Chapter 179: The Windfall Arrives
The woman was a young woman in her twenties. The face is haggard, but it does not hide its flamboyant nature. But even so, in Wu Shigong's memory, he really hadn't seen this woman.
But the woman clearly knew herself. So Wu Shigong asked questioningly, "Are you?" ”
"The slave family has seen Wu Qianhu in Guide Mansion." Seeing that Wu Shigong still looked puzzled, the woman was a little anxious, and she reminded loudly: "At that time, the slave family also toasted Wu Qianhu with a glass of wine." ”
This latter sentence is a bit ambiguous. Wu Shigong felt that the gazes of the soldiers around him were a little hot. In those days, it was not uncommon for women to toast to men. In addition to the familiar family, there is usually this opportunity in the Wind Moon Field.
But after Wu Shigong traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he had never come into contact with any women in Fengyue places, and the only thing that impressed him was the manling who asked him to do "advanced mathematics", and there was no one else. But who is this woman?
Wu Shigong's brain was spinning rapidly. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. Then he immediately looked the woman up and down. zuihou, Wu Shigong asked with some uncertainty: "Are you Qi ......" Wu Shigong thought that the woman must have been abused, and it was not good to call her name directly in public, so he quickly changed his words: "Were you wearing a veil at the time?" ”
Seeing that Wu Shigong had recognized herself, the woman immediately sobbed and cried. Wu Shigong jumped off the horse, hugged his fists at the military attache who was escorting, and said: "This woman is an old man of this official, can this brother make a convenient ......?"
Before Wu Shigong finished speaking, the military attache replied with a smile on his face, "Wu Qianhu, please." ”
Wu Shigong saluted the military attache again, and then instructed the guards around him: "Send her to my big tent outside the city." Be well entertained. ”
Then he said to the woman, "You can wait in the big tent with peace of mind, and I will come over as soon as I am done with my business." ”
After the guards left with the woman, Wu Shigong shook his head. That woman should be the lady of the original Qi County Order. At that time, after guarding the county seat, this Mrs. Qi did toast Wu Shigong with a glass of wine. But now looking at Mrs. Qi's appearance, I thought that the Qi County Order was indeed transferred to Beizhili as the governor. Then the fate of Qi County's order is also more auspicious.
And no matter what you said at that time, Qi County Ling and Wu Shigong always worked together when they were guarding the county seat. Now that this has happened to Mrs. Qi, Wu Shigong has to lend a hand no matter what.
As soon as Wu Shigong arrived at the Zhizhou Yamen, Qin Liangyu, who had already received the news, immediately called Wu Shigong in. Seeing Qin Liangyu's eyebrows and smiles, Wu Shigong knew that Qin Liangyu not only killed a lot of Tartars and captured Luanzhou City, but also captured a lot last night.
So, Wu Shigong sneakily poked his head over and asked in a low voice, "Mom, last night's harvest was good, right?" ”
Qin Liangyu was amused by Wu Shigong's words all of a sudden, she stretched out her hand and shuddered on Wu Shigong's head, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you are ridiculing the old body." Ma Xianglin on the side also "hehe" straight music.
Qin Liangyu then handed Wu Shigong a piece of paper and said to Wu Shigong: "The old man has never done anything about the river and demolishing the bridge. You also contributed a lot yesterday. Look, these are the things seized in the city, and they will be divided among you in half of them. ”
Qin Liangyu's distribution ratio is based on the number of soldiers, which is also very fair. Wu Shigong took the paper and looked at it carefully. There are indeed quite a few seizures.
Because the speed of the white pole soldiers rushing into Luanzhou City was very fast, the Later Jin army was defeated very quickly. Therefore, the materials in Luanzhou City were basically preserved. More than 800 horses were seized and more than 9,000 stones of grain were captured. This grain is because Huang Taiji wants to run the four cities of Yongping, and he didn't bring it to the outside of the gate to stay, and it is cheaper for Qin Liangyu and Wu Shigong.
In addition to this, there are large quantities of cloth, wine, tea and tobacco. Of course, there is no gold, silver or jewelry in this list. Anyway, this is a tacit matter, and Wu Shigong will not bring it up to Qin Liangyu so uninterestingly.
Wu Shigong was also very happy after seeing it, so he said to Qin Liangyu: "Mom is mighty, just rely on you, the pioneer, to take down Luanzhou City." Why didn't the emperor treat you as Mu Guiying? Otherwise, the four cities of Yongping might have been recovered long ago. ”
After listening to Wu Shigong's sycophancy, Qin Liangyu was very useful, and she scolded with a smile: "If you don't respect the emperor, don't talk nonsense about you stinky boy!" It's also that the tartars in the city are too useless. However, there were not many real Tartars, and all that remained were some Mongols and Han Chinese who took refuge in the Tartars. They have no master, and they are just flying around the city like a headless fly, and they can't use any strength to clean them up. You say it's funny or not, they didn't even take away or burn the documents in the yamen. ”
Then, Qin Liangyu seemed to remember something, and said to Wu Shigong with a smile: "Your 'mother' and 'mother' are too ugly. Otherwise, let's call the old godmother. ”
Wu Shigong agreed with a smile.
Qin Liangyu continued: "Don't think that we can divide these things on the list, we must always leave about 3,000 stone of grain and some property as seized and handed over." Oh! I just received news from Sun Taishi that he will lead the main force and arrive here in two days. ”
"Why!" As soon as Wu Shigong heard that the meat in his mouth was about to be spit out, he was very unhappy, "They haven't made any efforts, why should they give them things?" Besides, the main force must have brought food with them, and they don't look down on us these things. ”
Qin Liangyu said helplessly to Wu Shigong: "There is no way to do this. Do you think you don't want these things? But even if we keep these things with us, there is no big car to transport them. We won't be here for long, and these things aren't just thrown here for nothing! ”
Wu Shigong thought that this was indeed the case. However, he thought about it for a while and said to Qin Liangyu: "Anyway, let's take these things into our own hands first." The kid has some connections with the carriage and horse dealers in the southern city of the capital, and he is trying to transport some big cars. At most, when the road is impassable, it is still better to throw it away than to send it away for nothing now. ”
Hearing that Wu Shigong had a way to solve it, Qin Liangyu certainly wouldn't disagree. Wu Shigong continued: "Not only these things, but as long as the useful things in Luanzhou City are to be moved to the camp, not even a rat's tail should be left behind." We are hard-working haha, and we can only be so diligent and thrifty. ”
Wu Shigong's words made the surroundings laugh, and Ma Xianglin joked on the side: "Brother Wu is so good at running a family, if you are a woman, I will definitely marry you." Ma Xianglin's words caused another burst of daxiao.
How thick Wu Shigong's face was, he immediately shot back: "Brother Ma, you have no chance." Because you do look too ugly. ”
Qin Liangyu smiled and looked at the pair of living treasures playing tricks, and suddenly found that Wu Shigong had restrained his expression and was quietly thinking about something. Qin Liangyu was a little puzzled, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
At this time, Wu Shigong was thinking of the Holy Spirit who would rebel against the people and the Tatars who would enter the customs, as well as the Lady Qi. He connected these things together, and remembered the land that he had bought through the Qi County Order at that time, which confiscated the rebellious people.
Immediately, Wu Shigong made up his mind and said to Qin Liangyu: "Godmother, I have a way to make silver here." You see, there is no human population on the land of Luanzhou City. These are unowned lands. You just said that none of the documents in the yamen were taken away, so the title deeds that were stored in the yamen are now in our hands. Let's just sell all this ownerless land. ”
Qin Liangyu was taken aback by Wu Shigong's whimsy, and she retorted a little incredulously: "Are you really dizzy, stinky boy?" It's that we want to sell, where is anyone going to buy it at this moment? And they have to take out so much cash, which is simply impossible. Besides, we have all sold the land, and if we go to Luanzhou City to be officials in the future, they will also hold a grudge against us. Even if we run away, those who buy land can't run away, isn't this pushing people into the fire pit? Who knows about this fire pit, and they won't jump it. ”
Wu Shigong made a confident appearance, and he said to Qin Liangyu a little mysteriously: "Godmother, don't you know my identity?" ”
Qin Liangyu's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she immediately understood what Wu Shigong meant. Wu Shigong has two Hou mansions behind him, and with the kinship, it should be able to include the entire circle of nobles in the capital.
And these nobles and silver are definitely not lacking, and they like to buy land the most, and even better is that the capital is not far from Luanzhou City, and it is very convenient to manage. As long as Qin Liangyu lowers the price of land, those nobles are not eager to rush to it.
Ma Xianglin, who was on the side, hadn't fully figured it out, he asked: "Then what if we sell the land and those people who fled come back with the title deed?" ”
The title deeds of the Ming Dynasty were in duplicate. One copy is kept by the government and one is collected by the landlord. It's kind of like the current title deed.
Wu Shigong glanced at Ma Xianglin and explained angrily: "After those powerful people buy the land, they can't settle this kind of thing through the government, so the powerful hats on their heads can be thrown into the pit." Besides, most of the people left here have also shaved their tails, and it's good not to treat them as Tartars and catch them to kill their heads, they still want land? Even if there are such people who flee into the mountains in twos and threes, it will be enough to give them another piece of wasteland to settle down when the time comes. This kind of thing, those who buy land will deal with it, and we don't have to worry about it. ”
Qin Liangyu smiled and immediately clapped: "Okay!" That's it. But I have to make it clear here, let's first set a three taels of silver per acre for this land. Or according to the old rules, you take two and a half. ”
Wu Shigong complained: "Godmother, you're too picky." Say it right. ”
After some bargaining, Zuihou set the land price at four taels per mu, and Wu Shigong received one-third of the income. After discussing everything, Qin Liangyu arranged for Wu Shigong to immediately write two letters to the Yangwu Marquis Mansion and the Gongshun Marquis Mansion, asking these two marquis to immediately unite the nobles and powerful civil officials in the capital to bring the silver to Luanzhou City to buy land. Of course, they also need their help to mobilize a large number of trucks to transport all the seized goods.
Qin Liangyu was going to let the messenger sent by Wu Shigong and the messenger who went to the capital to repay his merits rush to the capital together.
After discussing all this, Qin Liangyu glared at the phoenix again, and said to Wu Shigong: "Why don't you go and do something soon?" ”
Wu Shigong was in a very good mood at this time, and he said with a hippie smile: "Godmother." What are you doing? Do you write a letter or do you want to transport something to the camp? ”
Seeing that Wu Shigong still dared to tease himself, Qin Liangyu stretched out his hand and gave Wu Shigong a violent shudder, and scolded with a smile: "Let me do it!" ”
Wu Shigong walked to the door with a smile and whistling, and suddenly remembered something, he turned around and said to Qin Liangyu: "Godmother, there are still a few things that the kid needs from you here." ”
