Chen Yulou of the Chen family opened his granary to distribute grain, which was due to his kind character and also because he wanted to recruit these refugees.
However, although the Chen family is wealthy and powerful, they cannot withstand the consumption of thousands of refugees, right?
Taoist Qihuang estimated that the Chen family could hold out for a month at most before closing their warehouses to protect themselves.
At that time, most of the refugees who were not selected by the Chen family would come to Echeng.
This also strengthened Gu Qianqiu's determination to take the assets of the four major families for his own use.
While Gu Qianqiu was plotting against the four major families, the beastly Huang Silang was also plotting against Zhuge Kongping.
141. Huang Silang’s plan: to recruit Maoshan to join the gang!
After toasting, Sister Hua returned to the third floor.
Huang Silang occupied a corner of the elegant seats on the third floor, where he and his trusted subordinates Hu Wan and Wu Juren drank tea.
Sister Hua stepped forward, stood behind Huang Silang, and massaged his shoulders, "Master!"
"Who are the people in there?"
Huang Silang asked.
Zhuge Kongping is very famous in Echeng, but after all, he is just a poor Taoist priest who can be ordered around by money, and he is not worthy of his attention.
However, Zhuge Kongping's reputation as a henpecked man is well known to the locals in Echeng.
But tonight, the henpecked Zhuge Kongping entered the Yan-Yang Tower.
This made Huang Silang very curious, so he asked Sister Hua to toast Zhuge Kongping to see who was so powerful that Zhuge Kongping could make an exception.
“There are three Taoist priests: Wang Youcai, Huang Pingan, and Liu Ansheng.
The two old ones who understood were Taoist Qihuang of Qihuang Cave and Bai Wusheng of the Black Sect.
The other two young men, one is Zhuge Kongping’s son Zhuge Xiaoming, and the other…” Sister Hua raised her eyebrows, “is the best-looking young man, his name is Gu Qianqiu, and he is Zhuge Kongping’s junior fellow apprentice.
This is Gu Qianqiu's first time in Goose City, and they are here to welcome him."
As Huang Silang's intelligence chief, Sister Hua naturally has some skills to show for it. Although Sister Hua has hardly ever dealt with Zhuge Kongping and his son, Taoist Wang and the other three, she knows them all.
She had heard of Taoist Qihuang and Bai Wusheng, but did not know them.
This was the first time she had heard of Gu Qianqiu.
However, after a few drinks, he found out his identity.
"How good looking is she??"
The martial arts candidate suddenly became interested.
He is a big and strong man. He has no interest in pretty girls but is very interested in pretty men.
"Zhuge Kongping's junior fellow disciple should also be a true disciple of Maoshan.
Maoshan's true teachings, can you afford to offend?"
Hu Wan hit.
He doesn't like military candidates.
Because he is also a good-looking man.
Fortunately, as a subordinate of Huang Silang, his status has always been slightly higher than that of the martial arts candidate.
The martial arts candidate didn't dare to make a move on him.
However, the occasional harassment has never stopped.
"Why can't you afford to offend me?"
The military candidate also knew that he could not afford to offend the people from Maoshan, but that did not stop him from being stubborn.
"Alright!" Seeing that the two confidants were about to fight again, Huang Silang stopped them and said, "Taoist Qihuang and Bai Wusheng, the two living gods from Nuqing County, have come from a distance of hundreds of miles to welcome Gu Qianqiu.
It seems that this Gu Qianqiu is not simple! "
Although I don't know much about the martial arts world.
At the same time, he also doesn't look down on people from the underworld.
After all, firearms are the mainstream nowadays. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you will be afraid of kitchen knives, right?
However, he still knew the reputation of Taoist Qihuang and the leader of the Black Cult.
These two people are known as living immortals in Nuqing County and have many believers.
"Master, what do you mean?"
Hu Wan looked at Huang Silang.
He knew that the master he served never did anything in vain.
Whatever you do, there must be a purpose.
"Maoshan has a good reputation in our Echeng and even in the whole of Xiangxi.
However, our four major families are notorious in Echeng.
You tell me, if we cooperate with Maoshan, can we clear our reputation?
Also, I heard that Maoshan’s corpse-driving business is spread all over western Hunan.
If they can help us bring in goods, can our business continue to grow?"
The four major families have made a lot of money over the years.
When you have no money, you can give up fame for the sake of money.
Now that I have money, I start thinking about fame again.
After all, if possible, no one wants to be criticized by their fellow villagers.
It would be even better if you could expand your business while clearing your reputation.
"Let Maoshan bring us the goods!"
Hu Wan's eyes lit up.
Their arms were basically sold to bandits and robbers in the surrounding areas.
However, that business was not big.
First of all, they can only get a small amount of goods.
Another thing is that if there are too many of them, the horse thieves and bandits will become more powerful and ambitious, and they might turn around and target the four major families.
And the Chinese workers.
The four major families all deceived people into boarding overseas ships under the guise of recruiting workers.
Now, most of the easy scams around Goose City have been made.
Although this business is still going on, it actually doesn't make much money anymore.
Therefore, the most profitable business of the four major families is opium.
The opium in western Hunan comes from Echeng.
The four major families almost control the entire opium business in Xiangxi, and goods are shipped to various places in Xiangxi every day.
But the four major families have absolute power in Goose City, but this is not the case in other places.
There are security teams in other places.
In many places, their goods cannot be transported at all.
This also meant that their business was not able to spread throughout Xiangxi.
But if Maoshan is willing to help promote the goods.
Use real zombies to bring goods...
It is only a matter of time before it infiltrates the entire Xiangxi region.
"Master, this is done."
Hu Wan went over the pros and cons of the matter in his mind and gave a thumbs up.
... ... ...
"It is indeed possible, but in this case, Maoshan will certainly be able to get a share of the profits, but we have to discuss it with the other three companies first to see how much we can get at most..."
……
Gu Qianqiu and his friends were toasting each other in Yanyang Tower.
Zhuge Kongping's Taoist temple.
Wang Hui, Zhuge Xiaohua and Gu Hongye were also toasting each other at home.
There was a large table of dishes, but Wang Hui and Zhuge Xiaohua hardly touched them, as almost all of them were eaten by Gu Hongye.
All the wine in the house was also moved out.
Anyway, Gu Hongye had eaten and drunk enough.
After having a good meal and a good drink, Wang Hui finally couldn't help but said, "Grandmaster, Xiaohua is already seventeen years old.
This girl should get married when she grows up. In the past two years, I have been worried about her marriage.
I visited quite a few local people in Echeng.
But she just doesn't like him and only has Qianqiu in her heart.
I've told you that there's a big generation gap between them, but she just won't give up.
There is no other way. I can only ask you, Grandmaster, for help."
"What do you want me to ask for?" Gu Hongye was stunned. Looking at Zhuge Xiaohua who was lowering her head beside her, she immediately realized that she might not be able to eat this meal in vain.
“I would like to ask the Grandmaster to grant Xiaohua and Qianqiu a marriage.
Xiaohua doesn't dare to think about being the main wife, so being a concubine is fine."
Wang Hui looked at Gu Hongye, her eyes full of anticipation.
If you ask Gu Qianqiu directly, he might not accept it for the sake of face.
This is different if you ask the elders to arrange the marriage directly.
(I was in Chongqing, and there were yang lights on different floors in the same unit, I was very nervous) B.
142. The County Magistrate’s Wife: What…what are you going to do?
"A marriage is granted!"
Although I had already roughly guessed that the meal would not be delicious.
But I didn't expect Wang Hui to be so direct.
Her fellow senior sisters and fellow nephews were also eyeing him, and Gu Hongye finally realized how popular Gu Qianqiu was.
With something in his mind, Gu Hongye put on a serious face.
“Marriage is a serious matter and should not be joked about.
Xiaohua is thinking about Gu Qianqiu, but I don’t know what Gu Qianqiu is thinking.
But I can't make the decision for him." Gu Hongye shook her head.
Swah——
Zhuge Xiaohua, who lowered her head, felt her face getting even hotter.
Wang Hui's face also became much stiffer.
But he knew that his wishful thinking had not worked.
“However, I can help you find out what he has to say.
Ask him what he thinks.
See if he has this idea. "People who eat from others are soft-hearted, and those who receive from others are grateful. Gu Hongye changed the subject and said, "Xiaohua, it is normal for men and women to admire each other."
