Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 179 The Windfall Arrives

The woman was a young woman in her twenties.Her face is haggard, but she doesn't hide her beauty.But even so, in Wu Shigong's memory, he had never seen this woman.

But the woman obviously knew her.So Wu Shigong asked questioningly: "Are you?"

"My family once met Wu Qianhu in Guide Mansion." Seeing Wu Shigong still looked puzzled, the woman became a little anxious, and she reminded loudly: "At that time, my family also offered Wu Qianhu a glass of wine. Woolen cloth."

The latter sentence is somewhat ambiguous.Wu Shigong felt that the eyes of the soldiers around him were a little hot.In this day and age, it is rare for a woman to toast a man.Apart from familiar family members, this opportunity is generally available in Fengyue venues.

But after Wu Shigong traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he had no contact with women in romantic places at all. The only thing he had an impression of was Man Ling who asked him to do "advanced mathematics", and no one else.But who is this woman?

Wu Shigong's mind was spinning rapidly.Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.Then he immediately looked up and down at the woman.Finally, Wu Shigong asked with some uncertainty: "Are you Qi..." Wu Shigong thought that the woman must have been insulted before, and it would not be good to call her by her name in public, so he quickly changed his words: " Were you wearing a veil?"

Seeing that Wu Shigong had recognized her, the woman immediately began to sob and cry.Wu Shigong jumped off the horse, clasped his fists to the escorting military officer and said, "This woman is an old friend of this officer, can this brother help me..."

Before Wu Shigong finished speaking, the military officer clasped his fists and replied with a smile on his face: "Wu Qianhu, please go ahead."

Wu Shigong saluted the military officer again, and then ordered the guards around him: "Send her to my big tent outside the city. Treat her well."

Then he said to the woman: "You can wait in the big tent with peace of mind. I will come over as soon as I finish my business."

After the guard took the woman away, Wu Shigong shook his head.That woman should be the wife of the original county magistrate of Qi.After defending the county seat, Mrs. Qi did offer Wu Shigong a glass of wine.But now looking at Mrs. Qi's appearance, she thought that the county magistrate of Qi was indeed transferred to Beizhili as the magistrate.Then county magistrate Qi's fate will be more or less ominous.

But no matter what was said at that time, Qi County Magistrate and Wu Shigong always helped each other when guarding the county.Now that such a situation happened to Mrs. Qi, Wu Shigong would lend a helping hand no matter what.

As soon as Wu Shigong arrived at Zhizhou Yamen, Qin Liangyu, who had already received the report, immediately called Wu Shigong in.Seeing Qin Liangyu's wide-eyed smile, Wu Shigong knew that Qin Liangyu had not only killed many Tartars and captured Luanzhou City, but also captured a lot last night.

So, Wu Shigong sneaked his head over and asked in a low voice, "Mom, the harvest last night was good."

Qin Liangyu was suddenly amused by Wu Shigong's words, she stretched out her hand and shuddered on Wu Shigong's head, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, you are making fun of your old man." Ma Xianglin on the side also laughed happily.

Qin Liangyu then handed Wu Shigong a piece of paper, and said to Wu Shigong: "I have never done anything to demolish rivers and bridges. You also contributed a lot yesterday. Look, these are the things seized in the city, and I will give you [-]%."

Qin Liangyu's distribution ratio is based on the number of soldiers, which is quite fair.Wu Shigong took the paper and read it carefully.A lot of material was seized.

Because the white-armed soldiers rushed into Luanzhou City very quickly, the later Jin army was defeated very quickly.Therefore, the materials in Luanzhou City were basically preserved.More than 800 horses were seized alone, and more than 9000 shi of grain were seized.This food was specially kept because Huang Taiji wanted to manage the four cities of Yongping, so he didn't take it outside the pass and left it behind. This made Qin Liangyu and Wu Shigong cheaper.

In addition, there are large quantities of cloth, wine, tea and tobacco.Of course, there is no gold, silver or jewelry in this list.Anyway, this was a matter of tacit understanding, and Wu Shigong would not bring it up to Qin Liangyu so uninterestedly.

Wu Shigong was also very happy after seeing it, and said to Qin Liangyu: "Mom is mighty, relying on you as a vanguard, I took Luanzhou City down. Why didn't the emperor regard you as Mu Guiying and put him in command? Otherwise, the four cities of Yongping might have been recovered long ago."

After listening to Wu Shigong's flattery, Qin Liangyu was very useful, and she laughed and scolded again: "If you don't respect the emperor, you brat, don't talk nonsense! It's also too useless for the Tartars in the city. But there are not many real Tartars. All that remained were the Mongols and the Han Chinese who took refuge in the Tartars. Without their masters, they just flew around like headless chickens in the city, and it took little effort to clean them up. You say it’s funny or not, they don’t even have the yamen None of the documents in it were taken or burned."

Then, Qin Liangyu seemed to think of something, and said to Wu Shigong with a smile: "You're an 'Old Mom', 'Old Mom', it's too ugly. Otherwise, call me a godmother."

Wu Shigong smiled and agreed.

Qin Liangyu went on to say: "Don't think that we can divide all these things on the list. We always leave about [-] shi of grain and some property as confiscated and handed over. Oh! I just received the news from Grand Master Sun that he will lead the The main force will arrive here in two days."

"Why!" Wu Shigong was very unhappy when he heard that the meat in his mouth was going to be spit out, "They haven't done anything, so why give them something? Besides, the main force must bring something to them. They don’t care about our food, so they don’t look down on us.”

Qin Liangyu said helplessly to Wu Shigong: "There is no other way. Do you think the old man doesn't want these things? But even if we insist on keeping these things with us, there is no big truck to transport them. We will not stay long after all. Here, these things are not thrown here for nothing!"

Wu Shigong thought it was true.But he changed his mind and said to Qin Liangyu: "Anyway, let's get these things into our own hands first. The boy has something to do with the car and horse dealer in the southern part of the capital, so try to find a way to transport some big cars. At most, this way If it doesn’t work, still throwing it away is still better than giving it away for nothing now.”

Hearing that Wu Shigong had a solution, Qin Liangyu certainly would not disagree.Wu Shigong went on to say: "Not only these things, but all useful things in Luanzhou City must be moved to the camp, and don't even leave a rat's tail behind. Those of us who are miserable, haha, can only manage our families like this gone."

Wu Shigong's words caused laughter all around, and Ma Xianglin joked: "Brother Wu is so good at housekeeping, if you are a woman, I will definitely marry you." Ma Xianglin's words caused another burst of laughter.

How thick-skinned Wu Shigong is, he immediately retorted: "Brother Ma, you have no chance. Because you are indeed too ugly."

Qin Liangyu smiled and watched the pair of live treasures playing with their lips, and suddenly found that Wu Shigong stopped his expression and was thinking about something quietly.Qin Liangyu was a little puzzled and asked, "What's the matter?"

At this time, Wu Shigong was thinking of the rebellion of the Holy Spirit, the entry of the Tartars, and that Mrs. Qi.He connected these things together, and remembered the land confiscated from the rioters that he bought through the Qi County Magistrate.

Immediately, Wu Shigong made up his mind, and said to Qin Liangyu: "Godmother, I have a way to make money here. Look at the land in Luanzhou City, there is no human habitation at all. These lands are unowned. You just said that the documents in the yamen were not taken away, so those land deeds stored in the yamen are now in our hands. We simply sell all these unowned lands. "

Qin Liangyu was taken aback by Wu Shigong's whimsy. She retorted incredulously: "Are you really out of your mind, brat? We just want to sell it. How can anyone come to buy it at this moment? And they don't want to buy it." It is simply impossible to pay so much cash. Besides, we have sold the land, and if we become officials in Luanzhou City in the future, they will hate us. Even We can run away, but those who buy land can’t escape, isn’t this pushing people into the fire pit? Whoever knows this fire pit will not come to jump.”

Wu Shigong made a confident appearance, and he said to Qin Liangyu mysteriously: "Godmother, don't you know my identity?"

Qin Liangyu thought about it for a while, her eyes lit up, and she immediately understood what Wu Shigong meant.Wu Shigong has two marquis mansions behind him, and with his relatives, he should be able to include the entire noble circle in the capital.

And these noble silvers are definitely not lacking, and they like to buy land the most. What's even better is that the capital is not far from Luanzhou City, so it is quite convenient to manage.As long as Qin Liangyu lowered the land price, wouldn't those nobles flock to her?

Ma Xianglin, who was at the side, hadn't fully figured it out yet. He asked, "Then what should we do if the people who fled from the land we sold come back with the land deeds?"

The land deeds of the Ming Dynasty were in duplicate.One is kept by the government and the other by the landlord.A bit like the current real estate certificate.

Wu Shigong gave Ma Xianglin a white look, and explained angrily: "After the dignitaries bought the land, if they can't settle this kind of matter through the government, then the hats of the dignitaries on their heads can be thrown into the latrine. Besides, in the Most of the people left here also have their tails shaved. It would be good if they were not taken as tartars and arrested and beheaded. Do they still want land? When the time comes, just give them another piece of wasteland. This kind of thing, those dignitaries who bought the land will deal with it, so we don’t need to worry about it.”

Qin Liangyu smiled and immediately made a decision: "Okay! Let's do it this way. But here we have to make it clear that we will first set aside three taels of silver per mu for this land. Follow the old rules, you get [-]% and a half."

Wu Shigong complained: "Godmother, you are too picky. You have to be right about everything you say."

Finally, after some bargaining, the land price was set at four taels per mu, and Wu Shigong got one-third of the income.After discussing everything properly, Qin Liangyu arranged for Wu Shigong to immediately write two letters to Yangwuhou Mansion and Gongshunhou Mansion, asking these two Marquis Lords to immediately unite with the nobles and powerful civil servants in the capital to bring the money to Luanzhou City together Buy land.Of course, they are also needed to help, mobilize a group of large vehicles to transport all the seized things.

Qin Liangyu planned to let the envoy sent by Wu Shigong rush to the capital together with the envoy he sent to the capital to repay his meritorious service.

After discussing all this, Qin Liangyu stared again, and said to Wu Shigong, "Why don't you go to work quickly?"

Wu Shigong was in a particularly good mood at this time, and he said with a playful smile: "Godmother, what are you doing? Are you writing letters or transporting things to Daying?"

Seeing that Wu Shigong still dared to tease him, Qin Liangyu stretched out his hand and gave Wu Shigong a shudder, and scolded with a smile: "Let me do it!"

Wu Shigong walked to the door whistling with a smile, and suddenly remembered something, he turned around and said to Qin Liangyu: "Godmother, I still have a few things to ask you here."
