Win the Ding 1617

Watching him go away, with more than a hundred carts, and a team of dozens of captives, he left himself with more than 200 heads neatly stacked, lying on the bank of the moat, still gurgling in the cavity Wu Wenming, the magistrate of Xin'an County, sat down on the ground, not knowing whether to cry or to celebrate, with corpses dripping with uncoagulated blood and dozens of corpses still floating on the water in the moat.

The people in the city told him directly that today's incident was just a slight punishment, and if this kind of incident happened in the future, they would go to the city and leave no officials and gentry behind!

"My lord! My lord?" The guard next to him was very flattering and helped Wu Wenming up, "This group of people is heading towards Huizhou via Yantian and Longgang."

"It doesn't matter where you go, as long as you don't cause trouble in my Xin'an territory!" Master Wu let out a long breath.

Seeing that the last group of troops was far away from his sight, and convinced that there would be no ambush, Mr. Wu ordered to open the gates of the city, and let those sufferers and family members who had their families killed go out of the city to collect their bodies.

In order to prevent someone from ambush outside the city, Mr. Wu was very cautious, opened the city gate first, and let those people who kept crying out of the city, after everyone went out, closed the city gate and lowered the suspension bridge.

Hundreds of sufferers swarmed across the suspension bridge, and immediately there was another chaos under the city, people identifying the corpse, crying, cursing, tearing and beating each other, the noise was a headache.

"Gentlemen, please!"

After taking a sip of hot tea, Wu Wenming bowed to a group of gentry around him.Most of these people are squires living in the county, and there are also many trading shops in the city.

"Everyone has seen it too. Bandits and bandits are attacking the city today. I, Xin'an County Ruo Shi, lead a team out of the city to fight hard. I am afraid that you gentlemen will not be able to sit here and drink tea right now?"

"However, the thieves and bandits are very powerful, and most of the people who went out of the county to fight against the enemy in this county were killed or injured. Therefore, I invite you to come here today to discuss how to deal with the funeral."

After everyone listened, their hearts immediately settled down. It turned out that they were looking for all of us to discuss how to apportion the matter!In the past, there were officials transiting the border, or when it was not easy to account for expenses such as non-governmental public welfare.The officials will discuss with the gentry.Allocate this fee to Shengdou Xiaomin. Of course, gentlemen with fame and reputation do not need to pay a penny.On the contrary, because gentlemen have to worry about laborious organization.Instead, some money is needed to subsidize it.To serve as a moistening pen.otherwise.Who will you come forward to organize such a thing? !

Mr. Deng, the treasurer of the lucky number pawnshop in the city and also engaged in exchange business, is also a scholar with a reputation and is very old.Moreover, he is the eldest grandson of the most powerful and powerful Deng family in this county, so he is the leader among this group of gentlemen.At that moment, he got up and saluted Mr. Wu.

"The adults are so kind, and the students feel the same. But I don't know how to raise the cost?"

After some discussion and bargaining, Mr. Wu finally agreed with the adults and gentlemen to charge three yuan for each ordinary shop, eight yuan for each medium-sized shop, and ten yuan for the upper-class shop. There is no other reason for waiting shops to charge less. The bosses of high-end shops are here to negotiate prices. Can those who set the rules ask themselves to pay more? !As for the ordinary people in the city, they are collected according to the standard of [-] Wen Nanzhong for each male, and [-] Wen for each old and weak woman and child.

After sending away a group of gentlemen, Mr. Wu and Master Gaochang calculated the expenses of the accounts together. Each deceased will be given five yuan as compensation, three yuan for burning and burial, and double payment for the team leader and the general. It was more than 2000 yuan, and the income apportioned in the city alone was at least ten thousand taels after deducting the retention of the gentry.Simply take out another 2000 yuan and go to the provincial capital to manage one or two, turning the funeral into a happy event.Maybe, this promotion of his own will come true!

After sending the master away to rest in his small courtyard, Mr. Wu went back to his study, changed into plain clothes, drank the rock sugar lily soup brought by the handsome little book boy, looked at the snow-white and tender face of the book boy, I couldn't help jumping frogs under my crotch, and sang in my mouth: "It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming all over the place, and they are all ruined like this. But what a beautiful day, who is so happy? Xuan; the rain is like the wind, and the mist is like a boat. Jinping people really see this time as cheap!"

While singing in his mouth, his hands were not idle, he pulled the book boy over, and then put the book boy's small hands into his clothes, "My dear, look at Da Da sweating so much today, you will be with Da Da in a while." Would you like to take a bath together?"

The book boy spat, his face flushed with embarrassment, Mr. Wu was so in love with him when he saw this, he was about to make a move, but the footman at the door complained very badly.

"My lord, we have a visitor."

Seeing that he was about to enter Hong Kong, but someone came to disturb him at this time, Master Wu would be a little angry no matter how reserved he was.

"Who?! Is there a famous post?"

"I don't know who it is, and there is no name post!"

"Bastard bastard! You don't have a name card, and you don't know who it is, so you get it in front of the master?"

The servant endured listening to Mr. Wu's scolding, and secretly squeezed the two hard silver dollars in his hands from time to time. For the sake of money, he took everything Mr. Wu said as wind.

When Mr. Wu scolded him a little thirsty and tired, and was drinking lily soup with a porcelain bowl, the servant replied slowly to Mr. Wu.

"The visitor said that he and the lord had met once, and he was an old friend in the city today! Tell the little one, you must bring this word with you. As for whether the lord wants to see him, it depends on the lord's own blessing. This is His original words, the little ones dare not be good at it."

The voice of the servant was still the same as before, unhurried, neither high nor low, gentle and polite, but it exploded in Mr. Wu's ears like a thunderbolt. The continuous sound of firecrackers exploding.

"Master, master!" The book boy at the side called him coquettishly, "The soup is spilled on the robe!"

"Quick! Hurry up!" Mr. Wu was a little flustered.

"Master, what are you up to?" The book boy continued to swipe ten spring onion-like fingers on Mr. Wu's body.Master Wu liked this tune the most in the past.

However, today he was wrong.

"Go away! You bastard! Why don't you get some clothes for me to change? I have something important to do!" I kicked it and hit the crotch of the book boy, causing the book boy to groan in pain. The crotch squatted on the ground.

"Get clothes for me!"

Hastily changed his clothes to meet the guest, and came within the second gate. He had already heard from the servant that the guest came in through the back door, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears.

"It seems to be a sensible person."

In the yard, three or five big men were waiting there with seven or eight horses, and behind the leader stood two sturdy men.It is obvious at a glance that they are guards, servants and other roles.

Just look at the momentum.These few people are not the status of simple tycoons, their clothes are neat and tidy, and there is no demeanor stained by the color of wine on their faces.

The men leading the horses wore breastplates without any scruples.To know.According to the law of Ming Dynasty.It is not within the scope of the prohibition to collect artillery at home, but collecting armor is a crime against the nine clans, let alone wearing armor so blatantly.Some of the armored men were gently stroking the horse's mane.The extremely short and neatly trimmed mane was dyed a light red under the setting sun.

Among the small group of horses, two horses were obviously pack horses, carrying two heavy cloth bags on their backs, and it was unknown what items were contained inside.

"This gentleman came to see me, what can I do?"

Taking a closer look at the people who came, Mr. Wu was a little relieved that these people were definitely not bandits and pirates who murdered and robbed their goods, let alone anti-grain mobs in nearby counties.

"This gentleman must be Mr. Wu, the old parent of Xin'an County?"

Facing Wu Wenming's question, Chen Tianhua responded with a smile.

"It's right here, Mr. I don't know?"

"Today, you and I had a relationship at the top of the city. At that time, I was riding a horse under the city to admire the demeanor of my old parents."

Sure enough it is!Looking at the man in front of him who looked like a gentleman, he turned out to be the one who sent hundreds of people to the Hades for cleaning while chatting and laughing in the city today, so Wu Wenming couldn't help but take a step back, "You, you are?!"

"That's right, I'm here. Tianhua is reckless, and he's bothering Mr. today. This time, I came here for nothing else, but to talk about a big fortune with my old parents."

After saying this, Chen Tianhua nodded slightly to the two guards standing behind him, and the two guards walked up to the pack horses, drew out the long sabers around their waists, and slashed at the two pack horses!

The blade slashed across the cloth bag on the horse's back, splitting a long opening, and the contents rolled out of the bag.The paper package wrapped in red paper was thrown to pieces on the ground paved with blue bricks, and the things in the paper package bounced around on the ground and collided with the blue bricks, making bursts of crisp and pleasant sounds.

As if to create a stronger visual impact, the man with the long knife in his hand pulled the two pack horses forward a few steps, and the silver coins wrapped in red paper in the cloth bag were like rain falling, jingling Dang paved all over the passing Yonglu.

"What I did during the day was really a helpless act of self-preservation, which disturbed my old parents. Some small things, two thousand silver dollars, are used to calm my old parents."

"Two thousand silver dollars?!" Lord Wu Wenming almost believed that today he was valued by Marshal Zhao Gong, the God of Wealth!You can receive money in and out of the city!In the apportionment in the city, he can at least get about a thousand yuan, and the group outside the city sent another two thousand silver dollars. Today is definitely a good day!

"I don't know what brother Tianhua wants to ask for advice?"

Master Wu tried his best to move his eyes away from the road covered with white silver coins, and reluctantly took a look at the Yonglu that seemed to have brightened a few times.

"Tianhua is a businessman, so naturally he wants to discuss a business with his old parents."

merchant?County Magistrate Wu smiled bitterly in his heart, and then sneered again, "When have you seen a businessman like you? The caravan is not accompanied by fellows, it is much more fierce than the soldiers of the towns!"

"Although I'm on the side of Simu, I'm also quite interested in the matter of breeding goods. I wholeheartedly plan to resign one day and not to follow Tao Zhugong's actions. Please! Let's talk in detail in the lower study!"

Arming their wrists together, as if they were old friends with Chen Tianhua for many years, they walked into the study.Standing at the door of the study, Mr. Wu reprimanded the servant who stood there like a clay puppet.

"Stupid thing! Why don't you go and tell your wife to arrange a good dinner for me, brother Tianhua's entourage? Also, tell your wife to tidy up the yard!"

The footman looked helplessly at the silver dollars piled up all over the ground in the yard, and then at the pitiful two silver dollars in his hand, he couldn't help lamenting secretly, the fate is so unfair!He was still so excited when he got a bribe of two silver dollars just now, but he was knocked down from the cloud in the blink of an eye.

Press the servant to go to the inner house to find Mrs. Wu to arrange dinner and dinner for the group of guards, and clean up the ground (oh, is it more straightforward to say that it is more straightforward to collect the money?) Not to mention.Let's just talk about Wu Wenming, Master Wu and Chen Tianhua in the study at this time.

"What? You want to buy land on the south bank of the Shenzhen River?!"

Looking at Mr. Wu who was a little surprised.Chen Tianhua put down the teacup in his hand, "My lord," he specially used this title that was inappropriate to Wu Wenming's status as magistrate, and even somewhat presumptuous. "Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Brother Tianhua. It's rare that you and I hit it off right away. I can't lie to you."

("Bullshit hit it off at first sight. It's true when you hit it off with Yinzi! If it wasn't for Yinzi's sake, I wouldn't bother to talk to you!")

"To the south of the Shenzhen River, there have been many famous families since they came here. Some families have been here since the Northern Song Dynasty and have multiplied here for hundreds of years. Liao, Sheung Shui Hou and Fanling Peng. In addition to these five surnames, there are also many relatively small clans scattered in various places, such as: the district surnames and Yu surnames in Sheung Shui, the Su surnames in Sha Tau Kok and the The Li surnames, the Cheng and Wen surnames in Sai Kung, and the Lin surnames scattered in Sai Kung, Kowloon and outlying islands, etc.

"These five major families each have their own regions, each of which built surrounding villages, ancestral halls, and academies in the region, and set up markets along the main roads of transportation. Even the county does not dare to criticize them too harshly if there are fights over water, land and other matters."

"Moreover, the land in this area is not particularly suitable for farming. Often a strong wind can wipe out your hard work for a year. This is one of them."

Chen Tianhua took a sip from the lily porcelain teacup, and praised the exquisite tea art, "My lord, please continue to speak for Tianhua."

"The second is what I said just now. The folk customs are strong. Once outsiders enter, please forgive me for being outspoken. With my brother's temper, we will inevitably have quarrels with these families. At that time, I am afraid it will be too late for my dear brother to regret!"

"Thank you for your advice, my lord. However, Tianhua was entrusted by my lord to choose a place in this area to build a house and run a business. Please take care of me, my lord."

Seeing Chen Tianhua's decisiveness, Wu Wenming naturally couldn't say anything more, but after thinking about it again, I don't know how much he has been angered by the five major families over the years. If the powerful dragon in front of him collides with those local snakes, it doesn't matter who Whoever loses wins is another good opportunity for this county to make a fortune!

"Mr. I don't know where the land has entered the eyes of the law?"

"It's here!"

On the map of Xin'an County that Wu Wenming took, Chen Tianhua's finger pointed to a seaside location without hesitation.

"Da Po?!" Seeing this place located on the north bank of Lincun River, adjacent to Tianhou Temple, facing Dabuhai, Wu Wenming couldn't help but softly praised Chen Tianhua in his heart, "Sure enough, I have good eyesight!"

Tai Po is the main traffic route between Kowloon City and Shenzhen Market. In addition, it has a fishing port facing Dabuhai (now known as Tolo Harbor), and the water and land transportation is convenient. Therefore, it is bound to become an excellent place for business.

"I don't know what kind of business you plan to do here, sir?"

"There is nothing else. It is nothing more than buying the tea produced in Xin'an County, transporting it to Nanyang for sale, and then selling the tea produced in Nanyang to various places in Guangdong."

Hearing what Chen Tianhua said about the business, Wu Wenming's eyes immediately lit up. He confirmed that Marshal Zhao Gong must have held down the cloud over his house today, and threw the cornucopia in front of him!

"Sell the tea produced locally, and sell the tea produced in Nanzhong to the inland? My dear brother, it is really a good way! Haha! Haha!" While praising Chen Tianhua with his thumbs up, Mr. Wu laughed dryly.

"If adults are interested, you might as well participate in the shares, earn some money, and collect some rare books, antiques, calligraphy and paintings for adults."

"This, why are you so embarrassed? I am ashamed to accept it!"

Without even pushing and pushing, Master Wu calmly accepted Chen Tianhua's invitation to join him, and immediately took a pen and paper to write a name.

"This is the name of my brother-in-law. At this time, he is still serving Master Taishan in his hometown in Zhejiang. Brother, you might as well use this name to enter the account."

"It's easy to say!" Chen Tianhua folded the paper with Xin'an county government office letter printed on it and put it in his sleeve without even looking at it.

"Since it's a partnership business, there is one thing I want to ask my dear brother. I don't know what your plan is about the land price? Do I need to mediate for you?"

Wu Wenming started to figure out what Chen Tianhua was up to, if he came to you for nothing, why would he give you a share for no reason?

"Five thousand silver dollars, I don't know if my lord can help me get the land in Dapu?"

Chen Tianhua threw out the price of the land.

"Five thousand?" Wu Wenming clicked his tongue, but it seemed that his benefits were not mentioned in it?How should this be done?Although it is said that we are doing business together, it is better to make a clear calculation.

"The other [-] silver dollars are for you to transfer and manage everywhere." Chen Tianhua threw another heavy shell, this time, Master Wu has nothing to say!

Ten thousand silver dollars, I don't care if you are building weapons on this land, training soldiers and horses, and preparing for a major event of rebellion? (to be continued..)
