The heavens start from Maoshan

Chapter 4 Qian Ke Tongshen
"I see, that is Zhang Heng, the son of Uncle Da Xian. It is said that he just came back from Nanyang, and some of it has money."

"Is there money? Have more money than Master Tan?"

"Master Tan, bah, he's just a piece of shit, a country rich man, compared to some rich merchants in Nanyang?"

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. A few days ago, people ate at a tavern and ate fifteen kilograms of beef alone. A meal cost three yuan, enough to buy several hundred kilograms of millet."

Looking at Zhang Heng, who was sitting on the carriage and swaggering through the city with Zhang Daan, the passers-by on both sides talked a lot.

There are no more than two things, one is that Zhang Heng is rich, and the other is a wealthy businessman from Nanyang.

After all, the people who can have a relationship with overseas these days are very rich.

For comparison, it's like having a relative of a Hong Kong businessman in the 80s and [-]s.

"Cousin, do you want to go out?"

Walking on the street, I met Zhang Zhentian head-on.

Beside Zhang Zhentian, there was a burly young man, and he glanced down. This man still had a box gun attached to his waist, and he didn't know what the origin was.

"Come out and walk around, ready to find a place to eat something."

After a few days, Zhang Heng and Zhang Zhentian were already very familiar with each other.

In addition to the words, he also revealed to Zhang Zhentian that he plans to develop in his hometown and buy some industries in the future.

"Cousin, who is this?"

In response, Zhang Heng looked at the sturdy young man again.

"This is Zhang Zhenhu."

Zhang Zhentian explained: "Zhenhu worked as a dart in a medicine store in the county, and just came back last night."

"Zhang Zhenhu!"

Zhang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhang Zhenhu looks 25 six, or 26 seven, not tall, but very strong.

Coincidentally, Zhang Heng also knew a man named Zhang Zhenhu.

This man was a bandit from Dagou Town, later became the commander of the puppet army, and was shot dead after liberation.

However, Zhang Zhenhu has a good reputation. Whether he is a bandit or a puppet army, he is still polite to the people, and he is also a rich businessman and a big family.

"Cousin, you haven't had breakfast yet, there is a teahouse in front of you, go and sit down"

Zhang Heng took the initiative to invite.

Zhang Zhentian glanced at Zhang Zhenhu, did not refuse, and followed Zhang Heng with a smile.

Four people were seated and ordered four bowls of wonton noodles and three side dishes.

Zhang Heng divided the chopsticks, did not move the wonton noodles, but took the initiative to say: "Zhenhu, how is the dart head business, easy to do?"

"Don't mention it, the person in charge doesn't like me, and the thief is aggrieved."

Zhang Zhenhu sighed.

"That's it!"

Zhang Heng was noncommittal, and then asked, "Are you interested in staying with me?"

"Stay with you?" Zhang Zhenhu froze for a moment: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry about what you are doing, just tell me how much you will pay for the first month of being a dart in the medicine store."

"Three pieces of ocean."

Zhang Zhenhu said a number.

Zhang Heng said bluntly: "How about I give you five yuan a month?"

Zhang Zhenhu was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Brother Heng, to tell you the truth, I didn't do well in the medicine store. I wanted to come back and stay for a few days this time, and then go to Baoping Mountain to see."

Baoping Mountain is a bandit's den, what to see there, go up the mountain to be a bandit.

Zhang Heng knew it in his heart, and this was the right number.

The head of Baoping Mountain, Zhang Zhenhu.

Follow the historical track.

After Zhang Zhenhu went up the mountain this time, he will stand out in a few years and become the master of Aquarius Mountain.

From this point of view, Zhang Zhenhu is considered a talent, and it is not a problem to manage thousands of people.

Although it can't compare with those heroes and heroes who have been famous in history, but in Yangjiang County, in the Zhang family in Dagou Town, they are also considered to be among the best.

"It's not a long-term solution after all."

"Huzi, I don't think you are too young. You probably haven't married yet. When you go up the mountain, there will be any good girl who is willing to marry you."

"If you want me to tell you, just stay and do it with me, I won't treat you badly."

Zhang Heng knew very well the truth that a thousand gold is easy to get, but a general is hard to get.

Zhang Zhenhu is a talented person. The world is in chaos right now. Zhang Heng has some plans to implement, and these plans cannot be guaranteed without force.

As for Zhang Zhenhu's future status as the head of Aquarius Mountain.

Those are nothing. These days, if you have money, you will have brothers. If you come out to mix things up, it's not even a golden tael.

If you work hard and use it smoothly, you don't need to say more.

Unruly, disobedient to discipline.

Zhang Heng asked himself if there was a way to deal with him.

"Okay, I'll do it with you."

Zhang Zhenhu didn't think so much.

Be it a dart or a bandit, it's nothing more than wanting to earn food and clothing.

Five yuan a month, almost catching up with the shopkeeper of the medicine store. If you can make money on the ground, who would want to go up the mountain to be a bandit.

"Cousin, I don't think we have our own patrol team in our town."

After Zhang Zhenhu agreed, Zhang Heng directed his words to the militia group.

Zhang Zhentian was silent for a while, and replied: "It costs money, our Yangjiang County is fairly peaceful, even the great kings on Baoping Mountain will pass by after receiving some filial piety on weekdays. Naturally, no one does this kind of hard work. thing."

Running a militia group is not something that can be done.

It costs money to buy guns, it costs money to recruit people, and it costs money to buy horses.

Even if the militia group's expenses are small, they have to manage two meals. At the end of the month, there will be no two yuan in the ocean. If you can't give one, you can't give one. You have to give half of it.

This money will definitely not be paid, only the merchants and big households in the town will pay.

The reality is that despite the separatist rule of warlords outside these years, it is fairly stable in Yangjiang County.

The mountain kings on Baoping Mountain generally do not eat grass on the edge of their nests. During the festivals, the protection fee is passed, and it is rarely a disaster for the village.

In exchange for the self-protection of the militia group, everyone has an account in their hearts about how much it will cost.

The militia group in Dagou Town is ten years later.

It was 1930, just in time for the Great War in the Central Plains, the troops were defeated, and many people became bandits.

There were wolves everywhere, and there were many hills and mountains. Many bandits saw the village and shot at the village.

But this is the case, the militia group in Dagou Town has always been small.

At its peak, there were only three hundred people, dozens of earth guns and shotguns, and the rest were broadswords and spears.

The Militia Corps is not for the purpose of suppressing the bandits, but for self-protection, so that the bandits do not dare to attack villages and towns at will. Anything can be negotiated.

"The militia still needs to be there. There are wars going on everywhere, and there are more and more bandits and bullies. We must plan for the worst in everything."

"But it's not urgent, you can take your time."

"On my side, there is something that needs some people. Cousin, you will go back and ask, pick some faithful and reliable people, and ask for thirty people. I will go to the county town with me this afternoon to do some errands."

The original intention of Zhang Heng to come to the Republic of China was to make a fortune.

Now that a few days have passed, the door has been figured out, and making money should be put on the agenda.

After all, there is nothing to be without money these days, and two taels of gold can solve all kinds of worries.
