Chapter 1648: This is what it means
"Phew...... Where's your old face? Do you want a face? Brother Liu snorted and scolded, "Did you go to Widow Chen's house a few days ago?" ”
“……。”
"I know you can't control Rausch under your crotch!" Brother Liu glanced at him in disgust and said, "You can go as long as you say, make the movement so big, and beat her little cub...... Are you seeking pleasure or evil?! ”
Lao Zhang's head was getting lower and lower, and he almost fell into the diamond lion.
The errand officer who was slapped on the head by Lao Zhang just now hurriedly played a round and said: "Brother Liu, there are few people on the street today, and there will be no chaos if you think about it, or ...... Shall we go for a little wine? ”
Brother Liu looked up at the sun in the sky, yawned and said, "Eat a fart wine...... The restaurants are closed, where can I go to eat? ”
"Slam the door! Our brother Liu wants to eat and drink, who dares not to open the door? ”
That's right, in this acre and three points of land, this group of people come to eat and drink, that is called looking up to you, if you dare to be unhappy or want to collect cash, then wait for the door to close.
Brother Liu thought for a while and said, "Forget it...... I don't eat or drink today. ”
These few people were surprised, usually as long as they heard that they were going to eat and drink, Brother Liu called it a spirit, but what happened today?
"Then Brother Liu, let's go to Cuixiang Building to have fun?"
Brother Liu frowned and said, "I can't say it!" ”
It was quiet.
After a long time, Brother Liu suddenly said: "You say, what is this Northern Expeditionary Army doing in Sizhou?" ”
Lao Zhang had the bearing of "Brother Pig", and said without thinking: "Of course it's the Northern Expedition...... Aren't they all called the Northern Expeditionary Army? Otherwise, if the name is not right, it will not be good...... Ouch hey. ”
Halfway through the conversation, he was kicked by Brother Liu.
Brother Liu said with a tiger face: "You have been in private school for a few months, and you can read a few words, and you will come to play in front of Lao Tzu...... Get away. ”
Lao Zhang really covered his stomach and stepped back, without even saying a word.
Brother Liu's face softened, and then he said to himself: "A few days ago, I heard that there are not many Tartars in Sizhou City...... The defenders seem to be only three or four thousand, right? ”
An errand officer nodded hurriedly and said, "Exactly, a merchant mentioned it three days ago, saying that there were only three or four thousand Qing soldiers in Sizhou City. ”
Brother Liu ignored him, but continued to talk to himself: "But the Northern Expeditionary Army that passed by yesterday ...... At least six or seven thousand, right? ”
"I have counted, and there are indeed six or seven thousand."
"Get out!" Brother Liu snorted.
So, another automatic roll to the side.
Brother Liu continued to mutter, "Six or seven thousand to three or four thousand, that's a sure win...... Yes? ”
Now no one dares to answer.
Brother Liu was furious and scolded: "Are you dumb? What about you! ”
Lao Zhang first ran a few steps closer and said with a smile: "Brother Liu said that he will win steadily, so it must be a steady win...... Win can't win again! ”
Brother Liu suddenly reached out and grabbed Lao Zhang's neck, making Lao Zhang tremble, but he didn't dare to hide.
When I was nervous, I heard Brother Liu say: "Old Zhangtou, since we can win steadily, are we ...... Get involved? ”
"Huh?" Lao Zhang desperately stretched out his head from under Brother Liu's armpit, the smell of this armpit was really unbearable.
Lao Zhang took a big breath desperately, "What are you going to do...... Does Brother Liu want to go to congratulate? Oh, that's right, Brother Liu's house has fireworks, maybe you can talk about it if you go...... Ouch hey. ”
Brother Liu's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he scolded angrily: "You old prank, the firearms in people's hands are for killing, and our firecrackers are used for fun...... Can it be compared? ”
Lao Zhang endured the pain, cried and said with a sad face: "But didn't Brother Liu just say that he was a member of the congratulatory group?" ”
Brother Liu was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "Can this be called a gangster?" Are there no fireworks in Sizhou City? ”
Lao Zhang was a little stunned at this time, and he asked cautiously, "That...... What does Brother Liu mean...... This is never possible, you see, who are we and who are people...... Can this be compared? Brother Liu, you can't ...... this mind. ”
"Phew! Look at your cowardice...... Don't worry, I didn't let you go into battle to kill the enemy. Brother Liu glared at Lao Zhang in disgust.
Lao Zhang really didn't understand, "Then what does Brother Liu mean......?" ”
"Ahem!" Brother Liu coughed dryly and beckoned around, so several people gathered over.
Brother Liu lowered his voice and said, "The Northern Expeditionary Army passed by yesterday, but they didn't make money in this town, right?" ”
"Yes. Not to mention that the Northern Expeditionary Army is different ....... ”
"Shut up!" Brother Liu interrupted angrily, "I didn't let you speak." ”
"Yes, yes...... Brother Liu, please say. ”
"I thought, people don't make money, but I didn't say we can't, right? That's Gao Yi, we can't be ignorant, right? ”
At this moment, everyone's eyes flickered, and they nodded their heads one by one.
Lao Zhang even clapped his legs and applauded, "Brother Liu is really that...... The final settlement is thousands of miles away. ”
This time, Brother Liu didn't kick him, but gently patted Lao Zhang's shoulder and said, "Go...... Looking for a gong, the town struck it, and said that we were going to support the Northern Expedition and recover the lost land, and they all said that the rise and fall of the country was the responsibility of the husband, and even we were responsible, and those squires, rich people, and officials would have to be responsible when the time came...... You say yes, right? ”
Lao Zhang was stunned, "You mean...... Squires, rich people, official lords? ”
"What? No way? Brother Liu's eyes widened again.
Lao Zhang smiled bitterly, "No, no...... You say yes, then do. ”
"Tell them that there is money for money, and food for food...... No matter how bad it is, the jewelry is fine and soft, and the more it is produced, the more loyal and good people the court will be. Brother Liu patted his chest and said arrogantly, "They pay for it, let's pay for it!" ”
Everyone's eyes were shining, and they all talked about Brother Liu.
……。
Brother Liu, whose name is Liu Fang, is nicknamed Liu.
The good man gave him this nickname, and there was no malice at first, just because Liu Fang was short-tempered on weekdays, and hoped that he would be calm and keep a hand, which would be good for others and himself.
Liu Fang was originally a splash of skin on Hengyang Street, and he killed someone by mistake when he was a teenager, but fortunately, his family was a firecracker workshop for several generations, and his family was rich and rich, so he made money to the government, and at the same time made a huge amount of silver to the bitter master, so that there was no public office, and it was private.
But in this way, the wealth accumulated by generations was lost because of this lawsuit.
Only one firecracker workshop remains, and the family of four makes ends meet.
Later, Liu Fang's father and mother died due to fatigue, leaving only Liu Fang and his grandmother to rely on each other.
But Liu Fang has no skills, and he doesn't like the ancestral business of making fireworks, so after his father and mother passed away, he rented the firecracker workshop to the people of this town, and he has been doing what he is best at - splashing skin.
It's also considered lucky, the inspection department is short of people and is recruiting people.
The neighbors also thought that there was always an organization that could restrain Liu Fang, and it would be good to be quiet, so they unanimously recommended Liu Fang.
And Liu Fang usually envied the style of these servants shouting on the street, so he was naturally full of joy.
In this way, Liu Fang became the official of the Hengyang Inspection Division, because Liu Fang was the head of the snake, and he was still righteous, and the officers of that class obeyed him, so Liu Fang became the head of this class of officers.
