Chapter 30: Quirks

"Xu Jiu, let's stay."

The friends also gang up with each other, and the two generations of Tang Emperors have a little bit of Yuanmou heroes, and there are some descendants of military generals from the former Sui. Eagle Yang Lang will be this kind of, the most. Then most of these people are from Henan Province, and their power is not small, but there are not many people in Hebei Province, mainly the right-hand men of the two generations of emperors, all of whom are from Hedong in Guannei Province.

"Brother Pang Xun, what advice does the little brother have?"

Xu Jiu was dressed properly, raised his hand modestly and politely, which made people very useful.

It was Pang Tongshan who was looking for him, and invited him to say, "There is something going on." ”

They are classmates in the national prison, and they come together for some social behaviors to improve their lives.

"That's what Brother Pang commands."

"Jiulang, I've been a little out of my hand lately, can I ......?"

Xu Jiulang is Xu Shixu's ninth son, and his fourth son is young, but he has always belonged to a well-known financial expert in Wubenfang.

Back then, Cheng Chubi engaged in the overall management of protection fees, which was a flash of inspiration for this guy, and he was two years younger than Cheng Chubi. In short, if it weren't for Zhang De's appearance, Xu Jiulang would be very happy......

Xu Jiulang's father may have to gild the center to the place in the past few years, and then the center will fight for it to embark on the road of Zaifu. Basically, it is to raise hope in the place, and the number of roads is the same as Wen Yanbo.

"Brother Pang is in trouble?"

Pang Tongshan was a little embarrassed and said shyly, "I bought a village in Xicheng, and the women in the north always cost a little money to feed them." Jiurou also knows that my family is no better than others. The Loyalty Society has supported the club's money a few times, but it can't help but pay ......it back."

In fact, the two generally can't get together. After all, Xu Jiu's father is Li Yuan's mastermind, and Pang Tongshan's father is Li Shimin's loyal dog. In the past, we had to bite each other. But because of Zhang De's wonderful role as a link, there is a platform to communicate with each other.

"Brother Pang is going to charter a boat?"

Xu Jiu's eyeballs are one. Seeing that Pang Tongshan seemed to be a little moved, he said, "Brother Pang, the younger brother has already heard the news. My brother's deal in the East China Sea this time is not trivial, and it may be better than the Silk Road. ”

"What?!"

Pang Tongshan's eyes widened, "Is this true?" ”

Xu Jiu paused and said, "My junior brother's uncle was a colleague when he was the general of the prison gate. Messages coming out. This time, the eldest grandson Boshu ate a boat alone, and it is said that ...... It is said that this ship used to be made of new porcelain, glass, silk, woolen cloth and sugar. ”

"This ...... Can this be sold? ”

For Pang Tongshan, the Japanese are the poor among the poor, even if it is the famous Gao Xiang Xuanli in the "Clear Stream", after dying on the spring bench, isn't it also found that there is no surplus wealth to be buried? Celebrities are still like this, not to mention those natives who can't come to the Tang Dynasty?

"Why did Brother Pang forget? The eldest grandson, Boshu, used to be an errand boy in the tributary hall. There will be unique news. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, exactly."

Pang Tongshan pondered for a while, and suddenly felt that Changsun Chong was such a person. It's impossible to rush into it without sweetness. Again, the relationship between Zhang De and Changsun Chong seems to be very good. That's intriguing.

"Hmm......"

"Brother Pang, according to the meaning of the younger brother. It's better to charter a boat. If it loses, the Silk Road will be opened in the future. It's never too late to earn it back. If it is earned, it is a million profits. ”

Xu Jiu's uncle is Xu Luoren, who has been a prison general, so naturally he has colleagues to convey the news. Compared with many powerful people who claim hegemony in the local area, Xu Luoren has a better way.

"I just don't know what to do?"

Pang Tongshan was a little hesitant.

"When you go, it doesn't matter if it's a boatload of Su silk Shu brocade or ceramic salt sugar, you can always make a fortune. When I came back, according to my little brother's intentions, it was a boatload of widows! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Jiu's graceful bearing was suddenly a little cold, young as him, he should have been refreshing and sunny, but his eyes were lowered, and his voice was a little excited: "My brother wants to plant mulberry in Hebei Road, according to my past knowledge, my brother can do things that ordinary people can't do." Others can't raise silkworms in Hebei Province, since my brother wants to plant mulberry, he must have a plan. ”

"Uh...... What does this have to do with the widows? ”

"What's the point? Brother Pang is so careless! After a long time, he looked at Pang Tongshan excitedly, "Brother Pang didn't go to see the two new workshops that my brother set up in Cangzhou?" In a new workshop built by my brother, the silk reeling is quite unique, and the silk is almost unbroken. It's just that the hands must be stirred in the hot water, if it is used for a long time, I am afraid that not the hands will be peeled, and in a few years, the winter will be rotten in the summer, and the hands will definitely be wasted. ”

"Hiss......"

Pang Tongshan gasped, "This kind of thing is a little cruel." ”

In fact, he wanted to say that it was inhumane, but when he thought that this was Zhang De's career, how could he talk like this, so he had to change his tone and show a little compassion.

"This is a miserable craft, if my brother does it, I'm afraid it won't be true. Although Cangzhou is still under the rule of Xue Tingshi now, it is guaranteed that Xue Tingshi will be promoted to Beijing in the future. When the time comes, if someone wants to attack them with this, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape the sin of mutilating a people's woman. ”

"So ......"

Pang Tongshan's eyes lit up.

"My brother is an extremely smart person, and the construction of fortifications without talking about him, just this risk avoidance, is to make people think twice. Do you remember those Turkic slaves in the Great River Workshop? There are also those Khitans in the Shicheng Iron Factory. The iron coolies harvested in Hedong, these places that consume people's labor extremely much, are all barbarians. ”

Pang Tongshan's body was suddenly shocked, and he suddenly felt that it was really not an accident that Zhang De could be so powerful.

"What about these widows......"

Xu Jiu suppressed his excitement and said in a low voice: "Others may have seen it, but since they don't say it, they must also want to make a profit." Brother Pang, you think, only in Cangzhou, my brother has set up two workshops, a silk reeling factory and a weaving factory. Only counting the three kingdoms of Goguryeo and Baekje Silla, their Zhumen family, I dare not say that there are more, there are always 120,000 people. ”

"In other words, Hebei Province will add a new factory?"

"It must be as it should be."

There is also a Xu Jiu who didn't say it, because he found out. The workers there in Shicheng are local to Hebei. He himself saved his wages in July and August. On holidays, I changed my wages into some beautiful clothes and brought them to my local hometown in Jizhou or Pingzhou.

The financial resources of these workers are not far behind those of some middle and lower counties in Hebei Province.

And the current grain price in Hebei Province has also been artificially lowered, according to Xu Jiu's observation, there are actually many grain ships from the south of the Yangtze River.

Then the problem is, there are a few people in Hebei Province who have such forces and can convert the rice grain in the south of the Yangtze River. Shipped to Hebei?

Then there is another question, Hebei Province itself is not a small amount of land, why do you need to travel thousands of miles to transport grain? It must have happened last year, and Zhang De must have had some collusion with the officialdom of Hebei Province.

After thinking about it thoroughly, Xu Jiu planned to stay in Hebei for a while, originally he left Beijing with his friends to go to Zhang De, nominally to visit Zhang De.

After all, the head of the loyal society.

Some people think that the capital relies only on rice paper, sugar, rice mills, feed, glass, porcelain, wool, and leather goods. It's enough to keep three generations safe. So many people didn't plan to leave Beijing, but they liked to use their brains or were a little shy in their pockets, so they secretly hid from their families and went out of the capital.

After coming. Xu Jiu can be sure that those who don't come out will definitely regret it in the future.

"Kuro. You're right. The widow was born cheaply, crippled and died. The straw mat is rolled and buried. Moreover, now there is the eldest grandson Boshu, presumably there are Japanese people. The price code is not too high. I heard that the Japanese women are very cheap, and there are kinds of livestock, if they come to work in the workshop, maybe after ten or eight years, they can still have a free body, and maybe they can have some surplus wealth. ”

This is what self-hypnosis said to myself, and if I do too many things to lose my conscience, I always want to find some spiritual comfort. In fact, sometimes, everyone is also very clear, how many Turkic slaves died in the coal mines over there in the Xihetao? In the winter of the year before last, one or two thousand people froze to death in one go, although Zhang De didn't say such a cruel thing, wouldn't Li Simo say it?

The old mad dog wished that the whole world knew that under his rule, the Turks died very quickly, and this was all a credit.

So, not only Pang Tongshan, but also Li Fengzhi Cheng Chubi, who has been messing with Lao Zhang for the longest time, has also experienced mental torture.

Then, after a torment of conscience, they finally became qualified conscientious vampires.

In short, as long as the friends are smarter, they will be afraid of Zhang De from the heart, this is not to say that Cheng Chubi is kind of swords, guns and sticks, but Zhang De's career is basically refining flesh and blood, but Zhang De has no guilt or fear, and even pretends to be forced with his friends lightly......

It's embarrassing and deeply frightening at the same time.

Psychopathic guys, at any time, will make people feel swishy.

Later, someone also knocked on the side and asked Zhang De, is it a Buddha.

After all, after doing so many things for money and killing people, there must be a home. Then Zhang De once said at a banquet that he believed in Buddhism.

Then someone asked what Buddha he believed in.

Lao Zhang said that it was "Nan Wu Inorganic Chemistry Buddha", "Nan Wu Mechanical Engineering Buddha", "Nan Wu Material Mechanics Buddha"......

I've never heard of it!

So when the friends were filming Zhang De's "brother's righteous anger", they silently complained in their hearts: My brother is so afraid.

"This trip, my brother may be busy until the beginning of spring next year. At that time, the silkworms of the second year were about to come out, and it was the time to employ people. Hebei's population is withering, and foreign slaves are always used. The Khitan is now falling apart, only the cowardly dog of Brother Dahe is left, and the elder brother has no way to attack him. ”

After a pause, Xu Jiu said even more firmly, "Therefore, for businesses such as silk and linen, my brother must have no one at hand." If we have this kind of business, we only need to be familiar with it, and ten or eight years will be a long-term way of wealth. ”

Pang Tongshan secretly said in his heart: Wealth is wealth, but this kind of business, to put it bluntly, isn't it human trafficking? Alas, my Pang family is upright, how can I ...... But now that he is shy in his pocket, and the adults are strict in his care, he could have made a fortune as an official, but unfortunately everything is unfavorable. Anyway, the sage said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, so I won't go to see the fate of those widows, and it's better not to take over such dirty hand matters.

At the moment, Pang Tongshan gritted his teeth and said, "Jiulang, what you said is the truth. That's what you want, and that's what you want! ”

"The two of us only make one boat, it's a pity, the younger brother is visiting Xiao Ergongzi these days, if it's wishful, pull him along."

"I'm young, didn't Xiao Ergongzi underestimate me?"

"Brother Pang has no worries, you don't know, Xiao Ergongzi intends to match his daughter to marry his brother, we are my brother's close brothers, and we have always been friendly, if we help you, it will be a bit of a success."

When Pang Tongshan heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Second Prince Xiao actually has such good ideas, but I'm afraid that his daughter may not be beautiful." ”

"Hey, Brother Pang is wrong. At the beginning, the daughter of Xiao Ergongzi, but she was almost elected to the palace, if she was ordinary, how could she enter the eyes of the queen? Brother Pang also knows that now the matter of supplementing the harem is in the hands of the queen, and the queen's reputation is known to everyone, how can she be a shameless thing like a Fang's wife, she must be a beautiful young woman. ”

These words made Pang Tongshan stunned for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that one of the two little girls that Zhang De received in Luoyang seemed to have almost been included in the harem.

Thinking of this, Pang Tongshan recalled the interaction between His Majesty the Emperor and Zhang De, and suddenly said secretly: Could it be that a woman who has something to do with His Majesty is more pleasing to her?

In an instant, Pang Tongshan suddenly had a thought, and he actually laughed.

"Brother Pang, why are you smiling like this...... Wretched? ”

"Duh! What strange things to say, why are they obscene?! ”

Pang Tongshan scolded, and then whispered: "Jiulang, let's visit Xiao Ergongzi first, after the matter is completed, I have a plan for my brother, that is, I want to discuss with you." ”

After that, he bit his ear and said private words to Xu Jiu.

After a while, Xu Jiu was suddenly stunned: "Yes, the woman next to my brother has something to do with His Majesty, don't you really like this kind of fun?" No, no, no, it's not much fun, and if it is known, I am afraid it will not arouse His Majesty's suspicion. My brother is also a bold man, how can he have such quirks? ”

The two sighed for a long time, and couldn't help but secretly say: It's really a hero.

A few days later, the summer grain stocks began to be processed, because the demand for flour at the Shicheng Iron and Steel Works had skyrocketed, so that the hydraulic mill in the floating Zhanghe River did not stop, and a boatload was gathered and sent to Pingzhou immediately.

And in this situation, Pingzhou is also cobbling together a group of people, to do a good job of the road from Shicheng to the coast.

It is not an easy task to level the road, not to mention, according to the meaning of Zhang De and Wang Xiaotong, Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant must have a special track directly to the coast.

Lao Zhang's expectations for the special line track are still very high, but at present, in order to alleviate the transportation pressure, we must first rush to the original temporary leveling road before winter, and then tamp and widen it.

Just as Lao Zhang began to be busy on the construction site again, Li Zhen finally came with another piece of good news. (To be continued.) )
