Chapter 200: Debt Repayment
Twelve women rushed to work overnight.
Early the next morning.
When Luo Heng woke up from the wooden box.
Everyone has been dressed in brand new clothes.
Tie Lan was still holding a man's flag suit in her hand and handed it to Luo Heng.
chuckled and said, "Sir, the sisters have also made you a gift, and I don't know if you like it or not......"
Luo Heng took it with a smile.
Shake the clothes away.
It was found to be a flag outfit with fine stitches and tight buckles.
Apparently it took a lot of thought.
Luo Heng smiled and nodded: "Not bad, it's good......"
As he spoke, he casually put his hand aside.
Among the women, a girl with a petite figure and a small face of melon seeds saw that Luo Heng did not immediately put it on her body and try it, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Luo Heng stood up.
Facing the women, he said: "I mentioned it to Tielan last night, we have to discuss it, and everyone should do something in the future."
"Now I want to ask you again, what do you want to do? Or to put it another way.
"What are you going to do for a living?"
The women looked at each other.
Tie Lan said a little shyly: "I...... I will farm...... I can also play tricks, I used to follow my father and sister, and I sold art when I was in the market......"
Luo Heng nodded encouragingly: "This is good, what about the others?" Do you guys have any ideas? ”
Finally, the petite girl in the crowd spoke timidly.
"I can weave cloth and make clothes......
"I can also make clothes, embroider ......"
Someone took the lead, and everyone finally had courage.
Twelve women spoke.
Luo Heng listened silently for a moment.
Shaking his head and sighing: "This can't be done, there are twelve of you, five of you can farm, and the rest are weaving and spinning to make clothes."
"Then have you ever thought about how much needlework you have to do in this world?
"I'll let you get the job of sewing and tailoring for people.
"Then have you ever thought about what people like the Shahe Gang will do if they find you?"
The women's eyes instinctively showed panic.
Some people couldn't even help it, and their bodies trembled slightly.
The name of the Shahe Gang has left a deep wound on them, and they have already had a stress reaction to this name.
Luo Heng struck while the iron was hot and continued: "We were born in such an era, and we can't choose.
"However, what I want to tell you today is that we can't sit idly by and let wicked people like the Shahe Gang bully us."
The women were a little dazed, and they couldn't quite understand the meaning of Luo Heng's words.
But Luo Heng didn't think about it, so that they could understand their words now.
He only continued: "The house you live in now originally belonged to the Shahe Gang.
"Have you ever wondered why you all lived well before and didn't provoke those people?
"But they kidnapped you, bullied you, and sold you like goods to those foreigners for fun?
"And now you can live in the Shahe Gang's house openly?"
The women were silent.
Luo Heng didn't expect them to answer his own questions.
Raising his voice, he said loudly, "That's because I beat those crumbs away."
"The reason why they can kidnap you is because they think they are better than you, and you, your family, can't fight them.
"And now I'm better than them, so their stuff is mine!"
Luo Heng didn't know his crooked reasoning.
What kind of effect will it have.
But what he said was pretty cool anyway.
These women were educated by the ideology of feudal theory.
has been lost by cans since she was a child, and a woman's lack of talent is virtue.
In addition to weaving and spinning, women's red needlework.
Only husband and child are left, and abide by women's morals.
That's not going to work.
The idea in Luo Heng's heart is to leave some seeds in this world that are different from the previous world.
Since God let him cross over.
Saved them on the first day.
Then, let's start with them.
Luo Heng also wanted to instill in them the correct socialist values.
But that's not realistic.
It's not a question of how many books you've read and whether you can read or not.
It's that their minds have been solidified from the roots.
Luo Heng had already learned that among the twelve women, the eldest Tielan, was only nineteen years old.
The youngest was a little girl, only fourteen years old.
But women in this era are generally precocious.
In many places, it is common for 14-year-olds to be mothers.
Their ideas have been formed.
If you want to transform them, you can only take fierce medicine!
"Now, I'll tell you one more thing, though I don't quite agree with that myself.
"But from the perspective of the current universal values, I saved you from the hands of the Sand River Gang through hard fighting.
"I've given you a choice, I can send you home if you want.
"But you all choose to stay, so can I think so, you will be my people in the future?"
Tielan's mouth moved, and she instinctively felt that this statement made her uncomfortable.
However, the social education received from childhood to adulthood.
It also made her feel that Luo Heng's words didn't seem to be wrong.
She couldn't think of a reason to refute......
Maybe deep down, I don't want to refute it.
Luo Heng waited for a moment.
Seeing that no one spoke out against himself.
There is a faint disappointment in my heart, what a group of people who have been trained very thoroughly!
Luo Heng shook his head and continued: "Now I ask one last time, among you, is any of you willing to go home?"
"As long as you stand up now, I promise that I will definitely send you home, and I will also help you and your family explain.
"Maybe I can leave a sum of money enough for your family to regain your money......"
The women were silent.
Only in this day and age, I have heard and seen people who have had similar experiences with them.
will understand the misery and sorrow of being crushed to death by words!
No one has come forward yet.
Luo Heng then continued: "Okay, remember your choice today.
"In the future, if one day, when some of you are shaken in your heart, think about what kind of state of mind is today, here and now!"
Luo Heng slowly put away the smile on his face and squinted slightly.
His gaze swept over the faces of the twelve women.
When his gaze met them, Luo Heng would pause for a moment.
Without exception.
All the women finally lowered their heads shyly, avoiding Luo Heng's gaze.
"Raise your head!"
Luo Heng suddenly shouted.
Everyone was shocked, but everyone didn't dare to disobey Luo Heng's words.
They all looked up obediently.
Luo Heng nodded with satisfaction and continued: "I don't need you to farm here, and I don't need a tailor here......
Tielan was a little ashamed and wanted to bow her head.
In the crowd, the most petite woman subconsciously looked at her toes.
Luo Heng noticed the change.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he shouted again: "Raise your head, I don't want to say it a third time."
"If anyone can't remember, please leave and go home on their own.
"Those who want to stay with me better remember everything I say in the future."
The women raised their heads again and looked at Luo Heng.
The youngest woman already had tears rolling in her eyes.
At this time, Luo Heng didn't have the heart to pity the jade.
These twelve women.
They are all carefully selected by the Shahe Gang.
The posture is all superior, and it is in the prime of youth cardamom.
There is no power to protect yourself.
Their appearance is their original sin.
Not to mention the troubled times that last survived in this feudal dynasty.
Even if it is the era of the rule of law in later generations.
There are people who take risks for this.
"I hope you will remember what I said today.
"I'm going to give you enough food and money. And there's only one thing you have to do.
"That is to master power, and only strong enough power can protect what you hold dear, including yourselves."
These women.
Luo Heng didn't expect them to practice advanced kung fu.
In fact, can they do the routine well.
Luo Heng didn't expect much.
All he wants is to train them to shatter the stubborn concepts of husbands and children in their minds from the past.
In the backpack space, Luo Hengke still has dozens of Thompsons.
No matter how bad it is, with Luo Heng's ability and money.
At this time, an entire advanced armed army may be struggling.
It is not difficult to arm such a dozen or so women's elite squads.
After saving them yesterday, Luo Heng thought about it all afternoon.
Combined with the previous thoughts when recuperating from injuries at the Xiangzhi Pavilion.
Luo Heng felt that he needed warriors, not a bunch of tailors and peasants!
Call Tielan aside.
Law Heng began to explain the practice of Wing Chun.
This was specially selected by Luo Heng.
Among the boxing techniques he knows, there are two suitable for women to practice.
Baguazhang, Wing Chun.
There is no special reason why I chose Wing Chun in the end.
Choose one of the two, and the 50% chance will fall on Wing Chun, it's as simple as that!
Teach simple routines first.
Tielan has a foundation and is quick to get started.
Luo Heng only spoke a few times, and corrected her movements a few times.
And he fought in style.
But even though it was fast enough, it was half of the morning.
Luo Heng pointed to the box of canned food that he took out yesterday.
He said to them, "This is the canned beef you ate yesterday."
"It doesn't taste great, but it provides you with enough nutrients.
"Today you will find a way to open it yourself. Tell me what tools you are missing, and I'll help you find them for a while.
"Of course, you also have to adapt as soon as possible, and you will have to rely on yourself for these things in the future, and you will not be a burden to me if you stay.
"I'm not used to taking care of people......"
After saying these words, Luo Heng walked away with his hands behind his back.
Let these women figure out how to open the cans themselves.
Tielan stepped forward, took out the cans from the box, and distributed them to the sisters.
The small woman took the can and looked cautiously in the direction of Luo Heng.
He said softly: "Sister Lan, obviously this canned meat tastes very good, why does Mr. keep saying that it is not delicious?" ”
Tie Lan was stunned and laughed quietly: "Mr. wants the sisters to understand that as long as they listen to him, this delicious canned beef."
"Actually, it's nothing, there will be more and better things to eat for everyone in the future."
The little girl nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely listen to Mr."
"I don't know what it will be if it's better than canned beef."
Distance.
Luo Heng was stunned and speechless.
Mom, he's overlooked one thing.
That is, in this era, everyone rarely eats beef.
Most people's families, occasionally a little fishy, are also close to the men in the family to eat first.
Women like them, who are favored at home, may be able to share some residual soup.
If you are not favored or unlucky, you will be born in a family with a strong patriarchal concept.
You may not be able to eat meat once in a few years.
Luo Heng read a piece of information in his previous life.
It's about a woman in a remote mountainous area whose home is only five kilometers away from the county seat.
She lived to be seventy years old and never went once......
Five kilometers of distance, seventy years! Born in the village, married in the village, his steps have never stepped out of this range......
Tielan and the others were holding the tin can.
There are quite a few tigers eating hedgehogs, and they don't know what to say.
Yesterday, when they saw Luo Heng, it was so simple.
It doesn't seem to have made much effort.
As a result, they themselves learned from Luo Heng's appearance, and two or three people couldn't unscrew the ends of the cans together.
How do they know?
This kind of tin can, even those World War II soldiers.
They are all to be fired with daggers and sabers.
The reason why Luo Heng looked so relaxed.
It is completely based on the strength of the hands and the kung fu of cutting gold and jade.
is like the Kuang Yimin who was beaten to death by Luo Heng in Shanghai before.
In the movie, in front of Double Happiness, he showed his kung fu.
A whole pear is grasped in the hand.
A mistake in both hands.
The pear pit can be removed intact without damage to the flesh.
This is a subtle grasp of dark energy.
Just as the women gathered around, discussing whether to let the eldest sister Tielan come over and ask Luo Heng for help.
From a distance, Luo Heng noticed.
There were several men, walking in groups.
Luo Heng's eyes narrowed.
It's finally here!
Previously, this small pier was the territory of the Sand River Gang.
It's not a thoroughfare, either.
I took more than a dozen women with me, and I stayed here for so long, and no one asked.
Luo Heng wouldn't think that he had killed those people in the Shahe Gang.
It's really your own.
Which of those gangs really came up step by step from the gangsters?
The Fuqing Gang of the previous world.
Behind it is Liu Dashuai.
Behind the Green Gang is the one behind Sheng Qi.
Even the Axe Gang, which has just gained momentum, has Xiang Feitian, the inspector of the French Concession, behind him.
The Sand River Gang is a gang that started in a small town.
There won't be much of a strong figure behind it.
However, at least it must be covered in the sand river.
Otherwise, how could they occupy a small dock and be happy?
What a fucking free and easy underworld.
In the end, it's just a night pot for some people.
Luo Heng took the initiative to step forward.
The group was headed by a fat old man in a flag suit and a melon skin hat.
He has a big belly and a pair of eyes with deep bags under his eyes.
The eyes are very small.
At first glance, I thought he hadn't opened his eyes.
With the height that is only enough for Luo's chest, it is a toad walking upright.
was stopped by Luo Heng on the road.
The guy squinted and glared at the women on the dock.
Luo Heng chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "I don't know what happened to a few people coming?" ”
The fat man didn't seem to hear Luo Heng's words, and he didn't look at Luo Heng.
Behind him, a thin man who contrasted with the fat old man's body stepped forward.
The voice was unruly: "Who are you?" This wharf is the property of our old man's family, and it was rented to the Shahe Gang in the past.
"Yesterday someone found out that a few of you were sneaking around here and occupying other people's houses.
"You are a man, and you bring so many women to live here, our lord came to ask what kind of ghost is it doing."
Luo Heng sneered: "Look at the fat old man, presumably this is the old man Qin in your Excellency's mouth?" ”
The thin man replied: "Yes, this is our Master Qin, the first good family in Shahe Town." ”
Luo Heng grinned and said, "The House of the First Good? I don't know what good Master Qin has done? ”
The thin man looked disdainful: "Looking at your appearance as a fake foreign devil, you know that you haven't read any books."
"The House of the First Kindness...... It's not ......"
Luo waved his hand to interrupt the guy hanging the book bag.
"You don't have to talk nonsense, I understand what Shoushan means, that is, you are rich.
"Since you said that Master Qin is rich and likes to do good deeds, then you have come at the right time.
"The dozen or so women over there are all poor people who were abducted by the Shahe Gang in the past and are ready to be sold to the West.
"Now I'm living here with them. There is a lack of food and a lack of drink.
"Master Qin, let's fund it......"
Qin Fatzi finally couldn't hold back anymore.
A pair of squinting eyes suddenly widened, staring at Luo Heng: "What did you say?" ”
Luo Heng couldn't help but laugh when he looked like this.
Toad eyes open!
smiled: "It doesn't mean anything else, you rent the dock to the Shahe Gang, how much is the rent?" ”
The thin man hurriedly said again: "Such a good wharf is conducive to sailing, and the goods in the town can also go here."
"At least a thousand taels of silver a year."
Luo Heng nodded and smiled: "Okay, one thousand taels is one thousand taels, I don't plan to toss in a short time."
"I'm going to live here for 10 or 8 years.
"Just make it up, count it for ten years, 10,000 taels of silver, take it......"
"What did you bring it?" The thin man was stunned and asked subconsciously.
Luo Heng chuckled: "Silver, isn't it a thousand taels a year?" Ten thousand taels for ten years, say okay, I want cash, I don't think I'm troublesome with silver tickets......"
"You're fucking me?"
The thin man blew his beard in anger.
Old Master Qin frowned and glared at Luo Heng, and asked, "Your Excellency can grab this dock with the help of Shahe, that's your Jianghu people's business."
"But this is the Shahe Gang, and I am from the same clan as the new prefect of Foshan.
"If you dare to go wild here, believe it or not, a letter from me will make you unable to eat and walk around."
"It turns out that Master Qin still has such a relationship with the prefect?"
Luo Heng smiled lightly and said, "But so what? Paying off debts is a matter of course!
"Could it be that the prefect can help his fellow clan to repay the debt?"
"You...... When did the old man owe you money? ”
Master Qin was almost angry by Luo Heng's words.
Pointing at Luo Heng and scolding: "My Qin family has lived in Shahe Town for eight generations.
"The surrounding hillsides, rivers, paddy fields and dry land are all the private property of our Qin family.
"Around Shahe Town, there are thousands of families in several villages, and the fields they plant are all surnamed Qin.
"How dare you blackmail me today? I don't think you want to live......"
