Beiyang new warlord

"You said these things belonged to Shen Shikui, right? Very good, now I will take you to the Shen residence to ask in person. If it is his, I will apologize and carry it to him personally, but if it is not, tsk tsk, we See you before the military law, let's go!"

In an instant, the back of Zhang Mengfu, a strong man of eight feet, was soaked.

Kneeling down and kowtowing, Zhang Mengfu led his men and left the port in despair. It was true that this thing was for Shen Shikui, but it was impossible for him as a general to admit it when it happened in front of Shen Shikui. That would leave people with nothing to talk about, and when the time comes, it must be his small family who are unlucky, and since Mao Jue dared to question Shen Shikui face to face, he must have the confidence.

At this point, Zhang Baihu can't stand up anymore, and the 36 plan can only be the best choice.

Full of admiration, Pang Dahai yelled to remove all the good things that Zhang Meng's mansion worked so hard to smuggle from North Korea, even from Jiannu.Wiping his nose, Mao Jue squinted at the direction in which the hundreds of soldiers of the Zhang family were retreating, and hummed to the soldiers under his command.

"Fucking with Lao Tzu on my site, you are still young! Hurry up and move all these to Qian Zong's compound, and then we will wait!"

Chapter 30. My Dad is X Steel

Whether it was Li Yaowu, who was still thinking about playing tricks, or Shen Rong, who was begging for mercy with a mournful face, all their private goods were finally collected by Mao Jue, plus Pang Hai's private goods, one night, he There are no less than 5000 taels of northern goods in the Qianzong compound.

Indeed, smuggling in the military has become an unspoken rule. I don’t know how many people live on it. However, there is another important rule in the military. Whoever has a hard fist has the final say!Mao Jue doesn't care about other Qianhu households, but now he is this Mr. Qian, and it's just a dream to grab money under his own nose, but also to give someone else a shot.

Mao Wenlong hopes that he can be the successor of Pidao's next generation. Even if he doesn't, he knows that this era is full of turmoil and people's names are as cheap as grass, especially living in Dongjiang Town, the forefront of the conflict between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If he wants to live, And to live with dignity, it is absolutely impossible to have no soldiers on hand, and you need money to raise soldiers, and most of the money is held by the generals of Liaodong and Dongjiang. No sympathy is allowed, anyone who wants to be weak will be kicked out.

If you want to get ahead, you have to be ruthless.

Early in the morning, before Mao Jue woke up, his courtyard door was already being knocked on. Last night, it was late in the night when he was on a mission. At this moment, Wen Meng was also sleepy, rubbing his swollen eyeballs, without Angrily, he opened the door and opened his mouth, yelling and cursing.

"Who is it? It's early in the morning, reporting the funeral?"

"Oh, Master Wen, you are the last general! The last general!"

On the day Mao Jue first took office, Shen Rong was domineering and aggressive, with a look of recklessness, but now, he really seemed to be a different person, the thick beard on his face smoothed out, and the blunt flesh It seemed to be softening too, nodding his head and bowing, and forced a piece of broken silver into Wen Meng's hand.

"It's a small thing, it's not a respect, I have an urgent matter to visit Lord Qianhu, and I hope Master Wen will let me know!"

It can be half a tael, which is equivalent to more than 500 yuan. Weighing the little money, Wenmeng's sleepiness disappeared suddenly. Like a close comrade in arms, he returned his fist with a pleasant smile.

"It's easy to say. Yesterday, Mr. Qian was still talking about you, Mr. Shen. Come with me, please! Please!"

With Wen Meng leading the way, Shen Baihu entered the room smoothly, and there was even a cup of tea. It was still the room where the business was discussed last time. Holding warm tea, sitting on a bench can comfortably wait, but Shen Rong Feeling a little flattered.

After waiting for about ten minutes, it seemed that he still didn't wake up, wearing his helmet on one side, Mao Jue wandered in as if he was sleepwalking, and hurriedly stood up, Shen Rong was just about to clasp his fists, but Mao Jue swayed as if he hadn't seen him Then he went to his Qianhu chair and sat down, yawned big, then rubbed his eyes and greeted him.

"Ha, old Shen, I haven't seen you in the past month, and you've become quite emaciated. Why don't you rest at home so early in the morning, what can you do with me?"

If you, a prodigal son, robbed me of my goods, who the hell is willing to come to you in the morning without cuddling your mother-in-law?

I greeted Mao Wenlong and Mrs. Shen in my heart. On the surface, this Shen Rong became more and more respectful. He didn't mention what happened last night. First, he put a box on the table. When he opened it, the inside was heavy. The five silver ingots in the box suddenly showed a smile, and the box was pushed in front of Mao Jue, who was full of remorse and accompanied the smile.

"The young one is a rough guy who doesn't know the rules. He has committed a crime. It's such a small thing. I wish you a high promotion, and I hope you will accept it!"

It should be about 50 taels of silver, and there should be 5 to [-] yuan in future generations. This amount is almost enough to cover a small project through the back door. Shen Rong really spent his money, and Mao Jue didn't show politeness to him. He closed it, stuffed the silver directly into his arms, and arched his fists in that half-dead look.

"Old Shen spent a lot of money, but I will be disrespectful!"

Shen Rong was a little dumbfounded, all the money was taken away, but Mao Jue drooped his head in a drowsy manner again, never mentioning the seized goods, is there such a brazen person?

If he didn't mention it, Shen Rong had to find a way to mention it by himself. There was a layer of white sweat on his forehead, and this guy moved forward a little bit in anticipation, and lowered his voice.

"Mr. Qian, there is one more thing. This morning, Li Yaowu and Zhang Meng's mansion went to the city with their money in their pockets. They should be going in the direction of Shen's mansion. Look."

"Oh, got it! Anything else?"

Still so dazed, Mao Jue yawned and responded casually.Originally, I thought it was big news that could draw Mao Jue's attention, but who knew it was such a reaction. All of a sudden, Shen Rong really had no choice but to salute aggrievedly.

"The general is fine, the general will retire, please rest at ease, Mr. Qian."

"and many more!"

Walking out in a daze, just as he reached the door, Mao Jue's greeting suddenly sounded behind him. He seemed to be more energetic. Under Shen Rong's expectant and fearful gaze back, Mao Jue lazily stood up from his chair. Get up, walk in front of him, slap him on the shoulder, but ask a question out of nowhere.

"Old Shen, whose flag are you carrying? Who do you work for?"

"Back to Lord Qianhu, the general will carry your flag and serve under your command!"

This is a matter of standing in line, and it has been decided to put the treasure on Mao Jue, Shen Rong hurriedly corrected his attitude, but who knew that this answer made Mao Jue shake his head heavily.

"wrong!"

"Ah? The general is dull, please show me!"

Amidst this guy bowing his head in surprise, Mao Jue shook his head and pulled the tiger skin and pulled the banner.

"Remember, you are carrying the banner of the Mao family and working hard for our Dongjiang Chief Commander Mao Wenlong Mao!"

"You don't even want to take that little thing back, but I'm not at a loss for you. In June and July, I will give you this money, and the price will be higher than what you gave to the Shen family. And if you leave the goods in the future, Just go to Lao Tzu to get them, and you won’t lose.”

"You have a lot of connections there. Anyway, you'll be fine for the next two months. Contact me with the grain sellers in North Korea. I have a lot of salted fish to sell. If you find a way, I will give you [-]% of the amount you sell!"

"What should you be busy with?"

Yawning, Mao Jue stretched his waist and walked out of the main office, lagging behind, but Shen Rong was dumbfounded.

Just now Mao Jue babbled a lot, but in fact the core idea is just one sentence, my father is Li Gang!Anyway, it means almost the same as this!

Although it's a bit vulgar, but future generations have to work hard to do anything, not to mention today, showing the relationship behind it can be regarded as a reassurance for Shen Rong!

Before Mao Jue followed Shen Rong's boat, he bent down and endured hardships. First, he gave him the impression of being a practical, hard-working, courteous corporal. Last night, he was soft and hard and showed his means. This person already has the ability to succeed. I can't figure out where Mao Jue came from. This Shen Rong didn't run to Shen Shikui in the city, but came to him with money to buy insurance. At this time, give him reassurance, give him a guarantee, It was enough to calm down this rough man and make him bow his head and work hard.

People are like this, if Mao Jue comes up, he will yell that Mao Wenlong is my father!Although Shen Rong has to save face, he can't help but see Mao Jue clearly in his heart. He is just a dude who relies on his father, but now, half a minute later, no matter what the goods are, he is still a dignified young man selling salted fish It was a bit strange, when he turned his head, Shen Rong hurried out of Qianhu Yamen to do something for Mao Jue.

In this thirteen thousand households, another one hundred households was caught by Mao Jue.

The Phi Island market is too small. On the first day, I heard that a large number of cheap salted fish were on the market, and many poor people came to buy them, but after two or three days, it was almost saturated, and the busy salted fish shop quickly became empty again. In addition to the butlers of a few big and rich merchants in the city who came to order and feed their servants, the people who came to buy fish began to become sporadic.

However, Mao Jue didn't care. There was a shortage of food this year. As long as it was food, he would never have to worry about selling it. At worst, he would go to North Korea and Shandong. With the current scale of the Sanxing Hundred Households, there is no need to worry about selling that little output.

In the next few days, Mao Jue still devoted all his thoughts to the households of the three surnames. As for the two hundred households, Zhang and Li, who had been robbed of their goods, they went to Shen Shikui's housekeeper to make a fuss, but they didn't There was something wrong with it, and in the end they had to let it go, and the two hundred households could only swallow their front teeth, thinking they were unlucky.

By the sea, several sentinel boats were paddling, and the big fish rushed up to the beach like that. Villagers had already caught up with the ropes and helped tie the boats. The big barrels of fish were brought down from the boat and pushed to the village.

I really want to thank Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang, because of his policy of banning the sea, the seafood in Huaxia is much richer than that of later generations. It has not gone deep into the ocean, and it is only three or four days away from Phi Island. Fishing in the sea, a day's harvest It can also have thousands of kilograms, and it can fill ten large barrels for about one meal.

Farming these days, one mu of land has worked hard for a whole year, and the harvested wheat is only about [-] kilograms. At this time, the sea is definitely a rich and large granary.

On the shore, the women in the village were more busy weaving fishing nets. The copper coins brought back by their men a few days ago had already shown them a way of making money. At this end, they unloaded the fish and rowed the sentinel boat. However, the military households in the circle hurriedly rowed out to sea again.

Mao Jue promised that if the output of [-] barrels can be reached this month, the family will be paid one tael of silver!

It's not just fish, under the window, a large pile of dark things are under the hot sun, reluctantly spitting out the water in the body, there are no sea cucumbers in these days, all of them are It is wild Liao ginseng, which is as valuable as later generations. A box of 23 dried sea cucumbers can be sold for a tael of silver in Shandong.
