Chapter Seventy-One: Moves
Everyone held Wu Nian, not to offend, and to stay away. The banquet is also delicious, the big guy pushes the cup and changes the lamp, and the wind is whirling, so he eats the dishes on the banquet.
Although Wu Nian didn't make up any money, he ate the most. Those who practice martial arts consume a lot.
Especially as the body gets stronger and stronger, Wu Nian's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and he has the potential to become a rice bucket.
Waiting for Wu Nian to put down his chopsticks, Chen Jinshi stood up and greeted with a smile: "Come, brothers come with me to the hall to have a cup of tea." β
"Okay."
Li Kun and Zhu Xiaoqi responded together, and came to the hall with Chen Jinshi and sat down. Soon after, a maid came in with a teacup and placed them on the coffee table one by one.
Wu Nian took a sip of the teacup, raised his eyebrows, this tea is okay.
"It's before the rain. Lord Banner will really enjoy it. Wu Dangkou's eyes lit up, and after drinking two more sips, he put it down, looking like an old man from the countryside.
This pre-rain Longjing is common in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is not common in the north. Even fewer are transported to Liaodong, and there are not many people who can afford to drink this small tea in 100 households.
Li Kun smiled slightly and drank tea with a posture. The rest of the small flags couldn't wait to taste it, and they looked the same as Wu Dangkou.
Chen Jinshi's face showed a smug look, but he said modestly: "It's before the rain." But before the rain last year, I bought a pound to fill the faΓ§ade. β
"Even before the rain last year, it was before the rain. I don't drink it more than a few times a year. Wu Dangkou shook his head and said sincerely.
After everyone finished eating this tea, Chen Jinshi asked the maid to come in and brewed hot water again.
"Brothers. I'll tell you something. Chen Jinshi raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, put down the tea cup in his hand, and his expression became serious.
"What's the matter?" Li Kun asked curiously.
Nor is there an antagonism between the general flag and the general flag. He and Cheng Gao have most personal grievances, and they have no grievances with Chen Jinshi, and the two sides are harmonious.
Everyone, including Wu Nian, also pricked up their ears and waited for the following.
"I got some news that the current situation in Liaodong is not very optimistic. The Mengyuan people are getting stronger and stronger. If they go south this year, they may hit us. β
Chen Jinshi shook his head and sighed.
"Beishan Fort is so far behind, if the Mengyuan people hit us, wouldn't Liaodong be about to fall?"
"The three counties of the five prefectures in Liaodong, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, are they all vegetarians?" Wu Dangkou said in surprise.
"yes. Is the situation ahead really so miserable? β
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. We need to prepare sooner. β
The faces of the little flags became serious, and they all exchanged their heads and ears.
"That's right. Need to prepare early. If the Mengyuan people really break through Liaodong, then we can only run south, run into Shanhaiguan, and go to live near Gyeonggi. β
"People can walk, property can walk. But Tian Zhai couldn't go. I have already started selling the Chen family's land in Beishan Fort and the county seat. β
"Today, I'm a wake-up call for my brothers."
Chen Jinshi's face showed a look of pride, picked up the teacup, and drank it.
During this time, he quietly sold a lot of his family's land one after another.
He got a bargain for it.
And after these small flags go back, they begin to sell land and shops in large quantities, which will lead to a drop in prices and a lot of property shrinkage.
After listening to Chen Jinshi's analysis, the little flags were a little panicked. Everyone is an official and is good at land annexation, who doesn't have a land of one or two hundred acres?
If the land is worthless, will it not cost them their lives?
Li Kun picked up the teacup, looked at Chen Jinshi's face while drinking tea, and said secretly in his heart: "This guy is betting that Liaodong will be finished, and he has made up his mind to retreat to Shanhaiguan to live again." β
"When the time comes, the defeated troops will all retreat. And after the Mengyuan people occupy Liaodong, the troops will be even stronger. The imperial court had to conscript soldiers and horses. This guy is a generational military household, and he is also a general banner. With all your strength, you may be able to make a hundred households and a thousand households. It's really cunning. β
"Should I sell?"
Li Kun's heart hesitated, if the big guys were sure that Liaodong would be attacked by Meng Yuan, then he could only sell the land cheaply.
But on the other hand, if the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Liaodong held Liaodong, then the land was still very valuable.
It's a gamble.
Li Kun looked up at Wu Nian, this old brother is not only fierce, but also has many ghost ideas. He was slightly stunned, Wu Nian took a small sip of the teacup, he was really as steady as Mount Tai, calm and relaxed.
"With such an old god here, he must have an idea in his heart, ask him later." Li Kun was settled, and put his right leg on his left leg, and Erlang's leg was swinging gracefully.
In fact, in his heart, he was also a little afraid of Wu Nian.
This brother is really fierce.
But this brother is really reliable.
Follow this brother, you won't suffer a big loss.
Chen Jinshi looked at the small flags or panicked or worried expressions, and smiled slightly. This is also a kind of prestige. Prove that he has someone above him and is well-informed.
Chen Jinshi quickly noticed Wu Nian's expression, and his eyes couldn't help but condense slightly.
This guy is so calm.
Wu Nian conspired with Li Kun to swallow Cheng Gao's 500 acres of land in Beishan Fort. It's an open secret. As one of the few big landowners in Beishan Fort, Wu Nian should be worried and frightened.
But.
Why wasn't he worried, why wasn't he panicking?
Chen Jinshi was very unhappy in his heart, but he quickly calmed down. He was originally going to find fault with Wu Nian today.
He paused for a moment, watching and listening to the little flags whispering about the land, and waited for the topic to fade away.
Chen Jinshi suddenly turned his head and asked Wu Nian, "Wu Xiaoqi." I heard that you recruited Zhang Jin from Phoenix Mountain as a soldier? β
Wu Nian is a little inexplicable, isn't this something that has been made public?
Wu Nian glanced at Chen Jinshi and smelled a little danger. He nodded and said, "Yes." β
"It is rumored that Zhang Jin killed people for his friends, and he is a capable and righteous person. Can Wu Xiaoqi send someone to call him over, let us open our eyes. β
Chen Jinshipi smiled and said with a smile.
He didn't think about killing Wu Nian, he just wanted to hit Wu Nian's arrogance and establish the prestige of his small banner.
This time, he had already prepared, that is, to beat Zhang Jin down.
Wu Nian frowned slightly, but soon stretched it out, and said happily: "What is this?" Zhang Jin was outside, and Chen Zongqi asked the housekeeper to take him in. β
He didn't know what the hell Chen Jinshi was going to do, but there was nothing to be afraid of.
I really want to bully my Wu Nian, but I don't know who bullied whom.
