Chapter 43 Nanxun Establishes 'Jun'an Bureau'

Since Liu Yong was arrested by the "spear" and Liu Yong made 20,000 catties of rice for them, in just over a day, the "spear" in Nanxun Town has not been seen to burn the house again, the shops have been opened one after another, and the pedestrians on the street have gradually increased. Nanxun's lifeless face began to regain its vitality.

Liu Yong came to Jili Village and found Song Hongsheng and Wang Baohe.

Liu Yong asked Song Hongsheng: How much raw silk is there in the warehouse?

Song Hongsheng said: There are probably more than 200 packs.

Liu Yong said: Then you have to have two boats.

Song Hongsheng said in surprise: Could it be that the owner still wants to transport the silk to Shanghai, and now there are "spears" everywhere, so it is not peaceful, and it is not dangerous?

Liu Yong said: There should be no big problem from Nanxun to Zhenze, and there is a waterway for nearly an hour on the road from Zhenze to Pingwang, which is a bit troublesome. Fortunately, the river in this area is wide, and it will be safe after Pingwang.

Song Hongsheng said again: Then how to get out of Nanxun?

Liu Yong said: There is no big problem in going out of Nanxun, and I met with Huang Baojin, the leader of the Taiping Army in Nanxun, and yesterday I helped them solve 20,000 catties of rice.

Song Hongsheng sighed, and said: Then can you simply ask him to send a few brothers to escort Pingwang?

Liu Yong said: Hey, this is a good way, you can try it. In that case, Bao and you will prepare the ship, and Hong Sheng will prepare the goods and strive to load them tomorrow.

……

Liu Yong came to the Taiping army garrison, and there were four guards standing at the door. Liu Yong said to the guards: Liu Yong asks to see your king, and he has something important to tell him.

The guards reported in, and then brought Liu Yong into the hall.

Huang Wenjin sat on the Taishi's chair, saw Liu Yong come in, and gave up his seat. Then he said: Boss Liu is looking for this king, what is the matter?

After Liu Yong sat down, he said: When the officers and men of your army first arrived in Nanxun, they saw that the soldiers of your army were short of goods, and they really couldn't bear it.

This sentence made Huang Wenjin very happy.

Liu Yong also said: When I go to Shanghai, I will persuade those fellow villagers to come back. Only when those bosses are paid, your army can have taxes and survive.

Huang Wenjin was overjoyed when he heard it. said: Boss Liu is reasonable, and he is reasonable.

Liu Yong knew it in his heart, and then said: I really don't hide it in front of the king, I need a lot of silver to go shopping this time, and the money for 20,000 catties of rice yesterday has not been paid. There is no way to do it, so I can only ship the remaining stock of raw silk to Shanghai for sale, otherwise, Qiao's daughter-in-law will not be able to cook without rice.

When Huang Wenjin heard this, he didn't think about it, and said repeatedly: Okay! Good! That's it.

Liu Yong then said embarrassedly: In the next, this is, this is a little worried.

Huang Wenjin patted his chest and said: With this king here, what else do you have to worry about?

Liu Yong was secretly happy, pretending to be embarrassed and said: Now there are garrisons everywhere, I can't tell which department it belongs to, and there are cards along the way, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass; In addition, bandits appear from time to time along the way, and once the materials are robbed, it will be difficult to lose both people and money.

Huang Wenjin said: That's easy to do, on the road from Nanxun to Pingwang, on each boat, I will send four soldiers for each of you to escort you through the Jiapu Pass. On the way back, I will write you a road, who dares to withhold the king's supplies?

Huang Wenjin's words were right in Liu Yong's heart, and he was secretly overjoyed.

On the morning of the next day, two boats full of raw silk, Song Hongsheng, Wang Bao and escorting the boat, Liu Yong himself also accompanied the boat, just in case, at the bow and stern, there were two guards with big knives and red tassel guns, and set off from Nanxun.

The boat passed Zhenze and had just entered Baiyangdian, when suddenly, several small boats sprang out of the reeds, and there were five or six people on each boat, holding big knives and red tassel guns in their hands, gradually approaching the silk boat from all sides.

Song Hongsheng and Wang Baohe, who were sitting in the cabin, were already trembling with fright. Liu Yong was quite calm, and he waited to see how things changed.

At this time, I only heard a guard standing at the bow of the ship say: May I ask which flag you are, this soldier is a subordinate of Huang Wenjin, and he is doing routine business for my king.

The other party heard that he was doing routine business for Huang Wenjin on the other side, but he didn't say a word, and the boat immediately turned around and got into the reeds.

There was a false alarm, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

When they arrived at Jiapu Pass, 8 guards jumped ashore, and the boat entered the Huangpu River smoothly.

The next day, the boat docked at Dada Pier, and Tang Yanghe and Ah Rong were already waiting at the pier. Due to the chaos, the silk line has been out of stock. The silk was traded at the wharf, and Liu Yong sold it at a good price.

After the transaction was completed, Liu Yong handed over the follow-up work to Song Hongsheng, Wang Baohe, and A Rong, and returned to Feixia Road.

Seeing that Liu Yong came back, Yuhui was pregnant with Liujia, and she was about to give birth, so she came out with a big belly and Hong Ying with Dongmei and Qiumei.

Yuhui said to Liu Yong: It's really a little uneasy for you to go to your hometown alone.

Hong Ying also said with concern: You, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, you still prefer to go to the tiger mountain, that is death! The world is not so peaceful, you come and go alone, in case there is an accident, how to be good.

Liu Yong spread his hands and said with a smile: Look, I'm not good, there's nothing missing on my body. He also said: The whole house is occupied with "spears", but fortunately, the house is still the same, and nothing has been ruined.

I heard that there was a "spear" at home, which scared Yuhui and Hong Ying into a cold sweat.

Liu Yong smiled and said: It's okay, it's okay, it's not so scary, otherwise, how can I come back well? Then he asked Yuhui: How is your health? How about the son?

Yu Hui crossed her mouth and said: How is my son, you can see for yourself.

Liu Yong ran into the house in three steps and two steps, picked up his son from the cradle, kissed him, and put it down. said to Hong Ying again: The family has worked hard for you, and you have to take care of it. I'm going to go to Grandpa Gu's for a while.

Liu Yong went out.

Gu Fuchang's family.

I heard that Liu Yong came back from Nanxun, and Zhang Songxian also came to inquire about the news, and everyone was worried about Nanxun's silk line.

Liu Yong briefed Gu Fuchang on this return to Nanxun and the situation of the Taiping army in Nanxun.

Gu Fuchang sighed and said: Whether it is the imperial court or the Taiping army, there is no dynasty that is not for its own interests. We're all here waiting, sitting and eating. Let's go back together, and if we encounter problems, we can have a discussion.

Zhang Songxian said: I also want to go home, but I am very panicked! I've heard that long hair is meant to eat people!

Liu Yong smiled and said: Do you believe this kind of nonsense? Although the long hair is powerful, but before the rebellion, he was also a good citizen, like you and me, some are in business, some are farming, and some are running boats, but they are also forced to have no choice, so they rise up. I've seen the gambling king, and it's not too scary, he just wants to force our silk industry peers to return to Nanxun as soon as possible to resume business.

At first, everyone still had some scruples, but after Liu Yongyi said, everyone was relieved and decided to go back to Nanxun to have a look.

The next day, Gu Fuchang, Pang Yunzeng, Zhang Songxian and others returned to Nanxun with Liu Yong's cargo ship.

When the ship arrived at Jiapu Pass, wouldn't the Taiping army be happy to see two boats full of belongings? Lives docked.

Liu Yong went ashore and unhurriedly took out a road slip signed by Huang Wenjin himself. When the Taiping army saw that it was Huang Wenjin's goods, they had to sigh and let them go.

When he arrived in Nanxun, Liu Yong took Gu Fuchang, Pang Yunzeng, Zhang Songxian and others straight to the Taiping Army garrison.

At the Taiping Army station, Liu Yong introduced Gu Fuchang, Zhang Songxian, Pang Yunzeng and others to Huang Wenjin, and told Huang Wenjin that two ships of daily necessities were ordered to be unloaded.

Huang Wenjin was overjoyed, pointed at Liu Yong and said: Boss Liu is really a promise. Admiration, admiration. Order everyone to sit down.

Liu Yong said: Putting credibility first is the criterion for life. He looked at Gu Fuchang, Pang Yunzeng and others who were present. And then he said, "I also learned from you below."

Huang Wenjin nodded slightly.

Liu Yong also said: Several of you here in Nanxun are all everyone, and they are also pioneers of their careers. In particular, Gu Gonggong is highly respected, and the king intends to prosper Nanxun, so he can discuss good strategies with them.

Gu Fuchang also interjected and said: The king doesn't know, maybe the people have misunderstood your army, before the arrival of your army, many families have moved to other places, and now Nanxun's assets are less than three-tenths of what you did before the arrival of your army, and many houses have also been destroyed. If you want Nanxun to prosper, you must persuade everyone to come back and regain your strength. It is beneficial to local prosperity and your army's tax revenue, and the market is prosperous and the supply is sufficient, which is also beneficial to stabilizing your military's morale.

Huang Wenjin said with a rare smile: Your old sentence is reasonable.

Gu Fuchang said again: Now that the people don't even dare to go out, how can they talk about living and working in peace and contentment? Businessmen can't go out and can't get in, how can the market prosper?

Huang Wenjin was thoughtful. Say, "There is truth to that." In this way, our department has set up a 'Jun'an Security Bureau' to ensure the safety of all business vessels.

Gu Fuchang, Pang Yunzeng, Liu Yong and others all said: If this is the case, it would be better.
