Chapter 120: Extorting Silver, Buying Items
Early in the morning, the displaced people who had finished breakfast, led by the lightly injured volunteers, walked to Zhangjia Village, with expectations for the future.
After all, yesterday's description of the Volunteers was so good, they could have enough to eat, they could get paid, and for them, this was a great happiness.
The most important thing is that the volunteers fought a battle with the famous forces in the two counties for the sake of their people. At least they will not be bullied in Zhangjia Village, they are in the county, they can be said to have suffered a lot, and there is a way out, who wants to be looked down upon by the people of the county all day long.
Let the old and weak women and children leave first, Zhang Lin temporarily recruited 500 people to do things, it is rare to come to the county seat once, and he always has to leave with something when he leaves, yesterday he copied Cai Hu's group of gangsters and collected more than 10,000 silver.
It's useless to bring the money back, so it's better to spend the money and go back with the supplies. Before the chief came out, he explained that in addition to a large number of displaced people, it was best to recruit some craftsmen, and there were very few craftsmen in Zhangjia Village.
But well, before recruiting people, first go to find someone unlucky, yesterday the Volunteers were looking for trouble, and slapped the Volunteers for no reason, although the guy who was looking for trouble was beheaded, but the anger of the Volunteers did not disappear so easily, yesterday because the sky was already dark, it was not good to continue chasing.
Now the volunteers are ready to go, to get back face, the volunteers' face is their own.
A group of people neatly held spears, murderous, walked into the county seat, the city gate in the county official after the old man ran away, no one cared, has been open, if the Chen family's family has a little courage, close the city gate, the volunteers will come in a little trouble, but unfortunately they are scared, that has such courage, if the three hundred people had enough courage last night, directly killed the volunteers, there is so complicated.
The volunteers advanced, and it didn't look easy to mess with, and the people in the morning hurriedly hid to the side, followed by five hundred homeless people, to help cheer.
More than 50 families outside the Chen Mansion were angry, and they were on duty all night last night, but fortunately nothing happened, but their good luck was over, and the group had already come to the Chen Mansion with a spear in their hands, which was the fierce gods of yesterday.
Many family members thought of yesterday's scene, the volunteers had not yet come, and the family members had already run to the mansion and closed the door.
Chen Wenzhao didn't sleep all night, looking at his son's head on the table, Chen Wenjie's head had been cleaned and there were no stains, but his eyes didn't know when they opened, as if he was crying and his death was blind.
Chen Wenzhao's eyes were red, this time he was really immortal with those people, Shan Chuan's son was gone, his Chen family was about to cut off his children and grandchildren, and he would not be able to face his ancestors.
Suddenly hearing that the volunteers had arrived outside, Chen Wenzhao trembled, let's put aside the hatred or something, if it is not done well, the Chen family may be destroyed. He no longer puts his hope on Jiading now, and Chen Wenzhao lost confidence in Jiading with his performance like yesterday.
Jiading came over in a panic, seeing Jiading like this, Chen Wenzhao was even more unconfident, he could still kill the volunteers back, and he didn't believe it.
"Master, the people outside shouted, saying that we offended them, and asked the lord to compensate them for 50,000 taels of silver, otherwise the Chen Mansion would be broken, and then~"
In the end, Jia Ding couldn't go on, but Chen Wenzhao could also think of it, that is, to kill all the people in Chen's mansion, Chen Wenzhao didn't doubt the other party's ability, if he hadn't run fast last night, he wouldn't have been able to come back.
"Go and tell the other party that 50,000 taels is too much, only 10,000 taels at most."
Jiading's jaw almost fell to the ground, thinking that the old man was angry, but he didn't expect to reply like this. What can Chen Wenzhao do, his own family is too wasteful, he can't kill people, he can only bargain, if he has that strength, Chen Wenzhao will cramp and peel the volunteers outside one by one, and then hang them on the city wall and expose them to the sun for 7749 days, but unfortunately he is a group of panicked family members, what can he do, with such waste materials and people desperately!
The family went out with a strange look to spread the word, the former head of the family was a stubborn character, except for the young master, other people were slapped or dragged out to death if they were not careful, and now they bargained with people who asked him for so much money outside, unlike the usual people.
Belch! Chen Wenzhao's attitude change, mainly depends on who is right, maids, family members He controls their life and death power, of course he doesn't take them to heart, now that people outside control his life and death, he has no arrogant ability, he can only discuss with the other party, discussion is discussion, but hatred cannot be lifted like this, especially after the volunteers killed Chen Wenjie, this possibility is even more impossible, but that is later.
At present, although the volunteers occupy the initiative, they don't want to break people's hands, so they will come over to blackmail the Chen family first, at least let the Chen family know that the volunteers are not afraid of them and take the initiative to attack and grasp the autonomy. If the volunteers did not come, but left with the displaced people, Chen Wenzhao would mistakenly think that the volunteers were afraid of them, and then send people out to chase and kill, Zhang Lin was not afraid of this situation, but it was not good to hurt the people who worked for Zhangjiacun in the past, and even personal safety could not be guaranteed, who dared to do things for Zhangjiacun.
Zhang Lin led people to persecute the Chen Mansion, deterred them, and didn't dare to let people come out to make trouble, so that the people could leave the county smoothly.
The effect is obvious, all the Chen Mansion shrinks up, and now they expect the volunteers not to kill them, as for sending people out to make trouble, they dare not have this kind of thought, the volunteers are eyeing outside, that family is so bold to go out and fight hard! Apparently not.
In the strange bargaining, the two sides finally discussed the result, the Chen family compensated the volunteers with 20,000 taels of silver, and the volunteers will no longer pursue Chen Wenjie's search for them.
The result came out, and soon the gate of Chen's Mansion opened, and five ox carts were pushed and pulled, with a total of 20,000 silver on them, Zhang Lin waved his hand, and the volunteers left with the silver, Zhang Lin didn't care about the amount of silver, but just warned Chen's Mansion not to do any tricks, as for the hatred between the two sides, especially the revenge of the volunteers for killing their sons, it was put down like this.
Both sides had scruples, so they didn't fight.
Zhang Lin felt a little happier in his heart, because the brothers who died in the battle could apply to the chief to give their families a little more compensation.
Got 20,000 silver from the Chen family, naturally you have to bring some gifts back, anyway, the silver is obtained by accident, the first thing you need is a large amount of linen, the people's clothing, most of them are sewn from linen, as for cotton cloth, silk these cloths, it is the patent of the rich and powerful.
Ordinary people don't think about it, a silk cloth, according to the style, from ten taels of silver to hundreds of taels of silver, try to ask such a high price where the flat-headed people can use, as for cotton cloth, there are also on the market, mainly distributed in the Jiangnan region, in small cities such as Maoming County has not been promoted, even if there is, the price is more than five taels of silver a horse, the same is unacceptable to ordinary people.
One thousand taels of silver bought more than fifty carts of linen, linen as the clothing of the people, the price of linen cloth is naturally not very high, and the quantity is large, one thousand taels of silver, almost one-tenth of the linen cloth in the county seat was bought, but the ordinary people's demand for linen is not very tight, so much linen was bought, and it will not have much impact on the price of linen in the county for the time being.
In addition to the purchase of Mai, and then there is a large number of livestock, goats, bought, buffalo, uh, this no, cattle as the main force of arable land, there are not many in the market, pigs, chickens, ducks, Fang Zheng can buy meat in the market, all swept away by Zhang Lin.
20,000 silver to buy these civilian supplies, the amount that can be bought is very large!
At this time, the five hundred young and strong homeless people left before had a place to help, helping to push items to Zhangjia Village, and hundreds of two-wheeled carts were heading towards Zhangjia Village.
Zhang Lin took the volunteers to guard behind him, although he warned the Chen family, but the other party was really desperate, and it would be troublesome to bring people to kill.
As the last volunteers left the city gate, the large and small forces in the county breathed a sigh of relief, it was really a strong dragon coming, and they were knocked out of one of the ground snakes and abolished one, which was still the premise of the other party's release of water.
The county town is not calm, and people with a little high beam can see that the volunteers have sent hundreds of people to make the county like this, and the next time a thousand people come, will the forces of the county be able to resist it at that time!
