Chapter 16 The Origin of Jingjiazhuang

Qin Bai left for a while, and only then did Yun Xi and the others appear at the door of the silk village, with a satisfied look, and asked the subordinates to carry the purchased goods to the carriage behind, and then they returned to their own car.

He Wenxian was already waiting in the carriage, and under the command of Uncle Lai, the convoy drove in the direction of He Fu. Yun Xi put down the veil, her face was as delicate as a flower, and she was twenty-nine years old, which was the best age.

While the convoy was walking, Uncle Lai was outside the carriage to report what had just happened. As long as it is a matter related to He Wenxian, the seventh master of the house, Uncle Lai does not dare to slack off, he knows that although the third grandmother is a woman, when she does things, she never rubs sand in her eyes.

"Oh? You say the man has good punches and kicks? Fought with Zhenwei's Iron Brothers? ”

"Third grandmother, that's not all." Uncle Lai agreed with a smile, "He can also draw and read, and he knows how to advance and retreat, and is very sensible." ”

Yun Xijiao laughed: "What does Uncle Lai mean......?" ”

Uncle Lai laughed with him: "Those little ones can't hide it from the third grandmother." The little one thought that it was the time to employ people in Jingjiazhuang, and he was ready to open a new iron furnace. If that person is innocent, he can receive it for use in the house. ”

Just now, Qin Bai put down his body and it still had an effect, at least Uncle Lai and they no longer had a bad feeling. Moreover, the force in the He Mansion cannot rely on the Zhenwei Martial Arts Pavilion alone, and it will never let a certain family become bigger. There are also many outlaws and veterans who do dirty work, but the most trusted are the guards composed of the sons of the Fuzhong family. The son of the family is the slave who has been a slave in Hefu for generations, and shares the honor and disgrace with the master's family, and also wins the trust of the master's family the most. In addition, among the disciples of the Zhenwei Martial Arts, there are also many sons of the He Mansion, which is the planned infiltration and control of the He Mansion.

Of course, the most threatening thing must be He Guanzhang's status as a court official. If you really offend ruthlessly, just one post, and the army of the imperial court may be pulled over.

So Uncle Lai's idea, if Qin Bai and the burly younger brother are innocent, then sign a contract to accept them as children; Of course, it doesn't matter if you are not innocent, you can also do the dirty work. He didn't think about it at all. Being able to become the son of a big family is definitely a good way out in this era. How many people cry and shout and can't ask for it? Didn't you see Feng Suo, the elder brother of Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, that is, one of Zhenwei Sanying, the eldest son of the owner Feng Sihai, he happily signed as the son of the He Mansion and served as a personal attendant by the side of the second master He Guanzhang?

Yun Xi pondered slightly, suddenly raised his head and asked He Wenxian with a smile: "Seventh brother, what do you think?" ”

He Wenxian thought of the album that had just flipped through a few pages when he was bored in the carriage, and pursed his lips disdainfully: "Don't say a word, vulgar." He still hated Qin Bai for underestimating himself, but he had a good impression of Tang Dong. And a lot of simplified Chinese characters are used in the album, and He Wenxian, who has received an orthodox education, is very unaccustomed to it.

Yun Xi smiled and ordered, "Dare to scare the seventh brother, don't like him." "For Hefu, there are many people who stutter, and it doesn't matter if there are more or less.

"That's it." Yu Ting on the side waved her little fist and said, "That person was still scaring Miss just now." ”

"Yes, Third Grandma."

Seeing Uncle Lai leaving, Yun Xi joked with a smile: "Yes, he even dares to scare my family Ting'er?" ”

"Nope!" Yu Ting twisted her body and didn't cling.

He Wenxian said: "But that person is very good, and they all say that Zhenwei's martial arts are top-notch, but that person has fought back and forth with Zhenwei's iron brothers." Sister Huan'er, Sister Ting'er, let me tell you, ...... at that time"

He Wenxian thought that experience was very interesting, talking about the eyebrows flying and dancing, and Yuwan Yuting also listened to it with relish. When they finished talking and laughing, Yun Xi looked at He Wenxian with pity: "Seventh brother, you study hard at home every day, it's time to relax." In this way, I will go to Jingjiazhuang in a few days, and I will take you with me to play there for a few days. ”

"Sister-in-law!" He Wenxian's face was happy, but he was a little hesitant.

Yun Xi smiled and said, "It's okay! When I came back, you studied hard behind closed doors before the exam, and I didn't follow me when I wanted to go out. Don't worry, I'll go and say on Madame's side, if there is any scolding, my sister-in-law will bear it for you. "Yun Xi still loves her little uncle very much.

……

Yun Xi leaned quietly against the wall of the carriage, quietly pondering what to do.

In fact, there is no family surnamed Jing in Jingjiazhuang, everyone knows that more than 100 years ago, Yun Xi's great-grandfather Yun Feihu led 22 heroes to unify the local private mines in Laizhou, and signed a covenant to establish 22 Jingjiazhuang. And twenty-two is a "well" word, so it was named Jingjiazhuang.

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, the monopoly of salt and iron was strictly enforced, so only the iron smelting of the government existed, and all kinds of private mining were severely cracked down. However, as time passed, the discipline became more and more decadent, and corruption became more and more rampant. By the time of Yingzong, there had been a large area of losses in various parts of the country, which was really speechless. You must know that the mining of official metallurgy is carried out by prisoners and conscription, and there is no need for wages at all, and even blacksmiths have no wages for blacksmiths, and even black-hearted points, the food of conscripts and craftsmen needs to be provided by themselves. Therefore, there is no cost at all, and there will be a large area of losses? It can only be said that it was all embezzled by those officials who went up and down.

The imperial court was also overwhelmed, so it simply let go of private smelting and only charged a mining tax of one or two or five yuan per hundred catties of pig iron. As a result, heroes and heroes from all over the country flocked to grab mineral resources, and there was the first chaos in the mining industry of the Ming Dynasty.

Yun Feihu was also one of them, after nearly 20 years of fighting, deceiving, forming alliances and rebellions, he finally swept away all opponents and unified the private metallurgical industry in Laizhou. And he also entrusted his relationship to become the Jingjiazhuang inspector, don't look at the inspection, it is a nine-grade miscellaneous stream, but at least he has become an official of the DPRK and China. Moreover, the inspection is similar to the current director of the police station, with inspectors under him, who are in charge of the formal armed forces, and have great power and energy in the local area. If you still can't understand it, just think about the pavilion chief of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, which is similar to the nature of the Ming Dynasty inspection, and it can cover the sky in the local countryside with one hand.

As a result, after the Twenty-two Covenants, peace was finally restored to Laizhou and a period of rapid development of private metallurgy was entered. Especially in Jingjiazhuang at this time, there are three types of people left: one is working for Yunfeihu; One is those who want to work for Yunfeihu; The third category is one - Yunfeihu!

What a desirable pride that is? What a nostalgic history is that?

However, with the inheritance of generations, most of these 22 families have been lost in the long river of history. There are those who spend time drinking and drinking, those who ask for land, those who fly into trouble, and those who are eliminated in a hurry, and when it comes to Yunxi's father's generation, there are less than ten families left.

Thinking of this, Yun Xi couldn't help but sigh in his heart......

The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes!
