Chapter 234: Defeat

When Wang Jing woke up, there was no trace of Liu Yongan beside her, if it weren't for Liu Yonghong still living here, she would almost think that everything last night was just a dream. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Yonghong only greeted Wang Jing in the morning, "I'll go out for a walk, and I'll come back tomorrow morning, and my sister doesn't need to pay attention to my business." ”

Wang Jing also went with him, and only ordered Shuangxi to follow and take good care of him. She herself continued to look for a suitable place for Shibaiwei.

At this time, merchants with a little vision and financial resources had begun to collect a large amount of grain, gold and silver, and more people began to live a life of drunken dreams and death.

War was imminent, and who knew if they would be able to see the sun tomorrow, so many people began to sell their land, shops, and luxury goods, and almost no one rented out their houses, either selling them cheaper than the market price, or exchanging them for gold and silver.

These are all written down by Wang Jingming Teahouse, and then brought them over to sort them out.

The average house is sold less than two-thirds of the usual amount.

Wang Jing wanted to buy it, but she didn't have any money. Fortunately, she had spent all the silver tickets, and she didn't feel distressed at this time. When Liu Yonghong came back the next morning, he already had more than a dozen house deeds in his hand.

"I heard Shuangxi say that my sister wants to open a shop, and I hope it will be useful." Liu Yonghong generously handed over all the deeds, "I have already left a place, not far from your side, Shuangxi knows the place, if there is anything I can help with, just tell me." The fourth uncle and Brother An have all said hello, let me help you. ”

In fact, their original words were "take care", but Liu Yonghong felt that although the girl in front of him was not very old, she was a very thoughtful person at first glance, and he also inquired in Haozhou, and felt that this girl was not as delicate as she appeared, so he didn't dare to hold it up.

Wang Jing: "Then what do you think, how about we open a gambling house by ourselves?" "Everything she hadn't tried, she wanted to try. Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, since she has decided to help the Liu family get information, she wants to gather news through various channels.

Liu Yonghong: "Yes, it would be nice to have a few more brothers like Double Happiness." ”

Wang Jing said: "That's a bit difficult to do, there are only two at present." If the location of the house is good, I will open a restaurant and give you dividends when the time comes. ”

Liu Yonghong: "Then lower the standard and raise more nursing homes." "It's a way to prevent people from making trouble." Although we have no background, as long as we don't make too much trouble, I'm afraid that the government won't have the energy to take care of us now. As for the house, you can do whatever you look like, and it's best to go to the yamen to re-register. ”

In a famine year like this, many people queue up for a day, and only receiving a spoonful of gruel is already the limit, Wang Jing promised to pack three meals a day, and hundreds of people gathered at once.

She easily got the deed of sale of these dozens of people in her hands, and even if she grabbed the lifeblood of these people with it, she was not afraid that they would turn back. Of course, these things were all done by Double Happiness, and Wang Jing moved her mouth.

There is no way to prevent harm to others, and the heart to prevent others is indispensable.

Wang Jing thought so, otherwise she would not have made such a request.

"Uncle Hong still has five houses in his hands, and he told me that every time a person like him goes, he has to get enough eighteen nests, so that his heart is true." Shuangxi reported to Wang Jing unhurriedly, "He bets on everything, usually loses small and wins big, anyway, in general, he wins." There are also some small yellow croakers, and he said that he wants to keep them to buy a few people and daily expenses. ”

Wang Jing smiled approvingly, "He is a person who understands." ”

They came back from Dadu this time, and although the road was long, none of the powerful people were left behind, including the cuckoos.

Regarding Du Juan's family affairs, Liu Yongan has already been able to ask about the blank space.

"This boy jumped three feet high at once, and if it weren't for the roof above his head, he would have gone up to heaven. Say thank you. ”

Liubai's parents have long been outcast, and they are only children, and his own consent means that the family agrees.

"Being able to marry a beautiful, generous, gentle and amiable cuckoo girl is a blessing that a slave has cultivated for several generations."

There is land, land and real estate, and the cuckoo used to grow shiitake mushrooms with Wang Jing, and now he also grows shiitake mushrooms. She is now Wang Jing's housekeeper, Wang Jing specially built a small farm yard on the Zhuangzi and gave it to her, and confessed: "If you are qualified for this job, I will cancel your household registration in the future, and our income will be divided into twenty-eight." ”

The cuckoo hurriedly knelt down and thanked Wang Jing.

As for the property, Wang Jing pulled three people to follow Lu Pozi and asked them to continue to raise flowers and trees.

Jiangnan likes luxury and sophistication, and clothing, food, housing and transportation are all the same.

Wang Jing's idea of combining various cuisines in a restaurant can't be opened at all in most cities, but it has become the most profitable business in Jinling. When the cuckoo planted the mushrooms, the business of Shibaiwei was even more prosperous, welcoming customers from the south to the north.

Liu Yonghong's casino business is also good, and he has found a lot of useful information.

"The garrison of Jinling City is 600,000 instead of 300,000."

Wang Jing got the news and hurriedly let people spread it to Haozhou. I didn't think that Liu Yongan hadn't seen it yet, but the "veterans" had already seen it and vowed to capture Jiqing at one time.

"Their 600,000 troops? I'm afraid that even the living people in the city are counted. ”

"They have 600,000 troops, and there are only less than 200,000 who can really pick up a knife and go to the battlefield, but we have 100,000 now, and these 100,000 people are all good hands in the army, and there is no problem in defeating them with one enemy and ten."

"The officialdom and the army in Jiangnan are much more complicated than the big ones, and what I like most is that the relationship depends on the relationship, these people are all moths in the army, and they are invincible to one in the war."

The morale was unprecedentedly high, Liu Chengfang discussed it with Xu Qing, and the war officially began, but the battle lasted three months, and when it came to the end of the year, it ended in failure.

This is not the first failure, but it is the most uncomfortable one.

The Liu family's army suffered heavy losses in this time, and some people even proposed to change the command, but they were all rejected by Liu Chengfang.

By the beginning of spring, they had a second siege, which also failed.

The entire New Year in Haozhou was shrouded in gloomy clouds and fog, and so many people had to eat even if they didn't fight, otherwise they would only starve to death.

Again and again, again and again, if the third time is not good, I am afraid that if I continue to starve, I can only starve people to death here in Haozhou.

Not to mention Haozhou, even Wang Jing's side is also anxious, but there is no way at all.

In fact, there were official warehouses in various places, and the grain stored in them was for use in the war, but at that time, Liu Chengfang distributed him to various households, but he didn't consider that Jinling would be so difficult to conquer

At this time, even if the grain is transported from other places, I am afraid that it will be too late, and I can only fight against the water. (To be continued.) )
