Chapter 111: Developing the Island

Wu Jiliang didn't understand, he was usually as good as a brother with Hu Shilang, and the two of them were drinking and playing with the little lady a few days ago, but why did he turn his face today.

Damn, my brother-in-law is right, these people in black skin are all dog-faced, and they will be turned over when they say it.

However, at present, all his belongings are in the hands of others, and he only dares to scold in his heart, his face is still full of flattering smiles, and he asks flatteringly, "Fourth brother, what's wrong with this?" You've got a message to your brother. ”

As he spoke, he stuffed Hu Si with a few pieces of paper.

To Wu Jiliang's surprise, Hu Si did not accept the silver tickets, but pushed them back and said coldly, "Wu Jiliang, you evade taxes, make and sell counterfeits, speculate, and disrupt the market...... According to the rules of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce, the captain has the right to seal down your shop. ”

"Hu, Captain Hu?"

After listening to Hu Siyizheng's accusation, the smile on Wu Jiliang's face couldn't hold on any longer, and he asked with a gloomy meaty face, with a somewhat reprimanding tone.

"You have the right to remain silent, and you have the right to appeal to the Qi Di Confucian Business Association, however, these evidences have been taken away by the pickets of the Beijing General Association, you, you ......" After all, he has been friends with his brother and brother for several years, looking at Wu Jiliang's face, Hu Si was somewhat unbearable, he quietly lowered his voice and said, "Wu shopkeeper, it's not a brother, I don't miss the love of the past, it's really your case is too big, I, I can't do anything." Do you know that the request to investigate and punish Wuji is an order issued by the Jingli Association, you think about it, whether you have offended the people of the Zhao family. ”

Speaking of which, Hu Si paused, and he said to Wu Jiliang that these were already the friendship between the two of them, and if they went deeper, they couldn't beat him anymore.

Just kidding, Wu Jiliang is at most his dog meat friend, and the interaction between the two is originally to use each other, and they don't have the deep friendship between them that cost each other's lives.

"The Capital Association? The Zhao family? ”

When Wu Jiliang heard this, his heart also sank.

Although he is rampant in the township on weekdays, it is in this small county town, out of the county seat, when he arrives in Qidi, he is not even a fart.

Not to mention that in the eyes of the nobles in the capital, he is nothing.

Offended the Zhao family?

God, how dare he do that.

Not to mention offended, usually under the influence of his brother-in-law, he doesn't even dare to do business with Confucian businessmen, let alone the Zhao family, the president of the Confucian Business Association.

Wait, doing business?

Wu Jihao seemed to suddenly think of something, he grabbed Hu Si, who turned around to leave, and asked eagerly, "Fourth brother, fourth master, tell me, has the Zhao family been in the grain business recently?" ”

Hu Si turned his head, glanced at Wu Jiliang with pity, and nodded lightly, "According to my eyeliner notice in Beijing, Second Young Master Zhao recently purchased a batch of grain, but unfortunately he was deceived, and the grain was not only old grain and moldy grain, but also mixed with one-third of grass clippings and sand...... The second young master was very annoyed, and said that he would rectify these grain merchants well."

"Oh my God"

After Wu Jiliang heard this, several explosions of thunder sounded in his ears, and his feet trembled with fright.

Stale grain? Stale grain mixed with sand?

"Vomit~~"

Thinking of the tragic situation he was about to face, Wu Jiliang's throat and eyes were salty, a mouthful of blood gushed up, and the whole person fell down as softly as noodles.

The news of Wuji's accident soon spread to Zheng Sanyang.

It's just that he is too busy to take care of himself now, and he has no energy to care about outsiders' bad things.

"Didn't you say that those little cubs were all sent away, why did they fall into Wang Qiniang's hands now?"

Zheng Sanyang thought of the two rabbit cubs he saw in the Qingzhou Mansion, and he had the heart to kill them, so he easily relied on the relationship between Su Ri and the Qingzhou Mansion to get out of the mansion, and when he returned home, he called the housekeeper in charge of the matter and asked sharply.

"Master, the little one did send people away," Steward Zheng was scolded by the old man, and he couldn't do it, so he pulled his head and said in a muffled voice, "That day, the little one watched them get into the carriage going south, and the little one didn't know how they fell into the hands of Wang Qiniang." ”

Originally, burning grain and grass was enough to lack morality, and he was also responsible for wiping the old man's buttocks, alas, it is really not easy for people at the moment.

"You, you useless thing, are still arguing here, what's the matter, the master scolded you and scolded you for wronging you?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in the housekeeper's words, Zheng Sanyang was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked him twice.

"No, I was lucky enough to escape today, but tomorrow it will be difficult to say."

This time, he gave a large amount of silver to Qingzhou Mansion, and the other party saw his identity as a Confucian businessman, so he reluctantly refused to take him into custody.

But tomorrow Wang Qiniang will go to the court, and with the intervention of Mrs. Yipin, no matter how strong the relationship between him Zheng Sanyang and Qingzhou Mansion is, the slippery official will not face him.

You can't just sit back and wait.

"Master, I heard that Wang Qiniang is recruiting tenant farmers on a large scale, and is still buying materials for building houses in large quantities, as well as various daily necessities, you see?"

The housekeeper was kicked twice by the master, but he didn't hold a grudge, he lowered his head and thought about it, and suggested.

"Huh?" When Zheng Sanyang heard this, he suddenly turned his head and stared at the housekeeper tightly for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "Yes, the bell must be tied to the bell, and Wang Qifang has to speak in this matter, as long as she can let me go, this case will have a turnaround." ”

Thinking of doing it, Zheng Sanyang walked around the house twice, and after thinking about the specific details, he changed into the shirt he wore when he went out and went to the Qian Mansion to ask to see Mrs. Wang.

"Sister, are you making a big move this time?"

Sitting on the clinical kang, Mei Niang glanced at Wang Qifang opposite and asked with a smile.

"It's not a big move, I just want to develop Peach Blossom Island well," Wang Qifang picked up a cherry, took two bites lightly, and shook her head, "Well, it doesn't taste very good." ”

"That's, how can there be a good Zhuangzi in your capital," Mei Niang heard that the other party disliked her own fruits were not good, not only was she not annoyed, but nodded approvingly, and said, "Alas, since I returned to Qingzhou, I can't eat my sister's fruit, the fruit here is fresh, but the taste is not as good as your family's ......."

When Mei Niang thought of the cherries, apples and sweet and sour cherry tomatoes produced in Wang Qifang's Zhuangzi, she felt like her saliva was about to flow out.

Suddenly, he sat up straight and looked straight at Wang Qifang, "By the way, my sister just said that she wants to develop Peach Blossom Island, is it to have peach trees on the island?" ”

Hmm, wouldn't she be able to eat delicious peaches that way?

To tell the truth, after more than a year of friendship with Wang Qifang, Mei Niang already has a kind of blind trust in Wang Qifang, as long as Wang Qifang gets the fruit, it will definitely be delicious, and as long as Wang Qifang comes up with a business, it will definitely make money.

This time, hearing that she was going to develop the island, Mei Niang also began to make a small calculation.

"Hehe, no, peach trees were originally planted on Peach Blossom Island, otherwise how could it be called Peach Blossom Island."

Wang Qifang saw Mei Niang's coveted appearance, she was very helpless, alas, she was not tireless, the second young grandmother of the dignified Qian family, a famous lady in Qingzhou, was hooked up like this by her fruits.

Shaking her head slightly, Wang Qifang smiled and said, "However, I want to try other fruits." A few days ago, I entrusted the fleet of Grandma Si Lu to help find some southern fruits, and wanted to try to grow them on my Peach Blossom Island. The main purpose of this development of the island is to reclaim the wasteland on the island and grow more food. ”

"Huh? Southern fruits, aren't they those Lingnan lychees? ”

Qian Zhixin has seen a lot of the world when he travels south and north, and even with it, Mei Niang has more or less heard a lot of things in other places.

Speaking of lychees, before Li Tang was destroyed by the Great Zhou, there was no emperor Tang Minghuang, so naturally there was no so-called "a red dust concubine laughs, no one knows that it is a lychee".

However, because of the smooth transportation and shipping between the north and the south, the special fruits of the south will still appear in the market in the north, and this lychee is no exception.

"Yes, this time I asked them to bring a lot of fruit tree seedlings, such as lychee, bayberry, loquat, coconut, etc., these fruits are not only delicious, but also have high nutritional value."

Wang Qifang nodded, folded her hands and counted the fruits to be planted.

"Wow, that's great, I'll be able to eat these delicious fruits next year." Mei Niang couldn't help but swallow her saliva and said happily.

The two of them were talking leisurely and whispering, when a little girl came over and whispered something to Mei Niang's eldest girl.

"Well, what's wrong?"

Mei Niang vaguely heard something asking to see Mrs. Wang, guessing that someone was looking for Wang Qifang, so she hurriedly asked.

"Back to the second young grandmother, Master Zheng outside the door asks to see Wang Qifang."

When the little girl heard this, she hurriedly curtsied and saluted.

"Master Zheng? Zheng Sanyang? ”

When Wang Qifang heard this, she paused, and then thought of today's lawsuit, so she smiled and said, "Let him come in, I'll go to the front hall to meet him." ”

"Sister, do you want me to invite the second young master?"

Mei Niang has also been in Qingzhou for a long time, so she has naturally heard of the name of Master Zheng, and when she thinks of what he has done, she can't help but worry about Wang Qifang.

"Hehe, Mei Niang, don't worry, he's here to beg me."

Wang Qifang shook her head, she was already a little embarrassed to live in the Qian family, how could she dare to bother other other people's money for such a trivial matter?

Came to the front hall, sat in the hall, and asked lightly through the screen, "I have heard the name of Master Zheng for a long time, but I don't know why Master Zheng came to see Mrs. Ben today?" ”

"Little Zheng Sanyang, meet Mrs. Zhongyi"

Wang Qifang called herself Mrs. Ben, that is, to meet guests in the name of Mrs. Zhongyi, Rao is Zheng Sanyang is unwilling, and he also wants to pay homage according to the big ceremony.

After Zheng Sanyang finished saluting, Wang Qifang said leisurely, "Master Zheng doesn't need to be polite, come, show Master Zheng a seat."

"Thank you, ma'am"

Zheng Sanyang leaned over, half-sat on the chair, and heard Wang Qifang ask him, 'What's the matter', he quickly stood up again, and said, "I heard that Mrs. wants to develop the island?" ”
