【0444 Building Huludao】

Wei Bao really hadn't thought about this carefully, but Wei Bao's mind was spinning quickly, and it wasn't a problem: "It's not difficult, I can buy the generals of the Jiliao Department to help smuggle people!" As long as a port is built at the mouth of the Xiaoling River, the Liao people can run out without going through Shanhaiguan! Where do I see them going? ”

Wu Xuexia was a little angry: "Buy and buy, how many people have you bought?" Is it that from the court to the locality, people up and down have been bought by you? You have so many ghost ideas, I wouldn't have told you if I knew it, and this time, I'm making my uncle and father miserable! ”

Wei Bao's face flushed when Wu Xuexia said, and he smiled cheekily, but he was in a very good mood, "Your father can't lose a few taels of silver, and when you marry me, I will pay it back a hundred times and a thousand times, and if I marry you, I will get the most precious treasure in the world!" ”

Wu Xuexia heard Wei Bao say this, her mood improved again, she was hugged by her lover at this time, and her mind was on Wei Bao, and she didn't care about her father's loss of tens of thousands of taels of silver, anyway, her family's fields and population outside the gate were very small, maybe not even 20,000 taels.

"It's good to remember what you've said." Wu Xuexia's voice was greasy and coquettish.

"Remember, remember, never forget!" Wei Bao moved closer to Wu Xuexia as he spoke, and wanted to kiss Wu Xuexia's small mouth. After Wei Bao was reborn and crossed, he had never kissed a woman's lips, even if he did what he loved to do, he just kissed his face.

Women in this era are shy, men don't take the initiative to kiss women, and women rarely take the initiative to kiss back, even if they kiss back, they kiss their faces at most.

Therefore, Wei Bao's lips, in this era, are still virgin lips.

Wu Xuexia sensed Wei Bao's intentions, but she didn't dodge, and closed her eyes shyly.

Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia's hearts were beating fast.

Wei Bao himself didn't expect that the progress between him and Wu Xuexia would be so fast, from being separated immediately, they would definitely quarrel when they met, and from kissing, there seemed to be no distance at all.

Although he has been in love in modern times, this time, Wei Bao still feels like his first love, and deeply understands the golden girl's heart of a girl who has just fallen in love.

Wei Bao hesitated for a few seconds, but after all, he still didn't kiss Wu Xuexia's pink lips, he felt that he was quite 'kind', maybe he didn't want to hurt Wu Xuexia, maybe because he was not sure that he would marry Wu Xuexia as his wife in the future, knowing that this kind of arrogant girl, once she didn't fulfill her promise, she would definitely be mad, so Wei Bao just gently kissed Wu Xuexia's pink face at the corner of her mouth.

Even so, it was sweet enough, like kissing on a piece of rose-scented pastry, soft and unusually soft.

When Wu Xuexia was kissed by Wei Bao, her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and her whole pretty face was as red as a big red apple, and she didn't dare to open her eyes.

Wei Bao smiled, and kissed Wu Xuexia on the other side of her face, looking at Wu Xuexia, who was well-behaved like a little lamb, knowing that she might be able to do it at the moment, but she didn't go any further, but left a little distance from Wu Xuexia very gentlemanly and sat at each other.

It took Wu Xuexia a long time to open her eyes, and after glancing at Wei Bao shyly, she lowered her pink face like a newlywed daughter-in-law, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she was obviously still in an extremely excited mood.

"I don't care about you fighting with my family or my uncle, but I think you can think about me a little before you make a decision." Wu Xuexia said softly shyly.

"Don't worry, I know that I have damaged their interests at the moment, I will not take advantage of anyone, and I will return it to them all when the time comes!" Wei Bao laughed.

Wu Xuexia hummed softly, "I'm leaving, I really have to go, it's been a long time." There are not only my second brother outside, but also the people sent by my father to send me and my second brother. ”

"It's so unbelievable! This is the dictatorship of the feudal patriarchy! Wei Bao exclaimed angrily: "Don't go, I'll tell your father to go now." ”

"Wei Bao! Don't do that, I'm embarrassed. Wu Xuexia hurriedly held Wei Bao's hand.

Wei Bao grabbed Wu Xuexia's soft little hand with his backhand, and said with a smile: "I listen to you and don't embarrass you." Anyway, I'm going to go to Shanhaiguan in a few days, and I'll look for you when the time comes. ”

"Well, if you want to take the scientific examination, you should also leave more time for yourself to review your homework, I have a lot of books at home, and you can come to my house to borrow books when the time comes." The more Wu Xuexia spoke, the softer her voice became.

Wei Bao was overjoyed, and joked: "I'll go to your house, if your father is not at home, your mother is also at home, isn't it?" ”

"Oh, you just said that you came to find my second brother, what's wrong? My father and mother are not unreasonable people, you have a legitimate reason to find it, and they can still blast you out? Wu Xuexia sneered and laughed, her smile blooming like a flower.

"Hmm." Wei Bao smiled and nodded lightly on Wu Xuexia's pink nose: "Then what if your eldest brother blasts me out?" ”

"No, my eldest brother has been taught by my father, he won't bomb you casually, and besides, your identity is different now, you are a disciple of Master Inspector, who dares to bomb you casually?" Wu Xuexia said with a smile.

"The identity of this disciple of the Inspector is really important." Wei Bao said happily.

"Be sure to come to me, I'll be waiting for you." Wu Xuexia was holding Wei Bao's little hand, and gently shook Wei Bao's hand.

Wei Bao's heart blossomed, and he took Wu Xuexia into his arms again, rubbed her gently on her back, and answered her silently.

"I really have to go, it's been so long, others will gossip." Wu Xuexia got up from Wei Bao's arms in tears.

Wei Bao wiped away Wu Xuexia's tears, and couldn't help but kiss Wu Xuexia's left and right faces, and didn't keep having a long relationship, took the lead in lifting the curtain and getting out of the carriage.

Wu Sanfu saw that Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia's faces were flushed, and there were tears in the corners of his sister's eyes, so he knew that this time the conversation was very good, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not that we won't meet in the future, so we don't have to make it look like life and death." Xiaobao, you will come to Shanhaiguan to find me in a few days, we will play together for a few days, and then go to Beijing to catch the exam. ”

"Okay." Wei Bao smiled: "Second son Wu, please help me take care of the eldest lady." ”

"Hehe, my own sister-in-law, do you still need to say it? By the way, you have to return to me the 7,000 taels of silver I lost to the Heaven and Earth Firm, and my sister asked me for it yesterday. Wu Sanfu said.

Wei Bao sweated, you are thick-skinned enough, is it? If you lose to the Heaven and Earth Firm, isn't that a loss to me? If you don't buy me and lose, can you lose money? I'm embarrassed to ask for it.

However, Wei Bao didn't care about thousands of taels of silver: "Your silver can be returned, and the silver of other people in your family can't be asked for me anymore, and the casino must have the rules of the casino, right?" ”

"Yes, I know that." Wu Sanfu was very happy when he heard that Wei Bao was willing to pay back his gambling money, and agreed with a smile.

"Brother, when did I urge you to pay back the money? You want to gamble yourself, and you lost to Wei Gongzi, and you are still so stunned to ask someone for it, so embarrassed? Wu Xuexia couldn't help but complain on the side.

Wu Sanfu smiled and said to Wei Bao: "Did you see it?" This is the extrovert of a girl, and now she is starting to look at you everywhere, not even my brother. ”

Wei Bao looked at Wu Xuexia with a smile, and Wu Xuexia also looked at Wei Bao with affection.

The three of them gossiped a few more words, and Wei Bao and Wu Xuexia made reluctant eye contact for a long time, if it weren't for the Wu family's entourage and Wei Bao's own entourage, the two of them couldn't wait to stick together again.

In the end, it was Wu Sanfu's urging that the carriage set off, and Wu Xuexia kept opening the curtain to look back at Wei Bao.

Wei Bao kept waving goodbye in the middle of the road.

Back at the Governor's Mansion, Wei Bao immediately found the Governor and proposed to build a city in the north of Ningyuan City.

Wei Bao doesn't particularly care about whether to repair the city or not, he mainly wants to build a port wharf!

Ningyuan City is the Xingcheng of later generations, and wooden boats can be moored around here, and the wooden boats at this time have almost no restrictions, and they can dock anywhere, because the draft is shallow.

But it is not suitable to transport people and goods in large quantities, and the public construction of a port terminal can also be justified! Provide prerequisites for the generals of the Ji Liao system to secretly help sell the Liao people!

Because Shanhaiguan is controlled by the Liaodong Jiangmen, even if the army of the Jiliao system wants to secretly disrupt the trade of the Liao people, it is difficult to bring people into the customs, even if they can fish in troubled waters, the speed will definitely not be able to be improved.

Sun Chengzong listened to Wei Bao's suggestion, and immediately understood what Wei Bao wanted to do, and frowned: "Xiaobao, are you worried that the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong will not give everyone to you?" So build another city in the north of Ningyuan City? And build a port wharf? ”

"Yes, Master, I have received the news that not only will they not give me everyone, but maybe even half of them will not give me, and even if they hand it over, it will be some old and weak, sick and disabled. Young men and women will definitely not give it. In this case, there is not much point in buying Liaomin, and it is even a heavy burden! Wei Bao said: "And I have already asked people to investigate, Huludao is very suitable for building towns and opening ports and wharves, and the location is not a problem at all!" ”

Huludao is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province in later generations, formerly known as Jinxi, located in the southwest of Liaoning Province, adjacent to Jinzhou in the east, Shanhaiguan in the west, Liaodong Bay in the Bohai Sea in the south, and Dalian, Yingkou, Qinhuangdao, Qingdao and other cities form the Bohai Rim Circle, which is the west gate of the Northeast.

Huludao has a north temperate continental monsoon climate; Surrounded by mountains and seas, the terrain gradually decreases from northwest to southeast.

The Great Wall on the water, the Great Wall at the Nine Gates, the Xingcheng of the "Second Beidaihe", and the ruins of the Jieshi Palace during the Eastern Expedition of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty are all in Huludao.

But at this time, there was no place name Huludao, and Huludao was not called Jinxi, where it was still a barren beach. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that it was developed due to the population growth of the northeast.

The Huludao area belonged to the territory of the Yan Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Shanrong tribe lived here. In the late Warring States period, the Yan State defeated the Shanrong tribe and set up five counties in the north, now Suizhong, Xingcheng and other places belong to Liaoxi County, and the northwest of Jianchang belongs to Youbeiping County.

After the unification of Qin, the feudal system was abolished, and the county system was established, and Suizhong, Xingcheng, Lianshan and other places belonged to Liaoxi County. During the Western Han Dynasty, the county system was still retained. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, in the first year of Emperor Yongchu of the Han Dynasty (107 years), Liaodong was established, and most of the territory belonged to Changliao County (now Changli, Hebei) and Tuhe County (now Jinzhou) of Liaodong Subject, and the area of Jianchang was occupied by Wuhuan people.

During the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jin Dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, most of the area belonged to Changli County. At the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, the two-level system of prefectures and counties was implemented, and later the county system was implemented. Most of the area belongs to Liucheng County, Liucheng County.

In the first year of the Khitan meeting (938), the Khitan State changed its name to Liao, and the Huludao area was under its rule.

The establishment of county governance in Jinxi began in the 32nd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1906), and was originally called Jiangjiatun Fumin Office in Jiangjiatun, and then moved to Lianshan in the first year of Datong (1932).

"However, we just forced Zu Dashou and they agreed to relocate the Liao people, which is already very offensive to the interests of the local generals in Liaodong, and now if the port is opened, then the Liao people themselves will flee to Huludao in large numbers! In this case, wouldn't the big households in Liaodong not be able to receive the silver taels you promised to pay for the Liao people, and if they didn't register, they would not be able to collect the annual grain you promised to pay in the future. Sun Chengzong said: "In that case, it is equivalent to digging the meat of the Liaodong Jiangmen in Liaoxi, they will never agree, and they are bound to fight with you!" As a teacher, they may also be united against it. ”

"Teacher, no, we don't have to tell them at all, we just say that in order to strengthen the defense of Ningyuan City, we will build another acropolis twenty miles to the north! As for the port terminal, a few wooden planks can be built, so it doesn't have to be too formal! By the time Liaodong Jiangmen objected, it was too late. If they oppose it, the teacher will pretend not to know about it and stop it! Wei Bao smiled: "I already have a fleet of nearly 100 large ships in my hands, and I can transport 40,000 or 50,000 people a day!" In two or three months, you can empty the Liaomin! During this time, the Inspector went to inspect all parts of the front line, which made it difficult to find, and when the general situation was set, no one could say that the teacher would be on his head. Wei Bao laughed.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while, and smiled at Wei Bao: "Your trick is really bad, even if they suffer a big loss this time, it can't be counted on my head, this beam is too big, can you treat it as if nothing happened?" Not to mention the loss of millions of taels of silver from the big households in Liaodong at one time, and how much grain they won't be able to collect from you every year in the future, aren't they empty of bamboo baskets? ”

"That's their own fault, I was going to give Wu Xiang silver in advance, and the contract was signed! But they want to disobey the yang, what should we do? Aren't you going to take it? Moreover, the teacher has already offended these people, and if you want to ease it, it is actually impossible, we can only be stronger, let them be more afraid of us, afraid of the teacher, and the teacher can better control the situation in Liaodong! Wei Bao reassured.

"And what about the money that built the city?" Sun Chengzong asked.

"I am willing to provide all the building materials! Including the materials for the construction of Ningyuan City! As long as the Jiliao generals who are mentors have needs, I can take on the students! Wei Bao said: "In this case, how much silver is the teacher expected to need?" ”

"If you are willing to pack all the building materials, you don't need to go out, and an army of 10,000 or 20,000 will build a city very quickly, and it will rise in half a year! You take 300,000 taels! This money is sent down, and it also makes those generals who follow the old man all the year round a little sweet! Sun Chengzong said.

"Yes!" Wei Bao secretly calculated, the building materials plus the 300,000 two people labor costs, a total of about one million taels, although it is a loss to donate a city independently, but there is no way! In order to consolidate the defense of southern Liaoning, such a large sum of money should be regarded as doing good deeds! "For the sake of his teacher, Xiaobao will not hesitate to go to the soup! And after having Huludao City, Ningyuan's defense will be even more foolproof, the two are horns of each other, and Jiannu will never want to look at Shanhaiguan! The Jiliao army can also have a large enough and stable base in Liaodong! Liaodong Jiangmen couldn't be more difficult to jump on. ”

Sun Chengzong smiled: "Are you for the teacher, or for yourself, you know it in your heart." However, if you really build a larger and stronger city defense than Ningyuan City next to Ningyuan City, it can indeed greatly stabilize the defense of Liaodong! In fact, I had a plan for this, but the court didn't have so much silver! I even want to connect Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou City from the connection of Shanhaiguan, a fortress, and a city, so that Jiannu will no longer dare to fight the idea of Liaodong! ”

Wei Bao saw that Sun Chengzong agreed, so he stopped being verbose, and secretly wondered how much silver would you get according to your method of repairing the city? A city is connected together? Why don't you say that you will turn the whole of Liaodong into a huge castle? I don't have that much money!

When the meeting was held again that day, the atmosphere was much colder than yesterday.

The big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong, who woke up afterwards, were very angry in their hearts!

No one lacks tens of thousands of taels of silver, nor does they lack thousands of catties of grain that can be distributed every year in the future, and their main income comes from subsidies from the imperial court, as well as privately doing some off-the-table business with Jiannu and Mo Nan.

Once the power is thinned, the power of the Jiliao army will inevitably grow, and the power of the Liaodong family in Liaoxi will inevitably decline, not to mention that there is an increasingly prosperous Dongjiang army outside, in that case, the border army of Liaodong will become more and more worthless in the eyes of the Ming court!

Everyone smiled and greeted each other a few words, and then they all sat and stood in turn.

When everyone arrived, after half a pillar of incense, Sun Chengzong arrived.

With Sun Chengzong, there is also a large group of praise paintings, praise paintings are not real power official positions, but they are all official bodies, but Wei Bao is the identity of the common people, this is the only exception.

Wei Bao, who has no official body, is still standing in the front.

It's not that Wei Bao deliberately shows off, but other praise paintings In view of Wei Bao being a disciple of the Inspector, unless he is particularly old and has followed the Inspector for several years, who would dare to stand in front of the disciple of the Inspector?

"I said what I had to say yesterday, and it's good that everyone can think about things automatically and spontaneously from the overall situation of border affairs! The Liao people are temporarily withdrawn, and if they feel that it is not feasible in the future, they can get it back. Anyway, the silver is from Wei Bao, and the people are placed by Wei Bao. You don't have anything to lose, do you? Sun Chengzong got straight to the point.

What else can the crowd say? The generals and officials of the Jiliao system immediately nodded yes.

The big families in Liaodong in Liaoxi, all walks of life, are also scattered and say yes, they have already signed a contract if they are not convinced, and they can't move the thighs of the superintendent, what else can they say?

"As for the preparations for war in various places, as well as the reinforcement of the city walls of Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City, you should grasp these things yourself! Considering everyone's practical difficulties, I won't force it too hard, if the court asks, the main responsibility will be borne by me! Sun Chengzong said very magnificently.

Everyone hurriedly said that they must do the unfinished things as soon as possible, and all of them will be done, and everyone will say what the scene will say. If there hadn't been yesterday's incident, this kind of discussion would have been harmonious, happy, and a formality.

"General Zu, the 240,000 taels of silver donated by Xiaobao have all been taken away by your Jinzhou side, and the grain allocated by the imperial court will also be used by you first, now you can't say that the Governor's Mansion does not support your counterattack on Jiannu, right?" Sun Chengzong said.

"Rest assured, Master Governor, we will definitely strive to fight a battle with Jiannu near Quang Ninh as soon as possible, not to mention recapture Quang Ninh, at least kill 3,500 of his Jiannu to strengthen the momentum of our army." Zu Dashou immediately got up and said.

Sun Chengzong pressed his hand: "Don't be restrained, sit down, just sit down and talk." Since General Zu has said so, I have nothing to say, how to fight, you can do it yourself. The back-and-forth communication is not smooth, and in case of emergency, you don't need to inform me. ”

"Yes, Overseer." Zu Dashou sat down and agreed.

"I could have dismissed this meeting today. Let me say more, the city defense of Ningyuan City is not yet solid, I have listened to the advice of many generals, of course, among these generals, there are also many local generals in Liaodong, everyone thinks that between Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City, another city should be built! In this way, not only can it connect the transportation of Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City, but it is not easy for Jiannu to attract our reinforcements after besieging Jinzhou City, and then take the opportunity to eat our reinforcements. This is one of them, and the other is that there is a natural harbor on Huludao, and building a wooden wharf can contact Juehua Island and southern Liaoning, which is also conducive to the mobilization of grain and grass for the army! This matter, General Ma Shilong, you can handle it. Sun Chengzong said directly.

Ma Shilong immediately got up and said, "Master Inspector, don't worry, as long as the silver and stone are in place, I promise to build a bigger and stronger city than Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City within a year!" ”

Sun Chengzong did not say to ask for everyone's opinions just now, but directly delegated this matter to his close general Ma Shilong in the form of an order.

Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang and all the big families of Liaoxi and Liaodong, Jiangmen, as well as all the generals and officials of the Jiliao lineage, were taken aback.

It can be said that everyone present, one counts as one, they are all surprised, I don't know why Sun Chengzong suddenly made such a decision? Building a city is no small feat!

You don't seem to have heard similar rumors in the imperial court at all?

"This Huludao City is regarded as the acropolis of Ningyuan City, and it is still counted within the scope of the construction of the city wall of Ningyuan City. However, considering the huge size of the project, General Ma Shilong was specially asked to personally supervise it. Sun Chengzong said: "As for the silver and stone, all of them were donated by Wei Bao to the Governor's Mansion. 300,000 taels of silver, as well as all the stones for building the city wall, Wei Bao is in charge, is there anything else needed? ”

After hearing this, everyone was shocked again, this is at least about a million taels of silver, right? I've never heard of anyone donating to the Overseer's Mansion like this!

Wei Baoken donated 240,000 taels of silver to fight in Liaodong, which is already very scary, this time it's good, Wei Bao directly donated a city, what is this concept? What exactly does Wei Bao do?

Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, and the big families in Liaodong and Liaodong are gradually waking up, if there is an extra port city next to Ningyuan City, a dock that allows people to enter and exit at will, and it is controlled by the generals of the Jiliao system, this is equivalent to having nothing to do with the local generals of Liaodong in Liaoxi. This is not only that, coupled with Wei Bao's current plan to buy Liaomin, they immediately realized that if they didn't hurry up and hand over all the Liaomin in their hands to Wei Bao, all Liaomin would flee in the direction of Huludao together! When the time comes, everyone will be empty!

"Master Inspector, there is nothing wrong with building an acropolis next to Ningyuan City, but when it comes to importance, the first thing to bear the brunt of is Youtunwei and Jinzhou City, is it more appropriate to build an acropolis next to Youtunwei or Jinzhou City?" Zu Dashou asked.

Sun Chengzong said flatly: "This is not what I meant, it is the meaning of many generals, and also, this is a donation, Wei Bao's private donation, where does he like to donate, our Governor's Mansion is not too strong, right?" ”

Wei Bao also hurriedly said: "What the Inspector said is that I mainly think that the location of the Governor's Mansion is very important, and I am mainly worried about the safety of the teacher, if I build a city in the next place, I am not a wealthy family, such a large sum of silver, I also squeezed it out very hard, and I may not be able to take it out immediately." ”

When Zu Dashou and a group of Liaoxi and Liaodong family generals heard this, they all snorted, secretly thinking that you master and apprentice are talking to yourself, anyway, now that the silver is in Wei Bao's hands, Wei Bao can say whatever he wants!

Zu Dashou originally wanted to directly break Wei Bao's 'conspiracy', and point out Wei Bao's construction of a city in Huludao and a port wharf, in order to make the Liao people disperse faster! But this seems to be inconvenient to export, because if he and other big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong did not want to leave most of the young and middle-aged Liao people, they would not have the worry of being afraid of the Liao people being dispersed and fleeing.

Therefore, Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, and all the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong immediately saw through Wei Bao's 'conspiracy' and Wei Bao's 'tricks', and secretly scolded Wei Bao for being insidious and cunning, but it was inconvenient for anyone to make trouble for this matter.

After all, Wei Bao is using real money to support border affairs, support border defense, and support the construction of cities, and this matter is transmitted to the imperial court and to the Jinluan Palace of Emperor Laozi.

"Alright, there's nothing else to do, it's time to disperse." Sun Chengzong saw that everything was finished, Zu Dashou and the others did not make a fuss, and secretly felt relieved, so he wanted to accept it when he saw it.

Wei Bao said: "Teacher, if you are not busy, let's have another meal?" I have already asked people to arrange it, and I see that the generals and adults have been running around for days, all for the border affairs of the Ming Dynasty, so I have prepared some red envelopes for everyone to express my gratitude. ”

Sun Chengzong was stunned, Wei Bao hadn't told him about this before, he didn't expect Wei Bao to have this hand, and he invited him to eat and give out red envelopes.

However, this is a good thing, and besides, it is not like him to pay out of pocket, so why not? "Roar, this is a good thing, or Xiaobao is thoughtful, then I will thank you on behalf of everyone."

The future of the Jiliao Department and the officials heard that there were red envelopes to be issued, and it was the disciple of the Inspector who gave red envelopes to everyone, and they were all very happy, and they were very happy to be grateful to Wei Bao, no matter how much they sent or how little, they must be happy if they have extra wealth in their accounts.

Zu Dashou and others couldn't say anything in front of Sun Chengzong, and there were also a small number of people in the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong who thanked each other, but their voices were much softer, mostly out of politeness.

Not all the big families in Liaodong in Liaoxi hate Wei Bao, although Wei Bao has moved the interests of many people, but some of the big families in Liaoxi have now had business dealings with Weijiazhuang, and they have rules and regulations for Wei Bao and Tiandi firms, and they deal with Wei Bao and Tiandi firms, which is basically a steady profit, and some people have begun to accept Wei Bao.

The reason why Wei Bao wants to give out red envelopes is also a means to ease the relationship, no matter whether people talk about him or not, at least he tries to make actions to ease the relationship, which is fine.

Wei Bao said, and when he arrived at the door, two bags slipped from Lin Wenbiao's hand, one bag was a big red envelope with one hundred taels of silver, and the other bag was a red envelope with fifty taels of silver.

Wei Bao will look at people to send red envelopes, and generally generals and officials above the fourth grade only have a big red envelope with 100 taels of silver, and those below this level are red envelopes with 50 taels of silver.

And some of the senior generals of the Jiliao system, Wei Bao will even send two big red envelopes with one hundred taels of silver to express good intentions.

"Teacher, this is yours." Wei Bao sent the officials and generals first, and the first one had to send Sun Chengzong, and gave Sun Chengzong a stack of big red envelopes! Wei Bao didn't count it carefully, there were always one or two thousand taels of silver!

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "This is not a bribe, this is Xiaobao to see everyone's hard work in building slaves, and the private silver to reward everyone, this matter, as well as Xiaobao's donation of 240,000 taels of silver, as well as Xiaobao's donation of Huludao City and Huludao Port, and so on, everyone will write a joint notebook, and report this matter to the court together, we can't take Xiaobao's silver in vain." ”

Everyone said yes, this time, not only the generals and officials of the Jiliao system, but also most of the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong also spoke, and everyone was convinced that Wei Bao was only generous and did not hesitate to win people's hearts, especially Wei Bao was only a 14-year-old boy.

Everyone looked at Wei Bao's young and handsome face, coupled with Wei Bao's deep city, very calm work, and very smooth wrist, and they all secretly thought that this son must be great in the future! It must be a hero among people.

Whether it is to become an official in the imperial court or to be a rich man in the people, he will become a famous figure.

"General Ma, the matter of building the city is not in a hurry, the key is the wharf, which must be able to accommodate hundreds of large ships in and out within five days!" Wei Bao whispered to Ma Shilong with a smile on his face, and secretly grabbed a stack of red envelopes and gave them to Ma Shilong.

Ma Shilong is Sun Chengzong's trusted general, Wei Bao is Sun Chengzong's disciple, and Huludao was built with the support of Wei Bao, Ma Shilong naturally agreed, and said with a smile: "Wei Xiaoguan really knows how to be a man, don't worry!" I'll let people move later, stone and wood, there's no shortage around here! I also have nearly 10,000 people under my hands! It won't take five days, and you can get in and out as many boats as you come! ”

Wei Bao was overjoyed: "Thank you general, in the future, the general will only tell Xiaobao to do it." ”

"They are all people close to the Overseer, so why talk about this? Something to take care of each other. Ma Shilong said very face-giving.

Wei Bao smiled and continued to send red envelopes.

The reason why I want to give out red envelopes in person is to contact with everyone, which is a great opportunity to expand my network! Wei Bao, a person who attaches great importance to marketing, will naturally not miss such a good opportunity!

When it was sent to Zu Dashou, Wei Bao also grabbed a stack of big red envelopes and handed them to Zu Dashou: "General Zu, if Xiaobao accidentally offended anything in the past, you would not remember the villain." My stone is shipped over, and if Jinzhou City needs it, you can let someone pick it up. There are also your real estate in Shanhaiguan and Liaoxi, if you need me to send someone to help, you just have to talk. ”

Although Wei Bao's voice was not loud, Wu Xiang beside Zu Dashou listened to it really, secretly thinking that this Wei Bao was really good at being a man! Such a red envelope is sprinkled, at least more than 100,000 taels of silver are spilled! is polite enough to Zu Dashou, this is a hard-hearted person, and he will also find a step down by himself, after all, money is not a hand.

Who knew that Zu Dashou snorted coldly, and pushed Wei Bao's hand back at that time: "No matter how poor my Zu Dashou is, he doesn't rely on such a few silvers!" It's not that the city walls of Jinzhou City can't be repaired, it's that the manpower has not been idle! However, I naturally have a way, and it's not your turn to help an idler in the township? Say it and laugh off the big teeth of officialdom! ”

Zu Dashou's voice was not very loud, but it was not small, most of the people present were secretly paying attention to Wei Bao and Zu Dashou, and they all guessed that when Wei Bao gave Zu Dashou a red envelope, Zu Dashou would definitely have some changes, but they didn't expect that Zu Dashou really didn't receive Wei Bao's red envelope, which was very shameful for Sun Chengzong.

Sure enough, Sun Chengzong's face immediately elongated! If you don't give Wei Bao face, you just slap him in the face! But Sun Chengzong is not convenient to say anything at this time.

Wei Bao had just finished distributing the red envelopes to the generals of the Liao lineage of Ji, and was about to send red envelopes to the generals of the Liaodong department and the big families of Liaoxi, but he didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen after the first red envelope, and he didn't know how to continue.

There was silence for a while!

Fortunately, Wei Bao's face was thick enough, so he put a stack of red packages back into the bag, took five big red envelopes and handed them to Wu Xiang: "Lord Wu, it's a little meaning." ”

Wu Xiang looked at Zu Dashou, shook his head and said, "Master Wei, I also thank you for your kindness, take this red envelope, take it back!" My Wu family will not lack such a little silver! ”

Wei Bao said with a smile: "However, when I returned the seven thousand taels of silver that Brother Sanfu lost in my Heaven and Earth Firm to Brother Sanfu this morning, Brother Sanfu was very grateful, saying that he was just short of silver." Yes, whenever Lord Wu wants to ask me for this red envelope, I will immediately have someone send it to you. ”

Wu Sanfeng said angrily when he heard this: "Wei Bao, don't think that having two stinky silver is great!" Wu Sanfu accepts your money, because he has no backbone! The rest of our Wu family has nothing to do with you! ”

"The villagers are about to become fine, and with a few stinky silver, they are also abducted! However, don't think that with a few stinky silver, you are not a toad, you are still a toad! At most, half toad, half frog! "Zu Kefa is also a yin and yang weird way.

It made many big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong laugh.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, he didn't even change his complexion, and completely ignored Wu Sanfeng and Zu Kefa's verbal attacks, on this occasion, Wu Sanfeng and Zu Kefa naturally didn't dare to scold him.

Wei Bao still continued to send red envelopes, one by one, with the models of Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang in front, where would anyone from the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong accept Wei Bao's red envelopes? Even if many people wanted to take it, they didn't dare to stretch out their hands at this time, and they all felt that there was no need to offend other generals for a hundred two-striped silver.

However, even if no one came to receive the money, Wei Bao still pretended that nothing had happened, and still said a few words to everyone one after another, and told them that this red envelope, they wanted, and the people who could find his Tiandi firm at any time asked for it, and he registered it on the account for them.

There are also big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong who softly thanked Wei Bao.

Things in the world can't escape a word of reason, and a word of etiquette, Wei Bao can be beneficial, courteous, courteous and reasonable, and has done all the effort, as for whether people buy it or not, he really can't care about it.

"Master Overseer, I won't eat this meal! There are still a lot of urgent things in Jinzhou, if there is nothing else, I want to go back sooner! When Wei Bao was still greeting the generals of the families in Liaoxi and Liaodong, Zu Dashou said to Sun Chengzong in a loud voice.

Sun Chengzong calmed down and nodded indifferently: "Okay, if General Zu has urgent business, just go and get busy first!" The border affairs are the biggest, and everything else is trivial. ”

"Thank you, Master!" Zu Dashou said, did not hold his fists, and left very arrogantly with his head held high.

As soon as Zu Dashou left, Wu Xiang and a group of big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong also came out and seemed very united.

Wei Bao looked at Sun Chengzong helplessly, meaning that everything I should have done has already been done, so remedy, if they still don't appreciate it, I can't do anything.

Sun Chengzong nodded indifferently, the meaning was clear, and he secretly praised Wei Bao for doing a good job, anyway, many people are not to blame.

However, immediately, Sun Chengzong looked at the backs of a group of generals and big families in Liaodong and Liaodong, and his face was instantly covered with a layer of frost.

Anyway, with me, the Jiliao Inspector, present, you can't be so faceless, right?
