Chapter 162: Return to Viyan
After a few months, Wu Jin returned to Weiyang County again, he stood on the bow of the boat, staring at the tall and towering sacred tree outside the dock, he was full of emotion in his heart, when he left Weiyang County, he was just an unknown boy, but when he returned to Weiyang County a few months later, he was already famous all over the world, becoming a heavyweight and powerful figure in the Daning Dynasty, which made him not feel the creation of fate, I don't know if he knew his fate when he first came to Weiyang County, this sacred tree knew his fate?
"Childe, can I interrupt your thoughts?" Qi Fengwu's soft voice came from behind him.
Wu Jin turned around and smiled slightly: "You have already interrupted." ”
"Ahh I'm so sorry, I don't want to ....."
Qi Fengwu smiled apologetically: "I have an important matter to find Gongzi, it is about silver taels, can you store it on the ship first, don't unload it immediately." ”
"Miss Feng Wu, I don't think it's an important matter, don't you have anything else to do, along the way, I feel like you want to say something to me?"
Qi Fengwu's face flushed, and Ai Ai said: "I do have other things, I want to discuss with Gongzi how to deal with Donglai and Baifu, but I don't know if Gongzi is free, I know that Gongzi is carrying the plum blossom guard and the water army, and he is very busy with official business." ”
Wu Jin shook his head, "Don't think about Donglai Commercial Bank, it won't unite with Baifu for the time being, we can concentrate on dealing with Baifu." ”
"Why, Donglai...."Qi Fengwu was stunned.
Just as Qi Fengwu and Wu Jin were standing at the bow of the boat talking, in a cabin, the maid Ah Qiao was looking out of the window, watching Wu Jin and Qi Fengwu's conversation with jealousy.
"How can she talk to Childe at the bow of the boat? was seen by others, and still thought she was the main mother, what did she mean, did she want to take away her son? ”
This cabin is Jing Niang's room, Ah Qiao found that Qi Fengwu went to find Wu Jin, she didn't dare to tell Miss, so she ran to Jing Niang to tell the resentment in her heart.
Unlike Ah Qiao's jealousy, Jing Niang seems very indifferent, her whole mind is on practicing calligraphy, she doesn't read much, just barely able to read, Wujin hopes that she will read more books, and she will be a good husband and children in the future, since her husband said so, she naturally has to redouble her efforts.
Not only reading, she saw that Su Han's handwriting was very beautiful and beautiful, and she was envious, so she begged her to guide herself, Su Han had the style of a grandfather, and she was a good teacher, so she happily taught Jingniang to write, and let her practice writing a thousand words every day.
Jing Niang smiled while writing: "I said that you are the emperor and the eunuch is not in a hurry, and the young lady is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" Just talk, what's the matter, besides, Feng Wuren is not bad, she looks beautiful, even if the son marries her, I think it's also a beautiful thing, but you, be careful, see that half of your body is out, don't fall into the sea. ”
"You.... You! ”
Ah Qiao gritted his teeth angrily, "I've never seen a concubine like you, there is only one man, and let other women rob it, I really don't know what to say about you, Miss is so good to you!" ”
"Okay, okay, you can rest assured! Childe will accept you into the house in the future, so you don't want to eat this dry vinegar. ”
"I won't tell you."
Ah Qiao was told the central matter, her face was flushed with shame, and she stomped her feet and ran back to her cabin, Jing Niang smiled and shook her head, this little girl is only fourteen years old, is she thinking of spring?
Ah Qiao just ran away, but Su Han walked in with a smile, "Jing Niang, what's wrong with that girl?" With a flushed face, what do you say to her? ”
Jing Niang hurriedly got up and saluted, "Eldest sister! ”
Su Han waved his hand, "Don't salute like this in the future, you just need to respect me in your heart, just do it, we are all sisters, and we will be together in the future!" All right? Feel free. ”
Jing Niang nodded embarrassedly, she handed the written words to Su Han, "I think what I wrote today is a little better than yesterday, what does the eldest sister think?" ”
Su Han looked at it carefully, pointed to the words behind and said: "The words in front have improved, but in the end, these words are not good, it seems that you are a little absent-minded." ”
"That's it! When I wrote these words, Ah Qiao kept making noise next to me, which made me unable to concentrate. ”
"What is she talking about?"
"What else can she say? She said that Feng Wu and Gongzi stood on the bow of the boat and talked, others would think that Feng Wu was the main mother, and she was angry, but eldest sister, she was very protective of you. ”
Su Han shook her head and smiled: "This girl, she only sees Feng Wu, and men are socializing a lot outside?" Is talking to women less? If she is so jealous, her teeth will be sore. ”
"Sister, seriously, you really don't care?" Jing Niang pointed in the direction of the bow of the boat with her pen.
Su Han smiled faintly, "It's not a question that I don't care about, Wu Jin is a person who wants to do big things, since I marry him, I have to bear some things, hey!" Jing Niang, you don't understand. ”
....... There are two wharves in Weiyang County, the north is the civil and commercial wharf, the cargo ships are gathered, thousands of masts are like forests, and the south is about five miles away is the naval wharf, perhaps because of the heavy business, the East China Sea military government is not big, it is the smallest of the six naval military houses in Chuzhou, there are only more than 100 warships, more than 2,000 people, most of the main ships are medium-sized warships of about 2,000 stones, like the huge warship of the Shenzhou level that Wujin is riding, the East China Sea military government does not have, but the wharf draft is very deep, and the Tiger Ben ship can also slowly dock, Other ships that followed also docked one after another, and more than 2,000 officers and men disembarked one after another.
Huangfu Wujin got off the boat first, his wives and concubines followed far behind, and the heir of the East China Sea Military Mansion Captain Zong hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, "The heir of the lowly sect, see the governor!" ”
Wu Jin hurriedly helped him up, and smiled at the officers who greeted him: "I grew up in Weiyang County since I was a child, and it is the first time I have come to the Water Military Mansion, and it is also the first time I have seen General Zong, in fact, we should all be old acquaintances." ”
All the officers laughed together, and Zong Jiji said ashamedly: "The main reason is that the army is not very in contact with the locality, although everyone will go to Weiyang County to play when the army is on vacation, but it is not easy to know the big clan of Weiyang County, I really didn't expect that the governor also lives in Weiyang County, so ....."
Wu Jin listened to his repeated explanations, and knew that he was an honest man, not slippery at all, and couldn't speak, so he smiled at him: "Don't say so much, tomorrow at noon, I will invite the officers above the rank of lieutenant and all civilian officials to go to the Baifu Restaurant in the north city of Weiyang County to drink, everyone must give me face." ”
Everyone is overjoyed, it's to go to Baifu Restaurant! That's the best restaurant in Donghai County, this new governor is really good, much more generous than the previous governor, everyone agreed, but Zong Jihei was a little embarrassed, "Governor, if everyone goes, there will be no one in the barracks." ”
Wu Jin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's your business, you arrange it yourself, but I want to say that you have to come yourself." ”
Zong Jihei had no choice but to agree with a bitter face, and at this time, a soldier stepped forward to report: "Report, there are many carriages at the gate of the barracks, saying that they are here to pick up people." ”
Wu Jin said with a smile: "That's here to pick me up and my family, General Zong, you will solve the problem of food and lodging for my brothers in the army, if there is anything, you discuss it with General Lin." ”
Wu Jin pointed at Lin Yuanyang, Lin Yuanyang had been promoted by him to Captain Guoyi, the leader of more than 2,000 naval forces, Lin Yuanyang saw that Du Du pointed to himself, and hurriedly bowed his hand, and the heir of Zong gave him a salute back, and nodded, "Yes, we have a big military camp here, and we can live there." ”
He immediately ordered his officers to make arrangements, and Wu Jin smiled at everyone again: "Everyone, tomorrow at noon, we will have a good conversation at Baifu Restaurant, and I will go first." ”
At this time, eight wide carriages had already lined up and stopped in front of them, this was Qi Ruifu's carriage, Wu Jin let his wife and concubine and maid sit in a carriage, he saw a chief steward reporting something to Qi Fengwu, his expression was serious, he stepped forward and whispered to Su Han: "I sit in a car with Miss Fengwu and the Qi family steward, I want to hear about the situation in Weiyang County." ”
Su Han nodded and smiled: "I know, you can go!" ”
Forty soldiers of the Plum Blossom Guard sat in the back of several carriages, everyone got into the carriage, Wu Jin bowed his hand to the officers, the carriage started, and quickly drove away from the barracks.
On the carriage, the Qiao steward of Qi Ruifu of Donghai County is reporting to Qi Fengwu about the recent situation of Qi Dafu, the situation is not optimistic, due to the accommodation of Su Thorn History, the time for Qi Dafu to pay taxes and silver has been extended for another three days, which makes the two Qi Dafu money houses in Weiyang County can use the deposit bank to deal with the run, and see that this catastrophe can be passed, but the night before yesterday, Qi Dafu in Beishi was suddenly set on fire and burned five guys, the money house was burned down, and the account books were all burned, but fortunately, all the IOUs and 800,000 taels of silver were in the underground treasury, It was not affected by the fire, and now all withdrawals are transferred to Baxianqiao Qianzhuang, which is under great pressure.
"What is the situation of Donglai and Baifu two money banks?" Qi Fengwu asked.
"The two of them were also affected by the run, but the impact was not great, but the strange thing is that there was also a sudden run on the two this morning, which was huge and shocking."
Qi Fengwu said coldly: "This is the run tide of Jiangning Mansion has spread, I heard that many Jiangning counties have rushed to other counties and counties overnight to withdraw money, the news will naturally spread, it is estimated that Pingjiang County started last night." ”
Wu Jin, who was sitting on the side, suddenly asked, "How is the Jin Fu Ji Money Village in the Eight Immortal Bridge?" ”
Chief Steward Qiao smiled bitterly and said: "Jinfu Ji Qian Zhuang is very calm, most of them are Donggong tax silver, not among the household bank transfer this time, and it has almost no small customers, they are all maritime merchants and Weiyang County clans, there is no run, it is very quiet, and Qi Dafu not far away is one water and one fire." ”
Wu Jin glanced at Qi Fengwu, Qi Fengwu seemed to have a heart with him, and actually understood what he meant, so he asked: "Our Qi Dafu has reached a merger contract with Jin Fu Ji, have we already started it?" ”
"Miss Hui, the paperwork is ready, because of the sudden run, so this matter will be put aside for the time being, and I will get through this hurdle."
Wu Jin shook his head and said: "So you don't know how to do things, since Qi Dafu in Beishi was burned down, then it is just right to transfer all the personnel to Jin Fu Ji, Jin Fu Ji is also in the Eight Immortals Bridge, you can completely share Qi Dafu's worries, why don't you make good use of it?" ”
Qiao was overjoyed, in fact, they had already thought of it, but before the merger under the county government office, they were embarrassed to speak, since King Heiliang spoke, it was the best.
He hurriedly saluted, "Then the subordinate will ride his horse and go first, and deal with this matter immediately." ”
Wu Jin saw that he was in a hurry, it was estimated that the pressure of Qi Dafu of the Eight Immortal Bridge was too great, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out a silver medal and handed it to him, "You go to Huangfu Gui, he recognizes this silver medal." ”
