Chapter 439: Heavy Reward
Chapter 439: Heavy Reward
For the addition of Tang Xuan, a new member, it is meaningless to the guards and entourage around Jiang Feng, for them, it is normal for a person of Jiang Feng's status to accept a beautiful woman, and even Sima Zheng, who is in charge of security, feels that walking outside as the head of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, without a girl who is waiting for him, is really a flaw.
Jiang Feng was actually a little embarrassed, for him, it was the first time to accept a woman outside so rashly, and he didn't know how the women in the family would react.
According to Jiang Feng's plan, the next arrangement should be to go straight to the south of the Yangtze River, go around Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, go to sea in Taizhou, go to Yizhou to inspect a circle, and then return to Huazhou.
However, a few days ago at Lin Yutang's house, the Feng Yong he met said something that made him quite interested, according to Feng Yong's statement, it was said that Lin Jiadao of Laizhou and Sima Cheng of Liu Twelve had already contacted their group, and the original plan was to let the salt shovel of the 'black dog' come under Jiang Feng's command, but he didn't expect that these people turned out to be Jiang Feng's old department, that is, according to the way they used to treat the lost soldiers of Chen Deaf and Liu Thirteen's chaotic army, they were directly picked up by boat and returned to Huazhou by boat, and other arrangements were made.
However, Feng Yong felt that he was Jiang Feng's descendant, and if he didn't make a career for his own family, he would be disgraced when he returned to Huazhou, so he wanted to do something big.
However, after the Spring Festival of the nineteenth year of Jiajing, the thirteen large chambers of commerce and guilds in Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou jointly gave a reward.
The content of the reward is to hunt down a merchant, the merchant's name is Deng Min, and the reward is 100,000 taels of silver, see the first level to pay the bill.
The order for this bounty was distributed through various channels to various cottages in the green forest, bandits on the water, gangs of all sizes in the prefecture and county, and even Jinyi guards and guards, all received this bounty. As mentioned many times before, the great prosperity of maritime trade has led to the vigorous development of handicraft workshops and shops in the Jiangnan area, and industry and commerce have replaced the land as a money-making industry in Jiangnan.
Shandong's salt industry conference inspired these big industrialists and businessmen, knowing the power of unity, they are all grouped into chambers of commerce according to regions or industries, after the annexation of big fish eating small fish, only thirteen remained, these thirteen cover almost all the entities of Jiangnan industry and commerce.
They have always been full of contradictions, but this time they joined forces to make such a reward, which is really incomprehensible, but it is precisely because of the scale and power of these thirteen families, so the reward of 100,000 taels is particularly convincing.
Feng Yong also had such thoughts, he felt that if he returned to Huazhou with the 100,000 taels of silver, firstly, the name of the black dog salt shovel would be famous all over the world, and secondly, the 100,000 taels of silver would be regarded as a huge amount of money, and everyone knew that Jiang Feng was particularly interested in silver money, so returning to Huazhou would be considered glamorous and decent.
After Jiang Feng learned about this matter, he was also very interested, and the reward of 100,000 taels of silver was offered to reward the life of a businessman named Deng Min.
What is the amazing secret of this Deng Min that can make people pay so much attention, judging by the legendary plots of those films and television in the previous life, this person either has a shocking wealth hidden treasure, or there is a huge secret involved, after coming to Daming, I thought that I could find some talents for myself, and what flaws could I have in observing Daming.
As a result, the person was the master craftsman Wu Guang found in Jingshi, and he didn't find the flaws in Daming, but he found a lot of flaws in his Huazhou system in Daming.
Lin Yutang has no supervision, and as a result, he wants to dig the corner of the master's house, and the example of corruption and corruption is clearly seen, it can be said that the meaning of this trip has purely become Jiang Feng's sightseeing, and Jiang Feng is not willing to continue to stay, and is ready to leave by boat.
However, this matter really made Jiang Feng interested, but he really wanted to see who was worth 100,000 taels of silver, so he arranged this plan.
Although Lin Yutang's case is now that it is concluded that the salt merchants of Lianghuai entered Shandong to kill people and burn houses because of revenge, and those 'murderers' were also killed by the officers and soldiers and the green forest in Zoucheng, there are still some people's eyes on Jiang Feng to see if there are any flaws here.
Encountering such a situation, Jiang Feng simply didn't go out, and every day in the courtyard arranged for him by Sanjiang Commercial Bank, there was food and wine, and the beautiful Tang Xuan was waiting on the side, not in a hurry, and he was very happy, there was like the kind of suspect who was panicked after committing the crime.
Jiang Feng seems to be relaxed, but the eyes and ears of Huazhou in Shandong, Nanzhili and Zhejiang are all taking action, just to investigate the origin of this Deng Min, speaking of which, the highly developed business in Jiangnan and the north is different, in this place, merchants around the country actually set up their own fast horse urgent newspaper.
There are carriage and horse shops between the various large prefectures and counties, these carriage and horse shops are private post stations, all kinds of express reports are passed back and forth through the fast horse riders of this carriage and horse shop, and the things found out in Songjiang are written on a thin silk by Sima to engage in the development of the outside line, sealed in the bamboo tube.
Ten taels of silver were handed over to the carriage and horse dealers, and the ten taels of silver were the so-called eight-hundred-mile expedited, of course, as they were called in private, and the riders over there carried small burdens with urgent letterheads to pass quickly between the carriages and horses. As a result, it only took eight days to teleport from Songjiang to Jiang Feng's hands.
On this thin silk, Deng Min's information is very complete, but there is nothing unusual at all, Deng Min is a native of Songjiang Province, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, has no wife and children, and achieved the merit of Xiucai at the age of thirty, but it may have been bought with money.
Deng Min's family has been a businessman for generations, although it is not a wealthy family, but it is also rich and wealthy, and the family runs a weaving workshop, and the business has been prosperous over the years. Deng Min has a very bad reputation in Songjiang, he is not doing his job properly, and he spends all his time drinking, and it is a miracle that this transaction is not crossed in his hands.
I don't know why, half a year ago, Deng Min's workshop income suddenly increased a lot, a month later his workshop was burned down, the workers were burned to death in the factory, Deng Min didn't know where to go, half a month after the fire, the largest thirteen commercial houses in Jiangnan issued a reward.
Jiang Feng can probably also imagine what this Deng Min is like, such a character has begun to appear in Huazhou, the maritime business in Huazhou and Yizhou is prosperous, and a lot of money has been earned, and the children in the family will not take care of it a little, and they will develop the habit of extravagance, anyway, according to the world at this time, these second ancestors can spend several lifetimes to be extravagant, and Jiang Feng also has a headache about this.
He simply sent people to open all kinds of liquor shops and Qinglou casinos in Seoul, and let these gentlemen and those maritime merchants who came from all over the world to consume them, and at the same time strictly manage the members of the civil guards in the ten towns, so that they must not be contaminated with this corrupt atmosphere.
But such a gentleman, burning down the factory is a broken family, why did such a person still cause the thirteen major commercial banks to jointly chase and kill?
Jiang Feng's interest became more and more intense, since he had made up his mind to see it, there was no need to continue to delay in Jining, it was already a vibrant, green March, and Lin Yutang's affairs were calm, after the Lin family came to receive it was confirmed that it had been completely handed over.
With fifteen guards brought from Huazhou, as well as sixty people brought by Tieding Feng Yong, and Tang Xuan, the group took a mighty boat and went all the way south.
In the north of the Lost Bil Khanate, in addition to the Lost Bil Khan, the next three largest nobles in the entire Khanate are Wan Hu Nayan, but each Wan Hu Nayan does not have enough 10,000 households in his hands, and when he really fights, each person can bring out 6,000 cavalry, which is already a huge number for the Khanate.
When the scattered tribes of Wathorn and Tatar were led by the two Wanhu Nayan to the Lost Bil Khan, the Lost Bil Khan and the three cronies of the Ten Thousand Households wanted to divide the livestock of these foreign populations, which is why the 20,000 Mongols would have traveled thousands of miles and would rather surrender to Jiangfeng than stay in the Lost Bil Khanate.
The borders of the Obir Khanate had been retreating to the east over the years, and the territory of Nayan Dariachi stationed in the east was shrinking, and he could no longer bear it, and finally ignored the orders of the Obir Khan and the painful lessons of these years, and went into battle with 3,000 cavalry.
The Cossack expeditionary force sent by Roganov consisted of no more than four hundred men, all of whom had fled from Poland, and Count Roganov took them in and gave them equipment and weapons in exchange for himself the land to the east, and as long as he had done so, he would not collect taxes from them.
The Cossacks thought that this was a dead end, but they never expected that their opponents would be so vulnerable.
There were no new tactics in the battle between the two sides, and the Mongol cavalry, which far outnumbered the Cossacks, surrounded the Cossacks, but at a distance of about a hundred paces from the Cossack formation, no one could rush through, only the corpses of men and horses lay on the ground.
The Cossack arquebuses roared incessantly, but the bows and arrows of the cavalry of the Obir Khanate could not shoot at all......
