Chapter 115: Routine Departure from the City and Approaching Danger

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, those who had money and leisurely continued to celebrate the New Year, but the business of each family and the affairs of the yamen began to return to normal.

The more than 100 people in the fifth-floor village do not have any annual leave, but the food and housing are exceptional, and these young people who are accustomed to living a hard life in the guard house and the craftsman camp make fun of each other and say that they will be a house slave under Lord Jiang, even if they go to the guard house to be a hundred households now.

In other words, Jiang Feng is now also a hundred households, although Jinyiwei is said to have eight guards, but the thousand households and hundreds of households are not completely in accordance with the full quota of the Ming military system, about one-third of the Jinyi Guards in Nancheng are under his control, but there are no thousands of households under his control.

Life is very comfortable, then again, behind this is the great eunuch Zhang Yong, the commander of the Jingshi soldiers, and it is said that the Jinyi Wei command Lu Bing has a very good relationship with the Jinyi Wei hundred households, and no one wants to take care of it.

There are many kinds of black and white businesses in the casino Qinglou in Nancheng, and there are Shuntianfu Yamen, Jinyiwei, and Wucheng Terracotta Division with actual jurisdiction in Nancheng, but Jiang Feng feels very strange that there are a total of three hundred households and one thousand households in Nancheng, according to reason, those shops should be dedicated to themselves, but the news of serving as a hundred households has been nearly ten days, but they have not earned a penny.

Of course, the amount of silver money in and out of Huifeng Lou every day is really a lot, but this is all the money earned by Huifeng Lou doing business, Jiang Feng didn't care about these things, just carefully read the remarks from the 'little profit', and several of them said that this winter, there was heavy snow in the Tartars, and as a result, a large number of cattle and horses died.

Therefore, all kinds of skins are particularly easy to collect, and the trading of various leather goods stores is very good, but it is also recorded that several old people are talking and chatting, and these words are quite surprising to Jiang Feng, saying that as long as there is a heavy wind and snow in the north, the harassment of the Tartars at the border pass will start again.

If you don't know if there will be a big military disaster, when the various tribes of the Tartars go south, it is not once or twice that they hit the edge of the Beijing Division, and every time at this time, those big families and nobles have to withdraw people from the capital to the capital, or to Zhending or Tianjin Guard.

After all, the manor is not a fortress after all, and there is no high wall and deep stream, and the cavalry of the brigade will come over, and when the time comes, it will be the accumulation of virtue in the previous life.

Zhang Liang is now a small flag, so naturally he is following Jiang Feng's rising tide. At this time, he was boxing behind Jiang Feng, and the wine shop opposite Huifeng Building had been expanded a lot, and the space inside was quite spacious, and even when Jiang Feng was dealing with the official duties of Jinyiwei, Zhang Liang could play a complete set of boxing techniques in the back. Now Zhang Liang has begun to learn how to split and hang in Bajiquan.

Running and those basic daily repetitive exercises have already achieved results, and now Zhang Liang's lower plate is stable, and he can systematically learn the Bajiquan method.

"Apprentice, how are the materials delivered from the fifth floor village?"

Jiang Feng had already closed the notebook and subconsciously tapped on the tabletop, generally speaking, if he could enter the room where Jiang Feng was in the wine shop, it would be quite unfamiliar, there was a wide tabletop and high chairs. This can be regarded as a wish that Jiang Feng has always had, and in modern times, he has always been more greedy for the boss's desk and chairs in the restaurant owner's office.

Zhang Liang's footsteps suddenly solid, and he threw three punches in a row into the air, and after taking a light breath, he completed a set of punches, and said with a smile:

"On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I started to transport things over there, and those boys were very motivated, and they had already shot out more than 30 long firearms, and there were a lot of various weapons."

Jiang Feng smiled lightly there, Zhang Liang spent no less than a thousand taels on the eunuchs and a cadre of people who managed weapons in the capital, this is just money to buy off and make connections, and those important ordnance claims to be secret, and you can take out as many as you want.

"Where does Bachelor Liu's family live?"

Zhang Liang shook his head and said in embarrassment:

"Officials of this grade can only be ordered to be monitored by commanders and high-ranking officials of Qianhu, and I only rely on a few relatives and familiar people to check here, and there is no result yet."

Jiang Feng was quite helpless, although the current Jingshi is not as big as modern Beijing and Shanghai, but it is also a huge anomaly, if he quietly finds a place to live, there is really no place to find it, and he knows in his heart that Master Liu is going to avoid his search.

As he lived in the Ming Dynasty for a longer time, he also knew what the things he did in Master Liu's mansion and Liu Fangrui meant, who knew if these Taoist gentlemen would do anything extreme, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and slammed his fist on the table, Jiang Feng said viciously:

"If there is any strength, I will cut you with a thousand knives."

Zhang Liang on the side suddenly jumped back, and said quite aggrievedly:

"Master, I haven't done anything unreasonable, why?"

Since the first month of the month to mention 100 households, Huifeng Lou's business is prosperous in a decent manner, and the "little profit" business is not to make money, basically Huifeng Lou is now the morning tea profit can be supplied with "a little profit", so it is quite boring after being idle.

Although he is a hundred households, he is different from Zhang Liang's father's old military household, he was promoted too quickly, and he can be called rich and powerful, arrogant and fierce, and the kind of Jinyi guard officer who is just a snake in the ground around him is quite unsociable, Xu Tianbiao also said this at a certain dinner.

said that if he hadn't accepted Zhang Liang's apprentice by mistake, I'm afraid that someone would have joined forces to stumble.

Jiang Feng thought about it, and suddenly stood up and followed Zhang Liang and said:

"I'll go back and prepare first, and I'll go to the fifth floor village with you tomorrow, and I have to rest assured that there are some things to see."

Zhang Liang was not surprised when he heard this, nodded and agreed, and went out to prepare, whether it was public or private, some people knew that Jiang Feng had also bought a small village outside the city, and he was not surprised when he went over from time to time, and when he returned home, Jiang Feng prepared the waist knife and the corresponding household goods.

The current Su Guanyue is the "financial director" of Jiang Feng's business, and all the income and expenditure are checked in the hands of the girl, and she was greedy for 600 yuan for the purchase of ingredients in the 'little profit', but she didn't expect it to be seen by Su Guanyue in the account.

The next day, it was found out, and it turned out that everyone was a lot more self-disciplined, and they all knew that there were capable people who managed money in Jiang Feng's family, but no one could have imagined that it was their housewife.

It is also common to go out of the city in the first month, many big traders have already eaten the spring wine, and they are officially open, Jiang Feng is now a small guest of Old Man Li's carriage and horse shop, and he regularly hires seven or eight big cars, and the rest are sporadically hired.

Zhao Xiucai and more than a dozen children did not follow, Jiang Feng had already set the rules, if he came to the capital or went back to the mountains to visit, he could only walk a third of the way at most, but Jiang Feng looked down on the family affection of these people in the mountains, in their eyes, their children were studying in the capital, and it was a blessing to eat well and live warmly, thinking that their children were enjoying happiness, that was to say.

The weather is quite wonderful, although there is a heavy snowstorm on the grassland, and countless cattle and sheep have frozen to death, but near the capital, it has been sunny, and the official road is not as muddy as in previous winters. Seeing that it was the carriage and horse of Huifeng Tower, the personnel of the Five Cities Terracotta Division on duty were naturally happily released.

My mother-in-law still works in the 'little profit', or she has eaten cheap food there, and the guy who has a little profit is the family of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and it is just a symbolic charge of a few pennies. Besides, whether it is Zhang Liang or the Ma brothers, who go over with a cart, the money is indispensable.

And he said politely with a smile:

"The brethren took it and drank tea."

If the other brocade guards walked by here, they would have been whipped when they dodged late.

Jiang Feng sat on the horse despite the cold wind, and followed Zhang Liang on the side and said:

"Although we don't have to please these people, there will be many benefits to maintaining them well, and it is always good to go more smoothly."

Zhang Liang agreed there, followed by seven carts, the carts are full of all kinds of materials, food and equipment, it is estimated that it will be until next year, the grain of the fifth floor village may be able to force itself, now after all, more than 100 people are eating there, it is very inconvenient.

In the carriage specially for the distinguished guests, there are also bows and arrows specially sent to more than a dozen hunters in the fifth floor village, these are all standard weapons, Jiang Feng thought in his heart clearly, now more than a dozen families have children studying at the bottom of the mountain, then they have to give themselves a hard time, more than 100 Xinding and these Orions contain each other, since it is a weapon in the hands of the Xinding, then it is also a lot of preparation for more than a dozen families.

The two gangs of people contain each other, and they are naturally unable to manage themselves in Beijing all the year round, so they can only be relieved like this.

Although it is not out of the first month, the weather is still cold, but the sky is red and the sun is still quite warm, and the official road is also full of people, after all, everyone has a life to be busy, in addition to walking in the capital for half a day, both sides of the road can see the mansions, and the manors of the noble and high-ranking officials are all in this vicinity.

Jiang Feng looked left and right on the horse, he still had more time in Beijing, and when he came out once in a while, he naturally felt very comfortable.

The records of the conversations of the guests collected every day are all punctually placed on the case of the wine shop, maybe it was blown away by the wind or what, which page turned has such a record:

"Second sister-in-law Zhang, don't go out of the city recently."

"I still have to go to his brother's house for those things, what?"

"I heard my man say that yesterday a caravan was robbed by bandits on the official road, and more than a dozen people were beheaded."
