Don't even say bad things. Zhu Yiyuan treated Yan Zibin really well.
Also, Yan Zibin provided so much valuable information, even if he was regarded as his biological father, it would not be an exaggeration.
Master Fang frowned and suddenly said: "What's wrong, as the saying goes, you will eat whoever you eat... I would like to remind you that Yan Zibin is a ruthless person! He killed Kong Fan before he could do anything.
, if he had the chance, he would also kill Qian Shi. You must always be on guard."
Zhu Yiyuan raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled: "Master Fang, let me ask you something. Do you know how many famous restaurants there are in Jinan Prefecture?"
Master Fang was stunned. Does this matter?
Although he didn't understand, Lao Fang still answered honestly: "I used to go to Jinan Prefecture often, and I have eaten at five famous restaurants. When it comes to Shandong cuisine, Huixianlou, a time-honored restaurant, is the one that's good at this!"
Master Fang extended a thumbs up.
Zhu Yiyuan smiled slightly, "Indeed, but you may not know that I am the boss of Huixian Tower."
"What?"
Master Fang almost took off on the spot.
Are you kidding? Huixian Tower has been in business for at least several decades. When did the surname become Zhu?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Zhu Yiyuan's smile never faded... He didn't lie.
It is true that Huixianlou is a big restaurant, but it is in great trouble, especially when the world is in chaos. Not to mention anything else, just because Ma Degong sent troops to attack Laiwu, he extorted 20,000 yuan from the Huixianlou family.
Kilograms of dry food.
After working from top to bottom on Huixian Tower for several days, only two thousand kilograms were produced. The remaining gap was filled with money. Even so, the owner was arrested and thrown into prison for five days.
Almost lost his life.
When he climbed out of prison, he planned to sell Huixian Tower and find a peaceful place to hide.
As a result, at this time, a person came and showed his interests. Now there are wars everywhere, and where is the pure land of peace and happiness? The Qing government is extorting excessively, and there will be easy things to suffer later.
If you want to continue running your business, you have to find a helper. This helper can give you money, help you survive the crisis, and protect you... As for the exchange conditions, it is just a little bit, just provide a little convenience so that we can deploy people.
Come here and learn some news secretly.
No need to ask, it was Pupan who came to talk.
Relying on the good popularity accumulated through many years of doing business, he not only took over Huixian Tower, but also attracted two other families.
In other words, three of the five most famous restaurants in Jinan Prefecture are Zhu Yiyuan's spies.
What's even more outrageous is that Zhu Yiyuan directly arranged for people to go to Jinan Prefecture to do business, build a carriage and horse shop, and sell grain.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Yiyuan's people are spread across all industries in Jinan Prefecture, and he can see them clearly from top to bottom.
Although Yan Zibin was an important source of intelligence for Zhu Yiyuan, he was almost irreplaceable.
But if he wanted to plot against Zhu Yiyuan and bite him back, that would be impossible.
Mr. Fang was stunned. He never expected that Zhu Yiyuan's hand could be stretched out so long?
"Qian Shi, are the officials in Jinan Prefecture all fools and no one notices it?"
Zhu Yiyuan laughed loudly, "So what if I notice it? Do they still have a grudge against Qian?"
Master Fang's whole body was shaken, and he couldn't help but slapped his forehead so hard that it made a crackling sound.
I understand, I finally understand.
How could he, who came from a government office, not know who those officials were?
The Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty, but only changed some chief officials, and some did not even change the county magistrates. They were still a bunch of profit-seeking things.
Zhu Yiyuan dominates several counties in Yimeng, where the local products are rich.
Especially after Zhu Yiyuan implemented land equalization, farmers in Laiwu and Xintai had some grain on hand.
However, the price of food for the Qing army was extremely high.
In Laiwu, you can buy one stone of grain for two taels of silver, but when you get to Jinan Prefecture, even five taels is not enough... Food prices were expensive during wars, but now that Zhu Yiyuan has made trouble, the price is even higher.
As we all know, the only thing that can scare away businessmen is losses. As long as it is profitable, no matter how dangerous it is, they will do it without hesitation.
The Qing court is not all fools. Some people can naturally see the problem, but it is difficult to determine whether they are ordinary businessmen traveling back and forth, or businessmen who are attracted to Zhu Yiyuan... Or maybe the Qing court also needs to get something from these people.
some important information.
So after Zhu Yiyuan rebelled and occupied several counties, it became really difficult to communicate with the Qing court. Ordinary people were afraid, but those merchants became more active.
After all, when the Ming Dynasty blocked the Qing court's economy, there were also Shanxi merchants traveling to and from the grasslands, trafficking food and supplies... Now Zhu Yiyuan and the Qing court are intertwined, making communication more convenient.
There is no monolithic reason.
After Master Fang figured it out, he suddenly felt horrified and shuddered, as if the entire Jinan Mansion was full of Zhu Yiyuan's people, and everyone in the world understood that Zhu belonged to him.
"Zhu Qianshi, do you really know everything?"
Zhu Yiyuan smiled, "No way! This has just begun, and the main people we are staring at are just a few people. For example, seven days ago, Qian Qianyi and his concubine Liu Rushi went to eat braised sea cucumbers with green onions, and they were full of praise.
The two of them started to quarrel. Liu Rushi asked Qian Qianyi not to persecute the scholars and harm the people, but Qian Qianyi refused to listen... The conflict between the couple is getting bigger again. I am evaluating whether to win over Liu Rushi.
Already."
"Stop talking, please stop talking." Master Fang was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, holding his head, and trembling all over. It was so terrifying that he was scared to death.
For a governor as big as Qian Qianyi, Zhu Yiyuan knew exactly what he ate and what he said. What else did he not know?
I'm afraid everything in Jinan Prefecture has become a sieve.
All I can say is that Zhu Yiyuan is so terrifying.
This incident actually led to another incident. Zhu Yiyuan chose to stay in Shandong, close to Zhili, and was short of major generals. Why should he fight with the Qing government and kill the Qing army at will? Otherwise, he would destroy him and he could persist.
How many days?
This is the reason why only military accounts are calculated. First of all, Zhu Yiyuan cannot run away. If he runs away and the Qing army chases him, he keeps expelling the refugees and destroys the local order, then he really has no choice but to sail overseas or go to Burma and wait to be strangled to death.
Secondly, he stayed in Shandong, where he was familiar with the people's conditions and could easily investigate information.
He is not a simple thieves like Xie Qian.
Zhu Yiyuan has many tricks in his belly!
This was just a small test of his skills, and Master Fang was frightened out of his wits. This guy's courage was really lacking.
Zhu Yiyuan would not believe the news Yan Zibin sent to Zhu Yiyuan lightly. He would have to cross-verify it.
Once Yan Zibin is found to be dishonest, he may be stabbed eight times in the back and commit suicide on the toilet... After all, there is no need to be polite to traitors.
A few days later, the first batch of seventeen families, who had secretly communicated with the Qing court and even recruited people privately, and wanted to rebel against Zhu Yiyuan, were sent over.
These people thought that they were doing things secretly and that Zhu Yiyuan had no idea about it, but how could they have expected that the Qing Dynasty they had pinned their hopes on actually had Zhu Yiyuan's people.
It's not so miserable to fall into a trap!
"Master Zhu, spare your life! Spare your life!"
"I beg Mr. Zhu to be merciful and not do this again next time."
Zhu Yiyuan just smiled coldly, do you have any misunderstanding, think that I am a good man and a believer who is easy to talk to! Don't forget, I also killed hundreds of people in one go.
"Betray the people and plot evil, all leaders will be killed!"
Zhu Yiyuan gave an order, and all the heads of the seventeen families fell to the ground.
"Their family members will not be spared. The land will be recovered, the free money will be confiscated, and all labor will be sent to the Yishui River to reclaim wasteland and build water conservancy projects."
This time Zhu Yiyuan did not say a time limit, which means that they are very likely to work until death, and this is only the first batch, there will be more to follow... This chapter has been completed!
