The sturdy life of crossing

After the situation in Yunyang County settled down, Jian Leyang also had time to deal with other things. The people who went to Tonghai Town had already brought back the goods, but then there was an incident of foreigners breaking in, and the pile of goods had been piled up in the warehouse. It hasn't moved, but it can't always pile up moldy like this, it must be realized as soon as possible.

When Jian Leyang brought Zhang Meng and the others into the warehouse, although they had seen it before, Zhang Meng and the others still stared straight at them. Although the risk of going to sea was much higher than that of river transportation, it was too easy to make a fortune. According to Jiang Zuofei himself, they went to sea When I met a group of pirates who wanted to rob them, they were robbed. I learned from them that there was a gold mine on a small island, so Jiang Zuofei took people to the island and brought back a lot of gold. The gold nuggets contained too many impurities, but they couldn't bear the amount too much.

"Boss, what should we do with the gold?" Jiang Zuofei didn't know what to do with it, so he handed over all of them to Jian Leyang. Jiang Zuofei knew that the boss was always generous, and as long as it could be cashed out, they would definitely have their share.

Jian Leyang picked up a gold brick and tossed it casually in his hand, sighing: "There are still too few manpower, we should recruit more manpower Zhang Meng and Qiu Tan twitched the corners of their mouths, and it was the boss who disliked the Canghe Gang." There are few people now, the current scale of the Canghe Gang, the members here, Tongluohai and other branches add up to enough people, this does not include the peripheral people who work for the Canghe Gang, but the boss said that If you want people, you have to recruit people.”

"What kind of person is the boss looking for?"

"Let's find more craftsmen who can make gold ornaments and other accessories. Let's open a jewelry shop and make jewelry, and the price of these gold and gems can be raised." In addition to gold, there are many gems, some of which are from pirates Some of the items I snatched were traded from passing merchants using porcelain and silk tea. As for other items such as spices, most of them have been sold to local merchants at other docks. The shop makes more money, but it can't be said that way, because in this way, the funds can be returned quickly, and it is easier not to reveal the identity.

Jiang Zuofei also sent some of those spices. Jian Leyang was not interested, so he handed them over to Xie Wenyi. He was the only one who had been in contact with this kind of stuff. Jian Leyang, like other rough men, knew nothing about it. It was better that Jian Leyang still knew the names of some spices. head.

Zhang Meng's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they said with great fighting spirit: "The boss's idea is a good one. Let's let the brothers everywhere hurry up and try to set up the jewelry workshop by the end of the year, and the shop will be opened next year. When the time comes, hehe..."

They know that the boss is going to the capital, and the Canghe gang can take this opportunity to expand their influence to the capital. The shop should be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital by the end of next year. There are people around.

Of course, such a good gem can only be sold at a higher price if it is opened at the feet of the emperor. Of course, it will also be opened in the south of the Yangtze River. His vision is still a little longer.

"Then I'll leave it to you. We need to find some craftsmen with good craftsmanship. Of course, they will all be treated favorably." Jian Leyang said. One is the boss who complains and wants to leave. The salary is too high, and their family members can also join Canghe Gang. When the first snow fell this winter, Jian Wenyuan and the youngest son of the Yu family were also busy I rushed back, and if I didn’t come back, the river would be frozen, so I had to go by land. Although letters and news came back regularly during the time I was away, I knew that he had grown a lot outside, but it was still not as emotional as seeing it with my own eyes. Moreover, she has grown a lot taller, and the baby fat on her face has gradually receded, and she looks a lot more stable.

After all, you have to make up your own mind to deal with everything outside, you can't rely on others for everything, you have to force yourself to grow up quickly, but when you get home, you become lively, eat and drink, and become his brother again Little tail.

"Brother, brother, Xiao Niu wrote me a letter, saying that the Canghe gang did something big? Brother, what did you do? Xiao Niu is also stupid, and I haven't found out your identity until now."

The reputation of the Canghe Gang is very good, so Tian Xiaoniu wanted to try the Canghe Gang. Tian Lizheng was not very firm in his opposition, and Zhao Erhu took care of him, so in the end he let Tian Xiaoniu go. At that time, he felt that he might not be able to choose. Go in and let Zhao Erhu do business, but Tian Lizheng didn't expect that the biggest backer was not Zhao Erhu, but the leader of the entire Canghe gang. At that time, Zhao Erhu was so happy.

After Tian Xiaoniu got his wish, he often brags in front of Jian Wenyuan how great the Canghe Gang is, how powerful the Le Gang leader is, and now the Le gang leader has replaced Jian Leyang as his number one worship object. Jian Wenyuan vomited to death, but he couldn't tell this kid the truth. The object of his worship now is actually the same person as Jian Leyang, who has been relegated to the second position. Every time he sees Tian Xiaoniu's incomparable embarrassment, he can't help thinking, What kind of face will Tian Xiaoniu show when he knows the truth?At that time, he will definitely take the current situation and make a good joke of him.

This time, before he came back, he received a letter from this kid. In the letter, he boasted that the Canghe Gang had done another earth-shattering event. Said, but also to find out from Fa Xiao.

Jian Leyang was happy: "Xiaoniu didn't participate, so he heard it from hearsay. Why do you care about him? And the rules of the Canghe Gang are there. Even if he knows, he can't say it." He didn't talk to Tian in the Canghe Gang. Xiao Niu had been in contact with him head-on, so Tian Xiaoniu could be forgiven for not recognizing him. He joined for a short time, was young, and lacked combat experience, so he was not able to participate in this operation.

"Brother, I'm your younger brother, so I'll always know." The more Jian Wenyuan was kept in the dark, the more curious he became. Tian Xiaoniu's exaggeration in his letter was definitely not a small gesture.

Jian Leyang did not hide it this time, and told about the matter of taking people to block the foreigners. Jian Wenyuan was shocked when he heard it, and then danced and danced, regretting that he didn't come back earlier, otherwise he could go and see it: "Brother, you Why didn't you tell me earlier, I can come back early if you tell me."

Jian Leyang flicked his forehead, no matter how steady he was, he was still his younger brother, so he flicked his forehead: "With your small body, follow and give the enemy a head!"

Jian Wenyuan covered his forehead and was depressed. It is so easy to have a brother in his head.

Li Xiucai received a letter from his friend in Yunyang County, and came here to tell Father Jian: "The court's decree has come down, and Changxian Wei, the acting county magistrate, has officially taken office. I was detained and sent to the capital, this time it was really dangerous, thanks to Liu Shoubei and Lord He who arrived in time, otherwise the County Commander Chang, no, the County Magistrate Chang would not be able to guard Yunyang County."

Li Xiucai is from Yunyang County, and he still knows a little about Chang County Magistrate, who has been promoted to an official position. He thought that if the rescue was not timely, the Chang County Magistrate would probably lead people to abandon the city and flee, and it would be hard. The common people in Yicheng, although his wife and children are all here, but there are still relatives in Yunyang County, so they are terrified when they know the situation there afterwards, and they appreciate the county magistrate He Yunzhang even more. I also met magistrate He twice.

"It seems that both Liu Shoubei and Mr. He got the news of the barbarian intrusion in advance, so that they could appear under the Yunyang County at a critical time, but that He County... Anyway, Yunyang County is far away from the He County Magistrate Maybe it's a good thing, and the Liu family has also left."

The Liu family colluded with the county magistrate He, covering the sky in Yunyang County, especially Liu Yingzhi and Yue Xianzhi, who often did evil deeds of bullying men and women, and the life of ordinary people was not easy.

"Anyway, the result is good. I heard that many people in the city followed the county magistrate to resist foreign enemies that night. It was they who were able to delay the time until the rescue arrived." Father Jane echoed. In fact, he knew more details. To be specific, but there are some things that cannot be said. Knowing that none of those foreigners could escape, Father Jian feels very proud.

Not only Li Xiucai and Father Jian were talking about this matter, but the villagers of Yong'an Village were also gossiping. For a long time, true and false rumors were everywhere, but some of them were true. For example, some villages were slaughtered. Well, the people in Yong'an Village were terrified after hearing this. Fortunately, they didn't come in their direction. Otherwise, even if the county magistrate rushed over to retreat from the enemy, he might not be able to protect the entire village. Chopped.

"Head of the family, have you heard from the outside that several villages have been slaughtered, those barbarians should be damned, there are people who say that someone deliberately let them in, you say it can't be true, right?" Aunt Zhao told After the village woman wentssip, she went home and told her man that she heard that the Liu family in Yunyang County sent a steward out of the city, but those barbarians couldn't listen to it, so they chopped it down with a knife. Some people said that Liu's house lured wolves into the house.

Tian Lizheng glanced at his daughter-in-law indifferently. The ignorance of the wife and the people in the village is a blessing. I don’t know that he was worried all day long, and he couldn’t sleep well at night. When the news from Yunyang County came, he completely Relaxed and fell asleep for a long time. This daughter-in-law was so big-hearted that she didn't notice it at all, so she didn't know what to say.

"You don't care what the outside world says, the affairs of the Liu family are beyond the control of ordinary people. Even if they really lured wolves into the house, they will suffer the consequences." Mrs. Jian and Brother Yang didn't make it clear to him, that's why he was so worried. But when those people ran towards Yunyang County, Tian Li was secretly thinking for a while whether it was the Canghe gang who did something.

He would have guessed that Canghe Gang was on him, because his youngest son was very excited during that time, he just said a few words as an old man, saying that Canghe Gang had done a shocking event, thinking of the situation in Yunyang County and Jane Father's instruction, Brother Yang's arrangement, he had to connect these few things.

Moreover, Tian Li felt that he had discovered something extraordinary. Of course, this was only his own speculation, but he felt that eight or nine times out of ten, it was the invincible and invincible hero that his youngest son talked about all day long. The head of the Canghe Gang, who is probably the brother Yang of their village, is really too suspicious, but he can only keep this matter in his heart, instead of asking Mrs. Jian and Brother Yang, As for the younger son U, let him be kept in the dark, so as not to make a fuss or not to make progress.

"You are right as the head of the family, but it is the county magistrate who is reaping the consequences. The Liu family has a great career, and it is easy to stay anywhere if you leave Yunyang County. In that case, it is not our common people's business to worry about their affairs. "Aunt Zhao said happily, the wealth of the Liu family is something that they have heard about in Yong'an Village, especially after the Liu Mansion and the Canghe Gang fought against each other, the village talked about it even more. Now that the members of the Liu family have escaped, At most, everyone gloated at others' misfortune and didn't feel that the life of the Liu family would be difficult.

Tian Zhengli echoed and said, "Yeah, it's our little people's turn to worry about it, we just need to live our own lives well." He also thought to himself, his wife thinks things are really simple, Liu's family can really keep themselves when they leave Yunyang County This winter, the villagers of Yong'an Village are living a good life. With some spare cash in their hands, they bought a lot of ingredients from other places early on from the wharf of Canghe Town, and saved a few dishes for the dinner table during the Chinese New Year. I don't know the life of the common people on the border, but the lives of the people who broke into the grass and valleys in the border are not limited to this group of people who ran outside Yunyang County. Wu, such a responsible military officer, didn't stop until the heavy snow sealed the land.

Jian Leyang asked the logistics staff of the Canghe Gang to rush to make a batch of winter clothes and send them over, relying on the court?That's still hopeless.

Beijing.

A jewelry shop named "Cangcui Pavilion" quietly appeared on the street. Occasionally passers-by walked in and found that the jewelry inside was no worse than those well-known big shops. Except for the exquisite workmanship of the gold jewelry, the quality of the gemstones was also the same. Not good, so this jewelry shop spread in the mouths of some officials and eunuchs.

Cangcui Pavilion has been very low-key since its appearance, and has not deliberately promoted its entry into the ranks of officials and nobles. Although it has a lot of repeat customers through word of mouth, its reputation in the capital is not very good.However, the repeat customers who often come to the door are curious about who the owner behind this shop is. As for any jewelry shop that can gain a firm foothold in the capital, which one does not have a solid backer? To attract other people's attention | come here, the backing is not strong, and the owner can't keep the shop.

Interested people observed for a while, and they found out that they actually saw the young master of the Huangshang Hua family going in and out of this shop several times, so someone asked the Hua family whether this shop was newly opened by the Hua family or not. The words were vague, neither admitted nor denied, but some people who wanted to make up their minds stopped and decided to continue to wait and see.
