Chapter 56: Encounter with a Robber
(Yesterday, when I checked the information, I accidentally found that the fourth prince Li Tai was named the king of Wei in the tenth year of Zhenguan, and before that, it was the king of Yue, and the book has been corrected.) Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info)
Harvesting wheat is like fighting fires, but the people can be much more leisurely this year, although they can't afford to buy a harvester, but they can share a house with several families, and they can also pay an IOU first, and then slowly pay off the rent. The money of these ordinary people is a small amount of money, and the main customers are still those landlords, some of whom bought more than a dozen harvesters at once, and even some well-informed large landowners outside Puzhou have come to order. Although Wang Haoran used to let the wood products store keep making inventory, but now it is still not enough to sell, and what he wants can only be booked, and in a short period of time, Wang Haoran can be said to have made a lot of money.
After the wheat harvest is over, it is time to start planting rice again, Wang Haoran has already asked his father to send nine rice seeds, this time he will not get ten acres of land to do research at once. Before, he always thought that he only planted one crop of rice a year, and if he mixed more rice, once he succeeded, the rice seeds obtained could be sown on a large scale. Now, he just asked Xie Changfu to help buy a small piece of remote land for research, and if he researches good rice seeds, he can only spend more time planting more rice seeds. But fortunately, he did it, which allowed him to avoid a major omission in the future.
He was worried about asking someone to take care of the fields, anyway, the fields used now were not big, so Wang Haoran simply asked Chen Jun to do it himself.
Wang Haoran's joint venture garment factory only officially started construction at the end of last year, and the reason why it is so slow is because it takes a lot of time to train workers. In the joint venture project, there was no finished clothing store in Puzhou County, so Wang Haoran opened a finished clothing store in Puzhou. In addition, he also entrusted Changfu to buy dozens of suckling pigs and do a pig business.
There is nothing interesting in the countryside, Xie Changfu invited people to caster pigs, and Wang Haoran and they all came over with great interest to watch the excitement.
"What's so nice about that? It's cruel! Zhao Wenshan looked at the gelding master after castrating a suckling pig, shook his head and left.
Wang Haoran and the others didn't pay attention to Zhao Wenshan.
"Master, by the way, cut off the pig's tail."
Wang Haoran's words were shocking, which startled Zhao Wenshan: "Break people's ...... The offspring of the broken pig family are lacking in virtue enough, why do you still torture the pig family? Did the pig wag his tail and provoke you? ”
"That's right, wagging your tail really annoyed me." Wang Haoran said with a smile.
"Why is that?" Chen Jie knew that Wang Haoran must have a deep meaning in doing this, so he humbly asked for advice.
"The tail wagging basically never stops, and the energy consumed is also considerable, so it is better to use this energy for growing meat."
"That pig also consumes energy when he walks around! Why don't you tie up the pig's feet and keep them from moving? Zhao Wenshan said disdainfully.
"Hehe, I really have this plan! But if you tie your feet, the pig won't be able to eat. You haven't seen my pig house, have you? It's all one grid at a time, and when you drive the pigs in, the pigs either lie down or stand still, and they can't move from side to side. ”
"You're so cruel!"
Chen Jun and the others stared at Wang Haoran with disdain, expressing their agreement with Zhao Wenshan's statement.
Wang Haoran's department store also opened soon, but there are only more than 40 kinds of goods, all of which are new things, in addition to opening this store in Puzhou County, he also let his fourth grandfather Liu Wangjiang also open one in the capital. Luozhou is not too far from Puzhou, and it takes two days to get there by car, but you can also take a boat, and you can get there in a little more than a day. Wang Haoran decided to go to Luozhou in person, and also opened a department store in Luozhou, selling cement, glass products, etc. by the way. Han Lei was originally the shopkeeper of the weaving mill, and later Wang Haoran transferred the weaving mill to the joint venture group of the textile tycoon, and the joint venture group parachuted a shopkeeper to the weaving mill, and Han Lei was demoted to a deputy. After Han Lei received the letter, he immediately replied that he was willing, anyway, his family is only three people, and there is nothing to worry about where to settle down, the most important thing is to be able to help Engong.
By the time Han Lei's family came to Puzhou, Wang Haoran and his family had already moved into a new building, Wang's House. Let Han Lei's family rest in Puzhou for a few days, Wang Haoran took advantage of this effort to introduce the goods of the department store to Han Lei one by one, and attached text and drawings to explain. Han Lei can now understand most of the words, these department stores are very simple things, basically Wang Haoran said it once, Han Lei can remember, plus the drawings are explained, it is not a problem to remember these things. A few days later, Wang Haoran went to Luozhou with Zeng Chengyong and Han Lei's family, and the matter of Puzhou was temporarily handed over to Chen Jun.
Not long after arriving in Luozhou, Wang Haoran found and bought a shop, and after the department store opened, Wang Haoran and Zeng Chengyong returned to Puzhou.
Returning to Puzhou is to take the dry road back, taking the waterway is to sail against the current, relying on the slender household (that is, the slender man) to pull the boat, not only very slow, but also expensive, it is better to buy a donkey cart to take the donkey cart back.
When they drove the donkey cart to Puzhou, it was getting late, and they were ready to speed up to the village in front of them to rest for the night before hurrying. Unexpectedly, four or five big men appeared in front of them, holding big knives or wooden sticks, Zeng Chengyong and Wang Haoran were shocked, presumably they had encountered robbers!
But at this time, it was too late to escape, Zeng Chengyong was bold, and felt that it was possible to fight one enemy and five enemies, so he asked Wang Haoran to stay in the donkey cart, and jumped off the donkey cart and shouted to the passers: "Everyone block the way, I don't know what's going on?" ”
"Of course it's a robbery! Acquaintances quickly leave all the valuable things and leave! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude. The bearded man at the head slapped the big knife in his hand and shouted.
"Just a few of you, let's see if you have the ability!" Zeng Chengyong calmly pulled out a spear from the donkey cart and replied.
The man with Luo Cheek sneered, and no longer talked nonsense with Zeng Chengyong, so he rushed towards Zeng Chengyong with a knife. He is in the business of robbery, not business, so how can he negotiate terms with the person who was robbed? Since you can't talk about it once, then you will see the real chapter.
"Bell ......" sparks erupted from the collision of knives and guns, Zeng Chengyong's spear was still buzzing, he was secretly surprised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this man with such a big cheek was so strong that it made his hands a little numb with the spear.
"Huh? Nice boy! You can even hold a spear! The man with Luo Cheek praised, and as soon as his words fell, he attacked Zeng Chengyong again.
Zeng Chengyong didn't dare to underestimate this person anymore, and he also raised his gun to meet him again, and after a few rounds, the man with Luo Cheek couldn't resist Zeng Chengyong's onslaught. The man with a good cheek knew that he had encountered a hard stubble, so he called the brothers behind him to go up together, and glanced at a robber, signaling him to arrest Wang Haoran.
Zeng Chengyong also saw the plot of the Luoji man, and was about to rush back to Wang Haoran's side, but was stopped by the Luozhi man. Fortunately, among these people, there are some Luo cheek men who can fight, and Zeng Chengyong will not fall behind with one against four, but he is also entangled and unable to reinforce Wang Haoran.
"Ahh A miserable scream came from the donkey cart, Zeng Chengyong swept through the thousands of troops and forced the robbers to retreat with one move, and wanted to rush to Wang Haoran's side during this gap, but saw that on the side of the donkey cart, Wang Haoran was holding a wooden stick, and the robber fled to the side with his head in his hands, blood flowing.
The Luozi man, who thought that his brother had succeeded, did not entangle Zeng Chengyong after they were forced to retreat, and turned his head to look, but was surprised to find that it was his brother who was beaten to the point of bleeding!
"Rubbish! You can't even catch a little kid! The man scolded angrily.
"Boss, I'm being yin by that kid!" The thin bandit who was beaten by Wang Haoran and his head was bleeding said aggrievedly.
"Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and call someone! If we can't even make this order, what face will we have in the future? ”
"I'll call someone now." When the thin robber finished speaking, he covered his head and left.
"Little master, you drive the donkey cart first, and I will catch up with it later." Zeng Chengyong came to Wang Haoran and said.
"Okay, be careful." Wang Haoran is not grinding, although he knows some karate kung fu, but now he is only a twelve-year-old child's body, and he is afraid that it is enough to deal with one or two big men. Anyway, now the four robbers can't help Zeng Chengyong, and if they leave first, they won't drag him down, if they wait for the robbers' support to come, then there is really no way to escape.
