Taizu said that the more knowledge he had, the more reactionary he was. As an intellectual of this era, Liao Huanzhi was a grassroots official of the Qing Dynasty. When he abandoned the object he had been loyal to him before, the reactionary factors in his bones immediately emerged.

In Liao Huanzhi's view, Zhu Yicheng had only one way to accomplish things in this world, that is, to find a way to make the world mess. The so-called heroes come from troubled times, or in the popular way, it is also called "fishing in troubled waters". Just ask how peaceful the world is. Faced with the huge Qing Dynasty, the small rebel army will not be able to become a climate no matter what.

The Qing Dynasty had already entered the pass for as many as 60 years, and the resistance forces in the late Ming Dynasty had long been wiped out one by one. Even the three feudal friars were so powerful that they were pacified by Kangxi. From a local perspective, it can be said to be a "peaceful and prosperous era". Under such circumstances, the rule of the Qing Dynasty was already deeply rooted, and it was not easy to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Just like the Simingshan Uprising before, it was destroyed after a little trouble. This is also the reason. However, Yuan Qi later broke out and made a big fuss all over Zhejiang, and even almost captured the provincial capital Hangzhou. It can be said that the Yuan Qi Rebellion was the largest uprising after Kangxi quelled the Three Feudals. Regardless of its scale and influence, it has not yet been completely calmed down.

More importantly, Yuan Qi, as the leader, has not been brought to justice. The Battle of Hangzhou has ended on the surface and most of the rebels have been wiped out. But don’t forget that not only Yuan Qi, but also Zhu Jiancai and other leaders escaped. The so-called wildfires cannot be burned and the spring breeze has reborn again. This is also the main purpose of Kangxi's intentional sending the eldest prince to the south to lead troops.

In this case, it is unwise to watch Yuan Qi and other troops be wiped out one by one. Not only can we not watch the fire from the other side of the river, but we also have to make them more violent. First, we can attract the attention of the main force of the Qing army, and second, we can also make the place more chaotic.

As the magistrate, Liao Huanzhi is also considered a "Horse of Baili". Although his official position is small, Tonglu is not small as a transfer location. Moreover, before Chen Tianan arrived in Tonglu, Tonglu had already begun to be ordered by the court to hoard military rations and other materials. Compared with the magistrates and prefectures in other regions, Liao Huanzhi knew more about the situation of the court.

Starting this year, a severe disaster situation in Zhejiang was caused. Coupled with Yuan Qi's trouble, it would be difficult for Zhejiang to have a place in Zhejiang this year. Local disaster relief is the job of a local official. Take Tonglu as an example. Liao Huanzhi, as a magistrate, is more aware of the local disaster relief situation.

According to Liao Huanzhi, there are many people who are affected by Tonglu alone, and the food allocation for disaster relief is only 20% which is far from satisfying the use. If the deductions and "losses" at all levels can eventually fall into the hands of the people, there will be a great achievement. It is summer now, and when the autumn harvest comes, a large-scale grain shortage will inevitably break out among the people. Not to mention Zhejiang, even the surrounding provinces will be affected.

Originally, the Qing court planned to seize the time to completely wipe out Yuan Qi's troops and then provide disaster relief. But now Zhu Yicheng has taken down Tonglu, causing a large amount of military food to fall into the hands of the rebels. So it is conceivable what will happen next. Besides, most of the military food hoarded in Tonglu was disaster relief food. The Qing court's original idea of ​​tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall has now become a big leak, with serious consequences.

In addition, the emptiness of the treasury has long become a secret among officials at all levels. The number of accounts in the Ministry of Revenue is very different from the real silver in the treasury. It can be said that the Qing court's treasury has long been borrowed by officials. Without food and money, how will this cover be covered? If there is a great chaos in Jiangnan, isn't this a chance?

Zhu Yicheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't expect Liao Huanzhi to give up this suggestion. This suggestion sounds good, and it can be operated if you think about it carefully.

However, it is difficult to directly support Yuan Qi and Zhu Jiancai and other departments. There is no Internet in this era, and there is no telephone or telegram. Although I have learned about Yuan Qi and Zhu Jiancai and other departments, it is not so easy to find them. Moreover, if Zhu Yicheng sends people to contact him, it will not take a day or two. Liao Huanzhi suggested that he could appropriately release the news and prepare to evacuate Tonglu. As long as Zhu Jiancai gets the news, he can come as soon as possible, then Tonglu can be thrown out. As for whether Tonglu falls into Yuan Qi or Zhu Jiancai's hands, what's the difference?

Zhu Yicheng agreed to this, but he had to discuss with Dong Dashan and others how to operate it. In addition, Zhu Yicheng had other ideas about where he would go after evacuation from Tonglu, especially after asking about the transportation of military rations and ordnances in Tonglu, Zhu Yicheng decided to meet someone first.

In the backyard of the county government office, Zhu Yicheng looked at the middle-aged man sitting in front of him. The other party was not old, only in his thirties, but he had a strong figure, dark skin, and dry hair. He looked like an ordinary old farmer in the field, but his eyes were very bright.

"Boss Pan has been burdened these days. The people below don't understand the rules and don't know the identity of Boss Pan. Please forgive me." Zhu Yicheng took the initiative to lift the teapot in front of him and brewed a cup of tea for the other party. Dong Dashan and Wang Dong, who were standing next to Zhu Yicheng, also smiled appropriately and clasped their fists to apologize.

"We are just a stinky coolie who runs a boat. How can we afford to be so polite to you, Mr. Hong. It's already my luck that Mr. Hong didn't let someone chop off my brothers and I'm already the luck of my surname Pan."

Not only did Boss Pan not be grateful for Zhu Yicheng's treatment, but instead sarcastically sarcastically said to him, even if he didn't touch the tea in front of him, he sat there looking angry.

"Haha, Boss Pan is just a joke, it's just a misunderstanding. If I had known that Boss Pan was a hero of the Luo Sect, I wouldn't have made such a fuss. Come on, drink tea and tea." Zhu Yicheng was not angry, but instead smiled and handed it over. As the saying goes, hesitated, Boss Pan took Zhu Yicheng's tea cup.

He turned around and winked at Wang Dong. Wang Dong, who had already prepared, immediately opened the boxes beside him. When the boxes were opened, the light suddenly became white under the sunlight, making people unable to open their eyes.

"There are 10,000 taels of silver here. I know it is not easy for the Luo Sect brothers to travel around the world. This time, we accidentally ruined the brothers' business. These silvers are considered compensation for the brothers. What do you think, Boss Pan?"

Seeing so much money, Boss Pan couldn't help but jump. The Luo Sect was doing business on water, and the wind and rain were selling hard work, and it was even very dangerous. After a trip, the brothers in the ordinary Sect earned only to support their families. Even a leader like Boss Pan worked very hard and did not receive much reward.

Ten thousand taels of silver, this huge sum really made Boss Pan feel very excited. You must know that their life was only 3,200 taels. Zhu Yicheng lost almost three times the amount of silver as soon as he took action. Seeing this money, Boss Pan's anger had long disappeared, and only excitement and excitement were replaced.

Forced to suppress the commotion in his heart, Boss Pan pretended to be calm and asked: "Master Hong, you seem to have more money? I, Luo, rely on rules to walk around the world. I should take as much as I should. As the saying goes, I will not receive any reward without merit. Please take back the extra money."

"Haha, this is what Mr. Hong specifically asked to compensate the Luo Cult brothers. Although Luo Cult and I are not the same sect, after all, we are all fellow practitioners. The Luo Cult brothers suffered a lot of losses in this battle. The extra silver is for apologizing, and the second is for you to give it to you, Boss Pan." Dong Dashan explained with a smile on the side. Boss Pan glanced at Zhu Yicheng with a smile, and thought for a while and said, "Although this is a good thing, after all, my Luo Cult is a world-wide religion. The brothers in the church are all ordinary people who abide by the law..."

"Of course, this is of course." Dong Dashan nodded repeatedly, and Boss Pan said clearly, indicating that the Luo Sect is not the White Lotus Sect, and even if it collects the money, it will not join the gang and rebel together.

Zhu Yicheng had already understood this, and he had no hope of pulling Luo Jian to his side directly. Today's purpose was to make friends with what Dong Dashan said, and at the same time resolved the previous misunderstanding. After all, after taking down Tonglu, the Luo Jian suffered a lot. Even Boss Pan was thrown into prison by the rebels as the government officials and suffered for several days. If it weren't for the people below who reported it to Zhu Yicheng and carefully talked about the situation of Luo Jian, maybe Boss Pan was still eating the prison.
