Qi Tai said: "No, there must be something big happening to Gongzi." ”

Mu Rongshan became serious and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Qi Tai's eyes lit up, and said: "Childe doesn't have to hide it from me, I am not a loyal courtier of the Ming Dynasty, but a lonely ghost who was driven away, relying on you, but I also have the opportunity to return to the township, I am grateful to you, Xiao Lao'er is just, come to ask what can be served." ”

Mu Rongshan felt a little hesitant, thought about it, and said with some confusion: "Who told you this, I don't feel right." ”

However, the eyeballs are looking for their personal brothers, what about Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan?

Qi Tai said with a smile: "No one said anything." ”

Mu Rongshan was about to have a seizure, but he heard the old man Qitai mend the knife and say: "However, there is a Vietnamese tenant in my family, but recently he has trembled, and he said that his daughter has good luck and follows a nobleman, and she can be prosperous and rich in the future." ”

Mu Rongshan felt bad and said, "The tenant? ”

"No, he asked me to quit, and when I settled the account, I saw that he was all bright, and he was really lucky, and when I asked, my daughter was really a nobleman."

The more Mu Rongshan thought about it, the more wrong he became, and said, "That person can't be me." ”

"Exactly."

Mu Rongshan was silent, he naturally remembered that he did accept a few local women, all of whom were aesthetically in line with his impression, but his skin was slightly fair, and he was gentle and obedient, he was naturally very satisfied, and as the inevitable choice of this process, it was natural to give some money to other people's families, in fact, in this era, the women who entered the house had a salary, called monthly silver, and Mu Rongshan was naturally generous, first gave a settlement fee, and naturally had money every month.

What makes him most proud is that the management of these women is completely dependent on Li Hongsleeve's three daughters, and he just enjoys it, which is almost about to corrupt him into a supporter of feudalism.

These are the little things.

But how did this old man discover something through them?

At that time, he had a cold face, but it was actually very simple, after all, men also have some weaknesses, and now that their weaknesses have been discovered, they are naturally very uneasy.

Qi Tai was not afraid, and said slowly: "Actually, the tenant didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, and there is nothing wrong with relying on his daughter to get rich, where are there fewer such people since ancient times, I still have to feel the kindness of adults, at least I know that it is intimate to them." ”

After all, it is not yet the time to take over power, Li Xiangqian is happy to use a little corruption to attract the elders to work outside, and when he enters the next stage, he will naturally have a way to control it.

Of course, in all fairness, before coming, Mu Rongshan had a large budget in his hand, which he could use at will at the beginning, regardless of where he went, to buy the loyalty of Hongji and even the Vietnamese.

And the money Mu Rongshan gave to the families of those Vietnamese women did not exceed three hundred taels back and forth, according to his observation of their appearance and well-behaved, it was simply worth it, but the money was a sky-high price for these poor people.

Thinking of this, he naturally felt funny, would his ambition be exposed here.

Mu Rongshan pretended to smile disapprovingly, and said: "What's there, it's just some small money, I always like to spend money on the women around me, what is this." ”

Qi Tai smiled and said: "However, what Gongzi did in Hongji, I just went to ask, after all, my family's vegetable garden is the largest here, naturally, Gongzi's people will come to my house to buy things." ”

Mu Rongshan was surprised, this person not only has a lot of tenants, including his cheap father-in-law, but also runs a small vegetable garden, considering that this person has been in Vietnam for more than ten years, he is really good enough to operate.

"That's still pretty good."

Qi Tai said: "Everything here in Vietnam grows rapidly, but it can't withstand wind and rain, and there are a lot of typhoons, so it's naturally troublesome, but the people of Gongzi seem to have revealed something." ”

"Oh?"

Qi Tai said: "Childe's people, come to me to buy, but they are very generous, give a lot of money, ask for a lot of quantity, and want the freshest vegetables, but also said, at least half a year to come to me, naturally I know, Childe will stay in Hongji for at least half a year, but half a year later, it is like wrapping up my vegetable garden." ”

Mu Rongshan knew that he had made a mistake, this mistake was not in the money, but in the fact that the people around him, as the spies who were assigned, naturally also had the responsibility of engaging in some intelligence, although he did not necessarily know that he was going to do something to Vietnam, but he often asked them to inquire about various news and collect information on war preparedness.

What is Mu Rongshan here for? Fight the front station, repair the port, the road, facilitate the landing of the army, collect grain, meat, vegetables, salt, facilitate the army to march, investigate the military situation in various places, facilitate the elders to drive straight in, in short, it is the former enemy intelligence officer, the others, whether it is deliberately giving cement to the Vietnamese, or deliberately spraying the pig in the port and letting it make a big fuss in the port, is this idea!

Naturally, all kinds of sanitation work, as well as dietary problems to be solved, Mu Rongshan naturally asked people to secretly collect Hongji's various production conditions, and even gave them money to plant more, so that the army could start in a few months.

At this point, it seems to be exposed.

"So, what is it, it's nothing."

Qi Tai was very careless and said: "No matter what the son plans to do in Vietnam, my Qi family is willing to follow, I just want that after the matter is completed, let my Qi family return to their hometown and take revenge." ”

Mu Rongshan said, "What can I do here?" ”

Qi Tai smiled and said: "Our businessman, there is no other ability, is to figure out the mind of a nobleman, Gongzi came to Vietnam, although the cloud to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but never leave Hongji, although the cloud seeks beauty, but it is very modest, always the mind is here, and the Lord Zheng Zhiwen also ordered me to inquire about you, what about the child, do not seek wealth, do not seek beauty, only afraid of what you want, but it is just ......"

"Okay, you don't need to say it, your family has grievances in Guangdong, I understand, if you want to wash it up, it's not a big deal, but it doesn't necessarily require me."

Qi Tai said, "Childe, please fulfill it." He suddenly knelt on the ground, but frightened Mu Rongshan, and then cried: "My family was originally just an ordinary merchant, but the ancestral tomb of the family was favored by a big family, not to say what a good hole is there, after the forced purchase could not be made, he picked up a relative of his family, and forced my family to buy military supplies for the government, but the pity only gave a hundred taels of silver, and asked my family to buy 10,000 taels of things, if you can't buy it, you will be killed, you can't be forced, the little old man can only flee with his family, poor my eldest brother, to live and die with the ancestral tomb, only today, has long been in prison, It is better to live than to die. ”

Mu Rongshan probably heard about it, but it was also a little numb, this is not only the numbness of this matter, in this era of the Ming Dynasty, or the whole world, is basically this virtue, the way to protect their property, in China, the only way to go up to study to get a fame, right, you must raise a family that can fight at any time, and without the protection of fame, it is basically the same as a sheep that enter the wolf pack.

In the West, nature is a different way to play, and of course, Mu Rongshan doesn't care very much.

Qi Tai knelt there, Mu Rongshan pulled twice in a row, but found that he might not be as powerful as this old man, in fact, he couldn't pull it up, so he gave up and said with a smile: "Old man, why bother, let's talk slowly, I already know your thoughts, I know, when you defeat Guangdong, someone will naturally administer justice for you." ”

While the two were talking, they had already walked to a hidden shed, but they didn't have to worry about being spied on, and there was naturally Hu Tiehua guarding the periphery, and Mu Rongshan was not afraid of exposing anything, but it was very troublesome.

"Childe, if you can take over my business, I have a report on it, and it will be fully effective."

"Oh, let's hear it."

"In the Hanoi court, I know that someone has fornicated with the southern Ruan clan, and I occasionally find out, but I don't dare to say it, both sides actually look at us Han people, but we are workers who can do things and make money, who has provoked, there may not be benefits, but there must be disadvantages, so, I dare not say it."

Mu Rongshan seems to understand a little, in this era, when you are such a fuck, there is no shortage of bastards.

However, this news is really valuable, the "Zhengsoft" war has lasted for a hundred years, and there is secret contact on both sides, which is a very normal thing, it is estimated that no one thinks it is fresh, and he and others are here for this, and they are really not afraid of doing things in a high-profile manner.

Mu Rongshan said: "That's it, you write a defense, I'll take your case here, this kind of thing is not a trivial matter, I will send people back to the imperial capital, and when I take Guangdong, I will naturally help you try the case." ”

Qi Tai hurriedly said: "Childe, it's not that Xiao Lao'er doesn't trust Childe, it's really the prefect who was in charge at that time, and he has been promoted in Guangdong all these years, and it's almost time to step down and return to his hometown, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to take revenge." ”

Mu Rongshan also understands that the ancestral grave is dug up, which is almost a mortal enemy, and their family is afraid that it will be difficult these years, it is the same to leave their hometown, the humiliation of the ancestral grave being dug is the same, and it is the same to watch their enemies be proud of the spring breeze and make a fortune in the officialdom.

This family is only afraid that they are going crazy, and now that they see themselves, they probably have observed themselves for a while, and now they are sure that they have a way to help take revenge, so they came to curry favor.

How?

Mu Rongshan didn't have much time to think, but he saw Na Qitai waving to the door, and a woman with a girl appeared in the distance.

"This is the old granddaughter, the appearance is quite good, the character is also obedient and well-behaved, knows how to serve people, if the son does not dislike it, please make a bed for the son to fold the quilt ......"

Is this considered a bribe, Mu Rongshan felt ridiculous, but it was not very ridiculous.

People's requirements are not low, and they don't have a large army in their hands, and their strategy for Guangdong has always been based on Huairou, but under the policy of being an official in a different place, there is really no local official, that person was a county order more than ten years ago, and then he could be slowly promoted, so naturally there are some tricks.

In retrospect, at that time, the imperial court was drawn to the north and did not pay much attention to the south, and sent a proud official like Xiong Wencan to the north, and the result was that he was killed by the northern men in seconds.

This also shows that the strategy against Guangdong cannot be too simple and rude, and as soon as you arrive in the locality, it seems that it is not a good choice to massacre local officials, if this kind of "trivial matter" is just a "trivial matter" of breaking the county and destroying the prefect, if it is for a few fart people, you will offend the officials in the system, then how can other people ensure their safety.

He looked at the girl with unease and fear, and was forced to look up and laugh, but the horror in his eyes was inevitable.

This is the main theme of this era.

Not only did he not feel like a high-level person who was flattered by a superior person, but he was somewhat sympathetic, in the final analysis, Mu Rongshan was just a pseudo-Wenqing, Wenqing could only cheer for himself in this situation, and the pseudo-Wenqing would not consider anything about the ups and downs, but it would also have a bit of humanity.

Mu Rongshan thought about it for a while and said: "Having said that, you have to let me investigate and investigate, I will take this matter, but you can't rely on your family's words to use the power in your hands to kill, there must always be some discipline, you don't have to be afraid of this, no matter how you look at this kind of thing, it is a big deal, even if it is more than ten years, the evidence will not be less, I will investigate, it is naturally convenient." ”

Qi Tai is like getting amnesty, he is not young, and what he is sad about every day is that he doesn't know if he can return to his hometown in this life, and how to repay the revenge of the year, but at this time, he is old and sees hope, and someone who can cure those bad people finally appears, and he made a promise.

At that moment, he added fuel and vinegar to the evidence, that is, a land deed, in his hand, and said: "Although the son sent someone to inquire, although I don't want to publicize my family's affairs everywhere, it is not a small thing in the end, and there must be people who remember it." ”

Mu Rongshan took a look and said, "Okay, I won't say anything about other things, I just ask you, don't talk about my affairs everywhere, um." ”

Qi Tai was grateful, but he was still diligent, trying to please him.

"By the way, this little woman, you can take it back, I'm very busy here."

The kind of locals who have nothing to do with it can still be used, but this kind of woman who has a tendency to do things should not be introduced into her own house.

Qi Tai said: "Since I went home with my son, I won't hide the things here, and I can stay here because I am a character in Vietnam, but the son of his family, who is not too old, wants to marry my little granddaughter as a concubine, and I have no choice but to accept it, but today, since I have followed my son, I must not let my granddaughter be so wronged." ”

This point ignited Mu Rongshan's lung tubes, and Chinese have always felt that it is very uncomfortable for their own beautiful women to marry outside.
