At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

"Fathers and villagers in Qufu, go to Confucius Mansion to collect money and food!" At noon, a famous former army cavalryman shuttled through the city of Qufu and issued Zhang Sheng's order.

Opening a warehouse to store grain is an old tradition in Xiying.

Although in the late Sichuan period, due to the mental disorder of the Eight Kings, the military discipline in Xiying deteriorated greatly.

But with Sun Guozhu coming to power, Xiying has long since regained its former glory.

At this time in Qufu, if you give enough to the king and keep enough for yourself, the rest will naturally be given to the common people!

Outside the gate of Qufu, boxes of gold and silver and bags of grain were piled up.

The military officials began to organize the distribution of food.

"Each person has one tael of silver and three dou of rice!" an official shouted. Under the supervision of the Qianqian Army, the people in Qufu and surrounding areas began to receive money and food in an orderly manner.

"Master Wang, the army of the king is Master Wang!" One by one, the people of Qufu, who were wearing tattered linen clothes and starving to eat, burst into tears.

When the people were receiving money and food, a man named Master Kong knelt on the ground in the Kong Mansion.

"Come here, grab the stick!" Zhang Sheng ordered.

Sticks of various sizes were carefully placed in front of the men of the Kong family.

"Zhang Sheng, you have already stolen everything from my Kong family, what else are you going to do!" Kong Xingxie said on the verge of tears.

"Kong Laoer, I heard that your Kong family's industries are spread all over the country, and they have already left Qufu."

Zhang Sheng said calmly: "It is naturally impossible that the family fortune of this thousand years will only be this little."

"Your Kong family has countless secret kilns in the Kong Mansion. I heard that there are dozens of large and small grain stores nearby, with a grain storage of more than one million dan. They are specially used to sell grain at high prices and make money from the blood and sweat of the people!"

"Now, it's time to give an explanation to me."

"That's nonsense!" Kong Xingxie begged: "Master, my Kong family's thousand-year-old fortune is here, how can there be any other remaining wealth?"

"Really?" Zhang Sheng sneered: "Kong Xingxie, I have copied too many gentry!"

"Which gentleman is not a cunning rabbit?"

"I, Zhang Sheng, knew the tricks of you losers twenty years ago!"

"It's a beautiful thought to please me!"

"Here comes someone, let Master Kong see how my uncle's stick is doing first!"

"Yes!" Several guards responded, and then carried a fat pig.

Following Zhang Sheng's order, several guards worked together attentively.

The huge clamping stick immediately clamped on the fat pig's neck.

For a moment, blood splattered everywhere, and the fat pig howled hysterically.

The huge pig's neck deformed instantly under the power of the clamping stick, and a big fat pig was clamped to death by these Western thieves in front of Kong Xingxie.

Everyone in the Kong Mansion was in a state of shock, looking in great horror.

Kong Xingxie trembled all over, his body suddenly felt comfortable, and his pants were wet.

"Hahaha, Kong Laoer peed, hahaha." All the Western thieves laughed and couldn't help themselves.

"Come here, give Master Kong a stick, use this one!" Zhang Sheng smiled slightly, pointed to the stick that dared to kill the fat pig.

Several guards moved forward and placed the bloody staff on Kong Xingxie's neck.

"Master, have mercy on me, please have mercy on me, please have mercy on me!" Kong Xingxie begged while peeing.

"Hurry up and get all the properties from your Confucius family. If you don't comply, this pig will be your fate!" Zhang Sheng shouted coldly.

"Master, spare your life, I say, I say!" Kong Xingxie said quickly.

"That's right. Come here, take the men of the Confucius Mansion into custody one by one, record their confessions, and compare them carefully."

Zhang Sheng pointed at a man from the Kong family with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks and said: "If there is any untruth, that will be his fate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two guarding Jiaqianjun exerted their strength, and the man from the Kong Mansion screamed and died immediately in front of Kong Xingxie.

For a time, everyone in the Kong Mansion was wailing all over the place, and they all behaved in ugly ways under Zhang Sheng's lustful power.

"Pull them down and interrogate them carefully. If you are honest after the interrogation, I will treat you to dinner." Zhang Sheng waved his hand.

Kong Xingxie was about to cry when he heard this, and he was so angry that he had nothing to say.

Soon, under the power of the clamping stick, everyone in the Kong Mansion confessed what they knew.

Zhang Sheng laughed loudly after hearing the news.

"Let me tell you, a nobleman and a prince have a net worth of millions. How can a bastard like Kong Mansion who has been around for thousands of years not be as good as two noblemen?"

Zhang Sheng looked at the confession and said excitedly: "Hurry up and send people to dig out the private treasures of the Kong family near Qufu, and then send an order to Liu Tianxiu to take Longxiang Town to Qufu in a hurry and occupy the surrounding cities. "

"Let's give Kong Lao Er a plow and sweep the holes!"

"My lord is smart. With so much gold and silver, and nearly 1.3 million shi of food and grass, we have more than enough money and food for our Northern Expedition!"

"When the tens of millions of gold and silver are sent to Nanjing, the leader of the country will praise us before it's too late." Guo Youming said excitedly.

"That's natural. It's true that our trip to Qufu was not in vain. Kong Laoer is really capable and has saved so much wealth."

"Even the food is more than 1.3 million dan. With this food and grass, we will go to Beijing. When Beijing is captured, I may be the king of one word." Zhang Sheng said excitedly: "Tonight , I must invite him to dinner."

Although the Qing Dynasty is currently in a bad year, the Confucius Mansion still has a large amount of food and grass saved.

Unlike gold and silver, gold and silver can be stored for a thousand years and will still be fine for two thousand years.

But if the food is stored for a long time, it will become moldy. No matter how you store the food, it cannot be stored for a long time.

However, the Kong family has plenty of fields, and most of the farmland near Qufu belongs to their family.

After so many years of annexation, if it does not reach a certain scale, saints like Kong Xingxie will be ashamed of their ancestors.

That's not all. Although the water transportation in the Ming and Qing Dynasties is four million shi per year, the grain and grass sent from the south to Beijing is far more than this amount.

As we all know, the north-south economy has a lot of problems in the north because cultivated land was developed early.

We have to rely on the food from Jiangnan and Huguang, otherwise there will be problems.

Now that the north needed food from the south, a commercial network came into being.

The noble gentry in the south are suppliers, and the gentry and noble gentry in the north are dealers.

The grain trade between Beijing and Beizhi during the Ming Dynasty was largely managed by nobles in Beijing.

Each of their families basically has hundreds of thousands of stones in grain reserves as a reserve.

If the entire Beizhi was searched carefully, it would definitely be no problem to scrape away several hundred stones of grain and grass.

Even in good times, nobles would burn incense and worship Buddha day and night, praying to God to bring down natural disasters.

So that their grain reserves can be sold at a high price.

As a result, benevolence is rewarded, and the natural disaster of our Ming Dynasty came.

It was these nobles who couldn't bear it and were destroyed by the camp that came out of the disaster.

As the largest gentry landlord in Shandong, Kong Laoer naturally had a large share of Shandong's grain trade.

After this saint, except for Zhang Sheng and other Western thieves, everyone who comes has to show off their face.

Although the Kong family sold a lot of grain, they relied on 85% of the land rent and goods imported from Jiangnan.

The grain reserves of the Kong Mansion are still as high as more than 1.3 million shi. However, in addition to the Kong Mansion, the Kong family also built dozens of granaries, large and small, which were stored in counties near Qufu.

Therefore, if Zhang Sheng wanted to get this amount of food and grass, he would have to go through some tricks.

……

Night fell again, after a day of torture.

Everyone in the Kong Mansion was escorted to the lobby by the Qianqian Army.

Kong Xingxie let out a long sigh, touched his rat tail, and suddenly felt the beauty of our Qing Dynasty.

"The Western Bandits are far inferior to the Imperial Court. It would be great if the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers of the Imperial Court could defeat the Western Bandits."

"But Prince Xin, how come you were defeated in Hunan!"

"Otherwise, how could I have suffered such a calamity today!"

Kong Xingxie burst into tears when he thought of this.

Only now does he feel how good our Qing Dynasty is. If only our Qing Dynasty was okay, how wonderful he would be.

"Haha, Duke Yansheng is here." Zhang Sheng laughed and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yansheng. Come and hold a banquet!"

Before he finished speaking, the big fat pig that was originally pinched to death was cut into pieces.

The delicacies were fried and served to Zhang Sheng and other generals.

"Humph, a bunch of ignorant idiots." Kong Xingxie sneered.

These people are all feasting on hundreds of sheep.

If you eat sheep, you only eat the tongues of the sheep, and if you eat birds, you only eat the brains of the birds.

Zhang Sheng and his gang gnaw on big pig's trotters in a vulgar way, which is a delicacy in the world. They are really ignorant.

But having said that, Kong Xingxie's stomach was already growling.

I was frightened for a whole day and suffered both physical and mental torture.

I didn't feel anything at first, but I waited for everything that needed to be explained.

After explaining the matter, he felt hungry immediately.

For a moment, Kong Xingxie and others started to lick their mouths as they watched Zhang Sheng and the others gnawing on the big pig's trotters.

But since they were all saints, they had no choice but to continue waiting.

"Quickly, bring up Mr. Kong's food, otherwise the saint will blame me for neglecting Duke Yan."

Zhang Sheng finished chewing the pig's trotters and said quickly.

Soon, food was placed on the dining table of Kong Xingxie and others.

But Mr. Kong, whose stomach was already growling with hunger, was dumbfounded one by one.

"You eat them all, why don't you eat them?" Zhang Sheng said with a smile.

The well-dressed men of the Kong family looked at the dining table in shock.

This, this, this...how can they eat this?

The dining table is filled with bark, grass roots, Guanyin soil, and even some earthworms squirming.

Although Mr. Kong also knows that the people in Qufu eat this, how can they eat it!

"Eat, give it all to me." Zhang Sheng urged again.

"Master, this..." Kong Xingxie frowned, full of resentment.

Everything that needs to be explained about the Kong family property has been clearly explained. It is really inappropriate for Zhang Sheng to embarrass them like this.

"Hmph!" Zhang Sheng sneered: "Mr. Kong, why don't you eat?"

“Not only the people in Qufu eat these things, but people all over the world eat them too!”

"I ate these things when I was a child, and even the king of the country ate the same thing as a child thanks to your gifts!"

As soon as these words came out, Kong Xingxie and the others were speechless.

But a group of military generals nodded in agreement.

"Yes, before I rebelled, I also ate tree bark and Guanyin soil. I didn't even have to eat these things. I had to find them, or even rob them!"

Guo Youming said slowly: "Now that we in Xiying have made it through, when the king takes over the world, the common people won't have to eat these things."

"Although the common people cannot eat polished rice and meat, they can eat brown rice and fruits."

"We, the ruler of the country, and the people all over the world have suffered so much, and now it's time for Mr. Kong to come and taste what we, the mud-legged people, have eaten."

"That's right! I ate these things every day when I was a child, but I don't believe it. You guys in the Confucius Mansion can't even eat a bowl!" A Qianqian Army general yelled angrily.

"Yes! I had to rob it before. I think my parents left because they had no tree bark to eat!"

"Now that we have prepared the bark, Mr. Kong should also enjoy the treatment of poor people like us!"

"Eat, give it to me quickly, Confucius has tens of millions of gold and silver, and millions of grain and grass!"

"Yet, they still collect 85% of the rent from the king of hell from the people, and release the debt of the king of hell that goes out nine times and seventeen times!"

"If you gentlemen don't eat these tree barks, Guanyin vomit, and earthworms today, none of you will survive!"

For a while, the generals in front of the army were eating pork and drinking wine, and they all complained angrily.

The generals of Xiying were all born in poverty, although their own conditions have long since changed.

However, most of these generals have gone through hard times, so they hate corrupt officials, landlords and gentry.

Look at the miserable conditions of the people in southwest Shandong, look at the people dying of hunger everywhere in Qufu, and then look at the tens of millions of gold and silver and millions of grain and grass in the Confucius Mansion.

How can these people have no opinions in their hearts?

"Kong Laoer, I've been eating this for more than ten years. Is it possible that you can't even eat a bowl today?" Zhang Sheng scolded with a straight face:

"If you don't finish all these things today, you might as well walk out of the lobby!"

"They're just a bunch of traitors. I don't believe that if I kill your king, you can actually express your anger at me!"

Before he finished speaking, a group of soldiers came to Kong Xingxie and others again with sticks.

"Eat! If I don't eat your food, why don't you want it?" Zhang Sheng spoke again.

Sticks, large and small, were once again placed on Master Kong's necks.

"Aozhongtang, you must win. The Western thieves are so hateful. They are not human beings!"

"The whole Kong family can only count on you!" Kong Xingxie burst into tears and said with grief and anger in his heart.

Now Confucius is reciting poems, and the days of flowers in front of the moon are gone forever.

Only if our Qing Dynasty wins can they live their previous lives!

After putting a mouthful of bark into his mouth, Kong Xingxie's face turned red and he swallowed it with all his might.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't swallow the damn bark.

There's no way to eat the bark without a glass of water!

While those Kong family members chewed the grass roots and bark in their mouths with difficulty, they imagined that the Qing Dynasty could defeat these Western thieves, bring Zhang Sheng in front of them, and be stepped on and rubbed under their feet.

"Hahahahaha." Looking at the appearance of these Master Kong, the generals of Xiying laughed.

The entire Confucius Mansion suddenly became happy and filled with a happy atmosphere. (End of chapter)
