Chapter VII Resolute
When the young Lahu looked at the dagger, his face turned gloomy.
Like the evil young men in the south, Lahu in the north, they are all people who live on the edge of the rules. Fighting is a trivial matter, and there are no unforgettable things that are bloody at the head of the knife. Such as extortion and cheating are common. The south is a battle, and the north is a group head or a meeting head. The meeting head may be a yamen's clerk or a yamen runner who has official identity cover. There are hundreds or thousands of people underneath, and at least dozens of people. They use various means to make money. If there are too many evils, the local government will clean up a group of people, and there are examples of killing dozens or even hundreds of people at one time. But since Lahu is fucked, you have to have the ruthlessness of putting your head on your waist, otherwise you will still farm or beg for food.
Lahu was not afraid of Zhang Han's dagger, but worried about Zhang Han's decisive attitude. Lahu was a man from the martial arts world who fought with people every day. He could tell at a glance whether the other party was bluffing or really fighting with determination. Although Zhang Han in front of him looked very calm on his face, Lahu was able to feel the ruthlessness in his bones.
"Young Master Zhang, it's only a few dozen taels of silver, what's going on with life or death?" The young Lahu smiled yinly, stepped forward, and advised: "Put down the seeds, you have something to say."
Zhang Han smiled, fiddled with the dagger, and said, "If you take another step forward, you will have to bleed. I just don't know if it's your blood or mine? To be honest, I have learned from a martial artist for a few days since I was a child. I'm not helping you to knead you."
The Shanxi merchant family did have a family tradition of being called children to practice martial arts. In these days, big merchants not only hired martial arts men to protect the hospital and escort goods, but also taught their children to practice martial arts. During the Jiajing period, due to the rampant Japanese pirates, Shanxi merchants also sent a team of 500 martial arts men to fight against the Japanese. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, serious escorts began to appear. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the escorts were prosperous. More than half of the escorts in the north were attributed to the Shanxi merchants.
Zhang Han has also practiced martial arts. His legs were slightly open, his lower plate was very heavy, and his dagger was held tightly, without trembling or panic. The four tigers all showed hesitation. It was not that they were timid, but that today's incident caused someone to die, which was really unworthy and worth it.
...
Less than two miles away, in an alley just before Xinpingbao South Street, Li Yuchun and Liang Hong were sitting in the east side of the Li family drinking.
It was getting dark, and two candles were lit in the room. The usual vegetable oil lamps were not lit, and the fireworks were too hot. After drinking three cups of radish strips and peanuts on the table, the wife of the Li family brought a plate of boiled chickens. The heat was lingering, and the aroma of the meat was so intense that the children playing beside him swallowed their saliva.
Liang Hong smiled and said, "My sister-in-law also came up to have a glass of wine and asked her nieces and nieces to come and have something to eat."
Of course, the wife of the Li family did not eat alcohol, but she still wanted to ask her children to come up and eat some chicken. Seeing that Li Yuchun was not very good, she quickly refused and took the child to the kitchen to make rice with chicken soup.
Liang Hong took a sip of wine and sighed: "I can't think of Brother Li, you are so frugal now."
Li Yuchun looked at him and said, "You are so happy. What kind of industry can you buy when you are big fish and meat every day?"
Liang Hong put down his chopsticks and smiled and said, "I think, but the store has not improved in the past few years and there is no dividend. What kind of property should I buy? I am not as good as Brother Li. I followed the great master and bought a lot of land early."
Li Yuchun shook his head and said, "It's true that he has established a farm, but it's better not to mention it in the past few years."
When Zhang Yun was in the first place, the business business was good. Li Yuchun was in three containers at that time, and he also received 100 taels of silver every year. He saved it up. He followed the grandfather to buy a lot of land along the Yanghe area in Tianchengwei and Zhenluwei. Although he could not compare with the Zhang family's thousands of acres of industries, he still earned a lot of time. He thought he was right and his ancestors were living a very prosperous life.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Now the business in the store is difficult to do, and the worst thing is that the weather is bad, and the yield of land is reduced year by year. Li Yuchun is not a cruel person, so he can't help but ask the tenant to sell his children and daughters, so he can only reduce the rent. In this way, the buyer will be unprofitable and will lose a lot of energy.
In fact, the situation in Datong, Shanxi is pretty good. The area in Shaanxi is deadly. The consequences will come out in more than ten years. With the patience of Chinese farmers, it has reached a large-scale rebellion. It is conceivable how bad it is.
Li Yuchun naturally didn't understand these major things. What he wanted was to get rid of his own predicament.
"When your nephew scared Shaodong, he told him not to come to the store again. You can tell the mistress to say that to this point, and Yusheng had to ask the three of us to take it down. To be honest, I don't have much silver on my hand. I am going to sell all the farmlands. Lao Zhou has a lot of it, but you have to think of a solution early."
Liang Hong's eyebrows and eyes moved and said with a smile: "Although my hands are loose, I actually saved some money."
Li Yuchun nodded and said, "We will collect money to buy all the stores and goods. Next, I will buy grain from my old uncle. At least it is profitable. I will go to more places when I come down. At least I can collect some grain every year. It is true."
Liang Hong knew that in addition to finding the Fan family, Li Yuchun also had other plans. It was also a way to collect grain by himself. It was just to work hard and deal with local evil wolves. Some things could not be done with money.
But there is no need to say much about this. What Liang Hong values Li Yuchun is that he can get along with the Fan family. The Fan family is a super rich man with a net worth of millions. With more money, more officials will be raised in the local area and more power. If he gets along with the Fan family, his future will be great.
When the two of them said this, they were almost the same. Li Yuchun didn't eat much, just drank one cup after another.
Liang Hong knew his thoughts and persuaded him: "Old Li, you don't have to do this. Although we did something inappropriate, we are really not bad. The young master is too young and the mistress is a wife and has no one who has a family. How to do this business? Take your plans for example. It will be very troublesome to explain it clearly with the master, let alone..."
"Uncle."
Before Liang Hong could finish his words, someone pushed open the door and stepped in directly.
"Liang Xing is here."
Liang Hong's eyes flashed with light, he pointed to him and said with a smile: "Sit down and eat wine and talk."
"I dare not take the wine, so I won't drink it anymore." Liang Xing, the young Lahu, was also the leader of this operation. He looked ashamed on his face and stood at the door and whispered: "Things are not done well."
"What's wrong?" Liang Hong said: "Didn't you see anyone?"
"When you see someone, you never get things done. Your young man is young but brave. He is not a gangster, but has a sense of ruthlessness..."
Speaking of this, Li Yuchunteng stood up and said in surprise: "Did you fight him?"
"No." Liang Xing shook his head quickly and said, "Uncle has repeatedly told me that he must not take the initiative with Dong. He took out his sack and tried his best. We have no choice but to leave quickly. I thought I would explain to my uncle, so I rushed here."
"It's like this?"
"How is that possible?"
Li Yuchun and Liang Hong were amazed together.
They all watched Zhang Han grow up. Everyone knew that this young master was a nerd. He actually carried a dagger with him and dared to fight to the death. Even Liang Xing, a tiger like a slut, would never be able to retreat without any ruthlessness.
"This is bad."
The two of them looked at each other and saw the bitterness in each other's eyes. They couldn't scare Zhang Han. They had no reason to continue to manipulate their heads. Zhou Fengji would definitely not be able to get involved with them. The three of them bought the store and started a new one, which was completely ruined!
Liang Hong felt a little glad. Fortunately, he ran to the young master before coming here. He thought that even if this matter didn't work, there would be some room for his own retreat in front of the young master.
Zhang Han was not scared by a few Lahus. When he returned home, he was scared by his mother.
There were many lanterns in the yard, from the two doors to the main hall, and from the side doors, there were more than ten lanterns on both sides, illuminating the yard, making the yard bright and magnificent.
Zhang Han looked at Zhang Chun and asked, "When did our family change the rules? Why do we do it by lighting so many lamps?"
Zhang Chun also looked puzzled and said, "I don't know, this has never happened, unless it's Lantern Festival."
Both the master and the servant were puzzled, and the fear on Zhang Chun's face was covered up.
Just now in the alley, the young master was determined, with a dagger in his hand, and the cold light was dazzling.
The few Lahu didn't do anything, and didn't even put up harsh words. The evil young man in the lead also said a few polite words, then turned around and left.
Zhang Chun was just wondering, why is this young man so bold now?
If Zhang Han had learned martial arts, he would only be able to fish for three days and run on the internet for two days. The skill of three-legged cats is not necessarily a match for others, let alone one-on-four?
Zhang Chun didn't consider himself in that "one", he was just a filling...
But it was really strange. After that, those lahu left politely. Zhang Han smiled and explained: "They saw that I was young and my mother loved me again. After such a scare, there was nothing wrong and they dared to ask me to go out easily. Then, hehe, the following things are easy to deal with... But if I push this, can they really hurt me? If the matter spreads, how can the three of them behave in the future? Don't say that they have done it themselves, no boss will have such a shopkeeper, so they will definitely give it a lot and give it to me, and I will tell you not to fight with me..."
In fact, Zhang Han seemed to use this trick quite accurately. Zhang Han was originally timid and cowardly. After all, Chang was a woman. After all, the mother and son were scared. After being scared, the two of them were afraid that several shopkeepers would take the lead. They were afraid that Chang would agree more and oppose less. The boss withdrew his own capital and there would be no gossip to outsiders, so this matter was done.
Unfortunately, I met Zhang Han now, and there was nothing else. This bachelor is still very energetic...
This matter was just a trivial matter in Zhang Han's eyes, and he didn't even think about holding a grudge. However, the situation in front of him was strange, and he couldn't understand it.
The lights in the upper room were brightly lit. A woman from afar saw Zhang Han coming back and lifted the curtain early. As soon as Zhang Han entered the room, she felt a burst of heat rushing on her face and felt comfortable all over.
He took off his big sweater and coat, and was covered in a blue robe. He had never left his beard at his fifteens and sixteens. He looked so hot that he felt a little red lips and white teeth, and he felt like a handsome young man.
