Dragon blood bodyguard of the beauty president

Chapter 3419 Pinch soft persimmons
Zu Shiyuan was in the court and had always been known for his toughness.

The generals are all on his side, and if the people in the south of the Yangtze River have a little rebellious heart, they will soon be suppressed by Zu Shiyuan's troops.

Lou Minzhong, the prime minister of the left, was mild-tempered and the leader of the courtiers.

He and Patriarch Yuan expressed concern, "I'm afraid that if we use force, it will cause the big landlords in the south of the Yangtze River to retaliate, making our lives even more difficult in the future."

Patriarch Yuan said indifferently, "What are we afraid of? We have knives in our hands, but we are afraid that their money will not be paid? If they dare not accept, we will kill them until they submit. We can still live without them."

The generals echoed excitedly, "The right minister is right! We have been oppressed by these wealthy households before. They are in league with the imperial court and bullied us poor people a lot. I have long disliked them. "

"Yeah, it's time to attack them. Their families are all very rich. Killing them can also expand the army. This is a double-win thing, and we agree."

"That's right, each of these rich and powerful families has a kind face and a bad heart. I don't know how many poor people have been bullied. If we kill them, the people in Jiangnan will definitely applaud us."

"..."

Lou Minzhong's brows were tightly frowned as the killing sound broke out everywhere.

Among the civil servants, many people have great ties to wealthy households.

Although they started out against the wealthy households, they soon became the spokespersons of the wealthy households in the court, and they have a great relationship with these big Jiangnan merchants.

If you want to move these big Jiangnan businessmen at this moment, you are moving their interests.

They all looked at Lou Minzhong, and Lou Minzhong looked at Fang La.

Fang La didn't make a statement, and he didn't dare to speak again, lest Fang La suspect that he had a relationship with a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River.

Fang La pondered for a while, and said to his ancestors, "When the two armies are fighting, the food and grass go first. No matter what, the safety of food and grass is the most important thing. In order to stabilize the rear, then please trouble the Prime Minister to come forward. However, you must pay attention to the method. Just let them spit out the supplies, don't push them into a hurry, but cause trouble for us instead."

"The minister takes orders!"

Zu Shiyuan looked at Lou Minzhong proudly. Fang La's words obviously handed over the power of life and death to him.

After the court meeting dispersed, a group of civil servants surrounded Lou Minzhong and shouted anxiously, "Master Zuo, why didn't you persuade Sheng Gong just now? This kind of fighting and killing will inevitably drive all these wealthy businessmen to the side of the thieves. So Since then, no one is willing to cooperate with us!"

"That's right, these wealthy businessmen are all big families in Jiangnan, and their ancestors are extremely powerful. If they are moved, it will shake the foundation of the entire Jiangnan!"

"Master Zuo, why don't you persuade Sheng Gong again?"

……

Lou Minzhong and all the ministers comforted, "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient. The current situation is unclear, and I don't know what the specific situation is. If it is found out that these big households are related to thieves, who of us can afford this relationship?"

A group of people looked at me and I looked at you, and immediately closed their mouths.

Lou Minzhong said, "If that's the case, why don't we let them investigate. These businessmen value profits over righteousness. Now that the northern army is going south, it's hard to guarantee that they don't have other intentions. Through this matter, it would be good to kill their vigor."

"This, this is going to cause big trouble!"

All the civil servants shook their heads and sighed, and dispersed helplessly.

Zu Shiyuan led the generals past Lou Minzhong triumphantly, and as soon as he left the hall, he immediately sent people to investigate the matter.

In just one day, they put the results on the table.

There is definite evidence that the grain and grass of these large merchants were probably transported to Shenao Island in Taihu Lake through waterways.

Now in the entire south of the Yangtze River, only Shenao Island is not under Fang La's control, and is still controlled by Li Jun, the leader of the Cao Gang.

Fang La sent troops to attack several times, but they all returned because Li Jun refused to defend.

At the beginning, the governor of Qiantang Prefecture led 10,000+ people to open up wasteland to grow food on the island. There was no shortage of food and grass on the island, and there was no problem in staying there for a year.

Now that Shen'ao Island is buying grain and grass in a big way, it can't help but make people suspicious.

Although Li Jun did not play the banner of opposing Fang La, nor did he play the banner of submitting to Song Gongming.

But Fang La's small court was still very wary of Li Jun.

They quickly gathered the reports and handed them to Fang La for review.

The patriarch of the Right Prime Minister met Fang La alone and waited for his decision in the study.

Fang La looked at the report, rubbed his head and said in confusion, "What is this Li Jun planning to do by buying so much food and grass at this time? Does he think that by doing so, he can empty our Jiangnan?"

Patriarch Yuan said, "That's blinding their dog's eyes. Jiangnan has already reached an agreement with Lingnan Kyushu to purchase grain and grass. As long as we pay enough money, grain and grass can be continuously transported from Lingnan by sea. This time They jumped out first, thinking that they could disrupt our rear through such insidious means, what a daydream!"

Fang La nodded, and praised him, "Thanks to your proposal, we have reached an agreement with Lingnan Kyushu in advance. Otherwise, we will really be under the control of others!"

Zu Shiyuan asked cautiously, "Then should we take this opportunity to attack these rich and powerful households now? Do they have enough money in their hands, enough for us to buy food and grass in Lingnan?"

Fang La tapped the table with his fingers, and walked away from the patriarch, "These rich and wealthy families have close contacts with many ministers in our court. If they are touched, the interests of many people will be touched!"

Patriarch Shiyuan bowed and shouted, "At the beginning, I was just a poor scholar. Thanks to Sheng Gong, I let me be the head of the hundred officials. The life of the minister belongs to the Sheng Gong, and I am willing to serve the Holy Duke. .Even if the body is smashed to pieces, that's okay."

Fang La got up, stretched out his hand to support him and said, "In times of trouble, Fang is loyal. Right Prime Minister, you have my father to support you, so you can do it boldly. These wealthy businessmen, it's time to kill their vigor. .”

"The minister takes orders!"

Zu Shiyuan kowtowed excitedly, and after leaving the house, he went directly to the public house, summoned people from the Xuncheng Yamen and Qiantang Prefecture Yamen, and immediately arranged his search plan.

Among these wealthy households, he picked a soft persimmon.

The point is that this soft persimmon once humiliated him. Originally, he admired the eldest lady of this family, but at that time he was just a talented scholar, so how could others appreciate him.

He has been jealous and hated in his heart until now, and now he finally got a chance, how could he let this family go.

Nearly a thousand heavenly soldiers, as well as the horse infantry servants of the yamen, led by Zu Shiyuan, broke into the gate of this family in a mighty manner.

This family's surname is Jia, and they are the richest household in Qiantang Prefecture.

Their family is in the silk cloth business. To be honest, other merchants went to Huizhou to attend Song Yuchan's conference, but their family did not go to avoid suspicion.

But no one thought that the other people who went there were fine, and Fang La had his eyes on their family.
