Chapter 113: The Legend of Fei Hong (2)

When Zhu Pingjin was steadily handling Li Chongwen's letter, Luo Yuhong was holding a quill pen and writing a letter on the table in the nursing hall of the Fan family's compound.

Quill? That's right, it's a quill pen that she made herself.

Who did Luo Yuhong write to, of course, it was her husband Zhu Pingjin.

In the middle of the night, Luo Yuhong left Niujiaozhai, left Zhu Pingjian, and rushed to Renshou County to bind Xu Hanqing's wounded soldiers.

Trauma is most afraid of infection, the cause of infection Luo Yuhong couldn't explain it clearly to the surroundings, so he had to learn from Dr. Bai, and forced the wound to be scraped clean with a fire-roasted knife, until the bright red meat was seen, and then cleaned with spirits. After applying the medicine, wrap it in a clean bandage that has been steamed in a pot, and change it every three days.

Renshou materials are extremely scarce, there is a shortage of medicinal materials, and even the spirits are urgently purchased from Jingyan County and Meizhou. Fortunately, there is no shortage of cloth and manpower. After more than 10 days, only one-third of the seriously wounded and only one of the lightly wounded died.

Marvel! Such a low mortality rate is nothing short of a miracle in this day and age!

Xu Hanqing is a veteran who has fought in battle. He knew very well that if he was seriously injured on the battlefield before, it was basically a death, and dragging it back only did not chill the living and affect morale. Among these wounded soldiers were the children of his Xu family, and most of them were saved this time, so he was very grateful to Luo Yuhong and came to the door to thank him four or five times in a row. More than forty seriously injured people who had controlled their injuries were to be sent back to Tianquan, Luo Yuhong went to Yazhou, and generously agreed to take them on the road together, promising to take care of them all the way, which made Xu Hanqing even more embarrassed. He wanted to give some gifts, but he thought that the future princess would be able to look down on such mundane things as gold and silver? Xu Hanqing thought about it, and simply sent Luo Yuhong four tall and sturdy men to act as guards.

Of course, you can't write about the guards, what if your husband is jealous? Luo Yuhong lay on the table, searching her stomach and thinking about what to write.

Q: Wedding date? No, I'm a yellow flower girl now, and it's too cheap to urge marriage. It's better to hint at it, not at the beginning or at the end, hide in the middle, and remind you a little in casual language.

Tell us about the project of the military pot helmet? No, the responsibility for failure is not on oneself. If you want to blame this era, even the simple thing of flour is not popular. Wheat is steamed and eaten like rice, and it has a proper name called wheat rice. Cut! It's unpalatable to death.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what's the best thing to write?

What Zhu Pingjin is most concerned about is his politics, personnel, land, food, silver and army, that is, those things that fight for hegemony and war!

Then write some of these, Luo Yuhong sighed, dipped some ink in the inkstone with a quill pen, and began to put down the pen.

She wrote that she arrived in Ya'an on the day she learned from Lei Feng, and now lives in the landlord's mansion. The air in Ya'an is very good, but it is still the same as in the previous life, there is too much rain. It's raining twice in three days, it's really annoying!

Hong Qihui and Fan Zhen arranged for her to be the main house of the Fan family's compound, called Yiyangtang. But she heard that the old landlord was hanging on the beams of the house, so she resolutely refused to sleep in it, and only used it as an office.

As an office, the main advantage of Yiyangtang is that it is large enough to accommodate many people to work together, and it is extremely efficient. Next to it is the silver vault, and it is very safe to guard.

She found a small courtyard near the Yiyang Hall to live in, and heard that she used to live in the second lady of the landlord's family. The yard is small and elegant, and the work is close. Chen Youfu also brought a lot of flowers and plants, which she liked very much. She rented out the courtyards on the left and right sides of the landlord's mansion, and those large households whose houses were burned down lived in it, and the rental contract was signed for three years, paid for half a year, and paid first and then lived. If you don't earn their money, you're sorry for yourself.

Writing this, Luo Yuhong turned her pen and began to write about the serious things that Zhu Pingjin cared about.

Wang Guochen was very respectful to her, and when they met, they invited her to a whole fish banquet, and gave her several jewels and a few maids. She felt that it would hurt her face to return it, so she accepted it, and she didn't know if it was considered a bribe. If Zhu Pingjin didn't agree to accept it, she was going to give Wang Guochen some silver, even if she bought it.

Hong Qihui is a very capable person who takes care of Ya'an's affairs in an orderly manner. She now uses Hong Qihui as an assistant.

Hong Qihui is capable and can also rectify people. As soon as she arrived in Ya'an, she heard that Hong Qihui and Wang Guochen joined forces to beat a big family surnamed Zhang in the city into a fellow thief, and sent troops to arrest the family and raid the house. Now the person is still locked up in the state prison, which is very pitiful. The reason for the arrest is said to be that Zhang Dahu refused to surrender his land to the palace and sold the grain to the state government, and he also sent news indiscriminately in the landlords' circles.

Hong Qihui arrested Zhang Dahu, and the other big families in the city were frightened. The wives and daughters of several families often come to her to walk around, and the purpose is to find out the news, which makes her very annoying.

Luo Yuhong was writing about the climax, when he heard Xiaohong and Wang Sizhong arguing at the door:

"This maid is Miss's handmaiden, who can enter if I can't enter? You don't care about your big head soldiers, don't you get tired of running to Miss Luo's door every day to stand up? ”

Little Red was loud. This girl, since she got along with Song Zhenzong, she has been talking loudly.

Then came Wang Sizhong's whispered explanation.

This Wang Sizhong is too! He is the supervisor of the fifth company of Zhu Pingjin's committee, and he does not stay in the army, but runs to his door every day to stand, and he also protects the absolute safety of Miss Luo. His little body, still protecting me?

There are double posts at the entrance of the Fan family compound, double posts at the entrance of the sleeping garden, double posts at the entrance of the Yiyang Hall, double posts at the door of the silver warehouse, and double posts at the entrance of the office. Outside are Chen Youfu's soldiers, and inside are his Tianquan guards. If you want to talk about safety, this is the safest place in Yazhou City right now. He Wang Sizhong stands here every day to show his loyalty, he must not want to stay in the army, he wants to go back to the palace, and hopes that I can deliver a message to Zhu Pingjin!

Luo Yuhong was still in a daze, Xiaohong had already pushed open the door and broke in, and the fresh air was enveloped in with the dazzling light.

"Miss! The two palace clothes you ordered, the tailor's shop has already delivered. One is red, one is yellow, it really looks good! Shall we try it now? It's in the garden! And the one you made was called a bra or something, and I also sent several pieces! ”

Luo Yuhong put the letter that had written the beginning on the table, then raised her head and shouted: "I'm going to get married, and I don't understand the rules like this!" Don't see the sign hanging at the door? Please make an appointment in advance! ”

Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, her mouth wanted to move, probably wanting to say that she didn't know much or something. Luo Yuhong didn't wait for her to speak, and immediately ordered Xiaohong: "Get out!" Don't disturb me today! ”

Seeing Xiaohong's eyes red, Luo Yuhong's heart softened and said, "Put the things first, and wait for me to try when I come back from work!" ”

"But those two tailors are still waiting for you!" Xiaohong was so anxious that she stomped her foot.

"Then call them in the evening! If they don't have anything to do, you can ask them to measure it for you. I'm going to get married, and I don't know how to dress up! ”

"Great!" Xiaohong burst into tears and laughed, turned around and ran out, and the door didn't know how to close it.

"Come back!" Luo Yuhong chased to the door and stopped Xiaohong.

"Don't be like this girl! Zhu Pingjin said, it's not the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, wearing that kind of clothes is called overstepping the system, and she wants to be killed! ”

The door creaked and closed again.

"No matter how nice you dress, you can't take a few selfies!" Luo Yuhong thought sadly, "Future generations can only rely on imagination to guess what I look like today!" ”

She staggered back to the table, flipped the letter over, and continued writing.

In addition to the tea estates in the mountains and forests, not counting the tea estates in the famous mountains, at present, in Ya'an and Hongya County, Jiading Prefecture, Wangzhuang's own cultivated land has nearly 100,000 mu, and the amount donated will be doubled. According to the rent collection standard of 50% and 10%, the palace can net 140,000 to 160,000 stone of grain income every year.

Hong Qihui believes that Leshan is on the edge of the Minjiang River, and the cultivated land conditions are better than those in Yazhou, so he should lay out in Leshan as soon as possible and infiltrate the power of the royal palace. She was a native of Leshan in her previous life and knew the local situation. So she gave Tang Mo three thousand taels of silver for the activity fund, hoping that he could lay a few nails in Leshan in the near future.

But Qionglai and Meizhou did not open up the situation. Zhang Shilin and Sun Zhishou of Qiongmei explained that the land donated by the two places was not much because the small landlords were looking at the face of a bully landlord named Yang Tianguan, and the government was also secretly opposed.

Qiongmei is far away from Yazhou and close to Chengdu, so it's best for you Zhu Pingjin to take care of it yourself!

Cao Santai has been back from Tianquan for a few days, and his face is plateau red. Tianquan's field has been built, Cao Santai is attracting investment in Yazhou, and he will go to Leshan and Yibin (Xuzhou Mansion) to attract investment in the future. There was a royal government to take the lead in smuggling, and the merchants were very active, and even the merchants of Liangshan and Xiaoliangshan (Sichuan Xingdu Division, Zhishu Jianchangwei, now Xichang City) came to the door. The businessmen lobbied Cao Santai and wanted to buy shares in the field. Cao Santai did not agree to buy shares, but just said that after paying a management fee of 10% of the value of the goods, he could let other merchants use the signature of the palace to transport goods, exempt the two customs of Tusi and Rongchang, and also enjoy the rent discount of Tianquan Rongchang store.

The value of the goods is 10%! This greedy old fox! If those merchants want to do business in Tibet, they can only pay obediently!

Zhu Pingjin, I found that you are more powerful than me in making money! I used to make money, now you are robbing money!

However, this year's rain is sufficient, and the spring tea market in Mengding Mountain is not as good as last year. Cao Santai reported that Mengdingshan spring tea is being shipped to Tibet one after another, and it is estimated that the amount of tea will be no less than 300,000 stones, worth more than 800,000 taels of silver. The tea leaves in spring and autumn a year, plus the management fees collected and the rent of the farm, should reach at least 1.8 million taels!! ”

"One million eight thousand taels!!" Luo Yuhong put two huge exclamation marks after the number, and after thinking about it, he added another sentence, "If we get married this year, what a good gift this is!" ”

Luo Yuhong sighed, the old husband and wife, and they still play guessing riddles like when they were in love! She dipped her quill pen in ink and continued to write about the smuggling trade.

Since Tianquan opened the store, the huge demand for tea, cotton cloth, porcelain and other daily necessities in Tibet has been immediately released. Some of these daily necessities are for Tibet's own consumption, and the rest will be exported to India and Nepal through Tibet for entrepot trade.

Historically, the South Sichuan-Tibet Road, which started from Yazhou and went to Lhasa via Kangding and Mangkang, was more prosperous than the Yunnan-Tibet Road.

The advantage of the South Sichuan-Tibet Road is not that the distance is shorter and the mileage is less, but that Sichuan, as a terminal of the tea and horse trade route, is not only the origin of trade goods such as tea, cloth, porcelain and silk, but also the main consumption place of horses, cattle and sheep, leather, sand gold, medicinal materials, swords and other Kang-Tibet native goods. Merchants can carry out shuttle trade at both ends of Sichuan and Tibet, and earn two pieces of silver back and forth!

In addition, the Sichuan-Tibet Road and the Yunnan-Tibet Road converge in Mangkang, from Mangkang to Ya'an, there are Batang, Litang, Yajiang, Kangding, Luding, Tianquan and other larger towns as support, especially Kangding has always relied on the tea and horse trade to gain a foothold. On the contrary, from Mangkang to Dali, there are fewer cities along the way.

From Lhasa to the middle Sichuan-Tibet road from Nagqu, Qamdo, Aba and Wenchuan and Dujiangyan to Chengdu, and from Gannan to Chengdu through Ruoergai and Songpan, the North Sichuan-Tibet Road is also very prosperous in history, and it is not inferior to the South Sichuan-Tibet Road. Of course, Zhu Pingjin wants to monopolize the tea and horse trade, but the time is not ripe at present, and Zhu Pingjin's hand has not yet reached out.

Luo Yuhong knows this better than his husband.
