Crimson Dawn

Chapter 162 no_name

Pang Zi was in a hurry, and after talking with Chen Tianhua about getting involved in the nitrate trade, Pang Zi immediately took him back to the county without any delay.

The half street to the south of Nangong County is now Pang Zi's territory.In the past six months, due to the farmers' association's own business, the escort team has expanded extremely fast. In 1906, most of the dart runners were not from good families. After earning money, everyone started to eat and drink.For other teams, drinking in large bowls and eating meat in large pieces is a luxury.For Pang Zi, this is an item that does not require any special expenditure.

As soon as he entered the compound of the Escort, he was greeted by the smell of wine and meat.Nangong smoked vegetables have always been famous, but now the supply of meat is abundant, and it is even more delicious.In the courtyard, as usual, more than a dozen tables were photographed in two walks, and the tables were full of people.There must have been as many as one hundred and ten people, and when they saw Pang Zi coming in, everyone got up one after another. "Captain Pang!" "Brother Pang Da!" The enthusiastic greeting made Pang Zi feel very comfortable.

"Captain Pang, look at your happy face, do you have any big deals?" Pang Tianshuo seemed to be drunk, his face was red, he said very drunk.

Pang Zi knew that this was an illusion. Pang Tianshuo drank a lot, but even if he drank a small cup, it was very flattering.But this guy is very smart.Always use this illusion to fool others.

"Close the door, I have something to say." Pang Zi shouted.

Immediately, someone closed the door. Seeing Pang Zi doing this, everyone knew that there was a big deal.The impatient ones gathered around, and the greedy ones stuffed food into their mouths while looking at Pang Zi.

"I'm going to do the nitrate business. Everyone knows how profitable this business is." Pang Zi said loudly.

"Oh!!" There was a burst of exclamation below.Nangong County produces nitrate salt, and the saline-alkali water from the banks of several Kushui Rivers is rich in salt.Although Shandong salt is sold back and forth along the canal, there is no shortage of nitrate salt these days.But a big deal.

Someone hastily bit off the meat from the bone of the drumstick, and then shouted: "Brother Pang, let's do it."

"That's right, it's a pity that we don't do this business."

Pang Zi provided a sufficient amount of wine and meat, but the brothers of these escorts had eaten for several months. Although they couldn't say they were tired of eating, they had long since lost their initial excitement.Because the supply of wine and meat is sufficient, the salary of the Escort is not very high.If you can take advantage of the nitrate trade, the money you get will definitely increase by a large amount.Thinking of this, the brothers were immediately excited.

"Captain Pang, is this nitrate trade done by our Escort?" Some people asked more bluntly.The Escort delivered a lot of supplies to the farmers' associations. After all, the farmers' associations were "insiders" and provided wine and meat.But these days the business of transporting goods is not so much. If you want to feed hundreds of people, these people will naturally not get much money.

How could Pang Zi not know the thoughts of these people below, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, this business will not make everyone short of money."

As soon as this remark came out, the brothers below immediately burst into cheers. "Done it!" "Done it!" Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

"My mother said last time that she would marry me a daughter-in-law. But they want a lot of gifts. Brother Pang, I will work hard with you!" A young man said full of longing.

"You? Are you marrying a wife? I said you fell in love with Xiao Taohong." Pang Tianshuo joked.The so-called girl who thinks about food and clothing, these young men drink and eat meat all day long, and they have already accumulated enough energy.The biggest clients of the brothels in Nangong County are these people.After hearing Pang Tianshuo's teasing, everyone burst out laughing.

"Then hurry up and feed me now. Let's figure it out, and go to Pingxiang to explore the way tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Pang Zi said.Everyone naturally agreed.Seeing that everyone agreed, Pang Zi shouted: "Hurry up and serve me food, I'm hungry too."

This place in Pingxiang is by the Kushui River, and there are only sparse plants that are resistant to salt and alkali on a large saline-alkali flat.There are many salt flats surrounded by ropes on the beach. Under the command of Yan Ding, the coolies pump out the bitter water seeping out of the ground, and then transport it to the place where the brine is boiled.The tidal flat was very slippery, and these coolies rolled like mud monkeys one by one.Theoretically, the salt workers these days should do these things in person, but like other industries monopolized by the imperial court, these salt workers who should have done their own labor have long since become the group of people who do not work.After hundreds of years of elimination, these industries have been monopolized by some big forces. Although there is a quota for salt, it is already a thing on paper.All the salt quotas have become a method used by monopoly families to avoid taxes.

Today's Yanding is not so much a laborer as a thug.They are responsible for supervising coolies and suppressing all kinds of resistance.In order to make a living, the common people have to sell their strength, but even so, working in the saltworks is the way many people choose when they are desperate.Not only is it hard work here in the salt field, but the wages paid are much less.

Pang Zi brought more than a dozen people, all on horseback, and galloped all the way to the vicinity of the salt field.There were no obstacles on the tidal flat, and the Yanding people saw Pang Zi and others from a long distance, and they immediately became vigilant.The horse team finally slowed down, but did not stop.The place where the brine was boiled was on a high ground by the side of the road, and Pang Zi and the others didn't stop until they got nearby.And the Yan Dings were already holding knives and guns in front of the field.

"Hmph!" The fat man sneered.More than a dozen of these people were armed with knives, guns, and firecrackers. Although Pang Zi himself did not carry a gun, the brothers behind him were carrying rifles, and the worst were old sleeves.The strength of the two sides can be seen at a glance.Looking condescendingly at the Yan Ding, Pang Zi shouted: "Let your supervisors come out. Is it time to pay back the medicine money last time?"

Yan Ding had never seen Pang Zi before, so he didn't know who this tough-looking young man was.Hearing Pang Zi's yell, Yan Ding was even more confused. "What are you doing?" shouted a small leader.

"What am I doing?" Pang Zi sneered after listening, "I'm here to collect the bill." After finishing speaking, Pang Zi waved to the brother behind him, and the brother handed over a flag from the side of the saddle, and Pang Zi raised the flag , suddenly inserted the flagpole in front of his horse.A gust of wind blows, and the character "Pang" can be clearly seen in the white full moon in the middle of the cyan flag.

The leader knew a little bit, although he didn't know the word, he knew that Pang Zi must have a lot of background.He hurriedly cupped his hands, "What is the name of this old man?"

"My name is Pang Zi, and I'm here to collect the money for the medicine. Let your supervisors hurry up and come out to me." Pang Zi was very happy to see that after hearing this, the faces of the Yan Ding immediately changed.They looked at themselves with a lot of awe.I saw the Yan Ding whispered a few words, and someone went back to report.

Like the official Ximen in the book, Pang Zi owns a raw medicine shop under his name.Although it also sees a doctor, but more is to provide drug sales.This is Chen Tianhua's request. Members of the peasant association need to see a doctor.And these days, the price of seeing a doctor is too high, especially for buying medicine.Pang Zi simply opened such a pharmacy.The original source of funds for the pharmacy is very simple. Chen Ke's special drug "914" for treating vaginitis is also in short supply in Hebei.Fatty only earned the initial funds for the pharmacy by seeing a few big sick families.It's like losing such a pharmacy for nothing.

The current owner of the salt field is named Jing Tinglie, and he and Pang Zi are still distant relatives.His son went to Beijing and came back sick.Pang Zi treated him, but didn't ask for money right away.This is the excuse for Pang Zi to come this time.

Naturally, Jing Tinglie couldn't be in charge of the saltworks himself, it was his family's master who came here.When Pang Zi saw him, he immediately asked sharply, "What about the 500 taels of silver that you agreed to treat? When will you give it to me?"

Master Jing Tingjun originally greeted him with a smile on his face, but he didn't expect Pang Zi to say that when he opened his mouth.Immediately, his face also changed, "Eldest nephew, what do you mean by that?"

Pang Zi sneered and said: "Last time your family was infected with willows, I came to treat the disease, and I agreed to pay 500 taels. Now the people have recovered, why is there no movement in the money. Are you trying to cheat me?"

As soon as Jing Tingjun heard it, he knew that Pang Zi was here to find fault. He had also seen the world and knew that this was not a matter of 500 taels of silver at all, let alone that it was impossible to ask Pang Zi for 500 taels of money. He sneered and said, "You are talking empty words, you said that you are curing diseases?"

"Very good. As the saying goes, you pay for your life and pay your debts. If you bully me, then try it. I will return it tomorrow, on this side of the flag, and I will not force you. If you don't pay 500 taels tomorrow Send it to me under the flag, and don’t open your saltworks. When you pay off the money, when will you reopen.” After finishing speaking, regardless of what Jing Tingjun had to say, Pang Zi turned his horse’s head and led his men to hurry. gallop away.

"My name is Pang Zi, and I'm here to collect the money for the medicine. Let your supervisors hurry up and come out to me." Pang Zi was very happy to see that after hearing this, the faces of the Yan Ding immediately changed.They looked at themselves with a lot of awe.I saw the Yan Ding whispered a few words, and someone went back to report.
