Chapter 57: Zhang Heizi and the Fan Family
Zhang Heizi rode a horse and walked on the official road leading to the west.
His heart also soared.
This time, he has risen to 100 households!
100 households, 100 households!
This is the real six-grade official position of the imperial court!
He's also an official!
Behind him, there were four recruits.
After he became a hundred households, he naturally also had soldiers.
This time, he was rushing in the direction of home.
After becoming a hundred households, he was proud for a long time. Suddenly, I heard the news, saying that He Maming and Zhang Tong had taken leave and went home.
Zhang Tong has a father-in-law who used to look down on him, but now that he has become a small flag, of course he has to go back to the Yue family, let the people of the Yue family take a look, raise their eyebrows, and exhale.
He Maming didn't want to take the imperial examination back then, but his father insisted on forcing him to take the imperial examination, and after taking the examination several times and not even being a child, he resolutely left home. Before leaving home, he left a note saying that he would go home only after mixing outside. However, after so many years, He Ma Ming has not mixed up any human appearance. It was only now that I became the general flag that I thought about returning to my home after a 20-year absence.
After Zhang Heizi heard the reason why Zhang Tong and He Maming went home, his eyes couldn't help but light up. He is not looked down upon at home, but now he is a hundred households home, according to that sentence, what is it, yes, is it a return of brocade clothes to the hometown or a return of brocade to the hometown? Let the people in the family also have a good insight into the majesty of our Zhang Da Hundred households.
It is estimated that they were killed, and they couldn't think of being a hundred households!
Second, Zhang Heizi's hometown is just an ordinary farmer, and he will be bullied by landlords and bullies in the countryside. Take the identity of a hundred households to go home, who dares to bully their own family in the future. To put it bluntly, I have to go home to support my father and mother after becoming a hundred households.
Therefore, let's Zhang Heizi Zhang Dabaihu, and now it is, take leave and go home.
And the four recruits who followed him were used to protect him. The world in these years is too chaotic, the chaos in the northwest, the Manchu Qing outside the border, bandits from all over the country, and I am really afraid of accidents when I go out alone. But now five people, five knives, normal bandits will not choose such an object as a robbery object.
Horses, now there are a total of forty-six horses in Qingshandun, and it is naturally not difficult to borrow one in order to open the face of hundreds of households.
Zhang Dabaihu was training four recruits: "You guys, look at me as a hundred, aren't you very envious." ”
The four recruits, of course, nodded their heads.
Zhang Heizi laughed: "Let me tell you a secret, follow He Tou'er, He Tou'er is the reincarnation of God and Buddha, follow him and you will be blessed, and you will be promoted and rich." ”
Well, if He Xuan is here, it is estimated that he will kick Zhang Heizi again, and this guy will come to promote the idea that He Xuan is the reincarnation of God and Buddha.
A group of five people traveled for a while, and finally arrived at Zhang Heizi's hometown.
Xia, Huatou Town, a subordinate town of Liang County under the rule of Luliang Prefecture under the rule of Western Province.
Huatou Town is just a small town.
Its specialty is a snack called flower head, which is not available outside, and some are similar to pastries, but slightly different.
Zhang Heizi rode a big horse, triumphant.
The people next to him would also see Zhang Heizi's body from time to time, and muttered in a low voice: "Who is this person?"
"It seems that he is a military master, and he still seems to have an official position. ”
"That's a little let's go. ”
In this era, we don't pay attention to the situation of the military and the people, and many people are afraid of the military. Isn't there a saying, thieves are like combs, and soldiers are like grates. In the old days, the thieves and robbers were like combing them with a comb, and there were survivors after that; Officers and soldiers plundered the people as if they were using bamboo grates, and then looted them. It is pointed out that in the old days, officers and soldiers harmed the people more than thieves.
Not to mention that many officers have no ability to kill thieves and Tartars, so they will kill good people and take risks.
Zhang Heizi rode a big horse triumphantly and hurried slowly to his house on the edge of the town.
The population of his family is not complicated.
Zhang's father, Zhang Laohan, is in his fifties this year, and of course, his physical strength has not declined at all.
Zhang's mother, Song, is also in her fifties this year.
Zhang Heizi's second brother Zhang Gou'er, Zhang Gou'er is almost thirty years old this year, has a family, and has a son and a daughter.
Zhang Heizi's third brother Zhang Zhu'er, Zhang Zhu'er is in his early twenties this year, and his family is poor and can't afford to become a relative.
Zhang Heizi's fourth sister Zhang Qian, Zhang Heizi also didn't go home for three or four years, but I remember that four years ago, when I was about twelve years old, my sister was quite beautiful.
"Which one are you?" Zhang Heizi had just fallen off the horse, and then saw an excessively beautiful girl ask in the local dialect.
Although this girl is dressed in coarse cloth, her skin is quite white, like clotted fat, and her melon seed face has a kind of dusty beauty.
Zhang Heizi also skillfully said in the local vernacular: "I am Zhang Heizi, who are you?
After hearing this, the girl in coarse cloth clothes who was surprisingly beautiful looked at Zhang Heizi carefully: "You are really the eldest brother? I am Zhang Qian." ”
"You are my sister, the little girl who came out a little neatly and didn't walk around with snot back then, became like this?" Zhang Heizi was also surprised.
This made Zhang Qian ashamed and angry: "Is there a big brother like you?"
"By the way, what about Daddy?" asked Zhang Heizi.
"They're all out and doing things. Now that it's cold and there is no life in the field, my father went up the mountain to chop firewood to sell it, and he could sell it for some money. My mother also went with my father. Zhang Qian asked: "Big brother, you look so majestic now, it's hard to become an official." ”
"Of course, your brother and I are a hundred households!
Although this town is biased, everyone has heard of this kind of official position in Baihu.
Zhang Qian stared directly: "Brother, are you serious? You have become a hundred? That's a big official, brother, you won't brag." ”
That's what Zhang Heizi was waiting for: "Do you think I look like a brag? Don't you see that I have personal soldiers behind me to protect me." He pointed to the four recruits beside him, and with these four recruits, one was for safety, and the other was to show off that he was also a pro-soldier.
At this time, Zhang Qian believed: "Brother, you have actually become a hundred households, I heard that it is quite difficult to be promoted in the army." Brother, how did you mess up. ”
In the evening, the rest of the family returned.
And then, everyone was shocked, Zhang Heizi actually became a hundred households!
This is a big official of the sixth grade!
When they usually see a grain chief, they all feel like they have met a great official!
Now, it's too big an official!
The Zhang family was shocked, and they couldn't believe it.
And Zhang Heizi became more and more proud.
"In this way, the people of the Fan family don't dare to beat our little sister's idea. Zhang Zhu'er asked.
"People from the Fan family, what do you mean?" Zhang Heizi asked, "Could it be that my sister is beautiful, so someone has come to make an idea?"
"yes. Zhang's father, Zhang Laohan, nodded with a dry cigarette: "Fan Helin of the Fan family." I want to concubine your little sister as a concubine, this Fan Helin is only in his thirties, but I heard that he likes ***, and many of the women who are included in the house are played to death by him. What are we going to do?"
"Fan family Fan Helin. When Zhang Heizi heard this, he couldn't help wiping a cold sweat.
In this era, there are mountains and west, and there are eight monster-level merchants.
They are the Wang family, the Jin family, the Fan family, the Wang family, the Liang family, the Tian family, the Zhai family, and the Huang family.
Their principals are Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yongfa.
These eight people are the famous eight masters of Jin Shang.
In the late Wanli period, after Nurhachi betrayed the Ming Dynasty and established the Later Jin regime in Liaodong, the foreign trade business of the Jin merchants was severely hit. Because in the face of the attack of the Later Jin, the Ming Dynasty army was repeatedly defeated, so it used economic warfare to carry out an economic blockade of the Later Jin.
At that time, the situation was that the Later Jin army broke through the towns of the Ming Dynasty and looted a large amount of gold and silver, but these gold and silver that could not be eaten and drunk not only failed to enhance the strength of the Later Jin regime, but because there was too much gold and silver, it caused inflation and weakened its strength.
The Jin businessmen who encountered problems in development saw an opportunity to make a fortune. The Jin merchants had all kinds of materials urgently needed by Houjin in their hands, and Houjin had a large amount of gold and silver in the eyes of the merchants. Thus, the classic saying in "Capital" - if there is a 50% profit, they will take risks, if there is a 100% profit, they will go crazy, if there is a 200% profit, they dare to trample on the principles of everything in the world - has become a reality. The two sides hit it off, and the Jin merchants began to risk their lives, violating the ban of the Ming government, smuggling grain, gunpowder, metal, salt and other materials to the Houjin. Among them, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dayu, Wang Dengku, Tian Shenglan and other eight are the most famous.
Moreover, these Jin merchants not only smuggled materials, but also collected intelligence about the Ming Dynasty for the Later Jin regime. Li Guangdou wrote in the article "How Did China's No. 1 Merchant Gang "Jin Shang" Decline?": "At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty rose, and in order to pursue greater profits, the Jin merchants even engaged in the business of 'connecting foreign countries'. According to history, Houjin's gunpowder, eighty percent of the grain, and more than sixty percent of the metal were all provided by the Jin merchants. Even Gyeonggi intelligence, down to the names of the guards at each pass, the number of soldiers, and the details of equipment, were provided by the Jin merchants. It can be said that the Jin merchants made great contributions to the overthrow of the late Ming regime. ”
The Later Jin army continued to bleed from the Ming Dynasty through war, and the Jin merchants continued to transfuse blood for the Later Jin regime through smuggling, and eventually, the Ming Dynasty collapsed under internal and external attacks. Therefore, Wen Jianping said in "Jin Shang, the Gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty": "If there is no financial strength of the Jin Shang, there is no courage of the Manchu army, and it is impossible for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to defeat the Ming Dynasty and seize the Han world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Jin Shang were the gravediggers of the Ming Dynasty." ”
These eight families of Jin merchants are all eight families who have betrayed the country.
The eight families of the Jin merchants, because of their strong financial resources, are all in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, with unimaginable power and strength, which is not something that a hundred households can afford at all.
Zhang Heizi's back couldn't help but get wet, but he still said strongly: "Don't worry, I am also a hundred households, and the Fan family will give me some face." ”
......
The next day.
Fan Helin's subordinate butler, a man named Fan Dafu, came.
The man was about fifty years old, chubby, with squinted eyes, and occasionally, a chilling aura squinted in his eyes, which made people feel terrible.
He was followed by four or five family members.
Fan Dafu walked to the door of the Zhang family, and said arrogantly to the people of the Zhang family: "We, Second Young Master Fan, want to accept your family's Zhang Qian as makeup, it is your family's luck, this is thirty taels of silver, which is the cost of buying a concubine paid by our Fan family." ”
Zhang Laohan of the Zhang family, Zhang Gou'er, Zhang Zhu'er and others, as well as Zhang Qian, who is related to fate, all looked at Zhang Heizi.
Zhang Heizi stubbornly said: "Steward Fan, my name is Zhang Heizi, I am Zhang Qian's eldest brother, I am a hundred households, and I am also a six-rank official of the imperial court." Can you forget this matter and sell me face?"
"The six-rank official of the imperial court?" Fan Dafu glanced at Zhang Heizi and said with a smile: "Then there is still some face, so let's do it, the cost of taking a concubine will rise to one hundred taels, don't say that I won't give you face." He took out a silver ticket worth one hundred taels from his sleeve, threw it directly out, and threw it to the ground.
Fan Dafu actually wanted to laugh, what kind of power did their Fan family have, and they had a relationship with many military generals of the second rank, the third grade, and the fourth grade, as well as the civil officials of the second grade, the third grade, and the fourth grade. When did a hundred households with six grades dare to call them the Fan family to give face, ridiculous!
Zhang Heizi said: "The leader I followed is He Xuan, who was named the first fierce general in the world by the Holy Father, and he is the deputy Qianhu, please give me some face." ”
"The world's number one fierce general, what is that? To put it bluntly, it's just a deputy thousand households. Besides, he's just your leader, and he won't necessarily give you a head start. Fan Dafu sneered: "This time, Zhang Qian, our second young master is going to decide." ”
Zhang Heizi saw how he was soft, Fan Dafu didn't give face, and the ferocity in his bones was also aroused: "Fight, beat me." Let's see who dares to rob my sister. ”
Although his subordinates are recruits, they have seen blood and killed Qing soldiers. Zhang Heizi himself is also very skilled.
And the five family members behind Fan Dafu, where can they fight this kind of soldier.
In a few moments, Zhang Heizi knocked all these people down.
Zhang Heizi smiled cruelly and stepped on Fan Dafu's body: "Bullying people, but also bullying our Zhang Heizi's head, our Zhang Heizi has killed Tartars at the border pass, seen blood, and followed the reincarnation of the gods and Buddhas." You really don't know whether to live or die. ”
With that, he stepped heavily on Fan Dafu's palm.
Fan Dafu let out a terrible scream.
Zhang Laohan and the others were already white-faced, and their legs were trembling with fright: "What should I do if I beat the people of the Fan family?"
The Fan family is in the Luliang area, covering the sky with one hand.
"What should I do? Of course, follow me to Qingshan Pier, no, now it's called Qingshan Military Fort, and when we get there, Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't move us. After all, Zhang Heizi was used to seeing big scenes, and immediately came up with countermeasures.
Zhang Laohan still had to clean up his belongings, Zhang Heizi immediately told them not to clean up, he was rich in hundreds of households, and he could go to Qingshan Military Fort to buy anything.
