Chapter 52: Chu Liuxiang, the unjust head

Mu Rongshan's name of "Chu Liuxiang's son is a big wronged man" has long been confirmed in Vietnam.

In the morning, those fishermen who got up early and were greedy for black fishing sent fresh sea fish to Chu Gongzi, and without saying anything, they were rewarded with one or two silver.

Chu Liuxiang was happy, and the person who sent him firewood also had money, and the shopkeeper who wiped the table also had money.

The errand officers of Hongji's small yamen, now half of them are in the county government's office, and half of them are around the Xiangshuai all the time, thinking about serving in the past at any time, and they will even start fighting in order to fight for this kind of opportunity, no way, the money given by Chu Gongzi, some people are lucky, and they can almost get a year's income, which is a year's income.

In such a situation, who can maintain a calm mind?

Of course, they received the money, and they naturally took the lead in doing things, although Mu Rongshan's usual entry and exit was not big, and there were never many people, but the Vietnamese government officials who were in front of them walked in front and drove away any "suspicious elements".

And this is not Chu Liuxiang Gongzi himself, but just his subordinate Hu Tiehua, escorting a few small carts, the things on the cart don't seem to be much, but they are heavy, so that the Vietnamese coolies who do things can't straighten their waists, a few small carts are behind, walking slowly, naturally attracting countless eyes, everyone knows that this is the big fortune in the city, the loser from the Celestial Empire, and sent money to his father-in-law.

Speaking of being married (sold?) by an unscrupulous father at the age of twelve? Xiuwen for the rich second generation of the Celestial Empire, most Vietnamese people also know and envy it, not to mention anything else, this Mu Rongshan's strength to spend money is not something anyone can imagine, and they all look back at their daughters, comb their hair, I don't know if the Lord of the Celestial Empire has any thoughts about the ten-year-old girl?

Zheng Zhun lived in a house dedicated by a wealthy family, and when he heard that his "son-in-law" had sent silver, he was excited for a while, and then immediately ordered his closest cronies to go out to see the money, which was of great use to Zheng Zhun's plan.

The effect seems to be good, Zheng Zhun looked at the small carts with local Vietnamese style, due to the heaviness of the precious metal, it seems that there are not many things on it, but they are heavy enough, he approached, lifted the curtains, and saw all the new coins of the Celestial Empire that he had seen before, Gonghe Tongbao, he had compared this weight before, and knew that it was a very good silver coin, and nodded with satisfaction, he planned to take these things back to Hanoi for activities, if he could, he would rely on these rifles, Since then, he has become a hegemon in Vietnam and even the Indochina Peninsula, according to Mu Rongshan's continuous brainwashing, he also knows that his force value has been unimaginably high, and the scene of those rifle salvos is indeed extremely beautiful.

He still said a few nice words, but no more expressions were gone.

Hu Tiehua is also doing very well, after all, this is the cheap father-in-law of the "master", although Mu Rongshan has some activities in private, and he has little respect for this person, according to Mu Rongshan, he wants to do things, if he does it well, he will also have the opportunity to be a military attache in Vietnam, not to mention bullying men and women, but it is possible to return to his hometown.

Of course, who knows if the little girl Zheng Xiuwen will be favored after she grows up in the future, the fiercest wind in the world is definitely the pillow wind, brothers, Hu Tiehua is not stupid.

He had money with him, and he directly rewarded the Vietnamese coolies who transported the silver, and Zheng Zhun became more and more hot, how much money did the second generation of the Heavenly Dynasty have, he was really rich.

When he went out, Hu Tiehua seemed to be very tired, and said to an errand officer next to him: "I'm really tired, brother, let's go to the place last time." ”

As a place where human life is very cheap, there are naturally many brothels, Hu Tiehua occasionally invited those servants to go with him, and naturally brought some new words from the elders to these Vietnamese.

The errand servant is full of joy, it is not ordinary to be with the right person, how much money is the opening of the mouth, and he is going to enjoy happiness again tonight.

"Thank you Hu Ye, Hu Ye is really generous." Driven by them, Hongji people are more or less desperately learning Chinese.

Hu Tiehua seemed to be very impatient, and said: "Really, I came to see off Lao Shizi early in the morning, but I didn't entertain him." ”

"Yes, yes, this uncle is like this, it seems that Hu Ye came from the Heavenly Empire, that is the kingdom!"

Hu Tiehua said: "What kind of uncle am I, I'm just serving people, and the big head is not a general to give to you?" ”

"Big head, what did you just give?"

The conversation was finally led to the part that Hu Tiehua wanted, so he said: "It's nothing, it's just that our son-in-law, the New Year's fee given to General Zheng Da, according to the New Year's fee of ten taels of silver for a big-headed soldier, you see, it's all New Year's Day, and people don't want to go home to honor their parents, shouldn't they give more money, this money is not enough to have a big banquet in the capital." ”

Ten taels of silver!

The servant swallowed, feeling that something was wrong with his hearing, could I have heard it wrong?

Unlike the various costume films of later generations, the emperor rewarded the minister with a thousand taels at every turn, and then a small eunuch came over with a plate, in this era, the purchasing power of silver is quite strong, not so much the gold standard, but the silver standard, and a country like Vietnam, itself has poor economic competitiveness, and does not dare to circulate silver or copper money, but use iron money to fill the number, because, the Han merchants who came to Vietnam to do business, can not transport a hanging iron money back to the Celestial Empire, right?

Vietnam's silver is very valuable, for example, in the ears of the errand officer, this is the same extravagance as the department's department, which pays 10,000 yuan per person for the New Year!

He really wanted to kneel down, hugged Hu Tiehua's legs and sang to conquer, of course, reason still told him to be calm, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's for the family, people's kung fu is to block the knife for the general, take more silver, and you should also be." ”

"No!" Hu Tiehua immediately stopped his erroneous thoughts, "It's just that everyone has it, and that's what it looks like to have a New Year." ”

"Ten taels of silver."

Hu Tiehua took him to a nearby brothel and went to enjoy the junior high school girl, when several errand servants looked at the girl who was rushing in, and thought of it, ten taels of silver.

Hu Tiehua waved his hand and announced that he would pay the bill, and their overnight fee was only a few dollars of silver, so this was already a price increase for himself and others to choose two and choose all the high-quality goods in the prostitute, but what they thought of was ten taels of silver.

Even when it comes to dreaming back in the middle of the night, there are people who keep staring at each other, thinking, ten taels of silver.

According to the people of ordinary small counties in the Ming Dynasty, a small oil seller earns twenty taels a year, which is already very hard, and it is difficult to have any extra money left in addition to food, clothing, and housing.

And for Vietnam, where the price level and income level are even lower, how many big girls can be bought for ten taels of silver?

Anyway, Zheng Zhun is crazy, Vietnam is a copycat of China's government system, although the sparrow is small and has all the organs, in fact, it is a lot of corresponding official positions, but the income gap is too big, and his so-called official salary is only a few hundred taels a year, relying on the filial piety of businessmen and taking some benefits, he barely mixes well.

10,000 taels, even for such a general, it is already exciting for him, in this case, he came to Hongji, and also collected arms for his own use, I am afraid that it can be alleviated, when the time comes, take it to bribe the important ministers around the king, let yourself go south, and defeat the Ruan family's Qisan, when the time comes, how much do you want in the fertile fields in the south? It's exciting to think about!

Even if it is night, Zheng Zhun, who is training a girl, has more ambition and strength when he was young.

On the second day, he made a list in his heart, whoever is greedy will send more, whoever can speak in front of the king will send more, and he must have some money to live a good life, of course, it is best to keep more in his own hands, he can take advantage of the thin horse in Yangzhou in Jiangnan that he heard Chu Liuxiang boast about before?

This is, of course, a huge undertaking, and the more authoritarian a regime of this type, the more intriguing and balancing it will be, because you never know exactly how someone and someone are colluding in private.

It's not how, suddenly heard the noise outside, Zheng Zhun was stunned, the first thing he thought was whether it would be Hanoi who sent someone to come, after all, what he did was a bit against the rules of Edo, and it was normal to be remembered, thinking of this, he looked at the rifle placed in the room at any time, and there were more than a dozen people in the small team he carried, each of whom had fired more than 20 bullets, compared to ordinary family members who could only shoot five bullets, they were naturally much more proficient.

"What's going on, you guys go and see."

Zheng Zhun complained about why his people didn't care about the army, you know, in order to grasp his own people, the junior officers under him are either brothers-in-law or their own tenants, anyway, they are all their own people.

Soon got a reply: "Master, it's not an outsider, it's our own soldiers, I don't know why, it's all blocked here, but it's all in line." ”

"Queue?"

"yes, no one carries a gun, it's all in line."

Queuing is a skill that Hu Tiehua taught, no one expects these troops to play the era of queuing and shooting, that is, just release the gun from afar, anyway, sooner or later it will be reorganized or cleaned up, and their goal is only to deal with a group of classical-style troops, what are you afraid of?

The formation is not good, and the standing posture is not standard, but they are all straight, and their voices are not small, noisy, and they seem to be very excited.

Zheng Zhun peeked a few times behind the door, felt fine, and said, "Go and ask them what they are doing?" ”

It didn't look like a mutiny, and he was relieved.

You don't have to wait for a reply, you hear it right away.

"Hail the general!"

"The little one is here to receive the reward money, and when he receives the money, he will kowtow to the general."

"General Chitose, Chitose!"

"It's all standing, haven't you heard, it's a silver dollar from the Celestial Empire, don't mess around, everyone has it, twenty taels of silver!"

"That's right, after leading one team and then changing to the next team, you are not allowed to rob it, whoever dares to mess around, you will smash someone's dog's head!"

Zheng Zhun felt that his face was not good, and he seemed to have a bad hallucination.

"My lord, they heard that they were going to pay them the New Year's salary today, so they all came over, and they couldn't stop it."

"You are bold, why don't you stop people back."

"There are ten taels of silver, and my soldiers are not obedient anymore, and they all want to come out like this."

Silver can be channeled, and this is not a fixed military camp, a group of non-professional soldiers with almost the same military discipline as the common people can maintain such a formation, which is already supported by silver.

Zheng Zhun felt ridiculous and said, "Who deliberately spread rumors, here ......" He suddenly thought, could it be that Brother Gongzi? What's in it for him.

He pointed annoyedly, these few people slipped in through the back door, those few junior officers, tonight, I don't know where the rumors came from, the general wants to send money to everyone, and they are all silver dollars that have not been seen for many days, people's hearts are all floating, and even the personal soldiers around the officer can't be suppressed.

"Hurry up and let them go back, how can there be such a thing, you are all soldiers of my Dayue country, don't you want to rebel with the money of other people's Heavenly Empire."

"General, I really can't do it, how many days have these soldiers not been able to get any decent salaries, if it was good in the past, if they are driven away now, it will be bad."

"yes."

Zheng Zhun gritted his teeth and said: "Where did this rumor come from, this ......" He suddenly thought that yesterday's act of transporting silver seemed to have nothing to hide, although there was a curtain on the cart, but the coolies who transported the goods, the officials who protected them, and of course, those people in the Celestial Empire, there were many people who could talk nonsense at will.

That's it, anyway, it's money scraped from the sky, according to the suggestion of "Chu Liuxiang", everyone is also given ten taels of silver, but this money can't be given casually, he gritted his teeth and said: "How can there be a matter of ten taels of silver, everyone can barely send it...... Three iron coins, just take them for the New Year! ”

The price of iron in Vietnam is very cheap, with an average of five hangs, that is, 5,000 iron coins are worth one or two silver, which is already a discount and a discount.

Moreover, this money is not something that can be found casually, after all, there is no China Merchants Bank here, Zheng Zhun simply pushed it to Mu Rongshan, didn't he marry his own daughter, and he had to take care of it for me to the end!

Mu Rongshan is naturally still on the Xiangshuai, Zheng Xiuwen is now coaxed by him to be very obedient, it was originally just a bonus to the scheme, but he found that Zheng Xiuwen's skin was so fair, and he asked simply, just like all girls in this era, they don't go out of the house every day, even if they go out of the house, they are cool on summer nights, in this case, there is really no experience of other Vietnamese girls being tanned.

After Mu Rongshan found out that the girl was so obedient, he moved with ten fingers, of course, but not that kind of big move, who is he? Costume lovers, with a docile and obedient girl who can let herself dress up, it can be said that she is happy, when Zheng Zhun Xingshi asked the guilty person to pass, he was changing Zheng Xiuwen's clothes one by one, of course, he was helping to change it with Li Hongsleeve's three daughters, he just kept appreciating it, and then took pictures.
