Chapter 0565 Eve
It's just that Xu Xun is still too naΓ―ve, if Feng is really so good at talking, how can he explain his notoriety?
But seeing Feng Langjun standing there with his hands behind his back, his face was melancholy, looking at the deep eyes in the distance, he sighed for a long time, and said leisurely, "The landlord's family has no surplus food!" β
Xu Xun was a little confused, with a question mark on his face: What?
"What's this?"
Feng Yong pointed to his feet.
"Sang Miao?"
"No, it's mulberry seedling."
As he spoke, Feng Yong pointed to the distance again, "What's over there?" β
"Millet?"
"No, it's a rice paddy. What's over there? β
"Ranch?"
"Yes, ranch."
Feng Yong nodded and spread his hands, "The landlord's family has no surplus grain, Yueshan here, how much grain has been invested before and after, so that I have all this in front of me, and now I am also a poor ghost." β
Xu Xun almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
"But you don't have to worry," Feng Yong looked at Xu Xun kindly, "Although I can't come up with money and food, I know that there is a place to borrow." β
"Brother please."
Xu Xun said cautiously.
"Nanxiang's Dahan Reserve Bureau."
"Ticket shop?"
"That's right."
Feng Yong nodded.
"Isn't that from the imperial court? How could anyone borrow money from the imperial court? β
Xu Xun hesitated.
Feng Yong sighed, "In the past few years, has there been less people borrowing cattle and grain from the government?" β
Then he said, "When the time comes, I will talk to that side first, and then you will use Nanzhong's manor as a mortgage and repay the share of brown sugar." This kind of ironclad thing that is sure to make money, even if it is the imperial court, is willing to borrow it. β
"But brother, the imperial court has no money and food to open a school, how can there be money and food to lend us?"
Xu Xun asked suspiciously.
Feng Yong smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about this, anyway, you go back to Jincheng first, let the brothers in the association get ready, just wait for the news from Hanzhong, just go over and borrow it directly." β
Xu Xun glanced at Feng Yong, and stopped talking, "How sure is my brother?" β
"Eight or nine points are still available."
Wouldn't that be a ten?
After all, it is known as "Xiaowenhe......
When Xu Xun left Yueshan, he was still confused.
However, it didn't take him long to wait, and news came out in Hanzhong that the imperial court planned to sell a few places in woolen textile workshops.
When this news came out, Shuzhong immediately became a sensation.
For a while, the road from Jincheng to Hanzhong suddenly became a little lively.
How profitable woolen cloth is, no, it is not called making money, because weaving woolen cloth is equivalent to minting money.
It's just that the woolen machine, as well as the source of wool, have been rigidly controlled by the imperial court, not to mention the big families in Shu, even the powerful people have no chance to touch their hands.
I didn't expect the imperial court to suddenly let go of a mouth, how could this not make people excited?
After Xu Xun got the news, a spirit of excitement ran back to Yueshan directly.
"Brother, brother,......"
"And what?"
Feng Yong was very impatient, seeing that the rice was about to be harvested, and after the rice was harvested, he should try it all and select soldiers to deal with the Northern Expedition that was about to come, and the time was pressing.
Whoever bothers him now can't get along with him.
"Woolen cloth, the number of places in the woolen cloth workshop ......"
Xu Xun was so excited that he stuttered.
Feng Yong knew that it was for this matter, and sneered at the moment, "There are only five places, can you grab them?" β
Impatiently swinging, "Die this heart first, this matter is not something you can participate in, when the imperial court sells out of places, you can borrow money to open the school." β
"Brother, did you know about this?"
Xu Xun felt a little tired on the spot, brother, is this, don't you love the brothers of the Xinghan Association anymore?
Otherwise, if you let the brothers know about this earlier, everyone will think of raising money and grit their teeth to win a place!
"I planned this, do you think I know?"
Anyway, the matter has been made public, and Feng Yong is not afraid to make it clearer, "This matter is a method that the imperial court came up with in order to raise money and food from the Shuzhong family." β
Of course, in order to tie the Shuzhong family to the chariot of the Northern Expedition, and at the same time prepare the iron juice welding door, this kind of matter related to the overall situation does not need to be told to Xu Xun.
"Do you really think that spot is up for grabs? Don't talk about you, believe it or not, even if your family partners together, you can't take half of the workshop? β
How big is the appetite of the old demon Zhuge ?
Such a good opportunity, if he can survive to death, then he must rather die first.
The whole Han competed for five places, which was even more fierce than the bidding for advertising positions in the prime time of the C channel in later generations.
The powerful are poor ghosts, who are already poor, and they have posted a lot of money and food in the past few years, and with their family background, they still want to get a quota from Zhuge Old Demon? Dream on!
When Xu Xun heard Feng Yong's words, he said in his heart, is there an inside story?
"Brother, what do you say?"
"Don't ask, just ask...... Well," Feng Yong subconsciously wanted to say the word "cut", then swallowed it back and glanced at Xu Xun, "You care so much?" Even if they had a woolen workshop, they had to have wool, right? β
"Why are only five places being sold this time? Isn't it because there isn't enough wool? Where is the most wool, as far as the Han can find now, isn't it Longxi and Liangzhou? β
"If you really lay down there, you can make money just by selling wool. The question is who is going to fight? Well? β
After Feng Yong finished speaking, he raised his chin.
"Nature is ......"
Xu Xun paused abruptly when he said this.
yes, who's going to fight? Aren't they still the military leaders of the Great Han? Wouldn't that be cheaper for them after they were defeated?
The question is, which of the brothers in the Xinghan Association has no more or less relationship with the military leader?
Thinking of this, Xu Xun leaned over, "Brother, ...... you mean?"
"I didn't say anything, get out!"
Feng Yong kicked Xu Xun away, and he didn't have a good air.
"Understand, little brother, get out."
Xu Xun got the hint, and hurriedly ran back to Jincheng again, ready to tell his brothers that this time he would have a big vote!
Because in addition to the manor in Nanzhong, there will be wool from Longxi and Liangzhou in the future, so we must get the school out as soon as possible, otherwise there will be not enough Mr. Accounts and stewards!
For the first time in recent years, Nanzheng surpassed Nanxiang and became the center of attention in Hanzhong.
All the families in Shuzhong who are interested in going further, and those who want to leave some inheritance for their children and grandchildren, have people who come to Nanzheng, and many families and even the patriarch of the clan come in person.
For a time, Nanzheng's guest house was full.
In a guest house in Nanzheng, in a large wing room, the doors and windows were closed, and a group of people were sitting around.
There were a lot of ice stickers around the house, and many people still felt very stuffy, but none of them offered to open the windows to breathe.
"Let's talk about it, what are we going to do this time?"
An old man sitting on the throne opened his mouth and asked.
"The price offered by the Zhuge villager is too high!"
Someone said indignantly.
"Otherwise, what is the old man doing with a shy old face and calling you all together?" The old man glanced at the person who spoke, "If you can eat it yourself, where can each family have so many feasts these days?" β
"The ones next door, I heard that they have decided to cooperate."
Someone said sullenly.
"Afraid of what? A few small families, or foreign surnames. The old man said indifferently, "If we can join forces, I'm afraid we can't compare?" What do you say about the third room? β
The old man's gaze fell to the next place.
He Shen, the head of the third room of the He family, has a smile on his face, which makes people feel close.
Only those who know the inside story know that this guy, in order to avenge his own sister, endured life for more than 20 years, and even took the initiative to marry the daughter of the enemy.
In the end, after becoming the head of the family as he wished, he turned his face directly, and made a rumor of a violent death of the daughter of the Li family's big house, and then ran away to be the dog of the Zhuge village husband, and turned his head and began to bite the Li family's big house.
It's chilling.
It is estimated that He Shen chose a good cemetery for his sister who died violently in the Li family, and the father and son became the dogs of Zhuge Villager.
If that's just the case, then the He family's big deal is that the third room is separated and scattered, and out of sight is clean.
But I don't know how they hooked up with that clever guy, and first got a lot of woolen cloth, which was really eye-catching.
What tea is there behind, and the manor of Nanzhong, the share of cane sugar......
Is...... It's addictive!
Just like this time, if Sanfang is willing to take some favors, then the He family has an advantage over others.
So...... No matter how disgusting Sanfang is, he still endures it with his eyes closed, anyway, he just doesn't bite his own family.
"Sect Chief, I have inquired about the regulations of the quota of this woolen cloth workshop, and no one can eat it alone, if someone doesn't believe it and reluctantly swallows it, there are still those looms and wool behind them, and it will cost a lot of money and food."
The smile on He Shen's face remained unchanged, and he said kindly, "If you can't get the money and grain in the back, and the money and food invested in the front, it will be a waste, and the family business will fail, then it is certain." It can be said that winning the quota is just a beginning. β
"That's the reason. But that woolen cloth, you can't help but do it, it's done, and after a year, you can make money lying down, isn't it better than growing food in the field? β
The old patriarch nodded, "Don't say anything else, if we don't do it, give the quota to others, and live for more than ten years, I'm afraid that the He family in Shuzhong will become a small family in other people's mouths." β
Why don't you say that Zhuge Villager is vicious?
Release these five places, the big family wants to grab it and make a long-term guarantee for their own foundation. The small family also wants to grab it, after all, this is the best opportunity to strengthen the family.
It's about the foundation of the family, even if you don't want to rob, someone will force you to rob.
"One more thing." He Shen said a little casually, "I heard that someone took Nanzhong's manor and a share of brown sugar, and was going to ask the ticket bank to be a guarantor, and wanted to borrow some money and grain." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at them.
"Is that true?"
Even the old patriarch couldn't stop breathing.
Many people from the Shuzhong clan went to Nanzhong to open a manor to grow sugarcane, but in fact, if they want to get brown sugar, they will have to wait until the end of next year.
First, it is because it is one step slower than others, and there are not many good places in Nanzhong, so the manor opens slowly.
The second is because the cane seeds are not enough, and I heard that this year's light will be distributed to the people of the Xinghan Society.
This step is slow, step by step, let alone two steps slow?
It is already the most optimistic inference to be able to get the share of brown sugar two years later.
But if you borrow some money and grain in exchange for brown sugar at the end of this year, it will be different.
"It's not wrong, it's Gorou's news from the Heunghan Society. This money and grain was borrowed by them, saying that they did not take advantage of the money and grain on the other side of Yueshan. β
He Shen nodded.
"Xinghan Society?"
Someone muttered at the bottom, and his expression was extremely complicated.
"There's no fraud, right? If we borrow money and they use it to buy a place in a woolen workshop, what will we do? β
"Don't worry, this money and food will be borrowed only after the quota is sold."
He Shen explained.
That's no problem?
The old patriarch glanced at He Shen, who was sitting below, and always felt a little unsteady in his heart.
This vicious dog won't bite his own family, right?
After all, when his sister married into the Li family with a brand, the He family's clan also nodded. Although I haven't seen them do anything to the sect in the past few years, who knows what they think in their hearts?
"The news hasn't gotten out yet, but I think it's going to be soon."
He Shen's last sentence made the old patriarch finally make up his mind: Since it is something that is going to spread, then it must not be fake, after all, there is a ticket as a guarantee, and the court can't even lose face, right?
If this is the case, then Zhuge Villager might as well send troops to rob it!
After August, when the rice harvest was completed, Feng Yong held a capital test, in which all men over the age of 15 and under the age of 40 were required to participate.
When it was, the axe was in full swing, the flag hunting, the people who tried, one was to shoot the royal, the other was the battle formation, and the situation of the Nanxiang soldiers organizing martial arts for more than a year was reviewed.
The chief of each li first led people to gather with the pavilion, the pavilion chief finished counting, and then led the township together, and finally gathered in the county test center, and the three counties had a total of nearly 20,000 soldiers.
At the end of the trial, he went to his old and weak and the only male in the family, and he was eight thousand strong.
Yi people are good at walking in the mountains and forests, and they have always had the habit of using poisoned arrows, so Feng Yong took 5,000 people as archers, and asked people to collect more poisonous juice, and ordered the sentence to support it.
For this reason, Feng Yong also deliberately retransferred Wang Ping's clansman Wang Han and the Nanban archers led by him to Qiongdu as Jufu's deputy general.
The remaining 3,000 people, under the leadership of Zhang Wei, with Huang Chong and Wang Xun as deputies, practiced the battle formation day and night.
For a time, Dongfeng Express's supplies to Yueshan soared.
In the end, even Meng Yan, who was stationed in Beishui, was alarmed, and personally ran over to ask, "Feng Changshi, where are you going to fight?" β
"The avenue between Qiongdu and Jincheng is about to be opened, although the Niu Department is no longer a disaster, but I heard that there are always some sporadic bandits, so I plan to let people clean it up."
Feng Yong replied without changing his face.
Meng Yan had suspicion in his eyes, you took nearly 10,000 people to clean up the scattered bandits? Are you sure you don't look down on me? So you don't even bother to make up a good lie?
"So, is there anything you can do that can help?"
Meng Yan asked cautiously.
"Yes, help me find some more poison juice. Meng Taishou led the soldiers, most of whom were from Nanzhong, and they must be good at finding poisonous juice. β
Meng Yan listened, and his face twitched.
I mean, I want to go along and see, not to help you find the poison juice.
"Well, there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that when does Changshi plan to leave? β
"In about two months, no more than three months at the latest."
Meng Yan listened to this, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I still had time to whisper to the prime minister.
So he hurriedly patted his chest and agreed, "That's fine, go back, and ask them to help." β
Then after going back, the first thing he did was to send someone to pass on the situation here to the prime minister of the Han Dynasty day and night.
Zhuge Liang learned what Feng Yong had done in Yueshan, smiled knowingly, and instructed the visitor, "I already know what Feng Changshi did, you go back and tell Meng Taishou what Feng Changshi wants to do, try to help." β
In November of the fifth year of Jianxing, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty sent an order to Yueshan, and ordered Feng Yong, the chief of Yueshan, to select generals and lead the army north to Hanzhong.
At the same time, Meng Yan was stationed in Qiongdu and ruled the entire territory of Yue.
At this time, the avenue between Qiongdu and Jincheng was just dredged.
Feng Yong, who had already completed the army, immediately led the army from Qiongdu up the Sun River, passed through Hanjia County, and arrived at Jincheng as fast as possible, and then rested a little, and ordered Zhang Wei to command the army and the baggage after the heavy charge, and personally led the elite 3,000 people to hurry.
When Meng Yan learned all this, he stood for a long time, and then he scolded, the words of this ghost king are really nonsense, and he can't believe a word!
