Chapter 157: Wang Teng's Methods
PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
As soon as the Zuixiang Building gathered, Wang Teng received a total of five hundred taels of silver.
Five hundred taels of silver, this is not a cheer, but a slap in the face! You must know that there were twenty-three squires who participated in the banquet, but in the end, they only made up such a number, which made Wang Teng lose face.
Before the banquet, Wang Teng estimated that without hurting his muscles and bones, it would be easy for the Guangling squire to get together two thousand taels, even if he made a discount, one thousand taels would not be in vain, but under Liu Wenyuan's mixing, a good fundraising changed its taste.
If Wang Teng can't make an effective response, he will have no prestige in Guangling from now on!
What means can Wang Teng have?
The banquet broke up unhappily, and in the county office, the county magistrate Fei Qing sneered, he had already gotten the news, and Wang Teng only got five hundred taels of silver.
What is five hundred taels enough?
Buy another 200 acres of wasteland?
Thinking of the wasteland that Wang Teng had just bought, Fei Qing felt very happy, and he didn't know if Wang Teng was stupid to buy a dry field near the mountain, where there was a lack of water sources, and he might not even be able to recover the cost of planting crops.
"A reckless man is a reckless man, even if he does six products and thousands of households, he is not afraid!"
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound outside, "Liu Zhiyuan and Master Liu ask to see."
"Hurry up, please!"
Fei Qing and Liu Zhiyuan are considered to be brothers in the same school, they have the same teacher, and not long after Fei Qing arrived, he hooked up with Liu Zhiyuan.
A squire leader plus a county honor, how can such energy be idle?
After a while, Liu Zhiyuan and Fei Qing sat down.
Fei Qing said with a smile: "Brother Zitong, I heard that today you destroyed Wang Teng's prestige. It's really a big boost to the wind of our scholars."
Liu Zhiyuan shrank slightly, "Wang Teng's milk stinks and doesn't dry, although he is a little clever, but he can't help us, today is just to teach him a lesson, let him know that this Guangling is not the place where he covers the sky with one hand."
Fei Qingshen thought so, "Yes." The Holy Son of Heaven and the scholars rule the world together, as long as the ignorant and reckless man knows how to work hard before the battle, the world will depend on us after all! What Brother Zitong did today is really happy."
Liu Zhiyuan was very proud, but thinking of the few soldiers in front of the Zuixiang Building, he was a little hesitant, "I heard that there are quite a few outlaws under Wang Teng, will this person jump off the wall in a hurry?" ”
Fei Qingshu chuckled. "I don't dare to borrow a few guts from him, now Wang Teng is a Guangling defense officer, if there is a big case in the government, he can't hide from it!"
Liu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard that Ding Jiabao Ding Yuanwai died at the hands of this person."
Fei Qingzheng said: "Brother Zitong, if Wang Teng really has no king's law and does evil, I will definitely join him." Bring him to justice! ”
Liu Zhiyuan bowed his hand slightly, "The life of the Guangling squire is entrusted to the hands of the jade." Thank you for my brother first."
Fei Qing humbled again and again, "Oh, Brother Zitong, you are older than me, so it torments me."
Liu Zhiyuan took out a pawn ticket from the wide embroidered robe, "This is a little bit of everyone's heart."
Fei Qingqian accepted it after giving it a while.
During the Chongzhen period, the silver ticket had not yet appeared. Bribe-givers often use pawn tickets as a means of bribery.
In short, the bribe giver needs to put valuables into the pawnshop cheaply, and the pawnshop does not recognize the person, as long as the bribe taker takes out the pawn ticket, he can recover the antique treasure at a very low price.
Compared with the straightforward "giving money", this kind of bribery is even more hidden. Extremely difficult to spot.
In the county government, Fei Qing and Liu Zhiyuan, who were embarrassed, had a very happy conversation.
Dinghe Fort, Huang Hu has already heard what happened to Wang Teng today, "My lord, this matter can't be counted like this, Liu Zhiyuan, the thief, has a grange outside the city, and I will burn this village tonight to vent this evil breath for the adult."
Wang Teng shook his head, "It doesn't have to be like this, I have a way to deal with Liu Zhiyuan."
Huang Hu was skeptical, "My lord, as long as I give me ten subordinates, I can do this."
Wang Teng frowned, "And then?" You are the Guangling patrol, and I am the Guangling defense officer, Liu's Grange will not give up if it is destroyed, and when the time comes, Fei Qing will play the imperial court, and we will do nothing? That's a big loss."
Huang Hu was still unhappy, "What should I do?" This breath must come out, otherwise how can we gain a foothold in Guangling? ”
Of course, Wang Teng understood the truth, "Don't worry, it won't take a few days for them to come to the door."
Huang Hu was a little depressed, and left without looking back.
Huang Degong didn't leave, he arched his hand slightly, and said in his mouth: "My lord, Liu Zhiyuan and Fei Qing are embarrassed, and they are enemies, so adults must be more careful."
Wang Teng Zhengse said: "You can rest assured in this matter, don't they like to calculate people?" This time I'm going to give them a taste of being calculated! ”
Huang Degong didn't say much, he knew that Wang Teng was a very assertive person.
Now that Wang Teng obviously has a way, there is no need to talk more.
Sent away Huang Hu and Huang Degong, Wang Teng came to the craftsman's workshop.
In order to improve efficiency and ensure secrecy, Wang Teng set up a sentry post outside the workshop, and there were soldiers on duty here every day.
"Mr. Wang Qian!"
After checking the military card, Wang Tengfang entered, "What about Mr. Zhang?" ”
"Lord Banner is in charge of the room"
Under Wang Teng's suggestion, the craftsman battalion has now adopted the method of division of labor and cooperation, which has greatly improved the work efficiency.
When Wang Teng met Blacksmith Zhang, he was inspecting the quality of the firecracker.
"Mr. Zhang"
Blacksmith Zhang looked up and was surprised to see Wang Teng, "My lord, why are you here?" ”
Wang Teng took out a drawing of a waterwheel from his arms, "Can you build this waterwheel?" ”
Waterwheel?
Blacksmith Zhang took the drawing, the ink was not dry, it was obviously newly painted, and there was no doubt that this was Wang Teng's handiwork.
For Wang Teng's whimsical ideas that pop up from time to time, Blacksmith Zhang is already a little accustomed to it, "My lord, this waterwheel is only afraid that it will exceed two zhang, right?" ”
"yes, can you make it?"
After carefully reading the drawings, Blacksmith Zhang said hesitantly: "This waterwheel has a complex structure, and the skeleton looks very large, can the gourd water move?" ”
The gourd water flows through the three states and two prefectures, and the amount of water is medium, so it must be no problem to drive the waterwheel, Wang Teng gave a positive answer.
Blacksmith Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, "My lord, give me a little time, and I'll ponder it again."
Wang Teng was noncommittal, the waterwheel he drew was the Yellow River waterwheel, although this thing appeared a hundred years ago, but due to the high cost and lack of information, many people have never seen this thing at all.
Wang Teng built a waterwheel to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle!
You must know that ninety percent of the land in the entire Guangling County must be irrigated with gourd water, and if Wang Teng diverts the river water, the amount of water downstream will definitely decrease, and at that time, it will be the turn of the squires to be distressed.
