Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1676
Qian sangbao certainly won’t agree. Although it was said that these royal guards did not obey their nephew’s management, he was very angry. But if he wants to kill them all, he won’t do such a thing. Therefore, the person who should have pleaded guilty has become a comforter, “Oh, father Mou, eliminate fire, eliminate fire. You can’t do things like this. What’s the system of fighting and killing all the time?”
“Yes. Our family is excited. But I really don’t know about this. The empress has been ill for a while. Our family has been waiting on us and hasn’t been to the royal guards Yamen. If you don’t believe it, commander Qian, think about it. Have you seen our family these days?” Mou Mu knew that the initiative had been caught, so he stopped in time, Then he asked Qian Liang.
This question, Qian liang thought carefully, it’s really like that. Then he replied: “yes, I haven’t seen father-in-law Qian in the royal guards these days.”
“That’s right. It’s all a misunderstanding. But it doesn’t matter. We’ll go to the royal guards later to gather all the little rabbits and give them a good lecture, and let commander Qian give them a lecture. What do you think, Duke Qian?” Mou Mu seemed to say in a low voice.
What can Qian sengbao say when people’s attitude is so correct. He had to nod his head and said, “it’s a misunderstanding, that is, our family wronged grandpa Mou. Then do as you say.”
“Thanks for Qian Gong’s understanding.” Mou Mu’s body straightened up for a moment, and the atmosphere at the scene eased a lot at this moment. There were smiles on their faces.
The atmosphere eased, and then he didn’t have to be so serious. Mou Mu said, “Lord Qian, commander Qian, it’s not difficult to clean up these royal guards. It’s just from two aspects. First, give them money. Of course everyone is willing to follow you.”
As he spoke, Mu Mu was still observing the reactions of Qian sengbao and Qian Liang. As he thought, they both looked serious. Obviously, for such an Iron Rooster like them, it’s more difficult for others to give them money. It’s worse than killing them to let them take out the money and give it to the people below.
Mu Mu then said, “if you don’t give money, you have to take the second way, that is to show enough ability to frighten them. It happens that there is something the emperor has told you now, that is, talking about food with Yang Department. If you do this well, this great skill will be enough to frighten others, and you don’t worry that those royal guards will not listen.”
Listening to Mu Mu’s words, Qian Liang originally wanted to say that his ability was mediocre. It was too difficult to prove his ability to others. But before he could say it, he heard the problem of food and couldn’t help opening his ears.
Qian sengbao’s face became serious for a while. His intuition told him that he could do this food thing. After all, it belongs to the purchasing group. However, any Eunuch in the palace or official in the court will not know that when it comes to purchasing, it is a good thing to make money.
“Grandpa Mou, let’s hear what’s going on.” monk Qian Baoxin was kind when he asked about Mou mu.
Mu Mu, who had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, said the task ordered by the emperor in detail. It turned out that since Yang Yang was assassinated in Kyoto and the imperial edict in Cao Jixiang’s hands, although Yang did not declare war on Nanming, it has been preparing. It is said that there are many official ships going from chixian city to Leizhou Prefecture every day, carrying all kinds of luggage and goods before the war. Of course, Nanming was not idle here. The Ministry of war began to dispatch troops and the Ministry of household began to prepare money and food.
Here comes the problem. In recent years, a large number of Yang’s grain has poured into the land of Nanming, and the price is very cheap and fair, which has heavily suppressed the local grain industry, so that the more land farmers plant, the more compensation they will pay. A lot of land began to fall into wasteland, and Nanming had no ability to produce its own food. Now it’s time to fight with the Yang family. Of course, the Yang family doesn’t want to sell food to Nanming. Although in the past two years, Nanming officials have seen the problem, increased the purchase of food, and accumulated some. After all, if they can’t get out, they won’t last long. This is a very dangerous thing for Nanming who is about to start a war.
When the emperor saw the crisis, he handed it over to the royal guards and asked them to talk to Yang officials about food purchase. After all, the two sides have not declared war, have they? And the previous negotiations also said that Nanming could continue to buy grain, but the price increased by 30%.
Only a 30% increase in the price is acceptable in Nanming. What they fear is that Yang doesn’t sell grain. That’s the worst.
“We also sent someone to talk with the officials from Yang family about this matter. The other party also revealed a certain tone. It’s not that they don’t sell grain. After all, Yang family claims to take Han people to the peak of the world. The land of Nanming is full of Han people. They can’t watch the people starve to death. But they still have to raise the price, which makes the emperor a little unacceptable The responsibility of the royal guards is to buy more grain at a price of 30% for war use. “Mou Mu talked a lot at once, then closed his mouth and went to see the performance of uncle and nephew Qian Seng Bao.
It has been said clearly. Qian sengbao is also thinking in his heart. In this way, it is indeed a good job. Once he can buy a lot of food, the emperor will be happy, and the credit will be equal to getting it. But the problem is that the price of grain is not easy to say, so he asked the key question, “Grandpa Mou, does the emperor mean that the price is possible to rise or fall?”
“The emperor certainly wants the lower the better. Now, the grain is in the hands of others. Of course, it has the final say. If it is to go up, it can only be accepted.” Mu Mu has a share of his hands and his face is still with some frustration.
This is the floating space, so this job can not be completed, and there will be a lot of profits if it is not done well in the middle. Qian sengbao’s eyes lit up. He was determined to take over the job for his nephew. When he looked at Mu Mu, he didn’t blame him at all. Not only that, he was also full of appreciation.
It seems that I really blamed others before. If Mu Mu really doesn’t want Qian Liang to be the commander, how can he say such an important task? At the thought of wronging someone else, Qian sengbao’s face flashed a sense of guilt, and then said, “Grandpa Mou, it was a misunderstanding just now. Our family wronged you. In this way, Qian Liang will go on and ask you to hand over the relevant things later. Do you think so?”
“This… Everything will be done according to Qian Gong.” Mou Mu pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then agreed. As for whether the other party will make contributions, ha ha, sorry, this was originally a trap. Qian Liang was willing to drill in, but no wonder others.
Mu Mu was politely sent away. Qian sengbao and his nephew Qian Liang had a plot. Because the trouble was big, Qian sengbao also called his eunuch song De to help Qian Liang, and then told him that things must be done well so that he could show his face in front of the emperor.
After Qian Liang got a good job, he was naturally excited. Soon he took song de out of the palace and went straight to the office of the Zhongyang department in Kyoto.
In the office, Wang Tongsheng, a 24-year-old young official, had already been here waiting for Qian Liang to visit.
Wang Tongsheng is a student of the sixth session of Yang Department College in chixian city. When he graduated, he became Yang Chendong’s magic eye with the first place in various achievements. First, he was sent to the city master’s house. He started as an officer from childhood. His working ability was once recognized by the City Master Yu Qian. Later, after Yang Chendong’s training, he was sent to Nanming this time to cooperate with Mou Mu to seize power.
The students of Yangjia college have their own abilities, but what is more important is their loyalty to the leader Yang Chendong. In the eyes of these students, without Yang Chendong, there would be nothing they have now. In addition, in ancient times, students respected teachers and respected morality. Once anyone dared to violate it, it would be unacceptable by this society. Such students are naturally trustworthy.
Wang Tongsheng was the one who was trusted. When he came, Yang Chendong specifically asked him to give orders. He was very clear about his work task this time. So when Qian Liang, the commander of Nanming royal guards, came to visit, he smiled and the fish took the bait.
Not only Qian Liang, but also many well-informed people in Nanming know the strength of the Yang family. Unconsciously, they gave birth to a dwarf thought. Therefore, as soon as they entered the office, Qian Liang put away his pride and became cautious, even laughing at everyone.
If people like Qian Liang were born during the war of resistance against Japan, they would be traitors to the letter.
When he was taken to a room, Qian Liang saw Wang Tongsheng, but different from what he imagined, the Wang Tongsheng asked greedily, “commander Qian, you must be rich in such an important position. Is there any meeting ceremony for the first time?”
Qian Liang has never experienced such a thing. He wants money as soon as he meets. Even in his eyes, the most rampant and bottomless eunuch group did not seem to be so explicit when they did things. For a moment, he was stunned there.
Qian Liang didn’t respond. Wang Tongsheng was very angry. He waved his hand and said, “even if you’re not ready for the meeting ceremony, go back. I’m tired today. We’ll talk about the food problem another day.”
