The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

However, Yan Song did not speak out, but - summoned the grain merchant again.

"See Mr. Yan Ge!"

This time I met Li Yi, the largest grain merchant in Linqing, the owner of Yuntong Grain Company. This is a grain merchant attached to the water transportation organization. With the development and growth of water transportation, it has become one of the largest grain merchants in Shandong.At this time, when he was received by Yan Song, he was so excited that he had a good opportunity to hug his thighs. Now that the express company has fallen into a bottleneck, at most he was just wandering around on the ground in Shandong, and he couldn't get anywhere else.

"Elder Yan, when you go to Jiangnan, you will inevitably encounter all kinds of difficulties. This is some of the thoughts of Xiaomin. Please accept it with a smile..."

Another bundle of silver notes, Yan Song opened it with a big thorn, and a denomination of 10 silver taels was about 10 chapters. Damn, it was [-] taels when it was shot, which was much faster than a horse thief.

When Li Yi saw Yan Song's action and his expression, he immediately smiled, and it was obvious that Yan Song had accepted the gift.

"Is the owner of Yuntong Grain Store, I accepted this gift." In the next second, Yan Song's face turned cold: "I ask you one thing, you have two choices, one is to tell the truth, I will protect you A lifetime of wealth; one is telling a lie, and I chopped off your head."

After speaking, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, one left and one right, drew their knives in unison.

Li Yi, the owner of the grain bank, was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and said in fear, "The little people must know everything!"

Yan Song nodded: "Well, what I want to ask is Caoliang. Has the magistrate ever sold Caoliang before? Has your Yuntong Grain Store accepted it?"

"This..." Li Yi hesitated.

"Speak!" As soon as Yan Song drank, the sword lights of the Jinyi guards around him flickered.

"Yes, I said, I said." Li Yi was so frightened that he quickly revealed everything he knew, "The magistrate and the Cao Transport Officer sold us the grain, and we sold the old rice to them. My grain store was in the second half of last year. A total of 10 shi of old rice is exchanged for new rice. As far as I know, other grain stores also have tens of thousands of shi, and there should be about 30 shi in total..."

Yan Song verified Li Yi's statement from his mind-reading skills. He was furious and said coldly, "Very well, you didn't lie. As long as you do one thing today, I promise to make it possible for you to transport food and supplies to the world."

When Li Yi heard this, he was overjoyed, the bet was right!

"Please instruct the old man! Xiaomin will do his best!"

"I want you to go back, so so..."

Li Yi looked embarrassed, but when he thought of hugging his thighs, he gritted his teeth and went out. There were also 10 Jinyiwei who went out with him.

After busying for more than half an hour, Yan Song finished seeing all the big food stores.

The last person Yan Song met was Yu Wenhui, the second-in-command of Linqing County, who was the second-in-command under the magistrate.

Yan Song chatted with him a few words, and after reading what he said in his heart, he confirmed that although this person is considered greedy, he is not too greedy and has a bottom line, and he did not touch the grain.Moreover, this Yu Wenhui is not the kind of official who can only talk about guns, but an official who can do practical things and have a bottom line, which is very rare.

Half an hour later, Jinyiwei and Dongchang Lang rushed to Zhutu, and all of a sudden they took control of the magistrate, Caoyunguan, and Caoyun granary.

For a time, the entire small town of Linqing County was in a state of turmoil, but when they thought that the Shoufu Lord of the current dynasty was in charge, the people couldn't help but feel at ease.

Not long after, Jinyiwei found more than 50 taels of gold, silver, jewelry, silver notes, etc. from the magistrate, and Dongchang also made a lot of gains from the Cao Yunguan, more than 80 taels, apparently earned by selling Cao grain.

At the same time, a bunch of officials who were only greedy and could not do practical work were also arrested.

Afterwards, Yan Song let the two people parade on the street to show the public and announce the charges. The two were quickly smashed by countless rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, tomatoes, etc., and finally beheaded to show the public, and they were applauded by countless people.

·············

In the end, Yan Song promoted Yu Wenhui, the second official, to serve as the magistrate, and temporarily served as the envoy of water transportation, copying all the affairs of Linqing County.

Yu Wenhui was simply pleasantly surprised. He was not a jinshi or a scholar, but a scholar. If he had never been able to appoint a magistrate in the past (the magistrate can only be appointed as a jinshi), but now, he was directly promoted by Mr. Yan Ge. .

Thanks Dade!

Yu Wenhui was suddenly full of passion, and he continuously promoted some capable and practical backbones in the county, and began to take over Linqing County.

After the grain merchant Li Yi went back, he discussed with those grain banks for several hours, and they couldn't resolve the dispute. In the end, Jin Yiwei raided several grain stores and delivered 30 shi of grain and more than 100 million taels of silver.

...........

After being killed like this, these grain merchants were honest. In the end, they handed over a total of 50 shi of grain and sent them to the grain warehouse, half of which was used for disaster relief, and the other half was transported to the capital.

When the low prices of these grains appeared in the county seat, the high grain prices were smashed straight through and became very cheap, making the people cheer.

Then they also used part of the grain as food for work, cleaned up rivers, or built city walls, killing three birds with one stone.

When Yan Song sailed south to Jining the next day, the appearance of Linqing County was clear.

"Congratulations to the old man!"

On the pier, tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, shouting to the distant water transport ship.

At this time, Yan Song heard the system prompt tone.

"Ding~~ Successfully rectified Linqing County and got 10000 points."

"A total of 11000 points."

Yan Song secretly said as expected, and then according to the original plan: "I want to extract historical figures, and I want military generals."

"Ding~~ Consume 1 points to draw historical generals... If the drawing is successful, you will get a third-rate general [Zhang Ren]."

"Zhang Ren: At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a subordinate of Yizhou Shepherd Liu Zhang, the official went to Yizhou to work. In the 18th year of Jian'an, during Liu Bei's attack on Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren led his army to face Liu Bei, and was defeated and killed."

Yan Song frowned.

Looking at the introduction, I feel that this Ren is very scumbag. He has no record, just one 'killed'.

"System, where is he now?"
