Chapter Thirty-Six: Where the Soldiers Lead

Li Lanzhi is Li Zicheng's daughter, of course Wu Yi knows that she was chosen as the commander of the reform battalion, it is because she has prestige, and she has always performed well, I don't want Li Lanzhi to run away at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, Wuyi was going to attack here, but this time happened to be a good opportunity, and then this incident, he could kill multiple birds with one stone, not only weakening the government, but also establishing authority, and more of a war against the bandits.

It should have been brewed, but this Li Lanzhi broke the situation, Li Lanzhi also knew a lot about the grassland, in case she told Li Zicheng, her bluff plan would be in vain.

It is not easy to arrest people, so Wu Yi acted in advance, and without waiting for brewing, he directly started a war against Li Zicheng and other bandits.

This time, all the merchants of Ningwu Mansion were dispatched again, and the slave hunting team was pulled from Ningwu Mansion to Pingyang Mansion, and groups of people could be seen for hundreds of miles, and the merchants of Ningwu Mansion were all gearing up, but they had waited for half a year, and Wu Dalang finally had news here.

"Great, this railroad is just short of manpower." Chang Xing couldn't help but say, what he was most concerned about was this railway, he had accumulated a large number of iron ingots in half a year, and finally had eyebrows.

"Wu Dalang, it was calculated a long time ago, you look at these stone fields, it is a straight line that has been opened, not only providing gravel, but also reducing a lot of detours." He said, pointing to the ten mines on the map.

Huang Baobao doesn't care about this, he wants more slaves, the mines and workshops are now short of people, and those who want him to buy slaves have to step on the threshold, but after the grassland has made a vote, there is no other opportunity, which makes him eager to go to the surrounding area to arrest people.

This time, he gathered a team of more than 5,000 people and made up his mind to do a big job.

As soon as the news spread, Yuci City was so frightened that the city gate was crowded, and the merchants closed the market, and they didn't dare to move.

Here in Pingyang Mansion, next to the former site of Shangshui Fang, the children of the merchants knelt in a row of deserters, all of whom came to ask for guilt, and the Jin merchants were well-informed, and they heard the group of merchants who drank human blood in Ningwu Mansion, and they were once again impulsive like locusts, and they were all in danger.

Fang Zhen was still scolding that unscrupulous son, but now he has burned incense in the Buddha Hall, fortunately, Fang Nianzu did not come back this time, Wu Dalang should have no excuse to deal with his Fang family.

The most headache is Liu Yunzhong, he recently found out all the rumors, but this Wu Dalang jumped out again, and when he combined the front and back, Liu Yunzhong's eyes turned red.

"Okay, you Wu Dalang, your heart can be punished." Liu Yunzhong believed that this was what Wu Dalang did, but only he knew that the world was deceived.

No one believed that who would burn it down by himself, but Wu Dalang jumped out and used this as an excuse to start a war with the bandits.

"It's just beyond his means, a fellow acquaintance of Ningwu Mansion, who has just practiced among the people, dares to speak out against the bandits, it's really a big joke." The general smiled.

They can't ban the gossip, and now they don't have a good impression of Wu Dalang, because his actions are to add fuel to the fire and make the rumors more rampant, so at this time, everyone hopes that this guy will be wiped out by the bandits.

"Yelang is arrogant, and he offended Gonggong Liu, this Wu Dalang is simply killing himself, we just happened to watch the play." The generals of the Beijing camp are all so laughing at Wu Dalang.

Many of them had opinions about Wu Dalang, and in the end they all thought unanimously that even if Wu Dalang finally asked them for help, they would ignore it.

And Liu Yunzhong's thoughts coincided with them, and even hinted that this time the North Road officials and troops really planned to stay still, and it would depend on how this Wu Dalang dug his own grave.

Wu Yi was having a meeting with the merchants of Ningwu Mansion who came over, and there was another one here who was the Jin merchant Fang Zhen, because Fang Nianzu performed well this time and did not run away, which also gave his Fang family a qualification.

Fang Zhen is like sitting on pins and needles, even if he has now become the head of the new Jin merchants, but sitting here, stared at by this group of tiger and wolf merchants, the eyes are like selling livestock, even if he is calm, he is also hairy in his heart.

"Everyone has arrived, so I'll make a long story short, let everyone come over this time, and everyone knows my intentions, right?" Wuyi is not strict with businessmen and speaks easily.

"Of course, the prisoners were captured, and now it is a great opportunity to build the Ningbo Light Railway." Chang Xing said with a laugh.

"Wu Tongzhi, just wait for you to speak, even if I don't use the people's army this time, I can defeat Li Zicheng, the general of Lao Shizi." Huang Baobao said arrogantly, without putting Li Zicheng in his eyes at all.

The other merchants all said the same thing, because this time their strength had increased dramatically, and now they were able to put together a slave hunting team of nearly 20,000 people, which was a force to be reckoned with.

Fang Zhen was even more frightened, he didn't expect that this Ningwu Mansion businessman had developed to such a scale, when he was in Baicheng, he only came into contact with them one-sidedly, and now he knew the horror of this group of Ningwu Mansion merchants.

I'm afraid that in the future, among the Jin merchants, the merchants of Ningwu Mansion will occupy the first place.

Wu Yi suddenly laughed and said, "You only guessed half right, let me ask you what business is the hottest in the mainland today?" ”

This still needs to be asked, that is, children know that salt, iron, and grain, these are the fundamentals of the imperial court, and only officials and businessmen can handle them, and the iron merchants they are here are actually legitimate officials and businessmen, but now there is no such title in Ningwu Mansion for a long time.

"Yes, so, this time our target is Fushun and Artesian Wells." Wu Yi then also said his true intentions.

Fang Zhen's mouth opened wide, and Shioi ...... Wu Dalang's idea to dig a salt well?

Don't talk about him, even the merchants of Ningwu Mansion are all with their mouths wide open, although salt, iron and grain are the hottest trades, but the real profiteering is salt, which is a business that no matter what dynasty the court will not let go, the people cannot do without salt, and well salt is a million profits.

"That's right, now the imperial court is encircling and suppressing this bandit, a big reason is because they have occupied the Yanjing area, Shu Yan is in a slump, and the imperial court has suffered huge losses, but the army is incompetent and has not been taken back, so let's take action." As soon as Wu Yi slapped his big hand, he slapped it on the salt-producing land of this Shu land.

Wu Yi put up all the Shangshui Fang, the loss was huge, where is one Luo Rucai, he has long been staring at the artesian well, and now is a good opportunity to start.

The eyes of the merchants of Ningwu Mansion are as bright as lanterns, and the iron merchants earn hard money, after all, this iron smelting requires a lot of costs, how can there be a salt well that is comfortable, no need to spend money, as long as the water is dried, it is salt, in the past, this was an industry that merchants could not touch, it was controlled by the imperial court, and the reason why salt was popular was because of huge profits.

"This is great, Wu Tongzhi, I, Huang Baobao, am willing to be the pioneer this time and take this artesian well in one fell swoop." Huang Baobao beat his chest like an orangutan with excitement.

The artesian well has only been built for more than 100 years, but because of the sufficient output and good quality, it has already become famous, and if there is a chance to get involved, how can the businessman not be crazy.

"But even if we can defeat it, it doesn't necessarily mean that the court will let it go, and it will definitely be taken back when the time comes." Fang Zhen's mind was quite clear, and he didn't get diluted and say it.

"Of course they will take care of it, and we didn't say that we would occupy the salt well, but as long as there is salt introduction, we don't have the final say." Wu Yi said disapprerovantly, as long as the salt well is in his hands, the things that lead to the salt will be even more uncountable, and the square round is not what he said.

The other merchants immediately understood that this was not the same as their tuntian, and they all smiled, and their eyes were full of silver.

Unlike the merchants, the people finally showed their horror in hindsight, this Shangshui Fang was burned, which directly caused the Ningwu Mansion Chamber of Commerce and the people to fight back, and even started a war against the invincible bandits, doesn't it mean that this Shangshui Fang has reached a terrifying status and strength, and even the Jin merchants can't do things, and now it has happened.

"It's just grandstanding, he has a water shop, what is it if he adds all the merchants and Minyong? Can it be more powerful than the official army? ”

"But this is also terrible enough, at least in the future, those who attack Shangshuifang must be afraid of the power behind this."

Everyone immediately thought of it, what kind of Luo Rucai who offended Sheung Shui Fang before, he was so dignified that he didn't even leave any guards behind overnight.

Accounts differ and opinions vary......

"Wu Dalang!" Li Zicheng gritted his teeth when he learned the news, and also led people to kill him.
