Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 189

County Magistrate He murmured, Yuan Zhang is a wealthy family in the county, and usually takes money from other people, so it would be shameful not to help at critical moments.But this Wu Song is not easy to mess with, a knife is worth thousands of sticks, not to mention that this is a dispute, and it cannot be killed with a stick.

County magistrate He said: "Mr. Zhang, what Wu Dalang said is not unreasonable. His appearance is indeed a bit ugly. Betrothing Pan Jinlian to Wu Song is a beautiful thing. Now that the marriage certificate is done, it is done. It’s useless to talk about it. How about this, you maidservant bought it with a lot of money at the time, and Wu Song will pay you ten times.”

Zhang Yuanwai was about to cry. Taking advantage of others' danger, he bought Pan Jinlian for a tael of silver back then, so what if it was ten times as much.

Wu Dalang is holding Pan Jinlian's deed of prostitution, and it clearly says one tael of silver.

Wu Dalang gave Wu Song a wink, and Wu Song said: "Jinlian's deed is one tael of silver. It is not easy to raise Jinlian in the past few years. It is equivalent to Jinlian's natal family. I pay twenty times, 20 taels of silver Zhang Yuanwai."

Speaking of which, Wu Song took out 20 taels of silver and handed it to Zhang Yuanwai, who was so angry that he had nothing to do.Everyone in Qinghe County knew that Wu Song was a stunned young man. If he really got mad at him, killing and arson would not be a big deal.

"Okay, let's settle the matter and have no further contact." Zhang Yuanwai said.

The county magistrate He was very happy and said: "This official is wise and powerful. He turned hostility into friendship and mediated the dispute between Zhang Yuanwai and Wu Dalang. It will be recorded in the county annals, and it will be passed down as a good story in the future."

"Good sir," said the clerk.

"Mighty." Withdrew.

Zhang Yuanwai left, and Wu Dalang, Wu Song, and Pan Jinlian also left.

The master came over and said: "Wudu head, go slowly, my lord invites you to talk in the back hall."

Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian were waiting in front. Wu Song followed the master to the back hall. He was quite particular. The pavilions, terraces, pavilions, rockeries and lotus ponds had the style of Suzhou gardens. The Zhao family liked flowers and stones, and the officials below tried to imitate them, so that it affected The atmosphere of the entire Song Dynasty.

Master He changed his clothes and waited for Wu Song in the living room.

After seeing the ceremony, Magistrate He said: "Wudu head, please sit down."

Wu Song was not too polite, the prefect had seen it all, so why be afraid of a small county magistrate.

Wu Song said: "Thank you County Magistrate He for today's matter."

County Magistrate He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's probably just Zhang Yuanwai's vindictiveness. A reconciliation is good for everyone."

The county magistrate He obviously had something to do with him, but he refused to speak directly. After chatting for a while, he said, "Since Wudutou works in Cangzhou, he knows the owner of Chaijiazhuang."

Wu Song said: "Yes, I don't know what your lord is doing."

County Magistrate He said: "My native place is from Mount Wuyi. There is an older brother in the family who runs a business. He travels to Quanzhou to Dongping Mansion all the year round. He has taken a fancy to Chaijiazhuang's soap and four-wheeled carriage. He wants to talk about business, but he is afraid that there will be no one. Recommended, then wrote to the official."

Wu Song knew that Chai Lin Xiangzao and the four-wheeled carriage were very big, but he was a military general, and military generals were not allowed to participate in the management. This was the rule.

Wu Song said: "My lord, I can only recommend Zhou Fu, the shopkeeper of Chai Zhuang. As for whether the business can be negotiated, it is not up to me alone. The prefect Su of Cangzhou Prefecture talked with the owner of Chai Zhuang. It has to be discussed."

"It's natural. Don't worry, Wu Dutou, no matter if you succeed or fail, the officer will thank you."

Wu Song said: "I wrote a letter, and my lord asked the shopkeeper to take it to Cangzhou Mansion to find the shopkeeper Zhou Fuda, and let them have a detailed interview."

Wu Song briefly wrote a letter of introduction and explained the matter.

The county magistrate He accepted the letter contentedly, and arranged for someone to return Wu Song's waist knife.

Wu Song got up and said, "My lord, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."

County Magistrate He said: "Go back to Wudu for the first time. Then I will order you to go down and let the street patrols take care of Dalang more, and don't let people bully him."

Wu Song said goodbye and left, very surprised. He didn't expect Brother Chai Lin to have such great energy, even a county magistrate had to curry favor with himself when he heard of his reputation.

When a group of people returned home, the whole family was very happy.

Wu Dalang sighed: "Erlang, you are really promising and capable. Is your knife very valuable? Why does the county magistrate give face after seeing it?"

"This is the snowflake iron knife that my brother personally gave me. It can cut gold and iron, and it can't be measured by money." Wu Song said.

Pan Jinlian went to the kitchen to cook. This Jinlian is not only beautiful, she is also good at cooking, proficient in frying, frying and frying.

Wu Dalang pulled Wu Song to his room and opened his private money.

"In the past few years, I have been selling cooking cakes from dawn to dusk, and I have accumulated 80 taels of silver. Adding the 100 taels of silver you gave me, I have nearly 200 taels of silver here. If I can make good use of it, maybe I can expand my business , does Erlang have any good ideas?" Wu Dalang said.

Wu Song doesn't know how to run a business, but I have to use my brain when I ask. After thinking for a while, I slapped my head and said: "The restaurant, the restaurant opened by Chaijiazhuang, has more big car shops, and the profit is very good. No matter what year it is Eating is always the first priority, I remember my brother would make a stewed goose in an iron pot, stew it in a pot, serve it with two pancakes, most people would be full, and it would not be a problem to sell it for seven or eight yuan."

Wu Dalang shook his head and said, "A big goose costs tens or hundreds of Wen, and a goose can make a dozen bowls at most. Wouldn't it be worth paying for a bowl of eight Wen?"

"No no, big goose stewed in an iron pot can't be all goose meat, so I need to study the combination. What kind of vegetables are cheap to match with what kind of vegetables, and there can be three or two pieces of goose meat in a bowl. It's just a taste. You If you really make a bowl of goose meat, some people will come to trouble with sores on their backs after eating it, so the goose meat must be less and mainly vegetarian dishes." Wu Song said.

Wu Dalang suddenly realized, and said: "In this way, a big goose can sell at least fifty bowls. I remembered that our family has a pond of more than ten acres in the village, and the third uncle has been planting lotus roots for so many years. If you hire someone from your family, it’s not a problem to raise a thousand or eight hundred geese. When you’re hungry, you can eat grass. If you raise geese, you can also raise fish, and you can have a good harvest of lotus roots.”

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go home tomorrow. But before I go home, I must buy some good clothes. Owner Chai often said that we only look at clothes and not people. This is the way of the world. We can only adapt."

Da Lang said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Da Lang went out and bought two sets of silk clothes for himself. No matter how he wore them, he looked like a rich man. When he wore the shiny gold ring on his finger, he looked very arrogant.

Wu Song looked at it and said, "No, it's almost there, brother is waiting at home."

Seeing that Wu Song was about to go out, Pan Jinlian said, "Officer, take me to go shopping together."

Wu Song said: "Okay, my lady will go with me."

Wu Song is really good, and he is very rare for this daughter-in-law. He went shopping all the way and bought silk fabrics, rouge and gouache for his daughter-in-law.

After leaving the east gate of Qinghe City, there is a market for mules and horses. In the afternoon, there are not many people and horses.

Pan Jinlian asked: "Officer, what are we doing here?"

Wu Song said: "We will go back to Cangzhou in a few days. My brother is easy to be bullied in Qinghe County alone. I will pack it for him so that he can go to the village to recruit some helpers."

"Ok."

There are a lot of farm horses in the market, which are big and heavy, and they pull carts to plow the land.There are also many donkeys, but they are all short and not as tall as the black-headed donkey.

Suddenly, a huge camel came into view. The advantage of the camel is that it lies on the ground and is ridden on the back, and when it reaches the place, it lies down again.Moreover, it is very convenient and safe for people to ride between the two humps.

Wu Song tried it, and the camel was really honest and docile.

The man who sold the camel said: "This is the first five-year-old fan camel. It ran across the Western Regions with the caravan. It will not be needed this year, so I want to sell it to him. I sincerely want 35 taels of silver."

Wu Song didn’t have much research on camels, but he saw the camels of the Chang’an caravan in Cangzhou. They were indeed good things. They had big feet and walked steadily. high.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation.At the beginning, there were too few monthly tickets, and some gave a few more.
