After hearing about what these Qing soldiers had committed, he cut off the ear of Miao Zi, the prefect of Shaoxing, and then escorted him to the sacked market town with other Qing soldiers for a public trial. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He Wenqing led the group to watch, and some brave men from Bao Village. Before they could be properly tried, Miao Zi, the prefect of Shaoxing, and the Qing army guerrilla were swarmed by the families of the victims who were so angry that they lost their minds and beat them to death.

The rest of the Qing army, after repeated requests from the angry people, beheaded all the first evils among them, and the rest of the Qing army turned pale with fright, and repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Seeing that these Qing troops were also quite pitiful, and this anger had subsided, they could not bear to kill more, and the captive army obeyed the wishes of the people, but took these Qing army prisoners, connected with the Qing troops captured in Taizhou, Ningbo and other places, and prepared to send people to Dexing, Xixi to dig copper mines.

He Wenqing simply led 3,000 regiments to join the captive army, and was appointed by Tan Shaoguang as the Shaoxing Brigade to temporarily guard the place.

After occupying Shaoxing City, the 9th and 4th Divisions rested outside Shaoxing for two days, and Tan Shaoguang received a letter from Lin Qirong, the commander of the 3rd Division, saying that their 3rd Division had occupied Zhuji, and captured Tonglu, Xincheng, and Fuyang all the way, and invited the 9th Division to besiege Hangzhou City.

At this time, in the north, Shi Dakai led 10,000 Taiping soldiers who had been renamed the Yiyi Division, and Chen Tianshi led more than 8,000 Jiaba Divisions, the two divisions were connected together one after the other, and after occupying Deqing, they directly crossed the border of Yuhang County, as if entering the realm of no one, and came directly to the northwest of Hangzhou.

Since then, the entire city of Hangzhou, northwest and south, has been surrounded by more than 40,000 captive regiments, and the fall of Hangzhou is only a matter of events.

……

Wulin Gate in Hangzhou City, Rende Qianzhuang.

Hu Guangyong glanced at Liu Chengxiang, a bored guy beside him, and said, "Xiangzi, it's time to work." After saying that, he was ready to go out to the street to bring in some business for the bank.

Liu Chengxiang smiled bitterly and said: "Xueyan, I heard that the long hair in the south is about to hit Hangzhou City, everyone wants to flee for their lives, people are panicking, who else wants to save money and borrow money?" I see, you don't have to go, and it's in vain to go there. ”

Hu Guangyong said: "Then you can't sit in the shop and wait." What's more, the long-haired thieves in the south are different from the long-haired thieves in Jiangning, and I heard that the military discipline is strict. ”

After speaking, he stubbornly pulled Liu Chengxiang out of the door.

When I came to the street, there were many fewer people on the street, and even many of the bustling shops in the past were closed, and there were notices posted on the doors. Hu Guangyong stepped forward to take a look, only to find that it turned out to be information about the resale of the store.

Hu Guangyong and Liu Chengxiang walked further and found that many shops at the corner of the street, which were originally thriving, had closed their doors and posted words changing hands.

Hu Guangyong happened to see one of the well-stalled pharmacies, a shopkeeper and a guy were about to post a notice, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Shopkeeper, you also want to sell out of this pharmacy?" ”

"yes. Now the world is too chaotic to do business. The long-haired thieves are about to fight in the city of Hangzhou, and our host is going to take refuge in the countryside of Lin'an, so we are in a hurry to go out of Jiangpu. Ay! The shopkeeper sighed.

When Hu Guangyong heard this, he asked anxiously: "Oh, it's okay to go out, but since the long-haired thief soldiers are going to fight, I'm afraid no one is willing to take over, right?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" The shopkeeper made a bitter face and said, "Our pharmacy is a century-old brand, and it has always had a good business. Now that the shop is closed, my life with my buddy is gone. ”

Hu Guangyong's heart moved, and he asked, "Shopkeeper, how many taels of silver do you want for this pharmacy of your owner?" Maybe, I can help you get it down. ”

"You? Can you really take it down? The shopkeeper was a little unconvinced, seeing Hu Guangyong dressed as a small guy, he knew that he was also a guy at a glance, but he still replied: "The price of the owner is very low, five hundred taels of silver." ”

Five hundred taels? Hu Guangyong secretly calculated in his heart: It is indeed not high. If it was in previous years, this kind of stall shop was a century-old pharmacy, at least nearly a thousand taels, and it seemed that the owner of this pharmacy was really anxious to get rid of it. However, I want to take it down, where does the money come from, although I have saved a lot of money over the years, but it is not a lot, but this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but I have to seize it and have more good shops.

Hu Guangyong groaned, and whispered to Liu Chengxiang beside him: "Xiangzi, how about we take down this shop together?" ”

Liu Chengxiang shook his head: "Xueyan, you're crazy." People are in a hurry to sell out, and they would rather get rid of it at a low price, and you still have to bump into it to buy a store? When the long-haired thieves come over, all of them are gone, who are you looking for to cry? ”

Hu Guangyong said: "But the thieves in the south are not long-haired thieves, they are Cantonese soldiers, and they won't mess around." Last month, I went to Shanghi in Songjiang Province, which has been captured by long-haired thieves, but the shops there are still doing business without the slightest impact, and even the business is much better. ”

Liu Chengxiang still shook his head vigorously: "I don't do it." After saving more than 200 taels of silver over the years, I plan to go back to the countryside to buy a few acres of paddy fields and buy a family business. I can't go crazy with you and smash the silver into the water. ”

Hu Guangyong was helpless, his eyes rolled, and he started the idea of the shopkeeper again: "The shopkeeper, and this brother, the younger brother will discuss something with you." The younger brother wants to transfer your pharmacy down, but the younger brother is not enough silver. If so, how about our partnership? The younger brother will pay 60% or 70%, and you and this brother will pay 40% or 30%, and you will take this shop down together, so that you will become the boss yourself, and you can continue to work here, so that you will not lose your livelihood. ”

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good way, but it depends on how much silver it will cost to make the capital.

I saw Hu Guangyong look at the shopkeeper's face, and continued: "If the shopkeeper doesn't have much cash in his hand, he can also think of a way, such as borrowing money from the bank?" I happen to know the owner of a money bank, the interest rate is not high, and I can give the shopkeeper a few points of discount. If you count the shopkeeper as having 20 percent of the silver, the brother you will pay 10 percent of the silver, and the younger brother will pay 70 percent, so that if the shopkeeper has 50 taels of silver in his hand, it will be enough to borrow another 50 taels. ”

The shopkeeper was moved by Hu Guangyong's words, but he was a little uneasy, and asked: "This boss, you said that you can really do business with this shop, and the thieves won't close the shop?" ”

"Of course not. There are some things that are inconvenient to say, little brother, well, the thieves, uh-huh, the shopkeeper can understand the meaning of the little brother. Hu Guangyong said mysteriously.

His words were hidden, but the shopkeeper became more and more convinced that he could talk to the thieves, and his heart became firm: "In this case, Qing Mou cooperated with the boss to take down this shop together." Qing is one hundred and sixty taels, accounting for forty percent, and the boss you are two hundred and forty taels, accounting for sixty percent! Well, I haven't asked for advice yet, boss, what's your surname? ”

"Little brother is exempt from your surname Hu! The shopkeeper's surname is Qing, but it is rare, he must be the noble man of the younger brother! Hu Guangyong smiled, and then asked strangely: "No, Boss Qing, one hundred and sixty taels plus two hundred and forty taels, it's only four hundred taels, what does Boss Qing mean that this pharmacy is only four hundred taels?" And what about this fellow brother? ”

Shopkeeper Qing nodded, a little proud: "That's it!" Qing has known the shopkeeper for many years, and he is confident that he can talk about this discount. As for this," Shopkeeper Qing pointed to the man, "but it's my son!" ”

Hu Guangyong was overjoyed and arched his hand: "That is the case, it is so decided." I will raise silver taels at noon tomorrow, and I will also ask Boss Qing to ask your owner to discuss the transfer of shops here. At that time, our Huqing family will open a pharmacy together, and I think it can be named Huqing Yutang. ”

When the shopkeeper Qing heard it, "Hu Qingyutang, good name!" Okay, Boss Hu, don't worry, Qing will go to the owner! "I agreed.

After Hu Guangyong finished speaking, he left with Liu Chengxiang.

On the way, Liu Chengxiang asked, "Xueyan, do you really want to take down this pharmacy?" Not afraid of dying? ”

Hu Guangyong looked happy and said loudly: "Xiangzi, if you don't do it with me now, I'm afraid that I will regret it for the rest of my life in the future!" I'm Hu Guangyong, no, I'll do business by myself in the future, the name Guang Yong is not auspicious enough, it's still Xueyan is good, make snowflake silver, business will never fall down like a rock, well, I will only call Hu Xueyan in the future! ”

"I, Hu Xueyan, not only want to buy this pharmacy, but also want to buy more shops! This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is the beginning of my fortune! ”
