Please ask me to be the emperor

Not to mention Zuo Liangyu's life, it is said that since Zhang Shun left, Shunwangping has been managed by the Xing family, who is now renamed "Red Lady", and is led by Chen Jindou, Zhao Yutou, Xiao Qinhu, Chen Jingzhi, and Zhao Li With the help of Zi and others, life became more stable.

In addition to Zhang Shun's more than 1,000 men and horses, the people left behind in the camp also included members of the Zhang clan, blacksmiths, coppersmiths, etc. The total number of people in the camp was probably close to 2,000.

As expected, this red lady was very clever in her tactics. She managed the two thousand people by herself, so that everyone could perform their duties and get their own place, and the camp gradually became regular.

Since the rebellion started, the first priority has been to eat food. This is also the most fundamental reason for the rebellion of the Shaanxi rebels. After all, everyone is a cunning citizen who "does not want to live in peace and starve, but imitates the mantis." If there is no food to eat, they don't care whether you are the emperor of the Jinluan Palace or the destined emperor with a sharp head, they will all turn against you!

Confucius said: enough food. When Zhang Shun started his career, he only relied on seizing dozens of carts of rice and wheat shipped by the Li family, which created a huge momentum. Now, with more and more people under Zhang Shun's command, the food in Zhang Shun's hands is far from enough to ensure everyone's rations.

Although they found that there were many fish in Shengwangping Lake, the number was limited and they could only be used as non-staple food.

After inspecting the surrounding area, Lady Hong found that Yuanqu County was an important trading town and was not easily noticed by the government, so she used the silver in Zhang Shun's hands to buy grain from Henan.

At first, merchants from Henan did not dare to sell grain to the Red Lady. The Red Lady sent Chen Jindou, Zhao Yutou and others to negotiate many times, but no good results were achieved.

Zhao Lizi was young and energetic, and couldn't help but said: "Zhuzi is bullying others too much. I am a thief anyway, so why not rob all of these people!"

When Zhao Yutou heard this, he reached out and slapped him in the face, and cursed: "How can the teacher of the king call himself a thief?"

After all, Zhao Lizi learned some books after following Zhang Shun, and he was quite dissatisfied and said: "Since ancient times, we have followed the rule of thumb and obeyed the law. Since the Lord is about to take over the world, why should he be so hypocritical? Isn't he a corrupt scholar?"

Zhao Yutou was choked by his grandson, and angrily stretched out his hand to try to solve the problem "by force". At this time, Lady Hong heard this and said with a smile: "The way of killing comes from my lord, and it is not something that I and other subordinates can guess. However, this matter of food needs to be considered in the long term."

"We are ready to give birth, and we must not kill the goose to obtain the eggs again. If we rob these merchants this time, no one will dare to come next time. From now on, even if we hold the gold and silver mountains, we will not be able to fill our stomachs."

"Your boy is now knowledgeable and has a lot of truths. What do you think if I don't have dinner tonight?"

As the saying goes, "A young boy is a poor man," Zhao Lizi was just growing up. He ate a lot every day and looked like he couldn't get enough to eat. Now that he was going to cut off his own food, he suddenly lost his momentum and didn't dare to say anything.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw this. Just when they were laughing at Zhao Lizi, Chen Jindou suddenly hurried back with someone in tow.

After receiving the notice, Lady Hong quickly stopped everyone's playful behavior and asked Jian'er to invite Chen Jindou in.

I saw Chen Jindou with a smile on his face, leading a wealthy businessman in his forties or fifties wearing brocade clothes and a goatee to walk in.

The red lady observed her words and guessed that Chen Jindou must have achieved the result. But this man actually brought the wealthy businessman to the Shunwangping camp. The red lady couldn't help but frowned and asked steadily: "Why is Mr. Chen so anxious to return to the camp?"

"A happy event, a happy event!" Chen Jindou said with a proud smile, "I heard in Yuanqu County that someone was inquiring about the Lord. I thought it was a break from the imperial court, so I brought a few people to try to capture this person."

"I never thought that the flood would wash away the Dragon King Temple, and my family would not recognize my own family. This member Li is my lord Gu Jiu, and he has a life-saving grace with me. Now that I heard that my lord has done something big, I specifically asked me to take him to the camp. .”

"Firstly, I want to catch up with my lord to catch up on old times; secondly, I want to do some big business with my lord! I wonder where my lord is now? Can you spare some time to meet this person?"

It is known to everyone that Zhang Shun has left the camp long ago. The red lady is so smart. After hearing this, she knew that Chen Jindou was pulling a tiger's skin and trying to deceive this person.

The red lady never expected that "there is no place to be found even after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it." He and others worked hard but couldn't get it done. Instead, someone heard about the lord's name and sent it to his door.

She then lied and said: "Unfortunately, my lord has led his troops out in the past two days. It is said that he wants to attack the officers and soldiers near Liaozhou, but no good news has been sent yet. I am the wife of this village. If there is anything happening outside of the village, please let me know." with me."

"If I can make the decision, I can also talk about business with Mr. Li on behalf of my lord. If I can't make the decision, I can also wait until the lord returns and tell everything to him."

This "member Li" couldn't help but frowned when he heard this. It turned out that this member Li was none other than Li Baihu from Lijiazhuang in Chenzhou.

In the previous episode, Li Baihu was negligent and sent Zhang Shun and Ma Daozhang to follow his team to transport grain to Shanxi. As a result, Mengjin never expected that when the Yellow River burst, all the grain transport teams were wiped out, and he lost both men and money.

When Chenzhou Zhizhou heard the news, he even suspected that Li Baihu had pocketed his share, so he looked for opportunities to make Li Baihu look bad. Why wouldn't anything happen if I didn't send someone to follow? I sent my staff Master Qian to keep an eye on me, will something big happen? I have been an official for a long time, how can I not know the trick of "fire dragon burning the warehouse"?

Li Baihu had no choice. He could neither win the trust of the magistrate nor explain to other officers in the guard station, so he had to personally lead the remaining troops under his command and transport the grain and grass to Shanxi again.

Firstly, he was preparing to make another fortune to appease everyone, and secondly, he was trying to find out what happened in the first place.

Although Zhang Shun's work was clean from beginning to end, he could not withstand the scrutiny of interested people. What's more, Li Baihu is not handling the case, so he doesn't need any evidence.

He just made some inquiries and found out that when the Yellow River burst in Mengjin, hungry people rebelled, broke into Mengjin County, opened warehouses for grain, and then plundered the land north to Shanxi.

Li Baihu's heart skipped a beat at that time, and he intuitively realized that this person was the "right one" Zhang Shun.

Although Li Baihu is a cautious person, he is not stupid. He had previously believed Taoist Ma's claim that Zhang Shun was the "True Dragon Emperor". Now that Zhang Shun is really prosperous, he can't think of pursuing his dozens of carts of food.

At this time, Li Baihu regretted that he did not listen to Taoist Master Ma's advice and married his daughter to Zhang Shun in order to seek wealth for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, it is not too late to remedy the situation. Li Baihu arrived at Yuanqu County with food. Hearing that bandits were rife in Shanxi, he did not dare to go forward. After wandering around for a few days, he thought about it and decided that he should inquire about Zhang Shun to see if he could get in touch with him.

If this person really has the appearance of an emperor, he must go back and offer his daughter as a gift, and become the head of the country himself; if this person does not miss the old relationship, he can at least follow his way and sell his own grain to the "thieves and bandits".

Anyway, no matter whether they are officials or bandits, everyone must eat food. Whoever you sell is not selling. As long as you can earn some money, why not do it?

Sorry, there is only one chapter today, so you don’t have to wait any longer tonight.
