Chapter 296: The Crisis of the Wang Family
Since the Wang family got the right to sell official salt from the government, there have been troubles one after another. was harassed by the imperial court's inner guards, and lost a lot of family soldiers. I thought about winning the three shops of the Ma family on Qingshui Street, but I didn't expect that this weak old man Ma was not good at stubble behind him, he didn't take advantage of it, and he made a commotion.
The strength of the Xue family and the Zhao family is equal, and every once in a while, they send people to secretly intercept the Wang family's caravan, and make Wang Laohu scold his mother. Helplessly, the only family soldiers in his hands were almost assassinated by this group of families, and the family soldiers trained in the secret base in the deep mountains of Blackwater City were still on the way to be transferred.
Lao Wang has been holding his breath in his heart, when the soldiers arrive, he must do a big job, I see what this group of guys can do with me? During this time, the Wang family suffered heavy losses. In order to win the right to sell this official salt, he spent a lot of money, and during this time, he fought openly and secretly with this group of guys, which alarmed the government, and spent a lot of money to settle these things.
The Wang family's current account office is in urgent need of replenishment of silver, and Lao Wang is very anxious during this time. But the three major families outside were staring at them with their eyes open, and the toothless tiger could not pose a threat to them.
"Uncle Hou, where are our soldiers now? I really can't hold back my energy, when did my old king get this bird anger", Wang Laohu said as he stomped around with his hands behind his back.
"Master, you just calm down, wait another day, the letter says that you can arrive tonight, there are many people and horses, it is inconvenient to walk", said the housekeeper Hou
Wang Laohu mobilized 80,000 soldiers at once, and the mighty must be eye-catching, under the arrangement of Steward Hou, these soldiers gathered in Qingyun in eight ways. Besides, the current palace can only accommodate 30,000 soldiers, and the remaining 50,000 can only be placed in strongholds outside the city.
"How's the Cao Gang contacting those people?" Wang Laohu stroked his beard and said
"These people from the Cao Gang are very realistic, they don't cooperate without money", Steward Hou said helplessly
"It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, Lao Tzu is really about to be killed during this time, I underestimated the strength of this group of people", Wang Laohu said unconvinced
"The tigers are hard to beat the wolves, and we will clean them up when our men are ready," said the old butler
"Don't contact those people in the Cao Gang for the time being, let's take a batch of goods from outside the customs first, and then look for those people in the Cao Gang when the silver loss is replenished," Wang Laohu said
"I've arranged all the goods outside the customs, and I'll do it as soon as the soldiers arrive," said Steward Hou
"Uncle Hou, fortunately the Wang family has you, without you, I really can't bear it, raising a few sons is useless, I make trouble for Lao Tzu outside all day, I'm really worried that one day I fall, this Wang family's century-old foundation will be over", Wang Laohu said
"Several young masters are still very young, and in a few years, when they grow up, they will naturally come over to share their worries for the master, aren't all children like this now?" , Steward Hou said
"Alas, seriously, it would be great if I could live another hundred years, and the whole Qingyun must be my world," Wang Laohu said
"It's not far from that day, when our soldiers arrive, we will kill the Ma family first, and then clean up the Xue family and the Zhao family, and Qingyun will no longer be able to compete with the Wang family," Steward Hou said
"Uncle Hou, what you said is very right, that Ma family, you must clean it up first, I didn't expect that a few girls in that weak old man Ma's family are so powerful", Wang Laohu gritted his teeth and said
"Look down at the Ma family, the Ma family has always been a woman, the old lady of the Ma family is not a simple character, the Ma family can not fall until now, it is inseparable from the credit of the old lady, now that the old guy has not made a move, a few daughters-in-law have blocked us, if the old lady makes a move, our current situation may be dangerous", Hou Steward said
"The Ma family has hidden it deep enough," Wang Laohu said through gritted teeth
"How many friends do we have in our house now?" Wang Laohu looked at the old housekeeper and said
"The soldiers have been consumed these days, don't think about it, now there are only more than 2,000 people left, these people are okay to work, and it is estimated that there is no fun in fighting", said the old housekeeper
"Lao Tzu's more than 1,000 family soldiers have all been consumed in just over a year, and I am really unwilling," Wang Laohu said
"There is no way, it takes time to train family soldiers, we must wait patiently, we can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, these 80,000 soldiers are a very strong team, if there is no more than a year, we don't have such a strong force at all", Hou Steward said
"I hope these guys don't let me down," Wang Laohu said
"Don't worry, sir, the combat effectiveness of our first batch of family soldiers has been tested, and these 80,000 soldiers are even more powerful than the previous batch," said Steward Hou
"Then I'm relieved, it's really troublesome for me during this time," Wang Laohu said
"Don't worry about it, master, let the two thousand families in the house guard the Wang family's mansion first, don't care about the outside affairs for the time being, those families don't dare to come over to find trouble, as long as we don't move, they can't know how many of us are? How strong is it? Steward Hou said
"What's going on on over there now?" Wang Laohu asked
"The Wang family doesn't have anything now, those guards have been fooling around in the Smoke and Rain Pavilion all day long, and they haven't seen any movement," Steward Hou said
"The Xue family and the Zhao family have recruited a lot of people from the rivers and lakes, and it is estimated that they are also supplementing their strength, in the front time, our caravan was robbed, it should be a good thing done by these two recruited people, and when the soldiers arrive tonight, I will immediately send someone to clean up these flies on the periphery first", Steward Hou said
"Those flies must be cleaned up as soon as possible, the impact on our Wang family is too great, many shops, goods have been broken, must be replenished as soon as possible," Wang Laohu said
"Uncle Hou, should we recruit some martial arts people? Temporary addition," Wang Laohu said as he stopped the old butler
"That's not necessary, those so-called people in the rivers and lakes are all little thieves who eat and cheat, and they don't have much strength, and when our soldiers arrive, we can get rid of them immediately," the old butler said with a smile
"At this time, master, you can't panic, let alone blindly make decisions," said the old housekeeper
"Uncle Hou, I'm under a lot of pressure, I've been tied up hand and foot this year, I've been losing money every day, and I'm about to lose all the money in the treasury, can I not be in a hurry?" Wang Laohu said
"There are profits and losses in business, when you should lose, you will lose quickly, when you should earn, we are not ambiguous, wait, the Wang family will get better in the future", the old housekeeper said
"That's what Uncle Hou said, I hope so, I'm really haggard", Wang Laohu said helplessly
