Chapter 225 does something
Now Wu Shigong is very interested in all ways to make money. So Wu Shigong immediately asked with glowing eyes, "Tell me about it?" ”
"Uncle, didn't you send a Qinglou to Mrs. Ling's mother this time. The little one thought, in this green building, we have to leave some part. Moreover, when my uncle was in the capital, the gambling house was also very good. Now if we open some gambling houses or something, we are familiar with it. ”
"The main thing is that this thing comes in really fast. If you nod your head, uncle, if you want manpower, we will have ready-made ones in the Yamakawa Division, and if you want money, our Yamakawa Division can also squeeze out some. The small heart is not black, and when the time comes, it will only be as long as the account is divided into five or five, and the excess will belong to your uncle. ”
Wu Shigong brought Manling and her old bustard back to Runing Mansion this time, and after taking Manling into the house, he did not treat the old bustard badly, and gave the old bustard a sum of silver as the ransom fee for Manling.
But the old bustard didn't know what to think, maybe he needed Wu Shigong's protection. She took the silver, plus the money she asked someone to sell her in the Qinglou in Guide Mansion, bought a small building and a few girls in Runing Mansion, and resumed her old business in Runing Mansion. And in this process, Wu Shigong also asked Xue Zhinong to go to the bustard to help out.
Not to mention, since the old bustard was able to bring out the Oiran of the manling in the past, she must also be a professional in the Qinglou industry, so her newly opened Qinglou business is also very prosperous. And all this is in Xue Zhinong's eyes, so he has the current idea.
But as soon as Wu Shigong heard that Xue Zhinong had this idea, he immediately shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is absolutely impossible. You must know that my uncle is now laying a foundation, mainly to do two things: grasping force and grasping people's hearts. ”
"So everything I do now must be above board, and that kind of business that is out of the way must not be touched. Otherwise, how could those literati and gentry be willing to walk with us? ”
"Although you Shanchuan Division has more opportunities to deal with the three sects and nine streams, they are all my subordinates, if you participate in this kind of business, if you know about it, the impact on our foundation will be far greater than the silver you get."
"But uncle, if you don't like it, until now, you don't have any literati to take refuge in! Besides, what is the use of the literati in the troubled times, when the time comes, it will not rely on the swords and guns in the hands of our warriors! Are you thinking too much about what you're doing now? Hearing that his idea was vetoed by Wu Shigong, Xue Zhinong was also a little anxious, so what he said was also a little rushed.
"Just because it's not effective now doesn't mean it won't work in the future. Needless to say, this question is completely non-negotiable. However, you can also use some workarounds to occupy those who are doing business, which is absolutely not possible, and you can charge them some protection money that depends on us, which is still negotiable. ”
"Remember, don't charge too much for those protection fees, just mean it. The main purpose is that you, the Yamakawa Division, will arrange the manpower to those places. There are many people in the rivers and lakes of the three mountains and five mountains, and the information is also well-informed. It is very useful for you Shanchuan Division to find out the news. ”
Cao Wenzhao slapped the dust on his armor hard, and his throat felt a little dry. From the black land of Liaodong to Shaanxi, which is all yellow, Cao Wenzhao always feels a little unaccustomed.
So when he patted his armor and saw the situation of his soldiers, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. So he commanded his soldiers, "Go and gather up all those little rabbits, is this like a war?" If the rioters come back and forth, we won't be able to eat and go around. “
Just now, Cao Wenzhao led the more than 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry he brought from Liaodong to catch up with a group of tens of thousands of Shaanxi rebels. But as soon as they saw Cao Wenzhao's banner, those chaotic people scattered and fled, but how can people run faster than horses? Cao Wenzhao did not hesitate to take the soldiers to slash and kill.
However, those rebellious people were already very experienced in dealing with Cao Wenzhao's officials and soldiers, and they immediately left behind a large number of gold, silver, cloth, silk and women that were snatched from the big households. This action immediately took effect, so that Cao Wenzhao's soldiers immediately disorganized the formation, and those soldiers snatched these gold and silver cloths and women one after another, so most of the rebellious people also fled.
However, Cao Wenzhao's order did not receive a response from his own soldiers. Cao Wenzhao's personal captain was his own brother, and he said to Cao Wenzhao with a hippie smile: "The brothers have been working hard for so long in Shaanxi, where birds don't, and it's time for the brothers to make some money." Later, the younger ones will also take care of it below, third brother, how can you not miss this part. ”
"How many times have I said it, don't call me third brother, call me General Cao or Master Cao." Cao Wenzhao glared at the captain of the pro-soldiers, "It's all a little promising, okay?" I just know how to pick up some rags and let those bandit leaders escape every time. If it goes on like this, let's go back to our hometown in Liaodong in the Year of the Monkey! I don't want to prevent the brethren from getting rich, but wouldn't it be better to cut off the heads of the rebels in exchange for some silver? ”
"Pull it, third brother!" The captain of the pro-soldier and Cao Wenzhao were not used to it, and they didn't take Cao Wenzhao's order to him to call Cao Wenzhao to heart. However, Cao Wenzhao has always taken the lead when he was fighting, and he also loves his soldiers, so these soldiers have always regarded Cao Wenzhao as a big brother and are willing to work hard for Cao Wenzhao.
"Don't mention the bounties. We've chopped off so many heads, but until now, we haven't smelled the smell of silver a few times. We used to be stupid, we only knew how to kill the rebels, and we didn't know how to rob money. Third brother, don't you know, the last time I drank with the captain of Naga Maniac (He Renlong), I didn't know that Naga Maniac had made a fortune! They told the small ones to wait for the rebels to rob the big ones, and when the rebels robbed them, they drove the rebels into a mess, and when the rebels threw down their wealth, they cut off a few heads and confessed, and then waited for the rebels to rob the big households. They told the little ones that this is called a long stream. ”
"You don't talk nonsense." Cao Wenzhao immediately stopped the frothing from the mouth of the captain of the pro-soldiers, "Okay! All right! Give you bunnies another hour. You all go down to Lao Tzu, this army is so chaotic, and it doesn't look like it, you go and put it away, and you have to put some spies on the periphery. ”
Seeing that Cao Wenzhao agreed, those pro-soldiers all smiled and agreed, and then they all rode horses and scattered to gather the team.
After the soldiers dispersed, Cao Wenzhao thought to himself: "This big husband is a big man, that is, he will be promoted and make a fortune." Lao Tzu is already a chief soldier, and he can't be promoted to this official position, so it's good to have a way to get rich. Besides, the brethren shed blood and sweat with them, and they made a little money on the battlefield, and they were able to open their eyes and close their eyes. ”
At that time, Cao Wenzhao brought 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry to Shaanxi, and in the early stage of the peasant rebellion in Shaanxi, he exterminated many rebels. What is somewhat ridiculous is that the reason why they have made such great feats is that on the one hand, the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Iron Cavalry is really strong, and on the other hand, it is because of the language barrier between them, the generals of Liaodong and the rebellious people of Shaanxi.
Because those Shaanxi rebels all spoke the Shaanxi dialect, when the Shaanxi rebels were surrounded by Cao Wenzhao's army, when they asked Cao Wenzhao's Guanning Iron Cavalry to buy a way to escape with money, Cao Wenzhao's Guanning Iron Cavalry continued to cut and kill because they couldn't understand it, so they caused huge casualties to the rebels. As a local military general in Shaanxi, He Renlong does not have this problem. This makes people really sigh: to promote Mandarin!
And after suppressing the bandits for such a long time, Cao Wenzhao's Guanning Iron Cavalry finally understood this truth, so they quickly joined the rest of the Ming army.
In fact, this is also the standard practice of raising a coward, but those Ming Dynasty generals at that time were very disapproving, because in their eyes, those rebellious people were at most some puppies who could only bark. But what those generals didn't expect was that even after the puppy fought many times in the field of life and death, it would grow into a group of vicious wolves.
