Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 313

After all, the emperor is the emperor.

Such obvious anger still made the courtiers scruples.

After the next dynasty, various small groups began to meet and discuss.

Of course, because of the different attitudes towards the Yun family and the army ration itself, the items discussed were still different.

After such a fuss, until almost dusk, the courier from the granary in the northern suburbs entered Beijing to deliver the news to Cai Xiang's mansion.

Zhao Hao took the emperor's imperial decree and ran to the granary in the northern suburbs last night, mobilized tens of thousands of laborers overnight, and emptied all the 110 million dans of refined grain that had just been brought in from the granary!
The granary in the northern suburbs was close to the river. In the early hours of the morning, many warships arrived at the wharf by the river, and the food transported out of the granary, including people and vehicles, went directly onto the boats.

Now, it's all over the river.

When Cai Xiang got the news, he was so angry that his old blood was blocked in his throat and eyes, and he almost passed out.

In order to show that there is no grain, the harvested grain will naturally be embezzled elsewhere, and the granary in the northern suburbs has also increased a lot of extra grain.

Moreover, because the granary in the northern suburbs is a salary, he even resorted to tricks, and specially asked people to send the best grain to it.

This senior official's annual salary is thousands of dan, where can he eat it all?It is inevitable that he will sell some money outside. The price of refined grains and coarse grains is quite different. When the grain is distributed in December, those officials will have to accept his favor.

But for the sake of looking good, it is still necessary to prepare some military rations for the frontier army, and use the worst kind of rations with scum.

As for whether the frontier army will starve to death, isn't your Zhenguo mansion rich and powerful, so you can use the money to pad it out first. The entire family of the Zhenguo mansion can be used for a winter.

But now, Zhao Hao actually took away all the food!
There is an imperial decree from the emperor, plus he just said in the court that there is no food in the granary, and now he will go to the emperor to take back the imperial decree...

One is to slap himself in the face, and the other is, even if he takes it back, can he still chase it back?
What's more, when Duke Rong brought up the matter of the weather today, Qin Yushi's complexion was completely wrong, and Han Xiang's complexion was also not good-looking.

If they choose to join hands with the Yun family at this time...

No matter how angry he was, Cai Xiang could only swallow the matter.

Even if Tong Guan sent someone to ask if he should send troops to chase him, he could only be answered, no.

At this time, Tong Guan sent troops, maybe Zhao Hao would directly tell Tong Guan to send troops privately, agreeing to conspire against him.

As for the Han family and the Qin family who only got the news at night, naturally they also stayed up all night.

In the morning of the next day, Lord Zhen Guo came to the court, and the court proposed that border issues were tight, and he and Zhao Hao would return to the border town to garrison, and proposed that Duke Rong Guo take over the post of Privy Envoy.

The emperor immediately agreed.

At the same time, based on Chang Baicheng's two consecutive great achievements in the south, Ren Chang Bai became the president of the Imperial Guard.

Not the Commander of the Internal Guard, but the Commander of the Imperial Guard!
Command 20 Janissaries.

His deputy was promoted to the commander of the internal guards.

In this way, although Zhen Guogong and his son withdrew from the capital, the military power in the capital has nothing to do with Cai Xiang.

Xie Jue sat at the desk and listened to Che Ling and Ma Xiao talking, rubbing the Buddhist bead chain (made by Su Yue) with his hands, and smiled lightly.

Chang Baicheng is a man of loyalty. He encountered several dangers in the past half a year in the south. After being rescued by others, he repayed his kindness and included those people from the rivers and lakes into his imperial guards.

He also took advantage of his right to form internal guards and directly appointed several close friends as officials.

Now that he is the president of the Imperial Guard, he must give promotions to those good brothers.

Perhaps, he should thank Cai Bing. If it wasn't for Cai Bing who was impatient and only wanted to drive Zheng Guogong and his son out of the capital, he actually threatened the generals by refusing to provide military rations at all, which made the generals unanimously disappointed. Instead, the generals united together.

He also underestimated Zhao Hao, showing such a clue to the emperor, and the emperor accepted Zhen Guogong's suggestion in anger, let Rong Guogong take over as the privy envoy, and directly removed the former leader of the Imperial Guard. , Let Chang Baicheng take the top position.

In this way, what he thought would take several years to accomplish could start now.

However, judging from the current situation, he has to be steady.

If Cai Bing is pushed into a hurry...

It doesn't matter, the cat catches the mouse, and it's also a slow game.

"Third Master." Looking at Xie Jue's expression, Ma Xiao said, "Some of the idlers at the North Gate Wharf have followed Zhao Hao to transport food, and some are thinking of joining our team, you see?"

When there are too many people, they will gather into gangs.

The coolies at the wharf are organized into gangs, there is the leader of the wharf, the little bosses below, and then the coolies.

The job is picked up by the head of the dock, and then distributed to the coolies below, and the money is settled by the head before being given to the coolies.

The bosses on some piers are passed down from generation to generation, forming their own small gangs.

It is difficult for others to intervene.

The North Gate Canal Wharf was originally managed by a boss who had been passed down for three generations, but that person was very cruel to his subordinates, and he took too much money from the coolies, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the coolies below. Those coolies recommended a person to come out to negotiate with the boss. , but was plotted against by the leader, who happened to be rescued by passing by.

That person was also a ruthless character, and when he returned, he gathered the coolies and went to settle accounts with the boss. In the group fight, he also sent his own people to help.

In the end, the leader was driven out of the pier and replaced by that person, and that person also fell into his hands.

It's just such a commotion, there are still fewer people on this pier than other piers, and the strength is a bit insufficient. Now those idlers want to join, which is a good thing for the pier.

However, now there are no tank boats entering Beijing, and there is no work on the wharf. If you want to take those people in, you must first pay for them to support them.

So many people are not a small number.

"About how many people?" Xie Jue asked.

"There are more than 400 people." Ma Xiao replied immediately.

Adding these people to the people on the pier, there are 900 people. Now there is no work. One person has to pay the usual living expenses every month, plus some small bosses who have more, so a month is [-] Six hundred coins.

Xie Jue sneered, picked up his fan and tapped him on the head, and said, "I asked how many people followed Zhao Hao!"

Ma Xiao let out a cry, and hurriedly said, "About 2000 people. I heard that Zhao Hao said that if they send food to the border town, not only will they get twice the wages, but if they want, they can also directly enter the barracks."

"This Zhao Hao has some skills." Xie Jue smiled, and said with a slight expression: "People naturally have to collect money, and money should be spent. Today, the Lord told you two that from now on, except Yue Yue You can make a living with your son, and the rest of the income from your business, you can freely dispose of it, as long as you do the job well for the master."

Yue'er once said that money can make ghosts turn millstones.

Money can not only make ghosts turn millstones?
Now that the Qiongzhou base has been built, he and Liu Qi have joined forces, and the one-year income from spices alone is beyond what others can imagine.

What's more, there are so many industries.

The income here in the capital can be completely ignored for him, so it is better to let Che Ling and Ma Xiao do it freely.

On the upper floor, he must be steady and not move his hands or feet.

However, for the lowly and lowly people who are looked down upon by those literati and politicians who think highly of themselves, they can increase their expansion.

"Yes!" Che Ling and Ma Xiao bowed at the same time.
