87_87379The two grandfathers of the Sun family want to clear up their relationship with the Boxers, although the Sun family girl wants to stay in the refugee camp, but neither Li Dacheng nor Sun Shouye approve of this matter, not to mention, Li Dacheng is in Cangzhou City, and there are a group of enemies in the rivers and lakes!

Li Dacheng can pat his ass and leave in the future, but the Sun family compound can't leave, the relationship is too close, and it is not good for the present and the future.

It took three days to wait for Li Chengyou, wait for the ship, wait for the Shandong shipwright, and transport salt, and in these three days, Li Dacheng basically had nothing to do, except for practicing knives is practicing knives, no matter how many people there are, it is useless to survive.

"Brother Dacheng, we're back!"

"Dog's day, didn't you let you protect the big and small Li Zhuang? Who the let you come back! ”

It was no one else who came back with Li Chengyou, it was Li Dafu and Li Dahe, these two people had seen the scene of murder, and it was enough to protect Zhuangzi, these two people came back, and they didn't listen to the tone like something happened in Zhuangzi, although Li Dacheng was happy in his heart, but his face was angry.

"Brother Dacheng, the two of us from Zhuangzi fled to the Weishan area, where the water and soil are good, and there is a big lake, after we go back, we bought 300 acres of land over there, and there is a care of the surrounding Zhuangzi, nothing can happen, the people of the government, and the uncle in the Zhuangzi are also dotted.

This time, the uncles said that when going out, there must always be a family of brothers to take care of, and some of the people who have no one at home have also been brought by us, all of whom have the strength to do it, a total of twenty people! ”

It's no wonder that you can mix well when you go out to escape the famine! If it weren't for the thousands of taels of silver sent back by Li Dacheng, a few people from Li Zhuang would have starved to death every day, and a few thousand taels of silver saved two Zhuangzi, so the uncles in Zhuangzi wouldn't care whether Li Dacheng was stealing or robbing outside!

People starve to death one by one on the road, there are uncles, brothers, children and grandchildren, who cares about good and evil on the line of life and death! These twenty people have also been trained in Zhuangzi, and they can rest assured that they are uncles in Zhuangzi.

"Yes! Weishan is connected to the canal, isn't it? ”

"It should be connected, I see a lot of cargo ships around."

"That's good! Dafu, Dahe, don't follow me, those twenty people give Dahan and Da Dog, you two will bring back 50,000 silver, buy more land, let the uncles in the Zhuangzi find a place on the mountain, dig a cellar, I will be useful!

Yes, will you buy food? ”

The size of Li Zhuang has a stronghold, but the number of people is not enough, there are many victims in Shandong, take this opportunity to expand the size of Li Zhuang, there are more people are not afraid of the government, the fewer people the richer the greater the danger, if the size of Li Zhuang has a population of several thousand, the government wants to bully, but also weigh it, the people around Weishan are strong, if they can stand there, they can also be used as a base in the future.

"I've seen it on the way! Nothing difficult! ”

Li Cheng has this kid's cleverness, and he knows how to learn how to buy and sell grain on the road, regardless of whether he can or not! You will learn slowly.

"Exactly! I have a big business here, you go to Cao Lao Er He knows that the grain we buy, Sancheng will be sent to Weishan, tell Uncle Sù, we are also refugees, we should help refugees, meet those who are sincere, and enter Zhuangzi is not bad. ”

Li Chengyou brought people back, and the boat that Cao Lao Er sent people out to find it also came, and he could do it with the boat business, and the twenty people who came from Li Zhuangxin also became Li Dacheng's confidence, so that it would be easier for Li Dahan and Li Dagou to bring people.

Although there are many silted sections of the canal, the basic smoothness can still be maintained, and the boats of about 30,000 catties can still pass smoothly.

The first to arrive in Cangzhou Mansion was the grain of northern Henan, and the two Qin and Sun of northern Henan were also capable people, and dozens of ships of private salt transferred by officials were accepted without hitting a single one, and they also let go of the words, as long as it was at this price, how much salt there was, and how much grain there was.

Also, this salt is different from grain, in a few months it is time to vacate the warehouse to store new grain, the more old grain is stored, the more worthless, salt does not matter if it is left in the open field to cover it, even if it rains, the loss is not too big, the key is that the price of salt is low, low to below the cost price, how much salt is not how much to want?

Along the Yellow River, they were able to sell illicit salt to the Gansu, Shaanxi, and Ningxia areas, where salt was more expensive than grain, and it was clear who earned and who lost.

Shanxi has encountered some troubles, people do not produce grain and silver, but also the official salt citation, the business capital over there is abundant, the silver can not be eaten in the troubled times can only be spent, salt grain, salt grain, salt to be ranked before the grain, it is the strength of the people, in the troubled times in addition to hoarding grain but also hoarding salt, this side should be the same as the two families in northern Henan, salt does not deteriorate, hoarding salt is less risk than hoarding grain.

Salt Li Dacheng has it in his hand, but the salt quotation is not something he can get, but this matter is not difficult, with the assistance of Jiang Huiyun, the forged salt quotation is one hundred and two sheets, this thing is issued by the government, and it can be done by carving a few big seals, the current world is so chaotic, who has the heart to go to the salt courtyard to check the authenticity?

Jiang Huiyun's stack of salt quotations cost Li Dacheng more than 3,000 taels of silver, in order to fake Jiang Huiyun's side, he also worked hard, and if he really wanted to go to the salt courtyard to investigate, he could only find two identical salt quotations, and the official government played more slippery by cloning this thing.

How much is more than 30 servings of salt worth? Li Dacheng knows best that the rich man of Shanxi is rich! According to eighty percent of the shipping price of the salt farm, the salt hoarding is 500,000 stones, looking at the meaning of the more the better, Li Dacheng knows that his first fortune has been made on the rich man of Shanxi, and it has also been made in this troubled era.

Now the camp is up and down with one word, busy! No matter what kind of work he used, Li Dacheng gave a price of 200 yuan a day, and after ten days and a half months, it was a load of grain, and with the capital to save his life, he could transport the refugees to other places by boat, and there would be a temporary way to survive.

Cao Baochu's boatmen and river boats are also more and more, after the people from Changfeng, Jiangsu Province came to a trip, left more than 30 river boats, the second trip came, people pointed out that they wanted salt not silver, almost free salt goods, there is also a great temptation for salt merchants!

Salt merchants have to go through the salt field to take salt, the salt field has a cost, and Li Dacheng only needs to pay labor, in fact, the most important thing is to occupy the light of the chaos, there is no Boxer Rebellion Shandong, Zhili, Beijing and Tianjin, no one dares to resell private salt on such a large scale, the current ruling order has been chaotic, and the imperial court has shown the chaotic side of the Qing Dynasty.

What is the most valuable thing in the troubled times, what can be eaten, those big businessmen who have been doing business for generations, the most understand the rules of the troubled times, the silver before the troubled times is not valuable, the value is grain, salt, cloth, medicinal materials and other things, with these things, in the troubled times, can be exchanged for several times or even more than ten times, dozens of times the silver, at this time the big businessmen, are preparing to make a fortune!

With the generous efforts of the salt lords in northern Henan, the rich men of Shanxi, and the salt merchants in Jiangsu, the salt in Li Dacheng's hands seems to be a little less, and at this time, he has to rely on Mr. Jiang! Jishen Erzhou, Hejian Prefecture, all the prefectures and counties with salt stocks, and all the prefectures and counties near the canal, people have a guò master system, and they are connected in series, for which Li Dacheng specially paid Mr. Jiang 100,000 taels of silver, in exchange for the next two months of busyness, it will take two months to transport these stored salt to the canal.

With the transportation of stored salt, the refugees living in these places can be fed up in two months, which is enough time for them to earn the silver to survive the difficulties, as for where to go in the future, Li Dacheng doesn't have to worry about it, where can he go with the silver?

Ten days, fifty years up, the information here in Cangzhou Mansion can't be transmitted to Jiangnan, but now it's different, Li Zhongtang built a telegraph office, others may not be able to use it casually, but the wealthy merchants can, the quality of Changlu salt has always been good, smelling this salt smell, more and more merchants began to assemble in Cangzhou Mansion through the canal.

The Grand Canal, the blood vessel that communicates the north and the south, because the small heart of Cangzhou Mansion has beaten so many times, and after ten days, there are some signs of recovery, what does the canal mean when it is navigable? It means that the rolling silver flow, Shandong will naturally not slack off.

In some places where the canal was blocked, refugees were hired by the local government or merchants, and temporary dredging began, and it was enough for the government and merchants to hire refugees to give them some food, which was nothing compared to the silver they got from the canal.

As for the ships on the canal, what are they carrying? Whoever the cares is a grandson! When is this? Don't you see that the capital is in chaos? At this time, the silver is good!

Li Dacheng played a hand-of-government cooperation in Cangzhou Mansion, and indirectly promoted the states and counties along the Shandong Canal, salt ships, grain ships, and merchant ships to reappear on the canal.

Prosperity is prosperous, but Li Dacheng knows that this is only temporary, the Boxers belong to the goods that can't grow with a rabbit's tail, once the Boxers are defeated, the situation in the imperial court will once again move towards temporary stability, those fools who spend money and hoard salt have to be dumbfounded at the large pile of salt, who will let you sell smuggled salt unscrupulously when the court is stable?

Even if the court doesn't care about this matter, the salt merchants in various places will not give up with them, and it is risky to make a fortune.

The amount of silver doesn't matter to Li Dacheng now, Li Cheng has to worry about the salt and grain trading, Cao Baofu, Li Dahan, and Li Da* have the heart to train the troops, and Cao Baochu, Li Dafu, and Li Dahe are in charge of the affairs on the canal, and his requirements are very simple, in the past few months, even if he runs empty, he must ensure that the channel from the canal to Beijing and Tianjin, the canal to the old canal, and the canal to Weishan is busy.

Beijing and Tianjin is a treasure of wealth, the old canal is connected to the Sun family compound, Weishan is a new base, the ship is hidden, the sea route of Beijing and Tianjin is now facing the threat of foreign devils, the Beijing-Tianjin section of the canal has a boat to buy and sell, this road is not difficult to maintain, the old canal to the east has a salt field, there is also grain around, although this section is not easy to maintain but reluctantly, the difficult is a section of Weishan, too many boats are bound to attract the attention of the Shandong government, think about the consequences, Li Dacheng still decided to take the Sun family compound as the main silver bank, the distance here is also recent, not easy to be found.

Of the more than 3,000 disciples of the Yellow River Boxing, Li Dacheng split half of the youngest and strongest to Li Dahe and Li Dafu.

There are more and more old Caoyong from Shandong, there are still a lot of unemployed shipwrights in Tianjin, and the integration of a large number of people can not be finished, and the Boxer Rebellion is not the main business, through the cooperation with Cangzhou Mansion, Li Dacheng wants to lay some foundation for himself, even if the incident does not come to Cangzhou Mansion in the future, Shandong's canal section is still a great business opportunity.

In these ten days of kung fu, Li Dacheng's task is also very heavy, that is, to practice knives, as long as he has time, he will practice knives with his own guards, and his footwork is not difficult to say Xuanqi, it is nothing more than learning how to advance and retreat, how to move his feet, how to raise his legs, on which Qian Laoba is an expert, combined with Sun Shouye's knife technique, Qian Laoba's footwork, ten days, Li Dacheng also groped out a set of simplified movements, and now what he has to do is to keep taking ten ghost head knives to be familiar with this set of movements, familiar with the two-handed heavy knife in his hand.

As for the Boxers in the refugee camp, Li Dacheng was tired of running away, and anyone who held a sledgehammer and smashed salt for fourteen or fifteen hours a day couldn't stand it! Li Dacheng regarded the Boxers from Shandong as mules, and dared to leave them to eat for nothing and cause trouble in the refugee camp, and Li Dacheng dared to exhaust them to death.

The stability of the refugee camp cannot be exchanged for the stability of Shandong, Zhili, Beijing and Tianjin, the Boxers should still be troublesome, many tragic events and tragedies continue to occur, the Boxer Rebellion is getting more and more troubled, Li Dacheng, who stays outside the Cangzhou Mansion, will feel shudder many times
