Chapter 370

Hong Chengchou was given a chance to incubate so much silver in one place. He knew that so much silver was here. If he sent an army to raid the place, took away the silver here in one fell swoop, transported it all to Beijing through the canal and sent it to the emperor, he would be successful.

As for these rich people in Jiangnan who have lost their silver, they must hate him to the bone. They want to drink his blood, sleep his skin, and use up the water of the three rivers to slander him and destroy him. But what's the problem? After he got so much money for the imperial court, he could make the imperial court solve all the troubles and solve all the problems. That's what he wanted.

This can also be said to be a rare opportunity. Jiangnan is a rich place. The tax revenue of more than a dozen governments in Jiangnan is more than that of several other provinces. Even if it is a rich Jiangnan, when has so much wealth been concentrated in one place, which gives him the opportunity to take away the wealth.

Such an opportunity is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he grasps it, he can really achieve great things. Therefore, it is false that Hong Chengchou came here to incubate silver and spy on the military situation.

As a disciple of Confucius, Hong Chengchou doesn't believe in silver hatching at all. He doesn't believe in strange things. He only believes in real things. Based on his personal experience, he believes that this is likely to be a game played by Liu Bu or Zhu Dadian, or by these dignitaries and salt merchants in Jiangnan. Their purpose is to play this game, Mainly to pit the money of the rich and ordinary people in Jiangnan.

He doesn't know who is laying out the layout, nor is he interested in knowing, but he knows one thing, that is, the other party has put a lot of silver here. So much silver is concentrated here. If he comes to a yellow Finch and takes them away in one fell swoop, I believe he will achieve great success.

After the success, Taicang of Daming will be richer than ever, because with so much money, the imperial court will get a breather, and he will become a famous traitor. These rich people in Jiangnan will certainly find a way to cut him thousands of times, but so what? If you sacrifice him to achieve Daming, what's the harm?

He was thinking about something. If these people successfully cheated the money, what would they do with it? Like Zhu Dadian, they may buy more fields, more antique calligraphy and paintings, and more beautiful women and wine to enjoy.

Or like the Liu family, they can recruit more servants, seize more territory, form some separatist forces, and force the imperial court to accept their conditions. No matter what their wishes are, he doesn't want to see them and he doesn't want to accept them.

Since these people try their best to get so much money, mainly for use in impractical places and places that are harmful to the imperial court, why not grab the money and use it in places that are useful to the imperial court and Daming.

With these ideas, he was firmly prepared for the idea of taking money with a horizontal knife.

Hong Chengchou suspects that this is a situation, which is no accident. If there is such an immortal in the world, how much suffering there is in the world, why doesn't he save it? Why haven't you heard of such a thing before? Suddenly, an immortal appeared.

Moreover, they are near Qingyun temple, but they have deployed so many troops. On the one hand, it can also be said that they are keeping this money. There must be some shady activities in it.

In order to prove his doubts, he sent Hong Yun, the leader of his personal team, to check. Hong Yun is his confidant. Although his surname is Hong, he has no blood relationship. The other party is an elite border army veteran who was born at night and saved his life when suppressing bandits, so he has always stayed with him and is responsible for leading his personal team, He is the person he trusts most to protect his safety.

Hong Yun is not only alert, but also highly skilled in martial arts. He is a fierce general killed from the dead.

Hong Chengchou gave him wealth and honor, and he also worked for Hong Chengchou. He saw that Hong Chengchou was ordered by the imperial court to guard the shepherd and eliminate the exiled bandits, but there were villains such as Zhu Dadian and Liu bu. They made trouble everywhere and set obstacles for them everywhere. Now it's better. This group of shameless people even set up a situation of insulting people's wisdom such as incubating silver, He wanted to find out what was in it and who was setting up the game.

Hong Yun is a team leader who doesn't accept at night. He is very good at checking all kinds of news. For checking news, he has his own unique way. That is, he knows that everything is good, so he must check at the source. As soon as he inquires, he knows that the source of the whole thing is fan Ruoshui and Tian tiger.

So he immediately went to investigate the background of these two people. They are nothing special. They are the same as the public in the society. He wants to get close to investigate each other or catch each other and torture them. For a senior general like him, he has no pressure to torture several civilians. However, he found that the other party has always been in Qingyun temple, He never came out at all, and now there are countless guards stationed several miles away from Qingyun temple. Although these soldiers are garbage soldiers in his eyes, there are so many people. He can't get in with such strict precautions. He has no way to take the other party.

But he can be sure that a large amount of silver is being transported here. In the back mountain of Qingyun temple, there are Jinshan and Yinshan. Countless rich people bring their silver here in carts and boats to incubate in the back mountain. The most conservative estimate is that it has exceeded tens of millions.

Hong Yun's mouth is watering. How nice if he gave so much silver to the marshal? He will certainly assist the imperial court, wipe out the exiled bandits and bring about a peaceful and prosperous era in the Ming Dynasty.

On the surface, Hong Yun came with Marshal Hong recently. In fact, he had secretly led a night collection team to check as early as a few days ago. He had already seen a lot of news. He fed back these news to Hong Chengchou one by one. Hong Chengchou was sure that this was a scam, depending on when they ended.

These people catch cicadas with Mantis. He can catch the birds later. Hong Chengchou knows that this batch of silver is the key. As long as he controls this amount of silver, he can catch the key of the whole thing.

So he apparently led hundreds of cavalry to come. In fact, he just wanted to hide people's eyes and ears. Secretly, he has mobilized one of his most elite troops and secretly sneaked to Yangzhou to prepare to fight at the critical time. The most critical thing is silver.

Since Hong Chengchou was hiding people's eyes and ears on the surface, he entered the city with a very high profile and formed a group with the rich and powerful people in the city. Everyone called him brothers. He was very friendly and lived in harmony. Secretly, he was silently paying attention to all this and was ready to fight at the critical time.

No one can imagine that Hong Chengchou, who is cold and serious on the surface, is this kind of person. For example, Zhu Dadian regards Hong Chengchou as his competitor and as a person who steals food from his own trough.

Zhu Dadian also studied hard for ten years, and then became a scholar in high school. He became a Tian Shirang in the morning and ascended the emperor's Hall in the evening. However, he is a little different from Hong Chengchou. The biggest difference is that after he became an official, Hong Chengchou has a mind of governing the country and the world, which is also related to his teacher's teaching. His teacher is a famous Confucian, He has the mind of governing the country and the world.

Zhu Dadian's teacher told him that to be a man, you should strive to be upward and eat bitterly. Only then can you be a man. You want not to be bullied by others. You want not to be bullied by others. If you want to live a good life, you will stand out. Therefore, he studies to stand out. Being an official is to stand out, not bullied by others, but bullied others.

Therefore, after he became an official, on the one hand, he went all out to govern, which is the basis for him to become a greater official. On the other hand, he did not hesitate to go all out to be greedy for money. What he despised most was an honest official like Hai Rui. He thought that since he was an official, he had to live a human life, otherwise who would want to be an official.

He Zhu Dadian has no other ideals and feelings. His only ideal is to be a bigger official and greedy for more money. It's best to get so much money when he retires, like Li Sancai, and live a life as rich as a king in the countryside. This is what he wants.

As for what allegiance to the imperial court, to the emperor, to govern the country and to level the world, what does it matter to him? He is just a member of all living beings. He came here as an official in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, just for money and to live better. If he could live the same life in the countryside, he would not travel long distances to become an official here.

Although Zhu Dadian didn't admit it, in fact, in his heart, he regarded Li Sancai as his idol. He wanted to enjoy the fame of the world like Li Sancai, and then fished a large amount of silver. On the one hand, he enjoyed the honor of the world, on the other hand, he enjoyed the rich and noble life of the world.

When Zhu Dadian was very young, he learned that if you want to eat better than others and dress better than others, you must be a master. In Daming, the only way to be a master is to be an official, be a bigger official and make more money.

So after Zhu Dadian became rich and poor in the world, he did not hesitate to form an alliance with the Liu family. Although he also knew that people like the Liu family were actually restless and kind-hearted, and it would happen sooner or later, it would happen sooner or later. Now cooperating with the Liu family can bring benefits to him. Why not do it, just like if it can bring benefits to him, He doesn't mind cooperating with the Donglin Party, or kneeling down like Wen Tiren.
