Ma Cheng, who got the first venture capital, was in a very good mood, and after leaving his mother, Ma Cheng went to find the housekeeper Ma Gui again, informing him that he would go outside the city tomorrow to select some labor. Now that the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil in the north, there are 20,000 or 30,000 displaced people outside Fengyang City, which is a good laborer, as long as you give a bite of food to eat, you can work for you.

At the same time, Ma Cheng also has a careful thought, Lianghuai has always been a place to produce elite soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the Huaisi general group to start is all Fengyang people, tomorrow is called to select labor, in fact, Ma Cheng wants to choose the right people for his first arm.

Ma Cheng found Ma Gui and conveyed his mother Gu's meaning to him, Ma Gui was also taken aback, one thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Later, Mr. Huang Renyu estimated that one tael of silver during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to 300 to 400 yuan in later generations. But when Huang Renyu wrote the fifteenth year of Wanli, it was the 80s, can the 300 yuan at that time be compared with 2019? Therefore, when converted into 2019 currency, one tael of silver is about 1,000 yuan.

One thousand taels of silver is one million, which is not a small amount in later generations, and it may not be possible to run a factory, but a sugar workshop can still do it.

Ma Gui heard Ma Cheng say this, and hurriedly bowed down and asked, "Second Young Master, the old slave knows, tomorrow morning, the old slave will go to find the Second Young Master!" ”

Ma Cheng and Ma Gui explained a few words, then turned around and prepared to go back to their small courtyard, I don't know what happened to Gu Changwei's side.

After turning a few yards, Ma Cheng happened to see Aunt Zheng coming over on the opposite side, Aunt Zheng saw Ma Cheng and quickly avoided the side, and then Ying Ying bowed and said, "I've seen the second master!" ”

Although Aunt Zheng is Ma Shiying's concubine and Ma Cheng's little mother, the Ming Dynasty is different from later generations, and the second wife can compete with the main house for family property openly. The concubines of the Ming Dynasty had no status at all, and if they did not give birth to a boy and a girl, they would be swept out of the house when they were old. However, Aunt Zheng did not have this worry, she was very angry and gave birth to a concubine Ma Xi for Ma Shiying.

This kind of small alley in the back house was originally narrow, and Aunt Zheng stood on the side with only a road that was not wide, and Ma Cheng came to Aunt Zheng to smell the fragrance of flowers on her body. Naturally, there were no perfumes in later generations in the Ming Dynasty, but it was still possible to make flower petals into essences.

Ma Cheng smelled the fragrance of osmanthus on Aunt Zheng's body, and couldn't help but be a little confused.

Ma Cheng looked at the front and back of no one, and laughed in a low voice: "Aunt Zheng is so fragrant!" What perfume is used? ”

It stands to reason that Ma Cheng is already rude when he says this, although Aunt Zheng's status is not as good as Ma Cheng, but after all, she is Ma Cheng's father's concubine, and it is really inappropriate for Ma Cheng to say this. However, Aunt Zheng is not a good person, listening to Ma Cheng say that she has incense on her body, although she doesn't understand what perfume is, she still knows the general meaning.

Aunt Zheng smiled like a flower and said: "The second master is really joking, it's just a home-made osmanthus essence!" ”

Ma Cheng looked Aunt Zheng up and down, Aunt Zheng is not tall, only about 1.5 meters, which is the average height of women in the Ming Dynasty, but Aunt Zheng was specially trained to seduce men when she was a child because she was born in a Datong prostitute family, so although she is thirty-five now, her every move is still full of different styles.

"Aunt Zheng, what are you doing when you don't rest at home at this hour?" Ma Chengse asked with a smile.

"Second master, the slave family heard that the second master boiled good white sugar, so the slave family wants to ask for a bowl and prepare to make some Wenxi boiled cakes for the third master." Aunt Zheng's status is low, even her own son can't be called a big name, but must be called the third master, and Ma Xi's legal mother is Gu.

Unexpectedly, the news in the house spread fast enough, Ma Cheng smiled and said, "Aunt Zheng is going to go to my place to ask for some sugar?" But I think the white sugar I boiled is not white, and it is too far worse than Aunt Zheng's breasts! ”

If the first few sentences of Ma Cheng are a bit excessive, this sentence has really transgressed. If it is changed to Aunt Zhao, another concubine of Ma Shiying, she will definitely push Ma Cheng back. But Aunt Zheng was originally a fireworks woman, and she was favored by Ma Shiying when she was in Shanxi ten years ago, but in the past ten years, Ma Shiying was demoted and returned to Nanjing, and Aunt Zheng was suppressed by the wife of the main room, Gu, and she had no chance to be with Ma Shiying in recent years.

As the saying goes, thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, and fifty is like sitting on the ground and sucking the soil! Aunt Zheng is the age of a tiger wolf, where can she endure loneliness? But the Gu family is too strict at home, and Aunt Zheng doesn't dare to attract bees and butterflies, so she has no choice but to use Mr. Jiao to comfort her loneliness on weekdays.

Although Ma Cheng is not good-looking, he is a handle after all, so Aunt Zheng listened to Ma Cheng's teasing, she glared at Ma Cheng with watery eyes, and then laughed in a low voice: "How does the second master know?" Have you seen it? ”

As soon as Ma Cheng heard this, there was a door, and it happened that there was no one now, so it was better to do a good thing with this slut.

"Hehe, if Aunt Zheng doesn't believe it, she can let me see it, it would be better if she touched it!" After Ma Cheng finished speaking, he put his hands deep into Aunt Zheng's arms and stroked them carefully.

Although Aunt Zheng is thirty-five years old, she is well maintained, and her breasts are a little sagging, but she does not destroy the feel. Aunt Zheng was touched by Ma Cheng, and said in a low voice: "Go to my house, there is no one there!" ”

Ma Cheng was also impatient, and was just about to pull Aunt Zheng to her house to accomplish good deeds, when he knew that an exclamation suddenly came from the other side of the wall.

This exclamation frightened Aunt Zheng, if she seduced the second young master and was discovered, she would definitely be sold. Aunt Zheng was trained to please men when she was a child, she had no life skills at all, and she could only repeat her old business when she left the Ma family, but she was too old to look good, and no one wanted her in the big yard, so she could only go to the lowest prostitute to beg for a living.

Aunt Zheng didn't care about the half-leakage of her breasts at this time, and hurriedly whispered to Ma Cheng: "Second master, go and see who it is?" ”

Ma Cheng was also startled when he heard the exclamation, if his insulting father's concubine was seen, it would be over, and he still had to rely on Ma Shiying's own power, and he was still developing his fart! Ma Shiying knew that he would definitely kill his relatives in righteousness!

The wall of the courtyard where the sound was made was not high, only one meter high, and it was full of bamboo, so I couldn't see the situation inside, and only heard the sound of people running inside. Ma Cheng didn't care about Aunt Zheng at this time, and flipped over the courtyard wall with both hands, and chased after the voice. When Aunt Zheng saw that Ma Cheng had gone to chase the man, she packed up in fright and returned to her house anxiously waiting for news.

After Ma Cheng entered the bamboo forest, he found that there was a figure shaking in front of him, and knew that this was the person who made the scream, Ma Cheng quickly chased after him, and captured the person when he was about to leave the bamboo forest.

At this time, Ma Cheng realized that the person who exclaimed was not an outsider, but his sister-in-law Zhang.

It turned out that Zhang came out of her mother-in-law Gu's house and returned to her house, she was very annoyed, not for anything else, it was because her mother-in-law partially handed over the family property to her uncle Ma Cheng.

Ma Shiying's family now has some family background, but most of it is the dowry of the Gu family, and the seven or eight shops in Nanjing City are a lot of silver. Not to mention that Ma Shiying used his power to unite with Gu Congxin's illegal salt industry, and the Zhang family estimated that the Ma family's annual income was at least about 5,000 taels of silver.

The Zhang family is the eldest daughter-in-law, and it stands to reason that the mother-in-law should hand over the housekeeper rights to the Zhang family after the Zhang family passes the door. But the mother-in-law did not have a good impression of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family had only given birth to a daughter for almost ten years, which made the mother-in-law even more dissatisfied, and naturally the right of the housekeeper was gone.

Zhang's family was born in the Zhang family in Ningbo, although he is not the daughter of the Zhang family's family, but Zhang's father Zhang Xinfang is also a dignified master, so Zhang's received the most complete family education when he was a child, and he knows that the most important thing in a family is money, and it is impossible to do it without money.

However, Ma Luan, the prime minister of the Zhang family, is obsessed with the imperial examination and does not attach importance to these money and family properties, plus Ma Luan is the eldest son, if the Gu family is really absent in the future, her dowry must be Ma Luan's big head, so the Zhang family was not in a hurry before.

But today is different, Zhang knows that the price of white sugar is low in Fengyang, but in the rich Suzhou and Hangzhou Prefectures, the kind of white sugar that Ma Cheng brought can definitely be sold at a good price.

Zhang's saw that his mother-in-law Gu did not take the sugar making technology into the public school, but gave his uncle Ma Cheng a sum of money for his own development.

Zhang wanted to object, but she couldn't speak at all in front of her mother-in-law Gu, so she had no choice but to go back to her house and sulk. It happened that the weather was good today, and Zhang went out of the house without a ring, and went alone to the small bamboo forest in the courtyard to relax.

But when Zhang walked to the depths of the bamboo forest, he heard movement outside the wall, and Zhang's curiosity became great and he went to the wall to watch what was going on, and he knew that he was seeing Ma Cheng caressing Aunt Zheng's breasts.

This can scare Zhang's half to death, Zhang's adhering to Confucian education, this kind of filthy thing didn't expect to happen in front of his eyes, Zhang's couldn't control himself and let out an exclamation, but he didn't expect to be heard by Ma Cheng.

Zhang knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly wanted to flee back to the house, but Zhang's little feet were inconvenient to walk, and he was caught by Ma Cheng before he ran twenty meters.

Ma Cheng didn't expect such a person to be his sister-in-law, Ma Cheng grabbed Zhang's arm and asked, "Why are you?" What do you see? ”

Although Zhang's heart was beating wildly, but the loser did not lose the battle, Zhang scolded viciously: "What do you see? Seeing you beast, it is better to tease your father's concubine! ”

"You... Don't talk nonsense, she seduced me first! "Ma Cheng is definitely a ruthless person, Aunt Zheng who was obviously harassed by him just now, and now he wants to beat him upside down.

Zhang's just now saw that it was Ma Cheng who first seduced Aunt Zheng, and now seeing that Ma Cheng did not admit it but framed Aunt Zheng, Zhang said with disdain: "Uncle didn't expect you to be a waste, why don't you dare to admit it?" ”
