Chapter 679: The Battle of Jiujiang Mansion (Part II)

Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, waited for the pirate group to come, and waited for the right to see the pirate group coming.

The spies he sent came back to report that the pirate syndicate's family members were clearing out the bandits in the area around Nanjing, pacifying the people, and implementing the law of not collecting any taxes for half a year, and their total number should now be no more than 2,000.

When he heard this, he was taken aback, and it was as if he had fallen into an ice kiln.

They've learned how to govern the people!

What's even more terrifying is that they will definitely not leave!

What kind of world is this, even pirates have learned to govern the people.

The spies came back and reported that there were less than 1,000 families in Nanjing, and the rest had gone to the countryside.

Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, thought at that time that if there were righteous people in the city who took the opportunity to start an incident, they would definitely make the pirates anxious!

But then I thought about it, the master set this method of shaving his hair, and he had the intention of taking the opportunity to kill all the bloody people among them, and singled out such people to kill, of course the others did not dare to resist the master, but ah, master, they did not dare to resist me and waited, so they could not be expected to dare to resist the pirates.

The only righteous man can be sent from this side.

He used a lot of money to select 200 soldiers who were familiar with the situation in the city of Nanjing, and who had the courage to sacrifice their lives for our Qing Dynasty, and did not ask them to kill the enemy, but only to set fire to the city of Nanjing, even if they could burn down their small boats on the river, regardless of the size of the boat, as long as it was a ship of the navy, it would cost ten taels of gold! Fifty taels for a big ship!

He saw off these strong men in the barracks and asked them to sail down the river from the Water Gate in batches.

Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, saw them off above the water gate, and he stroked his beard and thought, but if he can delay them going up the river, he can do it.

The master finally sent him an order:

"The grain collected can only be handed over to 30%, and the rest will be used as the capital to defend the city, stick to it and wait for help, and it will arrive soon!"

Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, was holding his breath at that time, I am very tight to defend against the enemy here, and the master still asks me for food!

But the master is also short of grain, and once the Grand Canal south of the Yangtze River is broken, there will inevitably be a shortage of grain north of the Yangtze River.

At this time, he began to get tired of those peasants in Jiujiang City, and he had nothing to do, and he had a lot of food, so he drove them out of the city first!

Prepare to transport food and wait for the master to send help!

But they are a thousand people, even if they are fierce guns and artillery, they have to rely on people to occupy the city.

But damn it, the Zheng family's rebellious group was able to openly join the pirates!

The Zheng family is rebellious and strong at sea, and this time it's terrible -

When he sent people out of the city to "help" the peasants into the city, the situation changed.

When Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi, stood on the water gate to see off his righteous soldiers, he didn't see that three pigeons were released in the backyard of a grocery store behind him!

This grocery store sells all kinds of fried goods, and the owner of the fried goods store is a fat man, who came here two years ago to do business, and only brought one guy with him at that time.

Among his fried goods, hazelnuts, chestnuts, and broad beans are popular goods, and the sunflower melon seeds and peanuts are good items, which are more expensive, but easy to sell.

Of course, the best thing to sell is to pop corn, whenever the corn is shipped, you have to burst a few pots first, send it to the big households, and the rest will start to sell.

The small corn kernels turned and turned in an iron stove, and after a while, I could only hear the shouts of "It's going to be out of the pot, be careful", and with a bang, a pot of corn flowers that became big came out of the oven and collapsed into a cloth bag with a bamboo basket.

For a while, the fragrance was tangy.

Its practical rice is also made, but it is not as big as corn.

He was the first in Jiujiang Mansion to do this business, and it was popular from the beginning.

Later, someone secretly learned, but he didn't expect that the boss of the fried goods had a good heart and took the initiative to teach others, and he was not afraid of teaching the apprentice to starve to death of the master.

He often smiled and said, "The world is very big, where is there only this small place." ”

He is very broad-minded, and the dignified Jiujiang Mansion is a small place in his eyes.

A broad-minded man is good at business, and he now has six of his guys.

He also has many friends, some business people, who have nothing to do, and they all like to come to his cottage to sit, drink some tea, and eat a plate of melon seeds, and their mouths are full of the aroma of vegetable oil.

Why don't you drink some beer and eat some peanuts in the evening.

In fact, it is mainly to chat, because friends in business know that there are contacts, and people also bring gifts.

At first, those sunflower melon seeds, peanuts, and popcorn were rare, and then later, they were nothing, but they were more expensive.

When the lockdown began, everyone was a little annoyed, and they were most afraid of doing business.

The doors are closed, who do business with!

The fat boss said: "Lord Cai is also waiting for me, if that pirate rushes into the city, kills people and sets fires, and robs the family's property, I will be all done!" ”

A thin young man said: "I said fat boss, you don't know this, but I have been to the place of the Hantang Group, and the last batch of corn was still the goods I went to buy secretly - there are all tall cement houses, as if cement is not sold by catties!" I heard that it's full of steel inside!! Everyone has money, and it seems that there are endless horse tickets in that wallet! ――Horse tickets, how many of them have you seen in the largest denomination? ”

The fat boss honestly said, "Fifty-"

The thin young man smug himself and said, "Don't you know? A thousand! They say it's equal to five taels of silver, but if you can't change it, they have to fold it! ”

"So much?!" The fat boss's eyes seem to be round.

The thin young man was even more proud, he took out a deerskin purse, pulled out the largest ticket, and slapped it on the table, and everyone saw a golden horse's head, surrounded by a circle of stars, and with capital numbers and the word 1000.

"This ticket is weird, if you look at the sun, you can see that there is a horse's head in the paper! Five hundred, too! Damn--this is what the people of the Hantang Group like to say--how much more can I make by doing this kind of business a few more times?! It's a pity that I won't be allowed to go out of the city, and I can't get in! ”

A white-bearded man said: "It's all bad for the Han and Tang groups, if they don't invade my Qing Dynasty, where can they not do business?" - But I don't believe that they robbed other people's money.

I have relatives who have a big business in Hangzhou, and a few days ago I even said through a letter that the business is even bigger -- you know, the family members of Lord Cai of the Governor Mansion have already been sent to the north! ”

"Ah, which one doesn't know? Just don't talk about it! The thin young man rushed to say, "I also know that Lord Cai of the Governor sent a righteous man to destroy the warships of the Han and Tang groups, and he also went to Beishuimen two days ago to make a personal trip!" Haha, my friend secretly said that he was just greedy for his silver taels, and everyone ran away halfway! The 200,000 army was ambushed, one couldn't escape, and 200 people ran to die, are others stupid?! ”

The fat boss couldn't speak, and he felt that he might have made the situation serious in the secret letter!

The fat boss Coco Baba said: "I-I-I heard that they have all drunk chicken blood wine, and they are the most ruthless leader of the big brother in Jiujiang Mansion, he is the most loyal to my Qing Dynasty, he is the first to shave his hair in Jiujiang Mansion, and he has cut his wrists and swore an oath, this is what you told me." ”

The thin young man shook his head and said, "Ah, you only know one thing but you don't know the other, you have only been here for two years, how do you know, the knife of the leading brother is indeed ruthless, but it is only against people who are weaker than him, if you change to a strong one-"

The skinny young man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "He's going to cut himself with a knife, and my brother said, "Guess what the big brother in the lead said to them secretly?" Be opportunistic—"

A middle-aged man with a gloomy face said with a crying voice: "It's over, it's over, the world has just settled down, and it's going to be chaotic again, but how do you want me to live!" Business is just picking up—"

The thin young man took out his cigarette, and after distributing it magnificently, he pouted and said:

"Damn, you make more money than me, and you have a wider path than me, but you can't see through it!

Was there a business a thousand years ago? Is there a business in a thousand years? When I came to you, I thought that the Hantang Group had called, and you would have no business?

Without me, this person would not be able to live? There's no business to do?

Idiot, stingy! ”

The gloomy-looking middle-aged man was not angry, everyone had drunk tea many times in the fat boss's room, and it was too light and heavy, and it was not taken seriously.

The middle-aged man with a gloomy face smoked the cigarette he gave him and stopped talking.

At this time, a cold voice sounded at the door:

"Boy, what are you talking about here again? When the officials of the Qing Dynasty did not exist?! ”

You don't need to look up to know that the fat boss laughed secretly in his heart, this product is still late.

The thin young man immediately put away the look of contempt for the middle-aged man just now, and began to smile at the cold-looking middle-aged man who had just come in, and his face seemed to bloom with a flower.

"Ha, ha, Brother He is here, I said that eating melon seeds and peanuts is not fragrant! Hurry up, please take a seat. ”

Brother He is also a local old man, and he has always worked in the government office.

At the beginning, the fat boss's popping corn technology startled him.

It doesn't matter what this corn is, but it's true that it can fill its stomach, and this fat boss can turn a small grain into a few times bigger, which is too important.

Lord Cai Shiying, the Governor of the Governor's Mansion, likes to transport grain to the north the most, but what he is most worried about is this transportation, if there is a way to transport a small amount of grain over, but it will become several times when it reaches that side, what a great credit it is.

If he is happy, he will not be promoted in the yamen of Jiujiang Mansion, and it will be good to be sent out to be a master.

So, he found an opportunity to pray.

Lord Cai Shiying, the governor of the Governor's Mansion, was really pleasantly surprised, and he didn't even take off his official uniform, so he hurriedly came over to take a look.

Along the way, he also said that if it is true, I will make you a master.

This can make Brother He very happy.

After watching the whole process of processing popcorn, Lord Cai Shiying of the Governor Mansion was overjoyed at that time, and he grabbed it and ate it regardless of decency.

At that time, those who wanted to buy it were already scared away, who would dare to watch?

The biggest official in Jiujiang Mansion is here.

Lord Cai Shiying of the Patrol Mansion understood as soon as he ate it, this is false! Originally, it was small, it was a real object, but now it is big, it is fried, and it is not counted, and it melts in the mouth.

However, such loyalty can't be hit, he still patted Brother He on the shoulder and said: "Although it doesn't apply, but your loyalty can be learned, and there are many things to report!" ”

At that time, Brother He's body was about to be crispy.

But the left class is not promoted, and the right class is not promoted, but some scholars are used!

It's so annoying - I'm loyal to you, but you're not good to me -

He didn't have anything to do, so he came to the fat boss to chat.

So, in fact, everyone is familiar with it, he is just scaring the skinny young man, and he doesn't want him to think how smart he is.

Besides, don't look at him always showing off his money, in fact, he is too oily and watery, Brother He has already counted it, and he has no chewing.

The skinny young man quickly took out his cigarette and handed it over with both hands.

Brother He said disdainfully: "You always say something depressing - just use the white sand smoke against me?!" You were caught in the government office, tied up in the street, and then beaten up fat, see if you are still cheap? ! ”

The skinny young man's hands froze, embarrassed.

At this time, the gloomy-looking middle-aged man took out a cigarette, handed it with both hands, and said with a smile: "Brother He, he is a young man, he has never been able to speak, and he is not familiar with him." ”

"Yo, Hongta Mountain! Good smoke, good smoke, hard to buy. ”

"Isn't this for you, tell me Brother He, what's going on recently?"

Brother He picked up a cigarette, sighed and said: "Everyone is their own people, I'm just joking, it's not easy now, one day is a day, but the Lord Inspector is very angry now, let go of those hostages, and then want to catch them back, it's not easy, run out!" He's going to get his mind to the women—waiting for the women of the city to guard the walls with the soldiers, and no one knows what he thinks, but luckily, two days after they sent the family away, I sent them away—"

Oh! This little house almost blew up!

The gloomy-looking middle-aged man stood up and was about to run out, he had three daughters, a wife and a concubine!

Brother He said: "It's late, the city gate has just been sealed again, and my brother has no chance to go out." ”

Everyone's face is bitter.

No one noticed that the fat boss was secretly gritting his teeth.
