Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Merchant
Wang Gang was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground all of a sudden, and his excrement and urine wet his pants at once. He would never dare to admit the charge of colluding with Jiannu, and if this charge was known to the imperial court, it would be the fate of the nine clans.
But if you don't admit it, you will definitely die today. And he also became the first ghost under the knife, he was unwilling! He Wang Gang has worked hard at sea for more than ten years before he has his current family wealth.
Before he had time to enjoy how to be willing to die like this, watching the bright sword light getting closer and closer to him, he turned his heart sideways.
Die and die! Why do you work hard to earn money, let the waste at home enjoy yourself, and everyone will die together. Thinking of this, he yelled: "The villain is willing to move!" The villain admitted it, and asked the general to spare the life of a small dog! ”
The others kneeling behind shook their heads when they heard Wang Gang admit to colluding with Jiannu, and some of them whispered.
"The Wang family is all done this time, let's divide their family's industry when we go back, and save others cheap!"
"That's right! Wang Gang has not been easy all these years! has been alive and dead several times, how can you be so confused this time, this is to drag down the entire Wang family! ”
……
Ignoring the discussions of the people behind him, Wang Gang signed the confession with trembling hands.
After signing, Wang Gang's face was like ashes, and he sat in place in a daze, thinking about his bumpy voice.
At this time, Zhang Dou's words pulled him back to reality, "Your name is Wang Gang, right?" ”
"Back to the general's words, the villain is Wang Gang." Wang Gang replied respectfully.
Zhang Dou smiled and said, "Wang Gang, you are good! You've got this sign! As he spoke, he threw something over.
Wang Gang hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it and take a closer look, it was just an ordinary wooden card. The workmanship is very rough, and it looks like something that has just been made.
There are only three words on the front of the island, and the word zero and one are engraved on the back. He didn't understand what a brand was for, and he exchanged his life for a rough wooden sign?
He was puzzled when Zhang Dou spoke. "With this sign! In the future, whatever goods you need on Changsheng Island will be purchased from you first, and the output of Changsheng Island in the future will also be sold by you first, understand? ”
Wang Gang immediately understood that he would be the royal merchant of General Zhang Dou of Changsheng Island in the future. Judging from the combat power of Changsheng Island today, he will definitely not stay on the small Changsheng Island in the future.
In the future, if this General Zhang's territory gets bigger and bigger, his business will get bigger and bigger. At that time, he will be one person under ten thousand people, and it seems that this confession is not only not a bad thing, but a great thing.
As for the confession, it was his petition, how could people believe themselves without this thing.
Thinking of this, Wang Gang bowed to the ground again, kowtowed, and said, "The villain Wang has just seen the lord!" ”
This is a good shout! In the future, if he encounters trouble with his own unevenness, Zhang Dou will definitely stand up for him. I have a strong backer, and I will see who would dare to bully myself in the future in Suzhou. Wang Gang, who was getting happier and happier as he grew older, couldn't help but smile, and the others also realized the benefits of confessing, but they were still a little jealous of the charge of colluding with Jiannu.
Other businessmen are also tempted, and they are weighing the pros and cons. At this time, Zhang Dou was impatient and said: "Give you a quarter of an hour, and if you don't make a decision, the official will help you do it." There are only 10 brands here, so you have to think about it! ”
As soon as his words fell, a fat man walked out to sign and draw a sign to receive the sign, and then knelt in front of Zhang Dou and stood behind Zhang Dou after saying that he was the lord.
Someone took the lead, and the rest of the signs were quickly taken away. The rest of the merchants all knelt on their knees and pretended to be deaf and dumb, they did not want to become any merchants of Immortal Island, nor did they want to cooperate with Immortal Island. I only hope that Zhang Dou can end all this as soon as possible and let them go, even if it is ruined, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the smuggling profit is huge, and it only takes two times to get back today's losses.
But they were wrong, and after the wooden cards were distributed, Zhang Dou said to the kneeling merchants: "You colluded with Jiannu and smuggled goods from Jiannu to death!" After speaking, he waved his hand to Changxingjun.
The Changxing army around them surrounded them at once, and only then did the kneeling merchants know that they were afraid. This is going to be killed! There are hundreds of them here along with sailors and siblings, does this martial artist really dare to do it?
One of the guards looked at the soldiers who were surrounding him, and could no longer bear the pressure, he stood up and ran outside, shouting: "Murder! Run! ”
The sound of fire suddenly rang out, and the shouting came to an abrupt end. The guard fell heavily on the dirt, and a blood hole behind him was bubbling out, and the scene was filled with a smell of blood.
The group of merchants were all frightened by this sudden killing, and they realized that the general in front of them was different from the generals who opened the door with the eyes of the Ming Dynasty. This lord really dared to fight hard with Jiannu, how could he care about the lives of a few merchants. The law that he and others think is not to blame the public is not worth mentioning in the eyes of others.
Now these people regret it, and one by one they kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. There are also many people calling out to the merchants who are receiving wooden signs, "Brother Wang! Last time, you wanted to buy my 500 acres of mulberry fields at a high price, and my brother gave it to you for nothing, for the sake of my fellow villagers, please ask my brother for mercy! ”
"Brother Li! The iron mine you want to invest in, this time the little brother will give you a 6% bonus, hurry up and say good things to the little brother! ”
"Brother Liu! You have liked my purple butterfly for a long time, and my husband has long wanted to recruit you as a son-in-law. Hurry up and rescue your father-in-law, and now the old man will accept your marriage letter! ”
......
The 10 businessmen standing behind Zhang Dou listened to the words of the merchants, and they all showed surprise on their faces. But when they thought of the horror of the general in front of them, they were a little afraid that it would affect them.
Seeing that Changxingjun was getting closer and closer to those merchants, Wang Gang gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Zhang Dou and said, "Lord! As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs, and I can't do without the help of my peers when I serve my lord in the future, isn't it ......?"
Zhang Dou looked at Wang Gang playfully, and just when the spear was about to stab at the merchants, he raised his hand to let Changxingjun stand aside first. All the merchants who had escaped death breathed a sigh of relief, just now when the cold light of the spear was about to stab them. Everyone realizes that no amount of money earned is as important as life.
"Will you vouch for them?" Zhang Dou asked.
Wang Gang gritted his teeth and replied, "Lord! There are 3 people here who are fellow villagers of the villain, and the villain is willing to vouch for them! ”
"That's good! As long as you're willing to vouch for them, they're your subordinate dealers. It doesn't matter what kind of contract you sign with them, but you have to be responsible for what goes wrong with them, understand? Zhang Dou said.
Wang Gang is a veteran of business for many years, and he understands the meaning of subordinate dealers after a little thought. This is Zhang Dou giving them benefits, not to mention signing a contract, even if he wants the wives and daughters of these businessmen now, they will also send them obediently. I made the right choice this time, and it is really inevitable that I will soar in the future with such a master!
When the other merchants saw that Wang Gang had benefited, they also knelt down and pleaded with those merchants. They are not kneeling Zhang Dou, but kneeling with white flowers. Zhang Dou agreed to all the demands of these merchants who had taken refuge in him, and let them choose their own credible people to take them in.
After dealing with these merchants, Zhang Dou ordered someone to bring that Hu Ye up. Zhang Dou knew how great his strength was, it was simply the power of the human limit. And this Hu Ye is the real innate divine power, in the era of cold weapons, every such person is a sharp weapon to break the enemy.
Hu Ye was brought to Zhang Dou without Chang Xingjun speaking, he "poof!" He knelt down in front of Zhang Dou. Kowtowed three times in a row and said, "Wu Tieniu has seen the big brother of the helm handle!" ”
The helm handle almost heard Zhang Dou slip out of the chair to the ground, where is this? When did you become a pirate leader? Zhang Dou asked strangely: "Why do you call me a helmsman?" ”
"The shopkeeper told Tie Niu that as long as he saw the head of many people, he would call the helm handle!" Wu Tieniu said confidently.
"Where's the king?" Zhang Dou asked again.
"I was killed by you in the battle just now!" Ma Bao reminded in a whisper behind him.
"Huh!" Zhang Dou was speechless for a while, and he could see it. Heaven is fair, it gave Wu Tieniu innate divine power, but took away his IQ. After some careful inquiry, I learned that Wu Tieniu was born with divine power since he was a child, and often cried the neighbor's children.
Later, other children did not play with him, resulting in his more withdrawn personality since he was a child. When he grew up, his family was in a bad situation, and he couldn't survive, so he fled to Denglai, Shandong, where he was taken in by the king and became a thug.
This was the first time he went to sea with the shopkeeper Wang, and he met Zhang Dou. After being defeated by Zhang Dou, he was convinced by Zhang Dou and followed Zhang Dou with all his heart to protect Zhang Dou's safety.
Since then, Ma Bao has had a second little brother, but this little brother's meal is relatively large, and every time he sees Wu Tieniu eating, he is speechless for a while. The little brother that people accept looks very normal, how is it like his little brother, a chatter and a rice bucket......
On the sea, a fleet of dozens of ships was heading towards Changsheng Island, and the people on it were talking and laughing about how bravely they fought and how many Jiannu they had killed.
Only Zhang Dou knew that he had killed and injured 700 Jiannu, but he had paid the price of nearly 200 Changxing troops. If it weren't for the fact that he had tortured and killed the Jurchen Jialazhangjing, it was very likely that they would have been eliminated.
When he was thinking about how to improve the survivability of the Changxing Army, someone suddenly came to report. There are more than ten sea ships besieging an official ship ahead!
