Chapter 17: The Wuji Zhen Family
In the early morning, looking out the window, the pale blue sky was so clean that there was no trace of impurities, and the faint color stretched all the way to the sky.
In ancient times, there were no industrial plants, chemical plants, and no automobile exhaust pollution, and the air quality was several levels higher than that of modern times. Even Ji Cheng, who is in a ghost state, can clearly feel it.
The maid left the room to prepare the morning meal after serving her wide clothes, and after the morning meal, Ji Cheng and Ma Shangfeng were taken to the living room, and Zhen Yi was already waiting.
Zhen Fu introduced them to each other, and then Zhen Yi asked Ji Cheng: "How were the distinguished guests resting last night, are you satisfied with the service of the subordinates!" ”
Ji Cheng: "Thank you for the reception, we are very satisfied." ”
Zhen Yi: "It's good to be satisfied." How many distinguished guests don't know where they came from? ”
Ji Cheng also took out the remaining two mirrors and said, "We are from a small village in Liaodong, and we accidentally got a few treasure mirrors, so we sold them, and we are going to use these money to donate a Liaodong Taishou."
We don't need cash for this transaction, as long as the head of the Zhen family helps me donate a Liaodong Taishou and give me another 3,000 stone of grain. ”
Zhen Yi: "I can give you food at any time, and you can let people come and pull it at any time." It's just that our Zhen family can't help you donate it, so you need to do it yourself. I will give enough money, a Taishou needs to donate tens of millions of money, Liaodong is a bitter cold place, and the price is still negotiable.
I will give you 30 million money, and with this 30 million money, you can buy all the official positions in Liaodong, and Liaodong can also become your hall. ”
The status of the merchant is very low, but Zhen Yi also regrets his name and does not want to have anything to do with the eunuch, so he did not agree to the request to help Ji Cheng buy an official.
Ji Cheng was not reluctant, and asked more than 500 people from the Ma family to come over and leave with money and food.
After leaving the city, Ji Cheng said to Ma Chaoqun: "You take the money and people to Luoyang to buy officials, and Ma Shangfeng and I will go to Yingchuan to collect a few talents, and then meet directly in Liaodong." ”
Ma Chaoqun: "Don't worry, I will definitely handle things well, you should be careful all the way." ”
Ji Cheng: "Go ahead......"
……
After Ji Cheng and the others left, Zhen Fu asked Zhen Yi, "Family Master, is the money you gave a little too much?" That Ji Cheng is not a member of the Shi clan, his subordinates are all composed of some homeless people, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, they don't dare to fall out with our Zhen family if they give some money, why do they have to give so much? ”
Zhen Fu had asked people to see the more than 500 people before, including men and women, wearing civilian clothes, and then looking at their skinny appearance, as long as they were a group of homeless people.
With the strength of the Zhen family, it is easy to settle these people, not to mention that those mirrors are not worth 30 million yuan and 1,000 stone of grain. It was only worth ten million at most, and he didn't understand why the head of the family gave so much money.
Zhen Yi: "That Jicheng is not simple, it is definitely not what he said, it is a small village from Liaodong. From the beginning to the end, he gave me a sense of superiority, as if he was a king and I was a subordinate.
He chose Liaodong, do you think he really wants to be the Taishou of his hometown? ”
Zhen Fu: "Isn't it?" If not, why did he choose Liaodong? Liaodong is a bitter cold place, and there is no hair, what future can there be in that place? It is much better to be a county magistrate in Jizhou than to be the Liaodong Taishou. ”
Zhen Yi: "That's just now, and it won't be necessary in a few years." ”
Zhen Fu: "Does he have the ability to make Liaodong prosperous?" But even if he has the ability to make Liaodong prosperous, the alien race will not let them have a good time, and in the end, it will not be for nothing. ”
Zhen Yi: "He saw that troubled times were coming. Choosing Liaodong as the foundation for slow development, he will not fail to understand that the alien race will not let him develop with peace of mind. But he still chose Liaodong, which proves that he is sure to deal with the plundering of foreign races. ”
Zhen Fu: "Is that the head of the family, what you said about the Taiping Dao?" Do they really dare to rebel? ”
Zhen Yi: "Now that the Taiping Sect is developing more and more, there are people secretly pushing it, even if Zhang Jiao doesn't want to rebel, someone will force him to rebel, so there will definitely be chaos in a few years."
You ask the clansmen from all parts of the Zhen family to hand over the affairs to the local stewards, so that they can come back with some of the money, and the construction of Wubao should also be strengthened, and the food reserves, weapon reserves, and the training of the family members should also be stepped up.
I don't want our Zhen family to be caught off guard when the troubled times come. ”
Zhen Yi was still hesitating, but after contacting Ji Cheng today, he finally made up his mind. If you prepare early, there will be less losses at that time, and if there is really no way to Taiping Dao, the Zhen family will not have much loss.
Now it's just to give up some irrelevant industries, those important industries The Zhen family will naturally arrange trustworthy people to be stationed, if Taiping Dao does not rebel against the Zhen family, there will be no obstacles to sending people over to take over.
Zhen Fu is Zhen Yi's absolute confidant, as long as it is Zhen Yi's orders, he will do it, although he doesn't believe it in his heart at this time, he doesn't disobey, and summons him to the other clansmen of the Zhen family according to Zhen Yi's instructions.
Back to Ji Cheng's side: After Ji Cheng and Ma Chaoqun separated, they took Ma Shangfeng to Yingchuan, and they also encountered many thieves along the way, but they were all solved by Ji Cheng.
After walking for more than ten days, they were resting outside a mountain forest, when they suddenly heard a tiger roaring, Ji Cheng and Ma Shangfeng looked back and found that a fierce tiger rushed out of the mountain forest, followed by a person, who quickly crossed the tiger and stopped the tiger.
The tiger didn't dare to move when he saw that person, and the black man turned around and said to Ji Cheng: "You give me half of the money, how about I help you drive the tiger away?" ”
Ji Cheng smiled and said, "It's just a little tiger, I can solve it myself, you let it come!" ”
"Even you, with your little arms and legs, can you solve this tiger? It's not worth losing your life for a little money. ”
This time, the man walked towards Ji Cheng, and Ji Cheng also saw the appearance of the person who came, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a sideways face, and the appearance of a bandit leader.
If you put it to the modern world to be an actor, you will definitely be able to mix well, this kind of person plays the boss of the underworld in his true colors, and the crew on Hong Kong Island will definitely choose him as the queen supporting role.
Ji Cheng probably guessed which historical celebrity he was. didn't break it, and said again: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky." If I really die under the mouth of this beast today, I can only blame my thin life, and it has nothing to do with Brother Tai, Brother Tai, you better get out of the way! ”
"It's the first time I've seen someone who wants money and doesn't want to die, but I'm kind-hearted, I can't bear to see you become the food of this tiger, I'll help you beat it away, you invite me to a meal, and the wine is enough."
Ji Cheng: "I still decided to face it myself... Don't be a brother and shoot ......"
