Chapter 92 This prince is a bit cute
Lu Hezheng looked at it for a while, but said incomprehensibly, "It's a bed but it's not a bed. Why is it still connected to the stove in the kitchen? What does this mean? The officials don't understand. I also ask the prince to answer."
Everyone immediately looked at Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling stood up and said, "This is a kang, it can also be called a bed, but it is much bigger than a bed, and the passage built is connected to the stove in the kitchen. In winter, as long as there is a fire in the stove, , then the heat will be conveyed to the center of the kang, in this way, the kang will be warm, and the whole room will be warm. In this way, there is no need to burn charcoal, and the people will not freeze to death. What do you think?"
Mu Yi and Geng Hu Wu Zhenfang's eyes widened in an instant, and they said in a nasty voice, "Isn't it amazing that there are such beds in this world?"
Lu Hezheng tightly grasped the blueprint in his hand with both hands, his hands were trembling, and his eyes immediately turned red, staring at the blueprint, wishing to stare at the blueprint.
Even Lu Hanye was very excited.
Xiao Ling continued, "The cost of this kang is very cheap. It's the same as building a house. You only need to mix mud with rice porridge to increase the viscosity of the mud and build it up. Moreover, there are many mountains and forests in northern Xinjiang. Relatively, There are more branches and firewood, so that the poor can also use it."
The reason why I think of this kang is that there will be some costs when building the kang, and there is no cost except for burning firewood every year. For the poor people in northern Xinjiang, every household can afford it.
Looking at the excited eyes of everyone, Xiao Ling said, "Of course, as for whether it can be used or not, it will be troublesome for you. You must find some top masons and bricklayers, and ask them to refer to whether they can really make it out. After all These are just my drawings, there must be many details that are not in place, and the rest is completely up to you."
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely make this so-called big kang." Lu Hezheng said with a firm face, as long as it is something that benefits the people, he is naturally willing to do it. Who would not be happy to see their hometown get better? .
Lu Hanye said with a straight face, "Remember, this matter cannot be spread out for the time being, and winter has begun in northern Xinjiang, and the temperature has also dropped. It is impossible to popularize it on a large scale, so for the time being Just try it in Tianxiang County, and the blueprint must not be leaked."
Lu Hezheng nodded, carefully put the drawings in the lapel of his chest, and said with red eyes, "Then my master and master, I will retire as an official, and I will be a skilled craftsman soon."
The two nodded, and after Lu Hezheng retreated, Lu Hanye looked at Mu Yi and asked, "You and Fenghui have been lurking in Qingzhou City recently, inquire more about the Xu family, and pay attention to Han Ke."
"Yes." The two nodded immediately and set off immediately.
Lu Hanye said to Geng Hu and Wu Zhenfang again, "Your master and I will be living here all the time, so you two will go back to Chungu Village to gather your brothers and let them hibernate well. No one can reveal their position until the spring begins in March next year. "
"Yes." The two also took orders immediately.
After everyone left, Xiao Ling turned to look at Lu Hanye and asked, "Why did you send them all away?"
Lu Hanye said with a serious face, "Although we can't recruit troops yet, we are already preparing for this matter. When Mu Yi and Feng Hui return from Qingzhou City, we will see what happens to Han Ke. Before the freeze in March next year, take all the business in northern Xinjiang into your hands."
Xiao Ling hummed and shook his hand and said, "Yes."
For the next month, Lu Hanye and Xiao Ling did not step out of Lu Hezheng's mansion, and Lu Hezheng also called many skilled craftsmen in Tianxiang County to test the big kang on the blueprint to see if it could be real. made?
In the past month, it can be said that it has failed many times. After all, the construction of this big kang is not as simple as the drawing on the blueprints. As long as there is something wrong, it will fail. Lu Hezheng has hardly slept much in the past month. Discussing with those masons how to renovate and how to do it failed many times in a row. It took a whole month and finally succeeded. The first trial was naturally Lu Hezheng's mansion.
"It's done, it's done..." Looking at this scene, not only Lu Hezheng went crazy, but even the masons went crazy.
As long as they have this thing, the poor people will no longer be afraid of the winter in northern Xinjiang. You must know that the last thing they need is firewood.
Xiao Ling and Lu Hanye came to see this scene, and they were also very happy. The big kang was burning, and there was no smoke in the room, and it was only for cooking a meal, so the room was warm. If the firewood is not extinguished, the kang will always be hot. Although it is a bit of a waste of firewood, warm water can be heated in the pot, and it is not a waste for cooking. The most important thing is that the cost is low.
Lu Hezheng saw the two masters coming, and immediately said happily, "Master, master, the big kang is finally finished."
"Yeah." Xiao Ling said with a smile, "Then it can be gradually popularized to the common people, but now the snow in northern Xinjiang is too heavy, and the soil is also frozen, so this big kang can't be popularized now, but It's okay, take your time!"
"Yes." Lu Hezheng said excitedly, "Master, how do you charge for this?"
Xiao Ling said, "I have already discussed with your master, the poor will charge the cost price, if you can't even afford the cost price, then come to me to get the money and do it for them for free."
Lu Hezheng suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "How can this work? The master can only charge the cost price so clearly, how can it be free? This is not possible."
Xiao Ling asked, "Then what can you do? We made this for the common people, but some common people may not even be able to afford the cost price, so we can't just sit and watch them suffer from the cold!"
"Master, it's okay to be kind-hearted, but it can't be free, otherwise it will definitely cause trouble." Lu Hezheng said.
Lu Hanye also said with a sullen expression, "He Zheng is right, it can't be free."
Lu Hezheng said, "Master, in fact, I think it can be done like this. If the poor people really can't afford it, then let them pay back the food. Of course, it's not immediately. After all, this year's food has also been handed in. Taxes can be registered by the government one by one, and they can pay back the grain after they have collected it in the coming year, and both money and grain can be paid.”
Xiao Ling's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "This is a good idea." He immediately discussed with Lu Hezheng and said in a low voice, "You and I are also planning to recruit troops next year. I guess if there is a big commotion next year, maybe we will talk to Han about it." There is a war in Ke, as long as your father can drive Han Ke away and take the northern border into our own hands, then next year the people will not have to pay taxes, and we will return part of the grain they collect, and the rest of the households will have surplus grain , so you don’t have to worry about starvation and cold.” Moreover, in this way, it seems that a lot of money can be saved in raising soldiers next year.
What Xiao Ling said made Lu Hezheng suddenly excited. If this is really the case, it would be really great. By then, the whole northern Xinjiang will be owned by the Lord, and Lu Hanye will definitely not obey the imperial court's control again. , It is equivalent to the Northern Xinjiang has been separated from the imperial court, wouldn't it be better.
"Then do it like this." Lu Hezheng slapped his thigh happily and said.
Xiao Ling was also very happy, and immediately nodded and said, "There is one more thing, that is, the rich Jia in Northern Xinjiang will also be rectified, but this matter is not enough, when we receive the salt shipment from Northern Xinjiang and master those Fu Jia, if they want to pretend to be a kang, they will blackmail them severely, and whoever refuses to buy it will be directly arrested in prison."
Lu Hezheng also said excitedly, "As long as the northern border is in the hands of the master and master, I don't have to worry about those rich merchants not paying their money. I understand best that those so-called wealthy people are actually the most greedy for life and afraid of death."
"That's good."
Both of them were discussing the next plan excitedly and eagerly. Lu Hanye looked at it, very speechless, because he didn't understand these things, and he couldn't get in the conversation, so he could only watch.
Big kang soon became popular in Tianxiang County. Things didn’t go smoothly at the beginning. After all, you have to charge money to install such a big thing at home. Although the fee is not much, no one knows if it will be useful. , so Lu Hezheng personally opened the mansion and showed the big kang of his mansion for some people to see. After that, many people were moved and asked to install the big kang. Lu Hezheng only charged one dan of wages, plus the wages of masons, a large kang was only three tangs of money. Save it.
Some people try it out immediately after installing it, and they are very happy immediately. After spending three slings, it can be used for a lifetime. Who doesn’t like it? The big kang in the township and county has spread, but there are not many masons who can install the big kang. Tianxiang County is too busy. It's all frozen, so naturally no one cares about Waixiang County anymore.
When Fu Jia from Tianxiang County heard that there were still such good things, he immediately hired masons to install them for himself, and these masons had already been ordered by the county magistrate. One needs ten taels of silver. If you want to install it, you can install it. If you don’t want to install it, you can pull it. Moreover, every mason does not install a big kang casually. Every time he installs one, he must go to the government office to register. Yes, the government office will come to the door to collect the fee at that time.
In an instant, the wealthy people stopped talking and drove out the masons.
When Xiao Ling heard about this, he didn't care about it anymore. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Mu Yi and Feng Hui also rushed back from Qingzhou City, and told what they saw and heard there one by one.
Mu Yi said, "Now the Xu family's children have been battered to fight for the family property, Han Ke took the opportunity to extort a lot of Xu family's money, plus the coldness in northern Xinjiang, all his soldiers came from Shangjing The children of the rich family, who have never suffered such hardships in the northern border, are now huddled in the main city, each of them is like a daughter of a thousand gold raised in a boudoir, and they don't go out of the door without going out."
Xiao Ling and Lu Hanye were immediately amused by Mu Yi's joke and said, "Then things will be much easier now, as the New Year is approaching, let's take all the business in Xu Zhenghong's hands."
"How do you think we can win his business?" Lu Hanye asked.
Xiao Ling said, "Now the Xu family has become a mess. I heard that the eldest wife of the Xu family has no children, and only one daughter was married to a wealthy wife by Xu Zhenghong. It is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Xu to compete for the Xu family's property. Easy, she has no power and power and only one daughter, so we just need to start with her, you do this..."
Xiao Ling whispered in Lu Hanye's ear.
It was night, and the goose feathers were snowing heavily, Lu Hanye took Mu Yi and Feng Hui to sneak to Xu's mansion again.
Now the weather is very cold and the roads are icy and difficult to walk on. Lu Hanye didn't bring Xiao Ling with him this trip to make him suffer.
In Mrs. Xu's room, there was the sound of a woman's sobs.
Mrs. Xu held her daughter's hand and cried, "Tell me, Xu's mansion has become a mess now, what should I do? Your sisters, brothers and sisters are all like wolves, tigers and leopards." Yes, what can we do if we can't fight them?"
"Mother, is there no other way?" Her daughter Xu Cailian also looked anxious. Ever since her father died, everyone was fighting for the family property. As a legitimate daughter, she naturally wanted a piece of the pie, but her husband just She is only rich and has no power, and some of her younger brothers and sisters are concubines of officials and officials, she can't fight at all.
Mrs. Xu shook her head while crying, "We have no power, and that Han Ke is black-hearted. I gave him so much money, and he didn't find out why your father died. What do you think? This is obvious. It should be yours, but those whores all want a piece of the pie, is this trying to force our mother and son to death?"
"It should be mine, so of course I won't let it go." Xu Cailian said firmly. If she lets it go, she will definitely be ridiculed by her husband again when she returns to her husband's house. Now that her father is dead, no one will do it anymore. She has her backing. When her father was here, her husband's family did not dare to treat her harshly. Now that her father has just passed away for more than a month, her husband's family even brought a few concubines into the house. Family property, she might lose her status in her husband's family.
"Miss Xu is right, it should be yours, so naturally you can't let it go." Lu Hanye led Mu Yi and Feng Hui into the door, and it was Mu Yi who said this.
"You... who are you?" Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu asked in shock.
Lu Hanye glanced at them coldly with his phoenix eyes, but Mu Yi said, "The one who supports you."
The next day, when Mrs. Xu appeared in the hall of the Xu family with the support of Ms. Xu, many concubines of the Xu family led their daughters and sons to attend. Mrs. Xu was followed by Fenghui and Mu Yi, with their waists They all had knives on them, and they looked very imposing.
Mrs. Xu gained confidence, looked at everyone with sharp eyes and said, "As long as I have the property of the Xu family, none of you can touch it."
"Ma'am, what do you mean by this sentence?"
"Isn't the eldest madam too domineering?"
"Swallowed a fat man in one gulp, can Da Furen eat it?"
"..."
Many concubines and children suddenly started talking about it.
Fenghui looked sharply in his eyes, and directly pulled out the sword hanging on his waist, and killed those concubines who took the lead in making trouble and seemed the most disobedient, one by one, and killed three of them without blinking. Personally, there were screams in the hall, and even Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu were so frightened that their legs went limp.
When the screaming stopped, the hall was as quiet as a needle.
Feng Mou said coldly, "Whoever dares to object again, this will be your fate."
Deterrence is the most convenient, quick and effective way, and it is a real murder. Who would dare to object in order to survive? As for Han Ke or the government, they naturally don't care. This is the person brought by the eldest lady, the eldest lady's housekeeper , who can control?
The deal that Lu Hanye made with the eldest lady was that the eldest lady took Xu Zhenghong's business for him in the open for so many years. He was running it in secret. Lu Hanye and Xiao Ling.
As for whether the eldest lady will have any crooked thoughts?
The two of them are not worried. Da Furen and Ms. Xu may have some thoughts, but after all, they are just women, powerless. If they lose their support, the two of them may be immediately killed by these concubines and their children. They were torn to pieces. Although the eldest lady lost Xu Zhenghong's business, Lu Hanye would give him some money every year to support them, still let them live a pampered life, and let them get decent. Naturally, the eldest lady would not He refused, so the lifeline of Beijiang's business was so easily in Xiao Ling's hands, and Han Ke didn't know about all this.
After this matter is done, the New Year in Northern Xinjiang will come.
For Xiao Ling and Lu Hanye, their first New Year in Northern Xinjiang was the busiest time. They wanted to control the entire Northern Xinjiang, develop their forces in Northern Xinjiang, and turn Northern Xinjiang into their territory. It's not as simple as what they say. Han Ke's army is not far away, and if he wants to control the entire northern border, he must first get rid of Han Ke. Fortunately, they With Lu Hezheng as an official working for them, he can solve a lot of troubles for them, and can also cover up a lot for them.
After the new year, Lu Hanye was planning to recruit soldiers. Lu He was covering for them. Recruiting soldiers was not done with great fanfare, and first of all, there would be no shortage of soldiers' salaries. People, as long as they are qualified and admitted, first of all, they will be paid two taels of silver as a military salary and a piece of rice noodles. Although these things are not seen much, they have caused a thousand waves in this small Tianxiang County. You must know that these years It's not that the people in northern Xinjiang don't serve as soldiers. The military pay is only one tael of silver a year, and they don't have enough food and clothing, and they have to work hard. But for their country and for the relatives behind them, they can only fight. Who would not be overjoyed to give two taels of silver and a piece of rice noodles all at once, and as long as those who meet the conditions are admitted, as long as they register in the Yamen, the money will be distributed on the spot, and there will be more strong men who immediately come to sign up to serve as soldiers.
Lu He has been the county magistrate in Tianxiang County for so many years, and he can be regarded as a man with two sleeves. In addition, the big kang he promoted in Tianxiang County years ago has brought a lot of benefits to the people, so as long as he gives an order, The people all responded.
As long as you don't owe money, who doesn't like it.
Because this matter was done in secret, it was kept airtight by Lu Hezheng. In addition, just after the new year, those officials spent all day socializing, drinking, looking for flowers, asking Liu, etc., who would pay attention to a small county town recruiting troops? So in just one month, Lu Hezheng recruited more than 1 soldiers for Lu Hanye.
And Lu Hanye and Xiao Ling were not idle either. They had soldiers in their hands, so naturally they couldn't do without horses, so they took advantage of the free time just after the new year, and sneaked into the barbarians as businessmen. , but there are also businessmen, and their flatterers are all fat and strong. You must know that the barbarians are best at raising horses. They also bought [-] good horses from the barbarians. , and promise to buy again next year.
Whether it was the money for recruiting soldiers or the money for buying horses, it was all the money Xiao Ling earned from opening a restaurant in Shangjing before. In the blink of an eye, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver was almost spent. In just one month, it was so much money. Many, even Xiao Ling has to say at this moment, raising soldiers is indeed the most costly thing in the world.
Fortunately, he took over Xu Zhenghong's salt transportation business, and only after setting foot in this business did he realize that the profit was really big enough, and Xu Zhenghong didn't only have the salt transportation business in his hands, perhaps because he had earned more money over the years, and after The backing is hardened, and Xu Zhenghong himself is a little swollen, so he has a foot in all walks of life, and naturally earns a lot of money.
By the time they finish these things, March will arrive, spring will come quietly, the winter in northern Xinjiang has passed, and the snow on the mountains has quietly melted, so Lu Hanye and Xiao Ling brought the 1000 people they brought in. Many soldiers returned to the mountain in Chungu Village, where he was going to train.
These recruits always thought that Lu Hezheng was recruiting soldiers for the imperial court, but they didn't know it was not until they met Lu Hanye and Xiao Ling.
Lu Hanye appeared in front of the crowd. He was tall and burly. Although his face was handsome, he looked quite imposing. As soon as he appeared, the discussion of the crowd suddenly quieted down.
Lu Hanye's phoenix eyes were sharp, he glanced at the crowd indifferently, and said expressionlessly, "My name is Lu Hanye, although you have never met me, some people should have heard my name, right?"
"Lu Hanye, so familiar?"
"Isn't that the young master of the Wang family in Zhenbei?"
"Didn't you say that Zhenbei Wang's family is dead?"
"Nonsense, it is rumored that King Zhenbei is rebellious, and the young master is also rebellious?"
"Ah? Who is the person in front of you? Is it really the young master of the Wang family in Zhenbei? Why did he appear here?"
"..."
The crowd immediately began to discuss.

Everyone immediately looked at Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling stood up and said, "This is a kang, it can also be called a bed, but it is much bigger than a bed, and the passage built is connected to the stove in the kitchen. In winter, as long as there is a fire in the stove, , then the heat will be conveyed to the center of the kang, in this way, the kang will be warm, and the whole room will be warm. In this way, there is no need to burn charcoal, and the people will not freeze to death. What do you think?"
Mu Yi and Geng Hu Wu Zhenfang's eyes widened in an instant, and they said in a nasty voice, "Isn't it amazing that there are such beds in this world?"
Lu Hezheng tightly grasped the blueprint in his hand with both hands, his hands were trembling, and his eyes immediately turned red, staring at the blueprint, wishing to stare at the blueprint.
Even Lu Hanye was very excited.
Xiao Ling continued, "The cost of this kang is very cheap. It's the same as building a house. You only need to mix mud with rice porridge to increase the viscosity of the mud and build it up. Moreover, there are many mountains and forests in northern Xinjiang. Relatively, There are more branches and firewood, so that the poor can also use it."
The reason why I think of this kang is that there will be some costs when building the kang, and there is no cost except for burning firewood every year. For the poor people in northern Xinjiang, every household can afford it.
Looking at the excited eyes of everyone, Xiao Ling said, "Of course, as for whether it can be used or not, it will be troublesome for you. You must find some top masons and bricklayers, and ask them to refer to whether they can really make it out. After all These are just my drawings, there must be many details that are not in place, and the rest is completely up to you."
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely make this so-called big kang." Lu Hezheng said with a firm face, as long as it is something that benefits the people, he is naturally willing to do it. Who would not be happy to see their hometown get better? .
Lu Hanye said with a straight face, "Remember, this matter cannot be spread out for the time being, and winter has begun in northern Xinjiang, and the temperature has also dropped. It is impossible to popularize it on a large scale, so for the time being Just try it in Tianxiang County, and the blueprint must not be leaked."
Lu Hezheng nodded, carefully put the drawings in the lapel of his chest, and said with red eyes, "Then my master and master, I will retire as an official, and I will be a skilled craftsman soon."
The two nodded, and after Lu Hezheng retreated, Lu Hanye looked at Mu Yi and asked, "You and Fenghui have been lurking in Qingzhou City recently, inquire more about the Xu family, and pay attention to Han Ke."
"Yes." The two nodded immediately and set off immediately.
Lu Hanye said to Geng Hu and Wu Zhenfang again, "Your master and I will be living here all the time, so you two will go back to Chungu Village to gather your brothers and let them hibernate well. No one can reveal their position until the spring begins in March next year. "
"Yes." The two also took orders immediately.
After everyone left, Xiao Ling turned to look at Lu Hanye and asked, "Why did you send them all away?"
Lu Hanye said with a serious face, "Although we can't recruit troops yet, we are already preparing for this matter. When Mu Yi and Feng Hui return from Qingzhou City, we will see what happens to Han Ke. Before the freeze in March next year, take all the business in northern Xinjiang into your hands."
Xiao Ling hummed and shook his hand and said, "Yes."
For the next month, Lu Hanye and Xiao Ling did not step out of Lu Hezheng's mansion, and Lu Hezheng also called many skilled craftsmen in Tianxiang County to test the big kang on the blueprint to see if it could be real. made?
In the past month, it can be said that it has failed many times. After all, the construction of this big kang is not as simple as the drawing on the blueprints.

"Master, it's okay to be kind-hearted, but it can't be free, otherwise it will definitely cause trouble." Lu Hezheng said.
Lu Hanye also said with a sullen expression, "He Zheng is right, it can't be free."
Lu Hezheng said, "Master, in fact, I think it can be done like this. If the poor people really can't afford it, then let them pay back the food. Of course, it's not immediately.

In an instant, the wealthy people stopped talking and drove out the masons.
When Xiao Ling heard about this, he didn't care about it anymore. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Mu Yi and Feng Hui also rushed back from Qingzhou City, and told what they saw and heard there one by one.
Mu Yi said, "Now the Xu family's children have been battered to fight for the family property, Han Ke took the opportunity to extort a lot of Xu family's money, plus the coldness in northern Xinjiang, all his soldiers came from Shangjing The children of the rich family, who have never suffered such hardships in the northern border, are now huddled in the main city, each of them is like a daughter of a thousand gold raised in a boudoir, and they don't go out of the door without going out."
Xiao Ling and Lu Hanye were immediately amused by Mu Yi's joke and said, "Then things will be much easier now, as the New Year is approaching, let's take all the business in Xu Zhenghong's hands."
"How do you think we can win his business?" Lu Hanye asked.

It is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Xu to compete for the Xu family's property. Easy, she has no power and power and only one daughter, so we just need to start with her, you do this..."
Xiao Ling whispered in Lu Hanye's ear.
It was night, and the goose feathers were snowing heavily, Lu Hanye took Mu Yi and Feng Hui to sneak to Xu's mansion again.
Now the weather is very cold and the roads are icy and difficult to walk on. Lu Hanye didn't bring Xiao Ling with him this trip to make him suffer.
In Mrs. Xu's room, there was the sound of a woman's sobs.
Mrs. Xu held her daughter's hand and cried, "Tell me, Xu's mansion has become a mess now, what should I do? Your sisters, brothers and sisters are all like wolves, tigers and leopards." Yes, what can we do if we can't fight them?"
"Mother, is there no other way?" Her daughter Xu Cailian also looked anxious. Ever since her father died, everyone was fighting for the family property. As a legitimate daughter, she naturally wanted a piece of the pie, but her husband just She is only rich and has no power, and some of her younger brothers and sisters are concubines of officials and officials, she can't fight at all.
Mrs. Xu shook her head while crying, "We have no power, and that Han Ke is black-hearted. I gave him so much money, and he didn't find out why your father died. What do you think? This is obvious. It should be yours, but those whores all want a piece of the pie, is this trying to force our mother and son to death?"
"It should be mine, so of course I won't let it go." Xu Cailian said firmly. If she lets it go, she will definitely be ridiculed by her husband again when she returns to her husband's house. Now that her father is dead, no one will do it anymore. She has her backing. When her father was here, her husband's family did not dare to treat her harshly. Now that her father has just passed away for more than a month, her husband's family even brought a few concubines into the house. Family property, she might lose her status in her husband's family.
"Miss Xu is right, it should be yours, so naturally you can't let it go." Lu Hanye led Mu Yi and Feng Hui into the door, and it was Mu Yi who said this.
"You... who are you?" Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu asked in shock.
Lu Hanye glanced at them coldly with his phoenix eyes, but Mu Yi said, "The one who supports you."
The next day, when Mrs. Xu appeared in the hall of the Xu family with the support of Ms. Xu, many concubines of the Xu family led their daughters and sons to attend. Mrs. Xu was followed by Fenghui and Mu Yi, with their waists They all had knives on them, and they looked very imposing.
Mrs. Xu gained confidence, looked at everyone with sharp eyes and said, "As long as I have the property of the Xu family, none of you can touch it."
"Ma'am, what do you mean by this sentence?"
"Isn't the eldest madam too domineering?"
"Swallowed a fat man in one gulp, can Da Furen eat it?"
"..."
Many concubines and children suddenly started talking about it.
Fenghui looked sharply in his eyes, and directly pulled out the sword hanging on his waist, and killed those concubines who took the lead in making trouble and seemed the most disobedient, one by one, and killed three of them without blinking. Personally, there were screams in the hall, and even Mrs. Xu and Miss Xu were so frightened that their legs went limp.
When the screaming stopped, the hall was as quiet as a needle.
Feng Mou said coldly, "Whoever dares to object again, this will be your fate."
Deterrence is the most convenient, quick and effective way, and it is a real murder. Who would dare to object in order to survive? As for Han Ke or the government, they naturally don't care. This is the person brought by the eldest lady, the eldest lady's housekeeper , who can control?
The deal that Lu Hanye made with the eldest lady was that the eldest lady took Xu Zhenghong's business for him in the open for so many years. He was running it in secret. Lu Hanye and Xiao Ling.
As for whether the eldest lady will have any crooked thoughts?
The two of them are not worried. Da Furen and Ms. Xu may have some thoughts, but after all, they are just women, powerless. If they lose their support, the two of them may be immediately killed by these concubines and their children. They were torn to pieces. Although the eldest lady lost Xu Zhenghong's business, Lu Hanye would give him some money every year to support them, still let them live a pampered life, and let them get decent. Naturally, the eldest lady would not He refused, so the lifeline of Beijiang's business was so easily in Xiao Ling's hands, and Han Ke didn't know about all this.
After this matter is done, the New Year in Northern Xinjiang will come.
For Xiao Ling and Lu Hanye, their first New Year in Northern Xinjiang was the busiest time. They wanted to control the entire Northern Xinjiang, develop their forces in Northern Xinjiang, and turn Northern Xinjiang into their territory. It's not as simple as what they say. Han Ke's army is not far away, and if he wants to control the entire northern border, he must first get rid of Han Ke. Fortunately, they With Lu Hezheng as an official working for them, he can solve a lot of troubles for them, and can also cover up a lot for them.
After the new year, Lu Hanye was planning to recruit soldiers. Lu He was covering for them. Recruiting soldiers was not done with great fanfare, and first of all, there would be no shortage of soldiers' salaries. People, as long as they are qualified and admitted, first of all, they will be paid two taels of silver as a military salary and a piece of rice noodles. Although these things are not seen much, they have caused a thousand waves in this small Tianxiang County. You must know that these years It's not that the people in northern Xinjiang don't serve as soldiers. The military pay is only one tael of silver a year, and they don't have enough food and clothing, and they have to work hard. But for their country and for the relatives behind them, they can only fight. Who would not be overjoyed to give two taels of silver and a piece of rice noodles all at once, and as long as those who meet the conditions are admitted, as long as they register in the Yamen, the money will be distributed on the spot, and there will be more strong men who immediately come to sign up to serve as soldiers.
Lu He has been the county magistrate in Tianxiang County for so many years, and he can be regarded as a man with two sleeves. In addition, the big kang he promoted in Tianxiang County years ago has brought a lot of benefits to the people, so as long as he gives an order, The people all responded.
As long as you don't owe money, who doesn't like it.
Because this matter was done in secret, it was kept airtight by Lu Hezheng. In addition, just after the new year, those officials spent all day socializing, drinking, looking for flowers, asking Liu, etc., who would pay attention to a small county town recruiting troops? So in just one month, Lu Hezheng recruited more than 1 soldiers for Lu Hanye.
And Lu Hanye and Xiao Ling were not idle either. They had soldiers in their hands, so naturally they couldn't do without horses, so they took advantage of the free time just after the new year, and sneaked into the barbarians as businessmen. , but there are also businessmen, and their flatterers are all fat and strong. You must know that the barbarians are best at raising horses. They also bought [-] good horses from the barbarians. , and promise to buy again next year.
Whether it was the money for recruiting soldiers or the money for buying horses, it was all the money Xiao Ling earned from opening a restaurant in Shangjing before. In the blink of an eye, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver was almost spent. In just one month, it was so much money. Many, even Xiao Ling has to say at this moment, raising soldiers is indeed the most costly thing in the world.
Fortunately, he took over Xu Zhenghong's salt transportation business, and only after setting foot in this business did he realize that the profit was really big enough, and Xu Zhenghong didn't only have the salt transportation business in his hands, perhaps because he had earned more money over the years, and after The backing is hardened, and Xu Zhenghong himself is a little swollen, so he has a foot in all walks of life, and naturally earns a lot of money.
By the time they finish these things, March will arrive, spring will come quietly, the winter in northern Xinjiang has passed, and the snow on the mountains has quietly melted, so Lu Hanye and Xiao Ling brought the 1000 people they brought in. Many soldiers returned to the mountain in Chungu Village, where he was going to train.
These recruits always thought that Lu Hezheng was recruiting soldiers for the imperial court, but they didn't know it was not until they met Lu Hanye and Xiao Ling.
Lu Hanye appeared in front of the crowd. He was tall and burly. Although his face was handsome, he looked quite imposing. As soon as he appeared, the discussion of the crowd suddenly quieted down.
Lu Hanye's phoenix eyes were sharp, he glanced at the crowd indifferently, and said expressionlessly, "My name is Lu Hanye, although you have never met me, some people should have heard my name, right?"
"Lu Hanye, so familiar?"
"Isn't that the young master of the Wang family in Zhenbei?"
"Didn't you say that Zhenbei Wang's family is dead?"
"Nonsense, it is rumored that King Zhenbei is rebellious, and the young master is also rebellious?"
"Ah? Who is the person in front of you? Is it really the young master of the Wang family in Zhenbei? Why did he appear here?"
"..."
The crowd immediately began to discuss.
