He was afraid that Yang Chengzu would refuse, so he said: "I originally wanted to find a girl to marry you casually, and blow the lamp left and right, it's all the same." But now that I have changed my mind, I will marry you my most outstanding daughter, who is the most beautiful and most like me. ”

Yang Chengzu looked at Zhao Jiuxiong, who was like black iron, with bald eyebrows, triangular eyes, a wide nose, and a bearded face, and didn't know where this daughter, who was most like him, could stand out. He hesitated for a moment and said: "I have already said this, the order of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, there is an old mother in the family, it is not my turn to be the master." ”

"That's a wife." Zhao Jiuxiong also seemed to have made a difficult decision, gritted his teeth and said: "Only by marrying a wife do you need the words of the matchmaker of your parents, I have already thought about it, I, Zhao, am just a reckless outburst of the rivers and lakes, neither a famous family nor a prestigious family, even an ancestor is indiscriminately recognized, and even whether I am surnamed Zhao is not sure." So what do those rules, dough, have to do with me? My daughter is the daughter of a coolie leader, if Yang Gongzi doesn't give up, I will let her go to you as a concubine, as long as you have a name, you will take care of my son in the future. ”

He originally wanted his daughter to be the eldest wife, but after several negotiations, he basically guessed Liu's attitude, and he didn't want to recognize him as an in-law. If he wants to talk about this kind of attitude, he must not be happy in his heart, but now, he understands Liu's thoughts a little.

Yang Chengzu was ambitious as a young man, had scheming and means, and arranged this matter, and even his old rivers and lakes had to admire him a little bit in making people's hearts. A person like this has an unlimited future, and marrying the daughter of a man in the rivers and lakes seems to be a bit high.

He was originally a decisive master, since he couldn't be the main room, then be the side room, and if he was small, he would be small, as long as he ensured that there was a relationship. He said:

"Don't worry, I won't save money on the dowry. And my daughter, I guarantee that you are satisfied, speaking of which, I originally wanted to find a good family for her to make a big house, but now, I am willing to let her be a small one for you. ”

"Ninth Master, let's get busy with business first, children's affairs, let's wait until we are busy with business. How's the matter of food going now? Yang Chengzu knew that the other party had retreated to this point, and if he refused again, he was afraid that he would have to turn his face. So I had to change the topic, the worst thing is that I should sacrifice myself for the people, anyway, it doesn't matter if it's ugly, it's a big deal not to sleep with her.

"Grain, the grain of those three boats has already been put into storage, and in a few days, there will be two more grain ships that will capsize." Zhao Jiuxiong talked about food with a smug smile on his face

"Five boats of grain, even if one boat is relieved, there are still four boats of grain in hand, this wave catches up with the market, and it is guaranteed to make a fortune. Chengzu, our own people, I won't be polite to you, let's join in a share. As long as you nod your head, you don't need to pay real money, I will be my girl's dowry. ”

"Ninth Master, how many people are doing this grain business, can you give me an account first, so that I can also have a number in my heart?"

"How many people do it? Let me tell you, this grain business must be done by people from the entire eight provinces of Henan. Not to mention anything else, the people of the palace will also participate. Now it is still in the stage of hoarding grain, everyone is engaged in grain, and grain prices will rise a little bit. But don't worry, I have already prepared it for you, the best fine grain fifteen stones, and I will let the children send it to your home when I turn around, my uncle Zhao Jiu can't starve. The more this time, the more you have to eat good noodles and good food, which is called magnificent. ”

"Thank you Ninth Master for your care. On the Cao Gang's side, how many people are involved? ”

"Jin Daxiangtou came from the turn card issued by Luoyang, which is to tell us that the major altars, drift more, don't be afraid of big numbers, big numbers make a lot of money, the government, with him to play a point, there will be no problems. This time, he wanted to make a lot of money, and I heard that he also sent people to Huguang to buy Hunan rice, waiting for the grain price to be high and make a profit from it. ”

"I see, Ninth Master, what if I say that I don't want you to make this fortune?"

Zhao Jiuxiong was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting." Yang Chengzu smiled, "I also know that every time there is a famine, it is when you get rich, cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents, which is a taboo in the rivers and lakes." But this time it's not a natural disaster, at most it's **, I eat the court's money, I want to make ** smaller, so as not to cause too much harm, and finally shake the country's foundation and threaten the foundation of the court. ”

He came to the window of the building and pointed down, "Ninth Master, look, how lively this dock is." These people are your source of wealth, and for every bag they carry, you can earn a few bucks, and the more refugees, the less valuable the bag is, and the more you earn. You deserve it, I don't have any opinion. But they are not only a source of money, they are also volcanoes. Have you ever thought about it, you have worked hard all day, but the money you earn is not enough to earn yourself a full meal, do you say that you will have no resentment in your heart? ”

"If a person has a grudge, we usually call it deserved, and we don't need to pay attention to it. But if these dock workers are resentful, they may infect each other, and eventually even those who are not resentful will have resentment. The way they resist is usually to choose not to work, get up and make trouble with you, and demand a wage increase. At this time, what you need are thugs, whips and clubs. But if they all rise up and resist, your men may not be able to defeat them, and at this time, you will need the archers of the Inspection Division. ”

Zhao Jiuxiong didn't seem to understand it, he hadn't encountered this situation like Yang Chengzu said, but when he thought about it, he felt that if such a thing really happened, it would be the most terrible thing in the world.

"The people of the Inspection Department still have a way to deal with these coolies, hack a few to death, and the others will disperse. But what if they don't disperse? You also know about those exposing posts and documents, which shows that some people are instigating the people and want to seek great rebellion. If among these coolies, there are those traitorous henchmen, they will instigate the coolies to rise up and fight with the people of the inspection department, they can no longer eat, and the boat is full of rice, you say that in order to grab rice, will they fight hard? ”

"They have no weapons, no armor, and they may not have any martial arts. But in order to live, they will use their bodies to carry bows, arrows, knives and guns, they will tear the armor of the officials and soldiers alive, they will tear through their camps, and finally rush up, tear open the sack, and dare to pour raw white rice into their stomachs. And your ninth master, you have a house and land, an estate and a manor, and you have a beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine at home, will these coolies let you go? ”

"This is just the wharf, if the entire Huaxian people have to grab food, silver and silk, and a wife to give birth to their own children, at that time, it will be a civil uprising. Just a few years after the incident of the White Army, we all still have an impression in our hearts. When you get to that point, how much furniture have you earned, and what's the point? ”
