Mao Jue came to Jiangnan this time to make money, but after more than ten days in Yiwu, he became a boy with scattered wealth, which has cost more than 60,000 taels, and more than 30,000 acres of mountain fields near the county seat have also been developed, but now, the investment still can't be stopped, and the first year is the most money-burning when he didn't see the income, according to this situation, at least more than 30,000 taels have to be invested.

However, this silver, Mao Jue did not hesitate, did not pay for it, Yiwu in later generations is a miracle, is the pioneer who dared to reform under the rigid system, Mao Jue is happy to see if he can create a miracle in the south of the Yangtze River.

And Yiwu has shed blood for the world, Qi Jiguang owes people here, as a junior, then he will pay it back.

In the past few days, as a recruited southern soldier, he has not been very comfortable, he has to run and exercise when he gets up at five o'clock in the morning, and Qi Dashuai still practices formation or something, but Mao Dashuai is good, just standing in line in the cold air, not moving, moving is a whip.

Listening to the burning and planting on the slopes of the back mountain, and occasionally wild boars running out, the people in the village rushed to catch them.

At the end of March, more than half of Mao Jue's three-month vacation has passed, but he hasn't done anything about Mao Wenlong's explanation, and he can't delay it here, so he can only hurry back to Hangzhou, but at this time it is also on the right track, the sugarcane seedlings that went in first have been lush and green, and those local black-haired chickens have also been thrown into the sugarcane field.

What makes these southern soldiers depressed is that ten days ago, these hometown fathers still hated Mao Jue so much, but it has only been a few days, and the attitude of the big guy has taken a 180-degree turn.

"Son! Mao Shuai is different from those dog officials before! Follow Mao Shuai, fight well, don't lose the face of our Yiwu soldiers!"

"Everything is fine at home, you don't have to worry about it, when you get to the north, General Mao said that he will fight whoever he wants, and he will fight to the death!"

"Everything is subject to General Mao's words!"

After all, parting is sad, but while bidding farewell to his children, on the other hand, these Yiwu fathers and elders are all telling these, so that the soldiers who are about to leave really feel that they have been sold.

When I came to a convoy, when I went back, it was a mighty number of one or two thousand people, and the big team went north one by one, as the coach, Mao Jue was also surrounded by these villagers, and he was reluctant to say goodbye.

While walking, he also told him uneasily.

"Don't spend the money given to you, this is a chicken that lays golden eggs, just keep it! From this autumn, a steady stream of golden eggs will be laid, and when the time comes, I will send someone again!"

"General Mao, don't worry! Although Zhao is not a big official in his life, he has seen a lot of big people, like you, who is really willing to settle down in the township of soldiers, as the head of Yiwu County, you can rest assured! Every penny of money Zhao took everyone to spend on the blade!"

Yiwu is a notoriously poor county, and the people are fierce, not easy to manage, can be sent here, generally also down-and-out people, but in this big era, the most down-and-out is the upright! Although this surnamed Zhao is fat, and his personality has been smoothed out a little, he is still a good official with a conscience, and when he walked with Mao Jue, he also patted his chest violently to reassure.

"Yes, I believe you!"

It is estimated that a thousand words are not as moving as these simple words, Mao Jue's smiling fist once again made the fat man's face slightly moved, and for a few seconds, Zhao Xianling, who no longer needed words, hugged his fist heavily.

Here is almost to the exit of Yiwu County, or when the potholed loess official road came, he turned over his horse suddenly, turned around and hugged his fist heavily to the Yiwu father Mao Jue who saw him off.

"The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, Mao will say goodbye, if he is fortunate to have Mao, he did not die on the battlefield, died under the sword, in the ravine, he must go to your county in person, thank the villagers for their support!"

"Congratulations to General Mao!"

Headed by the Chen family and Zhao County, dozens of township elders bowed down in unison.

…………

Although the carriage was bumpy enough, but the horse riding was not as comfortable as the car, and he rode out for more than ten miles heroically, it is estimated that these villagers should go back, and after a while, Mao Jue got back into Luo Ning's comfortable carriage and leaned on the soft mink mattress.

"The people's hearts are simple!"

It was really incomparably emotional, and he rubbed the corners of his eyes, Mao Jue hummed melancholy.

"Ben Jiang has just done so much for the township, these villagers can let their children fight for their lives! Ben will have a guilty conscience! ”

"What Zhao Xianling said is good, the concubine has seen the big people such as the carp crossing the river, the big words are sonorous, and the impassioned people don't know how much they have seen, but most of them are empty talkers, sitting on the high of the temple, and the words are chiseled, going to the Jiangning water, these wealthy officials and gentry have been pulling each other for more than a month, and in the end, it is our merchants who have pooled money and grain to help the victims!"

I don't know if it's a compliment or a real emotion, Mao Jue is modest there, and this woman is also shaking her head and sighing.

"It would be nice if we had more martial artists like General Mao!"

Luo Ning is really good at talking, Mao Jue has a blank head, and he is really comfortable to listen to, but at this moment, the woman's little fox tail is exposed again, and her beautiful big eyes are full of cunning, and Luo Ning is cautious to poke out the little brain melon on the side.

"General Mao, the concubine also wants to hire some people here, open a few acres of mountain fields, and get some cane sugar to supply the clansmen, I don't know what you think?"

"Miss Luo can do it herself, the mountains of Jinhua are vast, if there is Miss Luo to reach out and help, so that the local people can live better, Mao is grateful!"

"That's it, that's it!"

Mao Jue agreed without thinking about it, and got his consent, Luo Ning's delicate little face was suddenly filled with a smug smile like a little fox who had stolen grapes, and hurriedly took the beautiful feather fan to cover it tightly, leaving only a pair of watery eyebrows and crescents.

…………

Or this broken road, this time there are more than 1,700 infantry who didn't even resist the gun, this time it was a full three days, so many soldiers and horses Mao Jue did not dare to put in the suburbs of Hangzhou, this year's cheap imperial history is like the Internet trolls of later generations, Mao Jue does not want to be bitten hard by someone behind the mine, take advantage of the night to send the recruited southern soldiers through Nanguan, first send them to Hangzhou Bay, transport them to Zhoushan to wait.

Su Yi was stuffed back by him first, followed Luo Ning home first, and when he returned to Luo's manor, it was almost four o'clock in the morning, Mao Jue was arranged by Mao Jue to overseer the liaison ship, and the rest of the soldiers had to be settled by himself.

But at this point, there was actually a dark shadow sitting at the door of the guest room, watching Mao Jue come back, this guy immediately took three steps and made two steps to come over.

"Oh, master, you can be regarded as back!"

"Mr. Zheng, it's so late, you haven't gone to sleep yet?"

"Where can I sleep?"

In Mao Jue's surprised look, the old guy slapped his thigh suddenly, his old face was wrinkled like an old orange peel, and said sadly: "General, you don't know, you have been gone for a few days, something has happened!" ”

…………

The plain clothes are "cooked", and this girl was directly dragged to bed by Mao Jue, although this girl has been injured a lot these days, but Yin Hong's little mouth, there is always something else to play with. Fortunately, she slept like a kitten in the back room, and Mao Jue could also shrink in the alley of the outhouse and talk about things with Zheng Duo.

"In the generation of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Hangzhou, the price of northern goods has fallen by almost fifty percent, the best mink has fallen from the original ten taels of silver to five taels, and the high-grade ginseng has fallen by eight taels, and the northern goods we brought have lost 960,000 taels at once!"

This amount is almost worth the value of the entire city of a northern county town, and Mao Jue, who listened to it, almost vomited blood, and knocked on the table with great sadness.

"Why did the price drop so much suddenly? It's warm in spring, don't you wear mink? But spring is also the time for ginseng tonic, so it won't be so cheap? ”

"Do you know, master?"

Zheng Duo's old orange peel face looked at the east courtyard with an extremely sad face, and stretched out his finger.

"That man's masterpiece!"

"Her Luo family was a merchant in the north in the early years, it is said that there is Mongolian blood, to the grandparents, this is to move to this Hangzhou, relying on the relationship in the north, the Luo family is mainly engaged in this northern goods! It can be said that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Luo family is the largest one, and at least sixty percent of the northern goods in the market are in the hands of the Luo family. ”

"Do you know what this guy's nickname is? Raccoon!"

"Originally, the Luo family suffered in the past few years, her grandfather, father, and two uncles who were in charge of the matter all suffered disasters, either when they received goods in the north, or they had dysentery, they died of illness, and in three years, the Luo family actually had a pair of sisters and brothers left, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and their Luo family and their own family all followed the door to make trouble, and those distant uncles and uncles wanted to divide the family property, and smashed the gate of Luofu, and even her family's slaves rose up to rebel, and burned a few Zhuangzi, we all thought that the Luo family was finished, but guess what?"

The old face twitched, and this old maritime businessman who had been running along the coast of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fuzhou for most of his life shook his head with emotion.

"No one knows what happened that night, but those minions went down all of a sudden, four fierce uncles and uncles of the Luo family, two died suddenly, one committed madness, and one embezzled family property, and was thrown into the Hangzhou Mansion Prison, now I don't know where it rots, she is a woman, and I don't know how many hungry wolves retract their claws."

"General, the old man still thinks you know about this little vixen!"

Heartbroken, the old guy rubbed his thighs sadly, he really didn't want to shoot anymore, his legs had already made him swollen.

"...... Lori, Lori ......."

I really didn't expect that this Jiangnan girl, who is as delicate as an official lady, actually has such the ability to call for wind and rain, muttered a few sentences, and Mao Jue spread her hands sadly.

"But why is she lowering the price so much? We can't sell it, won't she lose it herself? ”

"My general! Aren't you her biggest head? ”
