Chapter 48: Yun's way of doing business
Chapter 48: How Yun’s business is done
It was already three o'clock when Qian Duoduo returned to the inn.
Liang San gave him money, Yunchun and Yunhua returned to the small yard, and he got a pot of wine and sat in the back garden of the inn and drank alone.
At the fifth o'clock in the morning, a boy in blue came to Liang San tiredly, raised the wine pot and drank the wine inside.
Liang San smiled and said, "The purpose has been achieved?"
The young man in blue said, "The wealth of the salt merchant is astonishing."
"How many stores have you snatched?"
"I originally wanted to grab six companies, but after grabbing three companies, I found that our ship could only carry the goods of three companies."
"Have you been to the house of the prefect Panda?"
The young man shook his head and said, "We must strictly follow the order. If the plan has been formulated, it cannot be destroyed. Especially when transporting goods outside the city, it is a fine job and no mistakes can be made."
"Who are you going to borrow this time?"
"Li Dingguo!"
"Huh, why is it him?"
"This is an order from Lantian to exaggerate Li Dingguo into a giant bandit who does everything and is ready to stand on his own at any time.
This doesn't matter to us.
Lantian County needs to expand. Expansion requires a large amount of money to provide certain means of production for the people who invest in our country. You also know that families with four families with only one pair of pants cannot be self-sufficient, not to mention the necessary things such as reservoirs, ponds, water trucks, farm tools, seeds, and oxen.
If those people gradually become rich, they will not become a drag on my Lantian County, money is indispensable.
The county magistrate cannot always suck blood from the people of Lantian County and feed it to those poor people. Over time, Lantian County will be sucked dry."
Liang San shook his empty wine pot and sighed: "You group of scholars have started to be robbers, and we real robbers have no way to go.
Zhang Bingzhong dug up the imperial tomb and Li Hongji robbed Fengyang. The two bandits actually had a quarrel with the eunuch for some drum and musical instruments.
Grandpa didn't know what to say.
Liu Dixin, you said, what would my young master do when he encounters such a thing?"
Liu Dixin grinned and said, "I don't understand what Zhang Bingzhong and Li Hongji want those drum instruments to do with eunuchs. Do you have to watch singing and dancing every day?
Judging from the behavior of the county magistrate in the past, these things are not given for nothing. What do we value is gold, silver, food, and various materials. For the county magistrate, those drum and musical instruments and the manure that the half-human and half-demon eunuchs have not yet thrown into the ground.
However, Mr. Liang, we still need beauty. If a person like me wants to have a beautiful wife, he will expect the county master to marry in the future."
Liang San looked at Liu Dixin's amazing front teeth and nodded, "You are just a good product worth 40 kilograms of millet, and it would be too much to pay attention to your appearance."
The story of forty kilograms of millet has long become a big joke at Yushan Academy.
It is also a symbol of self-deprecation for many students.
However, there seems to be some changes in the past two years. When some young people entered Yushan Academy, even if their family was rich, they would definitely ask the Academy to give him forty kilograms of millet...
Liu Dixin knelt on the carrots and laughed, "Forty kilograms of millet, the county lord has made a lot of money. This time I used my strategy, seven thousand taels of gold, more than sixty thousand taels of silver, and gold jewelry, and gold and jewelry are not included. The county lord has already recovered its capital."
Liang San chuckled contemptuously and said, "I'm done paying it back? You think beautifully. You'll just pay off your debts little by little in your life. Think about it, if the young master doesn't want you, you..."
Liu Dixin nodded and said, "This is reasonable. When I was squatting at Yang Yufeng's house today, there were two beggars lying at the door of his house. One of them looked very similar to me. I was thinking at the time that if I hadn't sold it to the county magistrate, I guess my luck would be the best way to him...
So, when I was silenced, I took a very light action and didn't let him suffer. I even borrowed his head."
"How did you do it?" Liang San immediately became interested. As a veteran bandit from the Yun family, he still didn't know much about these young people.
Liu Dixin said: "There is nothing new. Choose some salt merchants' homes that live in secluded and have less complex populations. They enter fifty people at a time, kill the servants to protect the hospital, and hang a sign "Keep the guests behind closed doors for three days" at the door.
Then the head of the family was forced to hand over the hidden gold in the family. Some people were lucky enough to leave, and the other people guarded them for two days. After the hidden gold was transported out of Yangzhou City, they would release their whole family.
One hundred people could walk six companies in one night according to the assembly line assignment taught in the academy. Unexpectedly, the salt merchants in Yangzhou were so fat that we could only walk three companies, so the brothers responsible for transporting money complained."
"Where has the money been shipped?" Liang San was most interested in this question.
Liu Dixin licked his big teeth and said, "Mr. Liang San shouldn't ask, even if I ask, I don't know. We are only responsible for the actions, and another group of people are responsible for the transportation."
Liang San sighed and said, "What a pity, there are too many salt merchants in Yangzhou City."
Liu Dixin smiled and said, "After this incident is over, Yangzhou salt merchants will definitely recruit servants, and a group of powerful Guanzhong swordsmen will come to apply for the recruitment.
Things will be easier then.
Expansion in Lantian County requires money and huge amounts of gold and silver, so we cannot kill all these salt merchants with strong profitability, which is not good for us."
"Didn't hurt anyone?"
"Of course, it was not hurt by the financial owners. When they saw the beautiful female relatives, the brothers drooled at most, and they didn't even touch them. The women went to take care of them."
"Do you have a woman?" Liang San widened his eyes.
Liu Dixin shook his head and said that he had no common language with an outdated old robber like Liang San.
He was taught a lesson by Liang San last night. Qian Duoduo slept alone today. After washing up under He Chang's service, he came to the front hall and waited for Liang San to give her an explanation.
It was Liang San who said that people from Guanzhong took revenge for only night. She wanted to know how Liang San, who had drunk all night in the back garden last night, helped her get revenge.
He Chang's eyes were dark. Last night, she had never been quiet since she heard that this group of people killed the escort leader of the prefect's family with muskets.
Qian Duoduo had just drunk a small bowl of Tremella lotus seed soup, and heard the noise outside the inn and the sound of a large group of people running.
The inn also seems to be overwhelming.
Yun Chun was about to go out to see what was going on, so Liang San walked in and said to Qian Duoduo: "Last night, three salt merchants in Yangzhou City were blackmailed and more than 70 guards died.
Now, the prefect of Yangzhou is seeking the whole city.”
Qian Duoduo said: "Did no one ask what we did last night?"
Liang San smiled and said, "If you want to suppress a storm, the best way is to create another huge wave.
Compared to the fact that we killed an escort last night, Hou, Yang, and Zhou San’s family were looted and all of them were things that the prefect needs to urgently solve."
Qian Duoduo said: "In this way, will the life of that prefect Pan be difficult?"
Liang San smiled and said, "Returning to the hometown is the best result. The salt merchant Hou Daqiu had an older brother who served as the Grand Duke Shaoqing in the capital. The salt merchant Yang Huaili's uncle was the censor of the Southeast Dao, and the salt merchant Zhou Duncai's uncle was Zhou Huairen, the Nanjing Minister of Rites.
Within six days, if Panda cannot recover the money lost by these three families, or he will make up for it, he will have to wait for impeachment and dismissal.
I have sent the bronze medal from the Qin Prince's Mansion to the Pan family. I think in a while, Mrs. Qian will be sent to us by the Prefect Pan."
Qian Duoduo looked at Liang San and said, "Who is the thief who robbed other people's wealth?"
"It is under the command of Li Dingguo, a giant gangster who is raising military funds to attack Xiangyang. The leader is a disgusting bandit with a pair of big teeth, named the Rolling Dragon, and is the number one strong general under the command of Li Dingguo, who is the leader.
In two days, three salt merchants stole the officials. The officials said that the loss of these three families was no less than 100,000 taels of gold!"
Qian Duoduo naturally heard what Liang San said, and couldn't help but feel a little sweet in his heart.
This money itself is the opening money that Yun Zhao prepared for her.
The next step will be to Nanjing, two hundred miles away, to build a transfer station there, and to purchase a large amount of supplies needed by Yun's family.
When she came out, she didn't have much money. These days, except for thinking about revenge, she was full of how to make money.
She had already seen it clearly along the way. Jiangnan's money-making methods have long been arranged clearly. If outsiders cannot integrate into the local official circle, it would be a dream to make money here.
Perhaps under this situation, only transactions without capital can gain enough benefits in this circle.
