Wei Youqing insisted on refusing and must give money. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wu Xing saw Wei Youqing's resolute attitude and said: "Wei Gongzi, we don't talk in secret, Wei Gongzi's deal, Wu Xing should give money!" ”
As he spoke, he actually stood up and knelt down on one knee in front of Wei Youqing.
Wei Youqing was startled at first, then understood something, stepped forward to help Wu Xing, and said: "Brother Wu, no matter whose family members are, they are all people of Tanzhou, Youqing will be properly settled, and Brother Wu doesn't need to be like this." ”
Wu Xing saw Wei Youqing say it, and he was even more ashamed in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from Wei Gongzi, I don't wear this skin in the next place!" In the next place, he is the leader of the Tanzhou Gang of the Che Ma Gang, Tanzhou has been besieged for so long, where can the Che Ma Gang still have food? In order to make a living for the whole gang, I took my brothers to eat this bowl of rice. ”
When Wei Youqing heard the words "Carriage and Horse Gang", his heart was shocked. There are many chariot and horse gangs, and they are all over Jiangnan Province, Wu Yue Kingdom, Chu State and Lingnan and other southern countries, as long as they are related to land transportation, they can see the shadow of the chariot and horse gangs.
Wei Youqing hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be the Wu gang leader of the Che Ma Gang, it's really disrespectful." ”
Wu Xing waved his hand again and again and sighed: "Where are you embarrassed to mention the three words of the carriage and horse gang now?" It's just a shame for Master Zu! Wei Gongzi could think of doing such a good thing for the people of Tanzhou, but he only cared about his own life and death, and he felt extremely ashamed! ”
Wei Youqing said: "Gang Master Wu will be outside when he says such a thing. Youqing is engaged in the tea business in Daozhou, and is quite close to the Liu gang leader of the Daozhou Che Ma Gang. Youqing originally wanted to help the people of Tanzhou this time, but he didn't expect to be able to help his friends, which is really a blessing in life. I don't know what to call Gang Leader Wu and Gang Leader Liu? ”
Wu Xingxi said: "Is Liu the leader?" When it comes to seniority, it's my uncle below. Wei Gongzi is actually a friend of his uncle, so he has to shout uncle. ”
Of course, Wei Youqing knew that Wu Xing was related to Liu Song of the Daozhou Carriage and Horse Gang. There are inextricable links between the people of the car and horse gang all over the world, and their general rudder is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are transported by land, except for the people of the car and horse gang, no one else wants to interfere. Even if it is a government-run organization like the Tea Merchants Guild, don't want to bypass the chariot and horse gang.
Wei Youqing saw that Wu Xing really wanted to salute him, so he hurriedly helped Wu Xing and said, "Is Gang Leader Wu going to torture Youqing?" We brothers have our own opinions. You're still my big brother. ”
Wu Xing didn't really want to salute Wei Youqing, a young man who was less than twenty years old, and with Wei Youqing's help, Wu Xing returned to his original seat, and the two continued to talk about leaving Tanzhou.
It turned out that this Wu Xing took the whole gang of young adults to join the army, thinking that he could get some food, earn some military salaries, feed the whole gang, and let the whole gang survive this extraordinary life. I don't think that the military salary in the army has not been paid for a long time, and the food is not even enough for oneself, where can I support the whole family?
Wu Xing didn't hide it from Wei Youqing, and told all the difficulties in the gang to Wei Youqing's bamboo tube and poured beans.
Wu Xing finally said depressedly: "The big grain merchants in Tanzhou have grain in their hands. It's just that the grain is to be used as military rations. It's said that it's nothing to make military rations, so what are our brothers trying to do? But these military rations have also been deducted layer by layer. When it really came into the hands of the brothers, that is, barely enough to eat for themselves, where was there any surplus for women and children to eat? If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it's really going to be eaten! can only be handed over to Wei Gongzi to take out! ”
Wei Youqing asked tentatively: "Are the people who Gang Leader Wu asked Youqing to take away are the women and children in the gang?" ”
Wu Xing's face was gloomy, and there was a sharp light in his single eye. This fierce gaze was naturally not aimed at Wei Youqing, but lowered his head and looked at the ground.
"Take the women and children away first! So that the man can free his hands! The Carriage and Horse Gang is not a breed that only cares about running for their own lives! Our fathers and fellow villagers have fed us, and we have to rescue them! ”
Wei Youqing understood what Wu Xing was going to do, and he wanted to go back to Daozhou to ask Li Chengyu to send troops to meet Wu Xing, but then stopped again. If he said this, Wu Xing would suspect that he was the one sent by Li Chengyu to rebel, and it would be a bad thing.
"After the woman and the child are taken out, will they be handed over to Gang Leader Liu?"
Wu Xing showed a painful look on his face, and sighed: "Luck is like this, so I have to let them send people to the fence!" If we men are gone......"
Wei Youqing said with a smile: "Gang Leader Wu, women don't necessarily have to be supported by men to survive. Youqing wants to set up spinning factories all over Chudi, but men can't do these jobs. As long as you do it well, the salary will naturally be good. Naturally, the children should gather together and ask the husband to teach him to read. What does Gang Leader Wu think of Youqing's idea? ”
Wei Youqing did have this plan, and even Li Chengyu praised the linen cloth on Pearl Island, and he also brought a lot of them to Luoyang this time, and put them on sale in Pintingju, which was actually very popular. The meditative lady chalcedony, but said that although these linen cloths are peculiar and gorgeous, it is not very comfortable to wear the linen cloth after the summer, so it is better to try to weave these gorgeous twine threads in the cotton cloth of Chudi.
When Wei Youqing was about to return to Pearl Island, he brought out Wa Cricket to instruct the women on how to weave cloth, and then talked to Hu Siyuan about working with his cotton plantation.
Thinking like this, Wei Youqing couldn't help but feel itchy, there was nothing more sad for him than having a good idea but not being able to do it.
Wu Xing nodded again and again, and the two discussed the specific details of leaving Tanzhou. It was not the first time that Wu Xing had done the thing of letting people out of the city after the four gates were blocked, and many people took Wu Xing's way to run from the north gate to Daozhou.
Because the prefect of the north gate guard knew Wu Xing's origin, he didn't dare to care about him, and let him earn this extra money. Wu Xing had the idea of entrusting his family out of Tanzhou very early, but there was no suitable person.
Now seeing that Wei Youqing is so righteous that he has to spend a lot of money and take risks to take away these unknown people, Wu Xingcai started to think about it.
The two agreed that Wei Youqing would go out of the north gate first and rush to Daozhou, and then return after finding someone to answer, there were hundreds of people in the Tanzhou Carriage and Horse Gang, and there were nearly 200 family members. Probably half of them are women and half of them are children.
"Ignorant children can't be taken away, Brother Wu, you have to be considerate of me."
Wu Xing smiled helplessly: "Yes, I understand." There's no way around it. ”
If the child doesn't go, the child's mother naturally can't go. In this way, two of the ten stops are removed, and there are more than 100 people. Wei Youqing calculated that if a large cart was used to transport people, even if a cart could seat twenty people, it would take almost ten cars to transport it.
It is impossible to walk together, even if these more than 100 people are late at night, they don't want to get close to the gate of Tanzhou.
In the end, it was agreed to leave in batches, one or twenty people every night, and these twenty people should also approach the city gate in batches, and Wu Xing would take care of these things.
Wei Youqing only took care of taking people and cars to meet outside the city.
