Chapter 362: Attacked
Today's Xiaoyao Valley is like a copper skin and iron bones, and everyone knows how much the wealth here will covet the Tatars in such a year of famine.
Luo Hao's grain shop has long been closed, not because the business is not good, but because he really dare not do it. The grain store's stock was basically moved to Xiaoyao Valley, and the little stock in the store was robbed by the Tatars who broke into Pingliang City.
No matter how fierce the Tatars are, they also know how to bully the weak and fear the hard, and there are a large number of Han people living in the north of the city, and all the merchants have been robbed. As for the big families in the south of the city, no matter which tribe they are, they are living freely, which is really infuriating.
Gao's heart is kind and knowledgeable, and the city is in trouble, and begged Dong Xiaoman to talk to Luo Hao and let several female relatives in the city come to Xiaoyao Valley to live together.
Dong Xiaoman felt that this was not impossible, and now the women who lived in Luo Hao in Xiaoyao Valley were very stable. may also be because he knows the identity of Dong Xiaoman, so he doesn't dare to do something out of the ordinary.
Hearing that the Tatars in Pingliang City had left, Dong Xiaoman wanted to take the opportunity to go to Pingliang City to see if there were any cheap shops, so he simply followed Luo Hao to the city.
Although Erlang is not very happy, when will he be able to screw this wife?
There was really no way to send the two brothers Tiansheng and Santan, and they brought four more brothers to accompany Dong Xiaoman and Erya out of Xiaoyao Valley.
When you arrive in Pingliang City, don't say that the north of the city is depressed, like a slum, but the south of the city is singing and dancing, and the business that should be done and the shops that should be opened are the same.
"All the shops in the north of the city are closed, and the people have to go to the south of the city to buy food and vegetables. But these old dogs in the south of the city have raised the price to more than three times that of normal days. Now the common people are complaining. I can't live anymore. Santan looked at the women in the south of the city with a cold face who came and went and were interested in picking jewelry. I didn't know that there were people who starved to death in this world.
"They raise prices. If ordinary people can't live, they have to sell their children, sell their daughters, sell their houses, and sell their land. They don't pay attention to this price, they want the entire land in the north of the city. Dong Xiaoman sneered, he really didn't come wrong. Throughout the ages, the more troubled the times, the more likely the emergence of big rich people and big capitalists.
The reason is self-evident, as the state of the economy determines the superstructure. As long as you have money, you can survive in this troubled world.
"Let's also go and see if there are any good shops that can be bought at a low price." Dong Xiaoman gently instructed Tiansheng to follow Santan, thinking of buying land at the cheapest price.
Unexpectedly, Dong Xiaoman gained a lot this afternoon, and saw that they were Han and kind. The price is also fair. Just like this afternoon at Luo's house, there was an endless stream of people who came over one after another.
"My wife said that she would only help the Han people in the north of the city and ignore those in the south of the city. If the house really wants to be sold, the lady will buy it if she thinks it is reasonable and suitable after looking at the ground. As for those who want to sell your sons and daughters, my wife also said that she is not willing to do such a business that is detrimental to yin morality. If you really want to have something to eat, Madame can hire you as a long-term worker. As for birth, old age, sickness, death, marrying a daughter-in-law and children, our wives don't care. There is a better future in the future, and Mrs. will not stand in the way. "Santan is better than his natural face, and no one dares to step forward with the appearance of a barbarian.
Santan's few words moved these bitter people in the north of the city, and they didn't have to sell their flesh and blood to make money to support their families. Isn't this a bodhisattva's manifestation?
Dong Xiaoman was worried that things would change, and Luo Hao quickly bought several shops in the north of the city with better footholds. At the same time, I bought a few nearby houses. In the middle of the north of Pingliang City, Dong Xiaoman jumped up and became the largest household.
Although he couldn't figure out what this big family was going to do for the time being, Dong Xiaoman bought a large piece of land and a house at the cheapest price of just two thousand taels of silver.
And those long-term workers are also simple, and they want young and strong laborers. At this time, these people have no income, and they are willing to come and work when they hear that there are people who are recruiting. I don't know what the owner of the road is going to do, I signed a contract and moved into the newly bought house of the owner, and it is a happy thing to have food and vegetables to supply.
After Dong Xiaoman spent a lot of money, he led a few bodyguards to take Luo Hao's female dependents to Xiaoyao Valley.
It's a pity that Dong Xiaoman's movement is too big, and a person suddenly came out of the north of the city to buy so much land. This is like a naked confrontation with a few big families in the south of the city, and those who want to buy land can't sit still.
Some of the masters who are rich and rough and don't let people order their minions to go out and check it out. The result of the investigation is that I don't know when a Xiaoyao Valley appeared in the road, and I don't know who lives in the road.
The first person to go out to test was Donglin in the north of the city, and the eldest young master of the Tanglin family, Donglin Xuanyuan, was the next generation of the head of the Tanglin family.
I heard that someone came to Pingliang City and didn't give him a post to pay homage to the Dongling family, and he dared to take the opportunity to make a fortune, which is really hateful.
On the same day, he sent someone out to rob Dong Xiaoman's carriage, wanting to teach the so-called Xiaoyao Valley a lesson.
Dong Xiaoman sat in the carriage alone and staggered, thinking that he had bought so much land so boldly, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.
Now the husband and wife are only in and out, which is not a good phenomenon. Although Xiaoyao Valley is self-sufficient, it can be regarded as relying on the sky for food. Especially to feed so many people, is it a loss to guard such a good business route and not make money?
I haven't suffered much over the years, but I haven't seen how rich and expensive I am. There are piles of real money, silver, jewelry, and jewelry at home, do you really want to leave these for a few children?
It is better to give people a fish than to give them a fish, and what can be given to the child is a better life rather than wealth.
Dong Xiaoman was sitting in the carriage thinking wildly, when suddenly the horse neighed and the carriage shook. Immediately afterwards, I heard someone shouting: "There are bandits!" ”
"Not good, there are Tatars robbed!"
"Ahh The women of Luo Hao's family began to scream in panic, and Dong Xiaoman even heard sharp arrows flying backwards through his carriage.
"Madame Protection!" It was a natural voice, and Dong Xiaoman realized that he still had a box of silver in his arms. Immediately pile all the futons on all sides of the carriage, and there will be some resistance if there are arrows flying over.
Then he lay flat on his stomach in the carriage, fearing that he would be hurt if he sat too high.
"Grandma's, Lao Tzu is the ancestor of bandits and robbers. You turtle sons still want to play in front of me, you are playing with a big knife in front of Master Guan. Tian stood in front of the carriage angrily and cursed, he couldn't imagine that one day he would be robbed by others.
This is really too embarrassing, this is naked contempt. If he let people rob him, he won't let his brothers drown in the spitting stars when he goes back?
Santan carried a knife on the left side of the carriage and said to Tiansheng: "Second brother, it seems that this was not done by the Tatars." This should be a family, you look at the arrows are marked. ”
Tiansheng pulled it over and saw it, and sure enough, he saw it, and angrily rushed forward and slapped the horse's head. A bear dragged the man off the horse, and then wiped his neck with a knife.
I pulled the man's clothes and checked them, and I could see that he didn't look like a serious brother who killed people and sold goods.
"I said the black words that Lao Tzu said before, why no one cares. It turned out that he didn't understand it at all, and he was like a monkey. He was so angry that he took the bow and arrow of the dead man on the ground, and shot them off his horse with a few swishs.
"Good archery!" Santan couldn't help but admire.
"That is, Lao Tzu was the first major offender of the imperial court back then. If they hadn't chased me day and night for half a year, and Tianyang was injured and hid in the mountains with nothing to eat, could I have let them catch me? Born to show off there, Dong Xiaoman was lying in the carriage but wanted to ask him: "Why didn't you die, who dredged up the relationship for you?" ”
Born to clean up these minions himself, in fact, he is not the person of the Tanglin family. It's that Tanglin Xuanyuan didn't take it seriously at all, and the people below the master's recklessness would not be modest and cautious.
So I sent a few wastes over to scare and scare them, and this time I lost the face of the Tanglin family.
There were a total of six big men, one of whom was born to wipe his neck, four were shot to death, and two were seriously injured.
Born to be polite, the six good horses took back and viciously warned the two wounded. asked them to behave for themselves in the future, and even applauded angrily: "We are from Xiaoyao Valley, and you little turtle sons will go around when you see people from Xiaoyao Valley in the future!" ”
After going back to report, Tanglin Xuanyuan angrily smashed the cup on the spot and threw the woman in his arms. He even whipped the two wounded with his own hands and was dying, which can be imagined as the first time he had been insulted so much.
Angry is angry, he still has brains. What kind of bullshit is that suddenly appeared, who is the sacredness of the Loose Valley, and who is the background behind them?
Tanglin Xuanyuan immediately returned to his father, and after Donglin Batian sent someone to investigate, there was no result. It is precisely because of the unknown origin that they feel that this is a figure with an unusually strong identity.
"There is a family in the city that is said to have been kicked out of the Easy Valley, so we might as well ask what this group of people do!" Tanglin Xuanyuan said to his father, and then Lu Niangzi's family was picked up by the rude Tanglin people and slipped in.
"Are you okay?" As soon as he got out of the carriage, Jiro rushed over. picked up Dong Xiaoman, turned around, looked up and down carefully, and was relieved to make sure that his beloved wife was not hurt.
Tiansheng smiled and said confidently: "With me here, can I still make my sister-in-law have an accident?" ”
Erlang looked at the six good war horses, and he was indescribably afraid. The gate of the valley is not the place to speak, and with a gesture, everyone clearly returned to the Zhongyi Hall to discuss the matter.
"This attack was my fault, it should be that I was robbed by the land deeds of a large number of houses in the north of the city." Dong Xiaoman lowered his head and said depressedly.
"It's not your fault, it should be that we unintentionally interrupted someone's way of life." Santan said as he weighed a small piece of arrow in his hand. (To be continued......)
