Chapter 548: The children don't return home
But it's not so easy to do, Qingjiangpu has been prosperous for so long, and the various livelihoods have long been divided into the scope of power, and this carriage and horse have been monopolized by the two major gangs in Henan and Shandong, and behind these gang guilds, there are more shadows of wealthy officials and gentry looming.
Wang Dagang's gang had a hard time before they were united, and after they united, they repelled the nuisance of the Henan Gang twice, and then took over the transportation business of several cloth villages, and everyone's life was better than before, and then they were suppressed even more.
"Everything is in accordance with the rules on the side of Qingjiangpu", from Cao Shang to the shore, from top to bottom, from the officials and gentry to the recklessness of the rivers and lakes, Qingjiangpu has long formed a system, every force, everyone has their own position in it, get their own benefits, this system has not changed for decades.
And Wang Dagang's gang wants to break this system, or they don't want to stay at the bottom, and they want to be more upper, which is intolerable by all aspects of this system.
Two or three hundred strong men are not bad in the rivers and lakes anywhere, but here in Qingjiangpu, these people are really nothing, and the big car gangs in Henan and Shandong can mobilize far more people than this number, not to mention that the other party also uses official errands.
During the time when Wang Dagang was hiding and recuperating from his injuries, he also heard some news from Zhilu, Zhilu Dao wanted his enemies not only to be a big car gang, but this time it was a lesson to other restless people in a greater sense, so that they knew that Lu Dao was powerful, Qingjiangpu's fat distribution system, the first came naturally with many benefits, and the latter were of course dissatisfied, Wang Dagang's group of retail coachmen was just one of the examples, and they were regarded as chickens that killed chickens and set an example for monkeys.
"Jin Ye, the battle on the rivers and lakes, defeated the confession This should also be, the small ones have nothing to talk about, but the big car gang in Shandong and Henan has done too much, that is nearly 200 lives, those who were killed during the fight, and the old and weak who were burned to death afterwards, Jin Ye, most of them are our Xuzhou people, miserable, the small ones are nothing, but they died unjustly, ask Jin Ye to preside over justice, ask Jin Ye to give them justice!" The more Wang Dagang spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes were red, his voice was crying, and he kowtowed.
"I'll do you justice!" Zhao Jin said loudly.
Hearing this, Wang Dagang looked up in amazement, thinking that he was going to cry and beg, and the other party might not be able to agree if he had to consider it again and again, after all, this is justice, that is, to send people over, to fight and pay for deaths and injuries, such a major matter, anyone must seriously consider it, he came to plead, he heard some scattered rumors, and after coming back, he got his brother's confirmation, so he mustered up the courage to come, but he didn't have much hope, who would have thought that he would agree so happily.
Looking at the young faces sitting at the top, Wang Dagang felt that it was not very reliable, and he agreed so easily, does it mean that he would not do it? The young man agreed enthusiastically for a while, but afterwards he was told by the elder in charge that he would definitely be stopped after weighing the benefits.
This is the second time he has been stunned, and he can't even look at Dong Jike, who was sitting there, and immediately coughed and said: "Since Xiaojin promised you, then there will be no difference, go home and wait with peace of mind!" ”
Wang Baihu hurriedly thanked him, and dragged Wang Dagang, who was suspicious of the letter and out of proportion, to leave the main hall, as soon as the two of them left, Zhao Jin frowned and asked: "Uncle Dong, in the past two years, our Xuzhou people have fought a situation, how can someone like this who has martial arts and ability still live so miserably?" ”
Hearing his question, Dong Jike first smiled bitterly, then sighed, shook his head and said with emotion: "Our guards are crying!" ”
Looking at Dong Jike, who seemed to be a rich man, Zhao Jin only felt strange and abnormal, but he also knew that Dong Jike's feelings were sincere, Dong Jike, as a Weiqianhu in Xuzhou, was naturally very clear about the things in the Wei Institute, and what he had seen and heard over the years naturally made him feel a lot.
There are two roots of the matter, the land in Xuzhou is barren, the identity and qualifications of the military households in the Weisu and the tuntian, and only the eldest man can inherit it.
The barren land could not feed so many people, and the huge families occupied a large amount of land, which aggravated the situation of more people and less land.
Each guard has five thousand households, a total of more than 5,000 soldiers, each soldier has a fixed amount of field, this value is nailed, but this number is set by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang when he founded the country, the soldiers of that year became a family, spread branches, gave birth to heirs, and the heirs became families, passed down from generation to generation, more and more people, at the beginning, the fields were quite abundant, and one became two copies to feed people, but the fields were limited, but there were more and more people, and naturally it was not enough, not to mention, the commander and the thousands of households had to encroach and occupy.
Now it has been 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the fields of the guard house are already extremely tight, even if you want to stay in the guard house and work as a tenant for a long time, you may not be able to have land to cultivate.
Because of this, the military households of the guard have also formed their own habits, the commander and the thousands of households needless to say, Zhao Zhentang is not to say that he is looking for a way out, the military households below the deputy thousand households, the family business is only inherited by the eldest man, the woman is married is good, and the rest of the children and men are all looking for their own way out, and when they reach a certain age, the family does not raise them, if they do not go at home, the degree of food and clothing is lower than that of the long-term tenants, so the military households of the guard, the men other than the eldest man go to learn a craft, and the second son and the third son often choose to learn martial arts. Although the eldest man inherited the identity of the military household of the guard, he may not know martial arts, and may only know how to cultivate and manage farmland.
This is also the origin of the martial arts on the ground in Xuzhou, there is no way to survive from the fields, you can only make a living in the knife fight, no matter how degraded the guard, he is also the inheritance of the martial arts, there is a tradition of martial arts, most of the remaining Ding of Xuzhou Wei took this road.
Some people go far away like Zhao Zhenxing, wanting to gain fame and wealth on the battlefield, some people are mixed in the rivers and lakes and green forests, fighting desperately to be happy, some people go to see the home and nursing home, and some people just go to work outside, relying on strength and courage to live better than others, Wang Dagang is a lot of this, they have martial arts, and they are less bullied outside, even if they don't do those knives and lick blood for a living, they are much better than others.
"Don't they know how to come back? We in Xuzhou are now in need of these capable people," Zhao Jin asked suspiciously.
Now the situation in Xuzhou is very good, compared to those people who come to defect outside, Xuzhou local, especially the martial arts in Xuzhou Weili are the most trustworthy in knowing the roots, the Zhao family and the Dong family in Xuzhou Weili have a relationship, and the martial artists in it have nothing to do with the local powerful families, and they are the most suitable candidates, as long as they come over, Zhao Jin will definitely give a way out, and now the reconstructed three teams of patrol salt, river patrol and patrol thieves are all martial artists from Xuzhou Wei, each happy.
Regarding Zhao Jin's doubts, Dong Jike just smiled bitterly, and the answer was very simple: "What are you doing when you come back, that little thing at home will collapse with one more mouth, after the canal is diverted on our side, the rivers and lakes can't be mixed up, so you can only go, you can find a way to live outside and find a job, how is it not better than coming back." ”
Dong Jike's words made the atmosphere in the room very heavy, but Dong Jike's next smile was not a bitter smile, but said jokingly: "No one can imagine the changes in the past two years, let alone that you can make such a situation in Xuzhou, even if you hear it, you won't care, other people's affairs are someone else's, who dares to lose the camp plan at hand back, what if it is fake, then wouldn't it be a failure?" ”
That's right, the news is not smooth, when the displaced people besieged Xuzhou, Yangzhou City only got the detailed news after almost half a month, and knowing the news is one thing, and whether it is true or false is another.
Seven or eight young people who are no more than twenty years old, leading a group of equally young people, are so able to fight well, sweep away the heroes, and talk about it as a story commentary, if it is true, how can people believe it?
Dong Jike brought the Wang brothers over to meet, and the matter was over, approaching the end of the year, the health center was also very busy, especially the close combination of Xuzhou Wei and Zhao Ziying system, and the business was very prosperous.
The protection of the guard is much better than that of the state city, and there are more martial artists over there, Dong Bingfeng asked Dong Jike to move to Hejiazhuang, Dong Jike didn't pay attention to it, and had no choice but to send someone to the guard to protect it.
Sent away Dong Jike, the brothers of the Wang family also followed back to the guard, in Zhao Jin and his partners want to come, the brothers are running around, it is also the duty to go back to see the New Year, the old people in the family must be happy, I didn't expect Dong Jike to say this in private: "In addition to the one at the top of the door, the others are not allowed to come back for the New Year, one more mouth is expensive, in case of something to fight, it is also a mess, originally Wang Dagang was going to live in Hejiazhuang and other news, this is still Xiaojin You are willing to see them, so you can go back to live for a few days, Otherwise, wouldn't it be difficult to save face? ”
Hearing this, Zhao Jin and his partners were speechless for a while, the life of the military households in the guard was actually so difficult, although they had a lot of contact, they did not have an in-depth understanding.
As soon as the people left, the partners did not disperse, everyone gathered in the study, that time the cattle and horse merchant Wang Ziyang was attacked in the Guide Mansion in Henan, which made Zhao Jin and his partners very excited, which opened the situation of the Guide Mansion, but the excitement was just a flash, to put it bluntly, the Guide Mansion is close to Xuzhou, it is a natural trend, and it is just done easily, but this time it is completely different.
"Big brother, Qingjiangpu is the first and most important place in the south and north of the Jiangbei, and all parties are entangled and mixed, and Qingjiangpu is different from the few places we are taking now, there are great profits of Cao Yun and Cao grain, once it moves, it will inevitably cut off other people's financial routes, and it will inevitably face a fierce counterattack at that time, big brother must be cautious!" Wang Zhaojing said first.
