Chapter 152 Offending Chen Ying with Serious Consequences
Chapter 152: Offending Chen Ying is serious
Farming requires people and a large number of people is a well-known thing. Every aristocratic family controls a number of refugees, and making these refugees who have lost their land become tenants of the aristocratic family is their only hope to survive. Now they have another way out, using clans or fortresses and one hundred households as a fort to establish a small farm.
The refugees have no oxen, no ploughing tools, and no seeds. The Tang Dynasty Tongli Money Bank would lend them. Is the 20% interest per year considered the conscience price? Of course, in later generations, 20% interest can definitely be considered usury, but in this era, it is definitely considered the conscience price. Compared with Zheng Shidong's 40% interest sometimes as high as 70% or 80% interest, the loan interest of Tongli Money Bank is too much.
However, it is easy to organize refugees to build farms, but it is difficult to lead them to reclaim land in the wilderness. After all, Chen Ying is not a god, and he will not create seeds in vain, plowing tools and oxen. In desperation, Chen Ying had to recruit heads or representatives of major clans to discuss countermeasures. Discussing countermeasures is just a banner, and Chen Ying's purpose is just begging for alms.
Faced with the heads or representatives, Chen Ying tried his best to persuade him: "All the gentry and good people, now His Highness of the Qin King is attacking Luoyang, and refugees are suddenly pouring into our Henan. These refugees are furious and hungry!"
Chen Ying bowed to Chang'an and said, "Ben Pacifier was ordered by the saint to appease Henan. If the refugees were freezing to death, not to mention Ben Pacifier, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not look good in appearance. Ben Pacifier has already asked Chang'an for help. As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench near thirst, now we can only rely on generous donations..."
Henan is also the sphere of influence of the Zheng family in Xingyang. The small and medium-sized families and aristocratic families in Henan County have always been led by the Zheng family and advanced with the Zheng family. Before Chen Ying's speech was finished, the heads of the small and medium-sized families and representatives of the small and medium-sized families looked at Zheng Anchun.
When it comes to Chen Ying's words, Zheng Anchun, on behalf of the Zheng family in Xingyang, naturally also needs to stand up and express his opinion. Zheng Anchun was very angry with Chen Ying at this time. These refugees were originally the food of the Zheng family. Zheng family would choose some young and strong families among the refugees as Zheng family tenants or wealthy households. Chen Ying tried to control these refugees. Now Chen Ying has the attitude to ask for money from the Zheng family to support these untouchables.
However, even if Zheng Anchun hates him, Chen Ying is not something he can offend. Even if he feels ten thousand unhappy, he dare not show it on his face. However, Zheng Anchun said with a sad face: "Chen Fu Mingjian, Zheng has a big family, but the Zheng family has a large population, Henan has some food in the autumn harvest and produces some money, and each workshop has some money, but Anchun is just a servant and cannot make a decision. Anchun will send a letter to my family and see how my master decides..."
Zheng Anchun made up his mind that if Chen Ying could not offend him, he would not offend him. He adopted the word "drag". It would take two days to pass the message to Xingyang, and three or four days would pass, and Chen Ying might not have been delayed yet.
As the saying goes, "Destroy the county magistrate of the family and destroy the prefect." Chen Ying's pacifier is now ranked above the prefect. It is very difficult for others to deal with the Zheng family, but it is not impossible for Chen Ying.
There is no need for Chen Ying to fabricate it. Zheng is sitting on the wall and watching the scenery and observing the wind direction. Chang'an must also know that if Chen Ying takes action to suppress Zheng, Li Yuan will enjoy it. Chen Ying now has the lifeblood of Zheng. It is not easy to destroy the Zheng family, but it is not difficult to make Zheng lose a lot of wealth.
Chen Yingqi couldn't hear what Zheng Anchun meant, and his face turned cold at that time.
When Zheng Anchun saw Chen Ying's face changed, he hurriedly changed his words: "Of course, life is greater than the sky. Zheng Anchun is the manager of the Zheng family's outer courtyard. He does not need to ask for instructions. Anchun overtakes the money and expenses of less than 100 guan a month, making his own decisions and donated 100 guan a month and 1,000 shi of grain for Zheng family..."
Seeing Zheng Anchun expressing his opinion, all the small and medium-sized families and landlords donated generously. In less than a quarter of an hour, Chen Ying received more than 800 guan and 2,000 shi of grain donations.
Seeing that more than 100 families donated 800 guan and 2,000 shi of grain, Chen Ying finally realized what an iron rooster is and what it means to not pull out. If divided, each of these more than 100 families only took out six guan or more than ten shi of grain. Chen Ying's eyes fell on Zheng Anchun and said sarcastically: "You are so generous. You actually took out more than 800 guan and 2,000 shi of grain. Thank you very much."
Zheng Anchun did not feel guilty and said calmly: "Although there is not much money, this is the limit that Anchun can achieve. Otherwise, how many more days will Chen Anfu please wait?"
"Where should you be content, I am the most content!" Chen Ying smiled and said, "I am on behalf of tens of thousands of refugees. Thank you all!"
Everyone left by comforting the envoy. Chen Ying kicked the desk over with a bang. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk were all on the ground, and the pages of paper were flying in the hall like butterflies: "It's so damn that I'm so damn, I'm using this general as a beggar!"
Xu Jingzong actually couldn't see it at this time and shouted repeatedly: "These people are really..."
Shan Xiongxin said angrily: "They are too much!"
"Hmph" Chen Ying said: "This general has given them a face. Since they don't care, it's no wonder that others are. Zhou Qing, Guo Luo!"
Zhou Qing and Guo Luo rushed into the hall quickly and bowed and said, "I'm so humble!"
"I want people, people with good skills, flexible and quick reactions, don't need too many people. Just one hundred people, let them stand by tonight." Chen Ying said angrily: "Tonight, I will make them look good."
When Xu Jingzong heard this, he was shocked and said, "Master, you can't do anything randomly. If you want to send troops to deal with Zheng, you must have a big problem!"
Xu Jingzong's concerns were not unreasonable. The forces of the Seven Sects and Five Hopes were mixed and unimaginable. It was just an emperor as powerful as Li Shimin, who was still so angry that he was smoked, but he could do nothing.
"Haha, I'm not a three-year-old child!" Chen Ying nodded, showed a mysterious smile, and said, "If you don't teach them a lesson, I can't let out this tone in my heart, but I can't tell them a lesson, but I can't leave any handle. This is a technical job, and I must plan it well!"
"What are you planning?" At this moment, a familiar voice came. Chen Ying turned his head and saw Luo Shixin coming back.
Chen Ying said: "Nothing."
"I heard it, what do you want to do..." Luo Shixin patted Chen Ying on the shoulder and said, "This matter cannot be left to me..."
Chen Ying had no choice but to allow Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, Duan Zhigan and Zhang Huaiwei to stop doing it. Now, almost all Chen Ying's direct generals, Luo Shixin, Asanosmo, Zhang Shigui, Shan Xiongxin, Zhang Huaiwei and Duan Zhigan, participated. In addition to these people, there were more than 100 good men who beat black bricks and swung sticks from the tiger Yi.
In order to take himself out, Chen Ying deliberately promoted it in Xin'an City. Wang Shichong sent a large-scale counterattack. So the troops from each county gathered in Xin'an County. The troops were grouped together and rushed to Beimangshan.
Of course, Chen Ying had no intention of beating Wang Shichong at all. Anyway, the battlefield in Luoyang was the stage for Li Shimin to perform. As soon as the sky was getting dark, Chen Ying took Luo Shixin and others to leave Beigang Camp and return to Xin'an.
Before the action, Chen Ying said to more than a hundred good guys: "Everyone says that the iron rooster is not a single bit. I don't believe in this evil. Today I have to pull out the iron rooster's feathers. Today I will take you to do a big thing and follow me to rob the rich and help the poor..."
When everyone heard this, they took a breath and screamed in excitement. Isn’t the so-called robbery of wealth to help the poor just to rob the family? They all like this job.
Chen Ying also said: "Each person who participates in the action will receive a reward of ten cents of money, but you must also understand my rules. We are making money, not killing our lives, and we are not allowed to touch the women and children in the house. If anyone dares to do anything randomly, I will give him no chance to be a human being."
Shan Xiongxin hesitated: "What if..."
"As long as you all keep your mouth in mind, I guarantee that nothing is wrong. Even if they suspect it is me, there is no evidence, they can still bite me!"
Chen Ying had already made plans. Anyway, Li Shimin would soon defeat Wang Shichong. When Wang Shichong was defeated, Wang Shichong's defeated soldiers were everywhere, and then pushed to the defeated soldiers. Chen Ying was so amazing that he was responsible for the crime of poor protection of the place. At most, he could be fined some money. Chen Ying really didn't care.
Chen Ying looked at the people behind him and said, "If someone is afraid and wants to quit, it is still time."
Everyone laughed, and Luo Shixin said, "The fool just quit!"
Chen Ying asked everyone to replace their long-standing weapons, such as Luo Shixin's big iron spear, Shan Xiongxin's horse spear, and Zhang Shigui's iron arch. Under Chen Ying's command, everyone took off their armor. Everyone wore tight black night clothes and head covers, showing only two eyes. Because Chen Ying had spoken to Zheng Anchun and was afraid that Zheng Anchun would hear his voice, Chen Ying asked everyone to stuff a copper ring into their mouths. Because they were afraid of causing death, each of them brought a stick as thick as an arm, which was very cruel to hit people. Of course, they still had to carry a knife, but they would never draw the knife unless they had to be absolutely necessary.
In this way, after the preparations were completed, Chen Ying took everyone to set off.
The first stop to rob a family and rob a house, and the first stop to help the poor without robbing the wealth. It is naturally the Zheng family's villa located in Xin'an County. Who is the best mansion in Xin'an is the Zheng family courtyard? Who will not rob them? Everything is silent, and frost is flying all night, and the whole county is silent, with occasional sounds of bangzi and occasional barking from the streets and alleys.
Chen Ying strode with great strides, without looking sideways, and passed through several streets, a wall of one foot high blocked everyone, and Zheng's villa arrived.
The Zheng family courtyard covers an area of more than 30 acres. For Xin'an County, the Zheng family courtyard is simply a landmark. If you borrow a county government, you will not miss the Zheng family courtyard. The Zheng family courtyard is actually a small fortress, with an arrow tower and a watchtower. There are servants at night and there are fierce wolf dogs guarding the door. It is not easy for outsiders to get in.
However, for Chen Ying, this was not a big deal. When they touched the foot of the wall, two tigers took out a rope and swung it, and were about to throw it on it.
However, Zhou Qing pushed away the two tigers and carried the rope on his shoulders. He took more than ten steps back and started running. He jumped gently. Zhou Qing held the wall with both hands. He turned his arms over, and then put the rope ladder down from the wall. Chen Ying saw Zhou Qing's ability and nodded repeatedly. It seemed that he had done such stealing things before.
Chen Ying was very satisfied. It was good. He felt like a special forces attacking at night. He also climbed up, then jumped into the backyard. Maybe he was a little too big, and as soon as his feet landed on the ground, a wild barking sound of "woo, wooo" came from the other end. A wolf dog flew over, barked his mouth and bit his sharp and white teeth!
Zhang Shigui screamed: "Oh no, I was discovered, what should I do?"
Chen Ying said: "Damn it, do you really treat us as thieves? We are here to rob, not to steal things. Are you still afraid of being discovered? Beat me!"
As he said that, he swung the stick and smashed it to the wolf dog. He swung it on the wolf dog's head with a stick. Unexpectedly, the wolf dog was so dull that it was a little slow and rushed towards Chen Ying again.
At this moment, Luo Shixin flew up and kicked the wolf dog's waist. With a thump, the extra-large wolf dog weighing 89 pounds fell to the ground like a sack, whimpering, struggling, and gradually disappeared.
As for Shan Xiongxin's even more fierce, he simply used a stick. Seeing another wolf dog rushing towards him, swinging his head and fist, the opponent's head was a mess of fist, which was quite ruthless, as if Wu Song was fighting a tiger. It was a pity that Shan Xiongxin was hitting a dog.
Chen Ying looked at the short half of the incense stick, and more than a dozen wolf dogs either smashed into meat pies under a stick or were killed by several fierce men. Chen Ying said to a tiger Yicong: "Don't waste it, take it back later. Tonight, Dundog meat, add a meal!"
At this moment, Zheng Anchun was wearing a cloak, and with dozens of servants holding swords, guns or torches, Zheng Anchun shouted sternly: "Where did the stupid thief come from? He actually ran to the Zheng family to cause trouble! You don't go and ask if you can afford to be provoked by the Zheng family? Those who know the truth will surrender, otherwise you will be killed without a place to die!"
"Bang!" Chen Ying stepped forward and made a stick. The stick was strong. Unfortunately, Zheng Anchun's head was far less hard than the wolf dog's head. He collapsed on the ground with his eyes rolling. Chen Ying smiled and said, "Don't make a fuck if you can do it... Hurry up, grab money and grain and take away all the valuable things!"
Luo Shixin flew away and kicked a servant away with one kick. Shan Xiongxin, Zhang Shigui, Zhang Huaiwei, Ashinasmo and others swung the sticks like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Not to mention Chen Ying was carrying more than a hundred people, even Luo Shixin alone, these people were not enough for Luo Shixin to beat him up.
These servants may have learned some skills in fisting and kicking, but they are not opponents of these ruthless people. They were defeated in less than two rounds. They threw down their weapons and ran away. Those who reacted more slowly would be unlucky and were knocked down to the ground. The fisting and kicking sticks fell like raindrops, making them cry and cry!
