The imperial court knows that it is impossible to make the people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces unstable by blockade alone. At the same time, a large number of secret orders also entered the hands of all the officials, gentry and landlords in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces
They are spreading rumors in Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces to drive up food and salt prices, giving ordinary people a feeling that the tiger and leopard army is about to fail, so as to shake the hearts and minds of the people in Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces step by step.
The imperial court of Shaanxi Governor’s Office further strengthened the blockade of Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces. As soon as the imperial edict reached the hidden capital, the intelligence personnel of Tiger and Leopard Army rushed to send the news to Shaanxi Governor’s Office and sent it to Weizheng.
After reading the information, Kelly Y Zhou first said, "The guard now seems to have known that he was afraid after the fiasco in Laizhou Bay … Strictly ordered the surrounding armies of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces to strengthen the blockade of our Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. Without the court’s order, it is forbidden to attack us without authorization, that is, they are afraid of our performance …"
"Officer, it seems that the imperial court will reach this imperial edict. They are worried that they have worked so hard to form an army. We will attack again and lose tens of thousands of people for no reason …"
Weizheng nodded his head and agreed that "the strategist said that he didn’t look down on all the troops in the imperial court except the border army."
"So when we broke up with the imperial court, Shuai said that it was not the imperial army’s attack that worried me most, but the imperial court’s blockade of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces …"
Say that finish WeiZheng directly to the front Kelly Y Zhou asked "strategist from our break with the court, the court blockade for us also has almost ten days … these ten days in shanshan provinces have any changes …"
"Handsome don’t believe that more than ten million people and thousands of civil and military officials in Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces support Handsome and want to go all the way with Handsome to Black and continue to fight against the court …"
Speaking of business, Kelly Y Zhou’s face became serious.
Wei Zheng stared as calmly as possible and replied, "The guard is preparing to report these things to you …"
"Scattered intelligence agents in the two provinces have reported a situation to the officials. Many officials and gentry in the two provinces have held secret parties, and some local officials are responding to the court’s call for secret training of the army. When the time comes, they will attack us with the imperial loyalist and attack us …"
"How many such people …" Wei Zheng eyebrows a wrinkly heavy asks …
Kelly Y Zhou did not answer the horse, but was lost in thought.
After taking a deep breath, he replied to Wei Zheng, "Ordinary officials, gentry and businessmen have not been counted because of too many people, but officials have been counted clearly because they involve our rule and political officials in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces …"
"After statistics, these officials are all some who don’t have much ability and are not valued by the Governor’s Office. There is no possibility of promotion. These people include two magistrates and a county magistrate … In addition, there are many former court officials who are no longer officials …"
"Perhaps the imperial court gave them what usury. These officials, who usually look very pedantic, dare to privately recruit dinking to cover and train soldiers to do something bad for our butch army …"
"According to the preliminary statistics, there are four or five hundred soldiers on a large scale, and there are more than one hundred people on a small scale. Together, there are more than three thousand people …"
"In addition, these officials are scattered around Jinan, and officials suspect that these private activities are organized by Wu Baotian, a Shanxi patrol …"
When I heard that, a murderous look quickly emanated from the Wei Zheng body.
Before sitting, Kelly Y Zhou seemed to realize something and asked tentatively, "Do you want to treat them, Marshal?"
Speaking of which, Kelly Y Zhou made a wipe neck move directly to Weizheng.
Wei Zheng shook his head and replied, "Not yet … These people are immortal even if they have offended Shuai, but Shuai seems that this move of the court not only did not cause trouble to Shuai, but also helped Shuai a lot and gave him a chance to eliminate dissidents."
Chapter four hundred and seven Blood return
See Kelly Y Zhou slightly puzzled expression Wei Zheng continued to analyze.
"I think before we turned against the imperial court, even though we knew that these officials and landlords were interested in the imperial court and asked them not to commit crimes, we couldn’t take them. After all, there are so many people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces that it is impossible to kill them one by one according to our old methods."
"Now that we have turned against the court, there is no scruple …"
"The handsome idea is to take this opportunity to drive their department out of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces."
"In this way, Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces will become more United and we don’t need to worry about logistics in the rear when we fight against the court …"
Speaking of which, the murderous look emanating from the Wei Zheng body has slowly dissipated, and a cold smiling face has slowly been covered by seriousness.
Kelly Y Zhou looked at a face of majesty and ordered, "Jun Shi Shuai transferred the Tiger and Leopard Army Guards to you … In half a month, all civil and military officials with infidelity in Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces will be arrested and directly destroyed on the spot if there is resistance."
"Since these civil and military officials miss the court so much, we will give them to the court …"
"Except for their family, they can’t take a silver or two … The Ministry will expel them from Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces to see how they think about the court will arrange them day and night?"
"It’s a guard …" Kelly Y Zhou led the way.
Tiger and Leopard Army Logistics Manager Tiger and Leopard Army temporarily lost the income of glass. Kelly Y Zhou urgently needs a fortune to make up for these losses.
Although the property of dozens of civil and military officials is not much, it is better to have less meat than nothing.
So Kelly Y Zhou is more active than others in this matter.
I can’t wait for the horse to send these civil and military officials out of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces and then rush their property into the treasure house of Tiger and Leopard Army to develop Tiger and Leopard Army and Shaanxi provinces.
Just when Kelly Y Zhou’s face was covered with a thick smile, he suddenly thought of those officials and businessmen in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces who were also up to no good.
For those civil and military officials, the wealth owned by local officials and businessmen can definitely be described as’ countless’. Will it be the same for those businessmen and local officials who have ulterior motives to send these civil and military officials out of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces and collect their wealth in the treasury according to the idea of the general in front of them?
If the same method is adopted, how much revenue will the treasury of the governor’s office in Shanshan increase at one time?
Thought of here, Kelly Y Zhou directly asked Wei Zheng with great expectation, "Where are the local officials, gentry and businessmen?"
"Do you want to expel them from Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces together …"
Weizheng shook his head without thinking. "They are different from those civil and military officials …"
Facing Kelly Y Zhou’s face, Wei Zhengkou quickly flashed a disappointed expression and explained, "For civil and military officials, if they want to train private soldiers, we can buckle their heads and have a bad hat …"
"But those local officials, gentry and businessmen are different …"
"You know, what they do is just having a private party, and there is no crime … What’s more important is that these officials, landlords and businessmen are people with great prestige in the local area. If we just catch them for no reason and drive them out of Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the prestige among the people of Shaanxi Governor’s Office will be greatly reduced …"
When I heard this, Kelly Y Zhou looked unwilling and asked, "Don’t we just look at these people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces and have no choice?"
Wei Zheng shook his head and asked, "It depends on what conspiracy these people are planning?"
After a short meditation, Kelly Y Zhou replied thoughtfully, "There are some grapevine news here … not surprisingly, these people must have premeditated to drive up food and salt prices …"
Hearing this answer, Wei Zheng’s eyes quickly shot out two shirts.
After taking a deep breath, he replied to Kelly Y Zhou, "If it is to drive up food prices and salt prices, then handsome will have a way to make them lose their blood …"
"Your horse called Zhou Lao, the foreign trade department … to deal with these businessmen who want to drive up food prices and salt prices. Zhou Lao is more severe and handsome than us. I believe that if we want to give Zhou Lao enough food, Zhou Lao must have a way to get their blood back …"
Five days later, dozens of large and small grain stores in Datong City seemed to have agreed to increase the grain price from six taels of silver to one tael of silver …
Faced with the dissatisfaction of ordinary people, these grain store owners directly gave a reason for thinking.
Because Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces were blocked by the court, the grain from Jiangnan could not be transported, and there was not much grain left in the grain store, so the grain store had to raise the price to ensure that the grain should be raised.
In addition, everyone can buy food … You can buy up to ten Jin of food at a time.
In the face of this news, the people of Datong city thought of the situation that food prices kept rising and they could not buy food when Datong city was besieged by Houjin Dalai a year ago.
In order not to let the family get hungry and gather around the grain store, the people directly ignore the rising food prices and buy them.
However, this snap-up did not last long, and major grain stores stopped selling grain because they ran out of food.
The next day, although these grain shops were open as usual, the price of grain had risen to an astonishing 12 silvers a load.
Although the people in the big city think that the food price is a bit too high, after yesterday’s looting, although they are full of complaints, they are still desperate to take out silver to snap up the food at a inflated price …
In the next few days, the price of food was almost the same every day, and soon it rose to an astonishing fifteen taels of silver.
At this time, an order to stabilize food prices suddenly came out from the Governor’s Office.
In order to stabilize the grain price, the governor decided to sell grain to the people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces at a price limit of 12 silvers per load …
In the face of the sudden emergence of the killer weapon in the Governor’s Office, those businessmen who bid up food prices did not pay attention.
It seems that all the food from the Governor’s Office will come to the millions of villagers in Yingshan and Shaanxi provinces, and there is no surplus food to sell to ordinary people, even if there is one, it is very rare.
If we want to buy the limited grain department of the governor’s office, there will be no way for the governor’s office to stop food prices from rising.
Chapter four hundred Price war
With this in mind, the grain merchants launched a war against the official grain purchase.
Two thousand, ten thousand, fifty thousand, two hundred thousand …
In just five days, the major grain merchants in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces bought a total of 200,000 tons of grain from the Shaanxi Governor’s Office at a price of 12 taels of silver.
Personally leading this commercial war, Zhou Lao, the foreign trade department, calmly emerged with a sneer after listening to the department report.
He said to himself, "The price of two hundred thousand taels of grain is two million taels of silver per tael, but I know that the silver in the hands of these grain merchants adds up to ten million taels …"
"If you want them to lose blood in this commercial war, you must take out the million taels of silver left in their hands."
"After completing this goal, the guard handed it over to our foreign trade department and decided to find a way to add a fire to those grain merchants …"
