Chapter 50: Sleepless Yu Hang
Tonight is the first gust of wind since the beginning of autumn, and it is a bit strong. Everyone felt that it seemed that autumn had come, and winter was not far away. When everyone is sheltering from the wind at home, the wind is full of buildings, but they are busy.
When I returned to the county office, I saw those government officials and clerks, and they hid back in the living room of the inner office. Feng Manlou gathered these together, and looked at them all in the house, good guys, at least more than fifty people.
"What about the rest?" Feng Manlou asked.
was a little bolder, and hurriedly said, "It's all home!" ”
Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "Now listen to the official's words, there may be a storm disaster in the past two days, all the officials of the yamen, catch fast, write office, in short, as long as it is an individual, all take action and make preparations!" ”
Just now, the official asked, "My lord, how do you prepare?" ”
Feng Manlou said: "You, take a few people, go and inform Lord Wei, Lord Qian, as well as Liu Dutou and Master Dai, by the way, and the people outside, all call back!" ”
The official hurriedly took the order, although it was already late, but he did not dare to slack off at all!
Feng Manlou looked at the remaining people and said, "Dong Chao Xue Ba, you are in a team of two, bring ten people, be in charge of Dongcheng, and notify the people door to door, pay attention to wind, fire, and rain!" ”
This ghost weather, since it is a typhoon, will definitely be accompanied by strong winds and rain, which is not to say.
"Sun Hu Wang Ying, you take ten people to Xicheng to notify door to door, remember, if you don't finish the notice tonight, you are definitely not allowed to go back to the yamen to rest!" Feng Manlou said.
Sun Hu Wang Ying received the order and also followed. Feng Manlou looked at the remaining twenty or so people and said, "For the rest of the people, leave five people on duty in the yamen!" The other three people rushed to the prefect's yamen overnight to report the wind disaster, so that the prefect could prepare early! The rest of the people joined the county and went door-to-door to inform! ”
In less than an hour, the whole city was already in action, and everyone was busy and getting ready. Fortify the house of the fortified house, this storm will be big, maybe when the storm will come. Cleaned up, cleaned up. The whole of Yuhang is a hot scene.
When Wei Zhongshu came to the yamen, he saw other officials, and they also said to the county yamen, and those officials on duty said the words of Feng Manlou.
Wei Zhongshu said: "No wonder this official feels that something is very wrong today! By the way, you, you, a few of you, go to the countryside and notify those people, each village, you must be notified in place, and you must be ready to fight the disaster! ”
The officials took the order.
Liu Dutou said: "Lord Wei, do your subordinates want to report to the prefect's yamen?" ”
Wei Zhongshu thought for a moment and said, "Lord Feng should have already reported to the prefect's yamen. Let's act first, in this way, Liu Dutou, you bring a few people and be responsible for delivering everyone's news. This official took a few people to patrol the streets, and if they encountered robbery while the fire was burning, they would all be dealt with strictly! ”
Qian Weilun said: "Then what does the lower official do? ”
Wei Zhongshu looked at it and said: "The yamen needs people to stay, and now is an extraordinary time, so please ask Lord Qian to stay in the yamen, and if there is anything, I can inform everyone!" ”
Wei Zhongshu did not patrol the streets, but took the opportunity of patrolling to come to Xiao's Mansion and found Xiao Zongxun!
"Taigong, I thought it would be the surname Feng who deliberately let the wind go tonight?" Wei Zhongshu said.
Xiao Zongxun thought for a while and said: "Probably not, if he deliberately creates rumors, the purpose is to cause chaos in the whole city, so that although he has the opportunity to get the covenant, but it also alarms the whole city, the old man will not be so stupid if he wants to be surnamed Feng!" ”
Wei Zhongshu said: "Such a good opportunity, it's a pity! ”
Xiao Zongxun said: "No, if the old man guesses correctly, there may be another group of people coming tonight, but our purpose is not to let them get the covenant, we must be more careful tonight!" ”
Wei Zhongshu said: "Taigong is saying that it may be that Wang Jien will come tonight?" ”
Xiao Zongxun said: "No, that old guy is smarter than anyone else, how can he do it easily!" I guess he just wants to come to the test, the old man has already arranged manpower to ensure that no matter how many people he comes, there will be no return! ”
Wei Zhongshu said: "It's a pity that such a good opportunity! I thought the surname Feng was very shrewd, but it turned out to be nothing more than that! ”
Xiao Zongxun said: "The surname Feng is not simple! The old man has already let out the wind, on the fifteenth day of next month, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, our officials in Yuhang, as well as their families, as in previous years, will go to Yangzhou Mansion to watch the Oiran Competition, and then it will be the best opportunity! The old man thought to himself, this surnamed Feng will definitely not give up this opportunity, and when the time comes, let's let the surnamed Feng and Wang Jien have a fight! ”
Wei Zhongshu patted his ass and said, "Taigong is really a good idea. By the way, you said that now that the storm is coming, will the money bank of Huitong Bank open on time, and now the whole city has become a sensation. If we don't open, isn't our plan in vain? ”
Xiao Zongxun said: "Don't worry! The old man has seen a lot of the wind disaster in Yuhang, which year's summer and autumn, don't come to two games? There was certainly no storm this time, but there was definitely heavy rain! The earliest in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, the latest the night after tomorrow, will definitely come! ”
When Wei Zhongshu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Won't the matter of the embankment be exposed?" ”
Xiao Zongxun said: "It's okay, the key is that anyway, it will be Qian Weilun's old dog who will go to the top!" Dare to betray us, I really don't know whether to live or die! Remember, as long as we resist the money bank of Huitong Bank, when it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, our plan will be completed! ”
Wei Zhongshu nodded!
Feng Manlou was busy with the notification of the family, and found that the Yang family's house seemed to be completely unnoticed, Feng Manlou knocked on the door, and the little maid in the porter saw that it was Feng Manlou, and there were so many people, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle, Miss is in the study!" ”
Feng Manlou asked, "It's so late, and you haven't rested yet?" ”
The little guy said: "Miss said, even if the storm comes, our money village will be opened, and it must not be affected, the whole city already knows about it, and I am afraid that after the wind disaster, it will affect the business of the money village." ”
Feng Manlou didn't speak, just went in alone, someone had already reported it, and Yang Hongcai was waiting for Feng Manlou in the study.
"The matter of the typhoon disaster has been known, and the official came to announce it just now!" Yang Hongcai said.
Feng Manlou said with a smile: "It's not about the wind disaster, that Huitong Bank bank, you came up with it?" ”
Yang Hongcai said: "What, isn't it good? ”
Feng Manlou thought for a while and said, "Very good, how did you come up with it, I heard Menzi just now, are you ready to open on time, are you ready?" ”
Yang Hongcai said: "Almost. Our Yang family's shop, ten have changed hands at a low price, and there are only two left. I'm going to use the best one to make the bank, and I'll put the rest there. In terms of personnel, they are all former bookkeepers, and they are all quite skilled. The only thing I'm worried about now is that we haven't made a name for ourselves yet, and many people are not at ease! ”
Feng Manlou smiled: "Don't worry! When the time comes, you can ask me to give you a speech and advertise by the way. And I also contacted other people, you can rest assured that you can collect the money! ”
Yang Hongcai smiled: "It's pretty much the same!" But thank you so much! Also, the question of the interest rate, I think, you still set it a little high, so I adjusted it slightly, and the interest rate for one month was changed to one year's interest! ”
Feng Manlou said, "What are these words? Isn't that how it should be! You're more budget-conscious than I am, so of course I'll listen to you. By the way, I'm going to go out and get busy! With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Yang Hongcai said: "Otherwise, if you don't go back tonight, let's rest here!" Beware of not getting tired! ”
This is the first thoughtful sentence that Yang Hongcai has said for so long, Feng Manlou was moved in his heart, and said: "No, I'm still very busy now, I'm afraid that this wind disaster will happen tomorrow, and it will be too late!" Feng Manlou knew that Yang Hongcai didn't mean anything else, but he was just not good at expressing it.
Not long after Feng Manlou went out, some people shouted all the way, the storm is coming, everyone should pay attention and so on. Suddenly, a voice from behind shouted, "Lord Wind, please stay!" ”
Feng Manlou turned his head to see that it was Zhao Yuankan, thinking that he was trying to ask him for help, but saw Zhao Yuankan coming forward, followed by a carriage.
Zhao Yuankan invited Feng Manlou into the carriage and said, "Teacher, the big thing is not good, tonight, Wang Jien, that bastard, suddenly took away the five inner guards sent to him by his father!" ”
Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you sure?" ”
Zhao Yuankan said: "Sure! Big brother is not worried, let me come out to discuss with you. Did he go for the covenant? ”
Feng Manlou smiled: "Don't worry! If that person really wanted to give the covenant to Wang Jien, he would have gotten it a long time ago. And with his cleverness, it is absolutely impossible not to imagine that someone will steal it tonight! ”
Zhao Yuankan touched his head and said, "Teacher, what do you mean, why can't I understand a word?" ”
Feng Manlou smiled: "It's okay, it won't be long before you understand." ”
Zhao Yuankan said: "There is one more thing, that is, Xiaoxiangyue, the abbot of Shaolin after the 80s, came with news that next month's Oiran Competition, all the officials of Yuhang will go, just like in previous years!" If the teacher knew where the covenant was, it would be a good time! ”
Feng Manlou said: "Why didn't he tell me personally? ”
You were running so fast that you didn't have time to say. Of course, Zhao Yuankan didn't know, but said: "Also, do you know who presided over this Oiran Conference?" ”
Feng Manlou shook his head, and Zhao Yuankan said, "It's Wei Zhongshu Wei Xiancheng!" This Oiran Conference was originally organized by the folk Academy, because at the Oiran Conference, there were some famous songs, and the poems they sang would definitely cause a sensation in Jiangnan, so it was very popular with some readers. ”
Feng Manlou smiled: "This has nothing to do with Wei Zhongshu!" ”
"Of course it has a relationship, this kind of Oiran Conference, generally to invite some people to preside, and the people who preside over every year, are different, it is the officials in several counties of Hangzhou Prefecture who take turns to preside, who presides over an Oiran Conference, it will be famous, so the people in the official government are also flocking to it! This year, it happened to be the turn of Wei Zhongshu Wei Xiancheng in Yuhang! Zhao Yuankan said.
Feng Manlou said: "Got it! When the time comes, let's go to the lively and lively! Otherwise, I'm so sorry for people! ”
Zhao Yuankan was about to go back, Feng Manlou hurriedly said: "Wait, there are still things to discuss with you!" ”
