In fact, when Ma Luan said this, Ma Shiying had the urge to slap him to death. How long has it been, and he still wants to eat chicken? Don’t you know what the situation is now? Jin Yiwei Qiong is behind.
They can't give up, and now they have nothing, so survival is the best choice.
It’s good to have food, why are you still thinking about chicken?
"You bastard, it would be nice to have this. What are you thinking about?" Looking at his unfulfilled son, Ma Shiying was really angry to death. When did he think about eating chicken? He should be full now.
Leave immediately!
"But father!"
It was also because Ma Luan had been hungry for a long time that he couldn't take his eyes away when he saw the chicken in the child's hand. After all, he used to be well-dressed and well-fed, with many slaves. But the sudden change was so drastic that ordinary people would really not be able to accept it. However,
What he couldn't accept the most was that what they exchanged for priceless money was just corn!
Not even a bit of meat!
I can't stand it!
"We exchanged priceless things with them, why are they only giving us these things? Is this for human consumption? I don't want to eat it, I want chicken!"
Regardless of his father's objection, Ma Luan immediately yelled at the villagers. In his heart, these villagers were lowly people. He was willing to exchange with them to give them face. But they were so disrespectful.
If it had been half a month ago, he would have massacred this village!
Looking at the suddenly crazy man in front of them, the villagers had no idea what was happening. They were just a little scared of this crazy man and took a few steps back.
Seeing that the villagers made no move, Ma Luan showed no courtesy and immediately stepped forward to snatch the chicken from the child's hands. Seeing this, the villagers hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Only then did they realize that this man actually wanted to snatch the child's food.
"This is the food our village pays tribute to the gods, you can't steal it!"
The village chief finally spoke, an old voice trying hard to dissuade this crazy man. The surrounding villagers also hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but now Ma Luan was a little crazy.
His extreme desire made him completely irrational at this time.
The chicken was right in front of him, less than a few meters away, but he couldn't get past it. The shortest distance became the longest distance. Seeing that the child was about to leave with the chicken, Ma Luan couldn't bear it anymore and immediately pulled out a long distance from his waist.
He used his knife to kill all the villagers who were blocking him.
Blood splattered everywhere and screams continued. The villagers who had been standing there a moment ago were all lying on the ground, and their coarse rags were all covered in blood.
A quiet, peaceful and uncontroversial village completely changed in one peaceful day.
Looking at the blood-covered ground in front of him, even Ma Shiying, who had always been a bit cruel, was stunned. He didn't expect that his son would kill so many villagers for a piece of chicken, and massacre the village so ruthlessly.
Got it!
After getting rid of all the obstacles, Ma Luan desperately snatched away the chicken. When he heard the cry of the child, he immediately dropped the knife and stopped crying. But when he was about to take a bite
, then I discovered that this piece of chicken had already gone bad and couldn’t be eaten at all!
It turned out that the villagers had hidden this piece of chicken for a long time in order to pay tribute to the gods today. They prayed to God to give them a good harvest next year. After all, they had not had a good harvest for several years. This piece of chicken was also the last one to be killed.
chicken.
Suddenly, Ma Luan looked at the chicken in his hand, laughed wildly, and knelt on the ground with a plop. He inadvertently glanced at the villagers around him who had been killed by him, and couldn't help being frightened. He rolled and crawled away for a long distance.
.
"Why lie to me? Why! I'm just hungry, I just want to eat meat!"
He spat out a few words of helplessness and reluctance, and roared loudly toward the sky, as if God had treated him unfairly, and it was God who had reduced him to the situation in front of him.
When Ma Shiying saw his son, he couldn't help but rush forward and hug him tightly. Although he didn't like Ma Luan very much, after all, the two were related by blood and were biological children.
At this time, the cries of the two of them also successfully attracted the Jinyi guards who were searching for them. After hearing the sound, they quickly turned their horses around and ran all the way to this place. Only when they got closer did they realize that the place was already filled with blood.
Corpses littered the ground.
…
"The Information Department has been operating very well recently. It has expanded its scope to most of Shandong, and is now gradually expanding to Zhili in the south. In less than three months, Jiangnan and other places can also start operations."
This news naturally made Zhu Ling very satisfied. Wang Chengen gradually transferred all the work of the Information Department to his cronies. For this, Zhu Ling only had one request, he could be greedy, but he could not be without scruples; and this person
You must be loyal to him.
"The sales of alcohol have exceeded the past. Judging from the current sales volume plus the number of reservations, our sales next month can be directly increased to one million! Converted to silver, it is six million taels! Of course, if it can be reduced
For the supply of the army, alcohol revenue should be able to increase."
Regarding this request, Zhu Ling naturally wrote one big word on the memorial: No!
This King of Lu really feels like a profiteer, but as long as he doesn't violate the bottom line, give him more power and let him work hard. After all, the time to rectify Jiangnan's business tax will not be short, so he still needs the help of alcohol.
.
In addition, firecrackers and artillery also need to be upgraded. As a science student, Zhu Ling was very interested in these things in his previous life. If there is a breakthrough in these two aspects, he will not be afraid that Jiannu's cavalry will really dare to charge.
!
In addition, Feng Kaizhang has also made progress. According to him, he has now controlled the younger brother of the largest businessman in Yingtian Mansion. Now he only needs to secretly support his younger brother to rise to power, and he can completely control the entire business of Yingtian Mansion.
Then he made another small request, giving the man's son a seventh-grade idle position to put his mind at ease.
Zhu Ling naturally agreed to all these. The seventh-grade idle position is just a name-based establishment, so it is naturally a trivial matter.
From the current point of view, it seems that they should contact Yan Yingyuan. Furthermore, Qin Liangyu should also write a letter to stabilize her heart. Only with this situation in the southwest can the overall situation in the southwest be stabilized, otherwise the situation in Ming Dynasty will only get worse and worse.
"Wang Chengen, there are two letters here. Send someone to deliver them to two people. The first letter is to Sichuan Commander Qin Liangyu, and the second letter is to another person."
After hearing this, Wang Chengen hurriedly came over. After taking the letter, he asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, who is this letter to? Where is that person now? Do you need to rush it eight hundred miles away?"
"Forehead……"
Zhu Ling thought for a moment and found out that Yan Yingyuan died in the battle in the 18th year of Chongzhen. Although Chongzhen only lived in the 17th year, Zhu Ling traveled through time and would not be unable to survive the next year. He was a Jiangyin classics historian at that time and could not enter
Jiangyin is nearly 180 miles away from Nanjing. If the 800-mile express is used, it will probably take a day and a half at most.
However, Chongzhen canceled all the post stations before, otherwise, the letters should be faster.
"Jiangyin, handed over to a historian named Yan Yingyuan. Enable eight hundred miles to rush, and reward one thousand silver."
"ah?"
Hearing this, Wang Chengen was obviously a little surprised. After all, the 800-mile express delivery was just to deliver a letter to a small Dianshi, which was a bit unbelievable. The 800-mile express delivery usually delivered urgent military reports and national events.
, if it is just for a small classic history, it is always a bit excessive.
Qin Liangyu could accept it. After all, he was now the commander-in-chief of Sichuan. He was responsible for Zhang Xianzhong's annihilation, so he naturally had to understand the situation as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, does it really take 800 miles to expedite a small classic?"
Perhaps he already knew that Wang Chengen would have such doubts, so Zhu Ling slowly explained: "This man is a rare talent. If you let him defend a city and there are reinforcements, he can defend it for you until the end."
As time goes by, forever."
Although the last sentence is a bit exaggerated, and there is no evidence in history that Yan Yingyuan can defend the city to the end of the world, but the impressive record of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians defending the Qing Dynasty's 180,000 troops is enough to prove his ability to defend the city.
If Yanzhou is given to him, at least half of Shandong will not be afraid.
"If that's the case, it's worth expediting for eight hundred miles." Although Wang Cheng'en has never really seen how powerful this person is, he thinks that His Majesty will not lie to him.
Just after Wang Chengen went down to send someone to deliver the message, Shi Bang, who was in charge of dealing with the traitors, wanted to ask to see Zhu Ling and met Wang Chengen who had just left the hall.
"My lord, is this what you want?" Although Shi Bang had a bad temper, he was not a fool. Wang Chengen's status in His Majesty's heart was well known to everyone. On the day when the intruders invaded, almost all the eunuchs of Dongchang were killed.
But only Wang Chengen survived and became the only eunuch beside His Majesty.
It is conceivable that the power is greater than that of the newly reused Jin Yiwei.
"Nothing, I have something to do for the Emperor. Do you want to see His Majesty?" Wang Cheng'en also returned the courtesy politely and then asked.
"Of course, I have a happy event that I want to report to Your Majesty. Ma Shiying and the others have been arrested and will be escorted back to Tianfu soon. Your Majesty's idea of punishing the two of them can also be realized." Shi Bang also informed them in full. After all, Wang Chengen is not
outsider.
"Then let your Majesty know as soon as possible." Naturally, Wang Chengen would not take away this opportunity to report the good news, but would continue to do what His Majesty told him.
