Chapter 114 Get rich and get rich

"It's amazing." Xi Yazhou looked at the objects that were constantly being moved out of the mansion, and it was an eye-opener. "How could he have so many things?"

"Housekeeper." Wu De answered his question briefly.Although Hainan is located in the main route of China's ocean-going trade, it has never been known for its ocean-going trade. Instead, it is a place frequented by pirates.Because the land here is poor, the population is sparse, and the administrative capacity of the government is very weak.As the owner of the pirates' nest and dealer of stolen goods, it is normal for the Gou family to have so many things at home.You only need to look at the military equipment in his village that exceeds that of ordinary regiments. There are six small cannons on the wall of the village, and there are more than 20 guns. The black gunpowder he bought weighed five or six thousand catties, and there were also a large number of feather arrows, knives, guns, and irons-it seemed that he still had a business of buying and storing weapons and equipment for pirates.

"Normal people, except for super corrupt officials like He Shen, who would store tens of thousands of pieces of porcelain at home." Wu De pointed to the porcelain that was being moved out of the warehouse, "These should all come from the sea. snatched from a merchant's ship."

"No wonder he has everything here like Alibaba's cave." Xi Yazhou sighed, "Let's just talk about these porcelain and hardwood, how much is it worth in RMB?"

"If you can't change it into RMB, you will make a lot of money." Wu De's unhappiness has faded a lot at this time. After this victory, the cross-travelers can be regarded as completely gaining a firm foothold in Lingao, with enough food, Take control of the salt pans.Everyone's combat effectiveness has also been verified.He knew very well from the very beginning that without such a big eater, the traversers would not be able to start smoothly. Even if this would land on the American continent in the wilderness, it would have to start with the massacre of Indians.

"That's right, now we can provide more relief in Yanchang Village. The people are very miserable, half-starved and half-satisfied with sun-dried salt. If they don't have enough to eat, labor productivity will not increase. However, Wang Gong designed a new concentrated brine equipment , should improve a lot.”

"Wang Gong is really versatile. Speaking of which, with so much cloth, my production team can also completely change clothes. I always felt that there was not enough cloth, so I used it urgently. Now I can help them prepare underwear and outerwear. , and there are two more replacements.”

"Will your production crew come back?"

"After we have fought this battle, not only will we all come back, maybe we will bring many people here." Wu De's worry and unhappiness have been swept away.Ha ha laughed, the laugh was hearty, it seems that being rich is courageous.

"Let's set up a garment factory. Not only the production team, but also a new army will be built in the future, and our own clothes must also be replaced."

"There are women in your village, can you mobilize them to start a side job?"

"That's a good way—" Xi Yaya had just finished speaking when he suddenly heard a commotion nearby, and saw Zhang Xingjiao dragging a stick, chasing and beating an embarrassing old man viciously. Torn, covered in mud, miserable.Several people who traveled through life were pulling, but they couldn't overwhelm this frail scholar.

Just as Xi Yazhou wanted to stop him, Wu De shook his head: "Forget it, Zhang Xingjiao's family will be destroyed by Gou's family. This old man is probably not a good person."

"No wonder he has to come today." Xi Yaya didn't intend to ask him to come, but when he heard that he was going to Goujiazhuang, this person had to come, and he couldn't stop him—it turned out that he was here for revenge.

This old man is the clean-up guest of the Gou family, and he was the one who came up with the idea of ​​occupying the Zhang family's cemetery, because of some "feng shui" theory, anyway, this "feng shui" is obviously bad for the Gou family, and it is also not good for the family. he.The old man was beaten countless times, if Zhang Xingjiao hadn't been weak and weak, he would have lost his head long ago.

After making a fuss for a while, Zhang Xingjiao finally suppressed him here, crying and laughing for a while, seeming a little crazy, wandering around the Gou's house, Wu De was worried that he would set fire to the Gou's house in a fit of anger, that would cause big trouble Hurry up and ask two people to follow him and arrest him.

Xi Yazhou went to Gou's house to have a look again, and together with Wu De went to inspect everywhere, especially inspecting the inspection situation. This Zhuangzi's materials are so rich that it would be a disaster if the inspection is messed up.

Dai Xie, who was sent by the Planning Commission, was in charge of all the inspection work. I don't know if this counts as the expertise of this calculation and statistics major. He is carrying a beloved bow, and he didn't even get a chance to shoot an arrow today.Right now, he is fully staffed. He is sitting behind the notebook, constantly processing the newly added data, and there are some helpers around, all of whom are very busy.

After a preliminary inspection of the warehouse and the house, Dai Xie divided the inspectors into groups. One group specialized in copying food and cloth, another group specialized in copying money, and a group specialized in copying various valuables, including jewellery, Antiques and decorations, a group of people specialized in copying all kinds of goods.After the things are taken out, they are registered and packed immediately.These boxes were made by Bopu's carpentry factory for this "hunting". They are specially used to hold gold and silver, jewelry and copper coins.This thing is indeed useful. A large number of jewelry and other things are easy to scatter, so it is reliable and safe to store them together, and it is also convenient for inspection. Many copper coins in the warehouse are scattered, so it is more convenient to pack them directly.

Porcelain, wood and other bulky and bulky goods that cannot be transported for a while, only check the numbers and names, and do not leave the warehouse. They are directly affixed with seals and wait for a vehicle to be transported in the future.

The clean-up work also gradually involved the soft things in the mansion. Compared with the huge amount of goods, the gold and silver money was not too much. There were only more than 3000 taels of silver and more than a hundred taels of gold.There are more than 4000 copper coins of various years.It is a little surprising that thousands of silver coins of different styles from various countries were also seized. The Spanish silver coins minted in Manila are the most, and there are also some small gold coins.All kinds of gold, silver and jewelry have also been seized.

Xi Yazhou knows that the consciousness of the common people is not that high, so the villagers brought here are only responsible for carrying the objects and are not allowed to take them privately.People were sent to supervise the entry and exit of the mansion.The place here is huge, and there are many things to check. Just counting the porcelain in a warehouse is enough to keep people busy for a while.If there are too many things, a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and various valuable things will fall into private hands.Grain will be scattered randomly.Fragile and fragile ones will also be smashed a lot—sometimes people just want to vent their destructive desires, especially these Yanchang villagers who are full of hatred for the Gou family, they don’t like everything they see, and they don’t like everything they see. If you want to be suspicious, when you first entered the village, someone tried to smash up the houses in the village, and even smashed a few water tanks outside the house. If Xi Yazhou hadn't asked Tan Chengqing to lead someone to stop them, many people would have a bloodbath on the spot Goujiazhuang is gone.

"If such a thing happens again, behead it immediately!" Xi Yazhou said unceremoniously to Tan Chengqing, "Don't think that I don't know what you have in mind, I tell you, no!"

"Everyone is so depressed, the Gou family has harmed us for so many years—"

"You are harmed by the Gou family, not the people of the Gou family!" Xi Yazhou reprimanded, "You are also a dutiful people, driven by the oppression of the Gou family, it is only harder than your life, you are better, the Gou family is strong At that time, I didn't even dare to let a fart go, and the Gou family wanted to be a hero to the poor people when it was over!"

Tan Chengqing blushed and hurriedly promised that she would restrain the villagers.Xi Yazhou calmed down, "The village head and several elders in the village have been rescued. You should take good care of the elderly first—they have suffered a lot."

In the midst of busy work, it was already noon in the blink of an eye, and the rubble and corpses were almost cleaned up.Reports from various places have also come out.The total casualties of the traversers were 19 people were injured, except for the one who fell, none of them were serious.In the end, nearly half of the more than 200 men, women and children who gathered in the mansion died. Many women committed suicide. No less than 30 to 200 people jumped over the wall to escape, but most of them fell in the sniper's sniper along the road. Only three or four people.In addition, almost none of the more than [-] township Yong family members were spared. Most of them were killed, and a small number were captured alive.

The most important thing, the two brothers of the Gou family, did not find out. A servant confessed that after Gou Xunli was attacked on the road that day, he went to the village to have a hasty talk with the owner for one night, and left early the next morning.But no one knew where Gou Xunyi was. The corpses had been identified one by one, but none of them belonged to him.However, the whereabouts of most of his wives, concubines and children were found, some were killed or committed suicide, and some were caught.In addition, many members of the Gou family and Qing Ke were captured.As for how to deal with them, Wu De hasn't figured it out yet.This may be up to the Executive Committee to decide.

Although the two main patriarchs were not caught, Wu De and Xi Yaya didn't take it seriously - they were vulnerable when they were rich and powerful, not to mention they are already bereaved dogs now.

The order was stable, and Wu De asked Zhang Xingjiao to come forward and called out several main figures in the village, and they separately went to beat the gong to notify each household to gather in front of Gou's house.The first meeting is to calm the people, and the second is to check whether there are any fish that slipped through the net and other clues to hide property.

To put it bluntly, this is preparing for a struggle meeting.It is a magic method that has been tried and tested repeatedly in the history of our party to mobilize the masses to make revolution.Because there is Zhang Xingjiao, a native of the village, they know the details of each family very well.He made a list, who is the dog of the Gou family, who is at odds with Gou's eldest and second child, who is a blacksmith, who is a carpenter... and so on.Of course, his personal grievances are also inevitable.For example, someone who scolded him as "the sour ding who deserves to starve to death" became the dog's leg of the Gou family on the list.
