Chapter 21: Cointreau's Killing the Chicken as an Example
After hearing Bai Mo's personal statement, Li Jundu could be sure that the uncle who snatched his woman from was his uncle Zeng Huaiyu. Li Jundu was extremely impressed by his uncle's family. In his early years, his grandfather's family was poisoned by thieves in his hometown. His children, Li Jundu's mother and uncles were sent to his great-grandfather Zeng Ying to raise him and met his father Li Mingxun in Dengzhou.
Later, because Qian Ming asked Zeng Ying to offend Zeng Ying, Zeng Ying entrusted her family to Li Mingxun and brought her to the base camp. When Hongguang destroyed Longwu's first rise, Zeng Ying became a Grand Secretary in the Longwu Dynasty, took away Zeng Huaiyu's brothers and others, and then Longwu married the United Kingdom and had Li Junde. However, after Longwu's destruction, Zeng Ying did not join the Yongli Dynasty, but became an envoy to the United Kingdom in the base camp. Until her death, Zeng Huaiyu and others became the nationality of the United Kingdom and broke off contact with Qian Ming, but Zeng Huaiyu, the uncle of the country, was real.
Of course, Li Jundu not only had one uncle, but the rest had achieved success. He either joined the army as a general, became a political official, or developed all directions. He would never insult the Zeng family's face. He was a eldest uncle who was only interested in gold and silver, and had been managing his own business in the base camp. It seemed that with the brigade of the General Administration of the General Administration, he began to swallow up the industries in the district like domestic merchants.
On the second day, Li Jundu comforted Bai Mo before leaving. When he arrived at the main road, he saw that there were lineups everywhere on the commercial streets. He looked at them carefully and mostly rice shops. Li Jundu was puzzled. When he went to Huizhou to suppress the thieves, he did not see such a situation. Why did he have arrived in such a field now?
Parked next to a rice shop, Li Jundu asked the woman who bought rice casually: "Auntie, what is the price of rice today? I saw that the queue in the rice shop next to me seemed to be shorter, why do you have to queue here?"
"Oh, one stone is one or seven cents per ounce. The price has risen four times this month. It has never been seen since the restoration. There is not much rice in other stores, and it is useless to queue up. However, the owner of this family is Zeng, and he is the uncle of the new dynasty, and he is always the last one to sell out." The woman said unhappily.
Before the revival of Jiangnan, the rice price was more than 2 taels per stone. After the revival, with the arrival of a large number of overseas grain ships, the price was stable at around 1 taels and 2 cents, but that was the price during the Chinese New Year. Now summer grain has just been on the market, and it should be local grain production and overseas grain entry, and the rice price should be less than one taels, why is it so expensive?
Li Junduo rode his horse to the office. Of course, with the arrival of the General Administration Office led by Ma Donglai, the military control state was lifted and it had become the General Administration Office. Seeing Li Junduo's aggressive momentum, the adjutant quickly stopped him: "Young Master, you can't do anything wrong with the General Administration Office anymore. This is not the military control office, and what you said doesn't count."
"Hmph, let the people from the Military Control Commission investigate what's wrong with it!" Li Jundu said angrily, and then saw a secretary in the office running to greet him with a smile. Li Jundu shook his whip and said, "Tell you Chief Ma, I won't go to the banquet he arranged. I want to see how many monsters and monsters have come to Jiangnan!"
After saying that, he rode his horse away and went back to his residence, leaving behind a crowd of surprised people all over the place.
In less than two or three hours, the military control committee arrived and handed over the report. Only then did Li Jundu realize that the prices of civilian resources such as rice, grain and cloth were soaring. The reason was very simple. With the arrival of the General Administration, not only were the officials of the base camp, but also the capitalists of the base camp. They quickly purchased warehouses in Jiangnan and joined forces with shipping companies, not only restricting the arrival of Nanyang rice, base camp machine-spun cotton and other items, but also purchased a large amount of summer grain and cotton locally, resulting in soaring prices.
"The father and his father had already expected the faces of those greedy guys. There should be plans for this situation!" Li Jundu said angrily.
The people from the Military Control Commission sighed: "Yes, in the face of this situation, state-owned enterprises should come forward to calm prices, but the fact is that due to disaster relief and military supplies, state-owned enterprises and the army have already sold the materials stored in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in spring. With the relocation of the General Administration, a group of people rented the ships from Jiangnan to the base camp as early as March and April through their relationship with state-owned shipping companies. Now the base camp, Luzon, Kowloon and other places store a large amount of summer grain. Even if there is no ship to transport them, Chief Ma also knows this, but he can't afford to offend those people, and there is no way."
"Fuck, he can't afford to offend him? He doesn't want to offend him!" Li Jundu cursed.
Li Jundu stood up, walked around the room twice, and laughed: "Haha, let's play this trick with me, and see whoever has played with whom. No matter how rich you are, you can't beat those with power."
"You are..." The faces of the Military Control Commission changed.
Li Jundu ordered: "First, suspend the handover between the Military Control Commission and the General Administration, clarify the scope of military control, and immediately find out the location of the hoarded materials, and dispatch the troops and horses. After three days, we will seal them together. I cannot control the big cities managed by the General Administration. The Jiangnan Military Control District can be under my rule. Humph, according to the Military Control Regulation, all materials that deliberately hoard and raise prices will be confiscated!
The port was ordered to submit the location of all state-owned ships in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and immediately dispatch the military control committee to directly requisition and requisition state-owned ships. There is no need to discuss with anyone in advance. In addition, the naval ships and transport ships affiliated to the Southeast War Zone were gathered and all went to the base camp to transport grain and cloth.
Finally, I secretly investigate who made such national disasters, especially those who rented state-owned ships in advance, arrested them first. I can't deal with the people behind them. I think my father doesn't want to deal with them at this time, but it's still possible to break their minions one by one."
"Big Young Master, my uncle is here." The housekeeper walked in and said to Li Jundu. Li Jundu smiled coldly. Unexpectedly, his uncle came to the door so soon. Li Jundu nodded and agreed.
As he said that, Li Jundu grabbed the collars of the two military control committees and said, "I know that there are people in the military control committees who are not clean, but this time, if anyone leaks the secrets in advance, I guarantee that no one can escape punishment. Go and do it."
The two of them blushed, nodded slightly, and then left.
"Oh, my eldest nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time. I've grown so tall. Come quickly and let my uncle see you." As soon as Zeng Huaiyu entered the door, he greeted Li Jundu warmly.
"Uncle, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, please have some with me." Li Jundu smiled and signaled Zeng Huaiyu to go to the restaurant.
Zeng Huaiyu nodded: "That's right, that's right, the Li family's food has always been delicious. I have come here several times, and you are on the front line, and today I have to have a good time."
The housekeeper hurriedly asked in: "Please, uncle."
Zeng Huaiyu walked in with a smile, Li Jundu's face turned cold. Even the people around him called Zeng Huaiyu this. It seemed that this was not a trivial matter.
Before the food was served, Zeng Huaiyu pretended to be angry and said, "I said, the people from the Military Control Commission below are too stubborn. Originally, I bought tens of thousands of acres of land in Nanjing and Zhenjiang. As a result, your father ordered a grand order in Shaanxi, which doesn't count. Good guys, they all took them back and took them away. Anyway, they didn't target my family, but the principal was not refunded. Originally, I said hello to the General Administration and the General Administration, and left me 30,000 acres. As a result, your Military Control Commission and the Purge Committee did not approve it, saying that you had to speak. No, my uncle asked you to come to you."
"Say hello, who do you say hello to? The people in the State-owned Assets Department of the General Administration are all iron roosters." Li Jundu asked with a smile.
Zeng Huaiyu said disdainfully: "Why don't I talk nonsense to those difficult little guys? Just just say it to Ma Dong. A few years ago, he has been pioneering in Australia. His family's industry in the base camp has expanded year by year. Without me, can he have this value?"
Li Jundu secretly recorded the incident and said, "Although my father issued an order, before that, the law also clearly stipulated that you openly trade land and real estate with traitors, which is illegal."
Zeng Huaiyu smiled and said, "Of course I know this, but who doesn't know it, but how many of the veterans and congressmen in the base camp have not been involved in it? Just use some agents, but the principal will not be refunded, and everyone thinks they are unlucky. Speaking of this, I want to ask for something. The boys who did my business have been secretly working for our family for several years and have feelings for them. But if you are taken by your gendarmerie, you can do it. If you let it go, it's not easy for those who are used to it, it's not easy for you to let go."
"Uncle treats me as Guanyin Bodhisattva in this matter, and you can do things with a wish." Li Junduo said while eating.
Zeng Huaiyu still didn't realize that something was wrong and said in surprise: "Good, my eldest nephew is at this level, so I have to handle some things if I use my subordinates? Forget it, let's say a word, uncle is easy to say. When you go to school, didn't my uncle secretly give you pocket money? Isn't your father and mother knowing it, that's it."
"My uncle misunderstood my words. I mean, the national law is ruthless, and it cannot be done by me in one word." Li Jundu simply opened his mouth.
At this time, Zeng Huaiyu understood no matter how stupid he was. He threw the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Don't pretend to be selfless to me, don't talk about you. I was confused at the base camp back then, and your father didn't even go into it. You little guy, you dare to be with your uncle..."
"That's because my father owes his mother and doesn't want her to worry about you anymore. He forgives you!" Li Jundu slapped the table with a palm and reminded loudly!
"Then your father is also a person with a human heart, so he is not as stupid as you! Don't forget that when you were in school, you were bullied. Your mother ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name, no matter what the common things are, who cried and asked her to take revenge on her cousin. Your cousin was just making trouble for you and suffered for you. If I hadn't handled it up and down, you would have hurt your cousin. Your horseman is not good and you don't want people to know. It was your uncle who searched all the base camp and secretly found you the equestrian teacher for you to learn. Okay, now that you have grown up and have power and soldiers in your hands, you don't have to worry about your old love..." Zeng Huaiyu stood up and shouted cursingly.
The housekeeper couldn't stand it and quickly advised: "Uncle Guo, uncle Guo, be careful of your words, and dare to say that the head of state and Mrs. Zeng are not bad. Oh, if outsiders listen, it will be great. Let's calm down quickly and don't say anything more."
Li Jundu kicked the housekeeper to the ground and scolded, "You stupid thing, there is no emperor yet. Where did you come from the bullshit uncle, a bastard, which damn thing made you call this? Are you allude to your father?"
Zeng Huaiyu felt even more humiliated when he saw Li Jundu like this, and his beard stood up in anger: "Okay, are you hitting him to show me. Who doesn't know that your father is going to be the emperor? He becomes the emperor. I am the serious uncle."
Li Junduo glared at him and warned: "That's also after his father becomes emperor. If you dare to indulge others to call you uncle in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless. My father's reputation cannot be ruined by people like you."
"Okay, I'm really hard-working. I dare to challenge me. Come on, let's go. The eldest son of the Li family is going to draw his sword. If you don't leave, I'm afraid it's okay if I kill you. Where will you go? Let's go!" Zeng Huaiyu jumped and shouted.
The restaurant door was pushed open, but four military policemen came in. They pushed Zeng Huaiyu to their seats, took food, put down paper and pen, and stood aside. Li Jundu said: "Uncle, don't panic, it's better to explain the matter of making money in the national crisis. How did you instruct others to buy traitors at a low price? Whose way did you go to privately release criminals, hoard supplies, and raise prices? How do you participate in it? Let's do it all."
Zeng Huaiyu looked around, and the military police stood solemnly, holding shackles in his hands. He immediately knew it was not a joke and asked, "You...what are you doing?"
"I want to say that the law is sarcastic, I enforce the law impartially, you must sneer. Well... let's say that, uncle, I'm going to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and you are that chicken!
My uncle said it right. My father is always weaker to his own people. So even if he discovered embezzlement of state-owned assets in Shaanxi, he arrested a few minions under the King of Jin and issued orders to various places. In fact, he knew that those people could have veterans and members of the parliament, but a decree could not shock the greed. If you want to show your determination, you have to actually handle a few powerful people. To be honest, uncle, veterans and members of the parliament, I can't do either, but you and I can, the head of the United States, Li Mingxun and his eldest son Li Jundu, took care of their relatives. This alarm bell can be remembered by everyone. Who made you the national uncle, the national uncle who had been favored by his father?" Li Jundu said lightly.
"You... are you worthy of your mother for doing this?" Zeng Huaiyu asked.
"Although my mother has been vegetarian and chanting Buddha's name for many years and never cared about things outside, she is very supportive of her father's career. Is her uncle's actions worthy of her mother?" Li Jundu asked. He walked to Zeng Huaiyu, served a cup of tea, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, write that no matter what sin you committed, you will not be beheaded for your father and mother."
After saying that, Li Jundu left the restaurant. Seeing him like this, the adjutant asked, "Young Master, if you do this, you will offend many people."
Li Jundu said: "I received the news that my father had ordered me to go to restore Huguang and march into Bashu."
"This is a good thing!" the adjutant said in surprise.
Li Jundu smiled: "But the troops were replaced by the Beiyang War Zone troops such as the Zhongzhen Army, and the cooperation was the security brigade incorporated in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
