"Anger is not good for the liver, come, eat a chicken wing first to dissipate the gas."

Song Che took off the two chicken wings and handed them to He Qiu and Xu Xiao.

He Qiu stared at the chicken wings for a long time, and then glared at Song Che again: "If you knew what they did, you would never be so calm." ”

Song Che calmly roasted the chicken wings, anyway, it had nothing to do with him.

"They poked the entire Han people in the back!"

He Qiu said angrily: "In the early hours of last night, at the gates of Suzhou City and Xiuzhou City, a basket of bloody human heads was placed on each side, all of them were ordinary people who were plagued by the Japanese Bandits, and their arrogance was simply outrageous!" ”

Song Che frowned, these gangs were able to send their heads outside Suzhou City silently, not only arrogant, but also provocative.

He sighed lightly, "What do you want me to do?" What can I do? ”

"You have suppressed bandits in Qili Mountain, and you have suppressed the Japanese in Hangzhou, Xiuzhou and Suzhou are friends, Xiuzhou has changed, and Suzhou is not peaceful."

"Lord He, you think too highly of me-"

"If I look down on you, why should I visit you personally!"

Hearing He Qiu say this, Song Che felt very comfortable for some reason.

Song Che didn't answer for the time being, sprinkled a pinch of salt on the chicken wings, and muttered, "I'm a businessman, I have to do something......

He Qiu said: "The world is peaceful, you can sprinkle more salt on the chicken wings!" ”

Song Che shook his head: "I'm not that great. ”

"You!"

He Qiu scolded: "Profiteer! ”

Throwing up his sleeves, he asked, "What do you want?" ”

Song Che didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said: "Five hundred catties of pig iron and two hundred catties of black powder." ”

"Are you crazy? Do you know how many people have been beheaded for these things throughout the ages? He Qiu couldn't believe it.

Song Che winked at him: "That's why I have to ask Lord He."

He Qiu gritted his teeth, for a long time, and sighed laxly: "These are sensitive things, you must not do sensitive things." ”

"Adults put a hundred hearts, I have my own measure."

Song Che skewered another chicken wing, and handed it to He Qiu with a smile: "Try it, you're welcome." ”

He Qiu reluctantly took the chicken wings, took a small bite, his eyes instantly lit up, and sighed: "I hope your idea can be as good as the taste of this chicken wing."

Song Che took some fresh chicken wings and put them on the barbecue grill, and asked while changing the knife with scissors, "How many rogues are there in Shanghai?" ”

Xu Xiao said: "They are a group of twenty or thirty people, there are five or six groups, along the coastline, specifically attacking villages and towns, running away after the scourge, we are very passive." ”

"There's no fleet, right?" Song Che asked again.

Xu Xiao shook his head: "It's just some wanderers, and the pirate ship hasn't been found yet." ”

"How many troops do we have?" Song Che asked again.

Xu Xiao said: "With the reinforcements sent by Suzhou, there are more than 2,500 people in total. ”

"Hmm......" Song Che brushed the oil on the chicken wings over and over again, and when he brushed it for the eighth time, he suddenly thought about it and said:

"The rat got into the hole after stealing the oil, and the tiger can't catch it no matter how fierce it is, so why not change the way of thinking, since they are mice, we just turn into cats and play a game of cat and mouse with them.

You go and tell Xiuzhou that the 2,500 soldiers will all take off their armor, put on lighter cloth clothes and swords, and take a group of 50 people to learn how to run around the coastal areas of Xiuzhou;

Each person and each team should be equipped with chariots and horses as much as possible, and they must have fire meteors on their bodies, and once they find the Japanese invaders, they will send a signal to notify;

With such a large density of troops, there will definitely be friendly troops hovering nearby, and once they see the signal, they will rush to support. ”

Xu Xiao objected: "It's not that I have the ambition of others to destroy my own prestige, these wandering Japanese bandits, the combat strength of small groups is not low, and the officers and soldiers of a team of fifty people are very likely not to be their opponents." ”

"To the point." Song Che did not deny it: "The Japanese are all ronin warriors, who fight fiercely all year round, and their methods are cruel, with the combat effectiveness of our Jiangnan old soldiers, three fights and one may not be able to gain the upper hand, so-

The state government should unite and issue a reward announcement, calling on people all over the world to cooperate with officers and soldiers to fight against the Japanese invaders;

I have come into contact with a lot of heroes in the rivers and lakes, and there are many people with strong martial arts, and their strength should be reused. ”

"Jianghu people?" A trace of disdain flashed in He Qiu's eyes, "Those so-called 'chivalrous' wandering in the rivers and lakes are either criminals or on the road of crime, and they are called into the army, aren't they walking with hungry wolves?" ”

Song Che shook his head, "In the face of national righteousness, those who have a chivalrous heart will never stick to the subtleties - killing the Japanese can be guilty of meritorious service; Killing the Japanese can protect the family and defend the country; You can earn a reward for killing the pirates, so why not? ”

He looked at He Qiu: "As long as the government talks about faithfulness and righteousness, gives you what you deserve, and gets what they deserve, this matter will not be difficult to do." ”

What kind of thing are the widows?

A group of hooligans from a small country, the big beam can drown them with a mouthful of spit.

The fundamental reason why the Japanese are rampant is that the officialdom is corrupt and the military and the people cannot be united.

As far as Yangzhou's premeditated assassination of Gao Chen is concerned, some people actually use the Japanese as a weapon to achieve their political goals, which is really hateful, pathetic and pitiful.

"Okay, then let's try it as you want."

He Qiu spit out the chicken bones and left the small courtyard with Xu Xiao.

……

……

Heaven and earth change, endlessly.

The winter of the sixteenth year of the Yongan calendar.

Daliang and Xiqiang successfully formed an alliance to jointly flank and resist Dijon, and the war situation in the north was slowed down.

With the Lianghe River as the boundary, the Northern Liang and the Hu people sued for peace, and the war in the northwest that lasted for six years finally subsided for a short time.

The coastal plague is gradually fermenting, and the rogue and pirates have invaded most of the ports, among which Hebei, Jingdong, Huainan, and Fujian-Guangzhou are the most serious.

The expulsion of the Japanese is imminent!

……

……

A month later.

Song Che's "cat and mouse plan" successfully expelled Xiuzhou Liukou, the salt was re-transferred, and the salt price returned to normal.

On the tenth day of October, a light snow day.

Before the first snow in Suzhou, the weather has turned sharply cold, people have changed into thick jackets, and Yunshuifang has completely ushered in the off-season of business.

There is still the sun in the sky, but it is difficult to suppress the cold snap.

Song Che took out the charcoal in the brazier to make the temperature in the study warmer.

In his hand is the list of shopkeepers who have passed this assessment, a total of two men and six women, Lao Zhang from the field, Xu Nian from the dyeing workshop, Chen E and Wang Yue from the weaving workshop, Huang Mei and Zheng Juan from the embroidery room, Lin Guoer, the reception master of the store, and Cao Lin, the daughter of Cao Tian, who was rescued by Song Che from Luoyang and transferred to Cao Tian.

In addition to the carefully selected eight chief and deputy shopkeepers, Song Che also selected twelve backbone clerks according to the assessment results. In this way, four new stores, two shopkeepers, three employees, men and women, match each other, and the work is not tiring.

This month, more than 3,000 pieces of private houses were made in the market, and Song Che was afraid that the goods would be too monotonous, so he transferred 5,000 jars of pearl white jade paste from the jewelry store in Hangzhou.

Yangzhou is a beauty, and their money must be more profitable.

"Coo-coo-coo......" A few pigeon chirps rang out the window.

Song Che hurriedly pushed open the window, and a cold wind hit his face, making him shiver with cold. Outside the windowsill, a white dove combs its feathers.

"Thank you."

Song Che took the pigeon back, closed the window, grabbed the rice grain and fed it, took off the creed on its paws, and opened it to see, there were six small words:

"The transshipment envoy has arrived."

Song Che smiled and threw the creed into the brazier.

"Whew-"

The study door was suddenly pushed open.

Shen Wenjun hurriedly waved an invitation: "There is a happy event at home, there is a happy event at home!" Our untalented cousin is finally getting married. ”

Shen Fang has already married Song Che himself before the end of the year. Song Che smiled lightly and asked, "What is the wedding date?" ”

Shen Wenjun said: "On October 21, there are still eleven days. The goods for our new store are almost ready, why not get off early? ”

Let's go to Yangzhou...... Facing the Yang family, it must be very dangerous.

Song Che hugged his wife into his arms and said seriously: "Wenjun, our mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, you should stay and take care of her, the weather is so cold, why don't you go?" ”

Shen Wenjun pursed his lips and was categorical: "A hundred can't do it, a thousand don't want to, ten thousand-"

"Okay, well, when I didn't say it."

Just take good care of her.

"Even if you don't tell me, I know that this time I went to Yangzhou to fight against the Yang family," Shen Wenjun clenched Song Che's hand, sonorous and powerful:

"Husband and wife work together to break the gold!"

"Okay."

……

In the afternoon, Song Che first went to the Wang family's blacksmith shop.

These brothers, the hammer is really powerful, thick and fine, fine and coarse, and the quality of one hundred and twenty muskets is of the highest quality.

According to the previous agreement, ten taels of silver are a handful, and more than one hundred are counted as twenty taels, a total of 1,400 taels, deducting the original deposit of 500 taels, leaving 900 taels of the final payment, Song Che gave 1,000 taels, and the extra 100 taels as a reward.

"Blacksmith Wang, are you tired?"

"There is money to be made, not tired!"

"How about continuing to build? The price of a handful is raised to twelve taels, and it is as much as you want. ”

"Good God of Wealth!"

"May the power of the hammer be with you!"

The blacksmith shop made a profit of 1,500 taels a month, and after deducting pig iron materials, labor costs, and apprenticeship wages, the three brothers could benefit at least 300 taels a month, which was more than nine adults in Suzhou City.

After receiving the goods at the blacksmith shop, Song Che took the state government documents and went to the barracks to extract black powder.

Finally, he came to the wharf in the west of the city, rented a passenger boat, and asked Liu San'er to find a group of reliable helpers to carry muskets, gunpowder, bullets, private houses, and white jade paste all onto the ship.

Coming home at night,

Since the last time he fell into the water outside Luoyang City, most of the medicines brought from modern times have been lost.

The electric baton had been short-circuited and damaged, but fortunately, Song Che did not give up, and put it in the rice tank for half a month, and after drying, it miraculously "lived".

Shooting with muskets in long-range combat and using electric batons in melee defense were indispensable means of saving his life and controlling the enemy for a Muggle with no martial arts.

Fill the electric baton with a generator, take all the remaining twelve fire gourds with you, and fill the pistol with ammunition.

100,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels of gold, only with money can you have confidence-

Everything is ready, go straight to Yangzhou!
