The entourage had already prepared lunch and brought it to them. After Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji cleaned up, they sat down around the table and started eating with several of their entourage.
Brother and sister Zhu Shenxuan had different expressions, sitting aside and watching.
"My lord, would you like to eat together?"
Chang Yu smiled and extended the invitation.
Looking at the bowl of mutton soup and a few steamed buns, Zhu Shenxuan frowned: "This is what you have for lunch?"
"Yes"
Chang Yu chuckled: "It smells good and keeps away the cold."
After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Zhu Zhi'e: "Princess, would you like to have a taste?"
"Okay, uh, that bowl seems unclean..."
Zhu Zhi'e was very confused.
"Why isn't it clean? Princess Fang San helps wash a new set of dishes and chopsticks."
Chang Yu quickly ordered.
"No!"
Zhu Shenxuan stood up and glanced at Zhu Zhi'e: "Let's go back to the palace."
"Farewell to the prince"
Chang Yu, Zhou Yuji and others quickly got up to see each other off.
Zhu Shenxuan had a dark face and said nothing. He turned around and left. When he reached the door, he suddenly looked back, "I am not a cheating person. I am willing to admit defeat. The one hundred thousand taels of silver will be equal to the one hundred thousand taels that the factory owner borrowed yesterday." Two."
"Oh, if the prince doesn't mention this matter, our family will forget about it."
Chang Yu looked hypocritical: "But since the prince mentioned it, let's make it clear. What you owe is what you owe, and what you lose is what you lose. Furthermore, the one who owes you money is the court, but this loss is a loss to our family. These two You can’t mix food with food.”
"You..." Zhu Shenxuan was startled, and then snorted coldly: "That's fine, I have prepared it for you. You can send someone to get it at any time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, we will go pick it up after we finish our meal."
Chang Yu's face was full of excitement, and he could talk about money even if he didn't eat.
Zhu Shenxuan walked away angrily, Chang Yule's eyebrows were dancing with joy, and even the bowl of mutton soup became more fragrant, but Zhou Yuji kept looking at him secretly.
Finally, he couldn't help but said: "Mr. Factory, you really took that money."
"Why don't you accept what our family has earned based on their own abilities? Does Mr. Zhou regret not following along just now?" Chang Yu said with a smile.
Zhou Yuji shook his head gently: "I'm glad I didn't follow the bet, otherwise I would have lost everything now." He sighed and said, "Prince Jin has been cut off a lot by you in the past few days, it's quite painful."
This time it was Chang Yu's turn to sigh. He looked at Zhou Yuji and said, "Mr. Zhou, we are not talking about you. Your image is really limited by poverty. Princes, generals and ministers are not worth tens of millions. Throw away those fixed industries. Even the cash flow is not less than one million. For example, when King Fu's house was confiscated by the bandits, he only found three to four million in silver and jewelry.
This time our family got 500,000 shi of grain from Prince Jin's Mansion, which really touched his foundation, but the silver tael, hey, this is just scratching the surface for them.
Don’t think about it, Jiang Yu, the general of Datong, could confiscate 400,000 yuan from his house, let alone the majestic King Jin of the Ming Dynasty.
But in fact, Chaoyu was not the only one who copied Jiang Guan's family, but his military headquarters, his brothers, cousins, and his old father-in-law Han Lin. You must know that Han Lin was a wealthy businessman, otherwise Jiang Yun would not have been able to copy so much cash on his own.
Zhou Yuji smiled slightly: "You may be right, but look at King Jin's expression, he is really hurt."
Chang Yu laughed loudly: "Of course, after all, one hundred thousand taels does not fall from the sky."
After a while, the two of them ate in a hurry. Zhou Yuji was busy with military affairs, so he said hello to Chang Yu and left. As soon as his front foot fell out of the threshold, he saw Wu Mengming taking Tang Potian, Cheng Ming, Fan Jiaqian, Hu Ling, Li Tiezhu, etc. People came in a hurry.
"Master Wu, have you had dinner?"
Zhou Yuji hurriedly said hello.
"I've used it. Come to the factory to discuss something." Wu Mengming responded with a calm expression.
Zhou Yuji said knowingly: "You are busy."
After saying that, he left, and after walking for more than ten steps, he turned around and looked around, his eyes full of doubts. The commander of the royal guard was haunted all day long. What could he be thinking about with this posture?
"I've met the factory owner." Wu Mengming and others rushed to greet Chang Yu as soon as they came in.
"Hey, our family thought you were gone."
Chang Yu was startled when he saw him: "What's the matter? Come and have some rice, there's only soup base left."
"I've eaten my humble duty, and I'm ready to go," Wu Mengming said, licking his lips.
"Let's go as soon as you're ready. Time is running out." Chang Yu waved his hand, and then he was startled. He looked at the thousands of people in the Fan family and then at Wu Mengming: "It seems like it's not just a farewell, but something is going on."
Wu Mengming spread his hands and said: "Factory Master, you really can't make the decision in your own family affairs because of your humble position, so you should do it."
Chang Yu smiled slightly, looked at the thousands of people in the Fan family and said, "What's going on, tell me."
"Mr. Factory, we are tired of staying in the military camp. Let us go out and get some fresh air." Fan Jiaqian spoke first, and Li Tiezhu, Hu Ling and others also followed suit: "I heard Master Wu said that he would go out to do some business this time. Just let us go, we can't let Chunxiang and Jiang Quan take all the good things."
Chang Yu laughed loudly. Thousands of people from the Fan family have been in the military camp since they arrived in Taiyuan from Datong. Because there are salaries brought from Datong and more than 300,000 taels of black money he robbed from the Fan family in Jiexiu in the camp, they must have confidants. Guard.
But now, these confidants were feeling a little depressed. When Wu Mengming went to select people from the eunuch army, he had to have a leader, but all three of them wanted to go. Now he couldn't make the decision, so he came to Chang Yu to solve the problem. .
"Let's go to Tiezhu this time." Chang Yu thought for a while and made a decision: "There will be more work in the future, and we will take turns, and our families in the camp must be guarded and cannot be short of people. Hu Ling, you and your family If Qianruo finds it boring in the camp, he will take turns, one person will be on duty in the camp, and the other will patrol the city."
Several people had no objections and nodded in agreement. Wu Mengming whispered to Chang Yu for a while and then left.
"Old Wu"
Chang Yu called to Wu Mengming who had just reached the door.
"Bon voyage, this is the only way to get rich!"
Wu Mengming's face lit up, he nodded seriously, clasped his fists at Chang Yu and turned to leave.
After dinner, after taking a short rest, Chang Yu planned to go to the front line of Jiaocheng with Zhou Yuji. However, Zhou Yuji was busy with military affairs and had many things to explain before leaving, so he planned to take advantage of this gap to visit the military camp in the city.
The military camp was near Baoen Temple to the north of the palace, that is, close to the north of the city. Chang Yu and his party did not choose to go down to the city, but rode horses on the city.
When he walked to the southeast corner building, he found people in non-soldier uniforms coming in and out. Chang Yu dismounted and asked about it. It turned out that the southeast corner building was a place where firearms and gunpowder were stored. These people were military firearms craftsmen who were ordered to perform maintenance.
Chang Yu suddenly remembered that in history, before Zhang Xiong dedicated the city, he first burned the turret where firearms and gunpowder were stored, and then fell down the city with a rope to surrender.
He found a craftsman and asked carefully about the types and quantities of firearms stored in the armory. Chang Yu also explained some safety matters, and then called an attendant around him and asked him to summon people in the army and the city who were proficient in making firearms and gunpowder in the name of Dongchang. The craftsmen gathered at the military camp in the north of the city.
Chang Yu entered the military camp in the north of the city for the first time in three days in Taiyuan City.
The barracks were all the same, dirty and messy, but this barracks seemed a little empty because most of the troops were transferred to the front line of Jiaocheng.
But even so, in addition to the troops on duty in the city, there were still more than 10,000 troops in the military camp. Upon hearing Chang Yu's arrival, the camp immediately exploded.
Many soldiers have never met Chang Yu, but the name of the factory governor has long been known to the world. In addition to his previous notoriety, there is also the fact that as soon as the factory governor arrived in Taiyuan, he immediately settled the food arrears of the court for more than half a year and issued an order It was distributed directly to the soldiers and supervised by Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Fanzi to completely eliminate any deductions.
This incident alone made the soldiers have an inexplicable liking for the big devil of Dongchang.
When they met at this time, they discovered that seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. The legends are all just clouds. The old eunuch with a black face and a sinister look in the rumors was not seen. Instead, he found a young and handsome man, who always had a handsome face. A sunny and kind young man.
What surprised him even more was that this young and handsome factory supervisor had no airs at all. When inspecting the military camp, he always greeted some soldiers with a smile, and even put their arms around each other and called them brothers. This kind of non-mainstream behavior really made them Sweating profusely and feeling uneasy, Chang Yu's move was indeed shocking considering how strict this was in an era of class.
In a heavily guarded warehouse in the military camp, Chang Yu looked at dozens of silver carts with a smile on his face. He added the more than 300,000 he robbed from Jiexiu Fan's family and the 600,000 he borrowed and donated from the prince's palace. The King of Jin lost his one hundred thousand li in a bet, and now he had one million taels of silver in his hand, of which 400,000 liang belonged to his private money.
I have prepared both salary and reward. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will depend on your performance. Fighting means throwing money away. Chang Yu decided to use money to throw away Li Zicheng this time.
Seeing the smile on Chang Yu's lips, the soldiers surrounding him were all elated. Of course, the only ones who could be in the warehouse here were the Jinyi Guards, Fujun Guards, Tengxiang Guards and eunuch troops he brought from the capital. These people are thousands of miles away from him. At this point, Feng Dian had suffered a lot while sleeping in the open, but everyone felt that it was worth it, and it was super worth it.
When I was in the palace, I heard that this young eunuch who was not yet the factory supervisor was generous, even though he promised to be rich and prosperous during his trip when he left the city.
But no one had ever thought that there was so much money and money. The least one received twenty taels of silver reward, not to mention those who followed Chang Yu on the mission and the highest ones were said to have received two hundred and fifty taels. It is simply not too impressive.
You know, you have to earn so many taels of silver a year in the capital, and you are always owed money, but now you are traveling with the factory supervisor, you are not getting a high salary and enough fuel, but you are still paying cash.
Chang Yu was generous and never put on airs. These soldiers had a great impression of him as a young factory supervisor. They were willing to work for Chang Yu regardless of interests or responsibilities. So much so that when Wu Mengming came over just now to say that he had a mission, Everyone was enthusiastic, and some even started fighting to compete for places.
"Brothers, have you seen this money?" Chang Yu pointed at the silver cart, "This does not belong to one of our family. As long as any of you have the ability or ability, come and share it. Come and get it."
"Mr. Factory, what does it mean to be capable?"
The money and silk moved people's hearts, and immediately some soldiers were ready to make a move and asked.
"The ability to kill thieves! If you dare to go into battle to kill thieves, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver for each person you kill! Do you have the courage to go to the battlefield with my family!" Chang Yu glanced around with a provocative smile on his lips.
"Why don't you dare! I am willing to follow the factory boss to kill the thieves and take the heads of thieves..." Immediately, soldiers around him started shouting. Once the atmosphere became heated, people's minds would not be calm, and the booing became more and more loud.
Chang Yu stayed in the military camp for a while. Seeing whether the military craftsmen he had summoned would arrive soon, he decided to take Chunxiang and other entourage to the refugee camp to have a look.
