to maintain order, which allowed his minions to be caught.

Yan Wuliang also saw Jin Yigui being escorted at this time, and couldn't help but ask Jin Yigui: "Who was the leader of the rebel army that invaded the city at that time?"

"I only heard that it was Zhang Jianjun."

"It was sent by a steward named Mr. Zhu."

Jin Yigui replied.

After hearing this, Yan Wuliang stood up with disheveled hair and looked at the vast darkness: "What kind of god reincarnated into the world and caused my Yan family to be robbed first!"

talking.

Yan Wuliang walked towards Li Shanchang, knelt down and kowtowed: "Mr. Li, can you let me see your Mr. Zhu and Zhang Jianjun? I'm an old man begging you!"

"Call me official!"

"I am a fellow intellectual of this state!"

Li Shanchang emphasized.

"Yes, Li Tongzhi!"

Cheng Yanglu also knelt in front of Feng Guoyong at this time and shouted: "Master, can you give me a way to survive and let me see you above!"

Feng Guoyong chuckled: "It depends on whether you cooperate or not!"

……

"They are quite cooperative!"

"According to the school inspection report, Li Shanchang and Feng Guoyong were very active and quickly found the place where these evil gentry and profiteers hid their property. Not even a single human life was found."

"A lot of property has been copied, and if you don't copy it, you wouldn't know it. Once you copy it, you will find that these guys are really damn rich. The official silver and copper coins from the Zhao and Song Dynasties were stored in several large boxes!"

On the night when Li Shanchang and Feng Guoyong ransacked their homes, Xu Da came to Zhu Yuanzhang, told Zhu Yuanzhang about the home confiscation, and handed Zhu Yuanzhang a list of names.

"Ascend!"

"This is the inspection list."

Xu Da said something.

When Xu Da arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting by the well drawing water himself. After drawing a bucket of water, he poured the water into a wooden basin with a hoe.

This hoe was a new hoe that Zhu Yuanzhang had someone buy during the day.

Because Xu Da said this, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the barrel when he poured the water until it reached the wooden handle of the new hoe.
  He took the list and picked up the cattail leaf fan beside him, fanning it while reading it.

After Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it carefully for a while, he went into the room and burned the list on the candlelight. He also ordered: "Except for me, these lists cannot be told to anyone, including Tang and them who grew up together, including you and me. family."

Xu Da nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yuanzhang then walked to the wellhead, turned the new hoe soaked in the water, and smiled at Xu Da and said: "Tell us, how did Shanchang and Guoyong copy it?"

Xu Da informed Zhu Yuanzhang what he heard from the school inspector.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually became serious, and then ordered: "Record everything, and let the inspectors learn how to raid homes in the future."

"Mr. Zhang's idea of ​​letting Shanchang and Guoyong run the house search was really the right idea!"

"As he said himself, all Confucian scholars in the world are not from the same group, including Mr. Zhang himself. He simply does whatever it takes to make Confucian scholars feel uncomfortable!"

Zhu Yuanzhang then laughed and said a few more words.

Xu Da nodded and smiled: "This Mr. Zhang is very different."

"The important thing is that this is different!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took another sip of water, and after saying that, he put the wooden ladle on the other side, picked up the cattail leaf fan, and drove away the night mosquitoes. He looked at Xu Da and said, "So, even if he is ten times more arrogant, we still have to do it." Be patient, similarly, you have to persuade your brothers to be patient!”

Xu Da nodded and said "Yeah".

……

Zhang Cheng has already moved into the original Yuan Ting Zhizhou Yamen.

Zhu Yuanzhang also assigned him a team of personal soldiers to serve as his guards and soldiers. The so-called soldiers were to run errands for Zhang Cheng, deliver orders or purchase items.

The captain is a soldier named Qi Xiang.

At this time, Zhang Cheng was taking Zhu Wenzheng and Qi Xiang to count the confiscated accounts and items sent back by Li Shanchang and Feng Guoyong for review before putting them into storage.

After all, Zhang Cheng is the magistrate of the state, and he wants to personally handle the matter of review.

It's just that there are no new literati who have come to seek refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang. Therefore, Zhang Cheng has no literati who are good at literature and numeracy to help him review, so he brings Zhu Wenzheng to help him review in the name of experience.

Because Zhu Wenzheng has now learned some basic arithmetic and writing from Zhang Cheng, it is no problem to do basic review work.

Qi Xiang was responsible for supervising the temporarily recruited Minzhuang and moving the reviewed goods into the warehouse.

Zhu Wenzheng and Qi Xiang were both shocked when they saw a large amount of stolen property appearing in Zhizhou Yamen. "gentlemen!"

"Why do these Tatar nobles and their minions have so much wealth?"

"I've never seen so much wealth?"

Therefore, Zhu Wenzheng still asked about Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng said: "I haven't seen it either! But no matter what, this also proves that it is better to be a bandit who plunders the people than to be a powerful bureaucrat who exploits the people. So, Wen Zheng, you have to remember Remember, the purpose of strengthening military discipline is to gain the most wealth in the world in the future, and we are not really deliberately trying to embarrass our brothers."

Although Zhu Wenzheng's military ability in history was not inferior to that of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others, his military discipline was indeed not very good. He was repeatedly accused of allowing generals to rape their wives and daughters, and even robbed the people, and was often warned by Zhu Yuanzhang for this.

Zhang Cheng said this now, hoping that Zhu Wenzheng, who had not yet started leading troops to fight, would have this awareness first.

"Students remember, sir."

Zhu Wenzheng nodded and replied, "But sir, the student thinks that this also shows that looting the homes of these Tatar nobles and evil gentry and corrupt officials will gain more than robbing the people. Robbing the people, even if they really kill the whole family, I'm afraid it's just a chicken, duck and a few buckets of rice, nothing like looting the homes of these Tatar nobles, evil gentry and corrupt officials."

"Yes!"

"The main reason for the chaos in the world is the uneven distribution of wealth in the world. No matter how much food is produced per acre or how much land there is, it cannot stop people's greed from getting bigger."

Zhang Cheng smiled and replied.

By copying the properties of Tatar nobles and corrupt officials and evil gentry, Zhu Wenzheng knew that robbing officials was more profitable than robbing people, which was also a good thing for Zhang Cheng. This might also make Zhu Wenzheng more willing to attack corrupt officials and evil gentry in the future.

Zhu Wenzheng became thoughtful after listening to Zhang Cheng's words.

And this time.

Carloads of copied goods are still being delivered in a steady stream.

Li Shanchang and Feng Guoyong are still copying the house seriously here.

"Smash the wall!"

“Many times, the walls will also be covered with gold and silver bricks.”

such as.

At this time, Li Shanchang was yawning in the middle of the night after the house ransacking was going on, and continued to let the rebels who ransacked the house try a few more places.

The corrupt official and evil gentry who was detained couldn't help but raise his head when he saw this, and said angrily: "Li Shanchang, how many benefits have they given you, and you have to work so hard!"

Li Shanchang ignored it and called his brother Li Cunyi and said, "Send someone to Feng Guoyong's place to see if the copying has ended?"

Feng Guoyong was still searching his house seriously here. He even took it upon himself to move some stone benches around. Then he pointed at a lock and shouted: "There is a cellar here! Come and dig it!"

The head of the family fainted on the spot when he saw this.

When Feng Guoyong saw this, he just smiled coldly, and Feng Sheng called over: "Go and see how Li Shanchang's copying is going. Is the copying over?"

"Yes!"

Feng Sheng agreed and went out first.

……

Soon.

"Brother, they are still copying."

Li Shanchang soon learned about Feng Guoyong's situation from his brother Li Cunyi.

After hearing this, Li Shanchang said: "Feng Guoyong, are you going to dig deep to raid these corrupt officials and evil gentry?"

Li Cunyi asked: "Then what should we do?"

"Since Feng Guoyong dug three feet into the ground to copy it, then we will dig out five feet into the ground to copy it!"

Li Shanchang darkened his face, replied, and said to Li Cunyi: "Let some of the disciples go to bed first, just like the rebel brothers, they will take turns. The children of our Li family cannot be compared with the children of their Feng family, not to mention the children of the Feng family." , I still know that Feng Guoyong is just passing the sentence! In addition, you go to see Tang He and Tang Shengzong and hint that they should be punished. "

"Yes!"

Here.

Not long after, Feng Guoyong learned from his brother Feng Sheng that Li Shanchang was still copying, and he was furious: "This Li Shanchang is really a cruel official! How ruthless is this copying?"

talking.

Feng Guoyong came to Hua Yun and said, "Brother Hua Yun, you are a fellow villager of the superior, and you grew up with the superior. You cannot be compared with Tang He and Tang Shengzong who ransacked their homes with Li Shanchang and others."

"What do you mean?"

Hua Yun couldn't help but ask.

Feng Guoyong said: "I heard that Li Shanchang and the others are still copying it so late, so we might as well punish them!"

Hua Yun thought for a moment, then nodded sharply.
