Chapter VII Wealth

A burst of cold stimulation caused Dongmenqing to wake up from a coma, and after his consciousness gradually recovered, he felt that his face and neck were wet, it turned out that he had just been splashed with a basin of cold water. He opened his eyes, blurred for a while, only to see clearly that he was in a hut, the room was filled with the smell of firewood, grass ashes and pickled vegetables, and then looked at the furnishings in the house were mostly a small kitchen, a man of medium stature stood in front of him, Dongmen Qing fixed his eyes, saw that the man was less than thirty years old, wearing a clean old cloth clothes, saw himself awake, and asked, "Awake?" Then come out. ”

Dongmenqing couldn't figure out what was going on, struggled to get up, and then found that he was lying on the side of the stove, he patted his head first to make himself as sober as possible, and thought: "I seem to have been overturned by the medicine just now, and then ...... Well, they didn't hurt me? Or did someone come and save me? That person didn't seem to have any ill will towards me just now, otherwise he could have killed me while I was unconscious, and he didn't have to go to great lengths to wake me up first. ”

He waited for his mind to be clear before he opened the curtain and came out, and there were four men standing outside the door, all of whom had seen them allβ€”the first was the cloth-clothed man who had just woken him up, the second and third were the surnamed Wu and Ah Chuan who had entertained him during the day, and the fourth person was the homeless man who showed him the way in the Yuegang Market! Dongmen Qing looked around the surroundings again, and determined that this room was the wine shop, but the door of the store was closed, and it was dark outside from the window, and it was probably night at this time.

"Who are you and what are you going to do?" Dongmen Qing asked, he was ready for the worst.

The man in cloth took out a bag and put it on the table in front of Dongmen Qing, and said, "This is your thing, you order it and see if there is anything missing." ”

Dongmen Qing didn't listen to his words to count the belongings, looked at the man in front of him, and then looked at the others, and said, "I want to know who you are, who they are, and what happened!" ”

"Don't you understand?" The man said, "My name is Zhang Wei, I am the owner of this small wine shop, and I sometimes do some errands. These ......," he said, pointing to the other three men, "it's my brother." This," pointing to the homeless man, he said, "It's called Huang Long, this," pointing to the fat man: "It's called Wu Chuan, this," and pointing to the short and concise man surnamed Wu: "It's called Wu Ping." My liquor shop has always been a legitimate business, although the profit is small, but it can barely make a living, although the moon port is full of gold, but we do not covet things that are not ours......"

Dongmenqing couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Don't covet things that aren't yours, then why did you turn me over?" ”

Zhang Wei showed a slight apology in his eyes, and said: "Although my Zhang Wei's name is not loud, who in Yuegang does not know that I am standing upright?" My brother wouldn't have done that either. However, Wu Ping's hometown trustee sent a message, saying that his wife was seriously ill and asked him to rush back. Recently, we happened to be short on money, and we couldn't even get together the coils, so they took advantage of me to go out and move their hearts. Zhang Wei pointed at Huang Long and said, "You were wandering around in the Yuegang Market, and you had already fallen into Huang Long's eyes, so I led you over." But you were a little careful, and when you came to me, you didn't come in, and you would turn back to the market first to find out the newsβ€”in fact, you were about to come in and it was fine, because I didn't go out until noon. But you've been tossing and turning back and forth, and I'm no longer in the store. ”

Dongmen Qing was a little strange: "I turned back to find out your news, how do you know?" ”

Zhang Weihe sneered: "Huang Long and Wu Chuan take turns following you, don't you know?" What a boy! He added: "This matter is Huang Long and Wu Chuan's idea, Wu Ping himself didn't know, he was in a bad mood, so he didn't entertain you much after you came, but this seems to have dispelled your suspicions, and I don't need to say what happened, you were still hit by Wu Chuan's sweat medicine and fell to the ground." They have taken your belongings and dragged you to the kitchen, ready to slaughter you and make you into buns! ”

Dongmen Qing felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, Zhang Wei had already pointed at Wuchuan and Huang Long and scolded: "We are not a cross slope here!" You are not Sun Erniang, what kind of human meat buns are you selling! He said again: "Wu Chuan Huanglong wanted to solve you without me, but Wu Ping insisted on waiting for me to come back." When I came back, I scolded them, and then splashed water on you to wake you up, and the whole thing was over. "He said his own things very succinctly.

Dongmen Qing had secretly guessed Zhang Wei's position at this time, but still asked: "Then what are you going to do with me now?" ”

Zhang Wei said: "I want to ask you if you are willing to be good." I can see that you are the one who is in a hurry to go to sea, and I don't care what you are for, in short, if you are willing to be good and do not pursue this matter, then I will help you do the matter of going to sea - of course, you have to pay for the expenses yourself, we don't charge you the fee, it is considered to be an apology to you. ”

Dongmen Qing said: "What if I refuse to be good? ”

Zhang Wei sneered: "Can you be unkind?" You are a son-in-law, with a bag of messy gold and silver, and you came to Huyu in a panic, didn't you go to sea to escape? If you don't want to be kind, even if I let you out of this store, I guess you won't dare to denounce us and go to court with us! ”

These words really hit Dongmenqing's door of death, and if Zhang Weiru can fulfill his promise, it will only be good for Dongmenqing and not a loss, so Dongmenqing only smiled bitterly after hearing it: "It seems that I have to be good." ”

"That's good." Zhang Wei said: "Then now you are my patron." If you just want to go to Huyu, I can arrange a boat for you tomorrow. But if you're going to go overseas, it might take a while. ”

Dongmenqing nodded and said, "Okay, I can trust you." At this time, he had no other way but to choose to trust Zhang Wei.

Zhang Weidao: "I don't know the name of Gongzi Gao. ”

Dongmen Qing thought for a while and said, "I am the king, my name is Wang Qing." ”

Zhang Wei understood the world and didn't ask much, but said: "It's late, just ask Wang Gongzi to rest in the back." So he took Dongmen Qing to the house, a woman was cleaning up the bed, and when she saw Dongmen Qinglai retreating aside, Zhang Wei pointed to the woman and said, "This is cheap." He also said, "We are in the middle of nowhere, just such a house, such a bed, please ask the son to stay overnight." ”

Dongmenqing looked at Zhang Wei's wife and asked, "If there is only such a room and such a bed, where will Brother Zhang and sister-in-law sleep?" ”

Zhang Wei was stunned, and his wife said, "I'll go outside and squat with Xianggong for one night tonight." ”

Dongmen Qing asked again: "Then where do they usually sleep Wu Ping?" I slept with them. ”

Zhang Weidao: "They usually go outside, put a few tables together and lie down, and sometimes they sleep directly on the ground, and there is nowhere else." Childe doesn't need to say more, please rest. He was about to take his wife out, but Dongmen Qing had already rushed out with his baggage and said, "I'll squat outside for one night." ”

Zhang Wei was stunned, with a little smile in his eyes, and waved his wife back to the house to rest, but he came outside and made a table as a bed for Dongmen Qing to sleep.

Dongmen Qing's words and deeds just now Wu Ping, Wu Chuan, Huang Long all saw it in his eyes and listened to it in his ears, although he only said a few words, but his attitude towards Dongmen Qing had changed, Huang Long said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Wang, it seems that you are also a knowledgeable person, and you are really sorry during the day." If we knew that you had such a character, we wouldn't have moved you. ”

Zhang Wei snorted and said, "Even if you have a bad character, you shouldn't move!" With the ability of a few of us, if we really want to go to the sea to fish, even if we can't catch up with Xu Longtou and Wang Wufeng, at least we can divide an island! But since we have chosen to make a fortune from a low-profit business, we should keep our duty! Seeing that Dongmen Qing was listening to himself, he waved his hand and said, "Prince Wang, go to sleep, leave us alone." ”

Dongmen Qing also knew that it was not good to listen to others, so he turned around and closed his eyes, but he was not really asleep, he was in the same room, and he could only listen to Zhang Wei and the others.

Zhang Wei didn't seem to be afraid that Dongmenqing would hear what he was going to say next, so he took out a bag of silver, handed it to Wu Ping and said, "You will go back tomorrow." Don't delay any longer. If you can't see your mother, then this sin is great. ”

Wu Ping opened the bag of silver and saw that there were about sixty taels, and asked, "Boss, this money ...... Where did you come from? ”

"Don't worry, this money is coming from the right place." Zhang Wei said: "Even if you take it, there will be no trouble." ”

Wu Ping said: "Then you don't need so much, I'll take three or five taels, just enough for me to get to Zhao'an." ”

Zhang Weidao: "The cost on the road is small, but your mother's illness doesn't know the severity yet!" I don't know how much it will cost when I go back! Don't mother-in-law! Take it! ”

Huang Long's eyes were sharp, he stretched out his head to take a look, and couldn't help but shout: "Boss...... This silver...... This money is familiar...... Yes! This is the money we put together to build a big ship! ”

It turned out that Zhang Wei, Wu Chuan, Huang Long and others were born in poverty, and it was certainly unimaginable for them to control overseas trade through capital like the Dongmen family, even if Xu Dong and Wang Zhi built a sea ship to sail directly to Wadao, it was not within their financial resources, and even if they bought a space to go to sea like Hong Ditong, they couldn't make up enough principal.

However, overseas trade is a huge economic ecosystem, the rich have the investment path of the rich, and the poor also have some oil spills to pick up, Zhang Wei and others want to do business, is to build a medium-sized sea ship to operate in the offshore sea, or to transport food, clean water to help the large fleet of maritime merchants, or to help the maritime merchants carry goods between the ship and the shore. The profits of this business path naturally cannot be compared with going directly to the sea, and it is finally a financial road. But even so, to build a sea ship that can reach the scale, it also takes four or five hundred taels of silver, this money is not worth a lot in the eyes of Dongmen Ba, but Zhang Wei and others still can't take it out, and finally they came up with a way, that is, to unite a group of people to build this ship, each person contributed about twenty taels of silver, united more than 20 people, and only a few days ago did they get together more than 400 taels! These sixty taels of silver are the shares of Zhang Wei, Wu Chuan, and Huang Long.

Huang Long and they didn't know how much suffering they had suffered in order to get together the silver, and when they saw that Zhang Wei was going to give it to Wu Ping, it was hard to say, but it was really uncomfortable in their hearts, Wu Chuan simply turned his back on his face, he was not awkward, but he was afraid that Wu Ping would see his ugly face and ruin his reputation.

Wu Ping looked at the two of them, where were they embarrassed to take this money? Push it back to Zhang Wei and say: "Boss, this money is saved little by little by you and Huang Long and Ah Chuan, you want to use this to build a ship, if you delay this major event, I don't know when you will be able to turn over!" I didn't dare to take it. ”

Zhang Wei glared at Huang Long and Wu Chuan, and said, "Is it the shipbuilding business that is big, or is your mother's illness big?" ”

Wu Ping said: "I haven't been in Yuegang for a long time, and you have to look at it like this, boss, and it is already a virtue cultivated in three lives." If this is my money, I don't care how much it is, and naturally I will use it to cure my mother's illness, but this money ...... I really can't take this money! Even if I take the medicine and bring it to my wife, she won't be able to drink it. ”

Zhang Wei couldn't talk about him, and said to Huang Long and Wu Chuan: "You two, come here and persuade." ”

Huang Long agreed, hiding his reluctance, and said, "Brother Wu Ping, you can take it." ”

Wu Chuan turned around, and the two fat mouths opened several times before he finally said, "Brother Wu Ping, you ...... Take it! ”

But Wu Ping said that he didn't want to answer anything, Zhang and Wu were pushing, Dongmenqing couldn't listen to it, suddenly got up, opened the baggage and showed the fine and soft gold and silver, and asked Zhang Weidao: "Brother Zhang, I want to go to sea to buy a space, do I need to spend all these belongings?" ”

Zhang Wei didn't know what he meant for a while, thought for a while and said, "No." He glanced at Dongmenqing's pile of gold and silver, and said, "At most, it will be enough." ”

"Good!" Dongmen Qing took out a percent, and pointed to the rest of the property and said, "Half of these are divided, is it enough to make the principal?" ”

Zhang Weidao: "You can also buy some groceries or something to sell, if you are in the raw silk business, you can't take out all the money to see." ”

"That's good, I don't want to do much business, just make a living." Dongmen Qing said, wrapped up half of the belongings, handed them to Wu Ping and said, "Brother Wu Ping, we met in Pingshui, and I can't say that I will give it away, so let's borrow it." If you have the opportunity in the future, you will pay me back. ”

Huang Long, Wu Chuan and the others were dumbfounded, and Huang Long said: "Have you thought clearly, these gold and silver are soft and soft, I'm afraid there are hundreds of taels!" ”

Dongmen Qing said: "If you talk about it before, I don't take this thing seriously. Speaking of which, as long as I can be safe, a few hundred taels more or a few hundred taels less, it doesn't matter. "As he spoke, he was going to stuff it to Wu Ping, but Wu Ping didn't take it, and Dongmen Qing stuffed it to Zhang Wei again.

Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment and then took it, and said, "Okay! I didn't save the wrong person today! Wang Gongzi, if you don't dislike it, let's make friends! ”

Dongmen Qing was overjoyed and said: "Making a friend like Brother Zhang is better than a daughter!" ”

Huang Long and Wu Chuan glanced at each other and said together: "If Wang Gongzi doesn't dislike it, we are also willing to make friends with Wang Gongzi." ”

Dongmen Qing said: "Since you are willing to be friends, what else is you called Wang Gongzi." ”

Wu Chuan liked to say: "Yes, yes, Brother Wang!" ”

Zhang Wei stuffed the bag of property into Wu Ping's hand and said, "You also heard what Brother Wang said just now. Although this money is more, it is not the same to him as the sixty taels of silver to us. You just take it. ”

Wu Ping lowered his head and thought about it, and finally accepted it, and didn't say anything.

Zhang Wei was overjoyed and exclaimed: "Tonight is really happy!" Come! Take the wine! We're going to have a drink! ”
