Chapter 44 Jinshan Yinshan
After Magistrate Bai's trouble, the big merchants in Dengfeng County went to raise silver that night. Some small merchants simply joined forces to make a fortune, while others rushed to report their general accounts overnight. The next day, the big merchants in Xuzhou, Kaifeng Prefecture and Luoyang Prefecture all received news and rushed over day and night. The next night, all the inns in Dengfeng County were full, and there was no room for five taels of silver overnight.
What a business opportunity this is! I heard that two hundred taels of silver can now be obtained in more than ten taels of silver, and the stolen goods sold on site can be bought with justifiable reasons. Even if the victim finds out, there is no need to worry.
The Bai County Magistrate was afraid that someone would ruin his good deeds, so he released all the more than 100 public constables and stared at the black and white rivers in the world.
Among the local gangs, Shaolin Temple is happy to see this. There are many monks who are raising silver and preparing to make a deal. Due to the failure of the communication system reform of the Tianlong Gang, the young leader of the young gang is now determined to set up some Zhuge crossbows, preparing to gain an absolute advantage in the gang fight.
As for the Sandalwood Sect, it was also damaged by the investigation the last time. In short, the biggest threat was the foreign thieves. Captain Bear caught six thieves that day and sent them all to Zheng Laohu's sand farm.
Now he has implemented the title of "Green Forest Scary", but the brothers from Green Forest Road scolded him, while coming to make friends in person: "Senior Brother Xiong, you have sent me now. You must take care of me when the time comes! My brother's village is not very good. Just say it, and we will follow you immediately!"
He himself had no scruples. He could be said to be cruel and ruthless when he killed his former fellow practitioners, but as he killed more and more, he respected him more and more. He shouted and scolded Xiong Xiong Xiong, the world's most scumbag, while giving gifts. Now the gifts he received were already half a room, who would tell him that he had the right to do it?
On the third day, County Magistrate Bai originally wanted to sell all the goods, but unexpectedly, as soon as the sky was dawn, Shen Xiaowei rushed over: "We sisters got some more stolen goods!"
Bai Yunhang laughed repeatedly and said, "That's good! That's good! I'll take someone to pick you up in person!"
As a result, a large caravan came, with fifteen or sixteen Everbright carts, over a hundred mules and horses, and hundreds of porters. Bai Yunhang took a breath: "I made some... Miss Shen, your money is too big! Just the valuable things here, I guess I can be worth more than 200,000 taels of silver. Although we are selling stolen goods, it is still no problem to get 60,000 to 70,000 taels! But does the merchants in Dengfeng County have so much money? Maybe they can get sold to Luoyang Prefecture!"
County Magistrate Bai was very happy. He organized the sale of stolen goods this time, so he participated in the sharing of the stolen goods. Whether it was General Yu Xiao or Shen Xiaowei, he had to give up a large sum of silver.
Shen Xiaowei smiled and said, "Who told us sisters to be good? When the friends on the road heard that we had a half-percent increase, they were all very happy! Just like the New Year, I would rather not have cash or deposit and hand over the stolen goods in the warehouse to us!"
But the fact is far from this. Although these copycats are gangsters, when they meet General Yu Xiao, Bai Yunhang and the seven widows of Luohe join forces to get rid of the black man, who doesn’t have much fear?
General Yu Xiao’s Tiger Wing Army broke through five mountain villages, and even the big mountain villages such as Baima Village were also broken. The friends in Green Forest were frightened, although the Luohe sisters repeatedly said: "These things have nothing to do with us... We adhere to the morality of Green Forest and will never collude with the court's hawks to deal with Green Forest colleagues!"
But anyone with discerning eyes knows that if these counterfeit villages were not for the Luohe sisters, they would not have been so easy to break up. In history, the Luohe sisters used the government as their backers. On the one hand, they were on the ground to share the spoils, and on the other hand, they helped the counterfeit villages to communicate with the government. They were not pure Green Forest figures.
Moreover, these five counterfeit villages either ended under the banner of Geng Dazui or moved between the two sides. The Luohe sisters were Chunxin who used them to attack them. This killing chickens has a very good effect for the monkey to show, but everyone is afraid!
Not to mention anything else, there are more than 400 brothers in Baima Village alone, including fortifications that have been worked hard for many years, as well as masters like Geng Zhongming, nearly a hundred old fried dough sticks who are good at fighting, and also prepare a large number of weapons and grain tools in advance, but it was finished in half a day. Apart from one Geng Zhongming escaped, there was not even a scum left. Although it was a great student who shared the same hatred for the enemy, who dared to be the first to be the first!
The Luohe sisters colluded with the government army to harm the Green Lin brothers. This is certainly unauthorized, but their own village has to survive. If they offend the Luohe sisters, they say they dare not kill the government army to the gate of the village tomorrow. I heard that even the Huyi Army has used it this time. If they have such a strong backer, let's think twice before doing it.
After thinking twice, everyone was determined to lose to the Luohe sisters. Now the Luohe sisters are extremely powerful. They just talk casually on the Green Forest Road, and they were cursing and working hard.
Just like these stolen goods, although the Luohe sisters agreed to increase the price by half, but they did not pay the cash currency, but instead put the white sticks in it, and then smiled and said, "Brother! Sorry, if you use up all the money, just use the white sticks to pay for a few days. When the price is sold, you will make up for the brothers!"
The white sticks cannot be used as money! Although Wu Laoliu is so sad that he is very worried, he has taken out the silver from snowflakes. Before he gets the money, the representative sent to the door is arrogant: "You need cash... OK! Wait for me to get it, I will take it to your village tomorrow!"
The meaning of this is very obvious: "Don't give you shamelessness! We have settled this stolen goods! If you don't give it, wait for our sisters to bring the official army to the door! You will think about it before you can talk about it!"
There are many stolen goods accumulated over the years in each of the villages. The Luohe sisters are very familiar with Green Forest Road. This time, it can be said that most of the precious stolen goods accumulated over the years in Henan Green Forest Road were plundered, but the actual silver was only more than 8,000 taels, and the rest were all taken by white strips.
According to their sisters’ private statement, “Black eats black? What are our sisters? We use receipts to pay for it. This is called eating black!”
But who dares to say the word "no"? Although everyone is fighting for life all day long and doing business without capital, they still want this life.
Geng Dazui's dream of expanding its strength and unifying the Green Forest in Henan was almost completely shattered. In addition to the four or five clerks separated from Huzui Village, Geng Dazui could control only seventeen or eighteen clerks in Queshan area in southern Henan. However, this time, the Luohe sisters plundered the stolen goods to Dengzhou, and Geng Dazui didn't even dare to let one of them go. Fortunately, his third clerk Xu Zhen was brave and resourceful, and personally led two teams to demonstrate near Dengzhou, which scared the people sent by the Luohe sisters away.
But the Luohe sisters still returned with a full load and said with a spring breeze on their faces: "Brother! As long as this thing is sold at a good price, it will definitely be delivered to you..."
Several village owners wiped their tears: "Sister, you must understand the difficulties in the village! This bowl of rice is not delicious, everyone is still waiting for the money to celebrate the New Year..."
The one who sent to Dengfeng County today was the largest stolen goods from the Luohe sisters, which was the tribute from several large mountain villages in northern and western Henan. However, the Luohe sisters were also very powerful and actually brought the road guide sent by Su Huiban. With this thing, they all walked through it safely.
The Bai County Magistrate and General Yu were happy, but Dengfeng County could not find so many warehouses. The Bai County Magistrate said with a wry smile: "It can't be placed in the open air, like this silk is over when it rains! We rented more than ten private houses and vacated the county government! But we still can't save so many things!"
General Yu smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? You are afraid of not being able to get a house! You are not afraid of anything else, you are afraid of someone coming to steal it. Miss Chen, I will send you a flag to you!"
This is also very excited. He also made 10% profit from the stolen goods of the Luohe sisters. Although he himself was very frank about the money, the Tiger Yijun had a bottomless pit of 60,000 to 70,000 taels of silver every year. He could only rely on forcibly collecting it from the local area. Now he could get a large amount of money, which at least would give the Tiger Yijun some of its wealth.
The group of merchants were already anxious to see County Magistrate Bai appearing, and the gang was already anxious to wait. At this time, the Tongzong Master who came from Kaifeng Prefecture had already arrived.
This magistrate was the Su Hui Office and the Prefect Lin Gong. He was afraid that Bai Yunhang and General Yu would swallow up the portion they deserved. After receiving the news, he sent it out overnight. Before leaving, Su Hui Office said a few words: "Prime Minister Chen Tong, there are still some places in this province... It depends on whether you are doing it beautifully this time!"
But this magistrate is really a live advertisement for selling stolen goods. The official documents are dead, but this magistrate is a sixth-rank official and is also a top figure in the mansion. He is two levels higher than Bai Yunhang. After further inquiring, Chen Tong replied: "After the orders of the Suhui Association and the Prefect Lin Gong, we will help the Bai County Magistrate sell stolen goods and make a certification..."
Su Association! Prefect Lin! With these two officials behind the back, and with this live magistrate, who doesn’t believe it!
Therefore, as soon as the county magistrate Bai appeared, dozens of merchants had already rushed over and broke through the human wall carefully arranged by Captain Xiong. Everyone surrounded the county magistrate Bai and hunched their hands and talked non-stop.
"Mr. Bai, here is the shopkeeper of Jinfu Business Company in Luoyang. Please take care of the small account!"
"Mr. The villain is the shopkeeper of the Shenjia Piaohao in Xuzhou..."
"Mr. County Magistrate... I am the same surname as you, please take care of me!"
"Mr. Bai...Mr. Bai! There is also a beautiful daughter in the next family!"
"Mr. Bai! I have money!"
County Magistrate Bai was surrounded by these merchants and couldn't even turn around. He didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Captain Xiong personally brought thirty public personnel to snatch County Magistrate Bai, but his official uniform had been torn several times.
Seeing this, County Magistrate Bai was not afraid of anything. He stood in front of the county government and shouted loudly: "General Yu Xiao’s suppression of bandits this time and seized a large number of stolen goods! One of them was announced by the publication of the list of no one claimed it for many days. With the approval of the Su Association, it was specially sold in Dengfeng!"
As he said that, the magistrate Bai asked a few masters to carry out a few stolen goods and sell them in bidding. The reserve price was extremely low and the highest price was set. A few items were sold soon, and then the Tongzhang took the money and delivered the goods in the same order.
Everyone was in great interest. Although the price of selling stolen goods today is not as good as the night before yesterday, the price is so attractive. Even the highest price is 30% or 40% or even half the price is cheaper than the purchase price of their own business.
The method of the Bai County Magistrate is to shout prices step by step, and those with the highest price will get it, but if someone shouts the limited highest price, the goods will be shouted at the highest price.
As a result, it turned out to be something that was pretty. People often shouted to the highest price at the beginning, but no half of the item was sold in the afternoon, and even some of them were difficult to get rid of, and they reached the highest price of 60% to 70%.
Everyone reacted enthusiastically. When they took photos of things, they would immediately pay the money to take off their coats and carry the goods with a few friends. The county magistrate Bai did not need to hire a teacher, rope, carriage, etc. to bring them all, and then quickly transport them home to make a good fortune!
This is not a purchase of goods, it is just a snatch! But everyone is very excited to grab them!
However, the procedures were complicated, especially the judge's scored no bad results for the incoming and outgoing silver. That afternoon, a total of more than 11,000 taels were brought in.
Seeing that it was getting late, everyone was in great enthusiasm. He was afraid that something would happen. He waved his hand and said, "That's all today! Continue tomorrow!"
General Yu Xiao, County Magistrate Bai, Shen Xiaowei and Chen Tong paid the money under the oil lamp. Apart from the more than 3,000 taels to be handed over to Su Hui Office and Prefect Lin, the remaining more than 7,000 taels because today's sale is mostly under General Yu Xiao's name. He only earned more than 3,000 taels, Shen Xiaowei took more than 2,000 taels, and Bai Yunhang also received more than 1,600 taels.
He earned more than 1,600 taels of silver in a day. County Magistrate Bai was extremely helpful. He finally felt a little clear-headed. He immediately recruited a group of officials and said, "This time, the county has also brought a lot of benefits to the sale of stolen goods! But everyone is also very hardworking. Not to mention anything else, there are five brothers who died in the line of duty, and there are dozens of brothers who have won the lottery! Today, Chen Tong gave me 1,600 taels of silver notes, but I dare not take them! I have to think about my brothers more!"
"Apart from the previous burial expenses, each of the brothers who died in the line of duty was given a pension of 100 taels, each of the brothers who were seriously injured was twenty taels, and each of the persons who were slightly injured had ten taels! This matter was handled by Captain Xiong and Clerk Mao, but he was not greedy for a penny, and everyone's eyes were lit up!"
When I walk by the river often, I can’t help but walk on my shoes. It’s hard to keep my life in the line of duty or the lottery. The public was very excited: “Thank you! Thank you!”
"Everyone has worked very hard, the New Year is coming soon! This time, the brothers in the yamen have worked hard, each of whom gives ten taels of silver, and the brothers who go out to attack the mountain village will give another ten taels... Each of the brothers who have made meritorious rewards... The headmaster, Dianshi, etc. also have rewards..."
