Chapter 152: Outside the Wall
"Huxian, there are five villages in the east of the city fighting for water."
"Teach the sergeant of Suzhou Wei to stop it, and if you can stop it, you can't stop it...... Let's talk about it. ”
On the county office, Ning Jue had a little helplessness on his face.
There is no right or wrong in this kind of competition for water in the village, and in the past, it could only be adjusted by Zou Wang, which could not be suppressed, and the people naturally solved it by themselves.
The family Ding bowed his head and said: "Xian, there are still a few villages in the south of the city, I heard that it is a blood feud of several generations, and it was Zou Wang who forced it down earlier, and now I heard that it will be beaten." ”
"What blood feud?"
Only then did Gu Kexue speak: "It's nothing more than which village occupies a few more feet of land, helping each other with the same surname, attacking each other with different surnames, and fighting for a few words. ”
For a while, even Ning Jue was a little speechless.
"I didn't think that Zou Wang would be a little useful."
Gu Kexue also smiled bitterly: "Yes, in all fairness, Zou Wang's bullying and domination of the market, it is true in the fish and meat township, but suddenly there is no such person, and there will be chaos after all." ”
"This will go to Litian, those gentlemen are afraid that they can't even stop it."
The old order has collapsed, and everyone wants to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the chaos, so as to have more advantages in the next era.
When Ning Jue heard this, he picked up the black gauze hat and said, "Don't miss the opportunity, hurry up and take advantage of the chaos and no one will take care of us, let's go out of the city." ”
"Oh, you Xian, it just so happens that the officials of the county government have all returned, and they are vying to take us to Litian."
"They also took the initiative to divide the fields?"
Gu Kexue blurted out without raising his head: "What they take you is the fields of the neighboring villages. ”
Looking at Ning Jue's resolute and resolute departure, Gu Kexue couldn't help but sigh.
"But if you continue to make trouble like this, the impeachment of you Ning Kezhong's recital will also enter Beijing......"
Gu Kexue picked up a framed playbook from the bookcase and handed it to Gu Qinglang and said, "Qinglong, send this playbook to Jinling, and ask the family to help me hand it over." ”
Gu Qinglang only glanced at the notebook, and his face changed.
"The lord also wants to impeach the officials?"
"Everyone participates, I am a Wuxi person, I don't participate? Isn't this tantamount to telling the world that I helped Ning Ke end up in Wuxitian? More of me and less of me, it has nothing to do with his life or death, but it is related to the old man's net worth. ”
"At this time, I have to charge ahead, we have to protect ourselves first."
Hearing Gu Kexue say this, Gu Qinglang reluctantly left the county office.
When Zou Wang was alive, he was a huge rich man in the southeast, and now that Zou Wang is dead, this million-yuan family wealth will become a piece of fat in the southeast.
From princes and generals to peddlers and pawns, who doesn't want to come over and get a piece of the pie.
As soon as "Zou Wang" died, there was chaos inside and outside the city, everyone stared at the new and old hatreds at the door of their homes, and Litian's resistance was much smaller.
——
Wuxi rice market is the best in the world, and Zou Wang's development is at the beginning of the cloth wharf climate.
The Zou family's highest gold content is also more than 100 cloth shops in the south of Lianrong Bridge at the north gate of Wuxi.
And the next day, the disheveled Zou Laihe brothers also appeared on the Lotus Rong Bridge.
"Dad said it clearly before his death, these shops are divided between you and my brothers, why do you want me to have fifty each?"
"How about 50 each? Will each one be cut in half for you? ”
"Otherwise, the business of each cloth shop is different, and you take care of the business of this cloth shop on weekdays, how can you prove that there is no partiality?"
"Then it's all sold! Have we got the money? ”
"How not? Sell it, sell it, who is afraid of whom?! ”
Zou Laihe is 20 years old, and the two brothers are ten years apart, but they are evenly divided.
The Lianrong Bridge was already full of people, looking at the two sons and brothers who were really working in Wuxi yesterday with relish, and today they were bruised and swollen for their old man's property.
An hour later.
In the first cloth shop in the south of Lianrong Bridge, several accounting offices of the Hua family finally finished figuring out the abacus in their hands.
Zou Wang's second son, Zou Laipeng, stood up against his brother's black-eyed blue and asked excitedly, "How much silver?" ”
The head of the shopkeeper stretched out a palm.
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels?"
"Five thousand taels."
The expression on Zou Laipeng's face instantly froze when he heard this, and he froze in place, his fists clenched, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.
This is not only the 100 shops in the south of Lianrong Bridge, but also the business, looms, and inventory of these cloth shops.
150,000 taels is already Zou Laipeng's psychological limit.
Unexpectedly, the Hua family was only willing to give 5,000 taels.
What's the difference between this and a robbery?
Seeing his brother's emotions, it seems that something is wrong.
Zou Laihe hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, I have already brought all kinds of contracts, and we will go to the county office to deliver them sometime." ”
"Zou Gongzi laughed, the little ones should."
After sending away the Hua family's account, Zou Laihe turned around, but his brother was gone.
After some searching, I found Zou Laipeng from behind the counter.
At this time, Zou Laipeng was like a child, squatting behind the account with his arms and knees crossed, sobbing in a low voice.
"Brother, our father's family business that he has saved for 30 years will be ruined in a few days......"
The two unfilial sons who have already beaten the whole city, behind closed doors, the two brothers seem to have changed as if they have changed people.
Zou Laihe saw that there was no one around, so he casually took out two land deeds from his sleeve.
"Don't worry, I know it all in my heart, my father explained it before his death, these are all floating wealth, we brothers can't keep it, it's better to exchange it for peace."
"Ten years ago, my father surrounded a beach by Taihu Lake, and spent a lot of money to take care of it from the ground to the lake weir."
"No matter how dry the year, there will be no shortage of water in these 5,000 acres of land, and in a year of flooding, there will be a place for water in these 5,000 acres of land."
"The two of us have 2,500 acres each, and my father didn't end up in his own name, so he divided it directly for us, it's yours."
"Don't worry, these fields have already passed, and they are all on the field."
Looking at the title deed in his hand, Zou Laipeng's mood calmed down slightly.
Zou Laihe picked up a cup of tea and sighed: "When we finish dealing with my father's funeral, we don't want those houses or anything, they are all sold, and the whole family will move there directly." ”
"Your three nephews must have at least one Zhongjin Sergeant before our family can turn over."
"Dad can't cover us from the wind and rain for the rest of our lives."
After pondering for a long time, Zou Laipeng said in a low voice:
"Brother, I'll go study too."
On the official road between the north and the south, there is an endless stream of post guards coming and going between the two capitals.
Just after Gu Kexue blew the horn to impeach Ning Jue, the two Beijing and North and South Science and Technology officials worked together to take advantage of the chaos in Wuxi and began to reconstruct Ning Jue's image into a cool official.
After the chaos in Wuxi and the cutting off of this year's imperial grain, they can take advantage of the situation and target everything at the new law.
——
In late spring in March, the spring thunder rolled, and a continuous light rain swept the south of the Yangtze River.
"Ancestor, it's raining, should we go ashore?"
McFuy put down the tea cup in his hand, shook his head and said, "No, our boat is very stable." ”
"Zou Yuanwai, can you see it?"
Looking at everything that happened in the city, Zou Wang's brows tightened.
"At least a cloth business worth 200,000 taels of silver, he Hua Linxiang gave me 5,000 taels and sent it away, it's just too deceitful!"
"This is all the family business I have worked hard to save all my life!"
"These brutes! Brute! ”
"Father-in-law, I figured it out, I figured it all out, I'll follow you in the future......"
Zou Wang's pain is real.
But the rest of the things are not so true.
It's just that compared with McFuku, Zou Wang's acting skills are still worse.
Before Zou Wang finished speaking, an attendant standing next to McFuk directly pulled out the knife at his waist and put it on Zou Wang's neck.
"Outside Zou Yuan, our family suggests that you talk well, and you don't have to play with these things that you don't have."
Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from Zou Wang's forehead, and he froze in place and said continuously: "Father-in-law, yes, I'm pretending, don't, don't move the knife." ”
McFub glanced at the chamberlain beside him.
"Okay, put the knife away, Zou Yuanwai doesn't feel good in his heart."
"Seeing that the family business that I have worked hard for all my life is gone, who can be willing."
A wry smile appeared on Zou Wang's face.
"Father-in-law Mai is clear, I really don't feel good in my heart."
"But I also remember that most of my Zou family's family business was also obtained from Wuxi An's in this way."
"If it were him on this ship today, I would do the same."
McFuy smiled when he heard this: "I can't see that Zou is a stranger." ”
"There's no way, the grass people are businessmen, and when they can make profits, they can make money together, and if they can't make profits, they will fly separately."
"It's not a taste in my heart, it's not a taste, who let me plant Zou Wang."
"Besides, there is no friend in this world who can't be pierced by a needle or a gun."
Listening to Zou Wang's emotion, McFuy couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Transparent!"
"Officialdom shopping malls, in fact, are generally the same."
McFuy slowly stood up and said leisurely: "People always say that they are solid and solid. ”
"But if you want our family to say it, there is no such thing as golden soup in this world."
Zou Wang hurriedly said: "Father-in-law is high." ”
"There is no golden soup in the world, and there is no golden soup of friends."
"Since there is no golden soup, naturally there is no golden soup-like river embankment and golden soup-like weir mouth, you say yes, Zou Yuanwai."
Zou Wang lowered his head again and again and echoed: "Yes, how can there be a golden soup like a weir in the world......" Before he finished speaking, Zou Wang sensed that something was wrong.
"Father-in-law! You mean...... Brute! Lao Tzu fought with them! ”
After saying that, Zou Wang ran straight towards the outside of the painting boat, but was forced back by the inner attendant.
"Silverfish! Maggots of tarsal bones! ”
"Grandpa Mai, you let me slaughter these bastards with my own hands, Lao Tzu has sold their lives to them for so many years, they want to cut off the roots of my Zou family!"
No matter how Zou Wang shouted, McFuy only had one sentence left.
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Zou Yuan is not impatient."
Rain in Wuxi.
It's getting bigger.
And at the weir of the 5,000 acres of fertile land that Zou Wang carefully prepared for his sons, a team of people with provincial accents also appeared.
Even Ruan Bi and Hua Linxiang didn't know about the existence of this group.
This weir was originally built with green bricks.
Zou Wang even did not hesitate to abandon this field for five years, and specially sent people to serve day and night, just to restore soil fertility.
These are things that money can't buy for a while.
In short, this lake weir has been broken, and this is not the only place where the lake weir has been broken.
Because there is more than one good field in Wuxi.
