Chapter 1449: Iron Bull
Zhao Tieniu is in a good mood these days, but he is also a little melancholy.
It turned out that he was just a pranky leader in Kaifeng Mansion, and it was impossible to be rich and rich, but it was enough to eat and drink. But the ghost lost his mind, accepted Chen Youwen's money, and went to collude with the Liangshan thieves, but he messed up, so he had to go to Liangshan to be a thief and become the last seat of the 36 heroes in Liangshan.
A hero or something, just talking, in fact, he is a bandit! The big bowl of wine and the big piece of meat looked good, but it wasn't the life he wanted.
And when I wanted to wash my hands, I found that I had no way out! Because of Wu Haogu, who he offended back then, he didn't know what shit luck he had, and he rose step by step, growing to the point where he couldn't even think about it.
So Zhao Tieniu could only follow the heroes of Liangshan to fight hard, until the outbreak of the "Central Plains War", Du Chong dug the Yellow River dam, and flooded Yunzhou, he finally made up his mind that he would never follow the chaos anymore, and he couldn't mix it anymore.
Because Liangshan has become the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Kingdom, with the hatred between him and Wu Haogu, if it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be Ling Chi's execution!
So Zhao Tieniu took advantage of the flood in Liangshanbo to wash his hands, took the savings of his family and many years of being a thief, left Yunzhou, went down to the south of the Yangtze River, bought a house in the Shanghai business market, and lived a stable life.
It didn't take long to settle down, and I listened to the Jianghu characters from the south of Jingdong Road talk about the news that Liangshan was breached...... It's so hanging! If he had stayed in Liangshan, he would have been shattered by this time.
The thought of escaping death makes him feel quite good. But when I think about it again, I'm scared again!
It turns out that Liang Shanbo pays attention to being a bandit once and being a bandit for life! Wash your hands or something, you can never wash them clean!
So Zhao Tieniu's whereabouts, the big leaders of Liangshan have always been in control - Zhao Tieniu has Liangshan's eyeliner by his side! If he wants to get out of the eyeliner action completely, hehe...... Either go to the official and find a backstage that Liang Shan can't afford to provoke like Fan Zhijin, or wait to be stabbed.
And Zhao Tieniu had no way to join the official, and he couldn't find any backstage, so he had to live honestly under Liangshan's monitoring and be ready to serve Liangshan at any time.
It's not that he's worried about Liang Shan asking him to do something deadly, and Liang Shan's heroes are not so unkind. He was worried that he would be arrested, and the heroes would confess his whereabouts to Wu Haogu.
Although Shanghai is not in Wu Haogu's sphere of influence, the Eastern Song Dynasty is talking about Wu Haogu's daughter, the queen's mother Wu Meiniang.
The most poisonous woman's heart!
He Zhao Tieniu fell into the hands of Wu Haogu, the big deal is that the head falls to the ground, but it will fall into the hands of Wu Meiniang...... I can't imagine it!
So Zhao Tieniu gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and the thirty-six plans were the best. Move your family to the New Henan Mansion in the New World and buy a large piece of land, buy some cattle, sheep and horses, and become a rancher.
Now the Eastern Song Dynasty also encouraged citizens to move to New Henan Province, and there were many preferential policies. If you move with your family and a certain amount of property, you can not only get tax exemption and preferential treatment, the chartered merchant ships, but also participate in the escort group organized by the Eastern Song Dynasty Navy for free.
Zhao Tieniu is a bit wealthy, and he also has two sons (he has 4 sons and 3 daughters, two of whom stayed in Shanghai, and the 3 daughters have long been married), two daughters-in-law, three grandsons and granddaughters, and two concubines, ten indentured slaves, and a big family.
About half of the family property was taken away, and it was not gold, silver, and copper coins, but silk, porcelain, wrought iron, and other trade goods that were very easy to get rid ofβthese things could be transferred to Xingzhou with their eyes closed.
After making a move, you will be able to buy land vouchers at the government office in Xingzhou in Xinhenan Prefecture.
The land voucher is a bill issued by the new Henan government that can be directly exchanged for land, and can also be used as paper money. You can get a certain discount when you buy in Seongju, because the new Henan province needs cash to buy various daily necessities and production tools from Seongju.
At the same time as obtaining the land vouchers, Zhao Tieniu's family also had to purchase a batch of iron farm tools, ploughing horses, cattle and sheep, and grow grain in Xingzhou, and transport them to Shuangyajiang City, New Henan Prefecture.
Now the preparations for immigrating to the New World have been made, all the goods have been loaded onto the cargo ship chartered by Zhao Tieniu, and the family has also prepared their luggage, just waiting for the wind to be right, and they can leave this old continent that has made him struggle all his life and worry for half his life.
When he was about to leave, Zhao Tieniu suddenly became worried, mainly because his homeland was difficult to leave, although he had already left Kaifeng Mansion, but after all, he was still in the land of the Great Song Dynasty......
Zhao Tieniu, who is a little melancholy, often walks on the Wusongjiang Wharf in Shanghai these days to see the "Shen boat" that is about to carry him on a long voyage.
"Iron Bull! But Brother Zhao Tieniu? β
On this day, Zhao Tieniu suddenly heard someone calling his name in Kaifeng, and he was immediately startled.
He doesn't have any acquaintances in Shanghai! And I don't want to meet any acquaintances.
Thinking of this, he lowered his head and was about to leave, but he almost ran into a black, dry white-bearded old man.
Fortunately, I didn't really bump into it, or let the old man have a good time, and Zhao Tieniu wouldn't go to Xinhenan...... But the old man grabbed Zhao Tieniu's wrist.
"Old man, what are you doing? I didn't bump into you! β
The old man smiled and said, "Tie Niu, your eyes are also bad, right?" Why can't you even recognize an old friend? The old man is Chen Youwen! β
"Chen, Chen Youwen? Chen waits for Zhao? Zhao Tieniu couldn't believe his eyes, staring at the dark and thin clothes in front of him, wearing a cotton Confucian robe, at least an old man in his 70s looked at it again and again.
It's kind of like that!
"Chen Beizhao, it's really you......" Zhao Tieniu looked around, and the vicinity of the dock was lively. There are many people, but don't meet people who shouldn't be met.
"This is not the place to talk, come with me." Zhao Tieniu hurriedly pulled Chen Youwen into a nearby restaurant that looked a little classy, went directly to the second floor into the elegant seat, ordered a few drinks and dishes, and waited until they were all ready, and then chatted with Chen Youwen while eating.
It turned out that Chen Youwen took refuge in the Xiang family when Wu Haogu was gradually rising, ran a singing and selling house for the Empress Dowager Xiang and her family, and later made the real estate of Kaifeng Mansion.
He did well at the beginning, and made a lot of money for the Daimyo family. But then the Xiang family gradually lost power. And Chen Youwen didn't know how to restrain himself, not to mention that the business was getting bigger and bigger, and he also ignored the "revolutionary trend" in Kaifeng Mansion...... It wasn't until recently that he returned to Shanghai and opened a painting shop, selling worthless calligraphy and paintings, chatting to make ends meet, and taking out to support his two grandchildren.
Oh, by the way, his two sons contracted malaria while they were distributing to Nanyang and died of illness one after another!
It's really a white-haired person sending a black-haired person......
Listening to Chen Youwen talk about his tragic experience, Zhao Tieniu also had a feeling of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
"What? Tie Niu, you want to move your family to New Henan Mansion? Chen Youwen was also taken aback when he heard Zhao Tieniu mention the immigration plan.
"But it's because of the samurai?"
Zhao Tieniu nodded silently.
Chen Youwen sighed, "The old man is not afraid, if you want to kill, kill it...... By the way, the old man has an acquaintance in Nanyang, who may be able to help you. He touched his white beard, "That person's name is Fan Jin, a native of the Daimyo Mansion, who was originally a real estate merchant in Kaifeng Mansion, a huge official, and was exiled as a profiteer after the fourth day of the fifth month of the fifth month. However, his luck was better than that of the old man, and he became a big official of the Zhou State in Nanyang Province, and now he is a huge rich man in Nanyang. The old man writes you a letter, you go to him, as long as he can help you, it will be easy for you to go to Xinhenan Mansion. β
Fan Jin is that Fan Zhijin, who became a wealthy man in Kaifeng from the big bank and Pang Kuan, and later because of Pang Kuan's death and a bus book during the Zhenghe period, he became the culprit of high housing prices and was exiled to Nanyang. But in Nanyang, he befriended Fan Zhiwen, the governor of Nanyang Province of Zhou (that was his brother), and turned over again in Nanyang. When Chen Youwen was down, it was thanks to his help that he had a chance to survive China......
Zhao Tieniu sighed: "Thank you so much...... If this goes, Tie Niu should have no chance of surviving China, and I am afraid that it will be indefinite in the future. β
Chen Youwen smiled bitterly: "There are many people who don't come back, and there are many people who return to their hometowns in fine clothes, but the old man is unlucky...... Iron Bull, be careful when you reach the miasma to the south, and don't leave the populated town. It's going to die! β
β¦β¦
"Iron Bull, do you really want to go?"
"Brother Gongming, I still have the strength to move around, so I want to go out and break through, what if I have a chance? If you can earn some gold and silver, go back to Liangshan Town and retire with your brothers. β
Yinzhou, Liangshan Town. Another iron bull, Li Kui and Li Tieniu, was saying goodbye to Song Jiang and Song Gongming on the dock.
He was ready to board the Enterprise once again, not as a criminal, but as the leader of the expedition.
In the two years he lived in Liangshan Town, Li Kui became a very good hunter, killing more than a dozen bears, and selling bear skins alone was enough for his family to eat and drink.
Oh, by the way, he now has a wife from Japan, he has no surname, he has a nickname "Kongkong", she looks petite and cute, and he gave birth to a son for Li Kui.
Li Kui, who has a son, now wants to take advantage of the movement to break through and save some belongings. So I signed up for Enterprise's expedition to the Americas.
Because he is the captain, he also has a high income, and he has 12 silver coins a month! If you find a place to settle down, you'll get an additional 100 credits.
In addition, any hunting, robbery or other income made during the expedition shall be owned by private individuals.
With such favorable conditions, of course, Li Kui was not the only one who was attracted, but Hua Rong, another of Song Gongming's close friends, also signed up, but he was arranged to come up to "discover" and set off three days ago.
And what is going to go today is Wu Tiexin's flagship "Enterprising" Explorer.
