Chapter 274: Calculation
Heishuiling is a deep mountain in Quang Ninh County, north of the capital.
There are a few villages scattered in the mountains.
There is a group of bandits hidden in the Black Water Ridge, the bandit leader and a dozen of his subordinates, who have been camped there for many years. During this period, several mountain kings were replaced, and finally in the hands of the current leader, Boss Biao, it was considered stable.
Everyone in the village of Heishuiling knows that there is such a bandit in the mountains, but this group of bandits has never robbed the property and food in the village, and usually commits crimes across regions.
So there's no hatred in the surrounding area.
This is also the reason why this group of bandits has been able to stay safely in Heishuiling for so many years.
Even, sometimes when encountering a big job, Boss Biao will contact the familiar farmers in the village to get a vote together, which is quite popular with some people.
About seven or eight years ago, Boss Biao, as usual, took a little minion and disguised himself as a martial artist looking for a job to enter the capital city of Quang Ninh County.
didn't think about it, relying on force to fight with people and be jealous, but he encountered hard stubble, and his subordinates didn't bring many people, and when he faced people, he almost lost his life.
Mr. Chiang, who was passing through Quang Ninh County, happened to be present at the time and witnessed the whole process with cold eyes. Feeling that the prostitute's toughness was extremely unusual, he asked people to make money, intercepted Biao Boss, asked a doctor for medicine, and pulled him back from the ghost gate.
Mr. Jiang did not reveal his identity, but he deceived Boss Biao's identity.
Since then, Boss Biao owes Mr. Jiang a life, and indirectly, he has also become a small force stored by King Chengjun.
In order not to reveal his identity and to grasp the movement of this force, King Chengjun planted people in the bandits' den in Heishuiling, and from time to time, news will come.
Originally, Boss Biao's life was also nourishing, but in the past two years, the Guangning County Government has strengthened the supervision of the areas under its jurisdiction, resulting in these people not having a chance to make a move for a long time.
Not long ago, the inside line who worked as a handyman in Heishuiling sent back the news that the cottage had been exhausted, and Boss Biao planned to come to the rich land of the capital to make a big vote, and it was best to get rich and noble for the rest of his life, so he stopped.
It has been more than half a month since the news came back, and King Chengjun was ready to watch from the sidelines, and at a critical time, it would be good to leak some news and let these people retreat.
These bandits are also human beings, and they also have to eat and live, so he has no reason to stop them.
But at this time, King Chengjun changed his mind. He hoped that this bandit, who was still scheming, would point the finger at the glass line, that is, Xia Yanqing.
As long as she can secretly kidnap Xia Yanqing, and then quietly send a letter to the Xia family to ask for ransom, in order to protect Xia Yanqing's reputation and not be known by outsiders that she has fallen into the bandit's nest, she is willing to agree to any conditions if she wants to come to the Xia family.
Even, take the opportunity to find her a bandit husband, that's okay.
King Chengjun's face has always been breezy and calm, but at this time he has been ruthless. Yes, find a husband who used to be a bandit for Xia Yanqing, and let her obediently stay at home to serve her husband and act at her husband's orders.
Mr. Jiang also followed up on Boss Biao's matter, hoping that they could get some benefits from this matter.
He even thought about whether to use the opportunity to create chaos and convict officials in two sensitive positions in order to make room for his own people.
Hearing King Chengjun ask about Heishuiling at this time, he knew that King Chengjun probably wanted to use Boss Biao to make a move this time to attack Xia Yanqing or Shao Yi.
Mr. Jiang said: "My subordinates paid attention to this matter two days ago, and Boss Biao acted cautiously and has been planning this matter these days. Our people are just doing some chores in the cottage, and we only heard that Boss Biao sent someone to inquire about the shops in the capital, but I don't know what the specific arrangements are. However, these people are already preparing to do it, and they think that they will leave soon. ”
King Chengjun snorted and said, "Could it be that these people plan to rob the shop in the capital?" Do you really think that the feet of the Son of Heaven can make them wild? Let them tell them how profitable the glass and glass business in the capital is. It's much easier to kidnap a woman than it is for them to attack a shop in the capital. ”
"The subordinates will arrange it." Mr. Jiang did not hesitate, and agreed.
This is also a good way, since Xia Yanqing started doing business, the county king, who has always been invincible, has also begun to have trouble doing things, and he is very evil.
If this bandit can deal a devastating blow to the glass business and Xia Yanqing, Shao Yi will have no capital to curry favor with the emperor, and his fox friends and dog friends will not be able to make much waves.
…………
Xia Yanqing was already asking Mrs. Jiang to inform her that she wanted to choose a day before the year to go to Ganye Temple to make incense, and thank the Buddha for taking care of her for the prosperity of her business for more than a year.
Mrs. Jiang only hesitated slightly, and then agreed.
Not only Mrs. Jiang, many people think that the reason why Xia Yanqing can make glass is definitely due to the heavens. Otherwise, just a little woman, where did she get such a big ability?
Therefore, it is necessary to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and this matter cannot be delayed, so it should be in time to express their family's gratitude to my Buddha before the year.
"Yan Qing is right, your business can be so prosperous, I can't say it, it's just that there are gods in the sky to take care of it. Let's choose a good day and bring more sesame oil money. When the time comes, my mother and your two sisters-in-law will accompany you over, which can also show our family's devotion to the Buddha. ”
These words made the corners of Xia Yanqing's mouth twitch, you are so pious, I don't know if the Buddha knows it.
It's just that if Mrs. Jiang and her two sisters-in-law go together, will it be inconvenient to meet Shao Yi's mother?
Fortunately, there is still more than half a month before the auspicious day that Shao Yi said, so I will send a message to Shao Yi first and ask him if there is any other way.
Now it is the end of the year, and there are many things in various mansions, and the reason why Mrs. Jiang can so happily agree to go to Ganye Temple to worship incense is indeed a good reason.
Nowadays, glass production is becoming more and more mature and stable, and after a few months of off-season in summer, autumn is gradually picking up. Now that the end of the year is approaching and families are preparing for the New Year, the glass is really starting to sell well.
Today, the price of glass is still twenty taels of silver.
Compared with the rare goods that have never been seen in the world, and the lighting is good, the warmth is strong, and the line of sight can be directly out of the window without obstruction.
With so many advantages, twenty taels of silver is really not expensive. But it is by no means something that ordinary people can afford.
Even so, the patrons of Qingyun Glass Store have never stopped, and there are also merchants who sell glass, and they also load whole boxes into the car and ship them to other places before the year.
The large amount of glass that was hoarded in Qingyunzhai and the kiln warehouse and was unsalable in the summer came in handy at this time.
With such a large number of shipments, the glass of Qingyun Glass was not bought out.
In front of the glass shop, there is a lot of traffic and people coming and going, and in the already lively year-end market, the heat of the glass business is still very dazzling.
With such a grand occasion, Xia Yanqing and Xinxiu were very interested, and the trial production of the telescope had already arrived at the grinding craftsman, so she had time to see how hot her business was.
On this day, when Xia Yanqing came out of the kiln factory, he deliberately took a detour to the street where the glass shop was located to see the grand situation of his glass business.
