Chapter Twenty-Six: Bamboo and Wood Flying

Chapter 26 Bamboo and Wood Flying

Three days later, in the afternoon of this day, there was a successful martial arts competition in Zhuangkou, and the children came very early on this day, and there were thirty or forty more people, and Zhu Zhenguo took Yun Shuhuan to be late. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Zhu Zhenguo arrived, the conference began immediately, and eighty people were selected, many young people could only watch from the sidelines, but this time it was not a paper ball, Zhu Zhenguo had specially found a carpenter in Zhuangzhong to make eighty wooden signs these days. There are forty commonly used Chinese characters on the wooden sign. Zhu Zhenguo thought in his heart that it was time to compare the time of the martial arts conference, and everyone should know about these forty words, and change a batch of wooden signs in a few months. In this way, you can also teach people to learn some words.

There were more than 100 children, all of whom were carrying bamboo knives and sticks, and the scene was also spectacular, which reminded Zhu Zhenguo of the beggar gang meeting in the novel, which was inevitably a little funny.

The use of equipment Yun Shuhuan is obviously higher than others, only to see Yun Shuhuan's bamboo knife flying, hitting children one by one, and finally winning the first place, and Tie Niu is only barely in the top ten in today's competition, it is really Tie Niu A wooden stick is not very good, and the strength is not too much advantage.

When Yun Shuhuan and Zhu Zhenguo competed, Zhu Zhenguo held a bamboo knife and put it on his side and waited for Shuhuan to make the first move, not that Zhu Zhenguo didn't know that it was strong to strike first, but that Zhu Zhenguo had a new realm, which was gaining momentum and full self-confidence.

Yun Shuhuan didn't say much, and easily defeating many people also brought Yun Shuhuan great confidence, rushing up and dancing the bamboo knife and slashing straight at Zhu Zhenguo's neck, but Zhu Zhenguo didn't dodge, only to see the bamboo knife flash, aiming at Yun Shuhuan's arm with a knife.

Yun Shuhuan's arm had not yet been waved in place, and he saw that Zhu Zhenguo's bamboo knife was about to be intercepted on the line that his arm must pass, and he was busy trying to put away the knife and cut again, but it was too late, only to feel that his arm hurt, and the knife had landed.

Zhu Zhenguo didn't make a second knife, looking at Yun Shuhuan holding his arm so painful that his female teeth grinned, and said with a smile: "Sharpen a knife in a few years." This is the first time I have used it today. ”

Yun Shuhuan is not pretentious: "The young master's knife is really fast, Shuhuan will practice more in the future, and it will be faster in the future." ”

Zhu Zhenguo also brought medicine and wine today, and he also knew that today's competition with bamboo knives and sticks would inevitably cause many people to be really hurt, and if they were not properly disposed of, these children would be afraid that it would be difficult to explain when they went back.

At the end of today's competition, Zhu Zhenguo also issued copper coins, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, he didn't collect a total of five or six taels of New Year's money for the New Year, plus some of his own hiding, less than ten taels of silver, this activity was organized once It was nearly 300 yuan, at most more than 30 times, and he became a poor egg, but he had no money in three months.

Zhu Wenzhong is still leading the guards in Zhuangzhong, but this guard has also been stabilized, and he doesn't need to lead the training himself, and this year he has focused more on teaching his nephew. It's okay to go around in Qingshan County, and you will meet old friends.

Zhu Wenzhong has always been reluctant to marry a wife, just because he is a little unconfident in his disabled appearance, and he also knows that his temperament is a little prodigal, and the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes is still a little strong, and he is afraid that he will not be able to take care of a family, so he has always been reluctant to marry a wife and have children.

Recently, Zhu Wenzhong himself is also thinking about some things, after the old friends in the county will pass, I learned some things, that is, the sale of illegal salt in this county, most of my old friends are some of the original prodigal children, and now many of them are also doing illegal trading to make a living, either opening casinos or enclosing hooks, and there are also people who sell illegal salt.

This kind of thing is also rampant in the whole country of Dahua, this official salt is expensive and small, and the quality is also uneven, mainly because the official salt has a heavy tax. The price of illicit salt is low, and the quality of this is very good for the sake of competition among merchants. Salt is still a necessity for people's livelihood, and there is no worry that it cannot be sold, and this business is still profitable.

The risk of selling illicit salt is neither big nor small. Salt tax is one of the important sources of national finance, so the imperial court's crackdown on illegal salt is quite large on the surface, but when it comes to the illegal salt sales business, there are countless pawns from scholars above the court to private peddlers.

Therefore, the risk of this private salt is mainly determined by whether it can go through the official relationship. Zhu Wenzhong has recently gone through the relationship with Cheng Daqi, the two have a very good personal relationship, and they meet from time to time to drink and listen to plays, and Cheng Daqi has sold a lot of weapons in the treasury to Zhu Zhenguo, and one of the 100 households in the county is to protect the salt tax. Such a relationship also led to Zhu Wenzhong's interest in the private salt business.

It just so happened that some old friends also came up with the idea of letting Zhu Wenzhong come forward to preside over the private salt business in Qingshan County, Zhu Wenzhong has thought about it for a long time and has decided to intervene. Zhu Wenzhong has both sides, and he still wants to make this money.

Summoned his forty or fifty brothers, and talked about this matter, he also got the support of all the brothers, and the money was at hand, and he was sorry for heaven and earth if he didn't take it. What's more, these brothers' families are also ordinary families, just enough to feed and wear, and if they don't take them to earn some money, they can't live with the loyalty that has been with them for so many years.

The next thing to do is to move the household, and the transfer of household registration is also to protect the family, in case the matter is revealed, it will not involve the family, Zhu Wenzhong took a few brothers to buy a medium-sized house in a remote place near Yahang in the county seat, and then separated from the three brothers, and he was registered in the city alone.

Then he found Cheng Daqi to directly explain that he wanted to meddle in the trade of private salt in the county, and agreed to have at least 80 taels of cash per month. Cheng Daqi used to get so many benefits in the private salt stall, and the sum of each three taels and five taels was less than thirty or forty taels, and he had to go down from time to time to "crack" at the small traders who did not understand the rules. Cheng Daqi immediately said that money is a trivial matter, and he must support the great cause of his brothers.

Recruited a few old friends who were familiar with the family, prepared more than a dozen tables of wine and food in the largest restaurant in the county, and notified all the illegal salt dealers in the county to come to the banquet.

What Zhu Wenzhong has to do is to rearrange all the private salt business, and in the future, everyone will have to get the goods in their own hands, and then their respective sales sites will also be arranged by themselves, and they will not be easily dumped.

It's easy to say, but it's even harder to get people to do it according to the idea. Most of the private salt in Qingshan County comes from the salt wells in the west, and enters Fushui Lake by land from Chuanshan County in the west, and then comes down to Dajiang County by Fushui Lake waterway, and then goes all the way east to Qing'an County, and even to the counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

If you want to control the illegal salt in the entire Qingshan County, you must first control all the salt merchants and hawkers, these salt merchants who come to the banquet are obviously not the goods that can be bullied by a few words, otherwise they will not be inextricably fought because of the territory problem, and a few lives have been lost.

This banquet is also a notice, and the next thing is to be solved by force.
