Chapter 26: Preparing to pluck the turnips

Early in the morning, a luxurious carriage slowly left the Nangong Mansion with the support of eighteen men. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info people in the city, as long as they see it, they all know that it is the special car of the Seventh Lady.

Eighteen men, all of them are very energetic, making people believe that any one of them can kill three or five tigers casually.

In the midst of everyone's attention, the group gradually walked out of the city gate and looked west.

When the Seventh Lady's carriage and horse left the Nangong Mansion for thirty miles, time seemed to stand still.

To be exact, it was not static, but when the Seventh Lady left the Nangong Mansion, it seemed that the guide line of the explosives began to ignite, and when the Seventh Lady's men and horses arrived dozens of miles away, the fuse burned out, and there was silence at the moment when it was about to explode, and then, it exploded!

The Grand Canal, known as the main economic artery of the north and south, in the area south of the Yangtze River, dock workers on strike across the board, refusing to unload and load cargo ships close to the wharf.

It is said that the reason is that the boss has been in arrears of their wages for several months, and they can't live anymore, and the boss must settle all the arrears of wages before they can start work.

The major merchants who want to ship or purchase goods are miserable, and they jointly petition the water transport yamen, and the yamen is helpless, because hundreds of thousands of bitter haha are facing hardship and persecution in life, and they just want to get back their hard-earned money, which is very reasonable. It's just that the scale is too large, involving hundreds of thousands of people, and if it is not handled properly and causes riots, this is the responsibility of no one official to bear.

As a result, the local government put pressure on those responsible for the river section to pay the workers' wages as soon as possible, and at the same time sent the documents to the upper management in the hope of getting help from the higher authorities when reporting the report.

In fact, the responsibility for shipping in the Jiangnan area is basically firmly grasped by the four major families in Jiangnan. After the pressure of the government's interference came down, of course, it was on the heads of the four great families, and Nangong Xuan, the head of the Nangong family, as the representative spokesman of the four major families, not only did not work hard with the government, but actively cooperated with the government departments to carry out a grand public meeting at noon.

At the meeting, the old man Nangong first sincerely apologized to all the bitter haha, and then poured bitter water, their four great families due to the war in recent years, the profits are meager, and the most important thing is that they do not have much cash on hand, almost all the funds are stored in the money of the dreamer; he said bitterly, he has negotiated with the dreamer several times but to no avail, the dreamer actually can't get so much cash as an excuse, has been stagnant and firmly hold on to the money, which led to such a distressing incident.

Originally, as a money bank, its function is not only to make it convenient for customers to use funds, but also to collect idle funds from the people, and then lend to some individuals or collectives on the premise of short-term business turnover or project development start-up funds under the premise of charging a certain amount of interest, and obtain benefits through the difference in interest.

The problem now is that after the local money bank lends out the funds, the cash held in the money bank will definitely not be able to pay the needs of the local customers to claim all the money.

Almost at the same time as Nangong Xuan's press conference, the old man of the dream family asked people to inform the dream family money banks all over the country, especially the major money houses in the nearby Jiangnan area, that they must condense the silver taels as quickly as possible, because the bitter haha people seem to have unified the caliber before, and unanimously asked to collect silver or copper coins for white flowers. That's right, the bitter haha people are used to the way of buying and selling in kind, and the silver and copper coins make them feel real.

However, this is difficult for the old man to dream, because the reply he got was that even if it was the fastest speed, it would take three days!

Three days?

Looking at the anger of the people, after three hours, it is difficult to determine what evil will happen!

The relevant government departments in various localities have pointed the finger at the dreamer.

Although under the power of Master Helian, the in-law of Old Man Meng, he temporarily got a little buffer, but because the government officials of several provinces were originally jealous of Lord Helian, and their hatred had been for a long time, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, of course, they would not let it go easily, so they jointly reported to the central government as a threat, and as a result, Lord Helian almost had the urge to cut off all relations with the Dream family when he was looking for a tree to hang, but the gift-giver had to give gifts and money, and none of them could be left behind.

After a lot of hemorrhage from the Helian family, in exchange for a very cruel deadline: the dreamer must, before dark, settle all the incidents!

Dreamer.

In the spacious hall, more than a dozen elderly people sat quietly. Their eyes all looked at Old Man Dream in unison.

Mrs. Dream is not there, and the current men's affairs are men's battlefields, and women have chosen to leave quietly.

Old Man Dream is also very quiet, and you can't even find the restlessness and impatience he should have in the face of anxiety.

However, not all people have the courage of the old man dream, so some people can't help but ask: "Family master, are we just here in a quiet daze?"

Old Man Meng raised his face, looked at him, and said lightly: "Do you have a better way?"

The man immediately shut his mouth.

Everything that needs to be done has been done, and the only way is that it seems to be like this.

An old man in his sixties who approached the top one, who was next to Old Man Meng, said softly: "I don't know, is Xiaomeng reliable?"

Old Man Meng said softly: "My son, since he was fifteen years old, has never done a single thing that disappointed me. ”

Although his tone was very light and light, what he revealed was incomparable trust and pride.

Of course, Old Man Meng's trust and pride in his own son could not completely convince all the old men. Because, their concern is that in the past, what Dream Swim did was nothing more than a small fight, and now, the Dream Family, which is related to the life and death of the entire big family, is by no means something that can be saved by the means of some child players!

The classmates in the dream did not go back to the "Yuehui Restaurant", but went to a bamboo forest.

Deep in the bamboo forest is the Myeongwitsu Temple. He didn't go any further, although he wanted to see Master Miaoyu a little, but he still felt that it was really a sin to disturb the tranquility of a monk.

He came here, just to think that the environment here is very good, elegant to say, the aura here makes people feel as pure as being washed, very comfortable. Although, in a special way, he informed Duanmu Bai that the purpose of coming here for the gathering would be to discuss some very bloody things, but the elegant environment will always make people unconsciously dissipate some childish anger, which is the real purpose of Meng.

In the end, Mr. Dream is a kinder person, he has no intention of destroying the world, he just hopes that when the battle is inevitable, the casualties and related losses can be reduced to a minimum.

At noon, Duanmubai came.

Looking at this pleasant and elegant environment, even the eldest young master Duanmu couldn't help but sigh for a while before asking, "Third young man, you won't let me accompany you to recite poetry, right?"

There was a large cloth mat spread out under Meng's buttocks, and there were wine jugs and two cups on the mat, his face was still so calm and indifferent, he smiled faintly, and said: "I've always liked to be quiet, but too often, others don't let me be quiet." ”

Duanmu Bai also sat on the mat, nodded, and sighed: "The so-called, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes; as long as they step into the rivers and lakes, they are already doomed, and many things are no longer moving forward according to the pace we want, and the funny thing is that too many of us know that we can't do it, so the troubles will increase with the increase of desire." ”

The two drank a few glasses of wine. Both put down their glasses.

Duanmu Bai stared at classmate Meng and said, "Sanshao, are you ready?"

Meng nodded, and then sighed lightly: "I just hope that all sides will be lost to the minimum." ”

Duanmu Bai shook his head and said: "This is not realistic, there is almost no difference between the battle of the rivers and lakes and the battle on the battlefield, if some people want to stand up, some people must fall." ”

Of course, Meng also knows this truth, which is the same as the progress of society, let some people get rich first, and let some people live a poor life. The unspoken rules are, first, that it is impossible to make all people rich, just imagine, if all the people in the world are multimillionaires or billionaires, are there still people farming, are there still people doing business, there is no labor of the poor, what do the rich people eat, what do they wear, and do they live by counting money? Second, if all the people in the world are rich, then all the coins will bear the brunt of unprecedented inflation, and it is worth estimating that every egg will have to pick a load of coins to buy. Of course, if the whole world is full of poor people, then, there is no doubt that society is regressing, copying the backwardness and sorrow of primitive society.

Classmate Meng's expression was extremely solemn, and finally he said helplessly: "Okay, they all say that pull up the radish and bring a pit, just make this pit bigger and give some people a wake-up call." ”

Duanmu Bai stood up and said with a smile: "I'm going to pull the turnip." ”

Classmate Meng nodded silently, with a hint of deep thought on his face, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Old man Nangong, if you dare to touch my woman, I will step on your head." ”

The old man Nangong is not there, if he is, he must be very very annoyed and angry, and he will definitely shout at him hysterically: "Shameless dream classmate, is it good that you move my woman, you are so naughty, you like to reverse right and wrong so much, do you know in your family?!"

If this is the case, Meng will probably reply calmly: "My family knows." ”

Then, the old man of Nangong vomited three liters of blood, and it was impossible to die again.

Since the old man Nangong was not at the scene, Duanmu Bai had to temporarily cooperate with the trick, looked at him with disdain, shook his head, and sighed softly: "I have seen shameless, but I have never seen someone so shameless, robbed other people's wives, and actually took advantage of it, Sanshao, I just obeyed." ”

Meng touched his chin and had some questions: "I, am I really shameless?"

Duanmu Bai immediately jumped into the saddle in a hurry, as if his ass was being chased by a fire, and he looked anxious to leave quickly.

Meng said: "Why are you in such a hurry, the radishes are all in the ground, and you can't run away." ”

Duanmu Bai weakly threw down a sentence: "I'm afraid that if I stay with you for a long time, I will learn badly." ”

"Forehead ......"
