Chapter 259 A resolute government?
Originally, he thought he was just a scholar who was curious about the price of rice, but in a flash, he ate all the food he had transported from afar. Luo Kang felt that everything was like a dream.↖, he could no longer care about the fighting and killing scenes outside the room. His only hope was that these guys would finish it quickly, and then go to the pile of stored grain at the dock to count the grain, and take action quickly to pay the rent of the shop and the cost of renting the stack. So, Wang Fulin went to the door panel to see the fun of the outside room through the gap, but he pulled Manager Zhao aside.
"This is four or five hundred taels of silver. Do you really need to discuss it with your family?"
Manager Zhao didn't know why he was worried. Even if he hadn't given the orders of Mr. Cheng, he even cooperated with the few people who came to sell rice by Manager Xie according to the orders of Manager Xie. When the rice price in Hangzhou was at the highest, he had done a big business of tens of thousands of stones. He would not believe the rumors in Huizhou. However, he didn't want to talk too much, but just smiled and said, "You don't need to worry, the business matters, the little officials said one is one, no one would restrain him. As long as you move faster, I'll transport it back to Huizhou."
Huizhou?
Luo Kang is a person who is old and has a big deal in grain trading in the north and south. Of course, he knows that it is most suitable for harvesting grain. Huguang is because there are many farmlands there and few other industries. Farmers rely on grain for money all year round. In the south, the places where grain is easiest to sell at high prices are mainly Suzhou, Hangzhou, Songjiang, and Changzhou. These places with the richest land are now largely reduced. The area of rice fields is more often planted, mulberry fields, and rely on silk weaving and cotton spinning to make a living. The population is large, so the food consumption is huge. In contrast, Huizhou is indeed a big mansion that needs to import grain. Now it is almost spring plowing, and it is possible to lack food.
When he thought about it, he temporarily threw the account of Wang Fulin's identity out of the sky. Wang Fulin continued to gossip and slid the crack in the door to watch the full martial arts outside. He had only watched this kind of armed battle on TV before, but now he is watching the live broadcast so close that he can only see the scene being hot and blood is scattered. The white scarf-wrapped Zhong Nanfeng was brave enough, and a Park knife was invincible. Huo Zheng and Yang Tao on the side have both experienced the battle formation and must be explained by the side.
"It looks scary, but because you are the one who starts with chopping, it is inevitable to get hurt, but it is generally impossible to kill people."
Yu Wen was completely shocked. When he heard Huo Zheng’s explanation, he turned his head and stammered, "No one cares about the government?"
At this time, Luo Kang, who was only happy, had come back to his senses, but he sneered: "The government cannot cure these guys. Su Songchang and Hangzhou have too many farmers without land. Look at how many people are inside and outside Hangzhou now? With more people, it is natural to find a livelihood. It is fine if you can have some skills to support yourself, but more people can't find work at all. Seeing such a prosperous situation in the town, who is not jealous? After a few moments, such a group of powerful guys naturally form cliques. Businessmen like us are soft persimmons and must be controlled by others. As for those big businessmen, the officials are so flipped and they have won over a group of such people. They dare not provoke these businesses easily."
Wang Fulin found that the people led by Zhong Nanfeng had already gained the absolute advantage, but he still gave up very gracefully, allowing his opponent to take all the wounded one by one, and then laughed and celebrating the victory on the street. He suddenly felt that he had seen the Ming Dynasty gang fight, but Luo Kang's explanation made him understand the root cause of the matter in a moment.
In a word, it is actually a problem that overpopulation in rural areas flows into cities, and employment is difficult to cause! Unexpectedly, this kind of problem that has troubled future generations have already appeared during the Longqing period.
The group fight came to an end, and the streets were cleaned up, but only for the injured, the blood splashed on the ground, the cloth strips that were chopped or torn off on their clothes, of course, no one would have such time to clean them up. As the winner, Zhong Nanfeng, after celebrating his victory, he shouted: "From now on, this street will belong to me, Zhong Nanfeng. Just like this shop that has a grace to my little brother, my request is very simple. I will keep you safe if I want them to eat, and I won't take you one stitch or another for the rest!"
Wang Fulin was both angry and funny when he heard it, thinking that Zhong Nanfeng was really an unpredictable guy. However, of course, he would not plan to go out to get in touch with people at this time. Then he waited until the guys who had been fighting dispersed, and he asked someone to help Luo Kang put down the door panel. At this moment, there were still bloody smells in the air outside. Looking around, there were many shops that were dismantling the door panel and planning to do business again. Some people sighed, and some people became accustomed to it. However, for a while, there were pedestrians and cars on the empty road, as if they were not caring about the blood that had not been dried yet.
Wang Fulin, who had negotiated a small business, did not have the interest to visit again. Manager Zhao, who knew the way, had to lead the way and lead everyone to a Xie family. Although they were both hostels, they also worked as a business broker. If Manager Zhao had not been familiar with each other, Wang Fulin would have been surrounded by a businessman who was taking over the business as soon as he stepped into it. That night, after having a midnight snack and washing up, although there was no noise around him from beginning to end, he still slept with his hard work along the way, plus what he saw and heard this night.
But in a daze, he only felt that there was something in his mind, but he was too tired at this moment, and he didn't have time to think about it carefully.
On the other hand, Zhong Nanfeng was ignorant of Mount Tai during dinner. At this moment, he brought his brothers to an old house near the Beixinguan Canal with joy, but he shouted and was so happy. From Wulinmen to Beixinguan, there were at least a dozen companies with font sizes within the Huzhou City, which is more than 20 miles. Although they are not the most crowded, they are definitely the most united and famous. One of the most important reasons is that Zhong Nanfeng once fought Japanese pirates back then, and they all crawled out of the dead people outside the city.
So, another group of people were beaten away and got the stolen things from the store that had suffered heavy losses. Then he said that he would take up the land. There would be more than a dozen or twenty shops to eat tomorrow. Everyone was immersed in joy and joy. Most of them had no land in the countryside and no one could find work in the city. Some of them had worked as coolies and odd jobs on the docks, but because the population of Hangzhou was too large, everyone rushed to do the work on the docks, and it was too difficult to maintain odd jobs, so they entered the business. Follow Zhong Nanfeng, the man who was the leader.
At least in this industry, they can eat enough to avoid starving to death!
"Hour, you are awesome. Boss Li is so cruel, but he still runs away under your hands!"
"That's right, there are so many businesses in Huzhou City, but I have to find the second one who dared to use a knife to attack Japanese pirates at the beginning, but I can't find it!"
"Let's just do our best to eat all the Huzhou City. In the future, we will never have to worry about food or clothing. Everyone can find a good wife!"
This last innocent saying, of course, comes from the mouth of a young boy who is 18 years old. The others burst into laughter, but no one takes it to heart. Although Zhong Nanfeng has some friendship with many bosses who have fought for business, except for Boss Li, if he really has such an expansion ambition, he will definitely be suppressed by other companies. However, even if the person who laughs so hard that tears are almost flowing out, he knows in his heart that it is okay to live like this, but to say that he is serious and finds a wife, it depends on luck. That is not a fan of the lieutenant who is selling laughter in Huzhou City. Who dares to be like them?
Zhong Nanfeng's face also darkened, but it was not because of the ignorant little brother who was talking nonsense, but because of the experience at night. He picked up the wine jar and drank a bad wine mixed with countless water. He was guessing in his heart what the young man protected by the old soldiers of the Qi family was. But thinking that he was just out for a walk and had no connection with him. In the end, he invited himself to have a good meal openly, so he gradually put aside this unpleasant memory. However, just when he was half drunk, a yell suddenly came from the outside, and then a young man who was showing off the door rushed in.
"Hours, it's not good!"
Subconsciously picked up the Park Knife next to the bench, and Zhong Nanfeng stood up suddenly and asked in anger: "Why, someone came to the door?"
"It's the official army, it's the official army that surrounded us!" The young man's sad voice actually made a little crying sound!
In an instant, all the people around who were already indignant were frightened. They claimed that they were not afraid of officials or care, but that was just a verbal statement. They were really blocked by the official army. After all, this kind of oppression still existed. Zhong Nanfeng subconsciously shook his head, and then shouted sternly: "Cold Water!"
When someone with quick hands and feet came over with a scoop of cold water, Zhong Nanfeng didn't care about the cold weather at night, so he directly scooped water on his face with his hands, and his head suddenly became much clearer.
"How many people came? What did the leader say? Just surrounded here alone?"
After all, the half-grown boy was too young and stuttered for a while, but only made it clear that everyone outside was holding torches. Zhong Nanfeng was impatient and simply said, "It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster, you can't escape it. Brothers, go out together to take a look. Remember to follow my orders!"
When Zhong Nanfeng led his men out of the main hall, the door outside had been kicked open, and a large group of officials rushed in. The leader looked at the poor men at one glance, and then said in an extremely impatient tone: "Luo Bingyuan, a hundred household in the Hangzhou Branch of the Jinyiwei of our company, and there was a thief in the tax and eunuch Zhang. Our company had to strictly investigate the idle people near Beixinguan. Who are you leading? Stand out!"
Faced with this condescending tone, Zhong Nanfeng took a step forward with a cold face. Before he could answer anything, the talking Luo Baihu waved his hand and asked someone to come up without saying anything, one left and one right tightly held him. At this moment, he finally couldn't help but feel angry and asked loudly: "Why should I catch me?"
"Why should I catch you?" Luo Bingyuan sneered and said with a sinister face, "It's not just you, but all the people in Huzhou City are going to go back and ask questions. Be honest, you will naturally let you go when you look back, otherwise you will suffer from your hardships!"
