Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 477 Appease the Victims
At noon on the second day of the notice to pay the rations, which was the deadline set by Ye Xun, none of the wealthy gentry in the city came to pay the rations.

For this situation, Ye Xun had already prepared in his heart, knowing that these people were waiting and watching, since they all chose to toast rather than eat fine wine, then they had to be serious.

After three quarters in the afternoon, following Ye Xun's order, the four gates of Chongqing were closed, and then countless officers and soldiers went to the homes of wealthy gentry and merchants according to the list.

Ye Xun didn't want to go too far, so he didn't directly ransack the house. He just arrested everyone and asked their families to redeem them, but the amount of food and grass was doubled.

For a while, the families of the wealthy gentry and merchants in the city were wailing. No one thought that Ye Xun would be so decisive that he would really dare to arrest them. You must know that in the middle of Shu, even if the King of Shu asked them for help, he would come in a soft voice Discuss, how can anyone do it directly like Ye Xun?

The rich quit, but the ordinary people gave their thumbs up, because there have long been rumors that Ye Gonggong asked the rich to donate food in order to prevent the disaster victims from outside the city from entering the city and making trouble.

Preventing the disaster victims from entering the city to cause trouble is tantamount to protecting the ordinary people in the city. After all, those nobles in the high-end courtyards have family guards.

Therefore, ordinary people absolutely agree with Ye Xun's move. In a short period of time, Eunuch Ye's reputation once again reached a new height.

This time Ye Xun also gave these wealthy gentry and businessmen a day, if there is still no food delivered at noon tomorrow, then I'm sorry, Eunuch Ye is really going to kill someone.

At the same time as the collection of food and grass, Ye Xun ordered to recruit soldiers from the victims.

Except for the Qin family army, the army in central Shu seems to be out of reach now. In this case, then train another army that is only loyal to itself.

[-] guards, and another [-] were drawn to serve as junior officers of the new army, and the commander was Qin Liangyu.

This is what Ye Xun promised Qin Liangyu before. Although Qin Liangyu is loyal to the court, he is not loyal to Ye Xun. Therefore, the grassroots officers of the army should still be served by Ye Xun's direct descendants.

Qin Liangyu didn't have any objections to this, because Ye Xun was an eunuch, and she couldn't think of the difference between the army's loyalty to Ye Xun and the court's loyalty, not to mention Ye Xun even gave her such a big gift, so not only did she have no objection , and let the brothers fully cooperate with Ye Xun.

The guards around Ye Xun are all experienced veterans. Under their training, the army can quickly improve its combat effectiveness, and they are only loyal to Ye Xun.

The number of troops was initially set at [-], and they were divided into ten battalions. It was not that Ye Xun did not want to recruit more, but that the Chongqing government did not have so many weapons and weapons, and the number of [-] had already emptied the Chongqing Armory. Even so, Ye Xun still passed on the letter To the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War is required to dispatch ordnance and other materials to Chongqing Mansion as soon as possible.

At this time, outside the city of Chongqing, on one side was the recruiting site of the new army, and on the other side was the area where the victims of the disaster could not be seen. It was very lively.

Don't look at the rich gentry and merchants in Chongqing shouting loudly behind their backs, resolutely boycotting Ye Xun, never giving Ye Xun a grain of food, etc., but when the steel knife is resting on their necks, none of them dare to shout like that. After all, they are not really short of food.

Not only that, after handing over the food, some wealthy gentry simply took refuge in the end, not only explaining that someone in Chengdu coerced them not to cooperate with Ye Xun, but also set up temporary porridge farms outside the refugee camp to cooperate with the government's relief disaster victims.

Not to mention, this move by the wealthy gentry undoubtedly greatly eased the pressure on the government.

It is impossible for Ye Xun to let the victims wander around the outskirts of Chongqing. After the food is in place, he will order the government to disperse the victims. Each family will give some money to settle down, and at the same time bring some food. Of course, this is only the first step, Ye Xun In the name of the imperial court, these victims were exempted from taxes for three years.

This series of measures stabilized the hearts of the victims in a very short period of time, and also won Ye Xun the reputation of being a Buddha of ten thousand families, which can be described as a happy event.

Many young and strong people among the victims joined the new army directly. In this way, both the new army soldiers and their family members were better accommodated. The recruiting site of the new army was quickly overcrowded.

The official bank in the Chongqing government's treasury is limited. If it hadn't been for copying She Chongming's lair, Ye Xun would have been able to afford such a large amount of expenses. No way, he can only think about it from the wealthy gentry and merchants There is a way.

Chongqing is located in the lower reaches of Chengdu. Whether by land or water, if you want to go to Chengdu, you have to pass through Chongqing.

After the surrounding areas of Chongqing Prefecture gradually stabilized, Ye Xun ordered again to block the water and land transportation arteries, and all materials leading to Chengdu must be checked out of the box, which is called checking contraband.

What are contraband?I'm sorry, the official has the final say. In short, the materials must be withheld first. When to release them, of course, depends on the official's mood.

This is in ancient times, there were only a few roads leading to Chengdu. If you don’t go to Chongqing, you have to go to Hanzhong. Who can stand such a toss!

Soon, officials and businessmen in Chengdu couldn't sit still, and they organized groups to visit Grandpa Ye in Chongqing.

Grandpa Ye was very busy these days, after he bought some local specialties in central Sichuan and sent someone back to the capital, he went into the mountains to hunt for treasures under the leadership of She Chongming.

In fact, Ye Xun didn't really believe in the treasures. Are there so many so-called treasures in the world?He just needs a reason not to kill She Chongming for the time being.

But later, with a better understanding of She Chongming, Ye Xun believed that there was really a treasure in the mountains near Chongqing, and the owner of this treasure was Ming Yuzhen, the lord of Daxia who once proclaimed himself emperor in Chongqing.

Ming Yuzhen died in 1366, and the Daxia Kingdom was destroyed by Zhu Yuanzhang in 1369.

Ming Yuzhen was 38 years old when he died, and his son was only ten years old when he succeeded to the throne. Based on this analysis, this treasure is very likely to be a treasure that was preserved in advance when the Ming family planned to make a comeback.

You must know that Ming Yuzhen was originally a so-called rebel army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and there must be no shortage of gold, silver and treasures wherever it passed.

Instead of letting these treasures see the light of day, let Ye Xun do something meaningful.

According to the sketch drawn by She Chongming, the treasure is buried more than a hundred miles west of Chongqing.

Ye Xun was a little tired from the busy days, so he took this treasure hunt as a vacation, and besides Xiaoluo, Yunniang and Xiao Rushi also took it with him.

Fifty guards, more than 300 civilian husbands and hundreds of mules and horses, and a few local people were recruited as guides.

Although She Chongming has repeatedly stated that he will not find the wrong place, Ye Xun is always on guard against this guy.

The dense forest in the middle of Sichuan is full of smog and miasma. In case of being put on by luxury in the dense forest, I am afraid that there will be no place to cry at that time, so it is better to be on guard, this is called being prepared.

In this way, this part-time treasure hunting group is freshly released.
