The devil is coming

Chapter 593: Getting Rich (Updated Updates in the Update Circle and Invitation Letter Event)
Autumn is actually gone, and I can no longer hold my tail;
Winter has actually come, but almost everyone in this land tacitly agrees that it is still autumn. As long as it hasn't snowed yet and it hasn't been covered in snow yet, they feel that it's not winter yet.
Because people can no longer bear the fact that winter has begun in this situation.
Winter is a setback for everything.
Overwintering is also called surviving the winter;
Once you get through it, it’s another year. If you can’t get through it, you don’t have to get through it anymore.
Uncle Zheng was riding on horseback, looking at the long escort team in front of him. Most of them were Chu people.
It is really hard for you to imagine how terrifying the accumulation of those great nobles must be.
To put it bluntly, it is extremely rare for a wealthy family or a wealthy gentry to have a legacy that lasts for more than a hundred years. In fact, most of them cannot escape the law that wealth cannot last more than three generations.
Starting a family, making a fortune, managing a family, and finally breaking it, the cycle starts over and over again, and wealth is accumulated and dissipated.
But these are almost the great nobles who have retired from the country.
They are like blood leeches parasitizing the country of Da Chu.
And, like Pixiu, it can only go in but not out.
Over the past few hundred years, the wealth he has accumulated is really staggering.
Compared with them, the imperial treasury was not even on the table.
Because the money of the court is not used to save, but to be spent. Although generations of scholars in this world like to write poems to advise kings to cherish the people's power and not to be extravagant, it seems that as long as the king lives the life of an ascetic monk, the world will be peaceful. , but the officials who are actually in charge of the Ministry of Accounts actually know in their hearts that the lack of circulation of money will also have negative consequences.
It is impossible for the defense force of these nobles to stop the wolf-like and tiger-like Dayan cavalry. In fact, most of their private soldiers have already contributed to Zhennanguan.
Right now, they are extremely weak.
After a thorough search, Uncle Zheng discovered that the places with the most real wealth were not in the treasure houses of these nobles. Many of the places the regent listed on the list he gave himself were directly referring to the possessions of these nobles... …ancestral graves.
Yes,
The real wealth is underground.
Because these Da Chu nobles are extremely hard-core emperors, and their fiefdoms are passed down from generation to generation, and their ancestral graves are in their own fiefdoms, so they don't need to worry too much about things like tomb robbing.
Therefore, it is not difficult to excavate the tomb, and there are no magical anti-theft mechanisms. There are no reports from people below that they have seen Liang Cheng's relatives.
Uncle Zheng's troops immediately launched a vigorous tomb robbing campaign. In order to better stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers to dig tombs, the army also started a competition.
Whoever digs the most, who digs the fastest, and who digs the most accurately will be recorded, and will be awarded the honor by Uncle Zheng himself.
As for what is taboo or not?
That's just a joke,
Which of these big-headed soldiers has never seen blood or killed anyone on or off the battlefield?
How could such a person care about taboos or not?
Furthermore,
Digging graves to pay for the army,
Borrow money from Tiandi Bank,
This has been the established practice of warlords in troubled times since ancient times.
Most of the Chu nobles who had their ancestral graves dug up chose to be angry and dare not speak out. They just gathered together and watched their ancestral graves being dug up and their ancestors' bones being thrown away casually. exposed to the sun on the ground.
There were a few respectable families who dared to resist, but they were wiped out in an instant.
Uncle Zheng remembered that in Hutou City, he encouraged the soldiers to rush into a local house. After nightfall, he went to the ruins and thought about it for a long time.
Now,
Really, nothing is done without doing it.
I’ve done it too many times,
Also numb.
As for those Chu nobles who chose to compromise and swallow their anger, Uncle Zheng was merciful and neither killed nor arrested them.
to be honest,
It’s true that I and my uncle are taking advantage of each other.
Uncle Zheng also knew that his uncle was using his brother-in-law as a knife to clear the obstacles for him to govern the Chu Kingdom in the future.
but,
This knife of mine has a thought.
I only cut the meat I want, and I won’t scrape off the remaining skin and the spoiled part for you.
The only thing these nobles can do next is to find their emperor, kneel down and cry.
Of course, Zheng Fan also knew that his uncle would never allow these nobles to recuperate and resurrect, but he just disgusts you, so why?
Si Niang is very busy these days.
She wants to count the looted goods,
Because the number is huge, and most importantly, there are many types, it is really difficult to count them.
Uncle Zheng also took the time to ask for an approximate number.
Let Siniang be converted into silver and gold,
result,
Uncle Zheng's mouth was open for a long time.
However, when I think about the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are attacking Chu, the total number of soldiers is actually acceptable.
At this time, we have to resort to the glorious tradition of the Zheng family army earlier in Cuiliu Fort, then in Shengle City, and finally at Xuehaiguan - enriching their own pockets.
Anyone who has worked in logistics or distribution knows that it is difficult not to be greedy;
People outside also know that it is unlikely that you are not greedy.
A smart person can do it. He knows that you are probably greedy, but it looks very clean on the books;
In this way, outsiders will not think that you are not greedy, but they will definitely be only a little bit greedy.
Considering Uncle Zheng's current status, no one would be dissatisfied if he had a little more share;
As soon as he thought about this, Uncle Zheng couldn't help but ask Siniang to deal with this issue more harshly.
From now on, the development of people's livelihood in eastern Shanxi will depend entirely on it.
Of course, an influx of too much gold and silver goods at once will inevitably lead to a decrease in purchasing power, but this kind of financial problem is not something that Shandong needs to consider now and in the next few years. The more, the better;
If it doesn't work, then Uncle Zheng will feel aggrieved and go back to build more golden toilets in the house.
The transportation capacity of civilians is a big problem. The soldiers themselves can provide some, but Uncle Zheng also turns a blind eye to this point.
Military disciplinary officers will only catch those who are involved too much. Two horses, good fellow, the horses' hooves are struggling to move. What are you doing?
You must know that we are still in Chu land now, and peace has been negotiated, but who knows whether the Chu people will fall out at any time?
Why didn't we have any idea about Chu Ren at the beginning?
If a war suddenly broke out, would your war horse be able to charge?
The sergeants must participate in the escort, but the number cannot be large, so they try to capture as many Chu people as possible to be civilian husbands, that is, slaves. After being transported back to Shanggu County or back to Jin Dynasty, these Chu people themselves are actually the "population wealth". ”, will definitely be left behind.
Uncle Zheng originally wanted to imitate the first generation of Zhenbei Hou who plundered the population of the three sides of the Qian Kingdom a hundred years ago, but Nian Yao's army immediately set up camp after crossing the Wei River.
It was no longer a needle, but a huge iron pestle, standing there.
This makes it impossible for the Yan army to let go and do whatever they want, and they must maintain the greatest combat readiness and vigilance against them.
but,
In fact, it is enough.
The army retreated in an orderly manner. Uncle Zheng looked at the list and searched about [-]% of the targets. Some were too far away, so he didn't go, some were too remote, and some were too lucky. , who happened to be stuck by Nian Yao's army, naturally stopped going.
In everything, safety comes first, and the Chu army is not given any chance to launch military operations.
The army returned fully laden, crossed the Wei River in batches, and returned to Shanggu County.
On the day Uncle Zheng crossed the Wei River and returned to the boundary of Jingcheng, heavy snow began to fall in the sky.
The two armies of Yan and Chu, with the Wei River as the boundary, both sides settled in their villages and began a new round of confrontation.
Yan Jun pulled away,
The Chu people were able to tighten their doors again,
Although the majestic pass of Zhennan Pass was gone, when Chu's navy stood across the Weihe River, the Chu soldiers still breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
No one can say whether there will be another fight in the future, but at least for now, it won't happen in a short time.
A battle between Yan and Chu that lasted for a year,
The curtain finally came to an end.
When the curtain fell, there was another small episode.
Uncle Zheng wrote to Nian Yao,
He said that he wanted to go on a boat on the Wangjiang River with him for a while, each with a guard.
Nian Yao refused.
……
"Come on, eat."
Guo Dong handed a piece of dried meat to Xu An.
Xu An is now Jin Shuke's personal soldier and is always with Jin Shuke. It can be said that he has a bright future.
Guo Dong is not bad either.
Now he has put on a new suit of armor, and the sword on his waist has also become standard. He clearly looks like a school captain.
This is not,
He even got some dried meat and gave it to his good brother.
Xu An was not polite, took the dried meat and started chewing it.
In fact, he was convinced to work with Jin Shuke, because Xu An could feel the energy contained in this barbarian general's body.
He is a person who does things, he is someone who knows how to do things, he is someone who can do things.
However, this barbarian general was very strict with himself in life and was determined not to treat him differently. Therefore, as his personal soldier, his daily diet was actually similar to that of a big-headed soldier.
"Now, that girl Ah Shui from your hometown can't escape, she's the captain."
The captain has already entered the ranks of officers.
"It doesn't matter if I'm not an official or not. The key is that my uncle personally registered me as an official, hehehehe."
Guo Dong smiled while stroking the captain's badge on his body.
He still remembered the scene the day before yesterday when his uncle asked them to come on stage to receive awards, and his uncle even patted him on the shoulder himself.
Although separated by a layer of armor, he could still feel his uncle's palm, which was very generous and warm.
"What is your rank as captain?"
The military system at the bottom of Dayan is actually very chaotic. The rank of captain is fine in the regular army, but in the local area, it is actually like a snake oil.
I remember that when I was in Beifeng County, most of the Wubao masters had hereditary school captains. The first "Business Protector School Captain" that Uncle Zheng served as was a temporary title that the princess made up at random. , on the contrary, titles such as the City Guarding School Captain and the City Patrolling School Lieutenant are relatively formal and systematic.
"Here, look at Sarah."
Guo Dong proudly took off his belt and handed it to Xu An with both hands.
Xu An bit the dried meat in his mouth.
He took the badge and took a look,
I saw two big characters engraved on it:
Touch gold!
