After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 83 What is a sieve!
Don't even say bad things, Zhu Yiyuan treated Yan Zibin really well enough.

That's right, Yan Zibin provided so much valuable information, even if he confessed it as his own father, it wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Master Fang frowned, and suddenly said: "It's a matter, as the saying goes, whoever eats whoever turns towards whoever... I want to remind you that Yan Zibin is a ruthless person! Back then he killed Kong Fan to silence him. , if he has the chance, he will kill him too. You must always be on your guard."

Zhu Yiyuan frowned, and suddenly smiled and said, "Master Fang, let me ask you something, do you know how many famous restaurants there are in Jinan Prefecture?"

Master Fang was stunned, does this matter?
Although he didn't understand, Lao Fang replied honestly: "I used to go to Jinan Prefecture often, and I have eaten at all five famous restaurants. If you want to talk about Shandong cuisine, it is Huixianlou, a time-honored restaurant, this one!" Master Fang held out a thumb.

Zhu Yiyuan smiled slightly, "Indeed, but you may not know that I am the boss of Huixian Tower."

"what?"

Master Fang took off almost on the spot.

Are you kidding, Huixianlou has been in business for at least decades, when did the surname Zhu become?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Zhu Yiyuan's smile didn't fade...he wasn't lying.

It is true that Huixianlou is a big restaurant, but there are great difficulties, especially when the world is in chaos. Among other things, just because Ma Degong sent troops to attack Laiwu, he extorted [-] yuan from Huixianlou's family. kg of dry food.

From top to bottom of Huixian Tower, after several days of busy work, only two thousand catties were produced, and the remaining gap was filled with money. Even so, the owner was arrested and thrown into the prison for a full five days. Almost lost his life.

When he climbed out of prison, he was going to sell Huixian Building and find a peaceful place to hide.

As a result, at this time, a person came, knowing the benefits, and now there are wars everywhere, where is the pure land of peace and happiness?The Qing court extorted endlessly, and there will be better things to come later.

If you want to continue the business, you need to find a helper. This helper can give you money, help you through the crisis, and escort you... As for the exchange conditions, it is just a little bit, just provide a little convenience, so that we can deploy people. Come over here and get some sneak peeks.

No need to ask, it was Pupan who came to talk about it.

Relying on the good popularity he has accumulated through years of doing business, he not only accepted Huixian Tower, but also attracted two other houses.

In other words, three of the five most famous restaurants in Jinan Prefecture are under Zhu Yiyuan's eyeliner.

What's even more outrageous is that Zhu Yiyuan directly arranged for people to go to Jinan Prefecture to do business, build a car dealership, and sell grain.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Yiyuan's people are all over Jinan Prefecture, and he can see clearly from top to bottom.

Although Yan Zibin was Zhu Yiyuan's important source of information, he was almost irreplaceable.

But if he wants to plot against Zhu Yiyuan and bite back, that is also impossible.

Master Fang is dumbfounded, he never expected that Zhu Yiyuan's hand would be so long?
"Is it true that the officials in Jinan Prefecture are all fools, so no one noticed?"

Zhu Yiyuan laughed loudly, "So what if you realize it? Could it be that they still have a grudge against Qian?"

Master Fang shook his body, couldn't help but slapped his forehead hard, making a crackling noise.

Got it, finally got it.

As a person who came out of the yamen, can he not know who those officials are?
The Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty, but only changed some chief officials, and some of them didn't even change the magistrates of counties and prefectures at all.

Zhu Yiyuan occupies several counties in Yimeng, and the local products are rich.

Especially after Zhu Yiyuan started to equalize the land, the farmers in Laiwu and Xintai all had some food in their hands.

However, the price of food in the Qing army was extremely high.

If you are in Laiwu, you can buy a stone of grain with two taels of silver, but in Jinan, even five taels would not be enough... Grain prices were expensive during the war, but now that Zhu Yiyuan is in trouble, the price is even higher.

As we all know, the only thing that can scare businessmen away is losses. As long as it is profitable, no matter how dangerous it is, they will never look back.

The Qing court is not all fools, some people can naturally see the problem, but it is difficult for you to determine whether it is an ordinary businessman who shuttles back and forth, or a businessman who has a heart for Zhu Yiyuan... Or, the Qing court also needs to get something from these people. some important information.

Therefore, after Zhu Yiyuan rebelled and occupied several counties, it was indeed difficult to communicate with the Qing court. Ordinary people were afraid, but those merchants became more active.

After all, when the Ming Dynasty blocked the Qing court, there were Shanxi merchants who traded in the grasslands to sell food and supplies... Now Zhu Yiyuan and the Qing court are intertwined, and the communication is more convenient.

There is no reason to be monolithic.

After Master Fang figured it out, he suddenly felt terrified and shuddered, as if the entire Jinan Prefecture was full of Zhu Yiyuan's people, and everyone in the world knew that Zhu belonged to him.

"Zhu Qian, do you really know everything?"

Zhu Yiyuan smiled, "How can it be! This is just the beginning, and the main focus is only a few people. For example, seven days ago, Qian Qianyi and his concubine Liu Rushi went to eat roasted sea cucumbers with green onions, and they were full of praise. The two of them quarreled, and Liu Rushi asked Qian Qianyi not to persecute scholars and harm the common people, but Qian Qianyi refused to listen... The conflict between the couple is getting bigger and bigger. I'm evaluating whether I should win over Liu Rushi. gone."

"Don't say it, I beg you, don't say it." Master Fang was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, holding his head, trembling all over, it was simply too terrifying, it scared everyone to death.

For such a big governor as Qian Qianyi, Zhu Yiyuan knew exactly what to eat and what to say, what else did he not know?
In the Jinan Mansion, I am afraid that everything has become a sieve.

It can only be said that Zhu Yiyuan is so terrifying.

This matter actually led to another matter. Zhu Yiyuan chose to stay in Shandong, next to Zhili, and lacked major generals. Why should he fight with the Qing court? How many days?

This is the reason why only the military accounts are counted. First of all, Zhu Yiyuan can’t run away. He runs to the Qing army and chases after him. He keeps expelling refugees and destroys the local order.

Secondly, he stayed in Shandong, familiar with the people's conditions, and it was convenient to investigate intelligence.

He is not Xie Qian's kind of rogue.

There are so many tricks in Zhu Yiyuan's belly!
This is just a small test of the chopper, and it scared Master Fang into a fool. This guy's courage is really far from enough.

The news that Yan Zibin sent to Zhu Yiyuan, Zhu Yiyuan will not be easy, just believe it completely, he will cross-check it.

Once he found out that Yan Zibin was dishonest, he might stab him in the back and commit suicide on the toilet... After all, you don't need to be polite to traitors.

A few days later, the first batch of [-] households, secretly communicated with the Qing court, and even recruited people in private, and the big households who wanted to rebel against Zhu Yiyuan were sent here.

These people thought they were doing things secretly, and Zhu Yiyuan didn't know about it at all, but how could they expect that there would be Zhu Yiyuan's people in the Qing Dynasty they pinned their hopes on.

It's not as bad as throwing yourself into a trap!

"Master Zhu, spare your life! Please spare your life!"

"I beg Mr. Zhu to be merciful, and I will not be an example."

Zhu Yiyuan just smiled coldly, do you have some misunderstanding, think that I am a good man and believer who is easy to talk about!Don't forget, back then I also killed hundreds of people in one go.

"Betray the people, plot evil, all leaders, beheaded!"

With Zhu Yiyuan's order, all the heads of the seventeen families fell to the ground.

"Their family members must not be spared either. The land will be taken back, and the floating wealth will also be confiscated. All labor will be sent to the Yishui River to reclaim wasteland and build water conservancy projects."

This time Zhu Yiyuan did not say the deadline, which means that they are very likely to work to death, and this is only the first batch, and there will be more in the future...
