Chapter 291 Calculation
"Two guests, I'm really embarrassed. If Jun Ye comes to check the store, please take care of it!"
The Wang brothers also have many friends in Sichuan. If they want to live in Chengdu, they can find several large houses, and living for a month will definitely not be a problem. In the past, they lived almost like this when they came. However, this time they chose to live in an inn. The reason is that they naturally don’t want people to know any news. Because if people know that the Shanxi merchants are going to surrender, the money deposited by the big merchants in the money house will probably be immediately moved. They can’t afford this loss.
"Check the store? What store is it?" Wang Qianshou asked the shopkeeper.
"Who knows? It was said that it was the search of several criminals in Chongqing Prefecture, and even the Green Camp soldiers were alarmed..." the shopkeeper replied.
"Green Camp soldiers?" The constables in Chengdu Prefecture were all dead. Wang Qian thought dissatisfied. However, since he wanted to investigate, he had to investigate. The people would not fight with the officials! So, he waved his hand and asked the bodyguards who had heard the movement to not be nervous, so he sat back and continued to have tea with Wang Qianhe, waiting for the officers and soldiers who were searching one by one in the room to come up. The bodyguards under their command blocked the door of the guest room.
...
The search was very formal, and the officers and soldiers didn't seem to have taken the opportunity to do anything bad. So, soon, they found the door of the Wang brothers' guest room.
"Why are there anyone guarding me?"
The soldiers who searched were obviously stunned when they saw the big waisted bodyguards standing at the door of the Wang brothers. However, they did not retreat because of this, but instead rushed over even more aggressively.
"This military man..." A strong man with a big belly, legs look very thin and tall, and he wanted to rush into the room when he saw the officers and soldiers, and immediately reached out to stop the door.
"What are you doing? Do you want to hinder official business?" The leader of the team leader glared and asked at his big belly.
"Mr. Jun is willing to let go! How dare you hinder Jun. I do not do anything to do with Jun. But our two bosses like to be quiet, so I would like to ask Jun. Jun. "Big belly hugged the officers and soldiers, and handed over another ingot of silver.
"This... it's hard to violate military orders!" The leader took the silver and weighed it, with a look on his face as if he was embarrassed.
"Haha, Jun Ye is easy to say. In fact, we are just going to Chengdu to do business. You can also hear that we are not natives from Sichuan. The Chongqing criminals you are looking for cannot be with us. Do you think so?" Big belly said again.
"Forget it, Left Second Master, these military officials have also been ordered to do it, so don't be embarrassed. Just ask them to come in and search." Wang Qianhe said in the room.
"Yes, boss!" Big belly responded and turned sideways and opened the door.
"Haha, this master is really so happy... Everyone is polite! Did you hear it?" The officer and soldier leader immediately filled his face with a smile when he heard Wang Qianhe's words. He waved his hand and took his subordinates into the guest room and began to search.
Wang Qian and his brothers did not come from business this time, so of course they didn't bring much stuff, so there was no check in the guest room. The officers and soldiers took a look and then left the team and continued to search other guest rooms. However, the leader was kept by Zuo Erzhan when he walked out of the door.
"June, how can you detect several criminals and you have to dispatch your Green Camp soldiers? Could it be that this thief is still very powerful?" Zuo Erzhang asked with a little curiosity.
"Hey, who knows? Since Sichuan changed its admiral three years ago, we have been in trouble. To be honest, brother, you are still lucky to be sent to capture the thief. If you are not lucky, you will either be transferred to the deep mountains and forests, or... Oh, it's such a bad life!" The leader shook his head and sighed repeatedly.
"Or what's wrong? Jun Ye, don't just say half of it!... 周, please have a little tea." Zuo Er handed over a few more silver dollars with a smile.
"Oh, guy, you're polite." The leader immediately smiled when he saw the silver dollar. Although the imperial court began to issue silver dollars in recent years, the main issuance area of silver dollars is still in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Sichuan uses more silver dollars. Therefore, silver dollars have a purchasing power worth a lot more than itself in Sichuan. The reason why the leader was happy after seeing the silver dollars was mainly because silver dollars are quite strange in Sichuan, and having a few silver dollars in his hand can make it look more appropriate.
"Haha, a little bit. I'm going to tell Jun Ye that our boss is a businessman... You also know that our businessmen's job is to rely on well-informed information. In the past two years, the local products in Sichuan have been sold so fiercely outside. Isn't it because your military soldiers are guarding the road and have formed a relationship with those Yi and Tibetans? So, please give me some information. Although we can't talk about any big deal, we might be able to take the lead and make a small profit! Do you think?" Zuo Erzhang said with a smile.
"Hehe, my brother is so good at planning. I admire him, I admire him!..." The leader stretched out his thumb at the second hand, laughed dryly, then raised a silver dollar and shook it, and said, "It's not brother that you are unhappy. Your money is probably vain... You can't listen to this news, you can't make anything!"
"If Jun Ye doesn't tell me, how can you know that this news is worthless?" Zuo Erzha smiled.
"Okay! Since you want to hear it, I have nothing to say. Actually, I also occasionally listen to our superiors... Do you know? Our Green Camp soldiers in Sichuan have been transferred, and they all went to Shaanxi! I heard that they are going to go to war with Feiyanggu!... Hehe, can you make money from this?" After the leader said that, he looked up at Zuo Erba and looked at him with a smile.
"Damn it! It turns out that it's going to fight again... Alas, not only can't make money now, but I'm afraid you'll have to pay a lot of money!" Zuo Erzhe was not only a good kung fu, but also a person who has been in the martial arts world for a long time. He used to be a stud in a major escort in North China, and was hired by the Wang brothers for a lot of money. There is a saying in the northern Jianghu Road: "The gun of the Wang family, the hand of the Dai family, and the bullet-slinging leg of the Zuo family are all in the world!" They are talking about the three masters on the northern martial arts road, Wang Zhengqing of the magic gun, Dai Longbang, and Zuo Changde, the master of Xingyiquan, and Zuo Changde! His Zuo Erzhe is Zuo Changde's disciple. The reason why he asked this leader just now was just that he was just asking this boss.
Ordinary inquiry of news, the habits and personality developed when working as an escort! However, after seeing this boss, he looked at him with a smile on his face, and he also knew that this guy wanted to see his disappointed look... Who told him that he might get rich because of a piece of news? According to the psychology of ordinary people, the boss will definitely be jealous in his heart after hearing it. Who doesn’t want to get rich? Why do I also know the news but let you get rich? Moreover, if this news is really useful, then he has to give the boss a lot of money. If the news is provided, will everyone make money if they have money? So, he had to express his disappointment. First, he did not attract jealousy, and secondly, he saved a lot of money.
"Haha, I'll just say you'll be inquiring for nothing!" Zuo Er showed his disappointed expression, and the boss patted his shoulder as expected, laughed twice before turning around and leaving. His news was not worth much, but he had already given the money, so he was embarrassed to stay here.
...
"Zuo Er made you well, and your salary will increase by 30% in the future!"
After the officers and soldiers left the inn, Wang Qian and his brothers called the second hand at the left into the room and said to him.
"Xie Dongjia's reward!" Zuo Erba smiled and hugged the two of them.
"When the Green Camp in Sichuan enters Shaanxi, the soldiers from Shaanxi may be transferred to Gansu... In other words, the court may soon start a war with Junggar. Brother, we have a chance to get rich again!" Wang Qianshou said to Wang Qianhe again.
"Yes, before the army moves, food and grass will go first. After getting things done in Chengdu, you can go and inquire about it and buy food and grass by the way! By the way, go to Mongolia to buy some military horses to Shaanxi first, just treat it as a gift. With this gift, if you really fight, those who are in the army will not be able to buy our food and grass!" Wang Qianhe also nodded.
"Brother, don't worry!" Wang Qian replied with a smile.
"Boss!" Seeing the Wang brothers' discussions, Zuo Erzha suddenly coughed twice and reminded them: "Why not find out the news first and then buy food and grass? This marching and war is not so easy to let a soldier know, right? If the soldier was talking nonsense, wouldn't we make a mistake?"
"Haha, Zuo Ermao, you are a warrior after all, and you don't understand the business story. Actually, I thought something might be going to happen. I heard that there seemed to be signs of mobilization in the Sichuan Green Camp a few months ago... Forget it, it's useless to tell you. Just think about how far Sichuan is from Zhungeal! Besides, even if we don't fight, our food and grass will be sold! It's just that we sell less, and there may be no second and third batches! Hahaha..." Wang Qianshou said with a smile again.
...
"Do you think the Wang brothers will listen to us? Will they doubt it?"
"So what if you doubt it? Even if the news is fake, they are still making a steady profit and not losing money. At most, they will just be slower to recover funds. With their strength, this is nothing at all. But if it is true, the supply of food and grass from hundreds of thousands of troops can make their Wang family's business reach a higher level. They are fools and know how to choose."
"Haha, that's true. You businessmen are really amazing. Even both sides of the war can be contacted. You are not afraid of being suspected!"
"This is how merchants are. Even if the two countries are mortal enemies, their respective merchants can still communicate in the cracks. The Wang brothers can only be considered a trivial matter!"
"It's not small. If they win this time, they will be a great achievement. They must be awarded some official positions!"
"That's better. It's safer to run a bank with them!"
"Damn, why don't I know that Orge's bastard is so talented in acting? When Luo Xin sent him over, he said he was honest and loyal!"
"That's because you're too stupid!"
“…”
Shortly after the Wang brothers initially decided on their money-making plan, another place in Chengdu City, a man and a woman were also talking about something.
***************
Jiangning, Jiangnan Governor's Office.
Luo Xin and Ma De were teasing their two-year-old son. The little guy has been very healthy and cute since he was born. He never cried. Since he could crawl, he always stared at his bright eyes and looked around the yard. He didn't cry much after falling down. According to Luo Xin, this kid has a very "demeanor" of her childhood. The most interesting thing about this little guy is to catch Zhou on his first birthday. Ma De and his wife put it on the table according to the rules.
Knife, book, pen, ingot, abacus, toys and other things. As a result, this little guy stared at these things for a long time in front of everyone's eyes, and even used a soak of boy's urine to rush all of them, and didn't ask for them. After this incident came out, many officials in Jiangnan felt very relieved... Isn't you a Ma De very powerful? There are no shortage of knife handles, books, ingots, and abacus, but your son can't inherit them either. Although he is only one year old now, the result of fantasy is still very refreshing.
Of course, Made and Luo Xin would not take this seriously, but they would not be happy no matter what. Moreover, because before the flood, this little guy stared at him and "thinked" for a while, Made gave him a big name: Marx!...Boy, aren't you very good at thinking? Then I will give you the word "吉" to overcome your thoughts!
As a result, before this large number had been used for an hour, Ma De was almost beaten by Luo Xin. The mother only hoped that his son would be good, but she never thought that his son would take on such a heavy historical responsibility. It would be better to throw it over to the foreigner to do it myself. As for the reason Ma De found, he was directly thrown into the eighteenth level of hell... Khs? If he couldn't think about it, he would be foolish. He actually dared to "curse" his son, and even had to peel off three layers of skin if he didn't die. Moreover, not only Luo Xin, after hearing the news, Old Man Fei and Yu Zhong and his wife also wrote letters to criticize Ma De in a profound and profound way. Old Man Fei even sent someone to send a stick, saying that Luo Xin was harshly slapping Ma De's kid and venting his anger.
Therefore, the name "Marx" was temporarily thrown into the long river of history. In order to make up for the mistakes, Ma De proposed the names like Ma Yu, Ma Sanli, Ma Junren, etc., which ended up being all in the cold palace. Later, when Li Lin came to pay a visit to Ma De, he thought of a "sky-witted" Ma Xingkong, which made Luo Xin furious. If Ma De had not seen it quickly and had driven him away first, he might not have been able to walk out of the gate of the Governor's Mansion that time.
In this way, the Ma boy's name was not finally confirmed because he had to take into account many opinions, so he could only temporarily set his nickname: Xiao De! Ma De was very depressed about this because his nickname was also called Xiao De.
...
"Be good, baby, come here..."
The two-year-old child can walk long ago, but he will never feel relieved if he is not around, especially Luo Xin is even more caring for her son. When she is training her legs and feet, her hands have never left Xiao De more than one meter.
"Mom..."
Xiao De called out a slight voice, stared at Luo Xin, and moved forward steadily.
"Good son, come to my dad!" Ma De suddenly made a fuss and opened his arms from the side.
"...Mother!" Turning his face and looking at his own son, Xiao De blinked his clear eyes and turned around, but before Ma De showed a proud look, the boy shrank and stretched his calves and threw himself into Luo Xin's arms.
"Stupid boy..." Ma De gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Hey, hey, be careful! Don't teach my son badly! Son and mother, this is common sense. Where are you jealous?" Luo Xin hugged Xiao De and gave Ma De proudly a look.
"Hmph, I suspect you two are colluding!" He came over and squeezed Xiao De's chubby face, and Ma De stared at his eyes and smiled.
"That's right, we two are just colluding and playing tricks on you, and we're so anxious... right? Good baby?" Luo Xin and Xiao De put their foreheads on their foreheads, and they were shaking with a smile.
"This little brat actually fooled me just now. Humph, now that he is so bad, and he might even harm many people in the future! You can't spoil him too much!" Made saw Luo Xin occupying Xiao De, but he couldn't get in, and said unhappyly from the side.
"You were obviously stupid, why are you jealous of your son being smart? You are not shy! Xiaode, you can't imitate you, a terrible father when you grow up! Do you know?" Luo Xin said to Xiaode with a smile again.
"I'm not promising? Son, you can't listen to your mother..." Ma De pointed at his nose and was very dissatisfied with Luo Xin's words. However, he wanted to correct Luo Xin's wrong teachings to his son, which was obviously a thankless job for him. After Xiao De glanced at him, he called "Mother..." and buried his head in Luo Xin's arms, ignoring him.
"This kid is so familiar with these two words!"
Ma De said in a suffocating manner.
