After Ma Cheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room immediately became cold. Jin Chun didn't know what Ma Cheng wanted to do, but Zhang Guozhu, who was sitting beside Ma Cheng knew that Ma Cheng was trying to hit Jin Chun. If Ma Cheng really wanted to deal with the poor people like Jin Chun, then he would not bring two hundred personal soldiers, but tens of thousands of new troops.

Zhang Guozhu has received a lot of Jin Chun's filial piety this year, and has tens of thousands of taels of silver. Now, Zhang Guozhu naturally has to speak out to ease the atmosphere.

"Jin Chun, do you still want to give me a favor after committing a crime of rebellion? But my grandmaster has a good life. As long as you can repent and be loyal to my grandmaster from now on, you can naturally protect you from harassment by local officials!"

Although Jin Chun was timid in front of Ma Cheng, he was a glorious gangster in Shandong. He didn't understand what Ma Cheng and Zhang Guozhu meant, but he wanted to get more benefits from himself. But Jin Chun had no choice. He left his hometown and took thousands of brothers from Shandong to Nanzhili to make a living. He originally thought that the grain gang members in Nanzhili could help them, but then he thought that their colleagues were enemies, and the master gangs were even more cruel to them than the government.

In order to survive, Jin Chun had to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but then he knew that the Qing Dynasty had been over and existed in Nanzhili for less than a year. Now, Jin Chun became a rat crossing the street and everyone shouted to beat him.

Jin Chun, who has been living in society for many years, knows that poor do not fight against the rich, the people do not fight against the officials, and that the country's violent machine is in the hands of Ma Cheng, and it is definitely not something that Jin Chun, a gang leader, can fight against.

"The young man is willing to offer 30,000 taels of silver. Please accept it with a smile!"

Jin Chun brought a lot of money from Shandong, but in recent years, he spent almost the same amount in order to open up the situation in Nanzhili. The 30,000 taels are the last asset.

Jin Chun had already had his pockets, but Ma Cheng stopped expressing his opinion, but smiled and said, "I am hungry. Jin Chun, aren't you invited me to have a meal? Let's start the meal!"

When Jin Chun heard Ma Cheng say this, he had no choice but to get up and start a meal. The dinner was set in the garden of Jin Chun's back house. In February, the spring breeze was filled with flowers. Seeing the garden gradually green and eating the delicacies prepared by Jin Chun, it was really a unique flavor.

Jin Chun is from Shandong, and the chef at home is also from Shandong. The banquet prepared today is naturally Shandong cuisine. Although China had not yet formed eight major cuisines in the late Ming Dynasty, the oldest Shandong cuisine has been developed and there is basically no difference from later generations.

Ma Cheng is from the north. Although the Jiangnan cuisine is fine, there is a friendly place for Shandong cuisine? So when I saw the table full of hometown dishes, Ma Cheng was really excited about his index finger.

Ma Cheng was honest and unceremonious. He stood up and brought a plate of sea cucumbers with scallions, shook off the whirlwind chopsticks, opened his noodles and started chewing his mouth. He saw that the Jin family members who were serving him were looking at him.

Although Jin Chun was born in the Grain Gang, the Jin family has been rich for several generations and has long developed a noble atmosphere. On the other hand, although Ma Cheng was born in the Ma family of the Great Aristocratic Ma family, this starving ghost looks almost the same as the refugees who had been hungry outside Zhenjiang City for half a month.

In fact, we can't blame Ma Cheng for being unpromising. In the Ming Dynasty, two meals were generally eaten, with breakfast at around 9 am and dinner at around 3 pm. However, there were three meals in Ma Cheng's army, breakfast at around 6 pm, lunch at 12 noon, and dinner at 6 pm.

Ma Cheng had some breakfast in the morning and was busy all morning. Just as he was about to have lunch, Zhang Guozhu came to find him for dinner. In addition, he had been walking from the military camp to Donghu Village for more than an hour. It was already over 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Ma Cheng, who had not eaten for a day, was hungry and put on his back. He saw the familiar food where he could control his living.

Ma Cheng ate all the onion and roasted sea and participated in the two dishes of braised pork trotters. He only had some bottom in his belly. He picked up the wine glass and drank a sip of wine and asked, "Jin Chun, why didn't the opera troupe be arranged?"

Today I am talking about arranging Ma Cheng for dinner, but Jin Chun's identity dares to sit beside Ma Cheng as a companion? So now only Ma Cheng and Zhang Guozhu are sitting on the table. Jin Chun, an old man in his fifties, can only stand beside Ma Cheng with a wine pot and pour wine for Ma Cheng at any time.

Now that Ma Cheng asked why there was no opera troupe, Jin Chun quickly replied: "Of course there is this! Please let the general later!" After that, Jin Chun waved to his family. After a while, several people in costumes came to the garden and began to perform a show for Ma Cheng.

Today, Jin Chun prepared a scene for Ma Cheng with the legend of the White Snake and borrowing an umbrella in the lake. The actors of Xu Xian and Xiao Qing look average, but the actors of Bai Snake look good. This blue-clothed body is 1.7 meters tall, with a graceful figure and a crisp voice, which makes Ma Cheng's eyes lit up.

Due to nutritional problems, women in the Ming Dynasty were generally around 1.5 meters tall. Like Ma Cheng's wife Gu Miaoyin and Gu Xiying, it was rare to have a height of 1.7 meters tall. Ma Cheng came from later generations and liked women to be strong and upright. The beautiful women in the Ming Dynasty who were Daiyu style could not accept it.

In addition to the height of the blue-clothed person in front of him, the more important thing is that his figure is his good shape. Ma Cheng's wife Gu Miaoyin and Gu Xiying are tall enough, but these two women practice martial arts all year round, and Gu Miaoyin can even slap a table with one palm. Don't think about any figure like this kind of woman. Every time Ma Cheng and Gu Miaoyin are dumbfounded, Ma Cheng is a little scared to go to bed with Gu Miaoyin now.

But the blue-clothed man in front of him is different. In addition to his height, his figure is graceful and his every move is full of the tenderness of a woman. Ma Cheng really likes the more he sees it.

Jin Chun stood beside Ma Cheng and saw Ma Cheng smiling and lewd expression, he knew which Qingyi this guy was interested in. However, this was the purpose of Jin Chun's arrangement for Qingyi to go to the stage today. This Qingyi was purchased from Suzhou for a large price, in order to make friends with Ma Cheng, a hungry ghost.

"General, this Qingyi was specially prepared for the general by the old man. The stage name is Chang Suqing!"

Ma Cheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Wonderful! Chang Suqing and Bai Suzhen are so wonderful!"

After saying that, Ma Cheng turned around and said to Jin Chun, "Jin Chun, it's rare that you have this filial piety. Zhang Guozhu said that you have to carry the army's rations. This supervisor can promise you to purchase them at the official price, but you must ensure the quality of the grain and do not use any silt and sand grain perfunctory to me. If this supervisor is not satisfied, you know the consequences!"

Jin Chun was very happy to hear Ma Cheng say this. He used the official price to purchase grain in various places in Nanzhili under the name of Ma Cheng's commander in Jiangnan. You should know that the war is now in chaos, and the price of grain is very expensive. A stone of rice has increased to five taels of silver, but the official price is still one tael of five cents, which is several times the huge profit.

Jin Chun knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying: "

Please rest assured, even if the villain eats the courage of the leopard, he will not dare to harm the general's army! The villain promises that the military rations supplied to the general are the best new grain!"

Ma Cheng nodded: "Okay, get up. Lao Jin, do you have a son?"

Jin Chun didn't know what Ma Cheng meant, so hesitated to look at Zhang Guozhu. After seeing Zhang Guozhu nodding, he said: "The villain has two dog sons, the eldest son Jinmao, who is dealing with the affairs of the Grain Gang. The youngest son Jin Sheng, who is just twelve years old, is studying and studying."

It seems that these boatmen don’t want their descendants to have such food for the rest of their lives. Ma Cheng nodded and said, “Okay, I am in a good mood today. I will give you the honorary position of a Jinyiwei Qianhuo, the Jinyiwei Qianhu!"

The Jinyiwei Qianhu is a fifth-rank official and can be considered an intermediate officer. Ma Cheng can appoint military officers below the second-rank, and the general can be appointed at any time. Not to mention such a small Qianhu.

Ma Cheng said casually, but Jin Chun was overjoyed. Jin Chun, who had more than one family, didn't care much, but the name of this Jinyiwei was too scary. The spies in the Ming Dynasty were rampant, and the highest-ranking one was Dongchang, but the Dongchang family was the emperor's confidant, and even if they wanted to make friends with him, they would look down on him.

But the Jinyiwei is different. The Jinyiwei and the East Factory have different responsibilities. The East Factory mainly focuses on officials, but the Jinyiwei must take into account both officials and the people, so the reputation of the Jinyiwei in the folk is even worse than that of the East Factory.

Jin Chun was originally a tycoon leader from Linqing, Shandong. He was used to seeing the Jinyiwei's swaying swaying on the canal. Every time Jinyiwei crossed the border, Jin Chun and other underworld people would greet each other with a smile, and they would also give valuable money before leaving. Therefore, Jin Chun was really envious and afraid of the three words Jinyiwei.

But now it’s different. Jin Chun’s son has become a family of Jin Yiwei. Isn’t he a family with Jin Yiwei? Thinking that his family can also be like Jin Yiwei in the future, Jin Chun really feels that he has ended his hardships and has been happy.

In fact, Jin Chun is a local old hat, and I don’t know what Ma Cheng meant. There were many rules in the officialdom in the Ming Dynasty, and the various officials’ names and functions were different. This position is similar to the chief clerk and deputy chief clerk in later generations, and is an official with a position but no power.

Even if Ma Cheng was doing his own thing, he would not be able to give a boatman a real position of a fifth-rank thousand household. However, giving him a thousand households a great position would have given Jin Chun a face. If Ma Cheng had not wanted to buy Jin Chun to work hard for him, it would not have been possible for him to have a meal at Jin Chun's house.

Ma Cheng just wanted to bribe Jin Chun as a thug and deal with the Donglin Party of Nanzhili in the future, but Jin Chun didn't think so. Seeing Ma Cheng valued him so much, he thought further in his heart. His Jin family had been a boatman on the canal for more than 100 years. If he operated properly, he would be likely to jump into the dragon gate to change his identity.

"The villain thanked the general for his reward. The villain also asked the general for another thing, but I wonder if it should be said or not?"

Ma Cheng was in a good mood now. Looking at the little beauty who was performing, he asked, "Tell me, as long as it is not a difficult task, I can satisfy you."

"General, the villain has a daughter who has just passed away in her 28 years old and is so embarrassed that she wants to send her to the general's pillow to serve the general's daily life!"
