Chapter 685: Man dies for money

After informing the gentry in the city, Mrs. Hu donated her family property to the Ming army and took the whole family to the countryside.

If he had expected that the army of the Ming Dynasty would occupy Jiangling, he would not have been involved in the affairs of Jiangling at all when Jiangling was in chaos, but now it is too late to say anything, and the people who do business are not afraid of anything else, they are afraid of facing failure.

Sometimes the market is obviously not good, but to press all the net worth, want to hold on to the final victory, this kind of gambler's heart will make many business masters die without a place to bury, the wisest choice is a strong man to break his wrist, do business with a give-and-take, it is normal to lose, don't desperately smash your net worth, your net worth is a lot in your opinion, but put it into the market is a drop in the bucket.

Many people also knew the news of the Hu family's withdrawal from Gangneung City, but they didn't react, firstly, they felt that yesterday's dinner was in a good atmosphere, and their family was able to base themselves on Gangneung and rule Gangneung. Second, Mrs. Hu is too old, and in their opinion, this old man is timid, maybe he was scared out of his courage during the dinner.

Old lady Hu naturally won't explain anything to them, the Ming army in the city is destined to take some people, if he wants to save other people, the price is that his own people have to be left behind, and those people will never give up their property.

People die for money, birds die for food, this sentence is not wrong at any time, those people only feel that Old Lady Hu is old, and they don't smell the risk at all, and they also blindly feel that they will immediately replace the Hu family's position in Jiangling City and become the number one family in Jiangling City, these days have almost broken the threshold of Qin Yue.

Qin Yue didn't have time to ink with them, and after the army rested, the army that was left to guard the city continued to march. At this time, Zhou Peigong quietly came to Jiangling City. He broke an arm, but he did not lose his will, and his husband was born between heaven and earth, and he should make meritorious contributions and leave a name for all generations.

At the beginning, the reason why he worked under the banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was to make a name for himself, but later Tu Hai cut off his arm, and naturally he was depressed for a while, but a period of time in Xi'an Mansion has allowed him to fully recover. He seems to have found a new direction, this Ming regime is not the previous rotten Ming regime, but a regime full of new smell, all institutions are vigorous and upward, and the notorious Jinyiwei does not seem to be so hateful.

Now that his family has been transported here, he has no choice but to go all the way to the dark, it is easy to survive, but in order to pursue his fame in history, he must come back to work harder, so he redoubled his efforts in Xi'an, and finally everything in Xi'an Mansion is on the right track, and he is also integrated into the system of the Ming Dynasty, and now his official position has become the governor of Central Hubei of the Ming Dynasty.

According to the old system of the Ming Dynasty, there is naturally no such official position, but the matter is urgent, and now the vast part of the lake is not in their own hands, if it is called the governor of Huguang, let people laugh and not say, it will also cause Wu Sangui to be vigilant enough, so he first called himself the governor of central Hubei.

Jiangling's problem is similar to Xiangyang's problem, at the beginning, many of the big families here all chose to join the thieves, these people just want to live, there is no big sin, so Cheng Xiaolian did not plan to pay for the blood debt, but since he betrayed the Ming Dynasty, it is always necessary to pay back some interest, anyway, they must have saved a lot of family property.

If their family property is directly seized, it will inevitably cause a backlash from the gentry class in the world, so Cheng Xiaolian must bite the charge of thieves to cut off a piece of the flesh of these big families, and then use this piece of meat to relieve the people in Hubei and quickly calm down the situation.

Because the matter is very urgent, if the rear cannot be stabilized, it will be very troublesome for the Shanhe Army to fight in the front, so Cheng Xiaolian did not plan to intrigue with them, and directly showed his sharp fangs.

Zhou Peigong took office this time with a team of brocade guards, nearly fifty people, as long as he didn't encounter a large-scale army, no one could hurt him, but he was not in a hurry to take office, but began to visit the people.

For a person with a broken arm, people always have some pity, and most people still have compassion for those who are worse off than themselves, so the news that Zhou Peigong inquired about almost fell into his ears.

"Those gentry in Gangneung, they are the most unscrupulous, this is not what I said, this is what my grandfather told me, why do you say? Of course, it was they who organized these poor people to meet the thieves, and in the end they hooked up with the thieves, saying that the good people would become a bullshit if they didn't pay food, and they also said that we people are thieves and are born to be thieves. ”

"Yes, those people are just too bastards, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty ordered the shaving of their heads, they were the first to take the lead in shaving their heads, and they also helped the government to find out who didn't shave their heads, but they also had hot faces and pasted on people's cold butts, people didn't look down on these minions at all, they wanted to marry their daughters to others, and they stayed at home as maids, and they also grabbed a lot of silver in their hands and left, they were also seriously injured, and they only recovered in the past two years."

"That's right, a few days ago, we heard that they rebelled against those brutes of the Geng family's army, and we thought that their conscience had found out, but when they turned around, they began to frown with Geng Jingzhong again, and I heard that they all worshiped their brothers."

"Also, the army of the Ming Dynasty came back, we thought we were going to clean them up, who knew that he worshiped the general of the Ming Dynasty again, and it didn't seem like a show, people like us died in the war, and it was people like us who suffered after the war, hey, what kind of bullshit is in the world."

Zhou Peigong naturally knew that they ordinary people had added their own emotional colors to what they said, what to call the girl, the brother, this is all something they imagine, but they can only think like this, comfort and comfort themselves, although the dark clouds obscure the sunny sky, but there will always be a day when the clouds and mist are cleared and the blue sky is seen.

Zhou Peigong smiled bitterly: "Since they are so excessive, why don't they go to the government to sue them?" ”

"Hey, why don't you understand, they are in the same group as the government, and we can't come back if we go."

"What if you could sue them?"

"Don't be whimsical, can this world change? It's all powerful people who have the final say, and those of us who have endured hardships all our lives, didn't accumulate blessings in our previous lives, and ended up digging in the soil, doing more good things in this life, maybe we will also be the masters in the next life. ”

Zhou Peigong said loudly: "If you can sue them, do you dare to sue?" ”
