Man's greed is endless.

Those who don't want to get, those who get want more, and the so-called "desire is hard to fill" is also.

The huge sum of 600,000 yuan is enough to make people's eyes red, and no one can remain calm under such a huge amount of money, and it is easy to get this money......

Zhu Qu found the county magistrate Xiao Ming, as well as Wang Yu'an and Changsun Man, and after a little discussion, he decided to resell the stolen wood to the Japanese people. Although he was afraid that Fang Jun would not find out that it would end badly, considering that it was impossible for Lu Xiaoyu to reveal the news to Fang Jun, let alone sell it to the Japanese people, after the business was completed, these timbers would go to sea along the river, and it would be impossible for him Fang Jun to find these timbers even if he was clairvoyant and had good ears!

However, the county magistrate Xiao Ming rejected Zhu Qu's proposal to "do one more vote......

"Now that Fang Jun is riding the power of a big victory, the morale of the entire sailor is high, so it's better not to make extraneous branches at this time. Once we are entangled by the water master, it is difficult for us to get out, and if the stalemate arrives until Fang Jun arrives, it will only increase the trouble. ”

Xiao Ming was not carried away by lust.

With such a large amount of timber already in hand, why increase the risk and go for a "dry vote"? The timber in my hand had been embezzled and stolen three or four times, and it was really not worth it to risk losing everything in order to get a quarter of the extra profits.

Wang Yu'an was timid, he was originally unwilling to sell the wood in his hands, for fear of being approached by Fang Junshun, how could he go and do it again?

The eldest grandson Manchu has been in Chang'an for a long time, although he was sent by his father, the eldest grandson Heng'an, to Jiangnan to take charge of the family iron factory, it happened that he would be mixed with these people to steal the wood of the water master, and in the end he deviated from the main task this time, and when he was leaving, the fourth uncle and eldest grandson Wuji told him not to conflict with Fang Jun......

This made the eldest grandson very scrupled, and naturally agreed with Xiao Ming's words.

Although Zhu Qu was full of enthusiasm and wanted to vote again, he saw that no one echoed him, so he had to give up.

Zhu Qu remembered something again: "The Japanese ships are small, and they can't transport much wood at a time, so the Japanese have to hire a large number of sea ships, and the price is very generous." ”

Xiao Ming frowned: "In other words, if there is no sea boat, he will not buy this batch of wood?" ”

"Of course, there is no sea ship to transport it, can he let the wood float down the sea to the Wa Kingdom?"

Xiao Ming nodded: "Then slaughter it again and double the price of the sea boat!" ”

Zhu Qumei smiled: "It's exactly what I want!" This time, we can make a lot of money, and just the sea ship going to the Japanese country to go around such a circle will not be less than the profit of previous years. What's more, dozens of ships are at sea, and it is no problem to sink or lose one or two, which makes a few more boats of wood......"

The eldest grandson snorted slightly, what a special businessman, the price of wood has doubled, the price of ship has doubled, and he has to come halfway...... However, the eldest grandson's family has no sea trade business, let alone sea vessels, and this income can only be watched, and cannot be intervened.

Wang Yu'an was a little worried: "With so many ships going to sea, if Fang Jun learns about it afterwards, won't he trouble us?" ”

Zhu Qu said disdainfully: "Now you know that you are afraid?" You're afraid of a bird! Do you think Fang Jun doesn't know that these woods were taken away by us? He knew it was useless, he had to have proof! Without evidence, how can this Jiangnan be brought by him? Not to mention that our Jiangnan Shi clan is not vegetarian, are you really the eldest grandson's family shooting? Right, isn't it the eldest grandson? ”

This fat man is indeed treacherous, and at this time, he will have to tie the eldest grandson's family to a rope......

The eldest grandson was full of tiredness in his heart, and snorted, but did not answer.

Think our eldest grandson is just like you and a capricious villain?

The heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman!

Haiyu City is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Xiao family is the leader of the Jiangnan Shi clan, and Xiao Ming is also faintly respected among these people.

Xiao Ming immediately made a decision and said: "This matter is so decided, Brother Zhu quickly contacted Lu Xiaoyu to end the matter before Fang Jun arrived, and all the wood was taken off." After Fang Jun came here, if he couldn't find any handle, he would definitely go to Huating Town, and the matter would be over. ”

The matter was decided, even if Zhu Qudang went to find him according to the location left by Lu Xiaoyu, conspired, and agreed to make a deal at midnight tomorrow. Zhu Qu kept an eye on it, wanting to see if the Japanese had cash settlement in advance.

Lu Xiaoyu was quite displeased, and sneered: "Brother Zhu really doesn't trust someone Lu, even if my Lu family is down, they can't do the business of getting the goods on the ship but having no money!" ”

Zhu Qu was quite thick-skinned, and he didn't care about it, and said to himself: "Brother Lu is serious, after all, this matter is not just a part of the foolish brother, besides, a certain person can trust your brother Lu, but he can't trust those widows, if he goes on a business trip, it is really difficult to explain." ”

Lu Xiaoyu snorted, with a displeased look, called Ji Shiju, and the three of them came to the river by car, and on a Japanese boat guarded by many Japanese warriors, Zhu Qu saw silver cakes covering the cabin.

Ji Shiju said slightly apologetically: "Our country is short of copper, and I really can't make up so many copper coins, I wonder if I can replace it with silver cakes?" ”

At this time, silver was not a currency in circulation, but its value was recognized by the people.

In fact, it is impossible to trade tens of thousands of transactions with copper coins, and Datang does not have so many copper coins for private turnover, and some remote places are still bartering primitive trading methods even now.

Most of the people settled in gold and silver.

It's just that the price of gold is high, and silver is relatively cheaper, and the value recognized by the people is 1:10 for silver and copper, but when it comes to large transactions, it will always be lower according to the value on the market.

Zhu Qu's eyes were dazzled by the shiny silver, if he hadn't seen the warriors on this ship with fierce and fierce expressions, he would have even wanted to arrange for his family to send someone to rob him of this boatload of silver......

Seeing the money, Zhu Qu put his mind at ease, said goodbye to Lu Xiaoyu and Ji Shiju, and rushed back to organize the manpower ships to resell the batch of timber as soon as possible.

A little risk is well worth it in order to get this huge sum of money.

However, as Xiao Ming said, only when money is in the pocket can everyone feel at ease.

They wanted to finish dealing with Fang Jun before he arrived in Haiyu City, but they didn't expect Fang Jun to come so quickly......

*****

Everything in the Nanshan mine was safe, and Fang Jun led his soldiers to set sail down the river to Haiyu City.

The Wuya battleship slowly sailed away from the dock, Fang Jun looked at the mighty river and the green mountains in the distance, thinking of the first time he came here that day, and then he was surrounded by Shanyue people, and he felt like a world away.

The river wind is fierce, Fang Jun stands on the bow of the boat, the boat travels on the river, the wind and the water are smooth, and the green mountains on both sides of the river fly upside down in front of him in turn.

Liu Renliang came behind Fang Jun with a relaxed face and asked, "Why did you rush to Haiyu City in such a hurry?" If it is delayed for half a day, and the group is loading the timber into the ship and going to sea, wouldn't it be better if we got all the stolen goods on the river? ”

Fang Jun shook his head: "There is a garrison in Haiyu City, a Zhichong Mansion, plus the soldiers in the yamen of the state capital, I am afraid that they all have something to do with those scholars." When the time comes, General Su will lead the army to intercept and arrest the thieves, and someone will definitely come forward to stop them. General Su can't suppress them, does he want the two armies to kill? Ben Hou's sons are not afraid of death, but Ben Hou can't let them die in such a meaningless place. When Ben Hou comes in person, I don't believe that they dare to be tough! ”

Liu Renliang was convinced.

In fact, Fang Jun didn't have to rush to Haiyu City in such a hurry, he could just sit back and wait for Su Dingfang to capture the thieves and officials who colluded inside and outside in one fell swoop, and then go calmly to clean up the battle situation. But as Fang Jun said, although neither the government soldiers of Zhichong Mansion nor the county soldiers in the state capital are far from being the opponents of the water division, it is inevitable that there will be casualties under the conflict.

Fang Jun actually wanted to rush on the road and fight the opponent alone with his own might in order to prevent such a lowly soldier from dying in this kind of scene!

Cherish the soldiers like this, how can the subordinates not work hard for such a commander?

At the wharf of Fushan Village outside Haiyu City, the local government has already received the news that Fang Jun has come, and cleared the scattered boats and boats on the river as early as possible, cleared the river, and erected colorful flags and gongs and drums on the bank.

In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, Jinling County was abolished and Changshu was promoted to build Changzhou.

In the seventh year of Tang Wude, the county was moved to Haiyu City, and Wu County was changed to Suzhou.

Haiyu City is the most prosperous place in Suzhou......
