Old things in Nancheng

Wang Zimo's depressed mood did not recover until the end of the war half a month later.

This time the Jin soldiers attacked extremely violently, at any cost, Marshal Wu Jie hurriedly mobilized [-] troops to support Xingyuan Mansion, and General Guan even pulled [-] prisoners from the prison camp to help defend the city.Although the prisoners were brave and fierce fighters, most of them had no military training. Although they were just defending the city and throwing fire oil stones down, the crossbow of the golden soldiers pierced through their wounds with unstoppable momentum. Physically, almost none of the two thousand prisoners survived.

The prison camp was mostly empty, and the guards also suffered heavy casualties. Wang Zimo looked at the mountain of corpses and blood on the city wall, without any expression on his face, and calmly directed the remaining prisoners in the prison camp to clean up the battlefield.

numbness?Still can't say that.They are all Chinese and compatriots. They sacrificed their lives for the country and should be respected.But the [-] soldiers defending the city actually fought fiercely with the [-] gold soldiers for half a month, and ended in a disastrous victory, how can it not be embarrassing.

Sun Tzu said: "Therefore, the law of using troops is to encircle them if they are ten; The capture of the enemy."

"I'm ashamed too~"

One will hear Jiang Shangpei's low voice, cover his face and run away.

"Brother, don't think too much." Wang Zimo comforted.

"If I hadn't had such generals in the Great Song Dynasty, how could I have lost half of my country!" Jiang Shangpei raised his head slightly and said sadly.

Jiang Shangpei is not a commoner like Wang Zimo. He is a literati who has read poetry and books and has a strong patriotism. status quo.

Wang Zimo understood Jiang Shangpei's mood, and walked away silently, taking every step carefully, avoiding the corpses on the ground.

The corpses were loaded into vehicles and buried in the outskirts. Small earthen bags stood densely in the wasteland. There was only a simple wooden sign in front of the earthen bags with the person's name engraved on it.

The ashamed general still dreamed of death with the luck of surviving. Those who survived were the survivors. They had long known the cruelty of the battlefield, and carnivaled every day as if it was the last day of their lives.

Xingyuan Mansion was obviously bustling again because of the victory. There was a constant flow of customers in restaurants, brothels, gambling houses and theaters every day. Many wealthy people fled to Xingyuan Mansion in the surrounding counties that were implicated. The business of Caishengzhuang was also getting better and better. up.

"Master, in the first half of the month the business of our village plummeted due to the war, but this half of the month is much better than usual due to the gathering of nobles in the city." Shopkeeper Zhang said happily.

Wang Zimo flipped through the ledger casually, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper Zhang."

"Master, what you said, without you, I don't know where I would be in despair. Now that I go out, someone will call me 'big shopkeeper'." Zhang Zhang's face is full of complacency, In the meantime, there was undisguised respect for Wang Zimo, and he said: "Since Steward Wang visited the officials of the yamen with your master's name stickers, we people have straightened our backs a lot when we went out. In the eyes of those powerful people in the past, Seeing us now, it's so hot, don't mention it, Lao Zhang, I feel terrified when I think about it."

"Hehe, shopkeeper Zhang was just joking. My Wang family is only a second-class family in Yanguan County. How can those state government officials look up to me? If you talk about ruling, let alone the Bao family and Fan family, the Jiang family alone is better than me." Wang Jiaqiang, those people are being polite to us, just for the sake of General Yue Feiyue." Wang Zimo said modestly.

"I heard that the emperor has moved south to Jiankang, which is close to Xiangyang, and General Yue is stationed there. Isn't it very attractive to the emperor?" Zhang Zhang said.

The two talked for a while, Wang Fulai came to find Wang Zimo with a letter from his family, and shopkeeper Zhang withdrew.

"Little Second Young Master, Second Master's letter from home." Wang Fulai handed the unopened letter to Wang Zimo.

Wang Zimo did not avoid suspicion, but opened it directly in front of Wang Fulai.Wang Qinian is a very serious person, and the family letters he wrote are well-organized, but between the lines, Wang Zimo can feel a touch of love.

Wang Fulai watched Wang Zimo read calmly, guessing another letter from Wang Qinian to himself in his arms, he couldn't help hesitating.

These days, Wang Fulai observed Wang Zimo silently. After all, Wang Qinian's plan was to take Wang Zimo back to take over the Wang family.The huge royal family has intricate relationships and intertwined interests. It is not easy for the main family's legitimate son to control it, let alone an illegitimate son like Wang Zimo who has no name and no role.Wang Fulai knew that many subordinates who had followed Wang Qinian for many years had no confidence in Wang Zimo, and even disapproved of Wang Qinian's decision, and Wang Fulai himself was the same.

But the observations of these days startled Wang Fulai.

A simple rucksack with a gold seal on one side, these are all the things that Wang Zimo brought, if it were someone else, he would probably have died in the prison camp long ago.However, Wang Zimo was imprisoned, and he didn't give up on himself, nor did he resign himself to his fate. It was because of his ingenious layout and extraordinary courage that he not only lived happily in the prison camp, but also ran the largest silk and satin factory in the city.

Caishengzhuang, now Wang Zimo has the final say.Joint stock and capital, the cooperators are all people with deep background and rich family, but Wang Zimo is able to control the power, and let the partners readily accept it. How can this method not shock Wang Fulai.

Wang Fulai still didn't know that those partners were unable to leave the prison camp because of Wang Zimo's tricks. If he knew the "good deeds" that Wang Zimo had done in the prison camp, he would probably accept his head and worship the Lord directly.

But based on these, Wang Fulai has already started to appreciate Wang Zimo, and he treats Wang Zimo with a lot more respect than when he first came here. Wang Fulai's idea is very simple, Wang Zimo is capable, we old guys will help him, just like serving Wang Qinian That kind of loyalty, after all, can't let the old master's life's hard work be destroyed.

"Guard Wang, the second master said in his letter that you are the person he trusts the most, so let me rely on you a lot." Wang Zimo looked up and said after reading the letter.

"Little Second Young Master, this old slave has been following the Second Master since he was a child. He has no skills, he only knows how to be loyal." Wang Fulai bowed his head and cupped his hands.

"Loyalty is the greatest skill." Wang Zimo smiled lightly and said, "I have something urgent here, I wonder if I can trouble you."

"The second young master has just ordered, there is no need to be so polite to this old slave."

"In that case, then I'll be straightforward. I have a list here, which is the family members of the shopkeepers in the village. Please find a way to send them to Yanguan County." Wang Zimo handed over the list.

Wang Fulai took it with both hands, looked carefully, and found that there were three families on it, including shopkeeper Zhang, a total of more than a dozen people, all of whom were confidantes of Wang Zimo, and it would not be difficult to send these people back to Yanguan County, but Wang Zimo's Thoughts, let Wang Fulai make a good guess.

Seeing that Wang Fu was serious, Wang Zimo couldn't help frowning, and said with a light smile, "I can only rest assured if I leave this matter to you. The family members have already made preparations, and they will be able to leave soon."

"Second Young Master, this old slave has agreed to this matter, but please rest assured that there will be no accidents on the road. It's just... this old slave wants to ask, how should these people be settled when they arrive in Yanguan County?" Wang Fulai asked.

"Send it to the lady, and I will repair a book, and the lady will make arrangements for it." Wang Zimo said.

Hearing this, Wang Fulai frowned even tighter. Why did he feel uneasy? Shouldn't he be sent back to Wangjiazhuang to be arranged by the second master?

Wang Fulai couldn't figure out Wang Zimo's intentions, so he had to put it aside for the time being, took out a large stack of bills from his pocket, handed it to Wang Zimo and said, "Little Second Young Master, here is 5000 taels of silver, and the Second Master gave it to you."

Wang Zimo looked at the thick stack of bills on the case, and his heart was filled with joy. The 5000 taels of silver solved her urgent need, and it was just right to buy Wu Shengquan.Wang Zimo first gave 2000 taels of silver and a dozen bolts of silk, but found that Wu Shengquan was a bottomless pit that couldn't be filled at all. Now that she threw in another 5000 taels, she couldn't believe that Wu Shengquan was not moved.

After Wang Fulai went down, Wang Zimo immediately sent someone to Qingfengnian to make an appointment with Zhao Xian and Wu Shengquan in Dongcheng to visit brothels tonight!On the other hand, he took shopkeeper Zhang and went to Chunhualou.

When is the spring flower and autumn moon, just wait for the willow tip on the moon.

In the Chunhua Building, there is a girl named Qiuyue, a beautiful woman from Yandi, with a heroic posture and a good drum player. She stands out among the weak women of Yingying and Yanyan.It's a pity, the price is too high, Wu Shengquan is coveted, drooling and nympho, jealously watching other wealthy men become the guests of Miss Chunhua, what a word of hatred!

Chunhualou does not do business during the day, but Wang Zimo, as the head of Caishengzhuang, can be warmly welcomed into the building by the old bustard.Who makes the material of Caishengzhuang good, and who makes the embroiderers of Caishengzhuang capable of tailoring? People depend on clothes. Girls wearing clothes produced by Caishengzhuang are not to blind the eyes of benefactors. Even if the heart can't move, the money can't fly into the building.

"Master, you can be counted as coming to our building. You don't know that the girls in our building are looking forward to you every day, looking forward to the stars and the moon." A cute little dimple, her eyes are poisonous, and she was about to pounce on him to wipe the oil, but when she saw that this elegant and calm young man frowned slightly, his slender waist was able to turn more than half a circle at such a critical moment, and he kissed Zhang affectionately. Shopkeeper, she said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhang, last time I relied entirely on your help, otherwise the girls in our building would have no clothes to wear during the Lantern Festival."

Shopkeeper Zhang is obviously a veteran, he grabbed the old bustard's waist and said with a smile, "Chun'er, we men actually like the most... women don't wear clothes."

"You old thing, you can tell it's not a good thing at first glance. I don't know you men yet. Although I like our nakedness, but without the process of undressing, you don't feel good anymore." The old bustard patted the shopkeeper away coquettishly. hand, leading the two into the private room.

Wang Zimo looked at the two flirting with no one else, his face was tense, his face looked calm, but his little face was red.She suddenly thought of Lin Zhilan, she would tease herself like this when she was naughty, every time she was at a loss, she couldn't speak, she didn't know where to put her hands, she just looked at Lin Zhilan with a blushing face in a daze.Lin Zhilan always said that she was cute and stupid back then, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she can't help feeling sour and sweet.

"Chun'er, my young master is here. I have something to ask, and I would like to ask Chun'er for help." Seeing that Wang Zimo's face was blushing, shopkeeper Zhang could only cough lightly and get serious.
