Cutting 1719

Chapter 42
Ning Yu woke up from his sleep. He hadn't slept so soundly for a long time that his bones all over his body creaked.

The maids Chunzhu and Chunlu fetched water and helped Ning Yu get up. Now Ning Yu has grown into a handsome and tall young man, which made some maids have some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

These days, although there is a strict marriage system, for wealthy families, being an aunt who fills in the house is really a good way out.

Chunzhu blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Young master, master and several masters are waiting in the front hall, saying that they want to wait for you to discuss matters." As he spoke, he helped Ning Yu fasten his belt skillfully. When Shengsheng's little hands slid on his waist, Ning Yu couldn't help feeling a little slack.

If you really are a young master who doesn't worry about anything, then life is really not ordinary.

After everything was taken care of, Ning Yu came to the front hall. At this time, Ning Zhongyuan and the others looked happy and were chatting happily.

Seeing Ning Yu walking in, Ning Zhongjing hurriedly took his arm, walked to the main hall and said loudly: "Come on, my Ning family Qianliju has arrived, this time I can be calmed down!"

The rest of them booed together, originally they were all men in their thirties, their tempers were not so restrained, it was not uncommon to tease Ning Yu on weekdays, even Ning Zhongyuan smiled a little.

Ning Yu begged for mercy, but saluted one by one, and finally said with a wry smile: "This time, I just beat up some bandits, but it's nothing serious."

Ning Zhongyuan snorted softly, and scolded with a smile: "Praise you a few words, you really have gone to heaven, with two hundred youthful young soldiers, you actually wiped out all the Taohuashan people who have been in trouble for many years, without any casualties. Such a victory, your father, I can't win!"

Well, this time I was too modest, and I was scolded instead.

Ning Yu had no choice but to correct his attitude, and said: "This battle is originally an unequal battle. Strictly speaking, my two hundred young soldiers are much stronger than these seven or eight hundred bandits. It is not surprising that we have achieved such a result."

Although the brothers of the Ning family were all from military families, only Ning Zhongyuan and Ning Zhongyi were in the army seriously. Except for them who knew something, the others were at a loss.

Ning Zhongyi had a rough temper, and said with a smile: "You boy, what do you mean by no surprise? Explain to your uncles, and let us also listen to your opinion."

The others also turned up their ears with full concentration. Even Ning Zhongyuan, who had been in battle for a long time, put aside the face of the relationship between father and son, and listened intently like a studious student.

In fact, after this battle, the Ning family and others' impression of Ning Yu has undergone a big change. From the original genius junior to a core figure who can participate in the Ning family's development plan, don't look at it as if It's nothing, but it's actually very important, which shows that the resources that Ning Yu can mobilize within the family have increased significantly.

Judging from the current situation, there are only three people who can really influence the development plan of the Ning family, namely Ning Zhongyuan, Ning Zhongjing and Ning Zhongyi. Now Ning Yu has become the fourth person, and even his voice is more powerful than the Ning Zhongyi is taller.

This kind of discourse power will not change because of the relationship between ethical superiority and inferiority. The reason is that the current Ning family is still in its prosperous stage, and it pays more attention to ability rather than seniority and background.This shows that Ning Yu's first purpose of coming to this world has basically been fully realized, that is to unite most of the strength of the Ning family.

Ning Yu was a little excited in his heart, calmed down slightly, and then said slowly: "The reason why we say this is an unequal war is not only the three must wins mentioned before the war, but also the competition between organizations."

"The Young Eagle Battalion has a strict hierarchical relationship, and has established a complete internal organization. It is even more commanding in wartime, and can give full play to the strength of the two hundred people. On the contrary, for Taohuashan, it is just a A group of gangsters who have not experienced strict military education. The so-called hundreds of people are nothing more than dozens of desperadoes who dare to fight and a few hundred farmers who can only fight with the wind. And my battle is precisely the The dozens of people who rushed to the front were wiped out, and the hundreds of people in the back also lost their fighting spirit."

While talking, Ning Yu sighed in his heart. This is actually a common problem of feudal armies, and it is the same for the current Young Eagle Battalion, but in terms of fighting losses, the Young Eagle Battalion is too strong. Ning Yu is confident Even if the casualties are below 50.00%, the Young Eagle Battalion will never collapse, but this is something that no one in this era can do.

After listening to this, Ning Zhongyuan sighed: "The Taohuashan bandits were originally refugees from Yunyang. Later, after the imperial court abolished Yunyang Town, a large number of Yunyang refugees gathered in various places to become bandits. This Taohuashan is One of them has quite good fighting power, and the ordinary green battalion is not their opponent, but I didn't expect that it would be so easy to be wiped out.",

Ning Yu said softly: "From what happened this time, I obviously felt that something was wrong, but I had to deal with this ruthlessly before, otherwise the reputation of my Ning family would no longer exist. Now the Peach Blossom Mountain on this surface has been destroyed. That hand hasn't been caught yet." For some reason, Ning Yu thought of the three people caught from the back mountain, maybe they knew something.

Ning Zhongjing snorted coldly, and said: "From the mouths of some people you captured this time, they didn't ask anything, but according to my information from other sources, the Huaibei Salt Gang is probably behind this incident. It's messing around."

Speaking of the Huaibei Salt Gang, everyone present was shocked, but it made sense when they thought about it carefully. After all, the smuggling of salt really affected the interests of the original salt merchants.

The Huaibei Salt Gang is still a branch of the Lianghuai Salt State.Since Liu Bi, king of Wu in the Western Han Dynasty, "induces the dead in the world to boil seawater into salt", the Lianghuai salt industry has developed rapidly, and has achieved the famous Lianghuai Salt Gang. As the saying goes, "Lianghuai salt makes the world salty."

In the current Kangxi period, Huguang lacked salt, so the private salt that entered was Huai salt and Sichuan salt. However, Sichuan salt has not really become a climate, so Huai salt is the main one.However, the emergence of the Ning family's private salt seriously damaged the interests of salt merchants in Lianghuai, especially in Huaibei.

Today's Lianghuai salt merchants can be said to gather the wealth of the world. Even Shanxi merchants can hardly shake their edge in this era. It is said that Emperor Kangxi once wanted to control the Yellow River, but the funds were far from enough. The salt merchants in Yangzhou donated 300 yuan at a time. Ten thousand taels, its strength can be called the richest in the world.

But the Ning family is now being targeted by such a giant.
