Chapter 96 Redemption Fees

Although all the generals present were very dissatisfied with Mrs. Xing's decision, and Mrs. Xing was just a woman after all, no one dared to contradict Mrs. Xing at this moment.

She was not only Gao Jie's main wife, but also Li Zicheng's wife. She started a big fight with all the words and founded this army with Gao Jie. Although she has been compromised to take care of the overall situation over the years, this does not mean that Mrs. Xing has always been merciful.

Now Mrs. Xing is forced to stop. Killing Xu Dingguo is just an appetizer for her. Next, she is forced to stop even if the emperor is killed. Therefore, everyone wisely chose not to speak. However, Qian Weikun said openly: "We will all follow Mrs. Xing's arrangement!"

Mrs. Xing was still holding a sword in one hand and holding a head in the other. She asked Yuan Shu to Daliang Bingbei on the side: "Yuan Daotai, how much can you Suizhou redeem the city redemption fee?"

Yuan Shu can be said to be the most nervous person in the whole audience. He is not only a native of Suizhou but also the largest wealthy family in Suizhou. Daliang's military guards opened their homes in Suizhou, while Gao Jie and 300 family members died and injured in Yuan's homes. In addition to the two or three hundred people who were killed and injured in the city overnight yesterday, Yuan Shu knew that he was definitely messing up the matter.

In this way, a massacre of the city will definitely be inevitable. He doesn't know how to save the situation. As the number one gentry in Suizhou, he must take responsibility in this regard, so he was naturally overjoyed when he heard Mrs. Xing's question: "Mrs. Xing, it's okay to redeem the city silver. As long as you offer a price, I will go to raise the price immediately. I will try my best to do everything possible. If I can't raise it, I will give you a blank note!"

Yuan Shu naturally had the confidence to say this. His father was Yuan Keli, who had served as the governor of Denglai and the Minister of War in Nanjing. After several generations, half of Suizhou City was managed by the Yuan family's property, and he was even called "Three-generation Sima". As long as Suizhou City could be protected, the losses in money would be no problem.

But Li Benshen suddenly spoke, "Mr. Yuan, brothers are waiting for you to have fun after opening the city. What's wrong with you taking a bunch of white sticks!"

This is what Yuan Shu is most afraid of. Gao Jie's troops were mostly thieves and were completely undisciplined. When Gao Jie was alive, he could barely control these military officers. Now Gao Jie has died in a bad life. These soldiers are naturally lawless and want to slaughter the city and then enjoy it.

Guo Hu also caused trouble for Mrs. Xing: "Yes, it's enough for real money. In recent years, the court's wages are not worth hundreds of thousands of taels, but hundreds of thousands of taels. Tens of thousands of brothers are waiting for the rice to be served!"

Mrs. Xing interrupted Guo Hu's accusation coldly, and she asked Liu Yongxi: "Zhengyi Bo, what do you think do you do about this redemption fee?"

Liu Yongxi knew that Gao Jie's army had already fired, and that tens of thousands of officers and soldiers under the city were waiting for a good harvest after opening the city. Naturally, he could not do it recklessly: "This is true. You can't make white slips on the city redemption expenses. There must be real money and silver, no real money and silver, jewelry and jade ornaments, shops and houses. Even if it is not good, you still need some pigs, cows, chickens and ducks, white rice and white flour, right?"
