Chapter 736: Supporting the Waist (I)
In this plunder, the officials and officials suffered heavy casualties, and although the officials did not die, they could not work without the officials and servants. The functions of the yamen have been paralyzed for the time being, but the work of dealing with the aftermath cannot continue to wait. Plagues are already a breeding ground in the summer, but now the city is littered with dead bodies, and if a plague arises from it, the damage caused is far worse than that of thieves looting the city.
The work of transporting the corpses has been going on since the thieves left the city, and there are not so many coffins, so they can only use door panels or reed mats. Including the monks and nuns near Ningbo, they were also invited by the government to enter the city and preside over the water and land dojo to surpass the souls.
The effect of Liu Jin using his life to boost the morale of the three armies is still not visible, but the government guards did not talk about remuneration this time, and took the initiative to participate in the collection of corpses, even if it was just to respond to the story, it was somewhat of an improvement. But they were already few in number, and most of them were killed, and they were willing to work, but they were also short of manpower. The people who really take on the main work here are still Yang Kee's people.
They first beat the pirates, and then chased after them overnight, and at dawn they came back with hundreds of heads on the cart and nearly a hundred captives. Not to mention how many real and how many fake ones are in it, just looking at these heads can lift people's hearts and boost morale. The wounded city desperately needs a victory to mend the wounds, and these heads, as well as those captives, have become the best targets for everyone to vent.
Some merchants have already applied to the yamen through their connections, and they are willing to use money to buy the flesh of the captives, and as long as they let themselves cut it with their own hands, then they are willing to pay double. Some of the sufferers came up with all kinds of strange tortures and demanded that the government apply them to these captives, and that they would be willing to pay them as long as they were allowed to watch from the sidelines.
Even some family heads simply handed the words to Yang Chengzu, buying the internal organs of ten captives for their relatives to pay tribute to the souls of their relatives in the sky, but the requirement was to dig them out alive. As long as he does this, he is willing to join Yang Ji's name.
"People's hearts are available, and sure enough, people's hearts are available." Seeing these news, Yang Chengzu showed a satisfied smile on his face, people in this era are really in a relatively normal spirit. All you think about is blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and to deal with a murderous enemy, you must use more murderous means. And there are no idiots, who come up with stupid words that love the enemy and can't treat killing with killing.
In addition to killing people, Yang Ji is now an indispensable and important force in disaster relief in the city, from transporting corpses to treating the wounded, and even the resettlement of refugees, none of these jobs have left Yang Ji. Some people have become nothing in yesterday's ransacking, so their survival is a problem, Yang Ji has adopted the policy of recruiting all these groups first, and then assigning specific practices according to their own circumstances in the future, and the law and order in Ningbo City has also been temporarily stabilized because of this policy, and it has not deteriorated.
At present, the entire people of Ningbo are on fire, and whoever dares to steal or rob things at this time, even without the use of officials, will beat him to death. As long as the group of people who can't eat are given a way to live, few people will come out to do evil.
The large and small medical centers in the city are already overcrowded, and the wounded even have to line up on the streets, and there is a great shortage of medicines and langzhong. However, someone from Yang Ji's side has already come out to assure everyone that Nanjing has sent several boatloads of medicines and sent a group of imperial doctors to ensure that they can serve everyone. For a time, almost all corners of Ningbo City could find the shadow of Yang Ji.
Ryan's home was swept by thieves once, leaving behind almost all of the slaves of both sexes. The house was smashed and dilapidated, and the family's belongings were almost looted. But no matter what, the funeral always has to be done, and Ryan is one of the biggest people responsible for this incident, and most of them are to be held accountable. But now that he is dead, not only is he not responsible but meritorious, Yang Chengzu wrote a memora for him, as a great hero who is loyal to the monarch and protects the people, and he will build a martyr's shrine in the city and put him in.
If you want to make him a hero, the funeral will not be too shabby, and when he arrived at the mansion gate, several survivors of the Chamber of Commerce came to express their condolences, and Xue Niangzi led a few concubines to kneel there and kowtow to the guests. Seeing that several women were all sobbing in front of the brazier, their eyes were red and swollen from crying, and some people were quite embarrassed in their hearts: how could a good woman who was like a flower and jade fall in love with a eunuch and cry like this?
Yang Chengzu has a special identity, as soon as he came, he basically represented the official attitude, several businessmen all came to pay respects, and the Xue family, as a surviving person, naturally came to kowtow. Yang Chengzu flashed to the side, "Xue Niangzi, you don't have to be polite." Lai Gonggong sacrificed his life for the country, and the court must have a watch, maybe the lady can still be enthroned. Don't be too upset, take care of your body. ”
Everyone knows that Yang Chengzu is Ryan's backer, he said a few words, and then he has to talk about some secret and important things, and maybe there will be some money to be handed over. Several businessmen didn't dare to listen, so they saw the two of them enter the backyard one after the other, thinking in their hearts: Most of the Xue Niangzi and wives are expensive by their husbands, and maybe the Xue family will be developed now. But now that the Xue family doesn't even have a head of family, it's really developed, who will be at the helm?
"I'm sorry, the situation at that time was too chaotic, and it became between elbows and armpits, and my brother's affairs were ......"
"Benefactor, how can I blame you for this, it's my brother's life...... Benefactor, I heard that you fought with the Japanese and I don't know if you were injured, let the concubine take a look......"
As soon as they entered the study, the two hugged each other, stretched their hands into their filial piety clothes, teasing the surviving people, and made Yang Chengzu's heart feel an inexplicable pleasure. Xue Niangzi writhed with a flushed face, knowing that the fate of the two would not last too long, but she wanted to seize all the time to please this man.
After a period of intimacy, Yang Chengzu said: "Your Xue family is not in charge now, I want to bring you out to be a family member, and in the future, you will be the general manager of Yang Ji's business in Ningbo and even in Zhejiang." Would you rather or not? ”
"Me? Benefactor, do you mean that the concubine is in charge? How does this work? I...... I'm a woman, how can I bear such a burden? ”
The girl who marries out of the door and spills the water out of the door, even if the Xue family is not a scholarly family, but after all, there is this traditional concept. Let a girl who marries out come back to take charge, and the family will not be easy, Yang Ji's entire business in Ningbo and even in Zhejiang, such a big plate, he believes himself?
Xue's heart was pounding, and his body was weak, and he thought it was in a dream several times.
"Why can't you be in charge? The official praises you as the master, and you are the master. In the past, you helped Ryan take care of his business, and I asked some people before I came, you are very good at business, not only by relying on Ryan's door, but because you are really capable. In fact, compared to it, your eldest brother is a little worse than your ability, and after you came out of the cabinet in the past few years, you still helped the family. A powerful businesswoman like you, isn't it natural for me to take care of Yang Ji? What, because I'm going to leave sooner or later, so I'm not willing to do it? If you don't want to do it, I'm not reluctant. ”
"No, I do, my whole person is the benefactor's, and I will do whatever the benefactor asks me to do." Xue Shi was afraid that he would be annoyed, so he took the man's hand and put it tightly on his chest, "If the benefactor wants, the concubine can also serve you now." I must look at these shops for the benefactor, do a good job, and use all my skills to help the benefactor make money. ”
Feeling the man's hand begin to move, her face flushed slightly, and her breathing became a little heavier, "Benefactor...... Someone came to the house, and I was asked to talk about it, and I wanted to ...... I want to choose a girl from the family to marry you as a child. Now that there is no head of the family, it is all up to you to support the portal. I...... I will give you all the information of the ladies in the family, who you like, you choose. ”
"I've already picked the ones I like, so I don't want the others." Yang Chengzu held her tightly in his arms, and in this big shopkeeper who will look at business for himself in the future, he must always have the envelopment and Huairou, and now he does not resist this kind of Huairou means.
If you really marry a daughter of the Xue family, the identity of Xue Niangzi is embarrassing, and she will have to eat it sooner or later. What's more, the Xue family sent basically thirteen or fourteen "Miaoling" beauties, and he didn't have any appetite at all. However, when he came over this time, he really wanted to be a matchmaker and marry the Xue family, but it was not himself who married his wife, but Wu Zhuangyuan Xu Tai.
