Chapter 61 Slaughter
After Feng Youcai made a statement, everyone also made a decision. When Zhang Yuan came later, he still said that he would have no food.
After making up his mind, everyone relaxed. Cao Yin, who slandered the empress last time, glanced at the empty table and said with some dissatisfaction: "This marquis is too stingy. Last time I made some food. This time, not only did I have no food, but I couldn't even give me some snacks."
"It's not that I won't prepare snacks for you. I'm afraid that you won't eat them even after you prepare."
Just as Cao Yin was complaining, Zhang Yuan, wearing a casual outfit, just brought someone in. He looked at Cao Yin and said meaningfully, "It will be bad if it is wasted at that time."
"Marty, I don't mean that."
Cao Yin, who was complaining behind his back, suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "It's just that Cao got up a little late and had not had time to have breakfast. He was a little hungry at this time, so he said nothing, and I hope the marquis forgives the crime."
"It's okay, I want to eat when I'm hungry. This is my nature, so what's the point of blaming me?"
Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "It's just that snacks, I'm really not ready, so the head of the Cao family may have to be hungry for a while."
"It's okay, it's okay." Cao Yin said with a wry smile: "Cao is fat and it's not a big deal to have a hungry meal."
"Don't worry, the head of the Cao family is not going to be too busy today."
Zhang Yuan looked at Cao Yin and said in a pun: "It will be solved soon."
After saying that, Zhang Yuan didn't care about him and walked straight to the front, then turned around and said to these people: "Everyone, I believe you have received the news."
"The court allocated four million taels of military pay to me, and it will be delivered soon."
"But because the national treasury had no food, 50,000 stones were allocated, which was far from enough for the 30,000 troops defending the city."
Zhang Yuan came with a murderous intention this time, so he didn't go around in circles and said straight to the point: "So, I want to buy some food and grass from you. I wonder what you think?"
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, the scene was silent and no one talked to him.
According to the general situation, when no one responded, Zhang Yuan should have called a few people to ask, but he did not ask this time, but continued to say directly: "I am not unfair to you. I am willing to buy the food and grass in your hands at a price of 50% higher than the market price. What do you think?"
After the words came to an end, there was still silence in the venue, and no one was willing to speak.
"Why, you don't want to sell the price 50% higher than the market price? How much do you want to sell?"
Zhang Yuan's face suddenly sank, and he looked at the people in the field and said coldly: "Do you really want to wait for the army to cut off food and let this army rob the food?"
"The Marquis is so serious."
After hearing Zhang Yuan say this, Feng You had to answer: "It's not that I don't want to sell the food to Mr. Hou, but that there's really no surplus food at home."
"Since the court has already had money at this time, it should not be a problem to purchase military rations. We are willing to jointly submit a memorial to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to allocate some food and grass to Xunzhou."
Feng Youcai said very beautifully. As for what Zhang Yuan said just now, he didn't care about the matter of robbing the soldiers and robbing the soldiers and robbing the soldiers and robbing the soldiers and robbing the soldiers.
Many bigwigs in the court were incompatible with Zhang Yuan, an old thing. If Zhang Yuan really robbed the grain, then Zhang Yuan would undoubtedly send the handle to those people himself.
At that time, the grain that Feng Youcai was stolen was nothing. It would be enough for him to make a fortune by asking the big men of the court.
"No surplus grain, so no surplus grain."
Feng Youcai, who was answering Zhang Yuan, said lightly: "Feng's head, as far as I know, there are thousands of hectares of fertile land in Xunzhou alone by your Feng clan."
"I don't think too much about you. Even if you have one thousand hectares of fertile land in Feng's family, you can harvest at least 300,000 stones of grain every year."
"And even if you are a member of Feng's family, the population is only 1,000. Come and tell me where the food you collected from the field has gone?"
After hearing Zhang Yuan say this, Feng Youcai's face suddenly changed. He stood up and looked at Zhang Yuan with a gloomy face, saying, "Mr. Marquis, I don't understand what you said."
"I have some property in my family, but I don't even have a thousand acres, let alone a thousand acres."
"What exactly do you want to do if your marquis slander me so much?"
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and said sternly: "Then I will say it again. Now that the army is short of food, I am willing to buy it at a price of 50% higher than the market price."
"Are you selling it or not?"
“So what if we don’t sell it?”
Feng Youcai, who knew that Zhang Yuan was secretly investigating him, said without any concession: "Does the Marquis dare to kill..."
"Puchi..."
Before Feng Youcai finished speaking, a soldier standing next to him stabbed his knife into his back heart, and blood suddenly splashed out.
This sudden change instantly shocked everyone in the field.
President Zhu, who was closest to Feng Youcai, was splashed with blood on his face. He subconsciously reached out and wiped it. When he saw the bright redness on his hand, he shouted in surprise: "I'm murdering!!!"
"Zhang Yuan, you actually killed Mr. Feng. Can you rebel?"
"Invade the domestic products and store grains in wartime, this is a traitor. So what if this man killed me?"
Zhang Yuan glanced at President Zhu, then waved his hand slightly, "It's all traitors, kill them all!"
"Zhang Yuan is going to rebel, run away!"
President Zhu was shocked when he heard Zhang Yuan, but as a chairman of the chamber of commerce who often ran around, he was not the master of the aristocratic family who was powerless.
He shook his hand suddenly and hit the two iron galls in his hand towards Zhang Yuan, then turned around and ran out without looking back.
"A little trick to carving insects."
Looking at the two iron gills flying towards him, Zhang Yuan was too lazy to hide.
"Puff~puff~"
Two iron galls, with the sound of breaking the wind, hit Zhang Yuan's body as if they were hit on cowhide. After two muffled sounds, they fell to the ground and failed to cause any damage to Zhang Yuan.
President Zhu had just run two steps and was caught up by a soldier. The soldier directly swung his sword at President Zhu's back heart.
As a result, President Zhu showed that he was not only agility that was very inconsistent with his body shape, but just turned around and avoided this fatal blow.
As President Zhu, who was in the late stage of Qihai, he didn't take the ordinary soldier behind him seriously. If he hadn't escaped from the yard as soon as possible, he would have turned around and pinched the soldier behind him to death.
The soldier who lost his sword was a little surprised, but then he became a little annoyed, "I can hide from him by a fat man!"
The soldier swung his sword again, and President Zhu still used the same trick again, trying to avoid this sword. As soon as he twisted, the knife that followed him immediately changed and stabbed directly into his back.
"Fatty, you hide again!"
President Zhu, who was stabbed into the back of his heart by a knife, had only one thought in his mind before he died.
"Refining essence and body practice..."
President Zhu was right. These soldiers were Zhang Yuan’s personal guards, and everyone was above the essence refining realm.
