Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1678

“Well, there’s some truth. That’s right. Let’s talk about it. But remember, we must buy more. No one knows how long the war will last. We must make more preparations.” Zhu Qizhen felt that Qian sengbao was right, so he nodded and agreed.

Zhu Qizhen agreed. Qian sengbao’s heart can also be put in his stomach. After leaving the hall of diligent administration, he called Qian Liang and song de and asked them to go to the Yang Department office immediately to settle the situation, so as not to have a long dream or the other party will increase the price. Then he took out a piece of jade that the emperor had given him. Ruyi confessed: “this is the gift for the adult surnamed Wang. We must do things well.”

“Please rest assured, uncle.”

“Please rest assured.”

Qian Liang and song de agreed with a smile from the corners of their eyes. After receiving Yu Ruyi, they quickly prepared to leave the palace.

In the Yang Department office, Qian Liang met Wang Tongsheng again. When the jade Ruyi was taken out, the other party was obviously very satisfied. The next conversation was more smooth. Finally, an agreement was made to buy 10 million stones first.

The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were very low. The seven grade county magistrate of the Ming Dynasty had an annual income of only 90 stones, less than 200 liang of silver, and had to support a large number of people. In order to occupy the whole Nanming market, the grain price of the Yang family was very low. One stone (about 120 kg) was originally sold for two liang silver, but now it is doubled to four Liang. Ten million stones is forty million Liang. Only 30 million Liang were actually delivered to the Yang family. Uncle and nephew of the Qian family earned 5 million liang from it.

After negotiating the agreement, Yang began to transport grain here. Qian Liang said that he would bring silver and make enough preparations to receive grain at the next meeting. The two sides separated happily, but Wang Tongsheng still didn’t forget to say that when he brought the payment next time, he should remember to bring a meeting gift, which directly angered Qian Liang.

Is it not enough that the other party can make 5 million taels after a transaction? I’m really more greedy than myself.

After watching Qian Liang and song de leave in a hurry, Wang Tongsheng said to one of his attendants with a smile: “go and spread the news. It’s done. You can do it.”

“Yes, sir.” the attendant promised and left quickly. Before long, Mou Mu received the news that the contact group could start. At that time, he picked up his hands, looked at a eunuch Zhu Hai and said, “Xiaohaizi, take action as planned.”

“Yes, Grandpa Mou.” Zhu Hai’s heart jumped wildly. As a eunuch trusted by Mou mu, he already knew that his father-in-law had to deal with Qian sengbao. His heart had been hanging high before, because he knew what consequences such a struggle would have if it failed. But in order to gain more power, we have to fight. Fortunately, his master planned carefully. Now seeing that things have become more than half, he can finally rest assured and go to work.

With Zhu Hai has the final say for a long time, a piece of hearsay has been circulating in Kyoto. Officials want to keep themselves, finding money monk Bao is useless.

As soon as the news came out, many officials became nervous. They recommended a large amount of silver to monk Qian not long ago. Now it’s useless. Then they must get the money back and transfer it to Mou mu.

But after all, it’s just gossip and has not been confirmed. We still want to continue to observe and see. Don’t be confused by the news without source.

What happens next doesn’t need them to linger. In the matter of the Ministry of punishment, Lord he Xingqiao suddenly came to the royal guards’ house and took him away directly. He gei was suddenly caught in the incident, which made the people hair their claws.

He Xingqiao, who drank a lot when we were having wine together the other day, also said that he had given monk Qian 50000 liang of silver. But now people are taken away by the royal guards. Doesn’t this prove the authenticity of the gossip?

No one wants to be the next person to be taken away. After unanimous discussion, the officials selected several representatives to go to the palace to see Qian sengbao. Even if your words are no longer effective in the royal guards, we should return the silver we sent. We are transferring it to father-in-law Mou mu. In short, we don’t care how you fight, but don’t infringe on our power.

An official is not terrible. It is terrible that a dozen or dozens of officials come together. This force is a headache for Yingzong Zhuqi town.

Zhuqi town didn’t know about it at this time and was listening to Mou Mu’s secret report.

Even though it was a secret report, of course, no more people would be present. Especially when I heard that the secret report also involved his great companion Qian sengbao, all the eunuchs in the hall of diligent administration were expelled, leaving only two eunuchs, Mu Mu and Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen, the eunuch regarded by Qian sengbao as his confidant, has another identity, a spy under Mou mu.

There is nothing in the world that money can’t solve. If it can’t, it’s just to add money. Zhang Chen is the one who has long been bribed by Mou mu.

When Zhang Chen was just a little eunuch, he entered the palace because his family was poor. Once, he was discovered by Mou mu. That day, he happened to go out to buy silk for the queen. He saw what Zhang Chen’s father said at the gate of the palace. At that time, Zhang Chen was full of tears.

In line with the idea of making good friends, Mou Mu stepped forward and learned that Zhang Chen’s mother was seriously ill and in urgent need of silver. Zhang’s father had no choice, so he thought that the son in the palace was no longer a healthy man.

At that time, Zhang Chen was just the lowest ranking eunuch. He had no power or power, and there was no excess silver. It’s not easy. Some monthly cases have to be deducted by the eunuchs above. There’s not much left. Mu Mu took out a hundred liang of silver at one time. Grateful Zhang Chen would kneel down on the spot.

That is, after that, Zhang Chen became Mou Mu’s man. Just because his rank was too low, and Mu Mu was very low-key at that time, no one noticed it. That is, from that time on, Mu Mu kept giving Zhang Chen money. The other party was also a smart and capable person. Step by step, he stepped out of his head, entered the eyes of monk Qian Bao and became his right hand.

Mu muhui appeared in front of Zhuqi town with Zhang Chen, and the report was naturally about food. When Zhang Chen knelt on the ground and told all the things he heard around Qian sengbao, Zhu Qizhen’s face was as gloomy as water.

He appreciated Qian sengbao very much and felt that the other party’s words and deeds were in line with his own temperament. So he stayed around and regarded it as Wang Zhen’s general existence.

Wang Zhen grew up with Zhu Qi Town, otherwise there would be no big company. In contrast, Qian sengbao came to Zhuqi town later. The reason why he was called Da companion is a kind of commemorative significance, which proves that the emperor has not forgotten Wang Zhen. In fact, the two sides are not at the same level at all.

If Wang Zhen did anything unusual, Zhuqi town is at most a verbal punishment, and then how to reuse it or how to reuse it. It would be very different if Qian sengbao replaced him. He is a person who can be replaced, because he appears as a replacement for Wang Zhen.

When he heard that Qian sengbao, the eunuch he trusted most, reached out to the sale of grain and let Nanming lose 10 million liang of silver at one time, Zhu Qizhen had sentenced the other party to death in his heart.

Zhuqi town can tolerate Qian sengbao to make some small mistakes, such as accepting bribes from some officials, but it is absolutely intolerable on major issues of right and wrong.

“Mou Aiqing, is this true?” Zhu Qizhen kept a little calm in his mind, knowing that he could not listen to one side of the story.

“It’s true. Report it to the emperor. After knowing this, the minister has made an investigation and sent someone to question the Yang official. This is the other party’s testimony.” Mou Mu said and handed over another memorial, which recorded the transcript of Wang Tongsheng.

With the officials of Nanming Dynasty, they naturally can’t treat the officials of Yang Department, but Mou Mu is different. He was originally Yang Chendong’s person. Wang Tongsheng’s task is to cooperate with his work. Of course, he will betray Qian Liang and others this time.

After reaching out and pressing the memorial, Zhu Qi town was angry and said in a harsh voice, “come on, bring me monk Qian.”

As soon as the will was given, a little eunuch came and knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, “emperor, there are many ministers outside. They are all looking for money. Father-in-law said that they didn’t do anything after receiving money. They shouted for a refund.”

“What’s the matter?” Zhu Qizhen was stunned when he heard it, and his eyes naturally fell on Mou Mu standing there with a calm face.

“Tell the emperor that it should be father-in-law Qian who received the Ping An silver from those officials. Emperor, father-in-law Qian also said hello to his ministers before, but the problem is that father-in-law Qian has too many people to protect, many of them are officials with problems. They said very negative words in private, saying that we Nanming will not be the opponent of Yang family. If we have to go to war, it is Take an egg to touch a stone, and others persuade us that Nanming will vote for Yang. It’s absolutely impossible not to catch such people, otherwise there will be a big problem. Father Qian still has to protect them, and the minister is also very difficult, but considering the imperial court and the rivers and mountains of Nanming, the minister still sent someone to catch them… ”

Needless to say, Zhuqi town has found out the truth of the matter. He really didn’t expect that Qian sengbao, who always seemed very loyal, would become like this. He even wanted to influence Nanming’s plans on his own, and attracted so many officials. The most important thing is to let others find the door. It is really a sign of incompetence and greed. Such people don’t have to use it, and they don’t have to leave any face.
