Chongzhen Undergraduates

"[-], [-]! General, kill me, I've pawned all my underwear." Zhou Kui hugged Zhu Youjian's thigh tightly with both hands, begging for mercy.

"General, it seems that this guy really has no money, or just [-] yuan." A young man next to Zhu Youjian kindly helped Zhou Kui, after all, he also knew the real identities of Zhou Kui and Zhu Youjian .

"Do you know? You hit the wrong person." Zhu Youjian stared at the young man and said, "Yao Hai, you hang him with his grandson and whip him twice." Zhu Youjian knew that Yao Hai was trying to save him Save face, but at this moment he is no longer the Chongzhen before, he decided not to recognize this cheap old man.

Zhou Kui was hung up, and there were also two grandchildren hanging beside him, which killed Zhou Kui.Zhou Kui has been stingy all his life, why?Isn't it just for your own enjoyment and the future of your children and grandchildren?Yao Hai hit Zhou Kui with a whip, Zhou Kui grinned in pain, but he resisted forcefully.People who have lived to a great age have already lived a fine life.

Want his life, take it away casually, ask for money but don't have it.

Chapter 13: Recovering Stolen Money

Looking at Zhou Kui's reaction, Zhu Youjian knew that this cheap old man was a person who could sacrifice his life for money, and beating him was just to let him experience the pain of the whip.Immediately afterwards, Yao Hai's whip hit Zhou Kui's two grandsons with the same force and angle.

It doesn't matter how much Zhou Kui gets beaten, but it's another matter when the whip is whipped on his grandson.Yao Hai's method was very cheap. He whipped Zhou Kui once, and then whipped Zhou Kui's grandson three times.Draw and count while drawing.

"Zhou Guozhang, you're getting old, you can get one whip. Your grandchildren are the third generation, right? If you get one whip, they get three. It's very reasonable!" Zhu Youjian Xixi looked at Zhou Kui and said.

When Yao Hai finished whipping nine whips at the grandson of the Zhou family, Zhou Kui completely lost control.

"Stop beating, I'll tell you everything, you take it all away." Zhou Kui was persuaded, and confessed to all the places where the money was hidden.

No one would have guessed where Zhou Kui hid the money, two of them were actually under the stone slabs in the latrine pit of their house.At first, some people didn't believe it. When a group of trespassers dug out boxes of gray-black silver ingots from the cesspit, everyone fell silent.the gold

It was all gray and black.It can be imagined that this has been buried here for some years, at least not in the past five years.

Another burial place, even more bizarre, is under the statue of the earth god in a small earth temple next to Zhou Kui's house.According to Zhou Kui's account, he built the Earth Temple. On the surface, it is a place to accumulate virtue and do good, and it is a shelter for beggars. In fact, it is a place he built to hide money.

cellar.I don't know how many beggars slept in the earth temple, but no one thought that they slept on piles of silver.

There are three silver deposits, a total of 300 million taels, plus the scattered silver and some jewelry in the Zhou Mansion, the total is more than 500 million taels.As for real estate and fields, basically they cannot be sold at this time, and can only be confiscated in name.

Zhu Youjian looked at the Zhou family who collapsed on the ground, feeling pity in his heart.

"I heard that when your son-in-law asked you to donate the military salary, you embezzled 3000 taels with your daughter's private money, and only donated 2000 taels, right?"

"The matter has come to this, I regret that I was greedy for money and didn't help my son-in-law."

"Regret it now? It's too late. However, I am a kind person. This is 2000 taels of silver, and I will give it back to your Zhou family. Adding the 3000 taels you embezzled before, it is exactly the amount your daughter gave you, so treat it as her The pension money given to you is as if you have never given birth to a queen's daughter!

Qianliang, if you want to live a rich life again, it’s not enough, but your Zhou family will be self-reliant from now on, working hard to manage the family, and doing a small business is enough.If it doesn't work, just make a coal stove! "Zhu Youjian finally left 2000 taels of books for Zhou's family, which is considered to be the best of benevolence.

After Zhu Youjian blackmailed Zhou Kui, he sent someone to take 50 taels of silver, bought a lot of cooked meat and fine wine, let every Chuangjun who participated in the operation have a delicious meal, and then escorted the silver cart, and the mighty Reported to Liu Zongmin.

Liu Zongmin, who heard the news, showed a strange calmness, not as impulsive as he was when facing Chen Yuanyuan.In the front hall of the Wu Mansion, Zhu Youjian was sitting on a chair, and a Chuang Jun who accompanied him to Zhou Kui's house was called by Liu Zongmin into the wing room for questioning.

"Did he embezzle or corrupt ink?" Liu Zongmin pointed to Zhu Youjian outside.

"General, I embezzled 50 taels and bought a bunch of cooked meat and wine to share with the brothers. I also left some silver for Zhou Kui's family expenses, but it's not much. I guess it means a thousand taels. "

"He didn't take any money himself?"

"No, I was watching the whole time."

"Okay, you go down."

"Good brother, you have made great contributions to the army again this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?" Liu Zongmin was uncertain about Zhu Youjian. This person is facing millions of silver, but he is not greedy for one or two. weird.Liu Zongmin has been a rebel for more than ten years, and he has seen many people.

He said that he was not greedy at all, but he would be suspicious of such a person.

"General, I want money too, but I can't take it quietly. Everyone likes money, and I'd feel more at ease taking the reward from the general." Zhu Youjian looked at Liu Zongmin expectantly, which meant: Boss, you see that I have made so much money for you, you will not treat me badly.

"Frank enough! I like this." Zhu Youjian's words made Liu Zongmin completely relieved. Everyone loves money. He is not afraid of Zhu Youjian's greed, but he is afraid that Zhu Youjian will pretend not to be greedy, and his subordinates who are not greedy at all Don't worry about using it.

"The general rewards you with 500 taels, and you can take it yourself. In addition, your silver ingot is very good in texture and color. King Chuang has already told you to recruit craftsmen and expand the workshop to make silver ingots and silver ingots for Dashun." bullion."

This is what Zhu Youjian was waiting for. Although he was almost certain that good things would happen to him before, after all, the gold bars and silver ingots of later generations are much more beautiful and convenient than at this time, but when the news is implemented At that time, I was still excited.

"The villain must do his best to do this well."

"Don't be a villain anymore, you have already been promoted. King Chuang promoted you to be the general in charge of the brigade, and you will directly command 1000 people in the future."

"What will the villain do if he doesn't have any subordinates?"

"You are in charge of the craftsman's workshop, except that the guards of the workshop are the old battalion of King Chuang. As for the soldiers under your command, we Chuangjun all pull the team by ourselves, and you have to recruit them yourself!" Chuangjun's old battalion must be pinned by Li Zicheng. And in the hands of someone like Liu Zongmin, other casualties

Most of the subordinate troops are officers and soldiers who surrendered or defected rebels.Therefore, it is impossible to expect Li Zicheng to send troops to his subordinates. It would be good to give you an official position, and you can recruit as many soldiers as you want.

However, what Zhu Youjian was afraid of was that Liu Zongmin was worried about himself and sent troops to him. He wished to have the right to recruit troops himself, so that he could pinch all the forces in the capital together.

"Then can I call myself Brigadier Commander?" Zhu Youjian suggested mischievously, thinking of the organizational system of the army in later generations, since the official title contained the word brigade.

"Brigade Commander? This name is new, but it's easy to pronounce. Let's call you Brigadier Commander Liu."

The fact that Zhu Youjian squeezed a large amount of money from the father-in-law's house not only alarmed Liu Zongmin, but even Li Zicd in the palace was alarmed.The whole Chuangjun was in an uproar!When everyone took down the imperial city, they thought that all the money in the capital was in the imperial palace, but they didn't find much in the imperial palace.

With less money, I thought I would just be poor like this, but I didn't expect a blockbuster to come out of nowhere.

Ever since, Li Zicheng made a move himself, Liu Zongmin also made a move, and the entire Chuang army, regardless of their official position, all made a move.The previously orderly capital city no longer exists. The streets are full of rebellious troops, looting everywhere, smashing, looting and burning everywhere.Did Zhu Youjian come or not?

And when Wei Zaode was interrogated, he heard that Wei Zaode had already been beaten to death by Liu Zongmin in prison.

Only one of Zhu Youjian's briquette stoves was sold, so there was no chance.

"General Liu, isn't it a bit too much for us to do this?" In the darkroom of the workshop, Wang Chengen was a little confused about Zhu Youjian's behavior.Since a princess and two princes escaped safely, Wang Chengen's attitude towards Zhu Youjian has changed drastically. Although he can't directly call him Long Live,

But the respectful attitude has changed a lot, at least now when facing Zhu Youjian again, he has slowly started to serve him as the master.

"If we don't do it, do you think Chuangjun won't do it? These people are extremely stingy to me, and they are responsible for the current situation. If everyone was united, where did this disaster come from? I don't blackmail them. Chuangjun will also do it, it's just a matter of time."

The first thing Zhu Youjian did after receiving the establishment was to fill it up. Zhu Youjian, the brigade commander, only manages three thousand soldiers, which is quite different from the brigade commanders of later generations.If the craftsmen and family members of the craftsman workshop are counted, it is barely enough to be the size of a brigade in later generations, and Zhu Youjian, the brigade commander, can be regarded as a famous

It's back.After all, Chuang Jun's current military system is chaotic, with generals walking all over the street and soldiers running everywhere.

The technique of Bailucoin was only learned by the top brass of Chuangjun. As for the ordinary soldiers below, they were smarter than Liu Che in the method of drawing inferences from one instance.When they first entered the homes of ordinary people, they asked to borrow things, and at the beginning they borrowed pots.

"There are too many people in our barracks, and we don't have enough cooking pots. The general asked me to come to your house as an excuse to use cooking pots." Zhu Youjian saw with his own eyes that Chuangjun robbed like this.

"Master Jun, there is only one pot in my house! You took it away, how can I cook in my house?" the master begged bitterly.

"Hugh is so long-winded. I lent you a pot to save face. No matter how noisy you are, I might arrest you."

"Okay, okay. Take the pot away!"

"Your family's bed is good. We have a lot of people in the military camp, and there are not enough beds to sleep in. Let us use it."

"Okay, take the bed, too!"

"No, there's no place to put me if I have a bed, so I'll borrow your bed tonight."
