Chapter two hundred and fifty fourth large loot
Yesterday's incident was about organizing the caravan's return cargo, and there was an echo so soon, but Zhu Da really couldn't think of any relationship with the head of the Jinguan Year class. He was also puzzled how the three officials were so excited.
After entering the house, Chang Kai stopped Zhu Da and did not ask him to call Li Zhuang over, saying that the four of us would talk about it after the discussion was completed.
"I heard that Mr. Zhu is handling goods for the caravan again. Our Huairen County is now very dilapidated. Mr. Zhu is worried that he can't find anything, right?" Jin Guannian asked with a smile.
Zhu Da nodded. He knew that the other party was just an introduction, not asking anything. Zhu Da knew a lot about Jin Guannian's tricks in the city, but he couldn't break up the table, so he let him go. Now the other party is so upset to worry about business matters. It's really weird.
"Is there any way for Jinguan Nian?" Zhu Da asked with a smile. Although Zhu Da did not trust the other party, he did not refuse to do anything to the other party.
Jin Guannian kept staring at Zhu Da. After hearing this question, he exchanged glances with Lin Banto. When Zhu Da saw these small actions, his curiosity was hooked up. What exactly made them so careful, and these things were related to business.
"To be honest, Master Zhu said, there are no local specialties worth taking in our county, but there are some commercial goods that can be sold, but these commercial goods... and you also need a reliable charter to sell them." Jin Guannian paused and finished speaking.
"There are only four of us here. If you have anything to say, you can just say it. If it is not convenient to say it, there is no need to say it." Zhu Da said bluntly, feeling that the other party was indifferent to the need to sell it.
Seeing Zhu Da's face darkened, Jin Guannian quickly explained with a dry smile: "It's not that I believe it, it's just that it's really inconvenient to say..."
"Jin Er, you are just troublesome. They are all their own family and speak hesitantly. Mr. Zhu, our yamen has stored a lot of goods that cannot be seen in the past two or three years. If you can't take it out, you can't exchange it for money. It's just in stock in the county. Mr. Zhu, you know that there are no caravans coming to our county town. When you go to the Zheng family to gather in Wangjiatun, there are inconveniences. Not to mention now, they were sold in pieces in pieces before, but this time they are rarely safe. It's not from our Datong locals. So yesterday, Lao Chang brought the news back. Everyone thought it was a way out. Today, I would like to push us to find you Mr. Zhu." Lin Bantou Lin came over and said it very clearly.
After Lin Gang finished speaking carelessly, Zhu Da understood after a moment of thinking. He couldn't help but sneer: "Isn't the stolen goods just stolen goods? If you sell stolen goods, you will say stolen goods. Why do you say so convolutedly?"
After being pointed out by Zhu Da, Jin Guannian's face was a little embarrassed. Lin Gang was just laughing there, Chang Kai looked indifferent, but Zhu Da also knew that Jin Guannian's embarrassment might have been squeezed out.
There are a large amount of shameful stolen goods accumulated in the government yamen, and a large amount of illegal things are stored in legal places. It is very contradictory and strange to say it, but in fact it is ordinary. If it is a stolen goods that are confiscated by normal cases, they can be sold or returned to the original owner, and they have already taken action openly. Then, the stolen goods that cannot be taken now are probably those who are traitors themselves, or those who are burning, killing and looting themselves by people in the yamen themselves.
When he learned martial arts with Master Yuan Biao and Yuan, Zhu Da heard about the activities of people in the yamen in many ways. For example, when the fast class handled the case, he took the lead and confiscated the property of the criminals and deducted them. As for the strong class, he did even more excessively. In a sense, the strong class is the strongest force in the county. However, there are special cases like the Zheng family in Huairen County, so the strong class cannot be shown. As the strongest force in the county, they have the responsibilities of guarding the city, assisting in tax collection, suppressing civil unrest, and escorting key criminals, etc. But in fact, they blackmailed past merchants when guarding the city, deducted them when assisting in tax collection, took the opportunity to rob them when suppressing civil unrest, and robbed along the road when escorting the prisoners. In Huairen County and surrounding guards, there have been many cases of big and small in recent years.
Some can know the whole story, everyone can tell which forces are taking action, while others are mindless, who do what forces do it, but they are still knowing the movement, and there are still many silent cases, which everyone doesn't know, but it has happened. Although the case is not known which sacred person did it, a real discerning person can guess that this is the act of the servants. The reason why no one cares is that they don't attack the locals, but they are very good at choosing goals. They dare not touch caravans that are truly famous and have feet. As people in the government, of course they understand what will be done to make big cases and what will be done to make headless cases.
"......The crows in the world are as black as crows. Don't you think that only Huairen County is full of bad species. The prefectures and garrisons in the border towns are doing this kind of thing everywhere, but some do less and some do more. The yamen in Huairen County is squeezed into a difficult situation by the Zheng family. The money of the Chang's officials is hard to make, so they can only use the means of the wild people..." Zhu Da still remembered how stunned he was when he heard Yuan Biao talk about this matter and how unbelievable it was. There was such a ridiculous thing in the world. Although he had already built his mind, he was still very uncomfortable when he heard it.
Jin and Lin were staring at Zhu Da's expressions. Seeing his undisguised reaction, they had already made a judgment in their hearts. Jin Guannian and Lin Banto exchanged their eyes again. Jin Guannian coughed dryly and said, "It's so that Master Zhu knows that the bulk of these goods has another way. There were several thieves in our Huairen County, all of which were gathered by bandits and bandits. It was a big fuss at that time, and some big households and villages suffered. Many caravans suffered a great loss in the past. Our Huairen County and the garrison gathered together to wipe out the bandits. After suppressing the bandits, everyone did not leave the goods for the top, and they all kept it so consciously. There were also several nest owners who did things for these thieves. They thought they were hiding well, but they could not hide their handles from our husbands, but they could not find their handles from the officials, so the brothers went to the heavens and raided their homes..."
Originally, Jinguan Nian was preparing to make a long talk, but when he said this, he was interrupted by Zhu Da's annoyance. Zhu Da said bluntly: "What's the use of tying these? The thief is the thief."
Jin Guannian is also a very naughty person. He has never had any conscience. But after all, he is a civil servant and he still has no face. He was choked by Zhu Da and was guilty and could not speak for a while. Then Lin Bantou took the lead and asked carefully: "Master Zhu, if Master Zhu is embarrassed, we will not do it. You have never heard of those words just now. It is not easy for everyone to live in the yamen."
Zhu Da didn't say anything, the room was very quiet, Chang Kai stood aside, looking like he was not concerned about his own affairs. Jin Guannian and Lin Bantou looked very good, with resentment and disappointment, but they quickly suppressed it. In front of Zhu Da, they dared not be at all presumptuous, but they no longer had any hope.
"Do, why not do it!" Zhu Da replied. He suddenly shouted loudly, shocking the other three people. Jin and Lin subconsciously thought they were rejected, and then they realized.
The thief is unclean, and the thief is bloody. Zhu Da was very resistant to doing such a shameful dirty business, but he immediately thought that he could not say it was clean, and now he has no position to be conscience.
From the beginning of killing people to now, how much blood is there in your hands, how much blood is there in your business goods, whether your business goods are clean, whether the property of the Fang family and Yang family that have been occupied is well obtained, whether you are so pure and flawless, and jade and ice-clear...
Zhu Da didn't think too much. He stopped his own thoughts. After experiencing so much and seeing so much blood in life and death, Zhu Da would not have too much entanglement and not so delicate. He knew what he was going to do, and for this goal, everything was secondary.
Just thinking clearly is still aroused, so I feel a little bit disobedient.
After hearing Zhu Da’s answer, Jin Guannian and Lin Bantu both breathed a sigh of relief. Zhu Da’s reaction was a little too much. They also felt that it was normal that young people always had to grow up slowly. They were inevitably uncomfortable when they were dirty at the beginning. They were not the same when they were young.
After making the promise, Zhu Da didn't speak immediately. The room was quiet for a while, which made Jin and Lin a little nervous, thinking something had happened.
"How much goods are there? How do you calculate the price?" Zhu Da asked.
Asked this question, Jin Guannian and Lin Bantou completely relaxed. Jin Guannian leaned forward and said with a smile: "There are 360 pieces of silk made in Henan, 600 cotton cloth on the south side, 240 pairs of cowhide boots, more than 700 sets of wooden bowls and basins, 2,500 packs of medicinal materials, 270 pieces of sheepskin, 160 pieces of cowhide, 300 fox fur, wolf fur, lynx fur, 160 sets of lynx fur, 160 sets of ponytails, and horns..."
The Jinguan Year was reported one by one. People from this house had a book in their hearts and remembered them clearly. Zhu Da heard it carefully at the beginning, and the more he heard it, he became more shocked. A piece of silk, three taels of silver, a piece of cotton, and a pair of cowhide boots cost 400 yuan. These are all in Datong. If he leaves the border and goes to the grassland, the price will increase by four times and five times at once. However, in the Ming Dynasty, the price of this wooden bowl and basin is only a few or dozens of yuan. On the grassland, it will increase by more than a dozen times. The medicinal materials are similar. It is not worth much in the Ming Dynasty, but on the grassland, it is indeed a key business to save lives and injuries. Whether it is humans and animals, the price is several times or dozens of times.
As for the sheepskin, cowhide, and various animal skins, as well as ponytails and horns, they are specialties on the Mongolian grasslands and are not worth much money there, but in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it has an increase of several times or even dozens of times.
