The Best Fake Eunuch

So in the early morning of the next day, a strange thing happened. The officials who had previously claimed that they had no money to kill, actually took the initiative to find Xiao Chen with money to pay back the debt...

Because Xiao Chen released the news, as long as you take the initiative to repay the loan, you will have face and leeway, you can pay 30% or 50% first.

Just don't wait for me to come to the door!

By that time, the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu will not be able to handle it anymore.

When Chen Wenqi went to the emperor to report that in the past few days, the more than 20 million taels of silver owed by the court officials had already recovered 10 million taels with interest, Li Wanjiang, who had always been calm, changed his face.

After listening to Chen Wenqi's description of Xiao Chen's means and process of asking for accounts, he was silent for a long time.

So, Xiao Chen, is he a talented person, a talented person, a genius, a handsome talent, or a slave?

The money was going to come back so much, but Xiao Chen withheld four million!

It is said that considering the shortage of food in our Great Zhou Dynasty, and understanding the difficulties of the emperor and the Ministry of Households, he has sent people to go south with money to Siam, Myanmar to buy this year's new rice...

The rest of the money will be used to purchase military supplies, pay military salaries, and recruit soldiers.

"At that time, I thought he was messing around, so I agreed to his conditions. Who would have thought that this kid would really do it, and made me very passive... Four million taels, Your Majesty! You can't give him all of it!" Chen Wenqi Now the intestines of regret are green.

If I knew today, why bother.

"Wen Qi, do you think Xiao Chen has a one or two chance of winning when he goes to recover Yanyun County?" Li Wanjiang was seriously thinking about another matter.

"Probably not. The Xianbo cavalry are extremely brave and good at fighting, and there are nearly 20,000 people. They almost came out in full force. The defenders in Yanyun County almost collapsed when they fought against them, and there were even thousands of them. The established troops surrendered directly... even if Xiao Chen had 10,000 people, he would still die." Chen Wenqi said.

"However, he once led two ships to defeat the seven warships of Dongpu at sea. This is also a victory with less." Li Wanjiang said.

"Our Great Zhou navy is all elite, plus Liu Haishan, Lin Zirui are all fierce generals brought out by the emperor himself, so they can win, and it has nothing to do with him, Xiao Chen." Chen Wenqi said.

What he said made sense, Li Wanjiang nodded slightly, as if agreeing.

"Then this money?" Chen Wenqi felt distressed.

"Give him the silver. You can't just let the horses run without feeding them grass. Now that he has thousands of people under his command, what kind of firearms battalion has he become? They are stationed too close, if they are caught by him It's not good to instigate a mutiny, and it will appear that our monarchs and ministers have lost their trust." But Li Wanjiang also had some scruples about Xiao Chen.

"Your Majesty, this kid is so good at jumping around, I don't think we should let him go to the northern border, just..." Chen Wen used his hand to draw a knife on his neck.

"It's easy to kill him, but difficult to deal with the aftermath." Li Wanjiang sighed and shook his head slightly.

Without further ado, Xiao Chen received the commander's seal, and prepared to take three thousand people to the northern border to serve the Great Zhou with great fanfare.

Moreover, although what he is doing now is a bit excessive, everything is aboveboard, and you can't find any faults.

If you don't give me a tael of silver, you don't give out a single grain and grass, and they rack their brains to raise money, do you still have the nerve to say something about them?

Besides, the matter of clearing the arrears of the national treasury, he has made another great contribution!

Now that you kill him, who the hell will fight for Da Zhou in the future?

"Now there must be spies sent by Xianbo in Fengyang City. They heard that Da Zhou sent troops to attack, and they will definitely find a way to assassinate the general. There are also many people in Fengyang City who hate him now. Xiao Chen is a hand A scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, and now he doesn't live in the palace very much, wandering around in and out of the city, so..."

Chen Wenqi suggested assassinating him.

In fact, this was a bad idea, but Li Wanjiang was noncommittal when he heard it. He just fell into deep thought, and even Chen Wenqi resigned and left, he didn't seem to notice.

Now that Xiao Chen had money, he immediately started recruiting recruits.

Because few ordinary people in Fengyang City were willing to serve as soldiers, he personally took Lin Yue and Yue Zhonglin who had just arrived, and set up the recruitment office at Haining Bay, a water and land wharf dozens of miles away from the capital.

I heard from Yan Luo and the others that during this period of time, there were many ordinary people who had fled from all over the country, and their hometowns were fighting.

Now the number of people has reached tens of thousands. Although Haining Bay is a big wharf, so many coolies are not needed, so these ordinary people have become refugees. If the big guys don’t have enough to eat, they will make trouble, which makes the local officials extremely headache.

These wounded soldiers were organized and suppressed several times, but with little success.

Because they are all unarmed ordinary people, and the trouble is only because they have no food to eat, can they all be killed?

They can only be repatriated to their original places, but when will tens of thousands of people be repatriated? Besides, they simply escaped, who would go back?

Zou asked the household department to ask for money and grain relief, but the household department directly rejected it, saying that the current situation is difficult and there is no surplus food in the court...

The local officials had no choice but to call on those merchants to provide money and grain to open small porridge farms, but the drop in the bucket was simply unable to feed so many mouths.

As soon as the recruitment office was set up, it was immediately surrounded by a crowd of ragged people asking questions in various accents.

"Is this some kind person who wants to open a porridge shop?"

"It doesn't look like much. I don't see a grain of food."

"What's in the boxes in those carts?"

"Anyway, it's not food!"

"What? Recruitment office? What are you recruiting for, a coolie? Count me in, don't look at my brother's skinny body, he's full of muscles!"

"What the hell is recruiting? So, where are you going to fight? What? Yanyun County? Isn't that place occupied by others?"

"If you want me to say that this big week is quite exhausting, why are there wars everywhere? There is no such thing as a safe place to live."

"That's right, it's not as good as the big man in the previous dynasty."

"I see it's all the same, two eggs stir fry, one egg tastes like!"

"Brother, be careful what you say, and be careful not to lose your head."

"My family is all dead, I'm just a bachelor, and now I'm about to starve to death, so I'm afraid of a bird? It's better to cut off my head, die early and reincarnate early!"

The common people don't care about the big Zhou and the big man, whoever is the emperor is like a bird, anyway, the rich are still rich, and the poor are still poor.

As long as you can barely fill your stomach.

But just like what the big brother said just now, they are so fucking starving to death now, why are they afraid of a bird?

Nothing to be afraid of.

The people are not afraid of death, so how can they be afraid of death!

This shows that Li Wanjiang has problems in governing the country and keeping the people safe.

He only wanted to quell the rebellion, but he didn't care about the life and death of the common people. He always thought that when the world was peaceful, the people's hearts would naturally submit.

But I never thought about why those rebellions can't be put down...
