Chapter 249: The Siege

Your book manager has been launched, go to the major stores and search for "Quick Eye Reading" to get it

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the autumn harvest, and Wang Fang followed the second uncle to the field.

The eight-year-old boy is about 1.3 meters tall, and because of the increase, he looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

When he was busy in the field, several thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys came to taunt him: "Little Five, your eldest brother has come to make trouble again, why don't you go over and take a look."

You don't have to do farm work or anything, my brothers will help you get it. ”

Knowing that the other party was here to ask for a reward, Wang Fang didn't bother to care, and after throwing off dozens of tongzi, Shi Shiran left.

After a year and a half of getting along, the young men of He Jiatun understood a truth, that is, He Xiaowu is rich, and it is beneficial to help him do things.

The reason is simple, easy to understand, and the effect is extraordinary.

At least Wang Fang doesn't have to interfere in farming now, he just comes to the field twice a day, and a kid who is short of money comes to help.

And at this time, the peasants were extremely simple, and they would not be bored with their work.

Shi Shiran walked towards home, and after a while, he heard a fierce quarrel in the direction of the front yard.

"My sister has been raised in your house for two years, I admit your affection, this is the sale money of the contract two years ago, I calculated the profit, and returned it double. ”

"Yo, Yang Xiaozi has developed recently, why don't you pay a hundred and eighty taels of silver for the third aunt to see......"

The previous thing was fine, but the back began to scold: "Ungrateful thing, you begged me to take in your sister at the beginning, and now that you are developed, you want to take your sister back, why don't you die, even my sister can sell something......"

The third aunt's language has always been sharp, and she has been busy with the mushroom business recently, and she doesn't know the truth about Yang Yutang's bent revenge, so she only treats the other party as an ungrateful waste, so her words have become sharper and sharper.

Wang Fang had the intention to stop it, but in the end he squatted in the corner of the wall and eavesdropped on it, for the simple reason that it felt very refreshing to eavesdropping......

When the third aunt was panting and Yang Yutang was about to be scolded and crying, Wang Fang stood up from under the wall, beckoned through the wall, and said, "Let's go, go to the river." ”

Yang Yutang finally saw the main master, and almost escaped from the He family's old mansion in a deserted manner, while the third aunt on the side was obviously not enjoying it, and the corners of her mouth were still scolding.

Walking towards the small pond with Yang Yutang, Wang Fang had the heart to talk to him.

It's just that before he reached the location, the young man behind him couldn't wait to ask: "How can you let my sister go!"

Rubbing his head with a headache, Wang Fang said: "It's not that I don't let go of your sister, it's really that your sister doesn't want to let me go."

Didn't you find out that the third aunt was invited by Yang Rong to scold you, otherwise, the broken deed would have been returned to you a long time ago. ”

As if he was afraid that the other party would not understand, Wang Fang continued: "That means that the deed is in Yang Rong's hands, as long as your sister wants to leave, she can leave at any time." ”

"You must have deceived my sister, otherwise how could she be reluctant to leave!"

As if he couldn't believe it, Yang Yutang scolded: "You are harming him, sooner or later you will be discovered by the big families, and sooner or later you will be eaten alive by them." ”

Too lazy to take care of the other party, he walked straight to the small pond, this guy is too emotional now, maybe he will start beating someone later.

After waiting for half an hour, Yang Yutang followed, and on the edge of the small pond, Wang Fang had already drawn a sketch.

This is a memory of a previous life, and it is also a drawing of a previous life, but there is no regional name, and ordinary people cannot understand the portrait on the map at all.

At the same time, when Yang Yutang came over, Wang Fang pointed to the sketch and said: "This is Hejiatun, here is Yangjiazhuang, here is Sanssouci Valley, here is Zhoujiakou ......"

As he spoke, the wooden stick slid to the corner of the northeast and said: "This is Jinling City, this is Fanyang County, and this is Chizhou Mansion......"

As he spoke, he asked the other party again: "Do you remember the direction in which we blew up the dam?"

Yang Yutang nodded in a daze and said, "What does this have to do with my sister?"

"It's related, it's big. ”

Wang Fang explained: "Aren't you worried that Yang Rong will be implicated by me, take a closer look at this picture, and see if there is anything?"

The other party shook his head, and just when he wanted to say something, he was interrupted by Wang Fang: "This is the water map of our Qingyang County, and it is also the water map of the nearby Yangtze River water vein." ”

"The Yangtze River flows from west to east to the north of us, and in our direction to the west, there is a branch of the Yangtze River, also called the Qingyang branch.

"The dam that was blown up this time is the Qingyang branch, and its water volume is enough to rush out of a river in the mountains, and the direction of my flood discharge is just the upstream of the Fanyang River. ”

"The Fanyang River and the Jinshui River are connected, once this river is unblocked, it means that Qingyang, Fanyang, Jinling, the three cities are connected as one.

Do you know what that means?"

Yang Yutang is a rare elite, and with Wang Fang's explanation, his eyes gradually became clear: "You mean, this is a business road!"

"Yes, a trade road, a trade road that runs through two counties and a provincial city in later generations!"

I didn't say anything in my heart, just nodded silently.

According to the local local chronicles, as early as the Tang and Song dynasties, there was a small river here, but with the decline of the water flow and the completion of the dam, the flooding in the river gradually disappeared, which also led to the destruction of the former trade road, and now, it is artificially opened by the king.

"After the completion of such a trade route, it means that the distance between us and Jinling City is only more than 800 miles, and it also means that it will take five days for merchant ships to run back and forth between the two places. ”

As if he was excited by his own thoughts, Wang Fang said awe-inspiringly: "Do you think that after such a trade route, the big families in the city still have the heart to trouble me?"

With the passage of time, Yang Yutang gradually figured out the direction of the river, and said with a long sigh of relief: "So you have already planned it!"

"Of course, I'm just an eight-year-old kid, and if I don't have enough back, do you think I'll do it easily!"

The idea of the river was considered as early as when Wang Fang had just crossed, but because the dam was to be blown up, it could never be put into practice.

And now, taking advantage of the fluctuation of food prices, it is time to put it into reality, not to mention, it can completely solve the consequences of its own actions.

At the same time, Wang Fang continued to explain: "Once the trade road is unblocked, even if only a few inns are built on the bank of the river, it will be hundreds of taels of water a day, plus the wharf in Zhoujiakou, then this will be a currency area with an annual output value of hundreds of thousands of taels."

And because of the direct access to Jinling City, there is no need to worry about the problem of sales, even if it is just a pound of ordinary beef, after being transported to Jinling City, you can earn a profit of 30%.

Do you think that with this trade route, the big families in the city will still have their eyes on me? ”

As he spoke, Wang Fang sneered: "After all, I just pried tens of thousands of taels on them, and to be more detailed, each family will only share it with about two thousand taels."

For 2,000 taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of taels of currency, which do you think is more important?"

Yang Yutang didn't bother to argue with Wang Fang, but wondered: "Then why didn't they open this river before?"

Regarding this issue, if he couldn't explain it to the other party, Wang Fang knew that the other party must not be at ease, so he explained: "First of all, no one can ensure that after the dam is blown up, the river will not be smooth, not to mention, there are tens of thousands of acres of paddy fields and 100,000 acres of mountainous land in the downstream of the river.

If it were an ordinary family, the big households in the county would not care about the life or death of the small people, even if it was for the sake of a 20% probability, they would try it.

But the tens of thousands of acres of paddy fields downstream of this river are all the property of Lao Tian's family, and their family just has a person who is an official in a county town in the southwest. ”

As he spoke, Wang Fang smiled and said, "In the entire Qingyang County, apart from me, who else can ignore the influence of lifting people and casually submerge his family's acres." ”

Yang Yutang on the other side seemed to be completely stunned, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "You guy, what a madman!"
