Chapter 845: Bai Dangui from Luzon
"Lord Qiyu, after five days of sleepless investigation, a total of 17 evil slaves of the Xu family were arrested, and there were more than 300 thugs, after the inventory, the Xu family has more than 80,000 acres of land in Changzhou Mansion, and Suzhou Mansion is estimated to be more than 300,000 mu, as for Songjiang Mansion, there are countless of them!"
Wu Shilai said in a frustrated voice, without hesitation at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info or how could Tang Yi like to use this kind of person, they know the roots, and they bite back, only to get into the bone, and replace them with outsiders, in such a short time, even the Xu family can't figure out the details.
According to Wu Shilai's introduction, the Xu family's land is roughly divided into two parts, the core of course is directly controlled by the Xu family, mainly in Songjiang and Suzhou, about 200,000 acres of farmland, 80,000 acres of mulberry fields, in addition, it is the Xu family's relatives, friends, protΓ©gΓ©s, and evil slaves, or sacrifices, or under the banner of the Xu family, with the help of the Xu family's power, the total number is between 400,000 mu and 600,000 mu.
How much, I'm afraid that the Xu family may not know.
Converted into the market price, it will cost more than 20 million taels of silver, just one acre of land, it is worth the two years of income of the Ming Dynasty, rich and worthy of the country!
"Investigate, investigate to the end." Tang Yi sneered and said: "Didn't Old Madam Xu tell Elder Xu Ge that only the noble Dexin remained, and their Xu family had the ability to reach the sky, and in twenty or thirty years, the land property had swelled by more than a thousand times?" I'm afraid that the three-foot naughty boy won't believe it. Wu Governor's Mansion, you just need to investigate, this official will give you backing, you can rest assured, the upright people in the court have already written to impeach, the Ming Dynasty is not surnamed Xu, the first assistant of the cabinet, and there is no way to cover the sky with one hand! β
Wu Shilai bit his lip, he and the Xu family had already torn their faces, and only by fighting could they survive.
"Lord Tang, I hope you don't break your word!"
Left a sentence, Wu Shilai turned around and left, he went directly to the prison, tied all the evil slaves who came out of the Xu family to the cross, and placed eighteen kinds of torture instruments, and punished them one by one.
The screams came and went, and the good people, not long after a while, were blurred with flesh and blood, without the appearance of a human being, their eyes were dark red, the air was filled with blood, and the roar of desolation and despair filled their ears.
The strange thing is that Wu Shilai not only felt disgusted, but also had a trace of joy, which was very weird.
He thought that when he was a child reading history books, he once saw a type of person called a cool official! They take pleasure in torturing people, and perhaps they have the potential to be cool officials.
Wu Shilai seems to be possessed by countless predecessors, what Zhang Tang, Yi Zong, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, they gave Wu Shilai infinite courage.
After more than a day of torture, some people finally couldn't bear it anymore and confessed one after another.
They confessed to all the evil things they had done over the years, and some even put the blame on the two sons of the Xu family, saying that they were also acting on orders, and that the master asked them to do it, and they didn't dare to disobey.
"Don't worry, you can't run, and your master will also be finished!"
Wu Shilai took a sip of thick phlegm, and immediately asked the subordinates to go to the four mansions of Songsu Changzhen and posted an official notice, and anyone who was encroached upon by the Xu family could go to the yamen to complain, regardless of the length of time, and the minister of the Qin mission would make the decision for them.
Songjiang, Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, the people of these four prefectures have been poisoned by the Xu family, not only lost their land, but also some people lost their lives, forced to sell their sons and daughters, and became beggars, finally someone has made their decisions to avenge them, and it is time to take revenge!
For a time, thousands of people begging for land gathered outside the courtyard where Wu Shilai stayed, and the people cried loudly with paper-like heads on their heads, and the sound shook the sky.
When Wu Shilai saw so many personnel, his heart tightened, and four words came out: full of evil!
The Xu family has gone so far, it's time to settle accounts with them.
What is the friendship between master and apprentice, compared to the anger of the people, it is not worth a penny!
Wu Shilai's face turned red, he stood in front of the people, his muscles collapsed with excitement, and he said loudly after a long time: "This official has already found out, the Xu family connived at evil slaves, encroached on the people's fields, and did many evils in the fish and meat township. As an official of the imperial court, the parents of one party, this official risked his life, and he also wanted to give the land back to the big guy! β
"Okay, Lord Qingtian!"
"Yes, he is worthy of being a warrior who impeached Yan Song, Lord Wu is good."
"With Lord Wu, we are all blessed!"
β¦β¦
The shouts of the people made Wu Shilai seem to float to the clouds, so comfortable, so wonderful, it was so useful!
"Let's go!"
Wu Shilai led the people and soldiers, and killed the Xu family.
"Lord Qiyu, do it!" Jin Dan rushed into the study, only to see Tang Yi with his face up, his eyes closed, and his mouth wide open, very weird, I don't know why, suddenly sneezed loudly, which shook Jin Dan's ears.
Seeing Jin Dan coming in, Tang Yi hurriedly beckoned and said with a smile: "Come and taste good things, come from Luzon, refresh your mind, open your mind, it's wonderful." β
As he spoke, Tang Yi picked up Qingyu's snuffbox and poured a little fine powder for Jin Dan, Jin Dan stuffed it into his nose according to Tang Yi's instructions, itched for a while, quickly turned around, and sneezed several times in a row.
There are a lot of things to do these days, and I am so busy that my brain hurts, my head is dizzy, and after a few sneezes, my head is miraculously clear, which is really a good thing!
"My lord, what kind of treasure is this?" Jin Dan asked curiously
"Tamba, there is a better name, Bai Dangui, that is, cigarettes!" Tang Yi said with a smile.
As we all know, tobacco originated in the Americas, the Indians chewed tobacco very early to refresh their minds, after the opening of new shipping routes, Westerners brought tobacco to the world, and a few years ago, there were people who planted tobacco in the southeast.
Wang Yin was one of the first smokers, with thin shredded tobacco, two drops of sesame oil, a little wine, and jasmine before smoking.
That smell, Wang Yin is very intoxicated, the more he smokes his head, the more energetic he becomes, but Tang Yi hates it to death, but Wang Yin's stomach is full of intrigues and tricks, and he can only endure it by pointing to cigarettes as medicine primers.
After Xi Muyun took Luzon this time, he found some new things from the warehouse of the Spanish governor, which was the snuff in Tang Yi's hand.
The fine tobacco is crushed into powder, musk, borneol, ambergris and other precious medicinal materials are added, aged in clay pots for about a year, and put into exquisite snuff bottles.
Smell a little, refresh your mind, relieve wind and cold, eliminate fatigue, clear your eyes, and enjoy comfortably!
Tang Yi chanted with a smile: "Grinding into a pipa and flying with gold dust, the smell is slightly fragrant." The seafarer sold it for a hundred yuan, and the big official was a dagger. β
After reading it, he glanced at Jin Dan, "How are I doing with this poem?" β
Jin Dan hurriedly said: "The adult's literary brilliance is unparalleled in the world, good, it's good!" β
"What a ball!" Tang Yi scolded with a smile: "Let's go back and let Xu Fatzi and Fengzhou bother with their brains, the heavy responsibility of spreading tobacco will fall on them." β
Jin Dan accompanied the smiling face, "My lord, why are you spending so much effort to promote snuff?" β
Tang Yi laughed and said, "Where did the snuff come from?" β
"Luzon!"
"In whose hands is Luzon?"
"Great, sir!" Jin Dan's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands, and shouted: "Oh, look at my brain, I'm really stupid, and the snuff of feelings is a way to make money!" β
It is not only a way of wealth, but also a magic weapon to attract the people.
Tang Yi knew how risky it was to go overseas to fight hard in the early days, and there were not enough benefits, so he didn't want the big guy to leave his homeland willingly.
Seeing the snuff given to him by Xi Muyun, Tang Yi suddenly brightened.
Just planting rice, all year round, at most, you can't go hungry, but growing tobacco is different, it is full of profiteering. Sugar from Dongfan, smoke from Luzon.
It can become two well-known fist products, and as long as there are good things, it can make the traffic line operate in a big way, tap value, use profits, and fund overseas development.
Tang Yi, the first batch of immigrants, dared to pat his chest and promised that as long as he was willing to work, most of them would be able to make a small fortune, and with the first batch of successful people to demonstrate, the next immigrants would be overseas, and the pioneering and enterprising people would be like carp crossing the river.
The scene that Tang Yi has been looking forward to will appear soon!
Thinking of this, Tang Yi trembled.
He originally hated cigarettes very much, but he couldn't help it, in order to make Luzon's cigarettes sell well and immigrants profit, he had to sacrifice himself and set an example.
Of course, good things can't just rely on him, none of those bad friends can escape, just Xu Wei, Tang Yi asked people to send him twenty catties, and he didn't care whether the big fat man would suck it up and hang up.
β¦β¦
Huating Xu family, ancestral ancestral hall.
Xu Kun, Xu Ying, and a large group of relatives of the Xu family, stood in a large area of black pressure, everyone had a calm face, and some clenched their fists, looking desperate.
"Second brother, everyone is bullied to the head, riding the neck, and peeing, I can't bear it anymore!" Xu Ying said loudly, his words were echoed by the children of the Xu family, and they all raised their fists and shouted loudly.
"That's right, Wu Shilai is something, biting the master's dog, shameless, next to him, fight with him!"
Xu Kun was older and more experienced, and sighed: "Wu Shilai is indeed nothing, but don't forget Tang Yi, that kid is the real jackal, tiger and leopard!" He also colluded with the university scholar Gao Gong, and now everywhere in the imperial court, there are people talking about our family's land, and my father's situation is very bad. β
"Second brother, it's because my father's situation is not good that I can't swallow my anger, let's fight back!"
Xu Kun said with a calm face: "Third child, what are you going to do?" β
"That's not easy, Wu Shilai wants to return the fields to their owners, but don't forget, now those fields are cultivated by tenants, and there is no way to live, who can bear it!" Xu Ying smirked, "You won't forget what happened last year, Suzhou made a fuss and beat Qin Cha to death, but as a result, it wasn't to find five scapegoats, and it was easy to pass." Tang Yi doesn't look at the blowing, in the final analysis, he is also a coward! With my father here, he still dares to kill! Let those tenants make trouble, go and rush, I will see what he can do to deal with it! β
The Xu family all showed rampant smiles, and the crows outside the ancestral hall were frightened, quacking and screaming...... (To be continued.) )
