Chapter 57 Stone Wharf Pick-up
(New books for recommendation, collection!) The support of my friends is my biggest motivation! Please, please, and thank you very much! )
At the order of the Governor of Huai'an Prefecture and the political envoy Lord Chu, a large-scale anti-bandit operation was to be carried out in Huai'an Prefecture. Zhang Renjie was the first to respond, and he just took the team out of the city under the pretext of taking the team. The order of the political envoy Lord Chu, the Qian Governor's Mansion is responsible for the overall arrangement, and the following teams are responsible for the specific implementation. Zhang Renjie took the initiative to pick down the nest of bandits of the old hammer head in Funing, and led the troops alone against this group, as for the soldiers and horses of the local garrison yamen in Funing, although they also participated in the elimination of the old hammerhead, but it is really hard to say what effect it can have, Zhang Renjie is very convinced that there are people who have secretly communicated with the old hammer head of the bandits.
The distance from Andong County to Funing County is farther than the distance to Qinghe County, a full 100 miles. A few days in advance, Zhang Renjie led the team out of the city with great fanfare, and at the request of the county order, he still left a team of eight squads to protect the county seat, so as to prevent the 'bandits' from making trouble again last time.
After the team left Anton, Zhang Renjie left the team with the special combat team and the guard squad in the evening, and the command of the team was temporarily handed over to Dong Biao, with Zhang Youfa assisting. According to Zhang Renjie, he has been teaching Dong Biao and Zhang Youfa for more than half a year, and he has also trained for such a long time, leading a team of more than 300, and it is not a problem for the two to discuss. In a few days, Zhang Renjie will finish the things scheduled in Qingjiangpu and rush back non-stop.
The bandits in northern Jiangsu have a characteristic that they can hide and hide, even if they are discovered, they can run fast. Therefore, to deal with the old hammerhead, it is necessary to spread all the reconnaissance troops on the spot, pretending to be ordinary people to find out the news. The soldiers of the reconnaissance squad had already been sent out by Zhang Renjie in advance five days ago, and they could find out some news to some extent. The team led by Dong Biao is dedicated to suppressing bandits, and they can achieve as much results as they want, and they don't force it. Although Dong Biao and Zhang Youfa didn't quite understand the meaning of this order. But that's just it.
Zhang Renjie's main target was not the old hammerhead, and the team went to clean up the old hammerhead, so he took the special combat team and Zhang Daniu, who received an order to stand by in plainclothes in Qinghe County.
"Big brother, have you seen the person who restocked? Where did it come from? "In the Tang family's mansion, several principals of the Tang family are discussing the recent receipt of goods.
Tang Shaode shook his head: "I didn't see the main master, but I just saw a person in charge." The man spoke with a Suzhou accent, and it was difficult to say where it was. This Tang Shaode is nearly fifty years old, and there are no wrinkles on his face, but his thin face is inverted eight-character eyebrows, giving people a fierce feeling.
"What about the goods?" Tang Shaode's chubby second brother Tang Shaojing then asked, Tang Shaojing looked rich, with thick eyebrows and a mustache.
"The goods are good, there are a lot of Indian soils and clouds, and that's just samples. It's just that the amount of this batch of goods is really not small, and you have to take some risks to eat it in one bite. ”
"Big brother, what are you afraid of, these people have obviously just arrived in our Huai'an Mansion and want to open the market, the price is so low, we will really suffer if we don't eat it! In various counties of Huai'an Prefecture, we have a lot of competitors, and the other party can find us directly, which is also because of our brand. If we miss it, others will eat this batch of goods, and then use this batch of goods to bet on us, and we will be passive! Tang Shaoren also followed.
"It's just that I always feel that the other party is not coming from the right way, and there are evil deeds in this matter. Think about it, if you want to go to Huai'an Mansion to open the market, you refuse to report the number. The price is thirty percent lower than the market price, even if this thing is their own production, the profit is not much, what are they trying to do? Everyone has a picture, don't tell me that they have no desires and no desires! Tang Shaode felt that it was not very safe, but this was a business of 200,000 taels of silver, which was not a small amount. If this is really done, I can get fifty percent of the profit from it, but if there is a ghost in it, I am afraid that I will lose a fortune.
Tang Yuan, the eldest son of the Tang family, listened for a while and also expressed his opinion: "Dad, I think what the second and third uncles said makes sense, we urgently need the goods in the hands of this group of people, and it will be of great benefit to us to eat this batch of goods." If you're worried about this group of people playing tricks, hehe, this Qingjiangpu is our land, and if you bring more people to deal with it, it will be over. I don't believe it, there are still people on this dock who dare to get along with our Tang family? ”
"What do you know, I'm worried, is it possible that this group of people is the same group of people who hijacked the merchant ship to Andong more than half a month ago!"
"Yo! Then they're bandits! Several people in the room were in good spirits, Tang Yuan blurted out.
Tang Shaode shook his head: "Not necessarily." This batch of goods is worth 200,000 taels, and the goods we were robbed last time added up to less than 40,000 taels, which is far from it! ”
"Last time, the Xia family's convoy was also robbed, and more than 20 days ago, the Jin family in Anton City was also robbed, no, no, even if the three of us were robbed, it would only be 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver, and it would be a cut of the boss from 200,000, it wouldn't be Anton's bandits!" Tang Shaoren just wanted to say that it was very possible, but then after thinking about it, the number was not right, so he changed his words.
"I don't think this group of people is like bandits, are there bandits swaggering around the city? Dad, if you don't worry, leave the matter of receiving the goods to me this time, and I promise that it will be done properly for you! Tang Yuan patted his chest and reassured.
"I'll go in person, second, you go with me to inspect the goods. As for the boss, you will lead people around the dock to respond, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, in case this group of people has bad intentions, you can also let them taste the power of our Tang family! ”
"Come on, dad, you see, our gunners don't eat dry food, I'll bring the team over and ambush around the warehouse first, as long as they dare to move, I'll finish them off. Otherwise, Dad, let's just eat them and save trouble. Tang Yuan counted down his eyebrows and said with a sneer.
Tang Shaode looked unhappy: "Fart, what we are doing is business, this is likely to be a good source of goods, in the future, we can buy some goods from them at a low price to reduce the purchase volume of foreign devils." When it comes to trading, it is the stupidest business to do, how many times have I told you, to make money in harmony, why don't you listen! I know all day long that I know that I am fighting and killing, and doing business is done by fighting and killing? ”
"Yes, Dad, I was wrong!" Tang Yuan said with a nonchalant expression. In his opinion, their family's biggest business is the sale of the big "Smoke" hall, and the others are not as good as this one, and the sale of this big "Smoke" originally relied on force, and there is nothing wrong with fighting and killing!
"Alright, let's take someone and get ready to go! The third child stayed at home, and the second child instructed to ask someone to prepare the carriage and horses! ”
"Battalion commander, this stone wharf is much bigger than the wharf in our wharf town! Look over there, it's all shops! When I used to look for work here, I thought, if I can buy a house here, it will be beautiful! Zhang Renjie put on his own makeup and painted it with Zhang Qishi and others around him, and now he has become a man with a sallow face of about thirty-five or sixteen, and several other team members are also five or six years older than usual, but Zhang Renjie is a little different from others in that there is a long centipede-like scar on his face.
"It's called the boss, and you can't change it?" Zhang Renjie said angrily.
"Boss, boss, I was wrong!"
"Look at you! No matter how good this place is, it is a dock, if you really want to stay, you can stay after this is done, and I will give you money to set up a shop on the east side! Zhang Renjie pointed to a row of shops in the east in the distance and said.
"Just kidding, just kidding, how could I be willing to leave my brethren! Battalion commander, you said, the people of the Tang family should have arrived at this time, and the people of the Xia family are estimated to be about the same! ”
"Don't worry, there are a lot of people from the three sects and nine streams here, and the people from the Tang family and the Xia family must be investigating around to make sure that there is no problem, and they will come over."
"The rest of our brothers are scattered for miles, and they won't come here until the time comes, and this warehouse is so big, what can they find?" Along the river, the stone wharf is basically a warehouse connected to a warehouse, and the location of the water ferry on the east side of the wharf is a group of shops, restaurants, brothels and so on. In contrast, during the day, the warehouse side is a little more lively, but at night, the shop side is in full swing.
"Boss, here!"
