One Piece of Song Dynasty

"Uncle An, how much profit did the restaurants and shops make in the past month or so?"

“两家酒楼纯盈利160000贯；金卡会员新增50人，得钱250000贯，银卡会员新增80人，得钱160000贯；五座商铺纯盈利80000贯。.1kanshu”

"Yes, I understand. Uncle An, please find out all the bad landlords and powerful men in Hui'an County."

"Everything has been investigated. This is the list and the testimonies of some people."

"Okay, I understand." Looking at the list and the testimonies of the people, I was finally ready to take action.

"Sir, this is the letter brought by Gao Ping's carrier pigeon."

"Well, I haven't heard from Gao Ping for a long time, and I don't know how the restaurants in Tokyo are doing? Let me see what Gao Ping wrote in this letter."

Through Gao Ping's letter, I learned that their group arrived in Tokyo only half a month before the Chinese New Year. The land price in Tokyo is expensive. It cost two thousand taels of gold just to buy the restaurant. The one bought was not in a good location. Although it was a three-story building, It is not as big as the restaurants in Quanzhou. It is currently under renovation and will not open until the first month of the year.

Gao Ping also said in the letter that he visited Taishi Cai a few years ago. From his description, I can roughly imagine the scene at that time.

Going back to a year ago, one day Gao Ping visited Cai Mansion with a thousand taels of gold dedicated to Master Cai.

"This little brother, I am the retainer of Mr. Li Xinli, the magistrate of Hui'an County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Road. I am here to visit Grand Master Cai today. Please ask me to go in and inform you."

"Okay, you wait, I'll go in and report." The boy came out after a quarter of an hour.

"Okay, come in with me."

"Yes, you two should be careful when carrying things. This box contains a New Year gift for Master Cai." Gao Ping and others followed the servants and met Master Cai in the study.

"I heard that you are a retainer of Li Xin, the magistrate of Hui'an?"

"Yes, the villain is."

"Why did you meet me this time?"

"I'm here to give the Grand Master a New Year's gift on behalf of the Patriarch. Grand Master, please see that this is a thousand taels of gold that the Patriarch has given to you."

"Well, your head is pretty good. You can still remember me when you become an official."

"The head of the family has said that his ability to become an official depends entirely on the support of Grand Master Cai. It is necessary to be filial to Grand Master Cai."

"Well, I wonder how your family is doing in Hui'an County. Did you encounter any trouble?"

"If I return to Grand Master, everything is fine in Hui'an County. Thank you for your concern."

"Well, I wonder if the head of your family wants to be promoted?"

"The head of the family said that he would be satisfied if he could become the magistrate of Hui'an even if he did not come from the imperial examination. In fact, the head of the family only came to the Grand Master to seek an official position for the convenience of maritime trade. He did not dare to cause more trouble to the Grand Master."

"Well, I already know your head's wishes."

"Grandmaster, the master of my family has opened a restaurant in Tokyo called Tianxiang House. I will be the shopkeeper of this restaurant from now on. I dare to ask Grandmaster to take care of me in the future."

"Okay, I know. If anything happens in the future, you can come to me."

"Thank you, Grand Master, that little man will leave first."

With the help of Master Cai, Gao Ping finally gained a foothold in Tokyo.

"Uncle An, Gao Ping is doing well in Tokyo."

"Well, yes, Gao Ping has been doing well since he became a restaurant owner."

"Well, Uncle An, have the children and the teachers from the Mariners team been invited?"

"Well, classes have already started."

"Uncle An, please hire another teacher for the children in Xiangbing camp."

"Okay, we'll do it when we get home."

"Well, Uncle An, just go back if you have nothing to do. I'll go to the Xiang Barracks to have a look."

"Okay, then a certain family will go back first."

After the housekeeper left, I took Lao Wang to the Xiang Barracks with the list and testimony.

When we arrived at the Xiang Barracks, the barracks had been completely renovated. Everything on the walls of the house was brand new. It was also very clean and tidy. The Xiang soldiers were training. They were all young and strong, not the old and the weak. I saw Lao Wang and me. After Zhang Hu came, the soldiers were able to rest, and Lao Wang himself ran to play with the soldiers. The soldiers were already very familiar with Lao Wang, and they often played together.

"Zhang Hu, how is the training at Xiangba camp?"

"It's almost the same. Although it can't compare with the Western Army that has been on the battlefield, Xiao Guo is better than any other Xiang Army, even better than the ordinary Forbidden Army. The soldiers are training well every day now, and they are all I am very grateful to the host family for their generous treatment.”

"Have all the troops been gathered?"

"Well, it's all ready a year ago."

"Okay, an army that has never seen blood will never become an elite no matter how well it is trained. This time I have given you and the Xiang Barracks a chance to see blood."

"Oh, I wonder what kind of opportunity the young master brings to us."

"This is a list of powerful landlords who have aroused public anger in Hui'an County. This time I want your Xiang military camp to eradicate them completely."

"Yes, sir, don't worry, we will eradicate them completely."

"We'll start taking action after the first lunar month in half a month. We'll take action at night. Don't take it lightly. These powerful landlords all have guardians. You must be well prepared in the past two months and try to capture them all without killing anyone."

"Yes, young master, I understand."

Just like that, the sky over the small town of Hui'an began to gather clouds, and a bloody storm was about to fall over the small town.

At midnight on the first night of the first lunar month, drums sounded in the camp.

"Quickly, everyone, get up and gather, get your weapons, quick, quick." Everyone shouted.

Within a quarter of an hour, the soldiers were all here.

"We have a big operation tonight. This is the first big operation in our Xiang Barracks in Hui'an County. I hope everyone will cheer up. Tonight is the first time you will see blood. A certain person is now starting to issue an arrest list. ." Zhang Hu said seriously.

Zhang Hu distributed the list to several Dutou. After hearing the arrest list that each Dutou thought of, the soldiers began to talk about it. Most of the soldiers in the Xiangbing camp were Hui'an locals, and they were all surprised.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. The people on this list are all landlords and tyrants in Hui'an County who make the people angry and dare not speak out. We will eradicate them tonight. I hope you don't underestimate them. These landlords and tycoons are all Those who have nursing homes, I hope that after this operation is over, I can see you all return safely. This is also the expectation of the magistrate. You have been training for three months. Today is the time to show the results of your training. Anyone who encounters Any resistance will be shot to death, and no one, whether old, weak, women or children, can be let go."

At the same time at the county government office, I asked the cook to prepare a table of delicious dishes.

"Lu Fei, go and invite Sun Xian Cheng and Master Qian to me." I said to a guard beside me.

"Yes, young master, I will go and invite Mr. Sun County Cheng and Mr. Qian over here."
