Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

Watching a team of more than a hundred carts and dozens of prisoners marching away from the city, they left behind more than 300 heads neatly stacked and gurgling on the bank of the moat. Liu Wendou sat down on the ground, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Crying means crying that these old men will come to settle accounts in the future. They will not be able to escape from this calamity, and they will have to live in fear from now on; laughing means laughing that they don’t have to die today. I can still live a good life for a few more days, and the delicate concubines at home can still have more pain.

"My lord! My lord?" The guard next to him helped Liu Wendou up in a very flattering manner, "This group of people went to Chuzhou via Jintian and Shangwei."

"Who cares where they went, as long as they don't cause trouble in our Jinping territory!" Mr. Liu let out a long breath.

Watching from a distance that the last group of people were far away from his sight, Liu Wendou waited for another half-quarter of an hour, and after making sure that there would be no ambush, Liu Wendou ordered the city gates to be opened, and allowed those victims and their families who had been killed to come out of the city to collect the bodies.

In order to prevent someone from ambushing outside the city, he cautiously opened the city gate first and let those who were waiting for the crying people to leave the city. After everyone had gone out, he closed the city gate and lowered the drawbridge.

Hundreds of victims swarmed across the suspension bridge, and immediately there was another chaos below the city. They were looking for corpses, crying, cursing, tearing and beating each other. The noise was a headache.

Master Liu naturally did not want to see this scene of life and death, so he returned home early.

"Gentlemen, please!"

After taking a sip of hot tea, Liu Wendou bowed to the group of gentry around him.

"Everyone must have heard about it today. Bandits are attacking the city. If I hadn't led my team out of the city to fight hard, I'm afraid you gentlemen wouldn't be able to sit here and have a cup of tea right now, right?"

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

After everyone heard this, their hearts immediately calmed down. As long as it was not a serious matter of beheading, they were not afraid. Isn't it just a matter of sharing!

Simple!

Most of these people are squires living in the county, and there are also many trading shops in the city. In the past, when there were officials passing through the border, or when the court had to apportion labor and other expenses that were difficult to pay, the officials would discuss with the gentry to allocate the expenses to the common people.

Of course, the officials and gentry just took the lead in showing off, and when the people's money was almost collected, they took out the remaining balance and calculated it.

The gentry's money was returned in full, and the remaining money was divided into seven and three parts. Jinping County has often held such large-scale activities in the past.

However, today I am in a hurry and I am afraid it would not be appropriate to slowly collect the money from Dou Sheng. If someone comes to settle the accounts, I am still fighting for the money. I am afraid that I will not go into the latrine with a lantern at night—— court death.

"Students know Mr. Liu's difficulties. We must do our best this time to overcome the difficulties!" Many gentry nodded in agreement. Compared with their own money, they still cherish their lives more.

After some discussion and bargaining, Mr. Liu finally agreed with the gentlemen that ordinary shops would charge ten yuan of silver each, medium-sized shops would charge eight yuan of silver, and fine shops would charge five yuan of silver.

The reason why the fine shops charge less is for no other reason. Firstly, there are few fine shops, and secondly, the owners of the fine shops are here to discuss prices. Can the person who makes the rules allow himself to pay more? !

No one is a fool!

There is no plan to go bankrupt even if you pay the money!

As for ordinary people in the city, they are levied according to the standard of 500 coins per male and 200 coins per old, weak, women and children.

After seeing off all the gentlemen, Mr. Liu and Kong Yijie calculated the expenses together. Each deceased was given three yuan as a pension and one yuan for burial.

Supervisors, government officials and the like were paid double the amount, but those scoundrels and scoundrels were not paid at all. No one felt sorry for them even if they died. There was quite a lot of applause and applause, so in total it was only fifteen hundred yuan.

And the income apportioned in the city alone is at least ten thousand taels after deducting the interception from the gentry. Simply take out another three thousand yuan, go to the provincial capital to do some things, and turn the funeral into a happy event. Maybe, my promotion will be faster this time!

After sending Kong Yijie away, Mr. Liu returned to his study, changed into civilian clothes, drank the rock sugar lily soup brought by the delicate concubine whom he bought from the restaurant when he was only 28 years old, and looked at the concubine. With her snow-white and pink face, she couldn't help but feel her crotch jump.

Unconsciously, he began to hum: "It turns out that the colorful flowers are blooming all over the place, but they are all left to ruined wells and ruined buildings. The sky is so beautiful in good times. Whose house is enjoying the pleasure? Flying in the morning and rolling in the evening, clouds and green pavilions. Rain and wind, The people of Jinping look at the boat painted on the smoke waves, and the time is so cheap..."

While singing in his mouth, his hands were not idle. He took the concubine and put his little hands into his clothes, enjoying the extra comfort, "My dear, you see, there are so many things happening today." "Sweat, can you take a bath with Dada later?"

The concubine spat, her face turned red with embarrassment, Master Liu felt even more itchy when he saw this, and just as he was about to take further action, the butler at the door made a very unpleasant report.

"Master, there are guests coming to visit outside."

He was about to enter Hong Kong, but someone came to disturb him at this time. No matter how well-mannered Liu Wendou was, he would still be a little angry.

"who?!"

"I wonder who he is?"

"Do you have a famous post?"

"There's no name card either!"

"You bastard! You don't have a name card, and you don't know who it is, so you just go to the master to get it? Do you still want to do this?"

The housekeeper endured listening to Mr. Liu's scolding, and from time to time he secretly squeezed the two hard silver coins that Liu Wendou rewarded a few days ago in his hand. For the sake of money, he took everything Mr. Liu said as a joke. Ear.

When Mr. Liu was a little thirsty and tired after being scolded and was drinking lily soup from a porcelain bowl, the housekeeper replied to Mr. Liu slowly.

"Sir, the person who came here said that he has a relationship with you. He is an old friend in the city today! He told me that I must bring this message to you. As for whether you want to see him or not, it depends on your own happiness. Ze. These are his original words. I don’t dare to be good at it.”

The butler's voice was still the same as before, neither rushed nor slow, neither high nor low, gentle and polite, but it suddenly exploded in Mr. Liu's ears like a thunderbolt, and then, Liu Wendou's ears seemed to be ringing. That series of seemingly endless sounds of firecrackers exploding.

"Master, master!" the concubine on the side called him coquettishly, "the soup even spilled on his clothes and robes!"

"Hurry! Hurry!" Mr. Liu put down the bowl and was a little confused.

"Master, what are you doing?" The concubine continued to slide her ten spring-onion-like fingers up and down Master Liu's body, teasing him. In the past, Master Liu liked this style the most.

However, today he was wrong.

"Get out of here! You little bitch! Why don't you bring me some clothes to change? I have something big to do!" Liu Wendou scolded angrily, then kicked him away, "Bring me some clothes!"
