Fei Yinggong asked curiously, "You have come all the way from the lead mountain, and you won't go with me when you get the money. What do you want to do?"

Zhao Han grinned and said, "I said I was going to rebel, would you believe me?"

"Uh……"

Fei Yinggong was at a loss for words, and looked horizontally and vertically. Zhao Han didn't seem to be lying, and he couldn't help laughing and crying: "You are really ambitious, I never thought of rebelling."

Zhao Han pointed to the mountains and said, "You are in the mountains, and I am outside the mountains, so we can take care of each other. If you want to go down the mountain to loot, go to Yongxin County, don't come to me to loot."

"I want to see, when will your rebellion succeed." Fei Yinggong said with a smile.

Zhao Han laughed and said, "You killed the eunuch, isn't it a rebellion?"

Fei Yinggong patted his head fiercely: "I forgot about this, my motherfucker is a rebel now. Okay, they're both rebels, take care of each other, I'm in the mountains, you're outside the mountains."

"I'm sorry, brother who is on the boat, dock ahead!" Zhao Han shouted loudly.

Fei Yinggong said: "Remind you, the front is called Huangjia Village, also called Huangjia Town. Half of the people in the town have the surname Huang, and their ancestors were Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty."

Well, another big family dating back to the Tang Dynasty.

Hundreds of years later, there was the Gongge Hydropower Station here.

At this time, there were no hydropower stations, no dams and reservoirs, and the area of ​​arable land was much larger than in later generations.

There is a small wharf in Huangjia Town, which provides services for merchant ships going to Huguang. The specialties are some agricultural products and handicrafts.

Zhao Han and Zhang Tieniu worked together to carry the silver, 3000 taels, a full 80 jins, which is 95 jins in terms of apparent jins.

Then he carried the copper coins, which were more than two large boxes.

When I came to a small inn by the river, the innkeeper greeted me warmly: "Are the four of you staying at the inn?"

Zhao Han said, "Long stay, I have received a few boxes of goods, waiting for the shopkeeper to come and pack them."

"Then please come in." The shop assistant was even more happy.

Two upper rooms were selected, Zhao Han and Pang Chunlai lived in one, and Zhang Tieniu and Chen Maosheng lived in one.

Immediately after checking in, have a meeting.

Zhao Han sat cross-legged on the bed and said straight to the point: "As the saying goes, no rules can be made without rules, let's set the rules first. Establish an organization first, I'm too lazy to think of a name, let's call it Datonghui, which means the world's great unity. have opinions?"

Zhang Tieniu looked at Chen Maosheng, Chen Maosheng looked at Pang Chunlai again, and Pang Chunlai chose to close his eyes and rest.

"Since there is no opinion, then it's settled," Zhao Han continued, "The money is neither mine nor yours, but our Datonghui. This action will be rewarded in terms of merit, and you will be responsible for Maosheng. Bookkeeping, Tie Niu, you are responsible for keeping the money, and Mr. Pang is responsible for checking the accounts every month."

Chen Maosheng couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhao, are we not leaving here?"

Zhao Han explained with a smile, "I don't need to leave for the time being, I'll ask for news first, find out the situation in the villages and towns, and then look for opportunities to form a peasant association."

"What is a peasant association?" Zhang Tie Niu asked.

Zhao Han explained: "The Iron Foot Club is the porter's club, and the peasant's club is the peasant's club. Let's talk and support the peasants, and then form peasants and soldiers to force the landlords to reduce rent and interest, and force the landlords to give the farmers permanent tenure rights. If any landlord is disobedient, then he is a black-hearted landlord, so he killed the patriarch, gave his land to the children of the clan, and forced the family to split up the family! Isn't it half the surname Huang? I just see how many people want to split up the family. of."

Pang Chunlai suddenly opened his eyes and nodded approvingly: "This method is good, it doesn't rob them of their property, it just forces them to split up. The bigger the family, the more collateral branches of the sect, and the children in the clan are all ours. ."

Zhao Han said: "See if there is a private school here, sir, you can apply for a school teacher."

"It should be fine." Pang Chunlai said with a smile.

"What about me?" Zhang Tie Niu asked.

Zhao Han said: "You just keep the money, several thousand taels, I don't feel relieved if it is someone else."

Feeling that he was trusted, Zhang Tieniu immediately said joyfully, "It's on me, not to mention 3000 taels, it's 3 taels. I, Tieniu, will never run away with money."

"I... Am I going to sing?" Chen Maosheng covered the scar on his forehead and said with some inferiority, "But I'm out of shape, and I can't sing."

Zhao Han comforted: "If you wear a big hat, you won't be able to see it. You don't have to sing, just follow me every day, watch and learn more, and I'll teach you something."

"Well, I'll listen to Mr. Zhao." Chen Maosheng nodded again and again.

Zhao Han felt very tired. He had traveled thousands of miles to change places, he was unfamiliar, and there were only three people around him. Among the three, Pang Chunlai was the only one who gave him peace of mind.

I don't know what level the difficulty of this rebellion is.

Damn Master He, I originally wanted to revolt in the lead mountain!

That night, Zhang Tieniu stayed in the guest room to look after the money, while Zhao Han, Pang Chunlai, and Chen Maosheng went downstairs to eat.

When the food and drinks were served, Zhao Han told the shop assistant not to leave: "Brother, ask me something."

The shop assistant said, "Just ask the guest officer."

Zhao Han casually said nonsense: "My hometown is from Jishui, and I used to do business in Nangan. The farmers in Nangan were making trouble, and the business was not going well, so I wanted to take the business road of Huguang. My family sent me to the front station and wanted to be here. To set up a transshipment warehouse, who should I consult to buy land and build a warehouse?"

"Then you've asked the right person, I know it." The shop assistant shut up when he said this.

Zhao Han auctioned out a few copper coins: "After this is done, there are still benefits for you."

"The pride of the guest officer," the store clerk accepted the money happily, "Our Huangjia Town used to be called Huangjia Village. There is a large ancestral hall of the Huang family outside the town. Mr. Huang has the final say. You must not build warehouses too far away from the river. The good land by the river belongs to Mr. Huang. There are some gravel land on the river beach, which cannot grow crops, and no one has ever wanted it. Since no one If you want, it belongs to Mr. Huang. If you give Mr. Huang a sum of money, he will sell the gravel beach to you to build a warehouse."

"I see, thank you brother for your guidance," Zhao Han said with his fist folded. "May I ask your brother's surname?"

The shop clerk smiled and said, "Don't worry, my surname is also Huang, and my name is Huang Daliang. When my mother gave birth to me, she suffered for one night, and it was only when the sky was bright."

Zhao Han complimented: "Since it is Huangjiazhen, the Huang family must be a big family. It turns out that Brother Huang is also a son of a big family. Disrespect, disrespect."

Huang Daliang sighed and said, "We're all from the same ancestor, so I don't have that fortune. People in the ancestral home said that our ancestor was the Jiedushi envoy of the Tang Dynasty surnamed Huang, but I've never seen Dalian's genealogy so long. See you. If I don’t know each other, I will write my own name and only recognize the name of the dish on the water sign.”

Zhao Han continued to ask: "Brother Huang has been separated from the family for a long time?"

"I don't know," Huang Daliang said. "Anyway, since my grandfather's grandfather's generation, he was ploughing those few acres of thin fields. Later, the thin fields disappeared, so he could only be a tenant. The family wanted me to work as a clerk in the inn. He even lent money to the landlord and gave him a chicken."

Zhao Han said indignantly, "They all have the same clan and surname. Why are they bullying people like this? They should help each other."

Huang Daliang said with a smile: "In this world, who can help who? If you don't starve to death, even God's eyes will be opened."

Zhao Han asked again, "Is there no other big family around here?"

Huang Daliang pointed behind him: "There is a man surnamed Li in the northwest. The ancestral graves of the previous generations were smoked, but a Jinshi came out. Then the Li family got up and took up more and more land..."

"Man, why hasn't my dish been served yet?"

Suddenly, diners patted the table.

"Hey, here we come!" Huang Daliang responded and said, "Guest officer, I won't talk to you anymore, and I have to rush to serve the food."

Zhao Han raised his wine glass and smacked his lips, "Master Huang? Just don't come with Huang Shilang."

Miscalculation of silver, correct it

I miscalculated the money, and when I pressed the calculator, I multiplied it by two. The protagonist and Fei Yinggong each got 1500 taels.

Chapter 086 [The Wisher Takes the Hook]

Chongzhen six years, spring.

The thieves entered the north of Zhili, the general Yang Yuchun died in ambush, and Zhaozhou, Xishan, Shunde, and Zhending fell.

He fled to the foot of the Motian Ridge in Xingtai, recovered a little, went to Wu'an, and defeated Zuo Liangyu.The garrison Cao Ming and the chief bookkeeper Wu Yingke were all killed in battle.

The peasant army ravaged Hebei, and the capital was shaken.

At the same time, the official army besieged Dengzhou Shuicheng, and Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming fled.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the first martial arts king to hire was the one who Chongzhen dismissed a large number of military officials and ordered a re-examination.After the martial arts palace test, Wang Lai hired the deputy chief soldier of Shandong Province, and was grateful to Emperor Chongzhen. Whenever there was a war, he would take the lead and die in the siege of Kong Youde.

Shandong Suiping.

After successive wars, the imperial court ran out of money again, and ordered the provinces to send the money for the salt class as soon as possible. A total of more than 320 million taels was owed.

In addition, there were golden flowers and silver, and they were handed over quickly. This order made the life of farmers in the Jiangnan provinces difficult.Because the official land that needs to pay gold and silver has long been occupied by nobles, gentry, and tyrants, once the imperial court forces it, it means that the tenant farmers must pay the rent twice.

The world situation is getting more and more chaotic.

……

Zhao Han pulled out the silk clothes he brought from the lead mountain, and went to Huang's ancestral house with a folding fan in hand.

Plan temporary changes.

Zhao Han disguised as the son of a wealthy businessman in Jishui, Pang Chunlai was the accountant he brought, Chen Maosheng was the servant beside him, and Zhang Tieniu was the bodyguard.

"Mr. Zhao... Young Master," Chen Maosheng touched the brim of his hat, "Can't you really see the scar on my forehead?"

Zhao Han was a little impatient and said, "I really can't see it, so don't touch it."

Zhang Tieniu was still at the inn, and Zhao Han only took Pang Chunlai and Chen Maosheng out.

The scale of Huangjia Town is very small, and there is also only one street.After leaving the town, I asked along the way, and I didn't walk for a while, and I could look at the Huang family's ancestral house.

"It's a spring drought again this year."

Zhao Han glanced at the surrounding farmland. This was for Pang Chunlai. The old master's eyesight can only see close objects.

Pang Chunlai could only sigh: "The country is about to die, and natural disasters are frequent."

It's really nonsense. For several years in a row, spring drought, summer flood, and winter snow have come in Jiangxi.The only thing that can be rejoicing is that there has been no major disaster, and the drought and flood disasters will stop after a while.

Zhao Han looked at the canal by the road, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

There are guards along the canal, and the water trucks are brought in by the river and flow into some fixed paddy fields - they should all be the fields of Mr. Huang.

As for other fields, no matter how close they were to the canal, they had to go all the way to the river to fetch water.

Zhao Han saw many farmers going to the river in groups, carrying back the water one load at a time, and they couldn't irrigate a few acres from morning to night.

"Wow, this ancestral hall is really beautiful."

When Zhao Han passed by the Huang's ancestral hall, Yin Yang gave a strange admiration.

The main reason is that the nearby farmers are too poor, and the nearby houses are too dilapidated, which makes the Huang Family Ancestral Hall stand out from the crowd.

There are bucket arches and eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, and there are stone lions and stone turtles at the entrance.Although compared with the Fei family ancestral hall, it is like a rich businessman meeting a rich businessman, but it is so unsightly standing here.

About dozens of steps past the ancestral hall, it is the Huang family's ancestral residence.

Zhao Han had already inquired about it, and the Huang family had only been jinshi in the Zhengde Dynasty, and after that, there was not even one of them.Moreover, the Huang family itself is not in business, and only sells some agricultural products and handicrafts to foreign merchants passing through the town.

Without additional income, only by exploiting the village, how could he maintain such a lavish ancestral home!

"Bang bang bang!"

The door opened the door, and seeing that they were raw faces, he couldn't help asking, "Who are you looking for?"

Zhao Han just shook the folding fan, looking like a noble family member.

Pang Chunlai stroked his beard and didn't even look at people.

Only Chen Maosheng took a step forward, handed out the famous post with one hand, and said arrogantly: "My son is Ji Shuixiu Cai Zhao Yan, and the character said, I want to see Mr. Huang. You hurry up and report it, you can't afford it if it is slow."

These three are full of style, and at first glance, they are from a big place.

Zhao Han secretly gave a thumbs up and praised Chen Maosheng for his superb acting skills.

After a while, Menzi ran out again, nodded and said, "Three distinguished guests, my master has invited me."

"Look at the reward!" Zhao Han stepped in.

Chen Maosheng took out a string of copper coins from the shackle and threw it to the doorman.

There is a lot of this stuff, and it's enough.

Menzi took the reward with both hands, roughly estimated to be at least two or three hundred wen.Immediately, he became elated and became more enthusiastic, treating the three of them as high-rollers from the big city.

Zhao Han was brought into the waiting room, and tea was soon served.

"Pooh!"

Zhao Han took a sip, spit it all out, and said disdainfully, "What kind of bad tea is this for people to drink?"

Pang Chunlai quickly dissuaded him: "Young Master, this is in someone else's house. Even if the tea is not good, you should give the master some face."

"Okay, okay, give him face." Zhao Han put down the tea bowl and never picked it up again.

The maid who served tea left with a tray in hand, and ran quickly to see Mr. Huang.

After some remarks, Mr. Huang was angry and felt that he had been humiliated.But he is a little inferior. He has lived in the village and town for most of his life, and he is really not worthy to carry shoes for the rich merchants.

Mr. Huang didn't dare to neglect any more, he walked quickly to the hall, clasped his fists and smiled: "My lord, Huang Zundao, keep your words upright. Haha, there are some who are welcome, some are welcome."

Zhao Han also stood up and cupped his hands, and said modestly in a arrogant tone: "Where, when I first arrived, everything depends on Mr. Huang."

"Don't dare to call me master, just call me outside," Huang Zandao asked, "haven't asked your name taboo yet?"
