    At that time, the family only had a few hundred acres of farmland left, but there were severe droughts and locusts year after year, resulting in no harvest.  At least the grain collected was not enough to pay the taxes and the tenants' wages.  Chen Shouye sold all these fields in a rage.  With the reputation of being a prodigal son, he followed the cavalry to the outside of the Great Wall, despite more than ten years of wind and rain.  Before he was forty years old, he had already repurchased ten thousand acres of fertile land, all of which were close to the river.  There are more than a dozen shops in various places.  He even controls a huge cavalry and monopolizes business dealings with several Mongolian tribes.  Now, he is not yet fifty years old, and he cannot afford to fall ill due to the constant wind and frost outside the Great Wall, as well as the injuries he suffered in his early years.  The game is almost over!  In his groggy dream, he dreamed that when he was a boy, he followed the cavalry out of the country and encountered a heavy snowstorm.  In that huge early snowstorm, the entire cavalry was almost wiped out.  At that time, Chen Shouye was hiding behind a big rock, constantly praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky Chen Shouye could no longer tell the difference between reality and memory.  But at this time, the blizzard that was flying all over the sky and making the world feel sleepy suddenly stopped.  A golden beam of light shot down and enveloped Chen Shouye's body, making his almost frozen body warm and very comfortable.  "I am the Great Ghost Emperor!" Then Chen Shouye suddenly woke up and sat up suddenly.  Only then did he realize that it was just a dream.  However, he was surprised to find out.  He sat up by himself!  The body that had gradually lost consciousness now recovered.  Before Chen Shouye had time to shout, he saw the door being pushed open.  He has a lot of wives, big and small.  Sons and daughters all rushed up: "Master" "Dad" "How did you get better? We just saw a golden light in the house outside and thought it was on fire" Today's Ghost Emperor's Palace is particularly lively.  , carriages and sedan chairs one after another, the place is almost full.  These are all prominent and wealthy people in Guanzhong Although Guanzhong is dilapidated, it is not as rich as other places.  But there are not necessarily fewer wealthy people in Guanzhong than in other places.  Chen Shouye jumped off a horse.  Greet people casually.  He has a good reputation and is familiar with people.  You can meet acquaintances wherever you go, and see him one by one.  It was as if they had seen a ghost.  Didn¡¯t you say that Chen Shouye is very ill and will die soon?  Why do you look so alive and kicking now that you can even ride a horse?  Chen Shouye chuckled: "It's all thanks to the blessing of the Great Ghost Emperor. I was really going to see the King of Hell. Thanks to the Great Ghost Emperor, I saw that I shouldn't die and saved me!" What I heard  People, everyone looked sideways!  The Ghost Emperor appears again!  It seems that the hard days of this natural disaster are coming to an end!  Although Shaanxi is a poor place, there are also many wealthy families.  Especially this place, like Shanxi, is close to Mongolia.  There are many wealthy businessmen secretly doing business with the Mongols!  Just like Chen Shouye, a tycoon who made his fortune by smuggling trade with the Mongols.  His subordinates not only have countless money.  There are even more fierce horse teams, which are horse thieves on the grassland.  There are also some Mongolian tribes who are afraid of three-point force.  Running business on the grassland and engaging in such trade.  Without strong force, he would have been swallowed up long ago.  ¡°But it is still very rare for someone like Chen Shouye to do such a big business.  Only the Shanxi merchants in Shanxi can compare, they are really rich and powerful.  But even Chen Shouye was amazed when he came to the Ghost Emperor's Palace!  Shaanxi has suffered from drought and locust plagues for consecutive years, and the people are in dire straits.  Especially in northern Shaanxi, the drought is even more severe.  But now, surrounded by green water, there are vibrant crop fields everywhere.  There are also pastures. Where is there any sign of drought?  It is almost the same as the Hetao that is said to be blocked in the south of the Yangtze River.  These places are now the farmland of the Ghost Emperor Palace.  The original entire military fortress had already been given to the Ghost Emperor's Palace by the emperor's decree, and became the farmland of the Ghost Emperor's Palace.  Now, these rich and powerful people came outside the Ghost Emperor's Palace.  Looking at the miracle that has been passed down for a long time, despite the drought in the entire north, where it is difficult to even drink water, outside the Ghost Emperor's Palace, clear water keeps flowing out, turning into rivers, nourishing the tens of thousands of acres of land.  .  These places were originally the fields of military households, but due to an imperial edict from the emperor, they all became the farmland of the Ghost Emperor Palace.  Now the Ghost Emperor Palace is really rich! ??If it were someone else's land, these guys who were so bold for money might even find ways to steal it.  But this is the land of the Ghost Emperor. Who is so tired of living that he wants to seize the land of the gods?  That really means that the Eighteenth Level of Hell can no longer deal with those black-hearted idiots.  In short, I see this scene now.  These powerful and wealthy people could only marvel.  I feel envious and jealous in my heart, but I absolutely dare not hate?  Who doesn¡¯t know the miraculous power of the Ghost Emperor?  Although I don¡¯t know what major matter the Ghost Emperor sent to call them all to discuss this time.  But no one dares to refuse to show up.  Even Zhang Wanwan, who was carried directly by others but was seriously ill and bedridden, had to be carried to the Ghost Emperor's Palace.  Many people looked at this guy helplessly. He was obviously sallow and skinny and looked like he was dying.  He was carried on the couch by several servants, but not long after entering the Ghost Emperor's Palace, he walked out with a rosy complexion.  Such a scene simply shocked the jaws of these wealthy families and made them drop their jaws.  Many people who devoutly believe in ghosts and gods simply kneel on the ground and kowtow for a long time.  The powerful people in these places walked into the Ghost Emperor's Palace in a well-behaved manner, offered incense and kowtowed to the Ghost Emperor.  But at this moment, a golden light shot out from the statue and hit a temple priest standing next to it.  I saw the momentum of the temple blessing suddenly change, and he shouted: "I am the Ghost Emperor, the Great Lord is here!" "The Great Lord has appeared" "The Great Lord has appeared" Looking at this appearance, it seems that he is really the Ghost Emperor.  The Great Master is attached to this temple blessing!  ¡°All of a sudden, all these rebellious, powerful and wealthy people knelt on the ground and looked at them piously.  "The country is in turmoil and evil dragons have sprung up." The temple Zhu shouted expressionlessly: "I am determined to save the world's common people and let them enjoy peace and prosperity again. Now that evil dragon is about to enter the pass. This is the way to eliminate demons.  As time goes by, I hope you will contribute money and efforts to overcome the difficulties. I will remember your achievements!" As he said that, another golden light flashed and he returned to the statue.  The Miao Zhu collapsed softly on the ground.  No one thought that the Ghost Emperor would call them here for such a thing, and they were all a bit cold for a while.  At this time, Chen Shouye was the first to shout that his life was saved by the Ghost Emperor. At this time, there was nothing wrong with showing off: "What the Great Master said makes sense, those intruders are locusts. We, the wealthy families, are the worst to see."  If we kill them, we won't get any benefits. We must not let these locusts enter the border!" He waved his arms, and someone immediately responded, saying, "That's right, that's right, even the intruder is dead.  What does it mean that there is only one Li Guo child left?" "It's just that the invaders are fighting everywhere, but they don't know how to establish an official system and treat the scholar-bureaucrats well. You know that these invaders are nothing more than bandits!  ¡­¡± ¡°These thieves have ransacked almost all the homes of the wealthy households in the Central Plains. If the thieves are allowed to return to Guanzhong, we will all end up like those people in the Central Plains¡± These things were originally what they wanted.  .  It¡¯s just that there aren¡¯t enough people to host it.  The only one with enough weight is Sun Chuanting, but in order to support his soldiers, Sun cultivated fields and scraped the land too hard, which has offended all the wealthy families in Guanzhong.  Now, the Ghost Emperor is taking the lead.  All these rich families who were originally scattered became excited.  It¡¯s not like they haven¡¯t heard of what happened to the wealthy households in Kaifeng, Luoyang, Xiangyang and other places.  These intruders do not engage in production, nor do they restore local order, establish systems, collect taxes, and form a complete management system.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????  To put it bluntly, if Li Chuang had even the slightest bit of Zhu Yuanzhang's performance, these wealthy families would have been rushing to join Chuang's army.  Maybe Chuang Jun doesn¡¯t have to do anything himself, they can think of a way to tie up Sun Chuanting and send him to Chuang Jun.  In short, we are now under a huge crisis.  The Ghost Emperor spoke again, and these wealthy families immediately changed their ways.  When Sun Chuanting was the governor of Guanzhong, he tried every means to borrow some money and food from these guys. These guys were hard-earned to part with their wealth.  But I didn¡¯t expect that this time, everyone who had money and ability to contribute would actually be very enthusiastic.  ¡°In the final analysis, these guys are rich.  But he also has a vision.?'s.  The future of the Ming Dynasty is unclear, and it is getting worse day by day. Naturally, these guys are not very obedient.  But the fact that the Ghost Emperor is so efficacious has something to do with them.  How could they be so ignorant?  Chen Shouye shouted: "Don't worry, everyone, our Chen family's horse team will deliver the first batch of grain and grass supplies to Tongguan as quickly as possible. We must let Superintendent Sun stop the evil dragon" Everyone cheered, everyone  But he didn't put all his hopes on Sun Chuanting.  It has begun to work out how many people each will send to build up team training weapons.  There is no shortage of horses in Shaanxi, and there is no shortage of grain in the hands of these wealthy families.  If you are really willing to spend a lot of money, you can raise a rural regiment of tens of thousands of people with just a little effort at most, and even one or two thousand cavalry.  (To be continued)
